Chapter 2327 Gotham Music Festival (Fifty-Nine)
Chapter 2320 Gotham Music Festival (Fifty-nine)
"So you deliberately gathered the souls of sinners on this ship and gave them to Schiller to execute. You drew a sacrificial array under the hull to offer all these souls to the devil."
Oliver thought about it, but he still felt a little confused. After all, it was really hard to make sense of so many lines put together.
Schiller laughed, leaned against the railing of the deck, put his hands on the railing and said, "You may not believe it, but Arrogant's temper is much better than mine. He can ignore seasickness once, or simply not go to sea, but I won't."
"I can not go, but you can't stop me from going. You need to pay for the ticket to prohibit me from passing."
Oliver didn't understand the logic at all. In his opinion, this new personality trait of Schiller was even crazier and lacked even the most basic logic.
"You can divide this into three parts. First, the sea is basically investigated by professors you are familiar with, and the clues finally stopped on the Atlantis."
"After many investigations and speculations, I think this ship is coming for me, but I didn't take the initiative to board the ship because I knew they would definitely not be able to help it one day. Sure enough, I received an invitation letter. Batman's monitoring equipment installed on the sea discovered the ship on the way to the East Coast in advance."
"At the same time, Gotham's social structure has reached a time when it needs to be changed. The gang order is in jeopardy. These once-powerful gangsters have reached the time to exit."
"We originally planned to arrange a disaster to cut off their retreat. The Green of All Things came at the right time and destroyed their last hope. They were forced to board the ship."
"Then there is magic In the world, although the disaster killed many wizards, the sky fell because of the tall people. Most of the people who got into trouble were great wizards. Many apprentices with bad behavior took away their inheritance. Within a year, it spread all over the world and caused many cases. "
"The people from the Forgotten Bar, that is, the Dark Night Squad led by the Dark Night Master, have been traveling around the world in recent years to deal with similar cases and bring the murderers to justice. After a period of hard work, most of the problems have been solved."
"Some overly cunning exiles heard from the mystical world that the authoritative experts and scholars of the All Souls Academy announced the results of the investigation. The Atlantis, which has caused a sensation in the ordinary people's society, is not a ghost ship, but is related to the mysterious Atlantis. "
"According to the investigation, Atlantis was once a glorious land kingdom. Even if it sank into Under the sea, it is as beautiful as a utopia in the sea, and this ship is traveling back and forth on the surface of the Atlantis Kingdom. As long as you can get on the ship, you will have the opportunity to go to Atlantis. "
"At this time, most of the exiles in the magic world have been forced into a desperate situation. After hearing the rumor, most of them rushed to the East Coast and planned to take a gamble. "
"Finally, it is the FBI. It is an indisputable fact that they intervene in Mexico's affairs, but agents alone are still not enough. The Confession Cartel is our target. "
"In order to get the largest transnational drug trafficking organization to join, Cobert asked his men to offer a high reward for drugs. The high price and large quantity of goods required will naturally make people willing to take risks, and the Confession Cartel will not let go of this piece of fat meat that is at their fingertips. "
"But Guazhou, which is most suitable for growing poppies, has been captured by you, and they are eager to send large quantities of them. It is too late to work secretly to transport the drugs out. You two parties will inevitably clash. With the FBI's instigation, your defeat is inevitable. "
"But failure is only temporary. If you choose to retreat, someone will naturally follow. The Repentance Cartel wants to have it both ways. After driving you away, on the one hand, they can transport drugs in large quantities, and on the other hand, they want to kidnap or kill you to threaten the FBI. These two things are their main goals for future work and cannot be missed. So whether it is transporting drugs here or chasing after you, they must be good at it. "
"In this way, we have gathered three batches of sinners, the gangster boss who has been rooted in Gotham for a long time and refuses to repent, the magician Yudu who has caused trouble all over the world, and the vicious killers in the largest transnational drug trafficking organization in the United States and Mexico. A total of more than 200 people were all brought on board. "
"Wait." Oliver interrupted and said, "There are only more than 200 people on this ship. Are you all here? "
Schiller smiled and nodded.
"They did not disappoint us." Schiller continued: "There are indeed 99 souls of sinners among more than 200 people. Just as you said, I am responsible for the execution, the Dark Night Squad is responsible for the collection, and the demons are responsible for the delivery. "
"But I don't understand, what is the benefit for us?"
"First of all, it is obvious that if all 200 people are killed, there may be some innocent people, but if you kill one by one, you will definitely miss more than half of the damned. It is everyone's responsibility to remove harmful garbage and maintain the social environment. "
"But as the saying goes, garbage is a resource placed in the wrong place. If we only remove them, the damage they have caused to the world cannot be compensated. It is better to let them provide a little final value and make a good start for us to change the long-term trading method with demons. "
Schiller snapped his fingers and said: "From now on, the way our universe trades power with demons will no longer be to offer our own souls or organs, but to sacrifice the souls of sinners to them to gain power. "
"That is to say, a brand new profession is about to be born in this universe, and that is the sinner hunter. They sign a contract with the devil, obtain the sin-judging eye from the devil that can see through the weight of the soul, and embark on the road of hunting the evildoers and executing the sinners. , give your soul and gain strength.”
"It is conceivable that they will be the most powerful magical force in the universe in the future. In addition, since the cunning of the natural lunatics makes it impossible for modern law to hold them accountable for their crimes, then let the demons judge directly from the soul level. The weight of their crimes may have resulted in missed killings, but there was definitely no wrongful conviction.”
"This wave has ended almost all the good players of the Confessional Cartel, which can significantly reduce the pressure on Mexico, but once there are no foreign enemies, some people will definitely show their fangs, and Mexico's situation will continue to decline until Those who were oppressed could no longer survive, and a true revolution of blood and fire began."
"The FBI also suffered heavy losses, but this can be considered a good thing. Let them stop worrying about super prisons and special case investigation teams. A transcendent organization like SHIELD should have appeared here long ago. I believe Amanda and Nick will do it." After some exchanges, I knew what to do when I came back.”
"So what's going on in Atlanta?" Arthur asked, "What do you know about the Queen?"
Schiller shook his head and said: "I know almost nothing. I can infer that the murderer is Atlan because I have some knowledge based on other than facts. But through this conclusion, I can also infer that there must be someone." While Atlan slept, he gave his power to me."
"There are not many people who know the secret of Atlantis and have the ability to steal this power. Atlanna, the Queen of Atlantis, is the most suspect."
"As for the specific details of the transaction I had with Atlanna, it doesn't actually matter. The queen must have wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Using this power to weaken Atlana would also weaken me, provoking a fight between the two of us. So that Atlantis can benefit from it.”
"So what did you just do?" Arthur asked again: "Atlan looks very painful, and his strength suddenly weakened a lot."
"This is the key part of this plan." Schiller retracted his arm, walked to the front of the deck, and looked down at the water.
The others didn't understand what Schiller was doing, so they all came up behind him and looked into the depths of the ocean like him, and then they discovered that dark vortices appeared one after another under the ship.
Some kind of dark power leaked out from the magic circle under the boat, flowing in a certain direction with great purpose, like the most vigorous school of fish in the sea, running non-stop towards the deepest part of the mysterious sea.
At the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the three Hals floating in the water also discovered this abnormality. More and more seawater began to turn black above their heads, and it was even so airtight that even the light of a bat flashlight could not penetrate it. Half a point.
"What's that?" Hal asked.
"I don't know, but it makes me very uncomfortable." Clark took a deep breath and said, "There are very strong dark forces in there, and they seem to be concentrating towards a certain point."
"Come over and take a look," Batman said.
He realized what this power was. Although he didn't know much about the occult world, he was Batman after all. His investigation revealed that the source of darkness pointed to in countless myths and legends may have the same name.
"Barbatos..." Batman said his name seriously.
Hal led the other two people toward the place where the darkness gathered, and then they saw that the golden light emerging from the cracks in the ground was being constantly entangled and destroyed by the power of darkness, and Atlan's screams came from the underground.
"What is that?" Clark's sharp eyes discovered that a pattern appeared in the place where the golden light was the richest. It looked very complicated and consisted of many runes, with some elements of goat's hooves and horns in the middle.
"Is that a curse?" Hal knew a little about this and said with some doubts: "It looks like some kind of demonic curse. Wait, the dark forces seem to be converging on this curse."
"Atlan has been plotted." Batman saw everything, and he said: "Atlan is cursed by some kind, and this curse will attract dark forces to continue to gather here. This force is very likely to Devour him."
"But why is Atlan cursed? Hasn't he been sleeping?"
"I'm afraid I have to ask Schiller."
"What's going on?" Oliver asked as he lay beside the boat: "What is this power? Where are they going?"
"Of course I'm going to give Atlan a big surprise." Schiller said with one hand on his head: "Although the 99 sinner souls we provided are for trading testing, they are still normal and trading is possible. In exchange for something.”
"What did you change?" Oliver had a bad feeling.
"A curse, a curse written by a demon king. Of course it is not a powerful death curse. If you want to kill Atlan, you don't need two demon kings to take action. It is a beacon."
"Beacon? Guidance or something?"
"The dark power of Barbatos." Schiller's smile turned cold and he finally showed his fangs. He said, "It's about time Barbatos discovered something was wrong."
