Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 174 The Robber Has Been Killed, No Hostage Found

Dark, damp, inexplicable noise.After Alfred opened his eyes, the first thing he faced were these nasty things.

However, he didn't care about these things. What made him more concerned was where he was.

And, what is the thing on his chest that is firmly attached to the outside of the heart.

When he stretched out his hand to knock on the lid-like thing, the lump of mud clinging to his chest was really mud, with the exact same texture as plasticine.

How weak.

But when Alfred tried to pull this disgusting thing out of his heart, it became hard and sharp, like a living creature, stretching out a long and sharp stick from his heart Claws with hooked feet and sharp blades.

Even if Alfred had the perfect courage to endure the pain and other possible after effects, after several attempts, he gave up the idea.

will die.

If you want to tear that thing off with brute force, you have to dig out your own heart.

……

This is a dungeon.

Although there was no light or sound, Alfred still relied on his own experience to determine his location through subtle sounds similar to white noise and the humid environment.

only……

This place doesn't seem to be a regular space, and Alfred didn't find any artificial doors, windows, or walls anywhere.

This seems to be a naturally occurring cave.

And the export...

Alfred looked up to the top of his head. After groping in the dark for a long time, his eyes had adapted to the darkness.

But he still couldn't see the light above his head.In other words, there was no light above his head at all.

But that doesn't seem to make sense.

Unless, unless the person who kidnapped him here is not a "person".But a disgusting monster.

Knocking the mud on his heart again, Alfred vaguely remembered what happened before he fell into a coma. He remembered that he seemed to be wrapped in such mud, and then fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen.

"So, I was kidnapped. Still in my own home. It's a real shame.

Well, I still have to admit, I'm getting old. "

Alfred continued to explore this small space, without any panic in his gestures, and without any depression caused by being in a crisis and unable to save himself.

Alfred is a strong man, and this is not what he boasted about, but the evaluation made by everyone who knows him well.

After confirming that he seemed to be involved in some "supernatural events", Alfred first confirmed the fact that he might not be able to defeat the opponent.

Then, he confirmed another fact: Master Wayne will definitely have a solution.

Clark has it too.

Lynn does too.

So, there's nothing to worry about.

Alfred may not know much about others, but he has absolute confidence in these three.

According to Lynn's joke at a party, if Clark wanted to, he could even knead the earth into a ball, knead it into powder, and knead it into a ball again.

Who knows, maybe that's how the dinosaurs died out.

Alfred doesn't care about the dating of civilization, prehistoric humans, and various archaeological matters, nor does he care about how dinosaurs became extinct, and he doesn't even care about his own safety.

He just felt that this time, it seemed that he would lose face in front of Old Kent.

Clark and Master Wayne have enough credibility to be trusted by others, but Lynn...

He will definitely say it.

He will take the initiative to say it, he will say it with embellishment, he will say it with great fanfare, he will wear a loudspeaker, print it into a leaflet, and pay a TV station to play it in turn...

The title is: Alfred's self-rescue journey in the mud pit captured by the mud.

There is no doubt that Lynn can definitely do such a thing.

"My God..."

At this moment, Alfred, who was not afraid of darkness, death, or even spiders, finally became afraid.

He eagerly began to seek self-help, and while he was sweating, he was still thinking: "Don't let Lynn find me first, don't let Lynn find me first, don't..."

"You don't seem to understand your situation."

The voice was obviously loud and loud, filling the entire space, but it sounded inexplicably low and indistinct.

Alfred saw that the "wall" in front of him twisted, deformed, and gradually bulged. Under the not-so-clear light, it gradually took on a clear shape.

It was a person, a person with uncoordinated human limbs and a height of nearly three meters.

Then, Alfred saw that person stepping out from the wall.

stood in front of him.

It was also at this time that there was light in the empty cave.

What an ugly person that is...

Even Alfred, who has good education and moral standards, has to admit that this guy is a bit ugly.

Blue-black, long, arthropod-like feet that look like praying mantises or something.The huge belly is covered with raised spots of tawny.The sternum with protruding bones is less than one-third the size of the belly, the slender centipede-like neck, plus one, the head of a dog.

And his hands, like mud, were connected to the wall while dropping mud spots.

Alfred suddenly felt a little sick.

This made him a little frustrated. He originally thought that his moral standards should be higher.

"You should have let me go, seriously."

Alfred sorted out his thoughts, and calmly began to "negotiate" with the other party.

He tapped his chest again, made a dull and hoarse voice, and said loudly: "I don't know what you want, or what kind of considerations you have for arresting me here. However, that is not wise.

Believe me, you still have a chance to regret it now. "

"Human, I don't need you to teach me how to do things. Now, kneel down! You should respect me, kneel in the dust humblely, and recite my god name!"

"Hmm... that's fine. Then, what is your god name?"

silence.

There was a long silence.

Until the dog-headed god looked at his body, his arms, and his weird body.

He seemed to be saying to himself: "I used to be a god, yes, I should be a god.

Time... what a cruel thing, what a terrible thing.

I seem to have forgotten why I became like this, I seem to have forgotten who I am.

Human, you should call me: Hermo. "

"Okay, Helmo, you should let it go..."

"Shut up! Human! As I said, you are not qualified!"

Alfred has sufficient experience in communicating with mental patients, whatever mania, split personality, intermittent psychosis...

All are small problems.

Alfred has experienced the situation of communicating with Batman and Lynn at the same time more than once.

what is this.

small scene.

……

"you."

Claiming to be Hermo's... God, let's say he is a god.

He stretched out his arm and touched Alfred's heart.

"You can't leave here. Unless that human named Lynn gives me what I need."

Alas, it really was Lynn.

I don't know why, but after hearing these words, Alfred felt a little pity for this god.

Originally, Alfred deduced that since this matter involved supernatural events, there was a high probability that it would not be caused by him or Master Wayne.

As we all know, in Gotham, everyone is playing with their brains.Even if some props and technologies are used, they basically come from inventions, scientific achievements, or laboratory accidents.

Supernatural events, since no one can be blamed.That's most likely Lynn's fault.

After all, it's still the same sentence, if something is involved in Lin En, it will be reasonable if it is unreasonable.

"I still suggest you, um... Get some money and buy it with Lynn. I'm serious. This is more reliable than you."

Alfred is still sincerely persuading the other party.

"If Lynn finds me, really..."

Alfred didn't go on, but he knew in his heart that he didn't feel that he was really safe.

Maybe it's possible that Lynn blew this up when he got excited.

"Ah."

Hermo held out his hand, or more appropriately, his paw.

He squeezed Alfred up and put it on the front of his dog's head. At this time, Alfred saw the other half of the other's head.

It's all rotten.

"That human named Lynn, of course he won't find it here.

Because I will go to him first.

Go to him with one ear and one arm. "

"Ugh……"

Alfred sighed, and he didn't know whether he was sighing for himself or for the other party.

"I think you……"

"Ah. Found it."

In the cave, another voice suddenly came to mind.

Being pinched in the hands of the rotten god, Alfred, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his face when he heard this voice.

not good!

Lynn found me!

…………

This is indeed a cave.

A natural cave transformed with special divine power.

Alfred's friends are looking for his clues in various places, but it is not so easy to find a person who has been deliberately hidden.

So, Lynn's avatars came up with a good idea.

They were divided into groups and belonged to various powerful people, and carried out a carpet search by dividing areas.

The Kryptonian has super hearing, and Lynn's avatar, who was in the same group as Fiora and Clark, threw bombs one after another, and the two listened to the echo.

Old Bat has the power of technology and the power of money.The avatars in the group with Batman were all equipped with professional equipment in the shortest possible time, from infrared to thermal sensors, from search and rescue dogs to sonar.

Diana can perceive divine power, and the avatars in a group with her will consecrate themselves in various ways, and "dedicate" one every certain area. After the divine power overflows, Diana will judge the degree and direction of the divine power's passing.

The most interesting one is Brother Mars.

He knows a little about everything, and he also has the ability of mind linking, so he directly uses Lynn's avatar as a signal amplifier, and through the bombing of various mind bombs, he sweeps across hills and streams in pieces...

Finally, in a certain place, in the responsible area of ​​a certain avatar, an interesting clue was encountered.

After being swept away by the mind bomb here, the attack was eliminated and the assimilation disappeared.

So, the avatar directly activated the skill, started running around the mountain, and after finding a big hole, he jumped down after thinking for only 0.001 seconds.

Lynn's clone, he wouldn't admit that he didn't stop and fell.

then……

Then he hung on a rock and climbed down.

Alfred was found in the depths of the cave and was captured by a big monster.

"Ah. Found it."

After saying this, the avatar cleared his throat, raised his neck and shouted: "Come on—! Alfred is held in the palm of the monster, and he is about to lose his precious things—" —!!"

Damn it...

It doesn't matter who almost scolded it.

What's important is that, one second after the avatar shouted, Martian brother fell from the sky.

Two more seconds later, Diana fell from the clouds.

Another second later, Fiora appeared.

Then, Superman came too.

"Al!"

After Da Chao saw the monster, he punched the ground directly.

Alfred soon saw the live version of what Lynn said [a punch that hammered the earth in half].

The solid ground split a wide gap, and the edge of the cave that Alfred couldn't destroy no matter what made the sound of metal tearing, being torn apart and dismembered.

Alfred saw the night sky before dawn again.

"and many more!"

"Don't do it directly."

Just as Da Chao was about to rush over, Martian brother and Diana spoke at the same time and stopped Da Chao.

The cave below... on the platform, the ugly monster reached out and grabbed Alfred to block it. They clearly saw that there was another beating "heart" in Alfred's heart.

A heart made of mud.

They didn't know what it was, but it was Alfred's life at stake.

Can't act rashly.

Standing on four sides, Clark and others directly surrounded the monster.

Martian brother tried to influence the other party with his spiritual ability, but the chaotic and chaotic divine power and equally chaotic thinking of the other party made him unable to do so.

All of a sudden, including Diana, everyone who saw the true face of this monster for the first time fell into a dilemma.

At this time, Batman was driving the car and arrived late.

"what do you want."

Batman is the last to come in, but goes straight into the state seamlessly.

"What about the human named Lynn. He has what I want."

"Is it the slate, or the sword?"

"No. Stupid! It's the ring! The ring! You can't fool me! I want his ring!"

Batman was about to make a noise, so he told a lie to stabilize the other party, and then lied to it to buy some time, and then got a fake ring to try, and if it didn't work, he would use Lynn's avatar to deceive him or something.

Before he could start his honest attack to save his righteous partner, the sky was already turning white, it seemed...

Take a step back.

The shadow enveloped the earth in an instant, and disappeared in an instant.

When the light appeared again, there was already one more person in the field unknowingly.

Even Martian and Clark didn't realize when Lynn actually stood between them.

broken.

Except for the monster, everyone present said this sentence in their minds at the same time.

"Al."

Lynn also entered the role very quickly and smoothly.

He stood there and said coldly, "Do you believe me?"

Alfred was stunned for a moment, and Lynn said again: "Okay."

What good?
what's good?

How can it be all right?
boom!
A shot went off.

Alfred was shot in the chest.

boom!
boom! boom! boom!
"call."

Lynn blew on the muzzle.

Slowly "drawing" a big sword from the palm.

"Now, you have no hostage~
Am I~~pretty——! !

Call me—!
Don't hit too hard!I'm going to make soup for Al too! "

For some reason, everyone seemed to see the "dead" Alfred twitching.

Maybe, it's an illusion.

Hmm... must be hallucination.
