Chapter 145: Gotham Meets Acquaintances
While Heimdall was frowning and thinking about the problem that the whole of Asgard couldn't figure out, one of his targets, Zorro, was on the east coast of the United States at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unlike other ordinary people who are watching the situation in Grimwich, politicians, military leaders, etc., Zorro has been keeping an eye on another thing these days.
Batman's death.
For many media outlets, this is just a small section of the newspaper's sixth, seventh, and eighth editions. But in the eyes of some people, the shock and significance of this news is far more than that. Gotham, for example, the largest newspaper in Gotham devoted three consecutive large pages to the message that Batman is dead, talking about Batman's influence on Gotham, and discussing what problems Batman would cause if he were really dead. After all, Batman was an iconic Gotham figure for the previous twenty years.
In addition, the Avengers who were "partying" with Thor expressed a certain level of concern after hearing this rumor, but that's about it. Even the U.S. team did not take further action because the matter had not yet been confirmed. In the entire Avengers, only Wildcat, who derided himself as a "peripheral member", decided to do something. As one of Batman's few friends, he returned to Gotham with his former protégé, Black Canary, to investigate the source of the rumors, but the two of them, who did not have any criminal investigation skills, spent several days without progress, but caused a lot of trouble under some ulterior motives. There are even suspicions that they have something to do with Batman's disappearance.
That's right, the most optimistic people for the time being can only use "missing" to define Batman's state.
The simplest, most direct and effective way to break the rumors of death is naturally for Batman to appear in person. But it has been almost half a month since the rumors first appeared, and Batman still hasn't appeared. Not only that, but he made his city dread every night. These days, one villain after another appears on the streets of Gotham to do evil, and in Batman's style, he must be beaten to the death until there is only one breath left. But Batman never appeared!
These days, Gotham can be described as a flurry of people's hearts. There are even people who are eager to try and get a piece of the Gotham, which is about to be disrupted. This kind of movement reminds the citizens of Gotham of the days when gangs were rampant, officials and businessmen colluded, and life was depressing and difficult. As a result, the people at the bottom began to desperately hope for Batman to respond in order to eliminate those threats that they no longer wanted to face.
However, whether it is a parade or a newspaper urging, and even some people want to use invective to stimulate Batman, all of them are ineffective. On the contrary, those villains, supervillains, and gangsters saw that Batman was like this and did not show up, and immediately believed the claim that Batman was dead. What started as a simple temptation quickly turned into a large-scale operation. Robbery, brawls, protection money, vandalism...... For a while, Gotham once again returned to the dire situation of the past.
The strange thing is that although there is news that Batman is dead, and Batman has indeed been missing for a long time - it is likely that he is really dead, but until today, half a month later, no one or any organization has publicly admitted to being responsible for Batman's death. On the contrary, some minions boasted that they themselves had contributed to or participated in the so-called assassination of Batman, but these guys who fished in troubled waters were all killed in the streets the next day. It is reported that it was the hand of some supervillains. Riddler, Penguin Man, etc. They also seem to be checking the truth about the Batman incident.
The chaos on the streets has left Gotham Police Chief James Gordon anxious. This is his last term, and he will be able to go home and enjoy his retirement, but he didn't expect this to happen.
As the chief of police, no one knows the importance of Batman to Gotham better than him. It just made him helpless, whether it was to hit the Batlight or his personal relationship with Batman, he didn't get a response, and it was impossible to confirm whether Batman was still alive. He also clearly knows that the people who are making trouble on the streets now are just some third- and fourth-rate villains, and the real big names have not yet appeared! It's just that those damn third- and fourth-rate pawns brazenly stormed the Black Gate Prison and Arkham, and released the guys inside, including some of the big names who were put in by Batman not long ago!
"If this continues, the situation will definitely be more serious than ever......" Turning off the searchlight and retracting the bat mark in the sky that still hadn't been answered, Gordon left the rooftop of the police station with worry and loneliness.
With his understanding of Batman, the other party still hasn't appeared in this situation, probably really that, right? Without the Dark Knight, who else would save Gotham?
It was in this context that Zorro returned to Gotham.
"Even if Dachao hangs up, that guy should be alive and well, right? This can't be, BVS hasn't been staged yet, and I'm going to watch this pair of good friends fall in love and kill each other in the front row......"
Unexpectedly, he had just entered Gotham from the Three Gates Bridge near Arkham Asylum when he was approached.
"It's you?!" Looking at the visitor, Zorro was very surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm waiting for you!" The visitor responded in a somewhat depressed tone. The guy rolled up his sleeves and wore a pink children's electronic watch on his wrist with mottled purple skin. "I've been waiting for a while...... Well, 84 hours, 37 minutes and 26 seconds before you appeared. What have you done? ”
Zorro still didn't react. This guy has been waiting for him here for more than three days? What the hell is this?!
Without waiting for him to respond, the other party went down and said, "Okay, let's go." Damn, I didn't expect this task to drag on for so long, I thought it would take only a few hours to get it done. Oh my God, Vanessa is going to lay me down when I get back! ”
At this point, everyone should know that the guy who suddenly came out in front of Zorro is a favorite wife maniac with pansexual potential - Deadpool.
"Wait!" Zorro didn't mean to go with him. You must know that the last time the two met, they were still fighting for life and death. Deadpool stabs him in the shoulder, and he blows Deadpool's head. To be honest, Deadpool will recover like that, which makes him quite envious. And after this happened, the other party still talked to him so "kindly", or on the premise of waiting for dozens of hours, there must be something wrong with it.
However, one problem after another. First: "How did you know I was going to Gotham?" ”
Deadpool replied cheerfully, "I don't know, and I didn't ask, but someone told me you'd come." ”
Well, question two: "So how do you know I'm going to go this way?" Don't tell me someone told you about it. ”
"Hehe, you're so smart—that's weird!" Deadpool naturally complained, "I just know why, and the answer is, I didn't know you would go this way." However, someone has already arranged for you, and there are people waiting for you on the main roads into Gotham. And you're gone this way, it's ......."
"Damn, you faggot, do you dare to say that fate is trying?!" Seeing Deadpool sticking up, Zoroma pulled away and scolded at the same time.
"Okay." Deadpool struck a weak, pitiful tone, "I just wanted to say, 'It's great.'" When I receive you, my honorarium will be increased by 30%. Maybe Vanessa will be able to forgive me for not returning home for three days. And then maybe she'll say yes......"
Hearing this, Zorro immediately interrupted the other party: "Gotcha, don't tell me about your Vanessa again." Tell me who your employer is. I'm a little curious about the guy who insists on seeing me. ”
As a result, Deadpool spread his hands.
"Actually, I don't know her either......"
"She?" Zorro thought it was Batman.
“…… She said you should know her name, though. "Deadpool spreads her hands again," she said, her name is Selena Kyle. ”
