The feasibility of working the night shift in Gotham

Night, Wayne Manor.

The black thin was held tightly by the man unconsciously, he seemed to be having some kind of nightmare, the muscles on his arms and back were constantly bulging.The sound of the man pounding on the bed alarmed the creatures sleeping not far from him.

The green animal pupils lit up in the dark night, and the awakened cat stretched its body in dissatisfaction. Seeing the sleeping man in front of him turning over and over again, it slowly paced in front of the man, the left hand of the white glove The claws reached for the man's cheek.

"Meow!"

The cat's cry of pain and dissatisfaction resounded throughout the room, and its hind legs kept moving backwards, trying to free its left paw from the Twolegs' imprisonment.

The cat's meow woke the man up, he gasped, his blue eyes were full of blankness, he let go of the cat's front paw, he looked at the black cat in front of him and called out tentatively.

"Jason?"

Responding to him was still the dissatisfied cry of the cat, and Bruce finally noticed that the cat's eyes were not the blue color that Jason brought when he possessed him, and he was enveloped in a sense of loss at this moment.

Bruce dragged the thick pillows and folded them layer by layer behind him. Regardless of the cat's still struggling, he hugged the cat into his arms and rubbed it along the hair on its back until the cat made a satisfied purr from its throat.

"You know what? Cat." Bruce said to himself while stroking the cat, "I had a nightmare, but...it doesn't seem like a nightmare."

"I saw Jason." The corner of his mouth curved slightly.

"mum."

"Yes it was him, the one who borrowed your body. He disappeared after that text message until a year later when I saw my son again in a dream."

The faint smile disappeared on Bruce's face, replaced by a deeper bitterness, his hand stroking the cat gradually stopped. Amidst the cat's incomprehensible meows and, he hugged the cat and closed his eyes Let your body fall backwards.

"I watched him disappear before my eyes again."

It was a weird dream, in front of the dream was in a hospital, there was a weird painting at the far end of the hospital corridor.

"It was like Arkham Asylum," Bruce recalls.

Depressed, dark, crazy.

A patient in a restraint suit was screaming non-stop in the ward inside the window, hitting the wall with his body.Their disorderly and crazy cries were as piercing as wild beasts, resounding around and making people shudder.

But what is even more frightening is the unknown, the unknown monster, Bruce, not even Batman has ever seen such a monster.

"Run, you two! Don't look back, the empty ghost is coming soon! Anyone caught by it will be trapped in a different space forever!"

It was Constantine who had been missing for a long time. He was yelling back at someone, the blood on his forehead stained his blond hair, turned around and said to the woman running in front, "Xiao Zha, the dagger in the drawer , Sarah Hawkins' painting is the anchor point! Those monsters who break through the painting will be forcibly taken back!"

Zatanna's favorite dress was full of dirt at the moment, she didn't care about all this, and ran to the front counter with all hands and feet.

"No, no, no!" Zatanna opened the empty drawer and said angrily, "The dagger was taken away, those damn believers!"

"I have a wooden warehouse." It was Anyang's voice, followed by non-stop gunshots, and Bruce knew whose eyes he was looking at everything.

The perspective in front of him suddenly changed, and it was a mental ward.

"What happened? Jason? Zatana, where are you!" Anyang's doubtful voice sounded, and then her voice was full of fear, and her eyes focused on a certain place.

At the same time, a green liquid mist was sprayed from the pipes in the room.

"Jason, Jason!" The straitjacket restricted Anyang's behavior but could not restrict her movement. She slammed on the iron door frantically and stared at the opposite side of the small window.

In the dream, Bruce's perspective connects with her again.

In the room opposite the iron window, a green liquid was also floating out of the pipe, and Jason stopped banging on the door.

"There's something in this liquid that's pulling me, and someone is calling my name." Jason raised his hand blankly, watching the skin in contact with the green liquid disappear in the air, his eyes became Sluggishly, he murmured and repeated a sentence, "I have to go."

"What? I don't understand what you're talking about! Your body is disappearing... No, no! Don't leave me!" Amidst Anyang's cry, the opposite room where the fog slowly dissipated was empty.

The picture continued to change, it was a dark and dilapidated study room.

Zatanna, who finished the last stroke of the magic circle, was still a little hesitant. She looked at Anyang who was sitting in the circle, "Are you sure? This may not be successful, but it will drain your last bit of mana. You can't do it later." actions to protect yourself."

"Maybe this is our last chance to ask for help." Konstantin leaned in the corner, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, and his face was obscured by the smoke he exhaled, making it difficult to see clearly, "Just listen to her Yes, Xiao Zha."

Zatanna finally agreed, and she lit the last candle on the magic circle.

"I wish you could see all of this, Bruce, if only part of it."

The picture ushered in the last change, here is an altar.

"This is the end, Pierce." An Yang stretched out his hand to the man in front of him, "This time the God of Death will take you away completely, I will make this end, and you will rest in peace."

"It's too late, no one can escape here, haven't you noticed yet? Someone pulled you into this conspiracy." The man named Pierce said, his hair was disheveled on his thin and haggard face, Desperate eyes flashed across the men and women standing aside, and finally stayed on Anyang, "Your boy disappeared?"

"But don't worry. Those diluted Dionysus pool water will bring him into the next cycle ahead of time, and so will we." Pierce slumped on the ground, pointed the gun at his chin, and closed his eyes, "You don't need to come Hands down, I've done it many times. Soon we'll meet again."

The familiar feeling of tearing did not come, and the bullet was sent elsewhere through the orange magic circle.

The unexpected fourth person appeared on the scene, and the red cloak behind him was rattled by the sea breeze.

"Doctor?! Is he there too?" Bruce jerked up from the bed, it was a dream within a dream.

"What doctor do you want to see?" Ah Fu stood by the bed in surprise, but as the housekeeper of the Wayne family, he always had the ability to keep things calm.

He first walked to the window, opened the curtains regardless of Bruce's obstruction, and then raised his eyebrows to watch Bruce keep covering his face and stepping back, even attempting to cover his face with the quilt.

"I think you haven't completely degenerated into a nocturnal creature yet, so you should get up and meet with some shareholders of Wayne Group."

"No, Batman doesn't need to listen to their nonsense, if he has to go, let his assistant go." Bruce picked up the cat and put it on his face as a blindfold, "Tim is the president now, if you can't, call Dick. ..you see, the cat agrees."

"With all due respect, sir, Master Tim is the acting president, and he is currently in the branch office in New York. According to the schedule, the meeting he presides over has already begun. Master Dick, his first patrol in the morning has already ended. In contrast, someone is lying in bed."

"I can call the NYC and Broughhaven police and have Clark pick them up, and the Daily Planet is mine anyway. He doesn't have to worry about full attendance. I wish I had someone else to help me with the company .”

The old butler ruthlessly took off Bruce's 'blindfold' and hugged him in his arms, staring coldly at Brucey who was still trying to act like a baby until Bruce resigned himself to his fate and sat up on the bed.

"As a cat owner, you should give him a name, not just call him cat."

Bruce tentatively said, "How about Ace 2...?"

"Your ability to name has successfully convinced me. I think it's better to call it cat for the time being." Afu bent down and released the cat in his arms, and continued to ask Bruce, "What doctor were you talking about just now?"

"Did Mr. Nelson (Dr. Fate) finally have news about Master Jason and Miss An?"

"No, he hasn't believed it yet, I just had a dream, dreaming about Strange and Xiao Zha..." Bruce wasn't sure if he wanted to tell Ah Fu about the rest of the dream.

He hesitated, "And Jason and Ann, they are on Blackwater Island."

"Are they coming back?"

Afu didn't pay much attention to Bruce's tone. He also read Jason's text message, which contained exciting news. The two said that they had met the Wayne couple and would go to Blackwater Island with their help. Bring out Constantine and Zatanna.And when they come back, Anyang will let all of them meet in their dreams.In this regard, Dick confirmed Anyang's ability, saying that he had met his parents several times.

Afu has always been looking forward to it. He loves Bruce and treats him as his own child, but in his eyes, the Wayne couple are Bruce's real parents. It is also his hope to see them reunite in his lifetime.

"...I'll pick them up again, Fu."

"This is a good decision, sir. By the way, a letter was sent to the manor this morning." Afu took out a letter from his clothes and handed it to Bruce.

"Who sent it?"

Ah Fu's tone was a bit dignified, "It's Gotham's newcomer these days—Red Hood."

"He wants you to stop by his 'newly renovated' Iceberg restaurant."

Bruce paused when he opened the letter, "Bruce Wayne may not go, but Batman will definitely go."
