Wilderness Challenge [Comprehensive British American American Entertainment]

When Bruce went downstairs, he saw two heads, one big and one small, huddling together by the workbench. Jennifer seemed to be talking to Dick, and the young chick in training clothes nodded like pecking at rice, pointing at the information paper from time to time. .That pile of documents is clearly what he has been working on these two days.

Batman raised an eyebrow.

He felt that as the head of the family, he should show something, but before he could say anything, Jennifer had already started waving to him. "Come here, Bruce," she said. "Have you found this Mr. Campbell's social links?"

Bruce found his legs came alive next to the Bat-host.

"I remember the Campbell Group." Jennifer hooked him a chair with her legs, "There is a friend in the circle and Campbell's current head of the family is a bit tricky. Their business is very large and they have branches all over the world... ..This Sodergreen Campbell is probably inseparable from the Campbell Group, right?"

Bruce nodded, neither denying nor confirming.

From his memories, he found out what old Campbell looked like when he was young. At that time, he was a boy of eight or nine years old. Thomas Wayne had invited his business partners to the manor for meals or held banquets many times, and old Campbell was one of them.This family can't be said to have deep roots in Gotham, and it's even more unreliable with big families, but it also ranks among the upper class by virtue of its status in the cosmetics industry.

Thomas Wayne once praised him as a "true friend", and now it seems that this true friend also has a lot of things to hide.The theory that the victim is guilty is abominable, but not everyone will be executed by mysterious forces in this way. Sodergreen's communication chain is very problematic, and the source of the storm may be found by analyzing the communication chain.

"Old Campbell was defeated in the family struggle, and the power fell to his young nephew, and now he makes a living by selling insurance." Bruce said, "Two days ago he was found dead in his house in the old city, and Campbell was also found. The remains of the wife and their second son. From the information Jim sent me, the manner of death of the three people is extremely unusual,"

"It's cruel." Dick looked impatient.

The wife and child were hanged on the second floor in front of the window on the second floor. The window was half open, and the edge of the window sill was full of dirty footprints.The perpetrator calculated a good distance when hanging it up, and the original intention was to let the victim die quickly, but the mother can explode with great energy in order to protect the child. She is not tall, and she can only touch her feet with all her strength. The edge of the window sill was used to build support, but in the end he died of exhaustion. The pain before death is self-evident.To compare husbands with wives and children is to die quickly. He was strangled to death at the gate in an unimaginable way...

"Hanging," Jennifer murmured.

"Yes, hanging." Bruce nodded.

There are two types of hangings: hanging and strangulation. Both Mrs. Campbell and Little Campbell were hanged in mid-air with ropes around their necks, while Mr. Campbell was strangled.Contrary to the inherent thinking of many people, hanging is actually a less dignified method of execution than beheading.In the old days, princes and nobles often used beheading, while ordinary people often used hanging.In modern times, there are also records of the execution of prisoners by hanging. These people are usually guilty of serious crimes. The judge believes that they deserve the humiliation of hanging, so as to warn others.

This comparison revealed at least two pieces of information: first, whoever killed the Campbells was conducting an "execution"; He has committed a felony to such an extent that he should be hanged to be reprimanded and a warning to others.

Commissioner Gordon found out that Sodergreen Campbell had appeared at the Old Pumpkin earlier that day. According to the bartender's confession, the man who took Sodergreen away was a tall man in a trench coat and a hood. With dry fingers and a soft tone, there are alcoholics to testify.In addition, a drinker who passed by the corner mentioned the transaction-"the hooded man gave him a wad of money, and he gave the hooded man a wad of paper".

"S.H.I.E.L.D. contacted Jim through the FBI, and they declared that they were responsible for the transaction, but they were unwilling to mention the content and purpose of the transaction." Bruce finally concluded, "You can understand it as an expanded homeland security department, There are so many superheroes springing up like mushrooms, and the current S.H.I.E.L.D. can be said to be an agency under the Security Council."

"At least they can't do such a cruel thing." Jennifer pointed out.

"Impossible," Bruce agreed, "unless—you know, S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't monolithic. I managed to investigate some of the agency's strongholds, and the information and data flow ended up going in both directions, except S.H.I.E.L.D. There is also an organization in the Bureau itself. Do you remember the criminal organization that sponsored Lex Luthor behind the scenes?"

Jennifer nodded thoughtfully. "You mean...Sodergreen Campbell had an affair with that organization, and the criminal organization noticed the movement of S.H.I.E.L.D., so they silenced the old Campbell?"

"This answer is only known by S.H.I.E.L.D." Bruce had a strange expression on his face.

He and Jennifer exchanged a look, both of them felt that the explanation was very smooth, but both of them also felt that some important points seemed to be missed.

Dick looked at this, then at that, and finally chose to lower his head to chew on the details in the information.

***

In the early morning of the next day, Jennifer turned off her schedule and went to the hospital to see Anton.

The researchers from Osborn Industries and other therapists who were urgently called in did their best to keep him alive. At this time, ten days had passed since Anton's onset of symptoms, which was already an amazing achievement for a rabies patient.

Only one person knows what happened.

The heart of nature does not have too much power in the city, and all its giving and creation are done in the wilderness.On the second day after Anton was picked up by helicopter, which was also the first day when the leaderboard opened, Heart of Nature had a conversation with Jennifer.

"Such tragedies happen all the time, and usually I don't interfere with them, but since you still have something to learn, the crisis can be said to come at the right time." Nature's Heart said at the time.

"What good?" Jennifer asked at the time.

"I've shown you that even the lowest microbes can be controlled by a hive mind. You might think it's easier to control microbes than small animals, but the former is just an advancement, or rather, a big leap forward of the latter. Naturally Not just at the macro level, but at the micro level. To make the pendulum swing, you have to understand how to apply force."

The Heart of Nature immediately unleashed a miracle upon its creature—

Those golden rays of light converged in mid-air, forming a huge and incomparable ring, pulling everything around it inward.The brown trees are twisted into twisted shapes, and the black soil, green leaves and blue sky blend into each other, like paint drawn by a brush, and it is impossible to tell who is who.Anton Stein's body appeared in the middle of the light.

Jennifer sensed his presence, and only his presence.

Immediately, the heart of nature amplifies the entire connection.

Numerous color blocks appeared on the screen, followed by meridian muscles, and then the tiniest and tiniest cells. Outside the cells were viruses, some weird creatures.

biological.

"Feel them." Nature's Heart instigated.

"But I don't—" Jennifer wanted to say "but I won't", but a force was manipulated to emanate from her body, life echoed life, existence echoed existence, law echoed law, she seemed to be pressed The struggling person who plunged his head into the water entered a brand-new world with all kinds of discomfort and could not resist, from the macro to the micro through the hole suddenly.

"Be careful, Jennifer, feeling the big is dangerous, and so is the small." The Heart of Nature warned, "The connection of perception is the strongest and most fragile thing, and your existence may be swallowed up by something greater. , may also be assimilated by smaller existences."

This makes sense.

Just like the Animagus in "Harry Potter", the time to change into an animal is too long, and sometimes the wizard can't change back and will be completely assimilated into an animal.Jennifer can communicate smoothly with other humans and even animals with advanced intelligence, but sensing insects may cause her harm.The teachings of the Heart of Nature solved a problem that was always on her mind.

Strangely, after knowing that the ability had side effects, she was relieved.But the next words of Nature's Heart raised the tone again——

"Now you can try to influence them. If you do well, Anton Stein will survive the virus. If you do wrong, he will end the story early. Neither of the above can be with you Happened, so I didn't start guiding you until today."

"It's a good start, Jennifer. We'll take it slow, one step at a time, not too fast, and don't get stuck. Don't deny it, I hear you, in your mind. But I'm going to tell you that everything that happens on Earth is technically my work."

"Don't resist me now, feel this power, and you will find that the world has become completely different."

Jennifer looked at Anton lying on the hospital bed through the glass window.The accompanying reporters were waved away by the security personnel, and no one could come in to disturb the patient's peace, and no one knew what kind of life-and-death game and law miracle had happened to this patient.

Never had the realization that morning in the Amazon rainforest held a deadly virus in its hands that, if the heart of nature so desired, the whole world would have changed from whole individuals to clusters of combined cells, for it these They are all perspectives that can be switched at will, which is no less than a dimensionality reduction blow to humans.

Jennifer watched for a while, then finally turned and left.

She reached into her pocket, where a business card lay quietly.The thin cardboard is like a knife that has been sharpened, slipping through the fingers neatly and unyieldingly, causing a slight tingling pain.All hesitation receded.

The storm was coming, and Sodergreen was just a petrel that crashed and died on the lighthouse before the storm, Jim Gordon, Bruce knew, and she knew it.

The world has indeed become completely different.

Even if any ability has a price in the end, she must do her best to protect her own anchor.
