Gotham Dark Godfather

After listening to Zhou Hao's words, Dr. Hugo calmed down, but his face was terrifyingly cold.

"What do you mean? Mr. Zhou!" Dr. Hugo said in a cold tone: "Are you planning to declare war on us?"

This was said abruptly, but it was understandable.Since Zhou Hao dares to release this kind of recording, whether it is true or false, the Court of Owls, who are worried that the secret will be exposed, will risk everything to eliminate Zhou Hao.

Faced with Dr. Hugo's questioning, Zhou Hao did not speak. Instead, he remained playfully silent and raised his feet on the table nonchalantly. This indifferent attitude silently revealed many things.

"Okay! I already understand what you mean!" Dr. Hugo stood up and walked towards the door. At the same time, he said: "I will take everything back today, but whatever the consequences, Mr. Zhou will probably still It's better to prepare early! -----Don't ever mention his name, or the sharp claws will come looking for you!"

The last part of this sentence is actually an owl nursery rhyme that is widely circulated in Gotham. The full version should be:

Beware of the Court of Owls, who watch you all the time,

A peek into Gotham City from the shadows, hidden in a low-walled attic.

He is with you when you are at home, and he is also there when you are lying on your bed.

Don't ever mention his name, the sharp claws will come after you!

In the original urban legend, the Court of Owls is watching Gotham from the dark. If anyone complains about it, it will come to claim your life with claws.Generally speaking, if you pick up a dead owl baby on the windowsill or doorway, you should pray to God or run away quickly. These are signs that the court is targeting you.

As a result, the folk song of Gotham is something that even though it is clearly not dared to be spread, it is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that it haunts the hearts of all Gotham citizens like a nightmare.

"Hugo Strange! I think you made a mistake!" Seeing the other party about to leave, Zhou Hao said leisurely: "As early as when your sharp claws scratched my stomach with the blade. , the war between us has already begun! The ones who should be enlightened are you!"

Hearing this, Dr. Hugo did not answer, just snorted, resolutely opened the door and disappeared into the long corridor.

Watching Dr. Hugo's car disappear from his sight, Zhou Hao picked up his cell phone and dialed the Riddler's number.

"Deploy a group of powerful backbones from the gang to help defend the asylum. Also, Ed, I need you to go to the swamp on the outskirts of Gotham and help me find something. This thing is very useful to me."

Compared to the stormy building of Arkham Asylum, Gotham City is already in chaos at the moment.Those high-ranking dignitaries were now in a bad situation, and the police officers were frantically searching for prey like hounds.Many wealthy people were dragged away directly from the banquet, and their charges and evidence were immediately made public. The details were so detailed that even the person involved could not refute them after seeing them.

The previous branch directors had been disgusted enough, but now that they had the opportunity, they were naturally not polite. Under Zhou Hao's instigation, they directly turned this operation into Gotham's largest operation against evil forces.

The owls, who had temporarily escaped the storm, fled underground one after another, cursing the Gotham police officers in the darkness.

"How do such dog-like guys know so many of our secrets!"

"Who knew, a room full of businessmen would come to arrest me, and no one else would touch me. Obviously they have information about me!"

"Many companions have been arrested by the police, and there is conclusive evidence. When did the Gotham police officers become so capable?"

"Is it really the leader who leaked me? Only she knows the secrets of the court best."

At this time, a rather tall guy stood up and said:

"There was news from Hugo just now that Powers' wife may have betrayed us and even made a special recording. In other words, Zhou Hao has many more secrets than we imagined. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent. If Mrs. Bowles really confessed them, the Court of Owls would be in danger of being made public, especially if these sensitive secrets fell into the hands of their enemy Zhou Hao. This situation seems very dangerous.

"No matter what, let's release the claws first!" One guy suggested: "Whether it is to get rid of the traitors or to regain control of the city, we need claws!"

This proposal was immediately approved by everyone.

"That's right, activate all the claws and solve the problem at any cost!"

"Before that woman reveals more of our secrets!"

"Let's hold a ceremony! Let the sleeping claws return to the world again!"

While the owls were hooting, Zhou Hao's Arkham Asylum was also orderly beginning to deploy its defenses.There are Zhou Hao's gangsters on the outside as a barrier, while the inside is composed of veterans who have been removed from the army. They have accurate shooting and rich combat experience.

"Attention all units, a special exercise will be conducted today. Unrelated personnel who do not have a mission, please leave Arkham Asylum immediately."

The radio in the hospital shouted loudly, and many doctors packed up and left after hearing this.Only Harley Quinn refused to evacuate on the grounds that she had to take care of patients, so she was left behind.

Compared with the medical workers who walked calmly, the guards below were as if they were facing a powerful enemy. Under the command of the Riddler, they dropped a dirty and dripping object from the truck to the door of Arkham Asylum. in the pool.

Others received additional instructions.

"In this exercise, real guns and heavy firepower weapons will be used. Anyone who breaks into Arkham will be fired directly without warning. Pay attention! There are no restrictions this time. The fire ban is lifted and everyone remains on level one alert. .”

After receiving such an order, many guards murmured inwardly.

"What on earth is going on that requires such a large-scale battle? All the heavy firearms in the warehouse have been moved out. Is it going to be a war?"

"I can't say for sure. Look at that truck just now. It was coming back from the swamp outside the city. What do you think it could be?"

"Swamp? Is that the legendary swamp where undead zombies are infested? No wonder the car smells so bad, etc. Are there going to be zombies?"

"Who knows, anyway, just be vigilant. In a ghost place like Gotham, what bad things won't happen?"

In addition to the arrangement of the guard work, Zhou Hao's men, except for Captain Boomerang who went to his hometown, have also gathered at Arkham Asylum. Only Mr. Sleeping is left on the outside, responsible for mobilizing and commanding the elite gangsters.

Everything is developing in a prepared direction.

While Arkham Asylum is preparing intensely for war, the people of the Court of Owls are not idle either.A group of people wearing exclusive owl masks gathered in the dark secret base of Gotham and were tinkering with something.

By the way, the reason why this ghost place is described as spooky is largely because it is filled with all kinds of coffins from all periods. They are piled up layer by layer. From a distance, it looks like... It's like arriving at a cemetery.

The owls obviously didn't care about this. Their number was smaller than ever before, and the claws were the last resort for these people.

"Wake up, and stand in front of us again from the smelly soil!" A man who was chattering in front of countless coffins was chanting. At the same time, he put various medicines into the instrument, as if he was brewing some secret medicine: "Open Open your eyes! Our most loyal warrior!"

"Yes! Open your eyes for us! For your court!" Others are also singing: "After a long journey, through the ghostly river of forgetfulness, you have returned to the world and your city. ----Gotham!”

As the spell continued, the originally sealed coffin cracked with a bang, and a pair of pale hands stretched out from inside. With a gentle wave, they lifted the huge lid directly. The strength was incredible.

"Haha! Let's take a look at your body. It has recovered and is no longer what it used to be. It has become stronger than before!" The owls chanted the spell hypnotically: "You drank the water of eternal life, and now you are With your immortal body, the pain in battle will also heal on its own! You will be stronger than any era in the past!" (The above lines are from the original comic book)

As the claws awakened, the owls began to step forward and inject medicine into the confused claws so that they could maintain their condition longer.The rest of the female owls were busy equipping various armors and weapons onto their sharp-clawed and burly bodies.

"All this time, the court has been silently gathering resources and accumulating strength, waiting for opportunities like a great owl, always controlling the situation in the dark, and launching a fatal blow to the enemy at any time." The person who just headed said: "Until now-- --It's time to attack and retake our city!"

When he said this, there were already countless sharp claws, densely gathered in the underground cemetery, with dull eyes and strong bodies.Waiting very respectfully to be equipped with weapons and armor.

"Very good! We are destined to defeat our enemies tonight!" A male owl member said excitedly.

"Not only do we want to defeat the enemy, but we also want to cut them into pieces and cut them into thousands of pieces!" Another female owl wailed miserably.

"In short, our enemy Zhou Hao must be eliminated!" Almost the other members' voices were read in unison.

After a while, all the Talons were covered in black robes and owl-shaped helmets, and their bodies were filled with weapons, such as throwing knives, daggers, stabbing swords, and poison.It is not even an exaggeration to say that there is no basic defense.After all, even if the claw dies within a certain period of time, it can still stand up and resurrect and continue fighting.Therefore, everything is prepared for attack.

Seeing that his trump card was completed, an Owl member took these guys from the special elevator to the top floor of their headquarters and pushed open the balcony.

"Okay! You rush to Arkham Asylum immediately and burn it to the ground. Whether they are traitors or Zhou Hao, they will make them regret being enemies of the court!"

The Talons stepped onto the balcony quietly and silently, and jumped downstairs. The specially-made gliders of their armors easily carried them towards Arkham. Their open bodies were like The strange night owl in the night sky brings ominousness and disaster to the world.

"Soon, Gotham will be back in our hands with Zhou Hao's death!"

The owl said this as he watched the claws leaving in groups.
