Chapter 894 (1/2)
In the dark and decadent hut, a few people stand in a circle a little crowded. This scene is like a bad man in a meeting, whispering in a whisper, carrying out an ulterior plot.
But half of the people present are members of the Justice League, which is interesting.
If possible, Su Ming can also send them to places like Zhongcheng to find a coffee shop where everyone can drink coffee and eat bear claw bread under their beautiful umbrellas and talk about plans.
Unfortunately, this plan is to be implemented in Gotham. If it is not dark and hidden from the beginning to the end, it must be useless.
Bruce's plans in the bat hole were generally effective, but in the hall of justice, although he made the general control room like a bat hole, it was claustrophobic and small.
But he was there as if he had no state, and almost all the plans he came up with didn't go well.
Either they are used by the enemy, or their own people lose their links. It's almost killing people.
To put it bluntly, it's not dark enough.
Sometimes, Su Ming still believes in metaphysics. If there is no way to explain things, it's better to follow the world's conventions. There is no need to innovate in such matters.
Gotham, like most American cities, is superstitious.
For example, if you meet a black cat when you go out in the morning, they think it's going to be a bad day. For example, if a colleague finds 13 people on the table at a dinner party, they will think someone is going to die. For example, if they are entangled by gypsy women, they will think that the devil is on them.
And so on and so on, Gotham and other places are the same.
Believe that some actions or information can bring good luck, others do not.
As a mercenary, often need to go out of the door, so for these things that can not be explained clearly, we would rather believe it, not believe it.
In the face of Oliver's support, Su Ming takes out the God killer and plays with it as a light. At the same time, he answers him in a low but clear way.
”Yes, he must have taken a fancy to something in the hands of the owl court of the main world by laughing wildly. Then the task of the bat owl is to use these forces, so his position at this time should be in Gotham, the stronghold of the owl court in the main world, which is his bat cave.”
”Do you have ideas?” Thomas asked, if the owl court was true, he recalled that some of the people who claimed to represent Gotham's true power had contacted him decades ago...
”Oh, yes.” Su Ming turned the deicide into a meteor hammer, and the light from the circle was more uniform and brighter: ”we talked about Bruce's great great grandfather, one of Gotham's greatest architects, Alan Wayne.”
”Well, he has a problem?” Thomas frowned.
Su Ming shook his head: ”no, if he had problems, he would not have died in the sewer. He died because of uncompromising. Let's put aside the secret history of your family. I want to talk about another thing, that is, besides the architect, he is a master of metaphysics. ”
”Well?” Diana shrank her neck and showed a strange look.
”In short, he believes in all the metaphysical theories we sometimes believe in. For example, he doesn't want to go out and see a black cat, so he always wears very dark sunglasses. If he is not at home, he never eats at the same table and so on, and this habit also extends to his works
Su Ming smiles at her.
It sounds ridiculous, but how much did you expect humans to believe in science 150 years ago?
At that time, idealism was the mainstream of the world, and ”I think, so I am” was the common concept of senior intellectuals at that time. What is the objective existence? If you don't have consciousness, you don't exist.
Everyone's eyes fell on the bell. Except for McKenzie, who had nothing to do with her, she was just watching, others were waiting for the explanation of the bell.
”Allen is a genius because the high-rise buildings he designed are of good quality and still exist. Although it's 30 or 40 floors, it doesn't seem like a big deal today. But at that time, Gotham was not a city long after its establishment. With such high-rise buildings, it was second only to big cities like New York and Washington. ”
”So...” Diana tilted her head to think about it, but found no necessary connection.
”When he was building a building, he would skip the 13th floor because of his metaphysical theory.” Su Ming spread out his hands and said the answer: ”instead of replacing the signs on the 13th floor with the signs on the 14th floor as in other cities, he chose to build the famous” twelve and a half floors ”in Gotham, that is, the interlayer.”
”I know that in the tall buildings of Gotham, there is a low interlayer above the 12th floor, which is not very high. It can only allow people to straighten up, and there is no means to enter. On top of that, the 14th floor is built. This is the unique style of Gotham, but I didn't expect to have such a connection with the Wayne family.”
Thomas nodded and agreed to the death knell. The buildings in Gotham are exactly like this. Originally, he thought it was just the conventional artistic means of designers.
”After all, people who don't want to leave windows on the 13th floor are not happy to stay on the 14th floor.” Su Ming said with a smile.Oliver nodded, such a problem also exists elsewhere: ”but after Allen's operation, he can see that there are 13 floors on the outside. If he actually goes into the building to take the elevator and take the stairs, no one will be dissatisfied.”
”It's impossible for ordinary people to climb up to the 12th floor on the outer wall of a building by hand, but it's easy for the claws to drill through the windows of a tall building.”
Su Ming stirred up the weapon in his hand, spinning to see the golden light moving on the people, and said quietly.
