Chapter 176 True and False, False and True (Two Chapters in One)

"Why?"

Pamela looked at Barbara with puzzled eyes.

"Because I'm worried..."

Before Barbara finished speaking, a voice that left a deep impression on the two women reached their ears.

"I know you are in there now, Batgirl..."

"The passage inside has been sealed for a long time. You will be found soon. Instead of wasting time, you might as well stand out directly."

Death Bell stepped in from the entrance of the passage and stood in the middle of a group of armed thugs.

"I can take you two away safely. These rubbish can't hurt you."

After Death Bell came in, he just said a few words calmly inside and had no intention of going in to search.

The other thugs were Bane's subordinates. They didn't dare to provoke Death Bell, but that didn't mean they would obey Death Bell's orders.

So dozens of thugs rushed into the underground base, looking for the traces of the two women.

Hearing the voice of Death Bell, Pamela was shocked and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Death... Bell!"

"Why, why did Death Bell know we were here?"

Pamela asked Barbara with gritted teeth.

"It must be that traitor who leaked our information here."

Barbara said with hatred.

"But you have taken off the Batgirl uniform, and I haven't used my ability. How could he know our identity?"

"Have you forgotten the excuse I used just now to prevent them from suspecting us, why I suddenly appeared here?"

Barbara smiled bitterly, this time she really shot herself in the foot.

"We took the initiative to say the name of Death Bell."

"But I didn't expect that he would leak the information to Death Bell in such a short time, and Death Bell could come here so quickly."

"They have great power, either Bane's men or Penguin's men."

Pamela was silent. It was indeed as Barbara said, escaping the pursuit of Death Bell was a perfect reason.

But because of the existence of the traitor, this became the key to their exposure.

"I remember that we only told Blake about entering Audisburg because we escaped from Deathstroke's pursuit. Could he be the traitor you mentioned?" Pamela suddenly came to her senses. "No, I'm sure Blake is not the traitor." Barbara shook her head. "As for how the real traitor knew what we said, there are too many ways. They can install monitoring devices in various places in the tunnel, or hide a bug on Blake when he is not paying attention." "Blake has almost no defense against everyone in the GCPD, so it is very easy to do this." "So, after talking for so long, who is the traitor?" Pamela asked Barbara anxiously, as if countless cats were scratching her heart. "The traitor is..." When they said this, perhaps because they did not control their voices well, they attracted the attention of a thug. He raised his gun and walked towards the hiding place of the two women. The two women looked at each other and retreated in the opposite direction... On the other side, Gordon came to Midtown Island alone. This island is located in the geographical center of Gotham and is surrounded by water.

The Merchant River, East River, Queens River, and Gotham River, the four longest inland rivers in Gotham, all flow through Midtown Island and meet here.

If you look from the sky, the river water just forms a ring, encircling Midtown Island in the middle.

Gordon carefully entered the scope of Midtown Island through a bridge.

There are very few residents here, and industrial parks and some famous corporate headquarters are built here.

The most typical one is the Pruitt Building.

In addition, there are many landmark attractions here, and Gotham Tower and Wayne Tower are both on Midtown Island.

Yes, that's right, Wayne Tower is also one of the secret bases established by Bruce.

In each administrative division of Gotham, there are at least one or two exclusive bases for Batman.

It may be in the sky or underground.

As Gordon went deeper and deeper, he gradually discovered the abnormality here.

Although there are not many urban residents on Midtown Island, there are many workers and fishermen here, and there are not a few people who rely on the river to live.

At the same time, the location of Midtown Island is relatively special. As long as it is not invaded by gangs, it will basically not face any threats.

But as Gordon walked along, there was no pedestrian on Midtown Island, and not even a light was on.

Even the Pruitt Building had no lights on.

The whole island was empty and dead silent.

Gordon did not find any traces of fighting on the block, so why did the local residents flee the island?

Or, did someone drive away all the people on Midtown Island...

Thinking of this, Gordon slapped his forehead. Is there any need to think about this?

Of course, Bane drove away all the people here.

Batman said he found the hiding place of the nuclear bomb, and it was obviously here.

Bane couldn't let the residents here stay in a place with a nuclear bomb.

Thinking about it this way, the current situation is very reasonable, but it's still not right.

"Isn't it said that Bane's heavy troops are deployed here? Why is there no one?"

Gordon muttered in his heart.

"Is there something wrong with Batman? This is impossible."

After thinking about it, Gordon felt that Bane might have only arranged people in the hiding place of the nuclear bomb, and no guards were arranged in other places.

Calming down, Gordon continued to move forward and came to the road in front of Wayne Tower.

This is where Batman asked him to come.

At the same time, this is also the only place Gordon saw a light source.

The first street lamp under Wayne Tower was lit alone.

Gordon trotted all the way to the street lamp.

However, there was still no one here.

"Batman, where are you?"

Gordon called softly twice.

No one responded.

"Fuck! Am I really being fooled?"

Recalling the possibility raised by Blake, Gordon thought unhappily.

"I'm here."

Just when Gordon was discouraged and was about to leave here.

A hoarse voice came from behind him without warning, which scared Gordon.

He turned around quickly and saw the familiar bat armor and half-exposed chin.

All these showed the identity of the person coming.

It's really Batman!

"Batman! I didn't think you would be late sometimes."

Gordon stared at him and complained.

"The more you cut me, the faster I grow. What am I?"

Batman said this without thinking.

"What did you say?"

Gordon was stunned.

"It's not difficult to solve this riddle. I thought of the final answer the first time I saw this riddle."

Batman was still talking to himself, and he didn't respond no matter what Gordon said.

"But even if I get the answer, I can't figure out where the Riddler hid the nuclear bomb."

"Shut up!"

Gordon suddenly lost control of his emotions and roared, pointing at the "Batman" in front of him with his eyes wide open.

"I didn't have time to give you the riddle just now, how did you know the content of the riddle!"

"You are definitely not Batman, who are you?"

Gordon's words stopped here, his brain was working fast, and he thought of someone instantly.

"Lupin III!"

"No, Lupin III is also a pseudonym, you are not an agent of SHIELD at all!"

"Hahaha, did you finally find out?"

"Batman" laughed, stretched out his hand and raised the bat cloak behind him, covering his whole body.

With the influence of gravity, the cloak fell naturally.

At the same time, the parts of the bat suit also fell to the ground.

It was Kaito Kidd who appeared in front of Gordon!

Maggieson straightened his top hat, secretly complaining about why the bat suit was designed so tightly, and it took him a lot of effort to take it off.

Normally, it only needs to be pulled, but this time it has to be covered...

"Kaito Kidd."

Gordon gritted his teeth.

"Don't pretend to be a righteous police chief. We are a perfect match here today, aren't we?"

Maggieson smiled slightly and said.

"What do you mean by that?"

Gordon frowned.

"I'm not the real Batman, are you really Gordon?"

Maggieson sneered and said.

This remark exploded in Gordon's heart like a bolt from the blue.

"What are you talking about!"

A few drops of cold sweat fell on Gordon's forehead.

"Tsk tsk, you are still acting at this point. As an actor, should I say that you are more dedicated than I thought?"

Maggieson said in amazement.

"Or do you not want to reveal your identity before meeting Batman?"

"I don't know what you are talking about!"

Gordon shouted angrily and took out a pistol and pointed it at Maggieson.

"Bang!"

Just as Gordon raised his pistol and prepared to pull the trigger, a gunshot came from somewhere.

The shot accurately hit the gun in Gordon's hand, and a strong impact made Gordon unable to hold his weapon at all.

The pistol flew out of his hand.

"You'd better take a look at this person first, and then decide whether to continue acting."

Maggieson said calmly, and then made way.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A man with a bandage on his head and wearing a khaki windbreaker walked out of the darkness and stood in the position that Maggieson had made way.

He held a pistol in his hand, and it was obvious that he was the one who had just fired the gun.

The moment he saw this man, veins popped out on Gordon's forehead, and a feeling of humiliation came over him.

"You have succeeded in angering me."

"Gordon" first cracked his fingers, and then twisted his neck.

The whole person's mental outlook changed drastically.

"In the original plan, the person standing in front of me at this time should be Batman, and he should thank you for going to hell for him."

"Gordon" stretched out his hand and snapped his face, and the whole face was torn off.

The exposed face was also a face wrapped in bandages!

Exactly the same as the man opposite.

"I didn't want to care about you, but since you have discovered my identity, I have to kill you to silence you."

"You are finally willing to take off the mask, Mr. Elliot, of course, maybe you prefer me to call you - Silence."

Magison revealed the true identity of the bandaged weirdo in front of him.

Thomas Elliot, known as Silence!

He is one of the four oldest families in Gotham, the current head of the Elliot family, and his status is similar to that of the Penguin Cobblepot.

However, the scale of the power under Hush is much smaller than that of the Penguin.

Because he is different from other super criminals in Arkham Asylum.

Others are interested in Batman, but he is interested in Bruce Wayne.

Thomas and the Penguin had very different childhood experiences.

The Wayne family and the Elliot family are old friends, and the Cobblepot family is relatively the least popular of the four families because they are very close to the Falcone family.

The Falcone family is a mafia family that immigrated from Italy to Gotham, USA, and is very powerful.

Many years ago, Falcone was the most powerful underworld emperor in Gotham and even the United States. At that time, people like Kingpin were just gangsters who had just joined the New York gang.

The Penguin was ridiculed for his natural body shape and was looked down upon in the family. His inferiority and cowardice were the truest portrayal of him at that time.

However, there is no need to say too much about what happened decades ago.

All you need to know is that because of the "degeneration" of the Cobblepot family, the fact that they mixed with Falcone to bully the people and form a gang made the other three families very disgusted.

So the Cobblepot family was alienated from the three families.

Thanks to the friendship between the Elliot family and the Wayne family, Silence became friends with Bruce at a very young age.

He thought Bruce was simply the happiest person in the world and had many things he didn't have.

No one knew that Thomas Jr. had a twisted mentality and he envied everything about Bruce.

This jealousy drove Thomas Jr. to develop the habit of imitating Bruce unconsciously.

The most terrifying thing is that because Bruce's parents were assassinated in Crime Alley, Thomas also imitated them crazily. He used a car accident to murder his parents and inherited their billions of wealth.

Then, he imitated Bruce Wayne through constant observation, so that he finally had plastic surgery to look like Bruce Wayne, wrapped his face with bandages, and called himself Hush.

That's why, when Hush pretended to be Gordon, he said that no one in the world knew Batman better than him. He had this confidence.

That's why Hush's disguise as Gordon was so perfect.

How could Hush not investigate seriously as the person who guided Bruce's life?

"Why, why could you hide it from me and make me believe wholeheartedly that you are Batman?"

Hush stared at Maggieson and asked unwillingly.

Maggieson laughed.

"Do you really think you are the person who knows Batman best in the world?"

The masked man standing next to Maggieson took a step forward and pulled off the bandages on his head.

The face of Hush before he took off the mask was revealed.

He is the real Gordon!

"You are just simply imitating a person's movements and habits, but you will never understand his psychology. Silence, you must be the person in the world who knows the least about Batman!"
