Chapter 017
Clark looked at the restaurant on the news and felt as if he had seen it somewhere.
When he saw the police officer who was arrested for intentional homicide, he suddenly remembered that it was Officer Owens.
And that restaurant was "Pauli's. Diner" that he visited when he first arrived in Gotham a year ago.
It's also where Clark first met Jason Todd.
The scarecrow's words quickly caused panic in Gotham City. Ten minutes later, frightened citizens gathered at the gate of the Gotham Police Station.
The wording was harsh and demanded that the police severely punish the murderer.
But I'm not bragging, the Gotham Police Department doesn't have this ability.
Except for Director Gordon and his subordinates who can do something, the others can't even make soy sauce.
Even Commissioner Gordon couldn't figure out how much of his staff was sand thrown in by the gangsters.
This has caused him a lot of trouble recently, and his hairline has receded visibly.
But the operation to capture the scarecrow made no progress.
In the darkness of Gotham City, there seems to be an invisible hand, obstructing the police and escorting the Scarecrow.
Seeing that 24 hours were about to pass, but the police did not make any progress, and many citizens began to flee together.
Those guys who are generally good people can't stand this crazy city anymore, and fled Gotham with their families.
And the villains who are down to the bone see it as a paradise, and they start to party.
They were looting all over the city, and no one was afraid of Batman, because the bat hadn't been around for a long time.
It must be dead! The villains take this chance to commit atrocities in the city.
Yesterday, there were 6.3 million people in Gotham City.
But today, not so much…
The only people left on the streets are those who have taken advantage of the riots.
Criminals, scum, and worse, not enough good people left to stop them.
During these 24 hours, the three members of the Justice League witnessed the fall of the city.
It only took 24 hours for Gotham to go from the peaceful years to the hell on earth.
"I never thought order would collapse so quickly." Clark couldn't help being shocked.

"Even I have rarely seen such a corrupt situation. Is it really necessary to save this city?"
Strictly speaking, Wonder Woman has seen more serious scenes than this. The Wishing Stone of the God of Lies also caused huge troubles around the world.
But that was because there were God's black hands messing up the situation behind the scenes, and this was the first time she had seen a disaster caused purely by an individual.
They all turned their attention to Bruce Wayne, the Dark Knight of Gotham.
In fact, after the scarecrow released the threatening live broadcast, Clark proposed to let the three of them catch criminals, but Bruce refused.
The man was skeptical of strangers, especially with Dane's ideas.
He was afraid that the three of them would help, but Dane killed the prisoner directly.
Bruce hasn't given up on his "procedural justice."
Perhaps aware of Bruce's determination, Dane did not intervene in this matter.
But he chose to sit on the sidelines, in case Batman couldn't handle the situation completely out of control.
The Justice League is now vaguely headed by Dane, so neither Clark nor Wonder Woman objected to his decision.
Dane said to Bruce that if he can't solve this problem in time for the scarecrow to release the new gas on a large scale.
Then the three of them will take action directly, they can't just sit back and watch the city turn into a dead city like this, can they?
So in the past 24 hours, not only the police were looking for it, but Bruce was also tracking the traces of the scarecrow.
Soon, with the help of "Oracle", he found the scarecrow's cobweb horse track.
The "Oracle" is Barbara Gordon, the former Batgirl and daughter of Commissioner Gordon.
She has provided technical support for Batman as "Oracle" since she was shot by Joker and left her lower body paralyzed years ago.
Director Gordon never knew about this. He thought that Barbara's paralysis was the criminals' revenge against him, and he always felt deeply guilty about it.
"Bruce, Dad just called me to get out of Gotham..."
Bruce's busy movements froze suddenly, he didn't know what he should say.
If she could, Barbara shouldn't have taken the risk herself, especially not in her physical condition.
But before he could say anything, Barbara continued:
"I promised him, but I won't leave. Gotham still needs me, and you...need my help."
After speaking, Barbara turned off the communication, leaving only Bruce to continue to prepare silently.
Dane watched all this with cold eyes, and Clark and Diana seemed touched.
At this moment Alfred came to them with three cups of hot coffee.

"coffee?"
"Thank you, Alfred." Dane nodded his thanks.
Alfred hurried back to the manor shortly after the Scarecrow live broadcast.
Because he knew that once this time came, even Bruce, who had been decadent for a long time, would force himself to stand up and continue fighting.
It was at that time that he met the three Danes.
Alfred was not as wary as Bruce, and when he learned of the intention of the three of them, he received them very warmly.
I have to say that Alfred is really a gentleman, and getting along with him is much more pleasant than staying with Bruce.
"Would you like something for dinner tonight?"
Just as Diana was about to politely refuse, she heard Dane's voice next to her.
"Meat, lots of meat, more meat, anything."
Diana quietly rolled her beautiful eyes, and then she was no longer polite: "Just be ordinary, don't worry too much."
Clark also casually ordered a dish. He actually wanted a cheeseburger more, but wouldn't it be a bit silly to order so much?
Alfred wrote it down with a smile, and then went to prepare.
"Afu is such a good housekeeper, why do you think he followed Bruce Wayne?"
"How about we poach him into the Justice League?"
Dane lamented a bad idea.
Suddenly he felt a chill on his back, and when he looked back, he found that it was Batman who was casting "Death Gaze".
Don't tell me, it's quite bluffing after wearing this body.
"Are you going out?" Dane changed the subject nonchalantly.
Batman stared at him for a while before looking away: "Someone is calling me."
Dane followed his gaze out the window and saw that it was a huge amounts of bat shadow hanging high in the clouds.
Batlight, Commissioner Gordon's Batman Summoner.
"Good luck then, we'll be here to cheer you on."
After all, Dane was lying on the sofa and swiping his phone as if he was lying at home, and ignored him.
Batman's eyelids twitched, feeling that since meeting this guy, his style has dropped
He took a deep breath, ignored them, and returned directly to the secret room to the Batcave base.

Diana laughed and said, "Why are you always angry with him?"
"No, I respect him a lot!" Dane denied it.
Diana had no choice but to walk into the study, planning to find a book to pass the time.
Clark sat in front of Dane, wondering, "Are we really doing nothing?"
"Yes, we can't do anything during the appointment, but what..."
Dane deliberately cheated, and Clark was decisively fooled.
"But what?"
"We are not Gotham people, so the bat doesn't trust us, but we can let Gotham people participate!"
"Now he has nothing to say."
"who?"
Clark didn't react for a while, but Dane suspected that his super brain might be a cerebral infarction, which needs to be clarified.
He turned the screen of his mobile phone to Clark. On it was "Fetion", another social software product of Pioneer Technology.
But these are not the most important, the most important thing is the avatar above, which belongs to Jason.
"He has learned something and is coming back soon."
"I told him about the situation in Gotham. You know this kid. He decided to come back to Gotham to teach the criminals here a profound lesson."
Clark was relieved, he still had confidence in Jason.
But he obviously reassured too early, what Jason learned in the League of Assassins was killing skills, not law!
Dane didn't remind him, just continued typing on Feixun:
"Come back quickly, I've prepared all your equipment for you, and I'm just waiting for you to come back and kill!"
The other side will reply soon:
"Mr. Dane, can you prepare an extra set of equipment, I have brought an extra person with me this time?"
Yo, you brought your seniors back to help? Very good!
He casually asked: "Who is it, send me the height and 3D data."
"His body data is xxx, his name is Damian, and he is the son of Bruce!"
