Chapter 2446: Battle for the Cloak (33)

Chapter 2477: The Battle for the Cape (33)

Remembering the map is a basic skill for Batman. He clearly remembers every detail of the way here, and he remembers even more clearly that the sewers at the door of the safe house are straight. So where does the 180-degree turn in front of him come from?

Batman certainly felt the invasion of fog, but his visor is equipped with thermal imaging, night vision and the bat's unique sound wave return imaging, so even if he knows that he is surrounded by thick fog that cannot be dispersed, he can still see things within his normal field of vision.

What puzzles Batman now is that the sewer on his right, which should have been straight and led to two streets away, has now turned a big bend, as if it was twisted by some force.

And the sewer on his left, which should have had no way to go to this point, has now become a straight waterway that continues to spread outward.

Which way should Batman choose to go?

Batman chose not to go anywhere. He went back to the safe house, took a look at the sleeping Arkham Batman, and chose to walk directly from the ladder of the safe house to the ground.

He climbed up the ladder.

They were in the lower level of the sewer. Even if it was a direct ladder, it would take a while to reach the sewer entrance. Batman kept looking up at the sewer entrance, and the sewer entrance was getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision.

But soon Batman felt the change in gravity. He found that he had to use more force to grab the horizontal bar of the sewer ladder. He looked down and saw that it was no longer the light of the safe house, but a bend.

The passage leading to the ground was also twisted into an arc. Batman was actually crawling in the letter "C" and had climbed to the top, parallel to the real ground instead of vertical, so he needed to use his arms to fix his body.

But the light at the sewer entrance was still close at hand.

Batman decided to retreat.

After descending five or six steps, Batman turned around and looked down. There was no hole under his feet, but another bend.

Looking up again, the sewer opening with faint light became larger in his field of vision, a little too large. He was clearly retreating, but the hole was still getting bigger, as if he was very close.

The bright place that was getting bigger and bigger was like a big mouth, as if it was ready to swallow Batman at any time. Batman paused for a moment and began to retreat.

Climbing down like this, Batman felt that he had climbed at least a few hundred meters, and he couldn't count how many times he had experienced gravity rotation. Anyway, it was one bend after another.

As he retreated, Batman felt that his calf touched something. He lowered his head again. Finally, it was not a bend below. The walls around him were tightening and began to become narrower and narrower.

Something was surging at the end. Batman had a bad premonition. He quickened his pace to climb up and heard a series of sticky rumbling sounds.

The behemoth at the end rushed out. Batman turned around and saw two long tentacles swinging at his side. The soft flesh covered with mucus quickly climbed along the inner wall.

He was racing with the snail in the snail shell? !

Batman climbed up at the fastest speed. The two tentacles kept approaching him, passing over his back and arms. The sticky touch almost stuck Batman in place.

But Batman did not stop. He climbed towards the mouth of the snail shell that was getting bigger and bigger at the fastest speed. With a bang, Batman fell out of the sewer. When he climbed up again, the surroundings were calm as usual.

He looked down and saw that the sewer mouth was the sewer mouth. There were no spiral snail shells that seemed to be endless, no sticky and bloated monster snails, and the small hole could see the lights in the safe room when he looked down, as if everything that had just appeared was an illusion.

Batman threw a detector down.

There was a puff, followed by a familiar buzzing sound. The monitor showed that it was swallowed by the soft and sticky objects squeezed around it, leaving nothing behind.

Batman took a deep breath and covered the sewer. He looked around and found a convenience store nearby.

After clearing out the salt on the shelves of the convenience store, Batman returned to the cave with bags of salt, opened the packages and poured all the salt down. Fierce screams began to come from the cave.

A sticky and turbid water poured out from the cave. The tentacles that had not yet completely melted bounced on the ground, and the naked eyes turned, and finally stared at Batman.

Suddenly, Batman threw down the last bag of salt. He looked at the torn and messy packaging and broke out in a cold sweat.

What was he doing? Why did he do this?

Batman stood up and rubbed his temples hard. Why did his first thought after experiencing some snail-related hallucinations be that salt could kill snails?

Has he done this before? Otherwise, how would he know? Did he kill any snails with salt when he was a kid? Is that true?

Some memories started to get a little confused. On the one hand, he was saying that this was normal. Who didn't dig out ant nests and catch earthworms when they were kids? On the other hand, Batman knew clearly that he definitely didn't do that when he was a kid. He wasn't one of those murderers who started with animal abuse and ended with murder. His childhood was healthy.

His thoughts became a little confused. Batman took a deep breath and began to gradually get rid of those meaningless fantasies.

He ignored the mess on the ground and walked towards the target location alone. On the way, he remembered that there was a hospital nearby, where he should have the wheelchair he wanted.

As he walked, Batman was blocked. A street lamp pole was bent over and blocked in front of him.

It was not broken, but it was like a cartoon character suddenly bent down and turned his upper body sideways to greet him.

Batman ignored the street lamp pole and continued to walk forward. Another street lamp pole was pressed lower, as if to say "Are you really not going to look at me?"

Batman continued to ignore it and continued to walk forward on the road. The two street lamp poles crossed each other and made a cross to him, as if to say "Don't go any further, stop and look at us."

Batman passed under the two street lamp poles, still without looking at them, and then the biggest spectacle so far appeared. The street lamp poles on both sides of the road were twisted together in a spiral.

The structure of the street lamp pole is actually a bit strange, with a straight body and a big head, so when they are entangled together, they look like two twisted people.

The two street lamp poles are twisted very long, and the street lamps hang down, as if saying to Batman, "We are all like this, why don't you look at us?"

Batman didn't look at it at all, and walked around from the side. He had come to the lawn near the hospital. Considering that the local street lamps were impolite, Batman decided to walk through the lawn directly.

When he stepped on the lawn, the lawn was still a good triangle, but as he walked, the corner of his target location began to extend and twist, and turned into a spiral again.

Batman decisively walked to the other side, but the other side also turned into a spiral. Batman looked back and saw that, as expected, the side behind him was also a spiral.

Batman took a deep breath, stretched out one arm, fired a grappling hook at the nearest tree, and pulled himself over directly.

The moment he approached the big tree, he saw that the normal vertical lines on the bark were twisted into dense spirals.

Batman suspected that the world was a giant snail shell.

Ignoring these anomalies, Batman continued to walk towards the hospital gate. He stood at the gate and observed for a while, and found that the stairs on both sides of the front desk were spiral stairs. If he walked up, there might be another big snail chasing him.

Batman chose to use the grappling hook to go directly through the window. He hung on the nearest balcony and jumped up, and then jumped on the one on the side. As long as he found a warehouse or a storage room for medical auxiliary supplies, he could get a wheelchair.

The blue and white striped curtain stripes of the inpatient ward were also turning into spirals one after another, becoming very eye-catching. During each jump, after passing these spiral pattern curtains, Batman would feel a little dizzy.

These spiral patterns seemed to have some magic that kept attracting his attention, which made the interval between his jumps a little longer, and the time he silently calculated in his heart that he was prohibited from staying was almost at the end.

Blurred eye patterns began to appear on the reflective surface, but because there were too many spirals, the eyeballs of those eyes also began to turn into whirlpools one after another.

Finally, the timer reached zero, and Batman saw himself staggering in a town, turning, turning, and turning again. There was no straight road in the whole town, and all he could see were curves.

The fallen leaves blown by the breeze on the long street drew standard vortex patterns, and one after another of the old and dilapidated houses were twisted to one side, and the floor tiles spread along the curved arc.

Batman looked up and saw only a thin black line spiraling down under the dark sky in the distance, which seemed to lead to the center of the town with spiral layout.

When the illusion disappeared, Batman found himself still standing on the balcony, but when he looked down, he saw his spiral footprints left on the balcony surface wet by rain. He had been turning in circles just now.

Batman looked down at his arm, because he found that the arm holding the grappling hook had become a little heavy since just now, and when he raised his arm seriously, he found that one side of his armor was covered with mucus.

It seemed to be the mucus that was rubbed on by the tentacles of the giant snail during the previous chase. It was half dry at this time, and when it was lifted, it would pull up rows of silk threads.

Batman peeled off these silk threads with his hands and cut them, but found that no matter what kind of cloth or detergent, it could not be wiped off.

There was another sudden shake, and Batman felt that his body was in pain and was melting. The part below his head gradually turned into pools of thick water, flowing down along the spiral and merging with the rain.

And his vision was divided into two, shaking left and right, twisting in the mucus, and bouncing on the ground.

Batman shook his head and retreated, but was stopped by the balcony railing, but his center of gravity continued to fall back.

With a swish, he fell from the balcony.

A vine suddenly stretched out and grabbed his cloak. A head of red hair appeared on the top floor of the hospital, clinging to the railing and looking down. A puzzled voice appeared in Batman's ears.

"Batman, aren't you dead?"

Miles is from Halloween (only the first part is recommended)

Spiral Town is from Ito Junji's Uzumaki (if you have a weak mental endurance, don't watch Mr. Erzi's works. Don't blame me if you have nightmares)
