When the thick fog rises, the whole city seems to be submerged in a sea of fog, and only the towering buildings can poke their heads out of the sea of fog, and Schiller and the others standing on the roof of the hospital building are more like sailors who have been swept into the sea of fog.

As the mist swept past them, it seemed to put a mask on their faces, and the blocked mist floated backwards, the mist clothed them, and the rain clothed them.

Schiller looked down, and he saw two doctors screaming and rushing out of the hospital gate, and behind them were crazy patients, and an ambulance rushed in from the next intersection.

The driver opened the door and jumped out of the car, the out-of-control ambulance crashed into the street lamp pole next to it, blood oozed from the crack in the door of the ambulance cabin, and with a "bang", the door was knocked open, and a crazy doctor jumped out, took three steps and made two steps, caught up with the driver, and clamped his neck with both hands.

A brilliant streamer of light sped down from the rooftop, and a fireball struck the mad doctor's back, knocking him flying.

But there were already a few more blood marks on the neck of the attacked driver, and after a while, his body temperature began to rise, and in the cold rainy night, his body was filled with steaming white mist.

And the doctor who was hit before was not dead, he ignored the burns on his back, staggered up from the ground, and Brand on the top of the building narrowed his eyes and said, "...... With a bit of skill, this curse boosts their defenses and allows them to fear pain, like an exalted patient who has been relieved of muscle constraints. ”

"Immediately turn off the ventilation system of the building in the first and second phases of the renovation project, and use the self-circulation system in the building until I am sure whether it is the air or rainwater problem, and no one is allowed to go out!" Bruce said into the communicator.

Schiller then turned back to him and said, "Someone has used a massive curse attack on Gotham, and it's not certain whether the curse is spread through wounds or rain, or both." ”

"I have a way to get rid of this curse, but ......" Schiller said, holding up his umbrella, "The umbrella needs to be in contact with the curse's receptor in order to absorb the curse on him, and besides, it can only absorb the curse, not heal it) If the host of the curse is seriously injured and can only survive by the power of the curse, then as soon as I lift the curse, he will die immediately." ”

Bruce narrowed his eyes and said, "What is this principle?" By what did you break this curse? ”

"An even greater curse." Without further ado, Schiller grabbed the umbrella and swung it at Bruce, who dodged sideways and Schiller just tapped him on the shoulder with the handle.

At the moment of contact, Bruce felt an emotion, and he found that the umbrella in Schiller's hand seemed to be alive.

"But it's a shame that I can't use this umbrella to knock on everyone in Gotham, and even if I can lift the existing curse in their bodies, they will still be infected if the source of the curse is not identified."

"I'll find out the cause of the curse." Bruce took out the communicator, then looked at Schiller and said, "But Gotham must be guarded by someone, and if the curse is allowed to continue to spread, the city will surely fall into great chaos." ”

"Remember what I told you?" Schiller looked Bruce in the eye and said, "A man who has been walking for a long time in a snowy night, and suddenly sees a campfire in the distance, he will surely run there with all his last strength." ”

"And if anyone wants to extinguish this flame......" Schiller shook his head, Bruce was not sure if he saw hesitation and retreat in the professor's face, but he heard Schiller, say in a tone he had never heard before, "They will show you real madness." ”

Schiller raised his head and looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and he said, "Those who do all this will never understand that those who have been raised in this land of madness will never fear any crazy curse. ”

"Batman's job is not to save this place, but to save people who want to get involved in Gotham and want to fly off a cliff." Schiller looked at Brand, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Go, savior, these people who are already at the bottom of the abyss are the ones who are destined to be here, and you should worry more about those outsiders who do not know whether they are alive or dead, than about us." ”

With that, Schiller opened his umbrella and walked into the fog, and the figure disappeared at the end of the street, where Brand was, a cluster of fire flashed, and he also disappeared, and Bruce looked at the chaotic image of the street and frowned deeply.

The current Batman can't trace the traces of the mastermind behind the scenes alone, because he doesn't have enough friends to help him guard this place when the crisis comes.

At least for now, Bruce thinks so, and he finds that he can't even find a reliable teammate, and there are almost no one else he knows except for a psycho like Schiller, a rotten person like Constantine, and a madman like the Joker.

But what surprised him even more was that after such an incident, his first reaction was to find his teammates, instead of rushing to the bat cave as fast as he could, trying to break himself into eight petals and take over all the work.

Soon, the helicopter landed on the roof of the hospital, and the air currents generated when the propellers rotated, temporarily blowing away the dense fog and grabbing the helicopter's ladder, the helicopter flew higher and higher with him, and Bruce saw that the chaos was spreading.

More and more people rushed out of the house, the monsters that had gone crazy kept chasing them, more and more screams came from the streets, and the world hidden under the sea of fog had gradually become chaotic and crazy.

Bruce knew that he had to find out who was behind it as soon as possible, and whoever threw such a curse on Gotham would have to pay the price.

After Schiller left the hospital, he went straight back to the manor, and when Merkel greeted him, Schiller smelled a strong smell of blood on his body, he turned to look at Merkel and asked, "What did you just do?" ”

"Clean up the garden, sir, the canopy and water pipes are all in order." Merkel smiled and took his coat from Schiller, who glanced at the shotgun placed in the aisle at the entrance of the garden, and said: "Also, our garden renovation program, we have found the right fertilizer, right?" ’”

"yes, it's just a little bit crazy." Merkel hung her coat on the hanger and said with a smile, but Schiller frowned and said: "You don't even know if they have deteriorated, just bury them in the garden, aren't you afraid, those plants that eat bad stomachs, jump up and beat you?" ”

He said as he walked to the back garden with an umbrella, Merkel was a little confused, he said: "This is not the first time that a thief who does not know whether he is alive or dead, has come to the manor to steal something, but this time it seems to be extra arrogant, they dare to pounce on me"

"Because that's not a thief at all." Schiller stood under the eaves and looked at the garden, a hint of blood, followed by the damp smell of rain, into his nose, and Merkel seemed to realize that something was wrong, and said: "What's wrong, sir, those people...... Shouldn't I bury them in the garden? ”

"It's not clear yet." Schiller shook his head and said, "But you have to take responsibility for your own decisions, I'm going to Gotham University, and if the plant jumps up and slaps you later, you'd better hope that the old gun will be useful." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the house, and Merkel caught up with him a little anxiously and said, "No, right?" Do plants really jump up and hit people? How is this possible? ”

"I didn't expect you to be in Gotham for so long and still ask such questions." Schiller put on his coat again, and then spoke: "If you can't handle it, call Alfred, if you're not afraid he's going to have a bigger opinion of your housekeeper's academy." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the door, leaving Merkel alone looking around in front of the gate, scratching her head, but soon, Merkel heard another movement in the backyard.

Merkel sighed, went to the drawing room again, walked through the corridor, grabbed the shotgun that had not yet faded, and came to the garden wall.

Standing on the scaffolding, Merkel found that several more people were trying to climb up from the fence and then climb into the yard, one of which was already close to success, so when Merkel shot him in the head, he fell straight into the yard.

Putting down the gun, Merkel walked up to the corpse with a blank face, picked up the hem of his clothes, and dragged the corpse behind the oak tree.

A shovel went down, blood came out of it, and then digging down, there were some bones that looked like they were old, but Merkel didn't care, three times and two times, dug a shallow pit with a gardening shovel, and threw the body inside.

The garden of the Rodriguez Manor, with a small wall and an alley outside the manor district, is not intended to protect the manor, but rather a bait, especially after the manor has a housekeeper who is proficient in gardening.

Merkel turned around, went to the tool room and took out a packet of powder, sprinkled it on the corpse, then struck a match, threw it down, and in an instant, the flames hurt, and in the humid air, the flames appeared a little faint.

It was a long process to burn the bodies, and Merkel climbed up the scaffolding again, his shotgun in hand, frowning at the chaos outside the fence and feeling that something was wrong.

At this moment, he felt that the scaffolding under his feet shook, and Merkel immediately bent down, stabilized his center of gravity, and then descended two floors, his hands on the top steps, and looked down, but he didn't see anyone.

The eaves of the tool room next to it did not shake at all, and it was not an earthquake, Merkel thought she was hallucinating, and got off the scaffolding in a bit of confusion, ready to dispose of the remaining wreckage that had just been burned.

But as soon as he walked out of the house, he fell into the dirt of the garden with a "bang", Merkel stood up, cursed in a low voice, and looked back to see that it was a vine that tripped him.

"Plants really beat people?" Merkel said a little strangely, shook his head, banished the unrealistic ideas from his mind, went to the burning wreckage, picked up the gardening shovel, and began to stir up the soil.

The bones were stirred into the soil as before, and there was no trace of it, but just as Merkel was turning over the soil, he suddenly felt that something moved in the bushes opposite.

Merkel stepped forward, wanting to see what was wrong, but in an instant, his shoulder hurt, and he let out a "whoop", and when he looked back, there was nothing.

Suddenly, he heard a faint chatter, and Merkel immediately looked at the ground at his feet, and he saw that the vines on the ground twisted and spread towards him.

The vines that snaked from the depths of the fog were shadowed between the grass and the dirt, and the sound of the vines scraping against the ground was even more terrifying, like ghost claws sticking out of hell.

But it is very unfortunate that the housekeeper who manages this manor is not afraid of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
