The Death Knell

If there is anything good about the madmen in Gotham besides simplicity, it should be trustworthiness and punctuality.

If you say you are going to kill your whole family at midnight, you will do your best to make sure your words and deeds are consistent.

Today, Harley invited many people to come over for dinner. People who didn't want to come probably didn't want Deathstroke to come to invite them, so within half an hour, all the famous bosses in the past were almost here.

In addition to big brothers such as Black Mask, Two-Face, Penguin, etc., there are also Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, Acolyte, etc., Harley's patients.

When these people get together, their mental outlook is different from the Justice League meeting. Apart from lighting cigars and pouring wine, which is polite, they mostly mock the old friends around them in a weird way.

This was like a meeting between enemies. If Deathstroke hadn't stood on the steps of the fountain and stared at them with a giant sword, maybe this place would have turned into a scene of fighting.

Because the big brothers are never alone when they go out. They also have to bring thugs and various underlings. When there are more people, some people will inevitably have too much courage and need the fear brought by the death knell to cool them down.

Seeing that the people were almost here, Su Ming looked at the little lunatic sitting in the card bag in the distance, wanting her to confirm the invitation list.

But the woman was holding a large lobster claw in one hand and was happily eating with Poison Ivy. She didn't even notice what Deathstroke was looking at.

Su Ming shook his head speechlessly and motioned to Bobo to come over for dinner. He wanted to discuss the next conditions with the people here.

The orangutan had already felt uncomfortable living in the same room with so many psychopaths. After receiving Deathstroke's approval, he immediately ran to Harley and joined the Lobster Squad.

"Bosses and friends, some of you know me, and some of you may not be familiar with me." Su Ming sat on the edge of the fountain. He leaned on his sword and glanced at everyone's face: "But what happens next It is related to the interests of everyone present, and I hope everyone can still listen patiently."

"Huh... Just tell me." Two-Face threw a coin. He didn't know the pros and cons, but the result was obviously that he continued to listen.

Black Mask held his arms and sat on the stool brought by his men, saying nothing, just waiting calmly.

"Please tell me, Deathstroke. Since everyone is here, they will definitely be willing to hear the whole story." The Penguin smiled and rubbed his palms, and the gold rings made a slight sound when they were rubbed.

The scattered people didn't have any objections. They basically came because of Harley's face, so they all agreed with Penguin's opinion at this time.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I'll keep the story short." Su Ming walked down the steps of the fountain with satisfaction, and used the Force to control a large table and food to fly over, landing among several bosses: "Please sit down, let's sit down together. Eat, while talking, to put it simply, a new company has arrived in Gotham, and the boss of that company intends to eradicate all chaos in Gotham and implement absolute order."

Did Saint Industries have this idea? It’s hard to say, but they are a company that manufactures military robots. Such low-level robots rely on programs and specifications to perform actions, so the probability of being lawful is relatively high.

You don’t need to say too much. When misleading others, speak less and let them figure it out on their own.

"Saint Industry?" Black Mask obviously knew that he had no intention of eating. He just took out his beautiful golden cigarette case, took out a pure white cigarette and lit it: "Just an outsider? How many of them does he have?" division?"

"It doesn't matter how many people he has. You may not know what kind of ghost military robots are. If you have money and supplies, you can make them unlimitedly. And if he wants to provide the robots to the Gotham Police Department, I'm afraid you won't be able to see him again. It’s Batman, because as far as the program is concerned, all of us here except the ape are sentenced to death.”

Su Ming also lit a cigarette, spread it around the table, and looked seriously at the skeleton-like coffin face of the black mask.

"He wants to kill us? Haha." Two-Face tossed a coin again. After taking a look at the result, he tied his napkin and picked up a knife and fork to cut the appetizer: "Then let's kill him first! But there is one more question. , Deathstroke, how do we know if this is your scam?”

"Because I don't need to lie to you. If I want to kill you, it only takes three seconds." Su Ming raised three fingers and started eating at the same time: "I called you here today just because I respect Gotham's tradition more. He wants to deal with you, and he wants to deal with Batman, and I think this should be a private matter for you Gotham residents."

When Batman was mentioned on this occasion, many people in the thug crowd began to tremble, and even many of the villain retail investors frowned.

But the reasons for their frowns are different.

For example, Mr. Freeze has become friends with Batman, and he doesn't want anything to happen to Bat.

The Scarecrow has always wanted to compare with the Bat to see who is more frightening. Until the end of this game, no one can kill Batman.

This time, those who can sit at the same table with Deathstroke are ruthless people, and can be regarded as "highly respected" in Gotham. Several big brothers on the road exchanged glances, and finally nodded, because what Deathstroke said made sense.

Although Batman often causes trouble for everyone, he never kills people. If the bullshit new mayor colludes with his financial backers and replaces them with a batch of murderous robots to enforce the law, everyone's life will be difficult.

As the eldest brother, you may not be on the front line, but the younger brother's pension alone is a large part of your annual expenses. No one can ignore this. After all, if you don't give the pension, who will hang out with you?

"I probably understand. You're right. This is a matter for us Gothamites." Black Mask spoke, his voice as if his throat had been burned: "We will investigate first. If it's the same as what you said, , then everyone here will surely be willing to clean up the new garbage in the city.”

"You don't need to bother me. I've asked Batgirl to help me collect information. Now I'll show it to you."

Su Ming reached out and knocked on the table in front of him, and the projection of the strangulation once again showed Barbara's new discoveries after returning to the bell tower:

"In addition, I am just a person who delivers information to you. I will not try to prove anything to you. Do you believe it or not? Anyway, even if you die, you and Batman will die together. It has nothing to do with me. I will only take Ha Leigh joins the Justice League with Poison Ivy, and then lets Superman avenge Batman."

Barbara probably never expected that the information she had promised to give to the Justice League would appear on the desktop of her old friends.

She was really interested. In just a few minutes after they parted, she found out a lot of information about Saint Industries, including the agreement reached between the company's owner, Dr. Simon Santo, and Mayor Nakano, and the "Government" that had just been announced on the government website. Official Plan'.

It is just to inform the citizens who have nothing to do that we are going to put law enforcement killing machines in the city. We are not soliciting opinions or accepting rebuttal, it is just a simple notice.

After seeing the announcement of the new bill and the projection of the fully armed killing robot, the bosses present had no doubts.

Two-Face stopped throwing coins, Penguin stopped playing with his cane, and Black Mask stopped smoking. They took out their mobile phones at the same time and started calling people, preparing to send the arrogant newcomer directly to the crematorium.

The bosses of Gotham have actually not had a good time in the past six months. Invasion of Barbatos, sinking of the earth, invasion of the Laughing Bat, Year of the Villain, City of Bane, Joker War, heavy snowfall, a series of events that are difficult for anyone. It's all a heavy burden.

Saint Industries moved to Gotham. It was more like a fat sheep falling into a pack of wolves. Many wolves wanted to eat it alone, but today Deathstroke opened up the matter and everyone found that this sheep was actually among the wolves. The group can hold back the Gundam, and it is impossible for anyone to swallow it alone.

So it's not impossible for the people of Old Gotham to work together again.

"It seems that you have chosen to believe me? It's a wise move." Su Ming took out a dozen bottles of champagne and asked him to open it and give everyone a glass: "Here's to everyone, to freedom. This is the spirit of Gotham. , cheers, and dismissal, hoping you all can give our newcomers from Silicon Valley a true Gotham welcome.”
