At dawn, when the sun has just turned to this side of the earth, it is time for people to get up and welcome the new day.

On the watchtower, Eric had just finished his all-night shift and was leaving the control tower for his room. His phone rang at this time, and when he picked it up, it was Raven.

"Good morning." She wrote.

Eric smiled and replied to her, "I just got on duty, I'll go down to look for you after breakfast." ”

"Are you alright? Do you need to take a break? ”

"No, I'm in good spirits." Eric, too, is also true, with his current condition, he doesn't need much sleep anymore, and he barely feels tired after a week of continuous work. In a way, it may be a good thing, it means he has more time to do more, but it also means that he is becoming less and less human.

Both of them knew about it, but they avoided the topic. Raven quickly replied, "Alright, I'll wait for you at Georgie's Restaurant." ”

"It's coming soon."

By this time Eric had returned to his room, and the line was typed in the box, and he had paused before he could press send. He was stunned for a moment, then silently deleted the line and wrote, "Wait a minute, I seem to have something to deal with first." ”

Raven quickly replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you, no hurry. ”

Eric put away his phone and looked up, only to see a man in a two-color mask and tight armor who had been waiting here for a long time, and it was a death knell.

Eric raised an eyebrow, "Slade? Long time no see. ”

Deathbell turned his head and said in a deep voice, "I don't want to see you again if I could, little ghost." Every time something gets tangled up in you, it's not good. ”

"Each other, each other." "I'm not going to ring the alarm for Ruth's sake, but I still want to know—out of pure curiosity—how did you get in?" You know you're on the Justice League watchtower, right? ”

"I have my own way." Deathstroke didn't want to explain too much, just straight to the point, "Ruth came to you recently, didn't she?" ”

"Not bad." "But does it have anything to do with you?" Because according to her, you have long since ignored your family members. ”

Deathbell said coldly: "That's my fault, I really can't control what Ruth wants to do now, but if someone wants to use my daughter as a gun...... Not only do I have to do it, but you probably won't want to know my methods. ”

"Wait," Eric frowned, "how do I make that mean?" ”

"You've taken a fancy to Ruth's influence in circles you haven't touched, and she's willing to be your spy and do the dirty work for you." Deathbell said coldly, "And now that her life and death are uncertain, you are still only planning breakfast with your little girlfriend?" Is that all she says to you? A pawn that can be discarded at any time? ”

"When am I ...... Wait, you say Ruth's life and death are uncertain? Eric's surprise said, "What does that mean?" ”

"Don't you really know?" "Ruth has been investigating the disappearance for you all these days, and now she's lost contact with her since she went to investigate a clue last night. An old friend of hers just called me last night to inform me of this. ”

Eric paced from side to side, frowning. He had been in contact with Ruth a lot these days, and he knew that Ruth had always been very concerned about the favors he owed, and it did sound reasonable if she wanted to do something for him because of this. Just as he was thinking about it, Knell said gloomily: "If something happens to Ruth, it's all your fault!" In case she has any three long and two short, I will ......"

Eric gave him a blank look and said, "Save it, you and I both know that you can't do anything to me now." But what you said is right, if Ruth does have any accidents, it is indeed my responsibility. I'll go back to her, but remember it's not for you, just because she's a very important friend of mine, understand? ”

Knell has long been accustomed to being arrogant on weekdays, how can I bear it when I see this little ghost with such an arrogant attitude? But as soon as he took a step, he thought that saving his daughter's life should be the most important thing at this time, so he still swallowed his breath and stopped fighting him.

"Is there any basis for your statement that her old friend told you that she might be in danger?" Eric asked, "You know Ruth isn't a fuel-efficient lamp either, and most people can't help her." Even if she can't defeat some of the most dangerous organizations in the world, she can at least save her life with the ability of Beta armor. ”

"I don't know exactly what happened, but it seems that she chased to a certain stronghold of the COP organization." "Even I've heard that COP is dealing with some extremely dangerous people, and it's rumored in the industry that they're working with demons from outside this world, with terrifying abilities that can cover the sky with one hand. I'm not a fan of these kinds of rumors, but experience has taught me that they are usually not unfounded. ”

"COP......" Eric thought for a moment and asked, "What about the location?" Did he tell you where Ruth ended up? ”

"I went to check it out before dawn." "It's an abandoned warehouse outside of Boston, but it's in ruins, and I don't think I'll leave a trace." ”

Eric thought for a moment and said, "Okay, show me the way, I'll go see it myself." ”

"I said there was nothing left of that piece." Knell said displeased, "Or do you think you have what it takes to spot something that I haven't been able to notice?" ”

Eric squinted at him and said, "You may have a keen eye, but as far as I know, you can't see underground. Also, I can sense the reaction of the sub-Mordron virus, and maybe I can track down the location of the Beta armor, or maybe you've tried this trick too? ”

Deathbell was dumbfounded, snorted and fell silent, but had acquiesced to his arrangement.

Eric reached out for his phone again, editing a message to Raven, "I'm so sorry, it's an emergency, I have to go. ”

After only two or three seconds, Raven replied, "It's okay, go ahead, be careful all the way." ”

Eric's heart warmed, put his phone away, and set off with the death knell.

The two of them left the watchtower and teleported directly to the outskirts of Boston, where they found the abandoned warehouse where Ruth had been the night before. As Death Knell said, the entire building had been torn down, and the two of them were left in ruins. A deep layer of marks on the ground wraps around the debris of the collapsed building like a ring, and its significance is unknown.

Eric looked around the building and asked, "Did you notice the dent?" ”

"See." "Maybe it's just the aftermath of the blast?" ”

Eric shook his head, but didn't answer. He observed for a while, suddenly put on his armor and rose into the air, flew straight to a height of more than 20 meters before stopping, looking down, his expression couldn't help but become more and more solemn.

After a few moments, he fell back to the ground, and Knell asked, "What, what did you find?" ”

"It's a mark, an 'omega' mark." Eric dignified.

"Does that mean anything special?"

"That means the planet may be in trouble again."
