Chapter 2463: The Battle for the Cloak (XIX)
"I think there are a few rules that we can summarize." Dick said as he walked: "First, we can't stay in one place for too long in the thick fog, otherwise we will attract those eyes. Although we don't know what will happen after being watched by those eyes, I think it will definitely not be a good thing, so it's best not to stay in the same place for too long."
"Second, the actions we make in the thick fog will still be retained and will not be reset after the thick fog dissipates, so every decision must be made with caution."
"And the space in the thick fog is chaotic, and the image of the door seems to have played a significant role, very It is possible to push open a door and go to another new space, so be careful when opening the door. "
"Finally, different time streams may appear in the fog. Changes to the past may affect the future, but these results can coexist, so before making a decision to modify the past timeline, you must consider what may happen in the future. "
Dick and the Nightwing of the main universe are walking on the streets of Gotham. They believe that even if the Nightwing of the Arkham universe loses his mind for a while and wants to chase the figure in the depths of the fog, he will definitely remember his original purpose and go to the target location to meet up, so even if there is no car, they can walk there.
"Anything else to add?" Dick looked at the Nightwing of the main universe and asked. Nightwing seemed to have just noticed something. He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm thinking about Batman. They all think that Batman should have returned to Gotham after his disappearance. If he is in Gotham at this time, how will he deal with this fog? "
Dick immediately thought of the shocking bloodstains that Red Hood saw in the Capitol. That was Batman's blood, and Batman would not bleed so much for disguise, which means that he is really in bad condition.
How should a seriously injured person move in the thick fog? Will he be caught by those eyes? Or will he fall into an out-of-control trap?
They all began to worry, more concerned about Batman's current situation than themselves, and stopped discussing this issue, and began to think about what Batman and others had encountered.
The other two groups of Robins and the main universe Batman who was now active in Gotham underground also encountered similar things, but the rules on Robin's side were more obvious, while Batman's experience was completely chaotic and chaotic.
The moment the thick fog invaded, Batman put on a gas mask, but the sewer he was exploring continued to extend forward, and Batman remembered that this waterway was obviously not that long.
Whether walking forward or backward, this sewer seemed to have no end at all. There was a door on the fork in the middle, but it could not be pushed open at all. Every time Batman passed by the door, the door would change its appearance, as if there was a different world behind the door.
After walking a few times, Batman found himself in a loop. After walking a distance along the endless waterway, he would return to the starting point, which means he became a hamster in a hamster cage.
Batman naturally discovered that if he stayed too long, he would see eyes on various reflective surfaces, but he was bolder than Robin in that he did not succumb to the fear brought by the eyes, but dragged it until almost the last second, he wanted to see what the eyes were going to do.
Until the last second, Batman found that it was himself who appeared in his vision. He felt that he had become these eyes with many broken visions. He became the thing staring at himself, watching himself running for his life like an ant in an endless cycle.
In countless pasts, presents and futures, his figure appeared in the field of vision, until Batman could no longer bear this huge amount of information, he stopped trying this huge eye.
He regarded this as a mental attack, because once humans saw that the future they often regarded as mysterious and unknowable was clearly visible in the eyes of another creature, every choice they made was manipulated, and the beautiful future they thought they had fought for by strategizing and changing their fate was still just the result of the selection of the superiors, and their hopes and beliefs might collapse in an instant.
Batman didn't because he knew clearly that it was actually the same in daily life, but it was not so intuitive. Humans are always good at deceiving themselves. Batman has realized the truth of the world more than others and understands his own destiny more clearly, so he is still shocked, but not afraid.
Robin King is not like this. If you have to use a word to describe his mental state all the time, it is "protagonist".
He has always believed that he is and has always been the master of his own destiny. Thomas and Martha have always disciplined him and prevented him from exploring the world by his own means, including but not limited to killing animals and doing some small dismantling and destruction.
But they don't have such power. Robin King has always believed that he is free and noble. Those things that died and were destroyed for him are just the price he should pay on his exploration. It is their honor to bear death and destruction.
The same was true for Thomas and Martha. After becoming tired of his parents' discipline, Robin King planned a murder and shot his parents in the alley on the way out of the movie theater.
After the police arrived, he put on a perfect disguise and acted out all the emotions a child who was devastated by the murder of his parents could show, and in this way he became the innocent victim and finally got what he wanted. everything.
Then he began to massacre all the superheroes in his universe, just as he did in this universe. Those superheroes were vulnerable to the props he had built using the savings of the Wayne Group. The whole process was even boring to him. Boring.
Until one day a madman came. He had a pale face and a big mouth that almost occupied his entire face. He described the source of the void of the universe to King Robin and invited him to join his team.
King Robin was full of surprise and hope, but the first blow he suffered was when he discovered that this madman was transforming Robins in various universes in batches.
He threw them into a chemical pool, making them pale and rickety, like crypt creatures. The modified Robin had no self-awareness, and King Robin could not accept this.
So he created a small pill. As long as he swallowed the pill, he could still maintain his consciousness after being transformed. But unfortunately, the madman did it too quickly, and King Robin was thrown into the river before he could swallow the pill. In the chemical pool.
In a rage, King Robin spit the pill directly into the chemical pool, which would allow all Robins to retain a certain degree of self-awareness. The madman just watched all this indifferently and told him what he had done. It's all wasted effort.
This was the little friction they had before. There is no doubt that Robin King was completely defeated. He still had to be ordered by this madman to travel to one universe after another to collect more information about Batman for him.
This is also the reason why Robin King chose the Arkham Knight universe. The guy who calls himself the Laughing Bat said that he is a combination of Batman and the Joker, so he will find another combination and ask him for his secret. Naturally You can find the weakness of laughter.
But unfortunately, Batman's plan for the Arkham Knight universe did not go smoothly, and that was not the only thing that went wrong. The Robin King just experienced his most terrifying nightmare ever.
When the thick fog came over, King Robin was well prepared, but he didn't take out the gas mask because he thought he was afraid of the mastermind behind it. He didn't care what the nature of the fog was, he had to fight head-on.
When he opened the office door, he found that he was back at home in Wayne Manor. Everything was as normal as usual, and it was extremely boring.
The only difference is that Thomas and Martha, who now appear in the manor, no longer seem to pursue a comprehensive elite education. They prefer achievement supremacy.
Thomas and Martha always say study, study, study. If you don’t study, you will be disloyal to your parents’ efforts. If you don’t study, you will betray the Wayne family’s ancestors who have laid such a great foundation. If you don’t achieve good results, If you can't achieve better results than everyone else, then you don't deserve anyone's attention.
King Robin didn't feel anything about this at first, because he had always been the first in the class, and learning itself was not difficult for him. It could be said that it took no effort at all.
Since the man behind the scenes wants to play this trick, King Robin will naturally let him see what a true genius is.
So on the first day of school, King Robin got back all the perfect score papers, but Thomas and Martha just said lightly that although you got perfect scores, there must be other perfect scores in the school, and you were just Did what I should do.
King Robin was a little angry, but that was indeed the case. After all, he was still in elementary school. It was too easy to get a perfect score on the test paper in elementary school. Of course, he was not the only one in the school who got a perfect score.
So in the next few days, he poisoned the school's drinking fountains, causing most of the good students to have diarrhea during the exam, and he was the only one who got full marks.
As a result, Thomas and Martha told him that this was just his luck. Although others did not perform well in the exam, they still had knowledge in their stomachs and would definitely surpass him next time.
How could King Robin be convinced? In the following time, they got full marks in every exam and became the veritable number one in their grade. However, the comparison targets were drawn to all primary schools in the community.
In addition to test scores, he needs to get up three hours early to learn musical instruments, study dance, etiquette, and social interaction after school, and study junior high school, high school, and university knowledge on his own in advance.
Learning itself is actually not difficult for King Robin at all. He can handle all courses with ease, and can even achieve much better results than expected.
What can be called a nightmare is always the attitude of Thomas and Martha, because no matter what achievements Robin King has achieved, he will never get even a passable comment. All he can get is "it's just a fluke" and " You have to do better next time.”
