The Knights of the DC House

In the alley, Conan and Ke Xue looked at the clown walking out of the darkness, and they were also alert.

There is no way, the shadow of the famous tree, in their branch future, the clown is considered to be an important figure in the event that led to the branch future, and Ke Wen from the two branch futures also told them about the scary things about clowns.

. He is a fragile human being. Even if he has the Dionysus factor, it is not difficult to kill him. What is difficult is to crush the clown's ideas. When you kill the clown in the clown's way, you are invisibly validating the clown.

words.

It only takes one bad day for you to become the next chaotic and disorderly clown. The more powerful the fallen person is, the more terrifying the disasters they create. Invisibly, a dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon.

An endless cycle. Looking at the expressions of Conan and Ke Xue as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the clown who came out of the darkness was also laughing.

"Hahaha, great. It seems that you know me and understand me. Well, I smell a familiar scent on you. Let me think about who it is." The clown pretended to think there, and Conan also

He immediately protected Ke Xue behind him and looked at the clown.

"Tell me, tell me the purpose of your appearance in front of us while you can still speak. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether you will be able to speak later. Killing you can't do it, but let you be honest for a while and pay attention.

It's not impossible to give it to the Justice League or Teen Titans."

"Oh! It means you won't kill me. Well, that's great. I know who you look like. Like the one who comes out to bother me every time when Batboy and I are having fun, and also makes Batboy

What's the name of the guy who ignored me? Oh, the Masked Rider."

When he heard that the clown was rude and insulting his father, Conan couldn't help it. He flew forward and pressed the clown against the wall. He pressed the clown's face with one hand and his eyes were glowing red.

, the clown’s collar and cheeks also began to smoke.

"Don't try to challenge my patience there, clown! Tell me the purpose of your coming, and even say half a nonsense, I hope you can keep smiling in the future!"

After all, it is the new generation who came from the Apokolips War branch of the future, and Ke Xue and Ke Xue are harmonious, and the jokes made Ke Xue, the relatively peaceful new generation from another branch of the future, have misconceptions about their elder brother, thinking that his character

He is so easy-going. He may have grown up in the war era of blood and fire, and as a character that Apokolips needs to deal with seriously, Conan's tyranny is no worse than those of the new gods of Apokolips.

Originally a humanoid Doomsday who could go berserk at any time, when the Joker insulted his father over and over again and kept showing off his presence, Conan's temper, which he had finally suppressed in this normal timeline, flared up again.

Feeling the heat vision burning on his face, the clown was still smiling, but he also took out a batarang from his pocket and dangled it in front of Conan. Looking at the batarang that the clown took out from his pocket, Conan felt hot.

His eyes slowly faded, and he took it away from the clown and threw it to Ke Xue behind him.

The moment he took the batarang, such a picture appeared in Ke Xue's mind.

A shirtless Bruce Wayne was hung in a dark cave, surrounded by endless bats. At the same time, there were countless voices echoing in the cave, and these voices only consisted of one word: Batman.

"Batman?!"

He was shocked by the scene in his mind, because it gave Ke Xue the feeling that he was standing in front of Batman just now, feeling everything Batman felt from a third-person perspective. After Ke Xue said Batman's words, he also let go

He hit the batarang and staggered.

"Batman? What are you talking about?" Holding the Joker down with one hand, Conan looked at his brother's appearance and wondered.

"It's Batman. This is the batarang used by Batman. I felt Batman on it. He was in a very strange place. It was a cave. It looked like a batcave, but there were always sounds around him.

Batman's voice is echoing, so I can't judge the location." After enduring the mental shock of the scene he just perceived, Ke Xue also answered there.

After listening to Ke Xue's words, Conan turned to look at the clown who was pressed against the wall, and slowly released his hand.

The clown who fell from the wall ignored his face that was burned by Conan, shook his neck, and then commented: "Well, what a rude kid, but since he has the same purpose as you,

Uncle Jock will forgive you." The clown was talking to himself, while Conan and Ke Xue stood side by side looking at the clown. After a moment of silence, Conan asked.

"Where did you get it? Do you know where Batman is kept?"

"Well, that's an interesting question. If Uncle Jock knows where Batboy is, then why did Uncle Jock share the news with you. So now Uncle Jock can't find Batboy, and you seem to be coming from far away.

The kids from other places are also looking for Batboy, so why doesn’t Uncle Jock look for him with you?"

"So why should we look for it with you?"

"Because no one except Uncle Jock and I know where Batboy is being held, but Uncle Jock can't get in and can't find it."

Hearing this, Conan and Ke Xue looked at each other. Ke Xue, who had just sensed Batman's situation, couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it in the Batcave? The picture I saw looks very much like the Batcave."

"Batcave?"

When he heard Ke Xue talking about the Bat Cave, the clown also laughed there and said: "Now I know why I can't find the Bat Boy." He stood up elegantly and wiped the dirt on his body. Conan had just used it

The face burned by the heat vision had completely recovered, and he walked towards the dark alley. When he was about to step into the darkness, the clown turned to look at the two brothers Conan and Ke Xue, and said there.

"If you want to find Batboy, well, just follow me. Uncle Jock will let you see the real Gotham, which is Uncle Jock's home~"

With that said, the clown disappeared into the darkness. As the clown disappeared, in the perception of Conan and Ke Xue, the clown disappeared in front of them. How is this possible? But when I think of what the clown said just now,

words, the real Gotham. When the two were suspicious, they also saw determination in each other's eyes. Without saying anything, they followed the clown. As they stepped forward, the next second, they also followed the clown.

The same thing disappeared in this alley.

What Conan and Ke Xue didn't know was that the alley they were in was originally called Crime Alley. On this night thirty years ago, with the sound of two gunshots, it became the beginning of all tragedies and disasters.

Similarly, when Ke Xue and Conan disappeared into Crime Alley, Ke Wen, who was somewhere in Gotham and came out of Wayne Manor, and who was basically already known as Thomas Wayne, was also affected. He left Wayne Manor.

Finally, Ke Wen also knew that the top priority was to find Batman, so he reluctantly activated the Earth Library skill again in Gotham.

With the certification of the Spirit of Existence, Ke Wen can say that as long as he stands on the earth, he can know most of the things happening on the earth at this time. After all, the Spirit of Existence is not omnipotent, especially after some cities have their own wills.

Ke Wen, who is certified by the Spirit of Existence, will at most become more friendly when kicked out by these city wills, from kicking to asking.

And Gotham is one of them.

Ke Wen also opened an abridged version of the regional library in Gotham before, but as soon as he opened it, he was almost beaten by the crazy and chaotic will of Gotham city, and was violently kicked out. Since then,

Since then, Ke Wen has not activated this skill in the city of Gotham. Even if it is later upgraded to a planetary library, he will subconsciously avoid this city. Of course, if it is targeting a certain street or block, then

Ke Wen is still fine.

It's just that this time, it's impossible to find Batman in a certain neighborhood or a certain street. He can only do it again. He also wants to know whether he can still cope with the madness and chaos of Gotham City now.

The regional library is opened. Just as Ke Wen thought, under the earth of this city, there is still that crazy and disordered will that immediately impacts Ke Wen, an uninvited guest who has entered his territory.

.

Mountains of will came over, trying to drive Ke Wen, the uninvited guest, crazy, but now Ke Wen is no longer the rookie knight. Even if he has been deprived of the power of Omega and the New God, he has obtained his true name.

To a certain extent, he is also a part of the DC multiverse reboot cycle. Another origin, a mere crazy will, can withstand it.

In Ke Wen's spiritual world, there is also a Gotham City, a chaotic Gotham City. Robberies, thefts, and even fights occur on the streets from time to time. The passing citizens either scream and passively accept

For this kind of robbery and theft, you either take out a gun from your pocket and fight back unwilling to be outdone. As the police of this city, they are either there in front of the crowd and act like passers-by who didn't see anything during the whole process, or

Just there waving flags and shouting, saying all kinds of sarcastic things.

I was really bored. I saw some girls who happened to be standing on the street. After giving them a look, the two of them walked to the alley on the other side and did things that they both understood. The interesting part is,

There were more than just two people there.

Looking at this Gotham unfolding in the sea of ​​his consciousness, Ke Wen could only think of one word to describe it, and that was the City of Demons.

And in the night sky of this demonic Gotham, there is also a figure standing on the gargoyle building, overlooking everything, and then disappears without a trace. That is Batman, but this man has spent his life trying to change Gotham from evil.

The Dark Knight, who was brought back from the abyss of corruption, was unmoved by all this in the end. In other words, he had been trying to change, but in the end he couldn't change anything.

Seeing everything displayed by the crazy will hidden under the city of Gotham, Ke Wen was also shocked.

It is true that everything here is a portrayal of Gotham, but that was the Gotham of the past. In the Gotham before Batman appeared, the Gotham at that time may have been more exaggerated than this. But after Batman appeared, although

There is also such a situation, but I don't know how much better it was before. Not to mention, the new Gotham City is now very orderly. Both the judiciary and law enforcement, including the municipal administration, have a new look. No matter how strong the will is.

Crazy, this scene shouldn't happen.

In Ke Wen's opinion, in a new Gotham City that is waiting to be revitalized, that kind of vigorous spirit can suppress the arrogance of this chaotic will, but what he sees is telling Ke Wen

Wen, it's because he thinks too much.

Just when Ke Wen was surprised by the sights he saw, this crazy, chaotic city will also noticed that it could not kick Ke Wen away immediately. The next moment, they were fighting on the street just now, doing whatever they wanted.

The passers-by, policemen, and robbers who were minding their own business stopped what they were doing, and all stood there, staring at Ke Wen, the alien who broke into the Devil's City.

"OK, now I'm an alien."

"This city belongs to me!!!"

From the mouths of these citizens, gangsters, and policemen, they all said such a sentence, and then they rushed towards Ke Wen like crazy demons. Faced with such a situation, Ke Wen ran away, although it was not clear

What is all this going on? But now if he wants to find Batman, he must find clues in this crazy, disordered city. The longer he stays here, the bigger the clues he can find about Batman.

As for transformation, please, this is the spiritual world connected by his will to the city of Gotham. Transformation is of no use. Wait a minute? Ke Wen, who was running wildly on the street, also came back to his senses.

.

"Damn it, if you bullied me when I was a noob, and if you still bullied me when I wasn't a noob, then wouldn't I have suffered so much for nothing?"

Thinking of this, Ke Wen also braked suddenly, turned around to face these citizens who were reflected by the will of this city, gave a ferocious smile, and as a searchlight passed by, Ke Wen who was standing in front of them disappeared, replaced by a

A weirdo whose whole body is wrapped in red reinforced muscles.

With a wave of the sharp claws on his hand, a group of citizens in the front row were cut into several sections on the spot. The body parts were scattered on the ground along with blood. The splash of blood also made the citizens in front of them, who were reflected by the city's will, all stunned.

"Now, let's see what the real devil is like, Amazon!"

As Ke Wen roared, a red shock wave was released from his body. The high temperature instantly turned the road into scorched earth. These crazy citizens were also directly evaporated in half under Ke Wen's AOE skill. In an instant, the building

Covered in flames, the road turned into scorched earth, and the surviving citizens, like the former Gotham citizens, bullied the weak and feared the strong, and began to flee for their lives.

And Ke Wen walked on the scorched earth, his red posture bathed in the firelight, like a demon born from the fire.

With the villain's trademark maniacal laugh, Ke Wen was also driving the fleeing citizens like sheep. Anyway, if you want to play, play bigger. He actually wants to see this crazy, disordered man from Gotham.

What surprises will Gotham reflected by the will of the city bring him?

In this demonic city shaped by the will of Gotham City, Ke Wenhua, as the Alpha Amazon, destroys everything he sees at will. Whether it is the projection of normal residents or crazy ones, as long as it appears in Ke Wen

In front of Wen, he killed him. Obviously, Ke Wen's sudden backhand stunned the city's will to shape this demonic city for a long time.

He didn't expect that there were people who not only didn't want to be kicked out by him, but also smashed, looted and killed in their own world. Hey, you got it right, I'm the boss!

After being attacked, the city's will also began to fight back, and the entire Gotham City shaped by him began to shake. However, this kind of natural disaster was not lethal to Ke Wen. Soon, in

A group of old faces also appeared on the streets. They were the villains who once dominated Gotham, the same guys who had been trained in Arkham Asylum.

Penguin, Black Mask, Crocodile Man, Two-Face, Poison Ivy... these guys who were born in the environment of Gotham City also attacked Ke Wen in their own way. It's just that ordinary people like this are organized,

In other words, an attack with a bit of super power is no different to Ke Wen, it is just an additional question for him to destroy the city.

In this spiritual world, he doesn't have to stick to the constraints of reality and lets go of killing.

But while killing, he was also trying to stay awake as much as possible. He did not forget the reason why he was killing here. So he mostly drove these guys who were born from the will of Gotham City on the streets.

Fleeing, he was also shouting loudly.

"What's wrong, is this your trick? That's it? It doesn't work, my friend. If that's the case, then I will completely destroy the city you created. Anyway, you are crazy and disordered, so it shouldn't be

If you mind being a little crazier, the difference won’t be big.”

Ke Wen was shouting there, stimulating the will of the city that has not yet revealed its true face.

Soon, Gotham City, which had been destroyed by Ke Wen just now, became quiet. This kind of silence was very strange. The city was obviously burning and people were fleeing, but there was no sound. It seemed that after Ke Wen shouted, this reason

Gotham City, shaped by Gotham City Will, was pressed to a standstill, with only Ke Wen active.

"Bat...Man." Just as Ke Wen was waiting for Gotham City's will to respond, a voice suddenly came from the quiet citizens below, talking about Batman.

It's not just one person saying it, two, three, thousands or hundreds of them. Wherever Ke Wen can see or not see, these citizens projected by the will of Gotham City are all talking about bats.

The hero is talking about everything about Batman.

"Batman will kill you!"

"If I were Batman, you would be dead."

"Batman is the guardian of this city, and he is coming to find you!"

Various words with the word "Batman" rang out, leaving Ke Wen confused. Could it be that in their minds, Batman, who has dedicated his life to fighting crime and preventing Gotham from sliding into the abyss, would be on their side? Standing.

On this group of hopeless guys? Ke Wen couldn't understand, but the change he was waiting for also came. In the dark Gotham City, as a thunder and lightning pierced the night sky, the darkness guarding Gotham

The knight was also standing on the tall building, his cloak rustling behind his back.

Under the light of thunder and lightning, the dark knight who obeyed people's calls also rushed towards him. Looking at the face flashing in the lightning, Ke Wen was also shocked. Because he lost the opportunity,

He was also hit by the Batman in front of him and fell towards the ground. But there was also a smile on his grinning lips.

"I see···"

With Ke Wen's words, Ke Wen's consciousness projection also disappeared from the Gotham City shaped by the will of Gotham City and returned to reality.

In the real world, consciousness returned, and Ke Wen also sat down on the ground, stood up, and walked to the edge. Looking at the busy streets below and the pedestrians coming and going, Ke Wen was sure that he had returned to the new Gotham City in reality.

Shaking his head, he suppressed the feeling of killing himself in the conscious world just now, took a deep breath, and Ke Wen smiled.

"I asked why I haven't been able to find you. If that's the case, I can't find you. But fortunately, I have a special way to enter. Let's start the second round."

As he said that, he raised his hand, and Ke Wen's right hand also changed, transforming into the hand of greed again. That was the hand that he had exchanged by the system during the Darkseid Godhead War event, and it came from Kamen Rider.

OOO, as one of the protagonists, the right hand of the weirdo leader Ankh. It has only one function. It takes out the coins formed by its core power from a powerful life form and uses it to transform.

Or, through the derived ordinary desire cell coins, the desire in the heart of the selected target can be embodied.

However, this time, Ke Wenxuan's goal is a bit big, and it is not to materialize his desire. On the contrary, he wants to go to the world where the target desire was born.

A desire cell coin appeared in Ke Wen's hand and turned over in Ke Wen's palm. Ke Wen also looked at the desire cell coin and talked to himself.

"After all, my imagination is limited. Who would have thought that when a city gives birth to its own will, its essence can also be regarded as a life. It is a life, and it naturally has desires. But compared to my hand,

How did they get you in? Let me find out the truth."

As he spoke, the desire cell coin also fell from his hand and rolled on the ground. On the concrete floor, a coin slot appeared out of thin air. As the desire cell coin was put in, in front of Ke Wen, a strange

The highway appeared, a familiar yet unfamiliar highway. I said it was familiar because Ke Wen had seen it before. It was the interstate highway leading from the outside world to Gotham. A Gotham Road sign hung beside it. It was unfamiliar because it appeared in the road.

It’s ridiculous to be in mid-air!

"Ah, this is the so-called toll. Fortunately, I have more money."

After complaining, Ke Wen also stepped directly onto the road that appeared in mid-air. As he stepped in, the next second, he disappeared from the roof. In Wayne Manor, he was taking a nap in the study.

Thomas Wayne also sensed Cowen's body immediately when he disappeared into Gotham.

"Oh, have you noticed? As expected of you, my dear, go and greet our guests~"

In the Batcave, Martha the Clown, who was locked in a transparent room, also laughed horribly at this moment.

"My dear Bruce, my mother brought her friends to see you~"

With that said, just like shedding a shell, a brand new clown monster emerged from Martha the Clown's body, leaving behind a shell of Martha the Clown to hide from others, while she disappeared into the darkness with laughter.

Just when Ke Wen disappeared from Gotham City, the two brothers Conan and Ke Xue, who had met the Joker before, also followed the Joker and submerged into the darkness. Following the Joker's footsteps, the two brothers also found themselves interacting with each other after entering the darkness.

The connection with the outside world, that is, Gotham, was cut off, and in the darkness, a gray, floating wall also appeared in front of them. When they saw this wall, the two brothers were also stunned.

"This..." The reason why they were stunned was because they knew this thing. Conan was because this thing came to the future of Ke Xue's branch, and they also understood from the words of their fathers that this was a skill that belonged to their father.

A dimensional wall that can freely travel through various worlds.

They just didn't understand why the dimensional wall appeared here. They looked at the clown, who also leaned against the dimensional wall, looked at the two brothers and said: "Please, after all, I have played so many games with your father.

Game, although he is the second guy to make me angry after Batboy, he is indeed a good opponent. If you are really his children, you should know how much fun I had playing with him last time, including these cool things.

He has dazzling skills, and so do I."

"Do you know who we are?"

As soon as they finished speaking, Conan and Ke Xue saw an idiotic expression on the clown's face. Although it was strange to say that, but being regarded as an idiot by the clown, even though Conan had experienced many battles, his face was a little uneasy.

"I'm just regarded as a madman by you, not a fool. Why do you ask about such an obvious thing? The future saves the past. Hollywood often shoots this."

A precise complaint made Conan and Ke Xue silent. Ke Xue, the son of the savior Ke Wen and Lena, subconsciously stepped forward and touched the dimensional wall. His hand could sink in, but the clown could only lean against it.

You can't go any further there.

"Can you use it? No, that's the ability left in you after the battle between father and you, so you can summon it, but there is no way to enter. Are we the ticket? Batman is blocked by this dimensional wall.

Towards a world?”

"Oh! Smart boy, I will reward you with a big red flower!" The clown took out the cheering stick from his pocket and said pretendingly.

"What world does this wall lead to?" Conan on the side also asked.

"Instead of asking me, why don't you go in and take a look yourself? Exploring the unknown in person is the best thing."

The two brothers nodded, raised their legs, and dived into the dimensional wall. The clown followed them and entered the dimensional wall together. As Ke Xue said just now, the two of them were tickets, and they came with the tickets.

The clown is naturally qualified to enter.

The three of them submerged into the dimensional wall together, and after a burst of chaotic light, a whole new world appeared in front of them.

"This is... Gotham City?" Conan and Ke Xue subconsciously said as they walked out of the alley and looked at the city layout outside.

What they saw before their eyes was indeed Gotham City, a Gotham City that never had day or night.

With a muffled thunder, dense raindrops fell, people were passing by in a hurry on the street, and the vehicles were rushing as if their homes were on fire. From time to time, the rainwater splashed on the passing pedestrians, and they left with a burst of greetings.

For some people, this kind of weather is good weather. Just when Conan and Ke Xue were unfamiliar with all this, a scream also attracted their attention.

A woman returning home was being robbed. The robber tried to pull her into an alley, apparently wanting to do something other than robbery.

Immediately afterwards, the culprit was picked up, thrown away casually, and flew into the alley, where he fell unconscious. Ke Xue, who acted bravely, also expressed concern: "Madam, are you okay? Let's see if there is any money."

"Oh, I'm fine, how much does it cost?" The frightened urban OL calmed down and responded, but the next sentence made Ke Xue confused.

"Ah? What did you say?"

"Don't you want money? I'll give it to you." She packed her bag and looked at Ke Xue's confused eyes. The lady also took a matter-of-fact tone and just glanced at Ke Xue, thought for a moment, and

Then he said: "It doesn't cost money, that's fine. Should I go to your house or mine?"

"···You are welcome."

Ke Xue, who didn't understand the brain circuit of the lady in front of him at all, was confused. After replying, he turned and left. The lady also walked in the other direction. Ke Xue looked at his brother with a confused look on his face.

.

"This is Gotham? Have we traveled through time?" Conan didn't answer, because he didn't understand what situation they were in now. This is Gotham. Conan could see the new Gotham City where they were just now.

The corresponding landmark building is a newly built Gotham Windmill Tower.

But the climate and folk customs here cannot be compared with the new Gotham just now.

"Ah, it feels so good to be home. This is the Gotham I remember~"

The clown who also walked out of the crime alley looked at what happened to Ke Xue just now and sighed with emotion. At the same time, he was still breathing in the air with a relaxed look on his face.

"what is going on!"

"As you can see, this is Gotham, the Gotham of the past. Before your father came, Batboy and I had been playing in Gotham City."

"Then why are we here? If we hadn't traveled through time, the Gotham here would be completely different from the new Gotham City we were in before!" Ke Xue on the side also wondered.

"Is it really completely different? Look around you, look at this city, and then answer me."

After the Joker said this, the two brothers stood there, scanning the surroundings, looking at the people walking under the night rain, and began to compare it with the new Gotham City where they were before. The more they compared it, the more they felt at ease.

Surprised, because as the Joker said, this is the new Gotham City. Whether it is passers-by or buildings, they can find corresponding memories in their previous search for Batman in the new Gotham City.

If this was the Gotham City of the past, with so many people coming and going, there would always be new faces, but they found familiar faces among these pedestrians, especially since they were in the Crime Alley of the new Gotham City just now.

, the surrounding shops have not changed, and some customers are also there, but in this Gotham City, they are not polite and follow the rules, they are always arguing, bargaining, and even getting physical.

"What is going on with all this..." Looking at this scene, Conan and Ke Xue didn't know how to explain all this. These have never happened in their branch of the future. Ke Wen and them

Mentioned it before.

"What's going on? This is a good explanation. This is Gotham, the real Gotham."

"Speak clearly."

"As I said just now, look at these people. If it weren't for your father causing trouble every day, this place would always be a playground for me and Batboy. We can go around and play games around these people. But.

When your father came, everything changed. The old buildings were torn down, those who once stood high died in the incident, new people came to power, and everything seemed to start again.

The people here seem to have adapted to this new life, but deep down in their hearts, they are still living as citizens of Gotham. They are bound by the law, but they are always thinking in their hearts about what they could have done.

He can rob and steal, instead of working nine to five every day and becoming a screw in the machine. They want to return to Gotham, where Batboy and I are the only playground, to unlock

constraints on oneself.

They recall everything in the past and miss the past. These desires hidden in their hearts constitute this city. This is a new Gotham City, but the people living here are still the people of the past. Gentlemen,

Welcome to Gotham of Desire~"

The clown looked at Conan and the Ke Xue brothers with indescribable evil expressions.

At the same time, Ke Wen, who entered Gotham of Desire through another way, also immediately understood the reason why this city was created, and also understood why Batman could not be found. Because he was attracted by the people of Gotham City.

Although under control, they still wanted to return to the Gotham era when Batman was a terror that towered over them, so they imprisoned him in the darkness of the human heart and let him sink there forever.

It's just that Ke Wen didn't understand how the Waynes did it, what methods they used to lock Batman here, and why they blew themselves up and stayed in Gotham City just to find Batman.

Are you sure that you and Batman will be trapped here forever?

"Tsk, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. After all the hard work, in the end, it's just a faggot. Do you just want to stay in the past?"

Looking at the citizens who exposed their inner thoughts without reservation in this Gotham City of Desire, Ke Wen felt disappointed and tired. In the end, he still did nothing, right?
