The Death Knell

"I did make a discovery, and I think my investigation is ahead of everyone else." Batwoman touched her pale cheek with the red glove holding the cigarette, looked at the faces of the gorilla and Deathstroke and said, "I did step on one The robot's head, and was almost knocked down by a counterattack, but not without reason."

Kate showed an expression of wisdom. She slowly took a sip of red wine, as if it would allow her to ignore the pain, showing an expression of joy and relaxation.

She didn't practice yoga like Bruce. She couldn't block the pain with willpower, but she found another way and chose to use alcohol to numb herself. What's special is that she seemed to be able to control the flow of alcohol with the blood to the wound instead of to the wound. brain.

"I deliberately stepped on a lone robot and struggled with it hand-to-hand for a long time to examine in detail, not only the head, but also the heart, crotch, every inch of the body, and any location where a processor or energy source might be present." She raised her head. Legs showed off his red high-heeled leather boots. The pointed heels were as sharp as spears: "But there is nothing similar in their bodies. They are like a ball of mud."

"Or mercury." The orangutan sat on the coffee table and threw the cigarette butt in his mouth into the sea: "I met one in the Hall of Justice before Deathstroke, and he told me."

"That's it. Although I am not an expert in mechanical engineering, I also know that they are a kind of metal creation and are not light in weight. To drive their body movement and deformation, energy is always a problem, so I thought There is a possibility, that is”

No matter how much she drank, she would still be sober. This was not common sense, but maybe it was a benefit of her frequent dealings with the mysterious side.

At this point, she suddenly stopped and just blinked at the two men in front of her.

Bobo looked at her and then at the thoughtful Deathstroke. He also had an idea, so he rolled his eyes:

"It seems that you don't want to say it directly, but you want to test us?"

"You can understand it this way. Anyway, I have to wait for my body to warm up before walking into the night rain. Now we have some time to play games. We are all smart people. Why don't we write all the answers on paper and you can prove it to me. Myself, I will also prove to you my thinking ability, so that no one will hold anyone back."

As she spoke, she took out a pen and paper, put it on the coffee table and pushed it in the direction of the orangutan.

The rain fell on the awning and made a crackling sound. Bobo naturally had no reason to refuse. He had already seen through Kate's thoughts. What she said were all excuses. She just wanted to prove herself.

Kate is really smart. She realizes that she is probably just being used as Batman's backup. She also suspects that Deathstroke and the orangutan had gone to find Batman before and were kicked out.

She doesn't want to be positioned as a spare tire, so she has to use this method to prove that she is not bad at all. Even when it comes to mysterious cases, she is more like a detective than Batman.

Women, especially women in Gotham, have a lot on their minds. But Bobo is a gentleman gorilla, and there is no need for him to tear down the ladies.

So the orangutan picked up the paper and pen in front of him and gave it to Deathstroke. The latter probably saw through it at this time, because the smile on the one-eyed man's face looked a bit narrow.

Many things were tacitly understood, and it was not a big deal to allow the stronger Batwoman to do something. Just treat her as having suffered from severe blood loss and chills all over her body before, so now let's use her brain as a warm-up exercise.

The three of them just wrote their answers on the paper. Kate turned sideways and wrote secretly, a little cutely, as if she was afraid that the orangutan would peek at her answer.

After writing the answers, everyone stretched out their fists holding the slips of paper and opened them at the same time after making eye contact.

I saw that everyone wrote the same word "magnetic".

Seeing this scene, Kate showed some smiles. She raised her eyebrows at Deathstroke and Bobo, as if to prove that she was not bad at all, but she also felt that they were accommodating her. A smart woman would not care too much about this. say what.

She just balled up the note and threw it into the sea, indicating to the orangutan detective that he could continue. Everyone really got along well.

"Whether it is instructions or energy, they are all transmitted to the machines by the mastermind behind the scenes at a distance. Through magnetism, we can find the answer by locking the source of this magnetism."

Bobo answered immediately. He looked at Batwoman with a smile, his face full of appreciation.

Although they are both members of the Bat family, Kate is worthy of being from the older generation. She is much smarter than Barbara. It is a pleasure to work with smart detectives.

Batwoman still couldn't help itching her hands. She also smiled and reached out to touch the orangutan's head. After all, such a smart little animal is not seen every day:

"You're right, and let's look at it from another angle. Has the electricity in the world really been stolen and used by an unknown person? Or is it just that the existence of electricity is a bit hindering his next plan, so Did he eliminate this interfering matter first?"

Su Ming nodded with satisfaction, took out a whole bottle of spirits and put it on Kate: "You are great, and the intelligence is also crucial. The other party has hindered the formation of electric currents around the world. Now I think it is to return the earth's magnetic field. To a state of calm.”

In human modern society, the sky is filled with various radio waves and the resulting magnetic fields, such as tall broadcasting towers, coils responsible for transmitting high-voltage electricity, and so on.

Whenever a conductor metal has a current flowing through it, a magnetic field will be generated nearby. This is called the magnetic effect of the current.

Electricity and magnetism have always had a lot in common. For example, there are only two types of charges, positive and negative, and only two magnetic poles, positive and negative, in nature.

"None of these robots are driven by electricity now. I checked, and the only answer is that they are driven by magnets." Kate narrowed her eyes. She took out a syringe needle from her pocket and placed it on the table aside. .

Then she took out another magnet and moved it across the coffee table.

Because of the magnetic force, the metal needle began to move and rotate, as if an invisible hand was playing with it.

"Someone is playing with our earth like a music box. These robots are like ballerinas with magnets on their feet." Looking at the needle-headed Bobo taking out the pipe, he gave his own conclusion. Obviously, he I agree with Batgirl's statement.

The same goes for Su Ming. He had originally made a conjecture in this regard, but given that the previous liquid robot was directly burned to ashes by Superboy, he didn't have much information to analyze.

Until he got the test results he wanted from Kate, he was basically sure.

The enemy behind the scenes has a way to control metals from a distance and provide them with energy.

This means is most likely magnetism, because magnetism can not only provide power, but can also be used to record and transmit information. Tapes are a typical example.

The strength and direction of the magnetic field are constantly changing, and the metal magnetic powder on the carrier will be magnetized into 'small magnets' with different magnetic pole directions and magnetic strengths. The signal is transcribed and interpreted in this way. This phenomenon is called magnetism. Record writing.

The current carrier base may be the air or the earth itself.

The robot's whole body is made of liquid metal. They can form a 'magnetic head' inside the body to read the changes in these magnetic fields and obtain instructions and information. This is their secret.

"Your injuries were truly worth it, Kate. You are a hero."

Batwoman was about to open the vodka that Deathstroke gave her to drink, but Deathstroke said this and quickly changed her wine to champagne:

"If we can solve these 'magnetically controlled metal-morphing robots', you deserve a lot of credit. Come on, cheers. Then I will find someone who is good at playing with magnetic fields to teach the bad guys behind the scenes a lesson."

"Ah, we have to deal with a magician who understands science. Besides, I want to drink that bottle of strong drink."

The heroine was not happy, she just looked at the high-altitude wine bottle that Deathstroke took away.
