Chapter 3326 Bloody New City (75)

Chapter 3326 Bloody New City (Seventy-Five)

Schiller didn't want to think about it. He nodded perfunctorily. Jason said excitedly, "Although this sounds like a classic rumor, it may have some truth to it."

"I believe that it was Gotham that cursed General Arkham. Edmund Wayne killed him and inherited the curse."

"and then?"

"Maybe he didn't know about the curse at first, so he chose to kill General Arkham and inherit Gotham Village. But one day he discovered the curse, and in order to get rid of it, he chose to leave here and build a new city."

"But this conflicts with your previous inference."

"There is no conflict," Jason said. "To be more precise, it just proves my previous point. The Order is completely using Edmund Wayne, using him to take over Gotham Village, and using him to bear the curse."

Jason drew a circle on the table with his finger and said, "Although I don't know much about the British aristocracy, this Order Cult can openly hijack a car and successfully bring Edmund Wayne to the New World. They must be quite capable."

"Why did they choose to use a fraud who is considered an imposter when there are so many nobles in the UK?"

"Indeed, in that era, only nobles could be lords. Why can't we find a noble with a more solid identity and a better reputation?"

"Of course it's because the more powerful nobles have families. And the rest of the Wayne family, to which Edmund Wayne belongs, all died in the plague, leaving only him."

"The Order's idea is to use them and then throw them away. If they use nobles whose families are still alive and then kill them, they will inevitably have to give an explanation to their families. But if they use Wayne, they don't have to do that. This is the most important reason why they chose Wayne."

"I even suspect that the other members of the Wayne family may not have died of the plague, but were killed by the Order. Just like the Order murdered Alfred, Fox and Dr. Tompkins one after another, it was to make Wayne a lonely man so that they could manipulate him."

"After Wayne successfully took over Gotham Village and inherited the curse of the ruler, the Order believed that his mission was accomplished. They began to cause trouble in Gotham Village unscrupulously."

"But I didn't expect that Edmund Wayne was not that simple. He noticed the conspiracy of the Order and chose to cooperate with the East India Company. He built a new city next to Gotham Village and then built a dam to flood Gotham Village, making it impossible for the Order to achieve its goal."

Schiller almost applauded him. He felt that Jason might have guessed most of it, but there were still some mysteries that had not been solved.

He thought for a moment and then said, "The key is what the Order wants to do. What made them come all the way to Gotham and go through such a long detour for this?"

Jason shook his head and said, "I guess it's something religious. I don't know much about it, but it's definitely related to their teachings."

"You mean the flame?" Schiller frowned slightly. He did have some knowledge of religion. After all, he was a professional pope and could easily quote religious allusions from all aspects.

"The culture of worshipping fire can be traced back to the primitive period. But if we talk about the establishment of a more specific religion, we have to mention the worship of Mithra in the Aryan primitive religion. To put it simply, it is the worship of natural elements, advocating natural elements such as gold, wood, water, fire and earth."

"When it comes to fire, we have to mention the most famous religion, which is Zoroastrianism, which originated in Persia. It is one of the earliest foreign religions introduced into China, and can be traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty."

It sounds like it's far away, but the last time Yinglong happened, Schiller realized that there are really gods in the comic world. And religions all revolve around the appearance of these gods.

"It is possible that a god appears in one side in the East and another side in the West, which has led to different but very similar religious beliefs. This is not a coincidence, but rather evidence of the existence of gods."

"The Order of Order in Britain and the Zoroastrianism in Persia both worship fire. Although it may be because they are both derived from primitive religions, it is also possible that they witnessed the same miracle related to fire one day and thus developed the same belief."

"In terms of religious differentiation, the Order still belongs to Christianity, but they worship the destruction of the world by fire. This is the biggest difference between them and other Christian sects."

Based on the assumption that every religion wants to prove that they are right, Schiller suspected that this Order Cult might really want to destroy the world with fire to prove that their doctrines are the most correct.

So what they did in Arkham Village might be related to the destruction of the world by fire. But what the specific relationship is depends on what Batman can bring up from underwater.

Batman did not disappoint the two. The photos he brought back this time were not ordinary ruins.

This time he went deep into Arkham Fortress and most likely reached the underground prison, capturing some amazing and unusual footage.

Schiller entered the Batcave to peek, but he didn't communicate with Batman and didn't know his reasoning. But fortunately, there was Jason. After Schiller printed out the photo with gray mist, Jason quickly found the clue.

At the bottom of the Arkham Fortress, which had been corroded beyond recognition by the river, some strange symbols were left on the walls and floor of the deepest part of the dark prison. Judging from the shape, someone should have set up a magic circle here.

In addition, there is a line of words on the wall - "When the stars hang on the treetops, the fire vampire burns all the darkness in the forest."

No one could understand the runes left on the ground. Jason and Schiller had never seen them before. They looked like some self-created symbols, but this sentence was a very important clue.

First of all, there is an important factor mentioned here, that is the forest. There is a forest next to the Gotham Reservoir.

In addition, the word vampire is certainly not unfamiliar to Schiller. Didn't Bruce become a vampire?

Of course, this is not the point. The point is "stars". Schiller now has a disease that makes him want to grab Naya and beat him up whenever he sees a word related to stars.

Although this sentence does not mention words like "the stars are coming" or "the stars are returning to their positions", Schiller feels that this thing is probably related to the Cthulhu mythology system.

Greedy is actually not very interested in Cthulhu Mythos, because he doesn't like things that are highly random, except when he lets others spend money to draw cards.

But since he had obtained such a clue, he naturally had to go back and study it carefully. So he went to the tower and took out the Book of the Dead, ready to study which blind and foolish boss had caused so much trouble in this universe without cleaning his ass.

Guess what? I found someone I know, and he wasn’t from DC, but Marvel.

As we all know, "Dark Dwellers" is a famous work in the Cthulhu mythology system. Although some concepts proposed by its author are not recognized by fans, this work is still widely circulated and quite classic.

There is no need to say much about the content, but there is a very crucial plot, that is, the humans who are almost driven crazy by the dark dwellers think of a way to summon the Old One Cthugha - manifested as a huge fireball. In the author's writing, it is the representative of the fire element.

The huge fireball then crackled and exploded a forest, successfully driving out the dark dwellers - who in the novel were the incarnation of Nyarlathotep.

Of course, Nyarlathotep is a familiar figure, a little too familiar. But the point is not him, but this so-called "Dweller-in-Darkness" is a character in Marvel Comics, one of the Seven Lords of Dread, and a cousin of Nightmare.

This character was later officially recognized by Marvel as "a reliable successor to Cthulhu". This description probably means that this thing may be the incarnation of a character in the Cthulhu mythology system. In connection with the original novel, it is very likely to be the incarnation of Naya.

But this is not the point. The key point is that when Schiller was looking through the information about this character, he found that the most famous plot of this character was the destruction of the M'kraan crystal, which ultimately led to the end of the sixth universe.

It is known that Anatoly used the M'Kraan crystal to travel through various cosmic dimensions to collect stellar power, and was very likely cursed by the crystal. After suffering so many misfortunes, he cancelled his account and ran away, leaving this mess to Schiller.

Schiller didn't believe this was a coincidence. He briefly sorted out the time sequence. Since the star power collected by Anatoly has been preserved until now, he must have collected it in the seventh universe.

In other words, the order should be that Naia's incarnation destroyed the crystal to end the sixth universe, and Anatoly used the crystal to collect stellar power in the seventh universe.

The question now is, did Naia make the deal with Anatoly first, or did she end the sixth universe first?

Schiller always felt that it was the former. It was very likely that Naia ended the sixth universe and opened the seventh universe by destroying the crystal after reaching a deal with Anatoly.

But restarting the universe is such a big thing, it is impossible without the approval of the big guys above. Naia, an outsider, is probably just a scapegoat.

Schiller seriously suspected that it was because Anatoly persuaded Naija to help Marvel open the seventh universe, and he later used the crystals to gather power from various places and accumulated stellar potions from several planets, that he was not hit hard by those abstract entity bosses.

Otherwise, he would not be able to get away with this kind of behavior of stealing wool and poaching people everywhere. Not to mention that he has built a big gun, which may stab these abstract entities in the ass one day. There is no reason for these beings to let him do this.

But if you have the credit for restarting the universe, then things will be different. No wonder OAA was the first to tell Dr. Schiller that he was not dead. You two had colluded long ago, right?

And Naya, it's fine if you just lend him strength, but you also take the blame for him. You give him a house, money, and a cat. And then you cook two dishes for him before you leave, right?

This is a long story. The key point is that Schiller found the information of the dark dwellers and naturally understood the meaning of the words on the underground wall of Arkham Fortress.

This is entirely referring to the process of summoning Cthugha in the book "Dwellers of Darkness": when the star Fomalhaut reaches the treetops, chant the spell, and the fire spirits known as fire vampires descend and burn the N'Geyi Forest where the Dwellers of Darkness are located.

So it was the Order that summoned Cthugha in Arkham Village?

Naiya, he really makes me cry
