Chapter 2827 I Have a Date with the Outer Gods (Part )

The story of Cobblepot and Gordon is a bit complicated. Cobblepot is actually a descendant of the four major families. By this era, the Cobblepot family has declined, and the little penguin only left behind a somewhat old ancestral house where he and his mother live.

The inheritance of the Cobert family was almost completely cut off, and Cobert didn't know what his father had arranged. But perhaps it was a coincidence that Cobert heard a few crazy words from his mother. He thought it was just nonsense during an illness, but he really found the stairs leading to the attic behind the bookcase.

Cobblepot found his father's diary in the attic of his ancestral home. When he found it, there were already unusual things in Gotham City. Cobblepot immediately connected the two things together and learned about the plan planned by the four major families 20 years ago.

It is basically too late to start now, but fortunately his father did a lot of work in the past, and their family's mission is relatively simple, which is to guard the base of the last Court of Owls and keep an eye on the equipment for refining bat gold.

The four major families in Gotham each have their own responsibilities. The Kane family and the Wayne family are responsible for searching for metals outside, while the Elliot family and the Cobblepot family are responsible for collecting and refining metals within Gotham City. This pool of amber gold was collected by the Elliot family, while the Cobblepot family only needs to collect bat gold.

Through the memories that Martha obtained from the cultists, they seized the laboratory where bat gold was refined, but because they had no knowledge of mysticism, they could not touch the instruments, so they could only seal off the laboratory and have members of the Cobert family watch over it, and take away the results after the metal refining was completed.

Cobert went there neither too early nor too late, and the metal had just been refined. However, all metals have one property, which is that they are difficult to preserve using conventional equipment, not even test tubes or syringes.

However, the four major families had already developed a way to preserve the electrum, which was to preserve it directly in the human body. Cobert used surgery to peel off the skin on his legs and placed the bat gold in his calves.

Following the clues he got from his father's diary, he came to the Wayne Hotel and successfully transported the bat gold.

Gordon actually had nothing to do with this matter. The one who was really involved was one of his team members, a descendant of the Kane family. He was responsible for collecting promethium metal and rushed to the Wayne Hotel as soon as the accident happened.

But we can also know from the original book that there are basically no capable people in the Kane family. The unlucky guy who received the mission was just an ordinary person. He encountered a life-and-death crisis not long after he came in and could only ask Gordon and others for help.

Gordon was a policeman after all, and he couldn't just sit there and watch, so he brought his team to the Wayne Hotel. Fortunately, the unlucky guy was not dead. He saved him, but found himself trapped in the hotel.

It was also that unlucky guy who told him that he had to go to the swimming pool on the rooftop, because he learned from the records of his elders that the follow-up plan was on the fourth floor of Wayne Manor where the swimming pool was located.

Apparently, this manor is still a little too dangerous for ordinary people. The team was almost wiped out, and Gordon was also contaminated. The man named Kane knew that he would not survive, so he could only reveal his plan and let Gordon borrow his body to go to the fourth floor and get the specific location of the ancient city.

The promethium metal was placed in the body of this team member. After Gordon obtained the body, he used his contaminated abilities to transfer the metal to his own head, so that he could carry the metal with him no matter how he changed his body.

Gordon had originally planned to go to the ancient city and wait, but the big-headed man was guarding the door to the back garden, and he couldn't get in alone. He had to turn back to ask for help, and met Schiller when he was taking a rest on the 19th floor.

As for the N metal in Alfred's head, Schiller believed that it should have been put in by Thomas. After all, the four major families had made efforts, and Thomas Wayne, the leader of the four major families, could not have failed to make contributions. He should have found the N metal, but knew that his body might be taken over, so he put the N metal in the old butler's body.

Amber gold is native to the ancient city, bat gold is refined by the Court of Owls and brought by Cobblepot, Dionysus factor is refined by Jerome who learned of Martha's plan, promethium metal is given to Gordon by the descendants of the Kane family and brought by him, and N metal is found by Thomas and placed in Alfred's head. At this point, the sources of the five metals are basically clear.

From this, Schiller could roughly guess what was going on in the hotel. The conspiracy faction that had been obstructing the guests in the hotel was actually the polluting power of the Outer Gods, and the reckless faction that used toilet water and door-banging monsters should be the four major families that controlled the underground water system and amber gold.

The balance presented by the hotel was actually created intentionally by the four major families, because there is a road leading to the ancient city under the hotel and Wayne Manor. However, because the victims were Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne, the manor must be extremely dangerous, so the descendants of the four major families can only come to the ancient city through the hotel.

When the pollution breaks out, the hotel will definitely become dangerous. There must be a force to balance the pollution of the outer gods to ensure that those who get the metal can come to the ancient city smoothly. So they use the underground sewers to mix the amber gold containing Gotham's dark pollution into the water and then send it into the hotel to fight against the pollution of the outer gods.

Those monsters in the hotel who have basically no brains and can only bang on doors are actually polluted by the darkness of Gotham, just like those crazy animals polluted by Gotham's rain.

The clever thing is that Gotham locals like Jerome and Cobblepot are actually not afraid of the contamination of amber gold. It's like when there are too many lice, they don't itch. They have been caught in countless rains since they were young. Even if there is a high concentration of amber gold, it can only make them high for a while at most. This is the guarantee for them to pass through the hotel and go to the ancient city.

From a general perspective, the plan of the four major families was executed perfectly. If it weren't for their lack of some theoretical knowledge of mysticism and their bad luck, and Barbatos just happened to be imprisoned in the source of darkness, they would have really started the big metal event today.

But unfortunately, as Schiller said, a miss is as good as a mile. Barbatos can't come today, Gray Mist came for a drink and then ran away, and a certain Dark Lord's spokesperson is good at nothing except running errands. Schiller really doesn't know how to solve this mess.

As the saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. In the whole story, there is only one heavyweight protagonist who has not appeared.

As soon as Schiller thought of this, he saw the surrounding scene rapidly receding. Within just a few seconds, the dark and damp walls of the ancient underground city had retreated tens of thousands of meters away, and those people who were originally close at hand became smaller and smaller and disappeared into the horizon.

A cold wind blew, and countless snowflakes flew in the air. When Schiller opened his eyes, he saw only a vast expanse of white earth. A group of hunched figures walked by on the skyline, but disappeared in the wind and snow in an instant.

With a clang, Schiller heard something fall to the ground. He turned around and saw a black object on the snow not far away.

He walked over and found that it was a flute, which seemed to be made of damp ebony. When Schiller picked it up, he found that it was heavier than he had imagined. There was no need to play it. Just the sound of the wind on the snow field made it make a humming sound.

Schiller put the flute to his lips and paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about what kind of music to play. After a while, a cheerful tune sounded on the snowy field.

Generally speaking, people call this cheerful, humorous and childlike song - Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

The flute disappeared with a snap.

Schiller smiled and didn't care. He walked forward because he had already seen a small wooden house in the direction the flute pointed.

It seemed very close but it was actually very far away. Schiller walked for a long time but still couldn't reach it. However, he still insisted on moving forward and looked back at the long trail of footprints he left on the snowy field.

Finally he arrived at the door of the cabin, shook off the snow and wind on his body, and when he opened the door, the scene in front of him changed again.

This is a dark cemetery. There is no sky, no sun or moon. There is only endless darkness, towering tombs, and shadowy tombstones whose shapes cannot be seen clearly.

The skyline was filled with tall rooms, from which came the terrifying, hoarse and crazy sounds of drums and the monotonous and subtle tones of flutes.

Schiller walked towards the big house, passed row after row of tombs, and came to the tall building that seemed to be the residence of a giant.

The buildings spread out from there, layer by layer, down, and Schiller found himself standing on the edge of a cliff. The stacked houses guarded the largest room in the middle.

Schiller saw many black shadows holding golden instruments dancing between the buildings. The dance was graceful and strange, and from time to time there was a desolate song floating in the wind.

Schiller stood at the edge of the cliff, the wind blowing his hair and robes, and he shouted to the bottom of the cliff: "Nyarlathotep -"

No one responded to him. A gust of wind blew and Schiller was blinded. He stretched out his arm to block it, but when he put his arm down, he found himself in a desert.

The tall pyramids in the distance sparkled brightly under the sunlight. People leading camels walked by in the distance, and the wind carried the moisture of the oasis.

Schiller looked back and saw an oasis in the distance. He didn't know if it was a mirage, but he still walked towards the pyramid.

This time the distance was not far, and he soon arrived at the gate of the pyramid. However, this pyramid was much taller than the real pyramids. When standing in front of the gate, the human was not even as tall as a brick at the door.

Schiller walked in along the carpet. The structure here was not at all similar to the pharaoh's tomb. It was more like a huge temple. Statues of Anubis were placed in rows on both sides of the passage, and portraits of the pharaoh were hung on the wall with solemn faces.

Schiller walked forward until he came to a brightly lit temple hall. He saw a tall figure standing in front of the throne. He was wearing the clothes of a pharaoh. His black and gold robe dragged on the ground and spread down the steps like golden quicksand.

There was an arrogant elegance in his every move, and his dark appearance exuded an irresistible attraction. His eyes, so dark that one could hardly see the eyeballs, emitted a faint light in the dim room.

When he looked over, Schiller met his eyes.
