The Death Knell

Damian was very good at hiding his emotions. He quickly put away all the chaotic thoughts in his mind and explained the information he knew and some things he analyzed as if he was handing in homework.

Then he held the edge of the cloak with his hand and looked at Deathstroke with his big eyes, like an athlete waiting to be scored by the judges.

"Joker? I haven't seen him for a long time, but you said he is dead?"

But it was not the death knell who spoke at this time, but another person who walked in from the darkness, a rock singer with long hair and a red and blue uniform and metal protective gear.

Damian narrowed his eyes, and he recognized the other person in the next second.

"Superman-Prime?"

"Ah, it's me. I didn't expect you to actually know me. You must have been only a few years old when I was sealed on the Origin Wall." Little Superboy walked to the glass window with the same look on his face as Earth-0 Superman. smile.

Damian pulled up a corner of his cloak to cover his face: "Of course I know you, you are the craziest visitor from another world. The host in the Batcave has your information, and you are also on the Justice League's blacklist. .”

Superboy-Prime smacked his lips and crossed his arms: "We had some misunderstandings at first, but now I want to be a good person."

"You have to tell Nightwing this. When you joined the Titans' team and acted with them, you turned your back and killed people from the Zhenglian Community and injured your teammates who regarded you as friends. You Ask those who died if they would give you a chance?"

Damian was backed by Deathstroke, and he spoke with a strong voice. After speaking, he even put his hands on his hips, looking very arrogant.

"I...well, it's my fault. I will find a way to make it up to them." Superboy-Prime originally thought he had met a fan, but it turned out to be a negative fan. He had no choice but to walk away dejectedly.

Harley jumped down from the flying carpet turned into a cloak, walked over and rubbed Damian's hair fiercely: "Why don't you give people a chance to change their ways? Anyway, those people who died are the same as you." Not familiar."

"Nightwing hates his betrayal. In Dick's own home, he used a photo of Superboy-Prime as a target. I personally don't care, but the family should have a unified stance." Damian pushed away Harley's claws, no He moved his steps calmly, distanced himself from the mad woman and approached Deathstroke: "This way, if Dick asks next time, you can prove that I don't welcome Superman Supreme."

"Haha, very good, just stop following that brainless Dick. I'm sure at least Batman will welcome the Supreme at this point in time." Deathstroke walked out of the shadows, and he patted Damian on the shoulder: " You should be more practical. I found Superboy-Prime this time. We need his power. Please be kinder."

Damian nodded without hesitation: "I understand, if it's your decision... But, what do you think about the sewer party?"

"Of course I went down to take a look at the sewer." Su Ming turned around and looked at the mud pile that had always looked like a transparent man. There were two small green eyes on the mud pile: "Clay face, right? You are coming too. "

............................

Gotham's sewers are also a lifeline. At least according to Harley, at least tens of thousands of people in the city rely on the sewers for their livelihood.

In vendettas between dynamic gangs, they often do not search the bodies of corpses. Instead, they just open a manhole cover or a sewage outlet and throw the person down. Good things for refugees can often be found on these corpses.

The most legendary story she had ever heard was that a homeless man picked up a lottery ticket from a corpse in the sewer, and that ticket won the Lotto jackpot of 5 million, making him suddenly rich.

Of course, the person turned into a new corpse on the third day after receiving the award, but it was at least two days of fun, right? He was really lucky. Most people wouldn't survive that night after their money was exposed.

As for other kinds of monsters or subspecies of humans, there are also many living in the sewers. Many of them are test subjects of various civilian scientists, and there are also freaks caused by the military and other accidents.

The first layer of sewers was okay. On a rainy day, it was like a network woven by large rivers. However, as you entered the second set of sewer systems, the deeper you went, the more complicated the environment became, and you soon encountered a group of similar people. A monster like a beetle man.

No one knew what they were, but when the God Killer slashed them, they would dance with bright white electricity, and the buttocks at the end of the carapace would also glow, so Su Ming thought they might be some kind of mutated fireflies, which were pretty good-looking.

Unfortunately, even Harley, who usually likes shiny things the most, has no interest in playing with half of the insect corpses, so she can only leave them where they are. It is unknown whether it was eaten by rats or picked up by later people.

"I heard that the second sewer system has been abandoned for forty years." Bobo clung to Deathstroke, unable to stand without shoes: "But after so many years, the greasiness here is still disgusting."

The old sewer was not spacious enough, which is why it was abandoned. The first set of sewers closest to the ground that is currently in use can even accommodate several trains running in parallel, allowing yachts to enjoy a ride, while this abandoned set of sewers , at most, it’s just two carriages running side by side.

The sewage channel has dried up, but the curbs and walls beside the channel are covered with dark oily sediments, and now all kinds of weird plants are growing, which look like mushrooms and lichens.

After experiencing the parasitic mushroom incident, Bobo is now allergic to spore organisms and does not want his paws to have any contact with them.

Su Ming held up the God Killer to clear the way in front. Some places were blocked by those plants. Walking here was like walking into a closed rain forest, and he needed to use a knife to clear the way.

The only difference is that there is no view and the smell is worse.

"It's not the most disgusting, only more disgusting. Next time I take you to my cousin's house and visit his bedroom, you will know."

"No, I had diarrhea for several days after meeting your cousin that time."

Bobo immediately shook his head, as if just breathing the same air as Deadpool would make him sick.

Suddenly Deathstroke stopped chopping in his hand and made a 'silence' gesture with his other hand in front of his mouth. After listening for a few seconds, he said with certainty:

"In the branch waterway in front of us, there is a bipedal creature approaching 400 meters away. It weighs about 90 kilograms. The frequency of its footsteps should be that of a human being. It is coming towards us."

"Yes, I heard it." Superboy-Prime floated aside with his feet not touching the ground, with a look of disgust on his face. He would never like the sewer: "Anyone who goes into an abandoned sewer in the middle of the night, except us, is definitely not a good person."

Damian was next to Harley, behind Deathstroke. He raised his head and took two steps forward and whispered: "Is it another partygoer? Let's deal with him here."

"Don't be so sure. If it's Harley or Clayface's old friend who's coming, you don't necessarily need to use force." Su Ming put his hand on Damian's head: "Try to use your hands as little as possible when you can use your brain. If you're an old Gothamite, it's all Batman's collection, and you can't afford to pay for it if it's broken."

"Ha." Damian's face was uncertain. He didn't know what he was thinking of, so he just sneered.

"Even if he is an acquaintance of mine, it doesn't matter if you kill him." Harley covered her mouth indifferently, trying not to breathe, which made her face turn red: "Kitten is dead, and Xiaohong is not here. I am in Gotham. I have more enemies than friends left.”

"The other party is moving very fast. Well, he seems to be not vigilant enough when he reaches the corner of the canal." Su Ming reached into his pocket and took out a cold firework, unscrewed it, and threw it away.

The red fire light bounced back and forth on the sewer wall, and finally fell right at the man's feet. While illuminating the figure, the other person was also frozen by this sudden scene.

At this moment, Damian stepped out from the crowd: "Jason? Is that you?"
