Chapter 20 The Court of Owls Appears

Dead silence.

The door opened automatically.

No, it was not the slightly more gentle and gentle method of opening the door lock.

Instead, someone held the door handle and pushed the wooden door open with great force!

The door lock made a tooth-grinding scream, and the metal lock core forcibly broke through the cheap plywood wooden door, stubbornly connecting with the twisted and deformed metal door frame.

A gust of wind blew, bringing the cold air from the underworld outside into the room.

Ba.

Da.

Harley Quinn shuddered. She regretted how she could be attracted by the skeleton and didn't notice that someone was approaching outside the door.

In the countless days and nights in Arkham, she should have trained her hearing to the limit.

At this time, the evening was just coming to an end. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the broken door, illuminating the room in darkness. It was as if because of this little light, the existence of darkness itself had meaning.

Then... it went out.

Harley Quinn slowly picked up her backpack.

The tall figure stood at the door. The light dimmed suddenly, and the evening was about to end at this moment.

Harley Quinn sighed heavily.

"You are such a hard-to-find girl."

She heard Batman say.

Silence.

Harley Quinn looked at the man who came in, and the corners of her mouth began to rise slowly, and she had an urge to laugh out loud.

"Ah!!!" She screamed hysterically: "Oh my God, why is it you again!!!"

She walked to a tree next to her - a miniature dragon blood tree spawned by Poison Ivy, and then banged her head against the trunk.

"Ahhhhhh, damn it, God! Batman, will never, find, Harley-Quinn!"

"I have some questions for you."

She heard Batman say in his familiar deep voice:

"For example, where can I find your good friend Poison Ivy?"

Harley Quinn stopped hitting the tree.

She tilted her head.

"I need your help..."

"Forget it, dear. In a way, I've started a new life."

Harley suddenly became very normal, as if the one who was crazy just now was not her at all.

"Listen, Ivy is hanging out with some bad guys. He and Plant Master are planning to turn the entire earth green. I need to stop them. They are a deadly combination, Harley.

A lot of people will be hurt, and even... Never mind, maybe it's useless for me to say this. You just need to know one other thing, Ivy, is also likely to be hurt or killed."

She heard Batman say.

Harley had to admit that Batman knew the relationship between him and Poison Ivy very well. When he heard that Ivy might also be hurt, she did have some impulses... but it was just an impulse.

"No. I don't want to get involved in your shit anymore." Harley replied: "I've said goodbye to the cape, tights and mask. I just want to be an ordinary person quietly."

"Really? It's a pity that you are not."

Harley Quinn followed Batman's gaze and saw the four skeletons lying on the ground. She grabbed her two braids and screamed hysterically again.

She turned around and grabbed Frank, the man-eating plant that stood in the flowerpot like a real plant.

"Asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole, it's obviously you who killed him-"

"Blaming your murder on the plant will not reduce your sentence, Harley Quinn."

Harley Quinn slapped the plant twice.

"I advise you..."

Harley Quinn jumped around on the man-eating plant.

"Your emotions are venting..."

With a crash, Harley Quinn rushed towards the window. As long as she broke the window, she could escape from this room!

Harley calculated the distance. Even if it was Batman, unless his arm could change...

"!!!"

"Okay, I surrender."

Chen Tao retracted his arm and put Harley on the ground. The huge dinosaur arm retracted in an instant, like a collapsed sponge, and soon turned back to normal human size, without even breaking the clothes.

Such a scene that directly violated the law of conservation of mass was enough to make 90% of the scientists in the world drop their jaws, but for the people of Gotham, no matter what Batman could do, it was commonplace, no matter how Batman won, it was inevitable, and Harley was used to it.

After all, Batman will always win and will continue to win.

...

...

...

This is Bane's hiding place.

People always think that a conspiracy expert like him should set up his lair in some mysterious submarine or a flying military base.

But it is not.

This is just a relatively ordinary hotel in Gotham.

At this time, Bane was sitting on the sofa in the room, filling the sofa with his huge body of 2.15 meters.

"...This time, the city government decided to use the National Guard, which was entirely out of morality, justice and responsibility..."

"Batman? I must say that masked vigilantes who violate the law like this can't be compared with real heroes at all..."

"Let us welcome our real heroes, Mayor Carlo, and the head of the National Guard with warm applause and sincere gratitude..."

The experts on TV and those fat-headed officials were still chattering. After introducing the situation, he quickly began to desperately belittle Batman, and then boasted about the actions of the City Hall.

The muscular monster was thinking.

Frankly speaking, if he hadn't planned to destroy the bat, he would almost sympathize with him.

Batman is running around for this city, but those city halls and Gotham's upper echelons are a bunch of complete idiots.

He couldn't believe that someone would be stupid enough to tell everyone about his military movements on TV.

Batman? No one took the most dangerous character seriously.

At this moment, those guys on TV, well-dressed people, only care about how much traffic they can get by slandering Batman and elevating themselves. They are more like vultures fighting for carrion than those lunatics in Arkham.

They mocked the Dent Act, belittled Jim Gordon, denied Batman's strength, and dragged down everything Batman had done for this city in the past 10 years.

They said that Batman's existence attracted those cross-dressing lunatics. They described today's chaos and madness as the mutual attraction of lunatics. They claimed that only the army could maintain order and only City Hall could bring change.

But they never thought about...

Why was Harvey Dent completely disappointed with the judiciary?

Why did Edward Nygma fall into madness?

Why was Arnold, who was once honest, arrested and imprisoned?

Gotham is rotten. Bane knew this better than many native Gothamites - he discovered this on his first day in the city.

"Batman and his so-called super criminals are all a bunch of lunatics and perverts. This time we have to take this opportunity to put an end to them once and for all..."

Bane frowned, the words on the TV were getting more and more disgusting.

Those who talked and expressed their "insights" on TV, they were greasy and powdered, and they smelled rotten from head to toe, and even Bane found them disgusting.

So he gave up torturing his ears and turned down the volume of the TV.

Boom!

A muffled sound above his head made him frown.

Boom!

He sighed.

"Enough, can you three get it done quickly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the next second, with a bang, the ceiling collapsed. His three men, "Zombie Man", "Caveman" and "Birdman" and an enemy dressed like an owl broke through the wooden ceiling and rolled down.

"Stop it, Bane! City Hall has mobilized tens of thousands of National Guards to deal with you, and the Court of Owls intends to fight you..."

Bane sighed.

"What are you? Forget it——"
