Chapter 203 Bane's Action
The next day.
For some reason, Gotham is particularly quiet today.
Most of the residents seem to have a strange tacit understanding and stay indoors.
Today is probably the quietest day since Bane entered Gotham.
However, hidden under the strange calm is the restlessness of countless people.
It feels like the calm before the storm.
"Have the people from Sionis set out?"
Bane asked expressionlessly at the Knight Dome.
In front of him stood a shadow warrior.
Last night, when Talia and three shadow warriors sneaked into Sionis Manor, they were unfortunately discovered by the Deadshot.
They were immediately attacked by all of Black Mask's men.
The chaotic scene made it impossible for the other three shadow warriors to continue hiding, and they were pulled out one after another.
Black Mask attaches great importance to his own safety, and even arranged a large number of bodyguards at home.
No matter how strong the individual combat power of a shadow warrior is, it cannot withstand the large number of people.
In desperation, Talia could only escape by herself.
She reacted in time and escaped before the manor was completely surrounded.
At the same time, two shadow warriors were sacrificed.
Only the last shadow warrior survived.
That is the one in front of Bane.
Of course, this is not the most important thing. What is really important is that the shadow warrior came back a little too late.
Talia returned to Audisburg last night and told Bane that Black Mask had summoned all the men.
Logically speaking, if the shadow warrior could escape successfully, he should not come back much later than Talia.
But the fact is that it was after dawn.
So where did he go and what did he do that night?
According to his own statement, after he successfully got rid of the other party's pursuit, he did not come back directly. Instead, he turned back and continued to complete the task of monitoring the Seanis Manor.
With the last accident, he was particularly careful this time and directly set the monitoring position on an unfinished building thousands of meters away from the manor.
Although it is impossible to observe the details of the manor here, if Black Mask really wants to head towards GCPD, he can just see the only way between the East District and the Old City from the upstairs.
After all, they already know that Black Mask is gathering troops, so the most important goal is no longer to monitor the "manor", but to confirm the real time of Black Mask's action.
This doesn't sound like an idea that an "assassin's subordinate" can think of, but Bane is not surprised.
The training of shadow warriors is not limited to combat, and the most basic tactical thinking is not outdated. It is a compulsory course for shadow warriors to adapt to the actual situation.
It's just that at this time point, the shadow warrior's overly self-willed choice really feels a bit wrong.
No one dares to guarantee what will happen in such a long night. Is the shadow warrior in front of him really a shadow warrior?
Bane stared at the shadow warrior in front of him expressionlessly.
Although he has ten thousand reasons to doubt, he has to admit that the other party is his most familiar subordinate.
There are very few shadow warriors, and each of them is a disciple trained by Talia and Bane.
To be frank, Bane probably knows them better than they do themselves.
"You're back now, which means Sionis's people have already set off, right?"
Bane squinted his eyes and hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't do anything special to the shadow warrior.
"Before I left there, Black Mask hadn't really set off."
The shadow warrior shook his head, "What I saw was Floyd Lawton. After he came out of the manor, he left in the direction of GCPD, and he was alone."
"I know the ability of the dead shooter. In order not to be noticed by him, I didn't follow him, but came back to report."
"That means you don't know whether Floyd really went to GCPD..."
Bane pondered.
As an employee of Black Mask, the dead shooter should not easily leave Sionis's side during this tense period.
With this person as a personal bodyguard, few people in Gotham can get close to Black Mask.
And Talia also said that after Floyd knocked out her communicator, he did not chase her, but stayed where he was.
Most likely, it was to protect Black Mask closely.
Talia did not know that she was deliberately let go by Deadshot and Black Mask.
As for why they did this and what they were planning, only God knows.
In any case, Deadshot's actions were abnormal.
This might be a signal before Black Mask took action. Maybe Deadshot's mission was to convey a message to someone on behalf of Black Mask.
For example, Gordon...
"Domino, you should know that as a member of the Shadow Warrior, you must be loyal to the organization, otherwise..."
Domino is the name of this shadow warrior, and Bane knows the names of every shadow warrior by heart.
Unexpectedly, before Bane finished speaking, Domino made a surprising move.
He pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into his heart without hesitation.
"If the leader doubts my loyalty, then I will dispel your doubts..."
At the critical moment, seeing that the tip of the knife was about to pierce the surface of the skin, Bane couldn't help but take action.
He grabbed Domino's hand holding the dagger, and no matter how Domino struggled, he could not move at all.
"Don't give up your life so easily. Even if you have to die, you have to die worthily... There is no use for you to commit suicide now except to dirty the floor here!"
Bane said in a cold tone.
Domino was shocked and lowered his head silently.
"We have lost two brothers, and every remaining shadow warrior is precious, including you."
Bane let go of Domino's hand and took the dagger from him.
"This dagger was made by Talia herself. I will give it to you when you complete your training. Don't let it be stained with unnecessary blood."
"You don't have to go back to Talia for now. Follow me to seek revenge on Black Mask later."
Domino suddenly raised his head and looked at Bane at a loss.
Since the birth of this group of shadow warriors, they have been Talia's personal guards. Bane is their leader, and Talia is the new generation of "ninja master".
Bane's purpose is actually very simple. He really can't guarantee whether Domino is a fake.
With the current level of technology, it is not difficult to change the face, and ordinary identification methods are completely ineffective.
No one in the world can surpass Kaito Kidd in simple disguise.
And Kidd's target is the nuclear bomb guarded by Talia, so Domino agrees to follow Bane to eliminate most of the suspicion.
