Chapter 2823 The Forbidden Zone of Strange Demons (19)
Sure enough, here, Jerome's eyes were shining, but Peter was a little confused. He knew that the madman in front of him was hiding something from him, but the sudden appearance of such a large ancient city still shocked him.
Jerome stepped into the ancient city without any scruples. Peter was a little frightened. Seeing this scene, Jerome no longer concealed it. He walked inside and talked.
"Although the evil god is scary, the people of Gotham are not helpless. Someone had predicted what would happen today 20 years ago and left clues in Gotham Cathedral."
"About 20 years ago, the four major families worked together to repair Gotham's sewer system, but discovered a secret ruins and countless cultists hiding in the sewers."
"Is it possible that they caused the changes in the city?" Peter asked.
"On the contrary, they delayed the change in the city. The change should have broken out 20 years ago. The four major families tried their best to kill all the cultists and threw them into a special pool. They also renovated the sewers.
In the process, their special power will be spread through the water system."
Peter immediately thought of toilet water. No wonder he had been splashed with toilet water when he pressed the button before, but he did not turn into a monster. This thing is not in the same system as the pollution in hotels now.
"Is there no pollution in this power?" Peter asked.
"Actually, there is." Jerome sighed and said: "But Gotham people are no longer afraid, because we have discovered that since the establishment of this city, this kind of pollution has continued to corrode our bodies. No matter how much
Nothing at all."
Peter was speechless, wondering if this could be considered fighting fire with fire.
Jerome continued.
"Twenty years ago, people with lofty ideals cooperated with each other to accomplish this great feat, but unfortunately, this could only delay the evil gods, but could not completely eliminate them, so they could only leave a message in Gotham Cathedral, hoping
Those who come after us can accomplish this."
"I don't understand." Peter shook his head and said, "How can we accomplish something that even the entire city cannot accomplish?"
"The effort to lift the power of the four major families was not completed back then, not because the four major families were incapable, but because they lacked something, and it took 20 years to find these things."
"What's missing?"
At this point Jerome shook his head and stopped talking. The two of them walked towards the interior of the ancient city together. Jerome seemed to have a map and led Peter around but did not get lost.
It's getting wider and wider.
Soon a light lit up in front, and Peter thought they were about to walk out, but turned around and saw a huge temple in front of him. The temple was surrounded by owl statues, but in the middle of the temple was a
pond.
The pool was not filled with water, but with a liquid that exuded a psychedelic luster. Peter actually smelled a charming sweet smell in the damp and decaying underground.
He walked to the pool by accident.
Like a person who has been thirsty for a long time, Peter could hardly resist the sweet smell. He instinctively stretched out his hand to touch the psychedelic liquid.
Jerome said behind him: "Drink, you will not be thirsty after drinking."
In Wayne Manor, Schiller left the study and sneaked to the first floor. In fact, it couldn't be considered sneaky. After Alfred discovered that Schiller disappeared, he turned around and looked for the doorknob entangled in Martha's hair.
.
But after getting the door handle, he didn't stay where he was, but headed to the fourth floor. Schiller guessed that it might be because the master bedroom was on the fourth floor, but now he didn't care so much. He had to get Gordon's
Get your head back.
To be fair, Gordon is a good policeman. The main reason is that Schiller also agreed to help him recover the body of his comrade in the manor. Since he boasted about Haikou, he had to do it. Now that the body has not been found, he can only find a way to recover it first.
Get Gordon back.
Sure enough, Schiller found the headless body at the dining table in the hall on the first floor. He followed the blood trail to the stairs and found Gordon's head under the corner of the stairs. He could still blink, so he was obviously still alive.
Schiller felt something strange. Some tentacles had been stuck in Gordon's neck before, so it was not surprising that he could change bodies. But after he picked up the head, he found that there was actually nothing on the head, and there was no sign of contamination.
, then it’s quite strange that Gordon’s head can survive alone.
Schiller wanted to study it, but he didn't have time because the two figures who rushed in from the gate were none other than Jerome and Cobot.
"Something happened." Jerome's face looked a little pale, and Schiller found that the clothes on his abdomen were stained with blood. It was obvious that his desperate escape had opened his wounds.
Cobot's legs also oozed blood, and he limped even more severely when he walked. The granules also drooped for some reason.
Schiller frowned slightly, but Jerome said: "Now Jerome is in the past timeline, and it is not 20 days ago, but 20 years ago."
Schiller immediately opened his eyes. Jerome shook his head and said, "He just tried to send me a message and told me that there is a passage under Wayne Manor. We can travel through time and go back to 20 years ago along this passage."
and join them."
"I don't see the point of rendezvous now." Schiller shook his head and said, "I have to go to the fourth floor and see what Martha left in the bedroom."
Jerome and Cobot looked at each other. Seeing that they didn't want to leave, Schiller didn't feel embarrassed, but said: "You can stay here, but I have to go to the fourth floor. I want to know all this."
what is going on."
"You will have the answer." Jerome looked at Schiller and said, "We will help you lure that big head away. If you can come back alive, take the underground passage behind the big tree in the garden and come to the basement to find us."
Schiller nodded without saying anything. He came to the second floor, took out the door handle and hid in the study. His big head was quickly led to the first floor.
There were some noises outside, but Schiller didn't go out rashly. He didn't push the door open a small crack until all the sounds quieted down.
But as soon as he took a look outside, Schiller froze because Alfred's face full of tentacles was facing him.
Those guys are really unreliable!
Schiller was just about to understand all this as a trap, but he found that Alfred didn't make any move and did not attack him with his tentacles. Schiller walked out quietly, only to find that the bottom of the big head had been taken out.
There was a bloody hole, and it was obvious that something had disappeared.
Could it be that the monster residing in the big head chased them, but why did it leave its tentacles behind?
Schiller didn't think too much. He wanted to go to the fourth floor to dig for answers. He knew that in Martha's room, he could learn more about the truth.
He rushed up to the fourth floor in three steps and two steps at a time. Sure enough, Martha's bedroom was not among the doorknobs in his hand, but in the one at the end of the fourth floor.
Schiller opened the door. There was not much dust here. It seemed that someone had been cleaning it diligently. Schiller walked to the bedside and found a diary in the bedside table, but there was actually only one note in it.
"The fact that you can read this note proves that my plan is close to success."
Seeing this sentence, Schiller frowned. Martha had indeed expected it. What kind of plan did she concoct 20 years ago?
As a result, Schiller was shocked by the following sentence.
"I want to welcome the coming of the God of Darkness."
"I know that the deal between Thomas and the evil god is inevitable. I don't blame him. Everyone has an instinctive desire to survive between life and death. It would be better to say that all this is the evil god's conspiracy. He is forcing us to submit and wants to
Let's blame ourselves for the sin, but we don't."
"My only regret is that Thomas found out too late. If he could have discussed with me earlier, there might be a better solution, but at this moment we can only take a gamble."
"Thomas promised the Evil God but failed to fulfill his promise. He refused to release pollution into Gotham. However, for some reasons, the Evil God failed to take his life. We are not happy about this at all. We only feel that the Evil God will definitely be here.
Get it back somewhere else."
"When I got pregnant, I understood everything. He wanted our child, no matter what, but this."
"Fortunately, there is always a way. At this time, Thomas told me that the plan to rebuild the sewers had encountered obstacles. They discovered an incredible big thing underground. I went to visit it, and it was very amazing."
"The pool water in the mysterious ancient city made my mental state better. I thought there must be a secret in it. I didn't dare to drink it, but there was another way to get in touch with it."
"I secretly came to the hotel, mixed the mysterious pool water into the water of the rooftop swimming pool, and then jumped in. Between suffocation and hallucination, I spied a terrible secret, which came from the blood of those cultists.
.”
"The city we live in has been being polluted. This group of cultists mixed some mysterious metal into Gotham's buildings, which made everyone become cruel and crazy. This is the reason why Gotham's society is declining.
reason."
"This should have been bad news, but for us it was like a life-saving straw, because we knew that these cultists and the evil god were not the same group. They were not that difficult to deal with and would die even if they were shot."
"But the power they control cannot be underestimated. From their memories, I know that all of this is a conspiracy led by a great dark existence. We don't care at all what he wants to do. We only care that Gotham can only have
A master."
"The evil god forces us to pollute the four major families. The dark existence also wants to pollute the entire city. Let them compete. If they can fight to the death, maybe we can survive in the cracks."
"Even if my child may be contaminated by both parties at the same time, I at least gave him the freedom to choose. This is the most I can do."
"The four major families all agree with me. Obviously the evil god wants to repeat his old tricks on them. In just one week, many of their juniors encountered accidents and were entangled by the monster."
"What shocked me was that Falcone couldn't escape their hands. This old fox had ruled Gotham's underworld for most of his life. Young Thomas also suffered at his hands. We didn't understand it until then.
, the evil god is much more difficult to deal with than we thought."
"From the memories of the cultists, I learned how to make the God of Darkness descend, but unfortunately the requirements were too high, and we didn't have that much time, so we thought of a way to delay the time, as long as we could delay it for 20 more
Years later, the back-up force we have deployed is enough to save this city."
"After some discussions with them, I faced the evil god and negotiated a condition with him. Thomas and I would give up our bodies and let the evil god raise my children. At the same time, before little Bruce truly converted to him, he
Not against anyone else in Gotham."
"When I said this, the tall, dark figure kept staring at me. I couldn't see his eyes clearly, but I could see the unpredictable expression on his face beneath the hypocritical mask."
"What makes me feel desperate, but what also gives me strength is that he seems to have guessed what I will say. Everything about us is under his control. He may just like to watch these weak ants in his
Struggle under the toy.”
"I thought I would panic, but until the transaction was completed, I only felt calm. I am not sure what the future will be like, but I know that my children will not disappoint me."
