The Death Knell

　　 "Talia, my daughter."

　　 Lei Xiao looked blankly at Talia who was constantly stirring the tea froth, her eyes were clearly empty, even if the movement in her hand didn't stop, but her mind hadn't known where she went.

　　 "Huh? What's the matter, father?"

　　 She came back to her senses and looked at him suspiciously. The cold wind blowing in the distance was taking away the last ray of heat in the tea bowl. If it continued, it would freeze.

　　 The fire in the hall was burning, and the flames cast their shadows on the wall, like dark monsters.

　　 "What are you thinking?" Lei Xiaogu turned his head and continued to look at the distant mountains. In this place, half of the year is daytime and half is night. At this time, South Badar is in the polar night.

　　 "I didn't think about anything... It's just... I'm a bit distracted. The weather is really cold recently."

　　 Talia made an excuse, she couldn't tell that she was thinking about Gotham.

Lei Xiaogu lightly snorted, and he didn't comment. He knew what his daughter was thinking, and the mountains in the distance knew her. Her careful thinking was like a black spot on a snow-capped mountain. It is also very obvious in the eyes.

　　 "I told you that Gotham must be destroyed. Its existence is a defilement to this world."

　　 Talia lowered her head, added a little hot water to the bowl, and put the kettle on the fire again: "Yes, father."

Lei Xiaogu sat quietly on the futon, smelling the taste of matcha. He liked Talia's obedience, and the reason why she could live and enjoy the eternal treatment of Lazarus Spring is because he likes to listen.' The word'father' is full of parental authority.

　　 Her mother died a long time ago, so she only has a father, and she can only have a father, even though he had the fountain of Lazarus long ago, he did not resurrect the woman, even if she was his wife.

　　 "When Baine finds what I want, we will start to act. Gotham has swallowed the people of the Alliance, and I will let it pay for it."

　　 Despite these words, Lei Xiaogu’s expression was very calm, as if he just wanted to wipe off a mud spot on the snow, not a city with 8 million people.

　　 Even if there is no one in Gotham City, he has to erase the ugly city so that he can feel calm.

　　 After so many years, he has become farther and farther away from peace. The peace on his face is just imitating before, and his heart has always been stormy.

　　 "Yes, father."

　　 Talia pressed her lips and responded lightly. She knew that when Lei Xiaogu went crazy, no one here could stop it. It happened that Batgirl disappeared at this time. Even with the intelligence capabilities of the Alliance, no one knew where she had gone.

　　 Talia wanted to suppress the news because she knew that once Batgirl was gone, her father would definitely hit Gotham's idea. This was the case every time, even if he knew it was a trap, Lei Xiaogu would rush into the bottom of the trap to find out.

　　The league has suffered many such losses.

　　 But the situation has deteriorated too quickly. One of the assassins who originally lurked in Gotham disappeared the day before yesterday. In the early hours of this morning, another assassin found her body left on the roadside, letting the heavy rain flood.

　　 Ordinary assassins do not have the right to use the pool of Lazarus. If they die, they are dead.

When the news came, she knew that the bat was not in Gotham anymore and could no longer be suppressed. The members of the alliance died and the alliance must avenge her. This is the rules of the assassins, and it is also the core guarantee for so many assassins to unite under the organization .

　　 She bit her head and told Lei Xiaogu the news.

　　 Lei Xiao’s ancient face was unhappy, but she could see the flame in his eyes as if it was blazing at once.

　　 He sent his men to contact Bain, the person most familiar with Gotham.

　　............................

　　 Bain was also a member of the Assassin Alliance before, brave and good at fighting, with great power, until he angered Lei Xiaogu for some reason and was expelled.

　　 After that, this stupid guy didn't know who he had taken refuge in. When he met again a few years later, he actually put on a gas mask and a venom device on his back.

　　 The venom behind him called'Titan' can double his size and strength, and greatly enhance his recovery ability and anti-strike ability. But long-term use of Titan venom can damage the brain and cause internal organ failure. At present, only Bain has a special body that can bear it.

　　 Lei Xiaogu seemed to see the scrap iron that he had thrown on the side of the road in the first place. He didn't know who had cast it into a treasured sword, and he was right there.

　　 Of course he would not miss it. At that time, he sent Talia to contact Bain to go to Gotham to do things.

　　 Baine doesn't hold grudges either. He and Talia have always been in a good relationship, but as soon as they met, he agreed to assist his old club.

In the process of making trouble, he broke Batwoman's spine with a wrestling action, and threw her into the'death well' where he had suffered in the Middle East, making her tortured by watching Gotham perish but unable to do anything. she was.

　　 It turned out that Batgirl was rescued by her former enemy. Ms. Siwa not only cured her broken spine, but also taught her new moves and fighting skills.

Batgirl then went back to the city and beat Talia away again. She discovered that Bain’s weakness was the plastic hose carrying the venom behind her. After unplugging it, she easily defeated him and took him to the Black Gate Prison for 50 The ton of special equipment is closed.

　　 Until a few days ago, I didn’t know how Baine got the raw materials in prison, reconfigured the Titan Venom, and his strength greatly increased, he escaped again and hid somewhere in Gotham.

　　 Master Ninja thought of Baine again this time, and sent someone to inform him that the Assassin Alliance needed something special, and the Assassin Alliance owed him a favor.

　　 This so-called special thing is only known to Lei Xiaogu and Bain, and even Talia doesn't know what it is.

　　 But as far as she wants, it will not be a good thing.

　　 At this time, Talia is in a complicated mood. On one side is the friend of Batgirl, on the other side is her father and organization, as if there are two voices constantly tug-of-war in her mind.

　　 Actually, she thinks Gotham is doomed this time. Batgirl disappeared, even if she wanted to secretly notify her, she couldn't do it.

Of course Lei Xiaogu understands, so now he pretends to wait calmly, waiting for Bain’s good news, and he is in a good mood. He even took Talia to enjoy the snow scene at night. He has watched this picture for hundreds of years. View.

　　 "Ah, Talia, is my tea ready?" He asked softly, touching his beard lightly: "I won't wait until Gotham is destroyed before I can taste it, right?"

　　 "Of course...no, father, it's all right, please use it."

　　 Talia sat up on her knees, put the tea bowl on the wooden tray, and slowly pushed it in front of Lei Xiaogu.

　　 Lei Xiaogu nodded in satisfaction, with some kind smile on his face, looked at her approvingly and nodded, raised the tea bowl, and took a sip.

　　 "Very good, this time the Kyoto matcha is very authentic, and your tea making skills have increased."

　　 "Thank you father for the compliment." Talia bowed down. She was educated in this way since she was a child. Obeying her father seemed to be her instinct.

　　 She had been fighting with her own instincts before, but this time, it seemed that there was no hope anymore.

"Hahaha...hahaha!" Lei Xiaogu laughed loudly, his powerful aura radiated unreservedly, and the flames shook more violently, even the distant mountains continued His laughter echoed.

　　 This laughter is complacency, relief, and madness~www.NovelMTL.com~ No one can stop me anymore! Destroy Gotham, then destroy the world! He touched Talia's head and helped her up: "We will rebirth the world from the ashes of the Amazons and the ruins of the earth!" Belongs to my world! "

　　 But when he was looking forward to a bright future, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the dark corner of the room, interrupting his dream:

　　 "I think it may not be."

"who?!"

Lei Xiaogu instantly drew out the sword from his waist. It was an Oriental-style double-edged sword. It was his best weapon. He was known as one of the best swordsmen on earth, and it was world-class. Sword master.

　　 He never thought that someone would dare to enter the Assassin League headquarters and be so close to him.

　　 Laren did not answer his question, but walked a few steps forward slowly, so that the swaying fire light could illuminate her appearance. She has a black cloak, a black uniform, and a black mask. She has wavy black curly hair scattered on her shoulders, with two pointed ears standing on top of her head.

　　 She was wearing black lipstick, and a golden plaque with a bat hung around her neck. It was used as a decoration and as her voice changing tool. She looked at Lei Xiaogu with blue eyes through the mask, expressionless.

　　 Lei Xiaogu frowned, pushed Talia away, holding the hilt with both hands, raising his momentum to prepare for battle.

　　 "How could you find here?"

　　 Batwoman threw two bat darts and directly hit the brazier. A strange gray mist sprayed from the darts. The flames in the brazier were instantly extinguished, and even a trace of blue smoke disappeared, and the hall was plunged into darkness.

　　 can only hear her voice processed by the voice changer in another direction in the dark.

　　 "Because...I am Batgirl!"
