Chapter 1146
Clark, holding the Bat-Cat, walked on the streets of Cat Getan. He sighed gently and said:
"Alright, I can understand that they don't want a Metropolis person to participate in a local murder case. It hinders their city's reputation. But I feel that I'm not completely unable to help. In case the murderer is too cruel, I can help them knock him out."
"Actually, they just dislike that you don't know how to deduce." The Bat-Cat spoke up: "And, you have no idea at all about the way those lunatics do things."
"What is there to figure out about this?" Clark shook his head and said: "Find the murderer and knock him out with one punch. Does this require any complicated operations?"
"How come you still don't understand? Cat Getan is actually a playground for lunatics. Everyone here is addicted to these crazy and bizarre cases, enjoying the process of solving them. It's as if everyone knows that the carousel is just spinning in place, but there are still plenty of people willing to pay for a ticket to ride it."
Clark shook his head in disapproval and said: "They are also too troublesome. The murderer comes up with a series of complex plans to commit crimes, and the police and detectives also come up with a series of plans to crack them. Why can't they think about things more simply?"
"If they were all like Metropolis people, simple-minded and easily satisfied, Cat Getan wouldn't be what it is today." The Bat-Cat commented.
"Forget it. Professor Schiller called me earlier, saying he opened a new bookstore. I'll go there and look around. It just so happens that a colleague of mine has a birthday next month, and a hardcover book should be a good gift."
Clark quickened his pace, followed the address Schiller told him when he called earlier, passed through Cat Getan's central roundabout, and turned into one of the commercial streets.
Just after entering this street, Clark was stunned for a moment. He heard the sounds of fighting and the sound of items being broken, but he didn't see the figures of robbers, nor did he see the flash of gunfire.
Clark didn't have spirit world vision, nor did he know magic, so he couldn't see the magnificent scene of mages fighting with magic. But his hearing and touch were far superior to ordinary people, and he felt from a long distance away that someone was fighting.
The Bat-Cat was a product of the Dream of a Thousand Cats. It didn't need spirit world vision to be able to directly see the effects of spells. When Clark was running while holding it, it shouted: "Those are mages, they are using magic to fight."
"Then how am I supposed to deal with them?"
"Give them a punch."
"Bang!"
Zatanna, holding a magical shield, slowly turned her head and looked at a mage who had flown to her side. He had indeed flown over from mid-air, but he hadn't flown over voluntarily.
The moment Clark appeared at the entrance, besides knocking one of the mages away, the Bat-Cat directly darted out of his arms, jumped onto another mage's face, and gave this mage's eyes a fierce clawing.
Discovering that he was being attacked by an enemy from behind, the black-robed mage leader standing at the very front also reacted very quickly. He immediately used a teleportation spell, distanced himself from Clark, and at the same time, condensed a cluster of brilliant magical radiance in his hand.
Zatanna widened her eyes, stepped forward with a solemn expression, stretched out both hands, and with a "swish," a magical wall appeared in front of her. At the same time, she shouted at Clark: "He's going to create an explosion, dodge quickly!"
"Boom!"
The brilliant radiance suddenly erupted with a violent shockwave, carrying the shattered fragments, and swept across the entire room. Except for the part blocked behind Zatanna's magical wall, other places were subjected to violent impact.
After the radiance gradually dissipated, the mage who used magic didn't use the impact brought by the explosion to escape, because he felt that the impact of this explosion was enough to deal with the vast majority of creatures in the human world.
But when the smoke and dust dissipated, what appeared in front of him was a fist the size of a sandbag. Clark knocked the mage to the ground with one punch.
At this time, he heard strange sounds coming from behind him. "Hissing" gasping sounds came continuously, accompanied by some vibrations. But because Clark didn't understand magic, he didn't realize that this was a sign of a magic array being activated.
Zatanna took a magician's conductor's wand out of her top hat, tapped lightly behind Clark, and a stream of light flew out. The female mage who was condensing the magic array flew backward.
The black-robed female mage smashed heavily onto the door frame of the bookstore's entrance. When her hood fell, she revealed an extremely aged face, but judging from her neck and fingers, her age was actually not great; it was just that her face had turned into the appearance of an old crone.
The female mage stared fiercely at Zatanna, the jealousy and anger in her eyes as if they were about to swallow her whole. But then, she began to laugh crazily again and shouted: "Zatanna! You can't escape! And Constantine, we have long made a deal with Gabriel. He will come personally to capture the wanted criminals of the magical world!"
"Do you think the wand I just activated was for summoning demons? I wouldn't pay such a huge price to summon a weak demon. What is about to descend here is the great Archangel—Gabriel!"
Clark looked at this female mage with some surprise and said: "What did you say? Who is going to descend here?"
"You damn monster!
" The female mage cursed: "You Gothamites are all a bunch of monsters, unreasonable lunatics! The radiance of the Archangel will descend from heaven and purify everything!"
Accompanied by her high-pitched shouting entering the sky, a bright radiance was cast down from the clouds... cast down from the clouds... from...
Clark walked outside the bookstore, raised his head to look at the dark clouds over Cat Getan, which opened a crack for a while, then closed again, then opened a crack again, then closed again.
Clark, while tilting his head, scratched the Bat-Cat's head and said: "What's going on? Is this some strange optical phenomenon?"
Zatanna also walked out. She also raised her head and glanced at the dark clouds in the sky that were constantly opening and closing. The magician lady scratched her head with her wand and then said: "I felt Gabriel's aura. He seems to be above the clouds. Why doesn't he come down?"
The Bat-Cat in her arms sighed deeply and said: "Does he have to split the clouds first before he can come down?"
Clark and Zatanna stood shoulder to shoulder. After a while, the number of people standing side by side in front of the bookstore entrance became four adults and one child, plus one cat, all looking up in unison at the optical performance in the sky.
Clark opened his mouth with some hesitation and said: "Could it be that he... can't split these clouds?"
"I think you should go up and help him." The Bat-Cat looked up at him and said: "Otherwise, are we just going to stand here and watch him perform?"
Clark thought about it and felt that what the Bat-Cat said made sense. So, he threw the bag on his shoulder to Zatanna next to him, and then stuffed the Bat-Cat into Schiller's arms.
Except for Schiller, the other few people didn't know what Clark was going to do. Then, in their shocked gaze, Clark took off from where he stood and directly rushed into the clouds.
Harley's mouth opened so wide that her chin was almost falling off. But next, an even more shocking scene occurred. A figure with snow-white wings flew out from the clouds. Clearly, he hadn't flown out voluntarily either.
Clark, flying in mid-air, followed closely behind, punch after punch after punch. The huge snow-white wings were beaten until feathers flew everywhere. Clark threw an uppercut, flicked the angel with wings into the air, and then held his arms high, smashing down fiercely with his elbows.
"Boom!
"
Thomas, Zatanna, Schiller, and Harley looked down at the unlucky angel in the center of the huge pit and Clark who had just stood up.
Clark shrugged his shoulders and said: "These days, anyone dares to impersonate an angel."
After finishing, he looked back at the smoking angel in the pit and said with some disdain: "Even if you want to impersonate an angel, you have to arrange a more magnificent entrance, right? When an angel descends to earth, how could he be blocked by dark clouds?"
Clark, while shaking his head, walked out of that huge pit, seemingly not understanding the other party's actions. And a few seconds later, the angel in the pit coughed vigorously twice, spat out a mouthful of smoke, and staggered to his feet from the pit.
Schiller blocked his eyes with his hand, wanting to see the angel's appearance clearly to judge which version of Gabriel this was. But before he could see clearly, a burst of urgent braking sounds came from the street corner.
"Screech!
A pitch-black sports car with a very cool design sped over from the street corner. When drifting around the corner, the tires rubbed against the ground, making an extremely harsh sound, and at the same time, black smoke rose.
From the Bat-symbol on the car's hood, it could be seen that this was the Batmobile belonging to Batman. But at this moment, the person driving wasn't Batman, but a child, and sitting in the passenger seat was another child.
Behind the Batmobile, there was another car, also driving very fast, chasing behind the Batmobile. The person driving this sports car had his face wrapped in bandages, but from his eyes exposed outside, it could be clearly seen that his expression was ferocious and very angry.
"Get out of the way!
" Jason poked his head out from the passenger seat and shouted.
"Tim! Brake!" Batman's cape fluttered high. He jumped down from the top of the building, swung up with a high-lock, and arrived on top of the Batmobile.
"I don't know how to brake!
" Tim shouted loudly.
Tim looked left and right at the Batmobile's control panel. Jason just wanted to reach out to stop his action, but Tim directly found a button he thought looked the most pleasing to the eye and hammered down on it hard.
Instantly, the Batmobile went out of control. The car body made a turn, hit the street lamp pole next to it, and flew out while spinning.
Seeing such a large car flying toward his direction, Zatanna widened her eyes, waved her wand, and was about to teleport.
Fortunately, she remembered that there were still several ordinary people around her. When the magical radiance lit up, Thomas, Schiller, and Harley, who were closest to her, were all taken by her to the roof of the building next door.
The angel in the pit on the road had just climbed up when he saw an out-of-control black car crashing toward him. He waved his wings with some disdain, wanting to fan this car away, but the next second, he was directly hit and flew out.
After Batman landed, he did a roll, and his voice sounded inside the Batmobile: "Hold on tight! Prepare for ejection!"
Tim and Jason sitting in the front row, and Dick and Aisha sitting in the back seat, all grabbed their seatbelts tightly. Accompanied by the sound of mechanical friction, the sunroof on top of the Batmobile opened. Batman pressed the button on his arm, and with four "whoosh" sounds, the seats were ejected forward and backward.
All seats had safety protection devices, therefore. When Dick and Tim's seats landed, except for making them start dry-heaving after crawling out, it didn't cause them any harm.
When Jason's seat was ejected, it just happened to hit a street lamp pole on the side of the road. It crashed directly into the storefront of the bookstore on the side of the road, shattered the entire curved floor-to-ceiling window, and after rolling a few times, it stopped in the center of the bookstore.
Aisha's seat was the most unfortunate. After ejection, it hit the car that was chasing them behind, and then rebounded forward, hitting the angel who had just climbed up from the ground back to the ground again.
The angel flapped his wings vigorously and flew into mid-air. Aisha, who had just crawled out of the safety protection device in the driver's seat, was dizzy. Seeing a glowing creature moving around in front of her, she bit down on it.
A scream came, attracting the attention of Clark, who was standing on the side of the road holding the street lamp pole.
He didn't see that it was Aisha biting on the angel's wing, and thought that Bruce's daughter had been kidnapped by the angel. He roared, rushed forward, and hugged Aisha.
Aisha bit down hard, refusing to let go. Clark hugged her and spun 360 degrees, along with the angel whose wing was bitten by her, making a huge turn in the air.
As soon as Aisha let go of her mouth, with a "whoosh," the angel flew out not very voluntarily and smashed into the side of the car that was chasing the Batmobile.
The huge force carried the car together and crashed into the building on one side of the street. With a "boom," half of the street collapsed.
Harley, standing on the roof, watched all this in a daze. She slowly turned her head, looked up at Schiller, and screamed:
"Explosions, aliens, and Batman... I told you, my precautions were necessary!
! My house!
