What bad intentions could Batman have?.

Beach City.

Hand Funeral Home.

William Hand, dressed in black, stood quietly behind a couple who were mourning in silence.

The sign next to him reads:

Condolence time:

3:30pm-5:30pm.

He looked at the watch on his hand.

"It's time, you two. We're closing."

He helped his parents, who were still sobbing softly, out of the morgue and then returned.

There was no one in the empty room.

The sky outside the window has darkened and is covered with clouds. Tonight must be a moonless night, a...

Darkest Night.

It was a night as silent and deep as death.

William stood in front of the window, with his back to the coffin, looking at the deep midnight night. He stared deeply into the darkness and was fascinated by it.

"No, I can't do this anymore." He shook his head suddenly: "This is not what a good Christian would do."

As he said this, he felt some kind of power surge in his blood.

Snapped!

He slapped himself hard, then whispered nervously.

"Oh my God, please, please stop."

But some innate connection with darkness still kept driving him, grabbing the last bit of conscience in his heart. His eyes turned red little by little, and his reason was curled up by the smoke like smoke. of stripping.

"Ah...ah...ah..."

He groaned and shuddered.

Then I heard a voice in my ear.

"William Hand?"

!!!

This voice suddenly brought William back to reality.

He turned his head sharply and saw a bald middle-aged man standing at the door of the morgue.

One of his eyes seemed to have been struck by some lightning, and it shone with a faint light, shining into the dim room.

"who are you?"

William leaned on the coffin: "I have obviously locked the door...how did you get in?"

"Is this what Atrocitus wants to find?"

He heard the bald middle-aged man seeming to be talking to someone, but except for the two of them, there was no one else around.

"The divination magic revealed that it was him. We found the right one, Sivana."

However, William heard another voice. It's low, hoarse, and gives you goosebumps when you listen to it, as if there is a vicious insect whispering in your ear.

"But why did Atrocitus seek out this ordinary man?"

Dr. Sivana looked at William Hand up and down like an animal:

"No matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary person, there is nothing strange about him."

"I don't know." The hoarse whisper replied: "I am a Meditation Mite, not an omniscient god. Divination magic can only allow us to confirm that he is the target of Atrocitus, but it cannot divine why the other party did what he did. Such detailed causes and consequences.”

Meditation Mite said: "But we don't need to know."

"That's right." Dr. Sivana said: "We only need to capture him so that Atrocitus can be used by us."

"As for why Atrocitus wanted to capture him... it has nothing to do with us."

"Who are you? Who is the person you are talking to? What do you want to do to me?" William Hand, the more he listened, the worse he became. A huge sense of fear crept into his heart little by little. :"leave me alone!"

Even at this time, he still reluctantly took one last look at his favorite corpse, then turned around and ran towards the window desperately.

"Hey, this guy can hear you, Meditation Mite." Dr. Sivana said: "Just an ordinary person? There is indeed something strange about him. No wonder Atrocitus wants to get him."

"Yes, but we don't need to care about these." He said, then calmly snapped his fingers and said in a croaking tone: "Hocus Pocus! (Trick!)"

He only used a small low-level trick, and William Hand fell to the ground with a thud, as if his whole body was bound by invisible ropes.

"The next spell is not something you can cast." The Meditation Mite hidden in Dr. Sivana's cochlea said, "Let me do it."

Dr. Sivana walked up to William Hand, who was gagged, unable to speak, and struggling desperately.

Following the meditation mite's incantation, William Hand's eyelids twitched and he fell into a baby-like sleep without saying a word.

Then the insect said: "The portal to the void...open quickly!"

The air seemed to open a transparent door. Dr. Sivana hooked his fingers, and William Hand flew up and fell in with a squeak.

The room became quiet again.

"Then...it's just a matter of waiting for Atrocitus to come to the door."

Dr. Sivana disappeared suddenly.

More than 30 minutes later.

Wow!

The roaring Atrocitus smashed the glass and brick walls, rushed into the morgue, overturned the coffins parked there, and the flowers and the dead body of the little girl swirled in the air and fell to the ground.

"Ho--William Hand--"

"There is a doorway to pure darkness within you—"

Atrocitus roared for a while, then stopped his meaningless roar.

"William Hand?"

?

"What about people?"

“Where are the people??!!!”

Atrocitus frantically destroyed everything around him, desperately searching for traces of William Hand, but only found a ball of air.

He held his head, feeling slightly dizzy.

Between his fingers, he saw fate mocking him in a low voice, and he was grinning wildly:

The Blackest Night is irreversible!

It can only survive safely and cannot be cut off early!

however……

I do not believe!

Atrocitus crushed his steel teeth, and his originally ferocious face became even more terrifying.

……

……

……

"...I already know the secret of life..."

"To understand the seriousness of my mission, you must first know the greatest tragedy that has ever befallen this universe, a crime so shocking and incomprehensible that it has become a legend..."

"...Sector 666 Massacre..."

"...Atrocitus is trying to turn that darkness into his own use and use it against us..."

"The prophecies say that power will be discovered on Earth. I know you don't believe these prophecies, Sinestro, and neither do the Guardians, but I beg you, for the sake of our friendship, believe me, you must stop them. Release this darkness or it will destroy the entire universe..."

As the image of Abin Su disappeared from the air after saying his last words, the three people present were somewhat silent.

Chen Tao kept cursing in his heart.

Hey!

Spectral war! The darkest night!
