Chapter 612: Morbid Crisis (I)

In any case, after two bad lucks, the Court of Owls and the Dark Owl Priests were completely annihilated. If we have to say where they lost, we can only say that they lost to their greed and arrogance.

Originally, they could completely seal up the owl statue in Gotham that stored energy, that is, to prevent the energy inside from responding to the call of nursery rhymes, and completely abolish the method of using nursery rhymes to influence children.

But perhaps. They also have a kind of "I'm here" and "I've already created it" idea. Since they have spent so much effort and created so many rules, they will leave it here when they move. If they can find a loophole and continue to influence Gotham, that would be the best. If not, they won't lose anything.

The Dark Owl Priests would never have thought that someone in Gotham would unite to steal electricity, and these people who united had a plan, technology, magic, and force. In just over a month, they stole all the energy they had accumulated for decades.

The same is true for the failure of Metropolis. When they find that Gotham's energy is gone, they will be extremely panicked, thinking that the energy of Metropolis is their life-saving straw and their only capital, so they will be at a loss and panic.

Without the idea of ​​decisiveness, they will be transferred from left to right and then from right to left like fish. Schiller took advantage of this characteristic of them. If the energy is in Gotham and they are in Metropolis, they will steal all the energy of Gotham, transfer people to Gotham, and overturn Metropolis. If the situation is reversed, the same is true.

This can ensure that they will always be in a state of shock and panic when they land, and it will be difficult to organize a resistance offensive for a while.

Bullying this group of magicians is easier than dealing with the Court of Owls, because they always have a kind of arrogance, treating magic as a tool that others cannot crack, and think that putting something in a magic shield is 100% safe.

I can only say that if the devils in hell are all like them, Constantine will laugh even in his dreams.

In any case, this group of owl monsters is completely finished.

Schiller originally wanted to keep them in captivity, let them continue to ask Barbatos for energy, and then slowly and steadily, but Constantine told him that the energy he asked for could not be used directly, and must be purified by human flesh or soul. There is no substitute, and the efficiency is probably very low. The energy Schiller stole is the result of their accumulation over decades.

Knowing this truth, Schiller knew that if he kept them in captivity, the energy he obtained might not be enough to cover the cost of keeping them in captivity, so he gave up this plan and let Constantine knock them all to death with a staff.

After dealing with the things here, several people returned to Gotham, and Lex also returned to Gotham at the same time. He was cured by Hal's healing spell before he had even finished half of his three-month sick leave, and went to the laboratory of Gotham University to study the dark energy with Bruce.

Lex wanted to stay in Metropolis to study, but Clark refused to allow it. He thought that the farther away this dangerous energy was from ordinary people, the better. He even proposed to send the huge dark owl statue to the sun to be destroyed. If Schiller could not hit him with an umbrella in reality, he would definitely be in trouble now.

The two dark owl statues that had been drained of energy were sent to the newly built laboratory building of Gotham University. At present, only a shell was built in this laboratory building, but it was enough to store things. Bruce and Lex studied these energies and the statue in this building.

However, it is difficult for such two smart people to be together without conflicts. Bruce and Lex's experimental ideas cannot be said to seek common ground while reserving differences, but can only be said to be very different, and even if there are some similarities, they must compare their strengths.

If the young Batman and the young Luthor meet, if the young Superman is present, then Superman will definitely be unlucky. If Superman is not present, the two of them cannot convince each other in theory, so they can only try to convince each other physically, which is the so-called genius action without words.

At the same time, Schiller was doing something that he had been delaying for a long time, but it was very important, that is, taking a vacation.

Last time, when he was preparing to take a vacation, Green Lantern Hal fell on the lamppost in the center of the Gotham roundabout, and the huge traffic accident caused his old car to be completely scrapped.

He had to buy a new car, and it took a while to wait for the vehicle to go through the formalities. Now, the new car has arrived, the luggage has been packed, and the second night after returning to Gotham, he drove towards Blüdhaven.

This is the first time he has taken a long vacation since he came to this world, and Blüdhaven has pleasant scenery and is not as cold as Gotham now. It can be said to be a good place for tourism and leisure.

The brand new Ford car sped on the road out of Gotham. At the end of the endless plain, the dusk light was blown by the wind, and the ripples in the air were like the waves on the bottom of the sea. The car shuttled on the road with tall trees on both sides, like a fish swimming among seaweed.

The highway radio always plays some music with a slightly jazzy flavor. Schiller holds the steering wheel with one hand and puts one hand outside the car window, feeling the wind from the East Coast blowing his hair, speeding on the endless empty road, imagining his upcoming vacation life.

Suddenly, a slightly sharp ringtone sounded. Schiller looked at the seat next to him while driving.

In his bag, there is a communicator given to him by Batman. It looks between a walkie-talkie and a mobile phone, but it does not have as many functions as a mobile phone. At this time, it is making a sound like a telephone ring.

Schiller changed his hand to hold the steering wheel, stretched out his hand and pressed the communicator. Unexpectedly, the voice that came out was not Bruce's, but Victor's. After Schiller answered the phone, he said:

"Hello? ... Yes, I have left Gotham. What did you say? Oh, really? What does that have to do with me?" Schiller's voice was very cold. He said: "...Lex and Bruce had a fight in the laboratory, and both of them were admitted to the hospital... Wait a minute, how did Bruce end up in the hospital? Could he be beaten by Lex?"

"What? Clark is here too. Was he called by Lex? Did he come with Batcat? And then he ran into them fighting, and Hal, why did he mess with them?"

Victor sighed and explained to him: "Bruce and Lex had a fight over the direction of the experiment. Lex started it first, and when Bruce fought back, he accidentally injured him."

"Batcat wanted to go back to Gotham to discuss things with Bruce, and Clark was responsible for sending him here. As a result, he came When he was in the lab, he ran into them fighting. Clark thought Bruce was bullying Lex, so he went to stop him, but accidentally hit the lab table and injured Bruce. "

"Hal also wanted to find Bruce, but he ran into Clark who wanted to send Bruce to the hospital. He thought it was Clark who bullied Bruce, but now he and Clark have fought to Ganymede..."

Schiller opened his mouth and said, "Are you sure there is no one here to add fuel to the fire?"

"I don't know about that. When I arrived at the scene, only Pikachu was left in the lab."

"Then you should know who added fuel to the fire." Schiller snorted coldly, and then he heard Victor say, "It's because I know who added fuel to the fire that I called his owner. Otherwise, when they all recover, your pet may..."

"Let Bruce pick a better pot and don't put broccoli in it." Schiller hung up the phone after he finished speaking. He didn't want to care about the mess in Gotham City at all.

After so much effort, the things that could cause him trouble in this chaotic city have gone from grand to trivial.

Especially after Lex came, the daily life basically revolved around Lex, Cobblepot and Bruce. Two of them fought, one ran into them, and then the three of them fought together. In the end, except for Bruce, almost everyone had to lie in the hospital.

Schiller didn't want to solve the problem of fighting between students at all. Although these three people together couldn't make up a pair of parents and didn't need to appease the parents, Schiller would rather go to the Court of Owls than to mediate the conflicts between them.

During the time when he answered the phone, the car drove a certain distance away from Gotham. The surrounding scenery began to become more and more empty, the wind became stronger, the sun gradually fell below the horizon, and night fell.

Schiller reached out and turned the button to turn up the volume of the radio in the car to cover up the whistling wind, but in the sound of the music, he keenly caught a hint of unusual sound, a bit like the sound of friction between metals, and a bit like some kind of bird call.

"Zi--" The harsh sound of the tires rubbing against the ground when braking sounded, and when the sharp blade pierced into the cab, the person inside had disappeared.

On the right rear side of the car, Schiller's figure appeared again. He opened his umbrella, and the strange pattern spun, which stunned the attacker for a moment. When Schiller closed his umbrella, he saw the appearance of the attacker who broke his car window.

The killer was wearing a black tights, and the only bright color on his body was the two yellow feathers above his eyes. Schiller was very familiar with this dress. He had seen it in the battle of the living hell. Such killers worked for the Owl Court and were called "claws".

The cold knife light attacked again, and the claw grabbed the short knife in his hand and rushed towards Schiller. At the same time, he threw out the short dagger equipped on his chest, blocking Schiller's escape route, and Schiller's figure flashed again and came to the front of the car.

He observed that this claw was different from the one he had seen before. This one was better equipped, more robust, and had a colder look. Obviously, they were instructed by different people. Perhaps it was the mysterious group of owls hidden behind the Dark Owl Priest who also targeted Schiller.

This killer was much more professional than the previous claw. The place where Schiller was now was in the middle of nowhere, all wasteland, and it was really a good place to kill and rob.

Thinking of this. Schiller flashed directly behind the claw, stretched out his umbrella knife, and with a flash of the knife, the claw rolled on the spot to avoid it.

With another flash, Schiller came behind Claw again, and Claw turned around, stretched out the short knife in his hand, blocked the tip of Schiller's umbrella knife, stepped back two steps, and threw a few daggers at Schiller, but Schiller avoided them all with the help of the vehicle cover.

At this time, Claw finally realized that it was unrealistic to kill such an enemy who could flash at any time when there were obstacles around, so when he threw the dagger again, his target was no longer Schiller, but the fuel tank of the vehicle.

"Sizzle" sparks came, Schiller quickly retreated, and with a "bang", the car in front of him exploded into a ball of fire.

After the fragments fell to the ground, the flames slowly extinguished, and all of Schiller's luggage and the new car that had just been bought a few days ago and driven only once were left with only charred wreckage.
