Chapter 540 Under Gotham, the Eagle's Nest
Oh yes...yes...friends, I know what you are thinking...
It's only been a new year, so why did Superman and Batman elope (cross out) and lose contact?
Don't worry, friends, you haven't missed any plot. Although I'd love for you to go back and watch it again, but...
Let's move the time forward a little bit.
After all, I never dig a hole. If there is a hole, I fill it in on the spot...
-------------------------------------------------- ----
"Let him make trouble, he can't escape anyway."
This is the final conclusion reached by Batman and Superman on the issue of Chen Yan's madness. In fact, Batman had already received the news when Kara and Diana came into contact with Chen Yan.
The courtyard of Gotham City Hall is in a mess, with scorch marks and ice crystals everywhere. Even Clark Kent, who has seen countless big scenes, is secretly smacking his lips at this moment. Batman is serious this time. Most of the time, Batman It is so light that ordinary people can easily overlook a detail.
Batman's superpower is money.
The destructive power of the Shark's armor is basically comparable to that of a heavy tank, and its protective capabilities are also very good. Even if this thing is placed on the battlefield, it is a great weapon, and Batman's special armor is more than this. .
The two men killed everyone and ended the battle. Bruce immediately escaped from the Shark armor and began to investigate and collect evidence from the surroundings. Most of the places where these "claws" appeared were near ventilation ducts or sewers. Those big guys rushed out by breaking through the wall. According to Chen Yan, this is one of the entrances to the Court of Owls.
And Bruce also discovered something unusual here...
Gotham City Hall is the oldest building in Gotham City since its establishment. Tourists often visit here. The architectural style is very retro and it is also one of Gotham's landmark buildings. If you want to understand the history of Gotham, then coming here is the best choice, because in the courtyard of Gotham City Hall, there are a series of relief murals on the walls, which vividly depict Gotham from its birth to Today’s development and changes…
The anomaly that Bruce discovered was on this relief.
Gotham was originally a heavy industrial city based on mining. The coal mines and iron mines here were developed. In the early years, a large amount of excavation work was accompanied by the rise of the steelmaking industry. The air quality in Gotham has always been very poor. There are also many excavated objects in the mines. Important chemical raw materials have enabled Gotham's chemical industry to develop rapidly... and the relief mural located on the innermost side describes this period.
On top of the mural, there are five strong men, either carrying long round pillars or making conversational gestures. Two of them seem to have just set up the detonating device for blasting the mine, and in the center of them is a man holding a large Hammer guy.
Under normal circumstances, only four characters will appear on all dated murals in Gotham City. Regardless of male or female, they represent the earliest and oldest four major families in Gotham's history: Wayne, where Batman's father's family is located. family, the Elliot family where Silence belongs, the Kane family where Batman's maternal line belongs, and the Cobblepot family where Penguin belongs. But there is an extra person on this mural.
The guy holding the big hammer has no face. I don't know if it's because the rocks on his face have been eroded over time, or if it's just that way. He has slender eyes, no mouth and nose, and a newsboy cap on his head. He seems to be observing the behavior of the two explosives...
But Bruce felt that it was more like surveillance.
Because the face with only two eyes looked like a pure white mask, shaped like an owl...
True concealment means hiding right under your nose and you can't even detect it. Batman has been guarding Gotham for decades, but he didn't notice these hidden details.
Chen Yan said that this is just one of the entrances to the Court of Owls, which made Bruce even more certain that the opponent he faced this time may have roots that have spread throughout Gotham...
Clark on the side pointed at the faceless man in the relief mural with blank eyes, and said doubtfully: "I always feel... there is a weird energy fluctuation."
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but this thing makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Bruce immediately turned on the AR scan. From the AR perspective, the face of the faceless man's relief lit up with a faint green shimmer. Bruce put his finger on it and rubbed it a little. It turned out that the thing could be scraped off... …
The AR analysis showed that this thing has a structure similar to kryptonite, but the purity is not that high. It seems to be some kind of powder used for marking.
"Jadarite rock powder." Bruce rubbed the powder on his fingertips and said solemnly, "The essential ingredient is sodium lithium borosilicate, which should be produced in Siberia... The composition of this rock is similar to It's very similar to Kryptonite, but it doesn't contain fluorine, and it's not refined, so it won't affect you that much, Clark."
"Hey, you know I hate Kryptonite, even if it's like Kryptonite." Superman rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I almost got into a fight with Hal when you recruited him into the Justice League. He was wearing fluorescent green. I always feel that his light ring will have an impact on me..."
Bruce did not respond, but pondered. He adjusted the scanning band of the AR scan to the radiation band of the powder, and conducted directional scanning through the specific band. As expected, a thin line emitting light green light from the AR perspective followed the The mural extends towards a deeper wall...
And when Bruce looked along the extending luminous thin lines, he discovered that there was a painting composed of thin lines on the deep wall. It was... a huge owl with wings spread!
The owl's feet were stepping on a door frame. In the center of the door panel of the double door was a circular pattern, with two diagonal lines dividing the perfect circle, like an owl's head.
"it's here."
Bruce lowered his voice and walked towards the Owl Door. Clark followed closely and came to the front of the wall.
The wall made of rock remained motionless. Bruce touched the circular mark in the center of the door and felt a slight looseness. Then he suddenly pressed down the mark in the center with force!
"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."
The wall began to shake, large pieces of dust fell, and the Owl Gate split from it and moved to both sides. A deep and dark passage was displayed in front of the two Batmen.
"Emm, with such a small hole, I guess your armor won't be able to get in." Clark glanced at Bruce beside him and laughed with some schadenfreude. "Can you do it? Bat-man?"
"The armor is just an auxiliary..." Bruce raised the corner of his mouth in a stiff arc with a smile, "Take care of yourself, Kryptonian."
"Your smile is scarier than the villain..."
Clark angrily turned his gaze to the deep hole in front of him.
"Shall we walk up?"
Bruce's raised corners of his mouth gradually lowered, his eyes were cold, and he made a low and hoarse voice.
"Yeah..."
