Chapter 131
Carl gave Johnson a flawless smile.
So Johnson shut his mouth knowingly.
They maintained the illusion of harmony and friendship, sitting in the living room idly waiting for Abbott to leave the room, and to prevent embarrassment, Carl turned on the TV and tuned to the news channel.
This world is not the same as his world. It is a world that only belongs to DC. The composition of various continents and countries on the earth is different from Karl's own world, but it is also different from the main world.
This may be a secondary derivative world. The secondary derivative world is very similar to the main world, but there are subtle differences in details.
Carl doesn't intend to delve into what is going on in this world, anyway, he only intends to stay here for a short period of time, and he will go home when Batman captures another escaped clown into Arkham.
But the news broadcast on the news still attracted his attention, because the face that appeared on the big screen belonged to Clark.
He once again led the members of the Justice League to protect the safety of the earth from space invaders.
Look at him, how mature and calm he is, when he smiles and speaks into the microphone while standing on the podium, his bright, righteous, loving and responsible demeanor is as standard as a drama.
"I'm done eating, Dad, Uncle." Abbott came over with his schoolbag on his back, breaking the silence between Carl and Johnson.
He looked up at Johnson, with tears in his eyes.
There are no fools in Gotham, even a young boy who is considered good in character and learning in everyone's eyes.They are familiar with the smell in the air when danger comes, like a strange stench mixed with gunpowder, and when it is more dangerous, there is a light fragrance that can only be found in expensive perfume.
"I'm sorry, Abbott, you can go to school by yourself." Johnson said, hesitating for a moment, but reached out and touched Abbott's head.
The fuzzy and slightly prickly feel of his hand made him shrink back his fingers uncomfortably, the first time Johnson had done this in all these years, expressing his clumsy fondness for his young son or something.
Maybe it was the last time he did it, too.
"The relationship between you father and son is really good." Carl said politely, "Come back early at night, Abt, I put the little toy that was confiscated by me last night in your schoolbag, be careful, don't be found by the teacher. "
Of course, he saw the fear and curiosity of these two people, and was very speechless about it.
Does he look like a bad guy?As far as his standard picture is concerned, at first glance, it will remind people of a sunny face in places like Hawaii?
Abt looked back at him, pursed his lips, as if he wanted to intercede for his father, but finally flinched from Carl's encouraging eyes.
"I see, sir," he said, and fled the room quickly.
"Oh, come on, why can't you act more like a Gotham man?" Carl couldn't help exclaiming, "How scary do I look? Huh? Johnson, you can't even say a word? In the past How heroic you are in front of the Joker and Batman, there are only two or three people who can live happily after watching them fight each other, like a gangster, okay?"
"Sorry sir, to be honest, you look the scariest because you don't look too scary." After Abbott left, Johnson's tight nerves improved a bit, at least the tendons on his forehead no longer looked like Abbott's. It was so swollen and painful when I was like, "What the hell are you trying to do? Since I'm a little bird in your hand now, please tell me everything - as long as you don't plan to make me confront Batman or clown."
"You're not a little bird." Carl said with disgust.

"What is this?" Tony stared at the document in Pep's hand with wide eyes, with an expression as if he would eat up these thin pages in a second, "You tell me what the fuck What is it?"
"When Howard was alive, he signed a contract with the military. The president of Stark Corporation must go to the specified time and carry the specified weapons to participate in and host military exercises at the specified point." Pep said with an expression on his face, sure After seeing every word clearly, Tony quickly closed the folder, "Originally this was Howard's job, but now, it's your job."
"Hmmm..." Tony mumbled, his eyes wandering around Pep a few times, and suddenly he said, "Why don't you call me? It sounds natural when you call me Howard, but you deliberately avoid it." open my name."
Pep stared at Tony for a moment.
"It's no use changing the subject, Mr. Stark."
"Just call me Tony, please," Tony said, "The papers are on my desk, I'll go back, I swear, when I'm done with my research... OK, don't look at me like that, Pep, I know you have made great contributions to the company, but you also need to understand my work..."
"That's your job," Pep said, adding after a pause, in Tony's eyes, "Tony."
"I'll go. Are you satisfied? I'll go. Now go, go, go—"

Johnson's tavern quietly changed a bartender.
No one is aware of this, this is Gotham, almost any job that starts at night doesn't last long, whether it's a bartender, a prostitute, or a thug, it's like a cheap commodity produced on the running water, and it can be killed at any time. can be replaced.
As far as Carl is concerned, he will comment that blending in with his surroundings is not as difficult as he imagined.
Under his persuasion (threat), Johnson agreed to cover his activities in Gotham City. The specific situation is that he can also work in Johnson's tavern when Johnson is working. Staying at home at work, he can move around Gotham City as the other party.
His glasses can use optical principles to change his appearance. It is not difficult to imitate Johnson's appearance. As for the figure?Well, Carl took this into consideration when he chose the unlucky guy. Johnson's figure is closer to his, and his identity is also suitable, and he also has a fatal weakness. A child with no offensive power can be said to be able to provide The best people to help.
The daytime in Gotham City is also very cold and humid, and it is difficult to see the sun once or twice a year here.
The foggy days and extremely humid air unique to Gotham City made Carl a little uncomfortable. He still prefers a metropolis that is only separated by a bay, but the sky is clear and cloudless all year round, and even if it rains, it is very refreshing.
But generally speaking, Gotham during the day is still more orderly, more peaceful and quieter than at night, and there are not many crimes-"not much" for Gotham City.
Clairvoyance doesn't work, so Carl uses his sense of hearing to locate the Joker and Batman.
As always, Batman stayed in his Batcave, tapping on his Batcomputer, not knowing who he was monitoring and what information he was looking for, while the Joker used a waterfront warehouse as a temporary base, humming Weird tunes bury explosives everywhere.
They all seemed so weird and dark and cold and lonely.
And the center of the story, the second-generation Robin Jason.Todd, sitting in a classroom with a group of teenagers his age, listening to the teacher.
Carl sighed softly, not knowing whether he could do this, but after returning to Johnson's home, he still used the function of the glasses to send Batman the address of the Joker's location.
The next thing may no longer belong to him.
In any case, the clown is Batman's responsibility, just like Lex is his responsibility-of course, the relationship between him and Lex is far more special than the relationship between Batman and the Joker, but as long as things involve old enemies, they will Other heroes will not be allowed to intervene.
Carl thinks he can leave this world quickly, because Batman will definitely take action once he finds out where the Joker is.
But things didn't develop as Karl imagined.

"Enough! How long are you going to imprison me?!" In another world, Doctor Strange growled angrily, "At first you said that there is a mechanism against magicians in your seat, let me not ask why there is Such an institution, why does your office have an enchantment against magicians?! And like your chair, it is an enhanced version of the enchantment! Damn it, when will I go back!"
He'd gotten out of that weird chair that he couldn't get out of anyway, but now the problem was that he couldn't get out of Alexander's office at all.
In order to get rid of this situation, he almost used the time gem, and went back to the past where he hadn't left yet, and came to question Alexander.Al's time is up.
However not.
The use of time gems in the real world needs to be cautious, and it is best to have a time reversal within a few minutes, otherwise the reversed timeline is likely to destroy a certain logic that exists in the real world and cause huge losses.
What would be the logic of being destroyed?It's hard to say, maybe one goes wrong and gravity disappears.
"Calm down, doctor, I am very sorry for your current situation. If these things are prepared for you, I swear, they will never be so... unreasonable." Alexander, who can freely enter and exit the barrier, calmly said, "Their effects will only last for less than a week. Before that, you just need to wait patiently."
"I also want to maintain the order of the earth. I still have the work of the supreme mage."
"About this." Alexander said, "I have asked Constantine to pay attention. Although he is not as good as you, it is more than enough for a week."
Doctor Strange stopped talking for a moment, and he sat down in a chair angrily. Of course, it was a normal chair that Alexander moved from elsewhere.
"You prepared these for Miss Mora?" said the doctor after a moment's silence. "What do you want to do to her?"
"It's 'what does she want to do to me,'" Alexander corrected.
