Three-stream detection simulator

Peter Parker in the 21st century will never know that if he did not stop the gangster today but allowed him to escape, the gangster would have broken into his house by chance one day in the future and killed his uncle Ben Parker, causing A fateful tragedy. The world line has been changing, but no one has paid attention to this yet. Once Peter left, Hercule leisurely returned to Manhattan to look for the Avengers.

There was a small helipad on the roof of the building. Natasha sat in the driver's seat and waited for a long time, preparing to take him to the upcoming superhero conference for Constantine.

They were the last to arrive. Others had arrived early and were chatting in twos and threes. Hercule looked around and spotted Batman in the crowd, and proactively nodded to him and said, "Good evening, sir."

Others couldn't help but look sideways. Superman sat in the front seat and rubbed his brows. When Hercule passed by, he suddenly reached out under the table and grabbed the hem of the detective's coat, and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Why do you have this attitude towards him?"

Hercule turned slightly and replied in a low voice: "I am interested in his girlfriend..."

The beginning of this sentence was so shocking that Superman was shocked before he finished listening: "You to his girlfriend?!"

"No, a slip of the tongue." Hercule responded, "I mean, I did some bad things to Gotham City a few days ago."

Superman suddenly understood. He did not bother about why the detective called Gotham his girlfriend, but was even more surprised: "You did something bad to Gotham City, and the price you have to pay is just to work for him?"

From the corner of his eye, Hercule saw Batman writing and drawing with his head down, so he simply pulled up the chair next to Superman and sat down, whispering to him: "That's more or less the case. You seem to have a certain understanding of your teammates. , Mr. Superman. Have you been to Gotham recently?”

Superman crossed his hands on the desk and said solemnly with his mouth half covered: "Yes, I think I can only tell you about this matter, since you are one of the few people who can talk to him. That's right. It was such a bad day that we almost got into a fight over a disagreement over the city. Whoever Batman was, his alter ego was definitely failing the teamwork score at work.”

Hercule's lips moved slightly: "Don't draw any conclusions, sir, maybe he is the one who scores other people's wages."

Superman: "So you really did something bad to his girlfriend... I mean Gotham? Thank you, Detective, let me ask you, how long did it take you to have such a strong friendship? Team building helps. Well, I’m a little worried that the Justice League will break up in its first year.”

Hercule almost laughed out loud - Clark Kent's social skills are indeed more flexible, perhaps because normal campus life and newspaper work have trained this alien.

He joked: "No, no, no, you don't have to worry about this. I think he just has some feelings for you..."

The unfinished whisper was interrupted. Constantine walked over carelessly and patted the detective on the shoulder: "Long time no see, I'm here to return your male cat's bell. Unfortunately, there was only one bell when I left, and there is still one when I come back."

It didn't understand the strange words Hibida said from Hercule's clothes to the wizard.

"Is this the Caped Man from Metropolis next to you?" Constantine put down his hand and turned to Superman, "What are you two talking about?"

Superman opened his mouth to find an excuse to fool him, but Batman, who was sitting in front of the long table, tapped the table twice with his middle knuckle and said, "Me."

"..."

Superman coughed twice very hard, attracting the attention of all other superheroes present, and changed the subject and said, "It's almost time and everyone has arrived. How about we start the meeting now?"

No one else had any objections:

"Can."

"no problem."

Everyone gathered at the long table and sat down. When Tony Stark walked past Hercule, he said: "I read your fan forum. Did you really live in Florida with an underage mutant for a week? I I also heard that Walt Disney World Resort plans to add a statue of Hercule Hugo to the park and transform some local public facilities into elements related to you to represent your friendship with Florida.”

Hercule turned around and patted his hand on his shoulder: "First of all, he is not a mutant. Secondly, why didn't I know about this?"

Tony shrugged: "Because you don't pay attention to business, and you don't have a girlfriend as sharp as Pepper. You may receive cooperation emails in the past few days. Think about it carefully. This is not a bad thing. Many people now have their own brands. Authorized Party.”

Hercule: "As far as I know, Disneyland Resort in Florida has autonomy."

"Yes, so you must be careful when signing the contract, otherwise they will change the trash cans in the city to look like your wallet."

This is a mockery of the way Floridians use despicable means and worthless commissions to bribe detectives to keep him coming back.

Hercule pretended not to hear it: "Then they are worth much more than my wallet."

"Huh?" Tony grasped the point, "Since they dare to propose you as the state's publicity ambassador (which means exclusive superhero), don't they give you some benefits?"

"I can't deny that Florida has been really friendly to me," Hercule replied, "but I asked Mr. Wayne on the way back..."

Batman knocked on the table again: "It is forbidden to talk about topics unrelated to the subject matter at the meeting. Constantine, it's your turn to speak."

Tony stopped and pulled out the chair on the other side of Hercule. John Constantine walked to the front of the conference room and looked at

"Tell me about what you met in Arizona."

"Good news, I have prepared a ppt." Constantine inserted the USB flash drive into the computer next to him. "There are some photos on it, which may make it easier for you Muggles who have never seen magic to understand what I am going to say..."

Zatanna, who was ready to assist, gave him an elbow and told him to pay attention to the situation: "John."

"Okay, okay, let me think about it. This story starts from when I heard the story about the Wind Whisperer and the Phantom Stranger..."

The Phantom Stranger is a mysterious, immortal mage. There are rumors that his true identity is Judas, who betrayed Jesus and was forced to abandon his name and wander the world because of his well-known sin. Thirty silver coins hung around his neck, and whenever he made some significant move in accordance with God's will, one silver dollar would fall from his body. Only when all the silver dollars fall away can he obtain true salvation.

A few months ago, during the serial arson incident, Constantine heard in a New York tavern that the Phantom Stranger had contacted the Windtalkers in Arizona, witnessed a dark sacrifice, and then guided Hercule to appear in the main mission. The character Marshall Hoffman went to New York and indirectly sabotaged Apocalypse Corporation's plans, thus causing a silver dollar to leave the Phantom Stranger's neck (Chapter 39).

At that time, no one knew the identity of the Phantom Stranger. This time Constantine supplemented the information with his rich experience, so in the middle of the meeting, Hercule temporarily inserted a piece of information related to the Strange Universe:

"The chairman of Henan Universe Ark Pharmaceutical is a Maltese dog. Its true identity is a God who was degraded into an ordinary high-intelligence creature and was contaminated by negative forces. It seems that it cannot change its body after losing its power. In addition, In addition, God is still alive in the 21st century. He usually appears in the form of different breeds of dogs. The last time I saw him, he was a Pomeranian."

"Loki told me this." Constantine nodded in agreement, "Odin has always maintained a good relationship with God. Even the two sons of the God King have seen it with their own eyes and can recognize God at a glance. The incarnation of the 21st century Dog Chairman should be on our side, and it is he who uses his voice to remotely guide the Phantom Stranger to appear in Arizona."

Of course, many of these connections were completely unknown to Constantine when he arrived in Phoenix, Arizona. He relied on the fact that he had the bell of Xibeda on his body to hide his aura, and he efficiently blended into a certain Wind Whisperer's team on the first day. Members of these secret groups often operate in the name of caravans, collecting magical materials from all over the world, and then transporting them to a cave located above the magical intersection of earth veins, and perform certain bloody and evil magical rituals.

What Constantine had to do was figure out the purpose of the ritual and then destroy it if necessary. He followed the Wind Whisperer's caravan for half a month, listening to their internal conversations and collecting secret knowledge, and then finally got an excellent opportunity - a new caravan member passed the test , is about to be baptized by the leader of the Fengyu people.

This means that after two weeks of arduous trekking, Constantine finally got the chance to see him after he once had to sneak in food because no one could see him, and once he was almost shoveled away by a forklift while sleeping on a corn stack. Go to the real senior management of the Fengyuren team.

He followed these people up the mountain for an afternoon and arrived at the cave on the cliff halfway up the mountain. There is a natural curtain covered with green plants and vines in front of the cave door. The space inside is unimaginably huge. There are traces of artificial excavation on the surrounding walls, almost hollowing out the entire mountain.

Constantine stood on the suspended platform at the entrance of the cave and looked down, noticing an altar at the bottom of the cave dozens of meters away from him. It is in the shape of a five-pointed star, with a black keyhole in the middle, and around the keyhole are painted some mysterious and complex images that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The newly joined members took the elevator from the side of the mountain to the bottom floor and walked into a dark winding corridor in front of the altar. After the man came out of it, he looked no different from before at first glance, except that he had a smile of excitement and satisfaction on his face.

The other Wind Whisperers accepted him immediately.

But they did not mention the details of the baptism. Constantine hesitated for a long time and decided to take the risk and enter the corridor to take a look. It's just that Xibida's bell can only hide his breath, but it can't make him disappear completely, so in order to enter the blocked tunnel, he waited for a few more days, and waited until the next new member came to the entrance of the cave before following him. Go deep.

There is water in the cave, but the biggest challenge he faces these days is actually hunger - he is in the wilderness, and there is no Internet signal, let alone shopping malls, restaurants and takeaways. There are guards near the cave altar. They are human beings and they also need to eat. Every few days, a helicopter comes to deliver meals. All food and daily necessities have a fixed amount. If there is less, they will be discovered.

In order not to alert the existence deep in the corridor, Constantine did not even dare to use magic. Even now, after returning to civilized society, he does not want to think about what he lived in those days.

But after he successfully evaded the guards and followed the newcomers into the corridor, he was disappointed to find that the innermost part was a pitch-black smaller cave with nothing but air.

This is not a good thing.

Because Constantine then realized that the hunger in his stomach that indicated that he was still alive and suffering had suddenly disappeared for some reason.
