Chapter 2249: Spreading the Light


The United States is known as a country on wheels, with almost every household having at least one car, and a driver's license has become a form of identification that allows for passage through the entire Commonwealth.The Department of Transportation and Transportation may sound like an ordinary traffic department, but in this country, it can be seen as a household registration department.If you want to find one person out of 8 million people but you can't start, it is recommended to check the driver's license system first, and then check the social security system if you can't find it, because the former has a lower degree of confidentiality, and even if you don't use gray means, you can find all kinds of reasons to check it by hiring a lawyer.Of course, Su Ming doesn't need to take the information in the database like this.The process went so smoothly that there wasn't even a single security guard here tonight, and even the sirens were destroyed by the freeze before.The next victim is Jean Paul, the 'Angel of Death' on this earth, and according to the timeline information provided by Gideon, this madman will kill Gordon in the future, maim Barbara, blow up the city, and use it to make Batman go on a killing spree.Of course, that was before Su Ming intervened, because in the original timeline, Jack would turn back into a clown tonight, and once again escape from the Black Gate Prison, where he was temporarily held, pretending to be God to make Paul a madman.Now without the Joker's inducement, things could have turned out very differently.But Su Ming still didn't plan to let Paul live, because the reason for his hostility with Bruce Wayne came from the grudge between the two families over the past two hundred years, and as long as he learned everything that happened in the past, whether there were clowns or not, he would go crazy.To put it simply, his family ancestor was also one of the founders who founded Gotham, but then the Wayne family's ancestors killed the man and took everything from their family.Paul of this world is a Vietnam veteran who has suffered severe sequelae from exposure to chemical and biological weapons, including cancer, and now has only six months to live.He was old, poor, and miserable, living on government and church handouts.In the original timeline, after the Joker hypnotizes him by telling him part of the truth, the angry veteran becomes a killing machine.Because it's so unfair, why does Bruce Wayne enjoy everything his ancestors took from his own ancestors, while he himself doesn't even look down on his illness?

Discriminated against at every turn?

Although he has been retired from the army for a long time, his killing skills have not fallen at all, his body is much taller than the Angel of Death in the main world, more than two meters tall, and his whole body is full of tendon flesh, like a humanoid bear, which can pinch and explode a human head with his hands.And the faith in God in his heart turned him into a fanatical madman, and with the support of his faith, he was able to shield himself from all sickness and suffering, and focus on the task given to him by God - to purify Gotham.It is enough to have a laughing bat in the multiverse, and Su Ming doesn't want the Batman on this earth to start killing from the Angel of Death.So, the solution is to preemptively kill Jean Paul himself, so that Batman has no one to kill.As for whether it is appropriate to sentence a person to death for something that did not happen?

Please, Knell is not a superhero, and he knows a lot about the inertia of the world, and it is safest to kill people, so just do it.And killing Paul has another advantage, as long as the scene is arranged in a mystery, then Batman will definitely be aroused and will not follow everyone to Earth 0, perfectly separating him from Jack."

Huh!""

Oh, I found it, let me see where our prey nest is."

In the central district, south of the city, there is a quieter community, and because this is the back of the penguin territory, there are no violent street clashes.After all, Penguin is a businessman, and if "Bloody Street" is always staged in the turf, it will not be good for business.The buildings in this neighborhood are old, including a church that has been built for an unknown number of years, although the city was spared by the events of the Frozen City.But then the snow melted during that brief period of daylight, and the city's streets faced serious drainage challenges, and all the ice and snow melt from other urban areas flowed to the lower ground.In the middle of the night, there are still lights in the church, and an old man with gray hair is holding a mop, quietly cleaning the water stains from the floor, and not long ago the street is like a tsunami, and a lot of sewage has climbed the steps, crossed the threshold, and flowed into the temple of the Lord.This is not a problem, it must be cleaned overnight.The church was full of water, and he even forgot how many buckets of sewage he had emptied up, and his heart was humble and calm with only the thought of serving God.The tiny pool of water glowed with candlelight, gently swaying on the red wooden floor, like mellow 'god's blood', until the mop quickly wiped it out and sucked it dry.Jean Paul straightened up and gasped for breath, the advanced stage of bone cancer did not affect his work at the cleaning company too much, but it was always painful."

Jean, how do you feel?"

With the sound of slippery contact between his shoes and the floor, the priest stepped out of the side ashram and stood under the cross, asking his old friend with concern."

I don't think prayer helps, Father."

Paul shook his head with a blank face as he leaned on the mop pole: "Even though my heart calls on the name of God, my whole body hurts terribly. ”"Doesn't sound like good news, maybe you should go to the hospital."

The priest is not a fanatic, and the history of the Church instructing the sick to drink holy water for healing is long gone."

It's useless, I only have six months left, and if I have chemotherapy, I might be able to last a year?

Who knows. ”The old man continued to bow his head and twist the mop in the bucket, but the green tendons on his arms made him not look as calm as his tone appeared: "But I don't have enough money, and if I have money, I won't go to the hospital to waste it, I'd rather die in the light of the Lord and use my savings and strength to add glory to him." ”The black-clad priest opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he changed his words significantly: "I'm sorry to hear this, let's, maybe you can go home early and rest?"

You know, there's no need to wipe it that clean, wait until sunrise tomorrow and everything will fall into its place. ”"You go home and rest first, mopping the floor can help me concentrate, but it will be better to ignore the pain."

The old man went back to work, using his mop to pick up another stain: "Perhaps it will help me to make a good impression on my lord, so that when I see him, he will ignore the dirty things I have done in the past." ”"That's war, you just obey orders."

The priest had become accustomed to the stubbornness of this believer, and when he heard him revisit the past, he couldn't help but speak out.Paul raised his head and smiled wryly, he shook his head a little tiredly: "I killed more than 100,000 people with biological and chemical weapons in the Vietnam War, it was not as simple as obeying orders" "Man is born sinful, and my Lord is forgiving and merciful, and you have received the Lord's forgiveness." ”The priest drew a cross on his chest, and the rosary made a gentle collision in the candlelight.The old man walked to the bathroom with a bucket of water, and walked staggeringly, but soon left the range of the candlelight, and his voice came from the shadows: "I think my fate is retribution, and it must be that my sins have not been atoned for." ”The priest hesitated for a moment, stopped him loudly, closed his eyes and struggled for a moment, and then said, "You know that our family has always been connected, right?"

Do I have a big secret about you, about Gotham?

Maybe you can do something that will be more remembered by God, sweeping away the darkness of Gotham like mopping the floor and letting the light of the Lord shine here?

”Paul put down the bucket in his hand, tore off the towel from his shoulder and wiped his hands, his eyes shining with fanatical brilliance: "Tell me how to spread the light of the Lord, maybe I, the dying man, can do something meaningful." ”
