Chapter 918 The Meaning of Life (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)



He was almost smashed directly from mid-air into the ground more than a hundred kilometers deep by the beam of light that fell from the sky. Then he was erupted together with the magma due to the huge underground pressure. There was not an inch of intact skin and muscle on his body, and even the silvery-white bones were exposed in some places.

If it weren't for the blessing of the will of the Seventh Heaven Mountain, if it were any other outer plane or material plane, the whole person would probably have disappeared completely by now.

You must know that the divine power impact released by the powerful divine power has a high probability of directly shattering a planet without additional power protection, or destroying the stars in the galaxy.

Compared with the former, super bombs like nuclear bombs and whirlwind torpedoes, which can hardly even shatter stars, can only be regarded as "small toys" at best.

If the Seventh Heaven Mountain was not an outer plane with infinite space, this blow alone would be enough to penetrate the ground beneath our feet and cause it to explode on the spot.

As the instigator of this shocking scene, the angry incarnation of Talona slowly descended from the sky to the ground in full view of everyone, grabbed Domiel's burnt hair and lifted him up, her eyes revealing naked and undisguised murderous intent.

You know, although her camp has shifted from evil to neutral, and she is no longer as keen on spreading plague, fear and death as before, her original vengeful character has not changed much.

Especially this Son of God, who she had high hopes for, she had always taken great care of him since the beginning of his conception, for fear of any unexpected situation.

But now, this newborn little guy was almost killed by the members of the Seven Fierce Society of Heaven. How could Talona accept this?

So she had made up her mind that even if it meant going against the entire Seventh Heaven Mountain, she would kill Domiel and use the head of one of the highest leaders of the Sub-Earth to announce to the entire universe what would happen if anyone dared to attack her child.

Soon, as terrifying divine power began to gather in the other hand, Domiere, who was rapidly repairing himself with the blessing of the plane's will, smelled the breath of death.

"Wait! You can't kill him!"

Seeing his companion in imminent danger, ILSol no longer cared about maintaining his mystery as a prophet. He immediately spread his wings and flew over, shouting to stop them.

"Give me a reason not to kill him!"

Talona turned and stared hostilely at the Archon leader, who was clad in a blue robe and adorned from head to toe with pearls, silver thread, and magical runes.

Unlike other members of the Seven Fierce Orders of Heaven who always appear to be irreconcilable with evil, ILS Or is a typical wise man.

The third level under its rule is filled with numerous libraries, recording the ancient secrets about the birth of good, evil, chaos, and order in this universe.

Therefore, he always gives people a feeling of being serious, earnest and wise. Even when facing enemies, he rarely gets angry and always remains calm and rational. He is the best choice to handle various diplomatic negotiations.

At least IL Or knows when to compromise and when to give in, instead of fighting stubbornly and wasting his manpower in a war that he can't win.

Especially now when facing an angry and powerful goddess, the most important thing is to calm her down and save Domiel's life.

Otherwise, once the lord of the second level died, there would only be five people left in the Seven Fierce Society of Heaven, and this level would quickly fall under the fierce attack of the devil's army.

“Great goddess of natural cycles, please forgive Domiel’s impulsiveness and recklessness.

After all, it was your descendants who first inflicted heavy casualties on our troops.

Thousands of Sub-Eons were devoured in an instant.

So he was so sad that he couldn't help but do some extreme things.

I would like to express my sincerest apologies to you.

What's more, you are a neutral god of nature. You wouldn't want to see this war between good and evil become completely unbalanced, right?

If you kill Domiel now you will be helping evil fight good.

This is not conducive to expanding your influence among the neutral natural pantheons."

ILS Or carefully explained the interests involved, and at the same time reminded the other party that it was your children who attacked the army of the Sub-Earth Gods first, and our people only took extreme actions under desperation.

This habit of considering the reasons first in everything undoubtedly reflects his characteristics as a lawful good person.

But at the same time, he was not as stubborn and inflexible as Domiel. He clearly realized that the current situation was not favorable to him, so he did not make any excessive demands. He just wanted to end this meaningless conflict.

After all, there is no conflict between the Seventh Heaven Mountain and the natural gods of the neutral camp in terms of ideas and positions.

It is not wise to rashly provoke a powerful goddess of nature for no reason.

"Humph! Do you think that with these boring excuses, I can forgive this idiot who dared to hurt my child?"

Talona sneered disdainfully, obviously not taking the Seven Fierce Orders of Heaven seriously.

Not to mention their current situation of being defeated one after another under the attack of the evil army and being unable to protect themselves, even at their peak, their strength in the outer planes of the entire universe could only be barely ranked at the middle level.

They can neither compare in number with the countless demon lords in the Abyss, nor in quality with the great devils in Baator who can continuously extract energy from souls.

To be precise, their power comes entirely from the blessing of the plane's will of the Seventh Heaven Mountain and from the mortals' belief in order and kindness in the material plane.

Once leaving this plane, his strength will drop drastically, and he may even be inferior to the Seraphic Servant.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that even in a society without war and famine, with relatively sufficient material supply, a sound legal system and a relatively high integrity index, there are very few ordinary people who can do this.

What's more, war, famine, plunder and the greed, privilege and corruption of the ruling class are the norm in most mortal societies.

This means that, on the whole, the proportion of people who believe in lawful goodness and persist in practicing it throughout their lives must be very low, and even fewer souls are qualified to be reincarnated into the Seventh Heaven after death.

The strength of the outer planes is determined by the mortals of the material plane.

So even though the Seventh Heaven Mountain participated in provoking the bloody battle between demons and devils, and then stood aside and silently accumulated strength, after tens of millions of years it still ranked last in strength among many outer planes.

In the eyes of the gods of the non-good camp, the so-called Seven Fierce Councils of Heaven are nothing more than a small group formed by the Sub-Earth Gods.

Apart from having some prestige and influence in the good camp in the upper planes, it is not ranked at all in the entire universe.

Whether it's the demons who once started a war that swept across the universe, or the devils who fought back and forth with the demons in a bloody battle, or the legion of constructs that represent the ultimate order in the mechanical realm, and the Slaad lords from the Chaos Sea, they can all be pinned to the ground.

Not to mention the inner plane elements that serve as the pillars of this universe.

"So what do you want?"

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, ILSO finally realized that today's incident might be more troublesome than he had imagined.

"It's simple. It's up to my child to decide. If he is willing to let Domiel go, then I will naturally stop pursuing him. But if it's the other way around, then he can only blame himself for seeking death."

After saying that, Talona ignored the other person's shocked and angry face, immediately put on a doting expression, smiled and waved to the boy behind her: "Come here, my baby, come to your mother. Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you with me here."

“…”

The boy tilted his head as if thinking about something, but did not respond. Instead, he continued to stand there in a daze.

He seemed so confused and was unusually unresponsive to the stimuli from the people and environment around him.

This situation undoubtedly struck Talona as very strange.

Because as a mother, she knew very well that the child she gave birth to was not just an ordinary son of God who possessed a little divinity and power, but a life with extraordinary power and cognition.

If the spark of the planeswalker had not replaced the spark of divinity, then this child would have been a complete god from the moment he was born.

That’s why she notified the entire church in advance.

If it is a god, it needs believers and faith to maintain it. A new god like this without any foundation usually needs the help of its father or mother who is a god.

This is most evident in the elven pantheon.

All of Corellon's children basically follow this process after they are born. First, a few of his own priests are selected to help set up the church, and then they are gradually separated to operate independently.

But unfortunately, Talona's efforts were in vain in the end.

Now she just wanted to figure out what this child was and what his parents represented to him.

After a long silence, the mouthless boy suddenly asked a strange question without warning: "What is the meaning of life?"

moment!

The expressions of everyone, including ILSol and several big devils around him, changed.

Because they would not regard this question as a child's curiosity and confusion about the meaning of life, but rather as a quasi-divine power representing the abstract concept of death asking why those living beings do not embrace death.

If he gets even one word wrong and comes to the conclusion that life has no meaning at all, he will immediately try to kill every living person he encounters.

Because for this extremely dangerous young man, death is the final and eternal destination of all life. This is determined by the power of death and the divine nature he possesses.

For a moment, no one dared to answer except for the slight gasp.

Even as a mother, Talona began to feel a headache. She opened her mouth several times to say something, but swallowed it back in the end.

"Why don't you ask your father? I think he must have the answer you want."

Just when everyone else was at a loss, Asmodeus, the lord of hell, stepped forward to rescue them.

To be precise, he put the blame on Zuo Si, who was enjoying a short vacation in the palace of Calin Port in the continent of Faerun.

After all, this quasi-divine power with the power of "abstract concept of death" is Zuo Si's descendant, and even a planeswalker with ignited sparks. From any perspective, it is Zuo Si's responsibility and obligation to teach.

Of course, there is also a hidden reason, that is, Asmodeus was very unhappy with the Ninth-level Arms Group for selling a large number of advanced weapons and equipment to enemies in the upper planes. He did not dare to turn his back on them openly, so he could only retaliate a little through such little tricks.

"Father?"

The boy's white pupils showed obvious signs of dilation, and then he nodded thoughtfully. Before those around him could react to what had happened, he disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it! Come back now! You can't go now!"

Seeing her son running away again, Talona was obviously anxious this time. She dropped Domiel in her hand and chased after him.

Because she deliberately did not inform Zuo Si at the first time, just wanting to leave some time alone with the child so that the little guy could be closer to her.

But who could have thought that it would go so wrong.

Now I can't even control it.

Because in the face of the Planeswalker Spark's unreasonably powerful ability to teleport across time and space, mere divine power cannot pose even the slightest obstacle.

Seeing that the two troublemakers had left, Asmodeus immediately said meaningfully to the two leaders of the Archon: "Domiel, Ilsor, let us continue this unfinished war. As long as we defeat you, the second level of the Seven Heavens Mountain will be completely opened, and there will be no force that can stop us from advancing straight in."

"Are you sure you want to continue fighting? After losing so many legions?"

ILS Or obviously wanted a temporary truce so that his army would have time to digest the previous war experience.

Unfortunately, the cunning and experienced Asmodeus obviously would not give the enemy any chance to breathe, and smiled and made an attacking gesture.

In a flash!

The devils' long-range firepower delivery positions once again emitted a deafening roar.

After hearing this, ILS Or immediately returned to his position and put up a huge magical defense to resist the fierce firepower coverage.

Domiel also teleported back and gave orders in an orderly manner to organize the army to resist the attack of the demons.

The battle between the two sides, which had been briefly suspended, finally broke out in full force.

Just when the Archon Clan thought they could perform better on the battlefield this time, and even completely resist the myth of the Devil Legion's invincibility, the Lord of Hell smiled a creepy sneer and ordered without looking back: "It's time to take out that weapon and open the eyes of the Seven Fierce Society of Heaven."

"Which one?"

Gracia blinked in confusion.

In such a situation, only her daughter would dare to speak to Asmodeus in such a casual tone.

"Haha, don't worry, you will see it soon."

The Lord of Hell smiled mysteriously, then stopped talking and just waited silently.

As for Gracia and other hell lords and big devils, they all turned around and looked behind them.

After about ten minutes, they saw a huge cannon that was more amazing than any cannon they had ever seen.

Even the main guns on Zuo Si's fleet pale in comparison.

"This... Could this also be a product of the Ninth Level Arms Group? Why haven't I seen it on the sales list?"

Gracia's voice was clearly trembling.

However, the emotion represented by this trembling is not fear, but excitement and excitement.

Asmodeus responded nonchalantly, “Because it was specially customized, it represents the highest level of technology in the entire Ninth Plane and even in New Phyrexia. Open your eyes and take a good look. This is the true strength of Soth’s weapons production capabilities.”

"Great Lord of Hell, are you ready to start charging?" A hellfire devil knelt on one knee and asked with a grin.

Asmodeus nodded without hesitation: "Of course! Remember to aim well. It would be best if you can kill the two members of the Seven Fierce Order of Heaven directly. Because if they all die here, we should be able to see Zafkiel himself next time."

"As you wish!"

After receiving an affirmative reply, the Hell Devil quickly stood up and activated the control console at the back.

In a flash!

Densely packed silver lines lit up on the running tube of this super cannon, and thousands of runes began to flash bright and dazzling light.

Then astonishing energy began to flow into it, constantly gathering and compressing in the thick and long barrel. The terrifying power made all the lords of hell, including Gracia, feel their scalps tingling.

Because they were very sure that when this super cannon was fully charged, it would definitely kill them with one shot, and there would be absolutely no possibility of survival.

In less than a minute, the energy within a radius of thousands of kilometers was completely drained.

The most typical example is that all magical protection, spell-like abilities and all magic items on the battlefield are ineffective.

Those artillery shells and rays, which relied entirely on technology to operate, began to be able to land directly on the enemy's rear positions and cause astonishing damage.

Even the golden light shooting down from the sky seemed to be gathered together by some invisible force and poured into the silver-shining patterns on the surface of the cannon.

Such a terrifying momentum naturally could not be hidden from the opposing Yakong gods.

ILS Orr, who possessed the ability to predict the future, suddenly changed his expression, as if he had seen the future that was about to happen. He did not care about maintaining his image as a mature and steady wise man at all, and shouted like a madman: "Stop fighting! Run! Leave here! Otherwise, everyone will die..."

Before he could finish his words, the white light of destruction descended.

No fire!

No explosion!

There was no bloody scene! Wherever the white light passed, everything disappeared! It was as if an eraser had erased them from the canvas, even Domiel was no exception.

Not only were the Subarus dumbfounded after losing their supreme commander, the demons were also dumbfounded.

They simply couldn't believe that the long-range weapons that had always been used as auxiliary weapons could have such terrifying power that they could be used directly to kill gods.

Gulp!

Gracia swallowed uncontrollably, her eyes revealing shock and disbelief.

brutal!

So cruel!

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that a weapon that anyone could control could be capable of this level of capability.

Likewise, she also understood why her father had never had the slightest intention of turning against Zuo Si, even though the latter had threatened the absolute authority of the Lord of Hell.

Compared with the benefits gained, the cost of maintaining the alliance between the two is simply insignificant.

Especially the super cannon in front of us, although it has various disadvantages such as being bulky and having a long charging time, its power is enough to make up for everything.

Gracia has made up her mind that after the war, she will ask Zuo Si to customize one for her, no matter what the cost.

Her good sister Philna had the same idea.

Accompanied by the deafening cheers of the devils, this unprecedented battle finally entered its final stage.

Although ILSol tried to reorganize the army, the Archons suffered so many devastating blows today that many of them completely lost the will to fight and resist, and began to be captured in large numbers by the surging demons.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he could only gather some of his remaining troops and retreat, abandoning the second level and retreating to the third level which he ruled. At the same time, he reported the super weapons used by the devils to the Seven Fierce Councils of Heaven.

伊LS欧尔相信只要这份报告传遍整个善良阵营,其余崇善位面必然会立刻采取行动。

……

另外一边,位于卡林港的皇宫内。

左思正在用一种十分怪异的眼神盯着站在自己面前,如同犯错小女孩一样手足无措的塔洛娜,以及向自己询问“活着的意义”的抽象小儿子。

足足过了半分钟,他才用不是很确定的语气问:“我不是跟你说过,当他快要出生的时候提前通知我吗?”

“抱……抱歉,当时情况太复杂了,我没能第一时间通知你。”塔洛娜小声替自己辩解道。

但旁边的少年却毫不留情拆穿了她的谎言。

“不,不对。母亲是故意不让手下去通知您的,父亲。”

瞬间!

塔洛娜上演了变脸绝活,先是从紧张变成错愕,紧跟着又从错愕变成愤怒。

她完全不敢相信,这个忘恩负义的小兔崽子居然敢出卖自己。

“噗哈哈哈哈!有意思!真是太有意思了!”

躲在角落里看热闹的小安妮一个没绷住当场捧腹大笑,同时越看自己这个新弟弟越觉得好玩。

“我的好女儿,能麻烦你别在这种时候添乱,行吗?”

左思没好气的瞪了女孩一眼。

“哦,知道了。”

小安妮赶忙做了个给嘴巴拉上拉链的动作,然后装出一副严肃的样子。

但她那憋笑的表情根本掩饰不住。

正所谓看热闹不怕乱子大。

更何况这里边还涉及到自己强势的老父亲。

不过左思这会儿显然已经没空去理会有点幸灾乐祸的女儿了,直截了当的问塔洛娜:“你难道就不想解释解释吗?”

“现在解释还有用么?”

女神似乎有点破罐子破摔的架势,一屁股坐在椅子上拿起一个摆放在桌子上的水果吭哧咬了一口。

她显然很清楚以左思的智商,从自家小兔崽子说出真相的那一刻就不存在任何撒谎狡辩的可能性。

与其继续死不承认,倒不如干脆承认下来争取个宽大处理。

要知道随着左思的力量变得越来越强大,塔洛娜早就已经把自己的姿态摆得非常低,从未端过什么女神的架子。

甚至还有那么一点点害怕惹对方生气。

“为什么要这样做?我想你应该很清楚这其中的危险性。”

左思不动声色的继续追问。

他知道既然事情已经发生,那么无论生气还是发火都没有任何意义,眼下的当务之急是解决问题而非制造矛盾。

很多人就是因为拎不清轻重,只是一味在发泄情绪,最终将原本不是很严重的问题彻底激化。

作为一个自诩理性的人,左思当然不会犯这样的错误。

而且他这个小儿子看上去一点都不叛逆,反而有一种说不上来的怪异感,竟然一见面就提出了非常深奥的哲学问题。

因为曾经有数不清的学者、哲人从各个角度深入探讨过生命的意义,但却没有谁能给出一个令人信服的标准答案,或者说是社会共识。

站在个人角度,左思倾向于生命本身根本没有任何意义,而是作为思考主体的“人”强行赋予了它意义,以便让自己有一个可以活下去的理由。

否则那些刚出生没多久就夭折的婴儿其生命有何意义? 难道屠宰场里那些家禽和牲畜活着的意义就是为了给人类提供肉食吗? 又或者被关在动物园里的动物,莫非其生命的意义就是给人观赏?

那些被资本剥削一辈子最终在只能在贫穷、饥饿、疾病中痛苦死去的被剥削者活着又是为了什么? 只有生命本身没有意义才能让这些现象有一个合理的解释。

但问题是如果生命本身没有意义,那那些不断挣扎的人为什么不选择去死呢? 为什么还要痛苦的活着?

对未来抱有某种不切实际的希望?

还是单纯的生物本能在驱使?

又或者是舍不得短暂及时享乐所带来的快感? 左思自己显然也不知道该如何做出解答,只能一边利用塔洛娜拖延时间,一边思考适合的回答。

但塔洛娜明显并不知道这一点,苦笑着解释道:“我只是希望他能多亲近我这个母亲一点,但我显然搞砸了。”

“好吧,我想我知道是怎么回事了。”

左思微微点了下头。

“你没有生我的气,对吧?”

塔洛娜有些担忧的盯着左思的眼睛小心翼翼试探道。

“没有。我是那种会随随便便就生气的人吗?别担心,你还是赶紧回去打理一下陷入恐慌的国度吧,这里的事情就不用你管了。”

左思伸出手帮女神整理一下被风吹乱的头发,脸上浮现出令人安心的微笑。

塔洛娜见状明显松了一口气,丢掉手中的果核用眼角余光瞥了下自己的孩子,然后才依依不舍的转身离开。

她知道接下来是父子谈话的时间,自己留下来只会添乱。

目送女神的身影彻底从费伦大陆消失,左思这才站起身对幼子说道:“活着的意义分为很多种,每个人都有属于自己的理解,很难给出一个确切的答案。但我可以向你稍微展示一下,你愿意跟着一起来吗?”

“非常乐意!”

少年诡异的白色瞳孔中闪过一抹幽光。

“棒极了。那就让我们立刻出发吧。不过在此之前,我得先问一句,你有自己的名字吗?如果没有的话,我可以帮你起一个。”

左思开始尝试着用心理学中的技巧和话术来拉近两人之间的距离。

因为他需要确定这个儿子的性格、阵营倾向,才能决定向其展示那种活着的意义。

“嗯——就叫我麦尔吧。”

少年以一种漫不经心的语气从嘴里吐出了一个十分随意的名字。

因为这是他在尚未出生时杀死并吞噬掉的第一个生命,非常具有纪念意义。

“跟我来吧,麦尔。我想你应该已经可以使用旅法师火花进行跨位面旅行了,对吗?”

说着,左思启动自己的旅法师火花一头扎进黑暗虚空。

麦尔则一言不发的紧随其后。

“等等我!我也要去!”

向来喜欢热闹的小安妮显然不会放过这样的机会也跟了上去。

眨眼功夫,一行三人便穿越黑暗虚空抵达了一个略显黑暗、怀旧、充斥着刺鼻气味的现代化大都市的小巷。

还没等两个小家伙来得及确认这里是哪个时空,一个身影便从黑暗中钻了出来,以迅雷不及掩耳的速度冲向路边一个蜷缩在垃圾桶旁边的流浪汉,掏出泛着寒光的匕首连续刺击。

伴随着痛苦的惨叫,流浪汉身上的衣服便被暗红色的鲜血所浸透。

但手持匕首的人却丝毫没有半点怜悯之心,又捅了十几下直到对方不再挣扎、抽搐,这才一把将还温热的尸体丢进垃圾桶内,自己则掉头钻进另外一条小巷。

整个杀戮过程简单、粗暴、迅捷,从始至终没有进行过一句话的交流,更没有抢劫之类的行为,从一开始就奔着杀人去的。

如果不是亲眼所见,很难想象会有人去杀路边毫无价值的流浪汉。

“如何,你感受到了什么?”

左思突然没头没脑的问了一句。

“我感受到了生命的逝去,以及心怀不甘的怨恨。那个被杀的人并不想死,他想要活着。”

麦尔直截了当说出了自己最直观的感受。

左思轻声感叹道:“是啊,那个流浪汉想要活着。但你知道为什么他想要活着吗?毕竟他的生活已经如此凄惨,根本看不到半点希望和未来。”

“因为……他可以从酒精、药物、赌博和性中获取到廉价的生理快乐?”

麦尔用不是很确定的语气反问。

“呵呵,你只说对了其中的一部分。

还有一部分是他看到了一些不该看到的画面,并试图以此来向另外一个人勒索一笔巨款。

有了这笔钱,他就能摆脱现如今的糟糕状况过上梦寐以求的花天酒地生活。

但是很可惜,他忘记了一件事情,那就是对方既然是有钱人,为何还要接受勒索而不是直接买凶杀人呢?

毕竟这里可是大名鼎鼎的哥谭市,各种罪犯、变态、黑帮、神经病和疯子的天堂。

所以他死了,死在了一名只要两千美元就愿意杀人的小混混手中。”

说罢,左思再一次将目光投向自己的幼子身上,似笑非笑的问:“你能告诉我这个流浪汉活着的意义是什么吗?”

麦尔低着头思考了片刻,很快回答道:“他活着意义就是追求极致的享乐。为此他甘愿冒被杀掉的风险。”

“没错,这就是一种活着的意义。

Although it is boring and vulgar, it is the most true portrayal of the inner world of many mortals.

For this type of people, earning money through work or other means is simply for the purpose of spending it in exchange for all kinds of luxury.

Their brains are completely alienated, turning them into demons who are unable to suppress their inner desires.

The most typical characteristic of this type of people is that they usually have a short lifespan.

The more they try to avoid death, the closer they are to it.”

When saying this, there was an obvious hint of naked and undisguised contempt in Zuo Si's tone.

Although he is not an ascetic and often satisfies his desires, he looks down on those who are completely consumed by desires.

After all, people's happiness threshold has an upper limit, and it will become less and less sensitive depending on the intensity of the stimulation, and ultimately it will require something extremely twisted and perverted to satisfy it.

Therefore, those who pursue extreme pleasure will inevitably become perverts in the end.

"It turns out that enjoyment is a meaning of life..."

Maile muttered quietly, his eyes gleaming with curiosity as he looked at the homeless man's body.

Obviously, compared to the extremely kind-hearted Sub-Sky people and the extremely evil demons, the thoughts and behaviors of these mortals are what he is interested in.

Because the complexity of human nature is not static, but constantly oscillates between good and evil, order and chaos.

Especially Gotham, this big melting pot, is simply the perfect stage for all kinds of extreme human nature.

"Ahem - Father, there is a pair of eyes in the alley behind us staring at us with ill intentions." Little Annie coughed loudly to remind him.

"She's just a little kitty who holds a grudge. Just let her follow you. It doesn't matter."

Zuo Si shrugged nonchalantly.

He had already noticed Catwoman jumping down from a nearby building, and he also knew why she was following him from a distance.

After all, ever since he was forcibly injected with the beast curse, he would transform into a cat-man and become extremely beastly every full-moon night.

This situation obviously made it even more difficult for Catwoman, who already had many cat-like habits, to control herself.

When the long-missing culprit reappears, one naturally can't help but want to try to get an antidote or something like that.

"As you wish."

Little Annie obviously didn't think of a beastman as a big threat. After turning around and taking a look at the black figure on the roof, she ignored the other party.

Led by Zuo Si, the three of them continued along the alley.

It can be seen that with the completion of the destruction and reconstruction caused by the last Doomsday, Gotham City, which had originally had a better security situation, has once again returned to its old state.

I have to say, this damn place is pretty damn toxic.

You have to know that the current Gotham has not only one Batman Bruce Wayne, but also the Batman he brought from another timeline, and the Sun Knight Davian.

But what is the result?

Gotham is still the same Gotham, with the same old formula and taste, nothing has changed at all.

Various crimes, murders, gang fights and gray industries are rampant in the streets.

After walking only a few blocks, Zuo Si witnessed three more murders. Two of them were gangs dealing with traitors, and one was a drug addict who strangled his girlfriend to death while high.

In addition, there were also people trying to sell him various small white pills of unknown origin and purpose, which were said to make people feel super good.

In short, there is nothing that won’t happen in Gotham, except what you can’t imagine.

Just as Zuo Si was showing his son the rich diversity of the city and the various bad people's understanding of the meaning of life, a familiar voice suddenly dropped from the sky, landed steadily on the ground with the help of a hang glider, and then a specially processed low voice echoed in his ears.

"When did you come back?"

"Just now. I have to say, you showed up a little earlier than I expected. Why, have you been free lately?"

Zuo Si raised his head and looked with a smile at the pair of eyes full of confusion and awe under the other person's bat helmet.

Needless to say, the person who came was none other than the guardian of this city, the famous Batman - Bruce Wayne.

Obviously, through various high-tech means, he discovered Zuo Si's arrival, so he immediately put down other things at hand and rushed over as soon as possible.

After all, even if all the criminals, psychopaths and lunatics in Gotham City were combined, the damage they could cause would be far less than that of a single finger of the great devil in front of them.

"Who are these two children?"

Bruce Wayne subconsciously locked his eyes on little Annie and Mel.

If it were someone else, they might have treated the two little guys as ordinary minors.

But he knew that being able to walk calmly with Zuo Si through the alleys of Gotham at night could never be described as ordinary.

As a person who likes to collect intelligence and formulate various targeted strategies when he is free, he immediately wants to find out the other party's identity, origin, strength, weakness and other information out of professional habit.

After all, it’s better to be prepared…
