Hugo Strange, the Gargoyle, is a psychologist at Arkham Asylum.
Coincidentally, Harley, who has become a little ugly girl, was once a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum. For people like them, madness is like a poison buried deep in their souls. They don't realize that they should heal themselves first before healing others.
When Batman appeared, he thought Batman had excellent genes. He wanted to obtain Batman's genes and turn him into his own experimental subject. However, he was defeated by Batman again and again. But even after several escapes, Hugo did not give up and continued to pursue Batman. He may have become obsessed with this power and even wanted to become Batman.
Later, he discovered that Batman was "Bruce Wayne". Hugo believed that he was not the only one who discovered this, but the criminals in Gotham only wanted to defeat Batman and had no interest in Bruce Wayne's identity who lived in the light.
This time, Hugo won the support of Scarecrow by saying, "If you cooperate with me, I will tell you the true identity of Batman." As for Two-Face, he threw a coin and chose to join the chaos that swept the city.
Hugo is falling.
Directly in front of him is Dean Quincy Sharp, and on his left and right are two prison guards from Blackgate Prison. After releasing those lunatics and controlling them with drugs, Hugo plans to first occupy Blackgate Prison, kill all the prison guards, spray poison gas throughout the city of Gotham, and then, in front of everyone and in front of the camera, take off Bruce Wayne's mask.
Unfortunately, the Red Hood refused the invitation, so he would have died too.
Hugo doesn't care whether it's the city or the citizens. Gotham will not change at all because... because his other partner, the Owl Court, will ensure that the city remains "stable" and "normal", and he will also get experimental support. If anyone is to blame, blame the mayor for vetoing the "Arkham City" proposal several times. This makes Hugo very embarrassed, otherwise, he may not have made such a plan.
However, at this time the Scarecrow had no idea of the existence of the Owl Court, Harvey Dent was a madman with half of his face burned, and Quincy Sharp was a fool. Hugo despised them in his heart, and the elevator arrived at the station.
He followed Sharp out and heard the prison guard beside him whisper, "I feel a little sleepy..."
Hugo paused slightly and turned his head sharply: in an instant, the two prison guards, the guards who were supposed to be patrolling the corridor, and several mentally ill criminals in the cell disappeared.
The only one left was Quincy Sharp, who was looking at him with that stupid face.
Hugo took out the communicator and without any reply, he rushed into the corridor, ignoring the annoying Xiao Chou and the killer crocodile opposite Xiao Chou, and tried to call the landline for help, but the call did not go through.
It was night now, he opened the window and looked out——
Without light, the sticky darkness is like a materialized monster. There is no moon, no starlight, nothing!
Unknown to Hugo, the prison guard who he thought had disappeared yawned and turned his head: "Dean Sharp...Huh? Dean Sharp?"
Sharp and his entourage disappeared, but the prison guard was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes. The elevator door opened, but he slowly slid to the ground, supported his chin, and began to snore.
He didn't notice that his partner had also fallen asleep, resting his head on his legs and drooling on his knees.
——Night has fallen.
The dark night emerged from the edge of the city, covering every corner of the city inch by inch. If you look down from a high enough altitude, you can see that the entire Gotan seems to be "extinguished" by some force. The thick black covers the city, as if a giant beast from the abyss is lurking here, dragging everyone into a drowsy dream.
This is obviously abnormal. Anyone standing in the next city can see that it is as if the city of Gotham has been "physically" erased from the map. When you look over here, you can only see darkness.
Superman on the train decided to take a nap, he thought he would wake up when the train arrived at the station, Barbara stared at the interface in front of her, and suddenly felt that the control panel in front of her was very suitable for lying down and taking a nap, Dick leaned on the Batmobile, and Tim grabbed the street lamp and slowly sat down, with his forehead against the lamppost, and fell into a peaceful and sweet dream.
Those who were at home crawled back into bed and had a good night's sleep. Those who were driving parked their cars aside, feeling extremely sleepy. The moving train also slowly stopped, and disappeared into the darkness along with those "bad kids" and the props that the bad kids wanted to use to destroy the city.
When Vivi opened the flower, she found that the Batman in the flower had his hands clenched into fists and raised upwards, as if he was going to hit someone, but his body had fallen asleep uncontrollably. As for the Scarecrow next to him, his body seemed to be made of translucent black ink, and he was looking around in fear, but he obviously couldn't see Vivi.
In addition to him, those minions similar to Two-Face, the tanks underground, and the props dropped by the scarecrow all turned into an "ink"-like state. Vivi stepped on the fear gas device, and the bubbles condensed from the ink burst and then dissipated into the air.
【Silent Night (One-time)】
[Good children will have sweet sleep, while bad children will have terrible dreams. No one will be hurt, no one will die, and only when the dream ends will they return to reality in fear.]
【Countdown: 3:58:55】
That is to say, these ink-colored guys can fight each other in another dimension, but they will not actually die. They will just experience the process of death and be afraid of it.
Everyone else fell asleep, and the only one who existed in two overlapping dimensions at the same time was Weiwei herself, so she could affect another dimension, such as crushing the "ink" with one foot, but according to the system's description, the bad kids would not die.
This powerful tool has entered the countdown, with the minimum time being 4 hours, but this is not enough——
Gotha is a modern metropolis, and four hours is far from enough. The hall is full of people sleeping all over the place. Apart from Vivi, the only one awake is her trumpeter, Anna Ellek.
Weiwei quickly opened the closet and was transported to the manor. Then, under the statue that brought good luck in the manor—
Draw a card.
Her current balance is 320 diamonds, but good steel should be used wisely, so it doesn't matter if she takes a gamble and draws a single draw now.
[You spent 100 diamonds to draw a card——]
[You obtained [Silver·Item: Gargoyle]]
[Description: You can awaken the sculptures in the city that contain human fears. However, fear is like electricity. Once it is consumed, it will no longer be able to sustain the activities of the sculptures. These sculptures will return to where they were supposed to be.]
[You don't think that everything is free, right? ]
[You spent 100 diamonds to draw a card——]
[You obtained [Gold Item: Transformer]]
[Description: Exchange is one of the basic elements of magic. To exchange something for something else, you often need to use complex spells to achieve it. But with a transmutator, as long as the items are of equal value, they can be converted into each other.]
[Don't let the poor transformer eat a living person. It doesn't undertake any resurrection business. Humans always think that everything can be exchanged! Humans are fools! ]
[You spent 100 diamonds to draw a card——]
[You obtained [Gray Iron Item (One-time): Shrink for 3 seconds]]
[Description: Make something - invisible or visible - smaller for 3 seconds. It seems useless, but the prop has a very high priority. You can also shrink God for three seconds.]
【What can you do in 3 seconds? 】
【Diamond balance: 20】
[Unable to continue drawing cards]
I got gold from a single draw!
Weiwei was staying in her own manor. It was dark outside the window. She took out the transformer, which was an ordinary golden scale.
Looking at this, Weiwei realized how to use it——
She grabbed a handful of air, placed the card-like [Gray Iron Item (One-time): Shrink for 3 seconds] on the left, and then placed [Silver Item: Silent Night (in use)] on the right.
The scale began to sway back and forth, and Weiwei whispered, "Exchange the fear brought by the long night for the duration of the prop."
[Transaction completed]
The light of the gray iron-colored prop card became brighter, almost turning into silver, and the silent night dimmed a lot.
Then, Weiwei used this gray prop card on the "Horror Dream". This is an invisible item, and it was used successfully -
She watched as [Silent Night] split into two cards.
[Silent Night (Good Children): Good children will get a good night's sleep, lasting 3 hours, 55 minutes and 42 seconds]
[Silent Night (Bad Kids): Bad Kids will be immersed in a dream of fear. The dream has shrunk and the duration is unknown. When the dream returns to its normal size, time will continue to flow.]
[The fear generated by dreams is turning into the power to shrink dreams]
Weiwei has seen it. The darkness that originally shrouded the entire city has disappeared, and the stars appear normally, but the dream swept through, dragging the transformed "bad kids" into it. A miniature black Gotham City appeared on the ground in front of her. She saw planes appearing over Blackgate Prison and chaos in the East District. She stood on the edge of this miniature city. Compared with the city, she was like a giant... and everyone was just an ant. Even if you got close, you couldn't see their facial features clearly.
Then, Vivi sneered, dragged the card [Silent Night (Bad Kid)] to the left side of the scale, and dragged [Silver·Item: Gargoyle] to the right side of the scale.
The scale began to sway back and forth, and Weiwei read again: "Exchange the fear brought by the long night for the duration of the prop."
[Transaction completed]
[The player uses Fear Exchange to extend the duration of "Shrink for 3 Seconds". The player uses Fear Exchange to charge energy for the "Drooper" activity. Fear is being consumed rapidly. When the fear is exhausted, the effect of the two cards will not be maintained.]
How could fear be unsustainable?
Weiwei, wearing her boots, strode towards the miniature city on the floor, then raised her foot—
She stepped on the sky above the city, and then walked around angrily in this ink-printed city.
There was chaos under my feet in an instant!
No wonder everyone says that if you are really angry, just destroy something to vent your anger. Now she feels that her anger is released through destruction. I just don’t know what people in the city think?
——They will not really die, they will be resurrected again and again, and they will not be able to see what Weiwei is doing. They will only feel that the city is being destroyed, but they cannot escape.
——They don’t know that it is the fear they feel in the disaster that has turned into a force that imprisons them and prevents them from escaping.
The scales swayed ever so slightly, and in the real city of Gotham, the eyes of the gargoyles lit up red and they simultaneously spread their wings.
The night is still long.
