Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 167 Bell Tower
"Charlie, are you done?"

In the old town, Maggison contacted Charlie while rushing towards the clock tower.

Charlie's Bow has many functions, voice changing is just one of them.

"Don't worry, I'm done here, what about your side?"

Magison nodded in satisfaction when he heard Charlie's answer.

"I have gained a lot here. Gordon does have clues that may be where the nuclear bomb is hidden. I have already got it. The specific situation will be discussed when we meet."

"Charlie, take care to hide, so that you won't be discovered."

"Ha, I should be the one who told you that. Who would doubt me?"

Charlie grumbled.

"Hmph, if I'm lucky, I can find out the location of the nuclear bomb today."

McKesson smiled confidently.

"Good luck."

After speaking, Charlie ended the call.

At this time, Maggison had also arrived near the clock tower.

The old town is different from other areas and has not suffered much damage.

After all, the GCPD's headquarters and city hall are here, and the number of residents is not many, and the average quality is much higher than that of the residents in the East District or Audisburg District.

Therefore, there have been almost no riots here, and a large number of civilians are hiding in their homes and do not go out.

The only ones that were severely damaged were the GCPD headquarters and the city hall.

And it is very interesting that Bane did not destroy the city hall, but renamed it the New Gotham Supreme Court, and all the judges were served by Gotham City residents.

Bain and other gang members didn't care how they filed the lawsuit or tried it.

It's just that these "judges" are given a law enforcement team composed of gangster thugs. As long as they are asked to arrest people, they will not even frown.

Bane... No, it should be said that Thalia's handling of human nature has reached an incomparably precise point.

An ordinary person who has not been trained in professional legal awareness, the moment he obtains judicial power, the darkness in his heart will be infinitely magnified.

The weakness of human nature is clearly revealed at this moment.

Don't expect them to do things according to the content of the legal clauses, because no one will really read the criminal law.

The so-called trial of these people is firstly to prohibit people from resisting the rule of gang organizations such as Bain, and secondly to depend on their own preferences.

As long as you meet someone you don't like, no matter whether the other party provokes you or not, you will arrest him for trial.

When you see a woman you like, if the other party does not agree to spend the night with you, you will also be arrested and judged.

Spitting?Grasp!

Begging on the street?Grasp!

Helpful?Grasp!

Had an altercation?Grasp!

Crossing the road with your left foot?Grasp!
Grandma can't read traffic lights by herself?Grasp!
Gathering a crowd to fight?Go on!
Such a child's play trial, naturally, there is no such thing as an unsolved case, and the case was closed in less than 2 minutes after the court session, and all the prisoners were undoubtedly guilty.

If you are guilty, you will be punished.

In some cases, they were shot, and in severe cases, they were stripped naked, tied up and thrown into the Queens River.

It doesn't sound like much, but it's winter in Gotham right now.

There is already a layer of ice on the river, which is not too thick now.

They will let the "prisoner" walk on the ice wearing only close-fitting clothing, and someone behind him will point a gun at him, and shoot as long as he stops.

Walking on the icy ice with bare feet, it will not be long before the feet will be paralyzed by the cold, and they will die at gunpoint after their movements freeze.

If you are lucky enough to get out of the sight of the gangsters, it doesn't mean you have the possibility of surviving.

Either freeze to death on the ice, or step on the ice and drown in the river.

Anyway, in the eyes of the person making the judgment, there is no penalty other than the death penalty.

So far, more than 200 innocent people, men, women and children, have died under trial.

Therefore, the corruption of the entire world is hidden in the hearts of people, and there is a demon hidden in each of us.

If power and freedom are not restricted, it will inevitably lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong.

It's no wonder that no one in the old city is willing to go out, who would dare.

The "judges" don't do business every day, and lead their law enforcement team of dozens of people to run amok in the old city from morning till night.

McKesson has brushed shoulders with several law enforcement teams so far.

"Is the frequency of these people's patrols a bit too high?"

In an artificial pool 50 meters away from the Gotham clock tower, Maggison suddenly floated up from the surface of the water.

After he dodged a law enforcement team just now, another patrol team appeared within two steps, forcing Maggison to temporarily jump into the pool to hide.

The bell tower itself is a tall building with a height of about 50 meters, and the top is a spire design.

On the southeast side under the spire is a huge clock, which can keep running without electricity.

Accuracy needs to be calibrated every two years or so.

Although the bell tower itself is 50 meters high, the whole building has no floors and no entrances and exits. The interior of the building seems to be completely solid.

Because the original intention of Wayne Enterprises to invest in the construction of the clock tower was to build a tourist attraction purely for sightseeing, and did not consider actually putting it into use.

In this case, of course, there is no need to design such things as floors in the clock tower.

But McKesson knew it was just a facade.

The bell tower has an entrance, but the entrance is at the top of the tower.

Bruce specially built a secret room in the five-meter space on the top floor of the clock tower, which houses the bat computer, which can monitor all the cameras in Gotham in real time.

It is also the place where the oracle works in the original book.

McGison wasn't sure if the Riddler's riddle pointed to the clock tower meant that Batman's secret base had been discovered in the clock tower.

You can only know it when you go to the top of the tower.

McKesson looked around.

It is almost impossible to go directly to the top of the tower from the ground.

However, at a position of about 30 meters, another ordinary building next to the back of the bell tower should be used as a springboard.

It's easy to go up with a grappling gun.

The rope of the Magison grapple gun also happened to be 30 meters, so it would be too easy to go up on the roof of the next building if it was not on the ground.

The troublesome question was how Maggison was going to get to the roof of the building next door.

Because there are nearly a hundred armed thugs guarding the building.

When Maggison tried to get closer to the building, he heard very messy footsteps and a large number of people inside.

He even vaguely saw a figure flashing through the window, every floor.

Maggison immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly changed the route and returned to the original road. If he walked a few steps forward, he might be seen.

These people are obviously not the law enforcement team, and each of them wears a black skull mask on their faces.

Also wearing a uniform suit.

Needless to say, they are Black Mask's subordinates.

Maggison observed the building with a telescope on the roof of an abandoned shopping mall diagonally opposite the clock tower.
