Hercule was physically disabled but mentally strong.

He rejected Barbara's proposal to go to the hospital, and did not intend to sit behind the scenes, insisting on confronting the Joker. Robin tried to persuade him twice but failed, and asked helplessly: "But how do you know where he is?"

Hercule said: "I can't find the Joker, but I can find Harvey." With one sentence, he whetted the appetites of others, and he said to Batman, "We don't have to act together, maybe you can continue Investigate 'Wilkinson Technology Company'. If there are any clues there, then go to the financial district to meet up."

**

"You just didn't tell him that two Wilkinson Technology trucks were intercepted by us on the Gotham Bridge. They were filled with semi-finished products of entropy reversal weapons that were about to be shipped to New York's Oscorp Group."

There was no room for one more person on the motorcycle. When Robin got on the Batmobile that drove over again, he asked Batman,

"Why?"

Batman placed Barbara in the back seat and was about to take her home first. Hearing this, he said, "You don't have to feel sorry for him. Hercule is hiding much more from you than these two cars. "

Robin was confused: "It seemed like he didn't want us to get involved."

"Yes." Batman glanced at Barbara through the rearview mirror, "If he hadn't happened to meet Barbara Gordon, he would have been trying to avoid me in this city. With his layout ability, the result It is possible that we will not meet him until the end of the incident."

After a pause and starting the Batmobile, he continued, "You should be able to tell that this 'Joker' is familiar with Hercule. He is from over there. So Hercule may not want anyone involved in this incident. During the incident, maybe he was targeting me alone."

"...'over there'?" Barbara noticed this unusual word, but she was not sure if she was qualified to interrupt, so she only asked cautiously, "What does it mean?"

"Hercule Hugo came from a completely different time and space from our own."

Robin explained that he stretched out his hand to swipe on the screen of the Batmobile, and a file with a photo of Hercule popped up on it, "Based on the current intelligence, his hometown is full of war and chaos. Some of them look like A less than just organization rules the earth with no regard for the basic rights of the locals. It is in this environment that Hercule emerges..."

It was the first time in Barbara's life that she heard such a fantasy background setting, and she asked confusedly: "Then the detective must be a good person? Is he a superhero in that world?"

Dick in the passenger seat and Batman in the driver's seat looked at each other and said reluctantly: "Not necessarily. We can't judge Hercule's position. He seems to be opposed to these organizations that rule the world, but the power of a single person There is a limit. If both sides are evenly matched, he must have supporters or companions behind him.

But so far, all the strange forces that have appeared in the special time and space of our universe, let’s call them ABC, because ABC is his enemy. "

"Assuming that the detective and those behind him are good people, there is no need to hide. So, Batman felt that unless Hercule shared everything he knew without missing a beat, there was definitely something wrong with him. "

Barbara was lost in thought.

Dick said: "I think Batman's analysis makes sense, but it's his business to keep it secret from the detective."

He shrugged at Barbara, "Don't be so uptight. You've been involved and you can have your own opinion."

Barbara said: "I just thought... what if he is really alone?"

The two people in front of the Batmobile all looked at her. The girl was a little nervous and mustered up the courage to say, "Maybe the detective doesn't have any companions in this matter, so he can only be alone?"

Batman began comparing the possibilities he listed.

The props in Hercule's hands were definitely not made by himself. The detective had no interest in scientific research and development. This was evidence that Batman suspected that he had companions, but Barbara provided a new idea-maybe Hercule Kerry had been traveling with him before, but at a critical turning point that was likely to be related to the universe in the 21st century, the two sides had differences of opinion, resulting in him having to travel alone to a strange time and space.

This brings us back to the basic question: Where are Hercule's former companions? What are the respective purposes of him and the hostile force ABC? The detective seemed to have never mentioned the target of his operation at all. Did he not know or did he not want to tell?

To take a step back, with his mind, even if there is a problem with his memory, would he really have no idea at all?

- Hercule had many ideas.

Moreover, his original speculation has undergone earth-shaking changes after various changes recently.

First of all, in the player's perception, the three major forces in the game are undoubtedly the villains. This conclusion is based on the fact that they have no role in the background story.

But then, the Machine Heart, which inherited Iron Man's technology, emerged, and Constantine's soul also left some clues. Of course, these cannot change the stance of the three major forces, because the evil deeds they have committed are undeniable.

What they change...is actually the player's possible position.

The conjecture that Hercule had thought about many times but never said aloud was, must 'Hercule Hugo' be a good man?

It is known that some people in this world can live forever. The game timeline is in the future, and there may be a clown in the 21st century. The clown, who is the Twelve Apostles in the game, knows Argos and is familiar with the player's action patterns. This familiarity is difficult to cover up through lies.

Batman speculates that Hercule has companions, but Hercule himself is more aggressive. He thought: Could my former friend be a member of Tianqi Company or Ark Pharmaceutical?

Argos greeted him through the mouth of the experimental subject in the Pioneer Technology laboratory and said, "Long time no see, detective."

Is it possible that this is a greeting to a former teammate and now traitor? Argos, the giant with a hundred eyes in mythology, hid in the darkness and looked at Hercule with a smile on his scarlet eyes, and asked: "Do you still remember your ugly past? Do you think Can you pretend that nothing has ever happened if you walk in an old era full of light and no one knows you?”

Hercule admitted that he had had similar nightmares.

This started after returning from Hawaii. He interrogated himself and tried to face the darkness of the unknown place in his brain. But as Batman said, he was indeed alone from beginning to end, and had never met any relatives or friends who could tell the past and the truth. Therefore, even though all kinds of bad conjectures emerged in an endless stream, Hercule did not share them with anyone. Pass.

He once had a gun, which he placed in Hibida's belly. Hercule never intended to take it out. The cold muzzle of the gun reminded him of the scene in the hospital room on the Hawaiian island - he raised the gun, pointed it at the unsuspecting friends in front, and pulled the gun when he could not stop himself. trigger.

Self-doubt.

This is a negative consequence of the reduced sanity cap.

But Hercule remained tight-lipped, saying and showing nothing.

Hibida doesn't know, Iron Man doesn't know, Batman doesn't know, no one around him knows. In theory, no one could guess his random thoughts, but the Joker asked Charlie Brown to come up to him and tell an unfounded story.

‘You were born into an upper-class, wealthy family… You have many friends who share the same goals and are willing to fight for your goals throughout your life. Your life is full of light and hope. ’

Where is this friend? Who is referring to? Are they superheroes, or Apocalypse Corporation and Ark Pharmaceuticals? In a game world full of natural and man-made disasters, who's life can be called "full of light and hope"?

Then Hercule met Harvey Dent.

Harvey said jokingly: "I don't believe you have a past that can be washed into the sewer."

No one knew that the detective sitting opposite him was sweating on the palm of his hand holding the wine glass. Under the mental pressure of many days, he almost asked: How do you know? Who told you? clown? Have you betrayed me, Batman, and Gordon by standing here questioning me?

Fortunately, reason slowly suppressed the chaotic thoughts again.

‘We are on the same road. ’

Harvey placed the coin between them.

‘Honor your friendship! ’

Hercule clinked glasses with him. His thoughts were clear and his words were steady. The wine table was in harmony. Only the smile on the face of the prosecutor opposite seemed to contain a deep meaning - why didn't he ask someone else for help?

Why is it you Hercule?

Harleen said: "Because most people simply can't understand you."

She said crazily and with a cute and pretty face: "Charlie Brown has the qualities that interest me, but he is far from you. I am a psychiatrist, let me help you, detective."

Hercule took the initiative to hold her hand: "We can cooperate."

"Help!" The clown burst into laughter, "You are simply a madman! Has Argos seen you like this?"

"..."

"I've seen it."

Argos sat on the throne of the pyramid, leisurely turning the blue metal ring on his wrist, "We are in the same group, how come we haven't seen each other, right, detective? ...Long time no see."

**

"Meow-"

A shrill meow sounded in Hercule's ears. He was covered in cold sweat and suddenly woke up, gathering his thoughts into a ball that were so scattered that it was difficult to sort them out. The bus was about to arrive, and Hercule fell asleep on the way due to blood loss and exhaustion.

Hibida woke him up, and Hercule, who woke up from the nightmare, breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the cat's head. After he looked around and confirmed the environment, his thoughts were back on track: "Yes, this is Jason Todd's home. But we are not looking for him, but his father."

Jason's biological father was a career criminal, and the child's stealing skills came from his father's teachings. Compared to his promising young son who can pry off the tires of the Batmobile, Willis Todd is not a big shot.

But Hercule believes his career may have turned around recently.

Willis Todd is sleeping at home. His wife and children were missing, but he himself apparently drank too much alcohol and collapsed on the bed unconscious. Hercule immediately unlocked the door and walked to the bed, asking Hibida to hang him up and lick him awake.

Ordinary people have never seen this scene. When Willis opened his eyes, he found himself floating in the air with his head down. The cat's eyes in front of him were as wide as copper bells, and more than a dozen tentacles were tightly entangled around his body. He was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He closed his eyes and said without Hercule's threat, "Don't kill me! I don't know anything. You can take whatever you want!"

Hercule was injured and didn't want to waste any time.

He stole a cane from Jason's house that someone had used, helped his disobedient body stand steady, and casually found a piece of black cloth to cover his left eye, which was so confused that it began to affect his judgment, and then asked slowly: "Where did you send the things that Charlie Brown wanted to take from you? Has he come to see you in the past few days since then?"

In the end, he couldn't help but say more. Willis was not calm enough in the critical moment, his mind was blank, and he stammered: "Who is Charlie Bubu Brown?"

Hercules had a headache. How he wished that Hibida was a talking cat, so that he could ask for him at this time.

"I mean, the man you beat up that day. He wanted to steal things. Do you have an impression of this description?"

Charlie Brown's injuries were caused by Willis Todd. Catherine Todd was also present at the time, so Charlie would rush to investigate after seeing Catherine. The two quarreled at the charity in the middle of the night, and Charlie didn't get what he wanted. And he wanted only one thing: the missing semi-finished material of 'Wilkinson Technology Company' that caused him to lose his job.

Willis remembered: "It was him, I remembered! I beat him up and drove him away. That thing was picked up by my son from outside, and it has nothing to do with me!"

Hercule didn't care how Jason picked up this precious prop. Again, the child was obviously young and promising, in line with Batman's aesthetics, and a superhero reserve. The detective continued to question Willis with his cane, and his polite attitude was a little bit unable to support his increasingly uncomfortable body.

He asked with obvious annoyance: "Where did you send it?"

"I gave it to the Black Bang! The Irish!" Willis trembled and said the answer that Hercule had guessed long ago, "They promised me that they would make me the boss of this area after the matter was completed. I don't know anything else. The guy named Charlie Brown you mentioned has never come to see me..."

Before he finished speaking, with a "crash", the window of this old residential building was broken from the outside.

A man wearing a green tights, goggles, and holding a half-closed giant hang glider in his hand jumped in, aiming his gun at the two people and the cat in the room: "Don't move!!"

It was obvious that he only noticed the bizarre scene of the cat hanging people with its tentacles after entering the house, and opened his mouth in shock after making verbal threats.

Hercule waited for the rabbit to come, and asked for confirmation: "Charlie Brown?"

"--Call me Kite Man."

The man answered fiercely with all his might.
