The chaos of the situation caught everyone by surprise.
Even Bruce didn't expect that the Court of Owls has cultivated so many "claws" in secret. These killers are loyal, fearless in battle, and have strong recovery ability.
As a notorious thief, Catwoman was included in the assassination list because of her involvement with Batman, so she had to run away.
What a shame.
Bullock and Selena fought and ran, fleeing wildly, and they were about to run from the east to the west of the city, but the two sharp claws behind them were still chasing after them.
Selena drove the car very fast.
There are few pedestrians on the road at night, and a few half-dead stars lie in the thick clouds of Gotham, squinting and dozing off, and the sound of sharp claws stamping on the ground behind them makes people feel uncomfortable.
"What the hell is this?" Brock sat on the back seat, leaning his back against the front seat, and set up a gun against the claws that were chasing after the car like a mad dog, trying to slow down their pace through the impact of the bullets. .
The sharp claws were spattered with blood by the heavy machine/gun, but the body was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even Logan is not so crazy, Brock once again refreshed his shallow vision by Gotham.
Seeing that one of the claws was about to climb in through the car window, Selena slammed on the brakes and then stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. Bullock held the seat tightly and kicked the claws that were thrown in the air away. .
This troubled sports car made a toothache-spinning sound and escaped from Gotham to Metropolis. It is ready to move on, so that the people of Metropolis who are favored by Superman as foolish and sweet can experience Gotham. specialty.
But Talon did not continue to catch up.
They stood silently at the border of Gotham and stopped in their tracks.
Bullock yelled, "Stop!"
Selena stopped the car with a "so what the hell" expression, and turned her head to look back.
"They can't seem to get out of Gotham," Brock began again, "reverse the car and take a look."
Selena was busy arranging her hair that was blown into a hornet's nest by the wind, and exhaled: "Go and go by yourself."
Bullock didn't raise any objections, he got out of the car and walked over step by step, and finally stopped precisely at the edge of the suspension bridge between Metropolis and Gotham.
Claw looked at him fiercely and blankly.
Brock waved at them, but Talon didn't respond.
Brock took out a half-broken cigarette from an unknown corner of his body, and groped around but couldn't find the lighter. He looked at Talon a little worriedly, and asked, "Dude, can I borrow a fire?"
Claw ignored him, took out a small notebook from his pocket, found Selena's name on the assassination list full of names and locations, and wrote two words seriously on the back.
Evicted successfully.
Then the two sharp claws turned and left, rushing to the next target.
Bullock looked at the back of them leaving, thoughtful.
Their stupid and fierce look is actually a bit like the Winter Soldier.
Selena pulled out a windproof metal lighter from the car, lowered her head to light Brock, and said, "Why are you so dazed?"
"I just heard a message from your secret channel," Bullock said, "The cat...is called the Court of Owls, right? They sent so many killers, how many people in Gotham can stop them? "
Selena shook her head: "Not many, ordinary policemen are no match at all, and if they go there, they will die for nothing."
Bullock squatted on the ground and smoked the crumpled cigarette. Hearing this, he looked up at Selena and asked seriously: "What about you? What do you think? Should I hide somewhere else to avoid the limelight or Want to fix this?"
His question stunned Selina.
Because Bullock has always been a character of "I'm comfortable, I don't care about the floods in other places". Live peacefully with him until the end of life.
What is the problem? Bullock used to be like a programmed robot, with only two options: "kill him" and "strategic retreat".
It was a little strange to say the words "solve the problem" from his mouth.
"Is there anything you can do?" Selena was a little curious.
Bullock sat down on the ground in an indecent gesture, stretching his injured leg.
"of course not."
Selena wished she could kick him to death.
"But I know who can help," Bullock said. "You look up here, we're in Metropolis."
Selena covered her face: "If I dare to ask Superman and Zhenglian for help, Batman will break my leg."
Bullock shrugged, refunded the ticket he had booked on his mobile phone, and bought another one-way ticket from the Metropolis to New York.
"Anyway, I'm going to New York tomorrow, why don't you figure it out yourself."
Just when Selena was wondering whether to inform the heroes of Zhenglian to form a group to watch Batman's jokes in Gotham, an interface suddenly popped up on Bullock's phone.
A red skull danced maliciously above it.
Brock entered the password, opened the interface, and there was only one location coordinate, 77th Street in Irvington.
The mission requirement is to be a mindless "recovering the Winter Soldier". The difficulty is marked high, and the level is marked urgent. It flashes on the screen in a playful manner, with black letters on a red background and a hot color scheme, which makes Brock's eyes sore.
He refreshed a bit suspiciously, but nothing came out. He couldn't help but lament that the Red Skull is really a big shit-stirring stick, even trying to get involved in Gotham's mess.
Seeing that Selena was still hesitating, Bullock casually threw the cigarette butt, crushed it with the sole of his boot, and said, "I have something to go back, you can think about it slowly."
Selena: "Huh?"
Before she could react, Bullock returned to the car and drove off in a hurry.
Bullock was not chased by the claws, but the fog in his heart became more and more thick.
The court of owls has long been rumored in Gotham. It is rumored that they are the behind-the-scenes bosses in charge of Gotham. They have trained/taught powerful killers through the secret methods of ancient wizards. Once someone hinders their authority in Gotham, these are inhuman The killer will come like a shadow.
"The court of owls condemns you to death" is also a folk tale that has been passed down for a long time, and its intimidating effect in Gotham is almost equivalent to urban horror legends such as Bunny Man, Slender Ghost, and Bloody Mary.
But to prove the real existence of the Court of Owls, there is always a lack of some substantive evidence.
Brock still remembers finding an owl mask in his home when he helped Bruce find the Wayne murderer "Marlon Match" as a child.
From this it can be seen that if the Court of Owls really existed, it would be a low-key villain who didn't want to show the original form of monsters and ghosts in the eyes of the public, and even killed the Wayne couple under the guise of others.
Why did they send all the killers this time to assassinate more than 100 targets?
Can't get by?
Selena's sports car has excellent performance, even if it is deformed by the claws, it still works with trepidation, without losing the chain. Soon, Bullock came to 77 Irvington Street.
The Red Skull didn't give him a specific address, but at this time, Brock can find the place to go without the specific house number.
Just follow the direction of the corpse.
The death of the corpse made Bullock very familiar. Only a few were headshot by the gun, and most of them had their necks crushed, and their broken spines were tied to their heads. The blood dyed the skin and flesh bright red, and spread on the ground into a miserable pool of grotesque.
Brock squatted down, pulled it, and leaned his head to smell it. As expected, he smelled the smell of ice and snow hidden in the thick blood.
The smell was like blood, which excited Brock.
He walked along the deserted street to the house on the corner, the closer the distance, the more obvious the ping-pong-pong sound inside.
Standing at the door was a man with gold-rimmed glasses. He had a weak temperament, but he was wearing a nondescript combat uniform.
"You, you, you..." He pushed his glasses and looked at Brock, who was not kind. "Long live Hydra?"
Bullock rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking Long live the fart, but on the surface he put on a kind smile even for him. He took out his mobile phone, showed the task interface to the man with glasses, and said : "Long live Hydra, I just received this mission, what's wrong, what happened?"
The man with glasses lowered his head and took a closer look. After confirming that he was indeed his own person, he pointed to the window with a look of fear on his face, and said, "The Winter Soldier is out of control again. The logistics I brought were wiped out. Organizationally As a last resort, I issued a mission to all the field agents near Gotham, and a few of them just went in before you came, and now I don’t know what’s going on inside.”
After saying this, the man with glasses started rambling again: "I said in the Winter Soldier's medical report that he is not fit to perform the task now, so why didn't the higher-ups listen. Alas, isn't this a disregard for human life?"
After finishing speaking, he cautiously leaned over to the window for a glance, then hurriedly backed away, looking at Bullock helplessly, as if he wanted to escape but dared not.
Seeing that his mouth was loose and petty, Brock began to talk: "Gotham has been a bloodbath by the Court of Owls these days, why is the Winter Soldier here?"
As the little leader of the Winter Soldier's logistics team, the man with glasses knew what to say and what not to say, even though his mouth was broken, he just sighed: "I can't say that, you should hurry in and help."
Brock nodded with a smile.
The next moment, the man with glasses suddenly felt a little pain in his back, he let out a low cry, then lowered his head to look——
A sharp blade protruded from the chest.
