"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
On the outskirts of Gotham, on the side of a hill that is not shown on any map, under a steep cliff, a carefully camouflaged iron gate is hidden under rocks.
After repeated scanning and verification, Batman walked along the metal bridge inside the gate. The pentagonal arched gate supports the entrance of the Batcave, and the long metal bridge passes through several arches. The shaped gate extends into the mountain.
There are cold light tubes on the inside of the arched door, which illuminate blue light bands one after another on the bridge surface. When Batman passes through the lights under these arches, the cold light flows down his cloak .
After walking through the metal bridge, there is a lifting platform, and when the lifting platform falls to the bottom, you can find that it has not yet been completed.
On the opposite side of the lifting platform is a huge cylindrical space, which is divided into upper and lower floors. At this time, only the bottom floor and half of the second floor have been completed. On the outside of each floor, there is a A corridor extending from the wall, and there are several doors in the corridor.
It is not difficult to see that this tower-like structure seems to be designed by Batman for reference to a building that only exists in dreams. When standing at the bottom of the tower and looking up, the layers of layers A higher floor will bring people an endless sense of oppression.
At this time, this is still a real underground base, and there are no strange collections, but when Batman walked out from the lift platform, came to the corridor on the second floor, and opened one of the doors , Countless monitoring screens appeared in the room.
Every screen there represents every corner of Gotham, but only two-thirds of all the monitoring screens in this room are on, and the rest are black.
This fully proves Gotham people's endless desire to explore and destructive power for novelty. These black screens represent that the camera fixed somewhere is broken.
Batman has been a little busy lately, so he hasn't had time to repair the camera, but even with two-thirds of the screen, it monitors most of Gotham's buildings.
Batman narrowed his eyes and began searching.
Just about ten minutes ago, he received the news from Jason that Dick had been kidnapped, and Batman had to admit that he felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the news.
Batman can also feel that finding a nanny for Aisha is not the whole reason for him to adopt Dick, nor is it because he wants to find an assistant for himself. .
Although Batman doesn't like to study those weird metaphysical theories, when Batman gets along with Dick, he finds that the coldness and alienation when he gets along with normal people as Batman is in his relationship with Dick. It didn't appear in getting along, and they seemed to have an innate understanding.
Before he insisted on sending Dick to boarding school, but something happened in the boarding school, which already made Batman hesitate a bit, but now, when he heard the news of Dick's kidnapping, it had not appeared in his heart for a long time Yes, that flame of anger was rekindled.
Batman squinted his eyes, carefully searching the screen, not missing any details, and soon, his head movement stopped, and his eyes fell on a screen on his right.
For the convenience of searching, the monitoring screens here are also distributed according to the geographical location. The closer to the center, the closer to the city center of Gotham, and the more corners, the more remote the location.
At this time, the picture on the screen he was watching came from a building on the edge of Gotham's East Side, between the third and fourth piers.
Several screens around this screen are black, which proves that the cameras here have been severely damaged, but it is not because the people who live here have any precautions, but because this is the most famous place in Gotham. A gathering place for drug addicts, after those people got high, they would go up and kick everything they saw, so the camera broke down very quickly.
Seeing this position, Batman's fingers suddenly twitched, and his face became a little chilly. Before the bat took off, his deep voice echoed in the empty room, looking a little scary.
"Konstantin..."
The location displayed on the surveillance screen is a club in the East Side, which has been closed for a long time because of the damage to Gotham's surface buildings.
A corner of the house on the surface of the club collapsed, and no one dared to go in, but the only remaining camera in the corner of the house captured a man in a long windbreaker carrying a child into the basement.
When Batman arrived, Dick was lying on the floor of the basement. Batman walked over, and he checked it. There were no injuries on Dick's body, which did not match the blood-stained scene of the kidnapping that Jason described to him. saying, and the motion of him shaking Dick's body woke Dick up.
Dick blinked in confusion. He was relieved to see that the person who appeared was Batman. Batman asked him, "Who kidnapped you?"
"...That Constantine." Dick covered his forehead and frowned and said, "Originally, I was in Jason's underground base, but suddenly, he appeared from the corner, looking like magic .”
"He tried to attack me, but I dodged, you know, I'm not easy to deal with, I took a crowbar and fought him, broke his forehead and scratched his arm ..."
"But in the end, he knocked me out with something like a magic circle..."
Just as Batman was looking at the basement space, the door of the basement rang, and Constantine, who had just returned, walked down the stairs, met Batman's eyes, turned around and ran.
Batman moved faster than him, a few bat darts flew towards Constantine's ears and nailed them on the door, Batman's deep voice came: "One more move, and you're dead. "
Konstantin's figure froze on the stairs, and then he slowly raised his arms, indicating that he did not threaten him and said, "I want to turn around."
Batman didn't answer, Constantine acquiesced that he agreed, so he turned his body very slowly and looked at Batman, before Batman asked him, he said: "Listen to me! I swear I have no malice..."
Before he finished speaking, a fist the size of a sandbag appeared in his field of vision.
Ten minutes later, Batman threw the muddy Constantine on the ground. Constantine screamed in pain, and another bat dart brushed his cheek and nailed him to the ground. He didn't dare to make a sound. Batman asked: "Why kidnap Dick?"
"I'm investigating the case, didn't you ask me to investigate the case?"
Batman stared at Constantine, and Constantine explained: "Didn't I say it before, that Laurenna Sanchez specializes in using children's souls for cultivation, so you know how she extracts children's souls?" Is it?"
Batman looked at him silently, Constantine didn't expect him to answer, but said to himself: "I don't know if you have heard such a legend that on Halloween night, there will be a costumed A beautiful woman who has become a witch, carrying a basket full of candy, and if a child wants to get the candy in her hand, she must call her 'mama'."
"When the child takes the candy and eats it, he is equivalent to completing the deal with the ghost mother."
"Once a child calls the witch 'mother', the witch can tamper with the ownership of the child's soul and become his mother, and then sell the child's soul to the devil in exchange for what she needs..."
Batman suddenly understood what he meant, he looked sideways at Dick and said, "You met this witch?"
Dick froze for a moment, he thought back and said, "No, no, and..."
"Although I haven't been in Gotham for a long time, no matter it's Easter or any other night, if someone walks on the street in strange clothes and someone calls her mom, she will definitely get shot."
"Besides, kids in Gotham can't call other people's mother casually. When I was a smoke boy, only the head of a block could be called 'Mom and Dad'. was beaten to death."
"...Then have you been eating indiscriminately lately?" Batman asked again.
Dick shook his head, suddenly remembered, and said: "I did get a few candies recently, but they were given to me by the little boss there when I went to be a cigarette boy, and I didn't eat any of them." ..."
Batman turned his head to look at Constantine again. Constantine seemed to be unable to make up any more. He gave up struggling and lay flat on the ground. People slowly reduced to a pile of ashes.
At this moment, the alarm on Batman's wrist suddenly rang, and the long, sharp sound told Batman that someone had invaded Wayne Manor.
Looking at the pile of ashes on the ground, Batman said, "Use the same trick twice, you are at least a daring liar, Constantine..."
"Wait!" Dick tried to get up from the ground, he said: "Didn't you say that this thing was called this, that someone had invaded the manor? We have to go back quickly, there are... and ..."
Dick repeated it several times, his tone gradually slowed down, and then became a little aggressive. He and Batman looked at each other and said, "...there is still Aisha in the manor."
When Batman and Dick returned to Wayne Manor, Constantine was lying in the middle of the living room just like that day, and next to him was Aisha who was grinning terrifyingly with her fangs.
Batman walked up to Constantine unhurriedly, and said to him: "The scene is a bit familiar, right?"
I saw Constantine's chest heaving violently on the ground, and then lying on the ground like a deflated balloon, his tone was filled with deep helplessness.
"...There is no normal person in Gotham???"
Batman went up, grabbed his collar with his hands, and dragged him to the basement ~IndoMTL.com~ After handcuffing Constantine, Constantine's first sentence was: "Is there any smoke? ?”
But Batman is not Schiller. His interrogation process is mainly based on physical therapy. He directly crushed Constantine's arm joints with his bare hands. Constantine was panting heavily while screaming. He looked up at Batman and said, "That's great, kid..."
"If before, I wouldn't mind playing with you, but now, I still have business to do..."
Speaking, a ball of light flew out of Constantine's chest, and disappeared into the basement almost instantly. Batman looked at the direction where the ball of light disappeared, which was where he imprisoned Sinestro.
At the same time as Batman walked out of the prison door, Sinestro, who was locked in the next cell, launched a teleportation and disappeared instantly.
Batman walked back to Constantine's cell with a sullen face. He broke Constantine's knee again, but this time. Constantine didn't scream, he lay there, as if he was on drugs, and said in a somewhat illusory tone.
"Thanks to that Professor Schiller, he let me learn a new psychological knowledge, and now it can come in handy..."
Before Batman understood what he meant, Constantine on the ground suddenly turned into a pile of ashes, and a figure slowly stood up from the pile of ashes in the basement club in the East End, Constantine He pulled his tie and said to himself:
"...Is this Gotham? Interesting."
Suddenly a voice sounded:
"Really?"
Constantine's whole body became stiff suddenly, because he felt himself being pressed against his back by a cylindrical object, and he heard the person behind him say:
"So... welcome to Gotham."
