Chapter 586: Adventures in Gotham City (Part 2)
On the other side, the rescue team composed of Batman, Constantine, Superman and Victor came to Schiller's manor. They came here not to investigate any clues, but to borrow something.
The housekeeper Merkel received them. After learning about Schiller's condition, Merkel allowed them to enter the manor, and Constantine's goal was the bottle of wine that Schiller placed on the bookshelf in the reception room.
This bottle of wine has knocked down many people. Constantine and Merkel both fell on this bottle of wine and were once pulled into a dream. But at this time, it has become a shortcut for several people to enter the dreamland.
If they just fall asleep and dream, there is no way for them to meet in the conscious space. After all, there is no Professor X in Gotham who can directly connect the brain waves of several people and let them meet in their dreams.
If he only sleeps on his own, Batman can enter the Dream Kingdom through the hole at the bottom of his consciousness, but the other people do not have such a passage, and it is not a good idea to meet in the Dream Kingdom because they may encounter danger. , were defeated one by one.
Therefore, they planned to use crazy wine to fall into a dream together. After entering the same dream space, they would then go down and enter the dream kingdom. This would be safer.
Needless to say, the effect of crazy wine. The moment Constantine opened the cork, everyone fell into a dream, and Merkel in the real world carried them to the sofa in the living room.
In the dream, they were supposed to appear in the reception room just like the real world. It was a room in Schiller's Hall of Thought. However, the moment they fell into the dream, they began to fall, and then fell to the ground like dumplings. .
Several people got up, still a little dizzy, and then when they looked up, they saw a huge ship parked next to them. At the edge of the deck, a row of Schillers poked their heads out to look at them.
"Oh! God, we found Professor Schiller!" Clark stood up first, waved towards the ship and said, "Hey, Professor, what are you doing here? Why don't you go back to the real world? We are worried about you!"
Batman stood up from the ground, rubbed his head, and looked up at the row of Schillers until he saw a green-haired figure there. Jack the Clown jumped off the boat with a "snap", and then Fell in front of Batman.
He ran up to Batman and started laughing. He said while laughing: "Batman! Have you ever heard such a funny joke? Someone lost his house and couldn't go back. In the real world! He still needs to count on Batman to save him, hahahahahaha!
Batman bypassed the Joker, climbed up the ladder along the side of the ship, and found one among the many Schillers wearing a doctor's uniform. At this time, Marvel Schiller was sitting on the edge of the deck, looking at the endless white Space, think about where your home has gone.
Before DC Schiller implemented this plan, he did not tell all the Schillers what he was going to do, and all the Schillers on the ship just wanted to go out for some air, so they did not know why their homes were destroyed. I don’t know where my home has gone.
"Don't look at me, I don't know anything," Marvel Schiller shook his head. At this time, he was still in a state of confusion. He said, "I just sailed back and saw that the entire tower was gone. ”
"Gone? Why is it missing?" Constantine stepped forward and asked.
"It was...overwhelmed by a group of cats." When Marvel Schiller said this himself, he felt a little incredible. He couldn't even describe the details, so he could only repeat it: "It was suddenly overwhelmed by a group of cats. "
Batman narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing it, and his expression was obviously saying "If you make up lies, you should make it more rounded", but Constantine suddenly said: "A Dream of a Thousand Cats, it should be a Thousand Cats" dream.”
Then, Constantine told several other people an ancient legend: "It is said that the earth was ruled by cats in ancient times. At that time, the human race was not prosperous, but cats had developed tribes and built They have become cities, and they have become the masters of humans, allowing humans to create various landscapes for themselves.”
"However, in order to get rid of the situation of slavery, humans united and dreamed a dream of a thousand people, and used the dream to cover reality. In the dream, humans became the masters of the earth, and cats became servants."
"However, this dream did not completely cover all reality, so it left certain traces. For example, the Egyptian culture of advocating cats is one of the evidences of this legend."
"However, the cat people have never given up on reversing this situation. When a thousand cats dream together, they can return to that glorious era, and what represents the dream of cats is the Dream of a Thousand Cats."
"The God of Dreams is the representative of dreams, so he can naturally control the Thousand Cats' Dream. My guess is that something happened to Morpheus when he visited Schiller's Hall of Thought, which caused him to release the Thousand Cats' Dream. Out of control."
"The Dream of a Thousand Cats represents the dreamland of cats. It is very likely that Schiller's mind palace was pulled into the dreamland of cats."
"So, now we're going to find Schiller in Cat's Dreamland..." Batman said.
Constantine nodded, then he thought for a while and said: "We have to go to the dream kingdom first, find the place where the Dream God stores dreams, and then find a cat's dream from there, and then use the cat's dream to enter the World of Thousand Cats Dream."
It sounds like this plan is reliable, so several people set off immediately. Although Schiller's thinking tower disappeared, the hole on the ground was still there, so they went down along the hole and came to the dreamland without the dream god.
From the environment, it looks like there is a lot of birds singing and flowers blooming here, and there is no danger at all as Constantine said, but soon they realized why Constantine was so cautious.
Dreamland is a place where nothing is strange, because the dreams of any creature are bizarre and weird, so it means that there are many creatures beyond ordinary people's cognition, and they are all dangerous.
As soon as several people landed, they encountered a colorful tentacle monster that looked like paint spilled. The first person the tentacle monster attacked was Batman. Batman rolled over to avoid the tentacles that kept changing shapes and colors. Constantine's magic light lit up, and he waved hard, and the tentacles were directly cut off by the light blade.
Clark flew up, and the heat ray plowed all the way, and the monsters on the path ran away in panic.
Constantine put away his posture, patted Batman on the shoulder and said, "I said, with him here, we will be much safer."
Batman didn't say anything, just walked forward along the road opened by Clark. During this period, they also encountered groups of strange ostriches with sharp beaks, flying discs with more than a dozen legs, walking coconut trees, and various similar strange creatures.
Most of them like to chase people, and after being attacked, they will flee in all directions. Of course, it may also be because Superman's attack is so powerful, and no matter where the creatures are, they have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.
After solving these troubles, they finally came to the place where dreams are stored. Here is a starry sky, and countless bubbles float in the space, like stars one after another.
Constantine used a mystical method that several people could not understand to identify the content of these dreams. Suddenly, his eyes stopped on one of the bubbles.
Others did not see what was different about this bubble, but Constantine reached out and touched it gently. In an instant, several people were sucked into the bubble.
They came to a beautiful grassland. If you ignore the huge rats in the distance and the fish flying in the sky, it is quite peaceful here. Clark looked at this space and said, "It seems that this should be a cat's dream, with rats, fish, and a vast grassland."
"In theory, every cat's dream should be connected to the dream of a thousand cats, that is to say, we should be in the same dream space with Schiller now, but it may be a bit troublesome to find his specific location. Where is he now?"
Constantine turned his head and looked around, as if thinking about how to find Schiller in this space.
At this time, Batman instinctively walked in one direction. Several other people walked over in confusion and wanted to stop him, but Batman said, "I can feel that this is the direction of Gotham."
"What is the basis for this?" Clark asked in confusion, "How could there be Gotham in the dream world? Moreover, this is a cat's dream."
Victor grabbed Clark who was about to stop Batman, and said to him, "I often hear Schiller say that those who don't belong to Gotham will always leave, but some people belong to Gotham, and they will definitely go to Gotham, no matter where they are."
Looking at Batman's back walking in front, Victor sighed, shook his head, and then followed his pace. Clark felt a little puzzled, but Constantine who came up patted his shoulder and followed him. Clark had no choice but to follow them forward.
I don't know how long I walked, and finally crossed this prairie, and then passed through several small towns, came to the opposite side of a river, and then crossed the sea.
In the dream, distance is not an obstacle, nor does it make people feel tired, or even feel the passage of time. They just walked and walked, and finally came to a coastline.
Across the coastline is a huge city, which looks dark and scary under the moonlight. No one needs to call out its name, everyone thinks of that word in their hearts, as if all such cities should be called Gotham.
Batman stood on a reef by the sea, his cape fluttering in the wind. Before he could speak out the deep lines he had prepared, Clark fell from the air and said, "What's going on? Why are there so many cats in the city?"
The deep atmosphere around Batman disappeared instantly. He looked at Clark, who rolled his eyes and said, "I can't be wrong. My eyesight is very good. The city in front is full of cats."
"Indeed, the dream world ruled by cats should indeed be full of cats. The problem is that in the dream of the Thousand Cats, people They may be human or slaves. If we go in like this, I'm afraid..."
"Can't we beat a few cats?" Victor asked, "Even if all the residents of Gotham are cats now, they are just cats. Can't he deal with them?"
Victor pointed at Clark, but Clark said seriously, "No, how can I hurt a kitten? I have a cat at home, and I like it very much. My parents taught me since I was a child that I must never pull a cat's tail. If there are stray cats in trouble on the street, I should help as much as possible. We must be loving..."
Victor opened his mouth, but he really had nothing to say. Constantine also agreed: "I'm afraid, the cats here are different from what you imagined. If the legend of A Thousand Cats' Dream is true, then in cats In the dream world, cats occupy the earth like humans and have developed for so many years. I am afraid they have developed technology or magic that is not weaker than humans. "

"If we just break in like this, we may have to face not only the siege of thousands of cats, but also some weapons that we can't imagine. After all, these little guys with sharp teeth and claws are capable of anything. Those who can do it, when they have weapons, it's not just as simple as pushing the bottle off the table..."
Batman looked at the familiar city and narrowed his eyes, but he was the first to suggest: "Let's turn into cats and sneak in."
"But we are humans, how can we turn into cats?" Clark asked.
"Don't forget, this is in the dream world. An unchanging rule in the dream world is that 'what you believe is true is true.' As long as you feel that you are a cat, you can become a cat, just like this... "
As soon as Constantine finished speaking, with a "bang", he turned into a golden gradient. The color of his fur was somewhat similar to his hair color, and you could tell from the look in his eyes that he was Constantine.
The second person to turn into a cat was Batman, and his willpower should not be underestimated. The blue-eyed black cat has a strong body, and even the slender tail seems to be born for fighting.
Victor thought for a moment, it wasn't that he couldn't do it, it was just that he was hesitating about what kind of cat he wanted to turn into. After thinking about it, he turned into a Russian blue cat, which was bluer than the usual blue cat. At one point, he said, "I like blue, not bad, right?"
In the end, only Clark was stunned. He asked, "What do you mean, you think you can become a cat just because you are a cat? But I'm not a cat?"
Batman's cat showed a helpless look on his face. Constantine stepped forward and patted Clark's trouser leg with his paw. Clark squatted down and picked him up, grabbed his front paw and shook it, smiling. He said, "It's really similar. My cat is orange."
Constantine also sighed. He waved his paw in Clark's hand, and with a flash of magic, Clark was turned into a striped orange cat. When the two cats landed at the same time, Constantine licked He touched his paw and said, "If imagination is not enough, then use magic to do it."
Clark looked at his paws in surprise. Suddenly, he flew up from the ground, and the other three cats looked at him.
Batman turned to look at Constantine. Constantine hesitated and said, "His superpowers seem to transcend the dividing line between reality and dreams. No matter which world he is in, they will not be weakened, even if he turns into a cat... …”
"Then our safety will be more guaranteed." Victor said. Clark breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his superpowers were still there. He fell to the ground, walked in front of several cats, stretched out his paws, and pointed. That city said:
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
"Let's go, the Cat Team is going to save the world."
