The Death Knell

"Slade...is it a matter of time?"

Bobo came closer to Su Ming. The mercenary was already lying on the bed of the deceased for some reason, and he kept stroking the animal skin underneath him.

The orangutan wanted Deathstroke to judge whether the occurrence of this situation was caused by the super-time flow again?

It's like a two Roy thing.

"It's possible, but there's another hypothesis that's more likely."

Su Ming put his hands under his head and looked at the dark top of the cave:

"That is, Gluck's 'friend' came here first to kill him, and then disguised himself as him and went to the Hall of Justice to deliver the goods. Everyone knows that the cave boy is honest, honest, strong, and even doesn't speak English well, so even if you watch Even if he carries a lot of things in the Hall of Justice, no one will ask."

If that person masters the technology of teleportation, then it makes sense to also master some technological disguise methods. Although the difference in body shape is a bit big, this is not a problem.

"What's more, there are not many people in the hall today. People were attracted by the sudden heavy snowfall all over the world yesterday. The superheroes also want to go home..." Bobo sat on the edge of the floor, holding his pipe and thinking. After a moment, he suddenly said: "Could this also be Darkseid's plan? Use heavy snow to distract the heroes, and then trigger a zombie crisis to create opportunities to attack certain targets."

It's a bit cold in the cave below, especially when the shadows drift away, and the coolness that belongs to another world spreads in the small space.

Su Ming sat up from the floor and took a cigarette:

"It is indeed a bit like Darkseid's style in the past. When he wanted to attack the earth, he would always send someone to fight on the outpost. Whether it was to attract firepower or to get people's mentality, the gameplay was almost the same every time."

"So even if two Glucks appear, it won't affect the investigation, because all we see is one body and one scene. Then our target is the guy who killed Glucks. Let's go, I probably know who that person is. , let’s get out of here.”

The orangutan detective stood up, turned around handsomely, and wanted to pull the death knell, but after holding his hands with each other, he pulled twice. The man still did not move at all, and Bobo threw away his hand speechlessly:

"Why are you so heavy? You can't pull it up. Get up by yourself."

Feeling sorry for the orangutan's old age and frailty, Su Ming smiled and rubbed Bobo's head, then stood up and took away the few furs used as bedding.

If you read it correctly, these furs include saber-toothed tigers and mammoths. It would be good to take them back to someone to clean them, or put them at your door as a doormat.

"I almost have a suspect. I wonder if we are talking about the same person?" Deathstroke walked out of the cave and asked everyone to come closer. He nodded towards Black Alice: "Lori, teleport us back to the Justice League Dark headquarters on Earth 12. .”

"Uh, wait a minute, I'll think about it..." The girl scratched her head and closed her eyes again.

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

At this time on Earth 0, Batman found the huge 'gift box' based on the riddle left by the Joker.

The clown regarded it as a gift, and there was a Christmas tree in the photo he sent. Children's gifts would be in socks hanging on the fireplace, while adults would put things under the Christmas tree when exchanging gifts. .

If the Cosmic Tuning Fork was still around in Gotham, it would undoubtedly be the standard for Christmas trees, but now, it's Wayne Tower that qualifies.

Wayne Tower was damaged in the battle with Crazy Laughter, and is now undergoing repair work. The numerous tower cranes and scaffolding on the construction site are lit day and night, matching the appearance of a Christmas tree in the Crazy Laughter's perception.

Bat followed the same crazy idea and successfully found the gift box located in the basement of Wayne Tower. His injuries were still affecting his pain nerves, but his willpower eliminated those interferences.

He had a bad premonition before opening the box, but when he actually saw it, he was still so shocked by the tragic situation of little Jim that he was speechless for a long time.

The Joker has evolved. He would not insult corpses in the past. He may have split into new personalities, and these personalities are modeled after other madmen in Gotham. Batman can see it just from those wounds. Many shadows of old acquaintances.

There’s Pig Face, there’s Scarface, there’s Holiday Killer, there’s the Samaritan thing, and there’s the signature approach.

His cause of death was that he was slowly tortured to death after inhaling laughing gas, and died of excessive blood loss and cardiopulmonary failure.

It would be extremely painful, destroying a person's liver and lungs and causing the other person to die slowly in excruciating pain. This was Deathstroke's usual torture technique.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the exaggerated smile on little Jim’s face and the bright color of the lipstick...

Batman calmed down, replaced the lid of the gift box, and covered the box with a large bat plastic sheet.

He will not tell anyone about this for the time being, including Barbara and Chief Gordon. Now is not the time to distract them. They still need the two of them to continue doing their work.

"Alfred."

He lifted his cloak and walked out of the basement, while contacting the housekeeper through his pointed ears.

"I'm here, Master." Ah Fu's voice was still warm, as if an old man was asking beside him: "Did you find anything? The gift the clown gave you shouldn't be what you wanted."

"He never chooses gifts, and I never want gifts from him. You should call me Master. You are not the only one who can't adapt." Batman returned to the ground expressionlessly. He had passed Bruce Wayne's identity gave the construction site a holiday and also took away tonight's surveillance video: "Now help me find Selina's location, and then check all her recent communication records. I want them all."

"She should be at her home, right?" There was the sound of typing on the keyboard from Ah Fu's side. He did not forget to nag when he was doing the things he was told: "Why do you want to investigate those things? Do you know that the person who secretly investigated his girlfriend was later arrested? What will happen if you find out?"

The corners of Batman's mouth curved downward: "Of course I know, but Chanel 63."

The old butler felt that he had not heard clearly. He did not remember that there was any secret plan with this code name.

"What?"

"Chanel No. 63, the color of the lipstick, I bought it for her not long ago, but tonight this color appeared in places it shouldn't be. I hope I'm overthinking it, but I still have to check."

The bat's tone was still calm, and he shot out a hook and flew into the suspended bat plane, but did not start it immediately. Instead, he looked at the moon above the white snow in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

"I understand, young master... take care to protect yourself."

Alfred sighed. He had long known that his young master was stubborn, but under Batman's strong appearance, there was actually a fragile Bruce.

That kind of fear is what he inflicts on others, and it is also what he fears. It is always very dangerous to compete with the enemy to see who will collapse first in the face of fear, not to mention the antidote effect of the clown virus, which has been stranded in the mansion. Dr. Quinzel from another world doesn’t dare to make any guarantees.

I just hope that the Joker can return to Arkham this time.
