Chapter 2520: Battle for the Cloak (Fifty)

Chapter 2494: The Battle for the Cape (Fifty)

The Robins gathered around the bed, while Barbara covered her head beside her, her eyes full of confusion.

"I really can't figure it out. How could they both faint during a nap?"

Barbara's tone was filled with indelible self-blame and anxiety. Tim stepped forward to comfort her and said, "This shows that the enemy has grasped your weakness and took advantage of you while you were resting."

Nightwing was bandaging his wounds. Hearing that something had happened to the Arkham Knight, he hurried back. As expected, he also encountered a monster in the thick fog on the way. After a struggle, he successfully escaped, but his arm was dislocated and his neck was cut.

The group of Robins in the Schiller Universe were not feeling well either. Although they decided to stay put for the time being after receiving the information, the thick fog obviously would not let them do as they wished. After another attack, Jason was already injured, and this time the three of them almost fell into it.

After waiting for a long time, the fog showed no sign of dissipating. They also realized that the pattern of the fog might have changed. Even if the three of them were still a little weak, they should go back to meet up with the others.

Not to mention the way to meet up, all kinds of weird events took place one after another. If they hadn't been determined and quick to react, it would have been difficult to return to the clock tower intact.

In addition to the cut on Jason's leg, Dick was tripped by a sudden attack during the chase and sprained his foot. Tim had a scratch on his arm and was being disinfected and bandaged.

The three people on the main universe were the least injured, because they received the most comprehensive training and had the most complete and best equipment. With the cooperation of the three people, only Nightwing was hit by the tail of the alien, and his back was a little swollen. The others were uninjured.

Although that was the case, there were only two people with full combat power left and they couldn't do anything. They simply gathered at the clock tower to rest temporarily, hoping to proceed with the next plan after the fog dissipated.

But as soon as they went upstairs, they saw Barbara's panicked look.

Barbara had the habit of taking a nap, and she didn't need to keep an eye on Arkham Knight all the time, so she planned to take a short nap first, replenish her energy, and then continue to provide remote support to the Robins.

But when she woke up and wanted to call Spider-Man to eat something, and also feed Arkham Knight some water, she found that the two people didn't respond no matter how she called them.

Barbara immediately realized that something was wrong, so she quickly called all the Robins who rushed back up to study what was going on.

The other Robins may not know what happened, but the Red Hood and Red Robin in the main universe have read a lot of magic books and have some understanding of this. After some examination, they could only confirm that the souls of the two people were gone.

The Robin in the Arkham universe also brought a detection device and came to the same conclusion with scientific means, that is, there was nothing wrong with the bodies of the two people, but there was no brain wave change, and the brain was not working.

The Robins began their own reasoning. Both the main universe and the Arkham universe believed that they might have been attacked by the fog, causing their souls to be forced to leave their bodies, or that the evil god behind the fog absorbed their souls.

But the Robins in Schiller's universe thought differently. Jason touched his chin and said, "If the fog wants our souls to be useful, it would not be possible for it to absorb our souls now. As early as the first time it came, when we were completely unprepared, it could have devoured every part of us."

"Before the fog changed, the two of them were fine, but after the fog changed, their souls disappeared, which shows that this disappearance must be related to the change. The question is what caused the change and what happened after the change."

"I came back from around Wayne Tower and did find some abnormalities." Nightwing said, "Remember those crazy Robins with big mouths? They acted a little strange."

"Why is it strange?"

"It seems a little confused, without a goal. Some are wandering in groups, and some are just standing there in a daze. Could it be that their masters have a problem?"

"Yes. . "At this time, everyone suddenly realized, "Where is King Robin?"

"He blew up the Capitol, gave a speech on TV saying that he would be crowned king, and led a large group of monster Robins to Gotham. Why is there no movement?"

"It seems that King Robin is in trouble." Red Robin speculated with reason: "The fog was not created by him, but it has been interfering with his plan. Maybe King Robin and the fog had a confrontation and both died together."

"I don't think they will die together, but they must have been affected by this confrontation. I don't know where King Robin went. It is possible that he went back to recover from his injuries. The fog also mutated and might have been injured by King Robin."

"Does the fog need their souls to recover?"

When this speculation came out, everyone felt a little horrified. Did the fog eat the souls of Spider-Man and Arkham Knight?

"But why are they two?" Jason asked again: "In terms of soul energy, we should be much stronger than them, right?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the face of Arkham Knight. There was no doubt that the person on the bed could not be called healthy. In terms of soul energy, no one present was better than him.

Batman and Batwoman in the police station office also guessed this. If the soul was useful for the fog, then since the fog had the ability to devour people's souls without making a sound, it could have gone for some healthier ones with more energy instead of targeting the sick.

Batman knew one more piece of information than Robin, which was the hole he saw at the original portal that might lead to the dream world.

This clue was crucial. As long as the keyword "dream" was added, it was not difficult to guess why it was Arkham Batman and Superman in the Arkham world who had lost their souls.

Because both of them were very weak and needed to recover from their injuries, Arkham Batman himself was on the verge of coma due to excessive blood loss. Under Batman's treatment and care, he needed to use sleep to replenish his physical strength. He knew this himself, so he could not resist sleep.

Superman was attacked by kryptonite. Although it is not clear what so many colorful kryptonites are used for, it is obvious that Superman has also fallen into a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness due to extreme weakness.

Sleep is a prerequisite for dreaming. These two people lost their souls probably because they fell asleep.

After Batman made his speculation, he was immediately refuted by Batwoman, "Look at the anesthetized people lying on the street. How come their brain waves are normal? Aren't they sleeping too?"

Batman shook his head and said, "I haven't said the conclusion I want to infer yet. Just because everyone is sleeping, but only these two have lost their souls, it proves that this is not a large-scale dream."

"So..."

"So this may not be caused by the thick fog." Batman inferred: "Although I suspect that the citizens' anesthesia may be related to the thick fog, judging from the nature of the thick fog now, it is not targeted at a certain person. All abnormal phenomena are large-scale, and it has not yet shown the ability to pull people into dreams."

"On the contrary, the hole that appeared at the location of the portal." Batman drew a circle on the map in the police station office and said, "This thing appeared much earlier than the fog. According to Poison Ivy, it first discovered that energy a few months ago."

"This hole is likely to lead to the dream world, which means that someone had planned to pull people into the dream a few months before the fog appeared, but it just happened to collide with the fog."

Batman paused and quickly overturned his previous conclusion, "No, it may not be a coincidence. He just wants us to think so, thinking that the outbreak of the fog is the culprit for these people's dreaming, to cover up his secret activities behind the scenes."

"How did he predict that the fog would break out?" Batwoman asked.

"I'm afraid it's not expected." Batman tapped the table with a pen and said, "I'm afraid it was he who caused the fog to explode."

"Think about it, before the fog exploded on a large scale, these people were fine, but after the explosion, they were all unconscious. According to common sense, what would you think?"

"Maybe the fog absorbed the souls of these people." Clark said, "Anyway, if I were to speculate, I could only think of these."

"This is probably the real purpose of the mastermind." Batman frowned and stared at the map and said, "He first buried a ball of energy under the city and guided Poison Ivy to detonate it. It seemed that a portal was blown out, but the portal and Robin King who passed through the portal were probably a cover."

"What Poison Ivy really blew out was not a portal connecting to other universes, but a passage to the dream world. It's just that Robin King acted in a high-profile manner, and Batman's death attracted everyone's attention."

"At this moment, the mastermind removed the disguise of the portal, revealing the dream world passage that had originally appeared there, and at the same time through unknown means The French stimulates the thick fog and let it outbreak. "" The dense fog itself will cover the vision, block the communication, and let the sense of people with super powers drop significantly. Suddenly, for them, very important people were unconscious at the same time. Combined with the strange state of the previous dense fog and the dangerous situation in the thick fog after the outbreak, everyone would treat the fog as a real enemy. " The mysterious existence behind the dense fog is fighting for you. "" Do you think they will do this? "Bat Girl bowed his head and looked at the people who were not saved. She knew that the so -called group of people referred to the Batman Robin. In fact, Batman couldn't say for sure. He was not completely sure that the Robins would not do this, because he actually saw the secret competition among the Robins.

When Batman was around, the Robins didn't dare to act rashly due to his majesty, but once he was absent, even if it was to compete for his cape and inherit his legacy, these birds would probably fight to the death.

As expected, a debate broke out in the clock tower. Robin from the Arkham Universe thought that it was probably the thick fog that was causing the trouble. In order to save the Arkham Knight and find the missing Batman, they should look for the secret behind the thick fog.

The Robins from the main universe were not so sure, but they also felt that they had to find Batman.

Only the Robins from Schiller's universe proposed a different idea. He said, "Since you care so much about Batman, why not care about Batman's purpose? Remember the previous phone call? Batman wants us to find the cape. As Robin, shouldn't we complete the task assigned by Batman first?"
