Three-stream detection simulator

Hercule thought he would be startled by the name and wake up from his sleep, but he didn't.

**

"I was once human."

Shania Fordham said to Hercule as she sat against the wall in an abandoned warehouse.

This is a period of time before the main line of the game starts.

She was lubricating her knees. High-quality androids don't have this kind of trouble, but the detective she hired was penniless, and she herself encountered a slump in her career, so she could only replace old parts in installments and pay at any time after the storm. Perform maintenance.

"I was very satisfied with my identity as a human being. I had a career, a husband, and a family. Then my husband died, and the killer organization that killed him invited me to join, and I took the opportunity to sit in a higher position. Later I His boss died, and I replaced him. Finally, my boss’s boss also died, and I became the leader of a huge force.”

"Ordinary people don't know what I do. They think I am a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, and politician. In fact, I have never stopped selling people."

Hercule held a piece of sandwich in his hand, holding his nose and eating it reluctantly. Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at her: "Is this allowed to be said?"

Shania smiled.

The fine lines at the corners of her eyes are cleverly stacked together when she smiles. I heard that she spent a lot of money to find a designer, so that her face will not look too young and inconsistent with her temperament, nor will it look too old and lackluster.

"It couldn't be said before. At that time, society was not what it is now..."

There was a small stone stuck between her fingers. She inserted the screwdriver and pried it hard, bringing up the bright blue blood line. "It's naked and cruel. Many people look one way on the outside and another on the back. At least they look the same." OK. You know, a century ago people were still worshiping superheroes in comic books. People called the beginning of the last century the golden age, probably because they had hope. "

Hercule: "I remember a German proverb: 'Hope is a noose that leads to death.'"

"Incisive,"

Shania nodded in agreement,

"Then the world was in chaos. A few decades ago, there was a craze on the earth to upload thoughts to computers to obtain immortality. It was proved to be a conspiracy of capitalists. Technology has not yet developed to the level it is today, and mechanical bodies have many inconveniences.

But I had no choice - my body was terminally ill, and God knows why the very things that others might use to save my life were poison to me, and I had to abandon my human body in order to survive. "

"All humans are mortal, and you can choose to die as a human being."

"You are so rude, detective. You are right, and my choice is also right. Human beings are allowed to want anything, money, power, food... So why can't it be eternal life?"

Shania said calmly, "I can't let go of my power. Only when you sit in that position will you know that the saying "no desires and no demands" is something only people who lack ability and short knowledge can say.

Hercule was noncommittal: "Your description is indeed moving. But if the power in your hands is really that powerful, why are we sitting here chatting today?"

"Because the world situation has changed in recent years." Shania said, with a hint of emotion in her expression, "I am no longer young...I am still often frightened by the turbulent developments on this planet.

In the past, how could I have expected that Tianqi Company would become such a terrifying behemoth? It is like a giant dragon entrenched in the universe, relying on brute force to destroy all obstacles in front of it.

What's even more unfortunate is that I seem to have become one of the targets of the old man in Argos. He instigated my men to rebel and made me embark on the same path of being betrayed like the previous leader. "

"Hercule, how much do you know about Apocalypse Company?"

"..." The detective finally finished the sandwich that tasted dry and had cold fillings. He crumpled the wrapping paper into a ball, with most of his face hidden in the shadows, and said cautiously, "Not too much."

Shania showed a strange expression: "Then believe me, you will never avoid them in the future."

"I want to entrust you to investigate Tianqi Company and see what they plan to do."

"As for me, I am going to carry out revenge and look for opportunities to make a comeback. You don't have to rush to contact me. I have a premonition that you will bring countless troubles to Tianqi Company - I knew you from the first moment I saw you. Not a small role."

At the very least, Hercule agreed with her vision.

While Hercule and Shibeda were lying head to head in a single room in Arkham catching up on their sleep, Batman had just finished disposing of the semi-finished entropy reversal weapon. He failed to return to the Batcave as planned, because at this moment, he received a strange call.

"Hello, Batman. I'm Steve Trevor. You probably haven't heard of my name. I'm..."

"One of the most promising people within the Sky Eye Society to become the chief authority." Batman interrupted him, "Your reputation is not as good as SHIELD, and I have something to do, so you'd better not come here to talk official."

Trevor smiled bitterly: "Indeed, it will be much easier if you know me. Don't worry, I have something serious to talk to you about. You should be a smart man, Batman, can't you see the current situation clearly? You have never Never thought about cooperating with others and building alliances?”

No matter what Batman thinks in his heart, he sounds indifferent on the surface: "I don't see any opponent that I can't defeat alone."

"The powerful enemy may be far away, but it may appear at any time." Trevor said, "There is a prophecy in the A.O.M. that almost no one knows about. I can tell you, 'In the near future...'"

Batman interrupted him again: "'In the near future, the crimson sky will cover the entire earth, and human civilization will go to extinction.'"

Hearing this, he suddenly became interested and asked back: "Does the history recorded in your A.O.M.M. really begin during the War of Independence 230 years ago?"

This was the information Hercule asked from the 'fisherman' under the A.O.M.M. when he was in Atlantis.

At that time, the detective and Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., had different opinions on the establishment process of the A.O.M.M.: Hercule believed that the A.O.M.M. was established more than 200 years ago, but Fury heard that the A.O.M.M. was established within a hundred years.

Trevor was shocked and questioned, "How did you know?"

Even Batman can't know the contents of the most confidential documents of the A.O.M.M. clearly, right? !

Batman said the detective's name: "Hercule Hugo."

Trevor suddenly realized: "So that's it, it's him... As far as I know, Hercule Hugo's brain is as famous as his bad relationship with the police and his poverty."

"..." Do you dare to say this in front of the detective?

Trevor continued, "I also want to contact him, but my colleague Amanda Waller has a lot of opinions about him. She still suspects that the detective and Atlantis conspired to kill the field forces sent by the A.O.L.E."

"You have a lot of problems internally."

"You are right," Trevor admitted. "To show my sincerity, I am willing to say something you don't know. The contradictions within the A.O.L.E. stem from these two completely contradictory histories."

"Can you imagine a silent terror, Batman?"

"Let me give you an example: a child has been studying in school for six years, and yesterday he suddenly learned that the school was not established until the previous year."

"Where did he live in the past five years that should not have existed?"

"--From the War of Independence to the more than 100 years between Magneto's war, where did all the politicians, agents, and troops of the A.O.L.E. go?"

"..."

There was only the sound of breathing in the phone for a short time.

Steve Trevor, who was far away at the headquarters of the A.O.M., rubbed his brows and said, "All A.O.M. members who are high enough and know enough can experience the fear I just described every day. We have subtly accepted a set of historical records, and at the same time, we are told another "correct" by others outside the A.O.M.."

"It's as if there is a vortex in the A.O.M., silently distorting people's cognition.

I can no longer guarantee whether my brain is normal, but I know that many of my colleagues can't stand this uncertainty. They prove their ideas through vicious power struggles. As the old saying goes, 'the truth is within the range'..."

"What's worse is that people are still worried about whether the historical paradox of the A.O.M. is an accident? What if more people's cognition conflicts after waking up?

-If we can't even trust our own memories, what else can we trust?"

Batman didn't speak until Trevor finished speaking.

Trevor laughed briefly: "It seems that I have finally talked about something that you and the detective could not guess. In any case, Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD, is right about one thing. The war will come sooner or later, and the sooner the earthlings prepare, the better. The Avengers are restricted by policy and cannot recruit some superheroes with special backgrounds. The Eye of Heaven is also busy with its own affairs, so I hope you can take the initiative to unite to deal with future crises."

"I can notify Wonder Woman, Superman and you. You can decide what form of cooperation to form and which team members to recruit. In addition, I have an unwelcome request to become a liaison between you and the government."

"This is the main purpose of my calling you today. Please think about it carefully, Batman."

The call was hung up.

Batman was so absorbed in thinking about everything Steve Trevor said that he was half a beat late to hear the breathing of the person in the back seat pause for a moment.

Harvey Dent woke up.

He slept too long and should have had a good rest.

As a result, after Harvey opened his eyes, he found that he had a headache, a face pain, a back pain, an arm pain, and no part of his body was not painful, just like being rolled in a drum washing machine.

Outside the car window, it was cloudy and drizzling, and it could only be seen that it was daytime, but it was unclear what time it was. The Batmobile was parked on the side of the road, and Batman in the driver's seat was like a silent sculpture.

Harvey's heart jumped, and he suddenly remembered that he was asleep... Bah! He was obviously knocked unconscious by Batman!

And most importantly, Hercule Hugo——

"Hercule is not dead." Batman said without looking back, "He was injured and is receiving treatment in the hospital. And the entropy reversal weapon that you didn't have time to install has been taken away by me. The Irishman's plan will never succeed, and you don't have to retaliate against Lawrence Wilkinson in this way."

"I suggest you take a long vacation and go to a psychiatrist to recuperate."

However, Harvey had just taken office, and taking a long vacation now basically said goodbye to re-election and promotion.

Batman was hinting to Harvey to change his job and stop being so mentally ill. Gotham's iron triangle was important, but he didn't want to lose his friends to maintain justice.

But Harvey didn't listen.

He was in a daze, his expression was as if he was dreaming: "...Who did you say was still alive?"

A few seconds later, he didn't know what he thought of, and calmed down again, sneering: "Although I was knocked unconscious by you, I didn't lose my memory."

Batman was thinking about Trevor, Superman and Wonder Woman. He was doing two things at once, and his attitude was inevitably perfunctory: "How can you believe it?"

Harvey said quickly: "Unless you let me meet him."

"No. I said he is receiving treatment, and his matter needs to be kept secret. If you leak it out, Hercule may be in danger."

Harvey lay back down despite the headache, and said in a flat tone: "Do you think I'm a fool, Batman?"
