Chapter 4092 MU: The Superbody Incident (169)
Batman from Arkham yelled, but it had no effect because the scene was genuinely frightening.
When surrounded by enemies, a normal person will naturally try to find a way out and escape; if there is no way out, they will adopt a defensive posture. Who would stand there dumbfounded and not move?
Of course, some ordinary people would be terrified, but the people Batman Arkham recruited were clearly not ordinary; their reactions were incredibly sharp. Constantine and Jack the Joker, in particular, are known for their heightened senses and have an exceptionally keen awareness of danger.
The moment this scene appeared before their eyes, they took off running, and Batman Arkham couldn't stop them at all.
Constantine knew absolutely nothing about Schiller, only that he had some connection with Mephisto, and nothing else. Jack knew a little more, at least he knew that Schiller had a tower, but because Schiller didn't appear much in Gotham, he didn't know the specifics. The Joker, who truly understood the structure of the tower, had become one with Pride.
Arkham Batman didn't really know much about them, but he had encountered these unlucky guys in the arena and knew their destructive power well. Especially that "Hunter," who chased him across half the continent in a previous duo dungeon, forcing him to run to the snowy mountains. In the end, they both fell into an ice crevasse, and he still had the strength to stab himself. Arkham Batman was really angry just thinking about it.
And that "manipulation," while effective in Jason's restart treatment, also terrified Jason.
Greed once mentioned that Schillers who appear somewhat insane fall into the category of "pathological," and a major characteristic of pathology is an unfocused gaze. Therefore, even without having seen others, Arkham Batman knew that he had probably stumbled into a group of pathological individuals.
Seeing his two teammates run away, Arkham Batman knew that there was no point in waiting in place. He knew very well that the Hunter's madness was gradually building up. If you didn't show him your back, you could buy him some time, but once he entered the second phase, the moment he touched his knife and the tune started, it would be an indiscriminate attack. By then, it would be too late to fix the generator.
Arkham Batman decisively chose to rescue his teammate. He lunged at Constantine, slamming him to the ground so he lay on his back. Constantine stared at him in shock.
"What are you doing?!"
"Shut up!"
Sure enough, as the two lay on the ground together, Schiller, the man in the black shirt, gradually shifted his gaze to Jack the Joker's face. Jack had run away, but unaware of what Arkham Batman and Constantine were doing, he turned back to look, and what he saw was disastrous.
A dark figure flashed behind him in an instant, and with a "thud," a knife was slashed. Jack yelled and took off running, but the guy was behind him again. This time, Jack ducked and narrowly dodged the knife, but fell to the ground in a very sorry state.
Batman Arkham was also stunned, because the chase had just happened in a flash; he hadn't seen the trajectory at all, as if he had teleported directly behind Jack—good heavens, The Flash Schiller?!
"God! Look what you've done!!!" Arkham Batman roared inwardly.
Batman from Arkham knew he couldn't let things continue like this. If it were just a regular hunt, Jack wouldn't be too afraid, since he had superhuman regenerative abilities and taking a few hits wouldn't be a big deal. He could subdue the hunter while it was killing him.
But that's probably not going to work now. It's not just about taking a few cuts anymore; at the current hunting speed, he could probably chop Jack into mincemeat. If he doesn't lure the others over soon, they'll suffer casualties right from the start.
So Arkham Batman yelled at Jack, "Lie down and don't move!"
Jack had already fallen to the ground, but he rolled over and landed on his back. At the same time, Batman from Arkham deliberately turned his back to the Hunter, allowing Jack, who was almost stabbed through the heart by the Hunter, to escape.
But the next second, the Hunter reappeared behind Arkham Batman. Now Arkham Batman was certain: he definitely didn't run over; he flashed over like the Flash.
The instant the hunter raised his knife, Arkham Batman quickly turned around, grabbed his wrist, and slammed him to the side. But his grip suddenly loosened, and the man vanished in an instant.
Batman from Arkham immediately realized: this was not the real Hunt, but rather a phantom from the agent's nightmare. It possessed some of the Hunt's characteristics, but also had many abilities that the Hunt lacked, such as high-speed teleportation and sudden disappearance.
Fortunately, it didn't reappear after disappearing. Before Arkham Batman could even breathe a sigh of relief, a scream came from Constantine's direction. He turned his head and saw a half-length-haired figure holding a shark knife kneeling beside Constantine, reaching into Constantine's chest and snapping one of his ribs.
Batman from Arkham rushed over, about to reach out to stop him, when suddenly his mind went blank, followed by a lot of noise, and then a series of images:
The Joker speaks in his head, Jason is tied to a chair and covered in bruises, and the Robins' identities are revealed...
Batman from Arkham seems to be simultaneously transported into many different nightmares, and in each one, he sees the same man with white sideburns and a floral suit. Sometimes he's a doctor, sometimes a therapist, and sometimes just a passerby crossing the street...
But those unfocused gray eyes were always fixed on Batman Arkham, and that look made him feel very uncomfortable, chilled him to the bone, and made him desperately want to escape.
More details began to emerge, from life-or-death matters to trivial matters in daily life, even the image of accidentally soiling his father's clothes when he was a child. These images began to appear in his mind, and an inexplicable sense of guilt welled up inside him.
Batman from Arkham quickly shook his head, trying to get rid of those images and concentrate, only to be met with a flash of light that nearly cleaved him in two.
He saw a teenager wearing a mental hospital gown and a mask, holding a long knife. The teenager charged again, and Arkham Batman, relying on his metal arm armor, raised his arms to block, only to feel as if he had crashed into a train and was sent flying.
Before he could even land, his opponent unleashed a flurry of attacks. Arkham Batman struggled to adjust his landing posture, barely managing to dodge the final downward slash. Well, well, so even I get caught in a mid-air combo.
This guy's strength is abnormally high. Logically speaking, it's impossible for someone of this size to knock him away. But since both the hunting and manipulation have mutated, one more won't make a difference.
Batman in Arkham has realized that the phantoms in his nightmares might be stronger than those in reality, because the real Schiller doesn't have superpowers. If anything, he's just stronger when provoked and has a psychoanalytic method that seems to be mind-reading.
But the ones in front of us now clearly all have superpowers: the hunter can teleport, the manipulator can interfere with minds, the one with medium-length hair is doing something I don't know, but he can open a person's chest cavity in a dozen seconds, so he's not a normal person either, and the one in the hospital gown has extraordinary strength.
Batman Arkham got up from the ground, took a deep breath, and decided to deal with this guy who was all strength. But just as he clapped his hands, he suddenly felt weak.
It was a long-lost pain. Arkham Batman remembered that when Jason first disappeared, he searched for him day and night, and probably only drank some water for five or six days.
When he finally collapsed onto the bed, a terrible feeling came from his body, as if his internal organs had suddenly come to life and were squeezing and jostling inside his abdominal cavity, causing his entire abdomen and chest to ache.
That same feeling of weakness almost overwhelmed him. Looking back now, Batman Arkham feels that those were among the few moments when his willpower was about to crumble.
Fortunately, Alfred brought over the cakes in time. For the first time, Arkham Batman didn't care about his table manners in front of the old butler. He practically wolfed down the cakes, one after another, drank a pot of latte, and even went downstairs to the refrigerator to eat two slices of pizza that Alfred had frozen, a piece of Parmesan cheese that was as hard as a rock, two avocados, and a whole artichoke.
Later, he realized that feeling was extreme hunger.
Now the same feeling is back. Batman in Arkham is facing another moment when his willpower is about to be broken. There are only a few things in this world that Batman cannot overcome through willpower alone: suffocation, dehydration, and hunger.
Turning his head, Arkham Batman saw the one with the napkin, and his previously unfocused gaze gradually began to refocus.
Very well, as a tactical mastermind, Arkham Batman already knows how to fight—what's the point of fighting, just run!
Batman from Arkham scrambled Constantine to his feet, grabbed Jack with his other hand, and ran off in the pitch black, choosing a random direction. As they ran, the light gradually came on ahead.
Batman from Arkham slammed on the brakes and found himself standing on the rooftop of a tall building. He had reached the very edge of the roof, but there was no street below. Less than a meter away stood another identical gray building. Looking around, the entire world consisted of these closely packed gray buildings, the gaps between them like abysses, pitch black, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
Some buildings appear to have been destroyed, but the exposed interiors are unfinished, all identical gray rooms with intertwined steel bars in the collapsed walls.
"Who are you?!" a surprised voice came from the side. Arkham Batman turned around and saw the agents, who seemed very shocked, wondering where so many people had suddenly appeared from.
Just as Batman was about to explain, a dark figure appeared behind the agent, and he quickly changed his words to a warning: "Watch out behind you!"
The detective quickly bent down to dodge the hunter's knife, turned around and tripped him with a whip kick, then ran quickly towards them.
"Damn it, you brought the pursuers here!" the agent roared at him. "Where did you come from?!"
You could tell how frantic Batman was from his tone, but with people chasing him, all he could do was run and say, "This isn't the real world, this is a dream."
"Of course I know this is a dream!"
"how do you know?!"
"Otherwise, how could I possibly fly?!"
When Batman from Arkham turned around, the agent was actually flying in the sky.
