American comics: Random transformations

Batman, piloting the Batplane, brought Shennong Beast to Gotham General Hospital, the largest and best-equipped medical facility in the city.

While Gotham had its share of skilled individuals, most people preferred coming to the General Hospital! At least they wouldn't have to worry about missing body parts after seeing the doctor. (The skilled individuals in the private hospitals were mostly head surgeons who were skilled at their craft, especially kidney removals, due to the high volume of patients they served. They'd casually remove kidneys while examining patients, so smoothly!)

Shennong Beast perched by the window, turning its head to ask Batman, "Do you want me to heal the people in the hospital?"

Batman nodded, explaining, "Gotham previously suffered a widespread Joker toxin attack. Many people inhaled the toxin and laughed themselves into shock, some with weaker constitutions even suffocating.

I used fear toxin to prevent them from suffocating, but it triggered heart problems in many. Can you heal that?"

"No problem! These are minor issues! With the Shennong Ruler, it's hard to die!"

Seeing their destination had arrived, Shennong Beast suddenly erupted with a brilliant green light. It roared within the light:

"Transform! Shennong Ruler!"

Through Batman's dark lenses, he could see the green crystal monster rapidly changing form in an unscientific manner.

It transformed from a five-foot-tall beast into a six-foot-long… green hockey stick!

It floated in the air, a faint green light shimmering around it, full of mystery! The Omnitrix's hourglass symbol appeared at the base of the handle.

Illuminated by the green light, Batman felt his body warming and itching slightly. He felt the hidden injuries within his body rapidly healing.

Areas that used to ache slightly due to old injuries no longer hurt.

"Amazing power!"

Batman sighed, feeling the lightness in his body.

Even more absurd things were about to happen!

The hockey stick could actually talk! Even though it didn't have a mouth or vocal cords, it could still speak!

"The Shennong Ruler passively releases healing light. The downside is that it can't move! Take me to save people! They'll recover quickly as long as they're exposed to my healing light!"

"Alright!"

Batman decisively grabbed the handle, then jumped out of the plane. His cape transformed into a glider, turning him into a black bat, and he swooshed into the hospital.

Batman's sudden appearance quickly drew a crowd. Two-thirds of the people here had been rescued by Batman, and they stopped to watch.

It wasn't that these citizens were particularly grateful to Batman; they were just curious about what Batman was doing here.

The GCPD officers stationed here jogged over to negotiate with Batman.

Batman: "Where are the people who were in mortal danger before?"

Chubby Officer: "In the emergency room and operating room! What are you going to do, Batman?"

Batman: "Heal them! I brought a special medicine!"

"Oh! That's great! Thank you, Batman!"

Knowing where the people were, Batman headed straight for his destination.

The people around him consciously made way for Batman.

Most people in the hospital were still a little afraid of Batman, while the children looked up to him with admiration.

As for the cool, all-black Batman suit, they were actually more curious about the conspicuous green hockey stick Batman was holding.

The abrupt green clashed with Batman's dark style.

They even started discussing it.

Passerby A: "Hey, what's that green thing? It looks familiar?"

Passerby B: "Idiot, haven't you seen a hockey stick before? Although fluorescent green is rare."

Passerby C: "I didn't expect Batman to love sports so much! He keeps his equipment close at hand!"

Passerby B: "Fool, even if he loves sports, who would carry this around!"

Passerby C said angrily: "F*ck, if you call me an idiot again, I'll f*cking shoot you!"

Passerby B said with a mocking face: "Yo ho! Idiot, idiot, idiot, this is the hospital, if you have the ability, just shoot me! If the doctor can save me, then you have to admit that your marksmanship is trash!"

"Ah!"

Passerby C roared and rushed up, fighting with Passerby B. The commotion of the melee instantly attracted most of the onlookers, and GCPD officers surrounded them to stop the fight.

Batman ignored them. He passed through the hall and three corridors to reach the intensive care unit.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to rush into the emergency room and operating room now. That would only create conflict with the hospital and backfire.

So, he just needed to heal those unstable patients in the intensive care unit first!

That way, even if Batman didn't want to go to the emergency room and operating room, the doctors would invite him in.

Click——, "Squeak——"

The sound of the door opening attracted the attention of the people inside.

"Batman? What are you doing here?"

The patient in bed number three asked suspiciously.

There were twenty-four beds in the intensive care unit, all occupied. They were all protected by various life-support machines. They might die on the spot if they weren't careful.

Not all of the patients in the beds were asleep. Some were in good spirits and chatting.

After seeing Batman come in, the topic of their conversation turned to Batman:

"Cough cough cough, thank you, Batman, otherwise I would have died long ago, although my current situation is not as comfortable as death."

"Yes, thanks to you this time, Gotham's Dark Knight!" Another patient with full body injuries also expressed emotion!

Batman paused, brewing his emotions, and replied: "I have an unscientific treatment here that can cure you. Do you want to try it?"

That patient said with a smile: "Give me a try, my life was saved by you, and I am basically a useless person, so it doesn't matter if I try."

"Okay! The treatment process will be a little itchy!"

Batman raised the Shennong Ruler, and a green light burst out and shone.

The entire intensive care unit was filled with green light.

The people who were originally asleep woke up one after another, and the people who were already awake screamed out in pleasure: "Ah~~!"

The strange screams echoed in the room for nearly three minutes, and the green light was withdrawn into the Shennong Ruler.

Batman knew that the treatment was over, and he turned around and planned to leave.

But those behind him shouted anxiously, "Wait! Wait! Batman, will you sell that stick?! I'll give you all my wealth for it!"

The man who shouted made no attempt to hide the greed in his eyes, and the abundant vitality it offered fascinated him; he was clearly obsessed.

Someone took the lead, and several others who had recovered also showed greedy expressions. They all expressed their willingness to exchange everything they had for that stick.

Where was this? This was the intensive care unit! To put it simply, this was a room where people desperately struggled between life and death!

All of them were people who could die at any time due to their worsening conditions! No one cherished their lives more than they did!

This green stick, in just a few seconds, could pull them back from the brink of death and restore them to health!

"Not for sale!"

Batman replied coldly and walked towards other treatment areas, ignoring the pleas of those behind him.

Batman didn't need more than two minutes in each ward before calmly walking out and moving on to the next room.

In just fifteen minutes, he miraculously healed everyone in the entire hospital.

Terminal cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, muscular atrophy—all those incurable diseases were completely cured by him; he was simply a miracle.

After healing all the patients, Batman ignored the hospital's attempts to keep him and jumped onto his plane.

He was in a hurry to get to the next hospital.

That was Gotham General Hospital, Gotham's second-largest hospital, which was now overcrowded, awaiting Batman's arrival.

While Batman was using the Shennong Ruler to treat people, he called Commissioner Gordon and instructed him to send all the injured citizens they were taking care of to Gotham General.

On the jet, Tian Xiaoban, who had transformed back into the Shennong Beast, complained, "Looks like you're going to be busy next!"

Batman nodded: "Yes, too many people have been affected by the Joker's gas, and you said your transformation time is limited, so we need to hurry!"

"No!"

The Shennong Beast looked at Batman with a strange expression. It thought that this wealthy tycoon shouldn't be so oblivious, right? Didn't he feel the murderous intent of those people?

"That's not the point. The point is, you might be targeted by those rich people next.

The power I've displayed is the obsession that all wealthy people dream of. And outwardly, the person who possesses this magical power is you!

Next, those people will become very crazy for the sake of health."

Batman was silent for a moment and replied:

"You're right! But I thought of this when I brought you out. Batman's identity will indeed encounter trouble, but Bruce Wayne can solve trouble."

The Shennong Beast rolled its eyes, thinking that Batman, this stubborn tsundere, was still playing the 'I have a friend' card.

It complained: "Emmm, okay! Although my healing ability is invincible, I certainly can't cure schizophrenia."

Batman: "…"

Chapter 18 Zatanna and Batman

Gotham General Hospital, amidst everyone's anticipation, welcomed Batman.

Like a large bat, he flew down from the plane, very conspicuous in broad daylight.

"Oh my God, you're finally here! Where's the special medicine you mentioned?"

Commissioner Gordon excitedly stepped forward, wanting to find the special medicine Batman mentioned.

As a result, he circled Batman and didn't find any medicine boxes.

"Where's the medicine!? Don't tell me you tricked me!" Gordon felt that Batman wouldn't make such a bad joke.

Batman raised the green ice hockey stick he was holding in his right hand.

"?"

Gordon's expression was very interesting, as if to say, 'Are you kidding me?'

"Wait! This is… your special medicine? This joke isn't funny, Batman!"

The other police officers also showed unfriendly expressions. They had worked hard to bring that group of people here, not to watch a joke.

Batman didn't speak, raising his right hand. The Shennong Ruler cooperated by releasing green light, and the healing rays shone on everyone present.

Those police officers who were somewhat irritable due to fatigue gradually had their fierce eyes clear up under the conditioning of the green light.

A minute later, the healing rays began to dim.

"It's amazing, the headache from staying up late is gone. This thing really can heal! Incredible!"

Gordon felt very good at the moment! His body was more relaxed than ever before. His body, which had been numb from working for a long time, had regained its vitality, making him at least ten years younger.

Now, filled with strength, he felt he could take on the Joker one-on-one and beat him to a pulp.

"Alright, Gordon, don't waste time. Gather those patients with serious conditions, and I'll treat them. This thing in my hand has a time limit!"

"Ah? Oh!! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Everyone move!" Gordon shouted to his colleagues, telling them to do as Batman said.

However, his eyes kept glancing at that green ice hockey stick.

Batman: "Stop looking, Gordon. This is a magic item. When the time is up, the magic on it will be invalid. When that happens, your police department needs to issue a notice to tell them about it!"

"Ah? Magic item?! This… does magic really exist? Is it a good idea to tell the citizens directly?"

Gordon was still thinking more. He felt that the citizens of Gotham shouldn't know that there were such outrageous things as magic items in the world.

"Tell them the truth. Whether they believe it or not is their business."

… … … …

The patients all came to the hospital lobby. Most of them were listless, and there were still a bunch lying on beds.

Batman didn't dawdle and raised the Shennong Ruler high.

The intense green light erupted again, instantly illuminating the entire lobby.

The healing rays healed bodies, smoothed pain, and allowed everyone present to feel reborn at this moment, like a miracle!
