It happened suddenly.

The advertising screens installed on the commercial street buildings all turned into snowflake screens in the next second, and then the TV channels being broadcast in the homes of Gotham citizens were cut off.

After the silence, all electronic screens returned to normal, with the same picture playing on them.

A girl with green eyes appeared on the electronic screen. She seemed to adjust the angle of the camera. When the entire screen appeared normal, she took two steps back and smiled.

There are hundreds of projection screens installed in high-rise buildings of large and small shops in commercial streets, and how many residents in the entire city are watching TV?

"How many people will be watching me?" Leona said to herself, "Batman hasn't come yet, so now is my time."

She looked at the camera and began to introduce herself: "Hello, residents of Gotham City, my name is Leona Brandt. You should think my face looks familiar. My wanted poster is often broadcast on the news during this time.

"

Leona's attitude was very polite. After she introduced herself, she suddenly thought that the old men in the conference room should also show their faces, so she turned the camera in a different direction.

"This is John Fred, the boss of Fred Industries, a major drug manufacturer in Gotham City. The drugs you use every day are basically manufactured by Fred Industries."

A fat, pale-faced middle-aged man sitting on a swivel chair appeared on street screens and TVs. He seemed to be trying to keep himself calm, but failed. His facial features were twisted together, and his expression was extremely frightened.

"As for the remaining ones..." Leona turned the camera to the remaining people on the board of directors, "They are not important characters, so I won't introduce them one by one. But actors in stage plays always have to show their faces.

, let the audience know what role they play in the script." She added, "——This is a script I wrote. Due to lack of time, the script was completed in a hurry, so you can make do with it. But I think it is happening here.

The story should be much more interesting than boring news and bloody soap operas."

"Because everyone here is acting in their true colors!"

The entire conference room is shown.

The place was in a mess, as if it had been bombed by artillery shells. Glass fragments were scattered all over the floor. Computers and paper forms were scattered on the conference table, and blood stains were spattered on the white pages.

Big men in suits and ties huddled together in horror.

The man with an injured hand tied his hand with his shirt to stop the bleeding. He looked a little delirious.

A corpse lay lying on the conference table, his eyes wide open, and the bullet hole on his forehead was terrifying.

"Maybe I should make a mosaic?" Leona said, "Mom and dad, please cover your children's eyes."

She cleared her throat and moved the camera back.

"This play is written and directed by Leona Brandt. The main actors are John Fred and all members of the Board of Directors of Fred Industries. The technical advisor is Lucius Fox, the president of Wayne Group. Special thanks for performing in this play.

Gotham Royal Hotel provided the venue!”

She raised her hands and pretended to applaud.

"Any police officer, any city vigilante, if you try to seize control of the communication projection system from me, so that my play cannot be performed smoothly...then, do you see the lying person clearly? That corpse

This is my response to you." Leona said, "Actually, it doesn't matter to me whether I kill that person or not, he is just an insignificant bug anyway. But I know that I must kill someone to show my danger.

To the extent, otherwise you wouldn’t take my threat to heart.”

"Just like Mr. Lucius, when I threatened him that I would kill someone, he refused to cooperate. But when I killed someone, he immediately obeyed me."

"This is a very simple, pure, and easy-to-solve matter. I hope you won't make it complicated. You can't stop me anyway, so you might as well cooperate with me. You also have to protect the people in this conference room, right?

? Normally I don’t kill people, so I’m warning you not to provoke me.”

"I announce that the show has begun!" Leona applauded again, "I will be the guest narration."

"The starting point of the story is Woking Watson Orphanage, where Dean Williams takes care of more than twenty homeless children..."

Agatha found her teeth chattering.

But not out of fear or shock or anything.

Her eyes were fixed on the TV screen, and the face on the screen was extremely familiar to her.

Williams died, the orphanage was blown up by mercenaries, and the surviving children were transferred to another better orphanage. The orphanage was still funded by the Wayne Group, but the director became an amiable old man.

Madam, Agatha no longer has to worry about being violated.

But her past experiences were like nightmares, haunting her and keeping her awake late at night.

Leona disappeared. Some people said that she was taken away by the police. There were rumors that Williams did not die from a drunken accident, but that he was killed by Leona. The wanted warrant broadcast on the news was evidence, and the police's reaction

This is further proven.

Everyone who had ever been with Leona was summoned to the police station for investigation. They questioned her and Angus carefully and asked if Leona had behaved unusually in any way at the orphanage.

Agatha responded in silence.

When she left the police station, she almost couldn't help but reveal the secret she had hidden in her heart for a long time.

But she endured it.

"...Some of the adult children in the orphanage will go to university to continue their studies, and some will leave the asylum to find some work. However, all the children who left the Watson Orphanage in Woking as adults have not been heard from. They are like disappearing from the world.

Same. Where did they go?"

Leona's voice reached Agatha's ears, and she clenched her fists uncontrollably.

——They are all dead.

Agatha's expression was distorted.

"They are all dead."

Leona said with a smile.

"It's your turn," Leona hit Fred on the shiny forehead with the handle of the gun, "tell me, Mr. Fred, tell me your crime and what you have done."

Fred was sobbing like a child, but that didn't make anyone feel sympathy for him.

"I conduct illegal human experiments... Experimental individuals come from various orphanages." Fred's lips trembled, "Woking Watson Orphanage is one of them. Drugs need to undergo clinical trials, and the company cannot find enough experimental individuals. In order to ensure

Regarding the safety of selling drugs, we can only..."

"Don't be pitiful, don't explain your behavior." Leona said pleasantly, "You just need to tell the facts and results."

Fred refused to speak any more.

Leona said: "Don't you know where to start? Then let me ask you - what is the mortality rate of orphans who serve as experimental individuals?"

"...One hundred percent." Fred felt like his mouth was out of control.

"What drugs are you experimenting with?" Leona asked.

"A new type of potent drug."

"Why do we need to develop drugs? What are the effects of drugs?"

"For money." Fred tried desperately to control his mouth, but his soul and body seemed to be completely separated. His soul could not control his body. The one who controlled his body was the little devil standing next to him.

"Drugs will produce strong sexual desire and hallucinogenic effects. Overdose will cause cardiovascular burst and death. Our den for selling drugs is Haley Park Bar in the Diamond District. There are always customers who are willing to try new drugs.

And it’s Penguin’s territory, and no one will suspect us. Fred Industries is a legal company, and we won’t openly sell drugs, so we found a partner, and Penguin is ours.

Partner."

Leona grabbed Fred's chin and forced him to look at the camera, "Go on, Fred, tell everything."

"...Please, please! I can't say any more, they will kill me!" Fred was horrified, and he suddenly could control his mouth again.

"Who will kill you, your partner?" Leona said mockingly, "Compared with them, you should worry more about me in front of you. It's because I'm so beautiful that you think I

Not as scary as your partner?"

"...Scarecrow," Fred said the name uncontrollably, "He helps us research new poisons."

"There are other things, Fred." Leona said, "Are you only doing the wrong things of buying and selling drugs, conducting human experiments, and colluding with Arkham criminals?"

Fred's tears and nose ran down together, and then he tremblingly told the crime of himself and the company's board of directors.

Planting a mole in the police station - that's for sure.

Bribing government officials - powerful people do this.

Money laundering - It is impossible for black money to flow into Fred's personal account, so money laundering is a basic step.

Women were bought and sold for forced prostitution - the main location being the Hailey Park Bar.

Trying to manipulate the next mayoral election - wow! Leona was a little surprised.

She adjusted the direction of the camera, "Okay, now we understand the cause and effect." She pointed at Fred who was crying bitterly, "Fred colluded with Penguin and Scarecrow to conduct human experiments and sell drugs for money and power.

, even want to manipulate the election...Should I say you are ambitious? Or should I say you are too stupid?"

The Scarecrow is not a good person. He is an expert in poisoning and has even poisoned the entire city. The power of the Penguin is unimaginable. He himself comes from one of the most powerful families in Gotham.

Ryder cooperates with such people, and in the end he can only reap the consequences and destroy himself.

"You must be confused, right? You must be wondering why I want to broadcast these contents publicly. Of course I am not seeking justice to expose the conspiracy, I just want Gotham to know me." Leona said.

Fred's eyes twitched and he screamed: "You madman! They will kill you, you have offended them! They will kill you! You wait...you wait!"

Leona pointed the gun at his temple and simply pulled the trigger.

"Bang——"

Blood splattered and the camera was stained with blood.

"You're useless, you can go die." She imitated the cowboy's movements in the movie and blew on the smoking muzzle.

Fred's head tilted limply to one side.

"You can probably think of this as a declaration of war." Leona said, "As this bug said, I have offended Scarecrow and Penguin, and Batman will also arrest me... Why hasn't he yet?

Come?" She shook her head and shrugged, "My purpose is very simple."

"I want to subvert what this city already has, and then seize what I will have - everything!"

"Whether it's power, status, money...or rules, whatever I want to control, I will get it."

There was a fragile old man on the board of directors who was frightened and fainted, and someone even peed his pants.

"...This is wrong, child." Lucius Fox's eyes were full of exhaustion and pain, "I can't persuade you to stop this terrible behavior, but I must tell you what is right and what is wrong."

"I don't care about right or wrong," Leona pulled Fred's body away from the swivel chair and sat on it herself. She controlled the chair to turn in a circle on her tiptoes and said in a light voice, "I only care about whether things are right or wrong."

interesting."

She turned her head and looked at the blood-stained camera with a cute smile, "What do you think, dear viewers?"

At this moment, the wall of the conference room made a terrible cracking sound.

The man in jet black armor carried a strange gun-shaped weapon on his shoulder and pointed it at Leona.

"Isn't it much easier to break through the door directly than the wall?" Leona stood up from the swivel chair and turned on the defense of the shield of thought to the maximum. "You just showed up now, are you going to get the equipment?"

"I gave you a chance, Brandt." The gun-shaped weapon on Batman's shoulder burst out with a dazzling blue light.

"Buzz——"

The violent energy wave spread, and Leona's shield of thought melted under the action of this energy wave.

"You were attacked by an unknown energy weapon."

"Your superpower level is not enough to offset the negative effects of energy weapons. Within 10 minutes, your superpowers will be suppressed by 90%."

...just 90%.

Leona responded instantly.

She used the remaining power of her mind to grab a board member who was huddled in the corner and threw him directly through the hole in the glass window.

If you fall from such a height, you will definitely die.

"Choose one, Batman." Leona stumbled back, "Rescue the fallen people or capture me."

The camera stand fell over and she had no time to care about it.

Leona didn't know if the scene just now was caught on camera.

Batman paused and immediately made a choice. While flying out the window, he didn't forget to launch a hook at Leona.

Leona easily broke free from the shackles of the hook. She heard noises coming from outside the conference room, and the police rushed up.

There was Batman outside the window and policemen in the corridor of the conference room. She was attacked from both sides.

"Look, it's always useful to keep a few hostages." Leona grabbed a person casually, put the gun on his head and muttered, "I made too many threats today, I almost vomited...

"But even so, she still shouted loudly, "If you rush in, I will kill him!"

The middle-aged man who was held hostage by Leona shivered and peed in fear.

Leona: "...f**k!"
