Three-stream detection simulator

"The second suspect is a serving soldier."

Hercule was indeed reading and recalling the mission records at the beginning, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have a photographic memory before traveling through time. Who except those who write fan fiction would go out of their way to memorize the plot of the game.

"The police found the remains of burned military uniforms at the scene of a certain fire. They extracted DNA from the residues, so the case was transferred to the Military Criminal Investigation Service Center. The two parties were responsible for closely monitoring and tracking nearby individuals. members of a military base and finally confirmed that the DNA sample provided by one of the soldiers matched the DNA obtained in the fire.”

Officer Davis understood: "The arsonist used local materials and his own uniform as a wick?"

"I think so."

The black police officer muttered: "There is nothing new under the sun... Since this soldier can be regarded as a suspect, does it mean that there are also words 'This is the apocalypse' on the fire scene?"

"Indeed." Hercule replied, "However, this is actually a coincidence. The smoke alarm failed when the fire broke out. The serial arsonist burned the house again after Suspect No. 2 committed the murder, so the traces left behind are consistent with the The other cases are basically the same.”

A policeman outside the door couldn't help but said: "Another coincidence?"

Director Stacey still insisted on his original statement: "I don't believe in coincidences."

Officer Davis asked Hercule, "What's going on with the soldiers?"

"Crazy." The detective said with a slightly regretful tone, "Because of the war for many years."

The audience looked at each other. The world is generally peaceful these days, and there are only a few places that can be called "consecutive wars." Some people speculate: "The Middle East?"

Officer Davis thought: "Where is the third suspect?"

Hercule has already read the mission record quickly with his brain power, and will turn off the panel and continue with his memory: "You may find it a bit incredible, because the ghostly fires are still happening after the soldiers were imprisoned, and there are some among the dead. Some upper-class people and the police have been unable to stop the details of the case from being spread among the public. More and more people are participating in the discussion, and the scene after the fire has been described by the media as miraculous--"

Officer Davis couldn't hold back his anger when he heard this. He is a hateful person: "The worst result is official inaction."

Anyway, the premise described by Hercule is a 'hypothesis', and no one will make a fuss about his conclusion.

"Hmm." Hercule politely did not comment, "All in all, the third suspect cannot be said to be a specific 'person'. Some people have interpreted the madness of suspect No. 2, thinking that he protects mankind. The identity harming the protected person is actually inspired by some kind of inspiration, which can be called apocalypse.

Their theory is that there is a higher level of great existence that intends to cleanse mankind. Just like the ignorant ancient times, the people of the earth gained civilization from the flames, and the new world will also be revealed in a trial that burns out sins. "

Officer Davis repeated in surprise: "Someone started to worship the fire and believed that it was a divine revelation? You mean, the third suspect is a god?"

"That's right." Hercule also felt that this plot was very strange. Perhaps the more technologically advanced a society is, the easier it is for people's spirits to lack stable sustenance. "And the conclusion that 'the criminal is a god' is not my conclusion. There is an official announcement that there is an evil spirit in the place. The believers use rituals to pray to the evil gods for supernatural powers, and the fire is both a sacrifice and a reward.”

Officer Davis frowned and couldn't help but ask: "What... place are you talking about?"

After all, this was still a police station. He swallowed the inappropriate adjective in the middle.

Hercule smiled slightly and said the name of a completely unfamiliar place: "Agrarian Uia."

——Commonly known as Novice Village.

No one thought he was telling the truth, only that Hercule was being sarcastic.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and the last person to break the silence was Iron Man. He said "uh" and said frivolously and out of place in the heavy atmosphere: "If I understand correctly, the serial arson cases currently happening in New York are imitations. Will they come with the order in which the suspect appears? Will I be lucky enough to see the mayor of New York, Norman Osborne, declare that the criminal is the evil god? "

"..."

The gloomy atmosphere was gone, and everyone glared at Tony. Director Stacey glanced at him several times with novel eyes, feeling that the CEO of Stark Industries actually had something. No wonder he would voluntarily give up arms profits and turn to become Iron Man.

Regardless of whether Stark had other thoughts when he spoke, Director Stacey was willing to admit his feelings and solemnly promised: "We will do our best to find the real murderer."

Everyone agreed. Director Stacey was about to analyze the intelligence given by Hercule and question the fourth suspect when a sharp gunshot was suddenly heard outside the corridor. At first, almost no one reacted, and everyone looked at each other blankly, but within a few seconds, the sound of the second bullet leaving the barrel of the gun sounded, deafening and close at hand.

It's not unusual to hear gunshots in New York, but what's strange is where they happened. No one in the police station expected this unexpected situation, and there was a sudden chaos. Many people covered up their panic in the form of rage, grabbing the people around them and asking loudly: "What's going on? Where did the gunfire come from?"

"Police station lobby! Go to the lobby quickly!"

"There are people injured!!"

"Alert! Everyone alert! What the hell are you doing?!"

"Don't move!! The person who shot is a colleague! I have restrained him!!"

The policeman who shouted at the end struggled and pinned a man in police uniform against the wall. Both men looked hideous due to the struggle. The former yelled at his colleagues:

"Get me some handcuffs!"

It took nearly half an hour for the chaos in the New York Police Department to subside. Hercule, who originally wanted to exchange information as soon as possible and then go back to his teammates' house, was forced to stay for a while longer.

Fortunately, the chief, several police inspectors, and most of the detectives were all at the scene at this time, so everyone did not fall into panic because of this sudden shooting that occurred in the base camp.

Now everyone is concentrated in the lobby of the police station where the gunshots were fired. Someone reported to Chief Stacey: "The shooter was Claire Berg from the Department of Community Affairs. He fired a total of two shots and did not hit anyone, but two officers were grazed by stray bullets."

Chief Stacey asked: "Did he suddenly draw his gun?"

The police officer replied with lingering fear: "Yes, there is no warning."

"What were you doing before Borg shot?"

The police officer hesitated for a moment: "We - another guy and I were talking about the fire in Aria's apartment in the afternoon, and then he suddenly got violent and hurt people. I swear we didn't talk about anything related to him!"

The director and his colleagues looked at each other, looked at the shooter who had fallen into a coma and said to himself: "...Is it because of Aria or the fire?"

"Chief." Officer Davis thought of something, hesitated for a moment with a gloomy expression, and said in a volume that could only be heard by a small audience around him, "Hercule Hugo said that there are arsonists in the police station. ”

Everyone else was startled, as if a chill ran down their spines and onto the back of their necks. Officer Davis added: "If everything can be verified, should we let Hercule Hugo leave the police station?"

Letting him go means losing the clues. On the other hand, the detective may also encounter danger outside. By not letting him go, Hercule was ‘detained in the police station’, and the NYPD became an accomplice in helping the arsonist move along the established path.

For a moment, people seemed to be caught in some kind of prophetic paradox, and someone asked in a low voice: "All the information was told to us by Hercule Hugo. Could this have been planned by him in advance?"

If someone was behind all this, what was his purpose? Humiliate the police and the government? Could this be a real-life Moriarty?

No one wants to imagine that situation. They turned back and followed the detective's figure with their eyes. At this time, Hercule somehow got into a conversation with Iron Man who was standing on the other side of the hall. The two of them were talking as if no one else was around. Patrolman Pate stood next to him in charge. guard.

Director Stacey frowned.

But the landline phone in his office suddenly rang, displaying the system's internal number. The first three area codes were Gotham.

"Sorry, I'll take a call first."

The chief walked away in a hurry, and the policemen who were left behind did not dare to chat. They looked around very vigilantly, worried that another mole would pop up from somewhere.

After a while, Director Stacey came back quickly and said with a delicate expression: "Okay, everyone returns to their respective posts and remains alert. Mr. Hercule Hugo, you can leave."

Officer Davis didn't expect the chief's thoughts to change so quickly: "But he hasn't said who the fourth suspect is yet? What if that's the real murderer?"

Director Stacey said: "I remember he also said that the New York case is not exactly the same as the events he has experienced. First of all, he is the client, and you have to fully trust his words, then you cannot use his words to find the murderer. You If you question what he said, the so-called fourth suspect may even be a trap.”

After speaking, he exhaled and shook his head: "But this case may involve more things than we previously expected. You should pay special attention when talking in the past two days. In addition, isn't Stark interested in arson cases? Ask Ask him if he can find a way to pay more attention to New York."

This simply means asking for help from superheroes outside the system.

Many people are dissatisfied, but the situation is so serious that there really is no room for further thought. This topic was quickly ignored, and another police officer said: "In fact, we learned afterwards that another thing happened after the Aria fire: someone saw Iron Man landing in the back alley of the apartment, and in addition there was a black shadow. ”

Neither Chief Stacey nor Officer Davis understood. The chief asked, "What?"

"Dark shadows, dark unknown creatures, black monsters spreading from the shadows on the 10th floor, that's what the witnesses said anyway."

"..."

Finally, it was the voice of a certain police officer that ended the day in this ridiculous police station: "Our world is getting weirder and weirder! Do you feel this way? Speaking of which, who saw Pat! Where are the people? ? ! He should be responsible for the pile of papers on my desk!"

**

"Pate" sneaks out of the police station with Tony Stark and Hercule. Batman pulled his equipment out of Hercule's suitcase and returned the suitcase to the detective.

The Gotham vigilante moved so fast that Tony only had time to see a ray of silver light. He was a little suspicious that it was the moonlight reflected by the metal on the box: "What exactly is in your box?"

Hercule wanted to answer the source of inspiration, but Batman's disapproving gaze followed him first. That meant: Are you really not going to save your image?

So he changed his words: "It can be roughly summarized as my iron will."

Tony:?

Feeling perfunctory.

He raised his mouth: "In other words, Bruce Wayne bought an apartment in New York because the Gotham Police Department commissioned two guys to help him investigate the fire. Thank you, if my secretary knew about this, she would not torture my ears with the name Wayne every day."

While speaking, he glanced at Batman's uniform and Hercule's clothes that cost less than a hundred yuan, and stretched out his metal-covered palm to pat "Pate" on the shoulder: "By the way, since you have spent money, why not let Wayne sponsor something better."

"..."

Iron Man's mask fell down ostentatiously, and the mask and jaw armor closed, making an expensive knocking sound.

He flew away, leaving behind an ambiguous sentence:

"I think we will meet again tomorrow, Detective 1 and Detective 2."

Hercule thought that the eighth wonder of the world should be that Tony Stark has never been put in a sack.

Oh, no, considering that he was just kidnapped to Afghanistan, the eighth wonder collapsed.

Batman thought that Hercule and Iron Man had room for communication in eloquence, and they both had different ways of annoying people.

After changing back to the original skin, he steadily dragged out the mutant who had been knocked unconscious before: "We should exchange information, detective. Your concealment is of no benefit to our cooperation."

This is not called concealment, or even bad luck, but should be called 'the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light', or arranged by someone. Hercule shook his head at him: "Wait a minute, let's find a quieter place first."

In the end, the two left separately and met in the Aria apartment room. The door of the neighbor Oliver was finally closed, probably because there were really many people passing through the corridor today. Hercule did not disturb him, and went straight to room 10C, opened the door and walked in.

Batman had convenient transportation, and he arrived first as usual, telling Hercule about his experience today.

Hull was silent after listening. After a while, he stood up abruptly and moved the vase behind Batman from the row of drawers to the front of the only cabinet door next to it.

"..."

It's not without reason that some people always go to the police station.

Hercule didn't sit back after moving the vase. He just leaned on the mouth of the vase that just reached his thigh and said: "The first reaction of the teleported mutants when they saw you was to ask, 'Are you loyal to Magneto or Professor X' - he is neither a member of the Brotherhood nor a member of the X-Men. When did the mutant community have a third force?"

Batman: "You pay a lot of attention to mutants."

He didn't use the intelligence sharing preparations he had made. Although mutants often appear on TV, few people actually understand their internal differences. Just like facing racial differences, people are more likely to stereotype and label unfamiliar groups.

Isn't the newly upgraded "Wenwen Qiangshi" useful? Hercule nodded: "I do know a little bit. What else have you found?"

Batman took out the things that fell from the arsonist from his belt and placed them in a row on the coffee table: "These."

Hercule walked over and frowned after a moment: "What is this?"

As he spoke, he grabbed a flower branch and picked out a few pieces of glass from the debris. The edges of the glass pieces were burnt and deformed, and the surface was caramel-colored, making it difficult to see what their original structure was.

But Hercule had an idea after a little association: "Molotov cocktail."

That is, what people commonly call "flame bottle".

This explains why the mutant suddenly combusted, but it also leads to a new question: Why didn't his ability to control fire save his life before he died? And as a mutant who can set fire at any time, what is the purpose of him carrying a flame bottle?

"I need to sort out the clues." Hercule wanted to throw the branch away, but when he looked at the wilted flower blooming alone on the branch, his eyebrows twitched a few times, and he chose to go back and put it back into the bottle.

The previous occupants of this house left behind a lot of decorations. It was okay when you didn't pay attention to it during the day, but at night when the devil came, the spirituality surged... In short, Hercule needed to use his brain.

Restraining the standby action will affect your mood. When you are in a bad mood, you will be distracted when thinking. So he simply said while tidying up the room:

"The events we have encountered so far can be roughly divided into two lines. One is that my former client Shania Fortanmo sent a package, and now the package is missing. Her contact Marshall is missing. The building manager Ursula said that he was employed by the Stark Group and signed up for the fire prevention science lecture the next day.

We found a diary in Marshall's room, which mentioned that he would die at two o'clock in the afternoon on a certain day in July. Mutants hired by unknown forces broke into Marshall's room and set fire, intending to frame the serial arsonist - possibly to destroy the diary and kill Marshall. One of the mutants who carried a bottle of incendiary gas died, and the other one has not been interrogated yet."

Batman neither nodded nor shook his head, pretending not to see Hercule redecorating this room that should belong to Bruce Wayne.

"The second is arson. There is a connection between the serial arson case A that I have experienced, and the arson case B that occurred in New York. If the two have something in common, the key words may be the four suspects and the police insider. As a person, I The first suspect is in jail, and the NYPD has an internal shooting incident in the evening. Maybe the arson case A that I experienced will happen one by one. "

In particular, Hercule had some other speculations, but he lacked proof, so he didn't say anything.

He tossed the last remaining baseball bat from the previous homeowner into the air. The baseball bat made a few acrobatic turns in the air, then fell down and was caught by the detective and placed next to the vase - what a masterpiece! Looking at the messy decorations in front of him, he couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

"Oh, by the way, there is Iron Man, he said we will meet tomorrow. Where will we meet? He is coming to Aria Apartment?"

Hercule took out his flip phone with one hand, clicked on the browser icon that was larger than his finger and started searching for Stark news.

Batman next to him clicked on the armor on his forearm, and a palm-sized blue virtual screen appeared in the air. AI automatically identified the question and screened the entire network, and gave the answer in less than two seconds:

“The Fire Prevention Science Lecture on July 18th is a large-scale knowledge promotion event jointly held by the entire Upper West Side. The invitees include the Secretary to the Mayor of New York City, the Deputy Commissioner of the New York Police Department’s Community Affairs Department, the President of the Fire Prevention and Disaster Management Foundation, and the New York City Fire Prevention and Disaster Management Foundation. Members of the Municipal Public Transport Board...and Mr. Anthony Edward Stark and his Secretary."

The screen automatically turned off after the AI ​​finished broadcasting. Batman looked at the detective, and the detective looked at Batman.

After a few seconds, Hercule put down his phone and said, "No wonder Marshall doesn't go to work. When is the lecture exactly?"

BatComputer: "One to three in the afternoon."

It exactly covers the two points prophesied in the diary.

"That's interesting, what do you think?" Hercule looked at the sky and said to Batman, "We still have time to interrogate the suspect."

He watched the Dark Knight drag the unconscious mutant to the bathtub in the apartment bathroom. He didn't get too close out of politeness. He just stood near the sink and mirror, took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.

As soon as the mutant opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Hercule standing there holding a cigarette, staring intently at the filamentous smoke, motionless like a statue, and then he felt a strong force coming from the back of his head, straight towards him. He pressed into the water in the tub.

Batman has a knack for interrogations.

Sometimes he doesn't feel like a superhero.

Hercule leaned on the tiles peacefully, ignoring the moans and screams that came one after another not far away. It's hard to tell that this mutant is still a tough guy. He was suffocated for several rounds and still had the energy to struggle. Batman discovered the clue in time when he was trying to teleport away and put a discharge batarang against his lower back.

A blue-white electric light flashed through the bathroom, and the mutant twitched and slumped on the water-filled floor, staring blankly at the pale light bulb on the ceiling.

The short-distance teleportation ability is really troublesome. It is useless to tie him up. If he relaxes even slightly, he will let him go. Existing devices on the market that suppress superpowers are either too powerful and can cause permanent damage to the user, or are not as effective as discharge batarangs. Judging from this person's willpower, the effect of anesthesia interrogation may not be very good.

Hercule thought for a while, walked over, lowered his head and looked at the mutant lying on the ground, and said in affirmation: "You know me."

Batman tapped his forearm armor with his fingertips, but didn't stop him.

After a while, the mutant's eyes refocused. He did not run away, but stared at Hercule with a rather exaggerated, cruel and twisted smile: "Of course I recognize...ahem, I know you, detective."

Hercule was not frightened, and looked down quietly into his eyes.

After a while, the mutant looked away unnaturally.

Something is wrong. Batman thought. Rather than hating Hercule, this man was... afraid of him. The smile that was barely held up to cover up the weakness hung on the corner of the mouth, and within a few seconds it became stiff in Hercule's sight.

The mutant's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't control it.

He is afraid.

Compared to Batman who was interrogating him, he was actually more afraid of the detective who was standing next to him and didn't move.

Hercule noticed.

Curiously, he bent one leg and squatted down to take a closer look. In the process, he used the water on the ground to put out the cigarette with his left hand.

The mutant trembled greatly because of his movements, and his lips trembled for a long time, but he couldn't squeeze out the words he wanted to say, and his consciousness that he finally gathered was a little scattered again.

Hercule was greatly shocked.

What did I do? What’s wrong with you?

Batman had to say: "Don't scare him."

People are about to pass away.

Hercule: "..."

Who's scaring whom? Aren't you the one in charge of the interrogation between the two of us, Batman?

He was simply baffled. After a brief thought, he asked directly: "Who do you serve?"

The mutant was literally paralyzed and motionless. After a while, he finally made a gasping sound from his mouth. Hercule leaned closer to listen, and then said firmly: "Apocalypse Company."

The mutant didn't know how he got the correct answer from his breath. He rolled his eyes in panic and fainted again.

Batman turned on the computer for the second time and began to inquire about Apocalypse Corporation.

AI: "No relevant results."

Batman: "Query Apocalypse."

The wait was a little longer this time. As a result, the AI ​​gave the same answer: "No relevant results."

Hercule sorted through the information given by the 'knowledge and knowledge' skill and felt something was wrong: "Check the major news related to mutants that happened in 1983."

"No relevant results."

Hercule was slightly surprised, but did not show it: "Inquire about Apokolips."

"No relevant results."

Batman's heart was only more shocked than him. He took a step forward and got closer to Hercule, subconsciously increasing the sense of oppression on his body: "What happened in 1983? Where is Apokolips?"

Hercule glanced at the mutant on the ground, mouth opening and closing.

'Bo Wen Qiang Shi' told him that in 1983 AD, the first mutant in human history, En Shaba Nur, who was born in ancient Egypt, came back from the dead and called himself 'Apocalypse', and summoned four powerful mutants as ' The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse seek to start a war and establish a world ruled by mutants.

The scene at that time was by no means a trivial matter. 'Apocalypse' remotely controlled Professor The recorded events never happened.

A trace of gloom briefly stayed in Hercule's heart.

However, he quickly controlled his emotions and explained to Batman: "Apocalypse, as far as I know, is the codename of a mutant. Now it seems that he is not as famous as I thought. Is Apocalypse... a smart race? of alien planets.”

It's not that Hercule doesn't want to say more, but the former is not sure why the information given by the game skills is inconsistent with reality, and the latter is because the level of 'knowledge and knowledge' is too low, and he only has a brief introduction in his mind. :

[Apocalypse: The planet where Darkseid lives. 】

Darkseid, with a name that sounds like a villain at first glance, must be an intelligent creature, right?

Batman waited for Hercule to continue unfolding.

However, the detective kept his mouth shut, making an obvious gesture of refusing to talk, and returned his attention to the mutant prisoner. The unlucky guy couldn't escape for long. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Hercule with a very kind expression and tone.

No one knew what he was afraid of.

Since Hercule's inquiry was more effective than Batman's, the responsibilities of Detective No. 1 and Detective No. 2 were swapped.

"Wake up, sir." Hercule didn't intend to change his attitude and asked casually, "Can you tell me what Tianqi Company wants to do?"

"You..." the mutant's teeth were chattering, "you lawless person... the son of perdition! Go back to your sea!"

"?"

This is a religious term, and when translated, it probably means calling Hercule a blasphemer who betrayed God.

The man of lawlessness and the son of perdition are usually used to describe Judas or the Anti-Christ. The sea represents the image of evil. The beast in the sea appears in the Book of Revelation and is described as having ten horns and seven heads, wearing a crown. A monster who can do whatever he wants for forty-two months without dying.

Hercule was not insulted. If your enemy trembles like chaff and says such refined words as if begging for mercy, you will feel pity and a little ridiculous. He took out his flip phone, checked the time, and said, "You've wasted half the night."

The mutant looked at him blankly, as if Hercule had really grown seven heads. After a moment of silence, the man suddenly asked: "What time is it?"

"Eleven fifty-eight."

"Two minutes left..." The mutant looked away tremblingly, staring at the light on the ceiling, muttering, "I'm going to die... I'm going to die... all of us will die..."

This young man, who was not too old, completely lost his desire to live and started to choke up.

He stretched out his hand to grab Hercule's trousers, but Batman stepped on his wrist mercilessly, causing splashes of water to flow down the dark boots, mixed with the mutant's tears quietly. The ground flows to the sewer pipe mouth.

For some reason, Hercule had a feeling that time was running out. He spoke faster and asked, "Does Apocalypse Company have the ability to predict?"

The mutant's eyes flickered. At this time, his psychological defense had been completely defeated.

There really is. Hercule judged by his reaction.

"Marshall Hoffman and Shania Fordham received prophecies from you?"

The mutant didn't move. He didn't recognize these two people.

"Can the prophecy tell you the specific time of death?"

The mutant couldn't stop crying. He muttered prayers in his mouth, his words were slurred and confused, and he was completely untouched by the voice in his ears.

wrong.

What's wrong?

Hercule's mind was spinning rapidly. What is written in Marshall's diary? 'I will die today in July...at two o'clock in the afternoon...'

He supported the ground with his hands, completely ignoring that the water in the bathtub wetted his sleeves and knees. He lay half on the ground, staring into the mutant's eyes, and said in a very low but extremely clear voice: "The prophecy is about the time period! How many hours or days after a certain point in time will you die?"

The mutant shuddered heavily.

He guessed it right!

Hercules' heart was pounding. Two minutes were almost up. He had a very good sense of time. There were only a dozen seconds left, but he still had a lot of questions. Some of them were not suitable to be asked in front of Batman. The rest might not be known by this mutant. What direct and simple questions could be verified at this moment...

Batman grabbed Hercules' arm at this moment and tried to pull him away from the mutant: "Stay away from there!"

Hercules' stubbornness when he repeatedly restarted the game suddenly emerged. He knelt on the floor, pulled up the mutant's collar with his other hand, and said something in his ear.

The voice was so low that even Batman standing next to him didn't hear it. But he saw that the mutant finally showed a surprised expression. At the same time, a big fire suddenly exploded in front of the mutant, and pounced on the two humans in front of him like a vicious tiger. The surrounding water vapor could not stop the flames from spreading.

Hercules had not even let go of his hand. He growled and asked, "What's the relationship between Apocalypse and me? How did you know each other--"

Batman didn't wait for him to finish, and pushed him to a safe place, picked up the water pipe above, turned on the faucet and aimed it at the fire.

The water with great pressure gushed out, and the steam suddenly expanded, and the bathroom seemed to have turned into a steamer. Hercule hit his ribs on the raised faucet, and now his eyes were black and white. The black was painful, and the white was fog. He only felt the surrounding temperature continued to rise, and Batman's voice came steadily:

"--It's useless."

The Dark Knight kicked open the bathroom door and rushed into the room to find a fire extinguisher. Hercule staggered and followed him out of the bathroom. The moment his eyes saw the light again, he took a deep breath. Damn, his ribs still hurt.

The fire extinguisher was found. Hercule stood outside the door, watching a large amount of dust spray out from the pipe mouth, quickly covering the wailing mutants. But something even more bizarre happened-the fire extinguisher didn't work either.

The flames were like a python spitting out its core, wrapping around the mutant, tightly wrapping him, burning non-stop, and trying to drill into his body.

It was the first time Hercule had seen such a scene, and Batman had seen it for the second time. The contents of the fire extinguisher were almost used up, and the flames were about to go out, but it was not because the dry powder took effect, but because the person was almost burned.

Several pieces of glass fragments fell out of the inhuman structure and hit the half-dry ground, making a tinkling sound.

The incineration device was hidden in his body.

Neither Batman nor Hercule thought about this - because every time the flames exploded on the victim's body surface.

The smell in the bathroom became disgusting. Batman threw the empty tin can in his hand aside heavily and opened the window for ventilation.

"Damn it."

The moment the fresh air rushed in, he could hardly control himself and cursed at the starless night sky outside.

Hercule took another breath and turned back to look for his suitcase. He finally managed to walk more smoothly, but he had the idea of ​​winning in danger: "We still have a way to go, Batman. I remember you wanted to know what the mechanical heart does? Now I can show you."

Anyway, the cooling time of the game props is only 24 hours. Even if the communication with New York fails this time and no useful information is obtained, there will be another chance tomorrow. Gamblers will get everything they want in the end.

At this moment, Hercule is the top player who has reached the key plot node of the game, but he can't see the follow-up.

But he still has rationality. He hesitated for a moment and added: "If I have confusion, reduced reaction ability or disordered speech, you don't need to worry about it. It will be fine in a while."

After that, he added a skill point he had saved to the third skill of the intelligence branch.

【Absolute rationality lv.0→lv.1. 】
