I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 161 Forest Owl
Although there was a small episode at the end, as the price of obtaining information, this risk can be said to be completely worth it.

This is Jacques' feeling after sitting next to the owl's hospital bed in the medical room of the cabin, after listening to the owl's report of the information she obtained by mixing in the owl court.

"You mean, the Court of Owls originally had a dedicated line to supply electricity to various real secret places hidden under Gotham, but the power supply was interrupted due to the flood attack of the drowned ghosts—as long as the electricity Once the supply is restored, can the summoning ceremony be completed within a few hours?"

Lin Ou nodded. She was half sitting on the hospital bed now, and the injuries on her body seemed to have fully recovered through her powerful self-healing ability.

"However, they seem to intend to use the claws to manually transport the high-energy battery to complete the ceremony, but unfortunately, that's all I can hear because I was quickly put back into the culture cabin to freeze and reset the memory, And because it has already failed once, it was arranged for this suicide mission."

Jacques gently supported his chin with his hands, his brows were slightly frowned, and he was lost in thought.

It seems that even if Brucey continues to flood Gotham like this, it will only be a temporary delay.The Court of Owls will look for ways to continue the ritual, so it's only a matter of time before the rest of the Dark Knights awaken.

"Owl, about the hiding place of the Court of Owls."

The forest owl pursed its lips, and shook its head slightly with a solemn expression.

"Their hideouts are numerous, and the ones they use seem to be abandoned for a long time. All I know is that almost every old building in Gotham City has a 13th floor mezzanine as a secret meeting room for the Court of Owls, and there may be Other places we don't know about Talon."

Jacques sighed, he already knew this from the comics in his previous life.As a mysterious organization that has been secretly controlling Gotham for hundreds of years, the number of secret places left by the Court of Owls in Gotham City is countless.

In this case, random searching based on the location provided by the forest owl will most likely be in vain.It is even possible to startle the snake, and the other party will know the owl's betrayal-in this case, the information provided by the owl will be useless.

After all, the other party doesn't know that Lin Ou has told Jacques their plan, and they will probably act according to the original plan. This is Jacques' biggest advantage at present.

After pondering for a moment, Jacques nodded and stood up.

"Thank you Lin Owl. According to the original agreement, I should set you free now. But since the owl court cannot find that you were not buried in the second floor of the sewer, you may need to temporarily hide here for a while— —”

As soon as Jacques finished speaking, Lin Ou suddenly jumped up from the hospital bed with quick movements and jumped in front of Jacques. Jacques was startled, and took a step back subconsciously.

What's going on, is it because the sequelae of being brainwashed by the owl court have not been completely eliminated?
But Jacques quickly denied his idea, because he realized that his sense of crisis did not send out an alarm, and after the owl landed in front of him, not only did he not make any attacking movements, but he half-kneeled down, touching the ground with one hand and the other. One hand clasped to the chest.

"Mr. Jacques. I have a feeling of unsympathy."

"Stand up first and then talk, if there is anything I can do to help."

"I hope to be Mr. Joaquin's helper and do my best for you."

Jacques grabbed the arm of the owl and pulled it hard. The owl seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to pull it at all, and she looked at Jacques with firm eyes.

"I was originally just an ordinary person, trained as a gymnast since I was a child, but because I was targeted by the court of owls, my family was killed by a deliberately arranged 'accident' design, and I was transformed into a murderous weapon with blood on my hands .”

"During the time I was defeated by Batman and imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum. I gradually recovered the memory of being a human being, and cursed myself who worked for the enemy, hating myself as a monster that can no longer be regarded as human body"

"I am very grateful to Batman for pulling me out of that hell, but for me who can't revenge and can't sleep, this time in Arkham is just another kind of hell-until Mr. Joaquin you put I was brought out of Arkham, and given the chance to take revenge on the Court of Owls."

"At that time, I swore that I would completely destroy the Owl Court this time even if I risked my life—and if I survived by chance, then my life will be handed over to you to use as you please."

Jacques looked at the hopeful eyes of the owl, thought for a while and did not speak. Just as the owl's eyes gradually dimmed due to disappointment, Jacques also squatted down, reached the level of the owl, and reached out to her. hands.

"I understand, Lin Ou. When this incident is over and the problem of the owl court is completely resolved, I will provide you with a job. Please take care of me."

A look of joy flashed in Lin Ou's eyes, and they held Jacques' hand and stood up together.

If it was in the past, Jacques would only feel troubled when encountering this kind of backlash, just like Caroline was stopped by him when he wanted to dedicate herself.

But now Jacques really feels that in this world, if there is not enough power, it is impossible to live a peaceful life-Amanda Waller can turn him into a wanted criminal with one order and completely destroy him. life, the Owl Court is behind such a big incident, and I can only be aware of it later.

Therefore, Jacques began to need more help. Compared with the cruel witch and the free suicide squad, a loyal and skilled front claw is undoubtedly a better help.

Of course, it will take some time to observe whether the owl is worthy of Jacques' complete trust.

Seeing the forest owl obediently returning to the hospital bed, Jacques sighed softly and left the medical room.

But when he walked out of the room, he found a familiar figure standing outside the corridor.

"When did you come here? It's not a good habit to eavesdrop, Miss Bruce."

With his arms folded in front of his chest, Bruce, who was leaning against the wall of the corridor, raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Just when the girl was swearing her allegiance to you, I noticed that I was outside at the wrong time, so I decided to wait for a while—but I didn't expect that you are quite popular with girls."

Jacques waved his hand and said disapprovingly.

"Don't be kidding, the actual age of the owl can be my great-grandmother. Let's go, Bruce, I probably have a new plan of action for the next step."
