Chapter 3 Moon 03
Leaving the two stunned humans in the morgue, Hawthorne opened the door and walked out.
He glanced at his current state:
[Uriah Hart: sanity 0/50, pollution degree 7.42%]
Just now he obtained the ability to manipulate objects from his own body, which increased his pollution by nearly 2%.When using this ability later, the pollution level will still increase, but the rate of increase will be much slower.
7.42% is not too dangerous a figure.
More than 10% may start to have the slightest organ changes, which may be the eyes, or a finger or hair (although hair is not an organ).The degree of pollution can be reduced slowly, but the mutation is irreversible. Once the mutation occurs, the degree of pollution cannot be reversed.
Gotham was already shrouded in darkness at this time, misty fog filled the empty streets, and the damp chill was bitingly cold.
As he walked, he pulled the few qualified believers he had found from other time and space.
His power at this moment is not complete, so the projection of the believer is not very accurate. Originally, Hawthorne wanted to put it directly beside him, but in the end it was placed crookedly, and all the shells were still a long way away from him.
Hawthorne: ...
He felt a little annoyed by this at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he was not too young now, and it didn't seem to matter if his marksmanship was a little red in the sunset, so he immediately looked away.
After the successful projection, his mind was immediately connected to all the shells, forming a complete hive consciousness.
The so-called hive mind, in simple terms, refers to a living system in which only one consciousness exists in a group, and other individuals share thinking, memory and information in a certain way to achieve efficient action.
Hawthorn, as an outer god, is strictly speaking the embodiment of the rules of the universe. He does not exist on the material level, but more like the frequency of a certain signal, which is the only consciousness in the hive mind—the bee back.
The power of this union of consciousness lies in the unity of action between each individual.They are like chess players manipulated by chess players. They have no self-awareness, but overall planning, and no chess pieces will make useless work due to unequal information.
Their efficiency is always [-]%.
As at this moment, he was Hawthorne Dylan and Uriah Hart.
……
Hawthorne withdrew his gaze from the system panel, and that slightly sloppy expression gradually disappeared, and he became Uriah Hart.
He had just arrived and had no money or place to live.
Gotham is a seaside city, the air is humid and cold, it is already night, and the darkness is oppressing the homeless like a pervasive devil.
Ulea breathed out into the palm of his hand, and was about to find a place to get through the cold and long night in front of him.
At this moment, several police cars rushed out of the road, completely surrounding the place.
A large group of Gotham policemen rushed down in full armor, with guns in their hands, ready for battle, and the black muzzles of their guns were aimed at the unarmed Uriah.
"Hands up!" yelled the leading policeman, "Don't go any further!"
Uriah: "...?"
A gust of cold wind was blowing, it was indeed a bit cold for him who was wearing thin clothes, he couldn't help shivering.
He raised his eyes and looked at the leading police officer.
He is wearing a dark and heavy windbreaker and wearing a pair of glasses. He looks about 50 or [-] years old. His eyes are sharp, his temperament is cold, and his appearance is particularly energetic. The fearlessness of young people and the calmness of middle-aged people are reflected in him at the same time. But there is no contradiction at all.
There was a fairly long sanity bar on his head, which was longer than the two unlucky guys just now combined.
[James Gordon: sanity value 100/100, pollution degree: 0%]
One hundred points of sanity!
Ulea's eyes lit up as if she found a high-scoring test paper in a pile of failed test papers, and she immediately became very interested in this police officer.
One hundred points of sanity... Not bad, do you want to find a way to make him your believer?
Seeing that Uriah didn't respond, Director James Gordon tightened his grip on the gun, and shouted again: "Hands up!"
Ulea glanced at the black gun muzzles around her, then at the panicked pedestrians running around on the street, and after a moment of thought...
... He resolutely gave up resistance and raised his hand.
Gordon was relieved to see that Uriah was still cooperative.
Other Gotham citizens may not know what terrible things this frail and harmless young man in front of him has done, but he knows it clearly.
The scene of the crime he committed was weird, bloody, and terrifying, even in a dirty place like Gotham, it can be called appalling.
All the people he took as targets were all dead and crazy. They desperately destroyed their bodies as if they had completely lost their minds—hitting the wall, tearing their own flesh, and even destroying their five sense organs, stuffing their fists into their throats inside……
There are only suicide methods that you can't think of, there is nothing they can't do, some suicide methods even completely violate the laws of physics, and it is impossible to achieve in theory, but they really succeeded in suicide.
In this world where supernatural forces exist, this can only represent one conclusion——
This Gotham citizen named Uriah Hart is really a bit evil.
Coupled with the cult he believed in, the whole case immediately became weird and confusing, and he could even invite the "Approaching Science" program team to do a pseudoscience interview.
"You are involved in a major..." Gordon, who was about to say "homicide", paused.
Strictly speaking, the case Uriah was involved in did not seem to be a homicide, since all the victims committed suicide.
No matter how weird, strange, and unscientific their suicide appearances are, they really committed suicide after suddenly going crazy.
So Gordon changed his words: "...a major case, please cooperate with the police investigation."
Uriah raised one eyebrow slowly.
This unflappable, even a little cynical expression made Gordon's heart skip a beat, and the neuropathy radar suddenly began to buzz, and he said in his heart that he was broken!An Arkham prep talent!
Just when Gordon was ready to fight the lunatic for [-] rounds, Uriah said, "Okay, officer."
Gordon: ...
He behaved quite casually and plainly. Normally, he looked like a very normal and ordinary Gotham citizen, but on this occasion, it seemed a bit creepy.
He let the police handcuff him and gave Gordon one last look before getting into the police car.
There seemed to be a little smile in those eyes, and even a little curiosity, as if he had seen someone who particularly interested him.
Gordon: "..."
No, an ominous premonition!
For some reason, with just one glance, his scalp was numb, and he almost climbed up to the roof of the police station overnight and kicked the bat lamp away! !
……
On a gargoyle in a tall building near the arrest scene.
The nocturnal creature dressed in black quietly hibernates in the bitter and humid wind, staring sharply at the police car below.
Seeing that Uriah Hart was taken away by the police without any resistance, he moved his wrist slightly and put away the bat dart he was holding in his hand.
"It's really unexpected." A teenager's voice came from the side, with a teasing smile, "This dangerous cult member seems to be calmer and more rational than most of the people who will be imprisoned in Arkham, said How about a good neurosis?"
"Calm and rationality are not visible, Robin." Batman's voice was low.
"I understand, I understand." Robin shrugged, "So what do we do next? Keep following?"
Batman looked at the direction the police car was going away, and narrowed his sharp and bright eyes.
"Follow," he said.
