The Death Knell

"But that's only for now. We still don't know what Falcone has prepared for the Shadow Dancers Alliance. It may be a biochemical bomb that will drag the whole Gotham along with it."

Cindy held out the bottle of wine to toast with him and sighed. If he captured Gordon for the sake of Batman, he probably planned to eliminate himself and everyone together.

Ten years ago, Gotham was his city. Ten years later, Gotham became the city of madmen. Falcone had every reason to be mad. The gangster city he had worked so hard to build for decades was gone.

He is already old and does not have the decades to rebuild the dark order, so taking his city away before his death is completely in line with the logic of a madman.

As for why you dragged the League of Assassins? That's because Lei Xiaogu felt that Gotham was the source of evil, and the League of Assassins had always wanted to destroy Gotham, but it was blocked by the bat.

Now that the bat is gone, both Falcone and Lei Xiaogu have a chance, but there is only one Gotham, who will destroy it?

Although the purpose is the same, the two people have completely different ideas. One is the underworld emperor and the other is the ninja master. They are not the same people at all.

The conflict between the two is natural.

Of course, there is no evidence to support this speculation so far, and Cindy has not said these words, they are just alternatives in her mind.

"We can't go in before the ninjas, so the only way is to squat nearby. As soon as the ninjas enter, we will follow them, so that we can respond to any situation."

Su Ming also smiled bitterly and toasted with her. This was a plan that was not planned.

"I hope it was Thalia who brought the Shadow Dancer, and she is the only one who is reasonable. Otherwise, even if Falcone is dealt with, we will still have to fight with the Shadow Dancer."

Cindy took a few sips, and the golden liquid flowed down her white neck. She wiped her mouth with satisfaction, threw the bottle away, and expressed her concerns.

Su Ming actually had the same thought. If those ninjas received the order to eliminate all living people, they would kill even the wanderers in Indian Mountain, let alone Gordon.

But who can say for sure what will happen in the future? We can only take one step at a time. Even if Talia is really here, if we want her to change her mind, we must fight first.

You need to prove your honor and determination through a duel with the leader. The Assassin League values ​​this. Only by asking her to respect your will can she change the order for you. Otherwise, you will usher in endless assassinations.

If you need to face so many assassins, it's best to have someone dedicated to protecting the computer expert.

"It would be nice to have a few helpers, reliable ones. Who are your mercenary friends in Gotham?" Su Ming asked her.

"Oh, mercenaries don't have any friends, it's just business."

Cindy sneered. Anyway, she didn't remember any acquaintances here who could cooperate with peace of mind. She could stab others in the back for money, and so could others.

Su Ming glanced at her helplessly, this woman...

"You have offended all your business partners. No wonder your business is getting narrower and narrower. Don't you know how to take a long-term approach to catch big fish?"

"It depends on what kind of fish it is. Even if they catch it, it will still be octopus. I don't like to eat it." Cindy looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. What else can be done about the past?

"Oh... forget it, by the way, there is a new mercenary in Gotham over our side, codenamed 'silence'. Have you heard of it?"

Su Ming gave up arguing with her. Everyone has their own ideas. Maybe Cindy prefers doing business. He also likes to live a free life, so he doesn't want to interfere with her.

Then, Su Ming remembered a new person who appeared in the comics, a black woman codenamed Silence, an assault expert, a master of thermal weapons, and good at blasting.

The key is that she, like Deathstroke, is very particular about the spirit of contract. As long as the money is in place, she will not give up the mission.

Cindy recalled it and shook her head: "Either the person you are talking about does not exist, or she is too unknown. I don't know how you are doing there, but on this earth, when it comes to employment, Soldier, people will think of me first. Don’t you think so? Barbara?”

Barbara was sitting in her small wheelchair. She was confused by the previous conversation between Su Ming and Cindy. Why are you here and we are here? What is this earth?

Suddenly hearing Cindy talking to her, Barbara was in a daze, but her behavior was taken as acquiescence by Cindy, and Cindy proudly raised her chest to Su Ming.

"Ms. Siwa." Su Ming didn't mind her hitting someone with the ball. He just turned around and said the name.

Now Cindy is a little tired. Shiva is recognized as the strongest assassin in the world. She was not called this originally. Shiva is the name of a Hindu goddess. Because she is so strong, people use god-like abilities to describe her fighting skills. Skill.

Su Ming has read the official TRPG rule book produced by DC. Batman and Bronze Tiger's fighting abilities are 14, Deathstroke's is 15, and Siwa's is 16.

The explanation for point 16 in the rule book is: cosmic-level super power.

There is no one mortal who can cultivate fighting skills to the cosmic level. Although it is just a TRPG and a game, it can also reflect some things from the side.

"She is an assassin, we are killers, they are different..." Cindy made an excuse, but turned her head to the side with a guilty conscience.

In fact, what she said makes some sense, because Deathstroke's assassinations are often carried out with great fanfare, slashing with swords or direct machine gun fire, with the help of various modern weapons.

Ms. Siwa, on the other hand, prefers to use her bare hands. She kills people with just a slap or a finger, quietly.

"In the darkness of this world, there are people who are similar to or even stronger than Siwa, such as Aikido master Sa'ar, Siwa's teacher Master Otomo, and Twelve Brothers in Silk. His father, Master Huang, is an old Japanese man codenamed 'Master' (sennsei), and maybe there are others I don't know about."

Su Ming also sighed. The water in the comics world is too deep. His current strength should be similar to Deathstroke, but it doesn't give him much support.

These people above are only fighting masters, not even those with super powers.

He must find a way to become stronger. Fighting and firearms are not enough.

Cindy felt as sad as him, because except for Master Dayou, she had never heard of anyone else. She now hoped that these people would not exist in their world.

However, in fact, all of these people are super villains, and it is inevitable that they exist in the Dark Multiverse.

"Okay, let's just talk. These people are basically hanging out in Asia. Just be careful when you go there in the future. We still have business to do."

Su Ming was the first to get rid of this silence. He just made clear his future goals. Maybe he is not the opponent of those people now, but it will definitely be different in the future.

Strong opponents will only give him more motivation, not discourage him.

"That's right. We still have a little time before the Shadow Dancer Alliance arrives. We should absorb some energy to prepare for the next battle." Cindy also agreed with his words, which also made her want to become stronger. thoughts.

In the past, there was only one Ms. Siwa on the surface, but now there are a bunch of strong fighters secretly. How could she endure it if she was unwilling to admit defeat? She has decided that if she survives this time, she will find a quiet place to practice her fighting skills.

Even though she can still find a job using a firearm.

I can't find any help now, so I might as well eat first, it's going to be a long night.

Cindy walked away from the stairs, presumably to clean up Vayne's mansion, while Su Ming looked at Barbara in a daze and whispered to her:

"Use this system to help me check the whereabouts of Brisveen and her butler Alfred."

Barbara was immediately alert. It was not a good thing for a mercenary to inquire about the whereabouts of Gotham's most famous and wealthy man.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's nothing, I just plan to develop new customers. As you just heard, Cindy's recent business has not been easy."

"You must be planning to do something bad. I won't help you." As she said that, the little girl turned her wheelchair and slid away slowly.

Su Ming smiled. She was indeed Gordon's daughter. Even her harsh words were the same. Although she ran away in a wheelchair, the system was still on and her laptop was still plugged into it.

It's like Gordon, I don't see it, it just doesn't exist.

She now has so much understanding of dark things. Bliss is too rich, and it is impossible for mercenaries to harm a super rich man without compensation.

Su Ming looked at her back. Maybe after seeing the darkness, she would gradually get used to the power in the darkness and mature completely.
