Chapter 402: Unknown Black Hand!
"Zakang - Chop off all the hands of heaven and hell that reach into the world, and it takes 15,000 universal points to open it"
Looking at the display of Zakang's wish in the Wish Journey, Raymond was keenly aware of the change in this wish mission.
At his level, even if it is impossible to remember everything, as long as you pay attention to the things you have seen, it is basically impossible to forget, such as the opening fee of Zakang's wish.
If memory serves, the original opening cost of Za Kang's wish was 8,000 universal points, but now it has nearly doubled.
It was the first time he had noticed such a situation.
Because except for Zakang's wish, the opening fee required for other people's wishes has not changed.
Even if it is the little old man Jiro's wish task, the opening cost is more than twice as high as that of Zakang, but it has not changed.
Only he has changed.
That's intriguing.
After a little thought, Raymond guessed some possibilities: "Is it because the last time he fulfilled the wish of Death Shot, it caused some butterfly effects to that world, so it increased the difficulty......"
This is the most plausible explanation that Raymond can think of.
Since Raymond first came to the DC world at that node, his connection to the DC world should have been fixed in the future, just like when he completed the Akainu's wish mission, Yellow Ape and Chloe also replaced the original them in that world.
Therefore, if Raymond wants to complete Zakang's wish mission, then the world that will come to him is very likely to be the same as last time.
"Well, I didn't seem to do anything last time, so I threatened an owl court, pit a clown, and by the way, solved the trouble of seducing witches...... Seems like that's all, right? β
Raymond rubbed his chin as he remembered what he had done last time, and for a moment he couldn't figure out where the change came from.
He always felt as if he had forgotten something, but for a moment he couldn't remember what it was, so he had to give up.
"Fifteen thousand is fifteen thousand, just make an extra sum, and then go back and solve Jiro's wish task, you can make a few more gold levels at one time, perfect!" Raymond made up his mind.
Now he actually has a lot of money in his hands, and after killing Malekis last time, he has already swiped a wave of generic points.
As a Heavenly Father, even if he is injured, it should not be something that Raymond can deal with now.
He crosses the level to kill monsters, and the reward will naturally not be less.
In addition, he met several Heavenly Fathers at one time in Warnerheim and Asgard, as well as Heimdall and other well-known figures, and also gained a lot of common points.
All of them add up, and he now has more than 20,000 universal points, which is enough for him to open two more [Gold-Character Cards].
However, since he found out that he could upgrade the existing sub-personality, he didn't plan to continue to open new character cards for the time being, and he actually preferred directional development to unknown luck.
In addition, he doesn't plan to save up for the time being, because he can't bear it now.
A Frieza, he was already very reluctant, and this was when he had been improving rapidly during this time.
Referring to the gap between the gold level and the silver level sub-personality, the increase in the platinum level is only afraid that it will be more terrifying, even if he opens a Heavenly Father-level, or even a platinum sub-personality higher than the Heavenly Father-level, it is estimated that it can only be placed there as a mascot in a short period of time, which is meaningless.
He is a pragmatist, and what is useless, no matter how tempting, is not as precious to him as what is useful.
If it weren't for the fact that he still needed generic points to open the Wish Quest, he would have upgraded the two Silver Vices to Gold Vices by now, and he wouldn't waste time at all.
"Just take this opportunity to make these guys who don't stop making waves, hey......" Raymond's heart moved.
Completing the Wish Quest is not just a matter of earning generic points, it is also a form of exercise.
The reason why he tried his best to provide space for the sub-personalities to move on their own in the main world was naturally not because he was too idle.
In fact, maintaining a multiple shadow clone for a long time is also a kind of cultivation in itself, and the multiple shadow clones he uses 'qi' to urge are far better than the original in terms of characteristics and cultivation effects.
In addition, whether these shadow clones are engaged in research, self-cultivation, or fighting with others, their final experience and experience will be fed back to him, so that he can continue to improve.
This is also the reason why he obviously did not bury his head in penance, nor did he fight and train with others all day, and he still continued to improve rapidly.
However, there are still too many restrictions in the main world, and he doesn't want to cause some unnecessary trouble because he is too eye-catching, so he still has some restrictions on these sub-personality clones.
In this way, there are naturally a lot of opportunities.
The world of wishes is different, even if you get into trouble, as long as you complete the task, you can pat your ass and leave.
In addition, there is still a wish that the world will not die, at most the premise that the mission will fail, and there are many less scruples invisibly.
Therefore, for Raymond, every wish journey, in addition to earning universal points, will also be a leap.
In addition, the deputy personality clone is not afraid of death, as long as his main personality is not killed, he can be resurrected infinitely.
Where can I find such a good opportunity?
"System, activate Konstantin's wish mission." Raymond meditated to the system in his mind.
"Activating ......"
*********
"It's been three years, our power has been shrinking step by step, a third of the core members have died, and we haven't even found out the origin of the other party, what kind of Gotham underground king are we?" A man in an owl mask cursed angrily.
"What's the use of what you say, how many means have we used in the past three years, but every time it has been unsuccessful, the people sent out have either been killed or mutinied, who would like this feeling of powerlessness?" Another owl-masked man said in a deep voice.
"Who's against us, Fxxk!"
β¦β¦
There was a lot of noise in the conference room, and all the big people who usually held shelves and looked like them were all like bargaining aunts in the vegetable market at this moment, and the quarrel was endless.
When their own interests and even their lives are threatened, they are no different from the wet market aunts.
"Alright, shut up!"
An owl-masked man who knew the older one was listening to the voice slapped the table, and finally stopped the dispute for the time being.
If Raymond were here, he would have recognized that this old owl-masked man was Moses, one of the real speakers of the Owl Court, who had negotiated his terms last time, and had a very high status.
Now the core of the Owl Court has been reduced by one-third, and even a man of Moses' stature has died.
At this time, his voice is undoubtedly greater.
"Amanda seems to have noticed a little bit over there, listen to her." Moses looked in the direction of the black woman not far away.
She was also one of the few core members present who did not wear an owl mask, which was originally just a personal preference, but in fact they both knew each other's identities.
The reason why the owl mask is worn is simply because most of the members find it more compelling.
Amanda is also an old acquaintance of Raymond.
The convener of the Suicide Squad, the head of the Gotham branch of Skyeye, and one of the core members of the Owl Court.
"My people have detected traces of the witch, and there are several incidents that may be related to her." Amanda muttered.
"So our enemy is the Witch of Seduction?" A muscly man in an owl mask asked.
"No, she's not that good yet." Amanda shook her head calmly and said, "She has been controlled by me, and I have fought against her, her strength is indeed not simple, ordinary people have no power to resist in front of her, but that's all."
Gotham has so many troublemakers that she wouldn't even be in the top 10 if you ranked them, and I don't think she has what it takes to cause all of this today. β
"Do you mean she surrendered to an even more terrible troublemaker?" Moses' voice sounded a little heavy.
Amanda did not answer his question directly, but replied non-asking: "I asked people to sort out all the malignant events that may be related to the other party in the past three years, and after big data screening and exclusion, I got a very strange result......"
Moses knew that Amanda would definitely not mention this for no reason, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the result?" β
Amanda: "Gotham is divided into five districts according to administrative regions, and if you subdivide them, you can divide them into one hundred and forty-two blocks, but there are only seventeen blocks that have not had any bad incidents from beginning to end, and twelve of them are very remote, so remote that there are basically no people to go.
The other five blocks are next to each other, forming a small 'absolutely safe' area, do you think that's normal? β
"You're saying there's a good chance that the man behind it is in these five blocks?!" The man in the big owl mask before was excited.
If this can really be confirmed, they will not even hesitate to let the missiles wash the ground, sacrifice all the inhabitants of that area, and make the person behind the scenes pay a terrible price!
It's a big deal to push it to a terrorist organization afterwards, anyway, it's not like I haven't done it before, it's not a big deal.
Gotham is their territory, and they don't allow anyone to beep like this, so bullish that even they can only be beaten passively!
Even if it takes a lot of life to do it, it will not hesitate!
However, Amanda shook her head and said: "I thought so at first, so I sent a super team seconded from the headquarters to try to search for each other's existence in these five blocks, but unfortunately, in the end, I still found nothing and failed to find any clues." β
Moses asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure those people are reliable?" Could it be that they are incompetent, so they didn't find it. β
Amanda shook her head and said: "No, they are trustworthy, in the field of superpower, the background of the Heavenly Eye is not comparable to us, if the people they sent can't find clues, then they are really looking in the wrong direction, you know, some of them have the ability to be similar to the directional prophecy ability of divination."
After several confirmations, they came to the conclusion that there was nothing behind the five neighborhoods. β
The owl-masked man, who was the first to complain, was a little impatient when he heard this: "Since you haven't found the other party, why do you say it, do you think we don't have enough headaches now?" β
Amanda glanced at him indifferently and said, "If you can't help the waste, don't interject, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" β
βShitοΌ Who do you say is the rubbish?! β
"Enough! Madrid! Moses slammed the table and said angrily, "If you have an idea, take it out, if you don't have an idea, shut up for me, and then talk nonsense, I'll kill you now!" β
Seeing that Moses, the big man, was angry, the owl-masked man named Madrid was suddenly stunned, and he didn't even dare to say a cruel word, but just glanced at Amanda hatefully and sat down.
But Amanda didn't pay attention to him at all, and just continued lightly: "Although they didn't find the mastermind behind it, they brought me another surprise, because they seemed to have found the root cause of no vicious incidents in these five neighborhoods......
"What's it!" Moses urged.
"Because these five blocks are the daily activities of a young girl named Zoe, including her daily life of going to school, going home, visiting the door, and so on, all in these five blocks."
"Zoe? A teenage girl? Most of the members of the Owl Court looked at each other when they heard this.
Because they didn't know who this Zoe was, and they didn't understand why it could have something to do with a young girl.
Only a few seemed to remember something.
Moses, in particular, stood up even more "rubbingly" and asked urgently, "Which Zoe?" That five years ago? β
"Not bad." Amanda nodded.
"Can you please stop talking like a riddle, what Zoe from five years ago?" An owl-masked man complained.
"Others don't remember, you shouldn't remember, Gilbert, you were the protagonist of a ...... five years ago," said the stout owl-masked man who had spoken to Amanda before.
"Me? Protagonist? The owl-masked man known as Gilbert paused for a moment.
But soon, he remembered something and was shaken!
Because he finally remembered what the stout owl-masked man was talking about, and if I remember correctly, he seemed to have been a humanoid walkie once, and someone had borrowed his body.
Although he had no impression of it afterwards, he learned from the other core members what had happened during that time.
This incident brought him a lot of psychological shadows, and immediately afterwards he also customized a pair of glasses that could prevent mental abilities.
In those few nights, he dreamed that his body was manipulated, and some very unpleasant stories happened.
It wasn't until he found a psychiatrist that he finally forgot about it, but he didn't expect it to be brought up again.
"I remember, that Zoe, is that the daughter of the Death Shooter who disappeared five years ago?" Gilbert was shocked.
"Not bad." Amanda confirmed his claims.
"So, the man behind that is the Death Shooter, or the mysterious organization that claims to be leaving Gotham?" Moses said with a gloomy face.
"It's impossible to know for sure for the time being, but it can't be ruled out." Amanda said.
"Damn! Are they trying to break their word? Moses was like an angry lion, panting for breath.
Before those people left five years ago, they clearly promised not to compete with them for Gotham's territory, so they did their best to help publicize the record of the Death Shooter, and put him on the throne of Gotham's savior, and even surpassed Batman for a while.
Suddenly hearing that those people might come back, Moses suddenly had a feeling that he had been tricked!
"Whether it's them or not, we have to be prepared, even if it's really them, we have to make them understand that the Owl Court is not an object to be played with at will!"
Moses finally made the final decision and made some decisions.
Next, of course, we discussed how to deal with this situation and prepare for the worst.
Even if they knew that the other party might be an extremely terrifying super-powered organization, they would definitely not bow their heads easily!
In Gotham, they are the uncrowned kings!
