Three-stream detection simulator

Fury had just planned to combine the Devourer and the detective, and was also trying to build a project around Hercule - his sense of crisis prompted him not to miss any opportunity that might help.

If Hercule got into trouble at this time, he would lose an important talent, plus huge sunk costs. In addition, he had to consider the attitudes of Iron Man, Batman, Devourer, and even Constantine.

Oh, the Devourer had a part in SHIELD's contribution, and Constantine might be used to it.

But the remaining two are definitely not easy to deal with.

Tsk... I always feel that although the detective has not appeared for a long time, his circle of friends is unexpectedly reliable. Is it a coincidence or a premeditated plan?

Tony was puzzled and unbelievable, and he even suspected that Fury was playing him. He didn't even look at Hercule, and said aggressively to the director of SHIELD: "Why did he do this?"

"... forced?" Fury said fairly, "We have not yet discussed any alternative, permanent solution."

The two methods summarized so far have certain hidden dangers.

First, Hercule could learn from the old captain to discard his identity or use magic that may be less costly to divert the attack target of the ‘sea’.

This is equivalent to transferring the damage and making others the victims. Interestingly, if Hercule agreed to this choice, in a sense he would no longer be the opponent recognized by the ‘sea’. So is it the people who surrendered in their hearts who got the opportunity to live in peace, or is it that the magic really took effect and deceived the ‘sea’? No one can be sure.

The second method is to use the bell of Hibida.

But there is a problem with this bell. When it is activated, the effect of hiding the breath is not aimed at a fixed person, but it shields everyone indiscriminately. Brother Cat has confirmed this - when it was sleeping on the trash can, all passers-by and SHIELD agents turned a blind eye to it.

In other words, the ‘sea’ will temporarily stop because it can’t find a target, but Hercule will spend countless time and even a lifetime to be invisible in the eyes of others. After all, for the ‘sea’ formed by the negative collective of human subconsciousness, how long is a hundred years? It only takes a little attention to shape the short life of an unknown victim.

Hercule's special thing is that he claims that he may not die.

At the conference table, he expressed his opinion to everyone: "Batman should know this information. Robin was once protected by a special power in the upside-down world."

They can now be regarded as a small alliance. Batman, who was named, immediately began to receive the attention of teammates from all directions.

"...I know." He said calmly, "Robin said that he had a conversation with a being who called himself 'Gotham' in the Upside Down, but he was not sure if he was dreaming at the time."

It was the first time Constantine heard of it: "He fell asleep in the Upside Down? Lost consciousness in a space with deadly toxins in the air, terrible monsters everywhere, and mysterious powers beyond imagination? Your assistant is still alive?"

Zatanna asked: "Have you checked, B? Robin is still himself after coming out of the Upside Down? Has he been inhabited by evil creatures and become their pawns?"

Batman said simply: "I verified it. Robin was unharmed under the protection of the detective's coat."

People turned their heads in unison to look at the off-season coat that Hercule almost never took off. It was still so old, the dark surface was washed and faded, and the cuffs were a little frayed, which seemed nothing special. But it is indeed a multifunctional coat. Its most prominent advantage visible to the naked eye is that the pockets are very large.

Hercule had stuffed his pipe and gun inside his coat before, making it look bulgy. Although the coat was not slim-fitting, it was practical enough.

Tony looked at its shaky buttons and finally said his first words since the meeting began: "Can't the supernatural choose something good? If I sponsor an Armani, will the ghosts, spirits... whatever attached to this coat consider moving to another place?"

"I don't think so. They are usually one piece. You can imagine this coat as the incarnation of a nameless spirit. It is in a worrying state, so it is in a tattered state."

Constantine walked over, touched Hercule's collar, patted his pockets, and tried to lift the hem to see if there were any special symbols on the lining. Obviously, his purpose is very serious, but he can appear vulgar because of his sloppy attitude.

In order to satisfy Constantine's research desire, Hercule simply took off his clothes and put them in his hands: "You are welcome."

"No, no, no, you have to wear it." The wizard quickly threw the clothes back as if it was burned. "On the one hand, you are being watched by the sea, which is at least a layer of protection. On the other hand, the very directional protective magic may harm those who forcibly snatch it. For example, have you heard of the power of Shazam? If I steal it from its host, I must bear the backlash of this power."

"But this is strange..." He pinched his chin and asked in confusion, "Even if your clothes are really amazing, you took it off and handed it to Robin in the upside-down world, so who was protecting you at that time? If you are immune to all damage, it is obviously wrong. When we were in the Ava Reserve, you fell from the sky and fell badly."

Zatanna said, "Robin mentioned Gotham. Could it be the power of the city itself?"

"Yes -" Smoking was prohibited in the conference room, and Constantine could only pace back and forth. "We assume that Gotham or New York can provide this shelter. What about Hawaii? No, the sacrifice to the sea must be performed directly above the ocean... Then , Atlantis?”

Hercule said slowly: "I know nothing about magic, but it seems to me that Atlantis has a significant difference: it is not a city inhabited by humans."

Batman knocked on the table with his pen: "As far as I know, the residents of Atlantis are the descendants of humans and magicians, but they have different evolutionary routes."

Iron Man: "How do you know this? Forget it." He folded his arms and leaned on the chair, saying expressionlessly, "No matter what, I vote against it. If an action requires someone to sacrifice, this is what everyone here Everyone, including me, is incompetent. Rather than trying to figure out how to save Hercule Hugo’s life, I want to know how to—”

He raised his hand and scratched his neck: "Get to the source directly."

The element-devouring beast Xibida had been lying on the table, feeling drowsy while listening. The only word it understood was 'Hercule Hugo', so it pricked up its ears and climbed up to purr next to the translator:

"He called you by your full name! In human social etiquette, does this mean that you have a bad relationship?"

Hercule didn't know how to explain to a cat that Iron Man was still getting angry.

In the end, in order to avoid being heard, he typed a response on the translator: "It's just that he likes to call it that."

Hibida suddenly understood: "So the full name is a kind of nickname?"

Yes.

Based on its relationship with the detective, it seems that they should have a special name for each other.

The black cat stood up and tried to speak human English while pinching his throat. But it is destined to be a useless effort. After many attempts, it can only produce a wheezing sound, such as the first three letters of , and it must be a British person who does not like to curl his tongue.

Finally, it grinded its teeth in dissatisfaction and settled for the next best thing: "Hehe!"

Very strange.

Hercule turned his head and tried to say to Tony tactfully: "'Sea' cannot be killed, Iron Man."

In fact, he shouldn't have spoken.

After failing to appease, Tony even laughed angrily: "Because people have limits - I find that you seem to have been trying to tell me this truth: you don't know everything, and I don't know everything. Take a lesson, detective."

Hercule wanted to smoke again. He finally took Batman's unfilled pipe and put it in his mouth, filled with an indescribable melancholy: We do sometimes reach out and touch the ceiling, and then get no further. Even if you maximize your attribute points, will everything be worry-free?

It is precisely because we know that there are always insurmountable mountains in the world that we should fight hard regardless of the consequences.

However, this may be due to the cold and free nature of his character.

But even if he didn't agree, facing Tony, Hercule still thought about it and said: "No, maybe one day we can really solve the problem of the sea. But now it's too late, and I don't want to die yet - you see, there are people in this world There are so many secrets waiting for me to reveal them one by one." He smiled and said friendlyly, "So let's study how to temporarily let the sea go. What do you think, Iron Man?"

Iron Man didn't answer, he turned off the engine.

Hercule continued: "There is a soul who died in vain on my pipe. He had the ability to travel through the mental world and drive the ark during his lifetime, but he never lost to the sea. I think the power he left behind is We have special advantages when facing the sea. Moreover, I would like to add a guess: maybe the most powerful enemy we need to face after going to the mental world is not the sea."

He pulled the photo sent by the agent to him, pointed to the black portal on the third mural and said: "——It reminds me of the black sun hanging on the sea level."

The dark portal with only a slight glow on the edge is like a total solar eclipse, and like an empty eye looking at the outside world through a photo.

This idea is particularly special, but since only Hercule and Black Sun have ever faced each other, no one else can offer any suggestions or refutations.

Constantine was actually a little hesitant, and his worries were very realistic: "What if your arrival stimulates the sea? We currently know three pieces of information. First, the third mural depicts people swallowed by the Black Gate and the people pouring out. ocean."

"Second, you learned the solution to the sea from a strange stranger hiding in the 'lunatic asylum' in the borderline realm, which is to sacrifice to the sea."

"Third, this is the same person. The lack of clear reference in every sentence not only misleads you about the supernatural power, but also wrongly introduces the relationship between the sea and the helmsman of the Ark."

"What if this is a well-planned trap? I don't believe you haven't considered similar possibilities: Will he intentionally induce people to follow his instructions and open Pandora's box of the 'sea'? Three murals Who painted it? What does it have to do with this person? Which side is correct?"

Even though Hercule filled in a lot of information, there were still large gaps in the information they knew.

Batman also said: "We still have another doubt that has not been resolved, which is the Kryptonian text painted next to the first graffiti. From the beginning to now, I have not seen any connection between the whole thing and the Kryptonians. "

"I think the point is not Krypton, but the meaning of that sentence. The mural I have seen does not have this text - it is actually engraved on a spaceship, and it was originally in English."

This may mean that the designer behind the scenes knows Kryptonian.

Or it may mean that the original owner who said this sentence is likely to be a Kryptonian.

Hercule directly relied on his memory and copied the words on the paper, "'Our salvation is not in heaven, not in the ground, but in everyone's heart.'"

Then he drew a circle on the letter representing "heart".

"This word should refer to the world of mental images."

If there is no such sentence next to the graffiti, it is just an ordinary and common mural. Only with this sentence, it becomes a metaphor, and the whole event becomes a repetition of the side quest.

Hercule has a feeling that this sentence is what the opponent has to write in order to give the mural a certain "concept".

——The event starts with this.

It will also end with the stranding of the Sea Monkey and the crash of the fishing boat.

He looked at everyone at the conference table seriously and said solemnly: "No matter what, I must go to the mental world again."

"What for?"

"To see the sea."

No matter where in the world, there is always a sea in people's hearts.

No matter how powerful the sea is, there is always an ark under people's feet.

What has happened will happen again. What has been done will be done again - the torch of the predecessors has been passed to Hercules, and now it is his turn to face the sea.
