[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

Even in another parallel Gotham, strange things continue to happen, and there will be no relaxation because of the family incidents of the bat vigilantes.

People start to see hallucinations, like scumbags who suddenly see their sorry ex haunting them all the time.For example, criminals began to see people who had been hurt by them appearing around them in turn, watching their every movement without saying a word.For example, people who have mourned the loss of a loved one see their relatives and friends who were too late to say goodbye...

The number of psychiatric patients in the hospital is increasing day by day, and the more famous doctors even have to wait half a year to make an appointment for registration.Sleeping pills in pharmacies, as well as various drugs to help relieve mood or health care products with similar effects, have seen a surge in sales.

Even if there is such a huge demand in the legal market, what is even more terrifying is the businessmen who take advantage of these patients' physical and mental torture to sell them prescription drugs or simply sell drugs.Soon, hospital emergency rooms became overwhelmed with patients who overdosed, in addition to those who came in for hallucinations and stress.

The city fell into chaos within a few days, schools were forced to close, companies began to encourage employees to conduct emotional counseling, and government departments vigorously promoted the importance of mental health, but more and more people were crushed by this invisible pressure, The drug test could not find the cause, and the water source and food did not appear to be abnormal. The Gotham City Government even commissioned a laboratory to conduct air sampling. Except for the poor air quality in the industrial area, it did not show that any kind of chemical poison would cause such a problem. violent hallucinations.

This kind of clinical phenomenon is called "ghost syndrome", because patients keep seeing "ghosts", that is, people who can't speak or move, but just stare at them eeriely. It is simple, but what is worse is that some people see living people, even colleagues or neighbors they see every day, which makes them fall into a kind of madness where reality and illusion cannot be distinguished.

Batman overpowers a middle-aged woman with a kitchen knife who intends to kill her neighbor.Robin tried hard to calm down the neighbor who almost died under the kitchen knife and tell them what happened.

"I swear I don't know!" The neighbor's wife huddled in a ball and trembled, "She came to ring my doorbell by herself, and then took out a kitchen knife to kill me! I didn't do anything!"

"Okay, okay, you're safe." Robin turned sideways to let her see the prisoner who was subdued by Batman, but still looking fiercely at the terrified neighbors, "Look, Batman has controlled Stop her, she won't hurt you anymore."

The neighbor nodded and relaxed a little, but still looked around nervously because of the slightest sound.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened? Did she say anything or act strangely before attacking you?"

"I... I don't remember very clearly." The neighbor's wife covered her chest with one hand, looking shocked, "She said that she told me not to pester her anymore, and she didn't mean it. I don't understand. Although we are neighbors, we don't I come and go frequently, and it is even more impossible for me to pester her! Did she see the kind of 'ghost' that is often heard now? Am I one of her 'ghosts'?"

Robin and Batman exchanged a look, and told the neighbor's wife to go home and have a good rest. They will deal with the next procedure, and then escorted the middle-aged woman who seemed to be in a completely crazy state back to the Batmobile, and hurried back to the Batmobile. Batcave for inspection.

Even if the hospital and the laboratory say that these people are not poisoned, Batman still has to check all the data himself.

"Prepare to collect blood samples for analysis." Under Batman's instructions, Robin quickly began to help the woman draw blood for examination, and after the sampling was completed, she was transferred to the isolation room of the Batcave for observation.

Jason, who was temporarily banned from participating in the parallel universe night patrol, could only watch Batman and Robin busy, and the whole city was like a super-large mental hospital, and new patients may join at any time .

When Ye Yi came back, he was drenched, as if he had gone swimming in the river.

"Don't look at me like that. Tonight alone, three people climbed the Kane Bridge and tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river. Two were stopped, and the third..." Ye Yi gestured at his miserable state, "I'm going to take a shower first , I’m just masochistic when I come back by bike.”

The latest situation on the bat computer is even worse than what Ye Yi said, not only those who committed suicide by jumping into the river, but also those who jumped off the building, burned charcoal, and swallowed medicine to cut their wrists. More and more people can't stand the stimulation of ghosts and choose to blame themselves cut off.

Most of the suicide notes left by suicides are "Forgive me, I was wrong!" or "Dear XX, I'm here to find you, we will be together forever." There is not much emotional content Can help solve the "ghost syndrome" information.

"Have you ever considered that maybe this is not poisoning or a disease." Jason looked at these symptoms, and a thought came to his mind, "It's caused by some kind of force other than humans?"

"You mean magic?" Robin—Drake stopped the task in hand, frowned and thought about Jason's proposal, "I've never heard that magic is so contagious."

"Maybe not magic, but it's hard to say about demons and goblins." Jason shrugged, "You should go and see Solomon's totem, it's very interesting."

"It's a superstition." Batman could barely call Jason out of his mind.

Jason gave him a blank look: "Go and talk about it in front of Constantine."

"You in another universe are obsessed with metaphysics." Jason made another stab, causing Batman to shrink back in front of the Batcomputer with no expression on his face.

Jason watched Drake put the woman's blood sample into the instrument for analysis, stretched out a finger against the test tube, and silently recited his mantra for purifying Reshaw O. Gu—

"What happened?" Drake was the first to jump up because of the sudden light behind him, followed by Batman who turned from the Batcomputer, and Gray who rushed out of the shower wrapped in a towel when he heard the sound Mori.

"What did you do?" Batman quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jason's wrist, keeping him pointing at the test tube.

"I... purified that blood sample." Jason frowned at the strength of Batman's grip on his wrist, "It's kind of my signature, like your throat cancer voice, Nightwing's ass and Rob Bing's stoka ability."

Among the three people named, one touched his throat, one held his buttocks, and the third stammered that he was not Storka.

"Explain." Batman demanded with a larynx accentuated several times over.

Jason snorted and shook off the hand held by Batman, and rubbed his wrist to take the training about the big caste superficially. He didn't want Batman to harass the Daquela of this universe.He only roughly said that his purification ability can exorcise evil spirits, which is a bit like a magic stick.

"I can demonstrate it again." Jason looked at the isolation room where the woman captured tonight was kept.

She is completely a normal citizen, a housewife, and her daily entertainment is watching dramas and reading gossip websites. She has no mental illness herself, and her family has no history of hereditary mental illness.But she was harassed by "ghosts" day and night, unable to fall asleep without sleeping pills, and finally was so stressed that she tried to kill her neighbor, also known as "ghosts".

Under the watchful eyes of the bat vigilantes, Jason threw a big-caste exorcism punch at the woman. After the set of movements, the same dazzling sound and light effect appeared around the woman, and the housewife who was originally crazy and collapsed Transformed back into a harmless gossip housewife who pestered Batman for an autographed photo.

Batman in the parallel universe had to accept that his city was invaded by evil spirits, and he reluctantly invited experts in this field to visit Gotham.

For several nights after that, Gotham could occasionally see a flash of light in an apartment or a homeless man's cardboard box.

And in places where these mysterious events took place, there are almost all red hoods.

It's no secret in Gotham that the Red Hood is a wizard.

When Constantine pointed out the place where the last evil goblin was hiding, which was the long-term ward of Gotham City Hospital, Jason handsomely used a set of purification punches in front of all the medical staff to smash the opponent to pieces, instantly making the already The black death energy that was about to engulf the entire hospital dissipated without a trace, and the patients who had been suffering from hallucinations suddenly felt refreshed.

Someone picked up a mobile phone and took a picture of the moved parents holding the red hood and crying, because their children finally stopped crying and screaming when they were frightened by non-existent villains all the time.

It was at this moment that Jason felt the unusual "vibration".

In just a moment of closing his eyes and opening them, he has already arrived at the Justice League watchtower from the Gotham City Hospital. Opposite him are the Flash and Star-Lord who look tired like two dogs.

"Finally succeeded!" The Flash cried out like this, "Bat, I succeeded, please let me go!"

Xingjue bit his lip with a weather-beaten but self-sufficient appearance, put his hand on Flash's shoulder and patted lightly: "Good brother, we've made it through, good brother!"

"Yeah, yeah." The Flash sniffed. "A bat like that is horrible. I don't want to see him go into 'Bat Dad' mode again. I'll be short-lived, really short-lived."

Jason looked at the two big soldiers who seemed to have just come back alive from the killing battlefield in a daze, and he lamented the beauty of life, the warmth of the sun and the sweetness of flowers.

Batman held Groot in front of Jason with a cautious and meticulous attitude, and asked in the softest father's voice he had ever heard: "Jason, who is this?"

"Uh... is this a trap question?" Jason was suddenly a little unsure how he should answer, "Are you going to tell me that it's Groot from a parallel world?"

"I'm Groot!" (It's Jason!)

"That's right, it's me." Jason stretched out his hand to take Groot, and the little tree man happily climbed onto Jason's shoulder, hugged his neck and refused to let go, "I miss you too, cutie."

The Flash and Star-Lord had already started blowing their noses with a small handkerchief, sobbing and saying something touching.To be honest, Jason doesn't quite understand where the touching point is.

But it's good to be back, and he also successfully solved the evil goblin who was disturbing the people on the other side, which can be regarded as a perfect conclusion to a case.

Presumably the Red Hood over there will be happy when he goes back, right?

What a beautiful thing!

***

Red Hood came back to his senses and found himself standing in Gotham City Hospital in full gear. A lady hugged his thigh and refused to let go, mumbled thank you, another man looked like her Her husband, with red eyes, kept wiping away the overflowing tears with his sleeves, and said words of thanks to the red hood.

—what the hell happened?

What was even more frightening was that when he finally escaped from the hospital and wanted to investigate what happened, he found that in the entertainment program being shown on the huge TV wall in the square, the host was holding a self-made bar graph, indicating that the most popular recently The famous superhero, the reputation of Red Hood has surpassed Robin, and he is following closely behind Nightwing, and there is a tendency to lead at any time.

Not to mention the horrifying interview scene, the reporter asked the children: "Children, which hero do you want to be the most?"

"Red Hood!" The child shouted into the microphone, showing a smiling face with two missing front teeth, "I like magical boys!"

——Who will tell him what is going on with the setting of this magical boy!

——Where is the promised fierce and ruthless social person Red Hood?
