Contrary to the impression of its chubby head and short body, owls are classified as large birds of prey.

They like to hunt small mammals at nightfall.Voles, snakes, small birds, and bats are all on their diet, and once targeted, it is difficult to escape.

The same goes for the barn owl, whose asymmetrical ears allow it not to miss the subtle sounds of each prey.The face plate with pale fluff is like a pure white mask covering its face. When it is locked by the pair of black eyes, there is always an illusion that it will be attacked by the pair of sharp beaks at some point.

But this barn owl kept by Maria Bowles is surprisingly docile.When she opens the small door of the golden cage, the bird of prey will flap its wings obediently from her shoulders and fly into the cage, stand on the support prepared for it, and Maria will untie the other end of the cage. The golden chains on its feet were fastened to the golden cage door.

"Good boy." She smiled appreciatively, clapped her wrinkled old hands, and the bodyguard next to her understood what she meant, took out a piece of bloody raw meat from the car refrigerator, and threw the meat with the skin directly into it. in the cage.Only then did the barn owl show its ferocity, let out a piercing cry, and bit its reward almost ferociously.

Obviously, she is in a much better mood than the previous few days, perhaps because she is very satisfied with the results of the meeting just now, which may lead to bloody storms in Gotham in the next few months, and the bottom officials will also change. A big wave of blood.But this has nothing to do with her bodyguard and driver. For them, the most important thing is not to face that cloudy face.

No one spoke anymore, and the black modified Bentley started smoothly, advancing on the foggy streets of Gotham.

But within a few minutes, the driver stepped on the brakes, and the owl in the cage fluttered its wings a few times, Maria frowned, "What's going on?"

"I'm really sorry ma'am, but look..." He pointed to the front window with cold sweat on his face. The high beams can only illuminate a small section of the road in front of me. "The visibility is too low. I think it may be dangerous to continue driving."

"..." The corners of Maria's mean lips drooped unhappily. After a long time, the driver was sweating profusely before she nodded, "Slow down, drive slowly, I have nothing to worry about."

"Boom, boom." Someone knocked on the window covered with privacy film. From the inside of the car, you could only see the firm abs outlined by the visitor's blue-black tights, and the light blue V-shaped stand-up collar. Stretching upwards, revealing a small half of the wheat-colored chest, "Good evening. Mind if I come in and have a sit?"

At this moment, the bodyguards in the car unanimously pulled out their hidden pistols and pointed them at the window, but Maria smiled knowingly. She smiled and pressed the gun of one of them, "Open the door and let our guests in."

So the bodyguard sitting on her right was kicked out of the car, and Bentley moved forward slowly again, but the person sitting there was already a young hero wearing an Elvis-style stand-up collar, which looks a bit outdated now The clothes on his body perfectly outline his muscular lines, which can be regarded as a side effect that a handsome guy is the same handsome guy no matter what he wears, although the handsome guy has a bit of covered bruise on his left face, which looks a bit An eyesore.

The reared owl hooted a few times hostilely, but she silenced it with a look, and then Maria pushed him a cup of coffee, scraping the bone cup with her long and sharp nails, and she smiled. The look was even a little bit kind, "It feels good to be home, doesn't it?"

Ye Yi's coat was still stained with moisture from his hasty journey, he didn't take the cup of coffee, and refused with a decent smile: "Thank you ma'am, but unfortunately, I don't really need this tonight , After finishing my work, I will go back to rest."

"Your job, yes." Maria withdrew her hand, the anger was not visible on her face, and the tone was still friendly and familiar, "To be honest, I thought you were done with dear Mr. Bat, little bird .”

This question froze Ye Yi's smile, "Of course, we are done, and I'm working alone now. So, to be precise, you should call me Ye Yi."

It seems that the rumor in Gotham is true, the golden boy really fell out with the dark knight. "Okay, Ye Yi." She read the word heavily, and the smile on her face became more and more kind, but Ye Yi only felt creepy, like a witch in a candy house smiled and prepared a table full of delicious food for herself, and He knew that she was just thinking about where the sip would be the most delicious, "If that's the case, why did you come to me on such a night? There should be many girls who want to date you."

"Yes, I turned them down because I had a more important date." Nightwing gave a flawless professional smirk, borrowed from his adoptive father, the daytime version.Baby Bruce's personal smile is effective, even a woman like Maria can be dazed for a moment.

So he repeated, "I'm conducting a small social survey, of course, without telling the truth from an arrogant and controlling guy." Hearing this, a trace of satisfaction crossed Maria's face, which was captured by Ye Ye. In Yishou's eyes, his face remained unchanged, but he almost got the answer he wanted, "I found some... news that shocked me. So, I have some questions, and I wonder if you would like to answer them for me?"

Maria's eyes darkened, "Of course. What is it, my boy?"

Nightwing felt goosebumps on his arm under his uniform, could he leave it to Bruce to betray his appearance next time, sincerely, "Have you heard of the Court of Owls?"

The white-faced owl flapped its wings abruptly, and the sound of feathers slicing through the air was very harsh in the silent car where only the sound of the engine could be heard.

"It's really straightforward, but I appreciate young people like you." She smiled. "If the owl you are talking about is the kind of raptor that feeds on small birds and bats, then of course I have heard of it."

If it was Batman herself who came today, she would keep silent to the end and never reply. When there is no direct evidence pointing to the relationship between the Bowers family and the court, even a bat maniac cannot treat her like this. Torture of innocent citizens.

But today it's Nightwing, a robin who left the nest and threw himself into the net, a robin who is already a perfect finished product.Teaching him the beauty of the court step by step will cost more than the immature Robin, but the finished product is definitely worth it.

Maria smiled and groped for the signal transmitter embedded in the car door on the left, the vibration frequency from it meant that the loyal killer of the court was about to capture this blue bird with beautiful wings for her, "Boy, you know What will happen to the robin who left the nest without permission?"

Ye Yi tensed his muscles calmly, and the short stick was within reach of his waist, "Sorry ma'am, I don't know. Also, I would rather you call me a man, I am an adult."

Maria smiled, not sure if it was because of his words, or because the beacon of the Talon she was confident in was close at hand.

"Boom!" Something heavy was smashed on the roof of the car, and a human figure was sunk in the bulletproof carport, and some sharp object pierced his abdomen and nailed him to the car.The wet and fishy liquid flowed down the pointed dagger, the driver screamed in horror and slammed on the brakes, the startled owl flapped its wings impatiently, and the piercing hissing sound was accompanied by the sound of the sharp weapon being pulled out. sounded—

Then, there was a young girl's voice, and she asked briskly: "What are you playing? Can you bring 'us' with you?"
