Chapter 9

Gotham City, a city where thick clouds float in the sky at night and serve as a backdrop for searchlights.

Obviously located in the sunny and pleasant climate of New Jersey, Gotham City resembles an ancient city in southern Europe in terms of climate and urban architecture.

This may be due to the fact that the city government has wasted a lot of money on landscaping projects, and the Gothic-style gargoyles are so ugly that they can frighten passers-by at night.

From a distance, the city looks like a nobelisk of a classical church, and at night the city is not only covered by thick clouds, but there is always a light mist between the buildings, and the whole city looks like a neon-lit necropolis.

The nightlife of the citizens of Gotham is like jumping on the grave, tense, exciting, noisy, and a little scary and terrifying.

Gotham City is the only city in the Hope Country with a high percentage of whites in the population — the city's gang leaders and criminals are overwhelmingly white, black people are rare, but the crime rate is several times higher than that of the black community.

This is still a great achievement achieved under the premise that there is an evil nemesis and a night knight in the city who "can do anything, never make mistakes, and never rest".

It is quite difficult for whites to beat blacks in crime rate, but the people of Gotham have done it, or in the case of the city's relatively prosperous economic situation, so they have won the praise of the people's simple customs, which means that the citizens of Gotham are as simple as the black uncle on the African savannah, and the quality is called an elegant and easy-going.

Therefore, in Damian's view, this wave of people is really not good, send some severance pay to immigrate the citizens who are still saved, and there is no need to deal with the rest at all, even if you give up Gotham like giving up Detroit, and let these garbage whites rot together with Gotham, it seems that there is nothing to regret.

There are many similar fallen cities in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, and there is no righteous hero who has made it his life's belief to punish adultery and eliminate evil, and God's attitude towards such fallen cities is the same as the destruction of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, evacuating a few good people and then slaughtering the cities.

Superman has also said that Gotham City, like Batman, is terminally ill and completely hopeless.

How can Batman think that he can be more powerful than God and Superman, and that he can save Gotham as long as he works hard to suffer and shed a little blood?

But after all, Gotham City hides a lot of secrets, and many times there will be a strange situation of "the DC universe is chaotic, and Gotham has the final say".

Whether Batman is because of his belief in justice, or because Gotham has a hidden metaphysical reason that must be guarded, Damian who only collects Gotham's information through online investigation is uncertain.

People with strong beliefs are worthy of respect, but whether they are worth emulating and learning from depends on the specific situation, and until he finds out how deep the water is in Gotham City, Damian can only maintain a respectful attitude towards his cheap dad.

……

At night, a loud explosion woke up a middle-aged man with a mustache, he quickly grabbed the glasses on the bedside table and put them on, did not rush to turn on the light, ran to the window and slightly opened the curtain to peek out.

That man was the chief of the Gotham Police Department, James Gordon.

Long before Damian was born, James Gordon had served as the chief of the Gotham police department during the Dark Knight incident, and now twelve years have passed, with the close cooperation between him and Batman, the security of Gotham City has been greatly improved, and many gang leaders and supervillains have been sent to Arkham Asylum by Batman.

In the past two years, Director Gordon has also had the occasional opportunity to go home and get a good night's sleep without having to crouch on the roof every night and fiddle with searchlights.

Occasionally, Director Gordon would laugh at himself, saying that he was not the director, but the lampmaster.

Looking out the window, Director Gordon's heart chuckled!

He saw ninjas in black tights hiding in the shadows, the ninjas had quietly surrounded the apartment where he lived, and the patrol car of the police he had arranged to keep watch downstairs to protect him had just exploded.

Ninjas of the League of Assassins?

Director Gordon immediately recognized the identity of the attacker, in the incident twelve years ago, the ninjas of the League of Assassins also appeared in Gotham, these foreign dragons are much more terrifying than the land snakes in the city!

Every time a ninja appears in Gotham City, it means that an earth-shattering crime is about to happen.

Director Gordon hurriedly took out the pistol from under his pillow and loaded it neatly, thinking about how to break out of the encirclement and not be captured by these ill-intentioned ninjas.

Chief Gordon is the leader of the Gotham City police, once he becomes a prisoner, the entire city's police system will fall into command chaos, and at the same time, it will also cut off the connection between the police and Batman.

Despite his age, Director Gordon is in good health and has had good martial arts training with the help of Batman.

He was confident that he would be able to defeat the ninjas of the Assassin League in a one-on-one or even one-on-two situation, and as long as he was strategized properly and did not alarm most of the attackers, he could quietly retreat.

Being able to defeat ninjas one-on-one or one-on-two gives the impression that Director Gordon is a bit of a weakling, but in fact Gordon can single-handedly take on a dozen gang thugs.

The ninjas of the League of Assassins are elite assassins who have worked hard, and each of them is proficient in one or two fighting skills, which is not at all the same level as the fighting power of the gang members in the city.

Creeping to the corner of the room, Gordon gently pushed open a secret door, he had been blocked in the house many times and beaten badly, he was also a long-term illness, and arranged a retreat passage for himself.

As soon as he got into the secret door, he was pressed against the cold barrel of the gun on his forehead, and Gordon chuckled in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw a strong man wearing a yin and yang mask in the shadows hiding behind the secret door, waiting for him to take the bait.

"Knell?" The person who came was also an acquaintance of Director Gordon, and he was stunned: "What are you doing in Gotham?" ”

"Relax, Director Gordon." Deathbell said in a deep voice: "As long as you cooperate obediently, I can guarantee that you will not be harmed, and Gotham City will not be destroyed......"

"Don't you think ......"

How could Director Gordon believe that this notorious mercenary leader, where this guy appears, will always set off a bloody storm, and this time he came to Gotham, he must have planned some terrible grand conspiracy.

Fearless of the muzzle on his forehead, Director Gordon tried to fight back, but before he could punch, he was hit in the lower abdomen by Deathbell's punch and collapsed to the ground holding his stomach.

Soon after, lights cast a shadow of a bat on the clouds that had been around for thousands of years in the night sky of Gotham City.

On the roof below, Director Gordon was tied to a searchlight, and Deathstroke stood on the edge of the building with his arms crossed, waiting for the incoming guests.

At the same time, on the outskirts of the city.

The towering steel gates of the Arkham Asylum slowly rose, and Warden Quincy waited at the gates with heavily armed prison guards, also waiting for another guest who was about to visit.
