Meiman: I was a policeman in Gotham

Chapter 228 Sunny Gotham

Qin Su once opened a channel connecting two multiverses on Earth Minus 11, and now he is back here again.

When Qin Su left, Gotham Port was still in the post-war reconstruction stage. When he came back, it was still a construction site, with several excavators parked not far away.

Human beings seem to have completely disappeared from this world, but the traces left by human civilization still exist, as if they will come back at any time.

"I originally thought that the Dark Multiverse would be at least literally dark," Harley said, her excitement at the beginning turned into depression now. "But it turns out the sun is so bright here that it's scary. This is Gotham!"

The pot-bellied Penguin has a different view on this: "Harry, if you can observe more carefully, I think you will be "creepy". Everything here has no shadow. This is why you feel bright. The shadow is completely Devouring, the light itself can harm ordinary people.”

Penguin opened his umbrella to protect himself from the sun: "When can we leave here? I miss my mayor's office."

Harley gently hit him on the back of the head with a baseball bat: "Be serious, old mayor, you are about to step down in one year of term, show me some backbone of an old gangster, don't let the new generation like me look down on you. "

"Qin Su goes to the Batcave to retrieve data, Orm goes to the sea to search for Atlantis, and Flash goes to the city to find survivors. The two of us just need to stay on the shore and wait for them."

Penguin looked at her askance: "Why did you drag me here? Haven't you had enough time in Arkham?"

In any time and space, even under Groudon's ability, the sky in Arkham Asylum will never be sunny. The aura here affects the sky, and it is always rainy.

Harley pushed open the large rusty iron door of the asylum and stepped on the overgrown path. There were many discarded flashlights piled next to the door.

"Have you ever heard of a song? Go home often and run into Arkham irresponsibly. There is no such opportunity in our universe."

Penguin shook his head helplessly. He still couldn't figure out why Qin Su wanted to bring Harley with him. She was normal before, but since Harley followed that strange clown, she has become more and more crazy, always going against the government.

"Slow down Harry, you have to take care of the old man."

The Penguin hurriedly followed Harley into Arkham. As soon as he stepped into the Arkham area, he felt a familiar coldness.

Strange, the shadow should have disappeared.

……

Qin Su has already been to Brucey's Bat Cave once, so he only needs to use the teleportation gun to overcome many obstacles and enter directly.

[Please verify identity information. 】

"Brucey told me that the only two ways to obtain the highest permissions on the Batcomputer are voiceprint authorization and data transfer. Let's try the first one first."

Qin Su took out the bow-tie voice changer and said in Brucie's voice: "Computer, open the parallel universe database."

[Voiceprint verification error. 】

"Looks like Brucey was kicked out of the Bat-Family. Well, I'd say that's a good idea. At least you don't have to worry about being invaded by corrupted Batmans from other universes."

Qin Su changed the voice of Earth Minus 11 female Nightwing again, and this time it was successful, and a line of text appeared on the computer screen.

[Voiceprint lock passed, welcome online, Batwoman. 】

"It seems that Nightwing took over the mantle after we left. I hope she didn't delete Brucie's database."

Like most Batmans, Brucey has also studied the theory of parallel universes and is still at the observation stage. However, what Qin Su needs is observation data. He wants the relative coordinates of other universes.

But analyzing data is not what Qin Su is good at. Fortunately, he has his grandfather with him.

Qin Su took out a virtual projector from a boxing club and put it on the ground. AI Rick appeared in the blue projection. He first touched his body and then smiled with satisfaction:

"Real physical touch, but you're still hungry? The backward simulation technology - it's really great. Now I can finally release the accumulated star rain!"

Qin Su is already exempt from Rick's style, or is used to it: "Hey, as promised, I will help you upgrade the hardware, and you will do me some small favors."

AI Rick smiled mischievously and put on virtual sunglasses: "Leave it to me. Give me permission to connect to the Internet."

Qin Su said in a cold tone: "Don't always come up with ideas for me to destroy the world. You know that I have complete control over the system, and you are also part of the system. I can give you direct orders.

But I didn't do that, and you know why, because I like Rick Sanchez, and you can't take advantage of my tolerance for you and provoke me four times! "

AI Rick's smile froze, he lowered his head, took off his sunglasses, and silently connected to the Batcomputer.

AI Rick is said to have all of Rick's wisdom, but he is just an ordinary Rick. If it is the protagonist Rick, it will be a problem who Qin Su's system listens to at this time.

With the hardware support of the boxing club, AI Rick quickly sorted out the data: "Every space data here has rules. Each universe only has a few parameters that are different. These are not observation data of parallel universes at all."

Qin Su frowned: "You mean, someone modified them, but why?"

"Because the data is out of date."

A ghostly voice sounded behind Qin Su, but Qin Su was not frightened at all. He was asking the person behind him.

"Nightwing, I knew you were still alive."

Qin Su turned around and frowned: "But I never thought that you would fall so quickly."

Nightwing put on Batwoman's equipment, but it was not the usual one, but one suitable for the deep sea. Qin Su was able to discover Nightwing because of the fishy smell wafting from the Batcave.

Nightwing held a black trident: "In order to protect the people, I needed strength, so I performed the transformation surgery."

The skin on Ye Yi's chest was exposed, as white as if it hadn't been exposed to the sun for decades. The light was dazzling, but Qin Su's eyes were not on that white and big skin.

"I don't understand. Is this the female tradition of Earth Minus 11? The equipment must expose the breasts, just like our chins there."

Qin Su's sight was further down, at Ye Yi's feet, Qin Su saw the shadow.

"You weren't swallowed by the Shadow Eater?"

Nightwing didn't answer. She walked to the Batcomputer and said, "You know something about what happened to us, but you don't know enough about it. Computer, show him the shadow hosting process."

The computer screen began to play satellite images. Playing at double speed, Qin Su could see that the earth was covered in darkness for several days.

While recruiting members of the Dark Knights, Laughter traveled to every Earth in the Dark Multiverse, leaving a Shadow Eater behind.

The Shadow Eater was only the size of a palm at first. Whenever it touched the shadow of a creature, it could absorb and grow. Soon, he grew to the size of Godzilla, which also attracted the attention of heroes such as Nightwing.

"At first, physical attacks were still effective, and magic could effectively cause damage to it. Until three days ago, it suddenly split into countless human-sized shadows and gained the speed force.

Tens of thousands of Shadow-devouring Flash Women, you can imagine how terrifying their efficiency was. The Alliance was almost wiped out instantly, and I was able to escape because I was not there. "

Qin Su disagreed with Ye Yi: "You don't have to be modest. I know very well how fast the Speed ​​Force is. Even if you are on the other side of the earth, the reaction time given to you is only a few seconds. You must have made the most correct judgment." .”

Nightwing looked dim, and she picked up a photo frame with a photo of the Bat Family on it.

"The Shadow Eater devours the shadows of creatures. The existence of shadows requires sunlight, so I immediately asked the Sea Queen to block the sunlight with heavy rain, and announced to all citizens that any form of light source was prohibited.

Includes bat light. "

In extreme darkness, fear breeds, and criminals have a weapon more dangerous than guns: flashlights.Even in the dark, the Shadow Eater will not disappear. The appearance of any light will cause the Shadow Eater to eat crazily.

"The Speed ​​Force Shadow Eater has made the land no longer safe. For this reason, I launched the national transformation plan left by Brucy. We abandoned our homes and fled to the deep sea, where there is no sunlight, only eternal darkness."

Even as laughter engulfs the universe, tragedy still happens.

"Then how did you fight off the Shadow Eaters? I didn't see them outside?"

"No, we have never fought them off." Nightwing controlled the computer to switch screens.

"They hid themselves, went into hibernation, and waited for their master's call..."

Qin Su saw the scene switch to a desolate courtyard, and the "Arkham" sign was crumbling.

"After the craziest devouring phase passed, the Shadow Eaters gathered in Arkham. Fortunately, the Shadow Eaters are not interested in technological products, so I can still monitor them."

Suddenly two shadows flashed across the surveillance screen, and Nightwing immediately switched cameras frantically. Could it be that the Shadow Eater has become active again?

But soon she found the owners of the two shadows. Nightwing's mouth twitched and pointed at the two people on the screen carrying baseball bats and holding umbrellas.

"If I guess correctly, this is the Penguin and the Joker of your universe."

Qin Su put his hands on his forehead. These two guys were asked to stay at the port and wait for others without doing anything. The result was good. Not only did they wander around, but they also wandered to the enemy's base camp.

"Nightwing...is Arkham's broadcast system still running?"

Nightwing nodded slightly: "Arkham's power system is independently powered, but Arkham's backend firewall is also functioning normally..."

"Rick, access the Arkham control terminal and obtain the highest authority."

AI Rick is chewing a virtual apple: "It's done. Look, this is Rick's efficiency. Tell me, "Grandpa is the best in the world."

Qin Su ignored AI Rick's play and broadcast directly to Arkham.

[You two, leave Arkham quickly. If you like going back so much, I will send you to live there for the first half of the year. 】

Suddenly hearing Qin Su's scolding, Harley and the Penguin shrank their necks at the same time. Harley hugged her chest guiltily: "I don't like it. It was the old Penguin who pulled me in on a whim."

The Penguin's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Harley would hit him back: "Don't you always like to do things alone and take responsibility for yourself? How come this time..."

"Because he will really send me in. I am now the best psychiatrist in Gotham. This will ruin my reputation."

"I'm still the mayor of Gotham City!"

"Tch, everyone in Old Gotham knows what kind of virtue you are."

The two of them excused each other and walked out the way they came.

"oops!"

Harley tripped over a glass bottle and almost fell down. She swung the bat and smashed it: "The weather in Arkham is as cold and humid as ever, even though it's still cloudless 100 meters away."

Cursing, Harley took out a flashlight from her pocket that she had picked up on the side of the road.

"Don't, don't turn on the flashlight!" Yeyi's eyes suddenly widened.

There was a delay in the surveillance picture. When Nightwing's words reached Harley's ears, it was too late. Harley had already turned on the flashlight.

Under the light of the flashlight, the dim lunatic asylum truly appeared in front of them, and this was what it smelled like.

Harley also told a joke that the Joker said: "Did you know that there were two mental patients, one of whom escaped from the asylum with a flashlight? Guess how they did it?"

Only then did the sound of the broadcast reach their ears.

"Ha, why? Neither of us can escape without turning on the flashlight!" Harley said confidently.

Penguin smelled a hint of danger, so he turned on the switch on his umbrella. Although he had been relegated to the second line for many years, he never stopped updating and iterating on equipment.

"Something's wrong, Harley, be alert!"

[They will not be attracted by the sound, but the light source in the dark will wake them up. Turn off the flashlight and run! 】

In the light of the flashlight, five or six shadows that looked like the Black Knight stood up, their scarlet eyes filled with the madness that Harley was all too familiar with.

"It's this perverted Batman again!"

Now Harley knows why there are so many flashlights out there. Arkham is the lair of the Shadow Eater!
Penguin reminded: "Don't point the flashlight at me. Without light, they can't eat our shadows."

Harley didn't turn off the flashlight in panic. Harley knew that losing sight of them was the real danger. She raised her baseball bat and gave the Black Knight a blow to the head as he just got up.

"Eat me a stick!"

Although Harley acts crazy, she knows when to be playful and when to be serious. This is why she can live a prosperous life in Gotham.

The Penguin wasn't watching either. He opened the rotating device of the umbrella and used the rotating umbrella to cut open the Black Knight's throat.

At first, Harley and the Penguin did have the upper hand, but they were unable to defeat the four-handed opponent with two fists. As more Shadow Eaters were awakened, they fell into a situation where they were attacked from both sides.

"Old Penguin, where is your umbrella machine gun that turns [-] times per breath! Take it out quickly!"

"No, the flames from the gun will reflect our shadows!"

At the moment of crisis, a green vortex emerged behind the two of them, and two hands grabbed their backs. After a brief feeling of weightlessness, Harley and the Penguin found that they had arrived at a great place.

"Oh oh oh! This is the Batcave!"

Harley completely forgot about the danger just now, while Penguin put away his umbrella and thanked Qin Su:

"Fortunately, you took action in time. Also, what happened to Arkham?"

Qin Su turned sideways so that Penguin could see the Batcomputer screen.

"My God!"

The well-informed Penguin looked horrified.

What covers the sky over Arkham is not a dark cloud, but a shadow tentacle extending into the universe, connecting one earth after another, forming a special circuit.

"With so many earths, doesn't that mean...!"

Qin Su nodded helplessly: "Yes, we are in the belly of a shadow-eating demon."
