The hawks in the Kingdom of Light called me a dove undercover in the chat group

[War Party]: "Hmm? Sure, it's already yours. As long as you don't use it for evil, you're free to do whatever you want with it. What's wrong? Was that why you called me so hastily just now?"

[Shadow Emperor]: "Hmm!"

Yotsuya Miko sent a few cute emojis of her nodding madly.

But her expression and mood in real life were far from as relaxed as she appeared in the chat group.

Sitting in the living room, Yotsuya Miko was watching today's news on TV with a worried look on her face. Her mother and brother also felt an unusual atmosphere that seemed to be gradually gathering. They watched the news together, feeling a little heavy-hearted.

"According to real-time data, the number of patients with novel symptoms of sudden mental illness-related deaths has doubled around the world since midnight yesterday morning and is continuing to grow."

"The United Nations urges all citizens not to panic. Please view the following photos. If anyone has any suggestions regarding these photos, please contact the official hotline in your country immediately. We will contact you immediately. I repeat..."

54. Do your best until the end of the world and the arrival of hope

Even more dangerous.

"Mom, I feel like something has been going strange these past few days." Kyousuke, the younger brother, was watching the news on TV. Although he wanted to act mature like a little adult, he still felt a little cold and muttered.

The mother's face was also solemn. She touched her son's head and whispered comfortingly, "It's okay. Look, the United Nations has taken action, hasn't it? It will be okay."

My brother and mother are just like millions of normal people. They cannot see and are unaware of the existence of evil spirits.

But even so, these invisible people have been feeling inexplicably depressed recently, finding it increasingly difficult to breathe, and having a premonition that a storm is about to come.

Yotsuya Miko looked out the window. Outside, whether it was the neighbors or passers-by she knew, they all looked different from usual. They didn't know why, but it was as if there was a dark cloud, a dark cloud so huge that it covered the entire sky, hanging over everyone's heart.

"Everyone is going to become crows flying around without a head." Yotsuya Miko clenched the crystal in her hand. She already had confidence in her heart and had a source of safety, so she was not afraid of anything.

But that's too selfish.

If such a powerful thing is only used to protect oneself, what will happen to Granny Saegusa and Mr. Rom?

Yotsuya Miko will never forget that before she met everyone in the chat group, although they still could not give her a warm sense of security, the exorcists she met were all helping her selflessly and fearlessly, and she had nothing to give back.

The whole world is gradually becoming chaotic now, this... weird atmosphere.

Although she knew nothing, she at least understood that this strange atmosphere must be something that even if Grandma Sanzhi and the others risked their lives, they would not be able to resist in the slightest.

Yotsuya Miko held the crystal's hand, loosening and tightening it, and then tightening and loosening it again.

[Shadow Emperor]: "If I give the crystal to someone else, Uncle Kasa, will you be willing to give me a second one?"

[War Party]: "I'd love to give it to you, but I'm afraid that's not possible."

The little girl couldn't hide her thoughts. Kasa could see clearly what she was thinking even though they were in different worlds.

Yotsuya Miko wanted to distribute the crystals and then get new ones from him. It would be best if everyone could have one, so that no one would have to fear the evil spirits.

This is a kind girl who cares about others. Although this behavior seems a bit excessive, her starting point is good and there is nothing wrong with it.

The problem is him.

Although Ultraman is powerful, he must not interfere too much in the affairs of the indigenous people on the planet. He can give Yotsuya Miko a talisman, but he must not take over the affairs and do everything by himself, causing the people over there to completely ignore the threat of evil spirits.

Unless the humans on Yotsuya Miko's side have already tried their best.

It is obvious that this is just the prelude to doing our best and the bottom has not yet been reached.

Perhaps the people on Yotsuya Miko's side have some hidden tricks up their sleeves, allowing them to successfully resolve this crisis on their own? Once they overcome this crisis on their own, they'll likely be able to advance through the tech tree and delve into spirit-related technology, which presents an opportunity.

Ultraman cannot deprive this of the results before they appear.

Even Seven, who is the most fond of humans, abides by this most basic rule.

[War Party]: "Are you still planning to give the crystal away, Jianzi?"

[Shadow Emperor]: "Yes, I want to give it to you!"

If a person is determined to sacrifice herself for others, she should not do it only when there is a way out.

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath. Regardless of whether Uncle Kasa was willing to let her ask for too much or not, she had already made her decision.

"See you?" The mother looked at her daughter in confusion as she suddenly stood up to make a phone call.

"I have something to do, Mom!"

Yotsuya Miko ran out of the living room, pausing to call her mother and brother, who were unaware of the situation. She called Mr. Rom, but it took about ten seconds for the call to be answered. The other end's voice sounded haggard: "Hello?"

"Mr. Rom!"

"Oh, it's Jianzi... You called me specifically for something, right? But if it's not urgent, could you please hold on for a few days? I really can't get away from here." He not only looked haggard, but also had a subtle sense of powerlessness and confusion.

"No!" Yotsuya Miko interrupted, "I have something for you!"

"Things?" Rom was stunned.

"Yes!" Yotsuya Miko's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of positive energy, infecting Rom on the other end of the line. "I have obtained a very powerful item. I think it may be of some help to what you are going to do next. I hope you can come and pick it up right away."

"It's a powerful thing?" Rom was a little unconvinced. "How powerful is it?"

"It's amazing that it completely eliminated all the evil spirits in my house and all the nearby streets in an instant." Yotsuya Miko said concisely. She knew it sounded unbelievable. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would dare to believe that such a thing existed in the world.

After all, even the most powerful exorcist is only that good, right?

"Are you kidding?" Rom's voice suddenly rose to a breaking point, and it became very noisy on his end, as if the content of the phone call was also heard by others on the other end.

Yotsuya Miko shook her head slightly: "As long as you come over, you will know immediately whether it is true or not."

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll be there right away. Wait for me!" Rom stuttered as he spoke. He was so anxious that he didn't even have time to hang up the phone. People could hear all the hurried noises on the other end.

Adults also have such busy and flustered moments.

Yotsuya Miko felt a little funny in a positive sense. She took out her precious crystal and looked at it for a long time.

The amulet that I had just obtained a day ago is about to be handed over by myself.

But she doesn't regret it, never.

In the chat group, Yuta Hibiki was almost crying and immediately sent a message.

[Cowardly Hand]: "I'm so touched! Yotsuya-kun, feel free to send it off. I'll lend you the one the uncle gave me for protection until things settle down on your end. I don't think there will be any problems on my end anyway, so it doesn't matter to me!"

[Shadow Emperor]: "Eh? Are you really okay? Don't force it. You were obviously scared just now."

[Coward]: "It's okay. I want to be a man that Takara-san can rely on anyway, so I'll start by overcoming my immature self and scaring myself. Yotsuya-san, just think of this as helping me get rid of my dependence on Uncle Kasa."

[Shadow Emperor]: "I will help you and Liuhua-chan!"

Looking at the group chat message, Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his head and clicked his tongue.

He also wanted to do this, but he was still a little hesitant and was ultimately a step slower than Yuta.

"What? I'm less courageous than him, and not as kind-hearted as him. I'm just a lower-ranking substitute, Hikigaya Hachiman, the useless loser in the chat group. Sigh."

But even so, he still wants to be someone who can be recognized by Uncle Kasa and Uncle Luther!

[Dead Fish Eyes]: "I'll lend you mine too!"

55. Batman: Gotham (choked up), what happened?

At the same time, someone had already become perfectly invisible, took the crystal gift and ran away.

Far away from the Wayne family, in a remote underground place on the edge of Gotham City, in the Batcave No. 3, one of the most cunning ones.

In order to eliminate all dangers, Bruce had sent Alfred away in advance and stayed in a special room filled with various activated suppression devices.

Although Kassar said that the energy intensity of the crystal given to them would be very low, it was hard to say how low it would be. They needed to be on guard. Under the suppression of these various instruments, even if the crystal exploded as soon as the red envelope was taken out, at least it would not affect the entire Gotham. At most, it would collapse the Batcave.

As for Bruce himself?

Of course, he had been on high alert for a long time, wearing a special protective suit that weighed nearly a ton. He couldn't move at all while wearing this suit, so he couldn't use it in a fight, but it was perfect for dealing with head-on explosions.

Bruce didn't feel relieved because he had guessed that the Joker would one day play this kind of trump card, forcing him to take the tram option and face the crisis of a violent explosion. He didn't expect it to be used here. He just felt that he had too few cards in his hand after all.

"Huh, come on, let me see, Kasa!"

Click on the red envelope, whoosh!

At this moment, Bruce was in a state of panic, his heart in his throat and his spirit tensed to the extreme, but as the alarm clock ticked down, everything in the world returned to normal, except that there was a brilliant blue transparent crystal in his hand, and no explosion occurred.

"……?not good!"

Bruce's eyes suddenly widened, and before he could relax his vigilance, the next second, the crystal suddenly burst out with a huge light without any warning, and the light was so bright that it rushed out of the Bat Cave.

The light that shot up into the sky was so brilliant that even if he was right here, he could still create a picture in his mind, a picture of everyone in Gotham raising their heads, looking over here, and discovering the secret here!

boom!

Bruce immediately threw the crystal in his hand as far as possible, and at the same time, he jumped and hid behind the alloy door that had been designed from the beginning, so as to have an extra layer of protection to face the impending explosion and impact.

But he miscalculated.

The expected explosion did not occur, and the reality was calm, except for the beam of light emitted from the crystal that shot up into the sky.

However, the beam of light began to shrink rapidly after just a few seconds, and then disappeared without a trace. If it weren't for the fact that the beam of light was so impressive, it would have seemed as if nothing had happened.

“Beep beep beep beep!!”

The various instruments that had been screaming wildly just now suddenly became quiet, symbolizing the end of the emergency.

But Bruce did not blindly believe in these unreliable electronic instruments. Instead, he waited for a long time before quietly slipping out from behind the alloy door with a large alloy shield in front of him. He took one step forward and three steps back as he tried to approach the crystal he had thrown away.

Only after finally making sure it was safe did he feel willing to pick up the crystal through the gloves of his protective suit.

"What is this?!" Bruce's pupils shrank and his brows furrowed tightly.

The crystal lost its brilliance - this was superficial, turning into a colorless gray, losing its outer blue color.

But looking through the phenomenon to the essence, one thing that is very obvious is that all the energy stored in this crystal was completely released in the light column that appeared in just a few seconds without causing any damage to the surroundings.

How is this going?

If they wanted to plot against him, this shouldn't be the case. His suppression device wouldn't be that powerful.

But if this wasn't a conspiracy against him, then how could it be different from the result that Yotsuya Miko received?

Bruce pondered for a moment, then put the crystal away. He then downloaded all the relevant data that had been detected from the surrounding instruments, and immediately summoned the Batplane to begin evacuating from the air.

After leaving a certain distance, with a loud bang, all the instruments in Bat Cave No. 3 were activated by the scheduled self-destruction, and the interior collapsed. Although everything looked normal from the outside, there was no useful debris left.

"I have to find time these days to look for a place to build a new Batcave No. 3."

Bruce was still pondering when Alfred's teasing call came through: "Master, this is even more shocking than Bane's plan to release a nuclear bomb a few days ago. The whole of Gotham saw the beam of light from your place, and now everyone in the streets is wondering if it's an alien invasion."

"Maybe he really is an alien," Bruce replied humorlessly, but without mercy, "Get all the dirt on Oswald, the hottest star right now, and the mayor out there and stir up some heat."

"Oswald's in Arkham Asylum, sir."

"Do as I say."

"Yes~" Alfred sighed and shook his head, "How pitiful, fat guy."

He said this, but he didn't stop. He gloated over these people's misfortunes and immediately released all the negative information about them. It was on the Internet, and newspapers also reported and published it immediately. This information immediately became a hot topic, gradually covering up people's public opinion and attention about the light column.

Bruce drove the Batplane back to his Batcave No. 1 and logged in to compare the collected information.

"Kasa didn't lie. This crystal is indeed weaker. When it was first taken out of the red envelope, it only contained enough energy to instantly detonate an area several thousand meters in radius. But now it has no energy at all."

"Why did it explode just now? ...Yotani Miko said that her crystal will automatically emit light when it encounters an evil spirit. So - is that possible?!"

Bruce's face suddenly turned extremely pale. It couldn't be that the souls of his dead parents were surrounding him, and the crystal had liberated his parents on the spot, right?

No, this is unlikely. Yotsuya Miko also said that the crystal purified her father, not saved him.

If there really were the ghosts of his parents behind him, they couldn't be evil spirits who wanted to murder him, and it would be impossible for them to trigger the salvation program. Moreover, the fact that the crystal didn't explode just now proved that Kasa at least didn't do anything here.

"That……?"

Bruce pondered for a long time. This was his old job. Before Bane appeared, Batman's job was actually more about detective work than combat. Most of the time, he would be a detective for a long time, and after finding the answer, he would send the mastermind to Arkham Asylum in just two minutes.

Bruce pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. He contacted Alfred and said, "Check the temperature and sunlight exposure in Gotham City, and then look at the physical and mental health rates of the citizens and compare them with before."

56. Barbatos, I'll be waiting for you on Gotham Street!

Alfred finished his work quickly. He came in with the data, his face full of surprise: "This is too... Master, look at this, this is outrageous!"

"According to the data, since your beam of light erupted ten minutes ago, the temperature across Gotham has risen an average of two degrees Celsius. And while many people haven't specifically announced this, surveillance footage shows that many people's expressions have suddenly become more comfortable. Patient complaints in hospitals have decreased significantly. Even the Riddler in Arkham have become more cheerful."

"And during this time, the crime rate in Gotham has decreased significantly?"

"Also, the sun is shining directly into Gotham. Can you believe this? ...No, everything is gradually returning to its previous state?"
