The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

After Batman accessed the network of this universe, he searched for a lot of information about Barbatos, but he knew that the information that could be found online was only the tip of the iceberg. If he wanted to go deeper, he could only consult professionals.

He wrote down what Constantine said about the researchers at Oxford University. He had never heard that Oxford University had a major that specialized in the study of mysticism.

The mysterious sacrificial square that appeared underground made Batman greatly alert. No matter who the four pillars of gods were above, they had already appeared in the universe, which proved that they were not far away when they took action.

The plan in Batman's head begins to take shape.

After the dark energy in the green body of all things was expelled, he gradually calmed down, and then he was almost frightened to death by his recklessness and hastiness. How could he forget that this was Gotham? Gotham is the most famous weird place among the three worlds and five elements. land.

In fact, when Pamela found the Green of All Things in order to study plants that could survive in Gotham, the Green of All Things had investigated this city, but he found that this place indeed refused the intrusion of all green elements. It was not that anyone had established a rule for this place. What kind of barrier, but it seems that this place has been occupied by something.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid this weird city is the stronghold of that damn dark dragon in the universe. Barbatos allowed me to catch you.

After thinking about this, the Green of All Things stopped being entangled. After all, when he first came here, he encountered such a series of irritating things. He wanted to fight but happened to encounter the gathering of dark forces underground. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Isn't this the case? Did he reveal the trap Barbatos had prepared for him? The fool also knew that he shouldn't stay here for a long time.

The green of all things turned around and wanted to leave, but as he said, the atmosphere has already been set up here, is it so easy to leave?

When Schiller gave Nick a look, everyone knew that their good doctor was back. When Nick gave Strange a look, everyone knew that the matter might not be rectified today. When Loki was gone, everyone knew that this matter was probably just the beginning.

Sure enough, there was a loud bang in the sky, and thunder appeared. There was a crack of thunder in the sky above Gotham North District. After a burst of thunder, a bright crack in space lit up. A hammer fell like a meteor, followed closely by a strong figure. .

Loki, you damn liar!!!

The roar echoed over the northern manor area. The power of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, remained undiminished after it fell. The lightning flashed. Countless rays of bright electric light flew out along the center of the fall, destroying the manor almost instantly. The area was burned to ashes.

The furious Thor did not hesitate to give in. He waved the hammer like crazy, and the human buildings were as brittle as paper in his hands. In a few flashes of lightning, the gorgeous manor was instantly wiped out.

The gang boss who was standing on the ground watching the excitement was dumbfounded. I heard that someone’s house was on fire. I went over and saw, it’s my house! It’s my house!

Standing alone by the window in the corridor on the second floor, Alberto looked at the electric light and firelight in the distance with a cold expression. He took the lady next to him and kissed her gently on the forehead.

Doesn't it matter?

You'll be fine here.

Then he looked out the window and said: This farce that has lasted for fifty years must end. We will eventually sink to the bottom of the river of history and drown silently.

Previously, the great monarch Vandal Savage carried out a wave of wild consumption in Gotham. In addition to allowing a large amount of money to flow into the hands of the Wayne Group, the most important thing was actually the inflow of the antiques in Savage's hands. art market.

That was actually the time when gangsters were making the most money. They had not completely washed their hands and came ashore, and the logistics industry had just developed. With both gangsters and white gangsters using their methods, money seemed to fall from the sky.

It's a pity that people can never make money beyond their own knowledge. Gangsters are gangsters. Even if you put on the filter of the times, you can only say that the wisdom of the twelve families is the same, and the old godfather monopolizes eight buckets. There is no long-term vision and no great ideas. How can people who have no wisdom, no faith and no path not be deceived by pie in the sky?

Money comes so easily, and you don’t feel bad when you spend it. The gang bosses are dominating the art and luxury goods markets, and they take pictures of those seemingly precious and worth showing off treasures at crazy prices one after another. I have never thought about antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. Once their prosperous times pass, these antiques with only historical value will be fragile and vulnerable.

Exchanging a large amount of working capital for antiques means that they have almost no way to spend money to increase production. The crazier they are, the sooner they will be eliminated. It can be said that the remaining gangsters are already relatively smart. .

The second screening is to clean up and go ashore. In fact, at the beginning of the music festival, a small number of gang bosses have realized that the gang's methods are not only becoming less effective, but also becoming a stumbling block.

After the initial order is restored in society, certain criminal acts will cause greater trouble. To put it in perspective, they are excitedly inspecting the location of a new small commodity processing factory. A subordinate called and said that so-and-so Another serious fire broke out in a street. Not only did forty or fifty thugs die, but more than 100 workers were also implicated. Who doesn't have high blood pressure?

When the small commodities with Gotham cultural attributes are put on sale in the early stage of the music festival, they are completely money printing machines. Having a factory is equivalent to one more money printing machine, and if a factory is affected, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be lost in a day. .

However, gangs have always relied on violence and power to survive. You don't just say you won't fight, the other party will provoke you. As long as you are still a gangster, you cannot seek justice from the law and can only fight back on your own.

But fighting back is a waste of manpower and material resources, and affects production. James Gordon doesn't tolerate your faults. It makes too much noise and affects too many people. He will seal your factory for any fire protection reason. If you are in If you want to seek justice from the police station through violent means, there is really no need to do anything.

Therefore, although a small number of smart and courageous gang bosses still maintain their identity as the leader of the twelve family gangs and respect Falcone on the surface, they have actually invested the money they earned in legal industries. By the time the festival opened, a considerable amount of liquidity had been washed out.

In contrast, those gangster bosses who are not very sober are trapped in a vicious cycle. Everyone else eats meat, and he can't drink soup, so he naturally has to build a factory.

But they were used to being arrogant and domineering before, and they didn't know how to avoid their sharp edges. The land and money to build the factory were snatched away. When the factory was built, it was in good condition. After it was built, the enemies came and burned down the people and the house. , there is nothing they can do.

But the more it fails, the more jealous the factory becomes. If others can make money, the more they have to find ways to rob others. But the more you rob others, the more enemies you will attract, and the more the fight will be insurmountable.

Today's Gotham is different from the past. With social order, the results of economic development can be tilted toward the lower classes, and ordinary people can obtain more legal employment opportunities.

Why should you stick your head in your waistband and fight with others when you can set up a stall at the train station and sell cold noodles for five dollars, and get a thank you from tourists? If you die in a gang fight, you will not get any pension. It must be at this price.

Most ordinary people have a natural wisdom of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in life in the market. In essence, it is better to live than to die. No one wants to risk his life until the critical moment.

This has led to a large number of young people who should have entered the gang system at this moment to replenish the gang's thugs with fresh blood. They have chosen to change careers. If they are relevant, they are looking for connections. If they are not, they are looking for opportunities. Selling something on the street is no better than joining a gang and shooting. powerful?

In the eyes of outsiders, gang members are much cooler than street vendors, but Gotham locals have been disenchanted with gangs 10,000 years ago and are deeply aware of what a cruel and dark survival system it is, so as long as they get a little The hope of being able to leave is really like the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers. If he can walk, he will walk. If he should run, he will run away.

This will lead to fewer and fewer people being recruited by orthodox gangs, but the more serious problem is that the price charged for a single person is getting higher and higher.

When everyone around them chooses to live within the social order and can earn a lot of money, then those desperadoes who plan to risk their lives will naturally have to weigh the value of their lives.

If I can't make as much money as others working from 9 to 5 when I bet my life, then why don't I also sell Liangpi?

Therefore, in the eyes of the gang bosses, their asking price can be called a big deal, and it is not like the original weekly or monthly wages, but more like a fixed price for mercenaries.

Because the gang boss is busy with other things, there are fewer people willing to join the gang and the price is higher, so the selection has to be more careful. However, there is no one else in the gang who can do this, so many headhunting organizations and middlemen have come out of the blue. Eat the difference while cheating on these rich fools.

After Gotham's human resources turned into a complete buyer's market, the money in the hands of this group of gangsters who were not so clear-headed went out faster, but they didn't have the ability to calculate carefully. They were already very good at dealing with various enemies. Exhausted.

As of the eve of the music festival, all the liquidity on their hands has been basically spent, and the economy is shaky.

But they still have one last hope. Although Savage failed to make any progress in Gotham, he is a real immortal, and the antiques in his hands are all real.

This era has not yet reached the period of the collapse of the capitalist bubble, and the global economy is stable, so there is still a certain market for antiques. As long as you can sell the antiques you have from auctions at low prices, you can quickly get them back. Big money.

But it is a pity that God was not kind, and Odin's messenger brought justice. After Thor broke away from the rift in space, he passed through a special passage and landed in the center of the headquarters of the Twelve Families.

What's even more coincidental is that thunder is a force that can completely ignore the resistance of physical media as long as it is strong enough. In anger, Thor gave all manors and underground storage rooms a central flower, and the contents inside cannot be said to be intact. , it can only be said that the sound and appearance are vivid.
