Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 443 Batman's Methods
"Announcement to the entire town! Announcement to the entire town!"

"Danger exists inside the fog. All residents are urged to take shelter in the nearest building, lock doors and windows, remain vigilant, and await rescue."

"Announcement to the whole town! Announcement to the whole town..."

The announcer's voice rang out across the town of Hawkins.

The announcement spread through the thick fog, and everyone in the town could hear it clearly.

During this period, there are already many people staying at home.

Those who weren't at home were all in various stores.

Just then, I heard the broadcast and looked outside at the thick fog.

With reservations in mind, one naturally wouldn't easily venture out.

However, this applies to every era and every place.

There will always be a group of people who don't believe in superstition.

The thick fog outside was indeed very eerie.

The town government's warning of danger was indeed a bit frightening.

But isn't that actually more exciting?!

Such dense fog is something you don't see even once in many years.

Wouldn't it be a shame not to go out and have fun today?
This group of thrill-seekers is mostly composed of teenagers.

They are inherently restless and rebellious, yearning for adventure and passion.

In truth, I didn't take the warning on the radio to heart at all.

Given Xu Wang's personality, he definitely wouldn't bother with these people.

After all, he had already given all the warnings he needed to.

If any further problems arise, then we must respect individual fate.

However, Xu Wang wouldn't care.

However, many of the helpers he summoned could be considered heroes.

If they were to encounter such a situation and see civilians in danger, they certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

Just like now.

Steve Harrington, a prominent figure at Hawkins High School, is making his way through the fog-filled streets with two of his cronies.

The two friends are named Tommy and Carlo, and they are a young couple.

This Carlo even came up to chat with Xu Wang on his first day of school.

Then she ran away after Xu Wang called her "Auntie".

Later, they often saw Xu Wang at school.

Steve and Tommy originally planned to get revenge for Carlo and cause trouble for Xu Wang.

Instead, Xu Wang folded it up and threw it into the two baskets like a basketball.

The principal and teachers completely ignored the matter and all sided with Xu Wang.

After that, Steve and his crew completely quieted down.

Even the school bully who used to cause trouble for Will and his friends has started to avoid them.

have to say.

Because of Xu Wang's existence.

Steve and his friends can no longer run rampant at school.

I've been so bored lately.

Ignoring radio warnings and driving through the dense fog is partly due to a sense of defiance.

Of course, the most important thing is the excitement of adolescence for teenagers.

This is why Steve chose to ignore the risks and insist on the visit.

Tommy raised his hand to brush away the fog beside him and said, "With such thick fog, you still want to go find that sweet girl?"

Steve grinned: "Don't you guys think this is more exciting? Besides, I promised yesterday that I would come to see Nancy today."

With the fog as cover, I can easily climb straight into her room.

Tommy shrugged after hearing what Steve had said and said, "Whatever makes you happy."

Then he turned to Carlo beside him and said, "Carlo, don't you think it's very cold today?"

The words fell.

The streets were quiet, shrouded in thick fog, and Tommy received no response.

This made Tommy's heart tighten instinctively, and he had a bad feeling.

Then Tommy shouted, "Carlo! Carlo?!"

There was still no reaction within the thick fog.

Tommy's bad premonition suddenly intensified, and he even had the urge to run away.

"here……"

Far away, through the mist, Tommy heard Carlo's indistinct reply.

Tommy immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

In the blur, he could see a figure waving at him.

"Fuck! Carlo! Don't run around!"

Tommy was a little angry and ran towards the figure.

The fog was thick, making the figures appear blurry, but in reality, the two sides were not far apart.

Tommy took two steps to the figure, raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and didn't dare to take a picture.

Suddenly, I realized that the man-eating monster disguised as Carlo might be hidden in the fog.

After all, the sense of déjà vu is just too strong.

That's how it's usually portrayed in movies.

Tommy, what are you doing?

Carlo emerged from the mist and looked at Tommy, whose expression was somewhat strange.

Tommy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person in front of him was indeed his girlfriend, but then scolded her a little angrily, "Why did you run so far?"

Carlo wasn't going to tolerate her boyfriend's behavior and immediately gave him the middle finger: "With such thick fog, you could easily get lost. I'd like to ask you why you're walking so fast."

As he spoke, Carlo glanced behind Tommy again: "Where's Steve?"

"Isn't Steve right behind me?"

Tommy turned his head and looked back.

Steve was nowhere to be found.

Behind us was only a thick, white fog.

Not a single ghost could be seen.

"Steve—! Steve—!"

Tommy immediately shouted into the fog.

They even heard an echo, but received no response.

"Steve—!"

Meanwhile, Steve, who was still groping his way forward in the thick fog, vaguely heard someone calling his name.

He subconsciously looked back.

But he didn't pay attention.

He had now arrived at the entrance of Maple Street.

This is the home of his girlfriend, Nancy Wheeler.

He was already at his girlfriend's house, so he didn't care where Tommy and Carlo were.

Steve dared not shout, for fear that Nancy's parents would hear him.

After all, Nancy is a good girl.

She didn't want her parents to know that she had a boyfriend.

So Steve groped his way through the fog and came straight to the corner of Wheeler's house, intending to climb up to the second floor by stepping on the flower bed.

He was already very familiar with this.

Nancy's room is just upstairs.

only.

I don't know if it's because of this thick fog today.

The atmosphere was strange; Steve had a feeling that something was watching him.

But when he looked back several times, he couldn't see anything unusual.

However, seeing that he had already climbed to the second floor, the window of the southwest room was right in front of him.

Steve stopped thinking about it and quickly went forward to knock on the glass.

"Boom boom boom!"

A crisp sound of glass rang out.

The girl with a single ponytail, who was sitting on the bed with her back to the window, was startled!

Nancy suddenly turned around, revealing a slender, delicate face that was filled with shock.

Upon seeing that it was Steve lying outside the window, he was so angry that his eyes widened!

Then he seemed to think of something.

Nancy quickly ran towards the window, shouting as she ran, "Come in quickly!"

"what?"

Steve didn't understand what Nancy meant.

He still had that smug grin on his face that teenagers think is cool.

Little did they know that Nancy was so anxious she was practically getting blisters on her forehead.

"Nancy! What are you doing?! You can't open the window!"

Just as Nancy ran over to open the window and let Steve in...

Nancy's younger brother, Mike, who was also Xu Wang's friend, ran upstairs to find Nancy and bring her down.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw this scene and immediately cried out in alarm.

Nancy knew, of course, that opening the window was dangerous. But she couldn't just stand by and watch her boyfriend hang himself outside.

So she ignored Mike, kept walking, and went straight to open the window!
"come on in!"

Without saying a word, Nancy pulled Steve toward the window.

Steve was still looking bewildered, wondering what was wrong with his girlfriend today.

The next second, Steve felt a rough hemp rope tighten around his neck!

A strong force came and suddenly pulled Steve from behind!
The intense feeling of suffocation instantly filled Steve's mind with fear!
With one hand held by Nancy, he instinctively reached for the rope around his neck with the other, trying to catch his breath.

But the hemp rope was really too tight.

Steve couldn't get a grip on even the smallest gap.

The rope behind him was still very strong, trying to lift him into the air.

In that brief second, Steve felt like he was suffocating.

"Steve!"

Nancy was terrified and desperately grabbed Steve, while trying to cut the rope behind his head with scissors in her other hand.

As it turned out, the hemp rope was as strong as a steel cable.

No matter how hard Nancy tried, she couldn't cut it with her scissors!

"Nancy!"

Seeing that his sister was about to be pulled out of the window as well, Mike quickly ran forward and hugged her waist.

At the very least, we can't let anything happen to Nancy.

But it happened at this time.

Another hanging rope swung from the side, about to reach through the window and around Nancy's neck!

Just at this time.

Two sharp whooshing sounds were heard.

Two batarangs flew by.

He abruptly severed the two hanging ropes, which were as strong as steel!
The backward pulling force on my neck suddenly disappeared.

Steve was suddenly pulled and thrown into the house by Nancy and Mike, making a dull thud!
That was quite a hard impact.

But Steve couldn't care less about that at the moment.

He lay on the ground, his face ashen, frantically trying to untie the rope around his neck, coughing painfully.

He was just a hair's breadth away from being strangled to death by this thing.

Mike and his sister temporarily ignored Steve.

They lay on the ground, looking out the window.

The first thing you see is several balloons with human faces hidden in the thick fog, with ropes hanging from their bottoms.

These balloons are expressionless, with a faint, eerie smile.

It sends chills down your spine at first glance.

Two of the balloons with their strings cut off looked exactly like Steve and Nancy!
There's also a balloon with a human head floating by, gradually transforming into Mike's appearance.

Clearly, Nancy's open window had drawn all the dangerous presences lurking in the mist.

Yes, or rather.

These things are very clever.

They knew Steve had come to see Nancy.

So they didn't attack Steve along the way.

She simply watched him quietly from within the thick fog.

They only made their move after using Steve as bait to trick Nancy into opening the window.

Realize this.

This undoubtedly sent chills down the spines of Mike and Nancy.

"Da da!"

Suddenly, a tall, black figure landed on the windowsill.

He jumped backward, landed inside, and slammed the window shut behind him.

The sudden appearance of the figure clearly startled the two people in the room.

Until the other party flicked his cloak and turned his face to the three teenagers inside the room.

Mike's face lit up with joy, and he immediately jumped up from the ground!
He looked excitedly at the tall figure with pointed ears and a butt-shaped chin: "You're Batman?! You saved us?! I knew it! Batman must be real!"

Batman glanced at Mike, nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's dangerous outside. Stay home and don't open the doors or windows."

Batman repeated the warning from the broadcast.

Nancy was a little embarrassed.

Having just narrowly escaped death, Steve was now much more clear-headed, so he apologized, "I'm sorry."

This time, it was indeed because of his carelessness that he almost caused the deaths of himself and Nancy's family.

This made Steve feel guilty.

However, he quickly remembered that Tommy and Carlo were still outside, so he hurriedly added, "There are two more people on the street outside."

Batman nodded, indicating that he had heard.

Then he looked at Nancy beside him: "Are you afraid of the balloons outside?"

That's nonsense.

No one is unafraid of such bizarre human head balloons.

But Batman doesn't talk nonsense.

Nancy was about to answer when she seemed to suddenly remember something and immediately changed her answer: "When I was a child, I was scared by a balloon with a clown's head drawn on it, and I even got a fever."

Batman nodded upon hearing this.

We've pretty much figured out what this so-called "reverse world" is all about.

Of all the people Xu Wang summoned.

He managed to gather intelligence even while fighting monsters.

The human head balloons that appeared near Nancy were clearly created because of Nancy's psychological trauma.

Batman speculates.

If Nancy's psychological trauma can be treated, there's a high probability that the human head balloons outside can be eliminated.

But this thing obviously can't be completed in a short time.

So Batman came up with another idea.

He suddenly looked down at Nancy: "Are you afraid of bats?"

"what?!"

Nancy was puzzled, but also somewhat horrified.

"Feel sorry."

Batman offered no explanation.

He raised his hand and sprayed a diluted dose of fear gas directly at Nancy.

"Pfft——!"

The green poison gas produced by Gotham Scarecrow sprayed onto Nancy's face.

Nancy's gaze toward Batman instantly turned to terror!

Especially after Batman spreads his cape and transforms into a giant bat.

This feeling of fear became even stronger!
"what--!"

Accompanied by Nancy's scream.

The balloons depicting human heads surrounding the outside burst instantly!
They transformed into a huge, ferocious, and terrifying swarm of bats!

Batman turned his head and nodded.

That's enough. While it's impossible to eliminate someone's fear, it's quite simple to change someone's fear in a short period of time.

As for the aftereffects of the fear gas, Batman was much more adept at dealing with them.

After all, the scarecrow was his old rival.

Nancy took out another bottle of antidote from the bat belt and immediately sprayed it on.

Nancy's emotions stabilized at a visible speed.

Nancy is still afraid of bats.

But it's just fear at the level of an ordinary person.

It won't have any impact on her life.

As for the swarm of bloody bats outside, Batman has his own uses for them.

They did not linger inside any longer.

Batman opened the window, jumped onto the windowsill, and walked to the rooftop outside.

Batman was about to leave.

Mike, who idolizes superheroes, rushed forward: "Batman! Do you know Xu Wang?"

The reason for asking this question is mainly because Xu Wang was driving a Batmobile.

Upon hearing the name Xu Wang...

Bruce felt a throbbing headache.

But he still tossed a batarang to Mike as a gift, saying, "He's the one who sent us."

After saying that, Batman activated the ultrasonic transmitter in the sole of his shoe.

For an instant.

The large bats that had sprung from the human head balloons around them immediately became agitated!

A dark, ominous cloud descended and enveloped Bruce.

After the bats dispersed.

The Batman on the rooftop has also disappeared.

This guy actually turned the monsters spawned in Silent Hill into his tools.
