It's a big woodland, but it's ghostly, especially at night, and the black branches are like strange hands, posing suspiciously, which is perfect for a horror movie.The ground is covered with thick fallen leaves, and the trees rustle when stepped on, and the trees here look like this in the summer because of the snowfall around the world.Not far away is the manor, which looks brightly lit at this time, and if you listen closely, you can hear the sound of music."
How could anyone live here?"
Barry, who was stuffing chocolate into his mouth to replenish his energy, looked around, and he saw a small van in the courtyard of the manor, which was in tatters, and the road outside the manor was also potholed: "Whether you go to Happy Town or Providence here, there are dozens of kilometers of mountain roads, and it is estimated that it is difficult to even purchase ingredients when you live here." ”If you live in a small town in the United States, such as a rancher or rancher, they are often used to driving a pickup truck to the town to buy and have an oversized refrigerator at home to store food.If you have a manor, you can't talk about life so far away from the city.There is no sign of planting or breeding here, and it is a high-end villa similar to that of Wayne's mansion."
If you want to hide from the eyes of the world, this is certainly a good place."
Su Ming stretched out his hand and pushed the iron gate of the manor, the tall black door opened silently, and the fallen leaves on the ground were still carried by the wind: "Not everyone is suitable for living in the city, and this place is more like a shelter." ”As he spoke, he walked into the manor and surveyed the three-story building.The building is very complete, it seems that the sinking of the earth has not damaged the buildings here, but it seems that no one has ever cleaned the courtyard, and the fallen leaves and debris in the yard can be seen everywhere, and there is even a slightly deflated basketball, which is casually thrown in the fountain in front of the villa.The beautiful stone fountain was out of water, and there were several dead birds in it that were hidden by the leaves, and I don't know if they had frozen to death before."
It's weird here."
The Eagle Girl always carries her hammer in her hand, and she follows behind Deathbell: "Just looking at the lights and listening to the music, you will feel that it is very warm here."
But the building as a whole feels more like an Arkham asylum. ”The music is played on a jukebox, typical blues music, with a somewhat nostalgic flavor."
Arkham is a sanatorium."
Barry corrected himself, and he looked at the porch with patients, maybe one day they could be cured, like Hallie. ”"No one can say if Harley Quinn is really recovered, or if she's even more insane."
The Eagle Girl glanced at Death Knell, hesitated, and said, "Slade, I'm not going to target her, but you'd better be careful." ”"I don't think so."
The Flash hugged his arms and waited for the death knell to knock on the door: "Hallie is a good person now, I've been with her many times, she really wants to be a superhero." ”"But what will happen when she gets tired of playing hero games?"
Hawkgirl shook her head, she felt that both Deathstroke and Barry had been deceived by the Mad Woman, including the rest of the Justice League.Su Ming raised his hand and knocked on the door speechlessly, it doesn't matter what is the situation with Harley, whether she is crazy or not, and from what angle to look at.If everyone is now running to Middle-earth to race with the Ringing Spirits, if this fact were to be said, people who have read Tolkien's original books will surely think that the person who said this is also crazy, right?
The knocker knocked on the door, and after ten seconds, footsteps sounded inside the door, and the person who opened the door was a very beautiful young woman.It's just that she is dressed a little strangely, with a poster girl hairstyle from the thirties and forties of the last century, a floral dress in the old style from decades ago, and a flaming red lipstick on her lipstick.She seems to have stepped down from a World War II-era recruitment poster."
Deathknell?!"
In the DC universe, there is this benefit, Su Ming never has to introduce himself, as long as this armor is seen, the other party will be shocked to recognize him.Of course, strangers often mistake him for some other death knell."
Hello, Rita, I'm here to visit the Chief, is he at home?
It would be even better if our friend Cyborg was here. ”Su Ming stepped into the house without the invitation of his master, and bluntly said what he needed.The black and yellow armor on his body also squirmed and deformed in an instant, turning into a very chic long coat and suit.Rita Farr, a Hollywood star from decades ago, was affected by a marvelous volcanic ash while filming in Africa and turned into a rubber man.When she was emotional or exposed to high temperatures, she would lose control of her body and become a puddle of mud, so she had to quit the film industry and live in seclusion.Later, he was invited by the chief to come to this hermitage villa specially prepared for people with superpowers on the fringes of society, and by the way, he joined the team of poor people - Doomsday Patrol, now codenamed Elastic Girl.She's probably in her eighties this year, and it's a bit strange to be codenamed Girl, but who isn't a little princess anymore?
Besides, as long as she doesn't get emotional, she looks like a big beauty in her twenties.In addition, she is also the adoptive mother of the Beast Kid.It's a pity that she doesn't want to be excited, after all, her adopted son has often died at the hands of another death knell in the past.Because of the mood swings, the skin on her face instantly drooped as if melting, and it hung down to her chest, and her face became a face pocket."
Don't be nervous, Stretch Girl, we have no ill will."
Xiao Shan immediately got into the door and patted the lightning sign on his chest to reassure Deathbell: "He is not the Death Penalty you know, but a friend of our Justice League, don't be afraid, I apologize to you." ”"WooooooListening to Barry's words, the woman suddenly cried, and she covered her face and ran away.Flash's head scratched speechlessly, he looked at Deathstroke, who was looking at him with a disgusted look of 'you made the lady cry': "Don't blame me, although I know that the Doom Patrol is quite repulsive to Zhenglian, but I didn't expect people to even want to talk to us." ”The members of the Doomsday Patrol are more or less physically disabled, and they have also experienced a lot of tragic pasts, and it can be said that they are scarred inside, and they all have depression, but they have to force a smile.In the past, when they needed help, they didn't get any help, and when they needed it, they didn't get any comfort.This team is an organization that keeps them warm to each other, more like a support group for psychological disorders, not like a superhero squad, although they also do some heroic behavior, but they have more anti-hero traits.For example, superheroes don't commit suicide, but almost everyone on the Doom Patrol has tried to commit suicide dozens of times.Such marginal characters, seeing the members of Zhenglian will only trigger an inferiority complex, the more you treat them specially, the more it will make them feel inferior, and the beast boy is an example of using the external performance of comic to cover up the inferiority complex in his heart.Barry was so gentle that Rita thought the Flash thought she was disabled, and showed mercy for it.That's why she's sad, she just wants to be treated like an ordinary person by others, even if it's beating and scolding her, it's better than pitying her.
