Chapter 4617: Aftermath (Part 2)

"So. Your method is to go through the abyss below the Gao Ta?" Strange looked at Charles and said: "Are you sane?"

Charles just explained very calmly: "This is not impossible. There is no one in the abyss now, and it is actually very quiet. Even if we go down, we won't be hunted down; Jörmungandr can testify."

"In addition, Schiller has experience in opening channels to the Dream Kingdom. In fact, the channel under his subconscious was opened by him; Jack can testify to this. Although the channel is sealed now, we can open a new one, can't we?"

The Batmen looked at each other. Main Universe Batman said: "But Schiller is injured after all, he is still recuperating. Is it not quite... for us to do this?"

"He is recuperating in the Gao Ta, not in the abyss. The movement below won't affect him."

"I mean, if we work there, there will definitely be many people coming and going, which probably won't be too quiet. This might not be conducive to the patient's recuperation."

"It's only not conducive to the recuperation of ordinary patients, but Schiller is obviously not an ordinary person," Charles appeared somewhat helpless. "Without gossip to watch, he is truly too restless. This is the main reason I proposed this plan."

Main Universe Batman opened his mouth. He suddenly remembered that Schiller had a characteristic—that is, the worse his state, the better his state; the more seriously injured he was, the more excited he became.

Now, the Gao Ta has been cracked by the impact, his injuries should not be light, which is exactly when he is excited. Even Charles might not be able to make him stay in his room and recuperate obediently. If you don't find something for him to do, he will have to find something for the multiverse to do.

Traits like Arrogance and the Agent are all fine; Greed might already be formulating a big plan. As for the pathological state... in this situation, being able to let them stay in the Gao Ta, anyone who comes would have to say Charles is invincible.

The Batmen exchanged a few glances, seemingly discussing, but actually having no other choice. Main Universe Batman said: "Alright, let Jack try. Hope for good news."

And Strange's first reaction to hearing this plan was to oppose it, but he soon received Erik's death stare. After watching Schiller for just a little while, Charles was visibly exhausted. If he didn't find something to divert his attention, even a super psychic couldn't hold up.

Strange had nothing to do with the work of opening the channel, so he decided to visit Schiller, and by the way, confirm that he really wouldn't be affected. As a result, as soon as he entered the Gao Ta, a circle of Schillers was neatly surrounding the second-floor atrium, and they were all staring straight down. That scene was truly chilling to anyone who saw it; even Batman wouldn't dare stay long.

"Uh, are you all okay?" Strange asked.

"I think I'm fine," Greed answered him. "Charles is a bit too fussed. In fact, we have completely recovered."

Strange couldn't help but look up; the crack in the Gao Ta was still there, showing no sign of disappearing at all. He pointed there and said: "What about that? Aren't you going to fix it?"

"Charles helped us fix it, let's just make do with it for now," Greed continued. "Obviously, solving the multiverse crisis is more important. You tell Charles to let us down. That Black Lantern power can't stir up any waves."

"Yeah, compared to the tsunami you created, Black Lantern power really isn't much," Strange said. "It's useless for you to look at me. Like you said, I'm a surgeon, I don't have prescription rights."

After speaking, he went down. Greed sighed deeply: "Really, can't count on anyone at a critical moment."

So they could only watch the show with eager eyes from upstairs. Fortunately, this show was indeed a show. First, Jack came over to investigate the possibility of opening another channel on the spot; then Batman discussed the plan; the Justice League went down to work. Going back and forth many times, it finally made Schiller not so bored.

Of course, when it was working hours, the addition of the "get off work league" was even more fun. Because they were still in the stage of denouncing Bruce, and Bruce was playing the East Coast, debating with scholars and fighting many alone, not losing the wind at all, and could even spray Batman together. The Schillers squatted on the second floor and watched I don't know how many concerts.

After being busy for a while, the channel was finally opened. But this was just the beginning, because splitting troops into different dreams to solve the Black Lantern power was even more of a large-scale group dungeon review and public execution scene.

It's not that they didn't want to return to the real world to argue again; they really couldn't hold it until then. Basically, as soon as they surfaced and returned to the Gao Ta, they started spraying their teammates.

Actually, if they formed a team in the Justice League way, or in the way of counterparts, it wouldn't be like this. But in fact, it was completely impossible. Because finding a way to wake up the Sandman, this process requires Charles, Charles is bound to Erik, Erik's temper is not very good; and the process of waking up requires a mage, Strange obviously isn't very understanding either.

These two people are obviously big stubborn heads, and they were team leaders before, obviously not quite used to being team members. And because the number of Batmen wasn't enough, they couldn't appear in every team to adjust their relationship, which led to the cooperation being a disaster at the beginning.

"How many times have I said, mages don't leave the team to act!" Main Universe Superman raised his voice, "I know you are very strong, and I know you want to see what the dream core is. But there are zombies all around, can you wait for me to clear the monsters before going over?!"

"Then why don't you reflect on why you clear them so slowly?" Strange sprayed back, "The power leaked from the dream core is fleeting. If you don't seize the opportunity, that dream of ours will be in vain. Do I look like I have the leisure to waste time with you here?"

On the other side, I heard Wonder Woman painstakingly saying there: "Mr. Lensherr, and you, Miss Lensherr... alright, you don't surname Lensherr, then Miss Polaris. When you two take action, can you look at your teammates? One magnetic storm from you, and your teammates flew to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!"

On that side, Batman was also emphasizing: "Withdraw immediately after completing the mission, don't linger there. There is no benefit in entanglement with those controlled living corpses. We must preserve our strength..."

Although Schiller didn't witness their combat process with his own eyes, he could roughly hear their plan. It was to sneak into the dream to search, fight, and withdraw. In the form of small teams, jump into every dream, find the dream core, and then let the mage contact the dream core to collect information and locate the Sandman's position.

But just like every search-fight-withdraw game, not being able to search, not being able to fight, and not being able to withdraw are eternal problems. Actually, the first two points are fine; with Charles and the mage, there is basically no problem of not being able to search or fight. But most of the time, there is the problem of not withdrawing in time and consuming too much power.

After this round of searching, everyone was exhausted, and I don't know if they could start the second round. The Batmen didn't even have time to return to the real world to rest and stayed in the Gao Ta to discuss strategy.

"Hey, I say." Schiller's voice came from upstairs, "I think this method of yours is not quite reliable."

Batman looked up. The number of Schillers upstairs had decreased by a few, seemingly to repair the tower, but the number of onlookers was still large. It's just that many were on higher floors, and the speech couldn't be heard clearly, so it was considered quiet.

"Your way of finding people is completely wrong," Greed was almost shouting, "I have a suggestion, do you want to listen?"

Main Universe Batman looked at him without speaking, seemingly judging whether he was sincerely making a suggestion or wanted to do something big again.

"Lucifer and Morpheus don't have a good relationship," Greed leaned on the railing and said, "To be precise, they have fought before. Lucifer should know where Morpheus is."

Batman then remembered that Schiller seemed to not know yet that the Source Wall had a hole, and Lucifer and Anatoly were staying there to block the hole.

"Lucifer has no time," Main Universe Batman said, "Even if he has time, he might not necessarily help us."

"Constantine and Morpheus have slept together. He should also have a way to contact Morpheus," Greed said.

"Constantine is receiving treatment," Main Universe Batman said, "It is unethical to let mental patients in the treatment period participate in work."

Greed naturally understood he was pointing at something, but he still said: "I have also dealt with Morpheus..."

"No." Batman refused flatly, not even intending to pay attention to him anymore. Greed had to say: "Alright, the Serpent of Phryne."

Two Wonder Women in the crowd looked up instantly.

Obviously, both of them had been cursed by the Pharaoh, and whether the curse was lifted was yet to be known. Judging from their expressions, the curse was still in effect.

"Go find Dr. Hall," Greed said, "He will tell you the story in the sand."

Main Universe Batman frowned slightly; although Greed was very capable of causing trouble, he wouldn't shoot without a target. How did the Sandman get involved in these things? The basis was probably derived from Schiller's ability like foresight.

Main Universe Batman decided to believe Schiller; after all, the Dream Kingdom was truly too big, and if they kept searching like this, it would truly never end.

It's not that they didn't want to find a more efficient method, but the Sandman was truly too mysterious. And, according to the timeline, he might have retired more than a decade ago, during which he hadn't contacted anyone, including Lucifer and Constantine. Whether these two people could contact him was still unknown.

"How could it be related to Dr. Hall?" Main Universe Wonder Woman frowned, "Aren't the Halls researchers of ancient Egyptian history and culture?"

"Are you talking about the manager of the Midway City Museum?" Main Universe Batman asked.

Main Universe Wonder Woman nodded. Main Universe Batman showed a look of realization and said: "Hawkman and Hawkgirl are ancient Egyptians. Of course, they are indeed excellent researchers."

Main Universe Wonder Woman seemed very shocked, but she immediately searched for clues from her memory. "No wonder Dr. Hall mentioned ancient Egyptian artifacts as if he were mentioning his own furniture..."

"But what does this have to do with ancient Egypt?"

"That will have to be asked of them."

Main Universe Batman soon found the Halls, because they were in the base of the Main Universe Justice League. Hearing Batman's intention, Dr. Hall was also a bit confused.

You have to know, the Serpent of Phryne was made by him. Whether there were any clues about the Sandman on it, how could he not know? ===== CHAPTER 4618 =====
