Two men lead the way, three combat-neutral men follow, Barbara holding her laptop, Vico grabbing the microphone, and Pete carrying the camera with a pale face, following last.
Look at his staggering steps, his expression sluggish, like a zombie on a rainy night.
Su Ming felt that this was a bad omen, as if it was a sign that a bunch of human-eating monsters would emerge when he and the others opened the underground research institute.
He drew his two knives and slashed twice at the wire wall, the sparks flashed in the rain, and he drew an X-shape, and then he bent the wires to form a hole for a wheelchair to pass through, and carried Barbara over first.
Barbara smiled nervously at him, then turned her attention back to her dark surroundings.
Scrap cars are empty shells of vehicles that have been stripped of their engines, spark plugs, batteries, or anything of value, and then piled up like corpses by humans, forming hills.
In the darkness of the night, the shadows of these black hills occupied every direction around them, and no matter what angle they had, they looked exactly the same in the distance.
Neither Barbara nor Vico nor Pete had ever been in such a remote place in the middle of the night.
Any Gotham person knows what's in the dark, but some people take the initiative to pursue it, and some people avoid it.
Su Ming keenly felt that someone was watching him, he looked up, and found a wanderer in the abandoned car not far away, she was observing himself and others from the empty cab, through the non-existent car window.
He didn't think about it until the woman started making strange noises.
"Goo-goo-goo" "Bang!"
Su Ming immediately raised his hand and shot it, which stunned Barbara and them, this killing people without warning, is this the original face of the death knell in the mission?
However, the shot that seemed to them must have been dodged by the strange woman in an uncanny position, and she shrank her neck down like a boneless creature, her head as if it were retracted into her body, and the bullet slashed across her head.
When she reappears from the abandoned car, the original form of the wanderer has changed to a masked man wearing round glasses.
She jumped out of the scrap car and onto the roof, dressed in a black leather uniform with gold ornamentation and unfashionable lace, like the medieval dress worn by aristocrats.
The round glasses on his head were like the eyes of an owl, looking at Su Ming and his party condescendingly.
"Protect them."
Su Ming dropped a sentence, pulled out his double knives and jumped onto the scrap car on the side, and quietly opposed this strange man.
"I always thought their existence was just a legend" Cindy also drew her weapon and stood in front of several people, "It seems that just like Sue said, Gotham hides too many secrets. ” Vico, of course, would not pass up such an opportunity, and she immediately instructed Pete to hold up a small piece of the sky for her with a poncho, and took out her own small notebook, which she planned to record with the light of the camera.
"So Miss Cindy, you seem to know the masked man on the other side, can you explain her identity to us?"
Cindy glanced at her, she knew that the people Su Ming was carrying should not be simple characters in parallel universes, but here, Vico was just an ordinary person, and excess curiosity would inevitably kill her.
"You just need to know that they are the killers of a very old force in Gotham, and if you know too much, you will really die."
"It's okay, as a journalist, I have long been mentally prepared, please tell me and tell the citizens the truth!"
Unexpectedly, the threat of death seemed to touch Vico's switch, she immediately flushed, asked excitedly, pursed her lips vigorously, her eyes were wide open, and her pupils were full of excitement.
Cindy shook her head, not sure if she agreed or what she meant, she recited a nursery rhyme that was so popular in Gotham that decades ago it was read by any child playing on the road.
"Watch out for the Owl Court, which keeps an eye on your travels.
A peek into Gotham City from the shadows, tucked away on top of a low-walled attic.
It's with you at home, hide under the bed and it's with you.
Don't say its name, the claws will rip your neck apart. ” Vico was stunned for a moment, but the reporter's keen sense of smell made her write down this passage, and if she had the chance, she planned to study the history of Gotham, and maybe find something.
Su Ming was the first to react, as a traverser, in Gotham, a city of bats, in the midst of this storm, he heard the cooing of owls and realized that something was wrong.
The woman, disguised as a wanderer, is the Assassin of the Court of Owls, Talon.
Until Su Ming crossed over, DC Comics still did not explain the details of the mysterious organization of the Owl Court, he only knew that it was an alliance formed by the oldest families of Gotham, and it had been influencing Gotham through various means.
No one knows who they are, and all members wear white night owl masks and a unique ring as a token.
Talon were the assassins they had trained to take out the dissidents in the city.
Before the gang came to power, after the four major families, Gotham actually experienced a short period of the Owl Court rule, but because of the struggle for power, disputes broke out among them and suffered heavy losses.
Falcone and other gangsters won the power and drove the owls back into hiding in the dark.
Maybe Bat or Falcone would know this level of information, but Su Ming knew more information from another world.
Their origins are actually much earlier, dating back to the Stone Age of humans, with the Bird Tribe, the Wolf Tribe, the Bear Tribe, and the Bat Tribe, which are considered to be the origin of European civilization in the DC Universe.
Batman is a descendant of the Bat Tribe, and the Owl Court is from the Bird Tribe.
The most important thing is that the members of the Owl Court, all of whom have been brainwashed and controlled by the priests of the Owl Chihu, all of whom are in dreams, swear unconditional allegiance to the dark minions of the dark god Barbatos.
In a way, Barbatos is the bat god of the dark multiverse, the dark dragon, the only true god, and they are not wrong.
It's a pity that this god only wants to play with the bright universe, and doesn't care much about his own followers, just as a tool that will be thrown away when he runs out.
But this is not an excuse for Su Ming to relax, the claws appear here, and the court will soon know, and Barbatos will soon know!
At that time, the danger will rise at a crazy rate.

Su Ming had to leave this talon here as much as possible to delay the owl court's knowledge.
