Chapter 206: The One Who Knows You Best
Seeing Strange's pride in his eyes, Zorro made a boring gesture to catch flies: "Arkham's actual master? Hehe, if you like it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Strange didn't pay much attention to this, but looked at Zorro with interest.
"You're completely different from when you were in Arkham. Back then, you knew that you were generally measured and knew how to forbear. But now ......"
Zorro pouted: "I just chose to let myself go after some restraints." ”
"So, that's your nature? Don't care about anything? Strange said as he said somehow serious and even excited, "So that's your biggest problem." With your abilities, more than twenty years ago, even if you didn't reach the alien heights of the Metropolis, you should have the prestige of that playboy in New York. But what about reality? Mercenary? ”
Hearing this, Zorro glanced at the other party strangely: "Compared with those two, my ability is too limited." At least I can't fly, and I don't have much to watch. Moreover, I never thought that your lofty ideal would be to create a superhero? ”
As a super villain who takes the soft power route, you have gone astray in your painting style!
Strange just looked at Zorro with pity and shook his head slightly.
"I'm just not worth it for you. No one knows your abilities better than I do. Even if not a superhero, it should be a supervillain. ”
Zorro smiled, "So that's what you've spent so much effort creating opportunities for one-on-one conversations?" Persuade me to be a supervillain, or rather, persuade me to join you? ”
"I know what you mean. But compared to 20 years ago, no, compared to more than a decade ago, things are a little different. Strange walked around the room with his hands behind his back. More than twenty years ago, I was just a researcher of some stature in the Owl Court. However, since more than ten years ago, there has only been one voice in the reborn owl court. Hehe, we should change the sentence you added just now. How about joining me instead? ”
If Hugo Strange claimed to have taken control of Arkham Mental Hospital before, now he actually said that he controlled the entire Owl Court? What kind of plot is this!
What is the Owl Court, it is an organization that monitors Gotham all the time, and turns Gotham into its own playground through various channels. Their original intention was to revive Gotham, which was already on the verge of collapse in the seventies and eighties, through various means, but later as power and desire spiraled out of control, it became a fundamental pursuit of self-interest.
Since it is an owl "courtroom" and nothing else, his high-rise buildings naturally bear a resemblance to a courtroom in the ordinary sense. The leaders of this organization, the judges, are all children of the local Gotham family, and the "jury" under the "judge" is also all rich second generations, heirs to the inheritance, etc. The qualifications are very high, but they are not suitable for management. Their biggest advantage is that they have money and power, and they have their own lofty ideas for Gotham, but most of these ideas cannot be put in place, because their profession is not specialized enough, and they are prone to internal conflicts and even conflicts, and there are too many mundane interferences outside the organization to devote themselves to it. But now, with Hugo Strange as the "judge", the situation is different. This mad scientist has come up from the bottom, has enough ability and courage, and is focused enough. Perhaps under his control, the Owl Court no longer aims to revive Gotham, and no longer wants to take Gotham into the palm of their hands, but they have become more terrifying and difficult.
The most intuitive, the six copies of Batman before the siege of Zorro. As the leader, Strange is no longer bound by funds, and there is no "boss" to tell him what to do and what not to do.
"What happened?" Zorro asked with a solemn expression.
"What happened? It doesn't seem appropriate for you to ask! Strange laughed again, "You were involved in the battle between Bruce Wayne and Bruce Wayne in Batman and the Owl Court. Others don't know, but I know. At that time, you directly or indirectly killed almost all those rich second-generation sons and brothers in the owl court at that time. This gives me convenience. While you're secretly watching the final showdown between Taryn and Bruce Wayne Batman, I'm absorbing all the intel and resources of the Owl Court! So you see, in fact, our cooperation has been going on for a long time. It's not that hard, and it's not much of a psychological burden, is it? ”
Zorro's face darkened. He's used to being that fisherman, but now he's just another praying mantis?
Strange probably didn't think the blow to Zorro was big enough, and continued: "It was then that I found out that you were still alive, and figured out that you worked with Bruce Wayne to bring down my Arkham base, and finally faked your death by means of an explosion. I have to say, I am impressed by your scheming. So, with our conversation today. As the only third party in the world who knows the identity of Bruce Wayne and yours, I have taken the trouble to spend more than a decade laying out and integrating the resources of the Owl Court. In order not to arouse Batman's idea, he shifted the center of gravity of the Owl Court away from Gotham, and also befriended some other ancient families. Corvinus is a vampire (Selena), a wizard of the wizarding world, the German Whitehall family (Hydra Whitehall and the Inhuman Race Rena brought with it), the undead scientists of the Victorian era (Mr. Evil and his Clone of Jean Grey), the League of Assassins on the Chinese frontier (Bronze Tiger and Lady Siva), the Malcam family of Star City, and Tyron, who I rescued. By the way, there's also Canterlot's Swan family (Thawne). I didn't expect that one of their descendants who had traveled back from the 25th century was trapped in this time period. What a bonus! ”
It has been more than ten years to contact these families and forces around the world, just like Strange said, this is really a good game. Moreover, using so many strong people or even super strong people, he is too much to look up to!
"Oh, at first I was just hoping to borrow their eyeliner and let them help keep an eye on you. After all, you're too good a mercenary. By the way, you can tell me about the nicknames 'European Plate Control' and 'Middle Eastern Meat Roller'. ”
Zorro pouted.
"Back to business. You think it's a big deal for me to come to them to deal with you during this time, it's because you don't understand your own value. What's more, as I researched your mercenary assignments, I found that I had to find enough power to force you into my trap. Because you always act unexpectedly, and you always act like you are at ease. I have to be wary of your possible hole cards. Not to mention, you seem to have recently acquired new abilities! ”
"Gotta get it, I know your point." Zorro looked helpless, and finally found an opportunity to interject, "What you mean is nothing more than to let me know that you know me best, and maybe add a sentence that knows me better than myself, and then tell me where I should be the most, what are the things I should do the most, etc., and finally convince me to join you and become your pawn, right?" Let's not say that this type of statement is too old-fashioned, not at all new, and your reasons are not very convincing. You are my 'creator', and you should know something about me. But if you think you're more ...... than myself."
At this point, Strange interrupted Zorro with a sneer: "Come on, you should be honest enough - not to me, but to yourself. Let's just put it this way, more than 20 years have passed, how many problems have you found in your body? ”
