Chapter 591

On the other side, the rescue team composed of Batman, Constantine, Superman, and Victor arrived at Shiler's manor. They didn't come here to investigate any clues, but to borrow something.

The butler Merkel received them. After learning about Shiler's condition, Merkel allowed them to enter the manor, and Constantine's target was precisely that bottle of wine Shiler had placed on the bookshelf in the reception room.

This bottle of wine had knocked down quite a few people. Constantine and Merkel had both fallen for this bottle of wine and had been dragged into a dream before, but at this moment, it had become a shortcut for several people to enter the Dream Realm.

If they just fell asleep and dreamed, they wouldn't be able to meet in the consciousness space. After all, Cat Getan didn't have a character like Professor X who could directly connect their brain waves together and let them meet in a dream.

If they just slept on their own, Batman could enter the Dream Realm through the hole at the bottom of his own consciousness, but the other few didn't have such a passage. Moreover, meeting in the Dream Realm wasn't a good idea because they might encounter danger and be picked off one by one.

So, they planned to use the Madness Wine to enter the dream together first, and after entering the same dream space, go downward to enter the Dream Realm. This would be safer.

The effect of the Madness Wine didn't need much mention. The moment Constantine opened the bottle stopper, everyone entered the dream, and Merkel in the real world lifted them onto the sofa in the reception room.

In the dream, they should have appeared in a reception room just like the real world; that was a room in Shiler's Hall of Thought. However, the moment they entered the dream, they began to fall, and then fell to the ground like dumplings.

Several people climbed up, still a bit dizzy, and then when they looked up, they saw a huge ship parked beside them. On the edge of the deck, a row of Shilers poked their heads out to look at them.

"Oh! My God, we found Professor Shiler!" Clark stood up first, waved at the ship, and said: "Hi, Professor, what are you doing here? Why don't you go back to the real world? We are very worried about you!"

Batman stood up from the ground, rubbed his head, and also looked up at that row of Shilers, until he saw a green-haired figure there. Jack the Joker jumped off the ship with a "plop" and then fell in front of Batman.

He ran to Batman with a "thump-thump-thump" and started laughing loudly, saying while laughing: "Batman! Have you ever heard such a funny joke? Someone lost his house, so he can't go back to the real world! And he has to count on Batman to save him, hahahahaha!"

Batman bypassed the Joker, climbed up the ship along the ladder beside the ship, and then found one wearing a doctor's uniform among many Shilers. At this time, Marvel Shiler was sitting on the edge of the deck, looking at the endless white space, thinking about where his home had gone.

Before executing this plan, DC Shiler hadn't told all the Shilers what he was going to do, and all the Shilers on the ship just wanted to go out and get some air, so they didn't know why their home was gone, nor did they know where their home had gone.

"Don't look at me, I don't know anything," Marvel Shiler shook his head. At this time, he was still in a dazed state. He said: "I just sailed back and saw the entire tower was gone."

"Gone? How did it disappear?" Constantine walked up and asked.

"It was... swallowed by a group of cats." When Marvel Shiler said this himself, he felt it was a bit incredible. He couldn't even describe the details and could only repeat: "It was just suddenly swallowed by a group of cats."

Batman narrowed his eyes, clearly not believing it, and his expression clearly said "If you're going to make up a lie, make it more rounded." But Constantine suddenly said: "The Dream of a Thousand Cats, it should be the Dream of a Thousand Cats."

Then, Constantine told the others an ancient legend: "It is said that in ancient times, the Earth was ruled by cats. At that time, the human race was not prosperous, but cats had already developed tribes and built cities. Moreover, they became the masters of humans, making humans build all kinds of landscapes for them."

"However, in order to get rid of the situation of being enslaved, humans united and had a dream of a thousand people, and used the dream to cover reality. In the dream, humans became the masters of the Earth, and cats became servants."

"However, this dream did not completely cover all reality, so it left certain traces. For example, the culture of worshipping cats in Egypt is one of the proofs of this legend."

"However, the cat race never gave up on reversing this situation. When a thousand cats have a dream together, they can return to that glorious era. And what represents the cats' dream is the Dream of a Thousand Cats."

"The Dream King is the representative of dreams, so he can naturally control the Dream of a Thousand Cats. I guess it should be that when Morpheus went to visit Shiler's Hall of Thought, some accident happened, causing the Dream of a Thousand Cats he released to go out of control."

"The Dream of a Thousand Cats represents the cats' dream. Shiler's Hall of Thought was very likely dragged into the cats' dream."

"So, now we have to go into the cats' dream to find Shiler..." Batman said.

Constantine nodded, and then he thought for a moment and said: "We have to go to the Dream Realm first, find the place where the Dream King stores dreams, then find a cat's dream from there, and then use the cat's dream to enter the Dream of a Thousand Cats."

It sounded like this plan was still reliable, so several people set off immediately. Although Shiler's Tower of Thought was gone, the hole in the ground was still there, so they went down along that hole and arrived at the Dream Realm without the Dream King.

Judging from the environment, it was full of birds and flowers here, completely unlike what Constantine said about any danger. But soon, they realized why Constantine was so cautious.

A dream is a place where it's not strange for anything to appear, because any creature's dream is bizarre and strange, which means there are many creatures here that exceed ordinary people's cognition, and they are all dangerous.

As soon as they landed, they encountered a colorful tentacle monster that looked like paint spilled out. The tentacle monster attacked Batman first. Batman rolled directly to dodge the tentacles that were constantly changing shape and color. Constantine's magic radiance lit up in his hand, and he swung hard, cutting the tentacles directly with a light blade.

Clark flew up, and his heat vision plowed through. The monsters on the path ran away in a panic.

Constantine put away his stance, patted Batman on the shoulder, and said: "I just said, with him here, we will be much safer."

Batman didn't say anything, just walked forward along the path Clark had opened. During this period, they also encountered strange ostriches with sharp beaks in groups, flying saucers with more than a dozen legs, walking coconut trees, and various similar strange creatures.

Most of them liked to chase people, and after being attacked, they would scatter and flee. Of course, it might also be because Superman's attack was so imposing, and no matter where the creatures were, they all had the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Having solved these troubles, they finally arrived at the place where dreams were stored. This was a starry sky, with countless bubbles floating in the space, like one star after another.

Constantine used a mysterious occult method that the others couldn't understand to identify the contents of these dreams. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on one of the bubbles.

The others didn't see what was different about this bubble, but Constantine reached out and touched it lightly. In an instant, several people were sucked into the bubble.

They arrived on a beautiful grassland. If one ignored the giant mice in the distance and the fish flying in the sky, it was quite peaceful here. Clark looked at this space and said: "It seems this should be a cat's sweet dream, with mice, fish, and a vast grassland."

"Theoretically speaking, every cat's dream should be connected to the Dream of a Thousand Cats. That is to say, we should now be in the same dream space as Shiler. However, finding his specific location might be a bit troublesome. Where would he be now?"

Constantine turned his head to look around, seemingly thinking about how to find Shiler in this space.

But at this moment, Batman instinctively walked in one direction. The others walked over with some confusion, wanting to stop him, but Batman said: "I can feel it, this way is the direction of Cat Getan."

"What is the basis for this?" Clark asked confusedly: "How could there happen to be a Cat Getan in the dream world? Moreover, this is still a cat's dream."

Victor grabbed Clark, who was about to stop Batman, and then said to him: "I often hear Shiler say a sentence: what doesn't belong to Cat Getan will always leave, but some people just belong to Cat Getan. They will definitely go to Cat Getan, no matter where they are."

Looking at Batman's back walking in front, Victor sighed, shook his head, and then followed his pace. Clark felt a bit baffled, but Constantine, who walked up, patted him on the shoulder and followed as well. Clark had no choice but to follow them forward.

I don't know how long they walked, they finally crossed this grassland, then crossed a few small towns, arrived opposite a river, and then crossed the sea.

In a dream, distance is not an obstacle, nor will one feel exhausted because of it, and one can't even feel the passage of time. Several people just walked and walked like this, and finally, arrived at a coastline.

Opposite the coastline was a huge city, appearing dark and terrifying under the moonlight. No one needed to call out its name; everyone thought of that word in their hearts, as if all such cities should be called Cat Getan.

Batman stood on a reef by the sea, his cape fluttering in the wind. Before he could speak the deep lines he had prepared, Clark in the air landed and said: "What's going on? Why are there cats everywhere in the city?"

The deep atmosphere around Batman instantly disappeared. He looked at Clark. Clark rolled his eyes and said: "I can't be wrong, my vision is very good. In that city ahead, it's all cats."

"Indeed, a dream world ruled by cats should indeed be all cats. The problem is, in the dream of the Dream of a Thousand Cats, humans might still be slaves. If we just go in like this, I'm afraid..."

"Could it be that we can't even beat a few cats?" Victor asked: "Even if all the residents of Cat Getan are cats now, they are just cats. Could it be that he can't deal with them?"

Victor pointed at Clark. Who knew, Clark said with a grave expression: "No, how can I hurt kittens? I have a cat at home, I like it very much. My parents taught me since I was a child that I must never pull a cat's tail. If there are stray cats on the street encountering trouble, I must help as much as possible. We must have love..."

Victor opened his mouth, really having nothing to say. Constantine also agreed: "I'm afraid the cats here are not quite the same as what you imagine. If the legend of the Dream of a Thousand Cats is true, then in the cats' dream world, cats occupy the Earth like humans and have developed for so many years, I'm afraid they have already possessed technology or magic no weaker than humans."

"If we just rush in like this, what we might face is not just the siege of thousands of cats, but also some weapons we can't imagine. After all, these sharp-toothed and sharp-clawed little guys can do anything. Once they have weapons, it's not just as simple as pushing a bottle off a table..."

Batman looked at the city he was familiar with and narrowed his eyes. He was the first to propose: "We turn into cats and mix in."

"But we are humans, how do we turn into cats?" Clark asked.

"Don't forget, this is in the dream world. An unchanging rule of the dream world is 'believing is seeing.' As long as you think you are a cat, you can turn into a cat, just like this..."

As soon as Constantine finished speaking, with a "pop," he turned into a golden shaded cat. The fur color was a bit like his hair color, and one could tell from the expression in his eyes that he was Constantine.

The second one to turn into a cat was Batman. His willpower was not to be underestimated. The blue-eyed black cat had a vigorous figure, and even that slender tail seemed to be born for battle.

Victor thought for a moment. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, but he was hesitating about what kind of cat to turn into. After thinking about it, he turned into a Russian Blue cat, a bit bluer than an ordinary blue cat. He said: "I like blue, not bad, right?"

Finally, only Clark was left standing in place. He asked: "What do you mean, thinking you are a cat, you can turn into a cat? But I'm not a cat?"

A helpless expression appeared on Batman's cat face. Constantine walked up and patted Clark's pant leg with his paw. Clark squatted down, picked him up, shook his front paws, and said with a smile: "It's really quite like it, my cat at home is orange."

Constantine also sighed. In Clark's hand, he waved his paw, magic radiance flashed, and Clark was turned into an orange cat with stripes. When the two cats landed at the same time, Constantine licked his paw and said: "If imagination is not enough, then use magic to make up for it."

Clark looked at his paws in surprise. Suddenly, he flew up from the ground. The other three cats all looked at him.

Batman turned to look at Constantine. Constantine hesitated for a moment and said: "His superpower seems to transcend the boundary between reality and dream. No matter which world he is in, it won't be weakened, even if he turns into a cat..."

"Then our safety is even more guaranteed." Victor said. Discovering that his superpower was still there, Clark breathed a sigh of relief. He landed on the ground, walked in front of the few cats, extended a paw, pointed at the city, and said:

"Extreme Spirit Chaos Decision"

"Let's go, the Cat Squad is going to save the world."
