Three-stream detection simulator

The mention of Superman seemed to have touched a sensitive nerve among a certain Gotham vigilante in the ward.

Batman looked over silently, first observing Hercule with an appraising look, and after a moment he said, "What does this have to do with him?"

"There is a piece of graffiti on an abandoned red building in a seaside town with Kryptonian language written on it, and I have seen similar murals before."

Hercule replied,

"The recurrence of arson cases in New York is not an isolated incident, and I think their purpose is contrary to ordinary copycat crimes... There are three common situations for copycat murderers. First, he is inspired by media reports and wants to gain fame from them; second, He lacks criminal inspiration and needs to refer to historical events or film and television works; finally, he has a morbid fascination with the murderer, actor or solver of the imitated case.”

"The second scenario is completely underestimating our opponents. The reasons why the first and third are not valid are similar: the perpetrators want to achieve their goals and need the widespread attention of the masses, so the graffiti I encountered should not be placed in an abandoned building where no one passes by. inside."

Constantine stayed here entirely because of Zatanna. Hearing this, he glanced sideways at Hercule:

"How could you find clues in such a short time? No, wait a minute, I'm not interested in your thought palace and gray cells. I want to ask you more about how you were hiding just now? Theoretically, as long as you follow the connection □ □'s umbilical cord, we can find the whereabouts of your soul, but after I chased you to the mental image space, I found that your umbilical cord was not pointing in a fixed direction - there was a force hiding it."

Zatanna asked with great interest: "So after receiving Agent Bowen's request, you just chased to the mental image space and came back in despair?"

"I don't know how to drive the ark. Most people don't know how to do this. How else could the believers of Yuwen Church deliberately look for the 'helmman' when facing the sea?" Constantine said lazily, "But you have If you can, you should really take a look at Hercule's Ark. It's like a metal centipede that's hundreds of meters high and crawling in the air. It's much more awesome than the average person's little broken ship."

"..."

If you don't know how to use metaphors, don't use metaphors.

Hercule turned back: "I did not tell anyone about your struggle with the fire extinguisher in the Ark's cockpit, Mr. Constantine."

Constantine said "uh" and said wisely: "That ship is much more beautiful than the centipede. Hey, I admit that I am a little jealous. Don't mind it, brother, forget what my subconscious has done."

Most of the people in the ward turned their heads away speechlessly. Zatanna showed a contemptuous smile and said: "To sum up, detective, the question we mages have is, after you drove the ark to another island, the instructions of the umbilical cord Why doesn't it work all of a sudden? I heard that you don't know magic. Is this because of the props, or did the island owner do something?"

Hercule didn't know about this at first, but after hearing what Constantine said, his heart moved and he replied: "It is related to the owner of the island. But please forgive me, I can't help but try to find a way out. The cause and effect of the incident are somewhat Magical, and not necessarily a bad thing for Mr. Constantine.”

Constantine muttered, "I bet it's something bad."

Batman interrupted them impatiently: "We'll discuss this later. Hercule, can you continue talking about graffiti?"

Constantine: "People who don't know magic always focus on useless things..."

Zatanna raised her voice: "Okay, John! We are the only two people here who know magic!"

Batman rolled his eyes covertly, took two steps in the direction of Hercule, and distanced himself from the others in the room: "It doesn't matter, we'll talk about our business, you can do whatever you want."

Hercule wanted to laugh and smoke. After returning from the mental world, the positive and negative buffs added by the pipe gradually disappeared, but his addiction to smoking not only did not ease, but became more serious.

The No. 1 standby action is like a spring that bounces back from the bottom, and it has a tendency to emerge uncontrollably at all times. In order to conceal the movements of his hands, he took out the board minesweeper game "Superheroes without villains are not good detectives". However, after he found that the sensation in his right hand was gradually disappearing through the movement of picking up objects, he could not help but feel a strong feeling. Loss and pain.

The smile disappeared from his lips.

He pressed the fingers of his right hand violently on the game board to start a new round of mine clearance, and at the same time said: "I suspect that the murderer did not want to achieve a certain goal through imitation - 'recreating the incident' itself was his purpose. The New York arson case was actually a failure. Because there were too many people paying attention, the authorities, vigilantes, detectives... were all involved, resulting in the development of the second half being completely different from what I remembered. "

"'Sea fishing' in the Hawaiian Islands is the right way to do it. In the remote, desolate and uninhabited corners of the city, there are sneaky cultists, graffiti that seems featureless at first glance, and Kryptonian letters that are deliberately scrambled according to longitude and latitude. …”

"Wait a minute," Batman said, "I just wanted to ask, how did you know the Kryptonian writing?"

Hercule pointed to the box containing the mechanical heart, pipe and golden hourglass, shrugged and said, "God bless me, I have a fairly useful translator."

"Wow." Fury crossed his arms and said calmly, "I won't be surprised if you tell me now that you are a big shot from the center of the universe. People on Earth have more knowledge than you think, Mr. Hugo. If one day you want to introduce your hometown to us, please don’t hide this or that because of my emotions.”

At this time, his cell phone rang.

"Sorry." The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. frowned and looked at the call screen. The number on it was noted as 'Iron Man'. He raised his hand and said, "You guys chat, I'll go out and take a call."

As soon as he left, it was as if an unpopular leader had withdrawn from the group, and the ward immediately became lively. Seeing that Hercule insisted on standing, Constantine unceremoniously occupied the bed. Zatanna and Professor X chatted about the island of subconsciousness, and the latter was very interested in the structure of the mental world.

Batman continued to ask Hercule about the murals, and soon realized that not only did they need to contact Superman, but they also had to find the whereabouts of the other two paintings as soon as possible. Then he put forward a new point of view:

"Could the middle-aged captain, the former leader of the Yu Wen Church, be the 'sacrifice' of sea fishing in your mouth? If the fisherman painted in the first painting would eventually walk upside down towards the sea and be teleported by the black circle If the door is swallowed up, then the old captain may have given up his identity to avoid his certain death."

Hercule nodded: "I think so too. In addition, we saw the 'sea' on land, which in itself shows that sea fishing has made progress."

He recalled the magnificent process of the Sea Monkey excavating land under the sea to expand the island of the subconscious, and said thoughtfully, "Yu Wen Church believers need a 'helmmaster,' which means that the old captain has mastered the skills of driving the ark through some method... But I think "The ark and the sea are two opposite images. The only one that can resist the sea is the ark, so the sea will first target the helmsman."

Constantine, who seemed to be asleep on the bed but was actually listening to all directions, turned over, propped his head and said: "This doesn't sound like a sacrifice. How can there be a sacrifice in the world that will fight with the Lord he believes in? Or is it? There is something wrong with your understanding of the mural, or the person who painted it in the first place made a mistake."

“The helmsman of the sea and the ark is God and the man tremblingly holding up the torch in the darkness, the cruel king and the people rising up with iron plows, the unyielding ghost cavalry and flesh and blood swordsmen, the hurricane and thunder facing each other. Only those who are unwilling to endure the fate of sinking can muster the courage to shoot at the sea - from this perspective, Agent Bowen and Master Blight are both talented guys. "

In terms of interpretations that favor religion and idealism, Constantine is indeed superior.

Hercule thought along his train of thought: "So, it's not the sacrifice that leads the sea out of the world of mental images..."

Batman continued: "After a battle of disparity in strength, the winner rushes into reality and shows off his power to the fellow warriors who died."

The content of the three murals suddenly became a little more tragic.

Even though this idea was proposed by Constantine, he still shuddered slightly and deliberately said in order to cover up the inexplicable nervousness in his heart: "So where did you hear about the term 'sacrifice', detective? As Spellcaster, the person who explains to you is either extremely ignorant or deliberately wants to push the heroic spirit’s knees to the ground and kneel to the sea.”

Hercule was stunned. The mid-to-late minesweeper game in his hand showed a 'Ga Over' sign, and the dragon's projection appeared on the chessboard and began to clean up the mess. He simply put down the game board and opened the task panel to view the branch process. The records of "Sea Monkeys and Fishing Boats" are particularly long and winding, and include many complex task chains on the map.

After finally finding the node where the answer to 'sacrifice' appeared, he read it quickly and then replied: "It's a crazy person living in a mental hospital. I don't think it's too important - let's talk about it later, Mr. Constantine.”

On the other side, the conversation between Zatanna and Professor X also came to an end. Professor But if you want to replace the original owner of the body, you need extremely strong strength, is that right, madam?”

Before Zatanna could answer, Hercule turned back in confusion and asked, "There is nothing else? No celestial body?"

The female mage instantly narrowed her eyes and her expression became serious. Constantine Carp sat up straight and asked: "What celestial body? Did you see something else in the mental world?"

"The black sun." The detective, whose gray hair became more obvious with a few strokes on his head, replied, "I saw a black sun hanging on the horizon at the end of the sea."

Outside the ward door, Fury straightened the arm holding the phone and avoided the phone before pressing the answer button.

He is so prescient that he deserves to be the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As expected, Tony Stark's loud questioning came from the microphone, accompanied by the sound of airflow produced by high-speed flight: "You said he went on vacation, and you also said the only thing he needed to do for you was to find a cat! Fuck! What kind of trouble can I encounter in finding a cat? Haha! I understand, cats are fairies from the ancient East, and they can absorb the essence of an adult man and put him in a hospital with a life-threatening condition, right?

I cracked SHIELD's communication records and saw that you notified everyone except me. Even Professor Is there a connection between Baldhead and Baldhead, or have you, Fury, been prepared? How did Batman arrive in time? He also has a bald head under his mask? Zatanna Zatara? I don't want to make vicious assumptions about a pretty girl, but I hope her long, beautiful black hair isn't a wig.

They are the core members of your superhero organization, and I am the only one who has not passed the review and has a thriving follicle. Therefore, even if my friend is dying, I am not qualified to go to the funeral to see him, right? ! "

Didn't you quarrel, and you, Iron Man, were still furious 12 hours ago because Hercule left only a letter before leaving and said nothing else?

Fury waited for the other party to finish yelling before putting the phone to his ear: "Calm down, Tony. If the detective died, I would definitely order someone to carry you to his coffin, but in fact he is fine."

This sentence "nothing" was mixed with water in Fury's mind, but it did not prevent him from saying it out of his conscience to fool Iron Man.

"On the other hand, you may underestimate the danger of cats. To be honest, I also have a yellow cat. Guess who blinded my eyes?"

Iron Man didn't believe it at all.

He cursed and hung up the phone.

On the first floor of the hospital, a black cat tiptoed into the elevator like lightning without attracting any human attention.
