The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 2446 The Battle for the Cloak (33)

Chapter 2477: The Battle for the Cape (33)

Remembering the map is a basic skill for Batman. He clearly remembers every detail of the way here, and he remembers even more clearly that the sewers at the door of the safe house are straight, so where does the 180-degree turn in front of him come from?

Batman certainly felt the fog invade, but his visor is equipped with thermal imaging, night vision, and the bat's unique sound wave return imaging, so even if he knows that he is surrounded by thick fog that cannot be dispersed, he can still see things within his normal field of vision.

What puzzles Batman now is that the sewer on his right, which should have been straight and led to two streets away, has now turned a big bend, as if it was twisted by some force.

And the sewer on his left, which should have had no way to go to this point, has now become a straight waterway that continues to spread outward.

Which way should Batman choose to go?

Batman chose not to go anywhere. He went back to the safe house, took a look at the sleeping Arkham Batman, and chose to walk directly from the ladder of the safe house to the ground.

He climbed up the ladder.

They were at the lower level of the sewer. Even if it was a straight ladder, it would take a while to reach the sewer entrance. Batman kept looking up at the sewer entrance, and the sewer entrance was getting bigger and bigger in his field of vision.

But soon Batman felt the change in gravity. He found that he had to use more force to grab the horizontal bar of the sewer ladder. He looked down and saw that it was no longer the light of the safe house, but a bend.

The passage leading to the ground was also twisted into an arc. Batman was actually crawling in the letter "C" and had climbed to the top, parallel to the real ground instead of vertical, so he needed to use his arms to fix his body.

But the light of the sewer entrance was still close at hand.

Batman decided to retreat.

After going down five or six steps, Batman turned around and looked down. There was no hole under his feet, but another bend.

Looking up again, the sewer opening with a faint light became larger in the field of vision, a little too large. He was obviously retreating, but the hole was still getting bigger, as if he was very close.

The bright place that was getting bigger and bigger was like a big mouth, as if it was ready to swallow Batman at any time. Batman paused for a moment and began to retreat.

Just climbing down like this, Batman felt that he had climbed at least a few hundred meters, and he couldn't count how many times he had experienced gravity rotation. Anyway, it was one bend after another.

As he retreated, Batman felt that his calf touched something. He lowered his head again and found that it was finally not a bend below. The walls around him were tightening and began to become narrower and narrower.

Something was surging at the end. Batman had a bad premonition. He quickened his pace to climb up and heard a series of sticky rumbling sounds.

The behemoth at the end rushed out. Batman turned around and saw two long and huge tentacles swinging beside him. The soft flesh covered with mucus climbed quickly along the inner wall.

He was racing with the snail in the snail shell?!

Batman climbed up at the fastest speed, and the two tentacles kept approaching him, passing through his back and arms, and the sticky touch almost stuck Batman in place.

But Batman did not stop, he climbed towards the snail shell that was getting bigger and bigger at the fastest speed, and with a bang, Batman fell out of the sewer entrance. When he climbed up again, the surroundings were calm as usual.

He looked down and saw that the sewer entrance was the sewer entrance. There were no spiral snail shells that seemed to be endless, no sticky and bloated monster snails, and the small hole looked down and saw the lights in the safe room, as if everything that had just appeared was an illusion.

Batman threw a detector down.

There was a puff, followed by a familiar buzzing sound. The picture from the monitor only showed that it was swallowed by the soft and sticky objects squeezed around, leaving nothing.

Batman took a deep breath and covered the sewer entrance. He looked around and found a convenience store nearby.

After clearing out all the salt on the shelves of the convenience store, Batman returned to the cave entrance with bags of salt, opened the packages and poured all the salt down, and fierce screams began to come from the cave entrance.

A sticky and turbid water poured out from the cave entrance, and the tentacles that had not yet completely melted bounced on the ground, and the naked eyes turned, and finally stared at Batman.

Suddenly, Batman threw down the last bag of salt. He looked at the torn and messy packaging and broke out in a cold sweat.

What was he doing? Why did he do this?

Batman stood up and rubbed his temples hard. Why did his first thought after experiencing some hallucinations related to snails be that salt could kill snails?

Has he done this before? Otherwise, how would he know? Did he kill any snails with salt when he was a child? Is this true?

Some memories began to become a little confused. On the one hand, it was normal to say that who hadn't dug out ant nests and caught earthworms when they were young? On the one hand, Batman knew clearly that he had never done such a thing when he was a child. He was not one of those killers who started with animal abuse and ended with murder. His childhood was very healthy.

His thoughts became a little confused. Batman took a deep breath and began to gradually get rid of those meaningless fantasies.

He ignored the mess on the ground and walked towards the target location alone. On the way here, he remembered that there was a hospital nearby, where he should have the wheelchair he wanted.

As he walked, Batman was blocked in his path, and a lamppost folded over and blocked him.

It wasn't broken, but like a cartoon character suddenly bent down and turned his upper body sideways to say hello.

Batman ignored the light pole and continued walking forward, the other light pole lowered even lower as if to say "Are you really not going to look at me?"

Batman continued to ignore it and still walked towards the front of the road. The two lampposts crossed each other and made a sign of a cross to him, as if to say "Don't go any further, stop and look at us."

Batman passed under two street lamp poles, still not looking at them, and then the biggest spectacle so far appeared. The lamp poles on both sides of the road were screwed together in a spiral.

The structure of the street lamp pole is actually a bit strange, with a straight body and a big head, so when they are entangled together, they look like two twisted people.

The two streetlight poles are twisted very long, and the streetlights hang down, as if to say to Batman, "We are all like this, why don't you look at us?"

Batman didn't look at it at all and walked around. He had already arrived on the lawn near the hospital. Considering that the local street lights were rude, Batman decided to step directly on the lawn and cross.

When he stepped onto the lawn, it was still a good triangle, but as he walked, the corner of his target spot began to extend and twist, turning into a spiral again.

Batman walked decisively towards the other side, but the other side also turned into a spiral. Batman looked back and sure enough, the side behind him was also a spiral.

Batman took a deep breath, stretched out an arm, fired a hook line at the nearest tree, and pulled himself directly over.

The moment he got close to the big tree, he saw that the originally normal vertical lines on the bark were twisted into dense spirals.

Batman suspects the world is a giant snail shell.

Ignoring these anomalies, Batman continued to walk towards the door of the hospital. He stood at the door and observed, and found that the stairs on both sides of the front desk were spiral stairs. If he walked up, a big snail would chase him. .

Batman chose to go directly through the window with a hook. He hung on the nearest balcony and jumped on it, and then jumped on the diagonal one. As long as he found a warehouse or a storage room for medical auxiliary supplies, he could get a wheelchair.

The original blue and white striped curtains in the inpatient ward have also turned into spirals one after another, becoming very eye-catching. During every jump, Batman will feel a little dizzy after passing these spiral-patterned curtains.

These spiral patterns seemed to have some magical power that kept attracting his attention, which made the distance between each of his jumps become larger, and the time that he was silently calculating in his mind to stay was almost over.

Blurred eye patterns began to appear on the reflective surface, but because there were too many spirals, the eyeballs of those eyes began to turn into vortexes one after another.

When the timer finally reached zero, Batman saw himself walking unsteadily in a town, turning, turning, and then turning. There was no straight road in the whole town, and there were all curves as far as the eye could see.

The fallen leaves blown by the breeze passing through the long street drew standard swirl patterns. One after another old and dilapidated ancient houses were twisted to one side, and the floor tiles spread along the curved arc.

Batman looked up and saw only a thin black line spiraling downward under the dark sky in the distance, which seemed to be leading to the center of this spirally arranged town.

When the hallucination disappeared, Batman found that he was still standing on the balcony, but when he lowered his head, he saw that the surface of the balcony, which was wet from the rain, had left his spiral footprints. He had been spinning in circles just now.

Batman looked down at his arm, because he had noticed that the arm holding the hook had become a little heavy since just now, and when he seriously raised his arm, he found that the side of his armor was stained slime.

It seemed to be the mucus that had been rubbed by the big snail's tentacles when it was chasing and fighting with it. It was already half dry at this time, and when it was lifted up, it would pull up rows and rows of silk threads.

Batman used his hands to peel off the threads and cut them off, but found that no amount of cloth or detergent could remove them.

With another violent shake, Batman felt that his body was in pain and was being melted. The part below his head gradually turned into puddles of thick water, flowing down the spiral and blending with the rain.

And his vision was divided into two, swaying left and right, twisting in the mucus, and bouncing on the ground.

Batman jerked his head and backed away, and was stopped by the balcony railing, but he continued to fall backwards.

With a snap, he fell from the balcony.

A vine suddenly stretched out and grabbed his cloak. A red hair appeared on the top floor of the hospital. He was holding on to the railing and looking down. A confused voice appeared in Batman's ears.

"Batman, aren't you dead?"

Miles comes from "Moonlight" (only recommended to watch the first part)

Spiral Town comes from Ito Junji's "Whirlpool" (don't read Mr. Futoko's works if you have poor mental endurance, and don't blame me if you have nightmares)
