Chapter 2813: Forbidden Zone of Alien Demons (20)

Wei En finished reading this note of Martha's. There was another part behind it recording how she used the Evil God's power to remodel two locations.

These two locations weren't chosen randomly; they were both related to that mysterious underground ancient city. The midpoint of the line from Wayne Manor to Wayne Hotel was the location of the underground ancient city, which meant that the distance from these two buildings to the underground ancient city was the same.

As for why she did this, Wei En also found the answer in the latter part of the plan—Martha wanted to swap time.

Martha's ambition was even greater than he imagined. She didn't want to delay for 20 years and then solve this matter 20 years later. She wanted to delay for 20 years, and let the person who found the solution 20 years later come to 20 years ago to directly wipe out all losses.

After becoming a descendant of the Evil God, she had a way to influence the time node of a certain area in this separate universe, but it wasn't direct control, but swapping, replacing, and substituting.

The current timeline could be seen as 0, the past timeline could be seen as -1, and the future time choice was +1.

All the time in all spaces on the current timeline must add up to 0, which meant it must always be in the present, neither being anchored in the past nor fixed in the future.

This was very normal, because for all linear time creatures, every minute and every second they spent was the present. The past and future were not materialized for them; they couldn't touch them. So if the space of the past and future were brought over, it would seriously violate cosmic laws and cause serious consequences. The cosmic administrator guarded against this strictly, and Martha clearly didn't have the ability to shake it.

But she had other ways. If it only needed to add up to 0, then she only needed to get a -1 and another +1, and the two of them could add up to 0. If she wanted more distant time, it was the same.

In other words, whether it was Wei En or the hotel where Peter was, it wasn't actually the present. The real present should be the day between the difference of the two hotels, but this 0 was replaced by -20 and +20.

And the current Wayne Manor was the same. After having the successful experience of the hotel, Wayne Manor was changed to -20 years and +20 years—what Martha wanted was this -20 years.

As long as this rule was used to anchor certain places 20 years ago, people in the future would have a way to enter this space to change certain things, thereby influencing things 20 years ago, so that those people 20 years ago could obtain a turning point.

But according to Martha, this also had a problem, which was that time couldn't be completely calibrated, eventually leading to the two time points getting closer and closer, and then completely merging into one. So a turning point had to be obtained before merging into one.

Wei En thought of the time he and Peter had checked before, discovering that the zero points of the two hotels differed by dozens of seconds. This might be the calibration error Martha mentioned, and also the culprit that would eventually cause the two time points to infinitely approach each other.

But the fault tolerance rate of 20 years was much larger. Martha mentioned in the letter that the four major families and Falcone all had their own arrangements, just wanting to use this 20-year inheritance to complete the plan of breaking the situation.

All the pictures flashed through Wei En's mind, and he roughly knew what they wanted to do.

He sighed inwardly, but still put away the letter and hurried downstairs. Alfred's head really didn't move anymore. When walking out of the back garden door, Wei En looked back at the old butler.

Wei En ran towards the big tree in the garden, found the cellar entrance at the fastest speed, jumped in, followed the footprints, and came to the meeting place. The first thing he saw was what Jeremiah was holding in his hand.

That was a piece of shining metal.

It was also stained with Alfred's blood and brains.

Wei En sighed, asked nothing, and said nothing. He only said, "Let's go."

Jeremiah looked back at him, but in the end, he also said nothing. The team set off towards the ancient city in silence.

Wei En quickly felt time changing. Clearly, they were heading to a certain place 20 years ago, which was the end point designed by the Wayne couple and the four major families.

Jeremiah also seemed to fully understand the map, leading the group through I don't know how many turns, and came to the gate of the ancient city.

When Wei En walked into the temple, he saw Peter soaking in the psychedelic liquid pool. He sighed again, but still said nothing.

"Sorry, but I'm afraid I have to borrow your companion. I guarantee he won't die." Jerome smiled at Wei En.

In a face-to-face encounter, Wei En discovered that he was the real Joker. Actually, Wei En didn't need to discover it. Jerome took out a can of green liquid. Wei En recognized that it was Lazarus Pit fluid; only the Joker could hold this thing unscathed.

They walked to the altar in front of the liquid pool. There happened to be 5 empty spots around the altar, and 5 different patterns were drawn on the table with different colors.

Jeremiah took the lead and placed the metal he had dug out of Alfred's head on the golden pattern.

Jerome placed the green liquid in his hand on the green pattern.

A kind of wine-red liquid flowed out from Cobblepot's blood-red leg. He used a glass bottle to contain this liquid and placed it on the wine-red pattern.

Finally, everyone looked at Wei En together.

To be precise, they were looking at Gordon's head in Wei En's hand.

"The last metal is in my head." Gordon said, "Open my head and take that thing out."

"Let me guess, you are all the backup plans laid out by the four major families." Wei En looked at the few people and said, "In the 20 years, each person looked for one kind of metal, and then pieced them together to summon the great dark existence."

Things had reached this point, and the Jeremiah brothers didn't intend to hide it either. They nodded. Who knew Wei En would say, "Have you ever thought that this plan might have been tampered with, and there is a traitor among you?"

"Impossible." Cobblepot said, "Precisely because we were worried that the plan had problems, they let the juniors do it. We have never come into contact with the Evil God head-on."

"But you were still contaminated."

"We were actively contaminated." Jeremiah lifted the hem of his clothes, and there were tiny flesh buds in the red wound. He said, "This is controllable contamination after cultivation. Besides improving our survival ability, it can also let us avoid secondary contamination, and at the same time, it can help suppress the metal in our bodies. That thing isn't something ordinary people can hold casually."

"Very good." Wei En evaluated, "Then why did I appear here?"

"We also want to know." Jerome stared at him and said, "You shouldn't have been a variable in the plan, but seeing that you have value, we didn't stop you."

"In fact, I received a distress signal." Wei En said, "A friend who trusts me asked me to find him in room 1905 of the hotel. Guess who that is?"

"Bruce Wayne? He is also a part of the plan. He has to be responsible for holding back that Evil God, although I don't know why, the Evil God is just very interested in him."

"So to speak, he is the person who has dealt with the Evil God the most?"

"You could say that." Jeremiah answered.

"Since he is in the same group as you, he actually didn't need to come to me for help at all. Since he did so, it proves he no longer trusts you. This proves there might be a mole among you."

The atmosphere of the crowd stagnated. Cobblepot spoke first, "Impossible, we all confirmed it..."

"Regarding the Evil God's affairs, who dares to guarantee it?" Wei En sighed, placed Gordon's head on the table, and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I know much more than you do."

"The thing in James's head is not the fifth metal." Wei En said, "From the moment he received the mission, he fell into the Evil God's trap. This is a complete scam. If you use the thing in his head to arrange the magic array, everything will be abandoned."

The others looked at each other. They didn't know who to believe. Wei En was indeed the only variable, but this strange person could also be the Evil God's puppet.

"We won't believe you." Cobblepot said, "That Evil God is best at bewitching people's hearts, turning into various images to gain trust. Our elders paid a huge price for this. My mother is still deeply trapped in a crazy fantasy dream until now. I won't believe you."

"Then give me back my person." Wei En didn't intend to talk more with them either. He walked towards the pool. The Jeremiah brothers exchanged glances, and their faces revealed fierce looks.

Peter was lying quietly in the pool, closing his eyes as if trapped in a beautiful dream. Wei En wanted to fish him up, but the Jeremiah brothers rushed up and pulled him away.

"Can't kill him." Gordon suddenly spoke, "The blood of a stranger might contaminate the pool. It's better not to meddle."

"Your old problem has flared up again." Jeremiah complained, "Alright, that's it then. I'll open your head."

Wei En was pushed down, but it seemed he didn't intend to stand up again either. He sat where he fell, but took out the alarm clock on his own.

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing is the fifth metal you want. It was left by Martha. She seemed to have guessed through some channels who the Evil God would lay hands on, so she made precautions in advance. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

Wei En directly threw the alarm clock over, hitting Jerome. Jerome caught it, but didn't see any anomalies from the alarm clock. The metal that made the alarm clock seemed to be the most ordinary metal.

On the contrary, the piece Jeremiah dug out of Gordon's brain was emitting a faint fluorescent light, and it was in the same style as all the other metals.

They really gathered together and started researching.

Wei En really couldn't stand it anymore. He whispered, "I understand Arrogance a bit now."

Everyone's gaze fell on him. Wei En sighed again and said, "I really don't understand why your elders had 20 years of time to prepare, but didn't consider going to England to invite an expert to guide them? Have you learned even a little bit of occult theoretical knowledge?"

Wei En nagged and complained, "It's really a group of people who dare to make plans, and a group of people who dare to execute them. Don't you think about whether there is even one magician among your elders? Since there isn't, where did the courage come from to deal with the Evil God based on your own imagination?"

"Don't you understand that magic is also a very rigorous thing? Over so many years, it has developed mature theories, has its own set of rules and processes, and has a very rigorous system."

"Even if these things are instincts in the eyes of magic families, they have a strong knowledge barrier for you ordinary people. You dare to do it without understanding anything. Even if you have 20 years, you don't think about finding a school to learn. It's a miracle if this can succeed."

"Put it, put it, you can put whichever you want." Wei En waved his hand and said, "Anyway, none of them will succeed. You can put whichever you want." ===== CHAPTER 2814 =====
