The heavens and the earth were bleak.

Heavy dark clouds lay across the sky of Gotham, like a heavy mountain, impermeable to the wind, covering the blazing sun in the sky.

If the inhabitants of Gotham could pass through the black and gray clouds like an iron wall and face the sun on the vast sky dome for tens of thousands of meters, they would really see what the 'sun' of Gotham really is.

It was a huge portal of light entwined with countless golden thunderbolts, and the infinite light and heat it emitted brought life to the digital world, while it swallowed countless glimmers of light rising from the earth.

At this moment, on the edge of this gate of light, there are two people sitting opposite each other for a drink, looking down on everything in Gotham.

On the ground, nearly half of the tens of millions of players who have just poured into Gotham have participated in '7.13 Crazy Thursday', fighting to the death in order to successfully eat chicken and gain extraordinary abilities.

Gotham, the city of chaos, has been promoted to the city of madness, with blood and brains flowing all over the streets, and stumps and flesh flying everywhere. That is, in the process of all players being highly concentrated and excited, their 'unconscious' digestion of the Demon God's energy is greatly accelerated.

Above the sky, looking at the glimmer of light injected into the light gate, Gu Yi, the ace salesman who had just returned to the earth, raised his hand and touched his chin, and praised sincerely:

"Turbidity is one, people are divided, clear air rises, turbidity falls. The pure qi returns to the dimension of light, strengthens the dimension, fills the digital world with turbidity, and refines the false into the true. Goodness, great goodness! ”

"Mage Praise!" Li Hao was a little embarrassed to be praised.

"The key is to inject energy at all costs, and build a castle in the air that is constantly injected with external energy!"

Gu Yi took a sip of tea and said:

"Don't worry about it for at least two hundred years in the future, this time, I have already signed a contract with 265 Demon Gods to invest in the dimension of light, and have booked their dimensional energy output for the next two hundred years."

"Alas!" Speaking of this, Gu Yi couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that this impact came earlier, and some of the places that were too remote didn't run, otherwise maybe we could pull more than 300 of them!" ”

Li Hao listened carefully and rubbed his face: "So the previous debt exploded so soon?" ”

"It's not just debt, but the Wedo Partnership Common Prosperity Plan has also exploded!" The ancient one was very indignant, but in the end he controlled himself:

"Originally, each partner signed a confidentiality agreement, and Mei Zizi waited for 200 years later, and he had more than one-third of the dimensions.

But who would have expected that in this impact, there were several little demon gods whose dimensions happened to be near the two colliding universes, and of course the major event of the collapse of the universe had to be exchanged, and once they communicated, they found that they were all the dimension masters of our light dimension!

The point is that one of them still has a relationship with Setorak in the Crimson Dimension, and just happened to contact Setorak, who ended tens of millions of years of sleep because of this impact! ”

Gu Yi sat cross-legged, frowned and lightly tapped his eyebrows, then pointed to Li Hao, and shared the mysterious murmur from outside the universe to Li Hao.

"Crimson Dimension Setorak reminds you that in recent years, some mages have colluded with a certain newborn dimension demon god to deceive the dimension magic power by returning their souls to the dimension and sharing the newborn dimension, and now many demon gods have been deceived. This mage is the world's 996 supreme mage, and the specific dimensional attributes of this demon god are as follows."

The chaotic cosmic voice echoed in Li Hao's mind, sounding like there was no logic, but it was automatically translated into various languages he knew in Li Hao's mind and repeated repeatedly.

"This cosmic voice has spread throughout the multiverse! Because of the protection of the three major temples on the earth, the sound of the universe is blocked, but all the mages and strong people with a certain level in this universe can hear it."

In other words, in the entire Marvel multiverse, in the demon god circle and the strong circle, Li Hao and Gu Yi are notorious, and they are also disgusted with dogs.

But, who cares?

Anyway, it's not Li Hao and Gu Yi who just got hundreds of 200-year free energy supply treaties.

"The next stage can actually begin!" Gu Yi was full of energy, pursed his lips and said:

"I have received news from me in a parallel world that this disaster is caused by the 'Transcendental Protoss' and the 'Kyushu Protoss' from outside the multiverse, at least for now, it will definitely affect the entire multiverse system!

Soon, those demon gods who have signed a contract and those who have not signed a contract will come to us, and it is better to be the master of the one-thousandth dimension of light than to have the dimension destroyed! ”

Kyushu Protoss?

Now in front of you is a spy from Kyushu, and you still have to pull the countless demon gods of this universe into his bowl?

Li Hao showed a weird smile, echoed a few words of Gu Yi, and turned the topic to the chicken eating competition under the clouds that had entered the finals stage.

"Mage, let's watch the game first! The digital world is the 'stomach' of the dimension of light, and when the stomach is healthy and digested well, what you eat can be quickly converted into nutrients! ”

Crime Alley.

Under the gloomy sky of Gotham, the dusk wind blows through the chaotic streets, and it also blows Dave's heart.

"Ding!"

A yellow bullet hit the fence and landed on Dave's 'King of the Sea' uniform, causing Dave to shake uncontrollably.

This game is too real!

In the alley in front of him, a petite figure in a purple suit was holding a sword in one hand and a gun in the other, vigilantly looking at the old man standing with a sword in the distance, the whole person trembling in his intense, almost condensed murderous aura.

The piercing bullet sounded, and the still immature 'Super Killer Girl' poured the bullet at the old man in fear.

The old man holding a black sword with a demon head swung his sword unhurriedly, and the black sword of the demon head that was swung slashed in a graceful and deadly arc in front of him, easily blocking all the bullets.

The king of the League of Assassins, the old man of Batman, and the head of demons, Lei Xiaogu.

After the king of assassins who had lived for centuries easily resisted the bullets of the super-killer girl Mindy, he nodded slightly, looked Mindy up and down, and said indifferently:

"Good qualifications, do you want to join the Assassin League?"

"What's that? I don't want it! Seeing that the bullet didn't work, the super killer girl stuck the gun in her waist with her backhand, held the sword with both hands, and put on a swordsmanship starting pose.

Looking at Mindy's obviously wild swordsmanship, Lei Xiaogu's eyes became even more colorful, and the King of Assassins once again sent an invitation to Mindy:

"The League of Assassins is the best and strongest assassination organization in the world, and here, you can learn from it."

"Sure enough, when you hear the name, you know it's a villain organization! I'm a killer, I'm a hero. ”

Mindy spat out the gum in her mouth, ready to be killed offline for two hours, and rushed towards Lei Xiaogu in front of her after a roll.

'Bang! With a sound, Mindy, who rushed out, was stamped in the abdomen by Lei Xiaogu, and after two turns in the air, he fell to the ground, curled up in a ball.

Her dagger landed limply on the other side of the street.

"The sword is unstable to hold like that!"

Lei Xiaogu walked in front of Mindi, watched the seriously injured Mindy show his sword hand, and said in a dumb voice: "You should hold it like this!" ”

Mintiwa spat out blood, reluctantly raised his head, and looked at Lei Xiaogu's sword-holding hand viciously.

"Do you see clearly? Next is the two-handed grip! ”

Lei Xiaogu clenched the sword with both hands, then put the hilt of the sword on his abdomen, and explained: "Face the enemy head-on, hide the sword style."

"Ah~~Ah!"

The young man's high, near-broken shouts interrupted Lei Xiaogu's impromptu teaching.

From the perspective of Dave, who is hiding at the end of the alley, Lei Xiaogu, who is holding a sword in both hands, is about to use his sword to kill the girl on the ground who has no power to resist.

He knew it was just a game, and the girl would be resurrected when she died, but. If you are a coward in the game, then what qualifications do you have to expect to be a hero in reality!

"Let go of that girl!"

Dave staggered to pick up Mindy's fallen sword and roared towards Thunder Valley.

Lei Xiaogu turned sideways slightly, dodging Dave's undisciplined stabbing, and then he was about to pierce the young man in a strange tights with a sword.

"Stop!"

A black batrang collided with Lei Xiaogu's black sword, flipped and fell to the ground.

Lei Xiaogu put away his sword and stood, not bothering to take care of Mindy and Dave again, but looked up at the telephone pole at the end of the alley.

Batman, who appeared in Crime Alley at some point, spread his cape, and the black soft cloak was like a delicate glider, allowing him to fly like a peregrine falcon in front of Lei Xiaogu.

Lei Xiaogu swung his sword to resist Batman's arm blade that fell from the sky, deflected the blade at an incredible angle, and pushed Batman away with his force.

Batman nimbly flipped over, unloaded his strength, and landed firmly on the ground.

Batman showed no mercy to his 'mentor', looked at Lei Xiaogu with hostility, and asked in a cold and disgusted voice:

"Lei Xiaogu, is the chaos in Gotham today caused by you and your assassins?"

"You always treat me as an enemy"

Lei Xiaogu couldn't hide his disappointment, like an empty nester who couldn't get love and blamed the child who hadn't returned home for a long time:

"Not me. It's not surprising that anything happens in a hellish place like Gotham, is it? It's you who matters!

Bruce, you know, as long as you say a word, as long as you're willing to take my place, you can."

"That's enough, Lei Xiaogu!"

Batman raised his arms, and the sharp sharktooth blade on his arm popped out again, the cold blade reflecting his white jaw.

"If it's not you, don't get involved in this mess!"

"Hmm, okay, okay!" Lei Xiaogu directly put away his sword, and turned around and walked towards the alley without being afraid of Batman's sneak attack from behind.

"That's right!"

Lei Xiaogu, who walked to the entrance of the alley, suddenly turned around and showed a hearty smile, as if he had thought of something interesting, he said:

"Talia has a surprise for you! You'll love it, I promise! ”

With that, the figure of the King of Assassins flickered and disappeared from Batman's sight.

It hurts!

Dave, who was not pierced by Lei Xiaogu, but tripped himself up, tried his best to turn over, endured the pain, and grinned at Batman who suddenly appeared.

"Batman! You are my idol! ”

Dave's eyes widened, his eyes lit up, and he shouted in surprise, "I want to be a hero like you, too!" ”

Batman didn't answer, until the monitor connected to the helmet confirmed that Lei Xiaogu had left the area, and then crouched down and gave the seriously injured Mindy a healing injection.

Mindy snorted and fainted, while Dave looked at the silent Batman with a wistful look the whole time.

"A child like you should study obediently on campus, instead of thinking about it!"

"No!"

Dave stubbornly raised his head, his dark eyes staring at Batman's pitch-black mask, his eyes red:

"I'm not one of those stupid people who have a hot brain or want to be a hero for the sake of fame, I just want to protect the weak who are bullied like me, and I want to protect those who are kind!"

Batman crouched down, his eyes so cold that there was almost no emotion that made the boy even more stressed, but instead stimulated his conversation.

It's just a game anyway, isn't it?

Dave gushed like a bean.

Batman was unmoved, and after listening to a few words, he stood up and prepared to leave.

until

"My mother, Martha.

An ordinary and ordinary housewife, a good person.

But good people don't live long, until the morning before she died, she told me, Dave, you have to be a good boy, be a good person"

The sound of the special alloy boots hitting the ground suddenly stopped, and Batman stood in front of the alley, listening to the boy's errant chatter.

Because he was scolded by his mother because he slept in the morning, his mother was worried about his academic performance.

Batman listened to the boy's chatter and became fascinated.

If it were me, I would have to get up early every day and go back to the first place in the grade!

But I didn't even have a chance to be scolded.

"That's it!"

When Dave spoke about the bully in his next class, Batman finally spoke.

Batman looked at the end of the alley, where there seemed to be a pool of blood that had been there for many, many years.

"You are so weak that you can't be a real hero!"

He looked at the young man's teardropping face, opposite the dark misty eyes, as if he saw a smaller sobbing boy.

Batman tried his best to maintain his usual indifferent mute voice, so that the teenager in front of him would not hear the suspicion:

"Come with me, I can teach you something!"

That's right, Tim is going to college soon, and I need a new Robin.

Batman always has to have a Robin's, doesn't he?

"Really?"

Dave rubbed his face in disbelief and slapped himself hard, and after confirming that it wasn't a dream, he smirked.

Baxman: Shouldn't I have found such a stupid Robin?

"Yes!"

There's no way, if you agree with yourself, you have to do it with tears.

Dave stood up, looked at Batman's pitch-black batcape with some weakness, and whispered:

"Can I go to the Park Street Theatre first?"

Batman's brow furrowed under his mask, and judging from the surveillance system he monitored throughout Gotham, a large number of people were rushing in the direction of the theater.

He asked briefly, "Why?" ”

Because the newly painted small safe area is centered around the theater.

Dave thought for a moment and didn't lie, but said vaguely, "There's something very important there." ”

Batman didn't pursue it, and motioned for Dave to pick up the half-awake Super Killer Girl, and the three of them rushed in the direction of the Park Street Theater.
