17. The Villains Who Walk to the Cliff [16/100]
Gotham's day is over again, it should have been an ordinary day, but now it is not ordinary, and all the police in Gotham City are all out today, searching the docklands and the narrow island almost in a dragnet carpet from house to house.
Gordon didn't expect to find Cyber this way, but he had to make at least a gesture, and spreading the police force across the docklands would be a deterrent to the rest of the remaining gangsters.
Gordon didn't want to be motivated by the actions of those fools to do even crazier things, a person who was full of revenge and had enough strength to do revenge was terrible, Gordon, who had experienced the Narrow Island War in its entirety, knew better than anyone the threat that Cyber was to them.
Night had been the time of the big bats that roamed the skies, but after Batman had been alive for almost a week, the night had crept back into the hands of those who had dominated him.
"Bang"
The door to the room hidden behind the kitchen of the gangster's secret meeting was kicked open in a rage, and an angry Laudel rushed into the room with his heavily armed subordinates, only to find that he was the first to arrive, but also the last to arrive.
The whole room was empty, except for 7 modified TVs in the place of the former boss.
The screens on those TVs were used by the other people who were present in the house at this moment, the other seven bigwigs who ruled the Gotham underworld, but they didn't come.
They were scared.
"Bastards, sons!"
Lauder is also the leader of one of the only 8 remaining gangs in Gotham, he used to be the biggest pimp in the whole of Gotham, yes, this is a bit unacceptable, but the profits are considerable, and the risk is not as great as drug trafficking, although it will be ridiculed by others, they also have to admit that Laudel is also one of them.
But now, seeing this mockery, how could Lauder not know that he was sold by these bastards!
He turned around to leave, and what happened last night was like a poison that kept Lauder awake all night, especially when he saw the bodies of the four of them hanging in the docks this morning, which almost scared Laudel, who was less than 37 years old and in the prime of life.
For the first time in his life, he lost his pursuit of power, and now he just wanted to find a safe place to hide, instead of wandering around the streets like a fool.
At this time, no one in the whole Gotham doesn't know that the gangsters calculated the Devil's Gang, but it led to the terrifying existence of the Red Devil behind the Devil's Gang, the guy who many people thought was just an urban weird talk, really appeared last night, and took those outlaws under Kevin, and raided the four gangs in one go.
Killing nearly 200 people is a river of blood, and it is foreseeable that in the next half a month, this incident will become the hottest street secret in the whole Gotham, and even overwhelmed the lace news that Bruce Wayne, the son of Gotham, took the beauties of the visiting Moscow Dance Troupe on a private trip 5 days ago.
"Hey, dude Lauder, don't you want to hear about the plan we discussed?"
Wooltz's voice came from the telegraph signal, and the reason why Laudel had ventured here today was because Woolz had sent him a message, and the guy who had caused all the trouble claimed that they had found a way to deal with the Red Devil, but that everyone needed to get together and discuss it.
For Laudel, who was almost scared to death, this was undoubtedly a rain that nourished his fearful heart, but after realizing that he had been tricked, he wanted to leave immediately, but Woolz's words made him unbearable.
This move was immediately noticed by the 7 bigwigs who could see the situation here through the TV, and Maloney, who didn't know where to hide, also spoke, and said softly,
"It's our fault that we didn't inform you of the evacuation together, but isn't the tragedy of Laudel, Maxmosi, Old Tim, Alfonso, and Paris enough to wake us up?
"Batman will just beat us up and make us lose face, but this guy"
There was a sense of frustration in Woolz's voice, "This guy has no mercy in killing people, we must join forces, brother Lauder, or sooner or later we will be like rats hiding in the crypt, caught and killed one by one."
"You still have the face to say!"
Another voice came from another television, like an old man, and he angrily scolded, "Woolz, you idiot, if you hadn't brought in that damn madman clown, how would we have ended up here?"
"Old dog Todd, what are you talking about this son of a bitch?"
Woolz immediately sneered, "Don't say that you seem to be an innocent virgin, you are also acquiescing in the plan to punish Kevin and the Devil Gang, hell, now that things are falling apart, you just push me out of the top tank, do you think that red devil will listen to your quibbles?"
The voice calmed down all the naysayers, yes, they could have thought of it, the cunning Paris and old Tim couldn't have imagined it, but they were still dead The red madman didn't care who was the mastermind.
"Bang"
"What time is it, look around you, there are only 8 of us left out of 12 people, MTM at night, hell, 200 people died in one night, the next one may be me, or it may be you dogs, what are you arguing about?"
Maloney, who has always been mild-mannered, also had a rare outburst at this time, he waved his hands wildly in the TV, the bloodshot in his eyes represented his pressure at this time, almost no one knew that one of his secret properties was also blown up last night, if it wasn't for his temporary incident, I'm afraid he was the one hanging in the docks today.
The fear of death is always the most intense of all emotions, and under the manipulation of this most instinctive emotion, an irrational person tends to go to extremes, either to kill his opponent in the destruction provoked by fear, or to burn himself to death by the fire of fear that is ignited.
Not only him, but everyone present was probably under the same pressure, in just one day and one night, the original absolute advantage was broken by brute force, and they fell to the most dangerous moment in history, which couldn't help but worry them.
"He's just going to kill us all, that's enough! โ
With his hands on the table, Laudel took a few deep breaths and sat down in his chair, staring at Woolz's TV next to him with a gloomy look,
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
The rest of the TV was quiet, this time the rally was proposed by Woolz, and the others didn't show up because Maloney secretly prompted it, and it seemed that only Laudel had not received the warning, and it was not known if Maloney was negligent, or if it was a conspiracy in itself.
But no one broke that, and don't expect the gangsters to unite against the outside enemy, unless Cyber puts a knife to their necks, these guys can't be quiet at all.
"Okay, okay, I said. โ
Woolz raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender, he lit a cigar, and it could be seen that this guy was also very nervous at this time, he always couldn't help but look left and right when he spoke, and he didn't feel that he was in a safe place, and his trademark big back was also scattered at this time, and it didn't seem to be bothered to take care of it.
This is also true, after all, the opponent's knife has been unsheathed, and the thin life is the most important thing, who cares about these things that are not important at all?
He kept his voice to the bottom, like a child whispering,
"The Red Devil is the back hand of the Devil Gang, this time it was our intelligence mistake, we didn't prepare in advance, Kevin's bastard is actually playing the arms business, which is beyond our imagination, but don't worry, everyone! I have secretly inquired about the news, they were also miserable last night, Kevin's people are less than 30 people left, and they have left Gotham this morning!"
Woolz smirked, he flicked his fingers,
"Don't ask me where my news came from, in short, I can guarantee that the only one who is still in the city is the red devil, he is weak, and we have a numerical advantage!"
"What's the use of all this?"
Lauder looked nervously left and right, he always felt that something was wrong in this house, but hearing the news of Woolz also lifted his spirits for a moment, if it was only the red devil alone, he didn't have to worry too much.
It was just one person after all, but he still subconsciously retorted,
"Batman is also a man, and I haven't seen you and your incompetent men kill him. โ
"Batman, we'll talk about that later"
Woolz was surprisingly generous today, and he didn't care about Laudel's ridicule, but put the cigar in his hand aside, squinted his eyes and said,
"We all know what the red devil wants, so I'm going to set a trap, this time to find you, it's for this plan, we will plant a huge amount of explosives in a closed place, and then find a bait to spread the news, once the red devil is fooled hehe. โ
Woolz's voice became extremely cold, and even through the television and I don't know how far away, I could feel the chill in his words.
"I don't believe that a man can withstand the explosion of half a ton of explosives, and I tell you that it is foolproof, because I originally planned to use it on Batman, and now I will give this "good meal" to the red devil, and I hope he can enjoy it!"
The others didn't speak, and Lauder frowned as he thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the table,
"Sounds good, but who are you looking for as bait?"
"Hey, hey"
Woolz picked up his cigar again, "Don't worry, Dude Lauder, the bait is already in place!"
"What?"
Laudel jerked his head up, and then saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him from the TV, and Maloney's gentle, nonchalant voice,
"Have fun with the Red Devil, my brother Lauder. โ
"We will not forget what you have done for us! I swear in the name of the Falconi family, I hope you will survive. โ
"Bang"
All the TV screens dimmed at this moment, Laudel's face changed greatly, he grabbed the pistol with both hands, turned around and rushed out towards the door, only 2 seconds, his left hand pressed on the handle of the door, but the next moment, the smile on his face had not faded, and the bodies of the two little brothers standing guard outside smashed head-on on the door.
The force of the rebound threw Laudel's whole body away, he fell to the ground in embarrassment, looked up, and saw the guy in dark red armor with a distorted ghost face striding in, he was holding a black straight-edged knife in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand, and his whole body was full of murderous energy.
"No !!"
Lauder's desperate voice sounded in the empty house, Cyber's eyes froze for a moment, he saw the despair in Laudel's eyes and his trembling hands, and the strange few televisions on the table, at this moment, a sensation like electricity suddenly jumped out of his heart, and instantly spread throughout his entire body, at this moment, his body was not even under his control.
Turn around, the heat bursts, and rushes forward.
"Boom"
Bright light, red, scorching storms of destruction, and earth-shattering loud noises shattered Gotham's newly-quiet night once again.
On the ground not far from this place, a vehicle that was all black and speeding like an armored car suddenly stopped in place, and the figure of Batman, who had just returned to Gotham, sprang out of it, and he quickly jumped onto the rooftop with the help of a flying fall, the night wind blew his cloak up, and he stared at the place where the explosion occurred, and a trace of gloom flashed across his face.
"Cyber"
