Three-stream detection simulator

"It's a blank piece of paper." The person who answered the question was Batman. "Generally speaking, people can't define it, describe it, or read it. It is the source of everything, contains everything, and is said to have existed before the universe. It’s Taixu, and it’s what’s left after the universe is destroyed.”

"We can only say this in the world of consciousness." Tony continued, "Suppose that countless parallel universes, spaces outside the universe, and even the goddess of creation exist in a book or a series of stories. Taixu is this A blank piece of paper with the whole story written on it.”

Regardless, Hercule decided to show that he understood, otherwise the Riddler's explanation would have continued.

Bruce didn't want to say more. He quickly changed the next topic: "It's a little difficult to tell your own story orally. I plan to directly show you a video stored in the conscious world."

The rectangular glass window in front of him gradually turned into opaque jet black, blocking the leafy World Tree outside, and then it began to play the picture like a big screen in a movie theater.

**

Hercule saw himself.

He is facing the camera, with his half-long hair hanging loosely. The hair on his shoulders and neck is slightly curly, and the ends and tips of his hair are slightly gray. The parka of Paradise on Earth was draped over his shoulders, the long sleeves were not on his arms, and they were unbuttoned. He was holding a white square tablet in his hand, and behind him was a wall with a height line. In short, uh...

It looks like he will spend ten years in jail immediately after taking the photo.

"I shot this video to make a record." The person in the camera said, "Since it is impossible to discuss content related to Taixu in reality (the strange universe), and the world of consciousness is only a prototype, there is a high probability that the following content is I’m telling it to myself. Hello, future me, we have many names, the most commonly used one at the moment is ‘Hugo’, which comes from the core of the story written into Taixu——”

"Wait a minute." Batman's voice came from outside the screen, "This should be explained later, otherwise it will make it more difficult to understand."

"You are right, Mr. Wayne..."

"Call me Batman."

"Okay, Mr. Batman. Hugo, when you watch this video, I hope I don't remember the Dark Knight who is over 50 years old at that time, otherwise, to borrow Superman's expression, you may be He’ll be so annoyed that he can’t help but want to twist his head off——”

Batman interrupted him again: "Have you come into contact with that incomplete Superman again? It has the instinct to seduce and devour the things around it to fill itself. When it follows your words and attacks me, it only means that it sees that you have Similar thoughts and do not represent the true opinions of Clark."

"On the contrary, Mr. Batman, I think Superman is particularly sincere at this point. When he talks to you, he is trying to please you and deceive you, making you almost forget that Clark Kent is lying in the coffin in reality. What does it look like?”

Batman wanted to say something more, but Hercule didn't give him a chance and rushed to say, "We can't reach a consensus, please let me continue recording this content? Hugo, are you still listening?" "

"To put it simply, before time travel, you participated in the design of a simulator game with the theme of solving puzzles and saving the world. The appearance and surname of the male protagonist are fixed, just like what you see now."

The camera zoomed in, giving the detective a close-up.

The Batman in the video was probably in a bad mood, making the effect more like an Arkham jail photo.

"No matter whether you are satisfied or not, when the simulator system reduces the dimension, contacts Taixu, integrates Taixu, and successfully writes your story into it, your soul will always use this face, your only recognized name. Only Hugo."

Hercule in the camera was completely unaware, maybe he didn't care, after all, he had just made the bold statement that he was going to twist the opponent's head off,

"'Hugo' is similar to Batman, Superman, Spider-Man...it has become a concept accepted by Taixu."

"Of course, only we know things about the system. Batman and Iron Man in the conscious world are two special cases. In reality, no one knows the secrets. This is both to reduce risks and to protect them."

"What I'm going to talk about next is the paradise on earth. He can be trusted. He is a very rare layer of security and will accompany you until the end of the story. It took me a long time to confirm this, so I hope that in the future I don’t want to waste my time exploring things around me.”

When Hercule said this in front of the camera, he looked thoughtful. He thought for a long time and wrote on the white writing board in his hand:

Don’t doubt the paradise on earth.

Don’t doubt the paradise on earth.

Don’t doubt the paradise on earth.

After repeating it three times, the writing disappeared.

"I'm trying to control my thinking." Hercule explained. "In the future, you will subconsciously think that Novice Village is reliable, even if he seems overly enthusiastic and occasionally a little crazy. I know that he does not meet our trust standards. But, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

He thought deeply for a moment.

"You should also have a basic good impression of the system, otherwise its main job of 'releasing tasks' will not be carried out, which will affect our arrangements. But don't be too high, it is constrained by Taixu and the world line, and the setting And the ending of guidance may not be consistent with my future thoughts.”

"Then I will gradually put my post-travel memories into a long iteration process. This may take nearly ten years. Morgan Stark created many disposable android bodies for us, and Argonauts Si has not seen my human appearance, and he will not recognize you immediately. This gives you the opportunity to hide in reality, and you can do whatever you want until the ten-year cycle is over. "

——Hercule, who was watching the video, recalled that at the beginning, his impression of the background of "Third-rate Detective Simulator" was that it was a cyberpunk world without superheroes and superpowers. Moreover, he believed that he had played for a while before traveling to the 21st century, maxed out his intelligence attribute points, and completed many side missions by restarting the game across levels.

"Please enjoy it as a game, Mr. Hugo. You have endless life and replaceable bodies. You cannot improve your physical attributes, but you can exercise your mind. You have a whole broad world to explore. You don't I will remember who you are, and I hope you (I) can still love the universe we live in.”

Batman off-screen says, "You made your choice."

There was disapproval in his voice.

"I have no choice. You can't fill Clark Kent's memory and save Superman, and I don't know how to save the world." The detective put down the writing pad and said easily, "Just take it one step at a time, Bruce, my There is a saying in my hometown that 'do your best to obey fate', now is the time to accept the reality. "

Batman did not correct his title this time and taunted in a low voice: "No wonder he is a third-rate detective."

But I don’t know who it refers to.

He came over and turned off the camera.

To sum up, Hercule in the Strange Universe recorded the video more than ten years ago, and then became a real hard-core player. He used the least equipment (body?) and materials to make the greatest sacrifice, and successfully defeated himself. half of his reputation.

Argos is currently worried about the missing brain in the vat. On the other hand, negative forces have eroded Chairman Dog and are still polluting the essence of the universe, making people act more and more crazy, and it is about to come to an end.

In despair, he came up with the idea of ​​replacing the Golden Age.

There is no such thing as good or evil, just survival.

Those obsessions born of Batman, the creator, were eventually twisted into an even uglier posture as he sacrificed his memories to Hercule.

Hercule expected that things would reach this point sooner or later. When Argos was studying the time-space counterflow technology, he started to prepare earlier, and as Batman said, he 'made a choice'.

——The Strange Universe can survive, but it should not be at the expense of the death of innocent people in the 21st century.

What he didn't expect was that after losing his memory and returning to a state of nothing, he could also detect part of the truth from the movements of the three major companies, and stand in front of Argos again.

It didn't even take much time.

So much so that Argos didn't recognize him at all when they first met, and thought he was an unlucky detective with some skills who emerged from some corner. At one point, he said, "Surrender to me, and I will tell you the truth about the world." 'Such a big talk.

Later, when he found out about the surname "Hugo", Argos' inner shock and spontaneous embarrassment were hard to describe in words - there was no other artificial intelligence in the world that had his level of rich emotions. He followed the detective for a long time, which caused a lot of discussion between Chairman Dog and the World Legend Association, and finally he was sure that Hercule had lost part of his memory.

The embarrassment did not disappear. Argos closed the door to block other people's questions and had to consider the significance of Hercule's actions.

For Hercule, memory can be equated to reality to some extent.

Argos suddenly felt a sense of urgency. He was now able to confirm that the situation he least wanted to face had happened - his loyal allies and companions had finally stood against him.

So let's see who is more skilled.

That being said, if Apocalypse Company cannot find Hercule's true form, there will be nothing they can do against him. There is an inexhaustible supply of cheap android bodies that have been mass-produced for a long time. He can only watch as a certain detective forces Chairman Dog to knock on the door in the middle of the night. The artificial intelligence and the dog are relatively silent across the door. Silence is today. The late Strange Universe.

He was forced to rush into action earlier than planned.

In the 21st century, the Brother Eye satellite has not yet been officially launched and its functions are extremely limited.

The Joker did not become the Joker, he was still an ordinary Gothamite with no name.

Batman is just an urban legend. Superman just made the decision to use his power to help others, and Tony Stark said the famous "I am Iron Man" to the world. Many superheroes and super villains are still Just getting to the beginning of their legend.

This means that the variables in the future will be very large, and Argos is actually unwilling to position itself at this point in time.

But he had no choice.

He had to be one step ahead of Hercule, otherwise he was doomed to lose everything. So the Court of Owls, Hydra, the League of Assassins... these organizations that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years began to operate, and the 21st century was unknowingly developing in the established direction.

Ten years later, Hercule obtained a new body and returned to Earth a hundred years ago.

He landed in front of Wayne Manor.

"I may need a guide after losing my memory." A detective in the conscious world once asked his companions, "Do you two have any suggestions?"

Tony Stark thought back to his younger self, shrugged and looked at Batman.

"Go to Gotham." Batman said decisively, "You can't lose control, I will help." :,,.
