Ultimate Assassin: Start as the sixth floor in the Continental Hotel

"Clark! Go on!"

Bruce shouted, holding the blue kryptonite in his hand and trying to throw it to Clark. However, at this moment, the ground beneath Clark and Bizarro shattered instantly, and the stalactite ceiling above also fell instantly, and they were fighting. Before Dachao and Bizarro could activate the biological force field, they both fell into the deep underground, and immediately, the entrance to the cave was completely sealed.

"Victory with more is not the way of a hero...Batman." Behind Bruce, a low and hoarse voice sounded, like years of pharyngitis. What was different from Bruce's voice was that the voice of the person behind him was much louder. Deeper and colder. “Shouldn’t the premise of justice be fairness?”

"...Who are you?" Bruce silently put away the blue kryptonite in his hand and turned around slowly. The man behind him didn't seem to be in a hurry to start fighting, so Bruce didn't take action first.

Fear comes from the unknown, and the best way to resist fear is to try every means to understand your opponent.

When Bruce saw the appearance of the person behind him, he was stunned.

The dark gray suit is similar in shape to the Bat suit, with a huge cape spliced ​​like wings. The helmet is also very similar to Batman, except that the horns are connected to the eyes. The positions of the eyes are round lenses, and the chest The circular logo is exactly the same as the one the Batman and Superboys saw at the entrance earlier.

If Batman is like a bat transvestite, then the guy in front of him is exactly like a human-shaped owl.

"I'm not your enemy, Batman."

The visitor's voice suddenly stopped being deep and dark, and instead became very normal. The timbre was even somewhat close to that of Batman in the form of Bruce Wayne's suit. He slowly walked towards Bruce, his steps were slow and his posture was casual. In Batman's eyes, this gesture seems full of flaws, but...

This situation is often the most difficult.

It's full of flaws, and to a certain extent, there are no flaws.

Seeing Bruce's alert look and his retreating steps, the person in front of him stopped, lowered his head slightly and pondered for a moment. Finally, he sighed: "I'm sorry... When I see you, I always think of the past. I Forget that Batman never trusts anyone, not even himself..."

"Introduce yourself."

The human-shaped owl smiled like a Batman villain. It looked ugly as if it had eaten a mouse. He gently placed his right hand on his left chest and whispered.

"I'm ZerOwlMan."

The same self-introduction format, the same villain smile, and those who didn't know thought they were different selves in the same world. Of course, the same cigarette voice and slightly different outfits make the two of them look more like brothers.

Bruce's eyes moved. This title seemed to have been mentioned by Chen Yan before.

ZerOwlMan, the first word is like a combination of Zero and Owl, and the combination of the last two words is similar to the night in the anti-hero world Earth-3 that Chen Yan mentioned when he made the apocalypse declaration in Wayne Manor. OwlMan is exactly the same.

And in the universe that Chen Yan mentioned, Night Owl is the "Batman" of that world!

"You are from the Court of Owls." Bruce said in a low voice, with an extra batarang in his hand, "What do you want to do?"

"What you want to do, Batman, we are just a group of people who want to protect Gotham." The hero responded softly, as if he was not worried about Bruce's sudden attack. He turned directly to face him with his back and clapped his hands. "In fact...what you are doing now is really harming Gotham."

In the semicircular space, dark grids appeared on the wall. Multiple projectors emitted light, forming pictures on the wall.

Those are the murals in the Gotham City Hall compound, but there are more than just those. These murals, based on the different shooting angles and details, seem to be located in multiple areas of Gotham, covering almost every area of ​​Gotham.

"We are not the heinous criminals you imagined. On the contrary, we have been protecting this city we love in our own way since the founding of Gotham."

"Centuries earlier than Batman."

Xiong Xiong pointed his hand towards the projection on the wall and spoke in a melodious tone. The mural above the screen began to play automatically, seeming to represent the rise and fall of Gotham City since its establishment.

Different from the murals outside, every mural in the projection screen has five figures, representing the four major families, and a strange figure wearing an owl mask.

"From the establishment of Gotham to the rise of Gotham, the Court of Owls has been guarding the city in the shadows, fighting crime and maintaining order..."

However, facing the hero's talk, Bruce interrupted him rudely: "I saw those biological weapons called 'Talon Claws'. I think the production process of those monsters is not as you said." justice."

"Oh... yes, Talon, that is an excellent invention." Xiong Xiong muttered, "Speaking of which, my previous code name in the Court of Owls was also Talon, but it was Talon-Zero. "

"But you misunderstood. All the experimental subjects who became Talons voluntarily made sacrifices to protect Gotham, just like you."

"It's just that they don't have the financial resources of the Wayne family, and their mortal bodies alone cannot save Gotham... The Court of Owls judges crimes, and they have become the enforcers of the Court of Owls."

"I'm different from those monsters who kill people at will." Batman slowly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "No one can judge others in place of the law. This is just an excuse for your killings."

"Oh, my God... It seems that you are really immersed in the hero game and can't extricate yourself, poor Bruce." The hero shook his head helplessly, and his sudden revelation of Batman's true identity also made Bruce feel his spine. Yiliang said, "Yes, I know your true identity. You know nothing about me or the court, but the court and I know everything about you..."

"Bruce Wayne is Gotham's famous playboy and billionaire during the day. He inherits the family's legacy and has countless wealth... but at night he is silenced by Gotham's criminals and becomes the real fear of Gotham. itself……"

"Speaking of which, your image and code name coincide with the original name of the Wayne family..."

"What on earth are you talking about..." Bruce frowned. The news from the hero's mouth seemed to reveal to him some of his family's past, and even...

"You don't really think that you became Batman because of your own choices, do you?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Xiong Xiong's face.

"The Court of Owls... chose you."

"Ignorant Bruce..."
