Batman and Hak foo

Inside the hospital, Peter Parker watched as the doctors examined the unconscious person, but they couldn't find anything. All of the unconscious person's vital signs were normal, as if they were truly just asleep.

But it was obvious that after being brought to the hospital by Peter Parker and undergoing so many tests, even the deepest sleeper should have woken up by now, but this person showed no reaction whatsoever.

This made Peter Parker initially thought it might just be an ordinary event, begin to wonder if he had encountered something supernatural. It might not seem like a big danger for an ordinary person to fall asleep in the street, but if the number of people sleeping in the street increased, it would be a major disaster!

It's important to understand that not everyone happens to fall asleep in a safe location. Leaving aside what would happen to drivers of various vehicles in this situation, even pedestrians walking on the road could have an accident if they suddenly fall asleep...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Spider-Man- Man, I haven't been able to find anything. And if we can't find anything here, we probably can't find anything anywhere else either. You should contact his family and have them take him home..." Just as Peter Parker was having doubts, the doctor beside him looked at Peter Parker and advised him. After all, hospital expenses are not low, and they didn't even know who this unconscious person was. If they continued to examine and treat him, who knew how much money they would spend.

"Doctor! Doctor! Another person who's passed out has been brought in. Should we examine them?" Before Peter Parker could even speak, Nurse shouted loudly from the other side. The person who arrived was the next person to fall into a deep sleep.

The first unconscious patient wasn't brought in as quickly as Peter Parker; he arrived after the first unconscious patient had already been examined. But it was precisely because Peter Parker had sent the first unconscious patient to the hospital that others followed suit and brought in the second unconscious patient as well. Peter Parker, in a way, set a good example...

"There's definitely something wrong here!" Peter Parker's initial suspicions were instantly confirmed. He quickly contacted Jarvis, "Jarvis, are there any other examples of the Sleepers?"

"Please wait a moment..." Jarvis naturally still has information about the sleepers, but that information concerns S.H.I.E.L.D.. and other official agencies. Peter Parker has the authority to know this, but he needs to inform Tony Stark in advance.

"What?! Ordinary people are also experiencing that kind of coma?!" On the other side, Tony Stark received Jarvis's message and his expression changed drastically. Tony Stark had previously ignored these incidents because they occurred to various official forces and did not affect the normal lives of ordinary people, so Tony Stark did not pay attention to them.

But things are different now. There have been cases of ordinary people suddenly falling into a deep sleep, and Peter Parker has encountered two such cases. This is enough to show that those who previously targeted S.H.I.E.L.D.. and other official forces may now be targeting ordinary people!

"Jarvis! Get all the data, everything about the sleepers. Also, see if there are any other cases like this besides these two in New York!" Tony Stark snapped out of his daze and issued one order after another. He was well aware of the dangers of this ability.

Perhaps this ability is not very destructive, and may not even attract much attention, nor will it affect as many people as an explosion. However, this constant threat will bring immense fear to Human Society!

It's like countless venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, ready to bite you to death at any moment. If this news gets out, the whole society will be thrown into complete chaos. In Extremis, who knows what might happen?

Therefore, Tony Stark must investigate this matter thoroughly and cannot allow such a potential crisis to continue!

"Sir, the investigation has been completed. It's not just New York that has seen mysterious sleepers; sleepers have appeared in most cities, although at most two are in close proximity, while the others are quite far apart..." Jarvis's voice quickly rang out again.

"However, those cities where no unconscious individuals were found may not necessarily be free of unconscious individuals; they may simply have simply not been discovered..."

"There are several in every place, they're really being careful. Are they afraid of being discovered? If Peter hadn't been lucky enough to run into this, he probably would have succeeded!" Tony Stark said in a deep voice, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Take the recent patients who have fallen into a coma to my private hospital. I need to investigate their condition thoroughly. Meanwhile, keep a close watch on the entire city and, while you're at it, hack into the databases of S.H.I.E.L.D.. and other related organizations to see if you can find out what force has put them into this coma!"

"Yes, sir!" Jarvis responded and quickly began his work. Meanwhile, Peter Parker learned of more cases of unconscious individuals, and his expression turned serious. He took two unconscious individuals to Tony Stark's private hospital and continued patrolling the streets.

What Tony Stark and Peter Parker didn't know was that someone else had also discovered the Sleepers' existence. Of course, this person wasn't Clark or Robet, but rather Batman Dark Knight of Gotham.

In Gotham, Shadow-Devouring Soldiers appeared and devoured two shadows, but before Shadow-Devouring Soldiers could leave, Shadow-Devouring Soldiers was immediately surrounded.

Yes, they were surrounded. The Shadow Warrior had completely surrounded the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, staring intently at him with unfriendly expressions.

The atmosphere when the two different Shadowkhan met seemed a bit strained. After all, this was Shadow Warrior territory, and the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers had barged in like that, so they wouldn't be let off easily.

Especially when Batman learned that this was another Shadowkhan, Batman felt that there might be a chance to find another Shadowkhan Mask!

Putting aside the fact that acquiring the other Shadowkhan Mask would make Batman's trump card even more powerful, the fact that the other Shadowkhan Mask clearly wasn't used for good by its original owner suggests that Batman definitely wants to keep this power in his own hands and not let it continue to be used by others to devour shadows and harm ordinary people...

Therefore, under Batman's control, the Shadow Warrior swiftly began to deal with the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, attempting to suppress them and, incidentally, use his Dark Power to find out the location of Hak foo behind the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, so he could then attack him...

However, to Batman's surprise, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, who had initially been trembling like a little rabbit surrounded by the Shadow Warrior, suddenly erupted. His body instantly grew larger, and his strength increased significantly. He pounced directly into the encirclement of the Shadow Warrior and launched the first attack.

Don't even mention that the Shadowkhan is currently fighting for its own side. Even when they were all in the Dark Dimension, these Shadowkhan did fight each other. However, back then, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers basically never won because their initial state was too weak, and there wasn't enough shadow resources in the Dark Dimension for them to devour in large quantities.

However, after arriving on Earth and consuming a certain number of shadows, the individual strength of the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers can be said to be overwhelming compared to any other Shadowkhan. This Shadow-Devouring Soldiers at this moment demonstrated such terrifying strength!

Faced with dozens of Shadow Warrior, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers single-handedly tore them all apart. However, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers could not devour the Shadow Warrior ' shadows, nor could it gain power from them; otherwise, its strength would be even greater!

"Huh? What's going on?" Batman's eyes flashed with surprise as he noticed what was happening. He had dealt with different Shadowkhan before, and in Batman's view, the Shadowkhan Central City low-level soldiers with similar or equal strength. It was impossible for one person to kill so many people like this!

"Ikka? What's going on?" Batman had to admit that his understanding of the Dark Dimension and the Shadowkhan wasn't that deep, especially since several Shadowkhan leaders had already fallen, which had significantly lowered Batman's priority regarding the Shadowkhan.

In addition, the Joker, who had long since left, even lost control and been targeted by official forces, and later disappeared completely, has reappeared in Gotham. However, this is from the perspective of others, or rather, the Gotham leadership.

In Batman's eyes, he could clearly sense that this Joker was no longer the same Joker as before. Even though they were equally insane, wore the same makeup, and acted in the same way, Batman knew that this was just another madman, not the Joker with whom he had a love-hate relationship.

However, this Joker's abilities and threat level are no less than the previous Joker. Batman went to great lengths to successfully send the Joker to Arkham Asylum. Of course, this was the Joker's first time being admitted...

At this moment, Batman had just solved the problem of the new Joker, but unexpectedly, a new crisis emerged. It even seemed that this crisis was spreading beyond Gotham City, which made Batman wary, especially after witnessing the powerful combat capabilities of the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers.

"The Shadow-Devouring Legion are indeed the most unique among us..." General Ika sighed and explained how the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers could devour shadows to become stronger. Upon hearing this, Batman's expression instantly darkened.

Like Tony Stark, Batman instantly understood just how dangerous this ability was. In fact, Batman knew even more clearly than Tony Stark that the number of Shadow-Devouring Soldiers could be endless. If the person behind it was truly insane, they might actually be able to devour the shadows of most people on Earth!

With a "whoosh!", after hearing General Ika's words, Batman instantly put on the Ika Mask and vanished from the spot.

When Batman reappeared, he was already in front of the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers. Originally, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers were preparing to leave after killing the Shadow Warrior, but Batman summoned new Shadow Warrior at that time. He didn't aim to defeat the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, but only to keep them here. And without a doubt, Batman's method succeeded.

With a roar, the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, almost the size of a small car, roared as it saw Batman appear. It smashed all the surrounding Shadow Warrior into black smoke and disappeared, then pounced on Batman's body.

With a "whoosh," countless Dark Power surged around the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers's body, instantly binding it in place.

Even though the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers could sense that this Dark Power was of the same origin as him, the problem was that this Dark Power was completely beyond his control. Under Batman's control, he had completely lost his freedom.

Even controlling the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers was just the beginning. Batman was controlling Dark Power, trying to find out where Hak foo behind the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, really was...

However, Batman's exploration did not go smoothly. When Batman's Dark Power invaded the power behind the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, a Dark Power no less powerful than Batman severed the connection with the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers, causing the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers to instantly turn into black mist and disappear. Batman also lost the clue to Hak foo's location.

"How decisive. Was he prepared all along?" Batman's eyes flickered slightly as he stared into the darkness, muttering to himself, "However, it's not entirely fruitless. The only thing we know is that he's not in Gotham, or even near Gotham..."

"But this also means that he is indeed acting against the entire Earth, only his actions are relatively covert and not carried out in a high-profile manner. In fact, this makes him even more dangerous!"

While Batman was pondering how to stop Hak foo, Hak foo's expression also darkened. He hadn't expected that someone else had actually obtained the power of the Mask.

Unlike Batman, who couldn't figure out Hak foo's location, Hak foo knew exactly where Batman was...

"Gotham? The Dark City, it lives up to its name!" Hak foo gazed in the direction of Gotham, silently marking this place as outside his operational area. There was no need for him to waste time fighting Batman here. Even though the Shadow-Devouring Soldiers were now stronger than the Shadow Warrior, it didn't mean that the shadows of the Gotham were easier to eat. If a fight broke out, it would actually be a bad thing for Hak foo.

Therefore Batman, Hak foo abandoned Gotham and even several surrounding cities to prevent Gotham from finding him based on any clues...
