Ed came out of the room yawning, a sandwich he packed at the convenience store last night.

It is already business hours, but usually no one will come in the morning, and Mr. Rambo did not come to work today.The employees are lazily chatting and watching TV in the restaurant on the second floor.

At this time, the Gotham Daily was broadcast on TV, and the familiar female anchor said: "The Gotham Daily reports for you an unexpected case from last night. The police found a female body on Fifth Avenue. After preliminary investigation, the dead The time is between one and two o'clock in the morning..."

The employees exploded at once, and the financial sister with red hair put the tea cup heavily on the table: "This is right next to us! It's only been a few days since Andre's incident! God, Gotham is getting worse and worse." It's safe."

Another employee snorted coldly: "When is it safe, counting on GCPD is worse than counting on Batman to catch the criminal quickly."

Ede gnawed on the sandwich silently. What she thought was that she hadn't slept for five days, and she must "sleep" today.

When it was time to get off work, everyone hurriedly packed up their things and left.The red-haired financial sister paused when she passed by Ed: "Ed, you are not from Gotham, right?"

"Maybe?" Ed replied uncertainly.

"That's right, I don't think you look like that either." The red-haired financial sister showed a kindly smile: "The surrounding area of ​​the museum is not very safe. I advise you not to live here. If you are away from It’s time for you to go home now. Gotham is very unfriendly to outsiders.”

Ed shrugged and said he knew.

Gotham is one of the cities with the highest crime rate in the country, but its economy is quite developed. There are many reasons: Gotham, as a port city on the east coast, has gradually transformed from heavy industry in the early stage to port business, and now vigorously develops finance and technology. Always keep up with the trend of the times, so Gotham will not decline.However, as a port city, Gotham is also a natural birthplace of gangs, giving gangs a lot of nourishment, from politicians to porters, they are full of gangs.And the gangsters have also reached an agreement with the political circles to pay taxes on time, which is a win-win situation in a way.

However, the decline of heavy industry in the early days led to a sharp increase in unemployment, and the port brought in many immigrants, but Gotham could not absorb so many employed people, so what the people at the bottom would do - one can imagine.Beneath the glitz of this beautiful city, the dark alleys are full of crime.

After she left, Ede also walked out of the gate of the museum and walked towards a pharmacy at the junction of Fourth and Fifth Avenues.

Ede opened the door and entered the store. There was only a fat man in a white coat sitting at the counter smoking a cigarette. She walked to the counter and said, "Prescribe me 2 bottles of alprazolam tablets." Internet cafes have done their homework.

The fat man took out two small white bottles from behind the counter and threw them to Ide: "For anti-anxiety use, take one tablet at a time, three times a day; for sedative and hypnotic use, take one or two bottles before going to bed, a total of 1 yuan."

After buying the medicine, Ede celebrated at the Mexican restaurant. Although his wallet was deflated a lot, Ede ignored it for the time being.After returning to the museum, although it was still dark, she took 2 pills and lay down on the bed, looking forward to sleep.

Can't sleep... Ide tossed and turned agitatedly, she felt a little nauseous now, she didn't know if it was because she was too full or too sleepy.She stared at the white medicine bottle on the table and suddenly realized that ordinary people could take 2 pills, but her sleep disorder was obviously not ordinary.She poured a handful into her hand, about a dozen or so, and swallowed it all at once.

She wrapped the quilt tightly, closed her eyes, and tried her best to ignore the whispers in her ears.The overdose of sleeping pills finally took effect, and Ide felt that the broken voice was getting farther and farther away from her...

Adam Rambo was sitting on the sofa, the living room was dark and only the TV was on, and the well-dressed experts began to analyze the future situation of Gotham, the approval rate of the mayor and so on.He became more and more irritable when he heard it. He took a sip from his wine glass, then picked up the remote control and pressed the mute button.

The whole room was eerily quiet. He leaned on the sofa and thought wildly. He thought of the crutch for a while; he thought of "Master Criminal" for a while; ——Since the appearance of this girl, it seems like a turning point, everything has changed.

Beside the wall is the grandfather clock that Adam Lamb bought from Germany at a high price, and the hands of the clock move quietly.

"When—" the grandfather clock made a long chime, and it was exactly twelve o'clock...

Afterwards, Adam Rambo opened his eyes, his honest and kind facial features were distorted all of a sudden, crazy flames seemed to be ignited in his eyes, and water flowed from the corners of his mouth, he looked like he was locked in a cage for desire A beast that chooses to eat.

He picked up his crutches and subconsciously walked towards Fourth Avenue.

The nights in Gotham are always wet, except for nightingales and criminals, only poor employees who bear all the burdens of the family will walk alone on the stone bricks of Gotham in the early morning.Sean hugged his briefcase tightly and hurried home, his eyes kept vigilantly watching the dark corners around him.

There was something in his ears—humans had human voices, beasts had beastial voices; and it was so creepy when one voice called out another type of voice.He didn't even dare to look behind, and ran forward without looking back, and then his collar was caught by something, and he fell heavily to the ground.

He let out a panicked scream in horror: "What are you trying to do! Help!...No, no, please..."

The masked lunatic smashed the weapon in his hand hard on his head, blood blurred his vision, and then he realized that the lunatic was holding a cane.

Such tragedies are not over, and Adam Rambo has not stopped his "hunting".

After his sinister, angry eyes fixed on a nightingale again, he repeated his tricks and dragged the screaming nightingale into the alley. The woman's sharp nails scratched his arm, and he retaliated. Broken the woman's right hand.

A black shadow flashed above his head, and the black creature with jagged wings slammed into Adam Rambo heavily. Adam Rambo was kicked to the ground, and his venomous eyes looked at the tall man who also wore a mask in front of him. , the man is wearing a one-piece black tights, under which the muscular and strong muscles can be seen at a glance. On the chest is a black bat logo, which reflects the cold light under the street lamp.

Adam Rambo took out his pistol, but shot at the injured Nightingale on the ground, buying time for himself to escape.After Batman threw the Batmark at him, he didn't give chase immediately, because the woman was too badly injured, and she would bleed to death soon if left unattended.

The police from the ambulance and GCPD soon arrived at the scene. Batman handed over to Gordon. After the police searched, they found 3 dead bodies, not including the nightingale.

"The same as yesterday's murderer's method, another madman was born!" James Gordon gritted his teeth with an angry face.Batman standing next to him also had cold eyes.
