Chapter 177: A Clue About the Owl

The Owl Court's attack on the city, although it failed, still cast a shadow on everyone's hearts.

Especially those who were almost killed by the claws.

They panicked, afraid that the claws would find them again.

So, they look at what they've done, hoping to find out why they're being targeted.

But in the end, these almost all come to the same conclusion.

As long as you continue to live in Gotham, you will definitely be found by Talon and will not die.

So, a lot of people are starting to pack up and get out of this damn city tonight.

Leaving Gotham seems to be the only way for them to survive.

As for what industry, what political achievements, and what assets, they are naturally all ready to be sold.

After all, where is life important in money and status?

Because the sun is approaching, the temperature is much colder now than it was late at night.

The first domain name mom

And, with the failure of Talon's assassination attempt, Gotham City once again blows a biting cold wind.

In the sky, a few bats faintly crossed the sky, heading straight for the forest on the outskirts of Gotham, like a fearless knight in the night.

But the night owls lurking in the forest have long been eyeing this group of fearless bats.

As the bats make their way through the jungle, the night owls follow suit, using their claws like iron hooks, to catch the bats back to their burrows and feed them to their young children.

After everything was settled, Depp came to the rooftop at the top of Wayne Tower.

Here, all the members of the Justice League, reconvene tonight.

Even Catwoman, who was far away in Smallville, was picked up by Depp in his arms.

And this time, there were a lot of people who were not members of the Justice League, and they were also called.

For example, Ivy, the poison ivy girl who came with Willen, and Mr. Freeze, Victor, who settled his wife.

As for Harvey Dant, he came here with a terrified Gilda.

"Today's people are really complete." Gordon said, hugging his shoulders.

Gilda snuggled into Harvey's arms, the woman visibly frightened and still shivering.

Harvey's face turned pale, and he was obviously not at peace, and he asked, "What happened today?" Gilda and I were in bed... Suddenly, he was drenched in blood that spurted out. ”

Poor Harvey, who was so immersed in the pleasure with Gilda that he didn't even see the appearance of the claws, and quickly forwarded to the part where the blood mist exploded.

Therefore, among the people present, the most confused were the husband and wife.

As for Selena, before she came, Depp had already told her everything that happened in Gotham tonight.

When Oswald heard this, he said, "The fellows who assassinated tonight seem to call themselves Talon, and have been instructed by the Owl Court to give us... Trials as well as the death penalty. ”

"Trial?" Dick wondered, "I may not be like you, the guy who came to capture me seems to be only trying to take me captive, not to judge and kill me." ”

Hearing this, Wei Lun shook his head and said, "Ivy and I don't know who they are and what their purpose is. ”

Ivy said, "That's right, they just entered the institute and were spotted by the guard plant I placed, so we quickly got into the fight, and didn't even give those guys time to speak. ”

After Ivy finished speaking, Wei Lun directly threw out the claws that had invaded the Depp Botanical Research Institute.

The helmets of these claws had been taken off, and they looked horrible.

Not only did he have a hideous expression, but he was almost sucked dry of the water all over his body, like a shriveled zombie.

On their necks, a few crimson fruits contracted and stretched as if they were alive.

It seems that the bodily fluids of these claws are constantly absorbed by this strange red fruit.

Because the fruit is constantly absorbing the liquid in the claw's body, even if they have extremely terrifying self-healing abilities, they still can't be resurrected.

And this thing is obviously one of Ivy's research results.

When everyone saw such a terrifying and strange scene, they immediately felt that the claws were not so terrifying.

On the contrary, the green non-human couple in front of them is more dangerous.

Perceiving everyone's eyes, Wei Lun explained, "Uh... This thing is called the Red Devil Fruit, and it is one of the new ancillary products that Ivy has researched, and it can continuously absorb the host's bodily fluids. ”

Ivy Science said: "That's right, although the Red Devil Fruit looks a little weird and terrifying, it is actually not very dangerous, as long as you don't press him to your bleeding wound, it will stay asleep and will not be activated." ”

After saying that, Ivy picked the few red devil fruits on the claw's neck, which were as red as blood and crystal clear, and were obviously about to be saturated, and put them into the waist bag she carried with her.

Then he took out two red seeds the size of melon seeds from his waist bag and stuffed them into the wounds of his claws.

As the Red Devil Fruit seed absorbed blood, it began to swell gradually.

However, compared to the others' distancing, Depp instead looked at Ivy and her Red Devil Fruit with excitement.

"This thing... It seems to be quite useful to deal with some guys with strong self-healing ability! ”

Depp asked with great interest: "Ivy, can you give me a pack of this thing called the Red Devil Fruit?" ”

Ivy was stunned for a moment when she heard this, she didn't expect that Depp would be interested in the Red Devil Fruit, an accessory product of failed research.

Immediately, she said with a smile: "Of course you can, you are the boss, you want as much as you want, you don't have to be so polite to me!" ”

After saying that, he took a bag of Red Devil Fruit seeds for Depp, and it seems that there are thousands of them in this packet.

Depp carefully stuffed the Red Devil Fruit Seeds into his arms, but in fact, he unknowingly put them into the system space.

"After this thing absorbs blood or body fluids, what follow-up usage should there be?"

Depp looked at Ivy expectantly.

Ivy looked like she was seen through and said:

"It's worthy of the boss, you can see it at a glance!"

"Indeed, after absorbing blood, the Red Devil Fruit can throw it out, and they can cause a violent explosion after being hit!"

"Moreover, the bodily fluids contained in it will pour out in all directions with the explosion and solidify into sharp crystals at a very fast speed."

"All in all, it's a pretty good weapon of area destruction."

After listening to Ivy's words, everyone took a step back again.

At this time, in their eyes, Ivy is even more dangerous than Joker and Batman!

On the contrary, Depp, not only did he not have any sense of fear, but he was even happier!

"Sure enough, I said it wouldn't suck blood in vain!" Depp said excitedly: "It seems that the work of the Botanical Research Institute is very suitable for you, Ivy!" I thought I should probably invest more in the institute so that you can study more interesting things. ”

"Wellen, I think you think so, right?"

Hearing Depp's words, Wayren glanced at Ivy and immediately said, "To be honest, I don't recommend this, but if you insist on doing so, of course I don't have any opinion." ”

After all this time, Wei Lun still hasn't changed.

In his eyes, it is still Depp who is more important.

Before doing things, everything is in the interests of the boss.

Even the woman you love the most can't compare to your boss.

This is Welen, a crocodile atavistic gene... No, it's Depp's number one horse boy who evolved into the crocodile god gene!

But Ivy wasn't angry, after all, what kind of character Wei Lun was, she had already figured out during this time.

And there is no opinion, after all, Depp is the one who let Wayren and himself get out of the shadow of the past and start a new life.

Even in Ivy's eyes, Wellen's importance is not necessarily higher than that of Depp.

Wellen, a straight man of steel... Depp summed up in his heart and said: "Since this is the case, then increase the financial support of the Botanical Research Institute by 50%!" ”

Bruce interrupted, "Enough, the main reason we're calling everyone here today isn't to study killing plants, it's about the Owl Court and Talon!" ”

"Owl court and talon, what the hell is it?" Dick asked, puzzled.

Owl Court ......

Everyone recalled this familiar and unfamiliar word in their minds, and they were all suddenly surprised.

Harvey put his arm around Gilda's hand, suddenly squeezed it a little tighter, and said, "Could it be... That owl court, which adults used to talk about when I was a kid? That one... Unbounded urban weirdness? ”

Oswald and Ivy also reacted immediately, exclaiming: "In that weird nursery rhyme, the owl court mentioned is actually true? ”

As for Wayn, he didn't grow up in Gotham, so he didn't know the well-known nursery rhyme.

Joseph also immediately knew what the nursery rhymes everyone was talking about.

He whispered, "Watch out for the Owl Court, which keeps an eye on your travels. A peek into Gotham from the shadows... Not! ”

Bruce covered Joseph's mouth and said, "Don't read it, I've heard enough of this damn nursery rhyme today!" ”

Joseph slapped Bruce's hand away and said without showing weakness, "What? Are you scared out of this group of guys who are not ghosts or ghosts? ”

Bruce squinted at Joseph and said, "Aren't people ghosts or ghosts?" I think that's a better term for you. ”

"Enough!" Depp interrupted their children's quarrel and said, "I think the owl court will definitely not give up, and when it goes down at night again, maybe it's time for them to regroup and act again." And now, they're in the dark, we're in the light, and that's not a good sign! ”

Bruce said helplessly: "But now we don't have any clues about them at all, we don't even know who their members are, let alone where their base camp is." ”

"What about the claws?" Depp asked, "Have you interrogated those talons?" Especially the guy named William Cobb. ”

Bruce shook his head and said with some regret, "I have interrogated all the guys who are still alive, and none of them will say anything, and I doubt they will know!" ”

"I want to... After you interrogate them, they all choose to kill themselves. ”

"That's right, after those guys cut themselves off, I don't know why they still lost the ability to regenerate, and they really can't die anymore."

Bruce said, "Except for that guy named William Cobb!" But when I tried everything I could to interrogate him, I could only come to one conclusion. Those claws are only awakened when they need to carry out their mission, and then they are immediately dispatched, and they don't even know where they are sleeping. ”

Depp thought for a moment and asked, "Did William Cobb say anything that made a special impression on them when they were asleep?" ”

Bruce replied, "Yes, there should be, I remember him saying that while he was asleep, he felt the cold, the extreme cold. ”

Chilly...

Depp thought for a moment, and immediately thought of something, and said: "The cold can inhibit the self-healing ability of the claws, maybe after they complete the task, the owl court will also use the low temperature to let them sleep somewhere, waiting for the thaw to be resurrected in the future." ”

"That sounds reasonable, but what does it have to do with where the Owl Court is based?" Joseph said in a tone of kidney deficiency.

Subsequently, the clown personality prevailed, and he pointed to his nose, as if to insult Joseph:

"You idiot, don't you see it yet? Freezing is key, but I can't say too much about it now, after all...."

"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. ”

After all, the clown followed Joseph's words and told the nursery rhyme in its entirety.

"They seem to be everywhere, so they can't be said too clearly, understand?"

I have to say that after turning into a clown form, Joseph is the same as before in terms of combat power and brain.

Bruce and Depp glanced at each other, and after smiling at each other, they both turned their heads at the same time and looked at one person.

Mr. Freeze, Victor Fries.

If the claws are asleep and awakened, they need to be frozen and thawed.

Then there are few people in Gotham, and even in the United States, who can be more professional than Victor!

Therefore, Depp and Bruce suspect at the same time that the Owl Court is likely to have nothing to do with Victor's control, and Depp Cryonics has nothing to do with the Life Science Research Institute.

If not overtly, it is a company secretly manipulated by the Owl Court and has business dealings with it.

After all, the human body harmless freezing and thawing technology launched by Victor is not a big road commodity that can be bought anywhere.

The only one in the United States, the Owl Court, there's no reason not to be tempted!

After all, the number of claws is limited, and if every time it is frozen and thawed, it will affect its essence and combat power, and then the gains outweigh the losses.

So, there's a good chance they've ever bought cryonics equipment from Victor.

Now, what they need to do is to find out all the individuals and companies that do business with DP Cryonics and Life Sciences.

Then one by one, analyze and monitor.

Once you've identified some of the guys involved in the Owl Court, move on to the next step.

"Alright guys." Depp said: "I think you can go home and have a good rest, and this afternoon, I will tell you what you need to monitor." ”

"But we don't know what the hell is going on now!" Harvey said with some concern.

As soon as he finished speaking, the clown flashed, and his pointed nose was close to Joseph's eyes.

The clown put his finger in front of his big mouth with a seeming smile at that moment, and said, "Shhh ”
