Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 168 Finally Knowing Which World This Is
It seems like he wants to talk to himself.

But Du Mu had no interest in talking to the clowns.

Anyway, once they open their mouths, all they can come up with are some hilarious and unfunny jokes.

If the clown's jokes were one-tenth the level of the hell jokes, Du Mu would still be somewhat interested in listening to them.

Unfortunately, the so-called jokes of the clowns are always nothing more than putting others in danger and then enjoying other people's worries and fears.

It's like someone showing you a picture of a dead body and then laughing to themselves.

This is not a hell joke, man, there is only hell, no joke.

Therefore, Du Mu had never liked clowns since he had seen related works in his previous life, and naturally had no interest in communicating with them.

At this time, Du Mu also remembered the electrical signals continuously emitted by the clowns' heart devices.

Du Mu controlled a little bit of electromagnetic force, which took over the electrical signals. Then, in the astonished eyes of the clowns, the red magic power also enveloped them.

With a bang, all the clowns were wrapped by Du Mu in the homemade crematorium.

Apparently, these clowns didn't expect that they would die without even being able to utter a word.

This method of killing was so neat and efficient that after Jason's initial shock and panic, he felt a weird cartoon feeling.

It was like watching death in a cartoon... no blood or struggle, just disappearing cleanly from the world.

Jason swallowed, unable to believe it, but then he thought that the other person seemed to be Batman's teacher or something like that.

That doesn't seem strange.

It turns out that Batman is so powerful because he has a teacher who knows magic?

If I learn it, wouldn't I be as omnipotent as Batman?

Du Mu looked down at the wastewater treatment pool below and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why did the Joker lock all the hostages here... The original Joker was not the Red Hood, so he should have no feelings of remembrance for this place.

According to the Penguin, this clown keeps talking about "audience" and "stage", and has a clear actor's mindset, which complements his identity as a frustrated talk show host.

However, the Joker is not Deadpool and should not have the ability to break the fourth wall, but his words hinted at the existence of Paradise Island and Atlantis... How did he know all this?
Du Mu remembered the Superman logo he saw on the central computer when he went to the Batcave.

Batman learned all the information about the Justice League in the parallel world through the Court of Owls.

And the Court of Owls possesses a defective version of the Dionysus Factor that can revive the Claw...

Did it end up being the Court of Owls again?

After much thought, they are the only source from which the Joker can obtain relevant information.

I hope Bruce's trip to Greece will be fruitful.

And Du Mu now has to follow the clowns' telegram signals to find the bomb.

Du Mu just looked at Jason beside him, and Jason met Du Mu's gaze, feeling a little puzzled.

The kid had no family, lived in a dangerous neighborhood, and had just been kidnapped by a clown.

According to the Joker's character, if he knew someone would save Jason, he would definitely kidnap him a second time.

So Du Mu simply said to Jason: "I am going to dismantle the bombs that the clowns have placed in the city. Do you want to come with me? Just take it as a ride."

Jason was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Du Mu meant, he immediately nodded frantically and said excitedly: "Of course I do!"

Du Mu smiled slightly, took a step forward, and stepped on a colorful auspicious cloud.

"Come up."

Jason looked at the cloud that appeared out of nowhere and thought it was extremely beautiful...

It doesn't seem like something that would exist in Gotham at all.

Du Mu sensed Jason's emotions and shook his head slightly.

It’s just that the lower class of Gotham doesn’t exist... the upper class of Gotham is naturally as prosperous as it can be.

----

Jason soon discovered this as well.

When he arrived in heaven, he was surprised to find that... Gotham was not as bleak as he had imagined.

On the contrary, Gotham is brighter and brighter than the stars in the sky.

But all these prosperity do not belong to the neighborhood where I live...

Even though this was the place where he had lived for more than ten years, Jason was dazzled by the complex lights and couldn't find its location.

This is true even for the indigenous people, let alone others.

Du Mu didn't care about Jason's slight shock and confusion, he had already started to dismantle the bomb.

If Jason followed Batman, he would probably see scenes like those in a spy movie, sneaking into various corners, finding bombs, and defusing them nervously.

But following Du Mu... was like sitting on the clouds, watching Du Mu float to a place, raise his hand, and then a bunch of black parts flew out from inexplicable corners.

At the same time, in a corner that Jason can't see, there will be a clown who is wrapped in magic power and burned while screaming.

Du Mu frowned slightly. These clowns were also the prisoners who escaped from Arkham Asylum... The clowns actually infected so many people.

No, let alone them, even the Joker that Batman arrested for the first time might not be the real one.

We have to find a way to target all those infected by the Joker.

Hmm...it seems that it is not impossible.

At this time, Jason finally couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Du Mu...Excuse me, can I learn from you?"

Du Mu raised his eyebrows. Batman’s Robin wanted to learn from him?

This is not a matter of generations.

Of course, Jason has not yet been accepted as Robin by Batman, so it doesn’t seem to matter.

As for whether Jason could learn from him... Du Mu thought about it carefully and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

But in this case, Du Mu looked at Jason and said, "Jason, if you want to become my disciple, I have to explain in advance... You may have to follow me and leave Gotham to study far away. Can you accept it?"

Jason was stunned, then asked cautiously, "That's it?"

Du Mu smiled and said, "Of course not only that, you also have to respect your teachers and respect morality, and you can't commit adultery, robbery, or other crimes. But this shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

Jason puffed up his chest and said firmly, "Of course! I will never go along with those bastards! And I don't have any family or friends in Gotham..."

Jason hesitated slightly when he said this.

Du Mu felt Jason's emotions, and combined with the information revealed in Jason's previous words, he roughly guessed that Jason actually still had some friends.

But most likely they have gone to the school sponsored by the Wayne Group, and Jason couldn't adapt to campus life, and without his parents to help him deal with many troubles, he returned to the streets.

"So, it doesn't matter even if I go somewhere far away. I have no feelings for Gotham."

Jason said so.

Du Mu nodded slightly. Although he could hear the slight insincerity in his words, he could roughly feel Jason's determination.

"Okay, but not tonight. I'm going to hunt down all the people infected with the Joker virus and completely eradicate this cancer from this world, so I'd better put you in a safe place first."

Jason was stunned, and then a feeling of anxiety suddenly rose up.

Du Mu raised his eyebrows. This emotion… He already understood what this feeling was when he was collecting information about the streets of Gotham.

This child has separation anxiety after only being in contact for a short time.

It is understandable. After all, he is a child who has just been kidnapped and has no relatives.

Seeing Jason pursing his lips slightly, gritted his teeth, suppressing his separation anxiety, and agreeing with Du Mu's words, he found it a little funny.

So Du Mu changed the subject: "Of course, if you are brave and not afraid of seeing the killing... it is not impossible to take you with me."

Jason's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but said anxiously, "Really? I'm not afraid! I've seen too many dead people, how could I be afraid of this!"

These words made Du Mu's eyes move slightly, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch Jason's head.

Although this little guy is in good health, his living environment is quite poor.

Although he had a very difficult life in his previous life, at least he didn't have to worry about safety. Even if there was bullying in the welfare home, it was invisible and there was no risk of injury.

However, this young man grew up in an environment almost surrounded by bullets and shells.

This gave him a certain extraordinary resilience, but also made him mentally fragile to a certain extent.

But Du Mu knew the history of the parallel world, and understood that even if the boy was tortured to death and abandoned by the people he trusted the most, he would still be a man with justice in his heart after he grew up and returned... it's just that his methods would be a little more violent than the current Batman.

Thinking that the Batman from other worlds didn't seem to care much about his second-generation Robin, Du Mu kidnapped him with peace of mind.

"Okay, then you stay with me tonight and act with me."

As he spoke, Du Mu closed his eyes, put his fingers together, and made sword gestures.

Then... a ball of golden light that even Jason could see with the naked eye slowly floated out from Du Mu's third eye.

Du Mu stretched out his other hand, which was empty at first, and then he flipped his hand and a stack of envelopes appeared like a magician changing poker cards.

He opened his eyes and smiled gently.

"Send a letter to the clown in my mind... Of course, it's not an admission letter from Hogwarts, but a letter from the King of Hell."

As Du Mu spoke, different handwriting began to appear on the envelopes.

27th Street, East Gotham, Building 13, 4th Floor, Room 404, on the sofa.

Gotham East...

Gotham's Diamond District...

Gotham Sewers...

Central City...

Greece……

Siberia...

Du Mu was stunned.

Greece and Siberia?
This bastard ran quite far.

Fortunately, Du Mu has mastered the method of using the power of faith to assist in casting spells, and he can easily grasp the location of all the clowns. Otherwise, where can he check? So, let's deal with the clowns in Gotham first.

Du Mu raised his hand and released the letters in his hand. Suddenly, all the envelopes with Gotham City written on them folded themselves into the shape of a thousand paper cranes, flapping their wings and flying towards the address.

Then Du Mu winked at Jason and said with a smile: "Jason, don't be scared by me later."

Jason looked at Du Mu with some confusion.

At the same time, my heart tightened... Could it be that Batman's teacher was going to suddenly turn into a vampire or a werewolf?

Well, considering Batman, he is a vampire, right? No wonder he can fly and control the special red energy.

Could it be that the other person's words about taking me to a faraway place were just an excuse, and he actually wanted to give me the First Embrace and turn me into a vampire?
Is this... a promise or...

Just as Jason was struggling and expectant, Du Mu's body sank slightly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Jason was surprised to find that the clouds under his feet disappeared, replaced by an indigo-colored land.

Feeling the toughness of the ground under his feet, Jason looked around and found no trace of Mr. Du Mu. He looked confused.

Then, he noticed that on the glass curtain wall of a Gotham high-rise building not far away, there was a reflection of a huge figure...

That is……

A blue whale floating in the sky!
Jason opened his mouth wide. The strong wind made the hair on his head as messy as his mood.

Each huge floor-to-ceiling window can only barely reflect a part of the majestic figure of the blue whale. Only when they are integrated together piecemeal can the enormity of the blue whale be barely pieced together.

Between those tall buildings, above the glittering lights, a blue whale swam in the air.

Just by its existence, it makes the entire Gotham City seem as if it is deep under the sea, with clear water.

Jason could only rely on the reflective high-rise buildings to barely catch a glimpse of this amazing scenery, but it had completely overshadowed the initial shock he felt when he overlooked Gotham.

He sat on the blue whale, opened his arms, facing the wind blowing from the bright moon, and for the first time in his life, he couldn't help but cheering loudly like a teenager.

Jason lives on a dangerous street, with a hunched back for a long time. This is a sign that he is always defending his weak parts, but it also makes him look like he has no aura... Of course, making yourself feel invisible is also one of the rules of survival on the street.

But at this moment, Jason suddenly felt that everything in the past was gone in the wind and blown away from his body.

He felt like he was originally in an iron box, and now... the box was opened.

Obviously, there had never been any physical constraints in the past, but at this moment, Jason seemed to have broken free from some shackles.

He floated above the Gotham skyscrapers that he could only look up to in the past, looking at the stunned faces of the rich people through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Suddenly, he had the illusion that he, a frog in the well, was suddenly picked up by a swan and overlooked the earth from the sky.

The former petty intrigues are just a drop in the ocean of the vast earth and are not worth mentioning.

Jason gradually calmed down from his intense excitement.

But what he saw today was deeply imprinted in his mind.

A small brick at the bottom of a pyramid is suddenly thrown high up and has a complete view of every level of the entire pyramid...what would it feel?
Jason shrugged, thinking that it was nothing special.

In the vast universe, isn't the pyramid structure of a city with clear upper and lower classes nothing more than a well in which a group of frogs sit?
In an instant, countless searchlights shone into the sky.

Du Mu didn't care about being discovered... After all, this is Gotham, and this strange phenomenon in heaven and earth will not affect the physical and mental health of the people of Gotham too much.

After Du Mu turned into a blue whale, he really felt as if the whole world had shrunk.

Gotham City, which was also very vast to him, seemed to have become Kowloon Bay.

In an instant, Du Mu's mental power covered the entire Gotham City.

Including Gotham's sewer system.

His attention was focused on the scattered paper cranes, watching them fly into the hands of pale people one by one.

"Huh? What is this?" A clown sitting on the sofa fiddling with a knife noticed a thousand paper cranes flying in from the window and raised his eyebrows with a puzzled look.

The next moment, the rising red magic power completely enveloped it.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!” This time, Du Mu did not pay attention to managing the clown’s volume, so he struggled and screamed frantically in Du Mu’s magic power.

The Dionysus factor repairs the Joker's body again and again... until all the energy is exhausted, until all the cells are reduced to ashes, until no organic matter exists anymore.

Such a scene appeared in an abandoned factory, a sewer, or the top floor of a commercial building...

There are many kinds of them.

Some clowns even got so scared when they saw the paper cranes that they pissed their pants and ran away crawling, but they could not escape from Gotham in an instant.

For Du Mu now, as long as the clown cannot teleport, there is no way he can survive.

No exchanges, no communication, no harsh words... just calm and efficient 'cleaning'.

With Du Mu's current abilities, he has naturally long since gotten beyond the cat and mouse stage.

Jason wasn't quite sure what Du Mu had done. After Du Mu confirmed that all the clowns in Gotham City had been cleared, he retracted his Animagus form and turned back into a human.

Clothes +1...

But in the process, he used his magic power to deflect the light, once again obscuring his own and Jason's figures.

Jason noticed that the blue whale's figure was slowly becoming translucent. He was a little nervous at first, until he saw the glittering clouds reappearing under his feet and Mr. Du Mu appeared beside him, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jason's eyes lit up as he said, "Mr. Du Mu... that just now, could that be a whale? This is the first time I've seen a whale in my life. Is that your pet? Or some kind of phantom?"

Du Mu smiled slightly: "That's me, I can turn into a blue whale."

Jason was stunned for a moment, and then the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter: "This... this is too cool! You can actually turn into a whale! And a whale that can fly in the sky? How do you do that?!"

Jason's emotions were completely open at this moment. He no longer looked like the cautious boy who had just met Du Mu. He was as excited as a child who knew that his parents were going to take him to Disneyland.

And when he learned that the reason Du Mu had just transformed was because of the Blue Whale state, and his mental power could cover the entire city and kill the clowns one by one, his body temperature rose by two degrees with excitement.

What's cooler than a cool transformation?
That is, after the transformation, one can really greatly improve one's own abilities.

He couldn't help but repeatedly ask himself whether he could learn it, and if he learned it, would he be able to become a whale? What if he couldn't fly after becoming a whale...

Du Mu didn't have the heart to attack the other party. At the same time, he seemed to be thinking about something and didn't say anything final.

So Jason couldn't help but be full of expectations and extremely grateful that he could meet Mr. Du Mu today.

I just boldly expressed to Mr. Du Mu my wish to learn from him. It was so wise... Mr. Du Mu agreed. After more than ten years of bad luck, my luck has finally turned around.

Du Mu looked down at the envelope in his hand, which was no longer that thick, and then looked at Jason and said, "Then next, we may have to go to other cities to hunt down the clown. Are you ready?"

If it was the Jason before, he might have hesitated subconsciously.

After all, Gotham is where he has lived for more than ten years. He will always feel confused and panicked if he suddenly has to leave.

But after being baptized by the state of mind of being brought out of the well by a swan and overlooking the earth, Jason said without hesitation: "I'm ready!"

Gotham? Just a place where the rich and the poor live together.

It has no other special meaning to the vast world.

Du Mu smiled slightly, then used his magic power to protect the opponent, and made a gesture with his left hand: Fleming's left hand rule, aiming in the direction of the central city.

In order to take care of Jason's body, Du Mu accelerated slowly this time.

It took him a full 1200 seconds... to accelerate himself from 100 kilometers per hour to ten times the speed of sound using the mana coil!
The reason why he could only accelerate to eight times the speed of sound in the past was purely because after this speed, Du Mu did not have time to replace the mana coil in front of him.

In the past, after reaching eight times the speed of sound, Du Mu could no longer instantly complete the cycle of operating steps of 'forming a magic coil, attaching electromagnetism, pulling himself to accelerate, releasing electromagnetism, and retrieving magic power'.

But now, Du Mu can allocate part of the calculation workload to the power of faith...

This allowed Du Mu's electromagnetic mana coil acceleration technique to finally be performed automatically without the need for Du Mu to be distracted.

Ten times the speed of sound is not the upper limit of this mode.

But it's Jason's ceiling.

Du Mu even used his true Qi to protect Jason's brain, internal organs, meridians and blood vessels, to prevent them from suffering from brain deprivation of oxygen due to such a fast speed.

Fortunately, what humans can hardly withstand is acceleration, or G-force. As long as the acceleration is gentle and uniform, it will not cause too much harm to the body.

1200 seconds, a full 20 minutes to accelerate to ten times the speed of sound. Jason stayed awake the whole time, without any of the discomfort that ordinary people would feel when riding in a supersonic aircraft. He even looked at the scenery flying around him in amazement, resisted the urge to shout, and pinched his palms with excitement.

But to be honest, the ten times the speed of sound didn't last long... maybe just a few seconds, and Du Mu and Jason arrived at the central city.

Since there was only one clown in the central city, Du Mu did not transform into an Animagus, but followed the address and came to the vicinity of the clown's residence.

But as soon as he arrived here, Du Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and instantly sensed a sense of familiarity.

He quickly flipped through the memory palace and immediately found the corresponding scene.

The Flash movie?

As the last movie of DC's previous stage of world view, Du Mu naturally saw it.

The house under your feet is obviously the home of Barry Allen, the Flash.

Du Mu also immediately discovered the young Barry Allen and his parents...

The Flash with both parents?

Looking at Barry's age and comparing it to his image in the movie...

Du Mu finally understood why, on the surface, Batman seemed to be the only superhero in this world.

It turns out that this is a world closer to the movie version of the Flashpoint Paradox. Whether it is Superman, the Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg... they either do not exist or only appear when Batman retires!
In other words... General Zod will appear and invade the Earth in the future, but it is very likely that no one will be able to deal with him.

This is actually a world facing a crisis of extinction?

At the same time, Du Mu looked down at the envelope at the bottom layer in his hand.

"Siberia..."

So the female security guard was talking about her?

Kara Zor-El, the Supergirl imprisoned by Russia?

No wonder no spaceship landed on the Kansas farm and the Kents didn't have a child named Clark.

Du Mu finally understood what kind of world this was.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

"I didn't expect... that the clown had done something really good this time."

That's a living Kryptonian.

It’s a pity… He’s already an adult, and I don’t know if it’s easy to trick him into becoming a disciple.
