Chapter 196 Four Statues

Looking at the Scarecrow's receding back, Bane fell into deep thought.

"It seems that Roman Siensos is no longer satisfied with us continuing to suppress him, even if it is only in name."

Talia walked from the balcony to Bane's side and whispered.

Even a mere lackey under Black Mask dared to be so arrogant in front of Bane. If he didn't think he would live long, then it must be because the other party had the confidence not to fear his side.

The possibility of the former is almost zero. After all, before today, the cooperation between Bane and Black Mask was quite good, and there had been no substantial conflicts.

Even Black Mask himself had never been so tough in front of Bane. After Bane provided a large number of weapons, the relationship between the two sides even eased greatly.

So what exactly happened that caused Black Mask's attitude to change so much?

After thinking carefully about Scarecrow's last meaningful words, could it be that Kaito Kidd has already found Black Mask and they have reached some kind of cooperation?

"If Cienzos intends to break off relations with us, he will definitely not deal with Jim Gordon."

Thalia analyzed.

"Everything that happened just now has fully demonstrated that even if Cobblepot is not on the same page with us, at least he will not end his cooperation with us."

"If Cienzos is desperate, he is likely to face a joint attack from both of us, and then GCPD is the only force he can pull into his own camp."

This is not impossible. It is not uncommon for GCPD to join forces with gangs under special circumstances.

Black Mask is so anxious to mobilize people to go to GCPD. What is his real purpose? It is obvious.

"I want to go to Cobblepot to talk in person."

Bane said.

"It is not certain that Sienzos is connected to Kaito Kidd, but since he has decided to stand on the opposite side of us, let's get rid of him directly!"

"It is still difficult for us to swallow up the Black Mask gang by ourselves. I must strengthen Cobert's support for us. It would be best if he could convince him to kill Sienzos with us. Send someone to monitor the Black Mask gang's every move before I come back."

"Good idea, you go find the penguin now, and let me watch the one wearing the black mask first. Don't worry about me. No one is better than the shadow warriors in performing secret surveillance missions."

Talia nodded. Now is not the time to be kind. Whether Black Mask is wronged or not, this battle must be fought.

After getting Talia's approval, Bane left the Knight Dome Stadium.

And Talia led a group of shadow warriors to the East District, which is the territory of Black Mask.

To be exact, only 90% of it is Black Mask's territory...

On the other side, on a road near Wayne Building.

Suddenly, a manhole cover was about to move and was slowly removed, and then two sneaky figures climbed up from below.

They looked around quietly, but did not find any traces of the enemy for the time being, so they began to scout the scene.

"This is the only road nearby that does not have surveillance installed in the middle of the road."

Barbara looked at the entire road, which was very short and could see the next intersection at a glance.

"I can feel that there is a lot of space below, and it is not naturally formed, nor is it a sewer or subway passage, but other man-made space."

Pamela used the power of Poison Ivy and the underground plants to sense the environment under the ground.

However, after waiting for a long time, she did not get a response from Barbara.

She looked back at Barbara strangely, but found that she was staring at a statue on the side of the road intently.

A white statue depicts a man riding a horse, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with a proud expression, giving people a sense of superiority. It looks like the construction style is very ancient. Maybe it is describing a certain arrogant nobleman?

Pamela doesn't know much about this, but this is not the point.

"Hey! Barbara, now is not the time to admire the statue!"

Pamela rushed to Barbara and pushed her, looking dissatisfied.

"Shh!"

Barbara quickly put her finger between her lips and nose, signaling Pamela not to make a sound.

"This statue is not simple."

Barbara explained to Pamela in a low voice.

Pamela waited for her next words.

"Look, although the style of the statue is ancient, the carving marks here, here and here are very new and eye-catching."

Barbara pointed to several parts of the statue.

"This shows that the statue was completed recently. Do you think Bane will have the leisure to build these statues after occupying Wayne Building?"

Pamela felt that what Barbara said made sense.

"It's not just this statue," Barbara pointed along the road, "there's another statue over there."

Pamela looked up and saw that there was indeed a statue about 20 meters away.

This statue is basically the same style as the statue of the noble on horseback, except that the objects depicted have changed from a noble to three commoners. The leading commoner is in a state of kneeling, holding a long piece of cloth in his hand, while the two commoners behind him are carrying a large bag respectively.

"There are also two opposing statues on the opposite side."

Sure enough, with the statue of the noble on horseback and the statue of the three commoners as reference points, there are also two statues at the same distance across the road.

These two statues are interesting, one is a nun and the other is a noble woman.

The positions of the four statues just form a rectangle of 20 meters long and 15 meters wide, but the orientation of the front of the statues is not uniform, which is very strange.

In fact, Pamela's perspective could have seen these statues at once, but she was only focused on exploring the underground, so she didn't find anything wrong with the statues, so she ignored their existence.

"Do you think these statues have some meaning, or some mechanism?"

Pamela asked, she tried to touch the statues, but she touched all the statues and nothing changed.

Even the orientation of the statues could not be changed.

"Maybe we missed something..."

Barbara thought for a while, but still had no clue.

"You said there was a big space hidden underneath?"

Since I can't think of it for the time being, let's look for other clues first.

"Yes, someone has done difficult construction underground, just like hollowing out a lot of soil."

Pamela affirmed.

"Can your plants open the way there?"

"I'm sorry, no."

Pamela shook her head.

"I guess there is a very solid secret laboratory underneath. I tried to control countless tree roots to attack it, but they all failed without exception."

"Not a single hole was drilled out."
