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 dim alleys where garbage cans are piled up, in the sewers where the homeless are hidden, or under the overpasses where the 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, living a simple life that was not worth mentioning, and on another earth, he was just one of the billions of people in a huge country, single, addicted to smoking, staying up late every day, with swollen bags under his eyes.
His schedule is completely opposite to ordinary people, during the day when everyone is working, he is sleeping, and at night when everyone else is sleeping with his wife or girlfriend in his arms, he patrols the unit with a flashlight, and the monotonous life of black and white makes him extremely numb at a young age, but the salary he gets is quite meager.
As an orphan, he did not receive a full education, and after the end of compulsory education, he had no money to go back to school.
After graduating from junior high school for a few years, I found that the old boy is not what he was in the movie at all, and now he has no sense of righteousness at all, he wants a proper job.
He has washed dishes, sold insurance, and delivered couriers, but they are all temporary workers, and he will lose his job in the off-season.
Fortunately, after the introduction of the kind neighbor aunt next door to the rental house, I showed people the warehouse at night in a certain iron and steel company, although the salary is not much, but it is said that I can mix a few years and become a regular employee.
Although he didn't know what the use of the establishment was, it should be a good thing to see that his aunt usually admired him so much in casual conversations, right?
He is not the kind of person who is tall and strong, and has a deterrent effect at a glance, but he is better than he is young, and he is still a little brave.
When he was still a troubled boy, he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he followed his eldest brother in his thirties to cover the field and fight in groups, and he basically never lost one-on-one.
As for one hit two, have you ever heard of two fists being defeated by four hands?
In fact, he didn't worry about encountering thieves, and his aunt said that as long as she could catch one, she would find someone to talk about it, this was a meritorious performance, and the establishment would be stable.
He knew that his aunt's daughter liked him, and his aunt also regarded him as a son-in-law, and usually called him with him when he ate, and helped him clean the rental house when he had time, and he was completely living as a family.
But the little sister is only thirteen years old, even if he used to be an old boy, he knows the law!
And in these years, there are still people who come to steal steel mills, it is no longer the era of stealing manhole covers, and steel is not worth much.
In recent years, the domestic steel market tends to be saturated, everywhere is the call to capacity, the products of each iron and steel enterprise are a big sale, only to sell to African countries to make money, this is the unit of the master told him.
"What about the process?
Why I'm 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 his best to take his attention off the bat sign, just staring blankly at the dark clouds in the sky, trying to remember that the neon lights on the countless tall buildings had become hazy in the rain and fog, and everything was so unreal.
He only remembers that when he came home from work, he coped with the call from his junior high school classmates inviting him to the wedding, and ate instant noodles casually, and he was reluctant to add ham sausages.
And then you played with the computer?
The worn-out notebook is just a second-hand item bought for a few hundred yuan, and when you press the power supply, it will make a tractor-like sound, and the screen is also scratched, but watching anime and movies after dinner is a habit he has developed over the years, and it is also the cheapest pastime for a poor person.
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 fifteen 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 the night shift, so he watched a lot of it, and later became obsessed with American comics.
Because even a small 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 secretly talk about things like "Shield Winter King, Iron Man Junior" and the like.
He didn't understand at first.
In order to have a common topic and facilitate a good relationship with his colleagues, he first made up the movie on the broken computer, and thought it was good, and American blockbusters were exciting.
Later, he took advantage of work to make up some comics in the unit, although at first he was a novice who couldn't tell the difference between Marvel and DC, but after reading more, 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 of the U.S. military, with a brain development level of 90, breaking through the peak physical fitness of human beings, and the ability to 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, he inherited everything from Deathknell, except for the most recent memories Of course, at least physical memory such as English, driving, and using firearms is free to learn.
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 scare anyone, even against a DC son like Batman, there is a fifty percent chance of winning.
As an old 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 retreated from Superman's hands. has a wife and a mistress, two sons and a daughter, and a good friend Holly is not the kind of superficial brother, very powerful.
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.
If Knell has any personal hobby, it's to hang the Green Arrow, and with his extraordinary reaction speed and fighting skills, he can catch the arrows flying in the air, and once the Green Arrow is approached by a weapon master like Death Knell, he has no power to fight back.
However, in the comics, they seem to have a relationship, Green Arrow and Black Canary got married, and Death Knell went to the wedding Of course, the world line of American comics is a mess, a different world, nothing is the same, not to mention the world of movies and TV series.
"It's troublesome now" He fumbled with his helmet, but he couldn't take it off for a long time, as if there was some hidden buckle that was fixed: "The comics didn't say how to take off the helmet, the armor of the death knell is made of promethium metal, and the chainsaw can't be sawed, if you go on like this, won't you starve to death?"
” By the way, his name before crossing was Su Ming, and the teachers of the unit called him Xiao Ming, and every time he was called that, 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.
"Do you have any tools to take your helmet off?"
Su Ming touched his body, Death Knell was a very professional mercenary, in addition to weapons, universal tools were also often carried on his body: "In the holster on the thigh are two pistols, point 45 caliber, and the fixed height is very convenient."
There are metal sticks and knives in the carrying gear behind the back, pistol magazines and grenades, cigars and matches on both sides of the waist of the shotgun, and hooks and daggers in the back, but where are the tools hidden?
” After fumbling for a while, he still gave up the plan to take off his helmet, at least he couldn't toss around here, and found a secluded place where no one was around.
"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, habitually wanting to smoke a cigarette as on Earth, 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 the Nazis; 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 can recall the comic book world setting that he once only glanced at, thanks to Knell's super brain.
Now this body is full of explosive power, which has never been felt before, it seems that it is possessed by a soul, this 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.
"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's ability and intelligence are very strong, but he is obviously lacking in 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, the wind in this place was still strange, although his body was now a death knell, 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.
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 himself does not want to be involved at all.
