Chapter 1676: No Time to Die (39)

When the first card of the dominoes fell, Batman stared at the chaotic game, and almost immediately discerned the true purpose of Robin's intentions from the intricate superficiality.

They are forcing Gotham's powerful family to pick up guns again and become a gangster family that uses violence as a pillar and a means.

In fact, Batman has only spent the end of a gangster era, Falcone was already an old man when he debuted, and the old godfather had already dominated Gotham more than ten years ago, and after more than ten years of evolution, the structure of the gangster family has long been a backwater, and there is no advantage in it.

Batman, who debuted in such an era, really didn't think there was anything good about the gangster structure, this was actually not a system that could be maintained for a long time at all, and Batman didn't believe that Robin couldn't see it.

But they have spent so much effort to force Gotham's interest groups into the trap they have set and continue to guide them down this path, what is it that gives them confidence and makes them firm that this is right?

Clues can be found just by elimination, and the only variable in Robin's peaceful daily life is the trip to other universes.

Batman had thought about how Schiller had brought Gotham back to light in the universe he was in, and of course he knew that the timeline of that universe was earlier than his own universe, after all, the Bruce Wayne of that universe he had seen was younger.

But of all the answers Batman got, there was no gangster system, because that wasn't really the point at all, and if Gotham's problems could be solved so easily, then how could Gotham rot like this?

It is true that the gangster system cannot save Gotham, it is difficult to even maintain a hundred years of peace, and the system built on violence and power must follow the laws of the dynastic cycle, and there will always be a day when it collapses.

It's just that now Batman can't be sure, his Robins don't know this clearly, whether they plan to go back to the era first, and then slowly find a solution, or whether they really don't paint the skin and bones, and only plan to learn superficial phenomena.

And to know this answer, Batman must first figure out whether the darkness that Robins know is actually occult, and if they knew, they would probably take it more seriously, and would not easily expect some kind of system to completely change Gotham.

And if you want to know whether Robin is aware of the dark occult elements of Gotham, Batman naturally has to pay attention to whether Robin found the fish that was slapped by the waves through the appearance of the storm in this turbulent wave.

And at this time, Batman thought, in addition to Harley, there is a little guy who has disappeared for a long time, where is his own son Damien Wayne now, and what is he doing?

Batman found Damian in a secret base in Downtown, or he thought he could find Damian, but in fact he only found Damian's uniform, because the positioning device was attached to the uniform.

Damian takes off his uniform, which Batman thinks, is a bit of a surprise, and although Robins of the Bat family rarely take off their uniforms, Damian is clearly the most symptomatic member of the uniform dependency.

Of course, Damian will be disguised when performing some infiltration missions, but such a mission is obviously impossible to appear in the lower town, where the method of doing things is to kick the door, and there are not so many twists and turns.

And this apartment doesn't look like a secret base shared by Robins, but rather like a place for Damian to settle down for himself, just to store some temporary supplies.

So what is he doing here?

Batman looks a little confused, but the lack of a positioning device can't stop him from using his detective talent to follow Damian's footsteps.

Soon, Batman finds some clues around the building, which he follows around the city several times.

Then it turned out that what Damian wanted to do might not be ordinary and unsightly, because usually when the demon boy completed Robin's mission, he only walked around the city twice at most.

In the end, clues lead Batman to Gotham City's largest ...... Septic tank.

That's right, it's also a Wayne Group property.

Perhaps many people don't know that the sewage work in modern cities has been very well developed, septic tanks are mainly used for fermentation, and after the pollutants are treated, a large amount of excrement will be broken down into residues and sewage, which usually go to fertilizer factories, and sewage is treated and discharged into the sea.

The Wayne Group, which owns the largest fertilizer factory in Gotham City, naturally controls 80% of the septic tank in Gotham's interior, and the one that Batman found following in Damian's footsteps is the largest septic tank in the city.

As long as the modern septic tank doesn't enter the chamber where the pollutants are stored, it doesn't smell much, and Batman walked around the building a few times, but he couldn't find Damian.

But he did find a strange trace near the surrounding shipping pipes.

The east side of the septic tank treatment plant is connected to the sewage discharge pipe, which Batman usually doesn't pay attention to, but Spider-Man's good neighbor behavior before made him have to work overtime overnight to check whether there are any sewage discharge violations in the chemical plant.

So Batman noticed the drain pipe for the first time, as if it was a habit, and he didn't find any illegal discharge, but found traces of groundbreaking near the water pipe.

Batman checked it, and then found that this should not be the result of Spider-Man's inspection team after inspection and correction some time ago, but the recent, strictly speaking, traces of transformation in the last few hours.

Combined with the previously discovered whereabouts of Damian, Batman has to suspect that Damian has moved the sewage drain.

Batman knew that his son had some engineering skills and experience, and it would not be difficult for him to change the pipeline, plus Robin had been planning for a long time, so it was very likely that the materials had been prepared a long time ago.

The question is, what are they doing with the drains of the septic tank?

Batman felt that he wanted to know what the hell was going on with Robin's hammer, so he had to dig up the place they had already filled in.

Of course, it is impossible for Batman to dig by manpower, the main thing is that he cannot dig by his own manpower.

About half an hour later, Flash and Spider-Man were carried to the septic tank together.

"You, shut up, I haven't had time to hold you accountable for throwing strangers to Gotham, you, don't talk, or get out of Gotham, you two, get to work now."

Flash Barry and Spider-Man Peter glanced at each other, and the fight that was supposed to quarrel in front of Batman couldn't be argued, otherwise they would definitely have to settle accounts with the Queen.

Mainly, these two curious babies are really curious, what is Batman doing digging the drain of the septic tank?

The process of septic tank treatment of feces and urban sewage is probably to first go through sedimentation, stratify the sediment and liquid, and then treat the sediment after the liquid is sent to the sewage treatment plant separately, so its sewage drainage pipe should lead to the sewage treatment plant.

But Flash and Spider-Man dug and dug and dug and dug and Batman found out that something was wrong, the drainage line of the septic tank between Uptown and Midtown was modified, and it can be said that it was clearly and unabashedly heading towards Uptown.

Batman had a bad premonition.

At this time, on the ground floor of a manor in Uptown, a woman with a bird's beak mask slapped the table and said: "Even if March is unreliable, it is better than those waste birds you raised, who sent a reconnaissance team to go around Midtown, and when they came back, they were shot an average of eighteen times?" ”

"Hmph, Doris, the candidate you cultivated can't even compare to the gangster boss from Ye Luzi, how far behind is the vote now? There must be at least a difference of 20,000 votes, right? ”

"So what? It's just that several mainstream media under my command haven't started to exert their strength yet, as long as the publicity is in place, the difference of 20,000 votes is nothing, but you ......"

"Alright." A voice came from the front of the table, accompanied by a sigh, and an old man sitting on the throne said, "We are gathered here today to discuss why there have been many events in Gotham that have suddenly happened outside the control of the Owl Court, you can say what you think, but it is better not to waste time on pointing fingers at each other." ”

"Our people have found out that the so-called 'Neville' family is actually a reverse fight of the Wayne family, and we suspect that it is Batman who is behind it."

"You still need to check such a simple matter?" Another voice immediately retorted disdainfully, saying, "The members of the Neville family all use voice changers, but it is not difficult to find out that they are not very old, and they are probably the children of the Bat family." ”

"Just a few kids to make Gotham like this? Batman is really getting better and better, and he shouldn't have been kept alive in the first place. ”

Suddenly, a man in a robe and a beak mask coughed twice, and he said, "Batman is of great use to us...... Let's not talk about this yet, let's think about how to calm the chaos in Gotham City first, and it won't do us any good if it goes on like this. ”

"I can't count on it anyway...... Wait, did you hear anything? Is there a knock on the door? ”

Everyone turned their heads together and looked towards the basement door, and with a "bang" the door was kicked open, and Batman walked into the conference room, and without waiting for anyone to speak, he spoke quickly.

"Get out of here, you have less than ten seconds."

"Batman?! How do you ......"

"Let's go !!!"

All the members of the Owl Court swore they had never heard Batman roar like this.

But in the next second, the golden light flashed, and Batman directly entered the speed force, and then disappeared, and the attitude of leaving was anxious as if he had fled from the desert.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from the basement exhaust outlet, and a strong chemical stench then wafted away, and in an instant, an endless stream of untreated septic tank sewage flooded the room.

What's even more terrifying than is that the liquid is pervasive, and when it rushes into a closed room in a short period of time, even a good swimmer will inevitably choke on water.

The modified pipes discharged enough septic tank sewage to fill an entire room in just a few tens of seconds

What does it feel like to be completely submerged by the dirt that has been collecting the dirt of the whole city and fermenting in the septic tank for several days?

The answer of the members of the Owl Court was - there was no time to die.

They wanted to die, but they didn't have time, because they had to find a way to go under the water and open the door, or they would really have to drown in the sewage.

Then, the members of the Owl Court discover that the unrivaled bond between Batman and the Batfamily also plays a role at this moment - Batman welds the door before leaving.

In fact, it wasn't Batman who welded it to death, but The Flash welded it to death with Spider-Man.

And the members of the Owl Court, who tried to pry the door to save themselves, finally understood what it meant to be - Spider-Man is never lazy at work, and you can be trusted as a good neighbor in New York.

This is the dung smeared wall (sad)
