Batman's team broke through the fifth floor. The whole process can be said to be almost without incident. The sixth floor is a quagmire swamp. There are some problems here, that is, the vines above that can be used to pull are a little tight.
It was too loose, so Batman went up and pulled it, and he harvested a brand new vine.
"You want to tell me that cultists have to go through such hardships every day before they can go back to their bedrooms?" Batman was puzzled.
Superman and Wonder Woman have nothing to say. They know that this is indeed a bit too abrupt, but it doesn't matter. As long as they are dedicated enough, it will all be true.
"I think we should call on our partners who are better at handling this." Martian Manhunter suggested, "Let Aquaman do it."
"Are you sure he's good at dealing with swamps?" Batman asked doubtfully, while Superman deliberately brought up the Court of Owls.
"Remember the mysterious organization we saw in the secret room?" Superman asked: "I suspect this may not be their residence, but just a trap before they evacuate."
Batman nodded and ignored Martian Manhunter. He planned to contact Aquaman about his actions. After thinking for a while, he said: "They must be very cunning and evil. I have been in Gotham for so many years and I have never noticed that there are still people underground."
There is such a magnificent ancient city.”
"Maybe there is a loophole in your surveillance." Wonder Woman said, "But I can understand, who has nothing to do and stares at the sewer?"
Superman didn't want to talk to them about this topic anymore, but guided Batman and said, "Do you think they have something to do with that evil clone with the red eyes?"
"I think that's the weapon they left behind." Batman said: "They want to replace me with another Batman, and then trap me here forever. I will not let their evil plan succeed."
"By the way." Batman looked at Superman again and asked, "You said the recycling program was a scam. What's going on? What do you know?"
"I'm sorry, but that's what the evil Batman said to me. I'm not sure whether what he said is true, so I didn't explain it to you in detail. I'm afraid it will interfere with your judgment." Superman is surprising wherever he is.
Frankly, he spread his hands and said: "He said that there is actually no raw material recycling plan at all, and the so-called life factor does not exist. It was the Owl Court that misled your parents..."
"Tell me more about it."
"He said that the Court of Owls had mixed a toxin into Gotham's buildings a long time ago. In addition to making Gotham people crazy, it would also weaken their body's ability to repair itself, just like a certain raw material.
It seems inadequate.”
"Then they revealed the concept of the so-called life factor to the Waynes, so that they felt that by recycling themselves, they could replenish the life factor and save the world. In this way, they would take the previous superhero to self-destruct, and the Court of Owls
Then we can destroy all the superheroes without fighting."
Everyone else gasped, and Martian Manhunter said: "This is too dark. Why is this organization called the Court of Owls so evil?"
"But the shortage of raw materials is not limited to Gotham." Batman said: "Isn't it also in Metropolis?"
"We can't prove it because we lack something in our collective." Superman shook his head and said: "Currently, only the Waynes have developed this theory, but they have not left any reliable research data, only conclusions.
, there is no process.”
Batman wanted to refute very much. He felt that his parents must not be such aimless people, but as Superman said, all the research materials left by the Waynes only showed results, which only showed that there is indeed such a thing as a life factor.
, but it is not clear how they came to this conclusion.
Batman is also a scientist. He knows that the results without a demonstration process are unreliable. He cannot blatantly say that there will be no problem just because his parents are doing the research.
"In other words, the weakening of the body's self-repair ability may be a natural phenomenon?" Wonder Woman frowned and said, "Are we destined to be destroyed?"
Superman thought about Schiller's theory again. Their body's ability to repair has weakened, possibly because their universe has not been selected and is about to be forgotten.
What prompted the universe to be forgotten was the choice of the Waynes and the previous generation of superheroes. Because this kind of sacrifice was too cruel and was not accepted by some people with the right to vote, their universe would die.
Assuming that this life factor theory was actually misled by the Waynes, their purpose was actually to use the hands of the Waynes to do such cruel things so that the universe would not be selected.
And their plan was almost half successful.
They achieved their goal many years ago, and now they have released the cloned Batman. The purpose is what Batman himself said, to cause greater casualties.
Seeing ordinary people suffering, it is impossible for superheroes to sit idly by and watch. As countless lives continue to disappear, they may make the same choice as the Waynes.
But if this is the case, then cruel things will happen again, and their universe will be even more disgusted. In this case, there will be no hope at all.
Superman and others knew that the Court of Owls was actually made up, but they also felt that the Waynes' conclusion of the existence of the life factor was too hasty, and there was a possibility of being misled.
Although this behind-the-scenes organization is not necessarily called the Court of Owls, if it can guide Batman to deal with them, it will naturally have a much greater advantage than outsiders like them.
That's why Superman, Wonder Woman and other talents will cooperate to perform this play. The purpose is to make Batman believe that there is indeed a mastermind behind the scenes who misled his parents. Otherwise, in terms of his feelings for his parents, he will not be able to accept his parents.
That's the culprit that caused all this.
As long as you draw a target in the void and let Batman figure out how to hit the target, you can directly kill the person behind the target through target shooting. This is also the idea of Batman and Schiller in the main universe.
Don't worry about whether it was the Court of Owls or not. As long as someone does this, if I say he calls it the Court of Owls, he will call it the Court of Owls. It's useless if the other party says he doesn't call it the Court of Owls. Who makes you the villain?
Aquaman arrived quickly. He was the most inconspicuous person in the entire Justice League. As soon as he arrived, he waved his hands and said no. He can control water, but he needs a trident. Without this weapon, his remaining super powers
Just talk to the fish.
But it was obvious that there were no fish in the swamp that could communicate with him, and he did not bring his own weapons. There were no roads in this swamp except for the vine ropes above that could be used to grab, and the walls were also covered with spikes.
Can't leave.
And this vine is obviously unreliable - in fact, it was originally reliable, but due to problems with the splicing of parts, it is definitely unreliable now.
Just as Batman was thinking about a way to break through the level, Deadpool called Schiller. He said that he had found a location, right in the middle of the Gotham Airport.
In fact, Schiller could predict where he would look. Gotham is lined with high-rise buildings and there are not many spacious places. The roof of the Wayne Building is a good choice, but it is too high, so the airport is probably the only choice.
.
Gotham's airport is on the sea and is a result of land reclamation. It is relatively remote and it takes some time to drive there.
Schiller was going to go take a look first. After all, even if monsters were raging inside Gotham, flights were still taking off and landing normally. If they needed to open a portal there, they would have to find a way to stop the flights for a while.
Batman in the main universe also wanted to make sure that opening the portal there would not have much impact on the city, so he went there with Schiller and Tim.
This means that there is no one in the Batcave, or in other words, there is no serious person. There is still one person who is not serious, and that is Dick.
And Batman, who is going through the level, seems to be stumped by the sixth level, but in fact, besides the superheroes, there is another person who has been paying attention to them, and that is the Joker.
The Joker can't wait to see Batman's ugly expression after seeing through all this. This time he will never allow him to escape, but must make him admit in person that he is the one he hates the most.
Acting like a fool who has been fooled in front of so many friends will definitely make him hate the culprit completely. By then, whether it is the grotesque clone Batman or the sanctimonious psychiatrist,
Don't try to take away his position as the mastermind behind the scenes. Whoever stands up first and recognizes him will be the one.
Batman will definitely hate him, hate him to the core, and the Joker will already have pink bubbles popping up in anticipation just thinking about this scene.
But it still doesn't work. This damn ancient city has as many as 13 floors. So when will he see the expression on Batman's face when he breaks the defense?
They were all being deceived anyway, so it would be better to make the process shorter. The Joker thought about it and felt that it was not impossible to help Batman and let him complete the next 7 floors as quickly as possible.
This coincided with Dick's idea, so when the two met on the seventh floor, they were shocked.
Dick took the equipment from the Batcave and opened a wall directly from the sewer. He originally wanted to go to the 6th floor to help Batman get through the swamp, but he dug the hole in the wrong place and went directly to the 6th floor where there were clues.
7th floor.
The Joker wants to directly dig through the ceiling of each floor below the sixth floor, so that Batman can fall directly to the thirteenth floor.
Dick held the drill in his hand, showed a fake smile and said, "If I say I didn't come here on purpose, would you believe me?"
"What do you think?!" The clown showed an evil smile.
Soon Batman's communicator rang, and Dick's tearless face appeared on the screen, he said.
"Batman, I was kidnapped by the Joker! He threw me into the depths of a terrifying ancient city! Can you come and save me?!"
Batman's eyes widened and he said to Dick on the screen: "You mean you were kidnapped by the Joker and taken to the ancient city of the Court of Owls?! Which floor are you on?!"
"I don't know, but that madman said this is the lowest level. He also said that you don't have the ability to break in here and you can't save me. He will use a crowbar to knock me into parts..."
Superman and Wonder Woman silently took two steps back because they saw that Batman's eyes were already burning.
"The clown...the clown also said." Dick took a deep breath, and as if he mustered up great courage, he roared at the camera.
