Chapter 176: Chaos Magic: Physical Version
"Do you know what you're doing?"
Oswald was in the room, nimbly dodging the claws' attacks, and shouted:
"I'm the mayor of this city! You guys, it's too late to stop! ”
"Help, help!"
Oswald shouted, but he knew that the guards in his iceberg club would not be able to save him.
Because the blades in the hands of these two claws were stained with slippery and sticky blood.
Obviously, this blood was poured from the guards outside his house.
These guys must have killed them all before they got to their bedrooms.
Damn it!
Oswald cursed in his heart, if it wasn't for the suddenness of the incident, he didn't have time to put on his equipment, and he wouldn't be so embarrassed at all!
But it's still not a way to dodge passively like this.
Oswald's physical strength was depleting rapidly, and unlike Talon's inhuman physique, he was a real human being.
Even, after becoming the mayor, the belly began to bulge slightly, and there were some signs of fortune.
I have to say that Oswald is now more and more like a real penguin.
In the end, Oswald, exhausted, was forced into a corner by two claws.
One of the claws pointed the tip of his knife at Oswald, who was slumped on the ground, and said, "Oswald Copote, the current mayor of Gotham, the Owl Court, sentence you to death!" ”
Owl Court!
Oswald immediately thought of the legend he had heard since childhood.
And, the horrible nursery rhyme he always thought was just to scare children into sleeping obediently.
Oswald let out a breath of turbid air and laughed at himself, "I didn't expect that I would die in a legendary story." ”
Hearing this, Talon seriously showed a trace of disdain, and said: "The death penalty can be executed, executor, Talon!" ”
Then he swung the knife in his hand at Oswald.
Seeing this, Oswald had already accepted his fate, but he found that he could not just bow his head and wait for death.
Resistance is a tradition of the Gotham people.
It is also Oswald, the most powerful weapon from a down-and-out gangster to his current position.
Even if you know that you are going to die, you have to fight with all your might!
Oswald, dressed in his penguin pajamas, clenched his right fist and used all his strength to punch the blade of the claw.
The moment the fist and blade touched, the claws in front of Oswald's eyes instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
This sudden change made Oswald, who was already determined to die, and the claws who were watching the play on the sidelines stunned.
Both of them were sprayed in a mist of blood from the knife's claws, and the crimson blood made both of them eerie.
Oswald brought his clenched right fist to his eyes and stared at his punching fist with wide eyes.
The look in his eyes quickly changed from the initial doubts and incomprehension to ecstasy!
Fists clenched and spread, spread and clenched.
Oswald muttered, "Isn't... Have I finally awakened my superpowers? The power of this punch... Terrifying! ”
When Oswald was shocked alone, the other claw next to him suddenly felt a little unclear about the situation, and decisively chose to retreat.
As he stepped back, a shocked Oswald turned his head and glanced at him.
Then, the cargo exploded on the spot.
At this moment, Oswald was completely confused!
", could it be that I have awakened a double ability, and I can destroy the gods with a glance?"
"These guys called claws are obviously completely different from ordinary people, I just need one punch and one look to blow them up, and I'm too good......"
Before Oswald finished his boastful words, Depp's figure suddenly appeared in front of him and said, "What claws? ”
"Huh? Mr. Depp, when are you coming! ”
After saying that, Depp disappeared again.
Oswald was left alone.
Poor little penguin immediately realized that it was not himself who had just blown his claws, but Depp.
But Oswald was still unwilling to slam his fist into the wall beside him.
I hope I can break the wall with one punch.
Unfortunately, after this punch, the wall did not shatter, but Oswald's claw almost broke.
"Ahhh
Oswald clutched his swollen right hand and screamed in pain.
In the wee hours of the morning, the dark side of Gotham has just woken up.
The busy work during the day has already put most people to sleep.
And for some of the guys who only haunt in the dark, their evil carnival has just begun.
And, because of the addition of the claws, tonight's crime carnival is obviously bloodier and more intense than ever.
Countless business elites and political tycoons hid in their homes, shivering.
They didn't necessarily know the origin of the assassin in front of them, but they must have heard that chilling nursery rhyme.
Watch out for the Owl Court, which keeps an eye on your travels.
A peek out into Gotham City from the shadows, hidden in a low-walled attic.
He was with him at home, and he was also present in bed.
Don't mention his name, and the claws will look for you.
Today, the legend is a reality.
The guys who were approached by the claws finally understood that the Owl Court really existed.
And I finally understood why I should "beware of the owl court".
Because if you do something that they find unforgivable, they will immediately come and take your life.
At this moment, they were found hiding by Talon.
They all heard the same sentence:
"Owl Court, convict you!"
"Death penalty, executed immediately!"
"Inquisitor: Court of Owls."
"Executioner: Claw."
When they are huddled in the bed and in the corner, or shivering with their wives and children in their arms.
The claws, who had just finished the judgment speech, exploded into a cloud of blood almost at the same time, spraying it all over the room.
Subsequently, these elites and tycoons heard the same sentence again...
"What claws?"
"What claws!"
"What claws."
"What claws ......"
Depp muttered the address Bruce had sent him.
Well, there's one last one left.
Depp came like the wind and came to the door of the last man, who was attacked by the claws.
Fatima Gaucho, a well-known politician, was once a strong contender for mayor of Gotham.
Now, after Oswald became mayor, he was still hired as a key government member in Gotham.
A very capable heroine, in Gotham City, an ordinary woman, can go to such a high position in this place full of monsters, it is really rare.
Depp heard the cries inside the house and immediately broke down the door.
But the scene in front of him made him a little difficult to accept.
A burly man, shivering, standing in the corner.
It was Fatima's husband, Councillor Hildi.
When the claws attacked, Councillor Hildy pushed his wife out without hesitation, and then reflexively jumped to the window.
This cowardly guy actually wanted to use his wife's life to buy time for his escape.
Fatima apparently didn't expect this to happen, and she couldn't figure out her husband, who had been loving to her for decades.
At a critical juncture, such a ridiculous thing would be done.
But the blade was coming, her life was coming to an end, and Fatima didn't have time to think about it anymore.
But just as Fatima closed her eyes, ready for death.
With a bang, she suddenly felt as if she had been sprayed with some warm, fishy liquid.
When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find that the assassin had long since disappeared, leaving only the rich smell of blood wafting through the air and the spray of blood all over the room.
And... Lying on the ground already unconscious husband, Hildy.
In addition to this, there were gloves and a katana used by the Assassin on the ground, as well as a note.
The note reads:
It's up to you to take the life of this dog, but don't forget that he just tried to block the claws with your life.
After reading the note, Fatima did not hesitate at all without any little girl.
Directly put on the gloves, picked up the katana, and slashed directly at Hildy's neck.
"Dog, mom doesn't want you anymore!"
------
"All targets cleared."
Depp sent a voice message to Bruce.
Bruce subconsciously looked at the time after receiving the message.
Less than ten seconds have passed since he gave Depp all the locations to operate.
"You guy, you can finish all the claws that are operating tonight in ten seconds." Bruce quipped, "I think you're the most important target of the Owl Court right now." ”
Depp said: "I think those guys probably don't even know who killed their claws. ”
Depp is now very confident in his speed.
Bruce poured cold water on it and said, "Correspondingly, we don't know where these guys' lair is. ”
Depp thought for a moment and said, "They're everywhere, only Gotham." ”
"Listening to your tone, you seem to know where their nest is?" Bruce asked.
Depp shook his head when he heard this: "I'm sorry, I don't know where their lair is, but I think we can dig into it slowly." ”

Deep underneath Gotham, where dirt and underground rivers are supposed to be distributed, there is something different.
It's like an underground palace, opulent and brightly lit.
There are owl carvings and paintings everywhere, and it is clear that this is the real stronghold of the owl court.
Except for the core members of the court, no one knows where it is.
In the underground palace, in a rather spacious conference room.
Four lifelike white owls, carved around the room.
Their eyes, carved like real owls, are sharp and eerie.
These four owls are like four evil ghosts who are always watching everyone's every move.
If ordinary people think that there are gods in their heads, then in this conference room, everyone will think that there are owls in their heads!
In the conference room, more than a dozen men and women dressed in decent suits or dresses.
They all wore eerie white masks and sat at the long table in the middle, in a circle.
There were all sorts of delicacies on the table, but no one took a bite.
At the head of the conference table, the person at the head of the table gently tapped the long table three times with his knobly distinct fingers, and said:
"Today's meeting has begun, please be quiet."
"Tonight, we held the largest mass assassination in more than a decade."
"We have awakened a total of twenty-nine claws, corresponding to the thirteen people we discussed before, and the judgment needs to be lowered."
"Of these, I am most concerned about whether William can bring Dick back."
"The Graysons have been our claw suppliers for so many years."
"And their family is always our best claw, and we must not let go of a good seedling like Dick Grayson."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone outside running back out of breath.
The man, also wearing a white mask, said, "No... Oh no! ”
The leader frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Don't always panic, and when the core members are in a meeting, others are not allowed in, have you forgotten? ”
The man bent over, gasped, and said, "The news from the owl outpost, the talons sent out today, seem to have all failed. ”
This time, not only the person who led it, but also the other core members couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts, and they made a voice of disbelief together.
"What?!"
The leader was quite calm, he knocked on the table lightly, and said, "Everyone, don't be impatient, don't get too excited." On the 23rd, you continue. ”
The man known as 23 continued, "All of the claw's life detection devices lost their vital signs in an instant, and even the devices were damaged. Except for one person..."
"Who?"
"William Cobb, the claw who went to find Dick Grayson, but he still hasn't come back and can't contact him."
When the leader heard this, he was silent for a while, and then said:
"Gotham belongs to us, and the city has to be what we want to become!"
"And now, we seem to have encountered something interesting, but whoever dares to challenge the authority of the Owl Court will be judged!"
After he had finished speaking, the others immediately chimed in.
"That's right, the authority of the Owl Court is beyond doubt!"
"This guy must be sentenced to death!"
"No, burn at the stake!"
"No one can disobey the will of the Owl Court, no one has ever been!"
Now such an excited look makes the leader quite satisfied.
Bell,
He tapped the table lightly again.
"Ever since that damn bat came along, the city seems to be getting more and more unruly. ”
"Perhaps, we should make a little more noise until we completely wipe out those who dare to challenge us."
"Like Batman, like Bruce Wayne, like James Gordon and... The disobedient new mayor. ”
"First of all, owls need to start by hunting bats!"
At this point, a core member asked, "What if... What if we fail to judge them? ”
The leader looked at him and said, "Then destroy the city completely, and then we will rebuild it." ”

Thank you for the reward from the big guy Xia Wolf Feather!
