Chapter 2117 Superman's Gotham Adventure (X)

Chapter 2091 Superman's Gotham Adventure (Ten)

An extremely strange scene appeared in Gotham.

The team of scientists led by Peter dissolved the hallucinogenic drugs used to extract the mysterious components of plant toxins into orange juice and distributed them in large quantities to the lower-class people in Gotham, hoping that they could get rid of their madness as soon as possible.

The Joker Gang, represented by Harley Quinn, followed their principle of watching the excitement and not minding the big things, and believed that the people had the right to enjoy the freedom of madness, so they kept attacking the team distributing orange juice.

At the beginning, the scientists were not at an advantage, because most of the members of the Joker Gang were hooligans at the bottom of Gotham, and they had the advantage of fighting at home, and they targeted the trucks transporting orange juice and attacked fiercely.

The members of the Joker Gang were also very smart, often breaking away in one blow, not spending unnecessary time to kill people, but just snatching the orange juice and delaying the detoxification time.

The team of scientists responded by countering the original road transportation and changed it to using the vines and tree roots controlled by Poison Ivy to transport orange juice through the sewers of Gotham.

But the Jokers turned their attention to the vulnerable groups in the retail sector, that is, the children who were temporarily recruited due to lack of manpower. They attacked several welfare homes and stole the orange juice there.

If it was just the two sides fighting, it would be fine, but in this chaotic city, there has never been a clean stage. No one consciously left space for the duelists. Most of them took advantage of the chaos to add fuel to the fire, fearing that they would not add enough.

First of all, the Robin Gang, who had also been anesthetized and therefore could not be very clear-headed, their main confidence came from the fact that Batman was not at home today, and their methods were as good as the Joker's praise.

They mainly targeted the super criminals in Gotham, that is, Batman's old enemies, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, and the Mad Hatter and Hugo who had been imprisoned before, as well as the ventriloquist, in short, the Arkham team.

Because there were some problems with their brains, their methods of punishing evil and promoting good were quite innovative, making these super criminals who wanted to show their skills while Batman was away miserable.

But the super criminals were not vegetarians. After they reacted, they also started to retaliate against the group of birds who didn't know how to live or die, and used all their tricks to search for them in the city.

The fight between the Robin Gang and the criminals in Arkham Asylum also affected the team of scientists and the Joker Gang. The scene was so chaotic that it was unbearable to watch.

Clark, who destroyed the welfare home with one punch and was looking for other places for the children to live, listened to the children's chattering for a long time before he roughly figured out what was going on.

Anyway, the group of people who asked them to sell orange juice and the group of thugs in the Joker Gang were not getting along, and for some purpose, the Joker Gang chose to rob their goods.

Clark didn't know much about the villains in Gotham, so he didn't guess from the children's description of the tree roots that Poison Ivy was the one who provided orange juice for the children.

But the tree roots were indeed an important clue, so Clark decided to go deep into the sewer to investigate what the culprit who provided drugs to the children was planning in this dark place.

Gotham's sewers have a long history, and in Gotham, the word "long history" is not a compliment. It usually means that such things have been marinated by the darkness of the city.

As we all know, Superman's power comes from the sun, but there is no sun in the sewers, and energy cannot be replenished anytime and anywhere, which means that endurance is a big problem. Clark knows that he must fight quickly.

His plan is to return to the ruins of the welfare home, enter the sewer entrance where the children carry orange juice out, head all the way to the east, and enter the center of the slums through the sewers.

In this way, you can explore the secrets in the sewers and change the way to Huanglong, so as not to encounter those Gotham people with worrying mental states on the way to the Gotham slums.

The plan is good, but there is always a gap between the plan and practice. Clark from Metropolis did not realize that the sewers in Gotham are not just a public welfare facility, but there are more and darker secrets hidden there.

That's right, there was not even a second to mourn for Batman abandoning Gotham to go to Washington to become a good president of the United States. The one who immediately came to worry about the chaotic and crazy mental state of the people of Gotham was the Court of Owls!

In fact, it was not that they did not want to mourn. In theory, the Court of Owls was the one who least wanted Batman to leave Gotham, but this long night was still a bit too fast for the Court of Owls.

Although the country is big, forgetting war will lead to danger. The Court of Owls is accustomed to long-term layout, which leads to their lack of ability to respond to short-term disasters. They are afraid of the gas disaster, followed by the plant toxin disaster, and then the three-way game between the military, the FBI, and the Wayne Group. Then Bruce went to Washington, and finally the Wayne Group was forced into a desperate situation, and Batman was crowned with a yellow robe.

This series of operations did not give the Court of Owls any time to react. When they woke up from a long hibernation, everything was settled.

And it's not that they want to worry about the mental state of Gotham people, or that they are the culprits of Gotham people's madness, after all, the dark metal in Gotham was mixed in by them.

But now the problem is, they mixed it into Gotham buildings to keep Batman busy fighting crime, so that he would fall into self-doubt and waver in his will, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of it.

But now it is the Court of Owls whose will is wavering.

They don't know why the group of people above them have changed from violent and crazy ruthless criminals to masters of living who can die but not live overnight.

In the past, the dark atmosphere of Gotham was depressing, and most people were indifferent and numb, but in the past two months, it was as if this string was suddenly broken, and things began to develop in the direction of black humor.

Suffering has never been worth praising, but those ordinary people who can still enjoy themselves in the deep and dark suffering, although they are always ridiculed as morning fungus who don't know the new moon and the dark moon, how can they not be contented in another sense?

Unable to recognize, unable to change, resigned to their fate, and then surprisingly able to discover from this humble and painful fate something worth their courage and risk, regardless of the result, they can feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, more like a pilgrimage to verify the vitality of human beings.

This is not what the owl wants.

So this group of nocturnal creatures who hide their heads and show their tails squatted in their nests again and began to study what was going on.

Of course, they found that the people of Gotham could not have become like this out of thin air. The most likely possibility is that someone else drugged them, allowing them to completely break through the bottom line of madness, and even the basic logic was gone, resulting in the inability to complete the crime well, and the soil for the roots of darkness was gradually disappearing.

But then again, how come there are still people stealing business after not seeing them for a few years?

People always have a kind of cognitive inertia, and when guessing the behavior of others, they will bring in what they have done before, which can also be regarded as empiricism.

The Court of Owls believes that someone may have planned at the same time as them, and also mixed another poison into Gotham's buildings or other things, causing the poison to burst out at this juncture, leading to the current situation.

But guesses are guesses, and solutions must be found. The owl priest, who was very angry about the current situation, slapped his forehead and caught a few test subjects to see if he could find a way to detoxify.

But Bruce Wayne becoming president is also one of the factors that need to be considered. After all, the members of the Court of Owls are all dignitaries in Gotham. It's too late to hug the thighs of the new president, at least they can't offend him openly.

Fortunately, the owls also have their own set of actions. The claws they trained can jump between attics and use the mezzanines they hide in various high-rise buildings to hide their traces of actions.

Relying on past experience, the Court of Owls sent a team of claws to catch people in Gotham.

But they soon discovered that they lacked understanding of the Gotham people's ability to make a living this time.

If there are occasional strange noises in your attic, what would you do?

In the past, the people of Gotham would at most take a gun and look up, and kill all the living things they saw, but it is obvious that the Claws are not afraid of guns, so their whereabouts have never been exposed.

But this time, the Claws, who took the suburban road, just jumped into a family's attic and found that it was full of feces and urine as deep as their calves.

The Claws' raised legs trembled slightly. Their uniforms were completely waterproof, but their spirits were not.

Finally, after the Claws' investigation, the owner of this family connected the outlet of their sewer pipe to his attic.

The reason is also very simple. He claimed that someone would come to steal his urinal, and as long as he connected the sewer pipe to the attic, the other party would think that their toilet was in the attic, so when the other party went there, they would step on the trap.

The most bizarre thing about this matter is that someone really came and really stepped on it, and the other party was really a killer.

The owner of the house easily caught the Claws who unfortunately stepped on the trap.

It is not entirely their fault that Claw stepped on it. Any normal person's first reaction after jumping into the window and stepping on the feces would be to retreat and run away, and the trap was placed under the curtain.

This led to a very scary thing, that is, the threat of the owner's urinal thief was verified. Now everyone in the entire community connected their sewer pipes to the attic and placed traps under the feces.

When the Court of Owls learned of this news, it was too late. They actually lost four or five killers before they realized that they had to take a detour.

Don't ask why it was actually lost. Claw can indeed be resurrected, but it is a bit too advanced for the Court of Owls to fish out the body from the feces and resurrect the Claw that was choked to death by the feces.

The second route they chose was to go through the commercial street, that is, to use the mezzanines hidden in the high-rise buildings to observe the targets to be captured.

Fortunately, the employees of the company were not crazy enough to connect the sewer pipes to the mezzanine, and most of these companies were under the control of the members of the Court of Owls. They could ask the employees to leave early after get off work, so that the building would be vacant, providing the killers with ample space for activities.

But this is an ideal situation. In fact, the residents who connected the sewer pipes to the attic can smell the stench, but the reason they can live normally is that they don't go home at all.

To avoid being drenched in shit, they live in the company.

The claws made the residents believe that the urinal thieves are real, and that connecting the sewer pipes to the attic and putting traps is a good trick, so they all followed suit and turned their homes into cesspools.

In order to avoid a decline in their living quality, they chose to live in the company, which led to the claws that could no longer be used in the suburban bases to meet them in the company building after a long absence.
