Chapter 2443

"Are you sure the sealing and filtering system is working properly?" Tim was still a bit worried and wanted to check the Batcave's control system. The other Robins felt a bit puzzled and urgently needed someone to answer their doubts.

So Dick stood out and said: "Did you see the fog outside the window just now? That kind of faint gray fog."

Several Robins looked at each other. Several people seemed to have an impression, and seemed not to. After all, this kind of weather is too common in Cat Getan. They looked at it and forgot it, not going through their brains at all. Who would specifically remember it?

"It seems there is such a thing." The main universe Nightwing said: "I was just standing by the window and saw fog below the window. Is there a problem with this fog?"

Jason sighed and said: "You have traveled through universes fewer times, so you may not know that recently, an abnormal phenomenon called 'Visitors in the Fog' has occurred in various universes."

"The manifestation is that a burst of thick fog will suddenly erupt in a certain area, the time and space in the area will begin to be chaotic, people who inhale the fog will see all kinds of terrible hallucinations, and will even encounter all kinds of dangers because of chasing the shadow in the depths of the thick fog."

The Robins all felt very surprised. They said: "You mean every universe has it, then why haven't we seen it before?"

"Are there few strange things that appear suddenly?" Tim sighed and said: "I am very interested in this abnormal phenomenon, so I investigated a lot of information. Most of the experiencers and witnesses mentioned that they entered the thick fog in one place, but arrived in another place when they came out. Many people saw many terrible eyes in the fog. It seems that the longer they stay there, the more abnormal phenomena there are."

"Then is there no solution?"

"The best solution is to enter a completely enclosed space, and it must be equipped with a perfect filtering system so that the particles of the fog cannot penetrate. The second best solution is to wear a gas mask. If you don't inhale the fog, you won't have hallucinations. Just stay in place and don't move, and wait for the fog to dissipate."

"This is really troublesome." The main universe Red Hood hugged his arms and said: "Then what is the purpose of this mysterious fog?"

The three of Jason shook their heads. Obviously, they didn't know either. However, Tim speculated based on his own investigation: "We suspect that the owner of the fog might be a member of the Dark Council."

"Dark Council?"

"It's that organization of Barbatos. Didn't Batman tell you? Cat Getan becoming like this is all because of that so-called Dark God Barbatos, but Barbatos is not fighting alone. He and three other gods formed the Dark Council."

"The other two members of the Dark Council are not yet clear, but the God of Darkness and Bats, Barbatos, and the Visitor in the Fog are the two existences that have appeared several times so far. I guess their purpose is the same, and that is to invade the Light Universe."

"Then what about that guy who calls himself the King of Robins?"

"I think he is just a small fry." Jason said: "It seems that for some reason, these powerful gods cannot directly invade, so they will send subordinates."

"But their subordinates are not scattered soldiers, but organized. Since there is an organization, there must be generals and soldiers. I guess the King of Robins is one of the soldiers."

Everyone looked at each other. The Arkham Knight walked out, stared at Jason and said: "You mean, the King of Robins who almost killed Batman and Superman and left superheroes dead all over the place is just a vanguard in their organization."

"Although it is a pity, I am afraid so." Jason said with a serious face: "And I am afraid he is not an attacker, but just a scout. He didn't receive any urgent combat mission, so he has the time to perform TV shows here and claim to be king."

"Otherwise, he could kill Batman with one blow and shoot down Superman. Couldn't he have made more effort to destroy Cat Getan directly? Wouldn't that be more once and for all?"

These words made everyone's mood heavy. They decided not to wait anymore, but to act immediately.

They knew that Batman had already gone to activate the protective device at the portal, but if the King of Robins really wanted to come over, just opening the protective device there would not be enough.

After the Scarecrow's conspiracy, Batman realized that just protecting important landmarks was useless. Barbara pushed her wheelchair over and said: "Because this group of madmen can take Cat Getan people as hostages at any time. As long as they create a few explosions, they can keep Batman busy."

"To prevent this situation from happening again, during this period, Batman built thousands of secret rooms in Cat Getan's sewers to place protective equipment all over the city. Once danger is detected, these protective devices will start immediately."

"What is the specific principle?" The main universe Red Robin asked.

"I don't know very well, but from Batman's description, it might be a kind of energy absorber. As everyone knows, whether it is explosives or the release device of fear gas, they all need energy to operate. Once energy is lacking, they cannot work as expected. Even if they still explode, the range of impact will be very small."

"Then isn't it activated now?"

"This is the problem." Barbara touched her chin and said: "I think this thing might also have a certain degree of danger. Batman is worried that some villains will find it and turn this thing into a weapon, which would be too terrible. So now they should be in a dormant state, not sending signals, and will not be found by anything."

"That is to say, we have to go and activate it."

"Yes, but the most troublesome thing is that because of the fear of being wiped out, Batman might have compiled a very complex division network, neither according to area nor according to energy level. So even if we find the switch, we don't know which ones we are opening."

Dick sighed deeply and said: "Sometimes I don't know who Batman is defending against."

"That's the one in your universe." Red Robin said immediately: "The others are all half a pound to eight taels. I am already very used to this. As long as you can find a way to get the switch, I think we have the confidence to crack it. This is three Tim Drakes."

The three Tims looked at each other and saw the confidence in each other's eyes. Tim has always been hailed as the Batman successor most like Batman. If you want to say where he is most like Batman, it is probably that he is not biased at all. He basically knows all the subjects Batman knows.

"But now this mysterious thick fog is blocking the door, how are we going to get out?" Dick appeared a bit anxious. He said: "I suspect that the Batman of this universe might still be trapped. For some reason, the King of Robins is not in a hurry to kill him, but no one knows when he will change his mind. We have to find a way to save him quickly."

"I think we might as well think about why the King of Robins doesn't kill him." Jason moved a chair and sat down and said: "Anyway, we can't get out now, so we might as well discuss something useful. Why don't we think about why it is your universe."

"What do you mean?" The Arkham Knight frowned.

"Look, there are so many universes in this world, almost endless. If there is a Batman in every universe, then there are countless Batmen."

"If he just chose randomly, how could it be such a coincidence that he chose yours? If he came to this universe with a purpose, then what is his purpose? What is special about the Batman of this universe?"

The Robins of the Arkham universe were all silent. They hadn't been to other universes and didn't know what the Batmen of other universes were like, so they couldn't see what was special about their own.

"In my opinion, it seems about the same." The main universe Nightwing said: "He is not much different from the Batman I know. If I have to say it, maybe he talks less, and the armor looks different too."

"Wait, why did the Batman of our universe also come to this universe?" Red Robin keenly grasped the point of the matter. He said: "He didn't come here because of a distress signal. It was because he came here that we received a distress signal. Then before the King of Robins came, what did he come here for?"

However, what the young Robins didn't expect was that Schiller had also come, and as soon as Schiller saw them, he told them his purpose: "You want the truth; I want King Robin."

On the way back, Jason still couldn't help but ask: "Why? Professor, is there something special about this guy?"

"He is severely ill."

"Huh?"

"Literally. A born sociopathic serial killer. I have been researching whether sociopathic personality is related to organic brain lesions. If you can't capture him alive, bring his brain to me."

The young Robins all shivered in unison. What this meant was, if you can't catch him, I'll do it myself.

Tim immediately gave Schiller a gesture and said, "Mission guaranteed, Professor. However, the scene might be a bit chaotic. Why don't you go to Wayne Manor for some tea first?"

"No, you should have already received the communication from the other Batman. I have to go find him now. I know what he intends to do, but some things still need to be confirmed."

Soon, the Batmobile and the pocket spaceship Jason brought delivered everyone to Wayne Manor. They planned to gather there and reassign tasks.

But Schiller got out of the car at the entrance. He had to go find the main universe Batman because not long ago, Nick told him that the DC main universe had records of activating a portal, and those who passed through the portal included not only Batman but also the Joker.

It was not hard to infer that they had already discovered the Batman Who Laughs, but Schiller could not yet determine how they intended to deal with him. More importantly, Schiller had to confirm to them that they already knew the severity of the danger posed by the Batman Who Laughs.

Although they always said the Batman Who Laughs was disgusting, disgust was only one of his characteristics. At least at the current power level, the Batman Who Laughs was an extremely powerful and difficult opponent. The main universe Batman and Joker might not be prepared to face him, and once they failed, the consequences would be devastating.

"It seems this is the problem." Everyone discovered that something was wrong. Several Robins from Shiler's universe exchanged opinions and then said: "We haven't heard of any Batman in any universe killing the Joker, or even just being related to the Joker's death, nor have we heard that Batman went crazy later."

"Batman and Joker..." Jason muttered to himself, saying: "Did you see that King of Robins? He is Bruce Wayne, but he laughs like the Joker. Do you think he could be a combination of Batman and Joker?"

As soon as this was said, everyone shivered. Dick rubbed his arms and said: "Don't tell ghost stories in broad daylight. Batman and Joker combined, my God, just thinking about it makes me have nightmares."

"It's really hard to imagine that Joker's smile would appear on Batman's face. What on earth would..."

"Stop it!" The Arkham Knight interrupted irritably, but it was too late. Everyone's imagination had put this expression into their minds, and then they all turned their heads away in disgust.

Joker's exaggerated smile itself carries a certain uncanny valley effect. Adding it to the face of Batman, who usually doesn't laugh and keeps a straight face, this expression is truly as creepy as it gets.

"Could it be that the King of Robins wants to find his own kind?" Jason pulled the topic back and said: "He wants to find another Batman combined with the Joker, so he found the one in your universe."
