The Collection of The End

—DC—

Gotham.

Batman stood at the entrance of the sewer, slightly hesitant.

Of course, he is not worried about smell or filth, which is not worth mentioning compared to the possible harm caused by "killer crocodile". What's more, in order to deal with lunatics like scarecrows, the bat mask has its own filtering function, so there is no need to worry about this at all. In addition, because Gotham is rainy, there is no long-term siltation in the drainage system, there is not much pollution in the various pipe networks of the sewer, and naturally there is not much odor.

But here is the problem.

Since the environment of the sewers is at the level of "tolerable" and "easy to get used to", homeless homeless and criminals will use it as a foothold. If Batman rushes in, the ensuing escape and counterattack will definitely After alerting the killer crocodile, he took the initiative to attack himself.

In fact, if Killer Crocodile was a "neutral evil" with a well-planned crime, Batman wouldn't have beaten Penguin, who didn't appear to have committed a crime, and had nothing to do with his phone call.

Like the Scarecrow, the Riddler, and the Mad Hatter, he is a "chaotic evil" who will destroy or harm others without warning or reason.

According to documented information, the original name of the "killer crocodile" was Waylon Jones (Waylon Jones), suffering from a special atavistic disease, with crocodile-like scales on his body, and was playing with lions in a traveling circus. The job is similar to drilling a fire ring. The circus boss bullied him that he had no culture and could not go out shopping on his own, and kept the wages paid to him very low until one day a new employee who helped him buy things leaked his mouth, and the killer crocodile Finding himself deceived for years, he bites off his boss's arm and runs away, turning to robbery where he no longer needs a job.

Maybe the killer crocodile in the circus period still has reason to try to communicate, but after letting his nature go for so long, he has completely turned into a beast. He recruited to Gotham.

In any case, this extremely unstable factor must be controlled, even if the target of his harm is Falcone's gangster.

So on how to subdue killer crocodiles by avoiding ordinary people and ordinary criminals in the sewers...

After spending three minutes formulating the four plans, Batman wrapped himself in a cape and escaped into the darkness, burrowing into the sewer like a real bat.

——

Boom! Boom!

"Hello~Guest~Welcome to visit Jack's Circus~"

“[…]”

It's hard for Batman to describe how he feels at the moment.

He did not alert the criminals and the homeless during the whole process. He also analyzed the hiding place of the killer crocodile from the words of those people. Finally, when he sneaked all the way and was about to reach the den of the killer crocodile, a green-haired clown in a long purple suit jumped out. Carrying a gong in it, it was beating.

"[You and Killer Crocodile are in the same group?]" he asked, staring at the clown.

"What is the killer? Oh, you mean poor Mr. Jones?" The clown pretended to wipe his tears with the back of his hands: "He is so pitiful, even if he bites off the arm of the former boss, he can't escape the fate of working overtime for the black-hearted current boss. ~”

"[You said Maroney?]" Batman frowned.

One of the speculations about why Maroney recruited the Killer Crocodile is that he somehow controlled the beast, which was even more terrifying than the beast itself being uncontrolled.

"What? That clown?" The clown stared and banged the gong twice: "He's working for me, Joe Cole, Jack now!"

"[So you're the 'current boss of black heart'.]" Batman pointed out the loophole in his words.

"Oh! My God! For God's sake! The audience has guessed it!" The Clown danced, "Boss Jack decided to give this guest a discount! 20% off!"

That actually doubles the price.

Batman looked at the Joker silently, not answering the question.

Boom, boom.

The Joker struck the gong twice, turned it over and flattened it, staring at Batman with a pitiful expression: "Sir, have mercy on me, if I can't sell the tickets, the black-hearted boss will put me on the line. Baked and eaten."

How are you going to bake yourself?

Batman pursed his lips and threw two bat darts into the gong.

"Oh! My God, thank you for this generous gentleman!" The clown held the bat dart high, and then his face changed: "Bastard! It's mine! I'm not allowed to tip you!"

Batman watched as the Joker first shoved the bat dart into his suit pocket with a grim face, then became dejected and heartbroken, and decided not to intervene in this incident of the boss squeezing employees.

"Oh, let the guests laugh, the boss has always been like this, always bullying the ticket salesman." After a few seconds, the clown turned into a welcome waiter or someone else: "Now, please come in."

In any case, the killer crocodile should have discovered such a big commotion long ago, and we can only hope that he is really controlled by this strange clown.

Batman silently followed the Joker, who was banging the gong as he walked deep into the sewers.

About ten minutes later, the sewer suddenly opened up, and an empty underground hall with a diameter of nearly 100 meters appeared in front of it, and in the center was a giant cistern that took up nearly 80% of the space.

squeak, squeak, squeak...

In the reservoir, dozens or even hundreds of crocodiles are densely wandering. The impact of this picture makes Batman, who is mentally strong enough, stop subconsciously.

"What are you doing! Who allowed you to be lazy!" The clown banged the gong: "Keep working!"

After being interrupted by the Joker, Batman saw that the killer crocodile he was looking for was sitting on the other side of the pool, silently watching the group of crocodiles in the water.

Does "sewer crocodile" actually mean literally?

While Batman always has a plan, a plan to arrest a single individual is clearly not the same as a plan to capture a group of beasts.

While Batman was thinking quickly and making new plans, Killer Crocodile was awakened by the sound of the clown's gong, looked at him and Batman first, and then turned his head to the group of crocodiles in the water with no interest:

"[We are the same kind.]"

"[Predation, important matters.]"

"[Evolution, return to the large group.]"

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

The crocodile group stared at Killer Crocodile before he could speak, rubbing each other and gnashing his teeth as he spoke.

"Oh, what a moving performance that makes you cry." The clown wiped his eyes with a handkerchief and blew his nose.

While the killer crocodile problem appeared to be resolved, a bigger and more serious problem arose.

—DC—

Gotham, Underground Drainage.

"[Mission, Shaping the Environment]"

‘[You, rich in nutrients]’

"[Prey, then evolve]"

boom! boom! Boom!

"[Bastard! What are these things!]"

"If you guessed right! It's a relative of your wife!"

"[I will cut ties with them now!]"

Jin Jingzheng fought against hundreds of "Murlocs" with Thomas Curry, who was wearing "Sea King" armor.

They're, no, they're roughly humanoid, but they've mutated in various parts of the body, like fins or spikes that grow along the spine, scaly armor that covers the body, webs that grow between the fingers and toes, sharp teeth in the mouth And the volume has twice the original size of the eyes.

They all murmured words of inexplicable meaning, and attacked Jin Jing and Curry in a way that completely ignored the damage they received.

They are the "Claws" controlled by the "Court of Owls".

The action plan negotiated by the Gotham Shadow Council is only aimed at the same kind of human beings, and there may be some individuals who have been transformed and become more powerful by "supernatural water" - this nonsense name has been recognized - but there is no "fish" in the plan at all. People", that should be the enemy that only appeared when dealing with the kingdom of Atlantis.

This led to the fragmentation of the overall plan.

The original intention of pouring the sea water was to force out the members of the Court of Owls and capture them, but this act resulted in those "murloc claws" taking advantage of the venue, and Atlana had to turn to exert strength to recede the tide, and the members of the Court of Owls Take the opportunity to escape.

However, although the scene is chaotic, it is not a problem for Jin Jing at all. "Knowing and domineering" is enough to make her predict the attacks of these monsters that will not change their moves. Even if some cannot be avoided, "armed domineering" can also be used. Block, and "six-style" is used to fight a group fight is even more like a duck in water.

In her field of vision, batches of "blood bars" appeared, then emptied and disappeared within a few seconds, which looked quite decompressed.

Thomas Curry had only been in training battles, so he was a bit chaotic when facing actual combat for the first time, but after getting familiar with the rhythm and armor performance, he was able to grasp the weakness of the murlocs two or three times. After joining the battle with his freeze gun, there is no suspense at all.

"[We, will eventually return...]"

With the killing of the last group of murlocs, this imperfect attack on the "Owl Court" finally came to an end. After calling their cronies to wash the floor, the planners came to the meeting place of the Owl Court together.

That gigantic cistern, normally used to store excess rainwater in case of a sudden increase in precipitation, would prevent the drainage system from flooding back, but the Court of Owls added a "lid" to it, and built a shape on top of it that is really the same. Court-like Gothic architecture.

"Hmph, judges, lawyers, juries, they're pretty decent," Thomas Wayne walked around the courtroom and knocked on the dock: "I'm sure they have a lot of dreams of bringing us here for trial. "

"It's a pity, it's only them who will be tried here," Falcone said with his hands behind his back: "I've already arranged for people to keep an eye on those suspected ancient families. As long as any family changes after this incident, we will Just come to the door and arrest them.”

"With all due respect," Curry took off his oddly-shaped helmet. "If 'secret control of Gotham' is a sin, all of you are unforgivable."

"What? Of course not," Corbett responded. "They were charged with contaminating Gotham's groundwater and endangering public health."

"Okay," Curry shrugged and looked at Jin Jing who was circling the courtroom: "Miss Bai, have you found the 'pollutant'?"

"Oh, yes, they barely concealed it." Jin Jing walked to the judge's seat and took the gavel and knocked it.

With her movements, the floor in the middle of the courtroom began to sag in a stepped shape, and finally, a light green spring appeared at the bottom.

"That is..." All the people present turned their attention to the past.

Although the user will go crazy or turn into a murloc, and the creation is killed by Neptune and Bai Jingjing, it is still much stronger than ordinary thugs. This is still the case when the court of owls is used incorrectly.

"Well..." Jin Jing stared at the spring water, a little dazed.

[Diluted Dionysian Factor (Excellent)]

['Someone gave this to a lunatic, guess what happened? ’]

"Caroline, Max," Jin Jing raised her hand and called to two roommates who had been fishing in the battle before: "Come and see this."

"What kind of **** is this?" "Waste for so long." The two said together.

"Can I believe you didn't say that on purpose to stop us from studying it?" Falcone stared at Jin Jing.

"Well... Seeing is believing." Jin Jing thought for a while, then walked down the stairs and reached out to Ju Chi Shui.

The others just looked at her without moving.

Jin Jing first took a handful of water, and then used the other hand to take the second one. As a result, under everyone's attention, the water slipped from her steady hand as if it had its own will.

"Based on a certain mystical principle, the dose that everyone can use is rated," Jin Jing tried to explain the effect according to her own understanding: "When the user is seriously injured and dying, it will work and quickly repair the damage, but In the process, there will be physical mutation or mental disorder, and it cannot be recovered. In addition, it must be used once a year, otherwise it will fail. I am sure that it is diluted and contaminated, otherwise it should not have such negative effects."

"That is to say, the power possessed by the 'Sharp Claws' is only brought about by the 'mutation', not the 'Supernatural Water' itself?" Cobot shook his head with a look of disappointment.

"But there's still value in research," Thomas Wayne muses. "Dying ... dying because of disease or aging organs, does it work?"

"It's very likely, after all, the basic effects of those 'legendary springs' are immortality," Curry said jokingly, and then found that everyone was looking at him together: "What, what's wrong ?"

"It seems that the people present are not afraid of turning into a fish, are you the only one?"

"Anyway, your wife won't despise your mutation."

"Sacrifice for science."

"Hey! Wait?"
