245.Order in Gotham City (End of Dungeon)
At the same time, there are people in Gotham City who are on pins and needles, and they are all in a hurry.
Court of the Owls, an organization that has been said to have existed secretly in Gotham City for nearly centuries, is made up of some of the wealthiest families in the city. Originally, it was an idealistic organization with the mission of "protecting Gotham from evil", but gradually, the organization took a turn for the worse. In order to achieve the goal of ruling Gotham City forever, it has exhausted all kinds of illegal means, such as murder, bribery, fraud, etc.
There is an owl court eyeliner in every corner of the city. Anyone who threatens it will be assassinated by the "Claw" assassins. For hundreds of years, many people in the city knew about this organization, but never actually saw it. There is only one nursery rhyme that has been passed down from generation to generation:
Beware of the court of owls, their eyes are everywhere
Take control of the city from a shadowy corner, hiding behind granite and lime
They are staring at you in the furnace, and they are staring at you while you are asleep
Don't tell them about them, or they'll send their claws to take your life
At a secret assembly house, a masked man slammed the table and yelled at another masked man standing in front of him: "Your intelligence shit is not as good!" How did Batman make such a big move? β
There was no answer, and the masked man on the other side kept wiping his sweat, but he didn't know how to answer.
Not long ago, he analyzed in his report: "The fear gas riot created by Scarecrow and Arkham Knight is an opportunity", predicting that these two geeks who are familiar with Batman's code of conduct will succeed. As soon as Batman falls, the Owl Court will immediately send Talon to assassinate Scarecrow and Arkham Knight.
They even have their hands ready. Deathstroke receives two orders, one of which is that Arkham Knight entrusts him with the assassination of Batman. The other is that the Owl Court commissioned him to assassinate the Arkham Knights.
This calculation is not outrageous. If Batman is still Bruce Wayne, the outcome is indeed unpredictable.
Now, however, all that seemingly incisive analysis has become a joke. Arkham Knight was frozen into an ice sculpture; The scarecrow's whereabouts are unknown; Deathstroke fought against Batman, was stabbed to death, and his body hung on the dock for several days without anyone collecting it. The big criminals they secretly negotiated: the Penguin, the Two-Face, the Riddler, the Freezer...... All the big coffees from all walks of life are on the ground.
"Can anyone explain where all those four-legged things came from? When did Batman come up with an unmanned army? Such a huge plan can be hidden from us. Are the agents in charge of the investigation blind? β
An agent in charge of the investigation cowered and did not dare to speak.
"We're in trouble, really big trouble," the angry Owl Chief continued, "Batman's power is too strong to have lost its balance. The situation is spiraling out of control and must be reversed and order must be restored! β
It is enough to defeat those criminals, and it is the sudden display of force strong enough to be called an army that makes the owls fearful. Those scythe mechs are terrifying. From a bird's-eye view, they were desperately effective at rounding up thugs. Outflanking the front and rear, three-dimensional attack, cold-blooded assault...... It is absolutely impossible for human armies to be their opponents.
Just then, a masked owl member hurriedly ran in.
The Owl Chief glanced at him: "Any news?" β
Smack, a gunshot rang out, and the head of the owl member who had just run in bloomed.
Taken aback, the owls who were in a meeting stood up one after another. That's when they noticed that Batman was standing in the doorway, blowing green smoke from the muzzle of a gun. The chief of the owl said in horror: "The rumors are true, you have really broken the precept of 'don't kill'!" β
Nan Xiao beckoned, several sickle mechs broke through the wall, and the heavy turntable machine gun began to fire unscrupulously.
Looking at the flesh-and-blood Shura Field, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "My lord, times have changed. β
Exterminate the Owl Court, and the gains are huge. These masked guests are all Gotham mega-rich, and they have robbed their homes one by one, and they have received more than two billion.
As a result, Gotham City reconstruction funds were immediately available.
Two billion dollars have been smashed, and the city has changed dramatically. Gun ban and drug control, compulsory compulsory education, milk money and education subsidies are paid regularly. Factories and technical schools were built, and addicts were immediately employed as soon as they walked out of drug rehabilitation centers. Their children also go to public schools, where their faces are washed clean, and the schools not only teach knowledge, but also serve lunches.
Thank God they no longer have to pick up the garbage of the rich to get by.
Gradually, the streets returned to their prosperity. Shops were opened, and the terrifying four-legged robot was gone.
Batman officially gave a farewell speech, announcing his retirement. "Gotham City doesn't need superheroes!" "The future of this city is in everyone's hands," he declared. You have all been through hardships and should know how to cherish what you have now. Protect it, with your hands, and protect Gotham City! β
The retirement speech was cheered by all the citizens of Gotham. Under the reverent gaze of countless people, the mysterious man in black spread his bat wings, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the blue sky.
Back on the Red Cossack moored at the docks in Gotham City, Nan Xiao frees Poison Ivy.
Poison Ivy couldn't believe it, thinking that it was going to be sliced, but she didn't expect "Batman" to really keep her promise.
"My words always count," Nan Xiao said, "you're free." β
"Why?" Poison ivy asked, "You killed so many people, why did you let me go alone?" β
Nan Xiao was a little surprised: "You actually know?" β
The Poison Ivy Girl smiled amoryly: "You underestimate plants too much...... Although I was imprisoned by you, there are a lot of plants on this ship. β
When you think about it, it's true. The secret room where the anti-drug vine girl was imprisoned was too dark and damp, and there was some moss growing in the corner.
Small P reports: "Tissue cells of poison ivy have been analyzed. Convinced that her abilities come from a mutated chlorophyte-like mitochondria. Relying on the hormones secreted by such mitochondria, she has the following abilities: 1. Sensing and controlling plant actions; 2. Ignore the influence of any virus, fungus or toxin; 3. Freely combine all kinds of biotoxins, which are hallucinent, chronically fatal, and immediately fatal. So far, 2,251 toxin combinations have been tested. β
Interestingly, this is indeed a valuable takeaway.
There was also a prisoner on board to be released, Bruce Wayne.
In his cell, there is a large-screen LCD color TV. Nan Xiao specially instructed Xiao P to arrange a real-time broadcast for him. He can see all the changes in Gotham City during this time.
When he opened the door and entered the house, Nan Xiao noticed that Bruce Wayne's expression was very melancholy.
"You actually let Batman retire," he said, "but it's okay, Gotham City probably doesn't really need Batman now." β
The current Gotham City has swept away the gloomy and heavy Gothic style of the previous and has become vibrant. The streets are clean and orderly, and there are no red lights for crossing the street. The crime rate is unbelievably low. There are street police stations everywhere. Occasionally, a few petty thefts were immediately extinguished. The policemen were bored patrolling the streets, and they were excited to meet someone who asked for directions.
The Batlights are being torn down, sirens are rarely sounding on the streets, and the name Batman is being forgotten.
"I've almost demolished the bat cave," Nan Xiao said, "but the batsuit you wore, the batmobile you drove, and so on, are all here, so I'll leave you a souvenir." β
"Commemorate ......," Bruce Wayne smiled wryly.
"Your butler should probably be back, too. I sent him a letter to tell him about Batman's retirement. I think he must have been looking forward to hearing this. β
"Thank you."
"Plus, I've hired a maid in your name. With such a big house, can an old housekeeper take care of it? It's better to hire a few more people. β
Bruce Wayne protested unhappily: "You shouldn't be too involved in my private life, it's rude." β
Nan Xiao took out a photo and handed it to Bruce Wayne: "Her name is Selina Kyle, I interviewed her, and she is very good." β
Staring at the picture, Bruce Wayne lost his mind slightly. "She's beautiful and has a ...... The temperament of a nocturnal creature, dark, deep and beautiful. β
"It's good if you're satisfied," Nan Xiao smiled and winked, "Well, goodbye, Batman." β
The next moment, he activated his time-traveling skill and returned to the timeline of the Overworld.
In the dead of night, the Overworld was at peace. It's still the community where my parents live, and it's still my own small room.
Nan Xiao got up from the bed and walked to the window.
A black cat crawled on the trellis outside the window and boldly stared at him.
In the next second, Nan Xiao suddenly transformed! From the inside out, dark black polymer elastic tights, honeycomb inner armor, MR flexible material fluid armor, super titanium alloy armor plates, appeared on him layer by layer. On his chest was a large silver bat, a mask that covered his entire face, and ice-blue goggles lit up.
The black cat was startled, screamed, and fell off the trellis.
