[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

The dream stone has the power to pull everyone into a dream.

After superimposing the influence of creation energy fragments, the dream created by the dream stone will turn into a lucid dream. Everyone is awake, and everyone is in a dream. They don't know that they are in a dream, and they live and act as usual. Unknowingly, I move closer to what I desire most in my heart.

The deeper the obsession, the greater the change.

For example Damian.

He wanted to be recognized by his father, so in the lucid dream, his words, deeds, behavior and even his thinking pattern began to be infinitely close to Dick - the closest he knew to the image of a son recognized by his father.

Another example is pots.

It wants to be a veritable Robin, so in lucid dreams, it fulfills its wish to be active as a Robin with other Robins.

Another example...

Batman is also affected by lucid dreams.

But his willpower is too strong, even if he is in a lucid dream, the power of his demons is only amplified and his self-awareness is weakened.

As for the clown—

He, favored by the "crazy" of the endless family, may be the only one who has not been involved in this lucid dream that enveloped the entire Gotham from the beginning to the end.

But compared to destroying dreams, the Joker is obviously more interested in Batman, who is tortured by demons due to lucid dreams.

But he also got one thing wrong.

He thought I was the one responsible for dragging the whole of Gotham into a lucid dream.

That's why he warned me again and again: "B is mine!"

After sorting out his thoughts, Matthew started to act.

He first came outside the clown's ward, and said to the clown through the crack of the door: "I want to talk to you."

"Talk about?"

Mo Mei's interest lit up in the clown's eyes.

"Yes, I want to talk to you."

Matthew said frankly: "I already know your reasons for targeting me, and now I want to tell you that it is not me who dragged the entire Gotham into a dream. I came to Arkham to restore Gotham to its original state."

"You long for my help?"

The clown narrowed his eyes.

He is Gotham's craziest criminal and also its most patient hunter.

As long as Matthew shows a slight flaw, he will—

"You are wrong. I am not eager for your help. I just ask you to help me. Of course, you can refuse. This is a request, not an order."

Matthew said, "Plus, I've got a promise of Batman's assistance."

"Since you got B's help, why are you still looking for me?"

The clown grinned, showing his shark-like teeth.

Matthew: "Because I know you won't refuse my request."

"Uh..." For a long time——

"When you and Batman act, I will stay in Arkham, be quiet, and do nothing unnecessary."

"Thanks--"

"In exchange, after liberating Gotham from the dreamland, you will do one thing for me."

"what's up?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, but you must agree to my request now."

The clown gave a sly smile.

This is a trap.

A near-death trap.

Do you dare to accept my request?

"no problem."

Matthew replied without thinking, and then left.

The clown in the dark greedily recalled the moment of confrontation with Matthew, his mouth was dry with excitement.

……

After agreeing with the clown, Matthew immediately found the magician Zatana in the name of John Constantine.

"Miss Zatanna, I have something to tell you right away."

"what's up?"

"About Gotham..." Matthew said, "The entire Gotham City is under the control of higher magical powers."

"Higher magical power..."

Zatanna, who really felt faint traces of magic during her time in Gotham City, looked at the young man seriously: "Since when did you find out..."

"Discovered shortly after arriving in Gotham."

Matthew continued his speaking style of mixed truth and falsehood: "In fact, when I received Arkham's employment invitation, I realized that this job opportunity came with unexpected troubles."

"But you're still in Gotham."

"Because there's Batman here, and you're Batman's best friend."

"You don't hate me?"

"If I had to hate every man or woman or even non-human being related to John Constantine just because I was blood related to him to prove my loyalty and love to the mother I have never met, then I will spend my life I don’t have time to think about my own affairs.”

Matthew answered frankly.

After all, John Constantine is a super-scumbag with a reputation in both wizarding and superhero circles.

Zatanna was startled by Matthew's magnanimity, and she was stunned for a few seconds before recovering: "You seek my help?"

"I need you to help me convince Batman..." Matthew said, "Right now, the entire Gotham City is under the influence of lucid dreams created by high-level magical powers. The only person who is not affected is the Joker, but you know I can't Ask the clown for help."

"really……"

"Batman is also affected by lucid dreams. Fortunately, his willpower is strong enough and the impact is relatively small..." Matthew said, "If you have won his trust, you should be able to make him sleep even if he is in a dream. And give me the necessary help."

"You intend to destroy... the lucid dream..."

"To be precise, please ask a powerful existence that I summoned to devour the lucid dreams that enveloped Gotham." Matthew said, "All we need to do is to find the source of the dreams."

"You really..."

Zatanna, who mistakenly thought that Matthew had taken the path of black magic like his biological father, let out a long sigh.

She patted Matthew's shoulder painfully, and said, "Magic can indeed make most difficult things easier, but magic out of control will also take away everything from you and make you fall into the endless abyss."

"I know, I will take care of myself."

……

After Matthew left, Zatanna immediately found Batman and informed the fact that the entire Gotham City was under the control of lucid dreams created by high-level magical powers.

"Only the clown is fully conscious at the moment," Zatanna said.

"I'm in a dream too?"

"Yes, you are in the dream too."

Zatanna's answer made Batman feel a lot of anxiety, and then his palms began to sweat coldly, and his breathing became short of breath.

Recently, he has often felt that he is a little different from the past, and everything around him is subtly dislocated, but—but he can’t remember where the subtleties are—every time he vaguely wants to capture something, the information They all slip through your fingers like air.

Now, after hearing Zatanna's words, Batman's eyes suddenly brightened.

He finally captures the subtle roots.

Immediately afterwards, even greater troubles came to my mind.

"Where is the source of the dream? Is it man-made or purely accidental?"

"I don't know..." Zatanna said, "I just know that Gotham City is haunted by lucid dreams, the Joker remains fully awake, and you are slightly affected."

"other people--"

"All are deeply affected..." Zatanna paused, "Including Guanluo."

"Can Luo also..."

The body of Can Luo is Staro the Conqueror. Staro is good at mind control, and can pull all the life forms possessed by it into its ocean of consciousness and become puppets manipulated by it.

Such a powerful life would be affected by the magical power that enveloped Gotham City, which was seriously beyond Batman's expectations.

"That is to say, besides the clown and me, there are no sober people in Gotham City?"

"Nor...not..."

Zatanna hesitated: "It may be because of the magical blood of John Constantine, Matthew has recovered, he is in the Arkham Asylum...he can be your companion...in fact, he went to Arkham to do The psychiatrist is trying to solve this problem, he thinks that the source of the anomaly lies in Arkham..."

"Matthew..."

Batman quickly recalled the information on Matthew Fast Constantine.

"I see, I will contact him immediately, hoping that he has found the real source of the anomaly."

"I will do my best to help you, although after entering Gotham, I will inevitably be involved in lucid dreams."

……

The lucid dream that envelops the entire Gotham City created by the dream stone superimposed with fragments of creation energy is a more powerful trouble than Matthew expected. In hell, you will definitely fall into a lucid dream unknowingly shortly after entering the city, and be unaware of it.

Luckily, Gotham has Batman.

Even under the influence of lucid dreams, Batman still maintains a strong ego.

I hope this incident can be resolved smoothly with the help of Batman.

Matthew in front of the window sill wiped out the cigarette butts.

The devil's blood from John Constantine made his body crave tobacco instinctively, although not as crazy and unrestrained as thirty cigarettes a day.
