Chapter 4531

Actually, Cat Getan's bad reputation has long been a thing of the past. Not to mention before Brainiac's descent, Cat Getan had already greatly whitewashed its reputation through the tourism industry. After the establishment of the Brainiac government, although the control over Cat Getan was not strong, this place never made any big trouble again. And because economic development was good and accommodation conditions were good, it even attracted a batch of migrant workers.

The new generation rarely knows where Cat Getan's once-famous reputation came from. Even if they heard that the city was once very rotten, they only thought it was the work of gangsters, and it was fine after Brainiac cleared the gangsters.

The older generation, although they have some understanding, to put it bluntly, the East Coast cities of that era were all like this. Cat Getan was not very good, was the Imperial City good? Was Miami much stronger? Not to mention Chicago. They didn't take it seriously at all.

This led to the fact that Cat Getan's dark age had long been hidden in the years, not talked about for a long time, and no longer valued.

Therefore, when a weird thing happened in Cat Getan again, no one realized that the location of the event might make the danger level of the whole thing multiply.

Take the rules of the running group game as an example: some very cunning running group hosts will deliberately beautify the names of some location options, which sounds like the kind of harmless place, so that they can seduce the group members to choose. If they were all called "So-and-so Mouth," fools wouldn't choose.

Because everything that happens in similar locations has a huge possibility of mutation. Going to other places is at most meeting two murlocs; coming to this kind of place, you have to consider the possibility of having dinner with Cthulhu.

Cat Getan is also such a place. Don't look at the name of the event, it doesn't seem to be a big decisive battle, just an event branch or a side mission, but the location bonus is really too big, one wrong choice and the main character is directly summoned.

Actually, the main character is already here. But occultism is not something that can be understood by holding Buddha's feet temporarily. Just reading the classics left by predecessors takes several years, and this group of lunatics obviously doesn't have that patience. They just roughly understand what's going on, and then directly form a game and start working. This led to them not realizing that the blood tide is not an event that can be created by a simple existence.

These people poured into Cat Getan one after another, starting to investigate where that corpse, full of creativity and beauty, was. Cat Getan's coastline is not long, and carpet-style searching can find it. Soon a small team touched there.

Obviously, this small team didn't make enough preparations. They even climbed the cliff directly, and then looked down. You know, Shiler felt dizzy just by standing on it and looking down. These people repeated Hugo's fall without accident and became part of the blood tide.

This led to the blood tide becoming bigger. And the photos of the blood tide after mutation were very coincidentally spread out. Others saw it, isn't this more beautiful? So they couldn't wait to go and see it with their own eyes. Then several small teams that were not prepared enough accounted for it here, and also became part of the blood tide.

Most of these people are enthusiasts on a whim, not real experts. But their deaths are not meaningless; besides expanding the scale of the blood tide, they also had a subtle impact on the battle between the Black Hand and Zhuo Xie Kun.

Both sides have a characteristic, that is, they cannot obtain power through human sacrifice. Great Old Ones don't need to say, they are not devils, they don't eat human souls, and it doesn't make sense for many people to die. The Black Hand is the source of the power of death, and doesn't need any external force to supplement. It seems that these people died in vain.

However, still the same thing, in Cat Getan, everything is possible. Not to mention, it is still within the range of the Great Old One's crazy radiation. These dead people formed a relatively independent "phenomenon," which is the blood tide.

Within the Cthulhu mythos system, madness has power. It's not that lunatics are stronger, but that the madness brought by taboo knowledge that humans cannot understand will overflow from the human brain, and then be transmitted to their compatriots, forming stimulation to their spirits.

After the blood tide formed, the corpses injected with the Joker virus solution began to twitch faster and faster. Some even could stand up autonomously. Although there was no way to move freely, it already looked like it was alive.

The key turning point appeared when someone truly prepared took action. Just like Harley's team, although they didn't have much understanding of the Great Old Ones at first, they could obtain a lot of intelligence and knowledge through the Cat Getan University Library, understand the source of madness, and study some defense methods.

Plus their high defense against mental contamination, they could act freely even if their sanity value hit the bottom. Soon they were touched near the cliff. Although they hadn't looked directly at Zhuo Xie Kun, they were almost there.

And at this time, the Black Hand was still immersed in his running group game, fighting three hundred rounds with the Great Old One in the spiritual realm, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

The power of death was not enough, so he called the living corpses over to extract power. And the living corpses he called over happened to be caught by this group of lunatics who were preparing to kick the door.

The lunatics couldn't distinguish whether this was a corpse, only knowing that these people were different from them, and their behavior was very strange. They didn't detain the living corpses, but saw how the living corpses that were extracted of the power of death lost their power and fell to the ground. They attributed this to the voluntary sacrifice of the believers of the Great Old One.

In order to further understand the Great Old One, they caught a living corpse and intended to force a confession. But obviously, nothing could be asked. So they detained all the living corpses in a fit of anger, wanting to see if the god who lost the tribute would be furious.

Until several times in a row, no power of death could be extracted, and the Black Hand reacted that something was wrong. But he was not willing to give up, because he had already figured out some ways in the spiritual world. So he had to mobilize living corpses on a larger scale to let him extract power.

There were really too many coming, and the lunatics couldn't stop them. However, Brainiac is not a vegetarian either. After he blocked the cliff, everyone who approached would be taken away directly, leaving no chance at all.

The Black Hand is not stupid, he thinks about it and knows that if the takeout is not delivered, it must be intercepted. So, he made the most wrong decision—gave the living corpses on the coast some power of death again, let them break through the blockade and pick up the takeout.

First, those living corpses were injected with the Joker virus, and they couldn't move for a while because the energy was not enough. And with the power of death in hand again, they came back to life directly. But what came back to life was not the living corpses controlled by the Black Hand; it was not an exaggeration to say it was a postmodern Joker gang.

From the moment they woke up, they threw the Black Hand's orders behind their heads. What breaking through the blockade, what welcoming believers, who cares about you! I still have my big things to do! Where is Batman? I ask you where is Batman?!

The resurrected living corpses had no movement again, the blockade couldn't be broken, and there was no power of death. The Black Hand was confused: what happened outside? How exactly did Brainiac cut off the connection between me and the living corpses?

Although he didn't know, he was not without other ways. If the takeout can't get in, I'll go out and get it. Even if other living corpses don't listen to me, Hugo can't not listen to me, right?

When he started talking to me about this book, he mentioned something I was interested in. This book seems to be just an appendix to another book, and the Greek manuscript of that book is currently hidden in the British Museum. According to him, it is a very terrifying book of curses. If I have the chance to go to England, I will go and see it. *

And he had already figured out some principles of the Great Old One's mental contamination. In other words, although Hugo is now contaminated, the Black Hand can still find ways to resurrect him, at least to control his body to move.

Do it as you say. The Black Hand directly used the last power of death to resurrect Hugo, who had become a monster, but he didn't know that this monster now was not just Hugo.

Gordon, who was standing outside the cliff blockade, was arranging work for his subordinates. Brainiac gave a death order, and they have been strictly guarding for the past few days, preventing the Black Hand's takeout from going in to replenish his energy.

Just after arranging the shift for tonight, Gordon vaguely felt a subtle tremor coming from the ground under his feet. He subconsciously looked back, and then he was completely stunned—a blood-red tsunami descended from the sky. The surging waves were not seawater at all, but endless, mutated and distorted human limbs.

Gordon was shivering and couldn't speak. He thought he had seen all kinds of big scenes in Cat Getan for so many years—he really hadn't seen this scene!

But why do you say that, he has been able to work in Cat Getan for so many years. The moment he saw this scene, all kinds of things from the past rushed into his mind. His next subconscious action was neither running nor screaming, but picking up his phone and dialing Shiler's number.

"Shiler!!!" Gordon's roar resounded through the sky, "I told you not to dump corpses into the lake!!!"

Shiler was a bit speechless holding the phone. There are not many times when he feels wronged. This obviously counts as one. Although he is not too wronged this time, what does this have to do with the lake? The lake in front of his house doesn't lead to the sea.

He felt it had nothing to do with it, but someone didn't think so. Harley and Jason, who were hiding on the side of the cliff and witnessed everything, opened their mouths wide. "My god, what is this?!"

"Is this the blood tide you wanted?!" Jason was also incredible, "You didn't tell me it was alive!"

"I don't know either!" Harley scratched her hair, "The East District opposite is the most densely populated. Can't let this thing enter the city! We have to stop him!"

Jason rubbed his eyes hard, but still forced himself to calm down, and said: "With our strength, it definitely won't work, let me think, let me think... Got it!"

Harley looked at him, and Jason said: "Do you remember the lake in front of Professor Shiler's house?"

"You mean..."

"The monster dwelling under that, how can it be considered half a local? Cat Getan always needs a Batman, it's time to stand up and defend the home!"

At this time, Shiler was standing in the distance holding binoculars watching the situation, and said to Brainiac: "Must arrange the route, pull him far away, and then let Superbody appear. Must not let Superbody be contaminated."

"Don't worry. The guards will drive those living corpses along the coastline all the way north to the North District with the least population. Superbody is waiting for him there."

"Where is Nova? Did she go over? Must ensure that the Black Hand drains the power of death in her body to be perfectly resurrected."

"Professor Fries has already taken her there."

Shiler nodded, just as he wanted to put down the binoculars. Suddenly, another behemoth broke into his field of vision.

"...... What is that????"
