Chapter 1519 C: Twilight Event (Twenty-Five)

Unsurprisingly, the people of the Archmage Alliance soon fell into bad luck. After encountering a gang fight, they rushed to the church on foot. They were fully armed when they set out. When they arrived at their destination, they said that their next stop was No one in the bathhouse didn't believe it.

By the time a group of people rushed to the door of the church in panic, not to mention the staff, weapons and wallets, the coat of the robe, the boots on the feet, and even the earrings and bracelets worn by the female mage had all disappeared. They came as if they were guests. , walking away like a prisoner.

It’s hard to say that this kind of behavior is theft. The difference between this and robbery on the street is that at least you can know who the murderer is. But along the way, the archmages only felt that their belongings kept disappearing, and they didn’t even see a ghost. With.

It's impossible for everyone on the street to be a thief, right? ? ?

The archmages thought this way, and therefore missed all possibilities of recovering the stolen goods. This dark city taught them a hard lesson, letting them understand what it means to not completely prevent theft.

Of course, they got their wish and waited for Bruce Wayne, but when they walked towards Bruce who got out of the luxury car in an expensive suit and walked into the cathedral with a series of armed bodyguards, Bruce just waved. He waved his hand and asked the person next to him to throw two coins to them.

Magicians without magic are just ordinary people, and no one can hit the muzzle of a gun to seek death. However, it is not only the mages from the Grand Mage Guild who have entered Gotham, but there are also many people whose powers do not come from demons and still possess special powers. Occult people.

Most of them were persuaded by the witch Circe and became the vanguard of Circe's exploration of Gotham. However, the results of this group of people were not much better than those of the Archmage Guild because their vigilance was too poor. .

There is no city in the world with worse security than Gotham. It is the birthplace of the latest criminal routines and techniques. It is the Jerusalem of criminology. All the groundbreaking criminal techniques in the world are spread from Gotham to major cities. , and often at this time, Gotham has made a new round of breakthroughs.

This has caused the citizens of other cities to lag far behind the Gotham version in terms of anti-fraud and anti-theft awareness, and the prevention awareness of people in the occult circles is even further behind that of normal city citizens.

They can guard against car gangs and robbers, but the ubiquitous newsboys and flower children, the perfectly disguised room service staff, the criminal gangs who set up traps in major hotels many days in advance, and even the The passers-by and the onlookers on the balcony upstairs were following each other, one plan after another, one plan failed and another one succeeded. No one can always guard against theft, but there will always be thieves in Gotham.

People in the occult circles have failed in Gotham one after another. They came to show off their power and left in vain, but the valuables in their pockets really provided a lot of transformation funds for Gotham's thieves.

Next to enter was the vampire phalanx, but the Thirteen Clans were not stupid either. They first sent a group of young fools to check out the situation in Gotham.

The vampires obviously also know how to avoid adding fuel to the fire, so after conducting a small-scale investigation, the Thirteen Clans began to send out effective forces to attack Gotham. The secret party was still restrained, but the devil party was completely crazy.

Over the years, the Thirteen Clans have been operating in Europe, and the clan has grown unprecedentedly. Coupled with the Red Moon gathering descendants from all over the world, thousands of bats suddenly flocked to this sinful city.

The gangs in Gotham will not look good on them. After several years of transformation and development, most of the gangs are extremely rich. The arsenal of the Wayne Group's arms business is in Gotham. If you give them enough money, they can get guns. It was still warm.

After the initial medium-sized street fighting, the gangsters found that this was too much of a loss, but the city of Gotham has its own ecosystem, which focuses on a business that does not lose money.

The vampires are learning about Gotham, and Gotham is also understanding and learning about vampires. They have captured many living samples for research, and learned the occult definition of vampires from the old priest Daniel.

A very important aspect of this definition is that the blood of vampires preserves their energy and can be used as materials for casting spells, the heart can be used to practice medicine, and other organs can be used as forensic materials to circulate in the occult trading circle. The more pure it is, the higher the price will be.

As a result, an industry that usually doesn't have a high presence in Gotham came to the stage, and that was organ trafficking.

The gangsters are anxious to get back their money, so they can only use this method to squeeze out the value of the vampires. It happens that there is the world's largest contraband trading market locally. The right time, place and people are just right, and all they need is to put the goods on the shelves.

But the organ dealers in Gotham are all second-rate dealers. They only receive and ship goods, and rarely do it themselves. The main reason is that the people at the bottom of Gotham are soaked in the dark rain, and the organs are completely useless. Gotham's reputation is really bad. It's too loud, and outsiders can't come to Gotham if they hear it, and they can't do the abduction job. They can only make a living as a transit station.

How have these second-rate dealers ever seen such a scene? The gangsters only knew how to catch them, but they ignored the organ dealers. They couldn't find a single chief surgeon in the gang. They were raising a large group of vampires for nothing, and food was a huge cost.

The gangsters were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they still decided to be self-reliant and cultivate their own professional talents as before. The first group of vampires to enter Gotham were unlucky, and they all became test materials.

But anatomy is not something that can be learned at the last minute. The gangs couldn't bear to see the good raw materials slip away from their hands, so they sent a representative to the Iceberg Restaurant to find Cobblepot.

Cobblepot didn't have a good solution when he heard about this situation. In the end, Bruce proposed to send the captured vampires to Gotham Hospital. Hundreds of surgeons in dozens of hospitals in Gotham worked around the clock to barely take on the 13 Clans's massive and powerful attack.

When the surgeons, organ dealers, and even the gangster drivers who helped transport the materials were so tired that they almost vomited blood, the three giant cold storages were filled to the brim. Although vampires can't gather together to form a ball of fire, they can at least be scattered like stars.

Of course, the massive attack of the vampires also caused a lot of trouble for the gangs, weakening their manpower to a certain extent. It can be imagined that the gangs that need to recuperate will definitely reduce the frequency of fighting in the future, which can also be regarded as creating a good security environment for the upcoming music festival.

The thieves did not achieve very good results in this round, mainly because the young vampires were impulsive and had no money. They just fought when they entered Gotham, leaving the thieves with no chance to touch anything valuable.

But as the situation tilted more and more towards Gotham, the real old European aristocrats finally couldn't sit still. The elders of the thirteen clans collectively went out and proposed to negotiate with the Gotham gangs.

This routine has been played in Europe for hundreds of years. It is nothing more than fighting first and then negotiating. Even if the situation is not favorable to me, I can say that I love peace. If you don't talk, you are naturally barbaric.

Throw out bait during the negotiation, promise benefits but not enough benefits, divide the other party into two factions, one for fighting and the other for peace, reduce the decision-making ability and speed, weaken the other party's combat effectiveness, and then take the target in one go on the front battlefield.

The plan is good, but the first step encountered a little problem-the Gotham gangs said on the spot that they are barbaric.

The logic here is irrefutable. If they are civilized, why would they become gangs? Which gang in this world loves peace?

When moral kidnapping failed, the elders began to lure them with benefits. Then they found that the gangs had already completed the cycle of fighting to support war. They would kill the other side first, and then start to capture them after they were defeated. They would send them directly to the hospital for dissection, and then freeze their organs on the spot. They would use their own trucks to transport them to their own stalls and sell them. The profit from the whole process was at least ten times the value of the chips that the blood clan could throw out.

The elders of the thirteen clans gnashed their teeth, but they were helpless. Finally, they launched a public opinion offensive. However, no matter whether it was the mystical world, heaven, hell or any special dimension, when they heard that they were scolding Gotham, they would only say "You just know" and "Why did you mess with it?".

After the three golden moves that had won many battles in the civilized world hit a wall, the elders also knew that there was a tough battle to be fought, and the greatest power they could rely on was their ancestor Cain. As long as Cain gave them blood, their power would be greatly enhanced.

So what was Cain doing?

He is playing games with Batman.

Just when the vampires attacked Gotham in a big way and tried desperately to get the core fragments in Bruce's hands, Bruce secretly ran out of Gotham, found Cain and said he wanted to play a game with him.

Which clown could refuse Batman's invitation to play games?

So, Cain, the ancestor of the vampires who was highly expected by the thirteen clans, completely forgot that he had a group of unlucky descendants waiting for him to save him, and played the game of chasing and hiding with Batman every day.

But maybe Cain didn't drink enough blood from Bruce last time, or maybe Bruce was not crazy enough, which led to the lack of aggressiveness of the clown, so it was mainly Cain who was hiding, Cain was hiding, resulting in one of the world's famous paintings-"Where are you, Joker? You are not in London at all!"

One day after the war between vampires and Gotham was deadlocked, the moon was hanging high on a small island outside London. The dark Gothic castle spire was like a sword full of light under the moonlight, and a black figure suddenly appeared on the top of the sword.

The mysterious silhouette has two pointed ears at the top, and the body wrapped in a black cape is slender and elegant. With a "whoosh", the bat wings spread out, and the black figure rushed straight into the palace hall where the banquet was being held.

The elders of the thirteen clans were shocked, and the leader Bruch almost dropped the wine glass in his hand. He stared at the newcomer and uttered a name: "Batman?!"

Strangely, Batman is not well-known in the society of ordinary people, and only became a little famous because of the report in Metropolis, but he is well-known in the world of occultism, mainly because the devil who was unlucky spread the news about how cruel this bat monster is.

The elders of the thirteen clans did not know that Batman was Bruce, so several people stood up and looked at Batman and said, "Batman, what are you doing here?"

"I bring you news about Cain, the ancestor of the blood clan." Batman's low and hoarse voice echoed in the hall.

Several elders' eyes suddenly lit up, and they thought Batman was entrusted by Cain to bring them news.

The elders were thinking this, but Batman looked up at the blood-red eye decoration hanging on the wall in the middle of the hall, and said in a cold tone.

"I buried a big bomb under the palace in advance. Don't question my ability. It can blow up your descendants and this island. No magic can resist the power of this explosion."

Batman raised his eyes and smiled, saying.

"Well, Joker, it's time to make a choice."
