Chapter 2514: Battle for the Cloak (Forty-Four)

Chapter 2488: The Battle for the Cape (Forty-four)

Jason ate two large muffins, not because the muffins were really delicious, but because of his blocked nose and sore throat, Jason couldn't taste anything now, and nothing tasted good. He wasn't really hungry, but his mind told him that he had to eat more to replenish his energy so that he could get better faster.

Not only that, he also ate a plate of ham, a freshly baked meat pie, two fried eggs and a large glass of milk. He didn't turn around until his body told him that he was full, and he sat on the sofa in a normal posture so that the food could be digested quickly.

Fortunately, it was not too late at this time, and Uncle Ben drove to pull the Christmas tree. Spider-Man helped his aunt with the general cleaning, but the Christmas utensils and ingredients had to be bought tomorrow.

Jason fell asleep quickly while leaning on the sofa. The light and shadow of the TV series flowed on his face, and the sound of the news report rang in his ears again. "The Claw Killer has once again attacked a small town in the south. Two children who witnessed the attack said that they saw him crawl out of the closet with a long dagger in his hand and burn scars on his face. The state governments issued warning notices, and New Jersey residents need to pay special attention..."

Jason felt a black shadow blocking the TV. He opened his eyes slightly and saw Spider-Man holding a broom in one hand and one hand on his waist, watching the news carefully.

Spider-Man sat down next to Jason, sighed and said, "This murderer is too abominable. He only targets children, and he seems to be active in New York. Christmas is almost here. What should we do?"

"He seems to be chasing me." Jason tried to clear his throat and said, "Don't forget, we are in a dream now."

Spider-Man was stunned for a moment, and said as if he suddenly realized something: "Oh, yes, we are in a dream now. My God, this dream is too real. I thought I was really spending Christmas at home."

"I don't think it's that simple." Spider-Man scratched his head, threw the broom aside, picked up the pillow and rubbed it, saying, "This dream is a little too real. Even the hard-to-clean dead corners in my house are restored exactly the same."

Jason wanted to say that it was probably because you remembered these dead corners so clearly that it was restored so similarly, but now his throat couldn't support him to say such a long sentence.

"I really want to know what's going on." Spider-Man said, "If it's the fog that dragged us into the dream, what's its purpose?"

Jason had thought about this question before, but his focus was more on Batman. If they are in the same dream now, and the initiator of the dream is the fog, it proves that they have all been exposed to the same fog.

This means that Batman is not dead, and it is very likely that he has returned to Gotham, but he doesn't know where he is now. If he can find Batman's current location through contact in the dream, he can be rescued.

But speculation is speculation, and Jason has no ability to turn speculation into reality now. He can't even stand up now, and he needs at least a few days of recuperation.

Just as he was talking, Jason fell asleep again. In his dream, he vaguely saw the flash of the dagger blade seemed to be getting closer and closer to him, but this time Jason just wanted to sleep, so he couldn't form any specific images in his dream.

If coma can be immune to the influence of the killer, then this cold comes at the right time, Jason thought, anyway, let's go to sleep first.

After another sleepy sleep, Jason suddenly heard a thump. He opened his eyes and saw a terrifying figure standing in front of the window. It was a man wearing a hat, with claws formed by daggers in his hands. His skin was full of burn marks, which was even more terrifying against the moonlight shining in from the window.

Jason tried to open his eyes and straighten his body, but the figure came closer and closer, stretched out his hands full of blades, as if he wanted to chop off Jason's head.

Jason kept dodging backwards, but he was drowsy and weak, and couldn't even stand up, and couldn't avoid the attack of the murderer at all.

With a swish, the cold light of the blade flashed, and Jason was awakened by the intense pain before it really happened.

He turned his head again and saw that he had been moved to the bedroom. The table in the bedroom was moved out, and a mattress was placed under the upper bunk, and soft bedding was also laid on it.

The swishing sound Jason heard was made by Spider-Man, who was squatting beside him and fiddling with the spider silk launcher. Spider-Man looked up and saw that Jason had woken up, so he asked, "Why did you wake up at this time? Are you thirsty? Let me get you a glass of water?"

"Where are you going?" Jason asked with a frown, because Spider-Man was wearing his battle suit again and adjusting his equipment, obviously going out.

"Me? I'm just, um... going out for a walk." Spider-Man said, "Just a walk or something. I ate too much and have to digest it."

"Murderer?" Jason pointed out that Spider-Man wanted to investigate the murderer.

"Well, I can't hide it from you." Spider-Man sighed and said, "This matter has to be resolved, right?"

"This is a dream." Jason said, implying that the entire city was not real, and the murderer might just be the embodiment of some nightmares, and would not really threaten anyone, and there was no need to investigate.

It was hard for him to tell whether this thought was to dissuade Spider-Man or to comfort himself. Anyway, all this was just a dream, not real, so it was okay for him to lie here and recuperate, because no one would really get hurt.

"That's not the case." Spider-Man said, "Generally speaking, dreams are dreamed by one person, right? I've never heard of two people meeting in the same dream, because dreams are the product of our thinking, and thinking is virtual."

"But now it's obviously not the case. The two of us entered the same dream, not only met, but also met Batman who didn't meet in reality. This proves that this is not just a dream."

Jason thought Spider-Man would have some lofty remarks about the real situation of this world, but Spider-Man said, "If we can all come here, meet here and do something together, it proves that this may not be a virtual dream, but a parallel universe, just like the other universes."

"If that's the case, the dangers that people here are facing are not fake, and will not disappear because of our departure, so of course we have to think of a way."

Jason instinctively wanted to ask him what kind of investigation he had done to reach this conclusion, and whether there was any concrete evidence, but he knew he didn't need to ask, because Spider-Man definitely didn't have it.

Spider-Man left, and Jason fell asleep again. For the next few hours, he was half asleep and half awake, and sometimes he would see a terrifying figure with claws flash by.

The other party seemed to want to get close to him, but was trapped by something, and kept flashing, running, appearing and disappearing.

It doesn't matter, it's just a dream anyway, Jason thought, when the fog dissipates, everything will return to normal when he really wakes up.

"He is not dreaming." In the safe house of Arkham Universe Batman, Batman checked the eye movement state of Arkham Batman and said: "Dreams are unconscious thinking activities, there should be detectable brain waves, but now there are none, his soul is not in the body at all."

"What do you think is going on?" Poison Ivy obviously realized that something was wrong. She said: "This thick fog lasted too long, more than three times the previous duration. Will the fog not dissipate?"

Batman shook his head, not that he didn't know, he knew that there must be something wrong with the fog, otherwise it would not easily break the previous pattern.

Batman had already made some associations, because he had seen a tarot card with a fog pattern printed on it from Dr. Sosip before. It was not such a coincidence that both parties used fog. They were very likely to be the same existence.

Combined with the characteristics of the members of the Dark Council, it can be inferred that the culprit of the fog was the nameless fog, a member of the Dark Council, and this was most likely the work of Barbatos.

But if Barbatos wanted to invade on a large scale, he would not have to do such an ambiguous mysterious phenomenon, let alone let the fog appear and disappear. He must have done this for a purpose, and he would not change the rules before this purpose was achieved.

But now the large-scale arrival of the fog showed some completely different rules from before, which proved that there must be some accidents that these behind-the-scenes masterminds did not expect.

What could this accident be?

To know this, Batman naturally had to find someone, that is, Dr. Sosip, who had helped him contact the fog before.

However, the body of Arkham Batman cannot be left alone. For some reason, Batman proposed to prepare a solution that can accelerate the healing of external wounds to heal Arkham Batman's wounds, but was rejected by Arkham Batman. Now that his soul is no longer here, Batman can soak him in the medicine jar.

Batman can certainly sense that Arkham Batman's mental state is abnormal because of Jason, so he also knows that it will not work if he tries to persuade him, but this is his universe after all, and the role he plays is very important. It's just right to take this opportunity to at least adjust his physical condition first.

Batman took Arkham Batman's body back to the Batcave, but at this time all the Robins had left, leaving only Alfred.

Alfred saw the wounded Arkham Batman, and his eyes became heavier, but he said nothing. He helped Batman prepare the solution and soaked Arkham Batman's body in it.

If you want to go to Oxford, England, without the means of magic teleportation, it is definitely too late to fly a plane. No matter how fast the Batfighter is, it will take some time to get there, and Batman knows who is the fastest flyer in the world.

In the previous communication with Robin, Batman learned that there was a Clark among the reinforcements they brought, but Clark went straight to Washington as soon as he landed. Like the fallen Superman, he just wanted to rescue Batman as soon as possible.

Batman knew that Clark was unlikely to save Arkham Batman, because no matter who did it, they would never let Superman appear where he shouldn't be. The fallen Superman is the best example.

But now Batman needs Clark's help, so he has to find him. Now the city is blocked by thick fog, most of the communication equipment cannot be used, and Superman's super hearing and vision may also be limited, so the only way is to test the tacit understanding between the two.

If Clark fails to save people or encounters any other troubles, he will definitely want to find Batman first. It is much easier to let Superman find him than to find Superman. After all, it is not that difficult for Superman to break the illusion in the thick fog.

Just as Batman expected, Clark did not save people, and he did want to find Batman when he was blocked, but he found Batwoman.
