The Death Knell

Sure enough, as she finished speaking, the red eye projection in front of her eyes turned into the current map of New York. A dense string of digital symbols flowed from top to bottom from the corner of the projection, and the red lines continued to point to different areas, as if It is calculating the probability of the current route.

Diana couldn't understand what Brother Eyes was calculating and what basis it was based on, but she was still a little bit shocked by the AI ​​in such a scene.

She felt that Batman's AI system was really powerful. Even if it had been dormant for decades, its performance could still keep up with today's era. It would be very powerful to be able to hack into the city's digital network system. You must know that it was used by Luthor. Something that wrestles with the void.

However, the calculation speed is a bit slow, and the projection in front of her is shaking and flickering, as if someone is grabbing a map and jumping repeatedly in front of her eyes, and this person is the Flash.

After staring at the map for a short while, Wonder Woman felt dizzy and couldn't keep up with the rhythm, so she looked away:

"How long do you need?"

"There are not enough clues at the moment. As time goes on, the more things the skeleton does, the more clues there will be, and the faster my calculation will be."

Brother Eye's electronically synthesized voice has changed, and he is now speaking in Batman's voice, but this does not make Diana feel familiar. Instead, some cold sweat breaks out on her back due to the uncanny valley effect.

She didn't completely believe in her brother's eyes. Although the position might be similar, it was an AI after all, a ball of data without emotions and flesh and blood.

He was different from Slade's lieutenant.

"How many judgments do you have now? Tell us." At this time, Harley interrupted. She stood on tiptoes and raised her hands to hook her bestie's neck, hanging on Xiao Dai like a sloth: "The biggest Let’s talk about the three possibilities, and let me analyze them with psychological profiling.”

"One, the skeleton plans to find a place to use Milkman Superman. Two, the skeleton has found the blank location and is heading there. Three, the skeleton is looking for some places that meet the conditions to seal the ghost gentleman."

Brother Yan directly stated the three possibilities without any hesitation and seemed very candid, but after finishing speaking, he added:

"The probability of these things happening is around 50%, and I can't make any further judgment."

After hearing these words, Harley's little mouth tilted from left to right, her eyes rolled a few times, and then she grinned:

"I understand, only children make choices, adults make all choices, so the skeleton's destination for this trip should be to find a place that satisfies these three conditions at the same time."

"..." The brother remained silent, as if he was paralyzed by Harley's speech.

"A place that meets these requirements?" Diana tried her best to think, but she was not familiar with New York, let alone New York in different timelines: "Do you have any ideas?"

She herself didn't have much idea, and Harley's statement seemed to add a new layer of fog to the puzzle.

Kara, who was behind him, spread his hands and said that he had no idea. Xiao Yuan also had an embarrassed smile on his face, as if he felt a little guilty that he couldn't help.

She was in International City when she crashed to Earth. She has left there no more than ten times over the years, less than once a year on average. She has not even attended the annual Christmas party hosted by the Justice League, which is very pitiful. .

"Don't look at me, dear Xiao Dai." Harley threw a piece of bubble gum into her mouth and stretched out her hand to rub her nose: "I know you want to guess where the skeleton is going in advance so that you can ambush at that location first. But it seems unrealistic because it’s hard for us to beat him, don’t think too much about it.”

"...Okay, alas." Diana sighed after all. She found that she was still anxious unknowingly, because Superman was still in the hands of the skeleton. What if it happened to 'place' or 'time'? ', Will the Skull do anything to Superman?

Deathstroke said before that Superman is the key to everything, and his tone seemed to be saying that Superman created the world.

This statement made her have to consider the safety of Superman, because it was difficult to explain Skeleton's position clearly. Even if he did not embarrass the three of them at the pharmaceutical factory before, maybe he didn't think the three of them were a threat at all? Or maybe he doesn’t like hitting women that much?

"The skeleton has stopped." Kara suddenly said this, pointing to her eyes: "As we speak, he has run more than ten kilometers away and has now arrived in the center of New York City."

"The center of the city?"

Diana glanced at her projection map and was a little confused, but her brother's eyes immediately marked a red dot in the center of the city and made it flash.

"Is it really true? Without Gotham, New York is the center of darkness on the earth? And the center of New York is..." Harley touched her chin and nodded repeatedly like a detective: "This is where the darkness of the earth gathers..." A setting shared by parallel worlds? It’s really easy, hehe..."

"Let's rush over." Diana couldn't let Harley play detective here anymore, so she picked her up and held her in her arms, and then took off with Kara: "It seems that that is the key point that the skeleton thinks. He also has the key figure Superman in his hands, so he should be doing something."

She didn't need to guess, in Supergirl's field of vision, the skeleton had already started working, and she saw that he had just broken through the manhole cover and returned to the ground while carrying Superman.

Draw a circle around New York on a map. Where is the center of the circle?

In fact, everyone knows the answer, that is Central Park. The location is indicated in its name, but in the future New York City, this park is like a forest full of light and shadow.

It is filled with various future art works, and there are not many things related to nature. At least there is no real tree here. It is only made of glass and metal and looks like a towering tree. of sculpture.

Various glass columns are scattered all over the lake, and colorful lights and shadows are constantly flowing in them. This makes the lake seem to be breathing in the middle of the night. With the changes of breathing lights and music, the light continues to rise and fall like a tide.

The skeleton stood under a large glass tree in the park, on a small hill. The road here climbed over the hill at a gentle slope, and the manhole cover that had just been knocked off was still in the sky.

His head turned for a moment, as if he was sizing up the surrounding environment. Then he picked a geomantic omen, flattened the ground with his feet, and threw Superman in front of him.

Later, facing the unconscious prisoner, the cruel skeleton stretched out his sinful bone claws and skillfully removed all the joints in Superman's arms and legs.

Superman, who was still sleeping soundly, was awakened by severe pain. He bared his teeth and tried to struggle, but he immediately fell to the ground again and could not even fly.

For no other reason, because the skeleton had kryptonite in his hand, both of them were illuminated green in the dark night.
