Chapter 3880

~11 min read 2,146 words

The main universe Batman, wearing the Hellbat armor, just sat in the Batmobile when he received another call from his father, Thomas.

"God, little Bruce, how long have you not returned to Cat Getan? It's a mess here."

"Is it messier than the gang war?"

Thomas was silent. He sighed and said: "The others are fine, the key is that the weather forecast says there will be a hurricane landing starting tonight. The city's power supply equipment needs maintenance. Wayne Group's technical workers have all been sent out, but it's still not enough. Do you really have no time to come back?"

"Sorry, but I really can't get away," the main universe Batman looked at the key to Mount Olympus in his hand and said, "Is there any movement in Arkham Asylum?"

"Not really, it's very calm at the moment. You don't come back, and that group of super criminals are all staying in the asylum honestly. This is the only good news."

"Good, then don't let them be idle either. They are all PhDs, maintaining power supply equipment should be fine, right?"

"What?" Thomas's unbelievable voice came, "You mean to let that group of lunatics in Arkham Asylum deal with the upcoming hurricane?"

"Otherwise? I'm busy traveling through the universe and dizzy here, they are playing cards happily in the asylum?"

"But... but how do you order them? Are you planning to call them?"

"No, I have my own way. I'll hang up first."

After the main universe Batman hung up the phone, he first called Nightwing. After the call was connected, Nightwing seemed to guess what he was going to say, and said: "Sorry, Batman, the underground water system in Blüdhaven is too rotten, it will be flooded every heavy rain, I have to prepare for flood control, I really don't have time to go to Cat Getan to help."

"Oh, it's okay. What about Jason and Tim?"

"The two of them are already in Cat Getan, one is organizing gang flood control, and one is sitting in the power center. Cassandra and the others have also gone to the pier. If you want to find someone else to do something, I'm afraid you can only find Gordon and his daughter."

The main universe Batman knew very well that Gordon and his daughter were also busy. They were busy dealing with the aftermath of the serial murder case and tracking down the mysterious electronic life. The main universe Batman couldn't help but sigh.

The special status of his own universe, although conducive to his gaining leadership in the multiverse, the curse of Cat Getan is also deeply rooted. It hasn't been good for a few days before all kinds of natural and man-made disasters happen, and all bad things happen together, making people overwhelmed.

This hurricane landing looks like a natural disaster, and Cat Getan can come ten times a year. Any hurricane approaching the East Coast, regardless of its previous direction, will definitely turn to Cat Getan when it approaches the coastline. Cat Getan has some experience in dealing with this kind of disaster.

But the problem is that there is still a mysterious electronic life lurking in the city, which used murder cases to disrupt the upper-level situation before, trying to distract Batman. If it makes trouble at a critical moment, the originally ordinary natural disaster could evolve into a huge disaster.

The main universe Batman thought for a while, then dialed Arkham Batman's phone and said: "Where are you now? Are you free?"

"I'm at the outpost of the Green Lantern Corps," Arkham Batman's voice was slightly blurred, and he said, "I want to observe the composition of the Lantern Corps to see if there is any opportunity."

"How is Cat Getan there?"

"Not bad. I'm the president, and I have great power. That electronic life is afraid of being found by me, so it only dares to make small moves, and it cannot invade magic or the power of the emotional spectrum. There is nothing big for now."

"Okay, then lend me the agent. No matter what you promised him, I will bear half of his salary for you, and give him an extra 20% transfer fee, how about it?"

"What do you want him to do?"

"There will be a hurricane landing in Cat Getan tonight, I'm worried that electronic life will take the opportunity to make trouble, so I must make some arrangements first."

"Okay. But Natasha has been to your side, why not let her go?"

"The task I need the agent to perform is a bit special, it can be said to be very suitable for him, and he is also very suitable for this job."

"No problem, I'll call him now."

As soon as Arkham Batman hung up, he called Schiller. About half an hour later, Schiller appeared at the door of the Cat Getan Police Department in the main universe. James Gordon, who came out to greet him, was stunned by his face, which was much younger than Dr. Schiller's.

However, now everyone who has been in contact with the multiverse or heard the news of the multiverse will treat those with the same identity but slightly different looks as counterparts from different universes. It is normal to have as many counterparts as there are multiverses, in different eras and ages, some old and some young.

But Gordon soon discovered more differences. This young Schiller in front of him didn't exchange pleasantries with him at all. He stepped forward, shook hands, and said: "Give me a car, where is the FBI base?"

"Uh, so you are an agent?"

"Yes," Schiller nodded and said, "I know Cat Getan doesn't like outsiders pointing fingers, but the situation is different this time. To deal with the upcoming hurricane landing, I'm afraid it really requires the cooperation of the State Police and the FBI."

"You got one point wrong, Agent. It's not that Cat Getan people reject police and law enforcement officers, but that they simply don't dare to come in. Staying here for a period of time will make them crazy, they have weapons in their hands, and if they really cause trouble, it will definitely be a big mess. The federal government doesn't want to get into trouble, so naturally it won't establish a base here."

Gordon paused and said: "But what you said makes sense, such a large-scale natural disaster, it should indeed be called for the State Police to come and help. But don't count on the FBI, this hurricane covers many important cities on the East Coast, they might go to Chicago or Boston."

"Okay, then give me a car, I have to go to Arkham Asylum."

Schiller drove the car prepared for him by Gordon, which was an ordinary car used by plainclothes police, but there were police lights in the car, which could be turned on for law enforcement at critical moments. There were not many cars on the road, so Schiller didn't turn on the police lights.

He drove all the way to Arkham Asylum. At this time, the dean of the asylum was still Hugo Strange. Schiller showed his credentials at the front desk and was taken to the dean's office by an assistant.

"Let's keep it short, Batman is very dissatisfied with the current situation of Arkham Asylum. You must make adjustments immediately, otherwise, the funding will be cut from the next quarter until the board of directors and management are reorganized."

Hugo looked at Schiller, a bit confused for a while. He hesitated and said: "What is Batman dissatisfied with?"

Hugo wasn't playing dumb, he really didn't know. Although he wasn't a good person, he was at least clear-headed. He knew that Arkham Asylum had been incredibly peaceful for a period of time, all the super criminals had entered a state of retirement, and every day they were either sleeping in their wards or going to the activity club to play cards, and the biggest conflict produced was the win or loss of the card game. What could Batman be dissatisfied with?

"Do you know what Batman is doing now?"

Hugo shook his head. He didn't know this either. If Batman were in Cat Getan, he might know something, but the cosmic situation was still a bit too far for this group of super criminals in Cat Getan.

"Within the last week, he ended the interstellar war, took down Oa where the Guardians of the Universe are located, built a super Lantern furnace for storing energy, and directed the Justice League to move the power of the seven lights in Oa back to Earth, modified the Hellbat armor, went to Themyscira to get the key to Mount Olympus, and now he should be negotiating with the gods on Mount Olympus."

"Oh," Hugo made a syllable, and then said, "Batman's normal level. And then?"

"He is very displeased with you idlers now," Schiller walked to the chair by the window and sat down, crossed one leg over the other, put his elbows on the table, and said sideways, "He is busy running around the universe, but you are here sleeping early and getting up early playing cards every day, don't you feel ashamed yourselves?"

Schiller's attitude was too righteous, causing Hugo to be stunned for a while, and he even reflected in his heart, and then suddenly reacted and said: "This is a mental hospital, the people living here are all patients without full capacity for civil conduct, besides sleeping early and getting up early to receive treatment, what else should they do?"

"Okay, Dean, let's not talk in riddles. I know very well whether they have full capacity or not, and I also know very well whether you have the ability to make them more capable. Batman's meaning has been conveyed, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can only keep it for the shareholders' meeting after he returns, but I hope what you receive then is not the news of being fired and rolling away."

Schiller stood up with a slap on the table and turned to walk towards the door. Hugo hurriedly called him and said: "Wait! Is this really Batman's meaning?"

"Do you want me to let him call you?"

"No, no," Hugo paused, and couldn't help but sigh, "God, there is actually a day when Batman takes the initiative to release the Joker."

"Their freedom is not without a price. Batman can manipulate the Arkham Asylum security system to release the patients at any time, your role is to let them know what to do."

"So what on earth do they have to do?" Hugo couldn't help but ask. He really couldn't figure out what Batman had encountered, and he had to let this group of lunatics go out to help, could it be that the universe was really going to be destroyed?

"Don't you watch the news?"

Hugo was stunned again. Of course he watched the news, not only every day, but from beginning to end, but there was no broadcast of any major events in today's morning news.

"Hurricane 'Anora' is about to land," Schiller said.

"So, will it blow the entire Atlantis civilization onto the land?" Hugo asked tentatively.

Schiller sighed, a bit impatiently and said: "Why haven't you figured it out yet? The point is not what you want them to do, but let them not be idle!"

"If you don't want to let this group of lunatics be idle, why did Batman catch them in the first place?" Hugo asked again.

"The past is the past, now is now," Schiller shook his head and said, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. Get what you should get done, before the hurricane arrives, at least there can't be an idle person in this asylum. Do you understand?"

"Not at all," Hugo didn't want to answer like this, because it seemed that his IQ was low and his comprehension was also problematic, but he really couldn't understand.

Or rather, he knew what he should do, he just couldn't understand the motivation for Batman to do so. Of course he would want to figure out the motivation, not only to persuade that group of lunatics, but also because he was interested in Batman. He wanted to know what made Batman undergo such a big change, probably an occupational disease of a psychologist.

"You must explain to me in more detail how Batman conveyed this order to you, of course I'm not saying you misunderstood him, but according to my research back then..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw a pitch-black muzzle appear in front of his eyes. Schiller's pair of gray eyes loomed behind the muzzle. "I assume you don't have the ability to come back from the dead."

"God, I don't."

"Shut up, and go to work."

"Okay."
