Three-stream detection simulator

Hercules did not leave immediately, because he received a system notification of mission completion at the same time as he got the address of the bar. The rewards for the side mission "S.H.I.E.L.D. Attack" after confirming the murderer are "a lost past of the Paranormal Universe" and "Washington reputation +1500". Counting the world reputation that has been added one after another before, and the reputation reward given after the news of the capture of the Joker, Washington has become on par with New York and has become the second city with the hope of reaching the maximum level after Gotham.

As for Florida... Since Hercules did not stay in a fixed city, the total reputation here is large, but it seems mediocre after being spread to various regions. After the Disney Resort in Florida sent a cooperation invitation and confirmed the detective's intention to start a small-scale publicity-

The system actively popped up to refresh the screen:

[Special reputation source detected, Disney Park reputation is enabled. During the period when Disney in Florida retains autonomy, this reputation can be regarded as the same as the city reputation in the local area, but the calculation method is independent. ]

[The first keychain with your name on it was born, Disney reputation +50]

[The Disney planning team created 100 new folders for you, Disney reputation +50]

[The Disney designer team is discussing how to add elements related to you to the park. Their quarrels can be heard even upstairs. Disney reputation +100]

[The first plush doll made in your image was sketched and uploaded to social networks, Disney reputation +100]

[Current Disney regional reputation lv.1 (300/400): John Pepper, chairman of the company, heard your name and paid attention to the planning case related to you at the board meeting.]

…

Followed by many fragmented tips, the last one is:

[The Walt Disney World Resort in Florida placed a promotional poster that alluded to your identity in front of the main entrance, which attracted heated discussions from many fans. Disney Reputation +1000, World Reputation +200]

[Current Disney Area Reputation lv.3 (900/1200): Most Disney employees and loyal fans have heard of your name. Even the system has never thought that this operation can be done.]

[New York Area Reputation lv.5 (Maximum 2000/2000): Your name is known to most people in this city. This may also be a kind of fate.]

Hercules: "..."

Good fellow, Disney has risen up, and its reputation has risen by three levels while relying on the increase of world reputation to raise New York to the maximum. Is this the power of multinational companies in the media industry? Fortunately, I heard that they are still contacting the superheroes of the Avengers. Otherwise, only the detective's actors will stand side by side with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy. Whoever is human will be embarrassed.

Pray that Florida will allow the Disney Resort to maintain autonomy until he completes the house purchase task.

The reputation calculation ends here. Before going to the tavern, Hercule wants to use another reward, "The Past of the Paranormal Universe". The co-pilot of the plane is a Hydra undercover. The places he often goes to may not be Hydra's dens, but the smart people in the Paranormal Universe will definitely make some arrangements there to attract uninvited detectives.

In order to increase the bargaining chips when talking to the visitors from the game world, Hercule found an empty room in the headquarters of SHIELD, asked Xibi Da to help guard the door, and leaned back on the chair to press the start button on the system panel.

**

Hercule originally guessed that this past should be related to Morgan Stark. When the picture came out, he found that it was as expected.

He had a hallucination of meeting Morgan in the Paranormal Universe before (Chapter 134). At that time, Morgan looked about 50 or 60 years old. She asked the detective to help extract the memory of Iron Man Tony Stark, so as to reshape her father's model through some special ability, and then get the manufacturing method of the mechanical heart from the other party.

That is to say, Hercule met Morgan Stark half a century ago in the Paranormal Universe. He has already appeared in human form, and seems to have the ability to "use the memories of the living to build a virtual model of the dead."

However, the disadvantage is that this will cause the person who provides the memory to lose this precious memory.

Based on the above information, people's lives continue, and the story has not yet ended-

A few years later, Morgan Stark seemed more indifferent and cold. In Hercule's impression, she occasionally showed some girlish manners when she met her last time, but this time her expression hardly changed. The place where they met was a brand new, unused underground station. Hercule still couldn't see his appearance. Morgan beside him was wearing a close-fitting protective suit whose material could not be seen, and a heavy cloak wrapped outside.

She wore something that was probably used to filter the air on her face, and with her hands tucked into her cape, she greeted calmly, "Long time no see, Hugo."

"Nice to meet you, Morgan." In contrast, Hercule's attitude was much more humane than last time, "I guess you must want to ask me about the progress of my research. Yes, that's right. I have met Tony Stark and have become good friends with him. He even asked me for advice on dating your mother. Do you want to hear the details?"

Morgan did not answer, but frowned slightly, looking a little tired and a little impatient.

"Tell me something useful. Didn't you tell me last time that Argos suggested that you become a detective? After you find a way to get away from him, you can't just talk nonsense to your client every day?"

Hercule's expression did not change: "Your bad temper must have been inherited from your father. In addition, Argos just said it casually. You know that he never regarded me as a complete human being."

Morgan turned his head and said matter-of-factly: "Who told you that your most prominent part is only your brain? Come on, future detective, I have limited time. What did you ask from Tony Stark?"

But Hercule Hugo still answered the wrong question: "Why did you call him by his name directly? How much memory do you have of him? I have already said that we do not need to add additional data, even if we only use the previous models - For example, the most mature generations 22 and 23 - with a little time and your wisdom, we can definitely find the key to pry open the wall of origin, thereby introducing new energy and rekindling human civilization. "

Morgan showed a sarcastic expression when he heard this: "The 22nd generation? Haha, are you deceiving yourself, Hugo? Forget it if you mention the 23rd generation, it at least contains the memories of the period when Iron Man was most active, but the 22nd generation The Stark model is simply a fake and shoddy product! What you input is all other people’s most misunderstood impressions of him, so his behavior is logically contradictory, his words are inconsistent, and he became a super villain in the golden age!”

As she spoke, her tone became increasingly passionate, "Don't I cherish my own memories? Even if I don't remember anything now and have no feelings for Tony Stark, didn't I love him back then? I wouldn't think Of course I want to keep the only memory between the two of us, but I am the only one who has stayed with him for a long time! I am the only one who knows how talented my dad is and what he is like. Man! If I don’t take out these memories, you’ll never see a real Iron Man!”

She shouted all this in one breath, gasping and holding on to the wall next to her, her chest shaking violently, her eyes closed for a long time and she didn't speak again.

Hercule stood beside her, looking at the subway tracks extending into the darkness in trance.

After a while, he said: "You may not remember, Morgan, but the last memory you gave me came from the period from when you were born to when you were in elementary school. With your help, I met a person who has gone through Between the turbulent and frivolous youth and the magnificent youth, Tony Stark finally chose to settle down. I saw him take you out to play, put you to sleep, tell you bedtime stories, and send you to school..."

Morgan interrupted him rudely: "What did he say related to the Heart of Machinery?"

Hercule persisted: "He said he would always love you and your mother and that he wanted you to live well. That's all I learned."

Morgan gritted his teeth and calmed down again: "Don't even think about irritating me, Hugo, I don't remember this at all, and don't try to make a fuss about my mother, she has nothing to do with this matter."

"..." Hercule said, "I'm sorry, Morgan. I just don't want you to see the past being sacrificed for an uncertain outcome in the future."

"You--well, I'm the one who should be sorry. I was a little too anxious." Morgan adjusted the rumbling echo in the room, "So do you really regard Iron Man as a friend? I never asked you this questions, how do you feel about building a model in your mind and then getting along with them?”

"Yes, I unilaterally regard him as my friend, but if you ask the Iron Man in my mind, he will definitely admit our friendship. As for feelings, well, what do you think of me? of?"

Morgan hesitated and asked, "When you wake up from the world in your head, do you feel empty?"

Hercule said: "How can you say that a universe that is indistinguishable from reality does not exist?"

"That's true." Morgan sighed with a smile, "As far as I know, Argos gave you the memories of most of the golden age superheroes he collected. I sometimes think that when no one in the world can When you remember them again, they will still be alive in the universe you created.”

This time Hercule denied: "It's not that exaggerated. I did try to build several models except Iron Man, but in fact they were not complete enough."

“You can communicate with them, you recognize them, that’s enough.”

"Well, I promise you, as long as I am alive, I will definitely keep these memories." Hercule said seriously, "If I forget one day, it will be when I am about to meet a real person."

Morgan finally burst out laughing and almost choked himself: "You, you are like my elder sometimes, Hugo! I'm embarrassed to say it, after all, you look so much younger than me. And I also call you 'Hugo' 'Well, that doesn't sound intimate at all. When are you going to give yourself a name?"

"I haven't thought about it," Hercule said easily. "What do you think of Shylock?"

"It sucks."

"Hercules?"

"It's worse than terrible. It's awful to the ceiling. Why don't you call it Edogawa Conan? Oh, this is the protagonist of the Japanese manga I read when I was a kid."

"..."

They chatted a lot while walking. When they returned, Morgan handed two things to Hercule: "This is the latest version of the Heart of the Machine drawings that I modified based on the suggestions made by the 23rd generation Tony Stark model. . In fact, from an engineer’s point of view, I think it is irreversible. Every design is perfect, but the core problem——”

Hercule answered: "Side effects."

"Yes, the side effects have only been alleviated a little bit, but they are still fatal. I can't think of how to promote something that is more terrifying than radioactive metal radiation. My abilities have reached the limit, and you and Iron Man will have a headache next. Go ahead, this was your plan from the beginning."

After speaking, Morgan took out another palm-sized gold and red cube and asked Hercule:

"What does this look like to you?"

Hercule raised his eyebrows: "You crushed your father's armor into pieces, stacked them and stuffed them into the box?"

Morgan laughed again: "One of his bodies is lying in the box rotting. Why should I put the other body in the box? This should be a gift that Tony Stark gave me, but I can't remember when. It's a chessboard with a small projection game installed inside it. I upgraded it to be more complex and playable. Now I want to give it to you because we have known each other for so many years and you have helped me. So much reward.”

Hercule hesitated: "I don't..."

"Don't refuse in a hurry, Hugo. To me, he has become a stranger whose name I have only heard, and you are his friend——"

"Wait a minute, Morgan..."

"Okay!" Morgan directly stuffed the chessboard into Hercule's pocket, tightened his silver hair at the temples to cover up his unnatural expression for a moment, "You swear you will remember them, and me Let’s work together for the future of this world and never be complicit with Argos?”

Hercule couldn't help but straighten his back: "I swear. This oath shall be witnessed by our two hearts."

"Very good... very good." Morgan repeated twice in succession, a little dazedly, "Thank you, Hugo... If Tony Stark is still alive, he will want to know you."

**

Hercule opened his eyes with mixed emotions. He touched the checkerboard medal that he had kept in his coat pocket, and felt that the memories of 'Hugo' and Morgan were filled with fgs. Such a rare emotion did not creep onto his face, so when he came from S.H.I.E.L.D. When leaving, others only thought that the detective had taken a nap in the empty room for more than a quarter of an hour.

However, the Lost Universe and the 21st century are still disconnected for unknown reasons. Even if Morgan Stark is standing behind all this, she cannot break through the physical limits and travel through it at will.

So Hercule guessed that he would meet a current Hydra leader, or a 21st century Mystique.

It turns out to be the latter.

"Riven Darkholm." Mystique, disguised as an ordinary woman, took the initiative to come over and shake hands after seeing the detective, "I have long admired my name, you can call me Raven."

Hercule looked at her and said: "Hello, Raven. Let me take the liberty to ask, the person who asked you to come here to wait for me is..."

"Morgan Stark." Mystique said frankly, "She doesn't have long to live and wants to see you one last time."

"?"

Hercule did not expect this reason, and he suddenly had new doubts, "Should I call Tony Stark?"
