Chapter 293 Turmoil in the Underworld
"Batman? But doesn't Batman never kill anyone? He would rather beat criminals until they are paralyzed and leave them outside the police station than kill them."
"Who knows?" Xia Yu spread his hands, "Maybe the guy in black finally figured it out. The death penalty is the best destination for those criminals."
"Batman doesn't kill people."
Just then, Police Chief James Gordon came over and looked seriously at the two young men in front of him who were chatting while working.
"If Batman kills someone, he's no longer Batman, he's a murderer, so Batman doesn't kill people."
James Gordon is the Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department and one of Batman's most trusted allies.
He also has a beautiful daughter named Barbara, who later becomes the Batgirl of the Batfamily.
In the comics, Gordon can be said to be the only light of justice in Gotham, but this character who pays the highest price for justice is also the most tragic and sad character, his level of misery even surpassing Batman.
In order to uphold justice, Gordon lost almost everything he had. His wife died, his daughter was paralyzed, and he himself was even the victim of countless assassination attempts.
But correspondingly, under his leadership, the atmosphere of the Gotham Police Department gradually changed from corruption to justice, and even many police officers began to fight for justice.
Although Xia Yu didn't understand Gordon's behavior, it didn't stop him from admiring such a person. After all, how many people would give everything for an almost impossible dream?
But admiration is admiration, but one still has to retort. In response to Gordon's words of complete trust, Xia Yu thought about it and retorted.
"Although you have great trust in Batman, he is just a vigilante who resorts to vigilante justice. No, he can't even be called a vigilante because he is not a policeman."
"Call me Director. We're not a company." Gordon glared at Xia Yu before continuing to answer, "But he did make Gotham a better place, at least better than we did."
Hearing this, Xia Yu did not refute, but Gordon's attitude... They are both police chiefs, but Gordon and George are simply two extremes.
George is the police chief in Gwen's Spider-Man, and he has always believed that Spider-Woman is a dangerous person because in George's opinion, there is no difference between the masked vigilante and those criminals.
Although they are both police chiefs, due to their environment, they have completely different personalities.
"Okay, okay, guys, enough small talk."
Seeing that no one spoke, Gordon pushed Xia Yu and the other person out of the police station while speaking.
"Now there is a very serious and big case before us, and it's time to get to work."
"Okay, Boss Gordon."
"Call me Chief!"
"Okay boss, no problem boss."
…
Outside the Seaness Building, the police who arrived had already cordoned off the entire building with cordon tape.
Around them, there were many reporters taking pictures or interviewing the police officers who were blocking the area.
Although Black Mask is one of the gangsters in the underworld, he also has an open business. Moreover, there is no one alive in the building , even if there is no good person inside, it is definitely a big case.
But this case was extremely bizarre. Since there were no survivors, there were no witnesses to provide clues. Also, the surrounding cameras seemed to have been affected and did not capture anything during the time of the crime.
It seemed as if there was a fog covering up everything that happened, making it impossible to see the truth.
"Xia Yu, do you think there's a new superhero in Gotham? Like Batman, but he kills people."
Inside the cordon, Zhou Hao and Xia Yu chatted while looking for possible clues.
However, although they are not looking for clues, their current state is more like slacking off at work.
Xia Yu was slacking off with peace of mind because he knew that it was impossible to find any clues. Zhou Hao saw Xia Yu slacking off, so he chose to do the same.
When asked, Xia Yu did not answer, but looked at the crowd that came to watch. These were not all ordinary people who came to watch the fun. There were also many other gang members who came to inquire about the situation and were preparing to annex the Black Mask's territory.
Although Xia Yu didn't know which gangs they belonged to, they were definitely not good people.
"Hey, I'm asking you a question."
"Huh? Oh, you're right."
Xia Yu, who was awakened, nodded perfunctorily and responded seriously that if you don't know what the other party is asking, then nodding is definitely the right answer.
Seeing Xia Yu like this, Zhou Hao knew that the other party didn't listen to him at all. He sighed and was about to ask again.
"Wait, I'll leave for a moment."
Without waiting for Zhou Hao to speak again, Xia Yu suddenly said, and then left Zhou Hao alone and ran away. Looking at Xia Yu's back, Zhou Hao opened his mouth and sighed again.
He also wanted to ask what happened last night. Although he didn't know what happened, he could guess that the destruction of the Seanis Building must be related to Xia Yu.
Even if it wasn't Xia Yu who did it, the strange behavior of the thugs last night and Xia Yu's inexplicably confident expression all showed that Xia Yu was no longer the little policeman like him before.
Never mind, he is just a small person, why think so much? Now that the debt of 40,000 is gone, he is too late to be happy.
Zhou Hao shook his head and stopped thinking about those things. Now that he had no debts, he should be happy and continue working.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Xia Yu left the cordon and walked towards the crowd. The gang members who came to investigate the situation were already planning to leave, so he followed them to see what was going on.
Faced with Xia Yu in police uniform, the ordinary people around him seemed to be blind and did not notice Xia Yu coming over at all.
A little bit of mental ability can reduce his presence to a minimum. To ordinary people, he is now equivalent to a small stone on the roadside.
Well... this kind of ability has appeared in some comics, a hat that makes one's presence disappear. When put on, one can do whatever he wants without being noticed.
Don't get me wrong, the comics he was referring to are Doraemon. Doraemon once gave Nobita a hat that eliminated his presence, but unfortunately Nobita couldn't control it.
After leaving the encirclement, Xia Yu followed the first group of gang members to leave.
A moment later, the gang members went into the alley. Xia Yu, who was one step behind, gave them a mental shock, causing everyone to faint at the same time. Then he randomly picked someone who seemed to be the leader and slapped him on the head.
The spirit invaded the mind and then directly read the memory. After a few seconds, Xia Yu got the information he wanted, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
It was only until just now that he knew all the black gangs in Gotham.
It seems that the only two mafia families still exist now are the Falcone and Maroni families, and these two families have always been traditional mafia models.
Including the missing Black Mask, these three black gangs are all the black gangs. The Penguin and Two-Face that he is familiar with are still not well-known or have not appeared yet.
At least Two-Face has definitely not appeared yet. Based on Xia Yu's superficial understanding of DC, he remembered that in the comics, it was Maroni who poured strong acid on prosecutor Harvey Dent's face, which made Harvey Dent's temper flare up and turn him into the villain "Two-Face".
At this moment, the Penguin is probably still working as a lackey under Falcone.
That is, after the fall of "Roman" Falcone, the Penguin talent quickly rose and built his own criminal empire in Gotham.
"Are there only two gang families left?"
Xia Yu stood up and muttered to himself. Although he had no grudges against these two families, for the sake of Gotham, they still needed to die.
But even if all the black gangs were wiped out, Gotham would never be a clean place. Its foundation is destined to be full of crime. It is better to say that there can be no clean cities in the America of this world.
Even in Central City where the Flash lives, there is a gang of rogues.
But to be honest, Gotham's black gangs have always had an uncrowned king, and that is Batman.
The Bat Family is his younger brothers, the Wayne Group is his business, and he fights crime to make his business better. The fact that only the Wayne family is left of the original four major families, controlling all major industries in Gotham, is enough to show the truth.
So Batman is actually the mastermind behind all this, the mysterious boss of all the black gangs, it's just that this boss likes role-playing.
Let's get back to the point. Since Gotham cannot be clean, it is still possible to cut off the unnecessary branches. What Xia Yu wants to do is to achieve great unification.
He wanted to unify all the underground forces in Gotham and then have the only underground king emerge in Gotham.
Of course, as a kind-hearted man who even helps an old lady crossing the street , he doesn't want to become the dark godfather of Gotham. This position belongs to Zhou Hao.
Don’t ask why, because asking will only bring regret.
Now that we have a goal, the next step is to move towards it, and at the same time think about how to train Zhou Hao to become a true dark godfather.
This position cannot be held by force alone. Even Zhou Hao, whom he knew well, had to go through so much before he became the Lord of Arkham.
Time passes quietly without anyone noticing, and the real Gotham is about to come.
The real Gotham is Gotham at night.
Tonight is still so quiet and the night sky is as clear as usual. The moonlight is beautiful, and the city illuminated by the moonlight is equally beautiful.
But this beautiful city with bright lights is actually full of filth and evil, and crimes hidden in the darkness are happening all the time.
Xia Yu, who had changed into casual clothes, was on his way to Carmine Falcone's residence. In just this short distance, he encountered three robberies and five thefts.
It has to be Gotham, which always makes people feel the passion of this city, the kind that can drown people.
"Well, if it weren't for the time issue, I would really like to turn them all into performance."
After easily killing the armed robber, Xia Yu shook his head and sighed.
He does not have Batman's principle of not killing. Batman does not kill mainly to avoid falling into darkness, but he can switch between darkness and light at any time and is not afraid at all.
Hey, I jumped into the darkness, hey, I jumped out again, hey, I jumped in again, you come and fight...
"cough."
Xia Yu coughed lightly to suppress the image that suddenly appeared in his mind. He had already arrived at Falconet's mansion, so he stopped thinking about it.
Falcone's mansion is actually an ancient castle of an eighteenth-century nobleman. As the founder of order in the underground world, Falcone would naturally not destroy the order at will, so he bought this castle with money.
A dime is still money, and it’s a good thing that the owner of this castle is not a vampire, otherwise Falcone would have regained his youth.
As Gotham's mafia family, Falcone has always maintained order in the underworld. By analogy, he is like the Kingpin in the Marvel world, that is, Wilson Fisk.
Although they are all gang leaders and super villains, they also maintain the black order to prevent the underground forces from falling into complete chaos.
This is also the reason why Batman did not deal with Falcone, just as Batman did not completely deal with the Penguin in the future.
No matter how much he wants to save Gotham, Batman understands that the dark order is also a kind of order.
Batman will not touch these people unless he can resolve the chaos after their deaths, of course, provided that these people also abide by his order.
Black has completely merged with Gotham. If you want to save Gotham, perhaps only the idea that Ninja Master Lei Xiaogu once had can be realized, that is, to completely blow up Gotham and then rebuild a new Gotham on the ruins.
However, Batman would never agree with this idea, so he became hostile to the Ninja Master. But at the same time, his second brother made him fall in love with the Ninja Master's daughter Talia.
And he made Talia pregnant. Damian Wayne is the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia.
…
Xia Yu, who was walking towards Falcone's residence, was discovered by the bodyguard at the entrance before he reached the door.
These bodyguards did not even warn, but simply raised the guns slung across their chests and prepared to shoot. Everyone in Gotham knew Falcone's mansion, so there was no possibility of going to the wrong place.
And they didn't receive any information from above, so there was no need to think about other possibilities, it was enough to just shoot and solve the problem.
"Bang!"
A crisp gunshot was heard, and a wisp of green smoke floated out from the ebony muzzle. In fact, there was no gunpowder smoke when firing magic bullets, but Xia Yu thought it was very cool, so he used magic to simulate the green smoke.
As gunshots rang out and bodyguards fell, shouts rang out one after another from this ancient mansion.
"Enemy attack!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The two guns fired continuously, and every time Xia Yu pressed the trigger, a figure fell down.
Xia Yu, who was within everyone's attack range, walked leisurely towards the entrance of the central house. The bullets shot at him did not even scratch the corners of his clothes.
He was lucky today. Falcone was not somewhere else but just inside his own mansion, so he didn't have to wait for him to come back.
At this moment, there was gunfire outside the house, but there was peace inside the house. Falconet looked like an old gentleman, with his silver hair combed into a meticulous slicked back and a glass of orange champagne in his hand.
