Chapter 2464
In the clock tower of the Prophet's base, Barbara looked at the protective device signs lighting up one after another on the computer screen and revealed a smile. Now 80% of the protective device energy has been turned on. As long as there is danger, these devices can come in handy.
The Robins are also rushing back one after another, but they no longer have the excitement of having to compete when they left. They are either frowning or thoughtful.
When everyone came back, Barbara poured them hot tea and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We encountered that mysterious fog again." Jason spoke first, "This time it showed many different properties. Dick, you speak first."
Obviously, they had already discussed a round in the communication channel before, and Dick also told the whole process of the matter he summarized.
Barbara also reached a similar conclusion, and the rules in the fog summarized were similar to those of the Robins.
"What I am most worried about now is, if Batman has returned to Cat Getan and encounters this fog again, I'm afraid..."
The Nightwing of the Arkham universe said so, and everyone showed a worried expression. Obviously, this was not aimless. Since staying in the thick fog for too long would cause abnormalities, the seriously injured Batman was afraid that he wouldn't even have a chance to rest.
"Don't worry too much. Batman can handle it. If he can't, at least he will send us..."
Just as he said this, the computer behind Barbara rang. She immediately pushed her wheelchair over to look, knocked on the keyboard with a serious face, and then said, "Our communication transceiver system captured a faint signal, which was sent from somewhere in Cat Getan City, but the specific location cannot be determined."
All the Robins gathered around. After Barbara parsed it, she only got a bunch of binary symbols. The Robins began to take turns to crack them. They were already very used to cracking this kind of puzzle.
In the process of cracking, Barbara said, "I think this might be sent by Batman. He is not convenient to contact us now, or it might be that he is executing some secret plan."
Dick sighed and said, "I think our focus is to find the location of the signal emission and then bring him back. A seriously injured patient says he wants to wander outside, and you guys just ignore it?"
"Don't say that, Dick." Red Robin shook his head and said, "It's not that we haven't managed it. When did we succeed? It's better to follow his plan. At least it can play a role."
Everyone was silent. They all knew that Red Robin's words made sense. No one present didn't know that Batman was a mental patient. Is it that they haven't managed it? It's that they can't manage it.
Soon, the Robin of the Arkham universe screamed. He saw those originally chaotic binary symbols arranged into a square, and a pattern appeared on it.
"Cape! Batman's cape!"
Barbara was the first to recognize this pattern. It was clearly a cape, and Batman's logo was printed on it.
Why would it be a cape? Everyone was a bit confused, but Red Hood, who had witnessed Batman's battle scene, took out the bottle containing the fifth-dimensional imp. He shook the bottle hard and asked, "Hey, do you know anything?"
The imp was dizzy from being shaken inside. He knocked hard on the inner wall of the bottle and said, "Stop shaking! How would I know what cape... wait, is the cape you are talking about a long black cloth strip hanging on the back?"
The Robins gathered around again. Looking at one pair of eyes after another staring at him, the fifth-dimensional imp cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I don't know what a cape is, but if you are talking about the thing behind that hard and black iron shell, it was taken away by someone."
"Batman's cape was taken away? By whom?"
"My previous owner, King Robin." The imp shrugged and said, "He appeared in front of Batman. The two of them talked for a long time. King Robin suddenly started shouting, grabbed Batman's cape, wrote something on it, and then put the cape into his belt."
"King Robin grabbed Batman's cape, wrote something on it, and finally took it away." Barbara sorted out the information obtained from the fifth-dimensional imp and said with a sudden realization, "It seems that what was written is very important. We must grab Batman's cape back."
The matter returned to the starting point. They still had to deal with King Robin first, which meant they still had to attack Wei En Tower.
"I said long ago that just starting the protective device and sitting still is not going to work." Red Hood snorted coldly and said, "As long as the culprit is taken down, then everyone is safe."
"I think we really can't drag it on anymore." Nightwing of the main universe packed his things and said, "I guess there are crazy monsters he released all around. If too many people go, it's easy to startle the snake. I'll sneak over to see the situation first."
Nightwing left soon. Not long after he left, Barbara glanced at the computer and said again, "If it's not at a critical juncture, Batman won't send us a message. So what is on the cloak?"
Under Cat Getan, in a Batman safe house hidden in the bottom sewer, Batman of the main universe helped Batman of the Arkham universe lie down and helped him peel off the armor fragments remaining on his body.
This was not a simple job, because at this time, Batman of the Arkham universe had become a bloody man. His body was full of coagulated blood, and almost all the skin was completely peeled off, like a criminal who was dying after suffering torture.
Those shattered armor pieces were embedded in his flesh and blood, and almost every movement would bring unimaginable huge pain.
"I think you are a bit too reckless." Batman of the main universe said as euphemistically as possible, "Before dancing with snakes, at least prepare the antidote serum."
Batman of the Arkham universe shook his head slightly. During the process of taking armor fragments, he didn't make a sound, as if even the pain reflex was gone. He said in an extremely hoarse voice, "The only thing that exceeded my expectation is that King Robin used the connection of the symbiote in my and Jason's bodies."
"So you didn't even use the symbiote in the end." Batman sighed deeply, dealing with the wounds for Batman of the Arkham universe while saying, "Tell me your plan."
"Equation..." Batman of Arkham only spat out such a word. He said, "If it weren't for Jason's accident, I would have already gotten the equation."
"What equation?"
"Anti-Life Equation."
Batman frowned deeply. He hadn't heard this name, but he knew that he also had an equation in his hand, which was the main reason for attracting Darkseid to attack the Earth where he was.
"Start from the beginning." Batman said.
"I need to change this country." Batman of Arkham said, "I must change it, because I know darkness will come soon."
"So..."
"I have to attract Darkseid." Batman of Arkham said with his eyes closed, "This was told to me by another Batman... no, he is not Batman anymore, another Bruce Wei En told me."
"There was no serious injury in our original plan." Batman of Arkham's voice was dry to the extreme. He said, "Bruce from another universe also needs to change the situation of the country in their universe, so we formulated a plan together."
"The Earth needs external pressure. The opponent we selected is Darkseid. For this, we need a bait, which is the Anti-Life Equation, but neither of us has this equation in our hands."
Batman frowned. He knew which Bruce Batman of the Arkham universe was talking about, but he remembered that both he and Bruce in Schiller's universe had equations.
Batman of Arkham seemed to see what he was thinking. He said, "The one in your hands is not... not the complete Anti-Life Equation, but a part of the Life Equation."
Batman nodded. Actually, he had long guessed that the equation in his hand was definitely not an ordinary thing. At that time, Darkseid in his universe would attack the Earth just for this equation.
"How do you know King Robin has the Anti-Life Equation?"
"Bruce has been to many dark universes..." Batman of Arkham said, "He investigated the universe where King Robin was born. One of the heroes was killed by some anti-life creatures. The corpses of those creatures were left behind and discovered by Bruce."
"So this is a trap you set for King Robin?"
"Not anymore." Batman of Arkham sighed lightly and said, "Originally, I thought I had a symbiote in my body that could restore injuries. I gave the symbiote a lot of energy, just to hold on to King Robin's first wave of attacks."
"I know King Robin is very strong, and I didn't intend to defeat him. As long as I could still speak when he appeared in front of me, I would have a way to use the half-life equation Bruce gave me to lure King Robin into writing down his equally incomplete Anti-Life Equation."
"You did it."
"Yes, this is not difficult." Batman of the Arkham universe paused and said, "He knows that the Anti-Life Equation in his hands is also incomplete, otherwise it wouldn't have no function other than transforming anti-life creatures."
"He thinks the half-equation in my hands can help him complete the equation. I took the lead in showing him my half-equation..."
"Wait, aren't you worried that he will go back on his word?"
Batman of Arkham snorted coldly and said, "As long as you first belittle his invention and creation as worthless and put him in a situation where he cannot refute you, his primary goal will naturally become proving to you how genius he is."
Batman immediately understood. This was a trap set by Batman of Arkham long ago, so he naturally had plenty of time to conceive how to let King Robin take the bait.
Actually, just thinking about it, it's not very difficult. The complete Anti-Life Equation is probably very powerful, and everyone wants it, but if King Robin had this thing, he wouldn't have to kill a superhero and have to make a bunch of anti-life creatures.
The Anti-Life Equation in his hands must have problems. His striving to complete it is one aspect, and the fact that the equation he made himself is a defective product being exposed by others is another aspect.
The two are superimposed, and with Batman's carefully woven rhetoric, it is not surprising that King Robin is easily stimulated to break down in conversation and chooses to prove to Batman of Arkham that he is the only genius in the world who can make the Anti-Life Equation.
So after Batman of Arkham showed the half-incomplete Life Equation in his hands, King Robin might have had inspiration again and completed the Anti-Life Equation in front of Batman of Arkham.
"Then where is this Anti-Life Equation now?"
"On my cape."
