Constantine and Doctor Strange tossed and tossed all night, tried every relevant spell they knew, but to no avail.
It seems that the alien space that engulfed the children does not exist, everything is just their desperate imagination.
"No, I can't open it. I have no choice but to give up." Constantine said listlessly.
Batman looked away from Constantine.
"The only way at the moment is to wait until twelve o'clock today to see if I can get in." After working hard all night, Doctor Strange looked extremely tired, he sighed, and looked at Tony with eyes full of sorry.
It is well known that the longer the delay, the less likely the missing children will survive.
Tony was full of irritability and had nowhere to vent his anger. He didn't know who to be angry with.Who would have thought that such a shitty thing would happen just by coming to Gotham to participate in a knowledge competition. How should he explain to Aunt Mei if the child can't be found?
Constantine lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then slowly said: "This kind of pocket-like alien space needs certain conditions to be born, for example, there have been murders of extremely bad nature. Anyway, there is no other way now, it is better to investigate what happened around here before, maybe we can prescribe the right medicine and find a way to solve it."
"Leave it to me!" Red Robin rubbed his face, trying to wake himself up.
"Let me do it." Ye Yi put his arm around Red Robin's shoulders, and gently reminded, "You have other things to do."
Red Robin stared blankly at his elder brother for a while, remembering that there was a charity dinner at night that required President Wayne to attend and donate money.
Can you really not push it away?He puts on his own pain mask.

I thought that after a night of exercising, there was nothing to be afraid of, but at this moment, feeling the lively atmosphere around them that is no different from the real world, the high school students still felt the fear slowly permeating from the bone marrow bit by bit feel.
"What, what should I do?" Elizabeth asked with a pale face.
Don't look at the excitement during the day, it's really not necessarily safer than at night.
It's hard to tell whether you're being hunted down by scary-looking ghosts, or surrounded by a group of monsters in human skin, and you can't be sure when they're going to kill you.
Jason remembered something and opened the cabinet, only to find that it was empty at some point.
"Where's Daniel?" he asked quietly.
The others shook their heads one after another. The previous situation was too chaotic, and it was difficult to take care of a child hiding in the closet.
"Nobody's coming out of it," said Peter affirmatively. "I've been around."
"I'm not a human being, so it's normal to disappear suddenly." Yuan Chun was not very nervous, she put away her gun, "Shall I go out and have a look?"
The sound of commotion spread from far to near, and suddenly a group of people came to the yard, noisily stopping by the destroyed wall of the conference room.
The leading woman was about forty years old, wearing a slightly old-fashioned suit skirt, and her long black hair was tied up meticulously. She stared dumbfounded at the conference room that seemed to have been destroyed by a hurricane, and the anger in her eyes was burning.
"What's going on?!" The woman yelled at Yuan Chun and the others angrily, "Are you planning to rebel?!"
"Is she talking to us?" Ned whispered. "Can she see us?"
"Is there no one else?" Peter also lowered his voice and replied.
"Are we being treated as orphans here?" Elizabeth guessed.
"It's possible," Yuanchun agreed, and she patted Jason on the shoulder, "Look at this brother, with such a big bucket on his head, no one objected to it."
The high school students were amused.
Jason: "..."
Suddenly remembered that I was still angry with her, but she didn't realize it at all!
More angry!
"Ma'am, we were attacked by a big black dog, and it did all of this." Damian raised his hand suddenly, and said in a serious tone.
The others looked at him incredulously.
According to your personality, shouldn't you just draw your sword without saying a word?Give them some color and see!
Damian: ...don't use your superficial thoughts to speculate on me!
"There's a lot of lies!" The lady denied coldly, "Don't sleep at night, don't eat in the morning, destroy public facilities, disrespect teachers... Count how many rules you have violated? Go to the confinement room to receive punishment!"
Damian stared at the lady intently, so although the time was very short, he still captured the moment when the other's face changed slightly.
Seems like she knows about dogs, Damian thought, at least not everything.
A group of tall and burly security guards rushed out, held down Yuan Chun and the others, and tried to take them away.
The girls struggled in horror, Thompson screamed miserably, and waved his fists indiscriminately, trying to prevent the security guards from approaching, "Don't touch me, you demons! Let go! Let go!"
One of the security guards saw the opportunity and slashed Thompson's neck with his palm, knocking him unconscious.
"I'll go by myself." Yuanchun said to the security guard who wanted to arrest her.
The security guard was very obedient. Seeing that she didn't resist, he did follow her, so he didn't touch her again.
Others followed suit, so in the end only the unlucky Thompson was knocked out by the security guard and carried on his shoulders like a sack.
"Is he in danger?" Peter asked worriedly.
"Probably not," Yuanchun comforted in a low voice, "It seems that daytime is a safe time, as long as we don't violate the rules here, we won't be punished."
"Why are you so scared all of a sudden?" Damian asked alertly.
When beating German Shepherd, he obviously played very vigorously.
Yuanchun's eyes wandered, "Because I found that I can't use my magic power anymore."
I don’t know if it’s because of the dawn, or because of the punishment for killing her dog. The power suppressed by the ghost house on Yuanchun has become more serious. It cannot be said that the magic is completely useless, but it’s almost the same. Now she releases the power of fire magic. The power is equal to that of a lighter.If she starts fighting at this time, she can only rely on physical skills.
"But it's not a big problem, my fighting skills are pretty good." Yuanchun said seriously.
Jason was about to make a move, but when he heard the words, he silently put the knife back, and looked at him with disapproving eyes, "It's too important to talk about it earlier."
Yuanchun puffed his cheeks, "I just found out too."
# # #
After 5 minutes, the confinement room.
"I take back what I just said." Yuan Chun said expressionlessly, "There is no safe time in this ghost place."
The confinement room is very close to the meeting room, and the entrance is on the side of the staircase where Damian killed the big-headed monster.Strictly speaking, this is a basement, but it has been transformed into a dungeon.
Yes, dungeons.
Stepping on the narrow and dark steps to the bottom floor, you can see cells surrounded by iron fences on both sides of the road.The space in the cell is small|Crowded, that is, a bigger cage. With Jason's height, he can't stand up straight at all, so he can only bend slightly.
Yuanchun didn't want to go in at all, but firstly, there were too many people during the day, making exploration more difficult, and secondly, everyone stayed up all night, and the high school students with regular schedules were exhausted. Considering the current situation, it is best to Rest first and plan later.
The security guards locked everyone up and then left, not even leaving behind the gatekeepers, as if they believed in the students' self-management ability.
At that time, everyone simply thought that the punishment was confinement.
Until Sarah let out a cry of pain.
"What's wrong?" Yuanchun opened his eyes immediately.
"Okay, it looks like someone whipped me." Sarah's back was tightly pressed against the iron railing, and she looked around nervously, but saw nothing.
"Ah!" Elizabeth also exclaimed, "Me too...!"
"Ow!" It was Ned.
"Hiss!" It was Peter.
Neither Jason nor Damian said anything.
Soon Yuanchun also felt that her arm was pulled hard, and the pain was burning, which made her burst into tears.
Is it because I was whipped extraordinarily hard, or is it just me who can't bear it the most?
She rolled up her sleeves while thinking, the skin of the painful part was delicate and smooth, without any scars.
"...I really saw a ghost." Yuanchun complained.
"The rules have changed." Jason in the next cell said suddenly.
Yuanchun: "What rules?"
Jason shook the book in his hand, it was the crumbling orphanage rules they found first. "There is more content, and the consequences of violating the regulations are listed."
"Can this thing be updated automatically?" Yuan Chun realized something, "If you don't go to bed on time, you will be whipped?"
"It's simply shutting up in a small dark room," Jason turned a page of the book, "leaving the bedroom to wander around at night is to be whipped."
Yuanchun had a bad premonition, as for Dean Mary's perverted desire to control, the subsequent punishments would definitely be more severe.
She silently counted which rules she had violated, and then chose the one with the most serious circumstances, "What is the punishment for demolishing the house?"
Everyone heard the words, and invariably had a question: Is there really such a thing?
Jason: "...I'll look for it."
He searched for a long time, but he didn't see any similar clauses, only "destruction of public property" barely counted.
Jason: "The penalty for vandalism is not to eat any food for twelve hours."
"That's it." Yuanchun pressed his belly, his face was very ugly, "I feel very, very, very hungry now."
There was a fire burning in the stomach, even the air was burned dry, and finally it convulsed and contracted.This is definitely not a normal hunger pang.
"Is there any food in your bag? Eat some quickly," Jason said.
Yuan Chun opened the box of egg tarts, swallowed one at a time, and quickly wiped out the whole box.But she didn't have the slightest sense of fullness, and was still uncomfortably hungry.
"Tsk, it's useless." Yuanchun crumpled up the empty box and threw it into a corner. She closed her eyes, "No, I can't eat any more."
She couldn't determine whether the mechanism of this punishment was to directly use mysterious power to empty the food in the stomach of the person being punished, or if it simply disturbed people's perception of hunger.
If it's the former, it's okay, it's just a matter of starving for a day, if it's the latter, it's too sinister and vicious.
It is difficult for a person to maintain rationality in a state of extreme hunger. If there is enough food at hand at this time, it is likely to act like "eating all the time", and then unknowingly starve yourself to death.
"I'd better go to sleep," Yuanchun lay down directly, with the bag on his head as a pillow, and said aggrievedly, "I won't be hungry when I fall asleep."
"I'll leave it to you to keep watch, and wake me up to change shifts in two hours."
"...Sleep with you." Jason's voice sounded after a while, with a hint of secret helplessness hidden in his calm tone.
It seems that the alien space that engulfed the children does not exist, everything is just their desperate imagination.
"No, I can't open it. I have no choice but to give up." Constantine said listlessly.
Batman looked away from Constantine.
"The only way at the moment is to wait until twelve o'clock today to see if I can get in." After working hard all night, Doctor Strange looked extremely tired, he sighed, and looked at Tony with eyes full of sorry.
