Dark, damp, inexplicable noise. After Alfred opened his eyes, the first thing he faced was these nasty things.
However, he didn't care about these. What concerned him more was where he was.
And, what is the thing on his chest that is firmly attached to the outside of his heart.
When he stretched out his hand to knock on the lid-like object, the mud adsorbed on his chest was really mud, and some of it had the same texture as plasticine.
How weak.
But when Alfred tried to pull this disgusting thing from his heart, it became hard and sharp, like a living creature, stretching out a long and sharp thing on his heart. Claws with hooked feet and sharp blades.
Even if Alfred had the full courage to endure the pain and other possible repercussions, he gave up on the idea after several attempts.
will die.
If you want to tear that thing off with brute force, you have to dig out your own heart.
…
This is a dungeon.
Although there was no light or sound, Alfred relied on his own experience, the subtle sound similar to white noise, and the humid environment to determine his location.
only……
This place did not seem to be a regular space. Alfred did not find artificial doors, windows, or walls anywhere.
This seems to be a naturally occurring cave.
And the export...
Alfred looked up. After groping in the darkness for a long time, his eyes had adapted to the darkness.
But he still couldn't see clearly the light above his head. In other words, there was no light at all above his head.
But that doesn't seem to make sense.
Unless, unless the person who kidnapped him here is not a "person". But a disgusting monster.
Knocking the mud on his heart again, Alfred vaguely remembered what happened before he passed out. He remembered that he seemed to be wrapped in such mud, and then fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen.
"So, I was kidnapped. I was kidnapped from my own home. It's really humbling.
Well, I still have to admit that I am very old. "
Alfred continued to explore this small space without any panic or any frustration caused by being in a crisis and unable to save himself.
Alfred was a strong man. This was not something he boasted about, but an assessment made by everyone who knew him well.
After confirming that he seemed to be involved in some "supernatural events," Alfred first determined the fact that he might not be able to defeat the opponent.
Then, he confirmed another fact: Master Wayne will definitely have a way.
Clark has it too.
Lynn has it too.
So, what else is there to worry about.
Alfred may not know much about the others, but for these three, he has absolute confidence.
According to Lynn's joke at a party, if Clark wanted to, he could even mash the earth into a ball, knead it into powder, and then roll it into a ball again.
Who knows, maybe that’s how the dinosaurs became extinct.
Alfred didn't care about the dating of civilization, prehistoric humans, and various archaeological matters, nor did he care about how the dinosaurs became extinct. He didn't even care about whether he was safe.
He just felt that this time, he seemed to be embarrassed in front of old Kent.
Clark and Master Wayne have enough credibility to be trusted by others, but Lynn...
He will definitely say it.
He would take the initiative to say it, add words to it, go there with great fanfare, wear a loudspeaker, print it as a leaflet, and pay a TV station to broadcast it in turn...
The title is: Alfred's self-rescue journey in the mud puddle after he was captured by the mud.
There is no doubt that Linn can definitely do such a thing.
"Oh my god..."
At this moment, Alfred, who was not afraid of darkness, death, or even spiders, finally became afraid.
He eagerly began to seek self-rescue. While he was sweating, he was still muttering: "Don't let Lin En find me first. Don't let Lin En find me first. Don't let Lin En find me first. Don't..."
"You seem to not understand your situation."
The sound was obviously very loud, filling the entire space, but it sounded inexplicably low and unclear.
Alfred saw the "wall" in front of him twisting, deforming, and gradually rising. Under the not very clear light, it gradually took on a clear shape.
It was a person, nearly three meters tall, with human limbs that were not very coordinated.
Then, Alfred saw the man step out from the wall.
stood in front of him.
It was at this time that there was light in the empty cave.
What an ugly person that is...
Even Alfred, who had good education and moral standards, had to admit that this guy was a bit ugly.
Blue-black, long, arthropod-like feet, looking like a praying mantis or something else. The huge belly is covered with yellow-brown raised spots. The sternum with distinct bony protrusions is less than one-third the size of the belly, and has a slender centipede-like neck with a dog head.
And his hands were like mud, connecting to the wall while lowering the mud spots.
Alfred suddenly felt sick.
This made him a little frustrated. He originally thought that his moral standards should be higher.
"You should let me go, seriously."
Alfred organized his thoughts and calmly began to "negotiate" with the other party.
He knocked on his chest again, made a dull voice, and said loudly: "I don't know what you want, or what considerations you have to catch me here. However, that is not wise.
Trust me, you still have a chance to regret it now. "
"Human, I don't need you to teach me how to do things. Now, kneel down! You should respect me and kneel down in the dust humbly and recite my god's name!"
"Hmm...Okay. So, what is your god's name?"
silence.
There was a long silence.
Until the dog-headed god looked at his body, his arms, and his weird body.
He seemed to be saying to himself: "I was once a god, yes, I should be a god.
Time... is a ruthless thing, a terrible thing.
I seem to have forgotten why I became like this. I seem to have forgotten who I am.
Human, you should call me: Hermo. "
"Okay, Hermo, you should let go..."
"Shut up! Human! I told you, you are not qualified!"
Alfred has ample experience in communicating with mental patients, whether he has mania, split personality, intermittent psychosis...
They are all minor problems.
Alfred had experienced the situation of communicating with Batman and Lynn at the same time more than once.
what is this.
Small scene.
…
"you."
The god who claims to be Hermo, let’s just call him a god.
He stretched out his arm and touched Alfred's heart.
"You can't leave here. Not until that human named Lynn gives me what I need."
Alas, it turned out to be Lynn.
I don't know why, but after hearing these words, Alfred felt a little pity for this god.
Originally, Alfred had deduced that since this incident involved a supernatural event, there was a high probability that it would not be caused by him or Master Wayne.
As we all know, in Gotham, everyone plays with their brains. Even if some props and technologies are used, they are basically the result of inventions, scientific achievements, or laboratory accidents.
For supernatural events, since no one can be found to take the blame. Then it's most likely Linn's fault.
After all, as the saying goes, if anything involving Lin En is unreasonable, it will be reasonable.
"I still suggest you, um...get some money and buy it with Linn. I'm serious. This is more reliable than what you do."
Alfred was still trying to persuade the other party sincerely.
"If Lynn finds me, really..."
Alfred didn't say any more, but he knew in his heart that he didn't feel like he was really safe.
Maybe it's possible that Linn blew it up when he got excited.
"Ah."
Helmo held out his hand, or perhaps more appropriately a paw.
He held Alfred up and placed it on the front of his dog's head. Only then did Alfred see the other half of the other person's head.
It's all rotten.
“That human named Linn, of course he won’t find it here.
Because I will go to him first.
Go to him with one ear and one arm. "
"well……"
Alfred sighed, not knowing whether he was sighing for himself or for the other person.
"I think you……"
"Ah. Found it."
In the cave, another voice suddenly came to mind.
Being pinched in the hands of the rotten god, Alfred, who had always been calm and composed, suddenly changed his face when he heard this voice.
not good!
Lynn got me!
…………
This is indeed a cave.
A natural cave transformed with special divine power.
Alfred's friends are looking for clues about him in various places, but it is not so easy to find a person who is deliberately hidden.
So, Linn's clones came up with a good idea.
They were divided into groups, belonging to various powerful people, and conducted carpet-like searches by dividing areas.
Kryptonians have super hearing. Lynn's clone, who is in the group with Fiora and Clark, throws bombs in piles, and the two can hear the echo.
Old Bat has the power of technology and the power of money. The clones who teamed up with Batman were each equipped with professional equipment in the shortest possible time, from infrared to thermal sensors, from search and rescue dogs to sonar.
Diana can sense divine power, and the avatars in her group will self-dedicate in various ways, "dedicating" one every certain area. After the divine power overflows, Diana will judge the degree and direction of the flow of divine power.
The most interesting one is Brother Martian.
He knows a little bit about everything, and also has the ability to connect mentally, so he directly used Lin En's clone as a signal amplifier, and through the bombardment of various psychic bombs, he swept through the hills and streams in patches...
Finally, in a certain place, in the area responsible for a certain avatar, I encountered an interesting clue.
After this place was swept away by the psychic bomb, the attack was eliminated and the assimilation disappeared.
So, the clone directly activated his skills and started running around the mountain. After discovering a large hole, he only thought for 0.001 seconds before jumping in.
Lin En's clone, he wouldn't admit that he didn't stop and fell.
Then……
Then he hung on a rock and climbed down.
Alfred was found deep in the cave and captured by a big monster.
"Ah. Found it."
After saying this, the clone cleared his throat, raised his neck and shouted: "Come on, come on -! Alfred was held in the palm of the monster's hand, and he was about to lose his precious things - —!!”
Damn it...
It doesn't matter who almost yelled.
The important thing is that one second after the clone shouted, Brother Martian fell from the sky.
Two seconds later, Diana fell from the clouds.
After another second, Fiora appeared.
Then, Superman came too.
"Al!"
After Dachao saw the monster, he punched the ground directly.
Alfred soon saw the live version of the performance that Lynn said [Punch the earth in half].
A wide gap opened in the solid ground, and there was a sound like metal tearing from the edge of the cave that Alfred could not destroy. It was torn to pieces and dismembered.
Alfred saw the pre-dawn night sky again.
"etc!"
"Don't do it directly."
Just when Da Chao was about to rush over, Brother Martian and Diana spoke out at the same time, stopping Da Chao.
In the cave diagonally below... On the platform, the ugly monster reached out and grabbed Alfred to block it in front of him. They could clearly see that there was another beating "heart" at Alfred's heart.
A heart made of mud.
They didn't know what it was, but it was about Alfred's life.
Don't act rashly.
Divided into four sides, Clark and others directly surrounded the monster.
Brother Martian tried to use his spiritual abilities to influence the other party, but the other party's chaotic divine power and equally chaotic thinking made him unable to do anything.
Suddenly, everyone including Diana, who saw the true face of this monster for the first time, was caught in a dilemma.
At this time, Batman was driving the car and was late.
"what do you want."
Batman was the last to come in, but he entered the situation directly and seamlessly.
"That human named Linn. He has what I want."
"Is it that stone slab, or that sword?"
"No. Stupid! It's a ring! A ring! You can't fool me! I want his ring!"
Batman was about to speak out. He would first lie to the opponent to stabilize him, and then deceive him again to buy some time. Then he would get a fake ring to try. If that didn't work, he would use Lynn's clone to deceive him or something.
Before he could start his righteous attack to rescue his righteous partners, the sky was almost white, and it seemed...
Backed up a bit.
The shadow instantly enveloped the earth and disappeared in an instant.
When the light appeared again, there was already one more person in the field without realizing it.
Even Brother Martian and Clark didn't notice that Linn actually stood between them.
broken.
Except for the monster, everyone present had such a sentence in their minds at the same time.
"Al."
Linn also got into the role very quickly and smoothly.
He stood there and said coldly: "Do you believe me?"
Alfred was stunned, and Linn spoke again: "Okay."
What good?
what's good?
Why is it fine?
boom!
There was a gunshot.
Alfred was shot in the chest.
boom!
boom! boom! boom!
"call."
Lynn blew on the gun.
Slowly "draw" a big sword from the palm of his hand.
"Now, you have no hostages~
Am I~~pretty——! !
Call me—!
Don't beat it too much! I also want to make soup for Al to drink! "
For some reason, everyone seemed to see the "dead" Alfred twitching.
Maybe, it's an illusion.
Hmm... it must be an illusion.
Will resume normal updates and pay off debt tomorrow.
Currently I owe three chapters of monthly passes plus updates, from last month. I will slowly change it over the next few days.
