Chapter 57 Published



The mourning bell is lurking near Randbridge.

This is the only way between Blackgate Prison and the Old Town. If his target "Bella Bettivan" comes back, she will definitely pass by here, unless she chooses to take a helicopter - if he fails to kill her, the Death Clock will choose to sneak into Blackgate Prison and kill Bettivan in prison.

As the sky gradually brightened and it was noon on April 28, he received a call.

"This is Roman, Roman Sionis," it was actually Black Mask calling. Black Mask said on the other end of the phone, "It's a pity, the commission has been cancelled. I give up this commission, but I will transfer the remaining balance to you."

Mian Zhong was silent for a while, then he asked, "Is the target dead?"

Roman took a deep breath, as if to suppress his anger: "No, the target is not dead. This bitch...she is right in front of me. We reached an agreement."

The mourning bell said calmly: "I have received your payment. I will give up this mission."

Black Mask seemed relieved, which made Death Bell wonder if there was a knife at his neck.

However, then, the mourning bell said: "Now, killing Betivin is not a mission given by you, but my personal action."

“Good luck, Sionis.”

He hung up the phone.

If it was before the explosion, Deathstroke might have agreed to Black Mask's request and abandoned this mission, but now, Betivern is a huge mystery in his eyes, and he doesn't mind spending some time to solve this mystery - or simply kill the target and keep the answer in his heart.

Mian Zhong stroked his samurai sword and said, "Let him see, Bettyven, how far you can go?"

When Black Mask was on the phone, Vivi was standing in front of him in the Bella character, and his phone was on external speaker.

So, Weiwei naturally heard it too.

She opened the map and found that the red dot near the Rand Bridge had not moved, indicating that although the Death Clock had threatened, he was still very cautious and continued to wait at the Rand Bridge.

He is indeed smart—

The reason why Vivi left Blackgate Prison as Bella and then switched to Vivi to find Black Mask was to send a message to the killer that "your target is no longer in the prison." If the killer sneaked into the prison and killed her, the situation would be very bad.

She got the news from Black Mask that this killer was almost one of the strongest in the world, and had even defeated Batman. He had a serum that enhanced his body and IQ. It was obviously difficult to kill him. Vivi lost her house but still failed to kill him.

It's always unsettling to have someone watching you in the dark.

"Bettiwen?" Someone climbed over the wall and saw Weiwei standing in front of Black Mask from a distance. "You are here? Are you here to escort Black Mask?"

Vivi made the phone call by threatening Black Mask to "move the entire house to Blackgate Prison in advance" - because the walls of the room were basically destroyed and there was not much that could be covered, Black Mask and his men had to stay here and let everyone watch. If this continued, he might kill someone!

Moreover, in such a room, one has to carry out some daily life, which is equivalent to sitting on the ground in the open air. It is simply horrible.

Black Mask contacted his people outside and even urged them to send him to prison. There are currently people sitting in protest outside the steel plant - they are from the Prisoners' Human Rights Protection Association, and they believe that this hurts the personal dignity of criminals.

Weiwei said: "Yes, yes, that's what you said. Then are you willing to donate a little money so that she can rent a heavy aircraft to airlift the person and the house away?"

The plane is now parked on a temporary apron not far away - Black Mask paid for it.

The person who climbed over the wall was Dick Grayson. Vivi was very happy to see him. He was a good policeman. You know, such policemen were rare in Gotham, like pearls in a rotten quagmire.

She waved her hand, signaling her men to let the plane take off - without the wall, it would not be too difficult to transport only a few dozen men - and then she complained to Dick about this annoying "killer".

Weiwei: "Maybe he will sneak into the prison and cause trouble. It's really annoying to think about it. There are so many prisoners in Blackgate Prison. It would be terrible if something went wrong."

Dick thought so too. Black Mask's communications had long been monitored by the Batcave. The Bat family would not allow any accidents to happen when sending him to prison. And it seemed that the warden knew that the killer was sent by Black Mask.

In order to keep the situation in Blackgate Prison stable, he couldn't let anything happen to the warden.

Right now, Batman has found the location of the mourning clock through the communication, and they have started fighting.

"By the way," Dick asked, "what did you do yesterday? I was just trying to get some solid evidence against Black Mask, and then I heard that this guy had been arrested. It was surprising." There was nothing surprising. He just transformed into Nightwing and sneaked into Black Mask's lair, and then teamed up with Vivi to obtain evidence and sent this guy to prison.

"Nothing special," Vivi shrugged, "I heard that a killer blew up my house, so I returned to the city and lay in ambush to collect information about the killer. It seemed that I hid well. After I knew it was Black Mask who did it, I came to find him, but unfortunately the negotiation failed." There was really nothing special. She just changed into Vivi's identity and sneaked into Black Mask's lair, teamed up with Nightwing to subdue Black Mask and his zombies, and then tricked Black Mask and sent him to prison.

The two smiled at each other, and both felt that their identities were hidden well.

At this moment, news came from the prison. Weiwei heard them say that Batman subdued the killer Zombie Bell and helped her send Zombie Bell to Blackgate Prison.

"Wow..." she exclaimed to Dick, "Batman is really fast."

"Yeah..." Dick murmured, "He was my idol when I was a kid. Because of him, I decided to become a righteous person."

The atmosphere is just right at this moment, Weiwei thought.

She probed, "And you became a police officer in Bludhaven? I heard that the public security in Bludhaven is not very good."

Dick smiled bitterly: "It's terrible to be precise, but we've done a pretty good job over the years."

If it is standard for a city to have one vigilante, Bludhaven has Nightwing, but Gothan has more than one vigilante, and it seems that there have been many of them. So Gothan should be many times more terrifying than Bludhaven.

She sighed, "Richard... well, I'll just call you Dick. Would you like to stay in Gotham? I mean, you know, this city is pretty bad, including the management of Blackgate Prison. You're pretty good at it, but that's not the point—"

"Ability can be trained, but heart cannot. I need a deputy warden to help me manage the prison, and there is no such suitable candidate in the entire prison. Are you willing to change jobs? Although it is from a police officer to a prison guard, I also followed this promotion order, so it is not difficult-"

Dick seemed surprised, because it was too outrageous to invite a policeman from the neighboring city who he had only met a few times to become the deputy warden of the prison in this city.

But Weiwei has her own support. Currently, Dick is in the next city and she can't check his attributes. As long as he becomes her subordinate, she can check his attributes and so on. It's not difficult, but speaking of that...

Speaking of which...

Because there were so many red names in the whole city, she never cared why Dick was a red name.

Who he hates is the mayor, the prison warden, or Mr. C. It can't be VV, right?

Even if they are taken in as his subordinates, if they are red names, their attributes cannot be checked, just like Sherk before his transformation. This is a bit difficult - Gotan City is obviously getting better, but for some reason, the number of red names is increasing.

"I'm sorry," Dick said finally.

"Oh..." Weiwei drawled, nodded, and walked towards the exit.

The turbulence of the plane blew her hair, her windbreaker rustled in the wind, and she heard Dick say, "...I'm sorry, I love Gotham, but I'm not leaving Blüdhaven."

This means that people from the neighboring city cannot be recruited.

Weiwei still felt a little regretful. Maybe some hidden condition was not met? She turned her back and waved: "The killer has been dealt with. I'm going back now."

She got on her motorcycle, and Dick stared at her receding figure. He said to the radio, "I can't tell if she knows where the medicine is."

"You certainly didn't see that," Tim said. "You didn't even ask. You just turned her down."

Dick: "Please, Xiaohong, Betty Wen didn't show up here at all, and you didn't find out that she said anything about the drug to Black Mask during the surveillance conversation..."

After Vivi left, Black Mask refused to cooperate. They searched the freezer and found that the amount of drugs stored in the bottom layer was not right. Either a large amount of drugs disappeared, or there were still undiscovered zombies - with four injections of drugs to transform one zombie, there were at least three hundred people.

Only Dick and Vivi were present at the time, and he couldn't help but suspect Vivi, but Vivi was elusive, so it would be better to pry clues from Black Mask.

While Dick was struggling, Vivi returned to Blackgate Prison with 1,200 vials of THE1.

Blackgate Prison is like home, it's good to have your own place.

Because the whole house is too big, the room where the black mask is located is currently parked on the open space where the prisoners usually go for exercise. The prisoners' exercise sessions have been cancelled in the past few days, and there are other planes landing in the sky from time to time. Vivi knows that the machine she ordered has arrived.

She didn't bring so many medicines to occupy her own parcel compartment.

"Being controlled, they will have no memory after waking up." Just by saying a power-on password, no, a command word, they can take on some mechanical work that does not require high intelligence, and they will forget about it after waking up. Black Mask is really too narrow-minded. He only wants these zombies to occupy Gotan. Has he never thought about sending them to Africa to mine?

He forgets when he wakes up, which means he didn't even think to ask him for his salary after waking up. How great!

And Weiwei just happens to have thousands of free laborers now, who eat for free, do very little work, and are willing to jailbreak and bully people because of their abundant energy.

She is not a devil and will not send them to mine, but it should not be difficult for them to do some work such as digging mud, picking up garbage, and pasting walls, right?

However, these people cannot appear openly, they have to be disguised.

She turned her attention to [Business Investment-Investment Channels]——

【Investment/Establishment of a new pharmaceutical factory】

【Investment/Establishment of a new garment factory】

The person who was injected with the drug could only perform some simple mechanical labor under the command of the controller, so Weiwei still needed a controller——

This guy should have experience in leading others, be good at solving some emergencies when Weiwei is not around, and never betray.

...Isn't there such a person in prison now?

The Penguin Man stared upward at the cell, gritting his teeth.

He couldn't bear this life any longer. He was willing to do anything to leave this cell and get a better one!
