He stood on the roof of a skyscraper, the sleepless city lit up everywhere beneath his feet, and he could see the neon blossoms in the night, staining the thick heat from the manhole cover beside the roadside.It's an early spring night, and the bustling city is full of smog, and in the slightly cold wind, you can smell the smell of industrial exhaust and wastewater.What I see in my eyes is a glow and wine made of wealth, prestige, and power, and I am drunk with money.But in the farther darkness, in the hardest sight to see—perhaps in a dim alley with garbage cans, perhaps in a sewer where a homeless man is hiding, perhaps under an overpass where gangs gather.The guns and corpses that were discarded indiscriminately, the weird laughs and screams in the darkness, the black dried bloodstains told those who came here all the time that beneath the glossy exterior of the city was boundless sin and madness, and anyone who despised it would be mercilessly swallowed up.Where is this?
Perhaps it is only necessary to quietly listen to the descriptions of the citizens and someone will be able to guess.The inhabitants of the city like to describe the city by their familiar villain names.Some people say it's like a killer crocodile, because it's always in the dark, engulfing people so violently that there is not even a bit of bone dregs left, maybe just a splash or bubble, but no one cares.Some people say that it is like a two-faced person, because of its ruthless choice, whether it is good or evil, or order and chaos, it rotates wildly all the time, and fate is like a coin, constantly being tossed and falling, making people involuntarily.Some people say it's like a scarecrow, because no matter what kind of dreams you have before, it will suddenly turn into a nightmare, and dig out the deepest fears of people, until you go crazy, drive people crazy, and finally leave your saliva and wander the streets and alleys.Some say it's like a clown, because of this city, it's simply crazy!
Haha, ha, hahahaha!
Of course, there is a high probability that the next moment this citizen will burst out, stick a pencil or fork into the outsider's eyeball, and then open his big ignorant eyes and stretch his neck to ask curiously about the convulsive corpse."
Why is it so serious?"
As a visitor from another world, he didn't have to ask any of the inhabitants, he just looked up and watched the bright pillars of light in the night leave bat-like spots of light in the clouds, and he knew where he was."
Gotham," he muttered.In the next moment, a sudden heavy rain drowned his figure.The gray rain with a faint sour smell obscured everything that had been seen and heard before, and covered up all the sins, and only the sound of the noise could be heard, and the coldness from the heart could be felt.But the cold didn't come from the rain, he was fully armed, both his head and his body were covered by fine metal armor.The full-coverage mask helmet, the whole body from the neck down is wrapped in fine chain mail, and the chest, shoulders, and limbs are covered with another layer of armor-like shoulder pads, all of which tells him that at this moment, he is no longer an ordinary person.He was an ordinary person who lived a simple life that was not worth mentioning.He is not the kind of person who is tall and strong, and has a deterrent effect at a glance, but he is young and has some blood and courage."
What about the process?
Why am I here?
I don't remember. ”He reached out to hold his forehead, but the thick tactical gloves completely cut off the touch and temperature of the helmet.Indeed, as a young man, things like crossing have been seen in various literary and artistic works.In it, he has seen the computer explosion crossing, the eating choking crossing, crossing the road to save people being hit and crossing, and the toilet falling into the toilet, but why is he?
He looked into the distance through the rain curtain, trying to take his attention off the bat sign, just staring blankly at the dark clouds in the sky, trying to remember.The neon lights on countless tall buildings became hazy in the rain and fog, and everything was so unreal.All he remembers coming home from work was that he coped with a call from a junior high school classmate inviting him to a wedding.And then you played with the computer?
A worn-out laptop makes a tractor-like sound when pressed on the power supply.Yes, he likes those fantasy worlds, so that he can always forget the monotony of life in reality for a while.There was no explosion in my memory, no strange lights and sounds, just that I felt like I was here, standing on the rooftop of Wayne Building, the tallest in Gotham City, and the evening breeze was blowing inexplicably.He'd been standing in a daze for five minutes in this damn place, and as he came to terms with the fact, he was at a loss.As for who he is, he knew it after realizing that he had traveled to the DC universe, and it was boring to be on duty at night, he watched a lot, and later became obsessed with American comics.Because even a little security guard like him has heard other young people in the unit talk about "Avengers 2 is good-looking", or "Guardians of the Galaxy is interesting", and some female colleagues say things like "Dundong King, Iron Man Junior" and so on.He didn't understand at first.In order to have a common topic and have a good relationship with his colleagues, he first made up a movie on a broken computer, and he thought it was good, and American blockbusters were exciting.After that, he took advantage of the work to rub Xiaobai in the unit, but after watching too much, he even remembered the names and abilities of hundreds of heroes and villains, as well as the important stories they participated in.Although I just read a comic with a Chinese version.,But that's enough to talk nonsense with colleagues.。
At this time, his helmet only had a view to the left, and he lowered his head to look at the small puddle that had formed under his feet, and in the circle of ripples, he could just see his current appearance.The black and yellow half-half metal helmet is shaped like an ice hockey mask, with two slender cloth bands flying in the wind and rain behind the head, like Rambo's headband, the left eye on the mask is a red diamond-shaped eyepiece, and the right half of the mask is completely black without a slit.He became the death knell.His real name is Slade Joseph Wilson, one of the greatest mercenaries and assassins in the DC Universe, a master of strategy and tactics, a master of fighting, and a master of all weapons.Originally, he was a modified person from the United States, with a brain development level of 90, which was a little worse than the heroine of "Super Body"; There is also the ability to break through the peak of human physical fitness and heal most wounds.Later, because the commander betrayed his friend, his friend was captured by the enemy, although Deathstroke rescued his comrades and fought his way out of the siege, but it was inevitable that he fell out with the military, causing him to become a mercenary, using his super powers to do some dirty work and eat with his food.The point is that he inherited everything about the death knell, except for memorization, of course, at least physical memory such as English, driving, and using firearms, which he learned for free.He was like an outsider, looking at himself constantly shaking on the water from the perspective of a third person, and now he knew everything about the death knell from the comics.In fact, at the beginning, he was quite happy to find out that he had become a person with super powers.It's good to become a death knell, in the case of preparation and planning, don't be afraid of anyone, even against a DC son like Batman, there is a more than fifty percent win rate.When he was the villain, he beat Robin and the teenage Titan, and in the recently whitewashed new 52 comics, he fought hand-to-hand with Wonder Woman, without kryptonite, and escaped from Superman's hands.However, after the initial excitement, he became stressed.Why?
Because Deathstroke is a mercenary, doing things for money, no matter what.Therefore, no matter what world it is, I have offended almost all the superheroes and supervillains in the DC universe to help the penguin man deal with the two-faced man, help the two-faced man deal with the black mask, help the black mask deal with the penguin man, and from time to time accept the task of dealing with various superheroes.In Knell's view, there is no difference between a superhero and a supervillain, just employers and targets, they are all human beings.No matter who gives them tasks, they just have to make money."
It's troublesome" His name before crossing was Su Ming, and the teachers of the unit called him Xiao Ming, every time he was called like this, he always felt that he had made a lot of mistakes.For example, he didn't wash his hands before eating, didn't look at the traffic light when crossing the street, was late for class, etc., anyway, he must have made mistakes in the primary school textbooks."
First of all, we have to determine which parallel universe of DC this is, and then determine the timeline and where the story goes."
He sighed and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but the mask stopped him: "There are many worlds of Gotham and Batman in the DC universe, if it is a movie universe, the upper limit of the world's abilities is not very high, and in the recent new "Justice League" movie, Steppenwolf was beaten like a doll.But if it's a comic universe, no matter which one it is, the danger is greatly increased"" Earth 0, the main world of the new 52 comics; Earth 3, a world where the identities of all heroes and villains are reversed; Earth 10, a world ruled by nazi; Earth 38, the initial world of DC Comics" Su Ming wiped his clothes, and now he feels very cold, and his whole person is soaked in water.But he has never felt that his brain is so clear-minded, and he once only glanced at the comic book world setting, and he can actually recall it completely, because of the super brain of the death knell?
But memories should be brought by one's own soul, right?
Now this body is full of explosive power, which has never been felt before, and it seems that it is possessed by a soul, which is the original body of Death Knell.The problem is that although Knell has the ability to heal itself, this ability is not strong enough to restore a severed limb, so his right eye is always blind.When the high-speed regeneration takes effect, it will also consume a lot of his stamina, and even make him lose his mind.Knell's age is in his fifties, his sons and daughters are going to be superheroes, and they want to kill him at any time, and there is an immortal father, a supervillain with telekinesis, who also wants to kill him.Fortunately, he was strong enough that they couldn't kill him."
I am a young man in his twenties, and he has finally had a family in his fifties, but the relationship is not very good" Su Ming shook his head helplessly, Knell has strong ability and intelligence, but it is obviously a lack of emotional intelligence."
Anyway, why did he come here before, did he receive any task?
Heavily armed, it should be planning something. ”Su Ming gave up and thought about it again, although his current body was a strengthened person, but habit still made him want to find a place to hide from the rain, not only because the rain in early spring was too cold, but also because the industrial pollution in Gotham was too serious, and the rain had a disgusting and sour smell that he had never felt before.Leaving the edge of the building, he turned his head to leave, although he carried an umbrella bag, but he still took the stairs, paragliding had never been played, and it would be funny if he fell to his death.The world-famous mercenary committed suicide by jumping off a building in Gotham City last night, suspected to be related to his emotional entanglement with Batman. ’Su Ming had already imagined that if he fell to his death, the front page of tomorrow's "Gotham Daily" would definitely be this, and he didn't want to die yet, even if he crossed a dangerous world, he didn't want to die.Not to mention, he is a pure straight man, although he does not discriminate against clowns and bats to show affection every day, but he doesn't want to be involved at all.
