Chapter 32 Destiny



John Dee has been obsessed with dreams since he was a child.

He believes that dreams are the most incredible things in the world. No matter what kind of person they are, poor, weak, or born with defects, only in dreams are all equal.

Dreams are the best gift God has given to people. Only here can you be free, put aside all stress and worries, and even get rid of the prison of the weak human body, become anyone, and do anything that is impossible during the day.

He was obsessed with the study of dreams and the concept called "lucid dreaming", trying to let his brain control dreams intentionally. Unfortunately, there were some side effects during this process, which had some unexpected effects on his spirit.

That's why he ended up in Arkham.

But this instead brought him new opportunities in life.

The sensory enhancement device was a piece of equipment donated to Arkham Asylum by a cutting-edge scientific research institution. Its design purpose is to help the study of human dreams and to enhance people's senses to a certain extent.

Because it is more dangerous in the experimental stage, in order to avoid the need for a large number of experimental volunteers, the research team reached an agreement with the lunatic asylum and borrowed the lunatics detained here for testing.

This is simply the best gift God has given to John Dee.

He was madly obsessed with this machine. The moment he looked forward to most every week was the few minutes he could try out the machine as a volunteer. Because of the risks, doctors did not allow patients to use it longer.

John succeeded. With the help of this machine, he felt that the dream module in his mind had been developed more and more clearly. Now he could almost control his dreams freely, and it had no negative impact on himself. Because of this, the mental problems he had when he was first imprisoned in the asylum were resolved.

"Your recovery is incredible. I say you will be discharged from the hospital next month." The doctor said to him with a smile.

At that time, John thought that his life was about to reach its peak. It was equivalent to him going to Arkham and getting what he had dreamed of for many years, and he could return to the trajectory of his life.

Then he was greenlit.

It was his girlfriend who told him when she learned that he would be discharged from the hospital next month. She was already with John's best friend and they were getting married.

The sudden hat stunned him. But it didn't take long for him to be convinced that this couple must have been having an affair for a long time, and there might even have been problems before he entered Arkham.

Suddenly, his desire to go out faded away, which prompted him to have the boldest idea in his life.

He attacked the doctor, illegally activated the dangerous perception enhancement device, and used it on himself, with all its power fully activated.

He knew this could be dangerous, and that if he wasn't careful, his brain would turn into burnt bread. But he doesn't care.

Failure or failure.

And he succeeded. So Dr. Destiny was born, a god of dreams who dominates dreams and has power beyond the reach of humans!

Using this power, he easily killed his ex-girlfriend and the friend who cheated on him in his dream. And he soon realized he could do more than that.

He wants to drag the world into an eternal nightmare and become the god of the new world!

Then

Then he was shot.

So much so that now that he has returned to reality, he has discovered that there are still sequelae.

Now whenever he closes his eyes, the giant with eyes like two salted eggs will appear in front of him, and the feeling of being filled and the tearing pain will also follow.

Even if he tried to use his power to create any dream, he could never get the horrific scene out of his mind. The direct consequence is that no matter what dream he creates now, that terrifying giant will definitely appear in the scene.

The fear of destruction has been indelibly burned into his DNA, causing all his dreams to become his nightmares!

John was going crazy when he suddenly realized someone was approaching his hiding place.

The perception enhancer not only gave him the ability to manipulate dreams, but also strengthened his spirit and senses. He can sense the approach of any thinking living person within a certain range.

So he quickly discovered who was approaching.

Batman.

Batman may be the first person in the city to notice Dr. Destiny.

What first caught his attention was the information that John's ex-girlfriend and fiancé died suddenly in a nightmare. He pays attention to every death in the city every day, and any death that may be suspicious that the police will not pay attention to will be carefully investigated by him.

Within a day, he linked the murder to John Dee, who had escaped from Arkham, and the illegally activated perception enhancement device.

Then the nightmare that enveloped Gotham erupted.

Relying on some mind control techniques he learned during his travels around the world, plus a little bat-like willpower, Batman forced his way out of the nightmare. Contacting the case of the previous day, he quickly thought that John Dee, who had gained superpowers, might be the culprit.

Based on his proficiency in trace science and following the clues from the prison break scene, Batman quickly found this place, where John Dee - or Dr. Destiny should be called now - was hiding.

But the moment he pushed open the door of the house, everything around him began to spin.

The old room disappeared, and the scene rolled away like a tide. The black and white picture was like a scene taken from an old video tape from the last century. When he came back to his senses, he was already in a dark alley, with the street lights emitting a gloomy and dim light.

Batman's pupils shrank.

This is a scene he will never forget in his life.

Crime Alley.

A man and a woman, holding a small child, walked into this alley.

The reason why they came to this unfortunate place at this unfortunate time was because the child asked to leave early before the movie ended.

No, this is not true.

Batman tried to close his eyes and shook his head.

At such a close distance, Dr. Destiny's superpower effect is enhanced to the extreme. Without falling into a dream, he can make the target accept his ability to create dreams.

Batman ignored it all and moved on.

Then the gunman showed up.

A robber holding an old pistol. It seems that the God of Death, who came here following the guidance of fate, is destined to pull the trigger at this moment.

No, this is just a nightmare. Batman continued to himself.

Stay on task. Afu is still in a nightmare, Gordon is also in a nightmare, and this city is both dangerous.

It's too late to save both of them, but you can save the others.

Too late.

boom.

Gunshots rang out, and two flashes of fire pierced the silent alley.

"No!" He finally yelled out uncontrollably.

Only this scene, only this night, he could not ignore.

Men and women fell, pearl necklaces bouncing on the ground.

In a daze, Batman and the helpless child's figures overlapped, and they knelt down amidst the pearls and blood everywhere.

Under the sophisticated equipment and cloak of darkness, he was still just an eight-year-old boy, kneeling in a pool of his parents' blood and crying.

Then Thomas Wayne, who was lying on the ground, suddenly moved.

He stood up staggeringly from the pool of blood, his face as pale as a zombie, holding a death-like scythe in his hand.

"It's all your fault."

"If you didn't insist on watching this damn movie."

"If you didn't ask to leave early"

Batman still bowed his head and knelt down, unresponsive.

Thomas Wayne raised his scythe.

"You killed us!"

The sickle swung down.

But at that moment, the hand under the cloak shot out and grabbed his wrist, preventing the scythe from falling.

Batman slowly raised his head, his eyes shining with anger but determination under his mask.

The scene changes again. The pool of blood and pearl necklaces, the bodies on the ground, the dim lights and the entire crime alley disappeared in an instant.

Including Thomas Wayne's figure also disappeared, replaced by a shocked John Dee, the hand holding the sharp knife was grasped by Batman.

"How is it possible!?"

John Dee was shocked beyond measure.

"You resist my nightmare?"

"At this distance? Still looking directly into my eyes!?"

He is Dr. Destiny, the master of nightmares! His ability is so strong that he can drag the entire city into the hell of nightmares, decide their life and death, and make them surrender to him forever!

It was just that the dream was shattered by that inexplicable giant - that thing didn't look like a human being, maybe it was a god or something else.

And this guy in front of me is an ordinary guy wearing a bat suit.

He can protect his face from his own ultimate move!

Why?

John looked at him with difficulty and squeezed out the last question through his teeth.

"Why.?"

The fist landed on his face.

Looking at John Dee who was unconscious on the ground at his feet, Batman had no expression on his face.

"Because I'm Batman."
