"'Her'? A beautiful young woman persuaded you to hold this meeting, didn't she?" Adrian came to Captain Metropolis, "She must be using the reason of wanting to revive you and become famous again, this The city hall was also handled by her influence, do you know who helped her to handle this matter? She can't do it herself, and she must have approached you as a young and naive young lady."

"...how do you know?" The captain stared blankly at the pharaoh in front of him.

"It's just a reasonable guess." Adrian held his chin with his index finger and thumb on his right hand, and a thought flashed in his eyes. He didn't care about the fire not far away at all, because he knew that it was too late to rush over now, and besides , As long as there is Dr. Manhattan, ordinary people like them will have no meaning of existence.

"But you don't know. It seems that she only told you the time and place, and handed over the invitation letter that needs your signature. Before that, she had already arranged everything, including the explosion in the hospital, two lines, Simultaneously, it's interesting, and it fits the style of the criminal teacher."

"What is conformity, it's obviously her!" Rorschach was far more extreme and stubborn on many issues, he growled, dragged Ye Xiao out, "We have to get there as soon as possible, we can't expect Dr. Manhattan to do it." To everything, use the fastest flying speed of your Archimedes, fast!"

"No need." A gentle voice accompanied by a flash of blue light made Rorschach's footsteps abruptly stop.He looked back at Dr. Manhattan who appeared in the middle of the room, and it was only 5 minutes since he disappeared and returned.

"Tell me you caught her!" Rorschach said a little excitedly.

"I'm sorry, Rorschach, I didn't, I couldn't," Dr. Manhattan said, without an iota of apology in his tone.

"What do you mean you can't? Damn, then what kind of guy is she?" Hearing the doctor's explanation, Ye Xiao obviously misunderstood.

"No, she is still human, but she must have thought of some way to threaten the doctor to release her." The pharaoh's blue eyes looked sharply at Doctor Manhattan, and his tone was a bit strange, "Jenny Slater?"

"Yes, she planted a bomb, enough to blow up a block, and I destroyed them all half a minute ago." The doctor still confirmed Adrian's guess with his unwavering and gentle voice.

In this regard, Rorschach could only curse, and shifted his target to the captain of the metropolis: "What does she look like? What's her name? Give me a name, or specific characteristics."

"Damn...that's the point..." The captain hugged his head in pain, "For some reason, I can't remember what she looks like, her face is blurred in my mind, all I know is that she smiled like An angel...and...her hair, the color of wine, and the rest...damn, I don't know! She must have done something to me!"

"Pretty girls are all over the street, and the color of their hair can be changed, which is of no use at all." Rorschach paced back and forth in the room irritably, and he looked at Dr. Manhattan again, "What about you? You saw her face ?"

"She's wearing a clown mask, Rorschach, you need to calm down." The doctor comforted symbolically.

Pharaoh glanced at the doctor, and before Rorschach said anything extreme, he threw out another clue: "Before, when I was fighting crime in my territory, I heard the word 'professor' from a few scumbags. This name. At that time, their leader was a guy who claimed to be a professor, so I didn't pay much attention to it, but now that I think about it, I seem to have missed a sentence—"If you have any problems, go to the professor."

"In that hospital, in addition to ordinary patients, an American nuclear weapon expert was recently admitted. Because he was worried that Soviet agents would sabotage, the government arranged people around him 24 hours a day, and there was also a doctor who was the killer. . Well, that's a problem for those agents."

"Judging from every step of her planning, she is not a lunatic who will blow up the hospital on a whim. So, I think she is the professor, and the Soviets found her. From the analysis of her actions this month, this The professor is equivalent to a criminal consulting expert, and everything she arranges can be carried out smoothly with the support of the information network and eyeliner."

"She may be hiding deep enough, but her eyeliner can't have her wisdom and means, dug out her information web, and can catch spiders along the web. I think this should be our 'violent destroyer' No. [-] A collective operation, folks, maybe we should investigate in groups?"

Pharaoh's clear and calm analysis put himself in the position of leader of the new superhero organization invisibly, but everyone who is currently preoccupied doesn't care too much, or doesn't want to care, such as Dr. Manhattan.His thoughts flew back to 5 minutes ago, when he just ran into that masked woman.

In fact, he had already known her name, her appearance, and everything about her from his own future, but he chose to keep silent, because it was not the time yet, as a particle observer, he would just watch everything , and regulate your own words and deeds in accordance with the established script in the future, and never escape this framework.

"...I think, I don't understand what you're talking about." Facing her series of questioning, Dr. Manhattan's face was slightly puzzled, but his bright blue eyes without whites were very calm, so calm Like a pool of stagnant water, inadvertently, there was a elusive strangeness in those eyes.

"Okay, I'm assuming I don't know you're faking it. Maybe normally, I should be like a normal, comic book villain, gleefully telling you how great my plans are, but I'm thinking again Think, when my timeline collides with yours, it's completely unnecessary."

Eris shrugged, walked up to Dr. Manhattan, a bright blue humanoid creature wearing only a pair of underwear, looked up and down with interest, and looked up and down his blue glowing body. Body.

"In fact, you know everything I say now, including this one, because you can see the future, and your expression of anger or doubt is just a disguise...Dude, Although you know it all, I still want to emphasize it again, you have to practice your acting skills well."

"You won't understand..." Dr. Manhattan opened his mouth somewhat mechanically, as if he was reading a line from a script, and he had an obvious drawn-out tone after the word "understand", as if he knew it a long time ago, When he said this, he would definitely be interrupted by Eris——

"Okay, just pretend I don't understand anything, let's adjust the time to when you just found me according to the script..." Eris said, slowly retreating back to the original place, and then turned around , looking at the crumpled car not far away, his lazy and unscrupulous tone suddenly changed, "Oh my god, what's going on?!"

She exclaimed, the shock and fear in her voice were vivid, as if the time really went back to a few minutes ago, and Dr. Manhattan suddenly appeared and turned the running car into scrap iron.Eris turned around and looked at the silent Doctor Manhattan behind him as if he was facing an enemy, with a hint of composure in his tone.

"Doctor Manhattan, sure enough, except for you, no one can transfer from the east to the west of the city in an instant. Very well, I admit, you have caught me, but it is a pity that even if you are almighty, you can't do it now." Don't let me go." Eris said, even if she was wearing a mask now, Dr. Manhattan would know that the corners of her mouth must be twitching triumphantly at this moment.

"...why?" There was a negligible pause before Dr. Manhattan spoke his lines according to the future he saw.

"Because Jenny Slater has a bomb that can blow up the entire block, is this reason convincing enough?" Eris narrowed his eyes viciously, "If I die, the bomb over there will explode. Good to believe it, and... you better make sure she doesn't sit on that big soft bed you two have as soon as possible... oh shit, can I take your look like she's already in bed, Triggered the pressure bomb? Then you better wait for a while, no one knocks on the door..."

"Wait, I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten one thing. Federal agents will pry open the door of your house every day and routinely ask Little Jenny about your daily status, right? And today's time to ring the doorbell, probably Is it..." Eris looked at his watch. "Two minutes later? Maybe they've entered the elevator by now."

Dr. Manhattan's face flashed a trace of the solemnity he pretended: "What do you want? So that you can let her and the people in that block go."

"Please, can you change the line, you are talking like you still have emotions and care about those people, it seems that we have to discuss the script issue in the future." Hearing this, Eris seemed to change suddenly. She rolled her eyes and sneered at someone, and in the next second, she switched back to the previous "big villain" mode, "What do I want? Please, Doctor, don't treat me like that kind of greedy human being , Everything I do now is driven by my survival instinct, what I want is for you to leave here quickly and return to that bomb."

As Eris said, she turned and walked into an alley. After an unknown period of time, when she was almost out of his sight, she heard the gentle voice again——

"May I know how you tricked the agents around the apartment into planting the bomb?"

When Eris heard this, she smiled. She gently raised the mask on her face, and looked sideways at Dr. Manhattan with the fire behind her back. Her strange and sharp eyes pierced his heart like a knife——

"Then may I know, is your question coming from the future you see, or your own thoughts at this moment?"

Doctor Manhattan fell silent, and Eris turned mercilessly and disappeared into the shadows.

Yes, as she said, their future is very long.

He still remembers that when he transformed from Jon Osterman into Dr. Manhattan, the accident of the quantum conversion experiment annihilated his physical body, and his mind was taken to a non-material realm. Soon after, he tried to reorganize himself, but he Its ability is still very unstable, and it took three times to complete the formation.

And at that time, when he was just thinking, he also briefly saw his future in that uncontrolled particle.Jenny Slater would leave him at last, just as Jenny had turned and sprinted away when he was out of the body, and he... would finally have his attention on someone else.

But a tachyon flow caused by something unknown made him unable to see the more distant future of this world, and he could not see the end of him and her, which may be the reason for the outbreak of the nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union.

In his future, he'll be in love with a stranger he hasn't met yet, and this world, this quantum reality, this timeline, told this to him just created.
