"Are you sure the sealing and filtration systems are functioning normally?" Tim was still a little worried and wanted to check the control system of the Batcave. Several other Robins felt a little confused and urgently needed someone to answer them.
Confuse.
So Dick stood up and said, "Did you see the fog outside the window just now? That kind of light gray fog."
Several Robins looked at each other. Some of them seemed to have an impression, but some seemed not to. After all, this kind of weather was too common in Gotham. They would forget it at a glance. Who would bother to remember it?
"That seems to be the case." Nightwing from the main universe said: "I was standing by the window just now and saw fog forming under the window. Is there something wrong with the fog?"
Jason sighed and said: "You have traveled through the universe relatively rarely, so you may not know that an abnormal phenomenon called 'Visitors in the Mist' has occurred in various universes recently."
"The manifestation is that a burst of thick fog will suddenly erupt in a certain area, and the time and space in the area will begin to be confused. People who inhale the fog will see all kinds of terrifying hallucinations, and even chase the shadow deep in the thick fog.
, and encountered various dangers.”
The Robins were very surprised. They said: "You mean it exists in every universe, so why haven't we seen it before?"
"Are there not enough strange things that suddenly appear?" Tim sighed and said: "I am very interested in this kind of abnormal phenomenon, so I have investigated a lot of information. Most of the experiencers and witnesses mentioned that they were in a
The place entered a thick fog, but when it came out, it was another place. Many people saw many terrifying eyes in the fog. It seemed that the longer they stayed there, the more abnormal phenomena appeared."
"Then there's no solution?"
"The best solution is to enter a completely enclosed space, and it must be equipped with a complete filtration system so that fog particles cannot penetrate. The second solution is to wear a gas mask. If you don't inhale the fog, you won't have hallucinations.
, just stay where you are and wait for the fog to dissipate."
"This is really troublesome." The Red Hood of the main universe crossed his arms and said, "Then what is the purpose of this mysterious mist?"
The three Jasons shook their heads. Obviously they didn't know, but Tim relied on his own investigation and speculated: "We suspect that the owner of the mist may be a member of the Dark Council."
"Dark Council?"
"It's Barbatos's organization. Didn't Batman tell you? Gotham will become what it is now. It's all the fault of Barbatos, the so-called god of darkness. But Barbatos doesn't fight alone. He and the other three
The gods formed the Dark Council."
"The other two members of the Dark Council are still unclear, but Barbatos, the god of darkness and bats, and the Visitor from the Mist are two entities that have appeared several times so far. I guess their purpose is the same, which is to invade the light.
universe."
"What about the guy who calls himself King Robin?"
"I think he's just a little guy." Jason said, "It seems that for some reason, these powerful gods can't invade directly, so they will send their men."
"But their men are not scattered soldiers, but organized. Since they are organized, there must be generals and soldiers. I guess King Robin is a member of the soldiers."
Everyone looked at each other, Arkham Knight came out, stared at Jason and said: "You mean, Robin King, who almost killed Batman and Superman, and left superhero corpses everywhere, is just a member of their organization.
Vanguard."
"It's a pity, but I'm afraid it is." Jason said with a serious face: "And I'm afraid he is not an attacker, but just a scout. He has not received any urgent combat missions, so he has the time to be here.
It’s a TV show, and it’s claiming to be the king and hegemony.”
"Otherwise, if he can kill Batman and Superman with one blow, why can't he just work harder and destroy Gotham directly? Wouldn't that be more effective once and for all?"
These words made everyone feel heavy, and they decided not to wait anymore, but to take action immediately.
They knew that Batman had activated the protective device at the portal, but if Robin King really wanted to come, just activating the protective device there would not be enough.
After Scarecrow's conspiracy, Batman realized that it was useless to only protect important landmarks. Barbara rolled over in a wheelchair and said: "Because these crazy people can take Gotham people as hostages at any time, as long as they create a few casualties."
Explosions can keep Batman busy and unable to do anything else."
"In order to prevent this from happening again, during this period, Batman built thousands of secret chambers in the sewers of Gotham to install protective equipment all over the city. Once danger is detected, these protective equipment will
Start immediately."
"What is the specific principle?" Red Robin from the main universe asked.
"I'm not sure, but judging from Batman's description, it may be an energy absorber. As we all know, whether it is explosives or fear gas release devices, they require energy to operate. Once they lack energy, they will
It cannot work as expected, and even if it still explodes, the scope of the impact will be very small."
"Then isn't it activated now?"
"That's the problem." Barbara touched her chin and said, "I think this thing may also be dangerous. Batman is worried that a villain will find it and turn it into a weapon. That would be too bad.
, so now they should be dormant, not emitting signals, and not being found by anything."
"That means we have to activate it."
"Yes, but the most troublesome thing is that because he is worried about being caught in one fell swoop, Batman may have compiled a very complicated network, neither by area nor by energy level, so even if we find the switch, we don't know if we turn it on
Which ones are."
Dick sighed deeply and said, "Sometimes I don't even know who Batman is guarding against."
"That's the one in your universe." Red Robin said immediately: "The others are all the same. I'm very used to this. As long as you can find a way to get the switch, I think we can crack it. There are three ways to do it.
Here’s Tim Drake.”
The three Tims looked at each other and saw the confidence in each other's eyes. Tim has always been known as the successor of Batman who is most like Batman. If you want to say what he is most like Batman, it is probably that he is not biased at all. Bat
He basically knows all the subjects in the Xiahui.
"But now this mysterious thick fog blocks the door, how are we going to get out?" Dick looked a little anxious. He said, "I guess the Batman of this universe may still be trapped. For some reason, Robin King
There is no rush to kill him, but no one knows when he will change his mind, so we have to find a way to save him quickly."
"I think we might as well think about why King Robin didn't kill him." Jason moved a chair and sat down and said, "I can't get out now anyway, so why don't we discuss something useful? Why don't we think about why?
Your universe."
"What do you mean?" Arkham Knight frowned.
"Look, there are so many universes in this world, almost endless. If there is a Batman in every universe, then there will be countless Batmans."
"If he just picked randomly, how could he choose you by chance? If he came to this universe with a purpose, what is his purpose? What is special about the Batman of this universe?"
The Robins in the Arkham universe were silent. They had never been to other universes, and they didn't know what Batman in other universes was like, so they couldn't see anything special about their own one.
"It seems to me about the same." Nightwing from the main universe said: "He is not much different from the Batman I know. If I have to say it, maybe he talks less, and the armor looks different."
"Wait a minute, why did the Batman of our universe also come to this universe?" Red Robin keenly grasped the point of the matter. He said: "He didn't come here because of the distress signal. It was him who came here that we
A distress signal has been received, so what is he doing here before King Robin comes?"
Several Robins looked at each other, obviously no one had a clue, so Nightwing from the Arkham universe said: "Think about it again, what was the Batman in your universe doing before coming here?"
"At that time, there were a lot of weird Batmans who came to our house, the ones you saw before, but nothing else."
"Are they still in the garden now?" Yeyi planned to adjust the surveillance camera to take a look.
It's not that they didn't plan to call this group of Batmans to come over for refuge. The main reason was that they were too far away when the thick fog came. These strange-looking Batmans were all in the garden, and judging from the size of some of them, they seemed
Entirely entering the Batcave is a bit difficult.
"They should be fine." Red Hood said, "Most of them are no longer human beings. Whether they need to breathe or not is a problem. As long as they stay where they are, there shouldn't be any big problem."
"I hope so." Nightwing from the main universe said, "I think I can ask them to find the switch for the protection system later."
"We haven't heard your story in full yet." Tim planned to look for clues from the past, so he looked at Arkham Knight.
Arkham Knight pursed his lips, and in the end it was the other two Robins from Arkham Knight who finished the whole story.
Tim thought for a while and then said: "It's nothing special. It seems to be similar to the experience in other universes, but there is only one thing that I care about more. The Batman of this universe killed the Joker."
"I'll say it again, Batman didn't kill the Joker. He sought his own death." Arkham Knight emphasized: "Batman wanted to give him the antidote, but he didn't want it himself. Should he still blame Batman if he dies?
?”
"But you said Batman was also troubled by this later on."
After thinking about it for a moment, Barbara nodded and said, "Batman has clearly expressed his loss of control. I'm not sure what this loss of control refers to. Could it be that there is a madman mumbling in his head."
"It seems that this is the problem." Everyone realized something was wrong. Several Robins from Schiller's universe exchanged opinions and then said: "We have never heard of a Batman in any universe killing the Joker.
Or even just related to the death of the Joker, and I haven’t heard of Batman going crazy later.”
"Batman and the Joker..." Jason muttered to himself and said, "Have you seen that Robin King? He is Bruce Wayne, but he smiles like the Joker. Do you think it is him?
Is it a fusion of Batman and the Joker?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone trembled. Dick rubbed his arms and said: "Don't tell ghost stories in broad daylight. Batman and the Joker merge. Oh my God, I'm scared just thinking about it."
It’s going to be a nightmare.”
"It's really hard to imagine that the Joker's smile would appear on Batman's face. What would happen..."
"Stop talking!" Arkham Knight interrupted angrily, but it was too late. Everyone's imagination allowed this expression to appear in their minds, and then they all turned away their heads in disgust.
The Joker's exaggerated smile itself has some uncanny valley effect, and when it is put on the face of Batman, who usually has a completely stern face, this expression is really scary and terrifying.
"Could it be that King Robin wants to find someone of the same kind?" Jason brought the topic back and said, "He wanted to find another Batman who merged with the Joker, so he found this one from your universe."
