I want to have a date with Superman

The Truman family's luxury apartment.

The phone ringing suddenly sounded particularly loud and harsh in the dark and quiet bedroom.

"Hello, I'm Daniel." Truman rubbed his eyes, got up, and came to the phone.

He was used to being woken up by emergency calls in his sleep. At this time, his tone was still gentle and polite, without any resentment after being woken up.

"Truman, it's me, Mr. Rose." The old lady's voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Rose." Truman was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "You are——"

Mr. Rose was the anonymous name given in earlier emails.

Hearing his hesitation, the old lady said: "If there is no problem with you, you can speak freely.

Our calls were completely secure and didn't even leave a trace in Wayne Telecom's records. "

Daniel looked around the bedroom, picked up the cordless phone and entered the secret room behind the closet. He smiled and said, "Your Honor, I am absolutely safe here."

The old lady smiled and said: "Congratulations, Daniel, from this moment on, you are an official member of the Court of Owls."

"Thank you, ma'am!" Truman said excitedly.

“There are so many things going on lately, and the induction ceremony will be held in late May, after the results of the mayoral election are out.

The specific time has not yet been determined, please wait for my call then. "The old lady said.

"Well, I am ready to serve the court at any time." Truman said solemnly.

"This phone call tonight has another purpose. The court's former liaison officer, Catherine White, has been kidnapped." The old lady said solemnly.

"Who did it?" Truman asked in surprise.

The old lady was silent for a while and said, "It's probably Theo Galavan."

"How did he know Catherine's identity?" Truman asked puzzled.

The old lady said slowly: "I guess it was Cobot who revealed it.

It was you who told me that Galavan might be related to the Mad Men.

Well, you should also understand that during this period of time, Cobot has been singing the double act with Galavan.

Catherine is responsible for external liaison affairs, and many people know her identity.

For example, Hugo Strange who is responsible for Indian Hill, for example, retired Carmine Falcone, for example, Harley Quinn and Cobblepot.

But they had known about it for a long time, but they never took action against her.

At most, monitor her whereabouts.

Only Galavan has just arrived in Gotham, just learned her identity, and just had a conflict with us. "

“Two Talons were trapped in Hanhai Tower earlier, and three days ago ten Talons failed to assassinate him.

Anyone else would think about who the enemy is.

It was only natural for Galavan to question Copot, the local snake. "The old lady spoke with certainty and her tone was affirmative.

"The old woman is a smart person! What she thinks is reasonable and logical."

Harley, who listened to Ivy's narration on the live broadcast, smiled and sighed.

"You want to say that such a smart person should be played and applauded by you." Ivy rolled her eyes at her and asked curiously: "Have you guessed that they would have this reaction before?"

Harry nodded and said, "I just didn't expect their response to be so fast. Catherine died just a few minutes ago."

"What should I do?" Truman asked.

"I fear that Catherine is just the beginning and that Galavan will retaliate against the court.

Likewise, Katherine is not Talon.

It's uncertain what secrets she will reveal, let alone what speculations she might have about the members of the court.

Therefore, I informed all members and asked them to stay in seclusion and keep a low profile for the near future.

If you are not confident about your own security, you can leave Gotham tonight and go out for a while. "The old lady said.

Truman frowned and said, "Shouldn't we shoot Galavan to death immediately? He actually ran away."

"I have sent 12 claws before and after, but all failed. Especially three days ago, ten claws surrounded Theo Galavan, and he killed five of them.

Use cold weapons and two-handed swords to kill them alive.

The remaining five people were easily dispatched by his two bodyguards. "The old lady said in a deep voice.

"Hiss!" Truman gasped, "Why is Galavan so powerful and still using cold weapons?"

The old lady analyzed: "Judging from his moves and weapons, he and his bodyguards are all church knights. I guess there should be a church organization behind him."

"Like the Holy Advent Crusade?"

"That's right."

Truman pondered: "Is there nothing we can do against him? How did the court handle similar incidents before?"

"Before."

The old lady said in a complicated tone: "Every year, countless forces want to enter Gotham, and there are also many powerful ones like Galavan.

With the cooperation of Falcone and the GCPD, we can easily wipe them out.

Cobot was now Galavan's man.

During the Loeb era, the GCPD was very obedient.

Even if it were Acting Director Sarah Eisen, we still have her dark stuff.

Unfortunately, Jerome killed her.

Then, a new director took office, Nathaniel Barnes, who came from Washington, had a military background, was upright and tough, and hated evil very much.

There is no evidence, no certificate of surrender, and no loopholes can be found so far - the previous corruption of the police chief and political dignitaries was all done by Kamai, and we are not very familiar with this business. "

Having said this, the old lady sighed again, nostalgic for the retired Falcone for the nth time.

Only after losing it did I realize how good he was!

“As soon as Barnes took office, he immediately fired half of the corrupt detectives, including several police chiefs.

Full of courage and courage.

I don’t know where he got the information and evidence, but he caught it right away (on the other side, Harley was snickering).

After that, while he summoned all Gotham police officers to launch a special campaign to correct discipline, he also went to the police academy to recruit student police officers and form the Young Guards.

The young people in the school have not yet been polished by reality, and they are all full of enthusiasm and illusory ideals.

Therefore, in the short term, GCPD cannot be counted on.

As for Witch Harley, she”

The old lady sighed helplessly.

Truman frowned and said, "She refuses to be honest and obedient?"

"She is well-behaved, capable, and willing to cooperate, but we cannot accept her."

Then, the old lady told the story of the Shadow Warrior Alliance.

Truman's heart moved and he smiled: "Harley Quinn seems to have seen something, otherwise, she would not have suddenly announced her candidacy for mayor.

How about we sit back and watch the fight, or even fan the flames and let her and Galavan fight fiercely?

Two tigers fight each other, one will die and the other will be crippled. "

"As expected of the son of 'Wise Man' Harris, he found the key point right away!"

The old lady praised it first, then smiled and said: "This is our plan, that's why we inform you, keep a low profile and wait and see what happens."

"Before, I thought you were too shameless, Harley, but now..." Ivy said with a strange expression, "You did a great job! Let them bite each other, and one will die and the other will be maimed.

Let's keep a low profile and wait and see what happens. "

Harley smiled faintly, "It's impossible to be low-key. I'm still running for mayor!"

In the next few days, Harley increased the intensity of her training, choosing more Gotham gangsters to extract experience points.

She even recruited temporary workers from major colleges and universities so that ordinary people could be qualified to swing the bat and help her practice.

She needs to reach level 30 as soon as possible!

Harley, on the other hand, is on the move, holding campaign speaking events throughout Gotham's neighborhoods.

Well, in order to canvass votes, many small gifts were given out.

In the unattractive corners of newspapers, death obituaries are published one after another.

Every day, powerful people die.

However, it did not attract much attention from the media and people, because the current news focus is the mayoral election.

Like Halley, Galavan also travels around giving speeches and canvassing.

He also plans to find Jim Gordon as a guarantor.

That is, using Jim Gordon’s reputation as a “heroic detective” to assure citizens that he will be a good mayor.

Of course Gordon refused.

He is still secretly investigating him at the moment.

Then he went back to Bruce.

Although Bruce has a good impression of Galavan's high school niece, he is not stupid enough to vouch for him.

But he had previously provided a considerable amount of campaign funds to Galavan, and Galavan could still use the persona of "Wayne also trusts me."

Harley, on the other hand, is relatively simple. She did not engage in any form of campaign to support the election, and just kept clearing herself.

Well, yes, she is moving around just to make the people and public opinion accept her "living American dream" setting, not to be elected mayor-even if she stays at home and sleeps every day, she will be the mayor. deal.

Recently, Halle has entertained the idea of ​​running for president in the future.

Politicians who don’t want to be president are not good politicians.

Is she considered a politician now?

At that time, there must have been many media and political opponents using her past experiences to attack and discredit her.

Therefore, she wants to change people's view of her little by little from now on.

She is not a gangster, she is a young hero who lifts the dark veil of church orphanages and saves thousands of orphans.

She is not a murderer, she is a lone hero who resisted the tyranny of the police in Bali Street. When she becomes the mayor, she will admit the Bali Street incident and let the judge declare her innocence through an "open and legal" trial.

Not only is he innocent, he is also a lovely and respectable victim.

Didn’t the police who kneeled on Floyd just kneel?

He can kneel, why can't the GCPD kneel?

Although Harley is not dark-skinned, she was underage at the time and still a woman! ! !

Oh, recently she also established an environmental protection fund, and in the future she will definitely run a "black gold medal" for being a United Nations environmental ambassador.

She is not a murderer, she carries a Vulcan cannon and kills zombies in Gotham Cathedral.

Countless experts and professors have said this, why don’t you believe it?

She did not marry the Heibang family. She is still being rewarded by the Crusaders and must form a group of gunmen to protect herself. In the future, each of them will receive a "bodyguard qualification certificate" and all the industries under her name will be formalized and legalized.

There is really no way to make it legal. Either leave it to Cobot or amend the law to make it legal!

She's the mayor after all.

Earlier, it was not legal to complain about grass or sell sex, but after the COVID-19, many states in the United States have legalized it.

Harley suddenly discovered that there were too many benefits to being the mayor.

The mayor has so many benefits, but if she becomes the president, why wouldn't the Justice League be able to wash her feet with her?

Hallie did not make any mistakes and campaigned calmly.

Galavan currently has the advantage and doesn't want to provoke her, just hunting the "owl".

The two lived in harmony until May 11. Three days before the vote, Lowry couldn't sit still.

Well, there were too many people who couldn't sit still, but she was the only one who could call Harley.

"What are you doing? There have been a lot of deaths in Gotham recently. In just half a month, more than two hundred people died. The sky is almost falling, and you don't have any reaction?"

Laurie yelled too loudly, and Hallie moved the microphone half a meter away.

After she finished yelling, she said casually: "How can Gotham not die? It's only been over two hundred in half a month. Gotham's public security has improved!"

"Don't pretend to be confused. The White House doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people, but this time all the people who died were political and business celebrities, all big bosses. Several families were wiped out. It's too tragic and bad."

If there are readers who don’t understand why there is a plot about Harley electing the mayor.

Let me explain.

First of all, campaigning has always been an important plot in DC comics. Running for mayor and running for president have all led to major events.

Secondly, remember the "roasted lamb distribution theory"?

Lamb ribs are the most fragrant and are eaten by first class people.

Leg of mutton, next best, is eaten by the second class.

Lamb back meat, again, is eaten by the third class.

Besides the dining table, there are dogs gnawing bones and beggars guarding the garbage dump.

Bruce Wayne, born to be a king, was a first-class man from the beginning.

Falcone struggled all his life, but he only climbed up from the garbage pile to the dining table and ate a piece of lamb back meat.

Harley inherited his inheritance, and if things hadn't changed, she would have been just a third-class person eating mutton back meat.

The mayor can help her complete the transformation from a third-class person to a first-class person.

Theo Galavan is right when he says that in "Gotham Talisman", the status of the mayor is indeed very low, but the key depends on who becomes the mayor.

However, political games have never been the theme of this book. The reason why the mayor's campaign is a bit written is mainly to serve the other two lines.

Then when he becomes mayor, the plot will go by very quickly.
