The Death Knell

Several people rode the flying carpet with their cloaks changing, all the way up to the sky above the bell tower, and landed on the slightly Gothic-style sloping roof.

There was a trap door specially designed for Batman. Su Ming found it with ease and led everyone to jump from there to the top of the bell tower.

Batman never enters other people's homes through the front door, and this clock tower is his gift to Barbara. Naturally, it will be arranged with secret passages and surveillance, just like the Hall of Justice.

In addition to the mechanical structure of the big clock, there are also a lot of bookshelves and displays in the building. At this time, they are covered with dust. It seems that no one has been here for a long time.

Barbara walked towards a bookshelf where a small gargoyle sculpture was placed. She grabbed the gargoyle's head and twisted it, and then the space inside the clock tower began to deform.

The mechanical structure that drives the clock sinks downward into the floor, freeing up space in the center of the clock tower. Steel plates are dropped on all four walls, transforming the place into a closed space. Finally, a large number of technological equipment rises from under the floor. The secret rooms in many spy movies are more sci-fi.

Dozens of screens of different sizes were also lowered at the same time. At this time, each one was lit up. The character string when the computer started self-test flashed across the screen quickly, and the clock tower base entered the standby state.

The bat girl walked to the chair that rose from the floor, lifted the white cloth covering the computer in front of her, and then found some snacks from the small cabinet on the side:

"Do you want some? Bear biscuits."

This place was like her home, making her very comfortable. After taking off her hood, the girl took out a pair of glasses and put them on, instantly transforming back into the homebody she used to be.

"No cookies, let's get down to business." Damian took off his cloak and shook the water from his body like a bird: "Whether it's a cell phone signal or license plate information, give us some useful information."

"Help me connect all the mobile phones with data cables to the equipment over there. I'll check the problems with their cars and ships first." Barbara tore open the packaging bag of the biscuits and stuffed some food into her mouth, her white fingers He pushed up his glasses on his nose and started typing.

Compared to Cyborg, her method is obviously lagging behind, but her bat-like thinking makes up for the shortcomings of manual operation.

Victor has the best hardware conditions on earth, but he can only defend but not attack. Barbara can unscrupulously invade the police system, invade the traffic control bureau, invade the tax bureau, federal bank and other departments, or peek into a large number of other people's private information without any psychological burden.

Cyborg would not do this. He is a law-abiding young man. Even on the Internet, he will not do anything illegal or immoral. He will not even peek into other people's encrypted online diaries. You must know that Barbara will secretly read the first love diary of a strange boy on the Internet while eating snacks and potato chips with a smile, just like watching a TV series or a novel.

Victor follows the Superman-style superhero ethics and emphasizes self-restraint, which is 'you can do some things, but that doesn't mean you can do them'.

Everyone likes superheroes who can restrain themselves, but because of this, Victor is not as useful as Barbara most of the time.

It's not that Barbara doesn't restrain herself, at least she doesn't steal other people's money, nor does she use other people's identities to do pranks on the Internet. It's just that her standard line of self-restraint is very vague.

After all, when facing a dark world, you can't extend your hand as brightly as a lighthouse, right?

Of course, the adjutant is the best at network investigations.

But recently, she has been responsible for resettling the refugees from the multiverse, managing the personnel scheduling and resource management on the seven earths, cooperating with the Sky Council in the research and development of magic technology, cracking the technological creations that Deathstroke moved home, and supervising the spiders. Cyber ​​and defense against Darkseid.

Therefore, trivial matters such as checking her cell phone do not bother her.

"The car is a registered vehicle, and the records at the DMV do not match the numbers. Comparing the numbers on the headlights and chassis, the buyer bought these cars in bulk in Washington, but this person should be a 'glove.' "

Batgirl typed quickly, and small windows on the screen popped up and disappeared. While chewing cookies, she told Deathstroke and others about her findings:

"That cargo ship is a better breakthrough point. Although it sank, I took a photo of it before the explosion. Now I compare it with the Coast Patrol's registration drawings to confirm that the ship has been registered for use in the past. After passing the communication frequency, we will then hack into the national maritime satellite and retrieve the positioning records that match this frequency, and then we can see it.”

As soon as she hit the Enter key, a world map appeared on one of the large screens on the wall, showing its entire movement trajectory in the past half month, marked with red lines on the blue background map.

The screen then zoomed in several times, because although the ship looked like an ocean-going cargo ship, it had never actually sailed far away. The dense red lines traveling between the east coast and the south coast of Gotham City were almost tangled. A ball of yarn.

"Ah, this should be how rich people play. Just for the transportation route of dozens of kilometers, they buy a boat and just blew it up for fun." ** sat on the processor cabinet nearby, smoking a cigarette. There was a small traffic light shining between her legs.

"South of the city? There are rich people in the old city. Some of our old friends also lived there after leaving Arkham. They have many ways to get a ship." Damian stood in the dark, he She tried her best not to look at Barbara, who was eating until her mouth was surrounded by cookie crumbs.

The orangutan detective didn't think so. He touched his paws on his head, as if this could help him use his brain. After being silent for a while, he said:

"But not everyone can afford a machine that can connect to the multiverse. What we are looking for is an underground dock, so what we need now is the underground wiring map of Gotham during Prohibition. There is a material somewhere underground. transfer station, and then they take the stuff onto the big ship via sewer boats.”

"There is an underground reservoir, which covers a large area. Maybe they are still in the business of smuggling across the multiverse." Barbara felt that what the orangutan said made sense, and she immediately prepared to contact Batman, because the original design was in the sewer. The 'Last Smile' system is the ancestor of Bruce.

Su Ming stopped her. The mercenary held a cigarette in his mouth and waved his hand: "I have the layout of Gotham's three levels of sewers in my head. There is no need to find Batman. You can just eat and we will set off directly. I already know the underground Where is the dock?"

The policeman on the side jumped on Deathstroke's shoulder, and he showed a toothy smile: "I also know about the orangutan, that abandoned tidal power station in Gotham, right?"

This is the advantage of teaming up with smart people. Needless to say, all team members have reasoning ability.

If you want to say that it is close to water, located underground, has a large enough hidden space, and is rarely populated, then there are only a few locations left.

As for why this power plant is the most suspicious, it is because it is the property of Wayne Group, and darkness is the best way to avoid Batman's attention.
