Chapter 338 The Truth
Although Dane already attaches great importance to Night Owl, it is obvious that he does not pay enough attention to it. He did not have time to stop Night Owl's men from stealing the quantum bomb.
Because Night Owl doesn't like delays when doing things, he arranged the matter to the Magic Family before returning to Gotham, and he himself became a smoke bomb to cover their actions.
Night Owl returned to Gotham for reasons other than Gotham.
But he didn't know the exact address where Wilson hid the bomb, but he had several guessed target bases on hand. He asked the Magic Family to search for them one by one until they found the bomb.
When Night Owl was captured, Batman and the others did not notice that Night Owl had another plan due to poor information.
Dane didn't learn the news from Ross until after the thing was stolen, and Ross told him that President Wilson now wanted to meet with him.
Quantum true bomb, Dane remembers that this was Night Owl's masterpiece in the movie.
"Before that, I need to find out where Night Owl hid the bomb."
"But Night Owl is not an easy enemy to deal with..." Ross was a little discouraged.
"Oh? Didn't I tell you? Night Owl has been captured by our people."
Ross was silent for a while before continuing: "When did this happen?"
"Before that time I met you."
Doesn't that mean that Night Owl was in their hands from the beginning?
Ross was a little confused: "If that's the case...then how did Night Owl steal the bomb?"
"He used Zanza's DNA to create three clones. They possess Zanza's power. Before being captured by us, he probably arranged for those three people to steal the bomb in advance.
But these are not important now. What is important is where is the bomb now? You'd better make sure with your father that the bomb won't explode before I figure out the location!
Dane did not continue, but he made up his mind that if the bomb exploded early, he would run away with everyone in the Justice League and return to his own world.
He can help people in this world subdue the Syndicate and even what Hal calls OA based on humanitarian principles, but he will never let his teammates risk their lives because of Wilson's stupidity.
After making these decisions, Dane rushed to Gotham City. He was going to interrogate Night Owl directly to find out the whereabouts of the bomb.
When he arrived in Gotham, the city was still licking the wounds left by the previous battle. Although Night Owl had been captured, his vest had not fallen off.
Today, except for the core members of the Jokerz, no one else in Gotham City knows that Thomas Wayne Jr. is the Night Owl.
In order to restore Gotham's local people's livelihood and economy as quickly as possible, Batman proposed that Dick pretend to be Thomas, take over the Wayne Group, and preside over the reconstruction of Gotham City.
After careful consideration, Dick agreed. He put on the nano mask prepared by Batman and dressed up as Thomas Wayne Jr. to go to Wayne Group to deceive the shareholders and the board of directors.
Dane met Night Owl in Wayne Manor. He was imprisoned in a separate room. The room was specially modified and not only was it extremely strong, but there were surveillance cameras in every corner watching him 24 hours a day.
It can be said that there is a camera watching his every move when he goes to the toilet.
For other people, life in this environment would have been suffocating, but Ye Xiao behaved calmly, even contentedly.
There was no surprise when he saw Dane walking into the room. He just smiled and said, "Finally I meet you, Mr. Shazam from another world."
During the time that Outsiders were in contact with him, Alfred repeatedly emphasized the danger of Shazam and considered him to be the biggest obstacle to the Crime Syndicate's conquest of the world.
Now the facts have proved that this is indeed the case.
Night Owl and Alfred agreed that what Shazam did in another world was essentially no different from them [Zhong used a gentler method to do it.
Even Night Owl is paranoid that Shazam, to a certain extent, may have allowed some incidents to happen just to allow the organization he established to gain some prestige that far exceeds what it deserves.
And he seems to have succeeded.
Besides Bruce Wayne, Shazam was the second person he wanted to see, and he was sure that Shazam would definitely come to him. Counting the time, the Magic Family should have gotten that thing.
"Did you know I would come over?" Dane was not a vegetarian. When he saw Ye Xiao's expression, he knew that the current situation must have been deliberately created by him.
"Then I guess we don't need to mince words. Let's just tell you where you hid that thing. Don't lie, because I can read minds."
"I don't know." Night Owl smiled, "Although I didn't know you could read minds, I have considered similar situations, so I told the Magic Family in advance to find a place to detonate the bomb. No need to go through me.”
So that's it, Dane nodded, the other person didn't lie, it seemed like something he could do.
"Why are you doing this?"
"In fact, I originally wanted to use it in your world. There was a bit of regret in Ye Xiao's words.
"But you guys came so fast that I didn't have time to prepare.
"But our world isn't your real goal, is it?"
Dane's words surprised Ye Xiao, and he raised his head to look.
"You must have understood the theory of parallel worlds through outsiders' affairs. I have learned about you. You have a very obvious nihilistic tendency." Dane said.
"It's not just a tendency." Ye Xiao smiled and said to him: "I am a believer. If you knew the truth of this world, you wouldn't think that all this is meaningful, right?"
Dane frowned. He felt something was wrong. Such a statement could not come from a person who knew nothing about the universe.
"You didn't discover the parallel universe because you were an outsider, right?"
Dane suddenly thought that if he came up with the idea of destroying the world after Alfred entered another world, then this time would not correspond.
Because in the early days of entering another world, the Outsiders and The Atom spent a lot of time adapting to the differences between the two worlds.
He spent a lot of time looking for the magic box. Although the outsider knew the function of the magic box, in the early days, he did not actually own it.
So during this period of time, the outsiders and The Atom were actually completely out of contact with the people here [During this period of time, Shi Yexiao happened to be planning the Prince Benben bomb.
So he should have known about the existence of the parallel world before outsiders contacted him.
Even if you think about it deeply, what accident caused the Outsider and The Atom to drift into another world?
It turns out that Dane did not think much about this problem because the space barrier of the DC universe is extremely unstable, and any experimental accident may theoretically lead to time and space travel.
But if we think according to the current logic, is it possible that the Outsiders and The Atom were deliberately exiled to Dane's world because Night Owl verified the theory of parallel worlds?
"Alfred's arrival into our world was not an accident, right? You arranged for him and The Atom?"
Night Owl smiled: "In the first year of the establishment of the Syndicate, I solved the problem of quantum decorrelation. In the second year, I created the quantum starter."
Smart people don't need to say too much. Based on these contents, Dane understood that Ye Xiao had indeed known about the existence of the parallel world long before.
So he continued following Night Owl's words: "You used the Quantum Activator to conduct experiments on the Outsiders and The Atom, and successfully sent them to our world, but...why?"
Choose some stronger characters, the outsider has super ability at all, and any accident may kill him.
As for The Atom, she is more suitable for penetration than a warrior. She is very suitable, but she can be replaced by another person as a partner.
But it should be noted that The Atom is not Night Owl's subordinate, so it is unreasonable for her to partner with an outsider. Would Johnny Quick allow it?
Also, why didn't Night Owl tell the rest of the Syndicate about this?
Night Owl said nothing.
But Dane just thought about it for a moment and understood that Night Owl's purpose was to blow up that world, but for the Syndicate, conquering that world was obviously more attractive than destroying it.
If other members were informed, they might even become obstacles to Night Owl.
No, that's not right. For Night Owl, even if you want to test the power of quantum bombs, you don't necessarily need to use a parallel earth as a testing ground.
Throughout the solar system, there are many celestial bodies that can be used for experiments, and those small planets orbiting around the galaxy can also serve this task.
If it's too far, it's not impossible to use the moon. There's no need to use another earth for verification, unless...Night Owl's goal from the very beginning was the earth.
"Did you come to our world from the beginning?" Dane asked suddenly.
"You react faster than I thought." Ye Xiao said, acknowledging Dane's previous statement.
But why? Could it be that he has grudges against the earth in the material universe?
Dane felt that he might have missed some key information, so he decided not to ask questions, which was too inefficient. He directly activated the mind-reading ability on Night Owl.
In less than three seconds, he had read through Night Owl's life. It took a few more seconds to slow down, but Dane finally understood everything.
Why did Night Owl become a nihilist? Why did he send the Outsiders and The Atom to Earth in the positive matter universe?
...Please give me flowers...
Why must he destroy the earth over there?
It all goes back to a man named Metron.
Before the Syndicate was established, one night, Night Owl was fighting criminals in the streets of Gotham as usual.
At that time, he did not kill all evil crimes mercilessly as he did later. Like the Dark Knight, he only captured and attacked criminals, but spared their lives.
He will definitely be more ruthless in his attacks, and he is not opposed to the use of guns, so the felons who can survive in his hands are essentially either dead or injured.
But at least, he still had a bottom line at that time. Even if the bottom line was not very clear, it was essentially different from the current Night Owl.
Then, the man appeared.
A strange man wearing black tights sat on a seat made of unknown technology that could float in the air.
He said to the Night Owl at the time: "Little Thomas Wayne, do you want to know why the evil in Gotham City can never be eradicated?"
Like Batman, Thomas Wayne Jr. has been pursuing this truth.
Even Dane thought wrong because of his own inertia of thinking. Thomas did kill his parents, but it was not because of personal vendetta, or to seize the Wayne family's property.
Original story about Thomas Wayne Jr. killing his parents
The theory is that he was afraid that the Waynes had squandered the Wayne family's property, and that Bruce Wayne was accidentally killed by Thomas Jr. in desperation.
But the truth Dane saw from Night Owl's memory was another version.
Thomas Wayne Jr. has known the dark inside story of Gotham City very early, because he is the eldest son, and the Wayne family property will eventually be handed over to him.
Therefore, young Thomas was told the truth by his parents very early on. The Wayne family is one of the important reasons why Gotham City is so full of sin and darkness, and the Waynes are a family.
To the disgusting evil capitalists.
From the moment he understood all this, little Thomas vowed that he would eradicate the evil in Gotham City, and he would first operate on his parents!
Dane was shocked when he saw this memory, not because he was determined to kill his father and mother at a young age, but because Night Owl was actually in the decent camp from the beginning!
Night Owl, like Batman, was born in darkness but yearns for the light, but the paths they take are completely different.
It's just that Ye Xiao's methods are indeed too cruel, and the first one actually used his biological parents to operate on him first.
After he teamed up with Alfred to kill the Waynes, he once wanted to tell his brother Bruce Wayne the truth.
But what he didn't expect was that the Wein couple gave Bruce the same education.
They took Bruce to face the darkness of Gotham City a long time ago, and Bruce's choice was completely opposite to that of Thomas. He chose to follow the Wayne family's way of survival.
Choosing to go along with darkness and sin.
When Thomas discovered this, he knew he had to make a choice.
Should he keep Bruce and wait until he grows up to become a new evil capitalist and continue to poison Gotham City? Or should he kill him and ensure that Wayne Group will be in his hands and follow his own wishes?
Law reshapes Gotham?
Thomas Jr. chose the latter. He did not accidentally kill Bruce. He planned to kill his brother and chose a path that he thought was just.
But as Thomas became a Night Owl and rose to prominence in Gotham City, he began to feel more and more that something was wrong.
No matter how hard he tried to clean up the city's rats, there were always more hidden in the gutters than he could catch, and he gradually felt confused.
At this moment, Metron appeared, claiming that as long as Night Owl sat on the chair behind him, he would be able to get the truth that had been confusing him.
Night Owl dubiously sat on the chair, the chair named "Mobius".
The moment he sat on that chair, he saw everything in the universe.
He saw the origins of Gotham [ten cities built by the Waynes, Keynes, Elliots, Krones, and Cobblepots.
These five families were founded by the most notorious criminals in the United States from the beginning. They bought and sold slaves, resold arms, planted opium, provoked wars, and plundered populations...
They have done almost anything that has anything to do with sin.
And a city built by such a group of people is dark, evil, and unjust from the beginning, and there is no hope from the beginning.
Every brick and tile in this city is bleeding with the dirty blood of sin, and the people living here are like walking zombies.
Gotham is not blessed by hope, and everything Night Owl has done is just in vain!.
