Chapter 595: Adventures in Cat City Gotham (Part 3)

The rescue team led by Batman followed the crocodile-cat toward the deeper part of the sewer. Not long after, noisy music and screams came from the end of the sewer.

The atmosphere of a low-key and dark resistance army that Batman and the others had imagined didn't appear. In the huge empty space used to store rainwater in the sewer, a party of lunatics was being held.

And Batman locked onto the green cat standing at the highest point of the stage, as well as the red and blue cat beside him, at a glance.

It was hard to imagine that at this moment, the few cats who were originally humans could actually distinguish between male and female from the cat's appearance. But there was no doubt that the green cat was a male cat, while the red and blue cat was a female cat.

"Oh, look, who is it? Batman cat! How are you willing to come to my party? Have you finally put down your stupid plan to rule Gotham and come to play with your best friend?"

The green cat's face was sharper than other cats, and when he revealed a smile, the full mouth of sharp teeth was strange and terrifying.

"He's not Batman cat." The crocodile-cat was just about to explain, but the green cat swooshed down from the platform, bumped into the crocodile-cat, and walked to the opposite side of Batman. He looked at Batman with purple pupils and said: "Interesting... interesting... your scent is different..."

"That Batman cat living in the high-rise building has a disgusting smell of bird droppings, and you..." The green cat circled Batman a few times, used his nose to sniff his fur. After circling a few times, he came to Batman's front and said: "Another Batman cat? Are you his clone? No, you are not quite the same..."

"But no matter what, let's welcome our party newcomer, the eternal rival and good friend of the Joker cat gang, the unprecedented—another Batman cat!"

(Author's note:!)

Instantly, the musician cats wearing various rock costumes and standing on the stage made of iron barrels played music at the same time. The huge sound startled the few cats. The green cat started clutching his stomach and laughing loudly, saying: "Sorry, I forgot, cats are very sensitive to sound. Is this your weakness??"

"Joker..." Batman moved his paws and came to the opposite side of the green cat. Joker cat brought his head close to him, even rubbed his chin, and said: "That's right, you are much more sensible than that Batman cat. I am one of the monster cats you hate, Joker cat!"

"Hey, darling, what are you saying to him? I don't want you to rub off a smell of bird droppings!"

"You! You mental patient dressed as a bat! Get away from my darling!" That red and blue female cat walked over with a graceful gait.

Suddenly, she rushed forward, waved her claws, and attacked Batman's ears. Batman dodged with a nimble roll. The red and blue cat stopped in place, licking her paws, looking at Batman with cold eyes, and said: "Get out, you stinky bat, don't disturb my party!"

"Why did you bring him here?" Joker cat turned and walked to the front of the crocodile-cat. The crocodile-cat explained: "You said we were short of people recently. I think these outsiders should have a lot in common with you..."

"You mean them?" Joker cat snorted coldly and said: "This one, Batman cat's clone... this one, the little brat from the Big Apple City... and this one, did you just come out of the red-light district? There's a stinky smell on you... and you, blue? I hate blue!"

"What can they do? Defeat Batman cat? Return peace and tranquility to this city? Or make him stop emitting the smell of shit from the Batcave when he gives his next speech?... Stop joking! Even the worst comics now wouldn't draw this kind of plot!"

"Do you have anything to do with the murder case that happened at the bank entrance earlier?" Batman suddenly looked at Joker cat and asked.

"You actually care about this? How boring! Let's continue the party! Watch this city eventually be destroyed by the order created by that Batman cat... Before that, I want to drink more, laugh a few more times, and treat this as a dream..."

That red and blue female cat walked over, rubbed against Joker cat, and said: "Yes, darling, sleep, just in my arms. After the dream wakes up, there won't be so many annoying things..."

As she spoke, the two cats jumped onto the stage again. The crocodile-cat flicked his tail and walked over, saying: "Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with him either. Clearly, yesterday we were still formulating a plan on how to deal with Batman cat, but now he's like this again. But then again, Joker cat is the craziest among us. No one knows what he's thinking..."

"Besides him, who else is there?" Batman asked.

"There's me, and some monster cats similar to me... Forget it, I see you guys aren't interested in us either. Maybe you guys will get along better with the cats in charge of technology. Let's go, I'll take you to the lab to see."

"You guys still have a lab?" Victor walked two steps faster and came to the side of the crocodile-cat. The crocodile-cat nodded and said: "Of course, otherwise where did the equipment and musical instruments you saw come from? Those were all developed by ourselves."

As he spoke, they continued to walk forward along the sewer, passed through a long and narrow ramp, and arrived at a wide underground space. This was a very typical laboratory. The ground had been renovated with metal, and the ceiling and walls had also been supported. Various experimental tables were placed in the center of the ground.

And crossing the front experimental table, Victor, who was walking forward side by side with the crocodile-cat, suddenly froze, because he saw an experimental capsule that looked a bit like a pet box, and there was a cat frozen inside it.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from the side of the experimental table. A gray-blue cat, fully equipped and wearing a helmet, walked over. Seeing a bunch of strangers, he retreated two steps with some vigilance. The crocodile-cat walked up and said: "Don't be nervous, Freeze cat. Uh... you guys probably can't understand. The cat in this freezing capsule is his wife. He's a bit hypersensitive. See the weapon on his back? That's the freeze gun he developed. It's very powerful, isn't it?"

Instantly, all the other cats in Batman's team turned to look at Victor. Victor opened his mouth. He suddenly turned his head and looked at that small freezing capsule. Noticing his gaze, that fully armed gray-blue cat walked quickly to Victor and hissed at him.

Victor took a step back and said: "Sorry."

"Don't be like this, Freeze cat. Uh... you guys probably can't understand. The cat in this freezing capsule is his wife. He's a bit hypersensitive. See the weapon on his back? That's the freeze gun he developed. It's very powerful, isn't it?"

Victor just froze in place. Suddenly, he stared at that freezing capsule and said in a low voice: "... Why is it in this state? Breathing is very weak, there is almost no reaction in the eyes, she..."

Then, he dropped his gaze onto the cat known as Freeze cat. He saw that Freeze cat's state was very abnormal. There were thick ice crystals inside the helmet he was wearing. His torso, limbs, and even his tail were wrapped in mechanical armor, and cold air seeped out from the gaps in the armor.

It reminded Victor of Thomas, who had been soaked in the dense ice raw material liquid before. Victor, who was proficient in this, immediately thought of something.

He gave Batman a wink, and Batman turned around, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the huge music coming from the previous space.

This was an absurd world that was permeated with strangeness. It seemed that every Gothamite could find their counterpart here. The only difference was that the counterparts here were all cats, but it made the whole thing even more ancient.

"Can you find us a place to rest?" Constantine opened his mouth to the crocodile-cat and said: "We were chased by that group of machines for a long time and consumed quite a bit of physical strength."

"Maybe tomorrow, we can participate in your plan, but the premise is to have a good rest."

The crocodile-cat nodded, took a step forward, and said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory area. There happen to be beds there for you to rest."

After entering the dormitory area, Batman and the others discovered that the conditions here were indeed not bad. Not only were there rooms and doors, but they were also single rooms.

Actually, to put it bluntly, it was just like the cat cages in a pet hospital. They each chose a room and walked in, finding that the sleeping place was quite spacious. The few of them lay down separately and started to rest.

After the crocodile-cat left, the entire sewer space fell into darkness. Suddenly, several pairs of eyes lit up. The "click" sound of the door bolt moving sounded. A few seconds later, the few cats gathered together. Victor opened his mouth and said: "That cat called Freeze cat, how is he..."

"That Joker cat should also be real." Batman opened his mouth: "Could Jack have also infiltrated this dream? No, that Joker cat is different from Jack. Jack the Joker's way of speaking and tone are not like that..."

Constantine sat down, his tail tip swaying slightly. He said: "In a dream, everything is possible. I suggest you don't treat the dream as a simple dream. Just like the consciousness space and the dream are indistinguishable, this might be a place that exists in the collective consciousness space of cats, and it is the reality of another group of cats..."

"But how could they correspond to us one by one?" This was what Victor couldn't figure out the most. He said: "It couldn't be that a cat went into my lab and then dreamed of me and my wife, right?"

Constantine shook his head and said: "Regarding this point, I don't have a clue either. But I think we can explore a little bit."

"Are you referring to the environment here?" Batman asked.

"No, I'm referring to the root of this kind of dream. I want to see to what extent this dream has reached."

"What do you intend to do?" The few of them looked at Constantine together.

"I intend to... summon a demon." ===== CHAPTER 596 =====
