Chapter 4526

Shiler gradually had a plan in his mind. Of course, it wasn't to strike hard at the students. Because almost every year at the Christmas performance, someone would play him, and without exception, they received bad reviews for "not acting like him." Shiler was already used to it.

What really needs attention is the celebrity effect brought about after the book is published. Internet information in this era is not that explosive, and Shiler never shows up online. Plus, Brainiac is worried about stimulating him, so he further deleted all information about him on the Internet, so he doesn't have to worry about becoming a global celebrity.

But just the people who have seen and are familiar with him in reality, the topics triggered by novels and film adaptations, are already enough to be a headache. Even James Gordon called him to book tickets, because Barbara is a fan of Constantine's books and has been looking forward to the film adaptation of "The Haze of Faraines" for a long time.

Shiler also asked them why they didn't ask the novel author for tickets, and the answer left him speechless. Shiler is a drama lover, especially fond of watching dramas and musicals at the Cat Getan Grand Theater, and can always get internal tickets, and he is also very happy to share the extra tickets with friends. Victor and Gordon have both received his complimentary tickets.

Gordon also couldn't quite distinguish what kind of film adaptation Constantine's books would undergo; he felt it was about the same as watching a musical. So when Barbara proposed it, he thought of finding Shiler for tickets first.

Besides, this will also attract a lot of unnecessary attention. For example, Jonathan has been sourly and sarcastically for several days. Although Shiler is too lazy to pay attention to him, obviously many lunatics like Jonathan, especially those lunatics who are in great need of attention and enjoy the pursuit of others, also want the same treatment.

And their method of pursuing this status is not to threaten the author of the novel, but to try every means to approach Shiler.

Shiler can probably understand their brain circuits. In their view, if a very charming character in a novel is created out of thin air by the author, then there is nothing to say, the author must be amazing. But if there is a prototype, then the novelist is just copying, this prototype must be amazing.

And they think Shiler is amazing, but they don't want to imitate or learn from him; these lunatics only have fighting excitement in their brains. Just like Hugo Strange, they just want to prove that they are better than Shiler, more worthy of being written into a novel, and receiving everyone's attention and pursuit.

Although Shiler's personal information hasn't been exposed much, if someone really wants to check, they can find it. If Shiler's reputation was previously limited to the lunatic groups in Cat Getan or the East Coast, now it has basically triggered widespread attention from psychopaths around the world.

Undoubtedly, this is not the result Shiler wants. But it's very difficult to lower the attention now. The best way is to find a new focus to attract their attention.

The plan to rewrite history with the Gray Lantern is going smoothly. Now, the sun's extinguishing is not because the Black Hand used the power of death to evolve the sun to the black dwarf stage, leading to the descent of eternal night, but has become the return of the Great Old One Zhuo Xie Kun. And Zhuo Xie Kun itself will descend on the Day of Etching, so the state of the sun is locked into a total solar eclipse in the occult sense.

Such a change has many benefits. For example, because it is in the occult sense, this phenomenon seems to only affect conscious intelligent life. In other words, it is equivalent to adding a filter to human consciousness, which neither affects the earth's temperature nor affects plant growth, so there is no need to put a shell on the earth.

In addition, because Brainiac is not affected by occultism, in his perspective, the sun is fine. He is the only one in the world who can see the normal sun. Now in his perspective, eternal night does not exist at all, and everything on earth is as usual.

Also, a very small number of people who have nothing to do with occultism, such as Amanda Waller, can also see the sun normally. However, because of some of her subsequent investigation actions, she learned some things about the Great Old Ones, so the situation of staying out of it didn't last long, and soon she also fell into eternal night.

And the ingenuity of this plan lies in the fact that the location of Zhuo Xie Kun's appearance is right under the cliff where Hugo fell. It is equivalent to Hugo falling directly into the mouth of the Great Old One. If he can live, then there is really nothing to say; Cat Getan has given it to you, okay.

And in fact, for Shiler, who knows something about the Great Old Ones, it is very clear that this plot arrangement is really not forced; it can only be said that the choice of the Great Old One is quite clever.

Zhuo Xie Kun comes from the novel "The Terror Bell." The plot of this novel is nothing new; it's about the protagonist digging up a bell, summoning Zhuo Xie Kun, and experiencing a series of mysterious adventures. It is a relatively niche Cthulhu novel and is not very popular. Most people think its plot is relatively childish, and the horror atmosphere rendered is not enough.

However, Zhuo Xie Kun's background is very complete. He is a descendant of Ubbo-Sathla, known as the "Source of the Great Old Ones," and is also the father of the Eye of Destruction, "Seigya."

Regarding his settings, besides the attributes of death and darkness and appearing on the day of the total solar eclipse, the original author described him as "a dark and silent existence dwelling in the underground on the coast of the Western Ocean." In other words, he just lives on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean, and Cat Getan happens to be on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean; isn't that a coincidence?

Of course, this is not strange. Cat Getan itself is a place where dark elements gather; no matter which system's source of darkness it is, as long as it comes to the DC world, it must gather toward Cat Getan. The Cthulhu system is no exception. Zhuo Xie Kun lives on the shore, so he happens to be under the cliff. Looking further away, at the mouth of the Cat Getan River, how could there not be ten or eight giant octopuses squatting there.

Precisely because of the rationality of the settings, the process of rewriting history is very easy, and the effect is better than imagined. Shiler estimates that the Black Hand should be scratching his head now.

The Black Hand looks like an occult villain, but in fact, he is not mysterious at all. The Lantern Corps is essentially not a mysterious power; the emotional spectrum is an energy that can be observed, studied, and utilized, first discovered by the first Lantern, and a way of utilization was studied. After being stolen by the Blue Men, the Lantern Corps was formed, and then fell into Batman's hands, becoming an almost universal energy, no longer a mysterious rarity.

The Black Hand came at the wrong time. Or rather, it's not that he came late, but that Batman set off too early. His research on the seven Lantern powers made the Black Lantern power look not so scary. The Black Hand's process of resurrecting corpses looked like something a few years ago, but now it's not enough to bluff people. Facing a mysterious existence that truly originates from occultism and nihilism, he is probably confused too.

Shiler came to Arkham Asylum; he was looking for Brand. Because he can get first-hand news from the depths of the stars from Brand, even faster than going to find the Black Pharaoh.

The person who borrowed books two days ago came to return them. I recognized him just as the sky was darkening. His condition was worse; his breathing was very heavy when he gasped. That thing's erosion of him is getting deeper. I gave him some medicine Blue Tentacle left me, not knowing if it would work. The book was also stained with some mucus. I could tell he felt very sorry. I knew I couldn't refuse to let him return it. Otherwise, this book might bring him a greater disaster.

"Can he succeed?"

Brand shook his head and said: "If this method could succeed, the good doctor wouldn't have shot us in the face back then. The stars are not real celestial bodies and will not be interfered with by external forces. To enter between the stars and peek at the true secrets, one needs certain skills."

"So, Anatoly didn't get in by violence back then either."

"No," Brand looked up at Shiler and said, "You should know best; Anatoly is the kind of person who looks like he uses violent means directly, but in fact, all his seemingly violent behaviors have a deeper, reasonable logic, rather than just violence for violence's sake. Otherwise, many things he did would be impossible to succeed."

Shiler nodded. Anatoly is indeed like this. Whether he is borrowing money in the universe, condensing a wave of power to bomb Cat Getan, or treating himself, it all looks very direct. But in fact, he did full preparations before doing it. Contacting the Outer Gods must also be like this. The Black Hand wants to attack fiercely with power; I'm afraid it's very difficult to succeed.

Shiler felt relieved. Next, it depends on whether the Black Hand will choose as he expected.

Shiler returned to Cat Getan University, but just happened to run into Victor, who was coming out of the low-temperature laboratory. He asked: "What's wrong? Where are you going?"

"Billy caused trouble," Victor sighed, "I've been busy writing books lately, Nora didn't keep an eye on him, and Billy got into a fight with someone... Oh, he didn't use the Shazam form to fight. Otherwise, I should be at the police station by now."

Shiler breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I just said, Billy wouldn't be so unaware of the severity. Who did he fight with?"

"Classmates in school. Seems to be from the next class. Ron's daughter was also involved, and I'm afraid Aisha was too. Aren't you going to take a look?"

"Of course I have to go. But first I have to call Alfred; I'm afraid he will conduct some Soviet-style education on the other children..."

The two got into the car together. Victor had time to call Nora and ask her about the specific situation. After asking for a long time, he hung up the phone and sighed again.

"What exactly happened? They shouldn't have fought for no reason, right?"

"Of course not for no reason. Seems it was just a quarrel between children. Thank God no one died."

The car soon drove to the East District. After the two got out of the car, they entered the building complex in the East District. But by the time they arrived, the matter had already been resolved. Both sides apologized to each other, and the parents also apologized and comforted each other. The parents of the other side had already left.

"What exactly happened?" Victor felt a bit incredible. Disputes in Cat Getan rarely get resolved so easily. It wouldn't be over without involving some murder case.

"Nothing. That little boy has had a toothache and a relatively irritable temper. He knocked Jenny down during a game of tag, and Aisha couldn't stand it and pushed him. He turned around and fought back, and Billy blocked in front of Aisha. The two fell to the ground and fought. Other children also joined the battle. Then it was a mess. Can't say who hit whom, each had their own wins and losses."

Victor opened his mouth, not expecting things to be like this. The situation in Cat Getan is getting better. The conflict is really just a conflict, without hiding any dark secrets. He really isn't used to it.

Shiler's focus was strange: "Toothache? Why would he have a toothache?"
