The night breeze brought coolness, but also brought a damp smell of decay. There might be a plague or infectious disease breaking out in Gotham after the flood. After all, there were a lot of corpses in the sewers.
Among the many sewers that Su Ming has gone through, Gotham's sewers are not the most extensive, nor are they the most complex. But when it comes to the bone density of corpses inside, Gotham's is definitely second to none.
You must know that there are a lot of rats living in the sewers. If a corpse is thrown into the sewer, it will turn into a white skeleton and be washed away by the sewage within a few hours.
But in Gotham, if you go into the sewers anytime, you can see fresh corpses just walking around.
The cause of death is basically the same, murder.
Maybe it's the work of gangsters, maybe it's the actions of some villains. Gotham is a modern metropolis. Every day, people disappear in the reinforced concrete jungle, and there are also a steady stream of people entering this black city to pursue their dreams.
Not everyone is a bad person who wants to be the boss and make a lot of money. But there are a lot of gray businesses in Gotham, and the rewards for such businesses are also very high.
In fact, it must be very profitable to be an mortician in Gotham. The number of people who die miserably every day in Gotham is definitely several times more than in Midtown or Metropolis.
Every time Gordon looks for Batman, it's a murder case. That doesn't mean he doesn't have other cases. He just picks cases that look like they were committed by super villains. Maybe there are dozens of murders at the same time.
It's up to ordinary police officers to solve the case.
Batman is recognized as a dark hero, but he rarely enters the sewer system, so the underground labyrinth of the Court of Owls has been hidden under his feet in the sewers for decades.
Now, Su Ming suspected that the cultists who summoned other things might have occupied the owl's old stronghold, or they might have moved through the sewers.
Because if the cult wants to operate in Gotham unnoticed, it can only do so from a high altitude or underground, otherwise it will definitely be captured by Batman's cameras in the city.
Gang crimes generally have a fixed characteristic, that is, they must assemble before committing crimes.
It's impossible to gather at the victim's door, and then everyone in the city will either take a taxi or drive there by themselves, right? Wait in line in front of the victim's house?
Gotham residents will also call the police.
These people should first gather somewhere in the city or the suburbs, and then suddenly appear outside the victim's house. Su Ming believes that the possibility of the sewer moving is more than 50%, or through magic, airdrop, or phase ability.
The chances of waiting are very low.
Just go to Wayne Mansion later and take a look at the surveillance cameras.
"Now our city is in danger again..." Gordon sighed. As the police chief, he must protect citizens, but this sounds like a natural task, but it is very difficult in Gotham.
"..."
"Last time it was a flood, what will the next time be? I feel like...Batman? Again..."
It turned out that at the moment Gordon threw away the cigarette butt with emotion, lowered his head and stamped it out with his foot, Batman disappeared again.
He goes as gently as he comes.
There is no trace of Batman in the surrounding buildings. Only Gordon is still standing next to the Bat-Light upstairs in the police station, as if that man has never been here.
But Gordon still went downstairs with satisfaction. Perhaps more than ten years ago, he would have been driven to a nervous breakdown by Batman's elusiveness and never saying goodbye.
But after so many years of training, even if he suddenly opens his eyes at night and finds Batman lying on his side staring at him, he can still remain calm.
.............................
"Alfred, good evening."
Although you can deceive many people by pretending to be Batman, Alfred is definitely not one of them. When it comes to understanding Batman in this world, Alfred and the Joker should be tied for first, followed by Serena.
Waiting for all the ex-girlfriends and Superman Clark...
It seems that something extraordinary has been discovered.
But that's all beside the point. Su Ming had no intention of pretending to be Batman and entering Wayne Mansion. That would definitely be discovered.
Maybe the amplitude of the step is a few centimeters different from before, or even the gloss of the teeth is different, which may be discovered by the butler man, which will not be conducive to future plans.
Now Su Ming wants to package himself as a good person and a righteous partner. He must win the support of at least half of the Zhenglian Alliance, so that he can get the "Beyond" doorknob into his arms relatively peacefully.
But if the doorknob ownership is decided by a vote, Su Ming is only confident of gaining the support of Barry and Diana, but that is far from enough.
Although Su Ming saved Arthur last time, that reckless man was always on the same side as Hawk Girl in the alliance. Who knows why.
He didn't understand the meaning of ordinary issues. Anyway, he voted how Hawkgirl voted. It was as simple as that.
As for Eagle Girl, she doesn't have a good relationship with Su Ming. The night sword in his hand can be seen to be made of N metal at a glance. They don't care which earth your N metal comes from.
Collecting N metal is a conflict with the position of Eagle Man and Eagle Girl. They announced more than two thousand years ago that the N metal on the earth was contracted by them.
Besides, the last time Yingren was controlled by darkness, it was Su Ming's plan that sent him to the hospital. He is still in a vegetative state with no intention of waking up.
Although the Eagle Man and Eagle Girl in this life are not husband and wife, there is no guarantee that they have any special feelings. Anyone would be unhappy to see the reincarnation of their lover from the past life turn into a vegetative state, right?
Thanks to Clark being the one who wielded the hammer in the first place, Su Ming escaped most of the responsibility for his decision to paddle.
Among the so-called Zhenglian Big Seven, there are eight people with voting rights, which is normal.
Hawkgirl must be arranged to get rid of her. Killing is not necessary, but Su Ming has to help Green Arrow get the voting rights back.
Help Green Arrow regain the right to vote and speak. Oliver is a person who repays kindness and will stand by Su Ming to a certain extent.
As for Neptune, Su Ming plans to negotiate a deal with Mei La. She can control Arthur and has a bad sense of Zheng Lian, so she can take advantage of him.
In this way, counting Barry and Diana, Su Ming holds four votes. However, if he wants Batman to agree to use a vote to determine the ownership of the doorknob, Ron must be won over, at least to get him to agree to hold a vote.
Although Ron's position as Chairman of Zhenglian is nominal, sometimes it can be very useful if used properly...
Su Ming didn't have many options for Martian Manhunter. The guy was very smart. This couldn't be done by defeating him with force. He had to prove to Ron that he was an extremely upright hero.
You can't buy it with Oreo cookies, and chocolate has limited effect. How about starting with Megan?
Gotta think about it...
Su Ming smiled politely at Ah Fu who opened the door, and hid the plan in his mind. He was now just a young visitor wearing a black suit.
Alfred also bowed slightly very elegantly: "It turns out to be Mr. Wilson. Is there anything important this late at night?"
"Well, Director Gordon has left, right? Barbara is anxious to find him." Su Ming pretended not to know anything and walked into the lobby on his own.
Ah Fu was called a spy. He closed the door gently, welcomed Su Ming into the living room, and started making tea to entertain him.
"Yes, Director Gordon has left. After all, after the flood recedes, I have no reason to keep him, right?" Ah Fu smiled decently. Even late at night, there was not a single wrinkle in his tuxedo:
"Does black tea have sugar?"
"No, thank you. It's not good to eat sweets at night." Su Ming took the tea cup politely and sat on the luxurious leather sofa, sinking in.
The Wayne Mansion is still the same as it was the last time I visited, except that at midnight, even with the lights on, this old mansion has an eerie feeling.
The old butler put the teapot on the table and still looked at him with a smile: "Actually, I should thank you. Thank you for saving the young master's friend and also saving a good policeman in Gotham."
"You're too polite. It's just a small effort. Helping good people is what I've been doing." Su Ming replied very sincerely, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then went straight to the topic: "I need some help now, can you
Would you like to use your brother eyes again?"
"Could it be that my young master has caused trouble again?" The housekeeper still smiled very decently, but showed a slight hint of doubt.
Su Ming shook his head. Using his brother's eyes here might be noticed by bats. It would be too easy to tell lies about Bruce.
"No, it's not Bruce, but his son Damian. His current situation is very dangerous."
Hearing what Su Ming said, Ah Fu immediately became serious. He had heard from Bruce that this death knell from another world was very different from the original death knell.
He felt that Damian must have really encountered some trouble, and with Deathstroke's ability, it was not difficult to invade the Batcave, but the other party still came in through the front door very politely and asked politely.
It sounds like it's still to help Damian, how can I refuse...
"Then please come with me and let's see what kind of trouble Damian got into." Ah Fu turned around and made a gesture of invitation with his arms, asking Su Ming to move to the study with him and go down the piano passage there.
Su Ming stood up, straightened his clothes, smiled and nodded in response: "I'm not sure if Damian really has a problem, but I heard that a powerful monster appeared in Gotham, and Damian's
The Teen Titans returned from New York to Gotham just for this."
"It's better to see it with your own eyes before you can rest assured. Thank you for your concern." Ah Fu fiddled with the piano a few times, and an elevator appeared behind the bookshelf: "Please come in."
Not only did Ah Fu take Su Ming into the Batcave, but he also helped him operate the Brother Eye system. This future artificial intelligence is now just an ordinary surveillance device. It only manages tens of thousands of cameras and dozens of spy satellites in Gotham.
.
With this, Su Ming can find some key clues. After finding the Teen Titans, it's time to act as Deathstroke...
