After watching the three people leave, Nora closed the door and turned around. The hall, which originally had only a few people in it, was almost instantly filled with people.

Someone fell from the chandelier overhead and landed silently like a big cat. Someone else lifted up the floor and crawled out, then restored the ground to its original state. Someone else walked out of the room normally, but before that they had been sticking to the door and watching... Nora shrugged helplessly.

She actually only spent a few hours with these special "elderly people". Her job was to wake them up and then tell them how to "live".

Originally, Weiwei told her that these people's cognition had regressed to that of a child, and Nora thought they were sick. Now it seems that they are indeed sick, but they are easy to take care of, and some of them can still remember their own names and even vague images of the past.

These vague memories cannot lead them back to where they came from, but their body's instincts can.

An assassin's instinct.

These children did not hurt Nora, but they were not easy to take care of, especially since their condition was so special. They lay dormant when they just woke up, but their eyes looked at Nora with confusion and closeness.

Now that the "outsiders" had left, they came over and asked:

"Who are they, Aunt Norah?"

"Can we go out and take a look? I won't let anyone find me..."

"Should we kill the person we find?"

"What about animals? Are we going to kill animals too?"

"I miss my mom... My mom would make me milk, and I feel like I haven't had any milk today..."

"I miss the little lion. Why don't they raise lions here?"

This is neither a circus nor a zoo.

"Hank, Dur," Nora called out the names of the two "kids" who were talking about murder, "Go back to your room, I'll come back and talk to you."

The innocence of children sometimes brings cruelty, and guiding them is a very important thing, especially since these children are not real children, but guys who can easily break steel pipes. It is very dangerous to take care of them, but Weiwei gave her another choice -

Should we let them start learning how to be human beings as children, or should we give them a shot and freeze them forever?

When Vivi hands over responsibility, she hands over options... hopefully this special building can, well, help.

Nora comforted the "children" when someone suddenly jumped in from the window.

At that moment, Nora saw how the quiet little leopards suddenly got angry, but the person who came made a gesture, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Mr. William..." Nora was stunned, "Why don't you go through the main entrance?"

William glanced out the window and drew the curtains.

Nora knew William. There was only one bus driver like him in the whole town, so she naturally entrusted the transportation to him. But at this moment, under the light, Nora stared at William's pale face and then glanced at the other "children".

The super villain's wife was silent for a moment, then asked calmly, "What happened?"

William: "Close the windows and doors, turn off the lights, and pretend that no one is here."

He recalled the face he saw in the dimly lit light while dozing off on the bus, and frowned, "Don't go out no matter who knocks on the door."

Nora: "But Miss Vivi and the two gentlemen just left."

"I'll go check on the situation," William looked at the other Claws, who were just instinctively wary of him. He suddenly looked behind Nora, "What's his name?"

It was the claw that had been following Nora while Jason and the others were talking.

This is the claw that killed Vivi in ​​the maze, and he faced the effect of the prop and was captured by fear like the other owls. Vivi didn't know his name, so Nora named him.

He has long curly black hair and beautiful cobalt blue eyes.

"Ross," Nora said, "what's wrong?"

William said nothing and left only after confirming that the nursing home was closed.

He knew that the buildings in this town were difficult to destroy, but that didn't mean the windows couldn't be removed; parts of the buildings could still be destroyed.

This Claw named William was originally named Ross Keen and was born in Harry's Circus. He had no descendants, but his sister's descendants were still alive and lived in another city. He didn't want to look for them because in their eyes, he should have died long ago.

Tal White's real name is naturally not Tal, but he likes his name very much now.

The Claws have consciousness and their own personalities. As members of the circus, they grow up ignorantly until they reach the appropriate age, and are then selected by the owls. Only the most capable are qualified to join the Claws. Then they begin to be brainwashed, forget the past, and believe that it is an honor to dedicate everything to the court. All the enemies of the court are their enemies... They receive normal education in their childhood, but once they become Claws, their destiny takes another path.

But childhood life will affect a person's future. After amnesia, memory recovery often starts with the vague, warm feelings of childhood. These meaningless things, which have long been forgotten by the times, sometimes overcome the joy brought by training and killing in adulthood.

...It makes you normal, but it also makes you miserable.

William is like this now, and he knows that Tar is like this too. When he just woke up, he was tempted by the future Tar described. It is better to say that as old "colleagues", they are familiar with each other and know how to deal with each other. He decided to forget his past temporarily, change his name, and try to live a different life.

…but it’s a curse that the court will find them sooner or later.

Just like the man he met today - he was wearing a suit, like a normal citizen living in Gothenburg, but William had seen his face. He was also a Claw, but he was different from them. They slept in coffins in the underground maze.

Under the arrangement of the owl, they will have different destinies.

"Almost all of Gotan's claws are here. If the claws come out, Gotan will be turned upside down in one night..." However, the guys who mastered the weapons did not do so. She seemed to punish them and let them be immersed in their childhood forever. But for these killers, these humanoid weapons, isn't this a relief?

So even though he knew what a powerful enemy the court was, he was determined to defeat it.

—For something vague and warm and meaningless.

When it comes to shopping, Vivi drags Jason along, and it's obvious that Dick also wants to take him along. Or rather, Vivi feels that Dick's eyes are always on Jason.

He did it in a rather covert way, but he was once Vivi's "teacher", and Jason discovered it.

There were three people in a car, but Vivi guessed that if Jason made any big moves, Dick would immediately rush over to subdue him and peel off the disguise on his face.

Weiwei, who knew the truth, naturally understood that it was because her brother instinctively suspected Jason's identity, but in the eyes of passers-by...

"You have such a gay look in your eyes, Dick."

The front of the car spun, and Dick coughed and looked away. The mall was not far away. In South Hinckley at night, it was like a shining lighthouse.

...because the lights are on on every floor here.

Dick couldn't help but say, "Isn't that a waste?"

"Yes," Weiwei said frankly, "I lose money every day."

But the mall’s losses are not the biggest part of the town’s losses. This town, which was built from scratch, has been losing money since the day it was built, because all the infrastructure here was built by Weiwei. After it was built, the water and electricity bills have been losing money, and it is obvious that the losses will increase in the future.

In order to attract other people to live in South Hinckley, the housing prices and other prices here will be lowered, such as renting a house for $1 and hiring technical personnel with high salaries. In the short term, it will continue to lose money, and in the long term... If the owl is not dealt with, the mayor will not even be able to collect taxes.

So what does it matter if a small store in a small town can't sell anything and keeps losing money? It's nothing compared to the whole city.

——The owls probably won’t understand it until they die.

The mayor's real motivation for discovering their plan and deciding to solve all the owls in Gotham was that she saw how much money South Hinckley was spending and thought of Gotham, so she "didn't want to borrow money from the bank anymore."

...What kind of lame excuse is that?

As long as Anna Elle showed her strength and the two sides negotiated for a period of time, they could have accepted her. There was already a place for her at the meeting table of the Owl Court.

She wants the tax revenue from Gotam City, we can negotiate to give her some of it!

Fortunately... they have no chance to know the "truth" in this regard.

Dick assigned purchasing tasks to the three of them. Vivi guessed that the people at South Hinckley's Iceberg Supermarket were so idle that they had memorized everyone who had entered the supermarket.

Coincidentally, the supermarket was the only place equipped with surveillance, and the rest of the town was ostensibly free of surveillance.

The employees in the supermarket had nothing to do but came over enthusiastically when they saw them. After hearing what they wanted to buy, there were far more employees than customers and they quickly divided the tasks among several people and asked them if they wanted anything else. Dick called Nora on the spot and Jason ran very fast and went deeper into the supermarket. Dick immediately signaled to Vivi to keep an eye on this "volunteer", but he found that Vivi had disappeared long ago.

Weiwei found Damian on the map. With this boy's personality, he would definitely not let the employees surround him. When she walked over, Damian was very close to Jason.

Jason was picking out notebooks and pens, while Damian changed into a new cape and hood, which looked like a children's version of a superhero peripheral. He squatted in the plush toy area, with a furry black cat and bat in front of him - Vivi suspected that the manufacturer had rushed to make this in the past two days.

The two people were separated by only a shelf.

Jason saw Weiwei and frowned: "Why did you follow me?"

"I want to see what the volunteers at the nursing home are buying. Currently, supermarkets can deliver things directly to them..."

Nora must have known about this, so this mission was really just something Dick "asked" for.

“A nursing home?” the boy’s voice came from behind her. Damian stood up, his clothes only showing his eyes, and he said, “What’s being built here?”

He saw Jason and noticed that he was obviously well-trained. He turned around and saw Dick, who broke through the circle and said he wanted to go for a walk on his own. The boy raised his eyebrows and said, "Interesting."

Weiwei turned her head and looked at the map again, and she also found it interesting.

Batman's three sons are here, but they don't know each other. It seems that only Tim is missing.

But it doesn’t matter if Tim isn’t here, because if you zoom in on the map, you can see someone walking around South Hinckley in the distance—

Because the town is so empty, everyone is very conspicuous.

[Mayor's Secretary (Bruce Wayne's younger brother?)]

Why can this kind of brotherly relationship be considered a profession?

None of the three legally recognized sons claimed that they were Bruce Wayne's sons.

When did this weirdo appear among her secretaries?
