Chapter 2495: The Battle for the Cape (Part 62)

The search method he adopted was not in the real world, because the barriers between universes in the real world were stronger. If he wanted to search, he could only go to that universe and start the machine.

But it was different in the Dream World. All universes shared a common Dream Kingdom, and the dream bubbles of each universe were piled up here, like a large information base. He chose to search for the brain waves he wanted here.

During the experiment, he once encountered a problem: the virus band used for brain wave pollution could not be fabricated out of thin air. The viruses he created were either unusable or uncontrollable.

Finally, he discovered that the best virus was himself.

To be precise, his brain waves had extremely special properties. Unlike Batman, and unlike the Joker, they possessed the common characteristics of both of them. This was a fatal pollution for any Batman.

However, this kind of brain wave could only have one special carrier, which was his blood. It seemed that only the blood fused with Batman and the Joker could carry the brain waves combined by the two.

So, he turned this blood and the brain waves it carried into a special pollutant. The best solid medium for attachment and transmission was metal. As long as these metals were dropped into other universes and kept in constant contact with Batman, they would be polluted.

The wide-area brain wave search device invented from this had a similar principle. Because it possessed both Batman's and the Joker's brain waves, it could easily compare which segment of brain waves in a universe belonged to Batman and the Joker.

Therefore, it could analyze the state of Batman and the Joker in this universe, classify them, pick out the ones that could be used, and list them in his plan.

During the search, he discovered a special individual. The other party not only had Batman's brain waves but also the Joker's, with a similarity of up to 80% to his own brain waves. The 20% that was different was probably that these two brain waves were not combined with each other, but were very close and entangled, influencing each other.

Through reading the brain waves, he roughly understood the story of this universe. He was very interested in this contradictory and entangled father and son, so he listed them as protagonists.

After Morpheus, the Dream King, left, the main authority of the Dream Kingdom had been vacant, but Constantine and Shiler had always possessed a portion of the authority. Although not as complete as the Dream King, they still had a certain degree of control over the Dream Kingdom.

If using cats to bury foreshadowing in reality in advance, making Maocheng Cat Getan exist as a crack and loophole in the Dream Kingdom, could only be considered petty theft, then conducting wide-area searches among the dream bubbles of various universes was completely a robbery.

Almost at the same time the Arkham Universe was noticed and arranged into the script, Constantine discovered that he had always been able to feel some special signals in certain areas of the Dream Kingdom. He understood the existence of the wide-area search device in a more magical way.

Replacing brain waves with souls, this search device was similar to a magic circle searching for special souls. Although Constantine could not find where this magic circle was, nor did he understand its specific principle, he could determine which target it had stayed on for the longest time through the energy fluctuations emitted by this magic circle.

Constantine locked onto the Arkham Universe and understood that a guy capable of searching for souls had set his sights on this universe. He told Shiler about this, but Shiler did not act rashly.

"So you also knew long ago that I had set my sights on this universe," Bruce said.

Shiler nodded slightly, turned the film in his hand to the second half, and said, "And Robin King..."

"He is also one of the targets I found whose brain waves are similar to mine," Bruce said bluntly. "Similar to the point of being annoying..."

When searching, he not only found the Arkham Universe but also found several universes that were partially similar to his brain waves. The universe where Robin King was located was one of them.

It was just that Robin King was not a combination of Batman and the Joker; he was more like a Batman who had become the Joker, or a Batman who was born a criminal. His memory, thinking, and behavior patterns were similar to the combination of Batman and the Joker, so he naturally entered his field of vision.

When he found Robin King, he discovered that although this brat was very similar to him, even to the point of being annoying, he really had true ability.

The props in Robin King's belt were all genuine artifacts. If he had such a knife in hand, his plan would go more smoothly.

However, such an annoying existence could not play a major role in his repertoire, so a funny clown used for the opening would be a good choice.

After reading Robin King's brain waves, he understood that this guy didn't look down on anyone and was naturally dissatisfied with himself, so he took the initiative to provoke conflict, but made Robin King helpless against him, and then guided Robin King to the idea that he was so special because he was a combination of Batman and the Joker.

Then he guided Robin King to the Dream World, letting him discover that a Batman in a strange universe had also combined with the Joker's brain waves. He would naturally find a way to go to this universe.

Robin King dropped a wave of special energy into the Cat Getan underground of the Arkham Universe, used as a lead to open the portal, and the mastermind behind Robin King mixed in his own lead to open the dream passage.

Thus, Poison Ivy detonated two portals at once. The first was the portal where Robin King descended, and the second was to the brand-new dream bubble of Maocheng Cat Getan in the Dream Kingdom.

"And on Robin King, you made more arrangements." Shiler changed another roll of film. The first act of the film was Robin King standing in front of a pool.

"All Robins who came to the base had to undergo transformation. The most important step was to soak in the pool. The liquid in the pool was actually blood solution with his brain waves attached. It's just that for these little birds, it didn't need long-term corrosion; it only needed to let these bloods fuse with their blood, and his brain waves could naturally pollute their brain waves."

Robin King naturally wouldn't submit obediently. They were clearly the same kind of people, only believing in themselves. Even if they were someone else's lackey for a period of time, they would never be sincere. So, Robin King made a small pill to keep his consciousness clear.

But unfortunately, using the device that analyzed brain waves, he had already read Robin King's thoughts. And trapped in the base, the instruments Robin King could use were all originally in the base. It was too simple to mix something into the pill.

But if he let Robin King swallow the pill so smoothly, Robin King would naturally be suspicious. Still the same sentence, they were the same kind of people. If things didn't go smoothly, they would suspect the enemy; if things went smoothly, they would suspect their own people.

To put Robin King at ease, he deliberately pretended to have just discovered Robin King spitting the pill into the pool a second before he swallowed it. But after all, he swallowed a part of it, and it still contained his blood.

This was another technology of the brain wave reading device. His brain waves still existed in the blood. This technology was similar to a hacker remotely controlling a computer to perform excessive calculations, causing the computer to overheat and explode. This part of the virus brain waves could reverse-manipulate the brain and cause the brain to explode.

At the same time, the swallowed blood would gradually pollute Robin King's blood, making the blood splashed out by the brain explosion have extremely strong corrosiveness, which could be called a kind of biochemical weapon.

He set the trigger condition for the explosion as: as long as someone peeked into Robin King's brain, the self-destruct program would start.

Of course, someone would go to peek into Robin King's brain. The only information he knew was that the professor was a professional enough psychologist.

No psychologist could remain indifferent when seeing such valuable research material as Robin King. And usually, they were well-dressed and elegant. Being splashed with blood with extremely strong corrosiveness would likely completely corrode their clothes, make them extremely embarrassed, make a big fool of themselves, make them angry, and make them crazy.

This was his goal, because he had to divert the professor's attention so that he could take this opportunity to invite the actors he had decided on to his stage.

By seriously injuring Arkham Batman through Robin King, making him fall into a semi-dreaming state, he could let him enter the dream. At the same time, during the battle, he used the connection between the symbiotes to broadcast Arkham Batman's situation to Arkham Knight Jason, to stimulate Jason's spirit and let him fall into the dream too. This father and son were in place.

He had long known that there was a prop in Robin King's belt, a multicolored Kryptonite ring. Robin King used this prop to kill the Superman of his own universe, and one of the Kryptonites could make Superman fall into hallucinations.

When Superman, who rushed to save Batman, was hit by this prop, he knew that Superman's entry into the dream would be inevitable. Because although Superman wanted to save Batman, he would never let this dangerous prop that could knock him down fall to the street below, so he would inevitably be affected by hallucinations for a long time. Superman was also in place.

"As for Gordon..." Bruce crossed his hands and smiled, saying, "He is my acquaintance. I didn't kill him."

Shiler knew he was referring to the Gordon who appeared in the script. This character was very likely the Gordon from the Batman Who Laughs' original universe. He didn't know why he didn't die, but was turned into a pathetic character in the script.

"And Spider-Man..." Bruce looked at Shiler and dragged out a long tone, clearly implying something.

"Of course I sent him in," Shiler said. "Your painstakingly written transformation script can let one more young hero awaken, isn't that good?"

"The key is how you dare to bet that this script will make them awaken, rather than completely destroy them?"

"We are going to discuss this question next." Shiler put down all the film in his hand, took a stack of storyboard frames from the side, tapped the table lightly with his finger, and said, "Did you write this script?"

"Of course. In order to match the level of your student, I had a hard time writing it so clumsily and childishly." Bruce smiled and said.

"If that were really the case, it would be fine." Shiler shook his head as if a little helpless, then looked up at Bruce and said, "Childish and clumsy are not worth praising, but there is no need to satirize them, because everyone has this time."

"In some cases, unpolished, somewhat rough artworks have their own simple and ancient beauty. It's not shocking, but at least one can see a bit of the innocence of daring to try and strive to explore."

"And this play..." Shiler lowered his eyes to look at the storyboards in his hand and said, "It's not clumsy and childish; it's just purely inferior, arrogant, and boring."
