Three-stream detection simulator

Hibida, who was sprinting on the rooftops of urban residential buildings, suddenly stopped and sniffed around with the tip of his nose twitching.

It smelled of Hercules. It's very shallow, but it cannot be ignored for the Yuan Devouring Beast. Looking for the source of the smell, it briefly left Harleen Quinzel's path and saw two small bottles among a pile of old tires.

One of them seemed to be made of glass, exuding coolness from the inside out, and contained some kind of clear liquid. The other is a metal spray can with a layer of paint on the surface. The background of the picture is a cold and dark lead-gray city. In the center of the picture is a woman in a red dress outlined with a few lines. She has closed eyes and red lips. Bright, holding an orange-red violin.

The smell of detective comes from glass bottles and spray cans.

Hibida knew without any knowledge that this was something Hercule had missed here. It checked the seal to make sure that the contents of the bottle would not spill out during strenuous exercise, then opened its mouth and stretched out two tentacles to wrap a bottle around it, and then jumped back to the roof next to it.

When passing by the window, a baby in the room with a pacifier in his mouth stared at it dumbfounded, then looked down at the harmless cat pattern on the picture album with the word 'cat' written on it. The next second, he slapped the card with both hands, raised his head and howled. Cry loudly.

"Let you know in advance that society is dangerous and cute things are traps." Hibida purred towards the window, "You're welcome."

It puffed out its chest, shook its beard, and walked to the end of the eaves with cat steps. There were a few local wild cats in the alley below. They cursed and walked away after seeing its tentacles.

It's very close to the central station. Hercule sent a message to Harleen and asked her to wait for him near the station. Hibida could smell the lingering scent of the detective and Batman around him.

It didn't want to wait too long, and was worried that Hercule would be in danger, so it followed the smell and entered the familiar maze. It followed the scent 'clearance guide' left by the detective and quickly found the exit of the maze.

Hibida first saw Batman's back, and then Hercule who was a few steps away.

In front of his best friend stood a sad-looking dog. Hercule was staring down at the floor, while the dog quietly moved its paws towards his calves. The tip of its slowly waving tail was about to touch the detective's suit pants.

The hair on Xibida’s back exploded!

Society is so dangerous. If you leave for a while, a dog will take advantage of it! It couldn't imagine that the place where it often rubbed itself would be contaminated with the smell of dog hair. It immediately swooped over like a tiger descending a mountain, and was about to slap the dog and fly it into the universe!

**

Hercule stared at the female body beneath the transparent floor. Her face was still beautiful, but it was paler than the corpse brought by the clown, and the rise and fall of her chest was almost non-existent.

Shania Fordham once accepted a commission from the Court of Owls and used a golden hourglass to approach the detective to seek the mechanical heart. After the traces of the crime were exposed, she was arrested and was taken away by the Court of Owls on the way to prison. She was the first person Hercule met who heard about the game character 'Detective'.

"Something strange. You said that the Court of Owls wanted to turn her into their undead army 'Claw' after brainwashing, but they failed. When you happened to pass by Gotham, you found her dying, so you sent me A letter of help?"

Hercule asked Chairman Dog: "Why me?"

"I found that her genes naturally reject the Dionysian factor and cannot obtain immortality in this way." The chairman said, "But the Court of Owls does not know this. When they injected the diluted Dionysian factor, that is, amber gold, into It immediately triggered a strong allergic reaction in her body. However, the court had not yet asked her about the whereabouts of the golden hourglass, so it had to temporarily seal her body in liquid amber gold to forcibly maintain her life. ”

Hercule: "So she can't leave here now. Once she gets out of the self-healing liquid, the allergic reaction will kill her in an instant."

"Yes. As for why I should help her ask you for help... In fact, a human life is insignificant from the perspective of time and space." Chairman Gou stood outside the aperture with a solemn face, "I can see The origin of the world hundreds of millions of years ago, and the end of the universe at the end of the dimension. There are too many lives in between, and human beings are just a slightly strange pebble on the beach. "

Hercule: "The argument you set at the beginning of your speech is quite broad. If I were to listen here at night, could you deliver takeout at noon?"

I don’t know if the helmsman always speaks in this style. How do the employee NPCs of Ark Pharmaceutical endure it in the game? Doesn’t it take an hour for the boss to start a meeting just quoting scriptures and talking nonsense?

There is no need to assume that it will last until evening! Chairman Gou hesitated for a moment and shook his ears uneasily: "Really, did I talk too much again? Just let me calm down."

It wrinkled its face and thought for a long time, then said: "Start from the beginning. Why should I look for you? Because... to make a long story short, because I see that your fate is slightly related to this lady. You have to know that an individual's future is affected by too much." Affected by many factors, it may change at any time. The common destiny of mankind leads to the future of mankind, and the destiny of all life on the planet leads to the future of the planet, and then extends to the universe..."

In order to prove Hercule's mental stability, this sentence was also broadcast to Batman. At this moment, Batman crossed his arms and tapped his fingers impatiently.

"I'm going too far. In short, under normal circumstances, an individual's life or death, luck or misfortune will not develop a parallel universe. Now I can only observe the overall torrent of destiny, and cannot be specific to individuals. Only Detective, you are the exception.”

The chairman's brows knitted together, and Hercule felt that he was mainly worried about how to stop rambling and finish this sentence in a hundred words, "I can't tell you much other information, but you should have own thoughts.”

Hercule thought: "I have met Ms. Fordham, but we only got along for a few days. The relationship is between a client and an employee."

The pug didn't seem very sure. He tilted his head and thought for a while: "Well... I think the connection between you is a little stronger than this."

That shouldn't be the time point or world line we are currently experiencing.

Hercule stared at Shania, seemingly in a daze, his thoughts gradually drifting away at high speed. When he stood still, the pug quietly moved its hips and moved a few positions toward where he was standing.

Before Hercule noticed it, a lightning-like black shadow suddenly appeared behind them and threw the pug to the ground in the blink of an eye! !

Cat hair and dog hair flew everywhere for a while. Hercule didn't expect Chairman Dog to be standing so close, so he took several steps back before he could see what was happening: "Hibida?"

"Meow meow meow!" Xibida was so angry that she cursed in earth cat language, "meow meow meow meow?!"

"No, I don't like dogs," replied Hercule, "and I happen to be doubting its position, so you've come just in time."

Batman:?

Hibida: "Meow meow!"

Hercule continued: "I won't disturb you. You two can fight as you like."

Batman:? ?

Hibida: "Meow meow meow meow."

Hercule: "Yes, those two bottles should be mine. If it's convenient, you can hand them to me now."

The two tentacles did not participate in the fight and went around to hand the main mission reward to the detective.

Batman had known that Hercule could use a black-tech translator to communicate with the element-devouring beast, but now that the intermediary has been removed, Hercule and the cat can communicate without any barriers, but Hibida and the dog Director No one thought anything was wrong.

——The only normal person feels the magic of the world.

Hibida's strength is obviously higher than that of a dog, which will knock the chairman to the ground and beat him. Hercule doesn't know whether their disparity in combat power is reasonable. After all, the helmsman (dog?) of Ark Pharmaceuticals in the game is indeed not known for his individual strength.

After dozens of rounds, the black cat pushed the pug to the ground. The latter struggled a few times and couldn't turn over, but he didn't look angry. He only turned to look at Hercule strangely and asked:

"I thought the exchange between the two of us was quite pleasant. What's wrong with my position?"

Hibida said proudly: "He doesn't like dogs."

The chairman, who was lying on the floor with his legs curled up, was neither discouraged nor arrogant. He just said in a depressed tone: "That's not the case."

"Indeed." Hercule said, "I just want to ask you to come here to help Ms. Fordham. If I save her, I will establish a deeper relationship with her than 'client and hired person'." Contact... Is this a repetition of what you said about the fate line? So what is the difference between what I am doing and those of Tianqi Company and Ark Pharmaceuticals under your name? "

This was the first time he mentioned Ark Pharmaceuticals in front of Chairman Gou, who was obviously stunned for a moment.

"So that's what happened... So that's what happened!" It repeated it twice, looked at Hercule again, and said without any clue, "You must have many questions in your mind. Repeating the fate line is not my fault." My original intention is that I am not your enemy, but I’m afraid I shouldn’t meet you. The four taboos of Tianqi Company are quite well summarized, ‘no meeting, no communication’... I have to think of another way.”

A premonition suddenly arose in Hercule's heart. Sure enough, the next second, the pug on the ground softened, closed his eyes and became motionless.

Hibida was startled, took her paws away from its neck, and tested its breathing and heartbeat: "It's still alive."

However, next time this dog opens its eyes, it will probably be an ordinary dog.

Hercule still didn't want to get close. Batman planned to ask someone to bring the iron cage to put the dog away, but the people under the floor were not easy to deal with.

"Let her stay here first," Hercule said. "She needs a lot of amber gold to sustain her life, and the Court of Owls has been busy with their affairs recently, so maybe she has been forgotten."

The reward for this main mission is ‘processed amber gold sample x1, a small jar of coat special repair solution x1’. Right now, a piece of amber gold was in his pocket, but he had no intention of using it.

Insufficient quantity is one aspect.

Mainly... Hercule had doubts about the main mission promulgated by the system. Its rewards are pure and rare, but the main line of any game must have an ultimate goal. Why does the main line of "Third-Rate Detective Simulator" exist?

Before figuring this out, Hercule didn't want to follow its lead and use the amber gold.

It was broad daylight when Hercule stood outside again. The two sneaked out of the subway station while the passengers were not paying attention. The Batmobile was parked in a hidden corner. Harvey was still sleeping soundly in the back seat. Harleen was leaning against the wall boredly, holding a hammer. , head bit by bit, almost falling asleep.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and she suddenly opened her eyes and said excitedly: "Good morning, detective! This must be Batman, I am Hua... I am Harley Quinn, the detective's temporary assistant! What other tasks are there next? ?”

"You can go home and get some sleep, Harley." Hercule said, "And please don't tell anyone that I'm still alive."

Mentioning this, Harleen immediately cast a resentful look: "I was frightened by your video. Is it synthetic? By the way, when I was standing here just now, there was a smell of blood entering my nose. By the way, the smell is coming from the trunk of the Batmobile. Will I be silenced?"

Batman who was mistaken for a corpse:...

Hercule cleared his grievances, took the initiative to open the back cover of the car, and humbly admitted: "Mr. Batman is innocent. In fact, the murderer is me."

Harleen wasn't expecting it at all. She took one step back, then took two steps forward, her eyes brightening.

"This fake corpse is really lifelike," she said. "Of course, I'm not interested in spying on your corpse, but the wounds on it were all caused by your own hands. When I think of this, I feel - ah Damn it, I should have rewatched the video at Owl Woman’s house!”

Annoyed and reluctant to leave, she walked away, and before leaving, she warned: "Remember to go to the hospital, detective!"

The long night is finally over.

But there are still a few hours before the end of the Heart of Machinery's duration.

Batman used the Batmobile to block Hercule in the middle of the road, and was ready to fight Hibida. He said gloomily in the tone he usually used to threaten criminals: "Harley Quinn is right, detective. It's time for you to decide - the Batcave or Arkham Sanitarium?"

Hercule didn't like going to friends' houses very much. He was somewhat averse to living in a bright, warm and peaceful environment with several closely related people under the same roof. He had also declined Harvey's previous invitation because the prosecutor was living with his girlfriend.

Except for places like Iron Man where I am the company and the company is me and there is no family atmosphere.

His eyes drifted to the side, and the celestial sense took effect. With his left eye, he saw the shadow of a raven hovering in the sky, and in his ears he heard the chirping sound of Gotham coming from the upside-down world, which seemed to be laughing.

Tsk. The detective, who felt he was being laughed at, got into the passenger seat with a straight face:

"Go to Arkham. Since I'm the Joker now, you'd better have special access that no one can see."

He also wanted to find a valid reason for submitting to the evil forces of his friends without fighting. But after the Batmobile started, from the perspective of his left eye, the shadow of a raven with Gotham imagery hovered and fell on the window, and gently pecked the hair on his temples.
