City of Miracles, the headquarters of the League of Assassins.

Following a similar route to where Roy had arrived, Batman also found the hidden secret door on the side of the gate, and found the stronghold through this door.

Not surprisingly, a group of Assassins emerged from the shadows around him the moment he stepped in, surrounding him.

There was no fluctuation on Batman's face at all, and his eyes were as cold as ice. He didn't speak, and without saying a word, he assumed a fighting stance.

That's all about dealing with the Assassins, every time you meet a big one, you have to send a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers before you can win a conversation. Batman hasn't dealt with them once or twice, and he's already very familiar with the process.

But this time, it was a bit unexpected.

The stone door slowly opened, and Lei Xiaogu, whose cloak was softly resting on his hooked back, walked out slowly, and the whole person looked old and thin.

"Lei Xiaogu?" Batman asked, somewhat incredulously, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"As you can see." Lei Xiaogu said, "My time is running out. Say, detective, is there anything I can do to help you? ”

"You said I could join you anytime I changed my mind." Batman said, "Now, that's the time." ”

"Oh? So why did you change your mind? Lei Xiaogu asked.

Batman slowly took off his mask: "Do I still have a choice?" ”

At this moment, his face was crawling with oozing green stems, and his pale face was extremely difficult to see, and it did not take any medical knowledge to tell that he was also terminally ill.

Lei Xiaogu chuckled.

"Let's just get straight to the point, detective." "You know, my eyeliner is all over the world, and I know almost everything. Now that I'm in Arkham myself, do you think I really don't know about you? ”

Batman put his mask back on, stared at him, and didn't answer.

"I know your condition." "I also know that the clown's madman sent his blood samples to the hospitals in Gotham. I don't know exactly what you're here for, but I'm sure you need my help. Say, what do you want? A drop of water from the Lhasa Road Pool? ”

"No, I'm here today for you." Batman said, "I need a sample of your blood." ”

Lei Xiaogu simply pulled out the saber on his side and slashed lightly on his body, leaving a shallow blood mark on the sharp blade.

He then raised his hand and threw the sword to Batman, who caught it.

Once again, this was beyond Batman's expectations. He wanted the enzymes in Lei Xiaogu's blood, but he expected that it would take a lot of work, and he never expected Lei Xiaogu to be so easy to speak.

This is not the Lei Xiaogu in his impression.

"What are you having?" Batman asked.

Lei Xiaogu squinted at him: "Can't you think like that, detective?" Maybe just this time, there is no calculation? My daughter wants you alive, and I'm tired of being your enemy again. My time is running out, and I have already made a decision about my next successor. I just don't have the energy to conflict with you anymore, that's all. ”

"A successor?" Batman keenly captured something, "The Winged Knight told me not long ago that Batgirl was captured in Arkham City, and you did it?" ”

Lei Xiao was silent.

Batman raised his voice and asked viciously, "You threatened him with Batgirl to join you, didn't you!?" ”

"I just did what was needed for me to be in this position." Lei Xiaogu said lightly, "Things will not be smooth sailing, and in order to achieve the goal, sometimes some means are necessary." ”

"You didn't give him the power to choose." Batman said, "I'll stop you at nothing to force him to be your successor, and you know I will." ”

"Then why don't you just go to him?" Lei Xiaogu said, the man had already retreated to the back of the stone gate, and said, "The Winged Knight is now in the Tower of Miracles, responsible for overseeing the implementation of the 'Protocol No. 10'. Find him, and you will find that what he is doing now is voluntary, and you can't change anything. ”

As he finished, the stone door closed dullly and slowly.

Tower of Miracles, top floor.

On this floor is a large room, which is divided into two floors. The main operating room of the entire tower is located on the second floor, a cube surrounded on three sides by transparent bulletproof glass.

Hugo Stevich sat in it, enjoying the panoramic view of Arkham City, and couldn't help but feel the pride of an emperor who reigned over the world.

Right away, this is not the delusion of a dreamer. Soon he will be the leader of the oldest organization in the world, leading the organization that permeates every aspect of the world, and feeling the thrill of holding the world in his hands!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited.

When it was finally confirmed that the second and hour hands coincided with the "12" position on the dial, the historic moment was finally coming.

"Protocol 10 is now officially launched."

As this command was transmitted through the public frequency of the LTTE Guard, every walkie-talkie and every unit listening channel, every unit of the LTTE began to move at this moment. The guards at each of the strongholds poured out of their nests and fired indiscriminately with heavy weapons such as bazookas. Helicopter gunships, which have adopted the world's most advanced technology, take off in unison, spitting frantically at the city of Arkham. The towering walls of the Quarantine Zone divide the two worlds, Gotham, silent in the deep darkness, on one side, and purgatory on earth by the flames on the other

That's how it was supposed to happen.

However, after a few seconds, there was silence outside the window of the Tower of Miracles.

Nothing happened.

After waiting patiently for a few seconds, the sky was still dead dark. Stevich lost his patience and repeated the order: "I said that Protocol Ten will be executed now!" Didn't anyone respond? ”

There really wasn't a response.

Stevich realized something was wrong. Looking down through the glass, he noticed that the guards who had been assigned to patrol the huge room had disappeared for some time.

"Bang!"

With a loud thud, a ninja in a pitch-black uniform with a dark red scabbard slammed into the glass in front of Stevich, leaving a few cracks and sliding against the window.

"DNA Code Recognition, Hugo Stevich. Welcome, Doctor. ”

A crisp mechanical prompt sounded, and the door behind Stevich with the code slowly slid open.

He turned, only to see Batgirl leaning triumphantly against the door with a lightweight decipher in her hand. (To be continued.) )
