Chapter 174 The Knight Returns

Maggieson followed the source of the sound and finally found a person behind the last bookshelf.

The person was tied up and fell to the ground facing the wall with his back to Maggieson.

When he saw the back of the person, Maggieson's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Just because he was too familiar with this back.

Maggieson walked to the vicinity of the person and turned his body over.

Although he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that the person imprisoned in the bell tower by the Riddler would be "him"!

After a simple check, Maggieson confirmed that the person imprisoned here was still alive, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Charlie, the plan has changed, stop the action now!"

Maggieson quickly contacted Charlie, praying in his heart that it was not too late.

------------

On the other side, after Pamela and Barbara got rid of the pursuit of the death knell, they entered the underground passage of Gotham.

Under Pamela's intentional or unintentional guidance, the two women gradually approached Gordon's underground base.

"We are about to enter the Audisburg area."

After turning a corner, Pamela turned to Barbara.

"Why do we have to come to Audisburg?"

Barbara asked puzzledly.

"Aren't you always worried about your father?"

Hearing this, Pamela smiled at her.

"What! Did you find my father?"

Barbara asked in surprise.

"How is he now?"

"I haven't had time to tell you this. The night before the death knell attacked Robinson Park, didn't you and I go to find Director Gordon and Little James separately?"

"On the way to find Little James, I met someone."

Then, Pamela told Barbara about meeting Kaito Kidd.

Of course, she didn't mention Maggieson's name.

"Oh, Pamela, I must thank you for bringing me this good news!"

After listening to Pamela's narration, Barbara hugged her excitedly.

"Hey! Hey! Don't be too excited yet. When you meet your father later, there will be plenty of time for you to reminisce about the past."

Pamela patted Barbara on the back and said helplessly.

"Yeah."

Barbara nodded, and the two separated and continued to move forward.

After a while, the two women finally arrived near Gordon's base.

But they did not go in directly, but found a sewer manhole cover to go to the ground.

After all, the Pamela that Gordon and the others saw was "Fujiko Mine", not her original appearance.

In this way, Pamela could not explain how she knew the location of the underground base.

She knew that Gordon was now sending people to secretly look for Barbara, and as long as they walked around, they would be easily discovered.

As for why the two of them ran to the Audisburg area, it would be no problem to blame it all on the death knell.

Barbara knew Pamela's difficulties, and she was willing to help Pamela do this fake.

So, after about two hours of wandering, the two women were successfully stopped by someone.

The person who came was Blake.

As the youngest, strongest and most bullied member of the police, he was basically the one who could not be avoided in the mission.

At this time, Blake had actually been looking for a day along the direction that Fujiko Mine told them.

But he still couldn't find any trace of Barbara.

Unexpectedly, he ran into her on the way back.

"Barbara! Why are you here?"

Blake asked in confusion at first, then turned his eyes to Pamela.

"And this person is..."

"Pamela, don't worry, she is one of us."

Barbara interrupted.

Blake nodded, he knew that Pamela should be the one who accompanied Barbara to Gotham.

In the current situation in Gotham, being able to risk one's life to accompany each other is enough to show the deep relationship between the two women.

"This is not a safe place, come with me, your father wants to see you now."

Blake looked around and said after confirming that no one noticed them.

"Let's go."

Barbara and Pamela followed Blake and returned to the underground tunnel.

"It's much safer here."

After walking for a while, Blake turned to Barbara and said.

"Barbara, why did you come here? Have you seen Lupin III and his men?"

"And what's the matter with the wound on your arm?"

"Who is Lupin III? I have never seen this person."

Barbara asked in confusion, "Actually, Pamela and I escaped all the way from the old city."

"I met Deathstroke and finally escaped his pursuit."

"Deathstroke?"

Blake was speechless.

As a Gotham native, how could he not know the name of Deathstroke.

He took a deep look at Pamela. This ordinary girl could actually escape from Deathstroke.

This person must be extraordinary!

Although Blake didn't know how capable Barbara was, he believed that no matter how strong Barbara was, she would not be a match for Deathstroke, and it would be difficult for her to escape.

If Pamela was a burden, the two of them would definitely not be able to escape Deathstroke's pursuit.

Since the two women had appeared in front of him safely, it proved that they had escaped Deathstroke's pursuit. There were not many people in the world who could do this.

Blake remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he paid more attention to Pamela.

Soon, they came to the entrance of the base.

Blake was about to knock on the door, and suddenly felt like he was being spied on.

He stopped and looked into the depths of the tunnel behind him, but there was nothing there.

The strange feeling also dissipated.

Blake shook his head, it seemed that he was too sensitive, and continued to knock on the door.

This time, Aaron opened the door for them.

"Oh! It's Barbara, you really found her!"

As soon as the door opened, Aaron saw Barbara and grinned.

"Hey, Jim! Come and see, your baby girl is fine... Well, her arm was injured, what a strong girl."

"Of course, you are even more stupid, stupid!"

After laughing, Aaron scolded Barbara with a stern face.

"Who told you to go back to Gotham? Do you know how dangerous it is here! The situation is already very tense and you are making things more complicated for us!"

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry, Uncle Cash."

Barbara wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and quickly changed the subject.

"Where is my dad?"

"Come with me."

However, just as they walked into the base, the field suddenly fell into darkness.

"What the hell is this situation, the power supply is cut off?"

Aaron cursed.

Barbara and others quickly stood back to back in a circle to deal with various emergencies.

Maybe a few seconds, ten seconds or a minute passed.

The power supply automatically recovered.

The lighting system was turned on again.

Nothing happened.

It was as if it was just a normal trip.

"The circuit used in the underground passage is completely different from the household circuit. This situation should not happen."

According to Aaron's experience, the power supply of the underground passage has not failed for more than five years.

"If someone has tampered with it, his target is probably not us."

Blake proposed a possibility.

"Jim!"

Aaron suddenly realized it, and so did the others.

They quickly ran deep into the base, trying to reach the tunnel where Gordon was.

"Don't worry... I'm fine."

However, before they ran halfway, Gordon staggered over.

"Jim, do you know what happened just now?"

Aaron hurried over to support Gordon.

"He... he's back..."

Gordon said intermittently, while slowly raising his hand to everyone.

He was holding a bat dart in his hand!

And this was not a high-end imitation used by Barbara, but a genuine bat dart!

This meant that the power outage was not accidental, nor was it caused by Bane's men.

Rather, it was a signal that the Dark Knight was returning!
