Chapter 51 Moon 51
After the young man completely disappeared into the void, Batman withdrew his gaze, only to feel a slight dizziness belatedly.
It was as if he had just experienced a long free fall, and his internal organs were aching, so that his mind went blank for a moment.
--traveller.
He only appeared for a few minutes before disappearing without a trace.
And in just a few minutes, he easily destroyed Moon's Horror, the monster that turned Gotham upside down.
This is a real dimensionality reduction blow.
And even though he has reached such an incredible level, he still calmly told Batman that his power is not complete.
And the kind of laziness, plainness, casualness and simplicity in all his behaviors that he showed can give people a very strong feeling——
In his eyes, all of this seemed to be nothing worth caring about.
For him, there is no difference between weak and strong.
Monsters, old days, humans, no difference.
At this moment, among the pile of people who were cut from the monster by the traveler and lying on the ground, a person slowly sat up.
He squinted his eyes and rubbed his fluorescent green hair, his pale face showed a sleepy look of just waking up: "Oh, I seem to have a dream."
Batman: "...The Joker."
The clown was actually integrated into that monster's body.
But from this point of view, those who were cut off by the traveler should still be alive.
"Glad to see you're still alive, Batman." The Joker looked at Batman with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, "But, it's a pity, isn't it, we almost merged into one."
Gordon had arrived here with the police officers at this time, and he just heard the clown's words, and suddenly showed a slightly disgusted expression.
"This is too strange." The clown didn't seem to have any intention of causing trouble, but just sat among a bunch of unconscious people who looked like a pile of corpses, bent his knees and stepped on them, with a rare dazed look on his face, "Being part of a huge whole, I thought we could get bigger..."
There was a strange light flowing in his eyes, and the smile on his face gradually became crazy: "I have never experienced such a fun thing before!"
"Okay, that's enough!" Gordon has countless things to worry about at the moment, and he doesn't want to listen to the clown's crazy words at all, so he said to the police officers around him: "We have to see if there are any other people alive !"
"Oh, they're all alive, Jim, they're all alive and well," said the clown, grinning, "They're my fellow countrymen now, they've been united once, like in a warm, wet womb, you know Conjoined twins, hahahahaha, I can still vaguely feel their heartbeats, oh, heartbeats without passion. Although they are alive, they seem to be no different from dead. My brothers are really Very boring."
"Hold your head and squat down immediately!" Gordon took out his gun with great vigilance, aiming the gun at the clown.
"Oh, take it easy!" The clown raised his hand, but his eyes kept sticking to Batman, and the smile on his face became more and more crazy: "I know you came here to see Alcone, oh, lucky Falcone, he was chosen, and you never came to see me, little bat..."
Batman looked at him silently.
The clown was quickly put on handcuffs and harnesses, and was kept under watch, but he was still laughing wildly, and said to Batman: "But it's okay hahahaha, you will come. You will come back, I'm waiting for you, hahaha, I'm waiting for you...don't make me wait too long, dear!"
His laughter was like a long-lasting curse surrounding Arkham, casting a cloud over the hearts of everyone present.
Batman watched him being imprisoned in the temporary enclosure, and sighed silently.
He asked Gordon beside him, "How is the current situation?"
Gordon lit a cigar, and said in a helpless tone, "The best news is that the blood moon seems to have only affected the Arkham region and has not spread."
"And the worst news?" Batman continued.
"Several people who witnessed the monster just fell into a state of madness and showed a strong aggressiveness. Although they have been controlled now, I don't know if they can regain their sobriety." Gordon said, "Besides There were no other casualties."
After a pause, he asked seriously, "That person just now..."
Batman looked at him: "It's from the church."
"I know." Gordon said, with some fear in his tone: "I summoned him."
A little astonishment flashed in Batman's eyes when he looked at him: "Did you pray to that Outer God?"
Gordon nodded helplessly: "Otherwise, I have no other choice. I can't get in touch with people from the church at all."
——He is right, Batman knows very well that it is basically impossible for ordinary humans to solve the situation just now, and even Superman may not be reliable. The attack on pollution is not very good, the only way is to find someone on the magic side to solve the trouble.
But the people on the magic side are not immediately contactable if they want to.
The only thing that can be called at any time is really only the church.
"It's horrible," Gordon said. "I didn't expect to conjure such a powerful...creature. It's crazy."
"Are you okay?" Batman asked.
He looked at Gordon carefully. Gordon felt as if he had been taken by an X-ray, and he felt a little uncomfortable all over. He quickly said, "I'm fine, but I was a little dizzy when I first saw him. It's fully recovered now."
After a pause, he said with some emotion: "Although I always felt that praying to God and worshiping Buddha would not solve the problem, but... I have to say that I have been somewhat affected by the trend of thought of the Secret Star Church this time."
The Eye of the Secret Star solves a problem that they have absolutely no possibility of solving.
And it came so timely.
Just... How should I put it, it's a bit too reliable, so reliable that people can't help but want to rely on Him.
Gordon suddenly understood those crazy believers a little bit.
As long as the self-discipline ability is weaker, I am afraid that it has become a waste that can do nothing without the gods...
"So, you summoned the traveler...but you didn't receive any pollution, and you didn't pay any price?" Batman said with a frown.
Gordon was slightly taken aback.
Yes.
What is the cost?
Why did the Eye of the Secret Star not charge him any price at all?
Or... the price has actually been paid, but he just doesn't know it yet?
"Yes, I don't know what's going on." Gordon was a little helpless, "I'm actually ready to pay the price, but...he just came and left just like that. He called ' Traveler'? That's an apt name."
"...If you have any discomfort or abnormality, please let me know." Batman said in a deep voice after a moment of silence.
"Are you leaving?" Gordon knew what he was going to do next as soon as he heard Batman's tone.
"I have to go to the church." Batman said, the words the traveler told him just now came to his mind, "I'll leave this to you first."
……
The accident happened very quickly, and everyone was caught off guard, but the incident was resolved at a faster speed, and the root cause of the turmoil in Gotham during this period was almost eliminated.
The only adverse effect was that a building collapsed in Arkham, and some new people who went crazy after witnessing the terror of the moon were added, resulting in an urgent shortage of wards.
Fortunately, there are a lot of vacant land and idle buildings in the historic Arkham, which can be temporarily used as wards and prison cells to house some patients and criminals who have nowhere to go.
And because the city hall had just received a sky-high sum of money, the support came very quickly.
According to the construction workers, supporting doctors and police who rushed to the scene in time, all the people involved in the emergency support received ten times the salary compensation and additional policy benefits.
"To put it bluntly, I can't wait for this kind of emergency rescue to happen a few more times. I can do it until he goes bankrupt." One of the construction workers carrying temporary building assembly parts smiled and said to the reporters who rushed to the scene, " You asked about the specific circumstances of the accident? I don’t know too well, I heard that it was an explosion caused by aging pipelines.”
"This time the city hall also invited some of the most famous architects in Gotham City, trying to build a prefabricated temporary shelter hospital in Arkham in the shortest possible time. The criticized mental hospital has finally achieved the fastest and most complete emergency disaster response in history under the influence of sufficient funds and strong policy support!"
While talking to the camera, the reporter turned sideways and pointed at the truckloads of construction materials pulled into Arkham, and said excitedly: "All this is thanks to the church and the Wayne Group for their great donations to the city hall! Gotham must be It will get better and better!"
At this time, a worker carrying building materials passed by. When he found that the camera was pointing at him, he raised his arms excitedly: "May the eyes of the secret star stare at Gotham!!"
A hundred calls.
The other workers around also began to shout, judging by their excitement, they don't know if they are all fanatics, or because they are happy that they can get a large salary.
"We found Chief Gordon of the Gotham Police Department. Hello, Chief Gordon! Can I be interviewed?"
The camera showed Gordon, who was in a state of anxiety about arranging work. Gordon raised his head and looked at the camera. He sorted out his expression at the speed of light, and after managing his emotions, he said seriously: "Uh, okay, okay, but I don't have much time. ,You know--"
"I heard that this accident almost caused a large number of casualties, and it was because of the protection of the secret star that everyone was saved. Is this the truth?" the reporter asked very quickly.
In fact, she didn't know if it was the person saved by the Mystic Star Church, but now as long as the program has some church-related elements, the ratings will rise.
So the higher-ups issued a task, no matter what, the topic of the interview was directed to the Secret Star Church for me!
I believe Lord God will be pleased by this!
"Uh, this...Although I don't know where you heard this statement, but..." Gordon hesitated for a while, then said, "The truth of the matter...is almost what you said, the Secret Star Church does provide vital help."
"Viewers and friends in front of the TV!" The reporter who had mastered the secret of traffic immediately said excitedly to the camera, "Another great apparition! God bless Gotham!!"
The comments on the Internet have exploded at the moment.
"A city of superheroes and gods!"
"I see a bright future!"
"May the eye of the secret star behold us! May the eye of the secret star behold Gotham!"
Gordon hesitated to speak.
...Although it is not recommended that you blindly believe in the Eye of the Secret Star, he really has no way to refute it!
……
the other side.
Batman walked down the long corridor and stood before the door at the end.
For the first time, he successfully came to the door of this church.
In the past few months, he used various methods to try to find a way to enter the church countless times, and even sneaked into the almshouse outside the church at night.
But the result is failure without exception.
As Zatanna once warned him, don't be curious, don't open Pandora's box.
No matter how you search, you can only get the result of a ghost hitting the wall. You can't find the right path in this small building. It's like entering a completely distorted space. There is no electronic signal in this building. significance.
But this time, he didn't encounter any obstacles, and easily reached the door of the church.
However, before he stretched out his hand to push the door open, the door opened automatically.
The Pope stood behind the door, with his white robe quietly hanging down, looking at him gently.Under the starlight-covered dome, the sacred and oppressive atmosphere lingers like a mist.
"Finally..." the pope said with a smile, "it's just you and me, Bruce."
"...Are you waiting for me?" Batman walked into the church and said in a deep voice.
"You should have seen him before." The Pope said, he lowered his eyes, covering the madness and obsession in his eyes, the golden lines on his face wriggled like living things, "I saw him with my own eyes..."
The incarnation of the gods, the supreme will, the sublime existence beyond the starry sky, beyond dimensions, and beyond all civilizations.
The pope's strange look did not escape Batman's eyes.
He realized that perhaps the significance of this "traveler" to Star Nest was far beyond his imagination.
"He asked me to bring you a message," Batman said, his tone calm.
