In the office of the president of the Wayne Enterprise Building in Gotham, the battle is going on, and the sudden attack of the Owl Court did surprise Bruce and Clarke. Even if Bruce, who didn't put on a bat suit and trained his physical fitness to the limit, it would not be a problem for one person to face three or five so-called undead warrior claws, not to mention, there was also a Clark by his side.

The dish is a little dish, but there is still a lot of strength, and with the cooperation of the two, these claws from the owl court do not have an advantage. And these guys also understood the difficulty of the two obliteration targets in front of them, and at this moment, among the several claws who were fighting with Bruce and Clark, suddenly one of the claws hugged Bruce and led him to the edge of the broken window.

"Bruce!"

With a roar, Clark didn't think much about it, and his power was released, knocking away the claws besieging him one by one. If he didn't do this before, he always thought that these guys were human, but after a fight, it was enough to break the bones of normal people, and the power of temporary loss of consciousness had no effect on him, Clark also understood that these guys were not human at all, and since they were not human, there was no need to talk about humanitarianism.

Twenty times more than the human limit, the claws broke the bones, and then Clark jumped from the window, trying to make sure his friend was safe. Then he saw Bruce, with a feather dagger in his hand, standing on the gargoylee statue used to decorate the building, and seeing that his friend was safe and sound, Clark also stuck his arm into the wall, making a mark as a buffer, and then fell to where Bruce was.

Looking at the owl court killer smashed on the roof of the car below, Clark also frowned.

"These guys, I never found anything in my memories of the old universe about their existence."

"Because the Owl Court is just a legend, a legend hidden in the dark."

"You still think they're just legends?"

"Yes, I've investigated them, they never existed, and now, it's just someone using this legend against me. They want to tell me that this city is theirs, but Gotham, it's my city, let's go, next, it's time to contact the police. ”

Turning around, he removed the feather dagger from his arm, and behind the gargoyle statue, a secret door opened, and the two walked in. Next, as Bruce said, there was a fall and assassination in the Wayne enterprise, which was undoubtedly a huge news revelation for the media that had not dispersed at this time, and after a public relations team operation, the two returned to Wayne Manor, and Clark, that is, Superman, only then received the news about the disappearance of his cousin Carla in Naxino City.

'Bang! ’

The expensive table in the living room was directly printed with a palm print under Clark's power, and Clark couldn't calm down about Kara's disappearance, first his son, then Kara, who would be next.

"I've asked Diana to protect Louise, do you need to rush back?" Looking at his friend who was not in a calm mood, Bruce also asked there.

"No, I'm right here, that stinky boy has gone back, I still believe in him, of course, he must also get Kara back, or he will understand what the consequences are. Now, let's talk about how to find Jonathan Jr. and Damian, and what exactly the Joker wants to do! ”

"We'll find out."

On the other side, Ke Wen, who saw the news early in the morning, also left Gotham as soon as possible and returned to his own city, Naxino. The place where he appeared was the Titan Building, which has not been thoroughly shown to the world until now, and belongs to the base camp of these second-generation superheroes, when Kewen's dimensional wall appeared in the Titan Building, and when he came out of it, he was greeted by a glowing bullet, raised his hand, scattered it at will, and grabbed the blade located above his head.

The owner of the blade is Kara's sister who is not related by blood, Alex Danvers, the daughter of the scientist couple who adopted Kara, in order to protect Kara, since he was a child, he was arranged by his father who has a close relationship with the military to join the super-investigation department, receiving professional training, and finally successfully ascended to the position and became the youngest head of the secret service. It can be said that in this world, in addition to Superman and Curvin, Alex cares about and cares about Kara's relatives the most, and now, Carla is missing, and Alex naturally can't calm down.

When he learned that his sister had no news after the battle last night, and he couldn't contact Kara on his side, Alex also mobilized the power of the entire super investigation department at the first time and began to conduct a carpet search of Naxinno City, and at the same time rushed to the detective agency where Kewen was located as soon as possible, and only came to the Titan Mansion after not finding Kewen there. happened to have a perfect time difference with Ke Wen, who rushed to hear the news, and ran into it, so there was this scene.

Pushing Alex away from the attack with skill, he said, "Calm down, calm down and it's time to do something, unless you want Kara to have something!" ”

"I'm calm, I just want to know why the guy that Carla has been caring about and cares about didn't show up last night, it could have been avoided." Putting the blade away, Alex was there questioning Curvin.

In the face of Alex's questioning, Kewen opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain it to her. He and Dick left Naxinno City to go to Gotham to find clues about the Joker, and wanted to catch the Joker before he did anything in his city, so that Kara and the others would not be harmed, but it was only one night, who would have thought that just one night after he left the city, Kara's side would disappear, and so on.

Ke Wen's mind was full of thoughts, and his face was changing, and finally turned into a sigh, because he understood that he had lost another round in the stealth game with the Joker. I'm afraid that from the moment I saw the signal left by the Joker to the time I left Naxino City, I was led by the Joker, and the Joker knew that he would go to him, and the only one who was most familiar with the Joker was Batman, and he could only go to Batman for help, while he had been staying in Naxino City, waiting for an opportunity.

Otherwise, it really can't explain that Kara would disappear in the face of a super-criminal who releases sound waves, a super-criminal who releases electricity, and a guy who hasn't even appeared before. You know, Kara has already experienced several big events, experience and combat power are guaranteed, there is no reason to lose, or even stalemate, there must be something involved in this battle.

"I can't explain that much to you right now, Alex, but I want to find that Kara's heart is no worse than yours, and if you want to continue to work with me here, do whatever you want, but, don't bother me!"

Saying this, Ke Wen also directly crossed Alex and walked towards the main control computer room of the Titan Building, behind Ke Wen, Alex's expression changed a little, and he also followed. The door of the main control computer room opened, and I saw the steel skeleton connected to the computer being operated and Lena who was assisting there, the steel skeleton was connected to the satellites all over the earth's space at this time, constantly filtering all kinds of information there, trying to find where Kara was, and Lena was using the computer to find a certain frequency.

After seeing Cowen and Alex come in, the two of them just turned around and said hello to him, and then continued to work on finding Kara.

"How's the situation," asked Kewen as he stepped forward.

"There's a lot of information, but there's so little to do with Kara, there's no information other than the battle that happened last night, everything was sudden." The steel skeleton connected to the network is also there to report the situation.

"I'm looking for the whereabouts of the two guys who fought Kara last night through the sound wave frequencies and current frequencies I've collected, and it will take some time." Lena said there too.

After pondering for a long time, Ke Wen also said to Cyborg: "Victor, do me a favor, bring out the information of the two guys who fought with Carla last night, the battle took place in the Kate International Media Building, right, then these two people are likely to be employees of that building, try to find the information." ”

"I've found it."

On the computer screen, information about the two villains who fought Kara last night, the Electric Girl and the Kraken, appears. There is nothing surprising, from birth to campus to job hunting, except for some places that are more prominent, there is no problem, except for one place that is the same, that is, in the past half a month, these two have often gone to psychological counseling, and this is what makes Ke Wen more sure of the conjecture in his heart.

"This guy is a clown, he has taken the initiative from the beginning."

"Joker? This guy shot behind the back? Why do you think Kara's disappearance has something to do with him? ”

Lena, who was tracking the frequency there, was also stunned, and then asked rhetorically, about the news about the malicious graffiti of the statue of the hero of Curvin and Carla a a few days ago, Lena also watched. But unlike Cowen, Lena's impression of the Joker is still stuck in the time when the metropolis targeted Superman's wife, the madman who tore off his face and could still laugh under Superman's hot gaze, his laughter was an absolute nightmare.

"Remember the news a few days ago about me and Kara's superhero statue being maliciously graffitied, it was a signal from the Joker?"

"He? But why is he targeting you, and Kara, shouldn't his enemy be Batman? ”

Lena asked rhetorically, and similarly, there was Alex behind Cowen, for Lena and Alex, the two of them were not very active in the old 52 universe, and the turmoil caused by the rebirth of the memory of the old universe did not have a great impact on them, and they didn't know why at all. As a steel skeleton who was active in the old 52 universe and had a new life in the new 52 universe, his brain, which was comparable to the Apocalypse Star Mother Box, was also deduced from the reason for the first time.

As soon as the screen flashed on the computer screen, the two villains who fought Kara appeared about consulting a psychiatrist, and the content of the reports on it was not much different. They are all saying that they have been having nightmares recently, dreaming that they have become another person, have superpowers, and do evil things, which makes them feel scared, they have no problems in their lives now, why do they want to be a villain.

"I think it's because of this, since you, a new soul born in the new universe, became a new hero, and the ripples around you in this timeline have affected everyone. And the return of another Wally, bringing back memories from another timeline, has affected everyone in this universe, and the same goes for the Joker, who hates the impact of your changes because it will affect his entanglement with Batman, so, he's going to defeat you, right? ”

"Almost, otherwise I can't explain that the two people who were normal at the beginning just went to psychological counseling, according to the psychiatrist's diagnosis report above, they have gotten rid of the influence of the memory of the old universe, and there is no reason to suddenly transform into the person in the memory, but if it is the clown who also has the memory of the old universe to intervene, then everything is easy to explain, this guy, but he has studied the weakness of the human heart deep enough, and even my visit to Gotham is in his hands.

Victor, according to this psychological counseling report as a template, searched the whole city to correspond. Also, please take a look at how many people in Naxino City have become criminals in the old universe before, and everyone has a different way of coping with these memories according to the memories of the old universe, which may trouble you, please. ”

"Wrap it up on me."

In response to Ke Wen's words, the steel skeleton connected to the network also began to use two things, and began to search in the city of Naxino City according to his old cosmic memories. And from Alex, who was like listening to the book of heaven just now, from the beginning of the momentum, to the current face full of doubts, she now only knows that there is a clown behind her sister's disappearance this time, but about the old universe, another timeline, these are basically not understood, after all, she is not very involved in the old universe, and the memory triggered by it is just a dream that she has done and forgotten for her.

"So, you have a clue now?"

"Partly, you can choose to continue the stalemate with me here, or you can choose to go with your agents and purge all the gangsters in your documents before, including their property and warehouses."

"What's the point?"

"Ever heard a story," said Curwen suddenly, "many years ago, a mercenary was working for the local government in Burma, and the government tried to bribe the local tribal leaders with gems, and then their convoy was robbed by a robber, and the mercenaries were sent to investigate the whereabouts of the gems, and it took six months to find nothing, until one day they saw him playing with a gem the size of an orange in the hands of a local kid, and the robber snatched the gem and threw it in the forest so casually. ”

"Why did he do this," Alex wondered.

"Because gems are not his purpose, what he enjoys is just this process of grabbing gems, which is very fun. But then, he was caught, do you know how that mercenary did it? ”

"How."

"They burned the whole forest. So, if the Joker wants to continue playing with me, he has to be in this city, because this is the home of the game he wants, but I'm sorry, what I want you to do now is destroy the home of this game, and I'll be here in the Titan Mansion to assist you, you can do it. ”

Saying this story, Kewen also looked at Alex and nodded, and Alex also left the Titan Building, contacting the agents of the Superinvestigation Department who were searching for it. It was going to be a bad day for the gangsters in Nacino City, who were still celebrating the disappearance of the flying figure in their stronghold, and the next second, heavily armed agents and police broke down the door, relying on the advantage of their equipment to hunt them down.

No matter how they moved, they couldn't escape the police and agents, and every safe house they thought was safe had police officers waiting for them. Because Ke Wen, who is sitting in the Titan Building, directly opened the regional library to the limit, maybe he can't find the whereabouts of the Joker, but no matter how much the Joker cares, how wise as a demon, he can't escape the fact that he is a person, catch Kara, there is no problem, and the super criminals who have turned back into ordinary people will be transformed back to their original appearance, your ability.

But as long as his goal is still himself, he has to play with himself in the city of Naxino, he needs a hiding place, maybe he has a way to deceive the perception of the regional library, but with such a big movement in the city, these intertwined underground forces are scurrying around like rats that have predicted the earthquake in advance. Even if the clown hides it well, he will be alarmed, and at that time, he can slam his knight kick on the clown's face.

In the Titan Building, connected to the regional library, Ke Wen mastered the trajectory of the agents of the Super Investigation Department led by Alex and the police force of the Naxino City Police Department at this time, and at the same time, he continued to use the feedback from the regional library to let Lena on the side pass the information to Alex, and let her lead people to uproot these underground strongholds in Naxino City one by one. I haven't done this before, it's Ke Wenbai, there is light and darkness, and there will be evil forces in any way, as long as the social system has not reached the so-called utopia, that's it.

But this is a phenomenon in itself, he can pass on the chivalry as a Kamen Rider and save the world, only in this regard, he can't interfere, he can assist, but he can't interfere directly, which is one of the reasons why DC's superheroes can live in harmony with civilians, as well as the local government, they understand what they can do, and where some lines can't be crossed unless they have to.

But this time, Kewen can't care so much, Carla was caught by the clown, and he still discussed the bottom line with me? I'm still human if I don't catch you and beat you up?! It's just that what makes Ke Wen curious is that this anti-gang and anti-evil operation lasted from day to night, and the clown hidden somewhere in the city still didn't move, at least in Kewen's regional library feedback, there were no clues that needed his attention.

"This guy can just hold his breath?" Cowen, who had found nothing, gradually became a little irritable, because he knew that every second of time dragged on, Kara's danger increased, and at this moment, the voice of the steel bone also came.

"Kewen, I have two pieces of information here that you need to know, Winshort and Doris Zur, in the past universe, one was the son of a toy man, and the other was a giant girl, who had the ability to make herself huge, they all worked at that Kate International Media, and they have always been ordinary people, and now... I'll send you the address. ”

"No, Victor, I already know where they are."

When Cyborg reported the information to himself, Ke Wen also locked the location of the two through the regional library as soon as possible. It is impossible for him to remember all the characters in DC, that is, this giant girl has an impression, but it is only the impression of her after becoming a giant, and he doesn't know her real name. But now that Victor has provided the names, the information about the two men is presented in detail in his mind.

At the same time, Curwen also noticed something strange about it.

"Found you," exited from the regional library, the gray dimensional wall rose, and was about to take Ke Wen out of the Titan Building, and Lena on the side also took out the flower dream card box that Ke Wen gave her, and was about to follow.

"Why are you keeping up?"

"Help you."

"Kara has already had an accident, I don't want you to have something to do with it, I've learned the horror of the clown, stay here, don't let anyone in, including me, unless I use the dimensional wall to show up."

Flicked Lena's forehead, without giving Lena a chance to get close to him, the gray dimensional wall took himself out of the Titan Mansion and went to the location of these two people who were active in the old 52 universe and are now just ordinary people. If the Joker is going to continue playing with him, the two of them will be targets, and one of them has already gone wrong, the son of Cyborg, who Cyborg calls a toy man, Winshort Shot.

On the other side, in the mortuary of the Gotham Hospital, Director James Gordon was looking at the corpses of several claws lying there, smoking a cigarette at the same time. In the dim environment, in addition to the dim lights, only Gordon himself and these corpses remained, and a mysterious atmosphere surrounded the mortuary. Gordon only took two puffs, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said, "You're there, aren't you?" ”

In the darkness, his white pupils lit up, and Batman stepped out of the shadows behind Gordon and came to Gordon's side, followed by another voice.

"Good evening, Director Gordon."

The sudden gentle voice made Gordon cough twice, and then he turned his head and saw a black uniform, with the S logo on his chest, but Superman, who did not have a cape, also followed behind Batman. This made Gordon stunned, and it took a while to come to his senses, looking at the two of them in black uniforms, and complaining: "You still know how to follow the local customs, shouldn't you be busy participating in the presidential campaign at this time." ”

"But I also need to do what I can, and this time it's a big deal, Director Gordon."

"I know very well that the clown is back, that guy, I can't forget what he did to Barbara, both before and now, so, do you think it will be the clown who is instigating this time, and he will be the only one who will play with these things."

"Together, I can't tell, Gordon."

Gordon didn't respond to Batman's answer, just turned around and prepared to leave the mortuary, and then said, "Remember to turn off the lights when you go, Batman, and besides, have a great night, Superman." ”

With a strange look in his eyes, he looked at Gordon's departing back, and Superman also consciously closed the door and asked Batman to perform an autopsy on these incapacitated claw corpses. He then watched Batman remove the mask of one of the claws, revealing a face that was not recorded in the Batman brothers' eye computer file at all, and then saw Batman break the man's mouth open and remove his back molars.

"What are you doing?"

"Collect evidence, look," Superman couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he saw that inside the tooth that Batman showed him, with an owl printed on it, "I remember you told me in the morning that the Owl Court was just a legend. ”

"I wanted it to be a legend, so I'm confirming that it's a legend, but now it looks like it's probably true."

With a slight squint in his eyes, Batman was there to analyze the degree of wear and tear of the tooth to deduce the age of the claw, and then put the back molars back on him, put the mask back on, and at the same time took out a few trackers and put them on them.

"Let's go, there's something to do."

"So what's the reason you put trackers on them."

"They've attacked Dick and Curvin in Naxino before, they're not human, they're capable of regenerating themselves, they just need time, count the time, it's almost. If the legend is correct, as the talons of the Owl Court, their meaning is to get rid of all the people who interfere with the Owl Court's control of Gotham, Bruce Wayne is one, because of his new Gotham project, then who else is their target besides Bruce Wayne, they will give us the answer. ”

Listening to Batman's explanation, Superman can't say anything, after all, after cutting off the power, his super brain can't go online, and the matter of using his brain is still left to his partner as the world's greatest detective to solve. The two quietly left the mortuary, hiding in the shadows, and soon, the few claws that had lost their breath in the mortuary left the mortuary and moved towards the rest of Gotham in the sight of Batman and Superman.

"Scattered, what do you say," Superman asked Batman, looking at the tracker-mounted claws running around on Batman's handheld computer.

"One person is in charge of one side, and again, don't be impulsive, even if you see little Jonathan and Damian, unless they are really in danger, you will not take action, understand."

"Clear."

After getting Batman's approval, Superman also jumped up to the outside of the floor, and his body moved dozens of meters in the air, and then he was summoned by Newton's Venerable and fell to the ground, but fortunately, Superman quickly took out the hook gun from his waist, sprayed it directly, and nailed it to the wall, and the strength of the hook gun also took Superman through an arc in the air, directly hit the fence, and directly broke the fence, which stopped.

touched his unscathed head, and then said to Batman who saw his embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I forgot that I can't fly now, I need to get used to it, don't worry, I will be able to catch up with you soon." ”

Batman: ···

Also taking action is Dick who remains in Gotham, and at this time, he is appearing in Gotham's cemetery with Jason and Tim, and Robin, the second and third generations, next to the tombstones of his parents' dead. And Dick and Jason were also digging with hoes there, while Tim was controlling his handheld computer there, watching Dick and Jason digging graves there, his expression was a little subtle.

"So can you tell me why you called the two of us to the cemetery to dig up the graves at night, or your own parents' graves, and let me find information about the circus you used to be in, any questions, Dick."

"I can't tell, maybe there is, maybe not, you are responsible for looking for it, I was young at that time, and some of my memories are vague, but now it seems that there are some places that are very strange."

Dick was there to answer Tim's question, and at the same time his hand movements did not stop, shoveling dirt there. Jason, who also helped Dick shovel the soil, also asked, "So, do you think your childhood memories have been tampered with?" ”

"No, it's not like that, I never told you about me before I was adopted by Bruce, but I think you know part of it, right?"

"Well, the Flying Graysons are the top names of the circus."

"Yes, we circus are a big family, we make a living by touring all over the country, and many of us have lived in the circus since birth. So when I was a child, I had a lot of childhood playmates, but I was not impressed with them, because they always disappeared from the world one after another, and my parents told me that every time I went to a city, the head of the regiment would contact the local child welfare agency to find a home for the adopted children, and I was young at the time, so I didn't dig into it, but looking back now, it always feels wrong. ”

"You mean, why did your head adopt so many children, right? The circus is not a charity, everyone in it has their own place, what is the point of having such a group of children, not as a training successor, but constantly training them, just to let them have a good home? ”

"Yes, that's why I'm curious."

"Does that have anything to do with the fact that we're digging your parents' graves now?"

Just as Tim asked, the two of them, who were swinging their hoes, heard the sound of the hoes colliding with hard objects, and the coffins of Dick's parents appeared in front of them. After glancing at each other, Dick jumped down, picked up the coffin buried in the ground, jumped up, and then slowly lowered it. After saying sorry in his heart, he pushed the coffin away, and the three of them also saw the whole picture inside at this moment.

The Graysons, who died in the performance accident, were buried together, but inside, there was only one skeleton, the bones of Dick's mother, and the bones of his father, which were missing. Similarly, Tim, who used his PDA to search for the circus where Dick used to be, found information at this moment.

"I found it, this is a bill from fifteen years ago, from your circus, which shows that in the cities where your circus has toured, there are remittances from the local welfare institute, and the name of the account receiving the remittance is..."

"John Grayson, my father!"

Dick picked up Tim's words and added. When Dick says his father's name, Jason and Tim are both in a state of surprise, because they know very well that Dick's parents are dead, but now the coffin in front of them is only a skeleton, and the account name is Dick's father's name, which is a bit ridiculous to look at.

"You're better than I thought, my son."

Just when the three of them were puzzled by the truth that Dick suddenly excavated, a voice sounded in the cemetery, and following the reputation, they saw the leader of the claws who defeated Dick standing in the dark, looking at the three Dick at this time, especially after he said this, including Dick, it was difficult to accept the fact that this happened in front of his eyes, until the leader of the claws took off his mask, revealing a face that was seven or eight points similar to Dick's appearance.

Thunder swept across Gotham in the night, illuminating the faces of Dick and his father, and at the same time, with the light of the thunder, the three of them also noticed the claws that silently surrounded them.

Returning to the city of Naxino, when Cowen learned that there were two other villains in his city who had been affected by the memories of the old universe, he also appeared at one of the homes for the first time, the man named Winshort . The dimensional wall appeared, and Cowen, who appeared in his home in the form of a virus spider in the form of a W-exclusive form, was also there to scan the decoration of the home of Mr. Winshort.

It was simple, there was no smell, and it was clean, and Curwen walked towards the only lit room in the room, which was a workshop, and the man named Winshort was sitting at the table, with his back to what Curwen was tinkering with, and in Curwen's field of vision. There are all kinds of toys on the shelves, including models from the Justice League series and Curwen's own look as a Kamen Rider, but these are all handmade, and Curwen can see traces on them.

"WinShort?" Looking at the man with his back to him, Ke Wen also asked tentatively.

WinShort, who was tinkering with something, paused, turned around, and looked at Cowen who appeared in his room with bloodshot eyes.

"Kamen Rider? You're here, he's right. ”

"He? Do you mean clowns? ”

"Joker, in my opinion, you're the Joker, Kamen Rider, you're trying to play the role of a savior and change the lives of each of us, tsk, I could have used my talents to be a bigger opponent for Superman to take seriously. But it's because of you, Superman is gone, my value can't be realized, I can only nest in the office, day after day as a programmer, suppressing my nature, now, feel my anger! ”

With Wen Short's response, the models placed on the shelves in the entire room also turned their heads in unison, stared at Kewen, their eyes glowed red, and flew towards Kewen.

"Boom!"

The light of the fire rises in the night sky of Nacino City, adding a bit of hustle and bustle to the city today.

And tonight, when agents and police join forces to purge the underground forces in Naxino, there are few pedestrians on the streets, and no one wants to fall victim to a shootout between the police and gangsters. And the clown that Ke Wen has been looking for walked down the street in such a grand manner, looking back at the fire rising in the distance, looking at the gangsters fleeing from time to time on the street, and the chasing police, enjoying it.

"Now, this is the stage I want, Kamen Rider~"
