The Death Knell

What is it like to be haunted by a ghost?

To put it simply, various strange phenomena appear endlessly around you. For example, the temperature in a small area drops rapidly, electronic devices make crackling sounds, heavy objects fall from time to time on your head, and various vehicles chase you on the road.

Everyone knows that there is something wrong with this matter, but they can't see where it is.

The skeleton in the tuxedo was carrying people and goods, walking smoothly on the road. Then a billboard fell on his head, and a speeding car fell down. It can be said that it was very unsettling.

The Ghost Gentleman may not be able to effectively harm the skeleton, but he is annoying. After seeing him today, Diana finally understood why Hawkman and Hawkgirl together were no match for him in the past. It was probably because he was too energy-consuming.

Every time Eagle Man and Eagle Girl are reincarnated, their identities are different, but they are basically ordinary people. They only rely on N-metal weapons and wing plug-ins to get along well.

But ordinary people have their limits. The person who currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest time without sleep could only last for eleven days, and by the end he had a mental breakdown and fell into madness.

Superheroes may be able to last longer, but even Batman's willpower cannot last more than a month.

The human brain relies on bioelectricity to transmit signals. Humans cannot withstand being 'on' for a long time. While flesh and blood has advantages, it also naturally has disadvantages.

But people's ghosts don't have this limitation. Even if they keep doing ghost things day after day, they can still drive people to death, not to mention that they still have the ability to attack directly.

"What a troublesome opponent." Diana walked out of the alley. The skeleton continued to move forward, and the three women naturally had to follow. She bit her lips and thought while talking to Harley next to her, her voice a little Mo Hu: "If the two undead creatures continue to be consumed, we may not have enough time to stay on this timeline."

The arrangement before Deathstroke left was obviously to set the time on the original time machine, and he would drag everyone back when the time came.

If Dr. Manhattan is not found during this period, he may have to start all over again next time. The other party will probably be more vigilant and the resistance will be even greater.

But what can be done? Milkman, who is regarded as a key figure, is still hanging on the skeleton's shoulders, like a bag of flour. His two hanging arms sway limply with the pace of the skeleton. The ladies are not sure that he can get away from him. Get it back from the skeleton.

"Hey, what the hell." Harley took a bottle of wine from Kara, took a big sip to moisten her throat, and twisted her red lips from side to side: "The skeleton is not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry? You see, he is obviously He has to go somewhere, he must have a plan to deal with the ghost."

Just as he was talking, he saw a skeleton hundreds of meters in front of him pause in his steps. Yun Danfeng lightly dodged a banana peel that suddenly appeared in front of him and lightly stamped his foot.

With a 'clang' sound, a manhole cover on the road flew to the side. The mandible of the skeleton carrying the prisoner opened and closed several times, as if mocking the opponent, and then jumped into the sewer with one step.

"I see, it was a good idea for him to enter the sewer." Carla saw all this through her own clairvoyance eyes, and suddenly realized: "Walking on the street, the space around you is still empty, and ghosts can fly around and run around; but If he enters the sewer, the space and dangerous items around him that ghosts can use will be greatly reduced."

Logically speaking, if you know that you are being targeted by a ghost, don't panic. You can still reversely limit the scope of the ghost's activities through a series of operations.

If you are in a square with people coming and going, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of square meters of space, and with the night sky and clouds overhead, it will be difficult for you to determine where the ghost who wants to harm you will hide and from what direction it will attack.

But if you run into a public toilet at this time, find a stall and lock yourself in, then the next question to consider is whether the ghost will appear from above the door panel, or poke its head from under the door panel, or get out of the toilet. come out?

Whether he can survive is another matter, but at least the factors to consider are greatly reduced.

Apart from anything else, the method of throwing objects from high altitude is destined to be ineffective anyway. The skeleton is moving in the sewer, and there is only a few centimeters above the ceiling. What else can be thrown to hit him?

"Sewer, I don't like the smell inside..." Diana showed a strange expression, but she just scratched her cheek with her fingers: "Kara, can you see the direction of the skeleton on the ground? If we could, we wouldn’t go in.”

When she saw someone digging into the sewer, she felt a familiar feeling and thought of something.

But now Deathstroke is not on earth, but in another universe, so she feels that the skeleton's behavior of drilling into the sewer can only mean that the undead is dark enough.

"I can see." Kara answered with a smile. She pointed to her eyes: "Super vision can finally be put to some use. Fortunately, not all cement contains lead, but... ..”

Supergirl said there is no problem. Everyone can follow the skeleton on the ground and follow him wherever he goes. However, Harley needs to confirm first whether the ghost gentleman has followed the sewer or not, instead of being a sister. The three of them were blocked by him.

Noticing the look in her eyes, Harley understood what the girl wanted to say without even finishing her intention. She nodded:

"The ghost gentleman's thought bubble has followed, so it is safe for us to walk on the ground. Even if we walk on top of their heads, it will be fine. We are still separated by the road and the land."

So the next action was decided happily. However, only Kara could see what happened deep in the sewer. They could no longer watch the live broadcast of the battle between the two undead creatures. They could only listen to the Kryptonian girl using her small voice. Mouth broadcast.

At this time, Diana looked up at the sky. First she saw the Brother Eye drone flying low, and then she looked at the owl hovering in the sky. She raised her hand and fiddled with her terminal, contacting the distant The eyes of brothers in Gotham’s underground:

"Brother Eyes, can you hear me?"

"Okay, what help do you need from me?"

The lens of the terminal emits a small three-dimensional projection, which is a red eye symbol. In fact, it makes no difference whether the video phone is visible or not.

"Can you deduce where that skeleton is going?"

For things that the three women could not think of, AI might have some better ideas. Calculating probabilities is their strength. At least Diana felt that she would be able to do it if she had an adjutant to support her.
