Chapter 122: No Hot Swapping! "Alas," Gallup looked...

"Alas," Gallup sighed, looking at his silly student. "It's my fault I never told you. Do you know who the most famous alchemist in the world is?"

"The one who made the Philosopher's Stone..." Alina was interrupted before she could finish her answer.

"Wrong! It's Mendeleev!" Gallup said with certainty.

"Who is that?" Alina's eyes were full of doubt without a trace of knowledge.

But Liu Shu and Superman, who knew Mendeleev, were also confused.

"Are you talking about the Mendeleev we know?" Liu Shu has always known that there are many things on this earth that she is familiar with, but if Mendeleev is an alchemist, she really would not be familiar with him.

"That's him, the periodic table. Alina hasn't even learned that yet." Gallup shook his head.

"How do you know? Isn't he a chemist?" Superman had never heard of this.

Gallup glared. "I know him well. Who says a chemist can't be an alchemist? Every old chemist is an alchemist. Only young people these days don't delve into magic."

"He's still alive?" Liu Shu wouldn't be surprised by his age. There were many people in Xianzhou who lived for hundreds or even thousands of years. If she was surprised by this, then she would be doing nothing but being surprised. She was just limited by the knowledge she had learned before and didn't react for a while.

"He's alive and well, but I'm too lazy to go over there. Every time I see him, I have to dig his house out of the snow more than ten meters high. It's too tiring." Gallup stroked his beard.

Although Superman is an alien, he grew up on Earth and received Earth education. When he heard this, the shock he received was even greater than that of Liu Shu, who had studied abroad in Xianzhou for two years. His face was full of confusion.

"I'll help you continue searching for this..." His voice trailed off.

Liu Shu caught the falling Superman, and then looked at the old wizard in front of him vigilantly.

"Hey - he does this too?" Gallup dusted himself off, but when he saw that Superman had no reaction at all, he also became serious.

"What happened to him?" Alina asked, looking at the unconscious Superman.

They didn't seem to attack Superman. Liu Shu slowly put Superman down, and she didn't feel that there was anyone else around.

"Oh, I'm dreaming." Gallup squatted next to Superman to check on his condition.

"How do you know?" Liu Shu also squatted down like him. If he was sleeping, what kind of good person would fall asleep in the same place before finishing his words? If she hadn't continued, with Superman's speed, he would have been thrown to the ground. Fortunately, he was in good health. If it were any other person, he would have been bruised and battered.

"Look, he's in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and he's probably dreaming." Gallup pointed at Superman's eyes.

“…” Liu Shu didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect this conclusion to be so scientific. But do Kryptonians also dream?

"He's so hard." Alina poked Superman's arm.

When Tim arrived at the scene, he saw three people surrounding the fallen Superman like ants carrying food.

"How is he?" Tim was stunned by his own metaphor for a moment, then he reacted and looked at Superman.

"I was dreaming. I don't know anything else." Liu Shu shook her head. She didn't dare to move him. If she ran on the street holding Superman, others would think that she had fought with Superman and killed him.

If Superman were wrapped in cloth... that would be even scarier, like someone had just killed someone and was throwing the body away.

"Who are these two?" Tim looked at Gallup and Alina who kept hitting Superman with a pickaxe.

"Gallup, senior mage," Liu Shu pointed at Gallup, then at Alina, "Alina, apprentice mage."

Gallup shook his head, "I think I'm more senior than the senior."

"Just call me Tim." Tim introduced himself and stood next to Liu Shu.

"You asked him to help you?" Gallup looked at him, as if he didn't quite believe he could help.

"I know a few people." Tim just smiled and took a step back with Liu Shu.

The next second, a black figure flew up from the fence and Batman stood next to Superman.

"!!" Gallop grabbed Alina and ran.

“…” Batman’s rope was faster, and he tied the two men up tightly and pulled them back.

"Batman!" Alina finally reacted.

Batman didn't know these two people, he just tied them up because they were on the run.

"Oh..." Gallup lay down on the spot.

"Again?" Liu Shu saw such a familiar scene and immediately realized that he was trying to scam people again.

"Teacher!" Alina squatted beside the lying Gallup. Seeing the worried expression, she thought something had happened to her teacher again.

Liu Shu raised her hands to cover her eyes. She really couldn't understand this magician.

"Do you think there's something wrong with them?" Tim asked softly in her ear.

"I didn't feel that way just now, but now it's not certain. Why did he run away when he saw Batman?" Liu Shu said, and suddenly felt his hand being held.

"It's not good to be on the rooftop in this season." Tim felt the warmth of her hand and let her go. "Well - you're in good health..."

Ryushu looked at her hands, she didn't know what Tim was doing, but she wasn't cold at all.

Batman on the side had already understood Gallup's situation, and he untied the ropes on the master and apprentice.

"So you won't beat me." Gallup stroked his beard. He seemed to have some misunderstanding about Batman.

"I'm going to take him away. I'll look for the missing people. You can leave now." Batman picked up Superman.

"Wait," Gallup stopped him. "I don't think he can leave now."

"What else do you know?" Batman thought he was just an ordinary wizard.

"Don't look at me like that, it's scary." Gallup touched his face, took out a piece of chalk from his sleeve, and began to draw runes on the ground.

"What is this?" Seeing that no one asked, Liu Shu simply stood up and asked.

"Someone is trying to control him, but he is resisting. His brain is working. If he leaves this environment now... I don't know if he will wake up or sleep forever." Gallup lay on the ground, and his magic circle became bigger and bigger.

"...I can make those lines visible so that you can see what I see." He stood up, put his hands down, and the magic circle began to slowly rotate from under his feet, and then lit up with white light.

Suddenly, something appeared in the air. Liu Shu saw many strange lines and wavy things colliding with each other, which was dazzling.

"Where are you looking?" Gallup raised his finger and pointed at a bold red line. "Here, here. Don't touch it."

"What will happen if it touches it?" Tim asked curiously. He had never seen this kind of perspective before.

"Nothing will happen. You don't have enough magic to drive the elements. She's different. She can't touch anything."

"Ah?" Liu Shu almost got the upper hand, but Tim reacted quickly and caught her in one go.

"Little girl, you are very suitable to learn magic." Gallup said meaningfully.

"Hey, do you want to learn? I can teach you!" Alina seemed very confident in her lighting skills.

"Forget about magic. The magicians I know are all so weird." Liu Shu refused decisively.

"What's going on?" Batman squatted next to Superman. He looked at the red line connected to him, but out of caution, he didn't move.

"I don't know. A normal human being is an independent and complete creature. They wouldn't be connected to anything else." Gallup reached out and tugged. "There seems to be a lot of stuff on the other side."

"This one is so eye-catching." Liu Shu felt that its style was different from the surrounding things.

"Oh, I imposed my perspective on you. I made it red so you wouldn't be able to see clearly."

Did he add the bold and red text himself? Liu Shu didn't want to read it anymore.

Gallup seemed tired of standing. He sat down on the ground and asked, "What are you going to do?"

“…” Batman looked at the very peaceful Superman in silence for a while, then he stepped onto the railing and overlooked the entire city.

"Why are you in Metropolis..." Liu Shu also walked over, but found that the area below was full of lines connected to Superman, densely packed, like a net covering Metropolis.

"Wow--" Tim tried to take a picture of the spectacular sight, but failed; their current perspective was unable to record it.

"This is a trap." Batman's voice was low. He had warned Superman, but this situation was something they had not expected.

"Hiss, I was wondering why it was so weird here." Gallup leaned on the railing and looked out, his face frowning, as if he was disgusted.

"With so many of them, why are others fine when they touch them?" Liu Shu still remembered that he had pulled them just now.

"Because others are not targeted, just like hackers in targeted attacks, Superman is their target." Gallup's metaphor is apt.

Appropriate enough to remind Batman of his identity.

"Are you Gallup Aswitt, professor of information security at Gotham University?" Batman was a little surprised.

"I'm retired." Gallup waved his hand. This title seemed insignificant to him.

"Information security?" If a chemist is an alchemist, which makes sense if you think about it carefully, then this magician and the former information security professor are somewhat unrelated. Liu Shu couldn't think of any connection between the two. She even saw surprise from Batman just now.

Tim didn't say anything, he was urgently checking someone.

"Why, I can't be a professor?" Gallup put his hands on his hips, looking quite confident in himself.

"Teacher, what is an information security professor?" Alina seemed unaware of her teacher's identity.

Gallup casually explained, "It's about teaching people how to use computers."

“The teacher is amazing!”

Liu Shu looked down at Superman, who hadn't woken up yet and didn't know how he would wake up. She couldn't see any hope of waking him up from the people present.

"Can't pull it out?" Batman had already called for help. He had originally thought that this was a problem he could solve alone.

"Of course not, no hot-swapping!" Gallup yelled.

"Got it." Batman raised his head slightly, feeling a little annoyed by this startled wizard.
