Under the physical attack of the two Batmans, Constantine quickly woke up, but just like the male version of her in other universes, she was not much better after waking up, and most of the sanity she regained was lost.
Used to stare at a male and female Batman and perform some aesthetic appreciation purely for artistic purposes.
It wasn't until Batwoman hammered the table hard that she woke up Constantine. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, but your uniform is really... unisex."
"Let's get down to business." Batwoman's murderous intent was almost overflowing from her eyes.
"Oh, Dr. Suoship, right? I've heard some rumors about him, but don't really expect him to be just an ordinary doctor. There is no fuel-efficient lamp in All Souls College."
"What the hell is that place?"
"Simply put, it is the highest research institute in the occult world. According to ordinary people's understanding, it is probably equivalent to the honorary research institute in the best university. It does not recruit ordinary students. Basically, only scholars who have been famous for a long time and really have two brushes can do so.
Join it.”
"So what is this mysterious Dr. Soship up to?"
"I don't know the specifics. I can't get along with those purely theoretical groups. You know, I'm a wild person." Constantine shrugged, lowered his head to light the cigarette, and after taking a puff of smoke, he said with some emotion:
"I haven't been back to England for a long time. I don't know what the situation is there now, but it's probably going to end just like this universe."
The two Batmans looked at each other, and Batwoman was about to raise her fists again. Batman stopped her, called out the bartender who was hiding behind the counter, and said, "Give her a glass of tequila, please."
"Hey, handsome guy, you want to bribe me so quickly." Constantine leaned towards Batman, showed a big smile and said: "Don't be so anxious, we can have a good talk later in the evening."
Batwoman was about to roll her eyes when Constantine leaned towards her again and said, "I mean us together."
The next second her head was pressed on the bar table, and Batwoman said one word at a time: "Say the right thing!"
Constantine rubbed his neck, shook his sore shoulders, picked up the cigarette, took a puff and said: "Okay, I know you must have something important to find him, but there is something weird about that place. Ordinary people
Can't get in."
"What's weird?"
"To put it simply, it is a rift in time and space. The building you see at All Spirits College is located now, but every room you walk into is in a different era. This is to prevent those precious research materials from being lost somewhere.
They were all destroyed in one of the catastrophes of the era.”
"So how do we find Dr. Soship?"
"Usually, if an ordinary magician wants to enter All Souls Academy to search for information, we need to send a letter first. After getting permission, along with the reply, you will hear that All Souls Academy has not sounded the bell since 1963.
The stroke of midnight.”
"At this time, when you come to the current All Souls College in Oxford, you will see the lights on in the room of the person who invited you, enter the door and go up the stairs, open the door and enter the room you want to enter."
"Do you have any friends who could invite us?"
Constantine shook his head and said: "You can only enter the room of the person who invited you. The other rooms will be hidden in the historical fragments and cannot be touched."
"You said you were an ordinary magician, but you are obviously not that ordinary." Batman said.
"Good vision." Constantine snapped his fingers and said: "Looking at your situation, it will definitely be too late to get in through formal channels. After all, with the efficiency of the British, you will definitely not be able to receive anything within ten days and a half.
reply."
"Do you have any other ways?" Batwoman approached Constantine and placed her hand next to her seat. Obviously, Batman is good at some persuasive methods based on personal feelings.
"Of course, we can sneak across from the border of hell, but you'd better make sure that you are really up to business. Although most of the people in Wanling Academy are purely theoretical, I can't guarantee that there will be no one who can fight.
If there's a fight, I won't help you."
The two Batmans looked at each other again, and finally decided to use Constantine's method. After all, if the matter about the mysterious pollution is not solved, Atlantis will come back sooner or later, and a land and sea war will inevitably break out.
Constantine opened a portal, and the three of them first came to the limbo of hell, which is the prison of the soul book. The two Batmans saw that Constantine first arranged a portal, and then drew a lot of runes.
The portal turned a mysterious golden color.
"Hold on to each other later. No matter what you see, don't let go. It's just an illusion in time. Don't believe anything you see until your feet touch the ground."
The two Batmans nodded cautiously. The moment the three of them entered the portal, countless historical fragments flashed before Batman's eyes. Ancient orators stood on boulders and gave speeches. Roman soldiers held shields to repel wild beasts.
A raven with blood-red eyes flew across the sky, countless spaceships, lasers, turrets, and a rich darkness.
When they woke up again, they found themselves in a room. Constantine didn't know where he had hidden, but a man wearing a long black trench coat was lying on a lounge chair by the fireplace and taking a nap.
It seems that this is Dr. Sohep, Batman thought. He is younger than he thought, and does not seem to have much to do with the occult. He thought he would see an old man with a white beard wearing a wizard's hat.
Woolen cloth.
Batwoman gave Batman a look, asking if we should wake him up. Batman first touched the weapon on his waist, and then coughed heavily.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't wake up at all, so Batman and Batwoman had to walk in front of him. It wasn't until the firelight of the fireplace was completely covered by their shadows that the man on the recliner moved.
"Why did he fall asleep again?" Strange looked at Schiller who was leaning on the sofa with some confusion and said, "It's as if he is the one who performed the surgery for 50 hours in a row."
"Leave him alone." Nick glanced at Schiller and said: "Now that the blueprint of the monitor has been determined, let's think about how to send him in. Before you fully determine the specific circumstances of those dangerous personalities, you'd better
Don't go deep into it, those mutants should help."
The two Batmans waited for a while before the man on the recliner finally woke up completely and was stunned again when he saw the two figures.
"Hello, Dr. Sohip, we mean no harm."
"That's not very convincing," Sohip replied.
The two Batmans were speechless. After all, whoever wakes up and sees two weirdos in tights standing in the living room of his home watching him sleep would have a hard time believing that the other person really means no harm.
"What happened today?" Suoship mumbled and stood up, slowly walked to the desk and said, "Has anything big happened recently? Why is there no warning on the star map?"
"Doctor...Doctor! We are here to investigate something." Batman said: "Do you know who Barbatos is?"
Before Suoship could reply, Batwoman took the lead and looked at Batman. She actually knew that this weird male Batman from another universe was hiding something from her, but she didn't expect that he could tell such an exact name. It seemed that
He knows much more than he thinks.
"Are you here to investigate Barbatos?" Sohipu didn't look surprised. He had obviously heard of this name before and said, "This is a bit strange. This name usually does not appear alone."
He really came to the right place, Batman thought, because there were indeed several other mysterious beings in his investigation.
"Can you tell me about them?"
"Many people think that I have the truth and answers here." Suoship said: "In fact, this is not necessarily the case. I can only show you the way. The real answers need to be explored by yourself."
Batman didn't care about the cryptic way these occultists spoke. He grasped the key and said: "Where is the way?"
"Earth." Suohip put his hands on the table and said: "The fact that you can find this place means that you have already investigated these things. Then among the information obtained from your investigation, you may have discovered that no matter what the so-called...
Gods who represent the rules of the universe, advanced and brutal aliens, and indescribable magical things in the universe, all of them have a unique interest in the earth."
Both Batmans frowned. They had obviously paid attention to some situations in the universe, especially the Batman of the main universe who had experienced the invasion of Apokolips before. He originally thought that Darkseid was targeting him.
He came from the equation, but later he discovered that Darkseid had concerns about the earth.
But whether from the perspective of astronomical science or lantern groups, the earth is in a very remote location, and there are no very precious resources in the entire solar system. Therefore, the interest of these strange alien creatures in the earth is very abnormal.
Batman suddenly understood what Sohip meant. If the problem lies with the earth itself, then the planet under their feet is not as simple as they knew. And Batman knows very little about the earth, at least in terms of mystery.
This is true at the academic level.
"That's why we're here." Batwoman stood up, walked around and said, "Is there anything you can tell us?"
"In fact, I think you can check it out on your own, but instead of coming here, go back to the normal timeline and go to the library of Oxford University. There should be what you want there."
In the end, the two Batmans did not get more from Dr. Sohep. Batman already had some ideas in his mind, so he and Batwoman went to the closed Oxford University Library late at night.
Because the history of the United States is too short, the historical books that the two of them had access to in Gotham were either reproduced versions or transcribed versions, and even a large part of them were made up by modern people based on their own speculations about history.
, so if you have to rate each of Batman's decathlons, then history may be his weakness.
Even so, it does not mean that Batman is not suitable for learning history. His far superior memory and outstanding concentration make him still have unparalleled talent in this area.
The two Batmans quickly dug out the ones they wanted among the vast historical books, and then began to study intently. Batwoman rummaged through the thick tomes while saying: "Do you really think
Can we find answers in these histories? Do you think ancient humans didn't realize we were doomed?"
"Not only did they realize it, they may have even tried to save it, but they failed." Batman also lowered his head and read a book and said: "And you are too pessimistic. This may be a disaster, but it does not mean that we are destined to be destroyed.
.”
Batwoman raised her head and glanced at him. The male Batman temperament was inherently tougher and more serious, and deeper than hers, but Batwoman saw a kind of hope in him. He was more energetic than she showed.
"I know you lost a very important person, twice." Batman said: "But you overestimated your ability to bear, thinking that no matter how much you lose, it's no big deal. In fact, it was far from the case. Until that moment you
Only then will you regret it.”
Batwoman pursed her lips and said nothing, "Did you only lose once?"
"That's still the case so far, and I got them back."
Batwoman's eyes widened, but Batman remained calm as always and said, "Or, they chose to come back to me."
"You mean Thomas and Martha..."
"I know you are thinking that maybe you will have a chance to meet them, but believe me, your expectations may be too good."
"for example?"
Batman raised his head and stared at Batwoman, as if getting to know her again, looking at her from head to toe and said: "If you have to go, don't wear this outfit. This will make Thomas furious. Some of his
His words may make you feel that he disrespects your ex-boyfriend significantly."
Batwoman opened her mouth, but she still looked down at her clothes and said a little confused: "What happened to my clothes?"
Batwoman's uniform is similar to Batman's. Although it is very tightly wrapped, it is tight and a bit too tight.
"Originally, it was nothing." Batman wrote down the key points in the book with a pen. He paused and said, "But if you suddenly have a very troublesome brother, it will be a big problem."
