Just as Rhaegar and the others were feeling the misfortune of the Wayne family, Coulson followed Thomas Wayne and came down from the second floor. Judging by his expression, it seemed that his negotiations with Thomas Wayne did not have the effect he wanted.

Martha Wayne also noticed that her husband and Coulson were coming, and immediately got up to meet them, and asked Alfred, the old butler, who had been waiting by him, to prepare a new cup. As a result, Coulson refused.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Wayne. But don't bother, we're leaving. ”

Coulson's performance left Martha Wayne a little stunned. The latter looked at her husband and received a nod from him. So after another round of politeness, Rhaegar and the others passed by a number of police officers who came and went in a hurry, followed by Coulson, and came to the parking position.

"Coulson, what's wrong?" Skye asked.

Not only Skye, but most of the team members thought that Coulson had fallen out with Thomas Wayne or something. Otherwise, why did the person who had decided to protect old Wayne all the way suddenly change his mind?

"Oh, not what you think. I had no problem talking to Mr. Wayne, and neither was our departure, there were already regular agents on their way over, and they would take our place and protect the Wayne. Coulson explained slowly. It's something else. I won't be able to explain it for a while, but you'll understand when you get there. Now, get in the car. ”

The SUV departed from Wayne Manor, located in the northern suburbs of Gotham, headed west back onto the main road and headed south, quickly entering downtown Gotham. Along the way, Rhaega and the others can see the Gotham police, and the roads are clear, which is the effect of traffic control. It's just that at a crossroads, they thought they should continue south, because Coulson suddenly said "turn right ahead" and went west.

"Sir, aren't we going to the Gotham Hotel to prepare?" This time it was Rhaegar who asked.

"No, let's go somewhere else first." Coulson said with a calm face, "If that place is really what I thought it was, then the pressure we faced tonight would probably be much lighter." ”

This made Rhaegar and the others depressed. And Skye, who had no scruples, still spoke directly: "This sounds like a good thing, why do you have this expression?" ”

Coulson smiled bitterly and said, "You'll know when you get there." ”

Then, here it is.

It was a rather quirky building. The 'eccentric' here does not refer to its architectural style, but to the difference between the whole and the part. Inside are three buildings with a finished glyph layout, which are about twenty or thirty years old, and the main building in the middle is the tallest, with fourteen or fifteen floors. These three buildings, together with a large area of the square, are enclosed within a relatively new-looking wall, and you can see that there are many new and advanced equipment on the wall. On closer inspection, the 'newness' of the wall was not rebuilt by tearing down, but by strengthening on the original foundation. The contrast between the old and the new is a testament to the history of the building and the importance that the occupants attach to its security conditions.

That's not the point, though. The point is that now under the gate of that building, no, there are piles of corpses on both sides of the gate and inside the gate...... That's right, it's the corpse. Also, the words 'respectively' and 'a bunch' are not misused. And these two piles of corpses are really weird.

The pile located inside the gate is mainly reflected in the clothing of the corpses. Except for a few uniforms, which are more like prison uniforms, the others are all the same and distinctive. There are even more than just special costumes, but also special weapons or equipment. If nothing else, the bodies were snatched back from the place where their equipment had been stacked after they had been taken in while they were still alive.

By the way, these weapons and costumes give Rhaegar a hazy but indescribable familiarity.

As for the pile of corpses located outside the gate, their weirdness is reflected in their appearance. There is no pejorative meaning here, but ...... Here, a man's face is covered with blisters, and his body skin is full of wrinkles; The guy over there had a hedgehog head - a strictly hedgehog head, with no hair, but black spikes growing out of his scalp. In addition, if you walk a little further, you can see a gray-black arm covered with red cracks, a dragonfly wing that is magnified by N times, a blood-red snake tongue, and a dark blue tail that is several feet long?

Of course, there are normal-looking creatures in this pile of corpses, but apparently their inside is not as ordinary as they appear to be. If Rhaegar guessed correctly, the bunch must be all mutants. And the aforementioned bunch are all crazy.

The madman here is not referring to a specific person, but to a certain group. Because the letters hanging on the building's doors add up to a familiar phrase: Arkham Asylum.

Getting out of the SUV, Rhaegar and the others walked over to the two piles of corpses. Simmons fell in love with the mutants, although he seemed a little disrespectful to the dead, but I have to say that those are the top biological research materials. Simmons' close companion, Fitz, is resistant to any dead body, but follows anyway. Skye, who also doesn't like dead bodies, walks between the two piles of corpses, she's just curious about what happened.

The same is true for Rhaeggar, Ward, and Coulson. They are more concerned with the means by which they are killed than with the bodies themselves.

"Most of the bullets and katana cuts were one-hit, and at most there were only three wounds on the body. And that's already counting kicks and punches of pure power. Ward said with a solemn face.

Coulson nodded. He looked around, but his face was still not very good.

"So, it's the handiwork of Death Knell?" Rhaegar asked Coulson thoughtfully. "Wait, could it be that the saber-toothed tiger and Wolverine made the move before to divert everyone's attention so that other mutants can come and rob the prison?"

Coulson was about to answer Rhaeggar's question when a rhythmic sound of footsteps came from not far away, attracting the attention of all the team members, including Simmons. Strangely, when they all looked at the sound from the other side, the sound suddenly became almost inaudible.

It was a guy wearing a combat uniform with a black body as the main body, various weapons and props hanging from top to bottom, and a two-color hood. There is no eye opening on the black side of the hood, only the orange side of the other side shows the person's left eye. The man held a blood-stained katana in his left hand and a pistol in his right hand, and walked slowly towards Rhaegar and them with murderous and menacing aura.

This is the death knell. Judging from the distance between the two sides, the footsteps that are gradually getting louder are normal now. Obviously, the voice that even Simmons, who was looking at the 'experimental materials' and was restless and excited, was deliberately done by Death Knell to attract everyone's attention.

"Agent Coulson? I've finally waited for you. ”
