Chapter 1751 S Apocalypse Event (Forty-Five)

The proliferation of street orphans in Gotham does not mean that all the children in the city are orphans, but it does not mean that having parents is a good thing. Families living at the bottom of society can give their children too little, and some parents who have been driven crazy by life want too much. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether these children with parents are lucky or unlucky.

But there is a type of children who are the luckiest in Gotham, that is, the children who were not born. The misfortune did not start from the children's generation. At the bottom, there are too many mothers who have to give up their children for various reasons.

This is not even a moral choice. If they choose to give birth, it means that they may not have complete labor for several months. This is very terrifying for the bottom people who have almost no tolerance for error. This is just the most basic human desire for survival.

But this does not mean that they will not be sad. Even if the arrival of this child is not expected, people's desire for a good family life will not change. As long as there is a slight yearning for such a life, the pain of losing a child is inevitable.

Bruce, who had lived in the slums for a while, knew where to find the most crying from his mother. Just like the "hospital" he had seen in the East District, there were places in the slums that were specifically designed to solve this kind of trouble.

The girls who patronized here were relatively young, and some of the young ones made Bruce want to kill people.

But it was true that only young girls would come here. They were often new to the industry and did not have enough experience, while those women who had worked for a long time had their own ways to avoid such things from happening. After all, abortion also requires rest, and not being able to work means no income. They would do their best to avoid similar things from happening.

Most uneducated people need to suffer in order to gain experience, and most of the people who come here are like this. It is precisely because of their youth and inexperience that they still have the energy to cry a few times. Although Bruce came here just for this crying, he still felt that his mood had fallen to the bottom.

Until he saw a boy in the waiting room - usually no men would set foot in such a place. This is not a gynecological hospital in the upper city, where gentlemen show their care for their wives and accompany them. This is just an underground clinic that cannot be seen in the light.

The other girls were also surprised by the boy's appearance, but no one dared to ask. After Bruce observed for a while, he found that the boy was not with his girlfriend, but with a friend of a younger female friend.

They came earlier, got the medicine and left. Bruce vaguely heard the boy call the accompanying girl "Lan". They looked very bad and looked hungry for a long time, but the boy made Bruce feel strange.

He was not like a Gotham man at all. If there was any obvious difference, it was that he was even trying to be responsible for something that had nothing to do with him - Bruce didn't even think about it anymore.

After just a little thought, Bruce turned around and busy himself. He was collecting the tears of these girls, especially those who came for follow-up after taking the medicine. Although some of them had gradually shown the numbness of adults, they were obviously still grieving for the loss of their children.

The atmosphere here made Bruce feel that he couldn't stay for long. Fortunately, there were not many underground clinics, but accidents always happened. Customers who came here had to line up. Bruce spent an afternoon to get the tears he wanted.

He found a cat on the streets of Gotham, opened the bottle of tears and let him smell it.

This is not a ritual with a basis, but Bruce knows that there is a special creature in the dream world, that is cats, and they are all part of the Dream of Thousand Cats.

Bruce once heard the story of the Dream of Thousand Cats from the mouth of Batcat, and knew how powerful she was. I am afraid that her status is second only to the Sandman himself, at least far higher than Jack.

Then the cats in Gotham fabricated by Jack in the dream kingdom could not bypass the Dream of Thousand Cats, and the story of the Dream of Thousand Cats made Bruce know that she would resonate with the grief of losing her son.

Bruce, who has studied mysticism in depth, knows that many magic rituals are produced in this way. The ancient magicians called the demons and angels with things they cared about, and then they could make a deal with them.

Bruce imitated this behavior, and in the end, the Dream of Thousand Cats responded to him.

At first, Dream of a Thousand Cats was very angry about this. He thought Bruce had deceived her because Bruce was not the one who lost his son. He just gathered the grief of others.

But when she felt Bruce's breath, Dream of a Thousand Cats chose to help him, which was even beyond Bruce's expectations. Dream of a Thousand Cats told him that everything he did in Gotham in the real world gave countless mothers and children a home.

Bruce didn't know whether she was referring to cats or people, or perhaps both, because in the Gotham building renovation project, houses used for living can keep pets, and most people who need to live in such houses are unlikely to buy purebred cats. Most of them are my pets if they can't run away from me. Maybe there are really many pregnant female cats who were picked up?

Thousand Cat Dreams is not a human being, and she is not that interested in helping humans, so she just vaguely sent a message to the person Bruce described. Batcat only understood that Bruce wanted to find her. Although Batcat is a cat, he is also Batman. He probably overestimated the seriousness of the matter by 10,000 times.

So, when it came to Clark and Diana, they both agreed that Bruce might be fighting a decisive battle with Sandman.

Although the two were anxious, they knew nothing about the dream kingdom, so they took the most reliable method, which was to call people.

During this period, Clark had just graduated from college. If it weren't for the small fire of Gotham City's reports, he would still be an intern reporter. Although Diana has lived for a long time, she has been working as an art consultant in Metropolis most of the time.

The superheroes they know can be counted on one hand, and there are even fewer who are capable of fighting, so Green Lantern Hal, Green Arrow Oliver and Aquaman Arthur were all called over by them.

They first found a safe place to dream, and Batcat went to their dreams one by one to gather them together, and then went to Gotham, the cat city in the dreamland, and then found the way to the dreamland where Bruce was.

The dreamland is not a real continent. It is a unique space composed of countless dream bubbles. In other words, they can't walk to the dreamland where Bruce is, and they have to think of other ways.

They met God in the dreamland.

Why God appeared here must be discussed from the origin of the comic "Sandman". Although the Sandman series of comics is a comic publication under DC, its worldview is relatively independent, and the focus is not on the battle of superheroes, but a series of bizarre and dreamy stories, absurd and weird, with a dark flavor, which can be called Gothic style, and also has some Dionysian spirit.

The author of this series of comics once mentioned that some power settings of the Sandman series of comics are incompatible with the DC universe, which also leads to the unique power of the Sandman in the Endless family.

There is a common misunderstanding about the power of the Sandman. Some people say that the Sandman has reshaped God, so they think that the Sandman can be on par with God, or at least is one of the few who can influence God.

But in fact, the source of this statement is that Lucifer once mentioned that the external force that shaped God is similar to the Sandman, but the similarity here should refer to the fact that the Sandman is a collection of dreams, while the external force is a collection of cosmic creatures.

All the main comics have not mentioned the details of the Sandman affecting God, and the intersection of the main worldview and the Sandman comic worldview is only Lucifer.

But it is precisely because of the difference between the two worldviews that if there is a place where God's power is still beyond reach, the Dream Kingdom is indeed one of them.

In summary, God came here to find his son.

But he hasn't found it yet. Logically, he only needs to ask the Sandman to know, but the problem is that the owners of the Dream Kingdom are Constantine and Schiller now, and God is not afraid of Schiller. The main thing is that he still needs a good hearing to find his son.

Although he couldn't ask the Sandman, God could still ask the Dream of Thousand Cats. In this way, Batcat and his group who wanted to find the answer in the core of the Dream of Thousand Cats met God.

God sent them directly into the dream where Bruce was. Nothing else, Bruce did a great job in heaven. The best thing was to publish the diary about Lucifer that God had written before. The angrier Lucifer was, the happier God was. It was nothing to help.

Because God sent them in personally, Schiller and Jack, who now had the power of the dream kingdom, didn't feel that there were a few more people in Gotham.

Batcat and his group were also stunned after arriving in this city. Isn't this Gotham? What's the matter with this one-to-one pixel-level reproduction? One Gotham is not enough for the teacher and student?

But they were not affected by the rules of the game, so naturally they didn't become children. To be conservative, the image of these people together can be regarded as a landmark of a city, and it was naturally easy for Bruce to find them.

Bruce took a lot of effort to make this group of people believe that he was Bruce, and spent some time explaining to them what was going on, but he did not mention the cause of this dream world.

Mainly, he was worried that this group of people would turn around and leave when they heard that it was Schiller's doing again. This group of people would definitely do it, and Bruce did not want to let the reinforcements he had finally brought in have problems.

Standing at the end of a secluded alley on the streets of Gotham, Clark looked at Bruce and said, "Why did you call us here just now? As a child, it is very dangerous to live alone on the streets of any city. If you die in the dream world, you will really die!"

"This world will not, but you should also feel that your superpowers are useless. It is the special rules of this world. There are no superpowers here."

"That's not a problem. At least we are adults." Diana touched Bruce's head and said, "Even if we don't have special powers, no academic credentials, and no family background, at least the knowledge we have learned is still in our minds, and it is not difficult to find a job."

"Shouldn't we take him away from here?" Hal objected and said, "What's the point of staying in this city? Isn't this Gotham? You might as well let him stand guard on the roof of Gotham in the real world, and it can also generate some tourism income."

"Of course there is no point in staying in Gotham in the dream world." Bruce nodded and said, "After all, the situation in the real world is much better than here, but there is more than just Gotham here."

"What do you mean?" Diana heard Bruce's words.

"This is a dream, no matter what you do, it will not affect the real world. You will be resurrected if you die here, so don't you have anywhere you want to go?"

Several people were stunned.

At this time, Bruce took out a few plane tickets from his worn-out jacket, and the destination on them was written with a word that they were unfamiliar and familiar with-"Mexico".

"Sandman" is really good, I recommend it
