The Death Knell

"Well, it's all yours. I'll just get some jewelry or gold when I leave."

Anyway, it's just pocket money, just for psychological comfort.

"One of your swords is broken." Cindy looked behind him. Only one of the two knives originally carried behind her was left.

"It's broken, inferior product." Su Ming shrugged, holding a cigarette and watching Bliss and Barry's movements: "I'll go to the scrap car pile and cut off an exhaust pipe later."

Cindy thought it was natural, because she also liked to use local materials. Steel pipes, bricks, and kitchen knives were all deadly weapons in the hands of a weapons master.

"Next, what we should deal with is the Court of Owls, right?"

"We have already met and killed an owl priest. Although it was a cat...the number of priests is unknown, but it is definitely not too many."

Su Ming put the cigarette into the rainwater, and in just a moment, the fire went out.

Cindy also dropped the cigarette butt and watched it float away with the water. The last trace of smoke quickly dissipated: "Do you have any ideas? The Court of Owls is very well-hidden. For so many years, Gotham has only their legend."

"That's because everyone who has seen the claws is dead. But as it happens, I know where they are hiding. I even have the names of several leaders. There are about 11 families involved." Su Ming rubbed his temples and put on took off his own helmet.

Among the current rich people in Gotham, remove a few with gang backgrounds, such as Penguin, silence them, and remove a few such as the mayor and speaker. If you kill all the remaining rich people, you won't kill a few wrongly.

Yes, the Court of Owls has been hiding in the dark. They meet day and night and meet in secret, thinking that no one will find out.

But like other birds, they like to build nests.

As the owls secretly overseeing Gotham, will their nest be crude? It's impossible even if you think about it. They are the Court of Owls, but they are also human. Their instinct drives them to want to eat better, live better, and have more entertainment.

These all require money.

Money is the key to supporting the continuation of a secret organization. Apart from secretly serving Barbatos, they only have this hobby.

Su Ming is not a policeman, nor is he Batman. He does not need evidence to do things. Now that the world is in crisis, even if we kill a few wrong people, we should regard it as sacrificing our lives for the world...

After Su Ming muttered and taught Cindy the identification method, Cindy also understood. Isn't it the best method to identify based on money?

In Gotham City, except for Vayne Enterprises, which is the only one, there are no decent companies. It can be said that after Vayne Enterprises, the Red Hood's security company and the Penguin's Iceberg Restaurant are the ones with a long history. His family was completely wiped out.

As long as there is a 30% possibility, under the circumstances of the world, there is absolutely reason to kill.

"Bliss won't agree, haha." Cindy said to Su Ming with a smirk, "You are going to clear out the old families in Gotham."

"She won't know. I'll hold her back and let Barry take us to Egypt and Gotham City. You can handle it." Su Ming had a plan early in the morning. No matter how fast the Flash is, he can't appear in two places at the same time.

As long as Su Ming explains that the base camp of the Ewl Priest is in Egypt, then Barry must follow him because he is the means of transportation. Bliss will definitely go too, because Su Ming plans to expose the murder of her parents by the Court of Owls.

The descriptions in DC comics are very confusing. In some worlds, the murderers are paid by gangs, and in other worlds, the murderers are paid by the Court of Owls. Su Ming can't figure out what the situation on Earth minus 11 is.

Things that happen in the dark are often ambiguous.

If the evidence points to gangsters, it could be a frame-up from the Court of Owls. If pointed to the court, it might be framed by the top ten gangster families, or even no one at all, but some lunatic instigator from outside...

In this case, let’s take it all into account, and everyone is responsible for half of it.

It was Bliss's nightmare that her parents were killed in front of her. She didn't know who actually killed her parents, because the assassin was just a street gangster and the mastermind behind the scenes, and he was still hiding in the darkness.

As long as Su Ming reveals the details about the owl here, Bliss will definitely follow him to Egypt. What she wants is not revenge, but to face her own fears.

Barry only had two arms, holding Bliss on one side and Su Ming on the other, so Cindy could legitimately stay and carry out the cleaning plan.

"This is a big job. If you kill all these people, I probably won't have much business in Gotham in the future." Cindy shrugged, put on her helmet, and began to check the weapons: "But that's it. , if they recruit Barbatos, everyone will have no future."

"Very good, you can contact Barbara and ask her to provide a list of the richest people in Gotham City over the past 50 years, and choose those with a long family history." Su Ming said in a low voice. His words were a little choppy because there were other thoughts in his mind. He began to have auditory hallucinations, as if someone was talking to Slade in his memory.

Cindy nodded. When Barry and Su Ming went in to deal with the cat, Bliss and Cindy watched Gordon and the others leave for the TV station. She still remembered that Su Ming said that Barbara's computer skills were very powerful, so she specially asked for Barbara. Barra's phone number.

I don’t know what Barbara was thinking. Maybe she thought that if she encountered something that couldn’t be solved, she would need the power of darkness in the future. Or maybe she just wanted to contact Su Ming, so she gave her her phone number. she.

"Anyway, it's a massacre where some were killed and some were not spared. I understand. I will take action after you get rid of them." Cindy's head shook. She didn't know what her expression was, but she agreed in a relaxed tone. Come down.

"There is another clue. The Bowers family are all owls. If you can pry open their mouths, you can also get the list, but..." Su Ming looked at the person talking to Bliss on the street. Barry, however, heard other sounds in his ears. He could only try his best to keep his attention on Cindy: "The owl's beak is very hard."

"Haha, is it the Bowers family? The most luxurious hotel in Gotham City belongs to their family. The hotel is 45 stories high, with a wooden gym, bowling alley, swimming pool, and a platform on the roof that can dock a Zeppelin." Cindy laughed happily, as if she thought of something happy: "I have never been there to play. I will go there today. If the interrogation can reveal something in thirty seconds, even better, otherwise I will send them away." The whole family goes to the rooftop.”

"It's best to pretend it's an accident. We'll have some room when Bliss comes back." Su Ming nodded slightly in agreement: "Also, be careful with the sharp claws."

"I know, I already remembered their weaknesses when you fought her." Cindy nodded.

"Ordinary Claws are okay, but be careful with Claw Zero. She is special. It's hard to say what abilities she has." He looked down at the water on the ground. Now that he was on a higher ground, he could see them moving toward the river. The same words flowed on the road, and the auditory hallucinations gradually disappeared: "If you encounter a priest wearing a bird skull mask, you must not use a knife or a gun. You must hit it with something containing promethium to kill it."

"Understood, they are coming."

Cindy raised her head. Barbara and Barry were walking over.
