The Death Knell

This piece of woodland is huge, it's just ghostly, especially at night, the dark branches are like strange hands, posing suspicious poses. If you want to make a horror movie, this is what it is. Very suitable.

The ground is covered with thick fallen leaves, and it makes a rustle when stepping on it. Because of the previous global snowfall, the trees here look like this in summer.

Not far away is the manor, which looks brightly lit at this time. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of music.

"Why would anyone live here?"

Barry, who filled his mouth with chocolate to replenish energy, looked around. He saw a small van in the courtyard of the manor. It was broken and broken, and the road outside the manor was also bumpy:

"No matter whether you go to Happy Town or Providence, there are dozens of kilometers of mountain roads. Living here is probably difficult to purchase ingredients."

If you live in small towns in the United States, such as ranchers or farmers, they are often accustomed to driving a pickup truck to the town to make purchases. There will also be an oversized refrigerator at home to store food.

If a manor is so far from the city, life is not convenient. There is no sign of planting or breeding here, it is a high-end villa similar to Wayne's mansion.

"If you want to avoid the eyes of the world, this is of course a good place." Su Ming stretched out his hand and pushed the fence iron gate of the manor. The tall black door opened silently, and the fallen leaves on the ground were beaten by the wind. Several volumes: "Not everyone is suitable for living in a city, but here is more like a refuge."

While talking, he stepped into the manor and looked at the three-story building.

The building is very complete. It seems that the earth sank and it did not destroy the buildings here. It just seems that no one has ever cleaned the courtyard. The fallen leaves and debris in the yard can be seen everywhere, and there is even a somewhat deflated basketball, just thrown in front of the villa. In the fountain.

There was no water in this beautiful stone-carved fountain, but there were a few dead birds in it that were covered by leaves. I don't know if it was frozen to death before.

"It feels weird here." When the eagle girl carries her own hammer in her hands, she follows behind the death knell: "Just look at the lights and listen to the music, and you will feel warm here. But the overall feeling of the building , More like...Arkham Asylum."

The music is played on a jukebox, typical blues music, with a bit of nostalgia.

"Arkham is a nursing home." Barry corrected it. He looked at the beautiful door under the porch with a bronze carved handle on it: "The people who live in Arkham are all patients. Maybe one day they will be cured. Just like Halle."

"No one can say that Harley Quinn really recovered, or is even more crazy." The Eagle Girl glanced at the death knell, hesitated, or said: "Slade, I am not going to target her, but you are the most It's better to be careful."

"I don't think so." The Flash held his arms and waited for the death knell to knock on the door: "Harry is a good person now. I have acted with her many times. She really wants to be a superhero."

"But what happens when she gets tired of playing hero games?"

Eagle Girl shook her head. She felt that Death Knell and Barry had been deceived by the mad woman, including others in the Justice League.

Su Ming raised his hand and knocked on the door speechlessly. It didn't really matter what happened to Hallie. Whether she was going crazy or not, she had to look at it from any angle.

People are now going to Middle-earth to go racing with the Ring Spirit. If this fact is told, people who have read Tolkien's original work will surely think that the person who said this is also crazy, right?

The door knocker knocked on the door. After ten seconds, footsteps sounded inside the door. The person who opened the door was a very beautiful young woman.

It's just that she was dressed a little strangely, her hair had the hairstyle of a poster girl from the 1930s and 1940s, and she wore an old floral dress from decades ago. She also had flaming red lips with lipstick.

She seems to have walked down from a conscription poster during World War II.

"Death knell?!"

This is the advantage in the DC universe. Su Ming never needs to introduce himself. As long as this armor is seen, the other party will recognize himself in shock.

Of course, strangers often mistake him for other death knells.

"Hello, Rita, let me visit the'chief'. Is he at home? It would be even better if our friend Steel Bone was also here." Su Ming stepped forward without his master's invitation. After buying a house, speak frankly what you need.

The black and yellow armor on his body also squirmed and deformed instantly, turning into a very chic long coat and suit.

Rita Farr, a Hollywood star decades ago, was affected by the wonderful volcanic ash when she was filming in Africa and turned into a rubber man.

When emotionally excited or exposed to high temperatures, she would be unable to control her body and become a puddle of mud, so she had to withdraw from the film world and live in seclusion.

Later, I was invited by the chief to come to this secluded villa specially prepared for the marginalized superpowers, and joined the team of poor people—the Doomsday Patrol, now codenamed Elastic Girl.

She is probably over eighty years old this year. It is a bit strange to call her a girl, but who is not a little princess anymore?

Besides, as long as she doesn't get emotional, she looks like a beautiful woman in her twenties.

In addition, she is also the foster mother of the Beast Boy.

It's a pity that she doesn't want to be excited, after all, her adopted son used to die at the hands of another death knell in the past.

Because of the mood swings, the skin on her face instantly sank as if it melted, all hanging down to her chest, and her face turned into a facial pocket.

"Don't be nervous, elastic girl, we have no malice." Xiao Shan immediately got into the door and patted the lightning sign on his chest to guarantee the death knell: "He is not the death knell you know, but a friend of our Justice League. Don't be afraid, I apologize to you."

"Woohoo!"

After hearing Barry's words, the woman suddenly cried, she covered her face and ran away.

The Flash scratched his head speechlessly. He looked at the death knell, and the latter was looking at him with disgusting eyes of "You made me cry":

"Don't blame me, even though I know that the Doomsday Patrol is quite repulsive to Zhenglian, I didn't expect people to even want to talk to us."

The members of the Doomsday Patrol have more or less physical disabilities. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has also experienced a lot of tragic past. It can be said that the heart is scarred, and each has depression, but it must be forced to smile.

In the past, when they needed help, they didn't get any help, and when they needed it, they didn't get any comfort.

This team is an organization where they warm up to each other. It is more like a mutual aid group with psychological barriers, not like a superhero team. Although they also do some heroic behaviors, they have more anti-hero characteristics.

For example, a superhero will not commit suicide, but almost everyone in the Doomsday Patrol has tried to commit suicide dozens of times.

Such marginal figures will only trigger inferiority complex when you see the members of Zhenglian. The more you treat them specially, the more you will make them feel inferior. The Beast Boy is an example of using funny appearances to cover up your inner inferiority complex.

Barry was so gentle that Rita thought the Flash thought she was a handicapped and gave mercy to her.

That's why she is sad. She just wants to be treated like an ordinary person by others. Even if she beats her, it is better than pity her.
