Chapter 2493 The battle for the cloak (forty-nine)
"Woof... woof woof!"
Several dog barks were heard, and a cat paw immediately appeared on the dog's nose. The bat cat pressed down the tube in Xiao Krypton's mouth to stop him from barking. He turned around and walked to the corner of the sewer, looking over there.
.
"Sure enough..." Batcat murmured in a low voice: "Call a few more times, little Krypton, to see if there is any response."
The big dog swung its tail and barked twice more, but the end of the sewer was lifeless and there was nothing.
"Damn it, he's obviously here, where did he hide the person?...Forget it, let's go up and take a look first."
A cat and a dog found the exit of the sewer as quickly as possible. After the little cat head unscrewed the cover of the sewer, what he saw was a familiar sight. This was his hometown, Gotham, the cat city.
"So where is the intruder?" Xiao Krypton asked.
Batcat shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't know, but that he wasn't sure. The two of them got out of the sewer and sneaked into the alley on the street. After walking through the alley and walking a few streets, they found
Another sewer outlet.
Xiao Krypton went over to smell it, smacked his lips, and said, "I can smell the disgusting smell all the time. If that's what the intruder smells like, then he must have been to the sewer."
"You can really tell the difference between the sewer stench and his..."
"Don't question my sense of smell." Xiao Krypton raised his head proudly, but was soon slapped with a paw, and the two of them slipped through the entrance.
Little Krypton was sniffing left and right in the sewer, while Bat Cat was observing the traces nearby. There were some vague footprints on the sewer floor, but most of them were left by cats, and they followed the traces to here.
It is half a vague human footprint.
It is difficult for humans to sneak into the cat city in the ordinary way. Although the cats in the cat city are about the same size as humans, after all, one is on two feet and the other is on four legs. If you walk in like this, you will definitely be discovered.
But there is one exception, and that is walking through the sewers. No matter which Gotham it is, the ecology of the sewers is quite exciting. It is not strange to see anything here, and no ordinary cat will peek into the sewers, whether it is sneaking in from here or hiding here.
Everything is much simpler than going directly to the city.
So when he realized that there might be an intruder in the dream world, and that his destination was most likely Gotham, the cat city, Batcat realized that this guy must have walked into the sewers.
After searching in the sewer, half a footprint was found as expected. However, because it was too blurry, it was difficult to deduce the identity of the other party from this half footprint. However, Batcat was acting with Superman Dog at the time, and Xiao Krypton said he was around
It's hard not to smell a foul smell that arouses the bat cat's vigilance.
Most people should still remember that the first time a group of people from real-life Gotham came into contact with the cat city Gotham was when the dream of a thousand cats was frightened and forced several people into the dream.
However, after careful investigation later, it was found that the owl wanted to usurp the authority of the Dream of a Thousand Cats, and in reality tortured and killed many cats to perform cult rituals. At that time, they discovered that some kind of dark energy was continuously transported into the cat city through this ritual.
Gotham, to pollute the Dream of a Thousand Cats.
Xiao Krypton was not there at the time, but when he said there was an unusual smell here, Batcat immediately thought of this incident.
At first, Batcat thought this might be the smell of dark energy. After all, the entire Cat City Gotham has been infiltrated by owls for so many years, and the influence of polluted energy may still remain in the sewers.
But if you cooperate, the sudden appearance of footprints will not be so simple. Schiller and his team came here disguised as cats, and the owl was also disguised as a cat. Why did human footprints suddenly appear this time? Footprints
There happens to be some abnormal energy around her?
Feeling something was wrong, Batcat and Xiao Krypton started searching in the sewers. It was easy to find out whether the other party was a human or a cat. Xiao Krypton was a dog. If he barked, people would realize that it was a dog.
The cats in Cat City Gotham have never seen dogs, so the reactions of the two must be different.
Sure enough, this time they went down the sewer again. As soon as Xiao Krypton screamed twice, he heard a complaint coming from the end of the sewer, "What the hell? What is making a noise?"
An ugly cat emerged from the corner at the end. His body was covered with crocodile-like scales, and his head looked more like a reptile than a cat. A pair of vertical pupils of a cold-blooded animal stared at the person walking towards him.
Bat cat.
Seeing Batcat's classic blue eyes, the cat that looked like a crocodile was stunned for a moment, and Batcat obviously recognized him and called out tentatively: "Crocodile cat?"
"Batcat? What are you doing here?"
Bat Cat walked forward and rubbed against Crocodile Cat, then looked at the surrounding environment. He found that this was obviously a small base and looked like Crocodile Cat's home.
"Why haven't you moved out yet?"
"I have adapted to the life here. It's too hot on the ground, which is very bad for my skin." The crocodile cat took him inside, turned to look at the big dog behind the bat cat and said, "That's
What is it? The Doraemon you made?"
"No, he is another creature."
"Another creature, the same as that hairless cat with two legs and bamboo poles?"
The bat cat paused, looked at the crocodile cat and asked: "What is a hairless cat with two legs and bamboo poles?"
"When I was picking up garbage in the sewer a few days ago, I saw a very strange-looking monster. I didn't know what it was, so I called him a hairless cat with two legs and a bamboo pole."
"What exactly does it look like?"
Crocodile Cat described it to him, and Bat Cat immediately realized that it was not a hairless cat at all, but a human being.
"The guy seemed to be holding something in his mouth. He looked like one of his kind, but he didn't seem to be conscious. They just passed through that street over there."
Crocodile Cat pointed in a direction, and Bat Cat immediately discovered that it was the place where they found the footprints before. This showed that his guess was correct, and the intruder was operating in this generation area.
However, if a person is holding another person in his hand, and that person is still unconscious, this is likely to be a kidnapping case, but why did the other person kidnap this person into the dream world? And why did he come to Gotham, the cat city?
?
This made Batcat couldn't help but think of the pollution of the Thousand Cats' Dream. At that time, there were too many mysteries unresolved, such as where the source of dark energy came from, and the kind that would even be polluted by the dream god Morpheus and the Thousand Cats.
What is the nature of the terrible pollution that the dream fears?
Bat Cat asked again how the human being that Crocodile Cat saw was dressed. Crocodile Cat described it for a long time but couldn't describe it clearly, because cats themselves have fur and don't wear clothes, so they have no idea about clothes.
From the fragmentary words, it can be inferred that the other party seems to be wearing an ordinary human sweatshirt and a pair of jeans.
After repeated inquiries, which finally made Crocodile Cat furious, Bat Cat finally dug out the last bit of information. There was a smiley face emoticon printed on the guy's sweatshirt, which was two bean-like eyes with a curved arc.
Line mouth.
He reached into the washing machine with one hand and pulled out the wrinkled clothes that had been dried. He sorted them one by one and put them on hangers, and hung them to dry on the clothes drying rack on the balcony.
White shirt, black hoodie, dark jeans...until the dark gray sweatshirt at the bottom was pulled out, and the movements of the hands paused.
Bruce's eyes stayed on the smiley face pattern in the center of the sweatshirt. In the end, he didn't hang it up, but threw it into the trash bag next to it.
Stepping out of the balcony, Bruce heard Gordon's call. After he walked over, he looked at Gordon lying on the bed and said, "What's wrong, uncle? I was just hanging the clothes."
"Radio..." Gordon became older and older, and even his voice had an indescribable dryness, as if he was a dying old man.
Bruce then reluctantly took out the radio from under the bed and handed it to Gordon, and then warned: "I have to go out to work in the afternoon. Don't listen to it for too long. It's best to sleep a little longer."
Soon Bruce took his work uniform and left. Gordon held the radio for a while and listened to the latest reports about the Claw Killer, but soon he turned off the radio and tried hard to press the radio to his side.
, using the only free hand to open the battery back cover of the radio.
Then he held the radio in front of him and carefully observed the inside of the battery compartment.
Bruce didn't buy this radio, but it was the one Gordon kept in his office to listen to nostalgic radio stations when he was still a police sergeant.
Bruce knew that Gordon was a radio enthusiast, but what he didn't know was that Gordon liked radio communications in the military field. His radio was not simple. In addition to being able to listen to various channels, it could also transmit radio at a certain frequency.
The signal itself is a small radio station.
Although it is impossible to communicate clearly with the other party through the radio like a regular radio station, it can transmit syllables. As long as both parties have a tacit understanding, they can understand what is being said.
Gordon struggled to flip open a small switch inside the battery compartment, fumbled for a small hole under the switch with his fingers, and then moved downwards with his fingers to lift the corner of the cover, revealing a row of buttons.
About an hour before Bruce came back, Gordon heard some movement near the door. In the past, he should have been nervous at this time, because if a thief slipped in, he would definitely not be able to stop him like this.
But today he was a little surprised, because the person who broke the door lock and came in was his student Ge Yin.
Ge Yin put on her shoe covers very carefully, held a pistol in one hand, and leaned against the wall with the other hand, hunched over, and slowly moved towards Gordon's bedroom. Soon she walked in, and when she looked at Gordon
Instantly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? Chief, I heard the code you typed in the internal channel. It was the same version I used when I just graduated from the police academy. Did you run into any trouble?"
"Tell me first what happened to that clawed murderer."
Ge Yin showed an embarrassed expression, and then became a little ashamed. She said: "Sorry, Sheriff, I really couldn't catch him. He... he may not be a human, but a resentful spirit."
Ge Yin was already prepared to be scolded by Gordon, but she didn't see anger or disappointment in Gordon's eyes when she looked up. Gordon's expression was inexplicable, and he seemed to be seriously thinking about this claw.
Is the killer really a human being?
In order to avoid seeming to shirk responsibility, Ge Yin immediately stood up and said: "But as long as you give me some more time, I will definitely be able to find clues about him, figure out what is going on, and arrest him."
"Chief, don't worry, I won't let such a cruel and arrogant murderer go free for too long, I..."
"Wait a minute." Gordon said, "Do something for me. Remember, don't be discovered by anyone, and never tell anyone that you were here today."
"Sheriff..."
"I am no longer the police chief, Ge Yin, now you are the one who has the ability to reverse everything." Gordon looked at the student he had trained with his own hands, and seemed to have thousands of words to say, but in the end they only turned into nothing.
