The Death Knell

She took the wine glass and led the two of them to the study room next to the living room. Needless to say, they could see a series of dark footprints on the floor, spreading to the back of the bookshelf.

There are still several black fingerprints on the keys of the piano, left by dirty gloves.

"Ah oh."

Barry Allen knew that he had witnessed a crime scene again, and this scene was still in Batman's home. Even though it was Batman in the parallel universe, this was too rare.

Bliss squinted her eyes and looked at the footprints. They were left by a kind of special uniform boots. They had no lines, just flat sections of metal.

Of course she remembered this kind of footprints, but she usually saw bloody footprints, this time they were just mud.

"Death knell?! How did she get here?" Bliss was immediately shocked. A nasty killer was sneaked into her home. This was hard to make people feel happy: "Afu, call the police station and ask Ask Deathstroke what he’s been doing in town lately?”

Barry Allen wasn't too nervous. He didn't seem to have any big reaction when he heard Deathstroke's name. Instead, he seemed to have seen the savior.

"Oh, the death knell of your world? Say hello to her for me, haha." He looked at the black handprints Cindy left on the piano and calculated the steps: "It seems she took away the turkey. If you look at the spattering distance of the muddy water next to these footprints, if the stride length is the same, it means that she was lighter when she came, and she carried more weight when she walked, probably only by the weight of the missing food."

"I know, I was just wondering what this perverted killer came to my house for." Bliss pressed the keys on the piano, and the bookcase slowly opened quietly, revealing a dark passage.

"Huh? Shouldn't Deathstroke be on our side?" Barry touched his head, feeling a little strange.

On Earth 0, many heroes or villains just ran away from this crisis. Only the mercenary Deathstroke came to help. Why does it seem to be different here?

Bliss was actually more surprised: "Is your death knell with you?"

This question is a bit difficult for Barry, because what Deathstroke did... is really difficult to define.

"How should I put it...He was still with Qian first, so I guess it's the same."

Bliss nodded, agreeing with what he said.

"He has done a lot of bad things and killed a lot of people. Half of the unsolved cases in my hands, I think he did it."

Bliss nodded again, indicating that she was right.

"But many times, he also participated in saving the earth, helped the Justice League drive away alien invaders and enemies, went through life and death many times, and was willing to take strange risks, so he is actually a complicated person."

Bliss did not nod this time, but held her chin, curled the corners of her mouth downwards, and entered into thought.

After a moment, she came back to her senses and motioned for Barry to go to the Batcave with her. As she walked, she said: "Death knell here probably doesn't know about this world-destroying thing. If I tell her the news, do you think she will What’s the probability of helping us?”

"One hundred percent, Ms. Bat, as long as you can convince her, she will not stand idly by. If you find it difficult to convince, you can just write a large check." Barry understands what kind of person Slade is, but in this world He didn't understand Deathstroke, so he could only give this inference.

"I don't care about her stealing the turkey for now, but I need to know what she did in my base...?!"

Before Bliss could finish her words, her eyes widened.

The Bat Cave was in a mess, with signs of being smashed everywhere. The floor of the cave was covered with various large and small footprints, and the tableware that had been eaten was thrown all over the table. The big dinosaur she likes also has a hole in its head, and one or two electric sparks are sprayed out from time to time.

The system used to monitor the city has been invaded. At this time, the large screen is still displaying constantly switching surveillance cameras. A section of the data cable is exposed under the host, indicating that Deathstroke used a physical connection to invade the system.

She was not surprised that Deathstroke could take down the mechanical dinosaur, because it was originally prepared for thieves, not world-class killers like Deathstroke. But she never knew that Deathstroke was also a computer expert, even better than herself.

Lightning flashed, and Barry appeared above the dinosaur's head. He bent down and inspected the marks left on the dinosaur's body.

There are some footprints on the top of the dinosaur's head, black handprints in the eye sockets, and water stains on the tail. He quickly figured out Su Ming's tactics and replayed them in his mind.

However, this further proves that only Deathstroke can perform this kind of scalpel-like attack on weaknesses. Many people who can do it can't imagine such a tactic. Many people who can think of it can't keep up with the physical fitness.

Immediately afterwards, he identified other traces on the ground.

A woman wearing high heels, a strong man wearing sneakers, and a man in a wheelchair. They really came here for a camping trip. The table was littered with dishes, including expired turkey.

The only thing that he didn't understand was that there were two types of Deathstroke's footprints, one was slightly larger and heavier, and the other was slightly smaller and lighter.

He grinned, unable to figure it out, so he returned to Bliss.

In fact, only three seconds had passed, and she was still thinking about her system being invaded. Barry told her what he had discovered, but even Bliss couldn't figure out what was going on.

Ah Fu chased him from behind. He walked down the stairs, pressed a few buttons on the system, and switched to the news channel.

"Miss Bliss, I think you should take a look at this. I couldn't contact the police station just now, but I saw the news on TV."

At this time, the TV station was replaying Su Ming's video. The TV station leader, who was afraid of death, removed all the news in the evening period and replaced it with an interview with Deathstroke. Although there is a large-scale power outage in the city, as long as one person can still watch TV, they dare not not broadcast this program.

Immediately afterwards, there was the scene where Su Ming shot Barbara.

As the sound of a gunshot echoed in the Batcave, the old housekeeper and Barry both shuddered and closed their eyes involuntarily.

"It makes no sense. Deathstroke had no reason to kill Oracle."

Barry shook his head repeatedly to express disbelief. Oracle was worth more than ordinary superheroes. Deathstroke would not kill Barbara just like that. In the main world, this shot would mean that more than one billion dollars were wasted.

"Mr. Allen, we are talking about Deathstroke. She is a mercenary who works for money. She doesn't care who she kills." Afu corrected him. He once served the government and was a soldier with faith, and Deathstroke is In his opinion, mercenaries are fanatics without any position.

Warriors need a position, while businessmen only care about profits.

Bliss herself lay on the console and slowed down the camera twenty times through the super computer. She did not feel sad for Barbara, but focused on the bullet.

"Barry is right. Deathstroke did not kill Barbara. The bullet was just a borrowed shot and actually flew past her neck a centimeter away."

"Then she brought Barbara here and asked her to hack your system. The wheelchair tracks left here match the axle distance and tire circumference of Barbara's wheelchair on TV." Barry nodded and wiped Wiping the black fingerprints left by Su Ming on the console, he looked at the feet where the people were standing: "I'm not surprised that she can crack your system."

Bliss still held her pointed chin and quietly watched the playback on the big screen. The computer was automatically slowing down the news, and she discovered something strange.

"However, there is something that surprises me. This man wearing the uniform of an icon is not actually our death knell."

As she spoke, she pressed a button, and the screen froze, showing a close-up of Deathstroke. The scarlet eye stared at the three people in front of the screen, and the air fell into silence.
