Chapter 585: Adventures in Gotham City (Part 1)

The first floor, or ground floor, of the Mind Palace has no rooms, only doors, windows, the ground, and stairs leading to the upper floor. Because of this, Schiller can observe the situation outside the Mind Palace through the windows on the first floor.

Because this is a round tower, the view from the window is also very wide, and at this time, the tower of the Mind Palace is right in the center of the turntable in the center of Gotham City, so the situation in the entire center of Gotham City is in full view.

After being swallowed by the group of kittens transformed by the Thousand Cats Dream, Schiller guessed what might happen next, but he didn't expect that the Thousand Cats Dream would actually drag his entire Mind Palace into the cat's dream.

After taking a look at the situation outside, Schiller walked back to the center of the first floor. He looked at Morpheus, the god of dreams. Without him asking, Morpheus explained: "I have said before that the Dream of a Thousand Cats is the collective dream of cats. Now, it must have been frightened, so it pulled you all into its dream."

"As I said before, cats once ruled the world. Cats were masters and humans were servants. It's just that a thousand people had a dream together, and then replaced the dream with reality, so humans became the masters of the earth."

"However, the cat's dream did not dissipate, and it still exists in the dream kingdom. In the cat's dream, the world ruled by cats also exists. As you can see, in the cat's dream, the inhabitants of the world are of course cats."

"The first question..." Schiller asked: "Why Why is there Gotham in the cat's dream?"

"This..." Morpheus shook his head and said, "Although I say I don't know, it may sound like I am deliberately unwilling to tell you, but the fact is that I don't know either."

"As far as I know, Gotham is a very strange place. The dreams of everyone there will bring a cold and dark wind to the dream kingdom. There has never been a place as special as Gotham."

"Perhaps, in addition to the people living there, the cats there are also different. They remember this place cursed by darkness..."

Schiller frowned. Although Morpheus' explanation was ambiguous, Schiller, who had read the comics, had more speculations. Gotham is indeed a cursed place. There is no doubt that the darkness here is not a simple economic and political issue, but also involves mysticism.

If you look at it from the perspective of breaking the fourth wall, Gotham will exist in any state of the universe, because it is the garbage dump of the entire universe, and darkness and chaos will eventually flow here.

In this case, it is not surprising that there is such a place in the cat's dream. No matter who rules the world, the darkness of Gotham will never change. Perhaps the place where Schiller landed is different from Gotham in terms of geographical location, but as long as it is a garbage dump of sin, then it is Gotham.

At this moment, Morpheus turned to Schiller and said, "Although you messed up my home, I let Xiao Hei out just to let him get some fresh air. After all, staying in the dreamland all day would be annoying."

"I didn't expect it to react so violently and move your house away directly, but it doesn't matter, I'll take you back now..."

As he spoke, Morpheus's hands lit up, but suddenly, Schiller stepped forward to stop him and said, "No, I don't want to go back now..."

Morpheus looked at Schiller and said, "Are you sure? But don't blame me for not reminding you that your consciousness was brought into the cat's dream, and your body was uncontrolled and might fall into eternal sleep..."

"That's better." Schiller gave an unexpected answer, and he showed a back-chilling smile.

Morpheus looked at Schiller's smile and felt a chill on his back. He asked, "...What do you want to do?"

Schiller did not answer. He just stood in the middle of the ground floor, looked up, and shouted, "Superego? Superego? Are you there?"

"I am improving my mental defense. Don't you see that it's a mess outside?" A voice came from upstairs.

Several people on the ground floor turned their heads to look out the window. As expected, this giant building that suddenly landed in the center of the town attracted the attention of all the residents of Gotham, the cat city.

The shrill sirens sounded, and a number of police cars rushed to the scene. Police cats wearing safety protective clothing and helmets entered the scene, set up anti-explosion shields, set up roadblocks, and surrounded the gate of the tower step by step.

Schiller found that this was not just replacing human characters with cats. These cats were not the anthropomorphic cats on two feet in cartoons, but very normal four-legged cats with their tails erected.

The equipment used by these cats is adapted to cats. For example, they do not drive cars while sitting and turning the steering wheel and stepping on the accelerator, but stand on all fours in the cockpit, and the controllers for controlling the direction and speed of the vehicle are the buttons under their feet.

The equipment worn by the cat police officers is also adapted to the form of cats on all fours. They do not hold their guns in their hands, but carry them on their backs. Moreover, their weapons are not live ammunition firearms that need to be loaded, but a weapon similar to a laser.

The communication equipment they carried extended into their ears at one end, with the earphones hidden in the ear hair, and the other end connected to their mouths. The joystick for controlling the firing extended from the side of the neck to the chest. They only needed to stretch out their claws and fiddle with it to fire.

Schiller saw with his own eyes that in order to clear the curbs of the road in front of the tower gate, several cats carrying road-clearing equipment operated the laser weapons on their backs, and with a few "whoosh" sounds, the entire road was destroyed.

In addition, the vehicles they drove were not only cars, but also small helicopters that kept circling the tower and flying saucers suspended in the air. Obviously, the cats in this dream have developed much stronger technological equipment than Gotham in the real world.

Although in terms of size, they should be only a little bigger than ordinary house cats, probably the size of ordinary Maine Coons, but the equipment they arranged around the tower and carried on their bodies is not vegetarian.

The destructive power of that laser is very strong, and there are many equipments that have not been fired. I don’t know what the effect is, but it is definitely more than enough to fight ordinary humans.

This means that it is not a good idea to rush into the cat group relying on the size advantage. Schiller touched his chin and said: "I think we should not be able to beat them, so we should change our way."

"Wait a minute!" Morpheus interrupted Schiller's plan. He said: "Don't tell me that you are going to enter this city. This is not a good idea. In a world ruled by cats, humans are either slaves or pets. I'd better take you away directly..."

Schiller ignored him completely, but said to himself: "... But we can join if we can't beat them. Super me, are you done? If you are done..."

Schiller dragged a long tone, then looked at Moonlight Schiller, Lex, Kongsu standing in the middle of the room, and Jörmungandr who poked his head behind them, and he took Then he said:

"... It's time for the trouble makers to make up for their mistakes."

The two people, one snake and one bird, who were stared at by his eyes, were stunned for a moment. Lex spoke first: "When I came out of the room, I only saw a cat and a snake, and then the cat disappeared, leaving only the snake..."

He turned his head to look at Jörmungandr, who said unhappily: "What does it have to do with me? I am also a victim. The cat bit me and ran away. Otherwise, I must make him look bad! And it was obviously him who scared the cat..."

Jörmungandr turned his head and looked at Moonlight Schiller holding an umbrella knife. Moonlight Schiller said nothing, but turned his head to look at Kongsu, meaning that if Kongsu hadn't suddenly skipped work, he wouldn't have rushed out of the room.

Kongsu turned his head to look at the dream god, meaning that if the dream god Morpheus hadn't chatted with him, he wouldn't have delayed his work time.

Morpheus turned his head and looked at DC Schiller again, meaning that if Schiller hadn't brought him here, he wouldn't have chatted with Kong Su.

Schiller folded his arms and snorted coldly, saying, "Do you still want to blame me?"

Suddenly, with a "bang", a puff of smoke came out beside DC Schiller, and when the smoke dissipated, Schiller turned into a black cat.

An invisible hand grabbed the back of his neck, and the door opened with a "creak". The hand grabbed Schiller Cat and shook it twice, then "whoosh" threw him out of the door.

Everyone standing in the middle of the room looked at Schiller who was thrown out, and they heard the voice called "superego" just now say:

"It's time for the person who caused the trouble to make up for his mistakes."
