[Comprehensive British and American] Shoebill stork is passing by

"Beep."

Falling Stark heard the fox cry again.

"Beep beep beep."

Seeing that he didn't respond, he screamed more and more joyfully, and his voice became louder and louder, making Stark's head hurt from the noise.Given that it was the only sound he'd heard besides his own muttering to himself for so long, Stark responded anyway.

"Am I crazy, or are you crazy?" he muttered.

"No, none of us are crazy." A young voice answered him.

Stark felt familiar.

The sluggish brain slowly turned, and gradually recovered from a complete solid to its proper state, and the thinking began to work again, thinking hard.

Stark struggled in his memory for a while before he found his goal.

"Professor X?" Still the younger version.

"No, I'm not him." The other party said, "I just used his image and voice, and maybe a little bit of his ability, as a cornerstone to descend into your spiritual world."

"My... what?" So it wasn't a revolving door?

Stark suddenly woke up with a sudden jerk.

"I'm not dead?" He finally realized this, quickly tried to move his body, and regretfully found that no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't move.For this reason, Stark took a deep breath: "Don't say that I have become a vegetable."

"You haven't." Yiying said, "but if you can't think of a way to awaken your consciousness, things will get worse. Your body will become a living corpse that cannot function without the instrument."

"At that time, please tell the people outside to pull out the tube, thank you."

Stark said quickly.

Strange Shadow: "..."

Yiying: "Let's discuss how to bring you back to life first, shall we?" It asked sincerely.

Stark also realized that he had overreacted, and coughed: "Okay, let's start from this step."

"We turned to the magic side for help. People outside have turned to the magic side for help a few months ago to confirm that the soul and body are still connected, but until now your consciousness is still completely isolated from the body."

"What does that mean?" Stark didn't understand.

"That means, maybe you're not dead, but you don't seem very alive either."

"..." Stark blinked his big innocent eyes, "Why does it sound like I have a problem?"

"Really...is it?" Yiying was not too sure, "Your survival awareness is too weak."

"Honey, if you were trapped in this ghost place and fell down for an unknown number of months..." Thinking that he had been like this for several months, Stark admired himself a little, "Isn't it crazy? If you are stupid and can talk to people, you should understand how much I want to live."

Yiying corrected him and said, "Actually, you have been in this state for several years."

Stark's mind suddenly froze, and subconsciously complained: "...Oh, then I'm really a little genius."

Yiying: "...?" Forgive it for not being able to understand the relationship between the contexts.

"Ok."

Stark wiped his face. He wasn't sure if he had wiped it. After all, he couldn't move all over his body now, as if he was imprisoned in Mark's armor. However, according to the voice prompt, he was not in the armor, but in treatment. , just entered a vegetative state.

Is this voice a hallucination?

No, it doesn't matter anymore.

Even if it's a hallucination, it's fine. In this environment, as long as there is any movement, he will be happy to respond.

"Next step: What do you think I should do?"

He worked hard for a long time, but he couldn't move, couldn't break through the layer of things pressing on his body.

"Survival awareness." Yiying repeated this, "Only if your own survival awareness is strong enough can you reconnect with your body."

Stark rolled his eyes and said yes, yes, and then worked hard for a while, only to feel that if he continued to be so stubborn, maybe his stomach and intestines would return to normal function first, so he couldn't hold back his breath.

"I did my best," was all he could say.

Alien Shadow: ...

Do you do your best?

Stark seemed to hear the other party's questioning.

But he had no choice.

He didn't know what direction he should work hard at all.

What's even more regrettable is that this voice obviously didn't know either.

……

…………

The Fool raised his head, was confused for a moment, looked back at Batman, and shook his head, indicating that this contact ended in failure.

Batman: "Did you mention 'Electronic Ghost'?"

So the shoebill stuck its head back again.

Baji.

It makes Batman a little worried, whether it will shatter the glass with one head.

At the same time, there was another contact. Batman looked at it and was surprised that it was a contact from the bottom of the sea.

"This is a deep-sea live whale landing, which is on a cruise."

This is a directional contact, in order to prevent Brainiac from cutting off, specially added magic elements, and now its signal can only be captured by Batman's instrument, and the distance is very limited, the signal can be received, proving The other party happened to be cruising around this area.

There is nothing confidential about the content, there are two copies.

One is that the humans in the living whale fall are complaining to him. The living whale fall has become the voice of the Atlanteans. Those Atlanteans are petty and perverse and cannot tolerate any human regime. The presence.

The other is Neptune's report, which tells us that everyone is living well, and that agriculture and energy collection are proceeding smoothly.

It’s just that humans seem to have started to suffer from deep-sea diseases, and common humans began to suffer from frequent mental problems. The high-level humans and some superheroes who assist in management have also become more and more difficult to communicate. Obviously, all the food and energy are from Atlanteans. In getting it for them, he actually wanted to surpass the Atlanteans.

Originally, because of the pollution of the deep sea, the people of Atlantis didn't like the people on the surface very much, but now the conflict between the two parties has gone one step further.

However, because human beings have absolutely no ability to act independently in the deep sea, and Atlantis is a monarchy, what the sea king said represents everything. With the sea king on top, the people on the bottom of the sea can't make trouble.

The situation is still under control.

Using Neptune's description, now the two parties are cats who have marked each other's territory, exhaling at each other, but they have not yet clawed at each other.

"I hope things can stop in this state." Neptune's voice sounded tired, and through the electronic conversion, it seemed unreal and foggy. "I don't really want to choose a side."

If he had to make a choice, he would most likely choose Atlantis.

They are all well aware of this.

Batman thought about it, and felt that it was not the deep-sea disease he thought, but autism similar to the autism that would appear in space voyages, a psychological problem caused by missing his homeland.

For most humanoid creatures, mental problems are prone to occur far away from their homeland. This problem also appeared among the Atlanteans who joined the Justice League after landing. Even now, among the fighters from Paradise Island, the first After the strange excitement of contacting the opposite sex fades, many people also fall into a sudden withdrawn state, even if they are accompanied by companions, they cannot recover for a long time.

Batman took a piece of information from the Tinder database and sent it to Neptune's port. As long as the other party has not left or approached the vicinity again, he can receive this information.

Hope this helps them through.

The value of the ten-thousand-year immobility of the life support module suddenly began to fluctuate. Batman, who was about to press the send button, paused, and added a voice: "If you can receive it, let your correspondent come ashore to find us. It's time Pull a network cable into the sea and make a signal tower for you."

This is a code word, probably intended to tell Neptune that their plan is coming to an end.

send Message.

Then, he came to the life support cabin.

The person looking inside struggled for a long time, and finally opened his eyes.

Stark felt as if his eyelids were glued to his eyeballs, and it was very difficult to move every little bit, soreness, tingling, numbness, and all kinds of discomfort swarmed from his body.

"The recovery of stiffness after death is very long, please be careful when you act."

The voice finally reminded him and left his mind.

Rigid after death?

The corners of Stark's mouth twitched, but after twitching for a long time, he regretted that he couldn't move the corners of his mouth. The facial muscles that hadn't made an expression for several years told him not at all euphemistically that this was embarrassing other people's muscles.

Open your eyes and feel the dim, soft light around you.

At first, he couldn't see anything, and there were circles of light spots all around, some of which were in the shape of a honeycomb, which made him worry for a while whether he was blind.

I don't know if it was a few seconds or a few minutes later, my sight began to recover, and my whole body felt much better. Apart from the pain, I finally felt something real.

He felt his hand!

Tried it.

It can move!

Batman:  …

"Don't cry, you will have a lot of opportunities to cry when you recover later."

Batman, a senior "death" person, said that he has a lot of experience that he can pass on to the other party.

Stark: ...

Wait, why did I seem to hear a somewhat familiar voice?

Batman? !

Stark's mouth moved, his shriveled vocal chords refused to help him until he was loved, but Batman could still read from the movement of his mouth.

Stark: Fvck and other swear words, am I really dead?

Batman automatically ignored those fancy greetings.

"You are not dead."

Stark: Impossible, how could I see you if I was not dead? How long have you been dead?We also bet on how long you'll be dead this time at your funeral, and then you're fucking dead!

For Batman's death, and it was another "fake death", Stark, who had given his true feelings, was surprisingly angry, so Batman read his lips and automatically added an exclamation mark at the end of his words when he made up his mind .

"This suspended animation is not my decision."

Batman can only explain it again: "Nothing happened at that time, I can't predict the future in advance, and hide by feigning death."

He didn't deliberately leave Gotham in order to fake his death.

Instead, when he left Gotham to investigate a certain incident, he was forced to enter a state of suspended animation.

"Who?" Stark wriggled his lips and finally made a sound.

With a dry, ugly voice, his vocal system will take some time to repair.

Batman looked at the data and decided to let him lie down for another two days, slowly recovering the ability of the senses and other parts of the body to move.

As for Stark's question, Batman just vaguely passed it.

"You know it."

"You know I can find out..."

"When you're better, the answer will pop right in your face."

After finishing speaking, Batman ticked his fingers at the Fool, and then pointed to the jar of the mutant Burke's parrot, indicating that there is another one over there, but the Fool just shook his head, indicating that he can't do it today.

The strange shadow fell asleep, and it couldn't do that kind of thing by itself.

Deep thinking, finding consciousness, awakening and pulling back the other party are all the abilities of the strange shadow. What the shoebill stork provides is only a temporary residence.

Batman also knows that this matter cannot be forced, and once the shadow falls asleep, it will take several days to wake up. Batman can only modify the schedule, plan Stark's rehabilitation itinerary as a key arrangement, and tell the fool.

"Once it has the intention of waking up, come and tell me immediately."

The Fool lowered his head slightly to show he understood.

Stark in the jar finally noticed the black whalebill hiding in the shadows, and immediately made a super exaggerated "WTF" expression.

"That's right," Batman glanced and praised, "If this continues, your facial muscles will be the first to recover. Keep working hard."

Stark: ...not happy at all.
