What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 24

Gotham.

Wearing an English-style windbreaker, well-dressed and holding a civilized staff, the Earl of Vertigo was walking on the streets of Little St. Preis.

Although this is not the worst and poorest neighborhood in Gotham, it is still not developed and orderly. If it was normal, Earl Vertigo would never come to this sinking area full of rudeness and vulgarity, but this mission of employers require...

Drip--drip--

The dizzy Earl paused and looked at the driver beside him who was yelling.

"fuck you! Are you deaf?"

The cranky driver honked the horn again, and it blared deafeningly.Seeing that the Earl of Vertigo didn't react at all, he actually took out a gun from his arms and pointed it at him.

"Get out of the way, do you want to have dozens of transparent holes in your body?"

This is typical mania, Earl Vertigo frowned, he didn't expect that in this city even mania could go on the streets openly and even get a driver's license.

"Damn it, don't let me—"

buzz buzz --

In an instant, a qualityless and invisible wave swept across the opponent's brain. The driver lowered his head, and with a pop, an eyeball jumped out of the eye socket and fell to the ground.

Amidst the hoarse screams and the long honking of his head on the horn, the Earl of Vertigo bowed slightly, performed a standard British etiquette, then turned around Shi Shiran, and walked towards a dilapidated apartment on the side of the road.

"Let me see the address...No. 52. That's right."

He turned the exposed concrete steps and peeling red handrails to the door of Room 401, and held out his hand.

tuk tuk-

"Please come in."

"Huh!"

Count Vertigo made a startled sound as soon as he entered the room.

From the outside, it looks no different from the ordinary residential apartments near the slums. Even the door looks like it is made of wood, but as soon as you walk inside, you will immediately feel something different.

Behind the camouflage of the wooden door is an out-and-out alloy metal airtight door, which can effectively control the air pressure.

The walls, ceiling and floor are made of sheet metal, covered with explosion-proof paint on the outside and anti-corrosion paint on the inside.

This is completely an explosion-proof room that has absolutely reached the professional level. Even if the building collapses, the room will not be destroyed.

All kinds of weapons are piled up in the corners of the room, grenades, rocket launchers, and even multiple barrels of explosives.

On the other side of the room was a table with three people sitting beside it.

Two of them are known to the Earl of Vertigo, the famous death shooter, whose shooting ability is as famous as his bad character; the other is the British mercenary Ms. Vic, who has the same lethal murder ability as her seductive appearance.

The remaining ones who didn't know were two masked people: the younger woman was quite normal, wearing a smiling cat mask with a long knife on her waist, and the Earl of Vertigo guessed that she was another assassin-like mercenary; One is a bit weird.

I saw the man sitting in the corner with a welding mask on his face, the kind of transparent, anti-glare welding mask specially designed for welders.

He is carrying a pair of gas cylinders on his back, holding a welding torch, wearing a light gray tights, suspenders, and a pair of long rubber shoes.

From this point of view alone, he is completely an ordinary welder.

But what is fascinating is that in his left hand he is clutching the dead body of a dog.

It's a very ordinary dog. The breed looks like a golden retriever, but only the upper part.Someone chopped the dog down the middle with something and took the top half.

The dog seemed to have just died, even fresh.Half of the internal organs were dangling, and the Earl of Vertigo felt something rolling in his stomach just by looking at it.

And the man's left hand was so abruptly thrust into the dog's back from the waist, ignoring the blood dripping down his arm.

"you……"

"Hi, my name is Dog Welder, nice to meet you, new friend! I just arrived too."

The dog welder spoke...wait, it wasn't a man talking, it was a dog talking.

???

It was a real dog talking, and the dead dog on the left hand of the dog welder suddenly raised its head, and there was a happy smile on the face of the dead dog.

"Are you also hired to participate in the mission?"

This weird and terrifying scene really stunned Earl Vertigo, but he is not a normal human being, so he quickly recovered his dignity as a nobleman.

"Yes, sir, it has been an honor to work with you."

He tried not to stare at the dead dog in the opponent's hand, walked up to Ms. Vic, and kissed her hand: "Beautiful lady, your appearance shines like the stars in the sky."

"Earl Dill, old friend." Ms. Vic is a slender woman with blond hair and blue eyes. She wears a blindfold and a red-gold tights, but her shoulders and half of her breasts are exposed.

"you……"

"That's enough, when will your elegant aristocratic game stop for a while?"

The dead shooter, who was treated as air all the time, knocked on the table in dissatisfaction: "Now that everyone is here, let's come and hear what weird mission our benefactor will release for us."

He raised his chin at the Cheshire Cat, and the taciturn masked cat took out a tape recorder from the pile of grenades nearby.

"Ha, dear, I read that right, tape recorder?" said Ms. Vick.

Deadshot ignored her.He pressed a button on the tape recorder, raised the antenna, and adjusted for a while.Then he said: "The employer asked us to turn on the radio when everyone is here, please be quiet and just wait quietly. I think you are all here for money, just right, and I am the same."

So the four of them waited quietly, and soon, amidst the rustling, a voice finally came:
"Zizizi...can you hear me?"

"Yes, employer."

Deathshooter replied: "What do we need to do this time? Is it to catch the fireflies who set the fire, or some other criminals who jumped out of the corners, our righteous employers?"

"neither."

Deadshot heard his employer's voice hoarse under the influence of the radio.He had already checked, and the tape recorder was an oversized wireless walkie-talkie. Does this mean that the employer is nearby at this time?
"I have appointed a leader for you, and you must obey his orders completely. Especially you, Count Vertigo."

The Earl of Vertigo was somewhat disapproving.

Although he knew that he was not alone in this mission, he never thought of cooperating well with others.

He is a lone ranger, a lone wolf.He completed the same task with others this time, and it was already for the sake of money, and he was expected to obey other people's orders?
What do you think the leader is, Batman?
