Three-stream detection simulator

Batman felt something was wrong with Hercule: "What are you going to do?"

Hercule: “Pray to a being other than God.”

"…The person who said you were a beast of the sea is dead."

"So I'm not trying to refute him, God bless his soul, amen."

"..."

Batman felt a familiar headache, but felt relieved for no apparent reason.

He watched as Hercule opened the suitcase with a snap and took the beating mechanical heart in his hand. After observing for a long time, the frequency of heart contraction and relaxation seems to change, and sometimes it will suddenly jump like a person when he is nervous.

Hercule didn't seem to like it either. The detective frowned and held the heart as if it were a wet lamb that had just been born with amniotic fluid and blood stains on its body. He wished he could pinch the 'umbilical cord' extending from it with just a few fingers.

"You promise there won't be any problems?"

Batman stood by the window, keeping a close distance, and confirmed again.

"I'm fully prepared."

Hercule answered.

To this end, he also wasted an attribute point on passive skills that are usually useless.

The mechanical heart beats faster. The black viscous liquid gushes out from the open brass blood vessel mouth and greedily climbs up Hercule's arm.

The detective showed disgust, but did not refuse. He watched them disappear into the cuffs without moving.

Batman couldn't help but take a step forward.

The Batcomputer's subsystem reported in his ear: "It has been detected that the energy density two meters in front of you is rising at an extremely high speed. The current state is 35MJ/kg...70MJ/kg...148.3MJ/kg..."

It has exceeded the high-energy fuel used by military aircraft, and is even increasing exponentially.

"1560...33000..." Finally it soared to an incredibly large number, "553600MJ/kg."

Batman didn't even think about leaving.

It's not that he doesn't know what this number means, or that he's not afraid of something happening to him or the surrounding residents, but it's precisely because he is very clear about the significance of the energy density reaching this value.

Light water reactor is currently the most widely used type of nuclear reactor in the world. The energy density of natural uranium is 443,000 MJ/kg, which is 100,000 megajoules per kilogram less than the heart in Hercule's hand. If this heart exploded now, the explosion yield would be approximately equivalent to 50,000 tons of TNT, which is a small strategic nuclear weapon in modern warfare.

So Batman didn't move. It was too late for him to take any protective measures now, and he could only trust that Hercule knew what he was doing.

In Hercule's eyes, the world had already become a different scene.

The mechanical heart improved his inspiration attribute and brought him to the dark and lightless mirror space connecting two different New Yorks. Considering that the heart can only last for five minutes, Hercule did not waste time this time and immediately chose to use the skill' Sensation from heaven and man'.

The next moment, his feet were empty, and he felt like he was falling into an infinite abyss.

During the fall, a pair of eyes cast a cold gaze, passing through the curtain-like blue light and focusing on Hercule.

A few seconds later, he looked around in a down-to-earth manner. This time, the landing point was still the Aria apartment...but it became the other end of the mirror. There were burnt marks on the walls of the originally luxuriously decorated apartment. The roof was covered with white structures like spider webs and spider eggs. The connection points of the web-like threads glowed with an unknown dark red. The floor was damp and made a 'pop' sound when walking over it. A sticky sound of ji, ji, ji.

This New York is the same as Gotham, with blue as the main color. I don’t know if they are connected. Hercule walked to the window, learned his lesson, and looked up at the sky. There was nothing in the deep night, no sun, no moon, no clouds, like a dark blue false wall upside down above his head.

The air smelled of gunpowder smoke, hemp, and the fishy stench emitted when living objects gradually decay. There was no wind, but there was fine dust flying everywhere, like dandelion seeds wandering aimlessly. Hercule closed his eyes for a moment, prepared himself mentally, and then lowered his gaze——

The first thing he saw was a pair of huge, star-like eyes.

Hercule was a little surprised that he didn't see them at the first time, or in other words, he didn't see the subject of these eyes at the first time, because it was too tall and too big.

Its green forehead is higher than the mountains standing on the horizon, its waist and legs wrapped in moss and unknown secretions are wider than the sea, its eyes are like two tunnels leading to different time and space, and the pupils slowly descend in the eye sockets. When it moves, it's like a star falling.

The blood flow in Hercule's body accelerated uncontrollably, and he felt suffocated and dizzy. He doesn't have a phobia of giant objects, but this... this, this thing... blocks half of the sky, almost making people think that it will produce a gravitational force like a black hole. Even the distorted light and debris flying around are like The direction of movement was disturbed by this heavy force.

After a few more seconds, Hercule reacted in a daze:

That is the Statue of Liberty magnified many times.

Dead things give birth to the spirituality of living things, but lack the humanity that intelligent creatures should have, so when those eyes look over, they will only make the person being overlooked feel fear.

The man and the statue stared at each other quietly across the distance of a city. The statue had no eyelids, and Hercule did not dare to blink. He had the illusion that if he closed his eyes and opened them again, the statue would be close to his face. Cold sweat flowed down his neck, and he noticed absentmindedly that the broken dent on the goddess' cheek was larger than his entire body.

After an unknown amount of time, Hercule barely managed to break free from the magical attraction brought by the giant with his strong willpower, and lowered his head to look at the ground of "New York City".

The roads in this city still maintained the appearance of being interconnected in reality, and the traffic lights switched rhythmically every second. If it were not for the blue light on the asphalt roads and buildings, it would look a bit like Christmas... It would be strange! Whose Christmas is so gloomy! Adams?

At this moment, a rumbling sound like thunder came to my ears. Hercule didn't dare to look up but couldn't control himself. His neck was slightly stiff and tilted back until he saw the green robe of the Statue of Liberty hanging on the ground.

He forced his eyes to stay still and found that the statue was slowly rotating in another direction. The sound just heard was the friction between the base and the ground. And when the statue was rotating, Hercule could feel that its eyes were always fixed on the top of his head, as cold as a blade.

New York is really... not as enthusiastic as Gotham.

Hercule relied on random thoughts to divert his attention, so as not to do something irreversible when his rationality evaporated. His brain was almost shut down at this time, so it took more than ten seconds before he realized that the Statue of Liberty seemed to be facing one direction and not moving.

A traffic light in the middle of the road flashed faster, and after a moment, the figure standing still on the red light changed to a bright red arrow pointing upwards.

Look up.

Hercule understood. He gritted his teeth nervously, held the window frame tightly, made up his mind, and looked up at once. The statue's metal pupils turned and moved forward to where the torch was pointing.

Hercule memorized the direction with a splitting headache.

The next second, he was kicked out of this world and returned to the dark mirror space. Hercule gasped as if he was awakened by a nightmare while sleeping. After half a second of stunned, he immediately reacted: the operating time of the Mechanical Heart had not reached the limit. It was New York that unilaterally "kicked him off the line".

So he returned not to reality, but to the middle ground constructed by the Mechanical Heart. Here, Hercule's state remained constant and his body would not be affected by the reduction of sanity.

But where exactly is this place?

Hercule could feel water under his feet. He walked on the horizontal surface, and ripples appeared where his feet passed. The darkness in the distance was endless, as if it would never reach the end. He stamped his feet and found that the water surface was very solid, as if there was a fixed air wall underneath.

He tried to choose a direction to run forward, calculating the time in his mind. After more than ten seconds, the surroundings remained the same, as if he was standing still - it is not impossible. Due to the asymmetry of the human body, people who walk with their eyes closed tend to deviate to one direction and eventually return to a position close to the origin.

In the case of being unable to distinguish the direction, Hercule is now no different from closing his eyes.

There is nothing useful on him. The mechanical heart is not in his hand. Hercule is still wearing his coat, but the pack of cheap cigarettes and lighter in his pocket are gone. It may be that the items in reality cannot be brought into this space, but next time you can try to put a compass and flashlight in your pocket.

Five minutes is really a bit short. Hercule failed to leave the room in another world twice. He is ready to explore again when he has the chance. After a few seconds, the time is up, and the mechanical heart is about to fall into a long cooling period. He closes his eyes and waits to wake up from reality.

**

Batman pays attention to the time and energy density while paying attention to Hercule's state.

After the energy density value exceeded six digits, it became relatively stable, and only fluctuated within a small range, but it was still frightening.

Hercule stood there with his eyes closed, and the mechanical heart seemed to grow on his hand and become a part of the human body.

Batman carefully approached and measured the detective's heartbeat frequency, and found that it was exactly the same as the rhythm of the mechanical heart, and it was more than 180 times per minute, which was already a serious overspeed and could cause sudden death.

To be honest, no matter how Hercule guaranteed, he was ready for first aid.

Four minutes passed in a flash.

The moment the minute hand and the second hand closed, the Batcomputer spoke again: "It is detected that the energy is being released rapidly two meters in front of you, and the air shock wave overpressure is increasing. The system is calculating, and the preliminary conclusion is a nuclear reaction."

The computer is worthy of being a computer, even if it says such content, the tone remains unchanged. But people can't do that. Alfred in the Batcave was cleaning the table. He accidentally saw the alarm value on the computer main system screen. He immediately threw down the rag and rushed to the contact desk: "Master, what are you doing?!"

"...Nothing."

Batman answered after a while. His voice was not tense, but a little erratic, as if he encountered something puzzling.

Alfred calmed down a little and asked again: "What's wrong with you? Or did Mr. Hercule Hugo encounter an accident?"

"Nothing, Alfred." Batman replied, "I just saw the Statue of Liberty in the room..."

"What?"

"Forget it, Penny One." Batman noticed that Hercule was about to wake up, so he changed his name, "Raise the detective's confidentiality level by two levels. If it's convenient, call Jim and Harvey to warn them not to talk to anyone about Hercule Hugo easily - no, let me do it. Thank you, Penny One, nothing else."

He hung up the call, and the scene that came into his eyes half a minute ago appeared involuntarily in his mind. The Batcomputer judged that the energy released by the nuclear reaction had reached the critical point, and then a faint blue, ribbon-like light appeared out of thin air above the mechanical heart.

Batman captured the anomaly and started recording immediately - this precious record will be uploaded to the Batcomputer switchboard immediately. If there is a possibility that he will die today, at least future generations can understand what happened in the disaster center.

The picture presented in the camera is no longer clear as before, and there are serious noises on the edges, but it does capture the faint blue light. In the blink of an eye, the light became brighter, and even tore a narrow crack in the wall beside Hercule. In the middle of the crack, there was a network of flesh and nerves, so that he could only see the tip of the iceberg on the other side through them.

Even so, there was still something inside that noticed it.

It was originally facing one direction, and now the head with a mountain-like crown did not move, but the left half of the green metal eye slowly turned over, as if the moon in the sky turned over.

The torch in its hand burned faintly, emitting a cold light.

So Batman successfully identified what it was, and the camera faithfully recorded the ruthless glance of the Statue of Liberty.

Not long after, the crack in the wall squirmed and closed.

"Energy density decreases, air overpressure decreases, total energy value decreases, and the danger level decreases." The Batcomputer doesn't care what its owner thinks, and reports conscientiously, "New York is safe, sir."

The cracks disappeared, the blue light disappeared, the mechanical heart stopped beating, and the world became as quiet and peaceful as usual. The cool night breeze blew in from the window, with a little dampness.

It rained in the city.

Hercules felt a vibrant smell rushing into his nose. When he opened his eyes, he ignored the system prompt sound that was more frequent than the drop key in the music game, and rushed to the edge of the window to check the direction pointed out by the Statue of Liberty in another world with his memory.

-There stood the headquarters of Stark Industries. The building was built many years ago and is not at all eye-catching in Manhattan today. It is said that Tony Stark plans to build a new building and will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at the end of the year.

Hercules believes that this is what New York wants to tell him, and the headquarters of Stark Industries deserves more attention... He blinked and felt that the high-rise buildings in Manhattan under the night sky gradually appeared double.

The support of his legs disappeared at a certain moment, and he hung on the windowsill, leaning against the wall to avoid falling to the ground.

But there is good news! Thanks to the other New York who kicked him back, this time it was not so bad that the passive "absolute rationality" was triggered!

With a grateful heart, Hercule took the time to look at the system prompt.

[Your sanity value -10]

[Your sanity value -10]

[Please note that your current sanity value is too low...]

The pain in his forehead reduced his patience. He was impatient to read these useless things and directly pulled the prompt back.

The last line read:

[Your first stay on the wall for more than one minute, inspiration is permanently +14.5]

[Inspiration: 29.5 (six dimensions that make up the world, you can only perceive four)]

Hercule: ...

Wait a minute, the attribute value is added, how can it have a decimal point? A .5 appears in a row of integers, don't you feel uncomfortable system? ? It's better to trigger "absolute rationality"!

He couldn't help but show pain on his face. This kind of spiritual pain was even more severe than the headache caused by low sanity. The veins of Hercule's left hand holding the windowsill were exposed and the joints turned white.

... Batman, who wanted to ask him why he put a miniature nuclear weapon in the suitcase, swallowed his words after seeing his expression and began to think about which priority was higher, rescue or talking.
