Chapter 2897 When Night Falls (XV)
"We found a place out of the sun just for you." The Arkham Knight took off his helmet and said.
Now they are in a closed factory. Because it was originally used to produce dangerous chemical raw materials, the factory has no windows and is like a big black box. It was shut down a few years ago, making it a perfect base.
Arkham Knight has extensive experience in building bases for himself. He even managed to get a lot of useful machinery and daily necessities in just half a night, and of course, the help of Doctor Strange's undead monsters was also indispensable.
Ever since he discovered that the undead creatures he summoned could be used for more than just fighting, Arkham Knight's opinion of Doctor Strange has completely changed, and the two can even chat with each other now.
Arkham Knight was actually very shocked that Moonlight Schiller came back safe and sound. He suspected that Batman might not be at home, leaving Schiller without any injuries. Otherwise, how could he not be hurt at all?
However, he discovered that Moonlight Schiller's clothes had changed color. They were originally pure black, but now some parts of the fabric were still black, but they glowed silver when viewed from the side.
This makes the whole outfit look like a black lake rippling with moonlight, which is much better looking than the original pure black suit.
They settled down in the base, and Doctor Strange began to formulate a battle plan. In order to better implement the plan, he first had to introduce himself and explain his situation.
Doctor Strange's purpose of coming here is actually to kill a lot of people. As a necromancer, he can absorb the power of living beings. The more he kills, the faster his wounds heal, and the more capital he has to negotiate with those hypocritical people.
He did not hide it from the other two people and told them directly that he was in a bad condition and all the injuries were caused by other isomorphs.
This necromancer Doctor Strange is unlucky. There is no need to say how he became a necromancer. The problem is that he has never met other Doctor Stranges and thought that everyone is the same as him.
So when he entered the fighting world, he was in trouble. Strange had a bad temper to begin with, and after becoming a necromancer he became even more gloomy and weird. He started quarreling with his other selves without saying a word.
When the quarrel developed into a fight, his secret was exposed. After all, the other Doctor Strange was the Sorcerer Supreme, and most of them were used to upholding justice. They fought against these monsters who practiced black magic.
So the Necromancer Doctor Strange became the target of a beating. It happened that their base was located in the Himalayas, the lair of other Sorcerers Supreme. The Necromancer Doctor Strange was chased up and down and was almost beaten to death.
Fortunately, he was not the only evil Doctor Strange. Later, a guy with some Darkseid Book came, and the other Sorcerer Supremes chased him, so he managed to survive.
So he quickly tried to find a copy to restore his strength, but he also knew that other teammates would be queued up in this copy. What if he encountered a few Justice Guards as well? Not only would he not be able to kill people to replenish his blood, he would also have to take another beating.
So he thought about it and chose a copy that was suspected to be a vampire. If he killed someone, he would be beaten by a superhero, so killing vampires should be okay, right?
Facts have proved that his choice was correct. The people he arranged were all unlucky people and had no moral burden at all.
The situation of Arkham Knight was similar. Although he did not develop to the point of being beaten up by a group of people, his giant bat doll was so hateful that he felt that if he did not leave, he would be eaten by other Jason Todds, so he also chose a copy where he could kill people with pleasure.
After both of them talked about their identities, abilities, and energies, they turned their attention to Schiller.
Schiller remained silent.
Arkham Knight also saw that he was not a talkative person and had no intention of getting to the bottom of the matter, but at this moment a tall figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the room.
The figure with the skull-like falcon head really scared them both. The necromancer Doctor Strange, because he had not become the Sorcerer Supreme, did not recognize this unpopular African deity.
"I am Kong Su, his patron saint." Kong Su had no choice but to introduce himself, and then introduced Schiller, "His name is Schiller. I suggest you don't mess with him, and don't let anyone else mess with him."
After saying this, Kong Su disappeared.
Doctor Strange was mainly thinking about Khonsu's last words, but now, only one sentence lingered in Arkham Knight's mind - "His name is Schiller..."
Maybe it's a coincidence, Arkham Knight thought.
If this had not been mentioned, Arkham Knight would not have thought about it in that direction, but now that it was brought up, he couldn't help but look at Moonlight Schiller's exposed eyebrows.
This sight made me break out in a cold sweat.
The bad news is that he looks a lot like Schiller, and the even worse news is that the other party is also looking at him.
It doesn't matter, they are just isomorphs from different universes, Arkham Knight comforted himself in this way, but in fact it didn't comfort him much, because his unforgettable experience with Schiller was much deeper than that of Batman.
"Open him up, or I'll open you up."
The devilish words kept lingering in his ears, and for a long time, they replaced the clown's crazy laughter and became the main theme of his nightmares.
At this point, Arkham Knight also encountered the same question as Batman. If this person is a younger version of Schiller, then how did he develop into what he was later?
Although this guy doesn't look like a good person, he is not of the same style as the doctor who came later. You don't need to know in depth to know that he is obviously better at physical therapy, and his main medical theory is that as long as you die, you will naturally be free of disease.
This doesn't look like a civilized person who would talk to you.
But Doctor Strange was a little dissatisfied. We agreed to exchange information. We both finished speaking, but it was your turn and you didn't say anything. Do we look so easy to fool?
He was about to open his mouth when the Arkham Knight stopped him with his hand and said, "I know Mr. Schiller's counterpart from another universe. He is naturally a man of few words."
Doctor Strange looked at him suspiciously. In his opinion, this guy who called himself Arkham Knight was not a talkative person. Why did he open his mouth at this time?
"Let's talk about something else," said the Arkham Knight.
"But since he doesn't tell us about his abilities, we can't arrange any tasks for him." Doctor Strange, the necromancer, said, "Although he seems to have some superpowers, if there are any triggering conditions, we don't know what will happen..."
"He doesn't have any superpowers." Arkham Knight shook his head and said, "That should be the power given to him by the god called Khonsu. We just saw that he is quite capable in fighting. He should be a good helper in a melee. That's about it."
Doctor Strange wanted to ask more, but was quickly interrupted by the Arkham Knight and the topic was changed. It's not that the Arkham Knight didn't want to reveal information. Schiller seemed to be a man of few words now, but what if he was pretending?
When Schiller opens his mouth and starts talking again, won't we two be sold out by him and help him count money?
So it’s better to talk less. Don’t worry about what his purpose is in keeping silent. Just hold on for a while. Besides, there is a certain chance that Schiller had this style when he was young.
He was lucky this time, thought the Arkham Knight, because he met the young Schiller and the older one didn't come. If he met the one who killed the Joker last time, he would be doomed.
In Wayne Manor, Robins were all dizzy when they woke up. The mist-type anesthetic had some side effects. Everyone was a little confused and didn't quite remember what had happened in the last period of time.
Because of her serious injuries, Cassandra was sent to the medical bay by Batman. The Robins were a little frustrated that they lost a general before the battle officially started.
But just as Batman expected, they quickly cheered up and even became indignant, wanting to avenge Cassandra.
Batman was somewhat helpless about this. The Bat Family was built with him as the core, but Batman was not only their boss, but also their father, so there were too many personal relationships involved in the organizational structure.
To be more precise, it is more like a gang than a formal company, driven by emotions rather than interests, and it often acts on impulse.
Although it can make the Robins' relationships better and more united, it also has significant shortcomings in terms of organizational strength. Apart from anything else, the last person who used underworld methods to rule the organization still believed that "the advantage is mine", which shows how much impact this thing has on organizational strength.
The hot-tempered Jason quit first and was about to go find the vampire for a duel with the vampire with his gun. Damian also joined in. Tim asked them to calm down. Barbara also said that there was not enough information at the moment and a rash attack would easily put themselves in danger. As a result, they shifted the topic to who has a good relationship with Cassandra.
Dick should have spoken up to dissuade them, but he knew that he had exposed the existence of magic in the last battle. If he spoke up now, it would be easy for others to point their guns at him. He also felt a little guilty, so he didn't say anything.
In fact, the original organizational relationship of the Bat Family was able to maintain a balance, and the eldest brother Nightwing made a great effort. Most of the time, he managed for Batman, mediated various conflicts and quarrels, and everyone was more convinced of him.
But now Dick is unwilling to speak out of guilt, and the others do not have enough say, so they can only join the two factions instead of mediating. The impulsive faction and the rational faction are confronting each other, and no one can convince the other.
Some people may ask, doesn’t Batman care?
After all, father and eldest brother are different. The eldest brother among brothers is considered to be one of their own. If there is any problem, they go to him, which is completely different from going to father to complain. They are also unwilling to let Batman interfere in these matters.
So by accident they actually achieved the effect Schiller had described. The Robins split into two factions, one wanted to take radical measures, the other thought they should investigate the intelligence first and take it slow.
No matter which faction the traitor hides in, he must help his faction gain an advantage to gain Batman's trust so that he can secretly manipulate the actions of the Bat Family.
The Robins began to take turns to find Batman and tell him their ideas, hoping that he would support them.
Only Dick approached Schiller. It was obvious that he was exposed in the last incident. Although no one pointed it out, many people were avoiding him in both open and covert ways, which made Dick a little frustrated.
But Batman was very concerned about Dick's situation. When he saw Dick was depressed and went to find Schiller, alarm bells went off in his heart.
Schiller actually wanted to talk to each Robin individually. He was sure that no Robin could hide himself under his pressure.
So this forms a strange four-corner relationship, the Robins look for Batman, Batman looks for Dick, Dick looks for Schiller, and Schiller looks for Robin.
The Bat Family has had this kind of multi-cornered relationship before, but this time there was an outsider involved. The Robins were immediately unhappy and wanted to find Schiller again to test his intentions.
As a result, Batman was overwhelmed when he saw his birds flying into the flame one after another. To put it simply, he got two blisters at the corners of his mouth that night.
I was trying to catch a flight but it was delayed. I was so sleepy after the 20-hour flight. I slept for another 15 hours after returning. Sorry for being late.
