Chapter 351: Gotham City, A City With Simple Folk Customs, Remains The Same As Arkham
Dane recalled Zatanna to Devil Island to understand the devil's magic together.
Because he suddenly thought that with the ability of the magic box, he should be able to teleport him to hell, but there was only one coordinate missing.
The hell on this side should be the same as the other side, a world attached to the earth's dimension, but if it is not in the same universe, the exact frame of reference cannot be found.
His hell key cannot leave the positive material universe, so there is no way to try to see if he can use the key of another world to open the "door" here.
But the spell Circe found should have information about the location of hell.
In the magical world, a spell is equivalent to a activation password and can be used as a dial. Spelling a spell is equivalent to sending a signal to a specific target.
Similar to electromagnetic wave signals, once the signal is received by the target on the opposite side and the other side responds, the approximate location of the opposite side can be known based on triangulation. However, at least three communications are required for this calculated target to be accurate.
The magic ritual that Circe found was essentially such a behavior. The purpose of the secret ritual was to allow hell to accurately locate the location of the earth.
The "trap" of this magic is here. It is common sense that the magic of hell has traps. The key is whether they can be found.
The spell that Circe found only allows the hell side to unilaterally determine the location of the earth, but does not give the earth side the same conditions. In other words, the location information is one-way transparent.
Only transparent to hell.
If you look at it this way, the hell in this world is very defensive against the earth, and is almost opposite to the positive matter universe.
Generally speaking, humans should be the ones on guard, and hell always has two doors, and demons welcome humans to their world as "guests."
Even with the joint efforts of three magicians who are proficient in magic, the deconstruction of this magic is still progressing slowly. No matter what they do, sacrifices are always needed.
This is just like tolls. Without sacrifice, it is equivalent to toll evasion, and the power of hell will automatically fight back.
If it's good to just squeeze the fare evader out of the world, I'm afraid it will crush you directly and even your soul will be wiped out.
So Zatanna couldn't help but said: "Why don't we just follow the rules? I think it's not hard to find a sinful soul in this world. They are destined to go to hell.
Even Zatanna doesn't think there's anything wrong with sacrificing a sinful life, as long as you don't torture the other person and just give him a good time.
But Circe retorted: "But the secret requires murder, which is staining your soul!"
Dane reminded her: "My goal is to go to hell, so it doesn't matter whether my soul is stained or not. If I can freely enter and exit the two worlds, I am willing to do so.
"You're kidding, right?" Circe looked at him in disbelief, and Dane felt like there were tears in her eyes.
He could only say: "Yes, this is a joke..."
Circe patted her chest as if she was relieved: "It scared me to death. I thought you were serious..."
Zatanna blinked at the side, she felt that Dane was cheating on the little girl again, even though the little girl was thousands of years old.
But Zatanna didn't expect that in such a world where black and white were reversed, such a little white flower could be born. It was really strange.
The three of them can only continue to study this magic.
Fortunately, it is not completely without benefits. During the process of joint research, both Dane and Zatanna have a deeper understanding of the magic of this world.
Especially for Zatanna, her family's magic is inherently better at counter-curses and likes to recite spells backwards.
And a lot of magic in this world is also upside down, which helps her improve her magic practice.
For Dane, the magic of this world only increases his knowledge system, increases his knowledge, and enriches his means of dealing with enemies.
In a real fight, it's still not as effective as his fist.
But for Circe, the magical knowledge from another world was a complete surprise.
During the thousand years of being imprisoned, she almost tore through Amazon's collection of books, and even the parchment was almost stripped out of pulp by her.
She couldn't help but be overjoyed when faced with the new knowledge. If it hadn't been for the fact that she hadn't seen the outside world for so long, Circe felt that she could have stayed alone for another thousand years and devoted herself to studying the magic of these new worlds.
After Zatanna took the magic box back to Devil Island, the Justice League's communication and mobility became much weaker.
Mainly because members of the alliance are running around the world, there is always a certain delay in electromagnetic wave communication.
But fortunately, most of the syndicate members have been successfully captured. Even if the members of the Zhenglian are alone, they generally will not encounter siege.
Due to the selfish behavior of the federal government, Zhenglian's search for criminals has encountered a lot of troubles. The biggest problem is that those people are too good at hiding. Superman types like Vixen and Green Lantern who have the ability to track are okay.
The Flash and Plastic Man are often confused and forced to play hide-and-seek with the fugitives. Even Captain Cold of the rogue gang can't stand it anymore.
"You are like the Boy Scouts. At times like this, it is up to me and the brothers from the Rogue Gang to take action personally!"
Although Captain Cold's words are unpleasant, his actions are reliable.
As expected, snakes follow their own paths, and rats follow their own paths. With the help of the Rogue Gang, The Flash and Plastic Man's search for criminals went much more smoothly.
It's just that Barry is a little confused. Should he arrest the Rogue Gang?
Although the Rogue Gang has always been mainly fighting against the criminal gangs headed by Johnny Quick, they themselves were not originally legal.
If nothing else, judging from the weapons inventory of the gangsters, once the local evil forces in Central City are eliminated, they will become the city's biggest unstable factor.
At the moment he was extremely envious of Batman's heart of stone.
By the way, Batman had a great time cooperating with the Jokerz when he was in Gotham, but now he has turned around and started to fight against the Jokerz. He always falls out with him, which is so heartless!
As Night Owl said, once the Court of Owls falls, the families behind Gotham will need new knives to help them "manage" the city.
Jokerz became the new knife just as he expected.
Sure enough, an organization cannot survive without a clear mind.
While Night Owl was still around, the Jokerz were still able to unite and face the outside world.
But after the collapse of Night Owl, the internal members of Jokerz began to have various little ideas.
The Penguin was originally a member of the Cobot family, but was abandoned because of his deformed appearance.
Now, as one of the leaders of the Jokerz, he has received an invitation from within the family, and they invite him to return to the big family.
Because old Copperpot is almost dying of old age, and among the younger generation, no one is more outstanding than Penguin.
Therefore, when there is no successor, they no longer care about the Penguin's deformity. For the rich, psychological deformity is far more difficult to cure than physical deformity.
At least Penguin's mind and spirit are normal.
In this case, Penguin naturally had different ideas from others. He took his old iron Two-Face, Riddler, Black Mask and others to separate from Jokerz and form his own faction.
And there were conflicts with other members of the organization headed by Bane.
Bane, Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, Balloon Man and others inherited the will of the Jokerz leader, and they knew that there were other families secretly controlling everything behind the scenes in Gotham City.
Therefore, they oppose all authority and any form of government management, because those are also the forces of the family behind the scenes.
They are anarchists!
The Rigoletto's purpose from the beginning was to overthrow all the existing order in Gotham City. He believed that no government can have absolute freedom, and he was willing to sacrifice for this and become a "martyr."
And he did.
Now Penguin actually wants to be one of those in control. Although he claims that he is doing it to build the city better, Bane doesn't believe it at all. He firmly believes that this is just the rhetoric of politicians. Penguin clearly wants to become a new exploiter. By!
This is a betrayal of the Jokerz forces!
In addition to these two tit-for-tat teams, there is also a neutral camp, the third force headed by Catwoman. They are the weakest. They only want to protect the integrity of Jokerz and do not side with any particular faction.
When conflicts broke out between Penguin and Bane, the neutral party was always responsible for mediating. However, as the conflicts between the two parties deepened, the role of mediation became smaller and smaller.
Jokerz has since split, and the evil backstage manipulators have done nothing but disintegrate them.
The citizens of Gotham discovered that even though the Night Owl had disappeared, Gotham City's poor living environment had not improved.
Prices are still extremely high, life is still difficult, and the crime rate is still high. Things like selling powder, stealing money, stealing, and murdering still happen from time to time on the streets.
Gotham is still the same Gotham. She silently laughed at all the ants living on this land.
The rich play music every night, while the laborers have no place to stand, and even find it difficult to eat.
"This city is so fucking disgusting to me!" Red Hood yelled.
His scope was aimed at a "cute" who was copying a knife and preparing to open the eyes of the workers who worked overtime until late at night.
When encountering such a thing, Red Hood can only help this idiot and let him open his eyes first!
"Bang", the red hood loved this sound so much.
And a ball of blood exploded in the distance, and a sin disappeared. If the Red Hood knew the plot, he would give himself a "merit +1" notification sound.
But he has his own catchphrase: "Fuck. Batman!"
"I don't recommend you do that."
Red Hood reacted very quickly, turned around quickly, loaded the bullet, and almost fired, but luckily he released his finger at the last moment.
He sneered: "Don't just show up behind me, Dick."
"Don't call me that!"
Dick's face darkened. Although his name was indeed Dick Grayson, he didn't like others calling him that.
Because the word "Dick" means "second child" in English, in the Chinese context it is like someone calling him "Diao".
Red Hood sneered: "Okay Dick, no problem Dick.
After that, he turned his head and continued to put his sight on the scope, looking for the next lucky spectator.
"You've killed a lot of people recently." Dick walked up to Red Hood and said in a casual tone.
*~What? Are you now a nun?" Red Hood mocked.
You must know that when Dick was still a claw, his hands were stained with the blood of many innocent people. According to the Red Hood's standards of conduct, he was also one of the targets that should be killed.
But facing this face that was exactly the same as Nightwing, Red Hood really couldn't do anything, especially when the other person was not heinous.
This is like Captain America facing Bucky. He knows that Bucky is actually guilty, but still subconsciously makes excuses for him out of selfish motives.
Red Hood could only comfort himself with the excuse that "he had been deceived by Night Owl before", but this did not mean that Jason would treat this guy well.
"What on earth are you here for? Leave here as soon as possible if you have nothing to do.
You're disturbing my work!"
Red Hood was quite secretive when he was lying here, but with Dick standing so boldly, didn't this expose his target?
"Let me guess, who are you waiting for? Is it the Penguin?"
Red Hood moved his eyes away from the scope and stared directly at Dick: "Why do you know?"
Dick looked down at him: "Do you still remember my current identity?"
Red Hood raised his eyebrows, yes, Dick is now pretending to be Thomas Wayne Jr., and as one of the masterminds behind this city, he can definitely get some information that others cannot.
"So, that bastard won't show up tonight, right?"
"Not only that, in fact, they also sent many people to take advantage of this opportunity to catch you.
Dick took out his hands behind his back and threw several bloody masks on the ground.
Red Hood recognized it as the hood worn by the Penguin's forces.
"They have changed their name now, not to the Jokerz, but to the Penguin Gang... I'm a little curious, how could those other pretentious guys allow him to use such a tasteless name?
minister?"
Dick smiled. Although he was no longer a claw for the time being, his skills were still there, so it wouldn't be a problem to deal with a few minions.
"The Penguin is still the Penguin I know." Red Hood sneered. These guys who had studied in Arkham were still capable of causing trouble as before.
Then he asked: "What is his purpose (good)?"
"They want to make a deal with Batman to get him out of the city."
Even the forces behind Gotham did not dare to provoke the Justice League, which could overturn the Syndicate, so their only request was to let Batman leave Gotham.
If they can't afford to offend him, they will send this great god away. This is their plan.
But Red Hood only thinks that they have lost their minds. Batman doesn't care about the Syndicate at all. He has never thought of leaving this city since he came to it.
Red Hood had a vague feeling that Batman was using Gotham as a testing ground to test whether his transformation of the city could achieve the results he expected.
So that he can replicate this achievement in his own city.
Red Hood suddenly asked Dick: "Do you know where that guy is hiding now?"
"What? You still want to kill him?"
"why not?"
Dick reminded: "I'm afraid this won't be easy. The Penguin has many accomplices, and you alone are no match for them.
The Red Hood smiled: "That's because you don't know me yet, Dick. I'm an experienced hunter of these trash!"
In his world, the villains of Gotham were massacred by the Red Hood, and he wouldn't mind replicating them again in this world.
Dick thought for a while, but still felt a little worried, and said, "I'll go with you."
Red Hood stared at him for a while before saying, "Whatever you want!"
After saying that, the red hood put away his sniper rifle and jumped down from the roof of the building.
Dick took off his suit, and underneath was the Talon uniform with a changed paint, indicating that he was a new Talon.
He put the hood back on, pulled the claw hook and jumped off the tall building.
Since the Jokerz defeated the Court of Owls, they no longer live in the sewers, and most of their members have moved above ground.
The Penguin's choice of residence may be unexpected, but it is the Havok Theater Chamber Music Center.
He also has good taste!
