American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander

"Deporting instead of destroying shows me the feasibility of the plan, Bruce!"

The moment Bruce finished speaking, Lucius, who knew how powerful he was, pulled Bruce into the Logistics Equipment Department, which is now the Technology Research and Development Department.

Although Lucius and his department were squeezed into the underground of Wayne Group, that did not mean that he lost all his capital.

No matter how unpopular his department is, the resources he has mastered in the past are enough for him to build the equipment department into a large underground organization no less than the Batcave!

The entire equipment department is even comparable to one-third of the area of ​​Gotham, and its depth extends to about 130 meters underground. The internal space is larger enough for Bruce to have a great time racing here!

However, neither Bruce nor Lucius cared about superficiality. As they walked, Lucius continued to speak to Bruce.

“Although the time when the dead soul appeared was very short, I analyzed him immediately.

The information I have so far proves that death cannot effectively restrain the souls of the dead, and can even improve the souls accordingly to a limited extent.

And refusing to die is not the most troublesome thing about the Revenant. Compared with the ability to refuse death, his ability to teleport away anytime and anywhere is the aspect that troubles me the most. "

"And there is no logic or pattern in his teleportation point. This is the real trouble. But our focus should not be on his ability to teleport, but on why he teleports, Lucius!"

"indeed!"

Lucius nodded appreciatively to Bruce, and then led Bruce to his computer.

After finding the information about Downton, Lucius continued while opening various information.

“Based on my investigation into his series of teleportation phenomena, I believe that his teleportation is based on a self-protection mechanism.

He does not have the ability to teleport and disappear anytime and anywhere. On the contrary, his constant disappearance and teleportation are a kind of self-improvement of his self-protection mechanism. "

"Yes, self-protection mechanism. I'm glad you have seen this. I have been tracking and investigating the dead souls in the past two days, and I have indeed come to similar conclusions.

Although I haven't investigated it thoroughly yet, the existing data is almost enough. "

Bruce took up what Lucius said, and then skillfully operated the computer, highlighting several of the video materials and playing them in a loop.

I saw Bruce pointing at Downton in the video and saying.

"Note that the souls of the dead often carry out unconscious and non-subjective instinctive transmissions before they are completely dead or even brain-dead.

From this we can see that whether he teleports or not may not be completely controlled by his subjective control.

Combined with the other abilities he's shown, whether it's becoming stronger after death, or his fundamental strength in refusing to die.

These many abilities come together, and they are all closely related to his overly perfect self-protection mechanism! "

"As you can imagine, Bruce, since all of Downton's abilities are tied to his self-protection mechanism, as long as we target his self-protection mechanism, we can naturally come up with some ways to deal with him."

Lucius said as he quickly made several models on the computer next to him.

At the same time, Bruce nodded slightly and continued.

"This is why I call the target deportation. With the intelligence and technology we currently have, it may not be realistic to kill him, but it is not difficult to keep him deported."

"Yes, we don't need to kill him, we just need to reduce the impact and trouble he causes."

Lucius picked up Bruce and then put the simple models on many screens, while Lucius continued.

“So, if you want to expel Downton, you must find many solutions that can continuously trigger his self-protection mechanism, and integrate many solutions into one device.

As long as such a device is placed in a relatively important location, the soul of the deceased can continuously trigger the self-protection mechanism and thus be unable to approach the target location.

Of course, this can't completely get rid of the influence of the dead souls, but a guy like him can trouble even God.

All in all, here are a few ways to get started.

First, there are infrasound waves with corresponding frequencies that can make people fall into a state of madness. This kind of sound wave can make people lose their self-awareness within a certain frequency and fall into indiscriminate madness. However, it is sealed by me because it is too dangerous.

I'm worried that if this method fails to trigger the soul's self-protection mechanism, it will instead cause the soul to fall into a killing state. With his current physique, that would be too troublesome.

"Indeed, but I can try to change the frequency so that it affects the thoughts of the dead souls alone. The soul's physique far exceeds that of ordinary people, and its resistance to sound waves should also exceed that of ordinary people!

Most importantly, this also allows me to determine whether the soul's self-protection mechanism exists in thinking and consciousness. "

As Bruce spoke, he made changes to Lucius's model, and while he continued to make changes, he continued to speak.

"In addition, I also know a special plant from the Himalayas, which can instill fear in people to the greatest extent.

Once we determine that the soul of the deceased does have a mental self-protection mechanism, then fear may be exploited by us as one of the means to continuously expel him. "

"It's worth a try, but I need to test this plant. Do you have the corresponding ingredients of this kind of plant?"

"Not yet, but I can get it in one day at most. I will leave for Nepal tonight and bring the target back tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Well, I will continue to synthesize the expulsion sound waves here. I hope you can bring back the fear plant itself as soon as possible."

"I will, but the ghost is not a guy we can expel with a few words. We can't afford to fail, so the two backup plans are far from enough!"

Bruce reminded solemnly, and Lucius nodded in understanding.

"Of course, in addition to his self-protection mechanism, there is undoubtedly an evolutionary mechanism in the ghost.

I think we can also target his evolutionary mechanism to create obstacles and traps for him."

"Artificial manipulation of evolution is indeed extremely dangerous, but this danger is just right for the ghost."

Bruce affirmed Lucius's statement, and then made some additions to the model, and said at the same time.

"However, I just briefly looked through the technology models within the group, and we don't seem to be involved in projects such as biological evolution.

The Luthor Group is the most prominent one in this regard. They have reached in-depth cooperation with the military in the field of biological drugs."

"Gotham is facing a special period, Bruce, we really shouldn't covet Luthor's achievements, but we may be able to borrow the military's finished product data."

"Well, I will hack into the military network later and retrieve some internal data from Luthor's biological drug laboratory and Star Laboratory's drug specialty classification."

"In addition, Bruce, although science seems to be our most reliable support, theology should not be forgotten by us.

After all, the existence of the dead is magical enough, I even think he is more magical than Jesus!"

Seeing Bruce gradually find the direction, Lucius couldn't help but remind him.

"Since we can't explain the source of all the abilities of the dead souls with our knowledge and technology, why don't we look for clues from history and mythology?

So, Bruce, I suggest that the Wayne Group hold a theological and historical seminar worldwide, and integrate all the myths of various countries and races that are similar to the current abilities of the dead souls."

"But..."

Hearing Lucius' words, Bruce instinctively resisted.

But before Bruce could say anything, Lucius interrupted him and continued.

"Don't say buts, Bruce. After the appearance of such a magical existence as the Revenant, I can't imagine how much of the world's history has been hidden.

Once someone like the Revenant appears in the past, he will obviously become a god in the story. Of course, he is more likely to be a terrifying demon king.

In short, while we are close to the goal of repelling the Revenant in technology, we need to gather historians and mythologists from all over the world, as well as famous archaeologists in the industry, to explore the possible roots of the Revenant."

"Okay!"

Listening to Lucius' words, Bruce thought for a short time and nodded heavily.

"The Revenant has only appeared in Gotham for two days, and it has already affected the normal operation of Gotham. If he continues to act recklessly, even the United States and the world will have to deal with such a huge trouble.

This is not Gotham's own trouble, but a global event that can cause a huge impact. I would like to name it the Revenant Event!

Let me see which famous scholars are currently eligible for our invitation.

Matthew Sandra, Kent Nelson, Paul Watson, Tean Dury and Diana Prince, etc., headed by these people, I need you to sort out the list tonight.

After the board meeting at noon tomorrow, I will let the group set up the project and send a comprehensive invitation to the global archaeologists listed on your list.

As for now, I should go to Nepal to find that terrifying plant!"

Boss, please vote!
