Chapter 62 Little Penguin
Dark clouds hung in the sky over Gotham, and drizzles poured down from the sky. The lights on the street are hazy and soft against the rain, casting a blurry halo on the street.
Gotham on a rainy night feels extra heavy than usual, like giants in the dark, quietly gathering in every corner of the city. The outlines of high-rise buildings were blurred in the rain, and only a few lights barely shined through the windows. The stairs at the street corners and the walls in the alleys are covered with dying neon signs, and the weak colored lights bring a dark color to the rainy night.
Oswald Cobblepot was a round, squat fellow. He was born with a deformity and looked like a penguin, so he was called "Penguin".
In the future, he will become Batman's main villain. After the major heroes of Gotham have fallen in the "pre-Batman era", he will become the new underground emperor of Gotham in the "post-Batman era".
But unlike a madman like the Joker who purely brings killing and chaos, the Penguin, although he is also an underworld leader who does all evil, has also undisputedly brought order to Gotham. He even collaborated with Batman in some incidents against crazier criminals.
Of course that's for the future. The emperor of the old era has not yet fallen, and the penguins have not yet risen. In this era, Cobot was just a pawn under Maroni. After years of hard work, he managed to get to the position of a small casino boss.
At night, Cobot was sitting with his legs crossed in the casino office, smoking a cigar and blowing smoke rings, as happy as a god. Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound from the skylight, and Batman unfolded his cloak and fell from the sky, landing directly on his desk.
"What are you doing?"
Cobot was shocked and hurriedly tried to take out his gun to fight back. But Batman slapped away his gun and roughly lifted him out of the chair.
"There's a new player in Gotham." Batman shouted in a deep voice, "A killer, codenamed 'Deathshooter'. He was here earlier. What did you say?"
Although this year's master is a newcomer, his fan base is still a newcomer. The rookie Copot, who was dealing with Batman for the first time, was so frightened that his legs almost went weak. He stammered: "Mr. Bat., I don't Know what you're talking about."
"Do not lie to me."
Batman said, slamming him to the ground, causing his whole body to break.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed immediately by a woman's voice.
"Honey, are you there?"
"I'm coming~"
Immediately there was the sound of the door being pushed open.
What appeared from behind the door was a hot woman with blond hair and long legs. She walked in with her waist twisted in a hip-covering skirt that was so short that it could be used as a belt.
Cobot quickly looked back and found that Batman, who was originally on the table, had disappeared like a ghost.
He's still here!
For some reason, Cobot had such a strong premonition in his heart.
That bat monster is still in this room!
The woman coiled up like a water snake, and Cobot suddenly had his hair exploded like a frightened cat and hurried away.
The blonde looked strange.
"Honey, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm inconvenient today, Maggie." Cobot stammered, "Why don't we just forget it today?"
"ah."
The blonde glanced at his lower body and immediately showed sympathy.
"Sorry, I didn't even notice. What a pitiful little guy. Oops! Why were you injured? Did you fight with someone?"
She reached out and touched the bloody mark on Cobot's forehead.
Cobot quickly avoided it and hesitated: "It's okay. I'm fine."
"That's right." Maggie smiled, "With your methods, the person who dares to hit you must have gone to Gotham Harbor to feed the fish by now."
Cobot was startled, as if he felt the cold sight of an old silver coin bat coming from nowhere in the darkness. He quickly covered Maggie's mouth: "Don't talk nonsense! I am a serious businessman. I would never dare to do things like murder and arson, destroying corpses and destroying traces, sinking into Gotham Harbor and pouring cement piles." "
"ha?"
Maggie was confused and looked at him like he was a fool.
WTF?
Law-abiding citizen Penguin?
Give me a break. Our president also said that he loves peace.
The dark shadow appeared silently.
Snapped.
A clean and sharp hand strike. Maggie's vision went dark and she immediately fell down.
Batman stood silently behind her.
Cobot faced Batman's cold gaze and shrank his neck.
"I remember. It seems that there is such a thing. Because you ruined the boss's good things over and over again, the boss hired a professional killer from other places to deal with you. The address I arranged for him is XXX."
Batman got the information he needed and didn't stop any longer. He just raised his grappling gun and fired a shot at the broken skylight.
Before leaving, he turned to look at Cobot.
"I'll see you again in the future."
After saying that, he flew out.
"Damn bat!"
Cobot muttered. Turning his head to look at the unconscious Maggie, he felt angry for a moment and squeezed her twice to vent her anger.
Maggie was pinched until she woke up slowly.
"Eh? What am I doing! It hurts!"
Maggie tilted her head and pressed her neck blankly.
"Why is my neck crooked?"
"You must have a stiff neck." Cobot said casually.
She was stunned for a moment: "Did we...were attacked just now?"
"No, absolutely impossible."
Cobot groaned, not wanting to mention that shameful thing.
"What is my identity? Does anyone dare to attack me in this place?"
Maggie said strangely: "Then why did your skylight break?"
".Cool." Cobot gritted his teeth.
Maggie looked at the rain pouring into the room from the broken window and hitting the desk, and her expression became even stranger.
The expression on Penguin's face is like asking, is there such a cool thing?
Cobot continued to grit his teeth: "This is romance!"
Maggie suddenly realized and showed a shy smile: "My dear, you are really good at it"
boom! ! !
With a bang, an entire wall was blasted open from the outside. Bricks and stones rolled down, and the impact was accompanied by dust flying away. Maggie screamed and hid behind Cobot.
Cobot was furious: "This is my territory! Who dares to mess with me here?"
Then he saw red and silver armor passing through the smoke screen, walking slowly with a mechanical sound, and a blue light flashing on his chest.
Cobot's eyes widened instantly.
Wait a minute, could this be the one that has been going viral in the online media recently?
The scene of the Giant of Light pushing the tsunami with his bare hands went through his mind quickly.
Cobot took a deep breath, and at the same time, the anger immediately disappeared from his face, replaced by a smile that was even more enthusiastic than when he greeted his biological father.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?"
Shen You didn't talk nonsense. He turned his palm and the light from his palm projected the title of the post in Gotham's underground forum.
"Ah, this matter?" Cobot remembered, "This is indeed one of my men. That was David. I also asked him about this matter, but he did seem to be drunk at the time and couldn't remember clearly. "
"I just need an address." Shen You interrupted.
"Oh, the address." Cobot said, "It's on the corner of Nineteenth Street. They were coming out of the bar and heading back to the casino. That's where they met the woman."
"OK, thanks."
Shen You marked the address, thanked him politely, and then lit the fire and took off into the air. There was a bang on the roof and another hole appeared.
Rainwater fell from the hole in a gush, causing water to splash everywhere.
Cobot and Maggie looked at each other, speechless for a moment.
