Chapter 2856: The Great Battle of the Lego Minifigures! (21)

"Owl?" Batman muttered this word with some confusion. This huge sculpture was clearly an owl, but as Superman said, how could there be such a large dungeon under the chemical plant?

"Looks like it's been here for years." Wonder Woman stared at the moss in the corner and said, "I seem to have seen similar architectural forms in the ruins of Mount Olympus. That must have been tens of thousands of years ago."

Superman suddenly poked Wonder Woman with his elbow. Wonder Woman coughed twice and said, "But the wear and tear of this building doesn't look that old. I think it must have been a few hundred years."

Superman stood under the huge owl statue. He looked at the glowing eyes and said, "Why are these eyes so strange? Is there something behind them?"

At this time, Batman had already flown up, standing on the head of the statue. He saw that there seemed to be something inside the glowing glass-bead-like eyes. He didn't hesitate anymore and pried open the Lego bricks that made up the eyes. With a *clang*, a key fell down.

Superman below picked up the key. This key was ordinary, just that the oval on the cartoon key had been replaced with an owl pattern. After Batman came down, he also looked at the key up and down, not seeing anything different.

Since there was a key, there must be a door. Batman turned left and right, feeling that the key must still be on this owl.

Suddenly, he found that the two folded wings of the owl seemed to be movable, and there were traces of bearing parts on the shoulders. He turned around in front of the owl again, and one claw was slightly raised.

Batman walked over and stepped on it violently. With a *click*, some mechanism was triggered. Batman raised his head confidently.

Nothing happened.

"It's over!" Tim in the Batcave grabbed Shiler's arm and shouted, "Did we press too hard? The wings didn't turn!"

The main universe Batman looked at Shiler. Shiler looked at Tim righteously and said, "Wasn't it you who said to use some force if it couldn't be pressed?!"

"Then you used too much force, the mechanism is stuck!" Tim sighed helplessly and said, "Jason would definitely be very happy to piece Lego with you! Your strength is greater than his!"

Fortunately, Batman had backup measures. He gave up on studying the mechanism and turned to walk to the gap in the wings to start prying.

Tim really didn't wrong Shiler. Batman pried for a long time and only managed to insert the tip of the grappling hook into the gap, unable to pry the wing open no matter what.

Finally, Batman grabbed the grappling hook, Superman hugged Batman, Wonder Woman hugged Superman, and the three used force together. *Squeak*—*Bang! *

The three flew out together with the grappling hook and the wing, and only then did they finally pry the broken wing open. Batman looked down, and below was actually a deep well, so deep that the bottom couldn't be seen.

"Throw the grappling hook down first." Superman said.

"I also..." Batman stopped when he got here and said, "Fine, let's try it first."

Superman and Wonder Woman exchanged a look, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. Batman threw the grappling hook down, and when he pulled it up, he found that the grappling hook was stained with water, and the sound below was quite spacious, as if it were a pond.

The good news was that they definitely wouldn't fall to their deaths, but the situation was still unclear. Wonder Woman, who was in the best condition, prepared to jump down. Batman wanted to stop her, but seemed to have thought of something, and in the end, didn't say anything.

After Wonder Woman jumped down, she made a *thud* sound. She entered the water in a standard posture and then swam up, lying on the edge of the pond to shout upward, but the brick she was holding onto fell off.

Wonder Woman gasped, hurriedly pressed the brick back, and punched it twice hard, cursing in a low voice, "Shoddy construction."

"It's fine, you guys come down!" She still shouted toward the top.

After a while, two figures jumped down together. Superman was afraid that Batman would get hurt upon landing, so he simply jumped down holding him.

Wonder Woman rolled her eyes, turned over from the edge of the pond, and seemed to be looking at the new environment, but in fact, she was looking for traces of other shoddy construction.

Finding that a brick on the ground was loose, she went up and stepped on it hard. Fortunately, Batman and Superman didn't encounter any loose bricks when they climbed up, and they arrived on the ground very smoothly.

Here was a spacious hall, but compared to the dungeon above, it had higher walls and colder, harder floor tiles. The most important thing was that there were traces of human activity here. Although it had been dusty for a long time, it could be seen that it should be the headquarters of some mysterious organization.

"There's actually such a place under Gotham." Batman sighed, "It seems the density of cameras is not enough."

"That seems to be a passage over there." Wonder Woman pointed forward and said, "Perhaps we can find some clues to figure out what's going on with this mysterious ancient city."

Batman didn't hesitate either, lifted his foot, and walked toward that side. Just as Wonder Woman said, this side seemed to be a living area for some people. One could even find some things similar to books and notes here.

But it was a pity that there were no clues here at all. These notes were all gibberish or drunken talk, and didn't even mention what this place was called or who they were.

Confusion flashed in the eyes of Superman and Wonder Woman, but Batman was not discouraged. He said, "It seems that those who live here are all small fries. If I'm not mistaken, this place should be layer by layer downward. The deeper you go, the closer you get to the core."

"Is that so?" Tim in the Batcave looked at Shiler.

"Is that so?" Shiler looked at the main universe Batman.

The main universe Batman didn't say anything, looked down at the instruction manual in Shiler's hand, and then the two picked up the instruction manual to study.

Sure enough, Tim pointed to the fourth step of the instruction manual and said, "Look, a staircase was installed here. Just follow this staircase to get to the third floor. There is a mechanism door here..."

"Wait a minute... a staircase?" Shiler was somewhat enlightened. He said, "Is there a staircase?!"

Tim stared at him with wide eyes and said, "You didn't piece it, did you?! Then why did you go to push that cart of step materials?!"

"I clearly pushed the pond materials!" Shiler argued, "That's the circle of steps installed on the edge of the pond!"

"No, those steps are curved and use special parts. The staircase here uses universal step parts! You didn't mix them up, did you?!"

"Could it be that so many people didn't find that the steps weren't installed?"

"We pieced from top to bottom. If you didn't press it, who would know?!"

"This is over." Shiler kicked the office chair away, covered his face with the instruction manual, and said, "Without steps, how can they go down?!"

"Jump, it's not like they haven't jumped before." Tim sighed and said, "After I go back, I will definitely not piece Lego with you again, otherwise I don't know how many times I'll have to redo it."

"It was really just a mistake." Shiler explained.

At this time, the three Batmen had explored to the end of the corridor. Logically speaking, turning right should be the steps, and the mechanism door to open the next floor was under the steps. So the steps were gone, and the place from the previous floor to the next floor was a hollow.

Counting from top to bottom, they were now on the 2nd floor, and the place they wanted to go was the 3rd floor. Logically speaking, even if they jumped down without stairs, they should reach the 3rd floor, but the problem was that the floor under the steps wasn't installed either, so this hollow went straight to the 4th floor.

Realizing this, the main universe Batman was also speechless. He felt that Tim was right. He must never piece Lego with Shiler again.

"This really can't be blamed on me." Shiler sighed, "I'm so busy every day, where do I have time to piece any Lego? Only that old antique Arrogance who lived in the Middle Ages has time... Forget it, there shouldn't be anything important on the 3rd floor, right?"

"How could there not be?" Tim said gloomily, "The 4th floor is a fire maze, and the fireproof shield is placed on the 3rd floor. If they jump down now, they will probably become kebabs."

Shiler immediately folded his hands and prayed, "Don't jump, don't jump, Batman, you are a cautious superhero, don't jump down directly."

Batman was adjusting the grappling hook and didn't seem to have any intention of jumping down directly, but Superman and Wonder Woman were somewhat confused. They felt that this might be a passage like a well. Wonder Woman said, "Should I fly down and take a look?"

"No, according to my past experience, this bottom definitely..." Batman stopped again.

"Don't stop, keep talking!" Shiler shouted, "Social skills are not for you to use at this time!"

Batman didn't strongly reprimand, so Wonder Woman and Superman were somewhat hesitant. In the end, Wonder Woman decided to fly down and take a look. Shiler slapped his forehead. Is this lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet?

In the past, Batman rarely used social skills on the members of the Justice League. He usually gave orders or warnings, but in fact, this played a very important role in the work of the Justice League, because these people really didn't use their brains much. Without Batman reminding them on the side, they would have been pitted to death many times over.

But Batman's learning ability was a bit too strong, and he used it immediately, successfully applying social skills to communication with Justice League teammates, but to be honest, it was better not to use them.

This made Shiler think that if Bruce had this learning ability, Arrogance would really be able to laugh in his dreams, but unfortunately, resources placed in the wrong place are garbage. Now it doesn't look like knowledge has entered this Batman's brain, but more like water.

"Ah！！!"

Very predictably, Diana, who flew down, let out an exclamation. Superman was about to jump down recklessly. Batman seemed to reach out to stop him, but was a step too slow. Superman also let out an exclamation when he jumped down.

Now Batman had to go down whether he wanted to or not. Superman just blurted out, "No! Batman! Don't..."

Batman came down.

Soon Batman understood what they were screaming about. The room they were in now had three walls spraying fire, and it was getting closer to them. This was clearly not a place they would come to by reaching the next level through a normal path. They had nowhere to run now.

The main universe Batman in front of the screen covered his eyes. Fortunately, he was well prepared. He pressed his communicator and said, "Green Lantern, go support them, just say you found them after getting out of trouble."

Green Lantern hurried to the top of the chemical pool, plunged in, followed their previous route to the hollow of the stairs, and prepared to jump down.

Green light flashed, and several people were immediately protected in a bubble. The surging tongues of fire couldn't hurt them, mainly because they couldn't hurt Batman, who was of flesh and blood. Superman and Wonder Woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"How did you come?" Batman looked at Green Lantern and asked.

"I saw you fall down, I thought maybe I could fish out your corpses or something." Green Lantern smiled and said.

Batman was clearly a bit moved, but remembered Shiler's teachings, so he said, "Are you alright? Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

"Uh, no, do you guys know where the door is?"

Shiler and Tim were looking at the instruction manual again, and after looking at it, they came to a conclusion—this room is normal, but someone didn't install the door!

The eyes of the two fell on the main universe Batman at the same time. ===== CHAPTER 2857 =====
