Three-stream detection simulator

The discussion about whether this note was an enemy conspiracy lasted for several rounds, because it appeared too timely and was too inconsistent with people's understanding of the Paranormal Universe. So far, every future person who appeared in the 21st century is bad in his own way.

At present, everyone has not had time to exchange information with the detective, and they don't know about the doomsday, so all the people in the Paranormal Universe, including Loki, seem a little crazy. The director of SHIELD once complained to his trusted subordinates, saying incisively: "Although the domestic situation is not good now, if the people who take over our jobs in the future are all such people, then human civilization will be over long ago!"

What kind of madman can bring Doomsday to the earth! Fury now thinks of the various accidents that happened by mistake during the war, and he is a little scared.

Finally, Pepper expressed his opinion. She had an indescribable shock and good feeling about the "two lives" mentioned in the note, but she did not make suggestions from an emotional perspective:

"They have a big enough advantage in technology. If they want to lure us into a trap, isn't it redundant to send the blueprints?"

Tony agreed with her, so the Upside-Down World Rescue Plan had a rough outline. The superheroes were also responsible for guarding against the interference of the alternate universe, but when they met the detective and Superman, the enemy was still calm, as if they didn't care at all.

Thor went to ask Loki who was imprisoned in the universe for this.

After confirming that this was his brother from the parallel universe (people didn't know the setting of the alternate universe at that time), Thor felt that the alternate Loki was more mature than he remembered. But the tempering brought by the years did not make Loki a frank and broad-minded king, but made him more extreme. Facing any inquiries from his brother, he just sneered and never said a word.

Thor appealed to his reasoning and emotion, but it was useless. He was also ridiculed by Loki, and was so angry that he almost took a hammer into the cell to play Mortal Kombat.

Since then, the two began to sulk, and neither of them asked to see the other. If it weren't for the unclear situation in the Universe and the only intelligence source on Earth, Loki, Thor would rather jump off the Rainbow Bridge than bow his head.

He held his breath, frowned, and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Aren't you very wary of Hercule Hugo? This time, Iron Man and his team rescued the detective from the Upside Down World, why didn't anyone stop them?"

Who would have thought that Loki looked at him in a trance for a moment, and repeated with a little surprise: "No one stopped them?"

He thought about it, and suddenly said: "Have you seen another me recently?"

Thor shook his head without thinking. Since Doomsday came to Earth, troubles have come one after another. Who has the time to pay attention to a little prince who is not valued in Asgard?

"My brother is much less of a worry than you." Thor said bluntly, "I'll go find him after I've dealt with this mess on Earth."

Loki seemed to be happy again, and said casually: "Whether he is your real brother or not remains to be investigated... I suggest you ask our glorious priest Odin if he is willing to share his bad deeds with his good son." After that, he changed the subject and returned to the previous topic, "Before that, you should find another me. He has been free to act much longer than I have, and maybe he knows what has tripped up the Universe."

"Universe?"

Loki made a zipper-zipping motion.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Thor took the opportunity to ask him again what benefits the chairman of Ark Pharmaceuticals had given him. However, the God of Lies knew everything to Hercule, and his brother became temporarily dumb, leaning against the wall of the cell with his eyes closed, and soon began to snore falsely.

**

On the other side, Hercule, who had been released from prison with honor and was lying on the bed with a pillow in his arms to mend his waist, had a unique view on this information.

However, before dealing with serious matters, he called Harvey Dent first, and his opening remarks were quite sincere: "Dear Harvey, have you heard about how high the mortality rate of the profession of private detective is?"

"..."Having been back to work for two days, Harvey, who wanted to curse and express his feelings when he received a call, paused for a moment and fell into suspicion, and did not speak for a while.

Hercule took the initiative calmly and continued: "According to the latest research report, one out of five detectives will die every year due to unexpected accidents during the commission, including but not limited to being shot, falling into a well, drowning, and poisoning. This is a rare and high-risk profession, which can usually be used to show the end of stupidity and a hundred different ways of murder."

"..."

"So if someone tells you that I'm dying again, it's very normal, and it's something that every detective will encounter. You don't need to mind it."

"..."

Harvey: I believe your lies!

He was so angry that he laughed: "I don't know what happened to you. Batman said that you have 'different divisions of labor'."

"Huh?"

Hercules turned his head sharply and looked at the shadow of the bat sitting in the corner of the ward.

Harvey said: "Detective, do you know what happened to the cat who had nine lives but didn't cherish them in the fairy tale? I'm waiting to attend your funeral."

After he made a harsh remark, he hung up the phone.

Hercules put down the phone and looked up, looking at Batman calmly, and said: "Should I find a chance to tell him that he has missed a funeral?"

Batman's face was sluggish, like a gargoyle sculpture hanging on the eaves of Gotham. I don't know whether to say he was calm or numb, but he looked mature beyond his twenties.

Natasha, who came with him, felt that Batman was not easy. She coughed and changed the subject: "Detective, what do you think of Loki's words?"

Hercule came back to his senses and said simply: "I don't believe what he said. Has anyone contacted John Constantine or Zatanna Zatara recently? Why not start from here."

The relaxed atmosphere in the room condensed a little. Batman frowned slightly, Black Widow fell into deep thought, and Hercule's attention shifted to the system panel.

I saw a debuff logo hanging under the five major attributes, which read:

[Suspicious (Who is hiding behind me?): Due to the curse of Umbrax before his death, you began to doubt everyone around you uncontrollably, even yourself. But no matter what, don't shoot before asking questions-you used to just look neurotic, and people will think you are really crazy if you do this.

Duration: Unknown]

And here

[Thoughts run wild (inspiration of genius!): The upper limit of sanity is too low, and the recovery speed of sanity is +50%. You are energetic, your mind is obviously more flexible, and your ideas are bolder, but sometimes you are not focused, too aggressive, and reckless.

Duration: 7 days]

[Side quest: Death Collector

Quest description: As you said when you were talking nonsense, detectives are one of the professions with a very high mortality rate. When you collect seven different ways of death, you may have a deeper understanding of the preciousness of life.

Current progress: (2/7)

Quest reward: Medal ‘Eternal Tranquility’ x1]

Not to mention the seemingly unfriendly side quests, the first two buffs are definitely not positive. But I don’t know if it’s because a drunk person never feels drunk. Hercule reflected and thought that his current state was normal.

He just questioned Loki’s reliability, but the God of Lies was not trustworthy. Besides, he didn’t target Bruce and Natasha, and he was not alert to the extent of suspecting that ‘there are always villains who want to harm me’. Besides, whether as a detective or a player, Hercule always talks before he fights, so why would he shoot before asking questions?

Speaking of which, does he have a gun?

Thinking of this, he looked around to find Hibida, who should be sleeping under the bed. If he plans to carry a weapon with him, he should either carry it himself or let the cat stay closer, otherwise what's the point?

But then again, he has a Yuan-devouring Beast, so what does he need a gun for?

Hercule thought about it and realized that cats might not always be around. In a place like America, it is always safer to carry a gun. On the other hand, when he has the opportunity to receive a commission from an ordinary person, it is not convenient to give the job of self-protection to Hibida, so as not to scare people.

So, where is the commission?

His thoughts never stopped, and his mind turned quickly. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his phone to check his email.

Batman, who was silent beside him, looked up at him and said:

"After Doomsday's death, there are special people to take care of other tasks. The air in the Upside Down World is very toxic. You and Superman should rest more these days and pay attention to your physical condition at all times."

Hercules suddenly came back to his senses.

He felt that Batman was right, but he was reluctant to put down his phone. After half a minute of meaningless entanglement, he relied on willpower to stop reading emails and didn't think about carrying the sleeping cat to bed, but his mood was inexplicably low. Fortunately, he could nod his head normally with the self-control of an adult again:

"Of course, thank you for the reminder. In addition, regarding the drawing received by Ms. Potts, I may ask Iron Man to pay more attention to it."

Batman's frown never relaxed, but it was not clear because of the mask.

If suspicion is a temporary buff for Hercules, it is a permanent state for him. Batman now suspected that something was wrong with the detective, but he couldn't tell why. For a moment, he almost wanted to invite Hercule to stay in Arkham for two more days.

After repeating the presumption of innocence several times in his mind, the Dark Knight and Black Widow left the ward and went to work on their own.

Then Hercule lay in New York for five days "quietly".

His original intention was to wear off the "running mind" state, which had both advantages and disadvantages. After all, he didn't lack this IQ, but rashness and recklessness could easily cause mistakes. As a result, he didn't expect to torture himself.

The sixth day was a sunny weekend.

Hercule didn't sleep well for three consecutive days. His insomnia mainly came from boredom. In this state, even "suspicion" seemed friendly and cute. At least he could chat with himself, right? However, as time passed, the inner reflection and questioning were no longer enough to satisfy his overactive mind. Hercule opened his eyes before five o'clock and took out the medal of the minesweeper game with an expressionless face to consume his excess energy.

As a nocturnal creature with disordered work and rest, Hibida was also awake at this time.

It quietly huddled beside Hercule to watch him finish a game. Just when the detective was about to play another round, its pointed ears moved and it uttered a threatening snore - Hibida was usually very friendly to people, but its response would be affected by Hercule. Whenever the detective was nervous, it would be a little more sensitive than usual.

Someone is coming.
