The Death Knell

Gordon's consciousness finally returned to his body, and he could feel the light and the warmth of the fireplace.

But his heart was like a cold winter, everything was frozen, there was no sunshine and no hope.

Falcone patted his shoulder gently, comforting him like an elder: "Gordon, my good Gordon, everything is over, everything will be fine... You did it for this city." You've lost two wives, you've lost your own children, you're just a little tired."

"Tired...yes, I'm tired..." Gordon lowered his head and trembled slightly.

"No, Gordon, it's not time for you to rest yet. The new Gotham hasn't been established yet. You can't rest yet. Only you can save it. You promised me."

Falcone hugged him so hard that the skinny old man almost lifted him off the sofa.

Gordon looked at Falcone in confusion. He could no longer remember what he had promised him. It was like a pot was boiling in his mind, and his thoughts were complicated, as if his thoughts had lost contact with each other.

"I, yes, I promised you..." He responded confusedly.

"Yes, you promised a better Gotham, a Gotham where everyone can live happily. This is our city, and we all want it to get better."

"Child...child!" Gordon held his head in pain again.

Falcone comforted him again and patted his back: "It's all in the past, it's all in the past, you will have a new wife. When New Gotham is re-established, I will preside over your wedding to Sophia, and then I leave the Falcone family to you, and I will leave with applause... You will have new children, a new city, and live happily."

As he spoke, he looked at Sophia expectantly, as if seeking her opinion.

"Yes, Father, it's all up to you."

She still had that fake smile, just like the polite expression that a medieval lady put on to deal with others, and answered him in her good-girl voice, as if it had never changed.

"Come on, Gordon, kiss my ring, accept my promise, we are a family from now on, for a better Gotham!"

Falcone smiled and extended his right hand to Gordon. On his ring finger was a delicate gold ring engraved with the rose, the Falcone family emblem.

But Gordon, who was unconscious, still turned his head away and no longer looked at the ring, just like he did more than ten years ago.

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

Outside of Indian Mountain, Su Ming and the others had been squatting in the TV station's broadcast truck for an hour. It was already past 4 o'clock, but there was only the sound of wind and rain around them.

Endless rain fell from the sky and was twisted into water dragons by the strong wind. It always seemed to get into their car from incredible angles and take away the heat of their bodies through small gaps.

The car was dark, and he and Cindy were sitting in the dark cab, each holding a bottle of beer that had just arrived, monitoring the movements outside.

In the small supermarket before, Su Ming told Cindy everything about the multiverse, the plan of the person behind it, and some other conjectures.

The reason for this is because she is the only person Su Ming can trust here. Before he leaves here, he feels that he should leave enough information so that Cindy can continue to live.

He didn't know if his decision was right, or whether it would cause a butterfly effect or more serious consequences, but he just did what a partner should do.

Although they had only known each other for six hours and were only a temporary combination, their similarities and tacit understanding of each other made them feel as if they had known each other for a long time.

It was indeed a long time. Su Ming had only been in this world for six and a half hours, and six hours was almost all of his new life.

In these six hours, he experienced things he had never thought of before, made changes he had never thought of, and he became inseparable from the world that made it all happen.

However, Cindy's reaction was very indifferent at that time. After knowing the mastermind's plan, it was as if she had heard some general information. After Su Ming finished talking to her, she just said "oh" and didn't know what she was thinking. What.

The two of them returned to the car in silence, drove here, then turned off the engine and waited in the dark.

In the distance, there are dots of fire in the junkyard, which were ignited by homeless homeless people hiding from the rain in broken cars. There are also some unlucky ones who will be extinguished by the heavy rain. From time to time, they will spread out from nowhere. Come yelling or crying.

This kind of weather was not suitable for small animals, but Su Ming was sure that he saw mice getting in and out of the abandoned car, as if they were moving the food stored in their caves to higher ground.

The wind direction changed slightly, and the rain came from another direction, but the goal they were waiting for never arrived.

"Damn it, did the people from the Shadow Dancer Alliance encounter a flash flood? Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Cindy was lying on the steering wheel, her body was stiff from waiting.

"It seems something is wrong. Batgirl's surveillance system still hasn't detected any ninja entering Gotham. Something went wrong somewhere."

Su Ming looked at the darkness in the distance. He could only try his best to distinguish the direction of the entrance to the underground research institute, and hoped that it would be in the same location as in the world of the TV series.

Barbara still used her laptop to connect to the bat host in the Batcave. At this time, the main screen on it kept switching, and the system did not recognize any Shadow Dancer members.

"What do we do?" Cindy turned her head and looked at him.

Su Ming thought for a moment, and suddenly thought that it might be because of Shadow Dancer's other plans?

Cindy only found the ninja's footprints on the roof of the building at that time. Shadow Dancer's spies probably didn't go downstairs to check the body.

She only needs to know that someone from the organization died, and does not need to explore how they died like Su Ming and others.

It's all Gotham's fault anyway. While Batgirl is out of town, wouldn't it be revenge if she destroyed Gotham?

Lei Xiaogu might be gathering strength in Nandabart now, which would require members of the alliance to rush back from all over the world, which would naturally take more time.

When Shadow Dancer comes back, he will surely launch a major operation to destroy Gotham. How can we tell who the murderer is? It's too much trouble, it's Gotham people who did it anyway.

After detonating several nuclear bombs in the city and sending all the gangs and residents to the sky, the murder of these members was naturally avenged, and Lei Xiaogu's long-term wish was fulfilled.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"We're attacking. We can't wait any longer. No matter what's inside, we have to get it." Su Ming put on his helmet, locked the buckle, and arranged the weapons.

"Are you sure? We are still not sure where the Romans plan to deal with them." Although Cindy said with a smile, her hands were not slow at all and she was also ready for battle.

Su Ming just looked at her, then at the people in the car, and jumped out of the car.

"I can only be sure that as time goes by, greater dangers are getting closer and closer."

What he is referring to here is the renewed war between the Amazons and Atlantis, as well as the possible assassination launched by Bliss. They do not have time to wait here, and they must rescue Gordon and find the bat as soon as possible.
