Chapter 972 Battle for the Tower (VI)

There are not only demons in hell, nor are there only monsters that are big and strong and not human-like.

As Schiller said, the aesthetics of God's creations are basically the same. Except for some natural and unrestrained races that evolved later, the older the demons are, the closer they are to the human form, or in other words, the form of God himself.

There are many humanoid races in hell. The demon lord Belial belongs to the most famous ancient demon clan. This kind of demon also has two legs and two hands and walks upright. Except for the different skin color and more hideous face, there is almost no difference from humans.

There are also shadow demons that often harass the human world. They look like human shadows. Except for a pair of wings on their backs and a black body, they are also human-shaped. In addition, there are many deformed demons that walk in the human world and deceive humans. They sometimes maintain human form.

In addition, there are some human black magicians, cave dwellers, star spirits and ancient rebels in hell, and some lucky human souls who failed to pay the price due to a transaction error and ended up on the wild land of hell.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for humanoid creatures and human souls to appear here, and not all demons have the ability to take a bite of souls.

To put it bluntly, there is no clear dividing line between human souls and demon bodies. Being able to directly devour human souls means being able to directly devour demons. The only ones who have this ability are powerful demon lords and experienced demon generals.

If any of the minions in hell could tear their kind alive, hell would not have been able to run stably for so many years.

Moreover, there are also similar laws in hell. Simply put, this is a federal state. Satan is the nominal head of the state, but in fact, each state is autonomous.

Among the slaves Batman saw standing on the top of the mountain, at least one-third were human or humanoid creatures. Alfred's figure was not noticeable among them, but Batman still saw his old butler at a glance.

Batman thought about it for a while and understood what was going on. He jumped into hell, Constantine was mentally stimulated, but there was still one person who was mentally normal, that was Zatanna.

Although Zatanna was incompatible with Gotham, the city of sin, her way of doing things was a bit too straightforward in this crazy and chaotic city, so it was a bit stupid, but she was a good person like Constantine, who took saving the world as her own responsibility, and naturally could not watch her friends fall into hell.

Batman guessed that it was very likely that Zatanna wanted to save him and Schiller, and Alfred knew about it, so he came to hell with her.

Batman standing on the top of the mountain sighed, not knowing whether he should be moved or have a headache. He knew that his butler had an unknown past, to put it bluntly, he was a KGB agent.

But KGB agents are not very effective in hell. The opponents here are not CIA agents. Those big and strong demons cannot be dealt with by one or two guns.

Batman sighed. Now, he has one more task. In addition to protecting Schiller who is in a bad state and trying to escape from here, he also has to find a way to rescue Alfred and take him away.

After hesitating for a while, Batman did not immediately rush to the slave team where Alfred was. After all, according to his observation from a high place, Alfred was in a good mental state and was not injured. The group of demon supervisors drove him, not to work, but to take them to familiarize themselves with the mine.

In this case, he had to take Schiller to a safe place, so that when he went to rescue Alfred, Schiller would not have any trouble again. Without a safe base, there would be no place to put the rescued people.

Batman was getting busier and busier, but his thoughts were getting clearer and clearer. The death scenes hovering in his mind gradually faded. A black cape swept over the mine. With a "pop", Batman landed at the door of the underground prison and pushed the door open again.

"You said, you saw Alfred in the slave team?" Schiller narrowed his eyes and asked Batman. Batman nodded, and then Schiller asked again: "What are you going to do?"

"I'll take you to a safe place first. I saw an abandoned mine not far from the prison. It seems that no one has been there for a long time. I'll take you there to repair it, and then I'll bring Alfred here, and then find a way to leave here."

Schiller rolled his eyes, but he shook his head and said: "No, I don't plan to leave. They caught us here just to treat us as Slaves, mining for them. "

"If we stay here, we will have the identity of a slave, but if we leave, we will still be illegal residents of hell. No matter where we go, we can't explain to others who we are. "

"Do you really want to stay here forever?" Batman asked, "Isn't the purpose now to leave?"

"Yes, I know you care about Gotham, but do you really think resurrection is such a simple thing? Let's not talk about where the exit of hell is. Every piece of land here belongs to the demon lord. If you want to open a portal to the human world here, it is impossible not to be discovered. "

Schiller slowly stood up, looked at Batman and said: "I think you should know the situation of your soul. You are not just an ordinary human soul. Once your abnormality is noticed by the demon lord, they will never I’ll let you out of here.”

"And, Batman, this is hell." Schiller smiled, with some joking and madness, he said: "You have seen the living conditions of the lowest people in Gotham, and you describe it as hell, then ,Aren't you curious about the real hell?"

Batman looked at him silently, but Schiller didn't need to answer. Schiller sat back, tilted his head towards Batman and said: "I have disposed of the body of the jailer. Now, over there Go and act like a slave..."

After saying that, he lowered his head and stopped talking. After Batman thought for more than ten seconds, he did as he asked and sat next to him.

I have to admit that Batman is indeed a little curious about hell, or in other words, the scenes he saw in hell made him feel a little disappointed.

People often compare Gotham to hell, but according to what Batman has seen and heard in just a few hours, hell is far worse than Gotham.

In the few minutes he watched from the top of the mountain, he didn't even notice a single armed conflict. Not a single demon bled or died, which was unthinkable in Gotham.

After a while, a four-armed demon with dark red skin came down cursing. Batman discovered that the language used in hell was not a specific language, but a kind of soul fluctuation. Therefore, he could also Find out what this demon is saying.

"That guy Altan must have gone somewhere to be lazy again. Damn it, we haven't formed three teams today. If the boss finds out, he will definitely scold us again!"

Holding a whip and a bunch of keys in his hand, he came to the cell door. He used the iron ring of the key to knock hard on the iron bars in front of the door, and then shouted loudly: "Get up! Get up! You guys are useless." , come out with me quickly! We must form three teams today!”

Schiller and Batman remained motionless until the demon roughly opened the cell door and waved to them: "Are you new here? Do you understand the rules of hell? Come out quickly and follow me. Today After getting familiar with the environment of the mine, we will start working tomorrow, what a bunch of idiots!”

It wasn't until a few thin demons walked out of the cell opposite that Schiller and Batman mingled with the crowd and followed the overseer out of the cell.

"You are lucky, idiots. The big bugs are not hungry today, so the losses are not big. They went out twice and brought back more than a dozen people. If it were normal, half of you would have got bugs." In the belly!”

While driving them out, the devil cursed and said: "So, you all give me a look, and when you enter the mine later, stop making a fuss. If you don't want to become insect fodder, just work harder for me! "

When they arrived outside the prison, the overseers put shackles and handcuffs on all the slaves. Schiller said nothing and allowed them to manipulate them.

When it was his turn, the supervisor also cursed: "Those animal trainers are really getting more and more careless. They are trying to catch such a thin human soul. They will fall apart in less than two days... Forget it, hurry up." Come on, don’t let me see you, you’re so unlucky!”

Batman, who was standing in the back row, was terrified, fearing that Schiller would suddenly burst out and he would not follow him. Every nerve in his body was tense and he was ready to make tactical moves at any time.

But unexpectedly, Schiller walked past the overseer with his head lowered and joined the team on the other side without saying anything.

When it was Batman's turn, he took a look at the handcuffs and shackles and found that they were made of a strange metal. There were no keyholes or gaps after putting them on. It would be difficult to take them off. He felt a little resistant. , but when he looked up, he saw Schiller’s death gaze next to him.

Batman also remained silent and allowed the other party to shackle him. They both entered the team next to them, and then the overseer took them to the mine.

When they entered the mine, Alfred's team just came out, and the two teams looked at each other from a distance.

Batman met Alfred's eyes first, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in an instant he understood Alfred's expression, which was signaling him not to speak.

Then, Alfred's eyes fell on Schiller, and Batman discovered that Schiller's housekeeper Merkel was following Alfred.

The three of them made eye contact that Batman couldn't understand at all, and then became indifferent and passed by each other, as if they didn't know each other at all.

Entering the dark mine, the supervisor no longer paid most of his attention to them. Schiller slowed down and walked side by side with Batman. Batman heard him and said in a low voice:

"They will start work at dawn tomorrow morning. Enter from the right gate of the mine. The starting point is on the third underground floor of the mine. At noon, all the slaves in the entire mine will gather together to have a meal. It will last about half an hour. time..."

"After eating, Merkel will cooperate with you to attract the guard's attention, and I will go and meet Alfred..."

Batman's voice was full of doubts: "Wait a minute, why are you so skilled?????"

Schiller looked straight ahead expressionlessly, glanced at Batman, and then said:

"Because we are professionals."
