Chapter 21 Everything is according to plan!
After Dr. Hugo came out of Arkham Asylum, he went straight to the Court of Owls.
As mentioned earlier, the Court of Owls is a group of wealthy and powerful elites in Gotham who claim to be the invisible rulers of Gotham.
Therefore, this group of powerful people will not choose ordinary villas or clubs for gatherings. They must be unique to show their specialness.
Maybe this is a quirk of rich people.
The meeting place of the Court of Owls was chosen in a sewer, and the entrance was in an ordinary clock shop.
Perhaps only the humble owl logo on the door of the clock shop can prove that this place belongs to it.
After a series of identity verifications, Dr. Hugo finally followed the secret passage of the clock shop and entered the sewer.
The sewer here is not connected to other sewers in Gotham City. It is completely independent and is an abandoned section left behind by a certain municipal renovation project.
There is no peculiar smell in the sewer. Instead, because it has been transformed by the Court of Owls, the interior decoration is very exquisite and simple. Combined with the yellow lights on both sides of the passage, people can feel at first glance that this is a secret gathering with a long history.
Dr. Hugo continued to move forward and finally arrived at his destination - the Court of Owls, the Headquarters of Gotham!
An oval-shaped long western dining table, multiple high-backed chairs surrounding the dining table, and warm yellow light make up everything in the cave.
At this time, the long western dining table was already full of people, and all of them wore owl eye masks on their faces, covering their own faces. Dr. Hugo could only see their deep eyes hidden under the masks.
Dr. Hugo is the only person in the entire cave who is not wearing a mask.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start the meeting." The woman sitting at the end of the long table said, "Dr. Hugo, please take a seat."
Dr. Hugo, as usual, sat on the last empty chair.
This also means that Dr. Hugo has the lowest status among the members of the Court of Owls.
In fact, if they weren't optimistic about Dr. Hugo's human experiments, I'm afraid Dr. Hugo wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Court of Owls!
"Let's talk about the recent events in Gotham. You all know that a perverted killer named Kadda Jhin appeared out of nowhere, and the Maroni gang suffered heavy losses. What do you think should be done about Kadda Jhin..."
It's still the same process as every meeting, but the difference is that this time the topic of discussion is Kadar Jhin.
Dr. Hugo listened to this group of so-called powerful people quarreling at the table over Kada Jin, and he secretly laughed in his heart.
Don't say that he has no right to speak now. Even if he has the right to speak, he has nothing to say.
If he had to express his opinion, he could only say one sentence to everyone present.
"Everyone here is rubbish. Just wait to die!"
As a person who has experienced this, he is the only one left alive under Kadar Jhin, and he has a strong say in this matter.
Not to mention Li Wei, even now I can destroy this group of so-called powerful people in mortal bodies at any time.
While Dr. Hugo listened to their argument, he followed Levi's prior instructions and stuffed a small piece of paper into the corner under the long table.
This scrap of paper had an invisible lotus attached to it by Li Wei.
This is one of Kadar Jhin's abilities - Overwhelm the Crowd.
In addition to being able to explode, the invisible lotus can also provide Levi with nearby vision.
The reason why it is stuffed into the corner of the long table is to prevent some unlucky person from accidentally touching it and causing an explosion.
From now on, all developments in the Court of Owls are under Levi's control!
…
Some members feel that Kadar Jhin can be recruited into the Court of Owls, and his power will become a sharp blade in the hands of the Court of Owls.
However, some other members believed that Kadar Jhin was too powerful and had an uncontrollable personality, and suggested that he be eliminated as a factor of instability.
The members of the Court of Owls debated for a long time, but in the end there was no resolution. In the end, the number of supporters of both sides was completely evenly divided.
Finally, the woman who had presided over the meeting interrupted the argument.
"Since everyone has different opinions, we will wait until Kadar Jhin is captured and then hold a meeting here to decide how to deal with him."
Hearing what the woman said, Dr. Hugo secretly curled his lips in disdain.
Totally impossible! Just you guys? Want to catch Kadar Jhin?
However, although Dr. Hugo was disdainful, he did not cause too much trouble and completely followed Li Wei's plan.
In the next step, it’s time for Dr. Hugo to report on the progress of the experiment.
Although Indian Hill has always been in the name of the Wayne Group, in fact, the Indian Hill Hospital project was stopped long ago by Thomas Wayne, the previous president of the Wayne Group, and all funds came from the Court of Owls.
According to Dr. Hugo's report, the progress of the experiment is still without substantial progress.
Everyone in the Court of Owls has long been accustomed to this. They do not blame Dr. Hugo and will still fund his next phase of research.
But after reporting on the progress of the research, the woman headed by the Court of Owls continued to ask.
"Dr. Hugo, I heard that Arkham Hospital has taken over City Hall's criminal medical business again?"
Dr. Hugo was shocked. As the dean said, the Court of Owls would soon find out.
However, he didn't show any panic on his face, and explained according to Li Wei's plan with him in advance.
"Yes, there are not enough experimental subjects recently. The next stage of experiments requires a large number of experimental subjects, and the physical fitness of criminals is far more suitable as experimental materials than those drug addicts caught from the streets..."
The first woman waved her hand and interrupted Dr. Hugo's words. She didn't care about it at all.
Anyway, Dr. Hugo is just a scientific researcher and is completely under control. Her purpose is just to beat Dr. Hugo.
"Okay, I understand, no problem. Gotham's prison will send criminals to you from time to time. You just need to do your research, but don't forget..."
At this point, the woman stared into Dr. Hugo's eyes.
"Beware of the Court of Owls, which will monitor your travels at all times;
Peeping at Gotham City from the dark, hidden in the attic with low walls;
He is with you when you are at home, and when you are lying on your bed, He is with you;
Never mention his name, for the claws will hunt for your head."
A ballad circulating in the darkness of Gotham has completely explained the horror of the Court of Owls.
In Gotham, there is nothing that the owl does not know, and the claws are always watching everyone in the dark.
'But you just don't know who Kadar Jhin is.'
Dr. Hugo smiled secretly in his heart, everything was according to Li Wei's plan, but his expression showed no flaws and he nodded respectfully.
"I understand, ma'am."
Just like usual.
