The Death Knell

Returning to the study on the second floor, I met the Tattered Man when I went out. He was grabbing a ghost in the corridor and beating it back and forth on the ground like he was carrying a sack.

The special bandage given by God gives him the ability to contact souls. Strictly speaking, he is actually the nemesis of various ghosts.

After beating the ghost back and forth several times, he picked it up and took a look. When he found that the other person had lost the ability to resist, he grabbed the ghost and pressed it against him.

The ghost was instantly absorbed by the ragged uniform, and a new piece of cloth appeared among the many strips of cloth, still red.

The ragged man itself is colorful. Every time he absorbs a new soul, an extra piece of rag will emerge from the bandage. As time goes by, he looks like he is wearing a garbage version of a ghillie suit.

Su Ming understood. The ragged man said he was helping clean the house, but in fact he came to Zatanna's house to scavenge. He was capturing these resentful spirits to increase his strength.

Although Xiao Zha probably wouldn't care about these ghosts, he still didn't do it very authentically.

"Uh, Bobo, ladies." The ragged man, who was facing away from several people in the corridor, was intoxicated for a while after absorbing a soul. Then he noticed the people behind him and quickly turned around to say hello: " And hello, Deathstroke.”

He paused before greeting Su Ming, as if he was struggling with something, but the bandage completely covered his face and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"Good evening to you too, Rory. To make a long story short, we need you to send Zatanna to the Hall of Justice for treatment, and you have to protect her, okay?" Su Ming didn't talk nonsense, and planned to kick the raggedy man out of the team. .

"Well, of course, but what are your plans next?"

Rory hesitated for a moment, but after seeing that Diana and Bobo had the same opinion, he immediately nodded in agreement.

The orangutan who was questioned blew out a smoke ring, picked up the hat, scratched the top of his head with his fingers, and put the hat back on:

"We're going to go find some people in the magical world to inquire about the situation, which will require some long distance travel."

"That's it, okay then."

The ragged man always felt guilty about Bobo. Under normal circumstances, he would be willing to listen to what the orangutan said.

Su Ming also gave him a smile. After all, if Rory was not bewitched, he was actually quite a good person, at least a very enthusiastic person.

As for when he gets to the hall, will he be deceived by someone pretending to be God and rebel?

There is no need to worry about this, Hawkgirl and Flash are not just decorations there.

Returning to the boudoir, he carried Zatanna out and handed it over to the Tattered Man. Su Ming also took back the magic floating cloak he used to play with the ghosts. Everyone left the pocket space together and then split up.

Just when Xiao Dai was about to contact the Hall of Justice, her cell phone rang first, and the sound of pleasant music echoed in the forest at night. She looked at the caller ID on it.

"It's Batman," she said to Deathstroke.

"Take it, turn it on." Su Ming nodded. Batman called. Is there something wrong with the information in Cyborg's head?

But no, Batman was still the same, saying in a ghost-like voice:

"Come to my house, I have something to do."

Then the call was hung up directly, without any explanation or a chance for others to ask questions.

"Oh, it happens again." Bobo sighed, he sat on Deathstroke's shoulder and shook his head: "Always without any explanation, not even bothering to make up lies."

The two Amazon sisters also looked at each other and shook their heads slowly. After all, Batman has this kind of character, and everyone has long been used to it.

Su Ming took off his cloak and turned it into a flying carpet, gesturing for everyone to go up and sit down: "I originally planned to go find Witch Morgan first, but since Batman has something to do, let's go and have a look in his little hole. Maybe the Pale Knight wants to see him. I."

"Have they not gone back yet?" The flying carpet took off, and Bobo quickly held down his little cuckold.

"Doctor Quinzel wants to give birth here, because no matter what, Earth 0 is much safer than their original world." Su Ming patted the dust on the flying carpet and pointed in the direction: "And Batman, on the other hand, wants to study the Joker who became a good guy. For him, nothing is as attractive as the Joker."

"It's true." Donna snickered from the side, leaning on her sister's shoulder: "These days, I've been thinking that if he didn't catch Catwoman to recover his money, was it because that incident was caused by the Joker? Did she do it? Batman is still waiting for the Joker to make another move?"

"Their games have always been crazy, but my sister, you have to remember that Batman made it clear before he joined the Justice League that none of us can interfere with Gotham's affairs or interfere with his personal affairs. Otherwise he will be out of the league."

Diana patted her sister to stop her from continuing. The members of Zhenglian came together for a common ideal, not to change each other's minds.

Protecting justice and becoming a better version of yourself is important, but being ‘yourself’ is equally important.

But Donna, who was tapped on the shoulder, didn't take it seriously. She glanced at the figure at the front of the flying carpet and said, "Just quit. Anyway, Deathstroke can take his place."

Bobo's eyes rolled and turned into a 'gorilla covering his mouth' emoticon, and he said nothing.

The key is that he discovered that Diana was actually thinking about this possibility, only to shake her head in denial after a few seconds.

Today's Gotham is still the same, with dark clouds.

In just a few words, everyone had arrived above the Wayne Mansion. Compared to Zatanna's haunted house, it seemed much warmer here.

Even late at night, every window was lit with light, and at the doorway, which was also illuminated, Alfred, with a white towel on his arm, was dressed neatly, waiting for the guests to land.

The flying carpet fell, and the butler stepped forward, showing a reserved and polite smile, and extended his arm as an armrest for the ladies to get off the flying carpet:

"Good evening, Mr. Wilson, the two princesses, and Detective Bobo. The young master is waiting for you underground. Tonight's supper is xiaolongbao, which comes in three delicacies, lamb and pork flavors. It will be delivered in about ten minutes. Snacks I specially prepared ice cream.”

Professional, there is no other word to describe Butler Man, he is probably the top service staff in the almighty universe.

"Thank you, Alfred, I'll excuse you for today." Deathstroke didn't refuse food other than barbecue, especially the Tianchao snacks made by Ah Fu, which he hadn't tried yet.

"Please don't say that. You are the few friends that Master Bruce can bring home. I mean, although he has many friends, most of them are the kind you would not want to see at home."

The old housekeeper blinked, raised his head and told a joke, then made an invitation gesture and led everyone into the house.

"Ah, those friends of his are all very simple people after all." Deathstroke laughed and walked to the study in a familiar way: "You go and do your work. We know the way ourselves. By the way, I'll eat Xiao Long Bao." When cooking, use only balsamic vinegar instead of aged vinegar, and don’t chop the minced garlic too finely.”

The old housekeeper just smiled and nodded, but Xiao Dai pinched him covertly. His eyes seemed to remind him to act like a guest. When others treat him to dinner, don't make such requests.

Su Ming grabbed her hand without explaining anything, but Diana still didn't understand.

Batman is not a normal person at all. When dealing with him, you cannot act according to common sense. Although Deathstroke's request seems a bit artificial, it at least proves that he loves food and life.

In this way, Bat's inner question about whether Su Ming is a human or a god is answered.

Do you have to be perfect? The result is that Batman becomes increasingly suspicious, and fast forward to the end showing up dressed as the Hellbat and asking someone if they're going to bleed.

Su Ming is not Superman. He will not let things develop to this point to prove that he is a human being. To create a 'human' image in Batman's imagination, there must be shortcomings. Start from the little things during contact. .

Because the character design has been carefully managed from the beginning, for Batman, Su Ming's current image should be that of an 'ordinary human being' who is greedy for money, lustful, and enjoys enjoyment, and these characteristics are ranked before 'having strong strength' .
