Chapter 142: Dr. Manhattan
"Your sister!"
Su Ming’s scolding sound just came, but his current position is no longer a bat cave.
The clown's unintentional behavior pitted him.
He looked down at the small sign in his hand. This is a yellow round badge. Many boy scouts or children have it. Sometimes fast food restaurants use it as a meal gift.
Only this one is special. There are a few dazzling scarlet blood stains on it. The blood stains appear to be splattered, but they can't be wiped off, as if they were integrated with the badge.
That is a badge of a smiling face, two black dots are eyes, and a simple arc is a smiling mouth.
But with the strange blood stains, Su Ming knew what it was for the first time.
This is the badge of Laughing Craftsman.
The laughter in "Watchmen" likes to wear it on his chest. Pharaoh went to kill his former teammate, but Dr. Manhattan rescued the laughter at the last moment and instantly transferred him who had fallen from a tall building. In the sea, escaped death.
But the badge fell. The blood stains on it were left by the laughter and the Pharaoh when they were fighting.
Originally, the Watcher universe was a separate universe, but when N52 was reborn, the editors integrated their world into the main universe, placing this inhuman super power in the depths of the main universe.
The story background of "Watchmen" is during the Cold War period, so this inhuman blue man is regarded as a representative of the powerful American power. The editors gave him a lot of powerful abilities.
There is such a passage in the original manga.
"There was no **** in the world, but now there is, he used to be an American."
is indeed a god. Although it does not involve the concept of multiverse, his ability is the highest in any single universe.
He exists and does not exist at the same time. It is completely a quantum aggregate, capable of predicting the future, creating and destroying the world, controlling time, changing cause and effect, and annihilating particles.
This is only a small part of his ability.
Like Barbatos, he can erase a thought if he wants to.
It’s just that God uses faith and divine art, and he uses quantum theory, one theology and one science.
Of course, God is strong in the coexistence of multi-dimensional universes, while Dr. Manhattan can only be confined to one universe.
"Watchmen" is one of DC's most successful comics. It is about a superhero whose codename is Pharaoh. He is deeply aware of the dark clouds of nuclear war. For world peace, he assassinated his teammates, framed and misled Dr. Manhattan, and made him The story of becoming the common enemy of mankind.
When Dr. Manhattan was controlled by him to instantly destroy many cities, showing inhuman and harmful power, people have a common enemy, and the world is peaceful.
When everything passed, Dr. Manhattan knew the truth of the matter. He believed that what the Pharaoh had done was right, so he silently took up the pot and headed to the outer galaxy.
Before leaving, he also killed his teammate, Rorschach, who planned to tell the truth to the world.
Rorschach feels that Manhattan has been unjustly wronged and people need to know the truth.
However, after Dr. Manhattan became a quantum entangled body, there is no human mind at all. He only knows the pros and cons. He feels that world peace and the existence of the earth are the most important, and the truth is irrelevant.
If Rorschach reveals the truth, then a world nuclear war will break out, and those who died before will be dead in vain.
Those who hinder peace are his enemies, so he blasted Rorschach into blood with a single thought.
...........
When the world merged, Dr. Manhattan appeared in the main universe, still the original recipe, the original taste.
Those who threaten the survival of the world must be dealt with, accidents are not allowed to exist.
But after so many years, his methods have changed. He stole ten years of the main world, and no one knows where these ten years have gone.
There are only the speed ones. Barry’s nephew Wally noticed that all the people in the universe had been lost for ten years, but his information was still vague.
At his reminder, Batman digs in the bat cave, and unexpectedly digs out one thing in the stone, that is the badge of the laughter.
Bruce didn't know what was the use of this thing, so he kept it in the bat cave as a display, and there was no progress in research on it.
It is an ordinary aluminum product with an iron paper clip on the back. The paint and pattern on it are very common. Gadgets like Gotham sell for about 5 cents each.
But there is always a feeling that tells Batman that this thing is not ordinary, but he has no answer to the special.
......................
Su Ming has a guess about the lost time of ten years. Manhattan is likely to take this time out as a time and space cage, that is, an incomplete independent world.
There are no heroes and no villains. It's just an ordinary world, a peaceful world under his control.
In addition to Slade’s previous experience, Su Ming suspected that he was locked in by Manhattan.
Dr. Manhattan can stretch this period of time indefinitely, and if he wants to, he can even turn ten years into eternity, or let this period of time continue to restart.
Maybe Slade knew too much, and Manhattan decided to imprison him for life; maybe Slade carried some bad concept, so he must be isolated.
In short, in the cage formed over the past ten years, Slade has experienced life after life, life after life.
But everything was interrupted by Su Ming's sudden appearance.
The death knell escaped from prison.
Perhaps Dr. Manhattan has noticed these changes, but it may be that he thinks that the new death knell needs to wait and see, or other reasons prevent him from dealing with Su Ming the first time, and no one can understand his thoughts.
But the moment Su Ming got the Laughing Craftsman badge, he had a direct contact with Dr. Manhattan, and was immediately ‘invited’.
............................
Su Ming raised his head, many planets in the distance are slowly spinning, but the light in the universe is not warm. At his feet is a golden-blue house, like a palace, the architectural style is full of mathematics beauty, every angle and **** are carefully calculated, as if from the future.
He is suspended in mid-air, but he can breathe freely while he is obviously in space. All this comes from the people in front of him.
A naked man with blue skin and a height of more than ten meters.
He is Doctor Manhattan, a thoroughly rationalized pre-human.
Su Ming was prepared long ago. He is not afraid of Dr. Manhattan. His own brain is now protected by metal. That is the origin of the DC Universe. Dr. Manhattan is not enough to penetrate it to read his own thoughts.
The most important thing is that Manhattan is arguably the most rational existence, just like a supercomputer. As long as what you say is reasonable, it is absolutely safe.
Su Ming gently opened the pin on the back of the badge and pinned the smiley face badge to the lock armor on his chest.
He did want to take revenge on Manhattan, for what happened to Slade, but it was just an idea, and no one knew.
"The outsider."
A standard American accent rang in his ears, and Dr. Manhattan’s pale, star-like gaze fell on Su Ming.
Like Su Ming, he was slowly floating in the air, sitting cross-legged, expressionless, he was the ‘person’ in the DC universe who would not laugh.
"Doctor."
"You know me, it means that your source may be a higher dimension, but you have changed the course of history, and the future has become a cloud of fog."
Su Ming smiled indifferently, the butterfly effect of the traverser is inevitable: "This is not a bad thing. No one wants a completely certain future."
"..." Dr. Manhattan fell into a brief silence, but less than a second, he slowly nodded: "Your conclusion is partially correct. I checked the thinking of 50 billion humans and alien life in the universe. There is no need for a definite future. Although some people like fortune-telling and so on to glimpse the knowledge of the future, the idea is actually a panic about the future."
"Then can you send me back to Earth? We are all right."
Su Ming played with the badge on his chest, implying that he, like the Laughing Craftsman, does not have any standpoint, and is a person born only for himself and his mission.
"No, you can't stay in this world. The world caster, the watcher and the counter watcher are all dead. I must try my best to fix it." Dr. Manhattan said calmly, as if Su Ming broke a vase, and He is a good-tempered master: "Before that, you must leave. You don't belong here. This is also true."
Why did the watcher die? What's up?
If the DC world is a boiler, then these three guys are the people who are responsible for maintenance, coal filling and garbage disposal. Without them, it would be fine if there is no problem, but if there is a problem, no one will fix it.
"Isn't change a good thing?"
Su Ming bit his head and said, "I don't want to leave. If I leave, when will I get the reward for the task?" He hasn't experienced the pleasure of spending money like earth.
Slade's memory has it, but Su Ming hasn't enjoyed it!
Memory is a very thin thing. Regarding things like spending money in the past, Slade didn't care very much. He wasn't all about money as a mercenary, but more to satisfy bloodthirsty desires.
So the memory is more like ‘Luthor’s money arrived on XX day. On XX day, I took my daughter to the sailing hotel to eat seafood, which was not bad. ’Such a memory.
Su Ming wants to experience the process of getting the conclusion of ‘good’...
"Some people think that time is linear, some people think that time is a tree or a big net, but you still can't see the true nature of time, and change is not always good."
The blue man added something to him, but Su Ming was a little hard to understand.
was called by Dr. Manhattan, he knew it was inevitable, and it was later than expected.
"Well, you can send me away, but can Batman pay the money owed to me first?" Su Ming spread his hands and said very calmly, "It is natural and righteous to pay the debt, that is my income from labor. , At least let me have a look?"
"Currency, a means of payment by human beings, used to exchange materials." Dr. Manhattan remained expressionless: "But currency cannot even circulate in different countries, so you will not be able to use it if you are leaving. I can give you something that can be used in any universe. Things that enable you to sustain your life."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and Su Ming's hand sank, and a bag appeared instantly.
When I opened it, there were a few beautifully colored stones, both red and green, emitting beautiful brilliance from the mouth of the bag.
"Gems?"
"Energy, only energy is the most universal value." Dr. Manhattan immediately explained that he did not have the concept of ‘concealment’.
Su Ming sighed secretly in his heart, no matter what, just bear it for a while, wait until he is ready later, and see how he tunes this exhibitionist.
"Anyway, if you want to send me away, I can decide my whereabouts?" Su Ming pushed the boat along the water, he did have a place to go.
"Reasonable."
"That's good, there is a hole in the wall of origin, can you throw me outside that hole?"
Su Ming didn't know whether his guess was correct. No one knew where the world outside the Wall of Origin was.
But in the past, when he and his colleagues in the real world were talking nonsense, everyone said that there were other universes outside, such as Detective Conan and Pokemon.
Su Ming has a different view on this. Even in other worlds, the one that is close should be Meiman, right?
Of course, it is also possible that nothing outside ~www.NovelMTL.com~ is the origin itself, then Su Ming will become space junk floating in an unknown area.
And now is the time to verify his conjecture. He is willing to take a bet. After all, the probability of such unclear things is always half and half.
He has X metal in his body, and he has a connection with the DC world, so he can always get back.
Dr. Manhattan’s original intention should be to imprison him in that period of time, or to send him to a special plane, such as the Spiritual Prison or the Plane of Speed, but Su Ming does not intend to listen to his arrangements, he has his own plan .
Dr. finally fell into the longest thought since the meeting, the strange substance outside the wall could not even be understood by him.
His quantum will also be absorbed by the Wall of Origin.
After the wall of origin broke this time, he also wanted to separate some quanta to probe outside the wall, even lengthening the time infinitely, and exploring the wall for hundreds of thousands of years.
But there is always a great force hindering him, making him forget this idea naturally, something is stopping him.
He could feel it, but he couldn't describe it and couldn't resist.
Everything outside the wall is still unknown, and the person in front of him is also unknown.
There is no clue, maybe it is a good decision to let the unknown belong to the unknown.
He has no emotions and his way of thinking is different from ordinary people. After various calculations, he approved this way of handling.
Since Su Ming is willing to leave, it means that he can negotiate. If Rorschach had this level of compromise in the first place, he would not kill him.
But it makes no sense to assume or deny the past, so it is ignored.
Manhattan raised a finger and replaced words with actions.
A blue light flashed, and Su Ming disappeared again.
