Chapter 146 Funeral
Gotham always seems to be cloudy and rainy, and rain and shadows are the constant style of this city.

It didn't rain in Gotham today.

The dark clouds that covered the sky dissipated, and the warm sunshine fell into Gotham, which looked so ordinary, like a quiet small town. Although it was not raining, the pedestrians on the street still held up umbrellas, but not to block the sun.

The crowd holding umbrellas merged into black rivers, and the front of the river was the convoy of the Gotham police. Everyone followed the team silently.

Commissioner Gordon was walking in front of the convoy. He had a cigarette in his mouth, but he didn't light it. Even though Barbara specially left him cigarettes and alcohol today, Gordon still didn't drink at all, because Qin Su didn't like him smoking and drinking.

Seeing this increasingly large team, gangsters with a little seniority understand what is going on. When a policeman dies, the local police station will organize a send-off rally, and any citizen can participate, but such a large-scale one, even if It was the first time I saw the old people in the gang, and they all chose to avoid it. Even if the gangs were fighting, the two sides tacitly ceased fire and remained silent.

The Seven Seas Gang even released a message that any gang that tries to cause trouble today will be regarded as an enemy by the Seven Seas Gang. This speech was interpreted by the gangsters as a move by the Seven Seas Gang to declare their right to speak. Many people threatened to give Aum a A lesson, but just as they boasted, they were swallowed by the wild flowers on the roadside.

In fact, Aum is a moderate.

There were also some irrational lunatics and ignorant youths who took to the streets to make trouble, but they were quickly and quietly resolved by the special operations team. The biggest feature of this team is that everyone fights with cold weapons.

They followed the convoy, and anyone who tried to obstruct or cause trouble was knocked out and tortured away by them. In the past, they would verbally warn them three times. Today, they did not say a word during the whole process. If there is a threat, they will try their best to eliminate the threat, and will not give the criminal any opportunity for justification.

Some citizens did not understand why there was such a big battle, and chose to call the city government directly to complain about the impact on traffic. The replies they received were all "a legal assembly certified by the mayor. If you have any opinions, go to impeach the mayor."

In the mayor's office, the Penguin who had just taken office was standing by the window, watching the black river converging outside, he habitually lit a cigar.

"The umbrella is broken, I can make a new one, the sword is broken, where can I find a new replacement?"

Penguin is not sad, he is not a sentimental person, after becoming the mayor of Gotham, Penguin set his sights on the whole country, and he discovered some small actions of the Federation against Gotham.

The best way to remember a person is to keep the career he dedicated his life to.

Maybe the penguin is a little sad.

As the convoy moved on, Gordon's mind was withdrawn from the past, and he keenly noticed that something is different in Gotham today... It's flowers!
There are flowers everywhere. The streets and alleys of Gotham are full of flowers. No matter what kind of flowers they are, they are trying their best to bloom themselves. Today's Gotham is full of flowers.

Finally, the convoy arrived at its destination, a cemetery on the outskirts of Gotham. The police carried a coffin and put it into a pre-dug grave.

Gordon watched the loess bury the coffin bit by bit. He knew that the coffin was empty, and there was no corpse in it, only some daily clothes. In the East, this is called a cloak mound.

This is also what Qin Su's parents meant. They insisted that Qin Su was not dead, refused to attend the funeral, and only allowed a tomb to be erected.

Gordon also had a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe Qin Su didn't, maybe tomorrow, that outstanding young man would imitate Batman and suddenly appear from behind him.

Thinking of Batman, Gordon couldn't help but look around. Is he here? Someone at the funeral for Qin Su was the Dark Knight of Gotham. He recalled his past with this young man, Do you feel sad.

Whether Batman came or not, Gordon didn't know, but some people did.

The fighter clown didn't wear black clothes, he was still wearing the classic purple suit, and he was smiling, as if he was defying the funeral.

Gordon noticed that the clown's corsage was gone, and there was an acid flower that would never fade in front of the tombstone.

Wonder Woman stands behind the Joker to the right, and Superman stands beside her, putting his arms around her.

"He saved the world again, Diana, and again, you know what I'm thinking? I think he's just superhuman.

He did a good job, better than us, but why..."

While talking, Superman began to cry, and Wonder Woman patted his back with her hands, persuading him: "Don't be sad, he may just fall into a certain time and space, and he will come back soon, maybe when he will come back again." Will summon the Justice League to other worlds.

So don't be sad, the alliance must be ready to fight at any time! "

The divine power of the God of War is quietly affecting Wonder Woman, arousing the warlike instinct of the Amazons.

Green Lantern Hal put a black trench coat on himself to cover his green uniform, lest he be out of tune with other people like a clown.

When Hal presented flowers, he put down a bouquet from an alien: "More than a month ago, Wonder Woman asked me to introduce you to the Guardian, I think you are exaggerating.

Now I take that back, you deserve a green light ring, and if you can come back, you'll be promoted from city cop to cosmic cop. "

Among all the alliance members, only Barry attended the funeral with his real identity. He looked at Qin Su's tombstone and put down a carnation.

"You said that if you want to catch the Flash with me, you can't break your promise."

Barry looked haggard, and the hands that put the flowers were shaking. This is a symptom of excessive use of the Speed ​​Force. He has been searching for Qin Su's missing location for three days in the Speed ​​Force state.

Behind the steel frame and Neptune took turns to present flowers, without much words.

A petite figure quietly appeared in the crowd. She was wearing a hood, and she opened and closed her lips to quickly recite a spell. The invisible magic was released, and her brows were slightly frowned.

If someone gets close to her, she can hear her whispering: "I still haven't found the soul, where is it?"

Constantine confirmed with Heaven that Qin Su's soul is not in Heaven, not because Qin Su is not qualified, the Archangel Michael went to pick Qin Su up in person, but found nothing.

After confirming that there was nothing he wanted here, Raven didn't stay for too long, but only glanced at Qin Su's tombstone from a distance, then turned and left.

Ravens are birds of death in the West, implying ominous doom, so sometimes ravens doubt themselves whether they bring bad luck to those around them.

She pulled down the hood, and the two pointed horns extended accordingly, and the six eyes lit up with eternal fire, and a dimensional rift opened, facing the scarlet hell

Neither heaven nor earth can be found, so Raven decided to go back to hell. Hell is a dimension infinitely wider than the earth. Looking for a person's soul there is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

She needs an army, an army of hell.

The flowers and plants in Gotham watched every move of everyone in the city, naturally including Raven's. Ivy watched Raven leave, and she lowered her head in disappointment.

"You can't find him either..."

Ivy never thought that one day she would look forward to seeing Qin Su beside Raven, but even such a humble thought has become a luxury.

Picking up the silver bell hanging around her neck, Ivy shook it gently, listening to the crisp ringing, again and again, but the ringing could not soothe her grief.

Ai Wei hated herself. If she could be stronger, would she be able to help Qin Su?
(Do you think so, Ivy.)
The same voice as Ivy sounded in her heart.

(If this is the case, come to me, I have a way to make you stronger than Superman, stronger than Raven... Actually, this is what Qin Su thought of.)
The last sentence touched Ivy, and she agreed to her other self without hesitation.

"Tell me how."

(Qin Su brought back all the original power from another world. Although it is a very small part, they will gradually recover with the prosperity of the secret realm.)
The Forest Secret Realm already has the rudimentary form of the world. When the junction jumps from the demiplane to an independent world, the two-in-one existence of Poison Ivy and Ivy will also gain the authority to create the world.

Of course, this road is very long, and it will take a long time to settle.

So Poison Ivy decided to cut off the link between the secret realm and this world. In this way, the time flow of the two will lose synchronization. The forest secret realm is like a kite with a disconnected string, and begins a drifting journey. When it returns again, perhaps the main universe has already disappeared. It's been a sea of ​​vicissitudes, or maybe... only one day has passed.

At night, the funeral was over, the crowd dispersed, the tombstone was flooded with bouquets of flowers, a door opened out of thin air, and Constantine, wearing a yellow trench coat, walked out from inside. He didn't taunt the tombstone, saying, "You're not really dead, are you?" , no way no way."

Because he was holding the hand of a little girl.

Constantine put a white rose in the girl's hand: "Go, little Astra, and give him this flower."

The little girl walked forward clumsily. She had just returned to the human world from the hands of the devil, and felt uncomfortable with everything in front of her, but she still firmly completed the task Constantine gave her.

The moonlight was shining on the white rose, little Astra raised her head, and she pointed to the starry night sky: "Dad, there are monsters!"

Constantine didn't correct her address, bent down to hug her, and swept the tip of her nose with his finger: "That's not a monster, that's an elf. It's him who drives away the dark clouds so that we can see the moon and the starry sky."

Groudon stands on a rock created by primordial power, and Supergirl sits on his shoulders.

"Is Manafei still in the sea?"

"Roar."

"She is a stubborn child, she won't listen to persuasion, don't worry, Aquaman promised that the people of Atlantis will protect her."

"Roar."

"Yeah, that's looking for a needle in a haystack."

A black shadow streaked across the sky, leaving a bat-shaped shadow clearly under the moonlight.

Neither Batman nor Bruce attended Qin Su's funeral. The alliance was puzzled by this, but he didn't try to explain, let alone give the alliance a chance to communicate.

There is almost no crime in Gotham tonight, but Batman is like a ghost, wandering around his city, and no one knows what he is doing, not even his own son Robin Damian.

He just moved from one part of the city to another, the police station, the aquarium, and his abandoned safe house.

Finally, Batman arrived at the last location of the trip - Wayne Manor.

"Master Bruce, you are back."

Alfred was waiting for his master in the Batcave as usual. Batman took off his uniform and handed it to the butler, and went upstairs alone without saying a word. Alfred understood that it was not Bruce who took off his mask, but Batman put on a mask, a mask called "Bruce Wayne".

Entering Wayne's mansion, Batman walked directly towards the collection room. He passed the hall, where the latest hot news was being played.

[With regard to the global wireless communication interruption three days ago, experts have given a scientific explanation. The cause is likely to be an electromagnetic storm caused by atmospheric pollution under the action of sunspots. The black clouds in the sky at that time are evidence. The White House spokesman said in the Pentagon Claims to increase environmental penalties for developing countries and promote global low-carbon life...]

It has been three days since the Holy Lord attacked the White House, and the media from all sides have expressed their opinions, pulling out a lot of "insider leaks" and explaining the disaster from various directions. There are also those who proclaim the coming of the end.

The truth is gradually buried in the mouths of everyone, which is why Batman remains silent around the clock. He is tracking down the hidden things behind Qin Su's "death", and everything else is interference.

His last stop was the collection room of Wayne Manor. According to Alfred's description, it was here that Qin Su transformed into a dragon and soared into the air.

Batman folded his cloak and stood in the slightly messy collection room. He was the one who asked Alfred to maintain the scene.

"Ah Fu said that the whole room was glowing with golden light and accompanied by waves of heat. He couldn't stand it and left the collection room. During this period, Qin Su stayed [alone] in this room."

Harley Quinn's apartment, Gordon's room, and Batman's ransacked safehouse were all places where Qin Su stayed alone, and in these places, Batman found some things left by Qin Su.

The first is a notebook, which records Qin Su's experience of police work, which was found from the room of Gordon's house.

On the 5th floor of Harley Quinn's apartment, Batman found a plan, and Qin Su drew a blueprint for Gotham's future, including the release of Pokémon-related games, adding a youthful atmosphere to Gotham ; Cooperate with Ivy to promote the construction of a green and civilized city; Integrate the underground world of Gotham with Orm, Joker and others; Harvey is in charge of the court, Falcone is in charge of the Black Gate Prison, improving the legal trial and punishment system...

Qin Su put forward many ideas to change Gotham from various aspects of culture, economy, politics and law. He has also implemented his plan, and Gotham is now thriving.

But at the end of the planning book, Qin Su marked each blueprint with a big "?".

"Qin Su denied all his plans, and some of them have already been proven feasible."

Even the completed Gotham New District, Qin Su also rejected it, Batman was puzzled.

He searched the entire collection room, but couldn't find the next notebook or diary, not even a single piece of paper.

Batman can only rethink: "I have to change my thinking. At that time, Qin Su just woke up from the body of the Holy Lord. He was unable to write. In that state, what method would he use to leave messages..."

magic!

This is the only way Qin Su can leave a message, and it is also the message Qin Su left to Batman.

Every blueprint on the planning book has a question mark, and "magic" is the answer.

Batman stared intently at the sky outside the window.

Gotham has always been breeding evil. Batman once thought it was because of the environment, so he has been trying to use Bruce Wayne's identity to change Gotham.

And Qin Su helped Batman eliminate all wrong answers, economic, cultural, political and legal, and all plans to change Gotham will fail, which means that the root cause of the problem is not here!

There's something standing in the way of Gotham's transformation for the better, something that's silent, undetectable, unexplainable by science...it's magic!

Gotham's bright side has improved, but the dark side still exudes a decadent atmosphere. Even if Qin Su mixes "good villains" into it, it can't be corrected.

Why did the Lord choose Gotham?Because here lies the deepest evil in the DC universe.

……

On the wall of origin, a pair of eyes twinkling like stars blinked, and in his hands as broad as a starry sky, he held a pipe of unknown material.

"He slipped away, is there someone to meet [outside]..."

He looked far into the distance, his eyes pierced through dimensions and time and space, and along the broken pipe, he saw a door.

A recently erected door to the "outside".

——End of the second volume "Dragon and Tiger".

 DC is temporarily finished, and the journey of Marvel will start tomorrow!
