The Death Knell

If he is a very curious detective like Batman, he will most likely get into the portal to investigate the situation on the other side. However, Su Ming has an advantage over him, that is, there are things like space bags that can be used to dismantle the door. , and then find a safe place to study slowly.

The huge ring can probably pass through a warship, but after being disassembled and put into a backpack, it probably won't occupy a few spaces.

But the problem is that Saint Industries is a technology company. After receiving Luther's invention, they must have disassembled and researched it. There is a high probability that this is not the only door they have mastered, but it may be the lowest prototype test machine. ', is a bait used to catch bats.

But, no matter what, just take it back when you encounter it, so as to prevent Batman from making mistakes in the future, and let Barbara inform him by the way, so that he can have some ideas.

The bottom layer of the dam is pitch black, which affects the speed of working in such an environment. Although it is fast to strangle and dismantle things, if you want to dismantle the machine and still put it together in another place, you need to be a little more careful.

While Deathstroke and his team were working in the darkness, a conversation was taking place somewhere in this equally dark city, a conversation about determining the future of Gotham, or so they thought.

One of them is a man wearing a black turtleneck sweater, baggy jeans, and round glasses. His hairline and facial features look a bit like the founder of Apple.

He is only about 1.6 meters tall and over sixty years old. If it were not for his status and wealth, such a person would be the most inconspicuous person on the street.

But he is the chairman and EO of Saint Industries, Simon Santo, a genius scientist, a caring philanthropist, a mysterious rich man, and the new darling of the US military.

At this time, the doctor was delivering his speech to several audiences. He was making various body movements to enhance the appeal of his words, as if he wanted to pour all his deep love for Gotham into it.

"I built Saint Industries in Silicon Valley. I believe this is the mission I have been carrying since I was born. It was a technological pilgrimage and I benefited a lot. But after I made money, the biggest thing in my mind was My idea was how to repay my hometown. And now, I finally brought Saint Industries back to Gotham, a place that once warmed people’s hearts.”

When he spoke, he smiled with a fond memory, as if Gotham had really given him happiness. However, the people listening to his speech were a one-eyed Japanese and several of his bodyguards. This one looked very tired, and even his tie was worn out. The flabby man is the new mayor of Gotham who recently took office.

He used to be an agent of the political department of the gpd. His main job was anti-corruption, and the nature of his work against "his brothers" meant that he was not very popular.

Therefore, even though he has worked in the police station for twenty years, few people know his full name. If he meets face to face in the corridor of the police station and cannot escape, he will call him "Officer Nakano" as a greeting.

In some ways, he can be considered a good policeman, but while he is strict with himself, he is also too strict with others.

For example, if Gordon finds that his subordinates are watching short videos and watching beautiful women dancing when they are bored on duty, he basically doesn't care. After all, there is a string in the human brain, and if it breaks, he will become a madman. There are already too many lunatics in Gotham. Police officers should protect themselves while protecting others. The key is to ensure mental health.

But Officer Nakano is completely different. He believes that Gotham police should always be vigilant and never relax.

Watch short videos of beautiful girls dancing on the Internet? That is the beginning of depravity. Today, I watch the video and I feel unbearable. Then tomorrow I will go to prostitutes out of desire, and the day after tomorrow I will start collecting illegal money because I have no money.

So if he is caught watching videos of young ladies while on duty, he will be suspended from work and deducted money to write a self-criticism, and he will also have to attend a consultation with a psychologist.

It would be so miserable just to be caught using a mobile phone at work, let alone what the penalties would be if someone actually took illegal money or neglected their duties.

Except for Gordon, everyone didn't like him very much in the past. Now he can become the mayor. On the one hand, the campaign funds sponsored by Saints Industry are too sufficient. Voters can get money on the spot when they vote here. That's sufficient.

On the other hand, another mayoral candidate at the time was Penguin. If he was elected, there would be a new wave of arms sales here.

At this time, Mayor Nakano was listening to Mr. Saint's speech, his eyes drooped and he yawned. Because he was too strict with himself, he had not slept for a week and had been dealing with various messes.

However, he still attended the conversation despite the sponsor's invitation, so he raised his hand to signal Simon to continue speaking, and he was listening.

The bald man wearing glasses asked his bearded male secretary with pigtails to grind coffee, while he took out some equipment to play the projected video and continued to talk excitedly.

"I was born in the Gotham Triangle, in a rundown old apartment, which was the incubator of poverty in the city long before that area was sandwiched between the three major gangs."

At this point, he changed the topic, and the control device projected a picture of a person:

"But there are always some respectable people who lend a helping hand to us, such as my idol Mr. Thomas Wayne, a good man from a big family and a highly skilled doctor. He devoted his life to this city until the death of Gotham. The darkness swallowed him up."

The mayor yawned, took the coffee from his secretary, nodded and thanked the other party, and continued to listen to his sponsor's speech.

Nakano just likes order, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand anything. He clearly understands that if Dr. Santo spent real money to help him become the mayor, then there will be demand after he succeeds. Political investment is for the rich in the United States. normal.

The new mayor just wants to hear what the other party's request is. If it's not too excessive, then it doesn't matter if he agrees to it. Otherwise, it would be very bad to feel like he's always indebted to others.

Simon stretched out his hand to hold the high collar of his sweater, and gently turned his neck left and right. His chin was raised high, and his eyes seemed to sink to the bottom of his eye sockets when he looked at people.

To put it nicely, this is a sign of self-confidence, but to put it worse, it is pride and arrogance. He seems to look down on everyone, as if he has a sense of superiority where everyone is drunk and I am alone.

Maybe he really knows some secrets that others don't know, about this city, or about the entire universe.

But he didn't say anything now, he just continued the previous topic:

"But that was in the past. Mr. Wayne is dead, his heir is far inferior to him, and Gotham has changed from a place that represents the free spirit of America to a dark den and a doghouse for lunatics. Look, Mayor Nakano, I asked my TV friends to randomly interview thousands of citizens in other cities to see what they think of Gotham."

The three-dimensional projection equipment started running silently, and a video was played between the two of them.
