The Death Knell

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Ivy had already removed the vines blocking the road, but everyone else looked at the three Zhenglian people present, subconsciously waiting for their explanation.

Su Ming nodded towards Oliver. It was still unclear whether there were any impostors or spies among these people. It was not convenient for Su Ming to expose himself, so it would be the same if he let Green Arrow give the order.

Oliver is no worse than Batman at all, or in other words, he has his own strengths. For example, he can make faces and taunt his enemies with curse words, but Batman can't do that. Batman has more resources, including a power armor and a bunch of magical toys, which Green Arrow does not have.

But now we are just arranging the finishing work, and it will be no problem even if Diana comes to give the order.

Green Arrow understood. He raised his hands and patted them in the air, attracting everyone's attention and beckoning them to concentrate, and then began to assign tasks.

Damian, Emiko and Barbara will send Batman and Catwoman home first, and they will also be responsible for explaining the situation to Alfred. Now the heart-rending screams in Batman's earphones are even disturbing to outsiders. If you can hear it, you must know that his pointed ears send sound directionally.

The Humiliation Team went to help search for traces of Laughter. Charis had a wide range of high-level connections. She knew everyone in Gotham City, both black and white, and she must have back-ups to maintain communication and surveillance in Gotham City under such circumstances. .

Djinn and Wally took a separate trip to send the clown to Arkham for treatment. With the double guarantee of magic and the speed force, there was no need to worry about accidents on the way.

Crushing and Billy Wu returned to the Rock of Eternity to provide close combat protection for the Shadow Pact Team and Bobo, and also guarded Pandora to prevent her from causing trouble.

As for Harley and Ivy... do whatever you like, he can't control mental illness and plant protectionists who are even more extreme than mental illness.

So when Harry heard that he had no mission, he immediately slipped to Diana's side and stuck it on her like a plaster.

"When will it end? Can we go to Paradise Island to play?"

Wonder Woman glanced at the gloomy sky. It was already past five o'clock, the darkest hour of the day.

Of course she wanted to go home and sleep after finishing the mission, but to be honest, the Zhenglian operation failed, Batman was betrayed by the Joker, and the next situation was far from as optimistic as Deathstroke said.

The original plan was for Zhenglian to hold off the Legion of Doom, Batman to hold off the Joker, and a few others to deal with the Laughter. However, two of the three routes have now collapsed, and the pressure is all on his side.

Just when she was about to answer, Deathstroke suddenly put his fingers on her lips, and the cold gloves interrupted her words.

Su Ming shook his head at her. Harry's question was simply a proposition. He had seen too much.

Diana, like Arthur, often thinks about things straightforwardly and relies on intuition. Her answer will most likely be yes.

However, things like 'go home for Christmas this year', 'go home and get married after this battle', 'as long as the volcano doesn't erupt, the Takeda family will be as stable as a rock', etc...

It's best not to say things like this. Sometimes the world is quite evil. Even if you don't believe in metaphysics or science, and make promises that you are not sure of, you can easily become overly excited and excited during battles, which will affect the performance of your strength.

Diana is already a very easy-to-get character. What she needs most is to make a calm judgment, not to drive a windmill in the crowd like a berserker.

Wonder Woman slapped Su Ming's hand away and glared at him. He just grabbed the clown and didn't wash his hands!

However, because of this interruption, Harley's attention was drawn away again. She seemed to have lost interest in traveling to Paradise Island because she remembered that there was Neptune here and she had not been to Poseidonius yet.

"What should we do next?" Oliver walked up to Su Ming and asked in a low voice.

"All the sewers in Gotham City are flooded. Although there is no trace of Laughter yet, at least his original plan has been delayed by us. This is not his Gotham, and there are not many ways he can come up with to deal with the flood. You What do you think he will do?"

"You mean..." Oliver narrowed his eyes.

Su Ming took out a cigarette, hid under the brim of his hat and lit it: "He should be hiding in a building directly connected to the sewer, and is preparing to implement a backup plan. His original plan was scrapped by me, but we also Without Batman, it can only be considered a tie from a general perspective."

"I don't know if there are many buildings like this in Gotham. If it's Star City, generally speaking there are only a few sewage treatment plants with direct sewer entrances from the building."

Green Arrow took the cigarette and lit it lightly. The way he raised his cloak and smoked didn't look like a big boss. He looked like a temporary worker hunkering down and waiting for work.

Su Ming also looked down at the water at his waist, and the complex ripples floated away in circles. He breathed out softly: "Bad news, Gotham is nothing like Star City. This city was controlled by the Court of Owls for a long time. It’s been too long, it’s not too common for there to be secret passages under high-rise buildings.”

Oliver smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was really a bit acclimated in Gotham. Many ideas that worked in Star City were not suitable here. Sure enough, should he travel more around the world, like Deathstroke?

"Then can we continue fishing? The bait is intact and can be used again."

"The Laughing Bat will not bite the bait that has been bitten by others. Don't underestimate his intuition." Su Ming flicked the cigarette ashes and looked up into the distance: "Let's go to the bottom of Challenger Mountain first. There is the Laughing Bat there. It’s a bat cave, let’s go and observe the situation first.”

"I heard that after you left, Batman blocked the Laughing Batcave. Now only he can enter. And in his current situation, even if there are only three digits of the password, he can't tell." Green Arrow spread his hands.

Su Ming raised his finger and pointed at Green Arrow's chest: "You have the key."

"Well, I almost forgot about it, my bad." Oliver suddenly remembered that he had the questioner's key, so it was true that Batman's security door was no longer a problem.

"It's normal. After all, you have never used the power of mysticism before. It is inevitable to suddenly forget it, but you will have to get used to it in the future."

Su Ming smiled and comforted him. After all, he couldn't let the consumer boss down too much, and he still expected him to speak for him in the Zhenglian.

Diana was listening on the sidelines. It sounded like the two of them had no intention of returning the magic box. She couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "Can you think of what the Laughing Bat will do next?"

Su Ming laughed and shook his head at her. Do you really think of him as a god?

The strategic goal of Laughing is to win, to win over Batman and the Justice League, and to win over the world. This is easy to confirm.

However, Su Ming couldn't guess how he planned to play the chess piece. It was a fusion monster of Batman and the Joker, and it was often difficult to follow his ideas when doing things.

If he hadn't gotten clues from the Penguin and had come directly to flood Gotham, now that Laughter had penetrated the water supply lines through the sewers, he might have succeeded in poisoning the whole city.

The flood cut off his plan and his only clue, but Su Ming could only do so much without destroying the city and without intelligence support.

"I don't have a clue yet. It's always difficult to deal with enemies in the dark, let alone the Dark Knight." Zorro threw half of the cigarette far away and watched it being swept away by the current: "But he is still there Gotham, he has some unfinished business, and I can tell he has a lot of ill will toward this place."

"Do you feel it?" Diana pinched her delicate chin and nodded slightly.

Su Ming did not dwell on those uncertain factors. Now that the flood had not forced Kuangxiao and the others onto the streets, the original plan could not be carried out. He had to look for new clues and traces and seize the time to find the other party.

"Let's go, Harley? Are you serious?" Su Ming turned around and grabbed Harley's ponytail. She was talking to Arthur about opening a circus in Poseidonis.

Arthur refused in his heart, because although he had never dealt with her, everyone knew about her crazy reputation.

Poseidonius is such a quiet and peaceful place, but I can't stand the kind of gameplay played by Halle's Circus.

Harley turned around with a smile, gave up pestering Neptune, and jumped back to Diana: "Oh, here you go, I'm so obedient, can you buy me a cake afterwards?"

"Um."

Su Ming sighed, why did he feel like he was acting together with Wade? In addition to her mouth being much cleaner, her whole body smelled delicious.

"Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla ice cream, yeah!" Harley didn't realize it, she jumped up and down happily.

It was Ivy who came over and stopped her. Otherwise, she would have had to swim for an impromptu swim.

The dark clouds not only covered the satellite on Su Ming's side, but the situation on Laughing's side should also be the same, so just cover it a little when using magic and don't make too much noise.

The Laughing Portal perfectly meets this requirement. It doesn't seem to have any light and shadow effects, but it's a bit disgusting, like a living creature.

After walking out of the corridor, the group came to the foot of the black mountain peak.

Since the invasion of Barbatos, this black stone mountain has been standing in the center of Gotham. Its material is unknown, and there is no good way to deal with it. The battlefield of the last battle was on this flat-topped mountain, and the bat laughed wildly at that time The hole is now in front of several people.

Sure enough, just as Green Arrow said, a yellow and black cordon was drawn outside the passage, and in the darkness not far away was a heavy steel door.

Not only was a bat symbol painted on the door, but Batman’s standard warning, ‘Keep out! ’, translated as “go away”.

This is very Batman. If it were Su Ming, his words would be more tactful. After all, the purpose is just to make people who are overly curious go away, right?

‘Irregular adventures bring tears to relatives’, write this on the door, bury some mines in the porch, and install two automatic cannons in the hiding place, wouldn’t it be enough?

Thinking about whether he had something or not, Su Ming tilted his head towards Green Arrow. It was time for him to show off.
