The Richest Man in the DC World

Chapter 374 Underground Labyrinth (3)

The black short knife was extremely sharp. After piercing the armor, it penetrated into the bones. The pained Barbara almost fainted. In the end, she gritted her teeth and held on. The right hand that dragged the lightning ball hit the sharp claw's abdomen.

It's sizzling!

The white electric light wrapped the body of Sharp Claw, the latter trembled violently, and the electric eye turned upwards. Fortunately, the short knife was not made of metal, otherwise Barbara would not escape bad luck.

"Fall down!"

The girl kicked her claws against the wall, raised her hands high, and dragged the lightning ball down with all her strength.

The dazzling electric light illuminated the cave, and the lightning ball exploded instantly after hitting the sharp claw's head. Electromagnetic pulses mixed with high-voltage current smashed through his body, causing indelible damage to his head.

After doing all this, Barbara quickly backed away, looking worriedly at the twitching claws, the other's body was smoking, and the eyeballs began to glow like dead fish.

"Won't die!"

The girl was a little uneasy, endured the pain on her shoulder and said,

"Hey, are you alright, say something!"

"Is there anything wrong? Say something."

After a while, without seeing the other party's response, Barbara quickly took off her mask, put her fingers under her nose, felt the faint breath, and let out a long breath.

"Anyway, I won anyway."

Since the other party is alive, Barbara has no need to worry anymore. She raised her head and said in a slightly self-satisfied tone,

"Your skills and experience are far better than mine, but you are not smart enough. Smart people live to the end. This sentence is said by Luke, although I don't agree with it very much."

The voice fell, got up and left, and walked into the depths of the maze.

The road ahead is tortuous and full of pitfalls, but Barbara firmly believes that she will be able to get out and find the answers she wants.

...

Tonight was arguably the hardest night for the members of the Court of Owls.

There are six entrances and exits, two intrusion alarms, and one has no news at all, and it is unknown whether the dead man in charge of the investigation was defeated or fell asleep.

People in the hall were panicking, and every time a gossip came, there would be suppressed curses all around.

go on like this,

Before the court is over, the pressure will drive this group of "high above" aristocrats crazy.

A man in a suit who took off his tie couldn't take it anymore, got up and walked out, but was stopped by the dead man guarding the door.

"What's in my way, I'm going to pee, get out of here!"

The man in the suit pushed hard, but the dead man didn't move. He just raised his hand and pointed to the room on the east side of the hall.

"The toilet is there."

"you……"

The man in the suit was furious and his eyes were ferocious. At this moment, the dead man in front suddenly turned aside, and a mysterious man wearing a white mask and a red salute came out.

The man in the suit stiffened, he quickly stood up straight, bowed and said,

"Hello, Your Excellency Judge."

"Call me sir."

"Yes, sir."

The man in the suit is extremely humble, different from the previous arrogance.

The red-robed judge named "Mr." glanced at him indifferently and stepped into the hall.

There are two judges in the Owl Court. Sir Black Hawk is in charge of daily affairs, and the red-robed judge is in charge of claws and dead men. It can be said that the power of life and death in the court is in his hands.

With his appearance, the noisy hall instantly quieted down. Everyone stood up and saluted with the highest respect. The red-robed judges responded one by one, walked through the crowd and walked to the throne, but instead of sitting down, they pressed their hands down. said softly,

"The Owl was founded in the seventeenth century. There are countless trials and tribulations in the course of hundreds of years, especially the one 50 years ago, which is the most vivid in my memory. At that time, the three judges broke out in infighting and attacked each other. One The judges are also trying to unify the court with outside forces and make it their own."

"It was an unforgettable dark time, but we made it through, continuing our traditions, maintaining our wealth, maintaining our position... and continuing to be king of Gotham City."

"Why did we win?"

The red-robed judge looked down at everyone, his calm gaze fell on each member,

"Why? Because of the claws? Because of the dead? No, no, they are all tools, like knives and guns on a shelf, which need to be manipulated by people."

"We can win not because of the strength we have, but because all members unite and support each other, and gather all strengths to resist disaster together."

"This is the reason why the court has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is also the original intention of the ancestors to create the court. They hope that we will be tied together to protect ourselves, our family, and everything we have."

The powerful words echoed in the hall, and seemed to have the power to calm people's hearts. The restless people calmed down unconsciously, and a young member who was a little immature stood up and said nervously,

"Sir, we are willing to pay for the court, and we are willing to unite to tide over the difficulties, but we also want to know the truth. There are rumors that the police are sending people to explore the underground labyrinth, and Batman is in it, is it true?"

The red-robed judge laughed twice,

"Your words are half true and half false. The Gotham police are timid and do not have the courage to explore the underground labyrinth at all. Instead, they are fortifying layers of defenses at the western exit, hoping that we will fall into the trap."

When the words fell, they laughed again, and some members who knew the inside story also laughed. There are six entrances and exits in the courtroom, and it is useless to guard one.

"but……"

After the conversation changed, the red-robed judge continued, "Batman is indeed here, in the labyrinth, alone. He tried to use his own power to bring us down and destroy the court." After a pause, he joked,

"Do you think he will succeed?"

Ha ha ha ha!

Cheerful laughter sounded in the hall, as if it were a Chinese New Year.

"Okay, everyone, believe in the court, believe in yourself, it won't be long before Batman's body will appear in front of you, then I hope you don't get excited and watch it slowly."

After appeasing everyone, the red-robed judge left the hall and came to the conference room on the second floor.

As soon as the door was closed, the smile on his face disappeared and became extremely gloomy.

"Has Batman still caught it?"

The assistant hurriedly lowered his head and said in a cramped tone, "The killers sent out can't beat him, they're all defeated."

"What about the previous four? They also lost."

When he said this, the red-robed judge's pupils opened, exuding murderous intent, the assistant quickly waved his hand,

"No, there is no news yet, it should be soon."

"Four on one, Batman is definitely not their opponent."

The red-robed judge snorted heavily,

"What about the other two sides?"

"There is a woman in power armor over the garbage factory. According to the previous news, she is average, and she can be solved by sending two sharp claws. There is no news outside the city, and it has been very quiet."

"Quiet!"

The red-robed judge frowned, "Didn't they tell them to report the situation regularly?"
