[Comprehensive British and American] Cthulhu Summons Master

17.

Stadium roof.

"Bruce, it's been a long time since I saw you dressed like this while the sky was still bright."

Clark looked at Batman with the joy of seeing his old friend.

"We originally agreed to meet in six hours."

The meaning expressed by Batman is obvious. He is not happy with this way of meeting in advance. It can even be seen from the tight corners of his lips and the way he looks around the stadium that he is worried about the Mad Hatter who has not been caught yet. .

At the same time, on the way he came just now, he noticed a person who had been secretly monitoring recently, but due to various investigations, he did not think that the incident in the gymnasium had anything to do with her.

"I don't want to either, you know I'm just here in Gotham to report on the National League Baseball..."

With a hint of grievance in his tone, Clark spread his hands helplessly as he spoke.

"The Mad Hatter is usually only indulging in his own world. In the past, it was enough to watch him take away his favorite 'Alice', unless someone obstructed him. It is unusual for him to suddenly cause such a big commotion. "

"Then why do you think it is?"

The idea that Batman is the brain of the Justice League is by no means a rumor. Clark basically gave up the choice of thinking on his own and asked directly because he knew his friend very well.

"The Mad Hatter's trajectory this time is very different from before. I asked his doctor in charge when he was in Arkham. After several stages of treatment, he began to conduct research on the album of Alice in Wonderland. Considering that he has been in his imaginary world all year round, it is likely that that world has begun to change, and of course the prototype of the whole story line should still be Alice in Wonderland."

"In the book, Alice fell into Wonderland after chasing a rabbit..." Clark frowned slightly, recalling the Alice in Wonderland plot he had seen as a child.

"That's right, but I don't think the girls he abducted this time are his real targets. If the girls who were hung on the gymnasium before were used by him to confirm that his fairyland has really changed, then this time Now this is the rabbit."

"And what about Alice? Who is his target Alice?"

"I don't know yet." Batman finished speaking and looked into the distance with deep eyes, "but one thing is certain, to find the answer, you need to get rid of all the inherent impressions of Alice. What about you, did your super hearing hear anything? "

"Sorry, not yet."

Clark shook his head, and Batman didn't say anything more.

After a brief exchange of information, the two jumped off directly, and the other slid down with hook claws into the stadium that had been cleared to start searching for clues.

On the other side, the avenue next to the stadium.

Donna's first outing in Gotham was interrupted just like that. Orson, the person in charge of the broadcasting company, asked her and Lydia to go home first, and they received a message from the professor who got the news after they got into the taxi. Condolence message.

This reminded her of her friends in New York, and after some hesitation, she decided not to tell them that she ran into the Mad Hatter and had an explosion in Gotham. She could almost imagine Tony turning his head and saying 'I said it' that expression.

Peter and Victoria will also be worried... Anyway, she really has nothing to do, so let's not talk about it.

It may be that since getting the coins, she has seen more "big scenes". After the incident just now, Donna seemed very calm, while Lydia felt very annoyed that she couldn't go out to see Superman for herself because she twisted her ankle.

The taxi driver listened to their conversation all the way, learned of what happened in the gymnasium, and kindly gave them each a lollipop, and Don Nana got a candy from a smiling cat.

A pair of emerald-like curved smiling eyes on blue-gray piebald patterns.

The most beautiful feature was the grin with white teeth, which she knew to be the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

"May you be like the Cheshire cat and smile every day."

This is the blessing that Mr. Driver sent Don Nana when she got off the car.

Only then did she notice that the driver had been wearing a hat, the brim of which was pressed down so low that the shadow cast covered the upper half of his face.

There was a partition between the back seat and the driver before, so she didn't even notice that he was wearing a hat, and before she could see the driver's face clearly, the car drove away again.

"What a... amazing driver."

After muttering to herself, Don Nana threw the lollipop into her bag and returned to the dormitory.

There are big and small crimes happening in Gotham every day, and life is still going on. The National Baseball League was postponed for one month because of the bombing, and the venue was changed to an adjacent metropolis.

And since being interviewed by Batman at night, Don Nana has indeed restrained herself a lot, basically never going out after sunset, and has never encountered any crimes, so she has never used the power of coins.

The missing girl in the gymnasium has not been found for a long time. Looking at the Gotham police officers who were questioned by the media on TV; watching Sheriff James Gordon face the camera with long | Someone asked why Batman hadn't arrested the Mad Hatter, and Donna felt that the ice cream in her hand was no longer delicious.

It's really standard to stand and talk without back pain. Why don't these media do some positive reports and poke the backbone of the people who work hard to solve the case every day?

Silently thinking that she would never be this kind of media person in the future, Tang Nana turned off the TV, euphemistically calling it out of sight.

But there is also a trace of doubt in her heart, is it because Batman has encountered some difficulties that he has been unable to find the girl?Is there anything she can do to help?

Forget it, forget it, don't challenge the Dark Knight of Gotham anymore, if she releases those indescribable things that lose San value, she is afraid that she will be expelled from Gotham by Batman on the spot...

Because the ingredients in the refrigerator hadn't been purchased yet, and she didn't want to go out at night, Don Nana ordered a pizza delivery, so when the door was knocked, her first reaction was that her dinner was here.

She put the ice cream aside, and rushed to open the door in three steps at a time, but it wasn't the pizza delivery guy she was expecting outside, but a courier boy holding a box.

"I don't remember that I have a shipment..."

After she expressed her doubts, the courier brother looked down at the information sheet on the express.

"The addressee is Miss Donna, and this is room 603, right?"

"That's right, give it to me."

Thinking that it might be Victoria or Peter's courier, Don Nana took the courier, signed the form and returned it to the courier brother.

After closing the door again, she took out a pocket knife and cut open the express mail. Inside was an 1865 first edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

Oops, combined with current events, she has a bad premonition, and every bad premonition she has is usually terribly accurate.

Why did you find her?She took out the book and carefully flipped through it. There was a smoky pink sticky note in the book.

There is a sentence written on it in a very fairy-tale font:

【Don't you want to know why this rabbit looks at a pocket watch? 】

In the lower right corner is a cute little rabbit with a pocket watch in its hand.

After going through this series of information in her mind, Don Nana broke out in a cold sweat.

No, she's going to Batman...tell him about it.

She seems to be targeted by the Mad Hatter, although she is obviously black-haired, which is unscientific!

But where is she going to find Batman?

Donna thought of the Bat Light at the Gotham Police Station, she just had to go to the police station to call the police.

Just as she said, she immediately put on her coat, wrapped her scarf and put the note back in the book. With the book on, she planned to go out and go straight to the police station.

But when she put on her clothes and turned around, she was startled by Tavel Yat Umr (the figure on the cloud that appeared in Chapter 4) who did not know when to appear. He appeared on the wall this time.

Reflecting the lights in her room, the white veil-like robes around her were still fluttering slightly.

Under Don Nana's astonished gaze, another arch appeared beside him.

She later read a lot of books about Cthulhu Mythos. In the story about Tavel, she mentioned the existence of a door called the Silver Key Gate, but at that time the book said it was the door to the abyss.

Why is it showing up now?

Soon, Donna got the answer.

She saw a black dot emerge from the middle of the arch, and it gradually grew larger. Finally, under her eyes widening and pupils constricting, Batman was thrown out of the door and fell straight to her. bed.

That's right, that black dot is Batman! !

Fell on her bed!Wearing a black cloak, she fell face down into her little strawberry quilt...

Tavel disappeared silently after Batman was thrown out, leaving behind Don Nana who was dumbfounded by the magical scene in front of her, and Batman who was thrown dizzy and began to try to get up.

Fuck, she just thought about looking for Batman, why was Batman thrown over here? !

Normally, she never sees these old gods come true for her, so why are they so considerate this time? !

Wait, Batman seems to stand up and looks at her very unhappy, he seems very angry.

But what did Tavel do have anything to do with her Don Nana?

"Cough... Do you believe me when I say this is a misunderstanding? Although I really want to find you..."

The pale explanation has no confidence under Batman's sharp eyes, Don Nana swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva and said dryly.

"You'd better explain what happened just now, and what you said you wanted to find me."

After just getting out of the Batcave to prepare for the night patrol, he was pulled into a chaotic and dark space by a strong suction force, and then thrown into the bedroom of a certain superpower, and had an intimate relationship with the other party's girly quilt touch.

Batman, who has been 'I'm not happy' for many years, his mouth curled to a new low.

Don Nana's hair stood on end, she was terrified.

"Let me think about how to say it... First of all, it should be an old ruler named Tavel Yat Umr just now. He brought you here. I don't know the specific way he brought you here. , it may be related to that door... and he did this because I wanted to find you, because I just received a courier, which contained a book... this."

Donna held up the Alice in Wonderland, and opened the page with the post-it note under Batman's death gaze.

"Mr. Dark Knight, I won't be the next Alice, will I?"

Shrinking her neck uncomfortably in Batman's silence, she smiled awkwardly and politely, poking her head out from the side of the book she was holding to ask.

And what answered her was Batman striding closer, and the movement of him reaching for the book.

Finally, he said in a hoarse and deep voice: "Explain to me what your ability is, and from now on, you stay here and are not allowed to go anywhere."

"Okay, as ordered."

Seen by the positive A, Don Nana nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
