A few people in the room had just finished listening to the Fallen Knight, aka Karis? In the full version of the story of Kearns, the protagonist of the story came in with a phone call.

After a few exchanged glances, Roy replied, "Good evening, Lady Kearns." ”

"It's a winged knight, right?" The Fallen Knight responded, "I remember you, in fact you made a pretty good impression on me. Your strength and wildness are a match made in heaven for my stigmatizers. ”

"I don't have any resemblance to you."

"You don't have to deny it, because it's something that everybody knows." She paused, then said, "I'm calling today to find you. I'm sure you're done listening to me now, and you're going to come to me for the rest of your trip, right? ”

She knew, she knew everything, that every word and breath that was being uttered in this house was under her surveillance.

"Not bad." There's no need to hide it, Roy admitted, "You can wait at home, we'll be there shortly." ”

The Fallen Knight chuckled twice and said, "Unfortunately, I only want to see you alone tonight." ”

"Why do you think we need to listen to you?"

"Because you care too much about the lives of scum." "I don't care, scum don't deserve to breathe the air of this world, but you take them too seriously, and that's your weakness." As now, I tell you in no uncertain terms, if you don't agree to my terms, one person will die. So yes, you have no choice but to agree to my conditions. I'm glad to have the opportunity to sit down with you face-to-face, Winged Knight, and I hope you don't break my expectations. I'll be waiting for you on the top floor of the Three Towers, hurry up, my people aren't very patient. ”

The voice fell, and the phone immediately rang with a hang-up "click", followed by a string of busy tones.

The eyes of the other three were focused on Roy's.

"Don't try to stop me." Out of the corner of his eye, Roy glanced at Barbara, "I don't have a choice. ”

"If you're going to fight stigmatizers, you have to know more about them," McRody said. The main force under the Fallen Knight is a total of three people, Bone Crushing, Purification, and Desolation. They were all people that Karis had taken a fancy to from Arkham Asylum, and each one had a hard time coping. ”

"We've fought each other." Roy said, "I'll be prepared this time." ”

Three-tower building.

The Winged Knight flew through the night sky, holding a rope and soaring straight up to the top floor of the building. There is a window open, like the open mouth of the host, saying "Welcome" to guests from outside the air.

Roy slipped through the window, and the master was already inside to greet him.

The entire interior is dazzlingly golden, and the lighting is dazzling. The Fallen Knight sits on a chair directly in front of him, like a throne. There was no expression on the golden mask on her face, and her cloak obscured most of her body.

"You want to see me." Roy strode forward, "I'm coming." ”

The Fallen Knight slowly raised his hand and removed his golden mask and hood, revealing a rather youthful face underneath, with blonde hair stretched out from the hood.

"Karis? Kearns. The Fallen Knight smiled and introduced himself, "But I'm sure you already know my name." ”

Roy asked, "You said there was a man who would die, who was he?" ”

"Well, forgive me for not telling you the truth." She smiled slightly, "The person I'm talking about is in the room behind me right now. However, no matter what you do, he will die, and I will kill him in the end. ”

"Then we don't have anything to talk about."

"I'm not busy." Karis smiled, "Let's talk first, I'm sure you'll approve of what we're doing." Detective McRody should have told you everything she knew, but she didn't know the whole story of mine. ”

"My father's name was Kenneth, and as you know, he was a real estate tycoon who was one of the kings behind Gotham a long time ago. In fact, we are like aristocrats. ”

"I'm not naïve, and it is impossible to build an empire without special means. He made everything with circuits and strength, and he didn't nod his head and no one became a judge, because people owe him. Since I was a child, my only dream was for him to be proud of me, he was everything to me. I'm not interested in boys because who can compare to my dad? ”

"But that was the only day I fell in love with one man, Trevor. He was the first boy who didn't care about our family's money and power, and he said that all these things would only bring me misfortune. ”

At this point, her tone became long-spoken: "He's right. ”

"One day, he pointed a knife at me and forced me to trick all my family members out and tie them all up with duct tape. Then he skinned them in front of me for three hours. It's just for fun, he said. ”

"You didn't tell that story in court." Roy calmly asked, "Why?" ”

"Soaked in the blood of my family, this is how I was reborn." After saying this inexplicably, Karis turned to say, "How could I have put dear Trevor in jail?" Then I won't be able to confront him for what he's done. I could never forgive him. ”

Roy's voice was low: "What did you do to him?" ”

With a shallow smile, Karis walked to the door behind the throne and reached open the door.

It was like a dirty storage room, but it didn't store a lot of things, just an iron cage. The cage's fence was rusty, and a corner of the room was covered with cobwebs. In the gray iron cage, there was a human-like creature lying on its stomach. His long hair and beard made him look like a primitive man out of the mountains, he was naked from head to toe, and every inch of his skin was covered with stitch marks and residual blood red. His eyes were open, but glazed, and though he blinked twice from time to time due to nerve reflexes, he was no different from a dead man.

Roy's face changed slightly: "You've been keeping him here?" ”

"Yes, because it's too cheap for him to die." Karis looked at the long-dead body of the caged soul with an almost crazy smile, "We haven't had enough of it. ”

She looked back at Roy and said, "When you fought you, you showed a ferocity that only belongs to people like us, Winged Knight. You are different from Batman, different from all of him, I can feel that. You've heard my story, and I don't expect you to fully understand my thoughts and feelings, but I think you should have understood the cruelty of reality and the necessity of my approach. Evil must be eradicated, there is no room for maneuver, even a thief who steals in the streets, can be the most dangerous hidden danger and must be eliminated. ”

She held out a hand: "Now, it's time for you to choose." Join our cause, and with your extraordinary talent, you are destined to do more. ”

Roy glanced indifferently at her outstretched hand and said, "If you're done here, then we'll be able to fight." ”

Karis's face changed: "Haven't you been touched at all?" This is my real life, my own experience, not a story made up casually to cheat cheap tears! Through this, don't you see the darkness of the world at all? ”

"See." Roy said in a nonchalant tone, "But nothing unusual, I already knew it." ”

Karis's tone became indifferent: "But you are insensitive, unmoved. ”

She slowly put on the golden mask and put the hood on her cloak again: "I did misunderstand you by saying this, you are not one of us. In that case, you must be destroyed. ”

As soon as the voice fell, it was like a command being conveyed, and the elevator on one side "ding" to this floor. The three stigmatists, including the Bone Crusher, who was supposed to have been imprisoned in Arkham, appeared in the lobby on the top floor. It looks like Karis has used some small trick to get the Bone Crusher out of Sully again.

"Kill him." The Fallen Knight said coldly.

Roy glanced at the three who were staring at him, and said, "Since you lied to me in the first place, then maybe I also broke the agreement." ”

The glass window with gold patterns printed on the top of the head shattered, and two female bats fell from the sky, and glass shards were scattered on the sides of the two of them.
