174. Chapter 174 Paradise on Earth

As the Court of Owls car drove down the road, Hercule asked, "Do you know Shania Fordham?"

"Who is that?" Juliana sat in the front seat, but turned on the autopilot without touching the steering wheel with her hands, "Your girlfriend?"

"She is my former client." Hercule replied calmly, "In my mind, she is a member of the court."

Juliana glanced at him several times in surprise, then turned to Talon on the passenger seat and said, "Go and check."

Talon jumped out of the car without knowing where he was going. Juliana sat in the car and waited for a while. Five minutes later, her men returned the same way. They first landed on the roof of the car and then slid into the high-speed vehicle from above. She reported in a muffled voice: "There is such a person, but she His status is higher than ours, I can only find the name, but no other information."

Juliana was even more stunned. She said to Hercule: "Is that senior member of the Court of Owls your friend or enemy? I will definitely report it. If you name it directly, it will cause trouble for her."

The detective shook his head: "I have heard about her one way, but she doesn't know me yet."

Besides, it was Starro's illusion anyway. He just wanted to test whether the world view shaped by the starfish was complete.

The rest of the journey was speechless.

The car they took was faster than an airplane in the early 21st century. After leaving Smallville, they took an underground tunnel, so they approached their destination before noon. Hercule felt that the surrounding environment was becoming more and more familiar. The air flowing into the car through the window was no longer humid, but had a smell like burnt firewood. The moment he rushed out of the dark tunnel, a colorful bridge across the sky appeared at the end of the horizon. The sun penetrated through the mist-like dark clouds, forming a satin-like pillar of light.

The high-rise buildings disappeared from the surface of the earth, and as far as the eye could see, there was only a wide wilderness, with the arc dividing line between heaven and earth visible. The sky was filled with withered grass, deserted, and vehicles were rare. There are scattered buildings at the end of the road. They are only four stories high at most, old in style, loose and uncoordinated in layout. The surface of the building is covered with curved pipes, which look like some kind of black insect snake crawling along the reinforced concrete from a distance. In front of the ramp connecting to the expressway is a dusty billboard that reads:

Welcome to the ‘Promised Land on Earth’.

Juliana squinted her eyes after reading the line and commented: "Weird name."

"I heard it's very particular."

A sharp claw answered, "In the beginning, 'Earth's Paradise' was called a small church here, and there was originally nothing nearby except the church. When the turmoil was at its worst more than ten years ago, the priest stationed here faced the cross He committed suicide, and several women and children who wandered here inherited his inheritance-including a lot of long-term stored food, and two dogs that could hunt by themselves and were loyal to humans. They settled here and spent their time. It was a very difficult winter. By the beginning of the next spring, more refugees from the city discovered this piece of Eden.”

"Unexpectedly, they did not fight, but decided to work together to reclaim the surrounding land, and took turns guarding and maintaining the middle gate, the strongest and warmest residence that can shelter the weak. They called themselves 'Not Catholic Watchers' nn-papistcaretaker', named the church the Paradise of Human Gates."

Human World Paradise is a novice village in the game.

nn-papistcaretaker, at first glance, is nothing special. However, its abbreviation is NPPC, which has a broader meaning in the game and refers to characters that are not controlled by the player.

Hercule sat motionless in the back seat and seemed to be asleep, but in fact he listened very carefully and felt that he was approaching the origin of the story.

Juliana didn't think too much, and simply asked out of curiosity: "What happened next?"

"Later, it may be that this group of aborigines managed the environment so well that more outsiders and big figures like Argos became interested in this place. The name "The Paradise on Earth" also spread from the chapel to the entire area. An inhabited area. It develops at a speed visible to the naked eye. But then again, there is obviously a reason why the so-called paradise on earth has unfortunately become a wilderness. Some people say that it seems to have been cursed by gods and demons. Other areas have received huge investments, and even the local pigs that are dying of starvation will grow fat.

However, there is no Paradise on Earth. After it has developed to a limit, it has always seemed half-dead due to various reasons. Commercial activities have suffered consecutive losses, tourism promotion has been ineffective, light and heavy industries are not developed, and the geographical location has no advantages. In the end, even Tianqi Company failed, claiming that the land lacked development value.

With the departure of the team under the name of Argos, the paradise of the human world has become silent forever and has become like this in people's eyes. "

The town under the rainbow shone in the sunshine. Hercule straightened up and looked at it in rapt attention, and said casually: "But she is beautiful, isn't she?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a raging wind suddenly rushed from the low upstairs door. There was a loud roar in her ears, and Juliana shouted to instruct the claws to close the window that they had just opened temporarily. She was worried that there was an unpopular virus in the remote area in the air, but Hercule ordered her body to kneel on the back of the chair with her hands free. The loose rope held the car window and stuck his head out of the window——

A rumbling, thunderous sound suddenly exploded in his ears. Countless languages ​​​​and unidentifiable voices are superimposed, and the intonation is getting higher and more melodious, telling the same meaning like a chorus:

【Mylve】

【Meuar】

【Arei】

【My beloved】

[You're back, detective. 】

Hercule had the illusion that his non-existent eardrum was experiencing sharp pain. He squeezed the car door tightly and arched his back, his virtual perception was in chaos. In addition to the strong feelings from the 'Paradise on Earth', there were several members of the Court of Owls panicking behind him:

"What's going on?!"

"The tire blew out! Turn off the autopilot, tighten the steering wheel, and let me go check on Alexander Hugo!"

"Boss, you have a nosebleed...Why do I always have black spots dangling in front of my eyes? Why can I still see it when I close my eyes?"

"You're bleeding from the bottom of your eyes, idiot! Something's wrong here, what is it..."

**

The Batplane loomed far behind the Court of Owls convoy. As the car drove through the underground tunnel, the black aircraft flew through the clouds and traveled under the blue sky and scorching sun.

Clark covered the wound with his hands to apply pressure to stop the bleeding, tensed his face to look at the road below, and said in a more solemn tone than usual: "You should have gone to help the detective."

Batman: "He doesn't need my help. I'm cooperating with him to achieve his plan."

"So you just kept watching when we were surrounded by the Court of Owls sent by Starro?"

"I've seen more than you can imagine."

Superman pursed his lips, and his expression felt a little oppressive. Batman stared ahead unmoved, adjusting his flight speed at any time according to the direction of the court convoy below.

After a while, Superman spoke first: "What did you notice?"

"Starro and Robin are sharing the same body. They are trapped in a laboratory, which is why Starro can only use Omega and the Court of Owls to control the war. The laboratory is run by the CEO of Apocalypse Corporation Made by Argos, but in the history of the Lost Universe, the person who imprisoned Starro was Hercule Hugo..."

"Wait a minute." Superman's eyebrows furrowed more and more as he listened, "Aren't we in Starro's fictional story?"

Batman took a deep look at him: "The story in your eyes may have actually happened in other universes and timelines. 2 Hugo, the detective we are familiar with, lives in a town in the middle of the United States called the Paradise of the Human Gate. Here. He formed an alliance with Argos and used the elders who retained the memories of superheroes to conduct experiments to realize the Fire Plan of Apocalypse Company."

Superman opened his mouth to say something, but Batman didn't give him a chance and kept talking: "The old people who finally returned home after missing but lost their memory have attracted the attention of interested people in Smallville City." At this time, more and more residents gathered to discuss and protest against the inaction of the government and capitalists. At this time, Omega, who was said to have completely inherited Batman's memory, came to Smallville and quickly gained support from countless people. "

Superman asked hesitantly: "...That's not the real you, is it?"

"Of course not." Batman said calmly, "...I from the Strange Universe have never been truly resurrected after death. Omega is actually a variant created by Starro, and he himself serves as Starro. Bing stayed with the fake Batman.”

"?" Superman asked, "Why did Starro do this?"

"You shouldn't use normal people's thinking to speculate on extraterrestrial creatures." Batman avoided the question without looking back. "Maybe it and Omega's starting point for entering Smallville are just, or they come from the same place. From the beginning, it planned to conquer the earth in the name of justice, but in any case, after it expanded its territory uncontrollably to a certain extent, it aroused the vigilance of Apocalypse Company. "

"It should be noted that Starro at this time was not a complete body. It had been defeated once by superheroes. After the war, only a piece of meat as long as a finger was left, and it grew from a piece of meat to the size of a football. Its mind seemed to be He was also affected to a certain extent, and when Starro approached the town where Hercule was located, the Paradise of the Human Gate, he was attracted to him for some reason. "

Starfish, who was wearing a Robin uniform and a hood, and was no taller than an adult's knees, carefully opened the door of the church.

It stared at the huge cultivation warehouse at the end of the red carpet, stood still for a moment and then said in a childish voice: "Hello, Hugo, I heard a robot mention you."

"He said you live in a jar, and so do I."

"You're not human, and neither am I."

"We're both fearful, repulsive, and have the same chaotic core."

"I don't usually say this kind of thing. After all, it's too embarrassing for the conqueror of the universe... But, hey, buddy, do you think since we are so similar, is it possible to have a relationship like human brothers?"

Brain in a Vat didn't answer it. Starfish trotted to the front of the nutrition bin, put one of his 'hands' on the transparent bin wall, and said old-fashionedly:

"If you agree, shake my hand."

More than ten seconds passed, and the brain in the tank still did not respond. A bit of disappointment squeezed out of the starfish's watery blue eyes. Just as it was about to leave with its shoulders drooping in disappointment, the dark liquid in the nutrient tank began to surge, and a long and thick pipeline slowly slid down from the shadow above, eventually covering the position that the starfish's horn had just touched.

"I don't know how to explain it to you in detail," Batman said to Superman, "In short, the detective deceived Starro and made it think they were the same kind. Then Hercule used this to easily stop Starro's plan to control the earth and locked him up in the Apocalypse Company's laboratory.":,,.
