Pixel Maniac in the Comic World

Chapter 164 Black’s Life

Black in the spiritual world frowned slightly.

It wasn't because he heard that he had been selected as a candidate for the Claw that he was in a mood, but because he was slightly confused about the time when the Brain of Cthulhu appeared.

According to the ontology, he came to this world much earlier than Black and White imagined. The real difference was in the tragic childhood period when the two were extremely similar.

Based on the words of the Hand's undercover female assassin Erica and the remaining information seized by the Victory Commandos after they broke into the Hand branch's stronghold, Bai's side showed that the drastic changes within the Hand occurred nearly ten years ago.

But the Court of Owls on my side does not seem to be a mutation that occurred during that time.

It has been verified that Bai's superpower has the ability to suppress the bosses of the original game that appeared in the two worlds. However, Bai's superpower was taken away this year by his uncle Martin Lee's attack on the newly awakened Black Skull.

If that brain had really brainwashed the Court of Owls a long time ago, then the Court of Owls should not have included itself as a candidate for the Talon while the Black Skull was still alive.

As for saying that the Brain of Cthulhu does not have that strong control over the Court of Owls and cannot interfere with its high-level decisions, that is obviously impossible.

Shitun can do it easily, and he can also transmit the idea of ​​spiritual sacrifice to the Hand without wanting to deal with it. Ke Nao's control will only be stronger.

A projection that had never spoken suddenly said, and the voice turned out to be that of a young woman, but she was also wearing a pale mask, so her specific age could not be analyzed.

Superpowers must have existed for a long time, as can be seen from the Black Skull's hateful attitude towards Martin Lee.

The man looked at the other projections, and there seemed to be some sinister smile hidden under the mask: "What do you think?"

Even the claw at the bottom of the Court of Owls can receive such a blessing. Ke Nao is definitely not a hands-off boss like Shiton, but interferes with the decision-making of the Court of Owls in every aspect.

"March, what do you think of Terry Pickles' potential?"

March didn't seem to expect that the question would be thrown back at him by several actual leaders of the Court of Owls. On his drooping face, his eyes widened in fear.

Either the body has lied, or there is some unknown information in it.

"The Scarlet Messenger can only bless one human being at a time. Are you sure you won't use this opportunity to Jason Todd? Wasn't our previous plan to use Jason to infiltrate the Bat Family?"

"I really didn't expect Terry Pickles to survive in that situation. He had a broken leg and three ribs, and was thrown into a garbage dump and infected with bacteria. I thought he was dead at the time, and there was a good chance he could be rescued. It’s a disability.”

The man at the dining table said with interest, and then tapped the table twice with his index finger.

The most obvious thing is that the sharp claw next to him not only obtained a stronger body enhancement than the Dionysian factor in the original plot, but also obtained a physique that relied on absorbing blood to achieve instant healing. Eighty percent of the achievements were due to brain control.

Hei was suddenly eager to give it a try. He suddenly wanted to return to his body and open his eyes right now to feel whether he would be affected by the potential influence of Brain Knife.

"With such qualities, even if he cannot become a claw, he may still be included in our hands again. Having super powers is a big help - I think he can directly summon the Scarlet Messenger to bless Terry Pickles."

Ke Nao's fear of Bai, or the existence of a restrained relationship, is also certain. When Bai controlled his body to reach the underground maze, even Batman claimed that there was some weirdness to the brain after fighting with the claw. The influence, but Bai never noticed.

But the main purpose this time was to see that brain, and Hei had to calm down and wait patiently.

"It's difficult for my subordinates to judge. Since the Gotham headquarters was downgraded to a branch, I have been the only one stationed here all year round, and the efficiency of collecting various types of information has somewhat declined——"

"We are just asking for your opinion, not asking you for a crime. After the headquarters was transferred, we also know that you can't survive alone, so naturally we won't blame you for this."

The man standing by the bed quietly interrupted Madge's apology in advance. Madge seemed to be relieved, and after pondering for a few seconds, he looked back in Terry's direction and slowly spoke.

"The currently known information is: Terry Pickles, whose identity and background is that of an orphan, meets the first recruitment condition, has a relationship with Batman, and meets the second recruitment condition. Except that he is much older than Jason Todd, both The prerequisites are consistent.”

The seven projections all fell silent, quietly listening to what Madge said.

"But after being removed from the Talon list eight years ago, Terry Pickles began to mingle in Gotham City's low-level industries. He once entered the Three Hands underground guild and became a thief, and then quit without any reason. The reason is unknown.

Terry Pickles then spent the last of the stolen money to buy a new social citizen ID from an identity broker, changed his name to Ross Thom, and joined the psychic society for three months before quitting without reason. "

The black head in the spiritual world showed a slightly surprised expression for the first time, but soon became relieved.

As the Court of Owls that appeared at almost the same time as Gotham City, if he can't fully understand all kinds of information about the underground world, then he may have to wonder why this organization in the original plot occupies such a large space in a few years. .

It's just that Hei didn't expect that his old background would be exposed here today.

And March's report continued.

"Two weeks after quitting the psychic society, Terry Pickles still retained the identity of Ross Thom and joined the Absurd Bar as a kitchen helper. The Absurd Bar was owned by Roman Falcone at the time.

On Halloween at the end of the same year, the Roman Falcone was broken into the bedroom by the fledgling Batman and beaten to death. When the incident was published in the Gotham Evening News the next day, Terry Pickles left without saying goodbye in the Ridiculous Bar.

In the following years, Terry Pickles was very happy to hang out with major forces or well-known figures in Gotham City, but each time he would only be a thug at the bottom or simply be inconspicuous somewhere under the name of the force. Work in property areas, and each term can last from one month to five months at most.

Because it is so inconspicuous, and the information changes quite frequently, our informants, including myself, have begun to ignore this person. Therefore, we only include the forces that Terry Pickles has joined as recorded in the information. :

Black Mask, The Clown Gang, The Penguin, Roland Daggett, Josiah..."

Slowly, the fingers tapping the tabletop relying on the projection of the dining table stopped unconsciously.

Because there are as many as thirteen forces that Terry Pickles has joined under his real name or under his alias Ross Thom and has been recorded by the informants of the Court of Owls.

Furthermore, in March's report, phrases such as 'disappeared for several months without any reason' and 'information was accidentally lost due to a certain incident in a certain year' appeared many times.

During these periods of time, Terry Pickles' whereabouts were completely unknown. No matter how powerful the Court of Owls was, it was impossible to pay special attention to a figure who was so unknown in the early years.

What will Terry do in those lost time?

"...After that, Terry Pickles returned to the Iceberg Bar and used the hallucinogenic anesthetic stolen from the St. Peter's Clinic to bring down the key figure responsible for maintaining contact with the Black Mask gang, and guided the successor of Black Mask He told the location of the transaction, arranged a manpower gap between the two gangs, and informed Batman via an anonymous phone call."

"While Batman intervened in the transaction, he used a mechanism placed in the signal tower in advance to detonate the launcher, causing the Penguin to mistakenly think that Batman was coming and fled in a hurry."

"But it was the Penguin's extremely abnormal departure from the place being secretly monitored by Batman that made Batman, who had just broken the deal, mistakenly believe that the Penguin had other intentions, so he really chased him."

"In this short time gap, Terry Pickles drove the stolen police car and chased the Penguin to the scene of revenge that he had carefully prepared for years."

"In thirteen minutes, he cut Oswald into pieces and carved the word 'Initiator' on the back of his left hand."
