The Death Knell

"There's still a problem with the timeline."

In the dim light of the fire, Deathstroke was the first to speak. He looked at Jason, who had an old look on his face, and lamented where his youth and years had flowed into the gutter:

"You may not know about the 'lost decade', but in fact, Doctor Manhattan does have the ability to make the world lose time, so so can blank space."

Looking back now, the lost ten years should be the process used by the Blue Man to restart the multiverse. Except for Barry, who was trapped in the Speed ​​Force plane and could not get out, only Batman and Su Ming were involved in this matter. You know it yourself.

Furthermore, Su Ming seemed to have lost more than ten years, perhaps more.

"Actually, I know, Batman told the Joker, and the Joker later told me."

The hunchbacked Jason scratched his hair. His appetite was not bad, but the biggest problem was that there were not many teeth left, so eating was a bit slow, all because of the grinding of his gums. At the same time, it became more difficult to speak. :

"When the Laughing Bat 'upgraded' himself and used Manhabat's body to become the Black Knight, the Joker was also preparing his own joke. He told that story before he died, but I don't know what the decade represents. What are you wearing?"

When mentioning this in ten years, the song "Ten years later, we will be friends and we can still say hello" will automatically sound in Su Ming's mind. But obviously, even if there are "thousands of doorways", It has nothing to do with the matter at hand.

After putting aside the useless information that popped up in his mind, his focus fell on Manha Bat.

As the name suggests, Manhabat is a Doctor Manhattan version of Batman, created by the Laughing Bat from his own Laughing Universe. He has all the abilities of the blue man, but is a vegetable without self-awareness.

He has never appeared on the battlefield, that is, there is no record of fighting against Zhenglian. The value of his existence is just as a backup body for the Laughing Bat.

This point, in the timeline that Su Ming and everyone experienced, is also the same as that of old Jason.

When Su Ming and Batman sneaked into Laughing's Fortress and learned about the Manha Bat, they came up with the tactics against the Black Knight. At that time, although it was strange how Laughing could create a Doctor Manhattan Batman, But since Blue Man is a God created by humans, he didn’t think much about it.

But now that the Blank incident has occurred, Su Ming will inevitably look at the past problems from a different perspective. Could it be that the appearance of Manha Bat at that time was Blank's covert intervention?

Just like what Loki reported not long ago, there was a blank shadow behind Ragnarok, and she also created an Ice King.

So in my previous battles, were there things that didn't make sense as well, or did I intervene in vain?

If you think about it for a moment, there are a lot of things that are suspicious.

For example, in the betrayal of the Upside Down, the two parties clearly have an agreement. The white-scaled monster also likes the Deadpool figure. Everyone can obviously cooperate happily to make profits, just like the cooperation model between Marvel's spokesperson and the devil.

But suddenly one day, the Upside Down seemed to have a swollen mentality. He turned away as if he had rabies, although he thought it was because he wanted more benefits and was dissatisfied with the benefit distribution agreement.

But he is the embodiment of the concept of witchcraft, so he can't communicate directly with all the wizards in the universe, right? Then don't we need to find a spokesperson?

Although it was locked up in the complex in the end, it is now used as one of the backup energy sources to power Sepurk and at the same time stabilize the magic circuit of the DC universe. It was Su Ming who won.

But there may be some problem behind this matter.

For another example, Merlin was resurrected. He was poisoned and stabbed in the back by Madam Xanadu, and was secretly buried by King Arthur. How did this ancient man come back to life?

After being alive, you still run like crazy to find the tokens of the ancients, intending to 'open the door'. Isn't this crazy?

There is also the matter of Uncle Da. Obviously, at the earliest, he could stay in Sepurk and just play mahjong with Deathstroke and the Monitor every day. There was no need to go to the opposite side.

But in the end he left one day, and later seemed to have never thought of any other solution, insisting on fighting to the death.

Thinking of this, Su Ming didn't want to think about it in detail, because as long as he was suspicious, he would feel that there was a shadow of blankness behind everything, but this was impossible. He couldn't decide what to eat for dinner, blankness was interfering. Bar?

Belonging to yourself scares yourself, blank space is not so flexible, and it is not so leisurely.

She may take action at some critical moments, trying to change the course of time and deflect the story towards the timeline of the current elderly Jason, but if she fails, she will not rush for a while, but will continue to shrink into the void. Hidden so that no one can find it.

"So, what exactly is Manhabat?" Diana was still curious about this name, which was a bit unfamiliar to her.

So Su Ming temporarily stopped those endless reflections and relived the events behind that battle for the three ladies, such as how the Laughing Bat became the Black Knight, and what happened in another multiverse a long time ago. The origin story of Dr. Manhattan.

After everyone learned that the birth of Dr. Manhattan was actually an experimental accident, everyone quickly realized that there was something wrong with the fact that the Laughing Bat could create Manhabat.

Experience can be replicated, but accidents cannot be replicated unless...unless time repeats itself.

But the Laughing Bat doesn't have that ability, and he won't have it until his death. The other crazy Batmans won't have it after the Red Death dies.

"Okay, don't think blindly for now, and be ready to adapt to circumstances." Su Ming handed the assorted vegetable skewers to Jason, patted him on the shoulder, and glanced at everyone's faces: "Smile while eating. Eat well and stay in a happy mood is the magic weapon to stay young.”

Su Ming learned this principle from "The Lonely Gourmet". Whether it is true or not is another matter.

Anyway, the 'law of true fragrance' that prevails in all major universes is summarized by people while eating, which means that eating is really important, at least for humans, and it is also very important for people who want to be human. important.

"I agree with this, hee hee." Harley touched her belly. She looked at Jason eating and the red oil hot pot that was boiling again. She was a little greedy, but she couldn't finish the previous meal. Shao, I really can’t eat anymore now.

But this didn't stop her from continuing to laugh. As long as Little Bee was by her side, she had nothing to fear.

"It's a pity. I originally came to you because I thought you could provide some information about the current timeline." Su Ming cut some canned luncheon meat into the hot pot and looked at Jason's old face: "But no matter how you have amnesia, What happened has messed up my arrangements, and now I have to use a backup plan. Eat quickly, and we will hit the road together after eating."

"As we get older, we lose too many teeth and we really can't get up quickly." Jason answered vaguely with a pile of food in his mouth.

"Oh, I really can't do anything about you, but who told me to always respect the old and care for the young? Wait, I will get some materials to make a pair of dentures for you." After that, Su Ming stood up and left the little warehouse, walking towards the huge pile of corpses in the corner of the front hall
