[Comprehensive Movie] Goddess of Dispute

—"Did you sleep well, Mr. Witter? You seem to have had a sweet dream."

This soft voice pretending to be caring startled Adrian instantly from his bewildered state. He stared wide-eyed at the familiar retro-style ceiling above his head. Even though he was as smart as he was, it would be difficult for him to recover from his dying state. , not to mention the unbearable headaches that accompany it.

Of course, after all... He has experienced nearly half a hundred years, witnessing the development of the world, the advancement of technology, and the rapid changes of nature in the past half century.He has gradually moved from his youth to his old age, and he is getting old. He thought that he would end his life with inexplicable loss and unwillingness in the company of his descendants, but in the next second, a person who seemed to come from the other side of the sky The ethereal voice that came from him suddenly pulled him into another world.

Here is his private apartment on the top floor of his company, and he is lying on his bed.

The swelling pain in his head could only interfere with his judgment for two seconds, and then he realized in an instant that he had been tricked, and he thought that he could no longer be confused by Eris' illusion—after all, he had debunked her illusion more than once —but the truth is still there!

He spent his "life" in her illusion!No wonder at the end, he still felt something was wrong, no wonder his heart was still empty, after all, all this was just a phantom comparable to reality!

If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that this time has already collapsed. I have walked my whole life, exhausted physically and mentally, and my thinking has reached the twilight years, but in the end I found that this is just a dream. No one has the heart or courage to repeat the following Most of my life.

But Adrian was different. Despite being tormented by the headache after waking up, he remained calm and quickly thought about the most basic question-when did he fall into the illusion of Eris?Before she was caught, or after she escaped from a mental hospital?No, although he didn't want to admit it, but if her illusion can really do this, then it is very likely that he failed from the very beginning.

But when it comes to a specific point in time, it is a bit difficult. After all, he still has more memories of "more than 50 years" in his mind. He didn't see any clues before, but now it is even more challenging for him to "remember".

"You'd better replenish the salt water." A glass suddenly appeared in Adrian's somewhat blurred vision, and Eris was standing beside his bed.

At some point, countless large instruments appeared in his huge bedroom, and countless wires covered his carpet, so dense that there was no place to stay.The roar of the machine also entered his ears at this time, the pain in his head gradually weakened, and his vision gradually returned to normal.

It's only been five seconds since he woke up.

He glanced at the water glass in front of him, without any hesitation, he took it very naturally, and drained it.Then, he casually placed the glass on the head of the bed, got out of bed, and stood shoulder to shoulder with Eris in front of the huge instruments.What surprised him was that he couldn't tell what these things were used for. The only thing he could be sure of was that the purpose of Eris dragging this pile of metal to the Werther Group building was to confirm that the group had one of the best power systems in New York.

After a moment of silence, Adrian heard his own voice, which was so calm that he didn't even know what he was thinking.

"The coffee shop?" He asked an inexplicable question.

"That's right." Eris knew what he was asking, she said without raising her head, her fingers kept moving and flying on the typewriter keyboard.

"From... the moment I walked into the coffee shop." Adrian glanced at the heavy curtains. Eris has used curtains to isolate the windows of the entire room from the outside world. Under normal circumstances, if there is no clock, this is difficult. Let people distinguish the sky outside the window, "And I was lost for a day."

"Double illusions are always so easy to confuse people." Eris finally stopped his work, "I let you fall into a time-compressed illusion, and then, in your illusion, all the Soviet agents turned into coffee shops ordinary customers, smart people will always notice that those customers are fake, but it is difficult to find out that the whole world is fake.”

"Of course, because it's the first time I've tried compressing time in the illusion, so I'm not sure what the consequences will be. It seems..." Eris suddenly picked up a pen-shaped flashlight and took a photo of Adrian's Pupils, watching their instinctive reactions with satisfaction, "It just makes you dizzy for a while, which is within the acceptable range. After all, I can't make the smartest person in the world have cerebral palsy all at once, can I?"

These words of Eris made Adrian's recovering head start to ache again.

"As I said, Adrian, in your illusion, I told you that you have one of the biggest shortcomings, that is conceit and competitiveness. I keep letting you see through my illusion, gradually, you also I will no longer take my little method with no lethality to heart."

Yes, all of this was done on purpose by Eris.No one would pay attention to their defeated opponents. Although Adrian was cautious and smart enough, Eris also used this to deal with him.Because Eris also said that she would never underestimate a person twice.

If Eris plays dumb and pushes too hard, always pretending to know nothing and not notice anything, Adrian will be suspicious, because he knows she is not a fuel-efficient lamp.Of course, if Eris used too little force and wiped away Adrian's eyeliner beside him from the very beginning, then I'm afraid this guy will be more cautious, and he won't be exposed in a few years.

So this speed needs to be carefully grasped, just as Adrian didn't wipe out the eyeliner belonging to Eris around him, and also cooperated with her in acting, so did Eris.

She knew Adrian had bugged the bar, but she said nothing.She knew that the president had found Adrian and wanted to play tricks behind her back, and she pretended not to know anything.She knew that the deal at the factory was actually a trap set up by Adrian. In order to succeed in his plan, he didn't even tell the American agents who traded with Eris, and waved their hands ruthlessly, treating them as It was a stepping stone designed by her own people, but she still played a good show with the Soviet agents in cooperation with him.

Of course, the Soviet agents always knew that she was making deals with the Americans. The president thought he could monitor the whole world, but in fact it was just making wedding dresses for others. It was the Soviet Union who really wanted to be a monitor.Once the "Eye of God" program is started, all satellites in the United States will be interfered or hacked, and it will be the Soviet Union that successfully receives the information.

However, "God's Eye" is just one step of creating God, and everything she does now is the most important thing.She has been preparing for these two hidden missions for nearly half a year. Eris will not allow sudden troubles at critical moments, and the only people who can make her a little trouble are Dr. Manhattan and Pharaoh.

The two said that it was easy to solve it, and they were right to say that it was difficult to solve. After all, their strength lies there.She put Adrian in a coma for the day, which freed her up for the end of the day.As for Dr. Manhattan who was about to appear outside the coffee shop, Eris could only think of a way to distract him. If he continued to stay in New York, he might be able to find her out in less than ten minutes.

"Let me guess where you sent Dr. Manhattan away." Adrian touched his chin. When he was thinking, his brain was running very fast like a computer. Almost in the next second he used the statement The tone suggested a place name, as if it was really just a guess on his part rather than a deduction based on fact, "Vietnam."

The Vietnam War that started in 1955, both Eisenhower and Kennedy invested a lot of energy in this war between capitalism and communism.Kennedy did not send Dr. Manhattan into the war, perhaps because the doctor himself was too powerful, but this does not mean that stupid Nixon would not, especially, under the stimulation of the Soviet Union.

Since Eris has expected that on this day, he will break the precarious balance between him and her, then of course she will contact her allies and ask the Soviets to do some small tricks, making Nixon, who has been suffocated for a long time, , Angrily threw the government's trump card to Vietnam.

"Congratulations, you got the answer right. As a reward, I can answer a question for you. Anything from the laws of the universe to the laws of history and the nature of the world is fine. But let's have a challenging one." The face looked at Adrian excitedly, as if expecting him to ask some big and shocking questions.

"I don't need answers that I already know."

"Know?" Eris' eyes widened slightly, and suddenly, she suddenly lowered her face again, her eyes darkened, and the corner of her mouth once again showed that devilish arc of a smile that was not a smile, as long as anyone who has been tricked by her knows that, Once she shows such a wicked smile, it means that something is wrong, "Do you really understand your world?"

Adrian frowned at Eris' rhetorical question that seemed to mean something else.

However, Eris didn't seem to want to get too entangled in this issue. The second after she finished speaking, she changed the subject and put one hand on the machine beside her.

"Do you really have no other questions? For example, how did these come about? For example, why didn't I kill you? For example, what do I want to do? Don't be so uncooperative, my dear, isn't the big villain talking about showing off his knowledge and skills now?" Time for a grand plan? You gotta make me, like those villains in the comics, tell the whole story of my great plan!"

"You want to create a 'god' for the Soviets. I already knew that." Adrian was not affected by Eris' exaggerated tone. He said calmly. Until now, he still seems to feel that he has The possibility of a comeback, "And your things are probably related to the 'god' who allows the Soviets to monitor the world. Once activated, the huge voltage required by the machine will plunge the entire New York into darkness, but on the contrary, the Soviet Union that welcomes the 'light' One can see everything."

"They can strike anywhere, especially in the chaos of New York, and EMP and the bombs you plant can really do what you want - although you must be just misleading me, you have other methods - create If there is a tachyon, Dr. Manhattan will still fall into a short period of fuzzy future, and at this time, once the Soviet Union launches a nuclear strike, he will not be able to intercept it."

"But don't forget, Eris, even if the doctor can't see the future, he can still tell where the source of interference is, and he can find it here."

Listening to Adrian's analysis, Eris gradually raised a smile on his face. "You don't always like to admit defeat, right? That's right, I do have other methods to create tachyons that surpass the technology of this era, blurring the doctor's vision, and he can indeed locate the target by tracking down the source of interference. Here... but so what?" she said, pressing a key on the typewriter.

In the next second, there was only a bang, and all the machines in the room were blown out of white smoke as if they were overloaded and scrapped.

Failed?No, because the look on her face told him she had succeeded.

Immediately afterwards, the window facing the two disappeared as if out of thin air, and a bright blue humanoid creature slowly floated in.

"You're just in time, doctor." Eris saw Doctor Manhattan, with a brighter smile on her face, she clapped her hands, and then pointed to the open space behind her, "Come on, let me introduce to you, the world The first artificial intelligence in the world, well, I have to choose a cool name... let's call her the White Queen."

With a sound of "Zi La", as Eris' voice fell, a flickering image of a loli in a white dress appeared in the direction of her finger.

"Administrator, you are... well... glad to... serve you..."

Intermittent voices, like rusty gears, squeezed out from the girl's open and closed lips.
