"This is my city, so do as I say."
It's been a quiet day for Gotham, and although it's still raining acid in the night sky and the bat lights are still on under the clouds, it doesn't stop people from having some fun.As it approaches midnight, fireworks go off in the city, and people take to the streets, laughing and smiling into nightclubs to drink good wine.It was a celebration that was a few days late, mainly to celebrate the last time the townspeople survived from a horde of capitalist's killer robots.Well, in fact, there are similar celebrations almost every time, there is a celebration after defeating Barbatos, there is a celebration after defeating the alien sea god, in short, every time after the Gotham Apocalypse, the survivors will celebrate.And the city will be like a flower on a mass grave, the more people die, the more delicate it will be because it is well nourished.Don't get me wrong, the citizens are not holding a celebration ceremony to congratulate the Justice League on defeating the enemy, but only for themselves, on the one hand, to celebrate that they have survived, and on the other hand, to be happy for the legacy of the dead that they have swallowed.The heritage is diverse, and almost every survivor can benefit.For example, on ordinary days, an ordinary man can only peek at the beautiful wife next door through a cat's eye, she is so perfect that just peeking at it feels like offending the goddess, how can an ordinary man be worthy of her?
But after the disaster, things were different, her husband died, almost everyone in the apartment died, and the ordinary man searched the homes of the dead as quickly as he could, and now all the wealth in a building was concentrated in his hands.And in Gotham, money is strength, and now he can be completely worthy of a beauty, and he can even do whatever he wants with her.It sounds a bit mean and dark, but who doesn't have a desire to have that?
When ready-made wealth is placed in the broken ruins of a family's open door, and gold and jewels can even be seen in the firelight with the naked eye; When you know that Batman is simply too busy to notice the inconspicuous you; When the scent of the best woman, who you couldn't reach in the past, came from behind the thin door panel of the next room and penetrated into your nostrils, and she cried and begged you to help her......
No one can bear it, there will only be one voice in people's hearts repeating a sentence, maybe the language will be different, but the general meaning is the same, that is, I want.The depravity and madness of ordinary people only need a gentle push, and disasters and big events are one of the best pushes.People love opportunities, human nature is so greedy, when a big choice comes, people will have a faster heartbeat, red faces, feel the sound of the wheel of fate pressing over their heads, and thus obey biological instincts and choose the option that is most beneficial to them.Of course, there are a lot of noble people on the planet, but not in Gotham, a simple city with the same simple .......
Batman watched with a blank face as Mayor Nakano in the city square spoke, the mayor who was rescued by Death Knell last time still had a plaster on his arm, but he also seemed to be happy, probably the politicians who usually held him back also died.After Mr.
Mayor announces the start of the celebration and the music overcomes the rain, Batman says the same words to his teammates.Superman, Jon, Greenlight, they all want to solve the problem, they are very active in wanting to get started, and from the moment they arrive in Gotham, they urge Batman to assign tasks.But the dark man didn't pay any attention to them, but led everyone to the roof of the police station, where he looked at the city square not far away, as if waiting for something.He didn't fully trust the information given by Deathstroke, but he also knew the power of the chameleon, and he had to re-examine everyone and take the time to observe their every move and words, including his teammates.Like he said, this is his city, and it has to be played by him."
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what the hell can we do?
No, what did you bring us here to figure out?
”Guy is a grumpy man, he rarely acts with Batman, and it can even be said that he doesn't get along at all: "Phew, this city is as stinky as this rain." ”He spat out, because the acid rain took advantage of his speech and burrowed into his mouth, making his tongue tingle."
To put it simply, Batman can't believe Deathstroke, he suspects that Death Bell killed that person."
Green Arrow is accustomed to this urban atmosphere, and he has one foot on the low fence of the rooftop, holding his ex-wife in the crook of his arm: "So he wants to find someone he can trust, and re-examine the whole eucalyptus......
Well, beyond that, I don't really understand why he spent an hour taking us to stand here and watch this madman celebration. ”For Green Arrow, Gotham is a bit like Star City, but the latter isn't so crazy, as he can clearly hear gunshots and bazooka fires in the fireworks, which is not like the traditional fireworks used in carnival parades.Batman didn't answer them, just his gaze swept over the crowd from behind the mask, and then he pressed the ear under the helmet: "Tell me what you found." ”According to the observations made during this time, the teammates are all right and can take the next step."
I figured out we should go to the carnival too."
A young woman's voice came over the intercom, accompanied by her words that seemed to be complaining, and the sound of high-frequency tapping on the keyboard."
You're kidding, nothing good happens in Gotham at night."
Batman coldly dismisses the girl's jokes, as the Joker says, he is always too serious."
Hehe, okay, I listened to the police radio and hacked into the police station's surveillance system."
The girl is obviously used to Batman's habits, and she has long expected rejection: "The original monitoring is exactly the same as what Death Knell provided you, and it didn't do anything, as for how many robberies and murders happened in the city tonight, I don't think I need to tell you, you should already know." ”"Didn't you do anything.......
Batman's two corners of his mouth skimmed down, he didn't say much, but his expression already showed his thoughts, and the Dark Knight remembered an incident two months ago.Deathstroke from another world made a lot of money from himself, and later 90% of this money was transferred to Barbara, and Deathbell asked the girl to help him open a small investment company in Gotham, which is not right in any way."
Do you have any dark thoughts again?
Batman, darkness has always been one of the most powerful items in your arsenal, almost alongside fear. ”The girl asked, and she didn't understand why Batman had been suspicious of that death knell in the other world.You must know that among the many deathknells in parallel universes, that young man can already be regarded as a moral saint, he has helped the Justice League a lot, and even commanded everyone to carry out many life and death missions.But Batman didn't answer directly, but looked at the exploding fireworks that were still rising in the rain, all kinds of colored lights illuminated his face, and the words he said were evasive: "Gotham is not right tonight, I feel it, it's unusual." ”
