Chapter 59: Past Events
Chapter 59: Past Events
Batman got a location from Gui Naifen. According to her, it was a rare secluded place in Xianzhou, and there were even many rumors of ghosts.
"It's rare to see a foreigner interested in a place like this. Are you also a fan of ghost stories?"
The player pointed out the location of Suiyuan with a smile, so that they wouldn't have to wander around and discover some bugs that hadn't been integrated yet.
"Yes, my father and I are all fans of the supernatural. We have visited many famous haunted places in the world. We came to Luofu this time to see what kind of haunted rumors there are."
Bruce explained this, even though he just wanted to find a secluded place without surveillance, Gui Naifen directly misunderstood it as a haunted place.
"You are lucky to have run into me. Come on, I'll take you there." The fiery girl waved her hand, fully demonstrating the good virtue of her best friend Su Shang, who is willing to help others.
The player decided to be a good guy to the end and avoid these guys from causing trouble. You know, in Beloberg, Batman and Robin alone were enough to give him a headache, and now Nightwing has been added. It's really bad luck.
Player: "What do you think Aha wants to do? Watch a live-action version of Under the Red Hood?"
System: "Don't try to guess what the God of Fun is thinking. Once we put the hunting patch on, He will stop making trouble."
The player slumped in the gaming chair and fell off the chair like a puddle of mud: "I feel like my head is in a mess. Sometimes when you divide your mental energy too much, you tend to become mentally ill."
Previously, when we were in Beloberg and the space station, we could freely control the course of events. But now, if we are not careful, the AI will start to rebel (specifically Aha). Although the player does not know what Aha wants to do, the player knows what the Joker wants.
With the mentality of putting the difficult characters together, the player decided to follow the Joker's wishes and arrange them all together. So Xingcha fell freely in the air as he wished, and the only place to land was Suiyuan.
Stark held Jason and Danheng in each hand, with Huo Huo riding on his back. He picked them up before the updraft blew over and controlled the armor to land on the nearest flat ground.
"Where is this?" He looked at the gloomy courtyard. It turned out that there was such a desolate place in Luofu. He thought it was as prosperous as Xingcha Sea.
"I don't know." Jason shook his head honestly. He had only been here for a year and a half, and two-thirds of that time had been spent learning Luofu's knowledge and skills. How could he have so much free time to learn about urban legends?
He looked at the wreckage of the Star Raft that was blown up in the sky by the air current with regret. Fortunately, things like the Star Raft were insured, so his decades-long loan would not be wasted.
"I know, this is Suiyuan, the office of the Ten Kings Division. Sorry, it's best not to go in easily."
Huo Huo raised his hand to indicate that he knew.
When Stark saw the wreckage, he realized that Rofu had an excellent defense system. No wonder these Rofu people were so generous:
"Ten Kings Department? When I entered Luofu, I only heard of the Six Imperial Guards. What kind of department is this?"
Jason coughed and said, "It is a department independent of the Six Imperial Guards. Ordinary people in Luofu rarely encounter it. Anyway, since Huo Huo is from the Ten Kings Department, we will just follow his orders."
"Yes, that's right. It's a bit dangerous in here. People other than those from the Ten Kings Division had better not go in and out at will." Huo Huo nodded.
"But we can't just stay here forever. Miss Huo Huo, does the Ten Kings Division have any tools to leave?" Dan Heng asked calmly, although his palms were already covered with a thin layer of sweat.
He might not be on the wanted list of the Yunqi Army, but there would definitely be traces of Dan Feng in the records of the Ten Kings Division. He had to get rid of this trainee judge as soon as possible.
Danding Division.
Thick fog suddenly filled Taizhen's alchemy room, catching Huanlong off guard. At this time, the formation targeting the spiritual body was also activated, forcing Huanlong to give up this casually created body.
"Jingyuan!" She shouted General Luofu's name angrily, even though he never appeared in front of her from beginning to end.
Yukong pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and Pi Hou's body was shaking with joy. Her arrow was aimed directly at the floating spiritual flame, which was a small clone of the Lord of Destruction.
"Hmph, I'll just assume you win this round. Wait until my master wakes up from his slumber..." The clone was already doomed to defeat, but he still had to say the harsh words and not lose his momentum.
"Then, Emperor Bow Siming will also return. Do you dare to represent the will of destruction and declare war on the hunting patrol?"
Yukong still had the bowstring fully drawn. She responded to the provocation of the phantom clone in a deep voice. An arrow that had not been shot was far more powerful than an arrow that had been shot.
The clone fled unwillingly. After all, she was just a clone and had no qualifications to represent the original body, but she swore to make Luofu pay the price he deserved.
Captain America hurriedly rushed to Dandingsi with the President.
Although he was still a little confused when he just woke up, he understood the current situation after the captain's explanation. After all, he was a seasoned politician and did not have the courage to really go to war with Luofu, so he could only swallow the humiliation of being hit with a club.
The president took advantage of the fog and quietly walked to the end of the team.
The timing was perfect, the sky was bright, the fog dissipated, and the real leader returned to his position, regardless of the frightened leaders of the small countries.
Suiyuan.
Huo Huo hasn't come back for a long time.
Jason couldn't wait any longer. He was at an active age and didn't want to sit here doing nothing.
"How about we go in and look for it?"
He suggested tentatively.
Stark glanced at the gloomy house. As a pure materialist, he relied on the power of physics to become the most famous genius of this century, and even achieved the achievement of rubbing armor by hand.
Although his worldview has undergone several rounds of critical blows after becoming Iron Man, he still firmly believes that there are no ghosts in the world.
"Let's go, let's go." He pulled Dan Heng along.
The Joker thought this place was perfect.
The eerie and dilapidated courtyard walls, the ghostly lights floating everywhere, the bewitching voices... the last one doesn't seem to be a specialty here, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that these floating spirits can create a very beautiful environment.
You see, he has created an illusion of Gotham, waiting for the little bats to join in.
However, before the show begins, some uninvited guests still need to be cleaned up.
Gui Naifen walked while holding up her phone and started live streaming:
"My dear family, Xiao Guizi is going to the most terrifying, eerie, and ghost story-filled place in Luofu today - Suiyuan! For adventure, please bless me, everyone in the live studio!"
The quirky girl introduced to the camera various anecdotes she had heard, and combined with her dialogue skills acquired through her hard practice of counting rhymes, she startled the audience in the live broadcast room, creating a very lively atmosphere.
As for the three Batmen following behind her, they explained to the outside world that they were three ghost story enthusiasts who came to Suiyuan for an adventure together.
On the other side, Jason brought two barbarians into the other end of Suiyuan.
"Tonight for my lover--" The shrill and shrill female voice startled all three of them.
"Did you hear it? It sounded like a woman's voice." Stark rubbed the goose bumps on his arms.
Dan Heng knew that anything related to the Ten Kings Division was most likely caused by Sui Yang, but he didn't want to show it too obviously: "It could be some player left here."
Sui Yang brand memory player is praised as good by everyone who has used it.
At this point, everything that was normal suddenly turned upside down.
How strong is the Joker's mental power? No one knows the answer. His fighting power is always changing according to the screenwriter's will. In some worlds, he dies in an ordinary way, and in some worlds, he turns everything upside down.
But as the most famous villain in the Batman series and the undisputed boss of Gotham Arkham, you can say that the Joker is not good in terms of martial arts, but you cannot say that he is not smart.
He is the opposite of Batman and the fruit of dark forces. Some people say that the Joker is chaos itself.
Jason woke up in a dark alley. He felt that the place was familiar, but he had no memory of it.
Could Luofu have such a dilapidated street? There were graffiti with foul language, filthy things of unknown colors in the corners, garbage on the ground emitting a foul smell, and rats and cockroaches holding a mass meeting in the dark corners.
This is definitely not Luofu, this is where he lived before he lost his memory. He had such an understanding, but his brain still stubbornly sealed the memory and refused to reveal even a little bit.
But how did he get here? He was in Suiyuan just now... Wait, Suiyuan, Suiyang, this is an illusion created by Suiyang!
Dan Heng knocked out a gangster on the roadside casually. He was drawn into this illusion. Only by finding the owner of the illusion could he break free of it. He didn't have much time and had to wake up before the people from the Ten Kings Division found him.
He picked up a shiny flyer that lay on the ground.
Jason read the words on the flyer: "Flying...Grayson?"
Stark felt that he was just an innocent passerby who was involved, and Gotham was not his home ground, but he seemed to have heard the story of the Grayson family. Both parents died during the performance, leaving only an orphan who was adopted by Wayne.
The three met in front of the circus entrance and saw familiar faces, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you here to see the Flying Grayson show too?" a voice rang out, and a little boy in a suit waved to them happily. Given his attire, he shouldn't have lingered in front of the circus.
"Tim?" Perhaps the Bat's curriculum included bone recognition and shape identification, Jason recognized his younger brother, but why were they here?
But Tim looked at him with confusion: "Who are you? How do you know me?"
Well, the owner of the illusion is actually you. Jason looked at his cheap brother with some toothache. Is his feeling for that Dick (emphasis) so deep?
He didn't know what he was upset about, and he didn't even realize that he was unhappy. He tried to wake Tim up directly, but it didn't work at all. In the end, he could only follow the advice of Danheng and Stark and go into the circus together.
Then the younger version of Bruce came up.
"Tim! Where have you been? Didn't I tell you to stay by my side?" He scolded, giving Jason goosebumps.
Stark pulled Danheng and Jason and muttered, "So who is the master of the illusion? I remember that little Drake was not adopted by Wayne until he was a teenager."
Dan Heng: "I don't know. I'm not familiar with them."
Jason: "I don't know. I was with these guys before..."
The term "barbarian" passed through his mouth for a while, but he finally swallowed it back: "...these people have a relationship."
He concealed his true situation, and now there were two people present who had secrets.
Young Bruce enthusiastically thanked the three kind people who brought his son back. His smile was strange, like some kind of hazy mask.
They were invited to sit together, which made them discover one of the flaws in the illusion: in a normal circus with purchased tickets, seats cannot be changed at will, not to mention that they didn't even buy tickets.
But Bruce and Tim were indifferent to the flaws pointed out. They watched the circus on the stage with smiles on their faces, which made Jason have a strange guess:
"I suspect that none of them are the real masters of this illusion."
Dan Heng disagreed: "But if you look closely, you will find that everyone else around you is fake. Only these two people and us are real."
He pointed at the constantly changing faces and clothes of the NPCs in the illusion. The whole scene looked absurd and weird.
Stark put forward his own opinion: "Assuming that they are all real, it means that they are not awake at the moment, but are immersed in their own illusions - is this a serial illusion?"
If the circus illusion is regarded as the first layer, then Bruce and Tim are obviously trapped in a deeper illusion, and the owner of the surface illusion has not yet really appeared -
"The next show for everyone is - Flying Grayson! This is little Grayson's first time on stage, please look forward to this performance!"
The dancing elephants and the counting monkeys left the stage one by one, and the announcer called out the name of the next show. Stark, as the only reliable adult who remembered the accident, realized that the real owner of this illusion was Dick Grayson, Wayne's adopted eldest son.
He exchanged information with the other two.
"Listen carefully. I remember this accident. Due to a problem with the props, the Graysons died while performing the trapeze. What we need to do is to save them both."
Jason frowned and looked at the two blurry blocks of color. "Are you sure? I don't think the Graysons look like this."
The two blurred blocks of color climbed up the tall stairs, revealing the little Dick Grayson inside. The boy was obviously very excited and waved happily to the audience.
Bruce and Tim waved back.
For a moment, Jason wanted to gag to express his disgust at this disgusting thing.
What a rude and strange idea, isn't this how family members should be?
He looked at Dick, who was grinning foolishly on the stage, and found himself increasingly displeased.
Jason stood up suddenly and jumped onto the platform by stepping on the head and shoulders of the blurred block in front of him, which scared Dick.
"How did you get up here? Impossible, I'm the only one here who can..."
He didn't finish, but Jason already knew what Dick meant. Relying on Stark's spoiler, he pulled down the traction rope and threw it in front of everyone, then grabbed his collar and pulled him up:
"Are you awake or not? Don't make me slap you."
