[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

In other words, Catherine's dream world is undergoing strange changes beyond his control.

Because the power that controls the dream world discovered Lucifer's usurpation?

Or is the power too weak to resist the clown's crazy infiltration?

Whatever the truth, the situation is spiraling out of control.

I hope Catherine's dream world can hold us back.

After thinking silently, Matthew flew to Catherine, Charlene and the others, and stopped in front of them as a colonel of the Galactic Empire: "Princess Charlene, why did you bring your female slave and your knight to the central tower late at night?"

"I……"

Charlene was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.

Strange took a step forward and defended: "The princess wants to give Catherine a legal identity, so she made an appointment for identity entry tonight."

"Is the Central Tower still working at night?"

"If you have an appointment, you can do it anytime."

Strange's expression was very calm, it seemed that Matthew had misremembered the rules of the central tower.

Of course, if Matthew hadn't been granted some authority to Catherine's dream world by Lucifer, at this time, following Strange's words, the Central Tower would indeed follow Catherine's idea to add the so-called "Princess Charlene's appointment", And add the setting that identity entry can also be performed late at night.

pity--

Catherine's subconscious has lost the authority to modify the settings of the relevant areas of the central tower.

So, just after Strange finished saying these words, the sirens of the central tower rang out overwhelmingly!

Matthew looked at them helplessly: "Since there is an appointment, why did the eviction alarm sound?"

"because--"

Charlene looked embarrassed, looking around for an excuse.

Suddenly, she saw the clown standing at the end of the line, and blurted out: "Who are you! Why are you here!"

"Is he not a member of your team?"

Matthew was surprised...

Charlene was furious: "Colonel! Who do you think I am! This guy looks so suspicious!"

Strange also echoed: "I can swear to God that Charlene and I don't know this person, Catherine should also..."

He was a little unsure.

At this time, the silent clown suddenly let out a strange laugh, his facial features flying wildly, and his miserable green hair fluttered in the wind.

"So that's it! So that's what happened! So I was pulled into someone else's dream! By the way, Matthew, these wings look so good on your back!

Is it limited to the dream world?If you can bring it to the real world, give me one too!In return, I'll treat you to a circus performed by the Justice League, the only circus in the world! "

"Joker, you—"

"I just got sober! I'm sober now!"

The clown laughed wildly, his eyeballs rolling like earthquakes in his eye sockets: "Dream world! Dream world! Beautiful world! Lovely world! A truly free world!"

"What are you doing!"

Matthew exclaimed...

He can now be sure that the clown who appeared in Catherine's dream world is a real clown, and this guy doesn't mind coloring Catherine's dream world with his madness.

The force that brought the clown into Catherine's dream world is either mad or wise!

Matthew thought hurriedly, and shouted at Strange and Charlene: "Stop him! You must stop him! He's a clown! Gotham's scariest lunatic!"

"How could he—"

Before the words finished, Charlene was punched to the ground by the clown, who said innocently and excitedly, "The sense of power in the dream world is exactly the same as that in the real world. It is indeed the dream of the host of Dream Vortex!"

"Clown! Don't mess around! Something goes wrong in this dream world, and the whole world will be involved!"

Strange yelled, trying to stop the clown who was clearly about to try.

However, it was too late.

After discovering that the gravity system in this dream was almost exactly the same as that in the real world, the clown let out an excited cry, then waved his hands and feet indiscriminately, wreaking havoc, as if he had returned to Gotham.

"Stop! Stop!"

Strange was speechless at the clown's wanton behavior.

He tries to stop the Joker, but he knows better that in Catherine's dream world he is an ordinary person without magic.With mediocre physical ability, he couldn't catch up with the dazzling movements of the clown, let alone——

"I'll stop him! You stand here and don't move!"

Matthew spoke and spread his flame wings to chase the excited clown.

He wanted to know the reason and means for the clown to enter the dream world, and his intuition told him that the clown held the key information to make the dream world collapse.

……

As soon as Matthew flew away, Catherine lifted her skirt and tried to climb to a higher place.

Strange stopped her: "Matthew told us to stay where we are, you have to listen to him."

"Listen to him? He is the executioner who slaughtered my people!"

Catherine told Strange in grief and indignation: "I would rather die under the security design of the central tower than accept the executioner's handout!"

"He is not an executioner, he is a soldier, a soldier who obeys orders!"

Strange tried his best to persuade Catherine: "If you must hate, then hate the general who gave the order! Or, if you don't hate him, you are jealous of him, jealous of an invader who can get the recognition of your clan's sacred wings! "

"No! It's not like that! I'm not jealous of him! I'm not!"

Catherine, who was told by Strange, howled in pain.

She was unwilling to accept this fact, but the facts were presented to her again and again.

In anger, she held up her skirt and ran wildly, trying to make her brain forget her panic by running. Unfortunately, at this time, the central tower had already entered the highest alert because of the chasing and fighting between Matthew and the clown, and Catherine quickly paid for her chaos. cost!

Huge roller bearings full of blades appear, blade-blended infrared weapons illuminating Catherine's infiltration and her vitals.

【warn!warn!Level [-] warning! 】

"Catherine! Stop!"

Charlene also shouted behind Catherine: "Don't be impulsive!"

"I'm not impulsive, I'm just... just... I can't control my body!"

Catherine showed a puppet-like expression: "My body is caught by an invisible force, I can't control it! I can't control it at all! It's forcing me to move forward! I...I..."

"Listen to me! Stop! You can! You can control yourself!"

Charlene was so anxious that tears flowed out.

Strange also rushed forward, trying to pull Catherine back from the danger zone.

However, it was too late.

Under the control of the mysterious force, Catherine walked towards the sharp blades and weapons aimed at her whole body in tears, her legs were numb, her body was stiff, and she kept shouting: "I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Someone help me! Help-"

Swish!

At the critical moment, Matthew flapped his wings and flew over from the low altitude, dragging Catherine into the air: "Don't struggle! I just don't want things to develop in a worse direction."

"I...you...you..."

Catherine raised her head and stared at Matthew, her facial features were like puppets and kaleidoscopes, which were ever-changing and very weird.

Matthew knew that these changes were directly related to the power hidden deep in Catherine's dream consciousness.

He decisively took Catherine to a higher level until it was level with the top of the central tower.

The high-altitude cold wind whistled past their ears, and Catherine was terrified: "What are you going to do! Are you going to throw me from a height!"

"I don't want to kill you, but I need something inside you."

Matthew yelled and replied: "Just now there is some kind of power manipulating your body and forcing you to die. Now I want to take this power out of your body!"

"You're talking nonsense! That's not why you took me to the sky! You want to kill me! You want to kill me! Kill me with your own hands!"

"If I was going to kill you, I didn't have to save you just now, did I?"

"No! It's not like that! It's not—"

Before Catherine finished speaking, Matthew had already let go of his hands.

Under the action of gravity, Catherine's body fell rapidly, and she was about to——

Bang!

A force grabbed Catherine.

The girl raised her head, and was about to thank the hero who saved her at a critical moment, but was frightened out of her wits by the clown's heavily made-up and weird face in the next second!

"what--"

"What is it called! I didn't hold you, you are already dead!"

The clown spoke impatiently, shook his hair, and said to Matthew who was flapping his wings and floating in the air: "How are you going to thank me?"

"Why should I thank you?"

"Because without me, this woman would be dead. Of course, I can still let her die now, after all, my name is the clown."

With a smirk, the clown slowly let go of Catherine's hand: "Matthew, let's make a deal! You give up this girl's life, and I'll tell you a secret! A secret about the world!"

"I will not give up her life!"

"Even if you lose the opportunity to spy on the truth of the world?"

The clown looked at Matthew sternly, he had completely let go of Catherine's hand.

Catherine's body fell uncontrollably again.

Matthew immediately didn't care about answering, and chased after vertically falling all the way, before Catherine's body hit the ground——

boom!

Gunshots rang out...

Catherine was shot and fell into Matthew's arms.

The clown casually blew on the smoking muzzle and said, "You shouldn't have rejected me."

"I'm not you, I still have humanity."

Matthew looked at the clown angrily, and emphasized every word: "You completely pissed me off! Just now!"

"Really? I did something to piss you off?"

The clown showed an innocent smile, and then the smile turned ferocious: "Matthew! Have you ever thought about it! Why do I appear here! This is Catherine's dream world!"

"you!"

The clown's words caused Matthew to tremble as if he was being shocked by an electric shock. Immediately afterwards, the broken images that rushed into his mind when Imerton lifted the seal of the ancient Egyptian magic curse flooded Matthew's thinking again.

He began to suffer from excruciating pain.

Catherine's dream world also disintegrated irreversibly along with his severe pain!

The world shatters like a mirror, revealing the pale nature of nothingness.

In nothingness, the countless hands and double faces Charlene had seen appeared again.

Every mouth was murmuring something only a madman could understand.

Every hand is opening and closing gestures, but what is released is all information that no one can understand.

The sky is shattered, the buildings are shattered, and the people walking on the road are shattered.

In the blink of an eye, only Matthew, Strange, Charlene and the clown were left standing in the whiteness.

Catherine did not disappear.

But her "corpse" flew into the air from Matthew's arms, and the fatal wound caused by the clown shot was no longer bleeding, and it was black and full of light.

"It looks like we broke something just now?"

Facing the strange situation, Matthew said helplessly.

Strange was also very helpless, looking at the clown: "You knew from the beginning that this would happen after you killed Catherine?"

"I'm just a lunatic, a sane lunatic!"

The clown still had a nonchalant expression on his face.

Strange: "Hi!"

"what--"

Suddenly, Charlene yelled. She lowered her head and looked at the chest cavity of the black hole: "My body...my body..."

Everyone followed the sound and looked over.

They saw that Charlene's chest had turned into an unfathomable black hole, and in the center of the black hole, a huge vortex was slowly shaking.

Like all the vortexes in the world, the vortex that appeared in the black hole in Charlene's chest also had huge vortex eyes and arms, and was surrounded by countless dust particles that looked like rice grains of pearls.

However, the dust surrounding the black hole in Charlene's chest is not real dust. If you look carefully, you will find that each dust is a person, a person who is sucked into the only eternal dream by the power of the dream whirlpool!

"What should I do now! Will I die!"

Going further than Matthew and Strange, Charlene, who discovered that the people surrounded by the vortex were all town residents, uttered a horrified cry, and then added: "The thing I'm most afraid of right now is actually not death! It's...it's... ...yes...my death won't solve the problem! God! Tell me what to do! How can I save my town! I...I..."

Having said that, the girl burst into tears.

She was very, very scared, afraid of her own death, and even more afraid that her own death would not be able to change the bad situation!

In desperation, she knelt on the ground and prayed in pain, praying that the Lord she believed in could hear her prayers locked in the mysterious space!

however--

"Give up! God doesn't hear your prayers!"

The clown said sarcastically, standing in front of the crying Charlene: "You are a joke, give up everything you have, and become a lunatic like me."

"No... no... I can't... I can't..."

Charlene struggled hard.

She didn't want to listen to the clown's words and give up praying, but at this moment, her heart was surrounded by despair, she couldn't feel the light of hope at all, and she didn't know why she still had to—

"Maybe you're right. God can't hear my prayers. He doesn't want to hear them. He hates me...I'm an illegitimate daughter...a sinful child who shouldn't be born...I..."

Charlene's mood was getting worse and worse, and Matthew saw a black breath emanating from her head.

Catherine, who was suspended high in the entire space, showed a bright smile at this moment.

Her eyes were lifeless white, and her voice was also lifeless.

She stretched out her arms to the desperate Charlene: "Charlene... Come here... Hug your mother... Mom loves you, Mom has always loved you... Mom's arms have the peace you most desire..."

"Mother……"

Charlene, who had never really received maternal love, was bewitched by the word "mother". She slowly raised her head and looked at Catherine hanging high. Her eyes gradually became hollow, and her pupils first expanded and then shrank sharply.

She opened her arms towards Catherine and walked slowly, with a smile that was so happy that it was fake.

Seeing this, Strange rushed over and tried to grab Catherine who was bewitched by the destruction: "Stop! Charlene! She is not your mother! Your mother is still waiting for you to wake up in the real world! Standing in front of you and calling your mother!" Thing is a demon masquerading as your mother!"

"He's not a demon, he's—"

Matthew corrected Strange's statement: "Desire! To be precise, it is the afterimage of desire left in Catherine's body!"

"Desire? The afterimage left in Catherine's body? What's going on here?"

Strange became more and more confused as he listened.

Matthew had no time to explain to Strange at this time.

He must stop Charlene, stop the dream whirlpool in Charlene's body from combining with the afterimage of desire!

"Clown! Do me a favor!"

Matthew shouted to the clown who was ready to watch the whole process with an excited expression on his face: "You can ask me anything afterwards!"

"Any request?"

The clown's expression was unusually excited.

Matthew: "Yes, any request is fine!"

"Okay! You made an offer you couldn't refuse!"

The clown walked up to Matthew unsteadily: "What do you want me to do?"

"Eat what desire left in Catherine's body!" Matthew said, "You are a madman, and you are the only creature on the scene that will not be controlled by desire!"

"Really? A madman won't be controlled by desire?"

The clown licked his lips greedily: "I'm a madman, but I'm also a slave to desire, I can't—"

"Then use your endless crazy desire for Batman to devour the afterimage left in Catherine's body!" Matthew said hastily, "The nature of desire likes to devour other desires, doesn't it?"

"What you said makes sense."

The clown shook his body, walked under Catherine, smiled and said to the monster named Catherine: "Hey, I'm a clown, are you interested in merging with me? There are many, many craziness and desires in my body, more than this A woman who has slept with her for 20 years is much more interesting!"

【To shut up! 】

Something inside Catherine roared.

The clown didn't care about this, and continued to stand under Catherine and chatter endlessly.

At this moment, Charlene is only one step away from accepting "Catherine"'s hug, as long as this step--

"Stop!"

Matthew swooped in, knocked Charlene down, and threw her to Strange: "Do your best to control her, no matter how painful she is, please don't let go! Also, what you see next is related to me Please treat it as a dream! After waking up from the dream, forget it all! Remember!"

While speaking, Matthew's body began to mutate.

The light of the flame wings enveloped the whole body, turning him into Pyroman.

Moreover, the flames burned more and more intensely, and the light and heat released filled the entire space.

Sudden--

The flames split!

A surreal creature with four faces was revealed, wrapped around the neck by countless overlapping and chaotic blood-red wings.

Strange's eyes widened.

He saw the four faces of surreal creatures, namely the wise King Solomon whose hair and beard were covered with balm; Feathered serpents with obvious serpentine features on their faces and—

A mummy wearing a dark gold mask engraved with ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs!

Matthew is this guy crazy!

Gather so much power into yourself at the same time!

Aren't you afraid that your will will be swallowed by these different types of magical power? !

Strange thought tremblingly.

Of the four godly faces that Matthew summoned, the one that struck Strange the most was the face of a mummy wearing a dark gold mask.

Although the other three faces were frightening, Strange at least dared to look at their faces and guess their original identities, except for the mummy wearing the dark mask——

Just by glancing at it, Strange felt a chill from his soul.

He didn't even know if it was the mummy itself or the mummy's dark gold mask that was chilling him.

He only knows that from now on, he must keep Matthew's request in mind, assist Matthew, and forget everything after the matter is over!

Only in this way can we guarantee that the world is still the original world!

……

At the same time, Justice League headquarters.

"The clown's life data is falling rapidly? Is this guy really just asleep? What's going on!"

Luther looked displeasedly at the report of the medical AI and the clown lying in the instrument with a pale face like a corpse that had been placed in the morgue for a month, and complained: "Joker, you have enjoyed the thrill of rubbing shoulders with death all your life, But this time, things got completely out of control."

"What do you mean?"

Superman asked Luthor puzzled.

Luthor said: "His consciousness has entered the Chaos Zone. If he doesn't come back on time, he will die, and the demon that swallowed his crazy will will occupy his body."

"Isn't he a fellow on par with a demon?"

The Flash was surprised.

After all, he lives in Midtown, a sunny city where even the villains are as simple and unpretentious as the rogue gang, not Gotham, where there is no sunshine all year round, and a metropolis where buildings and bridges collapse every day.

The sunshine and kindness of Midtown made Flash feel from the bottom of his heart that Gotham villains headed by the Joker are synonymous with demons.

"No matter what Barry thinks, in short, if the clown can't come back in his original form this time, the world will have to face a truly dark future."

Luthor looked at The Flash with pity, and then said to Batman, "Bruce, would you like to go into consciousness and save the Joker?"

"you!"

Batman's voice was full of anger and surprise.

Luther added: "I know this request is too much, but the fact is that now, except for you, no one has the ability to bring the clown back! In order to prevent the world from falling into the most complete darkness, you are willing to temporarily put down your Angry to realize the world save the clown?"

"you……"

Luther's explanation softened Batman's voice a little.

After a little thought, he asked Luthor, "It must be me?"

"Yes, you are the only one."
