Chapter 2378: Psychic Assault (Twenty-Six)
Chapter 2371 Psychic Assault (Twenty-six)
Under the physical attack of the two Batmans, Constantine quickly woke up, but just like the male version of her in other universes, she was not much better after waking up, and most of the sanity she regained was lost. For staring at a male and female Batman and doing some purely artistic appreciation.
It wasn't until Batwoman hammered the table hard that she woke up Constantine. She wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, but your uniform is really... unisex."
"Let's get down to business." Batwoman's murderous intent was almost overflowing from her eyes.
"Oh, Dr. Suoship, right? I've heard some rumors about him, but don't really expect him to be just an ordinary doctor. There is no fuel-efficient lamp in All Souls College."
"What the hell is that place?"
"Simply put, it is the highest research institute in the world of mysticism. According to ordinary people's understanding, it is probably equivalent to the honorary research institute in the best university. It does not recruit ordinary students. Basically, only scholars who have been famous for a long time and really have two skills can do it. Join it."
"So what is this mysterious Dr. Soship up to?"
"I don't know the specifics. I can't get along with those pure theoretical groups. You know, I'm a wild person." Constantine shrugged, lowered his head to light the cigarette, and after taking a puff of smoke, he said with some emotion: "I haven't been back to the UK for a long time. I don't know what the situation is like there now, but it's probably going to end just like this universe."
The two Batmans looked at each other, and Batwoman was about to raise her fists again. Batman stopped her, called out the bartender who was hiding behind the counter, and said, "Give her a tequila, please."
"Hey, handsome guy, you want to bribe me so quickly." Constantine leaned towards Batman, showed a big smile and said: "Don't be so anxious, we can have a good talk later in the evening."
Batwoman was about to roll her eyes when Constantine leaned towards her again and said, "I mean us together."
The next second her head was pressed on the bar table, and Batwoman said one word at a time: "Say the right thing!"
Constantine rubbed his neck, shook his sore shoulders, picked up the cigarette, took a puff and said, "Okay, I know you guys must have something important to do with him, but there's something weird about that place. Normal people can’t get in.”
"What's weird?"
"To put it simply, it is a rift in time and space. The building you see at All Souls College is located now, but every room you walk into is in a different era. This is to prevent those precious research materials from being lost somewhere. All destroyed in a certain disaster of the era.”
"So how do we find Dr. Soship?"
"Usually if an ordinary magician wants to enter All Souls Academy to search for information, we need to send a letter first. After getting permission, along with the reply, you will hear that All Souls Academy will not ring the bell since 1963. of midnight.”
"At this time, when you come to what is now All Souls College, Oxford, you will see the lights on in the room of the person who invited you, enter the door and go up the stairs, open the door and enter the room you want to enter."
"Do you have any friends who could invite us?"
Constantine shook his head and said: "You can only enter the room of the person who invited you. The other rooms will be hidden in the historical fragments and cannot be touched."
"You said you were an ordinary magician, but you are obviously not that ordinary." Batman said.
"Good vision." Constantine snapped his fingers and said, "Looking at your situation, it's definitely too late to go in through regular channels. After all, with the efficiency of the British, you will definitely not be able to receive anything within ten days and a half." reply."
"Do you have any other ideas?" Batwoman approached Constantine and put her hand next to her seat. Obviously, Batman is good at some persuasive methods based on personal feelings.
"Of course, we can sneak across from the limbo of hell, but you'd better make sure that you are really up to something. Although most of the people in Wanling Academy are purely theoretical, I can't guarantee that there will be no one who can fight. If there's a fight, I won't help you."
The two Batmans looked at each other again, and finally decided to use Constantine's method. After all, if the matter about the mysterious pollution is not solved, Atlantis will come back sooner or later, and a land and sea war will always break out.
Constantine opened a portal, and the three of them first came to the limbo of hell, which is the Soul Book Prison. The two Batmans saw that Constantine first arranged a portal, and then drew a lot of runes. The portal turns a mysterious golden color.
"Hold on to each other later. No matter what you see, don't let go. It's just an illusion in time. Don't believe anything you see until your feet touch the ground."
The two Batmans nodded cautiously. The moment the three stepped into the portal, countless historical fragments flashed before Batman's eyes. Ancient orators stood on boulders and gave speeches. Roman soldiers held shields to repel wild beasts. A raven with blood-red eyes flew across the sky, countless spaceships, lasers, turrets, and a rich darkness.
When they woke up again, they found themselves in a room. Constantine didn't know where he had hidden, but a man wearing a long black trench coat was lying on a lounge chair by the fireplace and taking a nap.
It seems that this is Dr. Sosip, Batman thought. He is younger than he thought, and he doesn't seem to have much to do with the occult. He thought he would see an old man with a white beard and a wizard's hat.
Batwoman gave Batman a look, meaning whether we should wake him up. Batman touched the weapon on his waist first, and then coughed heavily.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't wake up at all. Batman and Batwoman had to walk in front of him until the firelight of the fireplace was completely covered by their shadows, and the man on the recliner moved.
"Why did he fall asleep again?" Strange looked at Schiller leaning on the sofa with some confusion, and said, "It's as if he was the one who performed the 50-hour operation."
"Don't worry about him." Nick glanced at Schiller and said, "Since the blueprint of the monitor has been determined, think about how to send him in. Before the specific situation of those dangerous personalities is fully determined, you'd better not go deep into it. Those mutants should do something."
The two Batmen waited for a while, and the man on the recliner finally woke up completely. Seeing the two figures, he was stunned again.
"Hello, Dr. Soship, we have no ill intentions."
"That's not very convincing." Soship replied.
The two Batmen were speechless. After all, if anyone wakes up and sees two weirdos in tights standing in his living room watching him sleep, it is hard to believe that the other party really has no ill intentions.
"What happened today?" Soheep stood up and muttered, slowly walked to the desk and said: "Has anything big happened recently? Why is there no sign on the star map?"
"Doctor... Doctor! We are here to investigate something." Batman said: "Do you know who Barbatos is?"
Before Soheep replied, Batwoman looked at Batman first. She actually knew that this weird male Batman from another universe was hiding something from her, but she didn't expect him to say such a precise name. It seems that he knows much more than she thought.
"Are you here to investigate Barbatos?" Soheep didn't look surprised. Obviously, he had heard of this name. He said: "This is a bit strange. This name usually doesn't appear alone."
He really came to the right place, Batman thought, because there were indeed several other mysterious figures in his investigation.
"Can you tell me about them?"
"Many people think I have the truth and answers here." Sosip said, "Not really. I can only show you the way. You need to explore the real answer yourself."
Batman didn't care about the mysterious way these mystics spoke. He grasped the key and said, "Where is the way?"
"Earth." Sosip put his hands on the table and said, "If you can find this place, it means you have investigated these things. Then, in the information you have obtained from your investigation, you may have discovered that whether it is the gods who claim to represent the rules of the universe, the developed and brutal aliens, or the indescribable magical things in the universe, all of these have a unique interest in the earth."
Both Batmen frowned. They obviously paid attention to some situations in the universe, especially the Batman in the main universe who had experienced the invasion of Apokolips before. He originally thought that Darkseid came for the equation in his hand, but later he found that Darkseid had some concerns about the earth.
But whether from the perspective of astronomy or the lantern group, the location of the earth is very remote, and there are no very precious resources in the entire solar system, so these strange alien creatures are very abnormal in their interest in the earth.
Batman suddenly understood what Sosip meant. If the problem lies with the earth itself, then the planet under their feet is not as simple as they know, and Batman knows very little about the earth, at least in terms of mysticism.
"We are here for this." Batwoman stood up, walked around and said, "Is there anything you can tell us?"
"In fact, I think you can check it yourself, but not here, go back to the normal timeline and go to the library of Oxford University, there should be what you want there."
In the end, the two Batmen did not get more from Dr. Sosip. Batman already had some ideas in his mind, so he and Batwoman came to the closed Oxford University Library late at night.
Because the history of the United States is so short, the historical books that the two can access in Gotham are either reprinted versions or transcribed versions, and even a large part of them are made up by modern people based on their own speculations about history. So if you have to rate each of Batman's decathlons, history may be his weak point.
Even so, it does not mean that Batman is not suitable for studying history. His memory and outstanding concentration far beyond ordinary people still give him unparalleled talent in this regard.
The two Batmen quickly found the ones they wanted in the vast sea of historical books, and then began to concentrate on studying. Batwoman said while searching in the thick tome: "Do you really think we can find the answer in these histories? Do you think ancient humans did not realize that we were doomed to destruction?"
"Not only did they realize it, they may have even tried to save us, but they failed." Batman also lowered his head to read a book and said, "And you are too pessimistic. This may be a disaster, but it does not mean that we are doomed to be destroyed."
Batwoman looked up at him. The male Batman's temperament is inherently harder and more serious, deeper than her, but Batwoman saw a kind of hope in him. He is more energetic than she showed.
"I know you have lost very important people, twice." Batman said, "But you overestimate your ability to bear it and think that losing more is no big deal. In fact, it is far from the case. You will regret it until that moment."
Batwoman pursed her lips and said, "Did you only lose once?"
"So far, it is still the case, and I found them back."
Batwoman widened her eyes, but Batman acted as calm as ever, and said, "Or, they chose to come back to me."
"You mean Thomas and Martha..."
"I know you are thinking, maybe you still have a chance to see them But believe me, your expectations may be too good. "
"For example?"
Batman looked up at Batwoman, as if he was getting to know her again, looking her up and down and said, "If you have to go, don't wear this outfit, it will make Thomas furious, and some of his words may make you feel his disrespect for your ex-boyfriend."
Batwoman opened her mouth, but she still looked down at her clothes, a little puzzled and said, "What's wrong with my clothes?"
Batwoman's uniform is similar to Batman's. Although it is wrapped very tightly, it is tight and a little too tight.
"It's nothing at first." Batman wrote down the key points in the book with a pen, and the pen tip paused and said, "But if you suddenly have a very troublesome brother, it will be a big problem. "
