Chapter 1676 No Time to Die (Thirty-Nine)

When the first domino fell, Batman looked at the chaotic game and almost immediately saw the real purpose of Robin from the complicated surface phenomenon.

They were forcing the powerful families in Gotham to pick up their guns again and become gangster families that used violence as their pillars and means.

In fact, Batman only lived through the end of a gangster era. When he debuted, Falcone was already an old man. The old godfather had unified Gotham more than a decade ago. After more than a decade of evolution, the structure of the gangster family has long been stagnant and no advantages can be seen.

Batman, who debuted in such an era, really didn't think there was anything good about the gangster structure. In fact, this is not a system that can be maintained for a long time. Batman doesn't believe that Robin can't see it.

But they spent so much effort, one link after another, forcing Gotham's interest groups to step into the trap they set, and constantly leading them to this path. What gave them confidence and made them determined that this was right?

Clues can be found simply by elimination. The only variable in the peaceful life of Robins day after day is the trip to other universes.

Batman has thought about how Schiller made the Gotham of his universe see the light of day again. Of course, he also knows that the timeline of that universe is earlier than his own universe. After all, the Bruce Wayne of the universe he saw is younger.

But among all the answers Batman got, the only one that was not the gang system was because that was not the key at all. If Gotham’s problems could be solved so easily, how could Gotham be so rotten now?

This is indeed the case. The gang system cannot save Gotham. It is even difficult to maintain peace for a hundred years. The system based on violence and power must follow the law of dynasty cycle and will collapse one day.

But now Batman is not sure whether his Robins are clear about this. Do they plan to go back to the era first and then slowly find a solution, or are they really just sketching the skin and not the bones and only intend to learn the surface phenomenon.

To know the answer, Batman must first find out whether the Robins know that the darkness actually has mystical elements. If they know, they may take this matter more seriously and will not easily expect a certain system to completely change Gotham.

To know whether the Robins are aware of the mystical elements of Gotham's darkness, Batman naturally has to pay attention to whether the Robins can find the fish that was hit by the waves through the appearance of the wind and rain in the surging waves.

At this time, Batman thought that in addition to Harley, there was a little guy who had disappeared for a long time. Where is his son Damian Wayne now and what is he doing?

Batman found Damian in a secret base in the lower city, or he thought he could find Damian, but in fact he only found Damian's uniform because the positioning device was installed on the uniform.

Damian took off his uniform, Batman thought, this is a bit incredible, although the Robins of the Bat family rarely take off their uniforms, but Damian is obviously the member with the most serious symptoms of uniform dependence.

Of course, Damian would disguise himself when performing some infiltration missions, but such missions obviously could not occur in the downtown area. The way of doing things here is to kick the door, without so many twists and turns.

Moreover, this apartment does not look like a secret base shared by Robins. Instead, it looks like a place that Damian prepared for himself, just to store some temporary supplies.

So what is he doing?

Batman seemed a little confused, but without a positioning device, he could not stop him from using his detective talent to track Damian's footsteps.

Soon, Batman found some clues around the building, and he followed the clues around the city several times.

Then he found that what Damian wanted to do might not be ordinary shameful, because when the demon boy usually completed Robin's mission, he would only go around the city twice at most.

Finally, the clues led Batman to the largest... septic tank in Gotham City.

Yes, this is also the industry of Wayne Group.

Perhaps many people don't know that modern urban sewage treatment has been very well developed. Septic tanks are mainly used for fermentation. After the pollutants are treated, a large amount of excrement will be decomposed into residues and sewage. The residues usually go to the fertilizer factory, and the sewage is discharged into the sea after treatment.

The Wayne Group, which owns the largest fertilizer factory in Gotham City, naturally controls 80% of the septic tanks in Gotham. The one that Batman found following Damian's footsteps is the largest septic tank in the city.

As long as the modern septic tank does not enter the cabin used to store pollutants, it will basically not have much smell. Batman walked around the building several times and could not find Damian.

But he did find a strange trace near the surrounding transportation pipelines.

The east side of the septic tank treatment plant is connected to the sewage discharge pipeline. Batman usually doesn't pay attention to this place, but Spider-Man's previous good neighbor behavior forced him to work overtime overnight to check whether there were any illegal sewage discharge behaviors in each chemical plant.

So Batman noticed the sewage pipe as usual. He didn't find any illegal discharge, but he found signs of groundbreaking near the pipe.

Batman checked it and found that it was not the result of Spider-Man's inspection team sent to inspect and correct it some time ago, but the recent, strictly speaking, traces of modification within the last few hours.

Combined with the previously discovered whereabouts of Damian, Batman had to suspect that Damian had moved the sewage pipe.

Batman knew that his son had some experience in engineering skills, and it would not be difficult for him to change the pipeline. In addition, the Robins had been planning for a long time, and it was very likely that they had prepared the materials.

The question is, why are they tampering with the septic tank drain?

Batman felt that if he wanted to know what the Robins were going to do with this hammer, he could only dig up the place they had already filled in and take a look.

Of course, Batman can't dig by manpower. The most important thing is that he can't dig by his own manpower.

About half an hour later, Flash and Spider-Man were carried to the septic tank together.

"Shut up, I haven't had time to hold you responsible for throwing a stranger into Gotham. Don't say anything, otherwise you will get out of Gotham. You two, start working now."

Flash Barry and Spider-Man Peter looked at each other. They were about to quarrel, but they couldn't do it in front of Batman, otherwise they would definitely be settled by the future.

Mainly, these two curious babies are really curious, why is Batman digging the drain pipes of the septic tank?

The process of septic tank treatment of feces and urban sewage is probably to go through sedimentation first, so that the sediment and liquid are stratified, and then the liquid is sent to the sewage treatment plant separately and then the sediment is processed, so its sewage drainage pipe should lead to of sewage treatment plants.

But as The Flash and Spider-Man dug around, Batman discovered something was wrong. The drainage line of the septic tank between Uptown and Midtown had been modified. It could be said that it was obvious and undisguised. Went towards the uptown area.

Batman has a bad feeling.

At this time, underground in a manor in the upper city, a woman wearing a beak mask patted the table and said: "No matter how unreliable Madge is, he is still better than those useless birds you raised. Who sent the reconnaissance team there?" I walked around Zhongcheng District and when I came back, each person was shot at an average of eighteen times? "

"Hmph, Doris, the candidate you trained can't even compete with a gangster with a wild background. How far behind are you in the number of votes now? There must be at least a 20,000-vote gap, right?"

"So what? It's just that the mainstream media under me haven't started to work hard yet. As long as the publicity is in place, the difference of 20,000 votes is nothing. It's you..."

"Okay." A voice came from the front of the table, and after a sigh, an old man sitting in the main seat said: "We are gathered here today to discuss why there have been so many unscrupulous Owl Court incidents in Gotham recently. If you want to control the incident, you can tell us what you think, but it’s best not to waste time on each other.”

"Our people have found out that the so-called 'Nevi' family is actually a reverse spelling of the Wayne family. We suspect that Batman is behind this again."

"Why do you need to investigate such a simple matter?" Another voice immediately retorted to him with disdain: "Those members of the Neville family all use voice changers, but it is not difficult to find out that they are not very old. They are probably bats. Those kids in the family.”

"A few kids have messed up Gotham like this? Batman has really grown up. He shouldn't have been left alive in the first place."

Suddenly, a man wearing a robe and a beak mask coughed twice. He said: "Batman is of great use to us... Let's not discuss this now. Let's first think about how to calm the chaos in Gotham City. It’s not good for us to continue to be in such a mess.”

"You can't count on it anyway... Wait, did you hear anything? Is someone knocking on the door?"

Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the basement door. The door was kicked open with a bang, and Batman walked into the conference room. He spoke quickly before anyone could speak.

"Get out of here quickly, you only have less than ten seconds."

"Batman?! How did you..."

"Let's go!!!"

All members of the Court of Owls swore they had never heard Batman roar like this.

But the next second there was a flash of golden light, and Batman directly entered the Speed ​​Force, and then disappeared. His leaving posture was so anxious that he seemed to be running away.

Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from the exhaust vent of the basement, and a strong chemical stench spread out. In an instant, endless untreated septic tank sewage flooded the entire room like a flood.

What's more terrifying than the impending feces is that the liquid is pervasive. When it rushes into the airtight room in a short period of time, even a strong swimmer will inevitably choke.

Modified pipes discharge enough septic tank effluent to fill an entire room in just a few dozen seconds

How does it feel to be completely submerged by the dirty sewage that has collected throughout the city and been fermenting in septic tanks for several days?

The answer from the members of the Court of Owls is - no time to die.

They wanted to die, but they had no time, because they had to find a way to open the door underwater, otherwise they would really drown in the sewage.

Then, members of the Court of Owls discovered that the unparalleled tacit understanding between Batman and the Bat-Family also came into play at this moment - Batman welded the door shut before leaving.

In fact, it was not Batman who welded him to death, but Flash and Spider-Man who welded him to death.

The members of the Court of Owls who tried every means to pry open the door to save themselves finally understood what it meant - Spider-Man never slacked off at work, and you are a trustworthy good neighbor in New York.
