Chapter 765 Fancy Operations
The night breeze brought coolness, but also brought a damp smell of decay. There might be a plague or infectious disease breaking out in Gotham after the flood. After all, there were a lot of corpses in the sewers.
Among the many sewers that Su Ming has gone through, Gotham's sewers are not the most extensive, nor are they the most complex. But when it comes to the bone density inside, Gotham is definitely second to none.
You must know that there are a lot of rats living in the sewers. If a body is thrown into the sewers, it will turn into a white skeleton and be washed away by the sewage within a few hours.
But in Gotham, if you go into the sewers anytime, you can see fresh corpses just walking around.
The cause of death is basically the same, murder.
Maybe it's the work of gangsters, maybe it's the actions of some villains. Gotham is a modern metropolis. Every day, people disappear in the reinforced concrete jungle, and there are also a steady stream of people entering this black city to pursue their dreams.
Not everyone is a bad person who wants to be the boss and make a lot of money or something. But there is a lot of gray business in Gotham, and the pay for such business is equally high.
In fact, it must be very profitable to be an mortician in Gotham. The number of people dying miserably every day in Gotham is definitely several times higher than in Midtown or Metropolis.
Every time Gordon comes to Batman, it's a murder case. That doesn't mean he doesn't have other cases. He just picks cases that look like they were committed by super villains. Maybe there are dozens of murders at the same time. It's up to ordinary police officers to solve crimes.
Batman is recognized as a dark hero, but he rarely enters the sewer system, so the underground labyrinth of the Court of Owls has been hidden under his feet in the sewers for decades.
Now, Su Ming suspected that the cultists who summoned other things might have occupied the owl's old stronghold, or they might have moved through the sewers.
Because if the cult wants to operate in Gotham unnoticed, it can only do so from high altitude or underground, otherwise it will definitely be captured by Batman's cameras in the city.
Gang crimes generally have a fixed feature, that is, they must assemble before doing anything.
It's impossible to gather at the victim's door, and then everyone in the city will either take a taxi or drive there by themselves, right? Waiting in line in front of the victim's house?
Gotham residents will also call the police.
These people should have gathered somewhere in the city or the suburbs first, and then suddenly appeared outside the victim's house. Su Ming believed that the possibility of the sewer moving was more than 50%. Others could use magic, airdrops from airplanes, or phase abilities. The chances of waiting are very low.
Just go to Wayne Mansion later and take a look at the surveillance.
"Now our city is in danger again..." Gordon sighed. As the police chief, he must protect the citizens, but this sounds like a natural task, but it is very difficult in Gotham.
"..."
"Last time it was a flood, what will the next time be, I feel like...Batman? Again..."
It turned out that at the moment Gordon threw away the cigarette butt with emotion, lowered his head and stamped it out with his foot, Batman disappeared again.
He goes as gently as he comes.
There is no trace of Batman in the surrounding buildings. Only Gordon is still standing next to the Bat-Light upstairs in the police station, as if that man has never been here.
But Gordon still went downstairs with satisfaction. Perhaps more than ten years ago, he would have been left with a nervous breakdown by Batman's elusiveness and never saying goodbye.
But after so many years of training, even if he suddenly opened his eyes at night and found Batman lying on his side staring at him, he could still remain calm.
.............................
"Alfred, good evening."
Although pretending to be Batman can deceive many people, Alfred is definitely not among them. If we talk about understanding Batman in this world, Alfred and the Joker should be tied for first, followed by Serena. Waiting for all the ex-girlfriends and Superman Clark...
It seems that something extraordinary has been discovered.
But that's all beside the point. Su Ming had no intention of pretending to be Batman and entering Wayne Mansion. That would definitely be discovered.
Maybe the range of his steps is a few centimeters different from before, or even the gloss of his teeth is different, which may be discovered by the butler man, which will not be conducive to future plans.
Now Su Ming wants to package himself as a good person and a righteous partner. He must win the support of at least half of the Zhenglian Alliance, so that he can get the "Beyond" doorknob into his arms relatively peacefully.
But if the doorknob ownership is decided by voting, Su Ming is only confident of gaining the support of Barry and Diana, which is far from enough.
Although Su Ming saved Arthur last time, that reckless man was often on the same side as Hawk Girl in the alliance. Who knows why.
He didn't understand the meaning of ordinary issues. Anyway, he voted how Hawkgirl voted. It was that simple.
As for Eagle Girl, her relationship with Su Ming is not very good. The Night Sword in his hand can be seen to be made of N metal at a glance. People don't care which earth your N metal comes from.
Collecting N metal is a conflict with the position of Eagle Man and Eagle Girl. They announced more than two thousand years ago that the N metal on the earth was contracted by them.
Besides, the last time Yingren was controlled by darkness, it was Su Ming's plan that sent him to the hospital. He is still in a vegetative state with no intention of waking up.
Although the Eagle Man and Eagle Girl in this life are not husband and wife, there is no guarantee that they have any special feelings. Anyone would be unhappy if they saw the reincarnation of their lover from the previous life turning into a vegetative state, right?
Thanks to Clark being the one who wielded the hammer in the first place, Su Ming escaped most of the responsibility for his decision to paddle.
Among the so-called Zhenglian Big Seven, there are eight people with voting rights, which is normal.
Hawkgirl must be arranged, killing is not necessary, but Su Ming has to help Green Arrow get the voting rights back.
Help Green Arrow regain the right to vote and speak. Oliver is a person who repays kindness and will stand by Su Ming to a certain extent.
As for Neptune, Su Ming plans to negotiate a deal with Mei La. She can control Arthur and has poor sense of Zheng Lian, so she can take advantage of him.
In this way, counting Barry and Diana, Su Ming holds four votes. However, if he wants Batman to agree to use a vote to determine the ownership of the doorknob, Ron must be won over, at least to get him to agree to hold a vote.
Although Ron's position as chairman of the Zhenglian Association is nominal, sometimes it can be very useful if used properly...
Su Ming didn't have many options for Martian Manhunter. The guy was very shrewd. This couldn't be done by defeating him with force. He had to prove to Ron that he was an extremely upright hero.
It's not possible to buy it with Oreo cookies, and chocolate has limited effect. How about starting with Megan?
Gotta think about it...
Su Ming smiled politely at Ah Fu who opened the door, and hid the plan in his heart. He was now just a young visitor wearing a black suit.
Alfred also bowed slightly very elegantly: "It turns out to be Mr. Wilson. Is there anything important this late at night?"
"Well, Director Gordon has left, right? Barbara is anxious to find him." Su Ming pretended not to know anything and walked into the lobby on his own.
Ah Fu was given an intelligence alert. He closed the door gently, welcomed Su Ming into the living room, and started making tea to entertain him.
"Yes, Director Gordon has left. After all, after the flood recedes, I have no reason to keep him, right?" Ah Fu smiled decently. Even late at night, there was not a single wrinkle in his tuxedo: "Is there sugar in the black tea?"
"No, thank you. It's not good to eat sweets at night." Su Ming took the tea cup politely and sat on the luxurious leather sofa, sinking into it.
The Wayne Mansion is still the same as it was the last time I visited, except that at ten o'clock in the evening, even with the lights on, this ancient house has an eerie feeling.
The old butler put the teapot on the table and still looked at him with a smile: "Actually, I should thank you. Thank you for saving the young master's friend and also saving a good policeman in Gotham."
"You're too polite. It's just a small effort. Helping good people is what I've been doing." Su Ming replied very sincerely, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then went straight to the point: "I need some help now, can you Would you like to use your brother’s eyes again?”
"Did my young master cause trouble again?" The housekeeper still smiled very decently, but showed a slight hint of doubt.
Su Ming shook his head. Using his brother's eyes here might be noticed by bats. It would be too easy to tell lies about Bruce.
"No, it's not Bruce, but his son Damian. His current situation is very dangerous."
Hearing what Su Ming said, Ah Fu immediately became serious. He had heard from Bruce that this death knell from another world was very different from the original death knell.
He felt that Damian must have really encountered some trouble, and with Deathstroke's ability, it was not difficult to invade the Batcave, but the other party still came in through the front door very politely and asked politely.
It sounds like it's still to help Damian, how can I refuse...
"Then please come with me, and let's see what kind of trouble Damian got into." Ah Fu turned around and made a gesture of invitation with his arms, asking Su Ming to move to the study with him and go down the piano passage there.
Su Ming stood up, straightened his clothes, smiled and nodded in response: "I'm not sure if Damian really has a problem, but I heard that a powerful monster appeared in Gotham, and Damian's The Teen Titans are back in Gotham from New York, just for it.”
"It's better to see it with your own eyes before you can rest assured. Thank you for your concern." Ah Fu fiddled with the piano a few times, and an elevator appeared behind the bookshelf: "Please come in."
Not only did Ah Fu take Su Ming into the Batcave, but he also helped him operate the Brother Eye system. This future artificial intelligence is now just an ordinary surveillance device. It only manages tens of thousands of cameras and dozens of spy satellites in Gotham. .
With this, Su Ming can find some key clues. After finding the Teen Titans, it's time to act as Deathstroke...
A child’s pocket money is also money.
