The Death Knell

"Dr. Santo ran in here some time ahead of us, so he had a few more months to prepare?" Bobo took a puff of his cigarette, and as he was used to smoking a pipe, he flicked the ash a little lamely: "No wonder he was beaten by you He is destined to die but still runs away. It seems he wants to take advantage of the difference in flow speed in this world to struggle again."

If that's the case, there are a few other things that would be explained.

That was Brutus fighting against the Justice League, running away if he couldn't defeat him, and saying he would come back when he was ready.

He originally thought that there would be a world with extremely high technology and rich resources behind him, which gave him the confidence to dare to challenge Superman like this. But if the flow rate of time is just different, it means that everyone overestimates him.

From Earth 0, it seems that after launching one attack, Brutus launched a second attack within a few hours. He also had a lot of new equipment on him, and it seemed that he had strengthened a lot in a short period of time.

But if you look at the whole thing from the earth below your feet, then he probably retreated to recuperate. Several months passed before he returned to the battlefield with the newly acquired things.

Different earths determine different perspectives, and differences in time flow rates lead to different judgments. The preparation time for each departure of Brutus is much longer than everyone thinks.

In the same way, Dr. Santo has a soybean trade with this place. In other words, he has always known about the existence of this earth. It is also possible that he is providing technological support to Brutus behind the scenes, even the equipment on these soldiers. also the same.

So when Baldhead made Saint Company rise like a comet in Silicon Valley a few months ago, it was actually not an explosion of inspiration from his genius, but his accumulation in another world.

Also, if there had been such a genius on Earth 0, he would not have remained unknown in the past.

A storm of reasoning was going on in Bobo's mind, and Cindy beside him was obviously thinking about something at the same time.

"Actually, when I was in contact with Mayor Nakano before, I asked him to read a little bit of his memory and saw the conversation between him and Dr. Santo." Su Ming walked over the fallen body with his hands behind his back and followed the leader of the team. Black Orchid walked among the blood: "At that time, the bald old man obviously made a mistake in one place. I still didn't understand why he lied, but I understand now."

The orangutan looked curious: "What are you talking about?"

"He told Mayor Nakano that he was born in the Triangle area of ​​Gotham. He said that before the three major gangs used it as a buffer zone, the people there lived very hard, blah blah blah." Su Ming said as he walked. , and raised his hand to have Strangler make a projection and show a map of Gotham: "And we have seen his photo on the Internet. He looks to be in his sixties..."

Having said that he had obtained new information, Little Fuorang understood it instantly. He lowered his head and gently pulled down the brim of his hat, assuming a reasoning posture like a famous detective, and his tone became low and steady:

"The rule of Falcone and others actually lasted until twenty years ago. After Batman appeared, he destroyed the eight major families and brought new gang forces to the forefront. The gang war lasted for several years until almost ten years ago. The name "Triangle Area" was coined not long ago. So if he was really born more than sixty years ago, language habits would have meant that he would not be able to call his hometown community the Triangle Area. Ten years ago, it was always called... ....."

The word was on my lips, but I suddenly couldn't remember it. More than ten years ago, Bobo used to hang out, mainly wearing colorful clothes, getting into fire rings, and performing for the audience in the circus.

At that time, he had not drunk the meteorite water, he was just an ordinary orangutan, and his brain was not very good.

"It's called Broadway District, or Theater Row. The famous Murder Alley is there, and during Falcone's reign, the residents there were not poor because they were surrounded by high-end consumption and joy."

Cindy took up the conversation. Although she was born on Earth Minus 11 and her age doesn't match up, she was from a well-connected family in the most prosperous place under Falcone's rule. She had also been in Gotham. Liz's parents also died in Crime Alley.

By the way, do Batman’s parents in every parallel world die in the same way? Won't you get tired of it?

After Bobo was reminded, a light bulb seemed to light up in his head, and he added:

"In addition to the geographical location that makes the three major gangs now not want to get involved in that area, there is another factor that is that Crime Alley is also there. If anyone instructs his subordinates to occupy that territory, it will destroy Batman's memories in Crime Alley. , then the bat will definitely become very violent."

"Very good. I have noticed this clue. In addition, the average age at which human cubs begin to remember is about four to five years old. Add these times to the time when the Ignorance Zone was renamed."

The death knell snapped his fingers and used the light ring to project luminous line segments, which were put together and marked with the length of time.

The orangutan who looked at Solitaire suddenly took a breath of cold air: "You mean that Dr. Santo actually spent a lot of time on the earth at our feet, so he aged and grew at the speed of time here. When he is over 60 years old, he will go back with technological inventions to take revenge on society."

"That's probably it. His previous information cannot be found on Earth 0, just because his real social security record should only be in his teens." Su Ming spread his hands and scattered the glowing lines in front of him: "That's why, His plan will appear naive because he does not have enough social experience."

"Then do we still want to kill him?" Bobo was a little hesitant, or a little confused: "Is he in his sixties or a teenager? In addition, no matter what, it seems that he respects the old and loves the young. We can’t get enough of it.”

"I've already delivered all of his dead set meals to him, now what are you talking about?" Su Ming pointed to where he was and rubbed the orangutan's head speechlessly: "I've been here and there's no way I could have escaped. No matter how old he is, he must die."

Cindy, who was walking aside with the weapon, nodded. She did not discuss this topic: "So who is the Brutus you are talking about?"

"You haven't been to Earth 0 recently, so you probably don't know about the real Darkseid, or maybe Bliss knew about it but didn't tell you."

Bobo took a puff of cigarette and chose to skip the question of whether to kill minors:

"In short, the Darkseid in our universe was originally just a split body. There is a stronger complete body in the super-time flow, and that complete manifestation wants to kill us. The Brutus we are talking about is also There is a man named Zubado, who may be the new subordinate of this high-ranking Darkseid."

"So, has the multiverse where our hometown is located also been targeted by the real Darkseid?" Sarah, who was walking behind, suddenly poked her head over, her little face wrinkled like a bitter melon.

What existence exists in the super time flow sounds super powerful.

"Sorry, because judging from the situation on this earth, it may have been completely penetrated." Bobo glanced at Sarah sympathetically, smiled apologetically, and continued to answer Cindy: "And the Sang we are talking about Dr. To is most likely a new pawn of Darkseid. The dark tyrant is using the difference in the flow of time to train super villains and transport them to Earth 0."

"That's right." Cindy nodded and wrote down the information: "But since he is called a doctor, he should have some brains, right? Why would he cooperate with a slave master like Darkseid?"

Su Ming pointed to his own face and then to Cindy's face. Both of them looked very young:

"When Simon Santo gained wealth and power, he also lost one thing, and that was his lifespan. He most likely changed from a teenager to an old man. People, when they are young, they exchange their lives for money, but when they are old, It's a sacrifice of lifespan and health. It just so happens that Darkseid, as the new god, has many ways to make a mortal live forever, which is enough to make many people become his enthusiastic fans. This is the motivation and connection."
