The night is very deep, I don't know if it is because of the cloudy sky all the year round, even though the moon is often half-covered, it is difficult to see the stars.The black cloth-like oppressive and thick ink color pressed down, inexplicably bringing panic to people.

Of course, Xie Ming is by no means one of them. Even if he walks into a bottomless alley in a dark environment and faces an absolutely unknown danger, he still can't change his relaxed demeanor and fake smile on his face.

The deeper you go, the heavy sound of the stick hitting and the weak moaning of pain become more obvious. Xie Ming guessed that maybe he caught up with a boring violent attack, but he didn't leave because of it, but He deliberately hid his aura, intending to experience the real darkness of Gotham apart from his previous attack.

Hmm... maybe it's not quite dark?Xie Mingyin thought silently in the dark.

It was a few strong men who described it as wretched and kicked a teenage boy. Their clothes were very similar to the three punks who attacked him before. Humanoid tattoos, from a distance, look like dummies in the fields to attract birds of prey, very weird.However, this can also show that they are not ordinary gangsters on the street, but can be attributed to gangsters or minions of some forces. I am afraid that they gathered here for some mission.Thinking about it this way, the three unlucky people who died at his hands probably lost their lives in vain because they provoked him out of greed.

I just don't know if these people in front of them are completing some tasks, or they are taking the opportunity to find fault and bully others.Xie Ming leaned against the shadow in the corner, not in a hurry to stand up for the boy.After all, the current incident has nothing to do with him. He can turn around and leave. Xie Ming is sure that no one here will find out that he has been here, whether it is the perpetrator or the bearer.

It's just that he didn't do that, it wasn't sudden pity, Xie Ming just became a little interested in the sudden action of one of the perpetrators, and became interested in continuing to watch.

"Tell me obediently, where are the things you stole from the scarecrow are hiding now?" The muscular man with yellow hair kicked the young boy in the ribs, then squatted down, grabbed his hair, and slapped him hard. Drag it upwards, and then reveal the unyielding aura of the youth with blue and purple spots and delicate face and between the eyebrows and eyes.

In fact, it seems that the quality of this young man is not bad. Xie Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his interest followed.You must know that the young man's ribs were definitely broken when he stepped down just now, but he did not flinch and compromise in the slightest, with a stubbornness that reminded him of the bluffing little dirt dog in the countryside, and made him tease .

Tightening the hood of his robe, Xie Ming made sure that others could only see half of his chin before Shi Shiran appeared, quietly appearing in front of several people, and the conversation had just When the boy's eyes were red, he trembled angrily and said, "I'm going to give that to Batman, he'll throw you all in jail," and was thrown to the ground by the lead perpetrator.

"If that little bat can send the Scarecrow to prison, then I would like to thank him instead." The leader sneered, ambition and desire flashed in his eyes, and the words he said terrified several of his accomplices. "Boss! Are you going to betray the Scarecrow?"

"Don't talk about betrayal or not, that guy is just lucky enough to have first-hand information about the source of the goods, that kind of lunatic who came out of a mental hospital, do you think there will be any good results if you follow him? But fortunately, the source The liquid was accidentally taken away by this kid, as long as we get that thing, and find another way to ask the source of the supply, the Scarecrow will be able to retire." A sternness flashed in the leader's eyes, and he thought of the unintentional The conversation I overheard when I brushed shoulders with the forces behind the scenes.

Even if the Scarecrow is just a puppet supported by that force, he still wants to replace it, because if he guesses correctly, the drug trade is just a means of making money, and their true colors are actually the root cause of Gotham's frequent disappearances.The leader gritted his teeth, feeling that his heart was surging and he couldn't control it. He was full of delusional thoughts about getting in touch with the boss behind the scenes, and then facing the targets of the stolen goods, those evil races in the dark—wizards.

"We can do everything by ourselves. Why do we have to obey that crazy scarecrow and be ordered by him?" Speaking deceptive words, the leader looked at his subordinates who were gradually shaking, and thought about the future uncontrollably Of course, his purpose is not simply money and power, but to use the power of the wizards to become the real master of Gotham. Of course, he will not care about the young children who have sacrificed for this and will be sacrificed in the future. After he took charge of Gotham, he regularly offered to give those people the young children they wanted, and he could happily accept them.

Batman certainly doesn't want this to happen.

In the final analysis, due to the increasing activity of Batman, the underground forces in Gotham have really begun to shrink in recent years. It is naturally much more difficult to enter drugs, and Scarecrow is a new force that has sprung up at this time. Solved the urgent need of these drug lords.

But this is only on the surface. Jonathan Crane, who was thrown into a mental hospital by Batman last year, did not spend the rest of his life in the hospital. Instead, he did not know which joint was dredged, but he was declared cured after staying for a few months , was free.

At the same time, as the scarecrow's name was established again, various small groups of forces began to attach themselves, and with the khaki tattoo representing the scarecrow, they became one of the minions.It's just that the scarecrow absorbs too fast, and the new resources are inevitably mixed. There are the violent and brainless hooligans who attacked Xie Ming for selfish desires before, and there are also ambitious people like the leader in front of him who are rebellious and have been trying to seize the other party's position. , planted the seeds of collapse for this emerging force early, and waited until the day in the future when it unintentionally burst out of the ground.

Two months later, a large-scale disappearance of persons began to break out in Gotham, all of whom were children under the age of 11, both boys and girls. In just half a month, there were more than 30 incidents!Batman tracked down day and night for a whole week, but found nothing.However, at the same time, I don't know if the black hand behind it has discovered Batman's overt or covert actions. When he became worried, he began to restrain his actions and stop the crime.

This is why Bruce Wayne appeared in Seattle at that time. At that time, he was investigating the disappearance of young children. He happened to know the frequent disappearances of persons in Seattle, so he stopped by to investigate, hoping to find clues .It's a pity that this clue was not what he investigated from the very beginning, and it can only be all in vain.

There was no further disappearance case, and Batman continued to investigate and sanctioned other crimes. However, the criminals who abducted children not only stopped committing crimes, but even the more or less leftover clues could not be found. , as if they suddenly appeared and disappeared bizarrely, leaving him nowhere to track down.

And then in early October, when Batman even gave up, the disappearance happened again.And among the dozen or so young children who disappeared this time, one was a boy from the St. Swensen Orphanage. He was the closest child to Blake in the orphanage. , naturally extraordinary.

So even though Blake knew that he was powerless and unable to do anything, when the entire orphanage gave up, he silently searched for evidence and looked for the patron saint of Gotham, Batman.

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune. It was an extremely coincidental coincidence that Blake, who was looking for the source of the disappearance of the child, accidentally watched a live version of a drug deal. The seemingly inadvertent talk of 'speed up and collect young children' made him feel like a drum beating for a moment, and he eavesdropped with a very low pressure.

The final result is that Blake accidentally stole the drug solution that those people planned to take away, and the scarecrow has been chasing him down to this day.

The leader of this compartment lowered his eyes, looked at Blake who was stunned for a moment on the ground, his eyes were stern, "So boy, if you don't want to suffer more, I advise you to call the thing out quickly."

The muffled sound of his head hitting the ground seemed to be still ringing in his ears, and the heavy "nicking" sound made him tremble in his heart, and he had a terrible premonition that it would end here.Blake looked at the dim sky with misty eyes, and the leader above his head who looked determined to win, suddenly felt a little unwilling.

He is 15 years old this year, and he can leave the orphanage in one year and go to the wider outside world. However, the sudden disappearance casts an invisible shadow over the orphanage.He ran around alone in order to find Hill, who was dependent on each other, how could he be willing to die after finally finding a trace of clues, how could he give up this life before he even had time to find Batman and tell him the problems he found.

Yes, can't give up.

The light of the sky gradually revealed, and Blake strengthened his belief in a daze, but his heart trembled when he saw the man in black robe not far away.

Is... the god of death came to catch him?

Naturally not.

Standing behind those scarecrow lackeys, Xie Ming was wearing a black cloak with a deep hood, only half of his clean chin was exposed, his whole person revealed a sinister aura that made people shudder , "You guys are blocking my way."

The leader's movements suddenly moved, and he looked at the wall in front of him blankly, as if wondering how he could block others at the end of the alley, but was nailed in place by the originally gentle voice in the next second, "Okay Well, I admit that I'm being perfunctory, but in fact I'm just looking at you guys unhappy." Xie Ming glanced at the tattoo on the leader's shoulder, implying something.

Blake stared blankly at the weird man who stood up for him, and leaned against the corner blankly, a little grateful and a little puzzled, but at this moment, a ray of morning light that came in through the gap in the high wall, inadvertently When rubbing against Xie Ming's chin, there was a dazzling luster, causing Blake to open his mouth in a daze, and silently spit out half of his mouth, "Diamond Man..."

Thank goodness he didn't say this outrageous title, and Xie Ming himself wouldn't know that one day in the future, the whole world would habitually call that strange man wrapped in a cloak, a cordial 'Diamond Man'.Therefore, it is only now that nothing has happened, he will not do anything unreasonable to the boy who inadvertently named him "parallel diamond", so that the boy still has a look of robbery. Yu Sheng smiled gratefully, looked at the black cloak standing in the crowd, quietly put this imposing guy on the same level as Batman in his heart, and smiled with admiration and gratitude.

But at this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded in the alleyway, and the leader who had threatened Blake before suddenly groaned and fell down clutching his ribs. Xie Ming frowned and looked towards the alleyway. A tall dark figure, wearing a black suit in the shape of Batman, strode in.And the black muzzle of the gun in his hand pointed mercilessly at all the creatures present, causing Xie Ming to frown suspiciously, creating a strange sense of disobedience.
