Chapter 1778: S: Apocalypse Event (45)

The flood of orphans on the streets of Gotham does not mean that the children of the whole city are orphans, but it does not mean that having parents is a good thing, families living at the bottom of society can give their children too little, and some parents who have been driven crazy by life want too much, so it is difficult to say whether these children with parents are lucky or unlucky.

But there is one type of child who is the luckiest in Gotham, that is, the child who was not born, and the misfortune does not start from the child's generation, at the bottom, there are too many mothers who have to give up their children for various reasons.

This is not even a moral choice, if they choose to have children, it means that they may not have a full labor force for several months, which is very terrifying for the people at the bottom who have almost no tolerance for error, this is just the most basic human desire to survive.

But this does not mean that they will not be sad, even if the arrival of this child is not expected, but people's hearts yearning for a better family life will not change, as long as there is a trace of yearning for such a life, the pain of losing a child is inevitable.

Having lived in the slums for a while, Bruce knew where to look for the most crying from his mother, like the "hospital" he had seen in the East End, and there were places in the slums that specialized in this kind of trouble.

The girls who patronize here are all relatively young, and some of them are so young that Bruce wants to kill.

But it is true that only young girls come here, they are often new to the industry and not enough experience, and those women who have been working for a long time have their own ways to avoid this kind of thing, after all, abortion is also a recuperation, and not being able to work means no income, and they will do everything they can to avoid similar things.

Most of the uneducated people need to endure hardships to gain experience, and most of the people who come here are like this, it is the young people who don't know the world that they still have the strength to cry twice, and even though Bruce is here to cry for this, he still feels that his mood has fallen to the bottom.

Until he saw a boy in the waiting room, which is not usually a place for men, and this is not some kind of gynecology hospital in the upper town, where gentlemen show their care for their wives and accompany them, it is just an underground clinic that has no light in sight.

The other girls were also surprised by the boy's appearance, but no one dared to ask, and after Bruce observed for a while, he realized that the boy had not come with his girlfriend, but with a friend of a younger female friend.

They came earlier, prescribed the medicine and left, and Bruce vaguely heard the boy calling the girl who accompanied him "Ran", and their complexion was very bad, and they looked like they had been hungry for a long time, but the boy made Bruce feel strange.

He doesn't look like a Gotham at all, and if there's one obvious difference, it's that he's even trying to take responsibility for things that have nothing to do with him at all β€” something that Bruce doesn't even think about anymore.

After a moment's thought, Bruce turned to his own business, collecting the tears of the girls, especially the ones who had come for a check-up after taking the pills, and although some of them were beginning to show adult numbness, they were clearly grieving the loss of their child.

The atmosphere here made Bruce feel like he couldn't stay long, fortunately there weren't many underground clinics, but accidents always happened, customers who came here had to queue up, and it took Bruce an afternoon to get the tears he wanted.

He finds a cat on the streets of Gotham and opens the bottle of tears for him to sniff.

It's not a well-founded ritual, but Bruce knows that there is one creature that is special in the dream world, and that is the cat, and they are all part of the dream of a thousand cats.

Bruce had heard the story of A Thousand Cats' Dream from the mouth of Batcat, and knew how powerful she was, second only to the Sandman herself, or at least far superior to Jack.

Then it is impossible for the cat in Gotham that Jack concocted in Dream Realm to bypass the Dream of a Thousand Cats, and the story of the Dream of a Thousand Cats lets Bruce know that she will resonate with the grief of losing a child.

Bruce, who had studied the occult deeply, knew that many magical rituals were born in this way, and that ancient magicians called out to demons and angels with things they cared about before they could make deals with them.

Bruce followed suit, and eventually, the Dream of a Thousand Cats responded to him.

At first, Dream of a Thousand Cats is angry about this, and he thinks that Bruce has deceived her, because Bruce is not the one who lost her child at all, he is just gathering the grief of other people.

But when he felt Bruce's breath, Thousand Cats chose to help him, which was even beyond Bruce's expectations, and Thousand Cats told him that everything he did in Gotham in the real world gave countless mothers and children a home.

Bruce didn't know if she was referring to cats or people, maybe both, because in the Gotham renovation project, pets can be kept in houses used for living, and most people who need to live in such houses are not likely to buy purebred cats, most of them can't outrun my pets, maybe there are really a lot of pregnant female cats that have been picked up?

Dream of a Thousand Cats is not human, and she is not so interested in helping humans, so she only vaguely sent a message to the object described by Bruce, and Batcat only understood what Bruce was looking for her, although Batcat was a cat, but he was also Batman, and he probably overestimated the seriousness of the matter by 10,000 times.

So, when it comes to Clark and Diana, the two of them agree that Bruce may be fighting the Sandman.

Although the two were anxious, because they didn't know anything about the dream realm, they took the safest method, which was to shake people.

At this time, not long after Clark graduated from college, if it weren't for the small popularity of Gotham City's reporting, she was still an intern reporter, and although Diana lived for a long time, she spent most of her time working as an art consultant in the Met.

The superheroes they knew could be counted on one hand, and even fewer had combat effectiveness, so Green Lantern Hal, Green Arrow Oliver, and Aquaman Arthur were all called over by them.

They first found a safe place to dream, and the batcats went to their dreams one by one to gather them together, and then they went to the cat city Gotham in the dream country, and then found their way to the dream where Bruce was.

The Dream Realm wasn't a real continent, it was a unique space made up of countless dream bubbles, which meant that they couldn't hike to Bruce's Dream Realm, so they had to think of something else.

They met God in the realm of dreams.

Why God appears here, we must start from the origin of the Sandman comic, although the Sandman series of comics is a comic book publication under DC, its world view is relatively independent, and the focus is not on superhero battles, but a series of bizarre and dreamy stories, absurd and eccentric, with a dark charm, which can be called Gothic style, and also has some Dionysian spirit.

The author of this series of comics has mentioned that some of the power settings of the Sandman comics are incompatible with the DC Universe, which also makes the Sandman in the Hentai family have unique powers.

There is a common misconception about the power of the Sandman, some people say that the Sandman has reshaped God, and they believe that the Sandman can be equal to God, or at least very few can influence God.

But in fact, the source of this statement is that Lucifer once mentioned that the external force that shapes God is similar to the Sandman, but the similarity here should refer to the Sandman is a collection of dreams, and the external force is a collection of beliefs of cosmic creatures.

None of the main manga mentions the details of the Sandman's influence on God, and the intersection of the main worldview and the Sandman manga worldview is just Lucifer.

But it is precisely because of the difference between the two worldviews that if there is a place where God's power is still beyond its reach, the dream realm is indeed one.

In conclusion, God has come here to find his son.

But he hasn't found it yet, it stands to reason that he only needs to ask the nebuta to know, but the problem is that now the masters of the dream country are Constantine and Schiller, and God is not afraid of Schiller, the main thing is to find a son or need a good sense of hearing.

Although you can't ask the Sandman, God can still ask the dream of a thousand cats, and just like that, the bat cat group who wants to go to the core of the dream of a thousand cats to find the answer meets God.

God sent them directly into the dream where Bruce was, nothing else, Bruce did a great job in heaven, and the best thing was to publish the diary that God had written about Lucifer before, and God was as happy as Lucifer was angry, and it was nothing to help.

Because God personally sent it in, Schiller and Jack, who have the authority of the dream realm at this moment, don't feel that there are a few more people in Gotham.

After the bat cat group came to this city, they were also stunned for a moment, isn't this Gotham? What's going on with this one-to-one pixel fork? One Gotham is not enough, so the two teachers and students are in trouble?

But they are not affected by the rules of the game, so naturally they have not become children, conservatively speaking, the image of these people together can be called a landmark of a city, and it is naturally easy for Bruce to find them.

Bruce struggled to convince the group that he was Bruce, and took some time to explain to them what was going on, but did not mention the cause of the dream world.

The main reason is that he is worried that this group of people will turn around and leave when they hear that it is Schiller again, this group of people can definitely do it, and Bruce doesn't want to let the rescuers he finally moved in have a problem.

Standing at the end of a secluded alley on the streets of Gotham, Clark looked at Bruce and said, "Why did you call us here?" As a child, it is dangerous to live alone on the streets of any city, and to die in a dream world is really dead! ”

"This world will not, but you should also feel that your superpowers cannot be used, that is, the special rules of this world, there are no superpowers here."

"That's not a problem, at least we're adults." Diana touched Bruce's head and said, "Even if we don't have special strength, no academic credentials, and no family background, at least the knowledge we have learned is still in our minds, and it is not difficult to find a job." ”

"Shouldn't we take him out of here?" Hal objected and said, "Is there any point in staying in this city?" Isn't this Gotham? You might as well let him go back to the real world and stand guard on the roof of Gotham, and still generate some tourism income. ”

"Of course there's no point in staying in Gotham in the dream world." Bruce nodded and said, "After all, the situation in the real world is much better than here, but it's not just Gotham. ”

"What do you mean?" Diana could hear something in Bruce's words.

"This is a dream, no matter what you do, it won't affect the real world, and you will die here and be resurrected, so you don't have any places you want to go?"

Several people were stunned.

At this moment, Bruce pulled out a few airline tickets from his shabby jacket, and the destination on them was written with a word that was unfamiliar to themβ€”"Mexico."

"Sandman" is really good, I recommend watching it
