"Father, you are here."

Schiller stood up from his seat, went up to meet him, shook hands with the old priest. The old priest looked up and looked at the theater. He said with emotion: "I haven't been here for a long time, and I didn't expect that someone would invite me to come here now."

As he said that, he followed Schiller to the first row of seats closest to the stage. There was another person who entered the seat earlier, that was the godfather Falcone, who was sitting in the innermost part.

He just turned his head to look at the priest and said, "Do you remember? In our era, the lights were bright, and my favorite opera at that time was "The Lady of Camellia".

"My favorite is St. Louis. At that time, both dramas were popular. There were all over the place and there was no ticket to buy."

The three of them sat in the empty old theater. On the dilapidated stage, the thick dust turned the curtain into a dark red color. The golden thread on it had lost its shining luster. Most of the light bulbs on the edge of the stage were no longer lit.

"But I still prefer the show today. What do we want to call it?" Schiller turned to look at the two of them. Falcone was holding a cigar, and the flames flashed. He spat out a sip of smoke and said, "How about "Easter"?"

"I think it's more appropriate to call it "The Joker Returns"."

"Why? Clown? Are you talking about the kind in the circus? There are indeed circuses in the Gotham Grand Courthouse, but that's a long time ago."

Schiller shook his head and did not answer.

He said: "I invite you two to come here to hear your story."

Falcone sighed, and the old godfather said, "Let Daniel explain it to you."

Falcone and Schiller looked at the old priest sitting in the middle.

The old priest said with a smile: "I used to be a member of the Owl Court, but that was a long time ago."

The old priest Daniel's voice was filled with a hint of nostalgia. He said, "I said it before, when I came to this land, it was full of vitality, and I was kind to others, so I had some reputation among the gangsters, and many people were willing to sell me aside."

"At this time, the little birds came to me, and they were far from as powerful as they are today. They told me that I would share the secret of eternal life with me. I was very interested and joined them."

The old priest leaned his back on the back of the chair. He looked up slightly and looked up at the top of the stage. The moonlight from the windows was particularly bright, and his voice passed through the falling moonlight and spread far away.

"At that time, they didn't have these killers, just a gathering of powerful people, but later, they discovered something very special in Gotham."

“It’s ‘good wine’, right?”

"Yes, they found that under Gotham, there was a mysterious source of water, which smelled like wine, and those who smelled it, had their wounds healed and even became younger."

"What a wonderful word for immortality and immortality, no one can reject such temptation, so the Owl Court launched a plan only to discover and break the secrets of this water source, and to use it, and then obtain true immortality."

“It’s called, the Water Plan.”

"But at that time, the plan did not go smoothly, and people who took the risk of drinking this liquid went crazy. In the end, they had no choice but to crack it from a religious perspective, so they came to me."

"I knew from the beginning that they just wanted to use me, but that's OK, I wanted to use them too."

The old priest drew a cross on his chest and said, "At that time, I felt that I would follow the will of the Lord and let His glory save this land. If I could not do it in ordinary ways, then I could change the method, and the Lord would forgive me."

"They used the European nobles to build a church for me, right on the ground of the water source, and then the Owl Court killed them."

"The manor you live in now is what they stayed."

"So they didn't move away, but were killed?"

"Yes, the Owl Court lied that they had left, but in fact, those who were not involved in the construction of the church could leave here alive, and the Owl Court would not put any risk of exposing the secret of immortality."

"So, I lived in the church, guarded there, watching the Gotham people come and go, and generations die."

"You never have the point of your speech." Falcone shot a cigar and said, "This is not a sermon in the church."

"Don't say that, Godfather, today is Easter, let's be a little patient with it." Schiller made a gesture of continuing, and the old priest nodded at him with a smile.

"Later, I cracked some of the secrets of fine wine and used it to gain special abilities."

“So, when I first went to church, you discovered that I was different?”

The old priest shook his head and said, "Actually, my ability is not as powerful as you think. Maybe it was okay in the past, but now, I am old. If I were not in the church and not standing above the wine pool, I would be an old ordinary person."

"But that was true at that time. When you first came to the church, I saw something unique in my slightly drunken state, so I advised Falcone to ask him to ask you to solve his son's problem."

Schiller narrowed his eyes and looked at the stage. In his sight, the old curtain slowly opened. The old priest stood in the center of the stage, behind which was the crucifix of the cathedral, and the soles of his feet were a pool of wine.

He stood in the middle of the church, and the wine drifted in the air made him feel slightly drunk. In the hazy sight of the old godfather, Schiller walked in, just as he merged with the falling sunset.

The golden sun's light burned the eyes. After the light disappeared, Schiller left a shadow of the sun behind, but it was just the deepest black after the sunset.

Schiller smiled and lowered his head and said, "Actually, I have always been a little surprised. How could Lord Falco ask me, a dangerous person, to be your son's tutor? After all, no one will want me to contact their descendants when seeing my resume."

You looked up and saw that the meteor seed was so beautiful

"You mean you are pursuing serial murderers? Even without Daniel's recommendation, I don't care about this kind of thing. This is common in Gotham. There are all kinds of crazy people here. I would rather be crazy than stupid people."

"Let's talk about Evans. To be honest, when he came to me, I was a little worried about him because I could clearly feel that something was wrong with him."

Gu Yan

Falcone sighed and said, "I think you should see that he has two personalities."

"To be honest," Schiller looked at Father Daniel, and said, "Before this, before Evans came to me, I had no idea that he had a second personality in his body. How did you do it?"

"Because at that time, Alberto was indeed dead, only Evans, of course you would not feel anything. The personality you felt later was Alberto after the resurrection."

""Do you think Alberto is the first personality?" As soon as the godfather asked this, he replied by himself: "No, Evans is indeed the first personality, he is my son."

The godfather sighed again. He felt that he had sighed too many times recently, but he still said: "When Evans was 6 years old, his mother passed away. I was immersed in the grief of losing my lover and neglected to take care of him."

"One night, he ran out to play by himself, and after he came back, he was no longer him."

“…it was done by the Owl Court?”

"How do you think the Owl Court has developed into what it is today?" Falcone asked back: "Does their cult theory alone? Not everyone is taking that one."

"This is how they lure offspring from some upper class people, wash away their personality, wipe away their memories, and then build a more extreme personality that will eventually surrender to them."

"That's Alberto?"

"Yes, my child disappeared and became the minions of an owl, but I am different from those ignorant idiots. I will not mistake this change for the rebellious period of a child."

"This is their common method. No parent will suspect that their children have been replaced. They will only think that the changes in their children are due to age."

The Owl Court had one of the biggest loopholes, Falcone took another sip of the cigar and said: "They created a perfect personality, a perfect candidate to be a godfather."

"I can understand what they want to do. They have prepared me a perfect heir. As long as he takes over the Godfather's position, Falcone and the Twelve families will be their own. They are very confident that Alberto will satisfy me."

"But it was this that made me feel extremely suspicious, because before that, Evans was more like his mom than me."

"It sounds a bit ridiculous, right?" The godfather moved his fingers and said, "At that time, I thought I was crazy, and I actually suspected that my biological son had been replaced..."

"I finally felt desperate when he held my knife up and stabbed me."

"I was in great pain, but I couldn't find evidence. From a scientific point of view, I could not explain this, so I could only turn to faith."

Then, the voice of Father Daniel rang: "When Carmaine came to the church, I saw a lost father. When he told me these pains, I didn't think it was a joke."

Daniel sighed, feeling a little guilty in his tone, saying: "The way to clean memory and replace personality comes from the water source underground in the church. That is the method I found. In order to achieve my purpose, I handed this method to the court."

"But after seeing Carmine, I knew. I was very wrong."

"Those so-called words that join the court in order to spread the glory of the Lord are just excuses for me to be tempted by eternal life."

"When a desperate father stood before me..." Daniel's voice began to tremble, and he said, "The Father saw his son being crucified and blood flowing all over the ground, and I became an accomplice, Judas with a purse in his hand..."

"I know, I can't continue like this anymore, I have to stop it."

"So you washed away Alberto's personality in the same way and regained Evans' personality?"

"There is another use for fine wine, that is, resurrection. I did not regain Evans' personality, but resurrected him."

"so……"

"Alberto is also resurrected."

"Remember the water source plan I mentioned before?" Father Daniel turned to look at Schiller, saying, "This plan is more than that."

"Over the years, the Owl Court has used the method of contaminating drinking water or rainwater to cause very thin wine to flow in many people's blood."

“The heavy rains a few days ago woke them up.”

"Why did they choose to start the water source program at this time? Although some people were indeed crazy in that heavy rain, the number was far from enough to shake the city."

"They must have other plans."

"There is another question, what happened to that funeral? If it were just a replacement for personality, there was no need to be so powerful, right?"

"That was the idea I gave him. I knew the Owl Court very well and knew how they controlled the city. They had a special metal in their hands that could resist the effect of fine wine." said Father Daniel.

"I suggest that Carmain tamper with some tact on their transportation of raw materials, so that the goods cannot arrive on time, so many people do not get effective umbrellas."

"Did you want to cheat on the court?"

"No, we know that the falsification of a brother's identity can only be hidden from ordinary people, but not from the Owl Court."

"I'm just warning them." Carmain said, holding the cigar. "I know their tricks and are not afraid of killing people. If they must press on each step, then we will be dead."

"If they dare to touch my son again, I will turn Gotham into an empty city."
