Chapter 2452: The Battle for the Cape (17)

Dick wasn't quite sure what the consequences would be if he ran to this car now, saw himself from another space-time, and woke them up, but he believed that his appearance here wasn't without reason.

When he was in the car, Dick vaguely remembered that there was indeed a tall building around, and the angle might also be able to see where their car was. But with so many buildings around, it appeared here. I'm afraid it must be a trick of the thick fog.

Dick chose the safest and most conservative way, which was to stay in place, because he didn't know if breaking the window and jumping down now would have any new abnormal reactions. The best way was to wait and see.

But after he stayed in place for about a minute, he found that the fog on the floor-to-ceiling window of this office started to surge and was gradually forming some patterns.

Dick walked closer to take a closer look and found that the patterns the fog was condensing into were some eyes, which just conformed to the abnormal phenomenon of huge eyes appearing in the sky mentioned in the previous eyewitness reports about the mysterious thick fog.

Dick stepped back a little. He wanted to walk to the side to see if those eyes were different, but the moment he took a step, all the eyeballs turned toward him.

Dick was so scared that he jumped backward and hit the sofa behind him. The pain in his arm and waist told him this wasn't an illusion.

Then, at this moment, all the eyes narrowed, turning into cold, malicious laughing eyes, which made Dick's heart colder and colder.

He thought he should stay away from the glass, so he crossed the entire office and stood by the door. He swore he didn't push the door at all, but the door opened by itself.

On the other side of the door was another office, with the same layout as this office, only the position was mirrored. Passing through the door in front, he could see that the office opposite also had a floor-to-ceiling window, and there was a car outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Only this time, the two people sitting in the car had changed, and Dick himself was gone.

Dick walked over as if possessed. He found that the car door on his side was open, and a footprint was left on the ground in front, which meant that the time point here should have reached the time when he opened the car door and went out.

Suddenly, he also saw piles and piles of eyes on the car door, but the two Nightwings sitting in the car seemed to be completely unaware, and those eyes started to laugh.

Dick took a deep breath, rushed to the window, and hammered the window frantically, shouting: "Leave there!! Leave there quickly!!!"

Those eyes would definitely bring danger, Dick's intuition told him so, and the more he stared directly, the more dangerous it was. The two of them must leave quickly, otherwise, something would definitely go wrong.

But those two couldn't hear at all until those eyes filled all the reflective surfaces, and they noticed something wrong.

The moment they turned their heads to look at the car window, a huge eye made of thick fog floated outside the car window.

Both of them let out a scream at the same time. The main universe Dick sitting in the driver's seat slammed on the accelerator.

Boom!!!

The Batmobile's engine roared, and it rushed forward. Dick was anxious to death, but couldn't stop them. The main universe Dick didn't know what kind of madness he had, driving the Batmobile and rushing onto the outer wall of this building.

The Batmobile could climb walls and walk on the surface of the glass curtain wall as if on flat ground. Dick watched helplessly as the chassis of the Batmobile flashed past him.

There was no road left after the Batmobile rushed to the very top, and the main universe Dick didn't turn, letting the Batmobile stall and fall, smashing into pieces on the ground in front of the building door.

Dick looked at the rolling smoke and dust in disbelief. He stepped back a few steps, turned his body, and then turned his head, running back to the first room at the fastest speed.

He leaned on his knees and gasped for breath, ran to the window. The eyes on the window were gone, and the Batmobile was still parked there quietly, and all three people had their eyes tightly closed.

Must find a way to wake them up, Dick thought. If he could wake them up in advance, maybe the future wouldn't become like that.

Dick started looking for tools that could be used in the office. The tables and chairs here obviously weren't enough to break the outer wall. Finally, Dick found a fire extinguisher in the corner of the office.

He pulled the emergency insurance, took out the fire extinguisher, and smashed it toward the glass. The glass didn't shatter completely, but it made a sound. Dick picked up the fire extinguisher bottle and smashed it again.

Bang! Clatter!

The glass finally shattered, but the floor he was on was too high, and it was impossible to jump down directly. He could only choose to throw a heavy object down.

The strength of the Batmobile was very high. Even if it was a high-altitude object thrown from more than ten floors, it was definitely not enough to smash the shell of the Batmobile, but it could make a loud enough sound to wake up the people in the car.

Dick measured it. To be honest, he wasn't sure he could hit it in one shot, because the distance was too far. Under the influence of various factors, it wasn't like he could throw it wherever he wanted.

Well, it seemed he had to calculate the wind direction first... wait, is there wind in the thick fog?

Dick poked his head out of the glass and felt it. He didn't feel any wind. If there was no wind influence, it would be much simpler to hit it.

Dick chose a good angle and threw the fire extinguisher bottle out smoothly. But unfortunately, the thick fog became thicker at this time, and visibility fell below three meters again. Dick couldn't see at all whether the fire extinguisher bottle hit it or where it hit.

It wasn't until a few seconds later, when he heard a "bang" sound, that Dick confirmed that the thing he threw out had landed.

But because the sound was a bit blurry, he didn't know whether it hit the car or the ground. He could only pray that it hit the car.

Dick decided to go to the room next door to see the future, but just as he stepped out of the door, he stared wide-eyed at the main universe Nightwing.

"Dick, why are you here?"

Dick also wanted to ask him this question, but Nightwing's face immediately showed a terrified expression. Dick waved his hand and said: "No, I'm not a monster, nor is it something disguised. I really am Dick. Remember? On the way here, I kept talking about my dad fishing."

"My God." Nightwing's chaotic and blank expression betrayed him. Dick hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"But I came here because of you. Just now you said you wanted to go out and take a look, but as soon as you pushed open the car door and walked out, you were knocked down by a fire extinguisher that came from nowhere."

"Your arm is broken. There are bandages for dressing on the Batmobile, but there are no splints, so we planned to find some fixing devices that could be used in the nearest building."

Dick was also confused. If he was hit as soon as he went out, then who was here now?

He immediately realized that this might be another kind of past, but how could the fire extinguisher bottle thrown by himself on this timeline hit another past self?

But after thinking about it, space-time in the thick fog was chaotic in the first place, so it wasn't strange for any bizarre things to happen. Now their primary goal was to get out of trouble.

Dick simply told the main universe Nightwing what had just happened, which made the main universe Nightwing look confused too. Dick opened his mouth and said: "I think we have to think of a way."

"Isn't it okay to stay here?" Nightwing said: "Anyway, the thick fog will eventually dissipate."

"I thought so too just now, but after I stayed for a while, I found that eyes started to appear on the glass. Those eyes made me feel very bad. If I stay any longer, something might go wrong."

"That is to say, you can't stay in one place for a long time in the thick fog?" Main universe Nightwing said: "Then we should be fine if we just walk around nearby, right?"

Dick wanted to say that he just walked around nearby, which led to the accident you mentioned.

But he thought about it carefully. Maybe he was too calm just now. He clearly knew that what he saw at the other window might be an illusion, but he still hurriedly wanted to make a response.

What if he didn't respond at all after seeing it? Just walk around here, keep moving, and don't let the eyes appear. Would he be able to wait safely for the thick fog to dissipate?

Dick thought so, and simply followed the main universe Nightwing's suggestion. They first returned to the room where the glass was smashed, decided to stay here until the eyes appeared, and then go to the room where the car crashed next door, walking back and forth like this.

But when the eyes appeared and they planned to go to the other room, they found that what appeared after passing through this door was not the room before.

It was still an identical office, another intact floor-to-ceiling window, and a car outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Now there was only one person left in the car, and that was the Arkham universe Nightwing.

"Is this the time point after I left?" Main universe Nightwing was a bit confused. He looked carefully, then shook his head and said: "No, that's not right. There were bloodstains on the ground when you were hit, but now there's nothing."

"This is likely something that happened after my timeline." Dick speculated: "I left the car safely and came to the building, then you left at that time, and now only this Nightwing is left."

"So no matter what happens to him, we can't move? Will this really not put him in danger?" Main universe Nightwing said.

"I guess not." Dick said: "We just do nothing, the timeline should flow normally. When the thick fog dissipates, everything will return to its original appearance."

But at this moment, they suddenly saw a figure appearing in the depths of the thick fog in the direction the car was facing.

He just stood there quietly, but it seemed as if there was endless magic power enticing people to observe him, to approach him, to pursue him.

It was as if as long as one could touch that figure, one could know the whole truth of the mysterious world in the fog.

Dick wanted to speak out to stop it again, but the only remaining Nightwing still stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove toward the depths of the thick fog.

The roar of the engine gradually disappeared in the distance. Dick opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the roar came from the distance again, and the Batmobile appeared again, and the driver drove out again as if he were completely unaware, and then drove back to the original position, without any pause in between.

"Is this some kind of spatial cycle?" Dick speculated: "It seems to be constantly approaching, but in fact, the position has never changed."

"I think we should make him stop." Main universe Nightwing said: "Although the car's energy is infinite, if he continues to drive like this, when the thick fog dissipates, he stops at a place we don't know. Then how are we going to find him next?"

"But we can't break another glass." Dick said: "If there must be a bad result, getting separated is better than getting hurt. Anyway, the thick fog will always dissipate. When the time comes, we can rely on communication."

Main universe Nightwing also agreed with him. In this kind of dangerous thick fog, something will always happen, and because of space-time chaos, it is difficult to achieve a good result no matter how you explore. It is better to choose the best one, just as Dick said, the thick fog will always dissipate.

Very unfortunately, when the thick fog dissipated, the two of them were still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the building office, but in the tens of seconds before it dissipated, they watched helplessly as the only remaining Nightwing disappeared into the thick fog in the car.

And when they went downstairs and walked to the door, Dick was about to step forward, but Nightwing pulled him back violently as if he had heard something.

With a bang, a fire extinguisher smashed down, smashing a big hole in the edge of the asphalt road and the stone street. The splashing stones cut the skin of Dick's arm that he was blocking in front of him.

The car that should have been on the street and the driver in the car had disappeared, and the last wisp of thick fog dissipated. ===== CHAPTER 2453 =====
