The Death Knell

Many stories are always born out of loss. Losing a lover, losing innocence, losing freedom, losing youth, losing almost anything can be used to write a story.

The only difference lies in whether the performance of the various skins in these stories affects people's hearts.

If it could, the story would have been played out.

If not, then they will be left in the Kingdom of Dreams, this castle in dreams, sleeping forever on the bookshelf that Sandman will not remember.

But now the cracks in the sky of the Kingdom of Dreams are still there, emptiness has replaced faith, something has been 'lost', but the story of the Kingdom of Dreams is missing.

"So what are we doing here?"

Bobo doesn't like this kind of place very much, because in the dream, there are rabbits wearing vests that can talk, and hedgehogs crossing the road with apples on their backs. Little Red Riding Hood's basket contains an Uzi submachine gun, and Pac-Man, which seems to be made of pixels. People were running around too.

He felt that he looked ordinary here, and people wouldn't even look at him when they saw a talking orangutan.

On Earth, he hated the looks like those visiting rare animals, but here, he was afraid of being ignored or forgotten.

Although he is an orangutan, he has the same problem as humans, that is, he wants to return to the main world right now, and then walk on the street with his head held high, facing the surprised looks from all directions, and say something sweet.

But he couldn't do it, he could only follow Deathstroke and chatter endlessly.

The two and one ape entered the Kingdom of Dreams through hell. The war between angels and devils in that dimension that is always full of sulfur smell is still going on. Fortunately, Maggie is obviously still satisfied with the many videos given to her by Deathstroke last time. She reverse-summoned several people, allowing them to enter hell.

Su Ming threw a cigarette to Bobo behind him, waved hello to the rabbits enjoying tea on the roadside, and said: "The clown provided me with Luther's recent thoughts. The bald man believes that the laughing virus is not only an infectious disease, but also The 'metal' component also has a hypnotic effect, and the source of hypnosis is the words and deeds of the Laughing Bat. If it is hypnosis, we can try our luck in the Kingdom of Dreams. If we can find the corresponding dream, we can at least Rescue Donna and the others."

"Do you believe what the clown said?" Bobo caught the cigarette, lit it and took a puff. His black-haired face wrinkled up, like an old farmer worried about the harvest: "If he really got involved with Luther, Together, I don’t think he can be trusted.”

Harley walked quietly aside with her arms folded. After entering the dreamland, she no longer had to worry about being spied on, and there was no need to continue performing. She seemed much more relaxed.

She didn't understand a lot of what the orangutan and Deathstroke said, so she had no intention of speaking. She was a doctor, but she couldn't cure the world, and she couldn't even cure that person completely.

"Luthor's situation is another matter. I brought in the Thinking Superman to trick Perpetua to death. His worldview must also have been affected. A smart person like him can't go all the way to the dark side, as long as he takes remedial actions. , do you think Superman will kill him? Or Batman will kill him?"

Su Ming also lit a cigarette, looked up at the smiling 'Father Sun' in the sky, but did not feel any warmth on his body. He shook his head and continued:

"But the Joker is the one we least need to doubt. Our purpose is to kill Laughter and save this multiverse. His purpose is to kill Laughter in order to regain the stage between him and Batman. When the interests are consistent, the Joker will definitely I will do my best.”

"But he is a madman." Bobo moved the detective hat on his head, and the beast sighed: "Madman is unpredictable, we must have measures to counter him."

Su Ming nodded and walked quickly along the path in the forest. There was a rustling sound from the bushes on the roadside. A pair of green eyes were hidden in the darkness, but that didn't matter.

"Otherwise, why do you think I would switch Harley and Dr. Quinzel? In order to restrain the Joker without killing him, I was already prepared."

The orangutan knew this would happen. He bared his teeth at the double-eyed owner in the bush, scared away a fox in a tuxedo, and said:

"Okay, as long as you are prepared, I don't want to worry about that."

"Don't worry, my hairy secretary." Su Ming smiled, flicking the ash from his cigarette, walking briskly out of the forest belt, looking at the gorgeous white castle in the distance: "I'm never afraid of lunatics among my allies, I'm just afraid of fools. Madmen represent infinite possibilities, while fools only represent the lower limit of human wisdom and create irreparable consequences."

When the little gorilla heard this, he couldn't help but sigh. He climbed up on Deathstroke's shoulder and squatted there: "I have been dealing with the magic world for decades. I know that our world is a world that only mentally ill people can save. , this is why I am worried, you are obviously not mentally ill."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Su Mingxiao rubbed the monkey's head. The black hair felt very dry, and you could even feel the presence of salt grains. Who knows how long it had been since this orangutan had washed his hair: "But how can you be sure that I'm not good enough?" Crazy? Maybe I’m laughing maniacally deep inside my heart all the time?”

"Hey!" Bobo smiled and shrank his shoulders, and also told a joke: "Then you have the two points of suppressing laughter and darkness. I just need to glue two pointed ears on your head, and then our universe will be saved. ”

"Bat punch warning!" Su Ming knocked the monkey on the head, then stopped smiling and got down to business: "Did you realize something was wrong?"

"Yes, although I am not familiar with the Kingdom of Dreams, I also know that things in dreams should not be black and white, unless it is a near-death dream." Bobo also became serious, and whispered in the ear of Death Knell: " When we came out of the forest, many of the people we saw in the villages were pure white and had no faces.”

Just like the orangutan said, this place has become completely different from the last time Deathstroke came.

A new creature appears in the Land of Dreams.

Their bodies are all white and crude humanoid shapes, like unpainted clothing mannequins in a cupboard, and their facial features are replaced by symbols like @_ @.

These monsters wander the roads and villages like ghosts, but they don't show any aggression.

Judging from the previous reactions of the aborigines in the Land of Dreams, they seemed to get along pretty well, but the population ratio seemed to be completely out of balance, with this newly emerged species accounting for the majority.

They don't speak much, they only repeat some simple words, such as 'work', 'work', 'labor' and the like, in a low voice.

It sounds like nothing in itself, but when hundreds of faceless models gather together and whisper the same words with the same frequency and tone, the scene becomes so weird that it makes people's hair stand on end.

"The Kingdom of Dreams must not collapse. Otherwise, if other stories die, my story will not be able to support a world." Su Ming sighed and took out the God Killer from his pocket: "In this case, I will get a specimen first. , the doctor is going to do an autopsy."
