Chapter 198 Operation Owl Catching (Dream Realization)
"Computer, check system integrity."
[Detection in progress, detection completed, system integrity is now 99.7%, and the ejection procedure can be executed. 】
The Batcomputer immediately gave feedback. Brucey took off her hood and looked at the Bat-submarine above her head. She was not in the Batcave, but was busy arranging devices to ambush the Sea Queen near Gotham Port.
The technology of the Atlanteans is much more advanced than that of humans in some areas, and they are extremely good at naval warfare. Humans are good at land warfare. Normal strategic thinking should be to maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and find ways to lure the Sea Queen to the ground and then defeat her.
But Brucey never follows the rules. She is the most outstanding strategist on earth, so she made a counter-intuitive plan, which is to kill the Sea Queen in the sea.
To this end, Brucey moved out the ejection support device she designed in the early years. The main body is a spherical cabin. After Brucey enters it, it will eject. Its speed exceeds the bat wing and can reach any corner of Gotham within three minutes. .
However, this device has many flaws, including ejection angles, parabolas, etc. It has extremely high requirements for the target position, and it will inevitably damage Brucey's body after ejection. Its safety is questionable, so it was sealed by Brucey until this time. See the light of day again.
Brucey expanded the ejection device, and the ejection cabin was no longer a spherical cabin, but a shuttle-shaped Bat-submarine. Brucey planned to fall from the sky in a submarine on the day of the peace negotiations, catching the Sea Queen off guard.
"Computer, calculate the parabola, buy all the obstacles that may block the route, and start the removal process."
[Executing command, purchased...]
Subsequent information was subjectively blocked by Bruce. To her, money has always been a string of numbers. If money could save the world, she would be a pauper now. Unfortunately, being Batwoman is not like being Bruce Wayne. So simple.
Brucey was making the final fine-tuning. Although the Batcomputer calculated that the completeness had reached 99.7%, which was almost perfect, Brucey was still demanding the last 0.03% because she could not fail.
She is the only guardian of this world.
Brucey looked up at the sky shrouded in dark clouds. There were no stars visible in Gotham at night, but Brucey wanted to take a look at the star she sent up.
At this moment, a beam of light hit the sky, attracting Brucey's attention. The bat logo with a sword on its wings was reflected on the clouds, and the entire Gotham could be seen.
"Gordon in trouble?"
Commissioner Gordon is very capable. In fact, he solves most of Gotham's cases single-handedly. However, there are many talents in Gotham, so he needs Batwoman's help.
Now, Brucey has hunted all super-powered criminals to extinction. Gordon has not turned on the bat light in the past year. To turn on the light tonight to call for help, Brucey suspects that it is related to the visitors from other world a few days ago.
So Brucey summoned the Batmobile and headed to the Gotham Police Station at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
Gordon, who has pale sideburns, is holding the bat lantern with a slightly solemn expression. She is surrounded by a large circle of male police officers. They are young people who have joined the job in the past year and are all fans of Batwoman. They heard that Chief Gordon was going to summon Batman, a group of grown men insisted on watching at the scene.
"Director, is Batwoman really coming?"
Five minutes have passed and there is still no sign of Batwoman. Some people can't help but question that they have never seen Commissioner Gordon and Batwoman fighting side by side.
Gordon coughed twice. Her physical condition was not good: "Be patient, young man."
There was an imperceptible sound of landing, and as he spoke, the bat had arrived.
"It's really Batwoman!"
The male police officers were all so excited that they hugged each other, not daring to get close to Bruce, and they didn't dare to take out their mobile phones to take pictures, because they had all heard about the legend of Batwoman and knew that this lonely hero of Gotham was not going anywhere. Like to show off.
Bruce lowered her voice and said in a hoarse voice: "I thought you wouldn't come to me again, Gordon."
"Ahem, if I can, I want to send you to prison."
The police officers looked at each other. The relationship between the director and Batwoman seemed to be a little worse than expected. The atmosphere at the scene was solemn, so they did not dare to make a sound.
Brucey doesn't feel like she's at fault: "I'm making the world a better place."
"Then give Barbara back to me!" Gordon suddenly widened his eyes and became emotional.
But Brucey's attitude never changed: "I told you, the time has not come yet, now tell me why you turned on the bat light."
Gordon panted violently. Because of the longing, her body was getting worse day by day. Stars appeared in her eyes even when she yelled a little louder. She was old, but her heart was still righteous. Putting aside her personal emotions, she began to ask Bu Lucy tells the case.
"Just this morning, we received a report from a citizen that a section of Gotham's sewers had been exploded. When we rushed to the scene, we saw only ruins. Before we could arrange for people to go down to investigate, the police station received another call from the municipal government. An emergency call came from the department, saying that the mayor had been kidnapped and his whereabouts are still unknown.”
Bruce's face darkened when she heard this. Making trouble in her city was a provocation to her. Ever since she personally organized Harley Quinn's funeral, few people dared to do so.
However, Gordon was not done yet: "I take this major case very seriously, but what I didn't expect is that this is just the beginning.
Soon the police station's phone rang one after another, with news that officials and wealthy people had been kidnapped, and the time intervals were very short. I suspected that this was a gang crime. ”
Gordon finished speaking and found that Bruce lowered her head and opened the microcomputer on the armband. She had invaded the Gotham Police Department's internal system and imported all case information into the Bat database.
After quickly browsing the case, Brucey looked solemn. As a member of the capitalists, Brucey knew very well how much these rich people valued their wealth and lives, especially since this was Gotham, and their requirements for safety would only be higher, each and every one of them. The home has a top of the line security system.
Although these "security systems" generally cannot guarantee safety, they can at least delay some time. This should not be the case now. With so many cases of the same type occurring in a very short period of time, Brucy can only speculate that they are committed by the same gang. The number of members of this criminal gang is at least one hundred.
But the League of Assassins has been taken over by Bruce. Where can we find such a large organization in the world today?
Arkham!
Brucey immediately contacted the guards at Arkham, but she guessed wrong. The guards said that Arkham was as peaceful as ever. Except for Qin Su and the Riddler who ran away, Arkham was now peaceful.
"It's not a madman from Arkham, what is this..."
Originally, Brucey speculated that Qin Su was responsible, but now she is not sure. These cases have cast a layer of fog on Gotham, and Brucey must figure out the direction before she can possibly solve the problem.
Brucey decided to go to the scene to investigate by herself, and while Gordon was not paying attention, she quietly left the police station.
"That's it again."
Gordon has become accustomed to this. Looking at the bat logo on the clouds, she misses her daughter even more.
"Pa——"
The lamppost suddenly disappeared and someone turned off the bat light.
"It consumes a lot of electricity to keep it on. Please pay attention to environmental protection, Director."
A police officer raised the brim of his hat and smiled warmly.
Gordon remembered everyone who had served in the Gotham Police Department, even the police officers who had died. They all lived in her memory. This was Gordon's way of commemorating them, and now she found that she could not I recognize the face in front of me.
"Who are you!"
Gordon shouted sharply and leaned forward slightly to cover up his action of drawing the gun.
However, the male police officer seemed to have anticipated all her movements and held down her hand on the holster in advance.
"Director, don't overreact, I'm here to help you."
The man's voice was extremely gentle.
"I'm here to take you to meet your son."
After hearing these words, Gordon smelled a long-lost fragrance, and her face changed drastically: "Poison Ivy Man's pollen, hold your breath..."
Gordon's warning saved the other officers, but she herself fell into a coma.
Bang bang bang!
A series of gunshots broke the tranquility of the night, and Qin Su jumped between buildings carrying the unconscious Gordon.
Not long after, Bruce returned to the Gotham Police Station with a gloomy look on her face. She didn't even realize that Qin Su was here!
After Cat Man's death, she lost interest in other men. She would only have fun when she was Bruce Wayne. Unexpectedly, Qin Su was hiding among a group of male police officers who committed nymphomaniacs.
"Computer, display the list of all the kidnapped people, and call up the city-wide surveillance. I want to know Qin Su's location!"
……
"Well..."
Gordon's body felt a little heavy. She tried her best to open her eyes and found that she was not tied up with ropes, nor had a bomb tied to her body. The person did not perform any detention methods on her, and her gun was still in the gun. It's in good condition.
Did he conclude that it was impossible for him to escape? Gordon could only guess this. Such loose imprisonment made her suspicious. When she saw where she was, Gordon was stunned.
Because she was at home, in her own bed.
"Am I dreaming?" Gordon felt unreal.
At this time, Gordon heard someone moving outside the room. The old policeman immediately drew his gun and hid at the door. Even in her own home, she remained vigilant.
Gordon took a deep breath, and the moment the door opened, he put the muzzle of the gun against the person's head.
"Don't move...Barbara?"
What appeared in front of Gordon was her son Barbara, whom she had longed for day and night. The gun slipped from her hand, and Gordon hugged Barbara forcefully into his arms.
"It's really you, Barbara, I...I miss you so much."
The masculine eyebrows of Barbara are very similar to Gordon in the main universe. She has the same tough guy face, and she is also bursting with tears at this moment.
"Mom, I miss you so much."
Gordon raised her head and wiped the tears from her eyes. She saw Qin Su standing behind her son.
Qin Su smiled slightly: "I didn't lie when I said I would bring you to see Barbara."
Familiar home-cooked dishes were brought to the table by Barbara, and the three of them sat together and enjoyed dinner like a real family.
Gordon listened to Barbara finish telling what Batwoman had done to the heroes, shook his head and sighed: "Actually, I noticed some signs, but Batwoman did it very cleanly, and there were people in the government helping her, and I was alone. Can’t compete with her.”
She turned to look at Qin Su. Gordon had already concluded that Qin Su was not a lunatic like Harley Quinn, but there was one thing she still didn't understand.
"You planned a series of kidnappings. What's the point of doing this?"
"Because there are bad people among them, but I don't have time to analyze them one by one, so I'll just cast a wide net."
Qin Su lied. He kidnapped people based on a list. Qin Su knew exactly which people were from the Court of Owls and which ones were truly innocent.
When he brought down all the people from the Court of Owls in the upper echelons of Gotham, which caused him to be hated until now, Qin Su cannot forget these things.
"As for kidnapping you, it is for personal reasons. I don't want you to be involved in the next incident."
Gordon was kind to Qin Su, not to mention that the city would soon lose its protector. Qin Su could not let another one-on-one get into trouble, otherwise Gotham would really be hopeless.
"I know you want to save this city, and so do I. Trust me, there will be a time when you play, but not now."
Qin Su left after enjoying dinner at Gordon's house. She was not worried about being discovered by Brucie, because it was impossible for Brucie to find him alone.
There is no doubt that Brucey left a lot of monitors at Gordon's house, but Qin Su's visit to the Bat Cave was not in vain. In addition to taking away the Dionysus factor, he also tampered with some of the programs of the Batcomputer, making the monitoring His presence will be deliberately deleted. From Bruceie's perspective, everything in the Gordon family is business as usual, with no one around.
Without the Bat Family, all Bruceie can rely on is the Bat Computer. If she is given enough time, she will definitely be able to find the anomaly, but now is the time to race against time.
All night, Brucey did not take off her mask. She ran around the city, but was always one step slower. This feeling made her feel like a light on her back. Brucey had a premonition that there was some kind of huge conspiracy surrounding her. But she couldn't even catch the first signs.
That night, Qin Su didn't sleep a wink. He used the Omnitrix to transform into a Martian and used telepathy to browse the memories of all the members of the Court of Owls. Finally, he found the location of Batjin.
The hot flames roasted the furnace, and the blood-red metal flowed quietly into the container.
The Court of Owls did not have the finished bat gold. They hid the semi-finished product in their nest in Wayne Manor. Owls have always been good at occupying magpie's nests, just like groundhogs, and their nests are everywhere in Gotham.
And Qin Su is doing the final processing of these semi-finished products.
"After being tempered by the cosmic fire under Gotham, Bat Gold will change into a blood-red liquid. The Bat Gold at this time is not yet a finished product."
There is of course a reason why Bat Gold is called Bat Gold. To complete the final process, one more material is needed - Batwoman's blood.
Green Arrow, who was carrying a bow and arrows, turned over and came to Qin Su, handing him a tube of spring water containing amber gold. Together with the promethium he bought, he basically collected five metals.
Qin Su looked at the number on the Omnitrix. It was ten forty-eight, just over an hour left before the peace talks started.
Everything is ready except the bat. (End of chapter)
