Hibida put down Willis, stood up again, opened his left and right claws, and beat the kite man.

Hercule thought this cat was well raised. He just leaned against the wall with his crutches, like an innocent passerby coming out of the hospital for a walk. When Kite and Willis were lying side by side on the ground, lifeless, he walked over and asked, "So, um, Mr. Kite Man..."

"You should call me Charlie Brown." Kite Man failed to win and died in a stable. He collapsed on the ground and said in pain, "I feel that I may not be suitable for this line of work."

"Do what you do and love what you do, and maybe you still have a chance." Hercule said hypocritically, "For example, right now, I want to know what exactly Wilkinson Technology is researching?"

Charlie's eyes flickered:

“Actually, Wilkinson is, well, a cooperative enterprise of the Osborne Group, which is a company in New York managed by Mayor Norman Osborne.

What I know is similar to what has been reported in the media: Over the years, the Osborne Group has focused on researching artificial intelligence, bionics, biology, chemical engineering, etc., and they used the 'Symposium Blueprint' proposed by Norman Osborne when he took office as the basis. Taking advantage of the opportunity, we plan to get rid of energy and labor constraints by integrating several high-tech industries, improve people's average living standards, and ultimately achieve a leap forward in life itself. "

To put it simply, Norman Osborne has great ambitions, and is not limited to being the CEO of a technology company or the mayor of a city. A capable and unscrupulous person like him will be more likely to discover the opportunities around him and then seize them firmly.

Charlie mentioned the ‘Symposium Blueprint’, the word Symposium usually referring to Plato’s mythological work The Symposium, which explores the nature of ‘love’ in ancient Greek. When Hercule was in New York, he noticed that the names of the two research directions of the Aurobindo Group, ‘anima’ and ‘animus’, came from the Symposium.

Rumor has it that Norman Osborne has a very good relationship with his wife, and he should have unique insights into love. But "love" in ancient Greek does not only refer to love, but sometimes also refers to some kind of passion, courage, and contempt for death that are inspired by great deeds.

Hercule didn't know what made Norman set the long-term and difficult goal he said, but it was obvious that he had achieved some results in recent years.

"What's the use of that semi-finished material you lost?"

Charlie was cryptic: "This...I won't be able to explain clearly for a while."

But at this moment, a watch on his body muttered: "It's time, they are trying to fool time!"

Hercule lifted a corner of the cloth over his left eye and saw that the hands of the plastic clock hanging on the wall of the Willis family were spinning counterclockwise against common sense. It turned round and round, and round and round. Circle, the watch hand ticked, the speed became faster and faster, and in the end there was even an afterimage.

Hercule's heart was beating wildly when he saw this scene. He had already had a nightmare on the road, and now he felt that his sanity was at risk.

He pulled the cloth down to block the dizzying scene, and recalled that a long time ago in Aria's apartment, a bullet was fired from behind him, hitting the mayor's secretary who looked stunned.

"Entropy reversal?"

Hercule muttered something in a low voice. In front of him, Charlie's face changed greatly and his eyes looked frightened, so his voice was slightly raised, "Norman Osborn is studying the retrograde movement of time, and he has already made weapons based on relevant principles?

So more than a month ago, the mayor's secretary thought that when I investigated the serial arson case, I would discover the Osman Group hidden behind it, so he wanted to silence me. However, he did not expect that I would not die - the person who died became The real murderer? "

Charlie was stunned.

He thought that the 'Entropy Reversal Weapon' was a secret. He was in a state of shock and had no idea what Hercule was talking about.

Hercule was completely immersed in the memories of decades ago.

The sight of the mayor's secretary falling to the ground is still vivid in my mind.

The bullet hit the murderer and became the physical evidence taken away by the police. But if the murderer was not thousands of miles away as everyone thought, but was in the room, what about the gun?

Who took the gun loaded with special bullets?

Who sat next to the mayor's secretary, witnessed the incident, and calmly took the murder weapon away from the death scene, making the case an unsolved case full of mysterious factors that is still under investigation?

It was the deputy commissioner of the New York Police Department’s Community Affairs Department who gave a speech after the mayor’s secretary and sat next to him naturally after the speech.

Who is this deputy commissioner?

——A spy parasitized by the Void Wind and placed in the police station by Apocalypse Company.

The conclusion is: Tianqi Company has connections with New York City Mayor and Osborne Group CEO Norman Osborne.

Even Hercule was not shocked by this. He accepted the new setting with a calm attitude of "I have thought about the mayor being a villain" and asked Kite Man Charlie:

"Then what you lost was actually a semi-finished entropy reversal weapon. What are its characteristics? You don't want to hide it for them now? I can't think of any reason. Could it be that Lawrence Wilkinson is your father-in-law?"

"..."

"He's not!"

Even on his deathbed, Charlie still had to jump up and refute this terrible hypothesis.

"Lawrence Wilkinson is a beast! He knows how unstable the unprocessed entropy reversal weapons are and what the consequences will be after they explode, but because Gotham City has a large number of unnamed labor forces and is located in a traffic hub, He would rather set up the factory here to reduce costs and then transport it to New York for assembly!”

He completely gave up on himself and said with a distorted face: "People don't know that he is a devil sitting on a gold mine! The media is trumpeting the huge benefits he has brought in, and the government has given him a platform. No one can see the scythe of death. On everyone's neck.

Yes, I worked for him, but enough was enough! Urban primary and secondary schools organize students to visit high-tech industries. Can you imagine that scene? my son! My little Charlie came to his father’s workplace with great expectations, but he was less than 10 meters away from the ‘nuclear weapon’ made by my colleague! "

Speaking of this, Kite Man shivered violently and felt lingering fear.

Hercule rubbed his cane and said nothing.

Charlie took a breath and continued: "I've had enough... I'm not a good person, but I don't want my son to die on the garbage I created. So I-"

He bit his tongue and tasted the strong taste of blood.

Hercule spoke calmly without sarcasm:

"So you gave your unregistered half-baked weapon to a street gangster, hoping it would kill a few people, cause chaos and social repercussions, and draw attention to the crimes committed by your boss, Lawrence Wilkinson. Yeah?

There are many minors in street gangs, but in order for your son to survive, you decided to send those kids who are about your son's age to die, right? "

Charlie was tall and strong, but he was curled up into a ball with blurred eyes at the moment. Under the surprised gaze of Willis Todd next to him, he murmured: "I didn't... I didn't..."

"Indeed you didn't." Hercule nodded in agreement, "You had such a plan, but regretted it at the critical moment.

I really can't say whether this is because of your conscience, or because Wilkinson fired you directly after discovering that you lost the materials. Your wife and son, the objects of your protection, did not understand your efforts, but kept complaining, which made the original The intact family gradually falls apart.

So you followed the leader of the small gang and wanted to get the entropy reversal weapon back..."

Willis Todd didn't have a high IQ, but at least he understood this passage.

He lay flat on the ground with his beer belly and said disdainfully: "Trash."

Hercule gave him a stick without hesitation: "And you didn't realize at all that the 'gang leader' I meant was your son, Jason Todd, right?"

Willis was stunned, and immediately realized how close he was to death: a dangerous semi-finished weapon once lay on the floor of his house.

The man suddenly changed his previous attitude and insulted the culprit Lawrence Wilkinson with fear and hatred.

Hibida, who was listening with a translator in his mouth, said with emotion: "Human beings are really contradictory creatures."

Hercule glanced at it with a complicated mood, and took the initiative to pick it up from the ground and put it on his shoulders: "Indeed, and I am very glad that neither you nor I are like this kind of person or cat."

Charlie wiped his face. His son was still alive and his conscience was still there, so he felt guilty:

"I wanted to go to this bastard's house and steal the semi-finished weapon, but Willis had already contacted the gang at that time. After they found me, they teamed up to beat me up and threw me on the street. If it hadn't happened to be Thursday, I would have And I happened to find a leaflet from the Wayne Charity Association next to the trash can. Maybe I would have died in the alley.”

Then there was the plot where he met Harleen and Hercule from the charity society, and met Catherine again. On the other side, Willis Todd realizes that the half-finished weapon is a good thing and offers it to the Irish in an attempt to gain power and wealth.

At the same time, Harleen refused to help Charlie. The latter decided to become the Kite Man in anger and personally recapture the source of all these events, which was the unprocessed entropy reversal weapon, and then go to find the former boss Lawrence Wei. Erkinson's revenge.

But there is still a doubt in the middle.

Hercule asked: "Who told you what you said to me at the charity meeting?"

"The men of the Court of Owls, they call themselves Talons."

Charlie's psychological defense collapsed and he told him everything he knew.

"If you are not from Gotham, you may not know that the Court of Owls has always been an urban legend among our locals.

Everyone heard the story of the Tribunal as a kid, so when the undead under their command came knocking, I had no doubts. They gave me your photo and promised to protect the safety of my family as long as I tell you this after seeing you. "

Hercule was silent.

Does Charlie Brown really believe the nonsense of the Court of Owls about 'protecting his family'?

not necessarily.

But he had no choice. Protection turned into a threat.

Even if Charlie Brown becomes the Kite Man, he is still a small person. He lacks the ability to influence the situation and has the ability to fall into the hands of his enemies at any time. Only by completely eradicating the remaining love in his heart can he abandon his humanity and become a famous person. , a super criminal who would not be called a 'trash' by people like Willis.

Charlie Brown would only be the true Kite Man if his wife left and his son died.

Hercule hoped he would never become the true Kite Man.

"I will handle the matter of the Owl Court." He said simply, "Now I need you to tell me what special moves the Irish Mafia has made during your investigations these days. If they want to hide your semi-finished weapons Get up, where is this place?”

"I know! I'll take you there!"

Charlie jumped up from where he was, but it involved the wound caused by Hibida's beating, and he grinned in pain.

Hercule was much more injured than Charlie, and was silently watching him scream.

——He thinks that even if Charlie Brown becomes the Kite Man, he will not be a villain who can make a name for himself.

When someone is licking blood from the knife edge, this person is probably still weeping over the wound.

Forget it, if you do what you do and love what you do, sometimes you can’t be too utilitarian. Hercule squinted his eyes to block the word 'third-rate', glanced at the system panel, turned his head and asked Charlie with a normal expression: "Do you have a car?"

The kite man who lives on the street and has a home but cannot return to:?

He asked respectfully: "Don't you?"

Homeless Hercule living on the streets:…

At this time, do two injured patients need to take the subway to find a bomb to grab time?

He was speechless for a long time, then called Batman, briefly described what happened, and passed on the address given by Charlie Brown.

The Batmobile whirred into action, and just after seeing off Barbara Gordon, it was back on the road again. Batman on the road said:

"Charlie Brown's prediction was wrong. The semi-finished entropy reversal weapon was indeed prone to explosion, but the explosion power was much greater than he imagined. I simulated it dozens of times with the Batcomputer, and each time half of the city was transformed into the timeline. "

Hercule leaned against the wall and held up the phone: "You'd better tell me some good news."

"...No." Batman got out of the car, stood at the location provided by Charlie, and got new information after punching and kicking several members of the Black Band. "There is only worse news: we are late, they said The semi-finished weapon was taken away. As for who this person is, you should expect it."

Harvey, of course Harvey!

Harvey Dent was once a lawyer in the Irish Black Country. The Irish wanted to be in power, and Harvey was eager to send Lawrence Wilkinson to prison. They hit it off immediately!

The idea behind it is exactly the same as Charlie's: as long as this semi-finished weapon explodes uncontrollably, and many ordinary people or upper-class celebrities are harmed, the conspiracy of Wilkinson Technology Company, which studied it, will be exposed to the world, Lawrence ·Wilkinson will definitely be sanctioned!

Harvey Dent is the fourth person, after Harleen, Jason and Charlie, who has the possibility of making a choice in front of Hercule and becoming a criminal.

Hercule tapped his cane irritably, and Willis let out a cry of pain.

The detective said angrily in his cry: "I've had enough, Batman, I'm going to find the Joker, this game ends here. You go find Harvey, he should be able to listen to the advice of his friends, As for me, I want to solve the problem at its source!”
