Chapter 166 Bell Tower

"Charlie, is it done?"

In the old city, Maggison rushed to the direction of the clock tower while contacting Charlie.

Charlie's bow has many functions, and voice changing is just one of them.

"Don't worry, I've finished it here, what about you?"

Maggison heard Charlie's answer and nodded with satisfaction.

"I have gained a lot here. Gordon may have clues to the hiding place of the nuclear bomb. I have got it. The specific situation will be discussed after we meet up."

"Charlie, you should hide well and don't be discovered."

"Ha, I should be the one telling you this. Who would doubt me?"

Charlie said unhappily.

"Hehe, if I'm lucky, I can find the location of the nuclear bomb today."

Maggison smiled confidently.

"Good luck."

After that, Charlie ended the call.

At this time, Maggison had also arrived near the clock tower.

The old city is different from other areas and has not suffered much damage.

After all, the GCPD headquarters and the City Hall are here. The number of residents is not large, and the average quality is much higher than that of the residents in the East District or Audisburg District.

Therefore, there have been almost no riots here, and a large number of civilians have been hiding in their homes.

The only serious damage is the GCPD headquarters and the City Hall.

And it is very interesting that Bane did not destroy the City Hall, but renamed it the New Gotham Supreme Court, and all judges are Gotham residents.

Bane and other gang members don't care how they fight the lawsuit or how they judge.

They just gave these "judges" a law enforcement team composed of gang thugs. As long as they are asked to arrest people, they won't even frown.

Bane... No, it should be said that Talia's grasp of human nature has reached an extremely precise level.

An ordinary person who has not undergone professional legal awareness training will have his inner darkness infinitely magnified the moment he obtains judicial power.

The weaknesses of human nature are clearly revealed at this moment.

Don't expect them to act according to the legal provisions, because no one will really read the criminal law.

The so-called trial of these people is first to prohibit people from resisting the rule of gangs such as Bain, and secondly, it all depends on their own preferences.

As long as they meet someone they don't like, no matter if the other party provokes them or not, they will arrest him for trial.

If they see a woman they like, if the other party does not agree to spend a night with them, they will also arrest her for trial.

Spitting everywhere? Arrest!

Begging on the street? Arrest!

Helpful? Arrest!

Having an argument? Arrest!

Crossing the road with the left foot? Arrest!

An old lady can't read the traffic lights by herself? Arrest!

Fighting in a group? Keep beating!

Such a trial that is like a joke, naturally there is no such thing as an unsolved case. The court will be closed in less than two minutes, and the prisoners are undoubtedly guilty.

If you are guilty, you must be punished.

At the least, you will be shot, and at the most serious, you will be stripped naked, tied up and thrown into the Queens River.

It may sound like nothing, but it is winter in Gotham now.

There is a layer of ice on the river, but it is not too thick now.

They will let the "prisoner" walk on the ice wearing only the clothes that fit him, and someone will point a gun at him from behind, and shoot him if he stops.

Walking barefoot on the cold ice, it won't take long for your feet to be paralyzed by freezing, and you will die from the gun after your movements become stiff.

If you are lucky enough to get out of the sight of the gang, it doesn't mean you have a chance to survive.

Either you will be frozen to death on the ice, or you will break the ice with one foot and drown in the river.

Anyway, in the eyes of the people who make the judgment, there is no punishment other than the death penalty.

So far, more than two hundred innocent people have died under the judgment, including men, women, young and old.

So, the corruption of the whole world is hidden in people's hearts, and there is a devil in each of us.

If power and freedom are not restricted, it will definitely lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong.

It is no wonder that no one in the old city is willing to go out. Who dares to do this?

The "judges" do not do their work every day. They lead their law enforcement teams of dozens of people to do whatever they want in the old city from morning to night.

Maggieson has already passed by several law enforcement teams.

"Isn't the frequency of these people patrolling a bit too high?"

In an artificial pool 50 meters away from the Gotham clock tower, Maggieson suddenly floated up from the water.

Just now, after he dodged a law enforcement team, another patrol team appeared before he took two steps, forcing Maggieson to temporarily jump into the pool and hide.

The clock tower itself is a high-rise building with a height of about 50 meters, and the top is a spire design.

Under the spire, facing southeast, is a huge clock, which can keep running without electricity.

The accuracy needs to be calibrated every two years.

Although the clock tower itself is 50 meters high, the entire building has no floors and no entrances or exits. The interior of the building seems to be completely solid.

Because when Wayne Enterprises funded the clock tower, it was intended to build a tourist attraction building purely for sightseeing, and it was not considered to be put into actual use.

In this case, there is no need to design floors in the clock tower.

But Maggieson knew that this was just an appearance.

The clock tower has an entrance, but the entrance is at the top of the tower.

Bruce specially built a secret room in the five-meter space on the top floor of the clock tower, which contains the Batcomputer, which can monitor all the cameras in Gotham in real time.

That is, the work place of Oracle in the original book.

Maggieson is not sure whether the riddle left by the Riddler directly points to the clock tower, which means that Batman’s secret base in the clock tower has been discovered.

Only by going to the top of the tower can we know.

Maggieson looked around.

It is almost impossible to go directly to the top of the tower from the ground.

However, at a distance of about 30 meters, another ordinary building close to the back of the clock tower should be able to be used as a springboard.

It is easy to go up with the grappling hook gun.

The rope of the grappling hook gun of Maggieson is also exactly 30 meters. If it cannot go up on the ground, it is too easy to go up on the roof of the next building.

The troublesome problem is how Maggieson can get to the roof of the next building.

Because there are nearly a hundred armed thugs guarding this building.

When Maggieson wanted to get close to the building, he heard very messy footsteps, and there were many people inside.

He even vaguely saw from the window that there were figures flashing inside, on every floor.

Maggieson immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly changed his route and returned. If he walked a few steps forward, he might be seen.

These people are obviously not the law enforcement team. Each of them wears a black skull mask on his face.

They are also wearing uniform suits.

Needless to say, they are the men of Black Mask.

Maggieson is holding a telescope and observing the building on the roof of an abandoned shopping mall diagonally opposite the clock tower.
