Chapter 2853 I Have a Date with the Outer Gods (Part 2)

Chapter 2827 I have a date with the Outer God (Part 2)

The story of Cobblepot and Gordon is a bit complicated. Cobblepot is actually a descendant of the four major families. At this time, the Cobblepot family has declined. Little Penguin only left an old ancestral house where he and his mother live.

The inheritance of the Cobblepot family is almost completely broken. Cobblepot doesn't know what his father arranged back then, but it may be a coincidence. Cobblepot heard a few crazy words from his mother. He thought it was just nonsense during an attack, but he really found the stairs to the attic behind the bookcase.

Cobblepot found his father's diary in the attic of his ancestral house. When he found it, there was already something abnormal in Gotham City. Cobblepot immediately linked the two things together and learned about the plan planned by the four major families 20 years ago.

It's basically too late to start now, but fortunately his father did more in the past, and their family's mission is relatively simple, which is to guard the base of the last Court of Owls and keep an eye on the equipment for refining bat gold.

The four major families in Gotham each have their own responsibilities. The Kane family and the Wayne family are responsible for looking for metals outside, while the Elliot family and the Cobblepot family are responsible for collecting and refining metals in Gotham City. This pool of amber gold was collected by the Elliot family, and the Cobblepot family only needs to collect bat gold.

Through the memory that Martha got from the cultists, they took over the laboratory for refining bat gold, but because they had no knowledge of mysticism and could not move the instruments, they could only seal the laboratory and let the members of the Cobblepot family watch and take away the results after the metal refining was completed.

Cobblepot went neither too early nor too late, and the metal was just refined, but all metals have a property, that is, it is difficult to preserve them with conventional equipment, test tubes and syringes are not suitable.

However, the four major families had already developed a way to preserve amber gold, that is, to preserve them directly with the human body. Cobblepot used surgery to peel off the skin of his legs and put the bat gold in his calves.

Following the clues he got from his father's diary, he came to the Wayne Hotel and successfully transported the bat gold.

Gordon actually had nothing to do with this matter. The one who really had something to do with it was one of his team members, who was a descendant of the Kane family and was responsible for collecting promethium metal. He rushed to the Wayne Hotel as soon as the incident happened.

However, it can also be known from the original book that the Kane family basically had no capable people. The unlucky guy who received the task was just an ordinary person. He encountered a life-and-death crisis not long after he came in, and could only ask Gordon for help.

Gordon was a policeman after all, and he couldn't sit idly by, so he brought his team members to the Wayne Hotel. Fortunately, the unlucky guy didn't die. He saved people, but found himself trapped in the hotel.

It was also the unlucky guy who told him that he had to go to the swimming pool on the roof, because he learned from the records of his elders that the follow-up plan was placed on the fourth floor of Wayne Manor in the swimming pool.

Obviously, this manor is still a bit too dangerous for ordinary people. The team was almost wiped out, and Gordon was also contaminated. The Kane knew that he could not survive, so he could only tell the plan and let Gordon borrow his body to go to the fourth floor and get the specific location of the ancient city.

The promethium metal was placed in the body of this team member. After Gordon got the body, he used the contaminated ability to transfer the metal to his head, so that he could take the metal with him no matter how he changed his body.

Gordon originally planned to go to the ancient city and wait, but at that time the big head was guarding the door to the back garden. He couldn't get through alone, so he had to go back to get help. When he was taking a break on the 19th floor, he met Schiller.

As for the N metal in Alfred's head, Schiller believed that it should be put in by Thomas. After all, the four major families have made efforts, and the leader of the four major families, Thomas Wayne, could not have made contributions. He should have found the N metal, but knew that his body might be taken over, so he put the N metal in the body of the old butler.

Amber gold comes from the ancient city, bat gold is extracted by the Court of Owls and brought by Cobert, the Dionysus factor is extracted by Jerome who learned of Martha's plan, promethium metal is given to Gordon by the descendants of the Kane family and brought, and N metal is found by Thomas and placed in Alfred's head. So far, the sources of the five metals are basically clear.

From this, Schiller can probably guess what the hotel is like. The conspiracy faction that has been obstructing the guests in the hotel is actually the pollution power of the outer gods, and the reckless faction that uses toilet water and door-banging monsters should be the four major families that control the underground water system and amber gold.

The balance presented by the hotel is actually intentional by the four major families, because there is a road leading to the ancient city underground in the hotel and Wayne Manor, but because Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne were the ones who suffered, the manor must be extremely dangerous, so the descendants of the four major families can only come to the ancient city through the hotel.

When the pollution breaks out, the hotel will definitely become dangerous. There must be a force to balance the pollution of the Outer Gods to ensure that those who get the metal can come to the ancient city smoothly. So they use the underground sewers to mix the amber gold containing Gotham's dark pollution into the water and then send it into the hotel to fight against the pollution of the Outer Gods.

The monsters in the hotel that have basically no mind and can only bang doors are actually polluted by the darkness of Gotham, which is similar to the crazy animals polluted by the rain in Gotham.

The clever thing is that Gotham locals like Jerome and Cobert are actually not afraid of the pollution of amber gold, just like too many lice don't itch, they don't know how many rains they have been in since they were young, even if it is a high concentration of amber gold, at most they can get high for a while, which is the guarantee that they can pass through the hotel to the ancient city.

Overall, the plan of the four major families was executed very perfectly. If it weren't for their lack of some theoretical knowledge of mysticism and bad luck, Barbatos happened to be locked up in the source of darkness, and they would really start a big metal event today.

But unfortunately, as Schiller said, a small mistake can lead to a big mistake. Barbatos can't come today, Gray Mist came to get a drink and ran away, and a certain spokesperson of the Lord of Darkness is nothing but running errands. Schiller really doesn't know how to solve this mess.

As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it. There is only one heavyweight protagonist left in the whole story.

As Schiller thought about this, he saw the surrounding scene rapidly receding. In just a few seconds, the dark and damp walls of the underground ancient city had retreated tens of thousands of meters away, and those who were originally close at hand became smaller and smaller, disappearing into the horizon.

A cold wind blew, and countless snowflakes danced in the air. When Schiller opened his eyes, he only saw a vast expanse of white land. A group of hunched figures walked by on the skyline, but disappeared in the wind and snow in an instant.

With a clang, Schiller heard the sound of something falling to the ground. He turned his head and saw a black object on the snow not far away.

He walked over and found that it was a flute, which seemed to be made of damp ebony. When Schiller picked it up, he found that it was heavier than he thought. It didn't need to be played. Just the sound of the wind on the snow made it whine.

Schiller put the flute to his lips and paused for a moment, as if thinking about what kind of music to play. After a while, a cheerful little tune sounded on the snowy plain.

Generally speaking, people call this cheerful, humorous and childlike song - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

The flute disappeared with a snap.

Schiller smiled and didn't care. He walked forward because he had seen a small wooden house in the direction of the flute.

It seemed very close but very far. Schiller walked for a long time but still didn't get there. But he still insisted on moving forward and looked back at the long trail of footprints he left on the snowy plain.

Finally, he came to the door of the cabin, shook off the snow on his body, and when he opened the door, the scene in front of him changed again.

This is a dark cemetery, without sky, sun and moon, only endless darkness, towering tombs, and shadowy tombstones whose shapes could not be seen clearly.

The skyline was filled with tall rooms, from which came the terrifying, hoarse and crazy drumming and the monotonous and subtle sound of the flute.

Schiller walked towards the big house, passed through rows of tombs, and came to the tall building that seemed to be inhabited by giants.

The buildings spread out from then on, layer by layer, and Schiller found himself standing on the edge of a cliff, with layers of houses guarding the largest room in the middle.

Schiller saw many black shadows holding golden instruments dancing between the buildings. The dance was graceful and weird, and from time to time there were desolate songs floating in the wind.

Schiller stood at the edge of the cliff, the wind blew his hair and robes, and he shouted to the bottom of the cliff: "Nyarlathotep——"

No one responded to him, and a gust of wind blew, Schiller was blinded, stretched out his hand to block it with his arm, but when he put his arm down, he found himself in a desert.

The tall pyramids in the distance were shining brightly under the sun, and people leading camels were walking in the distance, with the moisture of the oasis in the wind.

Schiller looked back and saw an oasis in the distance. He didn't know if it was a mirage, but he still walked towards the pyramid.

The distance this time was not far, and he soon arrived at the door of the pyramid, but this pyramid was much taller than the pyramids in reality. When standing in front of the gate, humans were not even as tall as a brick at the door.

Schiller walked in along the carpet. The structure here was not half similar to the pharaoh's tomb. It was more like a huge temple. The statues of Anubis were placed in rows on both sides of the passage, and the portraits of the pharaohs were hung on the walls with solemn faces.

Schiller walked forward until he came to a brightly lit temple hall. He saw a tall figure standing in front of the throne. He was wearing the pharaoh's clothes, and the black and gold interwoven robes dragged to the ground and spread down from the steps, like golden quicksand.

There was an arrogant elegance in his gestures, and his dark appearance exuded an irresistible attraction. His eyes, so dark that you could hardly see them, emitted a faint light in the dim room.

When he looked over, Schiller happened to meet his gaze.
