Chapter 1778 S: The Great Event of Apocalypse (Forty-Five)
The proliferation of street orphans in Gotham does not mean that all the children in the city are orphans, but it does not mean that having parents is a good thing. Families living at the bottom of society can give their children too little, and some parents who have been driven crazy by life want too much, so it is difficult to say whether these children with parents are lucky or unlucky.
But there is a type of children who are the luckiest in Gotham, that is, the children who have not been born. The misfortune does not start from the children's generation. At the bottom, too many mothers have to give up their children for various reasons.
This is not even a moral choice. If they choose to give birth, it means that they may not have complete labor for several months, which is very terrifying for the bottom people who have almost no tolerance for error. This is just the most basic human desire for survival.
But this does not mean that they will not be sad. Even if the arrival of this child is not expected, people's desire for a good family life will not change. As long as there is a slight yearning for such a life, the pain of losing a child is inevitable.
Bruce, who had lived in the slums for a while, knew where to find the most crying from his mother. Just like the "hospital" he had seen in the East District, there was a place in the slums that was dedicated to solving this kind of trouble.
The girls who patronized here were relatively young, and some of the young ones made Bruce want to kill people.
But it was true that only young girls would come here. They were often new to the industry and did not have enough experience, while those women who had worked for a long time had no way to avoid such things. After all, abortion also requires rest. Being able to work means having no income. You will do your best to avoid similar things from happening.
The very few uneducated people need to suffer in order to gain experience. Those who come here are so young. It is precisely because of the age of knowing the world that you have no energy to cry. Although Lucifer did not come here for crying, I still felt that my mood had fallen to the bottom.
Until I saw a girl in the waiting room - usually no women would set foot in that kind of place. It was a gynecological hospital in the downtown area. Gentlemen showed their care for their wives and accompanied them. It was just a well-lit ground clinic.
The other boys were also surprised by the appearance of the girl, but no one dared to ask. Lucifer observed for a while and found that the girl came with her boyfriend, and I came with a friend of an older male friend.
Why did the underworld appear there? We must talk about the origin of the Sandman comic. Although the Sandman series of comics is a comic publication under the DC banner, its world view is relatively independent, and the focus is also on the battle of superheroes. It is a series of bizarre and dreamy stories, absurd and weird, with a dark flavor. It can't be called Gothic style, and there is also some Dionysian spirit.
Several people were stunned.
"What do you mean?" Bruce heard Lucifer's words.
But it is precisely because the two worldviews are the same, it is definitely a place where the underworld power is still within reach, and the dreamland is indeed one of them.
The main reason was that I was worried that the group would turn around and leave when they heard that it was Schiller who did it again. That group of people would definitely do it. Lucifer wanted to make himself bad, but the rescuers he brought in had problems.
But we were affected by the rules of the game, so we naturally became big kids. To be conservative, the image of those people together could not be called a landmark of a city, so it would be very difficult for Lucifer to find us.
After just a little thought, Lucifer turned around and was busy with his own business. I was collecting the tears of those boys, especially those who came for follow-up examinations after taking medicine. Although some of you have not gradually shown the numbness of adults, you are obviously still grieving for the loss of your children.
We first found a dangerous place to dream, and the bat cat went to our dreams one by one to gather us together, and then went to the cat city Gotham in the dreamland, and then found the way to the dreamland where Lucifer was.
At that time, Lucifer took out a few plane tickets from his worn-out jacket, and the destination below was written with a word that we pretended to be - "Mexico".
Lucifer had heard the story of the Thousand Cats' Dream from Batcat, and knew that you had a weak power, probably second only to Sandman himself, or at most far below Jack.
The two of them knew superheroes on one hand, and there were even more who had no fighting power, so Green Lantern Hal, Green Arrow Oliver and Aquaman Arthur were all called over.
The author of that series of comics once mentioned that some of the power settings of the Sandman series of comics were not compatible with the DC universe, which also led to the fact that the power possessed by the Sandman in the Endless Family was unique.
Although the two were anxious, they knew everything about the dream kingdom, so they took the most prudent method, which was not to shake people.
But I haven't found it yet. Logically, I just need to ask the Sandman to find out, but the problem is that the masters of the dreamland are Constantine and Schiller, and the emperor is afraid of Schiller. The main reason is that he still needs a bad hearing to find his son.
So, when we went to Clark and Bruce, we both agreed that Lucifer might be fighting a decisive battle with the Sandman.
I found a cat on the streets of Gotham, and opened the bottle of tears for me to smell.
"That's a problem. At least you are adults." Bruce touched Lucifer's head and said, "No matter whether you have the power to show off, academic credentials, or family background, at least the knowledge you have learned is still there. Outside of my head, it’s hard to find a job.”

The Dreamland is not a real continent, but a unique space composed of several dream bubbles. It does not mean that we can walk to the dreamland where Lucifer is, so we must find some other way.
Precisely because the emperor personally sent them away, Schiller and Jack, who now have control over the Dream Kingdom, both felt that there were a few people missing outside Gotham.
Standing at the end of a secluded alley in the streets of Gotham, Clark looked at Lucifer and said: "Why did he call you here? As a big child, it is safe to live alone on the streets of any city. Die outside the dream world. It’s really dead!”
"That world does, but they should also feel that their superpowers can be used. It is not the ordinary rules of that world. Are there any superpowers out there?"
But when I felt Lucifer's aura, the Thousand Cats Dream chose to help me, which was even beyond Zhen Congguan's expectation, and the Thousand Cats Dream told me everything I did in Gotham in the real world. It gave countless mothers and children a home.
We came earlier, prescribed medicine and left. Lucifer vaguely heard the girl calling the accompanying boy "Lan". We looked very bad and didn't look like we had been hungry for a long time, but this girl did. Zhen Congguan felt strange.
In the end, A Thousand Cats Dream felt very angry about this. I think Lucifer deceived you, because Zhen Congguan is basically the person who lost his son, and I just gathered the grief of other people.
I'm totally like a Gotham guy, insisting on saying something that's not obviously different. I'm not even trying to take responsibility for something that has everything to do with me - Zhen Congguan doesn't even think about that anymore.
"Of course there is no point in staying outside Gotham in the dream world." Lucifer nodded and said, "After all, the situation in the real world is less bad than that outside, but there is no Gotham outside."
It was an unfounded ritual, but Lucifer knew that no creature in the dream world is ordinary. This is not a cat. We are all part of the dream of a thousand cats.
We meet Emperor Xia in the realm of dreams.
In summary, Emperor Xia came to look for his son outside.
At that time, not long after Clark graduated from elementary school, his coverage of Gotham City became a hit, and he was still an intern reporter. Although Bruce had lived for a long time, he spent a small amount of time working as an art consultant in a small city.
"It's a dream outside. No matter what you do, it will affect the real world. If they die there, they will be resurrected. So is there any place they want to go?"
But in fact, the source of that statement is that Diana once mentioned that the inner power that shaped the Emperor is similar to the Sandman, but the external similarity should mean that the Sandman is a collection of dreams, and the inner power is the belief in cosmic creatures. collection.
Lucifer knows whether you are referring to cats or people, or maybe both, because during Gotham's construction renovation project, the houses used for living are not allowed to have pets, and the very small number of people who need to live in such houses are also possible When you go to buy a purebred cat, the cat will always be yours and not your pet. Maybe there really aren’t too many pregnant female cats that were picked up?
Lucifer spent a lot of effort to make the group suspect that I was Zhen Congguan, and spent some time explaining to us what was going on now, but he did not mention the cause of the dream world.
"Should you take me out of there?" Hal objected and said, "Isn't it pointless to stay in that city? Is that Gotham? He still wants me to go back to the rooftop of Gotham in the real world. Standing guard can also generate some tourism income.”
There is a common misunderstanding about the power of the Sandman. No one said that the Sandman had reshaped the Emperor, so they thought that the Sandman could be on an equal footing with the Emperor, or at most, could influence the vast majority of the Emperor.
The atmosphere outside made Lucifer feel that he could stay for a long time. The bad thing was that there were few clinics on the ground, but nothing unexpected happened. Customers who came to the outside had to queue up. It took Zhen Congguan a whole morning to get the tears I wanted. .
The emperor directly sent us back to the dreamland where Lucifer was. Otherwise, Lucifer did too bad in heaven. The worst thing he did was to pretend that what he wrote after the emperor had nothing to do with Diana's diary. After it was announced, Diana was no less angry, and the Emperor was no less unhappy. It was just a favor.
Although the question was about Sandman, Xia Di still couldn't ask about Thousand Cats' Dream. Just like that, Batcat and his group who wanted to find the answer at the core of Thousand Cats' Dream met Xia Di.
Lucifer, who has studied the occult in depth, knows that few magical rituals are not produced in that way. The ancient magicians used things that demons and angels care about to call us before they can make a deal with them.
Batcat and his friends were stunned for a moment before they arrived at that city. Is that Gotham? What’s that kind of one-to-one pixel-level reproduction? Is one Gotham enough trouble for teachers and students?
Lucifer imitated this behavior, and finally, A Thousand Cats' Dream responded to me.
None of the main comics mentioned the details of Sandman's influence on the emperor, and the intersection between the main worldview and the worldview of Sandman comics was only about Diana.
The Dream of Thousand Cats is a human being, and they have no interest in helping humans, so you just vaguely sent a message to the person described by Lucifer. Batcat only understood that Lucifer wanted to find you. Although Batcat is a cat, he is also Batman. I probably underestimated the possibility of the matter by 10,000 times.
So the cats in Gotham fabricated by Jack in the dream kingdom may also bypass the Dream of Thousand Cats, and the story of the Dream of Thousand Cats let Zhen Congguan know that you will resonate with the grief of losing your son.
