Chapter 4604
Although Shiler's consciousness is still in the surface consciousness, he can also feel the boiling of the spiritual world at this moment—what does it mean that the tower jumped on the spot?
Shiler took a deep breath, trying to make himself look sadder. Fortunately, Anatoly is more familiar with Shiler's morbidity and doesn't know much about the agent. He is immersed in his own thoughts now and has no time to observe Shiler's emotions, while Shiler can observe his to his heart's content.
It's a pity that the agent is not good at psychoanalysis, and his perception of emotional fluctuations is not that keen. However, he can also see that Anatoly is not sad. He is just a bit absent-minded, as if he has fallen into memories. Shiler also can't be sure whether the most important protagonist in his memories is the Soviet Union or Lucifer.
After a long while, he came back to his senses and asked, "Where did you get it?"
"Constantine of the main universe gave it to me."
"Lucifer stuffed it into his brain?"
"That's not it." Shiler said. "Lucifer lost the bet and gave this thing to Constantine. Constantine wanted to use it to make magic tools, but found that the power on it was too weak, so he kept it at the bottom of the box until he turned it out recently."
"You went to ask him for it?"
"Of course not, how would I know he had it. It was during the multiverse war before, he pitted Batman, Batman wanted to treat him and locked him in a mental hospital, he tried to run out, but always failed, so he wanted to engage in some crooked ways."
"By the way." Shiler paused and continued, "That pendant was also given to me by Constantine. It seems that Lucifer broke a cup when drinking with him, and he made that piece into a pendant. Now returning it to you can be considered returning it to the original owner."
Anatoly lowered his eyes slightly. The biggest difference between Slavic eyes and other white races is that the arc of their upper eyelids is rounder, but the brow bone is straighter and lower. This creates a strong sense of conflict, which to some extent is the national "appearance comes from the heart."
When he lowered his eyes, and the arc that looked younger and childish disappeared, the straight and deep brow bone stood out, bringing a bit of classical gloom, reminding people of the Bronze Horseman by the Neva River under the sunset in St. Petersburg, the darker the sky, the more distinct the edges and corners.
"Returning to the original owner?" He said. "I'm glad I only got back two percent."
When Shiler returned to 125 Kazsovo, Constantine was reading a book, which looked like a notebook. Seeing Shiler come in, Constantine looked up and said, "Did you give that thing to him?"
Shiler nodded and said, "He is organizing the Justice League to find a way. I think he still has a long way to go."
"This is indeed not an easy thing." Constantine's face was very serious. "Batman is an ordinary person, which means that in some aspects he is fragile. The most difficult part of the rescue plan is not efficiency, but safety. But no matter how this matter is done, it cannot be called safe. I want to know more about who put Batman in such an unsafe situation."
Shiler was clearly very gratified by his focus on the matter. Thank God, Constantine had no family gossip to chat about, and he didn't even want to chat about the trivial matters of heaven and hell. Shiler knew he must have many stories, but he had always kept silent about this, not mentioning it to anyone unless necessary, which could be called a perfect teammate.
"You know, Batman has several enemies." Shiler said.
"Oh, this is a rare thing. Before saving the world, the savior is an enemy of the whole world." Constantine said. "If he only had a few enemies, then what is the need for this world to be saved?"
"Speaking of which, it counts as themselves." Shiler quickly revealed the answer. "Indeed, some people very rashly took some radical means to deal with the great enemy of the multiverse. However, if the Batmen don't step forward, it won't affect them."
Constantine clearly fell into thought and said, "Since the Batmen took the initiative to step forward, do you think they would have no contingency plan?"
Shiler's hand paused. He said, "Judging by their character, naturally it's impossible not to have one. But I really haven't seen any evidence."
"This proves that their contingency plan might not be in the reality universe." Constantine said. "I think we should all be firm in our judgment of Batman, shouldn't we?"
Shiler nodded. He thought Constantine's words made sense. Clearly, the main universe Batman couldn't lead so many people to such a dangerous universe without any preparation. He wasn't unaware of what kind of person Bruce was. Even if he hadn't thought Bruce would be so impulsive, he must have envisioned what to do if they encountered problems they couldn't solve.
The main universe Batman had already been in contact with magic, and he was not unprepared for the mysterious power in the universe. Therefore, when facing an irresistible disaster in the reality universe, he might consider taking refuge in a non-reality universe.
There are many realms that do not belong to the reality universe, such as heaven, hell, limbo, the magical world of Maia, and Mount Olympus. But the most troublesome thing about these places is that there are too many powerful beings.
If the Batmen had to leave the reality universe to take refuge, their situation might already be very bad. Going to face these powerful beings again is no different from throwing themselves into the tiger's mouth, which makes no sense at all.
Where would it be? Shiler thought. Batman has already been in contact, might have been prepared there long ago; not too many powerful beings; he has some power to resist; it is best to have someone to respond.
An answer was ready to come out—"Dream Realm."
Constantine looked up at him, his fingers tapping the armrest lightly. "I have seen Morpheus once."
"When?"
"A long time ago, probably when I was seven." Constantine said. "He said something in my dream, but I forgot everything after waking up. That wasn't a wonderful experience, it could only be called... eerie?"
"Have you entered the Dream Realm?"
Constantine shook his head and said, "The information that angels and devils want to convey to me has completely occupied my dreams. It is almost impossible to pass through these things to go to the real Dream Realm. At least I can't do it."
"But the Batmen can." Shiler said, nothing can be faster than the speed of their thinking. I can escape using this method, and they can probably do it too.
Shiler hadn't forgotten how Arrogance escaped. In fact, he didn't escape at all; his body was still trapped on the Source Wall. It was just that his consciousness could return to the tower and then leave. Although the speed of hitting the Source Wall was fast, it was not faster than the speed of thinking.
If Batman had made arrangements in the Dream Realm long ago, then at the moment the crisis occurred, it was possible for him to sink directly into the subconscious, then connect to the Dream Realm, and let his consciousness leave.
It's not certain if all Batmen can do it, but the main universe Batman and Arkham Batman can definitely do it. Other Batmen with higher strength should also be able to. And the main universe Batman brought good hands this time; if they had discussed it long ago, it wouldn't be strange for everyone to escape.
But the strange thing is, if they really entered the Dream Realm, they would have definitely come back by now. Even without a body, they could contact Martian Manhunter through the spiritual world, at least let the Justice League know they are safe, and then think of a way to retrieve their flesh together.
But now, no Justice League in any world has received their news, not even news from the Battleworld. This means that even if they successfully escaped from the Source Wall, they must have encountered other troubles and lost contact.
Shiler felt a bit of a headache. Although it couldn't be blamed on Batman's subjective initiative being too strong, sometimes their too complete contingency plans would also lead to some unexpected situations, making everyone completely unprepared.
"The two of us probably have to go to the Dream Realm." Shiler said.
"To find Batman? Are you sure they didn't encounter trouble?"
"Not to find Batman, but to find Joker." Shiler sighed and said, "Although I think he might have had an accident too."
In Shiler's speculation, the contact person in the Dream Realm that the Batmen were looking for might be Joker Jack. That's right, compared to the Nameless Bat, Jack is much more reliable. You can't say he isn't a Pale Knight in another sense; even if the vehicle is a truck, he can go thousands of miles for Batman.
The fact is, after Gotham was saved, Jack's work became much more leisurely. After all, he doesn't need to buy bombs and crime tools, and Brainiac doesn't collect property taxes; earning a little is enough for himself to eat. This gave him a lot of time, and most of the time should have been spent in the Dream Realm. After all, it is an infinite open world with countless things to explore.
To some extent, Jack's degree of self-exploration is higher than all Jokers. Precisely because of this, he doesn't need to find pleasure in exploring Batman's spiritual world. The main universe Batman can easily see this point. Letting him be the contact person in the dream world sounds absurd, but it is completely feasible.
And precisely because his degree of exploration of the dream world is high, he only needs to drive a truck to pick Batman up. This matter has no difficulty at all. If it didn't succeed, it means he likely encountered trouble too.
Although it seems that Shiler and Jack together should possess the full authority of the Dream God, in fact, it is not like that at all. The life forms of the two of them don't support them being the Dream God. Morpheus is a natural mysterious being, and only such a being can truly and completely control a mysterious field. Life in the material world can't do it, so it is possible for Jack to be trapped in the Dream Realm.
"How are we going to go?" Constantine asked.
"You come with me to a place first." Shiler said. "Don't be surprised when you see anything later, and don't ask why they are happy. Just walk."
Shiler took Constantine to the tower. There is no doubt that another heated discussion is unfolding, and the theme is probably "who should we help if Lucifer and Anatoly fight." And the agent completely ignored all this and took Constantine into the abyss.
This perfect teammate didn't let him down. Although Constantine felt a little surprised, he remained silent throughout, neither asking nor commenting, just silently accepting all this.
However, the process of entering the Dream Realm was not smooth. They dived to the bottom all the way, only to find that the passage here was closed. Because they couldn't stay at the bottom for too long, otherwise they might lose themselves, they had to float up again.
Other Shilers were only busy watching the fun and didn't find that the passage had a problem at all. Shiler could only sigh and return to the reality world with Constantine, preparing to find another passage to go. That is Constantine's spiritual world.
There is a passage below everyone's spiritual world, but not everyone can dive so deep in the subconscious. Constantine had never explored his own subconscious. However, he quickly mastered the method, but unfortunately, the passage there was also closed.
"This is very wrong." Shiler said. "I'm afraid the entire Dream Realm has a problem."
