In the Sand Village, the clones are everywhere, and the Arkham game begins

Chapter 181 Batman's Entrustment
"Barbara, I think I know why Jason disappeared."

After interrogating the ventriloquist, Batman fired his grappling gun and shuttled between Gotham's high-rise buildings while communicating with Barbara in the Batcave through channel signals.

"I never thought there was another world. If the Batman in that world was a Batman who didn't have a principle of not killing, then he would definitely be able to trick Jason into it."

"I know, but you also know that the world is very dangerous and is about to swallow up our world. We have to rescue Jason and then close the door connecting the two worlds."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"First, find another person with a dual personality and see what other information we can get."

"Okay, I'll help you search for information about Harvey Dent... I'll use the Bat Monitoring System to perform facial recognition... I found it. A camera captured Harvey Dent going to the Water Building at noon, and he hasn't come out since then!"

……

……

In the Water Building, Shimizu was still listening to Harvey Dent's story about another world.

Or rather, paraphrase.

"That being said, that world is pretty miserable. No matter if they are villains or heroes, anyone who is capable and dares to resist has been killed. Only civilians are left, living in endless fear and despair."

Shimizu said, tapping his fingers on the table.

But isn't saving the world usually something that should be done by heroes or something?
How did you find me?

"You can't just rely on me to solve this matter."

Shimizu said to Harvey Dent.

Harvey Dent followed up:
"I know, I have to drag Batman into this."

"You're right."

At this moment, the incandescent light on the roof flickered a few times and then quickly went out.

"It seems he has arrived."

Qingshui looked up at the rooftop.

Batman had great concealment skills, so he hid on the roof, spraying quick-gel bombs on the ground from a bottle with a bat shape drawn on it.

It’s just that Shimizu can use the transparent world to clearly see Batman’s position and movements.

There is a long-distance projector placed on the roof of the opposite building. It is estimated that Batman will use this long-distance projector to project a shadow over, creating the illusion that Batman is swinging in from the window, and then take the opportunity to blow up the roof and abduct Harvey Dent.

Moreover, he is still wearing the same anti-puppet master suit as last time, but the shape is slightly different and the functions should have been upgraded.

It's just that there is something unknown inside the battle suit. It has a very high density and releases a special electromagnetic field to interfere with the outside world. Even the transparent world formed by Qingshui relying on mental power is affected to a certain extent, and it is not very clear.

Is this design aimed at me or at the guy with the red cape and x-ray eyes in Metropolis next door?

Qingshui didn't know, but if there was no transparent world, he might really be caught off guard.

"Hey! The one upstairs, don't hide! Just come in through the window! There are still a few guards outside this building, just stay outside the door, no need to shoot!"

Qingshui put his hands in front of his mouth and shouted towards the upstairs in a trumpet shape.

In order to ensure that Batman could hear it, he even used his supernatural powers to direct his figure upstairs through air vibrations.

Batman's movements suddenly froze, and he silently swung in through the window. "Cool! A new suit? Is it for me? But to be honest, I thought you would find a more superhero method than landing from the roof. Coming in through the window now doesn't seem interesting enough."

Shimizu crossed his legs on the table and said to Batman.

The latter ignored Qingshui and looked at Harvey Dent.

"It seems that you also met your other self and told Walter."

"Yes, you already know what happened?"

"Before I came to you, I met the ventriloquist."

Harvey Dent then conveyed the words of another Harvey Dent as if he were speaking: "It turns out that guy is not dead either."

At this point, Batman finally turned his gaze towards Shimizu.

"Why are you looking at me? Are you tired of playing with women every day and want to change your taste? Let me tell you, I'm not into that."

"This incident actually has something to do with you."

"How does this have anything to do with me again!"

Qingshui was speechless.

"It has something to do with all of us. The Court of Owls has tried to get rid of me many times, but I defeated them every time and even severely damaged them once."

Batman continued:

"And now there's another you, whom they can't defeat either, so different opinions arise among them, and eventually they split."

Shimizu did not continue asking questions, but gestured for Batman to continue.

"I have been tracking down the Court of Owls these past few days and just discovered this secret."

Harvey Dent interrupted, "No wonder I couldn't find you."

Batman begins to tell another story.

"When Gotham was first established, the Court of Owls was born. Not long after that, in order to control the darkness of Gotham, the Court of Owls offered sacrifices to a certain dark being and prayed for power."

"But as time went on, the more sacrifices were made, the stronger their power became, and the more difficult it was to control. In 1920, Amadeus Arkham's mother became insane due to the influence of this dark power. Amadeus founded Arkham Asylum with the intention of treating his mother, but in the end he was also influenced by this power and killed his mother."

"After the death of his wife and children, and before he went completely insane, Amadeus closed the dark door with his last bit of clear will. At that time, the Court of Owls had already entered a brief period of decline due to civil unrest, and it has never been opened since then."

"Until now, some of them believed that the influence of the dark forces had subsided and that they could open the door again and regain power. However, there was also a group of opponents, so an internal fight broke out. Obviously, the former has won and the latter has lost. The door has been reopened, but the influence has not subsided. Instead, it has fought back again."

The story comes back to the point here.

"So, you came to me with the intention of joining me in charging into the Court of Owls and closing the gates?"

"If you can resist killing anyone."

"Do you think that's possible?"

"So I will go by myself. If I don't come back alive, I hope you can take over from me and continue to fight the crime in Gotham. The other Robins are not yet grown up enough to shoulder this responsibility."
