The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 116 Gotham in Progress
Gotham City's sewers have a long history, and no matter which city renovation is carried out, it has basically not been affected here. This is the darkest underground kingdom in Gotham.

Basically, no Gotham citizen will wander around here at leisure. If there are still some strange evil scientists and good neighbors in Marvel New York’s underground sewer, then the Gotham sewer during this period can be said to be dead silent. Not even the homeless and beggars will come down, because they have heard the legend that all those who appear in the sewers will disappear for no reason.

But Catwoman is so daring, she can get into any corner. In order to avoid Bruce's sight, she got into the sewer with three or two strokes.

Catwoman is indeed gifted in this regard. She didn't go far before she found traces of someone moving near the eastern reservoir.

Originally, she was just curious, so she kept looking for these traces, but soon, the next discovery exceeded her expectations. Catwoman found a huge conference room in the sewer.

Catwoman kills again, she knows it's a big deal, and she hurries to call Bruce.

Falcone, Bruce and Schiller, who got the news, were present together. The three stood in the huge conference room. Bruce looked up at the dome covered with ribbons. Something built..."

Indeed, the ceiling here is only a dozen meters high, and the entire conference room uses a huge stone support structure. Not to mention the ingeniousness of this architectural design, it is not possible for one or two people to complete such a large amount of work. of.

Falcone stood at the front of the huge conference table, he seemed a little silent, the old godfather's eyes slid down the conference table to the end, looking at Schiller, who was meditating there, he asked: "You look like Not surprised."

"So do you," Schiller said.

The three were silent, and finally Bruce broke the deadlock. He said, "It seems that we have all guessed that there is a mysterious force that is secretly manipulating Gotham, and this is the evidence."

"We all paid a heavy price for this," said Falcone, who said, "I know your doubts about your parents' deaths have not stopped, and so have I."

The old godfather closed his eyes, he seemed to be lost in thought again, and he said: "My eldest son died in an equally bizarre shooting, that same night many years ago, but I chose to remain silent until today. "

"You think these people are murderers?" Bruce knocked on the table, then he looked at Schiller and said, "Professor, you shouldn't have any reason to pursue this matter, and when you faced the killer that day, you called out took his name."

"You'd better not be so assertive, then why do you think I'm going after serial murders all over the world?" Schiller said.

Bruce frowned and said, "You already knew the secret about the existence of this group?"

"More than that, I know more, but I can't reveal it, and even if you know, I'm afraid it won't change anything."

"What's it called?" Falcone asked.

"The Court of Owls, their killer is called Talon."

"That nursery rhyme..." Bruce suddenly remembered that there has been a weird and terrifying nursery rhyme in Gotham City: Beware of the court of owls, keep an eye on your travels, peep into Gotham City from the dark, hide in a low-walled attic, live in He is with him at home, he also exists in bed and bed, never mention his name, sharp claws will search for you.

Falcone was silent, he did not pursue further questions, Bruce wanted to ask more, but Schiller interrupted him, saying: "What we need to think about now is, why did this group suddenly withdraw from here? This does not seem to be anything. good sign."

Schiller is really confused, how did the Court of Owls disappear overnight?

In so many comics, he has not seen any owl court slipping out of Gotham. Judging from the appearance of this conference room, it seems that it has only been used not long ago. Why did it disappear in an instant?
Bruce Mosuo said with his chin, "Maybe they just moved their base?"

"Then why did they suddenly move their base?"

Both Bruce and Falcone shook their heads. From the perspective of these three people, this behavior is indeed very strange. There has been no major incident in Gotham recently. Why does this organization have to move in such a hurry?

And this conference room is indeed very secret. If they didn't move too quickly, leaving traces, it is estimated that even if the buildings on the ground in Gotham were rebuilt, the base underground would not be discovered.

With such a huge investment and such a well-built construction, it can be said that if you don't want it, you don't want it. What is going on here that they don't know?
"But now we've all confirmed that such an organization does exist, and it's no accident that Gotham has grown to where it is today," Falcone said.

"We must unite," said Schiller, tapping the table.

"No matter what you think, I have to warn you that this organization is more terrible than you think. It not only manipulates Gotham, but also wants to manipulate the world in this way."

"If we don't have the strength to fight it, Gotham and the whole world will be shrouded in the darkness of owl wings."

"I'll make them pay the price," Falcone said. "I've waited too long for this day. I don't speak, it doesn't mean I forgot about it, I'm just waiting for them to leave a feather, And today, I finally got it."

"Looks like we all have a grudge against the Court of Owls," Bruce said with his arms crossed.

He is not 100% sure that the death of his parents has something to do with this mysterious organization, but he is very sure that if it is this dark organization that controls Gotham and makes it what it is today, then they must also be murderers. One of the culprits who killed his parents.

Bruce stood on one side of the long table, Falcone and Schiller stood on opposite ends of the long table, and in the dark conference room, there was only slowly shaking candlelight.

Finally, Falcone said: "In order to avenge them, I am willing to form an alliance with you, but this alliance must be secretive enough, any member who joins this alliance must be reviewed by other members, and our purpose is only one …”

Bruce continued his voice and said, "Break all the mysterious forces trying to manipulate Gotham..."

"...bringing a new order to the city," Schiller said.

The three people who returned to the ground didn't say anything. This covenant didn't have any paper documents, not even any clear rules, but the three of them knew that this secret meeting that took place in Gotham's underground decided the city. future destiny.

Soon, police detective Gordon and lawyer Harvey, whose character, ability and belief can be trusted, also joined this covenant one after another, and the original version of "Gotham Secret Club" was born.

This is an organization that is even more mysterious than the Court of Owls. He has no goals, no program of action, and even everyone does not use any identity of this organization to communicate. They only maintain a superficial social identity, and only in When doing certain things, there is some tacit understanding that is only a little more than usual.

The ultimate purpose of this organization is only one: if Gotham was born in chaos, let it be so chaotic and free forever, anyone who wants to manipulate it will eventually fail, and Gotham will always be Gotham.

After confirming the trend of the Owl Court, Schiller also put aside his scruples and began to prepare for the first reconstruction of Gotham City, and the first thing he had to do was to come up with a perfect urban planning plan for Gotham City. .

Of course, Schiller himself has no knowledge of this, but it doesn't matter, he has a very useful golden finger.

"Stark, use your genius brain to figure out a way!"

Marvel New York, in the laboratory of Stark Building, Schiller handed a box of blueprints to Stark. Stark was inexplicable. After reading two pages, he said: "What is this? City plan? You put this What do you do for me?"

"Now I need a perfect urban plan for this city. You'd better get it quickly. I need it urgently."

Stark glanced at the drawing, then glanced at him, and the two stared at each other. Stark said, "Why do you think I can plan cities?"

"You won't, but you can learn, you always have to learn anyway, why can't it be today?"

"Even if you can't learn it, Jarvis can learn it. He is a super artificial intelligence. Planning a city should be easy, right?"

Stark opened his mouth, the swear words were almost on his lips, he looked down at the blueprint again, and said, "Do you plan to let me do the urban planning of such a mega-city by myself?"

"Okay." Schiller said, "Actually, there is a super genius similar to you who has come up with the first version of the plan, just because... you know, his supercomputer is not enough, so I can only Come here to borrow some technical support."

Stark didn't listen to anything else. He only heard the phrase "a super genius similar to you". Just as he was about to refute, Schiller threw another part of the blueprint to him. Stark stared in doubt. He glanced at it, then froze.

"Wait." Stark lowered his head and pulled out some documents in the box, and then began to compare on the spot. He took out more drawings while looking at it, and said, "What kind of exam question is this? This is The city doesn't exist in the world at all, you made it up, what's the point?"

"The meaning is to see who of the two of you is more talented."

"I repeat, there is absolutely no way anyone in this world is smarter than Stark." Stark stretched out a finger and said, "If you think there is such a person, it must be your illusion, and I will prove it now. show you."

After speaking, he also began to write and draw on the map with a pen. He said: "Well, I admit that he is a genius. His understanding of the logistics operation system is very unique and it looks perfect..."

"But it must not be the best, I have a better idea... Look here, this center dial is the problem, you must think this dial is very important..."

When it comes to this kind of issue, Stark becomes very serious and extremely methodical, saying, "This guy you are talking about, I admit he is very strong, it seems that he does not even use computer tools, but artificial Computing has almost reached the limit of human beings..."

"But he's a little bit creative. Like I said, his vision is a little behind. The city doesn't have to be flat, it can be three-dimensional..."

"Three-dimensional city, yes, three-dimensional city, I know this concept has been proposed for many years, and no city has been successfully implemented, but let's say, I mean, the city you gave me really exists in this world , the three-dimensional city must be the most perfect solution!"

Stark's tone was quite decisive. He said: "Look at the structure of the city... Look here! This is the prototype, what is this called? Living hell? How could someone call a block that way?"

"Forget it, that's not important, the important thing is that their spontaneously formed ecosystem is almost infinitely close to the concept of a three-dimensional city, which is actually part of the standard answer. This model is very suitable for the current situation of this city. , especially since it has a port..."

"Look at this man's plan. He uses the central turntable as the main hub. The idea is correct, but as I said, he lacks creativity. The central turntable may not be a circle at all, but a sphere..."

"Let's take our eyes off the 2D plane, it's outdated, it's too rigid, and now Stark is here to tell you what it means to be a real genius..."
