Chapter 57 Buried Deeply Underground
Robin disappeared, and along with Mr. Freeze, Bruce mobilized all the resources of the Wayne Group to search, but still found nothing. All their traces were erased overnight, as if they had never existed in this city.
But traces can be erased, people and memories are still there, Batman is still tracking his whereabouts, Oracle monitors the entire Gotham, and sirens echo throughout Gotham.
But Gotham was quiet during the day, and the gangsters who used to act recklessly behaved very well, as if they knew a storm was coming.
"Beware of the Court of Owls, always monitoring your travels. Peeping at Gotham City from the shadows..."
Forgotten songs are resounding in the streets and alleys, and some people on the Internet have begun to discuss the existence of the Court of Owls, but none of these can interfere with Batman's judgment.
The beam of light hit the clouds, clearly reflecting the bat symbol. Batman fell from the sky and looked at the back next to the bat lantern.
"I didn't expect you to call me in this way."
Qin Su turned around, his eyes swollen from not sleeping all night: "I didn't expect that one day I would use a bat lantern to ask you for help. Ah, this is also a skill that the next Gordon must master."
"If you are looking for comfort from me, I can tell you that Robin's disappearance is none of your business. They are here for Wayne - for Batman, although I still don't think the Court of Owls really exists. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Su threw a list full of names to Batman. He discouraged and said: "Here you go, this is the list of members of the Court of Owls in Gotham. I don't know how many people there are. Like colonists, they are spread throughout the world.”
Batman grabbed the list, and after just a cursory glance, he saw many familiar names. Almost every prominent family in Gotham was on the list, as well as the current mayor and city council members...
"Robin disappeared during the operation with you, and now you are giving me a list that includes all the families excluding Penguin and Black Mask. Qin Su, if you do this, it is difficult for me not to suspect that you are using me. Help Penguin eliminate dissidents.”
After the Waynes died in Crime Alley, Bruce was suspected of being involved in the Court of Owls sung in the ballad. He tried every means to find out the existence of the court in order to satisfy his desire for revenge, but the final result was A dusty room.
Little Bruce was locked in that room for a week without food or water. If Alfred hadn't found him in time, there would be no Batman.
After that, Batman established a principle for himself.
"Don't let emotions interfere with your judgment, Qin Su, self-blame can't change anything."
"I'm not disturbed by my emotions. I'm serious, Batman." Qin Su turned off the bat light and put on a black police hat.
"Watch the people on the list, Batman. I believe you can catch their clues. As for Robin, don't worry, I know where the owl's nest is.
Owls like to steal nests built by others. They will only hide in other people's shadows. Under Gotham, there is a maze. Robin should be there. I will bring him back.
After that, Batman, I hope you can tell me something about this world that is both familiar and unfamiliar to me. ”
After saying that, Qin Su walked forward without looking back. Until he left the roof of the police station, Batman was still standing there.
There have been some changes in the DC world that Qin Su, the time traveler, is not aware of, including Mana Fei and Groudon. Qin Su once thought this was just an accidental episode, but now it seems that this has become a main theme.
First the League of Assassins, Falcone, Three Houses, and then the Court of Owls. These villain organizations have all undergone some changes to some extent. The changes can only come out of nowhere. There is no reason for the Justice League not to notice.
The watchtowers in the sky are not waiting to fall down, and the echo surveillance system set up by Batman in Gotham is not just for show. The heroes must know something, but they choose to remain silent.
Maybe it's because you're too desperate, or maybe it's not worth mentioning? But no matter what the answer is, Qin Su will find it by himself.
……
Gotham's underground facilities are very complete, thanks to Batman's great-great-grandfather, Allen Wayne. He devoted his life to building Gotham, but in the end he died naked in the sewers without seeing the light of day.
For a city builder, this was an extremely humiliating way to die. What was even more humiliating was that he was stabbed fifty times in the back, but his death was ultimately ruled an accident.
"I can find, I know almost everything about the courtroom, except for a few unexpected parts, that laser."
Qin Su held a flashlight and walked in the smelly sewer, his eyes not missing any detail on the wall.
Finally, he found a mottled blood stain on a wall. The blood stain had turned pure yellow-brown, but Qin Su was still sure that this was the place he was looking for.
He hit the wall hard with the handle of the knife, and soon Qin Su made a hole. He stuck his head in, and there was deep darkness below.
Qin Su did not hesitate. After expanding the hole enough for one person to pass through, he jumped down. When his feet touched the ground again, he was already in a maze.
The towering wall blocked Qin Su's line of sight, and the messy traces of fighting on the ground caught his attention, as well as some blood of someone unknown.
"It seems that Robin's freedom is not restricted. At least he can run and jump." Qin Su breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. It's not irreversible yet.
Qin Su opened the system and the personal panel flashed by.
Name: Qin Su
Title: [Humanoid Pokémon]
Points: 4
Abilities: Sword Dance, Iai Slash.
All the points he had gained so far had been used up by Qin Su. He threw all his wealth into the pool and finally got two useful things, one of which was suitable for the current situation.
[Name: The Marauder’s Map with Mysophobia]
【Type: Other】
【Quality: ★★】
[Special Effect: Record]
[Description: A map that has not yet started to be drawn has the characteristics of a finished product.

PS: The map of evil will guide you. 】
Qin Su read in a low voice to the blank map: "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good."
Ink was spread out on the blank paper, and the terrain of the maze was clearly presented before Qin Su's eyes, but he did not see any human position display. Unfortunately, Robin was not near him.
Qin Su didn't know how big the underground maze was. He only had one hour to find Robin, otherwise he would have to start all over again.
In a room hidden above the maze, which overlooks and leads to all parts of the maze, a group of guys wearing white owl masks pointed at Qin Su running underneath.
"What's going on with this guy!"
"How did he find this place!"
"Little cute Robin is about to collapse on the photo wall. The story is reaching its climax. I hate inserting new characters at the end!"
Various voices came and went, and finally came together as one. They gathered around and armored their claws,
"Claw, claw, owl's claw.
Stop sleeping, open your eyes, and obey my words.
Slit his throat and carve out his heart.
Let us see! "(End of Chapter)
