Chapter 585: The Adventures of Cat City Gotham (Part I)
The first floor, or ground floor, of the Temple of Mind has no rooms, only doors, windows, and floors, as well as a staircase leading to the upper floor, which allows Schiller to observe the outside of the Hall of Mind through the windows on the first floor.
Because it is a circular tower, the view from the window is also very wide, and at this time, the tower of the Temple of Thinking falls right in the center of the turntable in the center of Gotham City, so the situation in the center of Gotham City can be seen at a glance.
After being swallowed up by the group of kittens that the Dream of a Thousand Cats transformed into, Schiller guessed what might happen next, but what he didn't expect was that the Dream of a Thousand Cats actually dragged his entire temple of thinking directly into the dream of cats.
After glancing at the situation outside, Schiller walked back to the center of the first floor, he looked at Morpheus, the god of dreams, and without him asking, Morpheus explained: "I said before that the dream of a thousand cats is the collective dream of cats, and now, it must have been frightened, so it pulled you all into his dream." ”
"As I said before, it was the cat that once ruled the world, the cat was the master, and the human being was the servant, but a thousand people had a dream together, and then the dream was replaced by reality, so the human being became the master of the earth."
"However, the cat's dream has not dissipated, it still exists in the dream country, and in the cat's dream, the world ruled by the cat also exists, as you can see, the cat's dream, the inhabitants of the world are of course cats."
"First question...... Schiller asked, "Why do cats have Gotham in their dreams?" ”
"This ......," Morpheus said, shaking his head, "and while I say I don't know, it may sound like I'm deliberately reluctant to tell you, but the truth is, I don't know." ”
"As far as I know, Gotham is a very strange place, where everyone's dreams bring a cold and dark wind to the dream country, and there has never been a place as special as Gotham."
"Perhaps, in addition to the people who live there, the cats there are also different, and they remember this place cursed by darkness......"
Schiller frowned, although Morpheus's explanation was ambiguous, but Schiller, who had read the comics, had more speculation that Gotham was indeed a cursed place, there was no doubt that the darkness here was not simply a matter of economics and politics, but also involved the occult.
If you look at breaking the fourth wall, in any state of the universe, there will be Gotham, because this is the garbage dump of the entire universe, and darkness and chaos will eventually flow here.
In this case, it is not surprising that there will be such a place in the cat's dream, no matter who rules the world, the darkness of Gotham will never change, perhaps, the place where Schiller landed is not geographically different from Gotham, but as long as this is the garbage dump of sin, then this is Gotham.
At this moment, Morpheus turned to Schiller and said, "Although you have made a mess of my home, I just let Xiao Hei out just to let him come out to breathe, after all, it will be annoying to stay in the dream country all day." ”
"I didn't expect it to react so violently and move your house directly, but it's okay, I'll take you back now......"
As he spoke, Morpheus's hands lit up, but suddenly, Schiller stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "No, I don't want to go back now......"
Morpheus looked at Schiller and said, "Are you sure?" But don't blame me for not reminding you, your consciousness is taken to the cat's dream, and your body is uncontrolled and may fall into eternal sleep......"
"That's better." Schiller gave a surprising answer, and he smiled a chill down his back.
Morpheus looked at Schiller's smile and felt a chill in his back again, and he asked, "...... What do you want? ”
Schiller didn't answer, he just stood in the middle of the ground floor, looked up, and shouted, "Superego? Superego? Are you there? ”
"I'm improving my mental defenses, don't you see the chaos outside?" A voice came from upstairs.
Several people on the ground floor turned their heads to look out the window, and as expected, the massive structure that suddenly descended in the middle of the town caught the attention of all the residents of Cat City Gotham.
The shrill siren sounded, a number of police cars arrived at the scene, police cats wearing safety suits and helmets entered, erected blast shields, erected barricades, and surrounded the gate of the tower in an orderly manner.
Schiller found that this was not just a replacement of human characters with cats, which were not anthropomorphic cats with two feet on the ground as in cartoons, but very normal four-legged cats with tails up.
For example, the car they drive is not sitting on the steering wheel and pressing the accelerator, but standing in the cockpit on all fours, and the controller that controls the direction and speed of the vehicle is the button under their feet.
The equipment worn by the cat officers is also adapted to the form of a cat on all fours, their guns are not held in their hands, but on their backs, and the weapon is not a live ammunition that needs to be loaded, but a laser-like weapon.
They carry communication equipment that extends into their ears at one end, the headphones are hidden in the ear hair, and the other end is connected to the mouth, and the joystick that controls the firing extends from the side of the neck to the chest, and they only need to stretch out their claws and play with them to shoot.
Schiller saw with his own eyes that in order to sweep away the curb of the road in front of the tower, several cats with road-opening equipment on their backs manipulated the laser weapons on their backs, and the entire road surface was destroyed with a few "booms".
In addition, the vehicles they fly are not only cars, but also small helicopters circling the tower, and flying saucers suspended in the air.
Although in terms of size, they should only be a little larger than the average domestic cat, probably the size of the average Maine, but the equipment they arrange around the tower and on their backs is not vegetarian.
The destructive power of that kind of laser is very strong, and there are many equipment that have not been launched, I don't know what the effect is, but it is definitely more than enough to fight ordinary humans.
This also means that it is not a good idea to rush into the group of cats with the advantage of size, Schiller touched his chin and said, "I think we should not be able to beat them, so we should do it another way." ”
"Wait a minute!" Morpheus interrupted Schiller's plan and said, "Don't tell me, you're going to enter this city, it's not a good idea, in a world ruled by cats, humans are either slaves or pets, I'd better just take you away......"
Schiller ignored him completely, but said to himself: "...... However, we can join if we can't beat it, superego, are you done? When you're done......"
Schiller dragged out a long note, then looked at Moonlight Schiller, Lex, and Khonsu standing in the center of the room, and Jörmungad, who was poking his head out behind them, and he continued:
“…… It's time for the troublemakers to make amends for their mistakes. ”
The two people who were staring at him were both stunned for a moment, and Lex spoke first: "When I came out of the room, I only saw a cat and a snake, and then the cat was gone, and only the snake remained......"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Jörmungad, who said angrily, "What does it have to do with me?" I'm also a victim, and the cat bit me and ran away, otherwise I'd have to make him look good! And it's obviously him who scares the cat......"
Jörmungad turned his head and looked at Moonlight Schiller who was carrying an umbrella knife, Moonlight Schiller, didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at Kong Su, meaning that if Kong Su hadn't suddenly skipped work, then he wouldn't have broken out of the room.
Kong Su turned his head to look at Oneiroi, meaning that if it weren't for Oneiroi Morpheus chatting with him, he wouldn't have delayed his time to go to work.
Morpheus turned his head to look at DC Schiller again, meaning that if Schiller hadn't brought him here, he wouldn't have talked to Khonsu.
Schiller crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Do you still want to blame me?" ”
Suddenly, with a "bang", a puff of smoke came out of D.C. Schiller's side, and when the smoke cleared, Schiller turned into a black cat.
An invisible hand grabbed the back of his neck, and the door creaked open, and the hand grabbed the Schiller cat and shook it twice, then threw him out of the door with a "whoosh".
All the people standing in the center of the room, looking at Schiller, who had been thrown out, heard the voice that had just been called the "superego" say:
"It's time for the troublemaker to make amends for his mistakes."
