Chapter 524: A Fitting Name
"Not a legend."
Bai Ye said, "The appearance of this clown proves that in this world, this Gotham, the Owl Court, really exists. β
"Not only that, but it's much deeper than I know."
"It's a dangerous enemy, Batman."
"Owl Court, real?"
Batman looked at the Joker, "After the Joker died, they created another Joker?" β
"Yes."
Bai Ye said, "That's what I thought. β
"Reason, and, how did you create the Joker?" Batman asked.
"Everything is based on my speculation."
Bai Ye said, "Considering the process of deriving from the results, first of all, let's make sure that the Owl Court is real. β
"Then, let's set up the Owl Court to be very well hidden, and the power is far greater and more dangerous than we thought."
"Their goal is to secretly control Gotham City forever."
"Then, everything is set up."
"A powerful organization that hides, and through their huge power, they have gotten the blood of the clown - it's not difficult, is it? After the death of the Joker, he used it to create a new Joker, and made a certain 'strengthening' for him, so that at the right time, this chess piece, which he didn't even know about, descended on Gotham. β
Bai Ye paused and glanced sympathetically at the "clown" on the ground, "Ugly, Abba is very disappointed in you, if you follow this line of thought, you will not only be forced to lower, but also become an ignorant pawn, tsk, it's really miserable." β
The clown's mouth flicked slightly.
It should be scolding the white night.
Although it is true that this clown disappointed Hakuya, there is one thing that maintains a certain force.
He will not be afraid, he will not beg for mercy because he has been studied.
Too energetic clown, so Agnus cuts the clown's nerves and leaves the props inside.
Even if the clown is amazingly resilient, he can only be a paralyzed patient who can't control his body until the prop that blocks the link of spiritual regrowth is removed.
"Guess? If it's a chess piece, it will always leave a clue of 'control', haven't you noticed? "Batman needs further evidence.
He's not like White Night, who thinks wildly.
Once you've decided on the direction, you'll be able to get past it.
That's a reckless man, and it doesn't matter if the white night is wrong.
Batman can't be wrong, he often does the job of saving hostages, and if he gets it wrong, his life is gone.
"No clues."
Bai Ye said, "Only the lack and ambiguity of memory, as well as the immortal body, can barely be regarded as a clue and a basis for judgment." β
"It's not enough." Batman said, "As a chess piece, there is no backhand left, how can you control it?" β
"I don't think the Owl Court intends to take control of this clown."
White Night came up with his own idea, "They just need the Joker to restore the balance in Gotham City." β
"Balance?"
"Yes."
"Haven't you noticed that the balance in Gotham City is gradually being broken, and the city is beginning to become beautiful, and the dark corners that breed evil are far less than they were at the beginning. β
Gotham City, or the famous criminals who frequented Gotham City, were poached by the White Night.
There are also Guns of Kindness, some merchandise that circulates to Gotham in partnership with the Wayne Group.
All of them let Gotham try to slowly climb out of the abyss of Vice City.
It won't be a short-lived process, but it's a visible and visible change.
"Gotham, it needs the Joker, to restore it to its former appearance, crime, madness, opportunity, money, the darkness that haunts the bones, this is the Owl Court, the Gotham they want."
Bai Ye said.
To put it bluntly, the Joker, as the spokesperson for the evil side of Gotham City, is indispensable.
"The Gotham they want?" Batman said, "Who are they?" β
"What do you say?"
Bai Ye said with a smile, "The famous families of Gotham, they are involved in the white of Gotham, and they also maintain the black of Gotham, and the balance between the two is Gotham, and it is the foundation of the survival of those famous families." β
"Any imbalance is not allowed by them."
"Famous?" Batman said, "You mean that the upper echelons of Gotham, the celebrities, the nobles, are the Owl Court?" β
Of course, Batman understands what White Night is going to say, but there are some guesses, and he still wants to say it from others.
Even Batman sometimes needs to adjust psychologically and avoid some questions a little.
"No, I mean, the Owl Court is Gotham." Bai Ye said with a smile.
"Bruce, let's look back, or speculate, on an interesting piece of 'history.'" Bai Ye said, "Do you mind? β
"No, you say."
Batman said.
The two of them dropped the clown on the ground and walked to the side and sat down.
Now, the clown has become an insignificant person.
If Bai Ye's speculation is true, he is just a pawn.
Although uncontrolled, it will even develop into a real clown one day in the future.
But now, he "died before he got out of school" and met Bai Ye.
The dangerous young beast has been strangled in the cradle and has no possibility of growth.
"Once upon a time, there was such a group of people." "With black guns, white powder, and red blood, they carved out a city that belonged to them. β
"And when they become the masters here, the original methods of violence are not as appropriate as before."
"However, there is still a need."
"I see."
Batman said, with his IQ, he fully understood what White Night was trying to say.
The origins of Gotham, built on sin.
"Bruce, have you ever wondered why your parents died in the alley?" White Night suddenly asked, "You know, you are the prince of Gotham. β
"......" Batman closed his eyes and opened them again after a few seconds.
In a pack of omnivorous wolves, the head wolf decided that he would be a vegetarian forever, so the head wolf died.
The wolf cub went into exile, and when he returned, he became a bat macho.
"The Wayne Group does have some illegal activities." Batman does not hide White Night, "As early as my grandfather's time, it was suspended, and after my father took office, it was almost completely divided. β
"Yes, so the Wayne family, even the most powerful, is still a traitor in their eyes." Bai Ye said, "Your parents are dead. β
"If you hadn't had a good steward, maybe Wayne Businesses would have been eaten away and would no longer exist."
Alfred, who was pouring the tea, paused slightly, finished pouring the tea, and stepped back.
"Those people could be members of the Owl Court?" Batman gave a flurry of names.
He didn't dwell on the past, those bad scenes, he recalled too many times.
Now is not the time.
Batman is talking about Gotham's famous family, so to speak, their ancestors single-handedly created Gotham.
Their family is Gotham.
If you want to destroy them, then, you are destroying Gotham itself.
This time, the opponent is no longer at the level of simply fighting and finding evidence and throwing it outside the Gotham Police Station.
The "enemy" that Batman faces is not actually a person, nor is it a group of people.
It's something that's already been formed.
Rules and systems that belong to Gotham City.
Even the Wayne family itself was built and strengthened on this rule.
"Owl Court."
Bai Ye reached out and glued a little tea, and drew a crooked owl head on the tableβa low-child painting style.
"That's a fitting name."
