I woke up from a dream.

But when they woke up, they found that they were not on Apocalypse, they were in Gotham City, and in Arkham Asylum, and the villains of Gotham were lined up in a row, staring intently at the few people lying on the floor of the hall.

The first to wake up was Spider-Man, who patted his head with his hand, shook his head vigorously, and said in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" Why do I seem to see a spaceship? ”

Harley rubbed her shoulders while crooking her neck, and after a few chest expansions, she said, "If I'm not mistaken, did a ship last point its guns on us?" What kind of script is this? Has Darkseid in the dream world developed to the Apocalypse? ”

Damian looked sluggish as he got up, but Bruce Jr. had already turned his head and began to search for the familiar figure, and sure enough, Batman was sitting on a chair next to him and was adjusting the bat equipment on his body.

Noticing Bruce's gaze, Batman spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "You read that right, that's Darkseid and his ship." ”

"I don't understand!" Bruce raised his voice and said, "What about fair play?" Everyone started with Gotham orphans, and Darkseid built a spaceship in a few months, isn't that outrageous? ”

"Am I awake? Was it really just a dream? Damian muttered in a daze, and suddenly he froze, and then sneaked a glance at Batman with his peripheral vision.

If he's not mistaken, Batman hugged him at the last moment, was that his delusion? Or seriously......

Damian felt a little frightened, and he kept muttering in his mind that it was just a dream, besides, he had been hugged by the young Batman before, and there was nothing to make a fuss about.

Harley narrowed her eyes, she looked around, and sure enough, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd, so she ran over, hugged Harley Harleyn, looked up at her, and said, "Go and ask your little pudding, what the hell is going on, I guess he knows." ”

Harley Quinn whistled a few times to the sky, then began to look down at the pattern on the handle of her hammer, Harley's gaze became more and more unkind, Harley looked at the knife flying behind her, sighed, and said, "Well, I don't know much, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you." ”

Suddenly, the eyes of several people who had just woken up fell on her, and Harley Quinn curled her fingers in her braided hair on one side, and said, "Actually, before I took you to Arkham Asylum, the Clown came to me, oh, the clown of our world, my little cookie." ”

"Then you say you don't know why he went?" Harley raised her tone and said dissatisfied.

"I really don't know what he's going to do." Harley Quinn still looked very aggrieved, she pursed her lips and said, "He only told me that he was going to do a big job, let me help." ”

"What did he ask you to help with?"

"He said he and the other two clowns would drag people on an alien planet into dreams, and asked me to take the lunatics and Robins from Arkham Asylum to take the valuable things from that planet."

Harley opened her mouth wide and looked at Harley Harley, who spread her arms and pretended to be innocent, "Before you fell asleep, the Joker gave me a signal, so I took these crazy people to Apocalypse Star in Gotham, I don't know exactly how to do it, but the things have been moved anyway." ”

"But what's going on with Darkseid?" Harley scratched her head in confusion, Harley Quinn was clearly part of the clowns' plan, but it made her even more curious about what the full plan was.

At that moment, the door of the hall was pushed open, and the clown stood outside at the center of everyone's conversation.

Of course, it was still the main universe clown, and he walked in with his hands behind his back, and then swooped in front of Batman and said to him with a smile: "How is it?" I'm doing a good job, right? ”

Ignoring him, Batman got up from his chair and turned to the lunatics at Arkham Asylum and said, "Let's drive Gotham back first, but don't land, the bunch of things that have been brought back from the Apocalypse still need to be dealt with." ”

"Wait a minute." Spider-Man suddenly realized something, he ran to the window, looked outside, and then roared with a little horror echoed through the city.

"How does Gotham fly in the sky?!!!!"

In Wayne Manor, Schiller walked out of the guest room, Bruce didn't know when he sat back on the sofa, Constantine looked up at Schiller who was walking down the stairs, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's time to reveal the mystery." ”

As if suddenly awakened, Jack sat up straight from the couch and smacked his lips into his mouth as if he had been awakened suddenly.

Schiller sat on the couch, Harvey filled his glass with wine, Schiller picked it up and clinked glasses with him gently, and then began to recount his plan.

"It's not exactly my plan, it's Joker's." Schiller's first sentence was so striking that everyone looked at Jack, but Jack rolled his eyes and said, "It's not me, it's another." ”

"That's when my clown personality traits weren't as one with me." Schiller took a sip of wine, looked at everyone's surprised eyes and said, "So what are you surprised about, didn't I say a long time ago that this plan started very early?" ”

"It's a little too early." Gordon commented.

"My clown personality wasn't yet one with me when Jack was in my mind hall, but he was actually part of arrogance and possessed some of my traits, especially tolerance."

Schiller sighed softly and said, "I was chosen by Batman, so part of my arrogance was contaminated into a Joker, and both the arrogant and arrogant clowns were unhappy with this, and they were looking for a way to fight back." ”

"Wait a minute." Konstantin heard what Schiller meant, he stared at Schiller and said, "You mean you and Bruce tortured each other for four years, and it's not a fight back against Batman?" ”

Schiller shook his head and said, "It's not Batman who wants to fight back, it's the rule that Batman's gaze can turn people into clowns." ”

Several people were silent for a moment, but more like they had nothing to say, Gordon smacked his lips and said, "Can I understand that you want to take revenge on this world?" ”

"Roughly so." Schiller took another sip of his drink, and then said, "You should know that I have summed up some rules of Batman and the Joker, which are the underlying rules of this world, and I am also applying these rules to make my plans. ”

"It's like coming up with a mathematical conjecture, proving the conjecture to be true, and then using a formula to solve the problem, but this conjecture is too superficial, and I think there should be a corresponding conjecture that can explore the nature of the world in more depth."

"I have a headache." Konstantin covered his forehead and said, "Just tell me what you did." ”

"In order to give a look at the rules of the world that randomly polluted my personality traits, and to come up with more innovative conjectures, I made a deal with the Clown Personality, and the two of us became one, became complete arrogance, and then put the whole plan into practice."

"The whole plan is roughly as follows: first, in order to prevent the restrictions of the real world from affecting my plan, and in order to prevent excessive disturbances from affecting the earth's home, we need a pure experimental environment, and the dream country is the best choice."

"Oh, that's the part that targets me." Konstantin said with some depression.

"Sorry, I didn't target you." Schiller shook his head and said, "I didn't expect Morpheus to leave the authority of Oneiroi to a rotten man who was going to sleep with him the first time he saw him, you were a surprise." ”

Konstantin clutched his chest, and the expression on his face was not known whether it was pain or happiness, or both.

"How you came to power in the dream world, we already understand." Zatana added: "You gave a part of your soul to Konstantin, so naturally you have the authority that he has, and this part can be skipped. ”

"Thank you, miss." Schiller nodded, and continued, "While I was stealing the authority of the Dream Realm, Jack was also doing his work in the Dream Realm. ”

"The Sandman who manages the Dream Realm and the others in the Dream Realm think that Jack is just a ramless mess maker, and the Sandman thinks that Jack is the big alarm clock I threw into the Dream Realm, but in fact, Jack took the opportunity to make trouble and successfully found the dream collection of our cosmic real world."

"The dreams in the dream country are bubbles one after another, the dreams of the same universe and the same region are all in one collection, it is not easy to find, it took Jack some time, but it was all worth it."

"What do you mean?"

"Extract and fuse the useful parts of the dream world of life in our universe to build the dream world you just saw."

"I said how that's so realistic." Barbara suddenly realized: "If the whole world was built by Jack, he wouldn't know so much about rural Mexico, right?" ”

"It is better to say that he built it, than to say that he fused it." Schiller goes on to explain: "He just extracts and fuses the real-world elements of the world's dreams, and because those memories are real, the dreams naturally appear very real." ”

Bruce turned to look at Jack, who smiled at him and said, "I'm still not lying, the phrase 'I didn't just build Gotham' can mean that I've built somewhere else, and that I've done something other than that, doesn't it?" ”

Bruce covered his mouth with a wine glass.

"What are you doing this for?" Barbara asked, her eyes scanning between Schiller and Jack and saying, "I can't say I know Joker very well, but I do know that if two people are fanatically pursuing an idol at the same time, there will be no friendship between them." ”

"Naturally, because of the conjecture I wanted to explore, the other clowns were also interested." Schiller smiled and said, "Love is the greatest motivation, isn't it?" ”

"But it's not enough to have a venue, this project has to have test subjects, Jack and I only have two clowns combined, and we need a third."

"By chance, I went to the main universe......" Schiller turned to look at Bruce, who looked up to study the pattern of the ceiling.

"I think the clown in the main universe is not bad, although there was a little turmoil in the middle, so my body has no way to go to the main universe, but after all, the experimental site is in the dream universe, so it doesn't hinder anything."

"On the eve of the invasion of the Apocalypse Star in the main universe, I contacted the clown in the main universe through a dream, I explained my conjecture to him, hoping that he could cooperate with me to complete the plan, and he was also interested in my proposal, so he joined our research group, and the three clowns got together."

"I still don't understand what you're trying to do." Konstantin looked puzzled and said, "It's better to tell me what your conjecture is first." ”

The others all looked at Schiller intently, interested in the conjecture that would impress the other two clowns.

Schiller nodded and said in agreement.

"If Batman's gaze can produce the Joker, can the Joker's gaze also produce Batman?"
