"Welcome to... Horror Paradise." A deep male voice read out the opening remarks.

[Loading completed, you are currently playing Team Survival Mode (Normal). ]

[This mode provides a brief script introduction, and there is a chance of side/hidden tasks and special world views. 】

【Script introduction will be played soon, and the game will start immediately after the playback is completed. 】

The system prompts that the playback is complete, and the players immediately switch to the first-person perspective of watching the opening cg.

In front of them, a night sky suddenly appeared.

There, you can't see the moon and stars, but you can see countless different colors of light.

Green, blue, yellow, purple, white and black... piece by piece, like paint splashed on a canvas, dyeing the night sky bizarre.

Under the night sky, there is a city.

In Feng Bujue's view, this place is familiar, but strange...

It's like the same character drawn by two cartoonists with different styles. There must be two completely different temperaments.

"Is it Gotham..." Feng Bujue thought, "What kind of story will it be this time..."

【Perhaps Bruce will never think that there will be such a future. 】

The voice of the man before, as a narrator, began to narrate: 【Gotham City has become a place with austere order and power. 】

【The people in the city all knelt at the feet of the same "god" with extreme fear and fanatical religious worship. 】

【the_bruce】

【This is his name. Of course, people also call him God, His Highness, the King of Gotham. Or... Batman. 】

【He is certainly not the real Bruce Wayne. The legend of the first generation of Batman is a long time ago. 】

【He is the descendant of Batman, the man who inherited the cloak, the ruler of Gotham. 】

"So that's it, is it this curious work..." When Feng Bujue heard this, he already knew the general plot of the script. Because he had read this comic before. As long as he searched in the mind hall, the outline of the whole story would emerge; it wouldn't take long. Some details would become clear.

However... Brother Jue also knew that the established script that appeared in "Horror Paradise" might not develop according to the plot of the original work. If you rely too much on your understanding of the original plot, you may suffer a great loss.

[December 21, the longest night of the year, a night of pursuit and challenge.] The narration continues.

[As in previous years, the "ceremony" began in the castle - the cathedral with black bat wings belonging to the_bruce.]

Accompanied by the narration. The camera slowly moved down, and a majestic castle appeared in the CG screen.

It was a typical Gothic building with tall spires, upright arches, and huge stained glass windows. There were huge flying buttresses, slender beams, and a cliff-like open platform on the outside of the building (it can also be regarded as a balcony. However, there is no top and wall, only a circle of stone railings).

"Long live the bat!" On the semicircular platform protruding outward, a man with gray hair, glasses, and a brown windbreaker shouted a slogan. This man who looked to be in his fifties looked very much like Commissioner Gordon back then.

"Praise the Bat!" "King of Gotham!" Thousands of people gathered on the street, wearing strange costumes (future costumes, but they looked like cheap rags, if I had to describe it... it was like the beggar version of the Saiyan battle suit), raised their hands, looked up at the people on the castle platform, and shouted devoutly.

"What day is today?" The man on the top shouted, "Who am I?"

"Bloodbath Night!" "Gordon (the_gordon)!" The crowd responded.

"Yes, I am Gordon, your highest executive, the prophet of His Highness Bruce, the messenger who foreshadowed his coming!" He shouted at the top of his voice, "Praise the Bat! Praise his righteous act of killing for Gotham!"

[This is the night of purification. ]

[Every year to this night, the villains who once fought against Batman will be "resurrected"... and Batman will kill them again. 】

【So, this is also an endless night...】

"Look... your ancient enemies have awakened from death!" The man who called himself "Gordon" was still speaking passionately, "... and once again bound by the power of His Highness Bruce."

As he spoke, four cylindrical glass cabins slowly emerged from the building. In each glass column, there was a person fixed by metal shackles.

Anyone who has read Batman comics can easily identify who they are...

"Joker, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Poison Ivy..." Gordon reported the identities of the four people one by one, then paused, "The ritual requires that they all be released from their restraints..." When he said this, he suddenly laughed grimly.

His laughter was clearly broadcast through the intercom device at his mouth. The big screens everywhere in the city were all showing close-ups of his face and that terrifying laugh...

"...The terror from a hundred years ago will sweep across the streets again, with explosions, gunfire, crying, screaming..." Gordon quickly added, "Only the bat can save you! The bat sympathizes with your fear and shares your hatred... He will reward your faith with the blood of those villains!"

This guy was like a charlatan, dancing and speaking with a distorted face...

"Long live Batman!" "Long live the King of Gotham!" "Long live the_Bruce!" Such shouts rang out throughout the city.

At the same time, the CG camera followed the trend.

But...at the top of the castle, a lonely, strong figure had spread his black "wings" and landed on the top of the city. (To be continued...)
