Three-stream detection simulator

Hercules usually enjoys the process of solving puzzles, but the World Cultural Heritage and Protection Association does not issue serious puzzle tasks at all. Generally speaking, they just don't speak human language.

The shadow in the game spread to reality. Hercules carried a truck overnight to hit the Joker who was blocking the road on the railroad tracks.

But first, he had to find where the Joker was. This was not difficult for the detective whose intelligence and inspiration were both above 80. He easily bypassed all the confusing options and linked the names of the Court of Owls and the Joker together, and then remembered several special places he marked on the Gotham clock tower.

As mentioned earlier, Hercules saw on the clock tower that the nests of the Court of Owls were roughly distributed in the shape of a spoon, and the various places were far apart. In order to avoid Batman's sight when the personnel were moving, they must have special transportation routes.

Thinking of this, Hercules took Hibida straight to the basement of the clock tower.

When everyone tries to hide something, the first place they think of is definitely underground, usually buried in the soil or dug a basement.

Hercule had never been to Batman's hometown, but he dared to suppress a Hibida. Batman's many expensive vehicles and equipment must be placed underground instead of on the surface.

Then it would be no problem to drill deep into the city like an earthworm.

There was a lack of light underground, so the picture in his left eye was even more terrifying. The tunnel was like the blood vessels of the city, gently beating in the darkness and silence.

Hercule covered the black cloth more tightly to prevent his sanity value from being reset to zero if he saw something he shouldn't see. There were no railings in the subway, so he groped on the tracks before the train arrived, and soon found a secret door hidden in the wall.

The door was locked, and Hibida violently broke it open and rushed out. In order not to affect the operation of the train, Hercule ordered it to place the stone door panel on the platform. Maybe there was no surveillance in the subway station, or maybe the security guard in the monitoring room was slacking off. In short, during this period of vandalism, no one came to stop it.

Hercule bent down slightly and walked into the secret door that was a little short for his height.

The simple action made him sweat because of the pain on his waist. He pressed the wall to relax for a while, looked around, and found this boring underground maze. The walls of the maze extended from the ground under his feet to the ceiling. There was no light source above, below, left, or right. Ten steps ahead was a fork in the road, and after turning the corner, there was another fork in the road.

There was a sign at the fork closest to the secret door of the subway tunnel, with a green fluorescent pen writing on it:

The left is a shortcut, and the right will take a detour.

—— When I heard that the Court of Owls gave Kite Man a photo to find the target detective instead of a golden hourglass or other special props, Hercule thought they had learned their lesson this time and finally did something that normal people could do.

But who would put a maze in their own nest?

With deep doubts, Hercule turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and hung it around his neck, walked to the fork in the road, and turned left without hesitation.

It was not because of the "shortcut" on the sign, but mainly because he had a map and GPS in his head, and he was sure that the left was the right direction. If they were at the connection point of the "spoon"-shaped handle and the spoon body, going right would lead to a blank area with nothing, and going left would lead to moving along the spoon handle.

The wall that reached the ceiling was just an obstacle to the destination. Hercule didn't even bother to play with such a stupid thing. He took the cat bulldozer and drilled holes all the way until he came to one-third of the spoon handle. At this time, the color of the maze wall in front of him changed slightly.

After checking, Hercule believed that this was a load-bearing wall. The wall looked relatively thicker to the naked eye. Hibida dug the ground a few times and confirmed that the wall was directly connected to the foundation.

At this time, in order to avoid landslides, violent demolition could no longer be carried out. Hercule held his cane and raised the flashlight with the hand that did not hold the mechanical heart. In the extremely low visibility environment, he walked along the load-bearing wall for about five or six minutes, and saw a metal door that was incompatible with the maze painting style in front of him.

There is an electronic screen with a strong modern flavor on the door, which doesn't look like it was placed here by the Court of Owls.

Judging from their style of doing things and naming habits, the Court of Owls is an organization somewhat similar to the Assassin Brotherhood. In normal times, it is called retro if you want to be nice, and conservative if you want to be low EQ.

Hercule feels that the court has never changed its procedures according to the times since its establishment. This group of people may be able to stick to their jobs and rules and live until the end of the world - if they are still there at that time.

The electronic screen in front of him is as if someone has replaced the stained glass windows of the church with a colorful LED screen with naked eye 3D.

Blasphemy.

Hercule looked at the metal door in front of him thoughtfully. The infrared sensor on the door sensed someone coming, and the electronic screen automatically lit up. What popped up was not a password lock but a question, and the Joker seemed to have asked this question:

Who among all people is truly clear in conscience?

The outrageous thing is that the question

This is still a short answer question.

The answer Hercule gave on the phone last time was "Jason Todd". But this time the question prefix became "everyone", he thought about it and simply typed "I" into the dialog box.

Who has a clear conscience?

Hercule did not answer for others, but only for himself.

After clicking the Enter key, a green banner representing "correct answer" appeared in the center of the screen.

Although everything went well, Hercule's face was not very good when he stepped through the door frame. Assuming that the clown did not set all the answers as correct options in advance, the "correct answer" means that the clown predicted his prediction. In the final analysis, he is still moving along the path arranged by his opponent.

After walking a few steps forward, Hercule suddenly pulled off the cloth covering his left eye. He did not litter, but tied a bow tie around Hibida's neck with his backhand, and then continued to move forward without changing his expression. But this time, he opened the system panel while walking, and clicked the skill "Heaven and Man Induction" with his mind every few seconds.

No response.

The system implied that his skill level was too low and the judgment failed.

Hercule was not in a hurry, and he tried as he walked. In his left eye, Hibida was the first to distort, and the black cat turned into an indescribable thing covered with pustules and fluff, which kept wriggling and slowly crawled around his neck.

This change was within Hercule's expectations. The cat in his right eye was still a cat anyway, and he wore a cute little bow tie, squatting on his shoulders with his chest and head held high.

In a blink of an eye, they came to the second load-bearing wall, which was two-thirds of the spoon handle. Hercule clicked on the "Heavenly Sensing" that suddenly refused to respond, and once again found the metal door leading to the next node of the maze.

There was still an electronic screen on the door. After sensing Hercule, a new question appeared:

"Who among all people is truly unforgivable?"

Hercule typed "Harvey Dent" and deleted all the letters.

He stood there and thought for a while.

If we stand from the Joker's perspective, who would be the answer that would be both deterrent and interesting?

Harvey seemed to be the right option, but in the final analysis, the people who were truly Harvey Dent's best friends were Batman and Commissioner Gordon. The prosecutor of Gotham City became a criminal, which could make Hercule angry, but would not make him feel too desperate.

After a few seconds, the ‘Heavenly Sense’ still didn’t respond, so Hercule typed in the dialog box:

Hercule Hugo.

A bright red cross appeared in the center of the screen, flashed twice, gave a five-second countdown, and prompted that there was one more chance to try.

The red light illuminated Hercule’s dark face. He quickly deleted his name and replaced it with simpler letters:

‘I’.

The green light came on, and the metal door opened. The front was no longer a man-made maze, but a winding, dark cave with the sound of gurgling water.

Hercule stood in front of the door and laughed sarcastically, saying to himself: “You can only play these tricks.”

He continued to turn on the flashlight and moved deeper into the cave. The ‘Heavenly Sense’ still didn’t respond, but the images in the left and right eyes could be said to be two different sets.

The cave in the right eye was just an ordinary cave, with hard and wet walls and a slippery road underfoot. I didn't know if I was stepping on flowing water or mosses. There were some sounds of animals crawling and flapping their wings in my ears, adding a little horror to the peaceful scene.

The left eye was unusual this time... it could even be said to be a little beautiful. Hercule saw that his feet were covered with dead grass, and the cave walls were covered with withered and faded roses. They were next to each other, with gray-black petals curled up together withered, and the color at the edges was darker than the center of the flower.

Looking around, the entire cave turned into a sea of ​​roses. When Hercule passed by, the air flow surged, and the dark petals fluttered and fell silently to the ground. When they touched the burnt brown ground under his feet, it was like a rotten scar inside the blood vessels.

Halfway through, Hercule took out his mobile phone and took a look, but there was no signal.

However, the induction of heaven and man had a brief reaction. The sound of Gotham is like water waves, thunder, and hurricanes. It cannot be described in words. It is similar to the ballad of nature and is fleeting in the darkness. The meaning he wanted to express was clearly conveyed to Hercule:

[Ah... You found the tomb...]

Where is this? Whose tomb?

Hercule wanted to communicate with 'Gotham', but he could not get a response whether in words or thoughts.

It seems difficult to establish effective communication with the lv.1 induction of heaven and man. However, just when he was confused, in his left eye, the rose petals on the ground were blown up by the wind and swirled away.

Hercule understood: the city under his feet was giving him directions.

He turned off the flashlight and followed the direction of the petals. In the reality of his right eye, a green light gradually appeared in front of him. The sound of water became more and more obvious in his ears. After a while, Hercule heard the sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard.

'Do', 'Do', 'Do'.

The crisp knocking sound rang rhythmically with a slight echo.

In the left eye, the roses not only did not decrease, but became more and more dense. They began to have some colors. The flowers in the cave were all gray and black, but the closer they were to the green light, the more red these flowers were like blood. Hercule felt that their roots were absorbing some kind of power, as if they were passing from death to rebirth.

Turning a corner, the scene in front of him suddenly became clear.

The clown was sitting in the cave that Hercule had "seen".

He sat on a stone pier with a chess board in front of him. His face was pale, the corners of his mouth were upturned, but there was no smile in his eyes, only a deep abyss of emptiness.

Behind him, from Hercule's angle, both eyes could see a pool of green liquid. The surface of the pool was sparkling, empty, but in the middle of the pool hung a wooden coffin that was chained in the air and kept rotating.

It's just that the coffin in the upside-down world seen by the left eye is tightly closed, and it is impossible to recognize whose body is lying inside. The coffin in the right eye's reality is not covered with a lid. It is tilted at a clever angle, just enough to ensure that the body will not fall out of it.

The person in the coffin is wearing a long robe, his eyes are closed, his left and right hands are folded on his lower abdomen, his face is pale, but he looks very calm and peaceful.

He has a hair color that Hercules is particularly familiar with, with a little gray mixed in black. Red roses with dewdrops cover the bottom of the real coffin, and in Hercules' left eye, they are connected to the roses blooming on the wall of the cave in the upside-down world. At first glance, the left and right eye images overlap, as if the deceased is sleeping in the middle of a gradient sea of ​​flowers.

'Do', 'Do', 'Do'.

The sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard suddenly stopped.

The detective at the entrance of the cave suddenly woke up from his thoughts, but his eyes could not move away from the coffin in the pool.

—Because it was the body of Hercule Hugo.
