The Death Knell

“Sometimes, you have to make people believe that being expressionless is indeed a kind of wisdom, but it is not an ideal way to live.”

Deep underground in Gotham, in an unknown place, the Joker in a purple suit is supervising the civil work at the Punchline.

Of course, in return for watching the burlesque, he told her his philosophy of life.

"Like Batman? Mr. J? He's always so serious." The joke didn't complain because she had to be responsible for physical labor. Instead, she was happy because the clown needed her.

"Phew!" The clown wiped the sweat on his head and held down half of his face with a smile: "Ha, his seriousness seems to be innate. Unfortunately, the identity of Batman is not innate. , ah, look, the earth has been saved and everyone has survived. I can understand that he wants to drink and celebrate alone at home, but why should he forget his old friends? Forget me? Hehehehe... "

More than half a month has passed since the Laughing Bat was defeated by Deathstroke. The Joker sneaked into the Gotham sewers with a smile and showed off his talents under surveillance, hoping that Batman would come to him.

But what about the result? Because Catwoman was inexplicably resurrected, Batman seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Joker, which made the madman preparing the game underground not in a good mood.

But that's it. The excavation work will be completed today. Next, the Joker will take the initiative, not only for Batman, but also for the city that has forgotten the Joker to wind up the clockwork again and let them understand... ...

"They will understand that it is better to have old friends, and when it comes to playing games, it is best to just play with Uncle Clown, hahahaha..."

Speaking of happiness, she clasped her little hands in front of her chest and rubbed her hands together impatiently.

"Oh, my dear Mr. J, what you said is really great." Xiaodian smiled strangely and applauded him, as if the two of them were not just underground in the tunnel illuminated by the miner's lamp, but at the Oscar Awards Ceremony. Same: "But are you sure that young Deathstroke won't come to ruin our plans?"

"Don't worry, sweetheart, this is a Gotham game between me and Bat, it has nothing to do with Deathstroke. You don't think he would care about a shoe box in the basement after buying the villa, right? Besides, little Lailai's bald head is better than mine It attracts more attention, ha!”

The clown only said his own judgment, not the reasons. He was too lazy to explain that to his followers because it was completely unnecessary.

At this moment, the excavation work on the other side of the joke stopped. The small shield machine she was driving penetrated some underground space, and the sound of bricks falling and equipment idling could be heard from there.

"Aha! Looks like I've found it! Let's go, let's go, let me, an old father, see these little cuties, oh ho ho!"

It looked like an underground catacombs, filled with strange coffins. These things made the clown grab his green hair with both hands, kneel at the entrance of the cave and laugh maniacally.

"So you said you saw Leopard Girl some time ago?"

In the empty and dry sewer, Deathstroke and his team were still advancing slowly on the flying carpet. They were waiting for the enemy to reveal their true identity, and at the same time they were chatting about some of the things that had happened during this period.

Because of Luther's surrender at the last moment, he secretly reconciled with Zhenglian. This also meant that those who were members of the Legion of Destruction were no longer deliberately targeted.

Except Black Manta.

This is also reasonable. After all, the Legion of Destruction are all old enemies of the Zhenglian. Their relationship is not only hatred but also very complicated. Not to mention, when the Earths in The Laughing Bat launched an attack on Earth 0, they also went to the battlefield to contribute. of.

After the incident was over, Zheng Lian held a meeting to study it, then wiped the matter away and never mentioned it again.

Grodd has been released to the country anyway, and it doesn't matter if a few more are released.

Diana couldn't bear to kill Leopard Girl. Su Ming had known this for a long time, but Bobo said that Leopard Girl had once entered the Forgotten Bar after the incident, as if she was looking for someone, which was very strange.

"Maybe she wants to find someone who can lift the curse?" Raven whispered what she knew: "The blessing of the goddess of hunting has indeed become like a curse on her."

"Then she might as well go directly to the wishing machine." Harley lowered her head and flipped through the photos on her phone, preparing to use beauty software to retouch both herself and the zombies: "The person's personality is already like that, and that cannot be changed by magic. s things."

Bobo scratched his ears and threw the energy cuckold aside: "Who knows? I only said that I saw her, but I didn't say that I had investigated her. Anyway, I didn't see her coming into contact with anyone, I just sat there. Leave in a moment. The tavern is open for business, and as long as there is no trouble, anyone can come in and sit. This is the rule set by Jim."

Speaking of Night Master, Bobo bared his teeth again. Many people have been resurrected recently, but only Dark Night Master and Blue Devil have not been resurrected. This makes the orangutan very uncomfortable.

"Okay, as long as those people from the Legion of Destruction no longer threaten the existence of the universe, it's none of my business how they plan to play with their old enemies. Leopard Girl actually had many opportunities to kill Xiao Dai, so why didn't she do it? "

At this time, we came to a place similar to an underground reservoir. Of course, it had dried up, leaving only a deep cement pool. The death knell stopped here:

"Let them solve it themselves. Let's camp here first and then see what happens to the planet. Adjutant, can you hear me?"

"It's clear, Sheriff, the zombies are still wandering after losing their target. There are no other changes for the time being." The AI's response came from the helmet. She said that Sepulk's observation equipment was already paying attention to Martha's Earth.

"Go on, it's mainly about observing magic and energy flow." Deathstroke removed his mask and found a flat place to land: "However, the hidden connection between Diversity 2 and Diversity 1 must continue to be investigated. It is possible here, but how to transport it and put it into use is still a question."

"Have you confirmed the source of the soul?" The adjutant's voice was calm.

"Determining the source of 100% pure water and pure ice has the same effect as finding the origin of the soul." Su Ming said, and also showed the credit of strangulation: "But I still ask the professionals, Raven, can you Do you feel that there are souls on this earth?”

A small fire was lit in the sewer. After all, the environment was still too cold in general, and both Raven and Bobo needed to warm up for a while.

"There are many, such as the zombies we fight, whose souls seem to be trapped in rotting bodies, and they are full of sadness and fear."

The girl expressed her judgment. Not every wizard has research on souls. Unless they want to make a deal with the devil, otherwise no one would learn these unpopular magics.

But thanks to her 'family education', she just can.

"The emotions of the soul?" Harley came over. She hugged Raven's thin body as if hugging a large doll: "The soul is a ghost, right? Don't their emotions want to kill all living people? ?”

Raven was not used to being too close to other women, so she shrank her neck: "It's not the same thing. Souls have their own attributes, but most people are black."
