[Comprehensive Yingmei] Really nothing happened

Batman's expression is very deep - although he has always had this bitter and bitter look.

It's a bit difficult to deal with mutants.

No, the difficult thing is not the matter itself, but... er, if other people in the political circle know about it, what kind of articles will they make of it.

The issue of mutants is too sensitive. For people with sufficient political cells, this incident is enough to cause them to set off a storm in Gotham.

And... he can still trust Professor X's character.His ability to allow this student to come to Gotham proved his confidence in her character.

Thinking of this, Batman raised his hand and pressed on the keyboard.

The screen went dark quickly block by block.

……

On the other hand, Yermungandr didn't know that he had escaped a catastrophe... No, he let other people in Gotham survive.

When standing at the entrance of the rooftop, for some reason, her mood became...inexplicably not very good.

It's hard to put into words the feeling.Yermungand felt that it might be related to inhaling the poisonous fear gas.

It's not that she hasn't read related reports, but this time... Maybe it's her intuition, she feels different from before.

...Although strictly speaking, there is no "past" at all.

Her body seemed to be a little hot.Maybe it's because of excitement.Yemengard didn't think too much about it.

Yemengard didn't realize that his behavior was a little too impulsive.

Which super-criminal is the idler?How could a college student subdue him?

But the premise is - this person is not Jormungandr.

……

In Wayne Manor, Zatanna circled Bruce a few times, and his expression didn't look right.

"See what's going on, Zatanna?" Bruce asked.

After the matter came to an end, Bruce gave himself a physical examination.

Turns out everything works fine.There is no problem.

But—how could there be no problems?

The indescribable feeling of dizziness haunted him after seeing the scarecrow.

He thought of the poisonous gas thrown by the scarecrow laughing wildly.

After waking up, he did not forget to collect part of the poisonous gas, so he opened the experimental equipment and began to analyze the composition of the new poisonous gas.

The result is similar to the previous case.

Batman has also done a lot of research on this (uh... healed after a long illness?) Theoretically speaking, the effect of the new poison gas will be better than the previous one, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve the current effect.

Then he remembered the few words the Scarecrow had uttered when he was out of his mind.

Words such as "deal (transaction)" and "cost (price)" all reveal a message: the poisonous gas this time is not the result of the scarecrow alone.

At that time, Batman didn't have much energy to pay attention to, but now... Listening to the news from the police station, the Scarecrow is still dizzy, and it seems that he can't get much reliable information.

The scarecrow became what it is now, which is obviously related to that person (he subconsciously thought that Jormungandr was just a mutant with individual ability enhancement, so he ruled her out first), and those unscientific places... probably also have something to do with This person has connections.

Batman is not ignorant of the existence of magic in this world.He rejects magic, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand magic.

But Batman always has a way, if it can't be explained by science, then it can be explained by unscientific.

That's why he asked Zatanna for help.

He knows a few experts on the magic side (Konstantin: Ahh!), but he can rest assured that the only one he can call Zatanna is his baby.

"...The situation is a little... hard to explain," Zatanna said a moment later.

"Really? Tell me in detail." Bruce frowned.

Zatanna thought for a while: "Those poisonous gases... are there any left? I want to take a look."

Bruce nodded and led her into the Batcave.

……

Zatanna cast a few detection spells on each of the two stored samples. Seeing the flashes of different colors, her expression became more and more strange.

"What's wrong, Zatanna?" Bruce asked again.

"What is certain is that this poisonous gas contains a certain curse, which will trigger negative emotions deep in the inhaler's heart." Zatanna pointed to the first one and said.

"Then, it must be that the Scarecrow used other ingredients in the poison gas to strengthen the ability of this curse to cause 'fear'... But because it needs to be released on a large area, has the power of the curse also been weakened?" Bruce pondered, "Can it be so It is easy to be weakened, it seems that this curse itself did not spend a lot of thought on the provider... What about the other one?" When he said the last four words, his eyes suddenly became cold.

"Another... is equivalent to an enhanced version of this curse, but... it seems that there is more than one curse in it." When he said "but", his tone became a little hesitant.

"'As if'?" Bruce asked.

"That kind of thing... does play the role of a curse, but it doesn't look like a curse in itself, and the amount is very small, but it greatly strengthens the effect of the poisonous gas."

"You're not sure what that is?" Bruce heard the question.

"Yes, I have never seen the existence of such a thing." Zatanna affirmed, "It is not a curse, nor is it magic. I can learn about its existence and effect, but I cannot ascertain its essence... What is it? ..." She frowned slightly, as if she was lost in thought.

……

After seeing off Zatanna, Bruce sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

According to Zatanna, a small amount of unknown substance in the second fear gas—let’s call it Unknown Component A for now—acted as a catalyst, which gave his spirit an unprecedented strong stimulation.

Judging from the scarecrow's delirious appearance after he woke up, it is very likely that this thing was not originally there, but was contaminated somewhere.

Through Zatanna, Bruce also has a certain understanding of the style of these magicians.

Magic is not something that can be seen at a glance like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They would never take it out so rashly to see the effect of something like unknown ingredient A.

Then, next, it is necessary to find out where he got this unknown ingredient A.

The scarecrow's range of activities is limited to Gotham City, so...

Bruce Batman·Ten Thousand Years True Love is Gotham Wayne looked at the map and thought seriously.

……

On the other side, Ye Mengjiad had a dream like never before.

Her sleep... should be considered very good, Yemengjia didn't know how to evaluate it, anyway, she always fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow until the next morning.

——She has never had a dream, and all her concepts about dreams come from other people's mouths or some written materials.

But today is completely different.

After closing her eyes, she clearly understood that her body had entered a sleep state, but her consciousness did not disappear with it, but left her body and came to the boundless spiritual space.

... No, you can't say that either.Her spirit is not so free, an invisible force pulls her, it seems that she cannot leave a certain point too far.

How far is it?

Maybe...a world away.Yemengard thought so.

She floated towards the invisible force, wanting to see what the source was.

Soon (or possibly slowly), she arrives at a large island covered in snow and ice.

Jormungandr's geography is quite good, and she always feels that this island looks familiar.After a while, she suddenly realized: Judging from the climate and terrain, it is [-]% likely to be Greenland.

Less than [-]% is because she has not been there in person, leaving some possibilities.

As for whether this is the earth?This is still certain.

Soon, she drifted to the edge of a rift.That power lies dormant below.

But she is not alone(?) here.There are several tents set up on the edge of the rift, and people come and go from time to time.

These people all wore uniforms of the same style.Yermungard took a closer look and found that their uniforms were all printed with a pattern consisting of gears, rings and three centripetal arrows.

Yemengard found this pattern very, very familiar.But she can also be sure that she has never seen this pattern before.

...Could it be that this has something to do with her lost memory?Yemengard had a guess.

"It's been so long, why hasn't the equipment for making liquid nitrogen arrived yet?" A tall and strong man who looked about 40 or [-] years old said so, with a displeased expression on his face.

Liquid nitrogen is usually used to cool down, but...the temperature in Greenland is already very low, where else needs to use liquid nitrogen in large quantities to keep the temperature extremely low?

A slender woman with wheat-colored skin responded, "The Ministry of Transportation just got word that their team was attacked by the Chaos Insurgency."

"Damn it, SCP-722's brain activity is becoming more and more active during this time, it's not good if it continues like this." The man's face became more and more gloomy, and he subconsciously looked towards the direction of the rift.

...It seems that the source is likely to be the SCP-722 they are talking about.

Yemengard listened for a while, went into the tent to have a look, and then floated down the rift valley.

Here is another world.

According to their tone, the SCP Foundation is a very powerful and mysterious organization, and it is normal that Yemengard has never heard of it.

But after entering the tent, Ye Mengjiad saw several documents, the date on which... was more than ten years later.

This is a bit of a problem.Besides, these people also mentioned a few famous people in their conversations. It sounds like they have been famous for many years, but they have never been heard of in modern Yemengard.

Therefore, it can only be explained by "not a world".

But okay, why did she suddenly dream of other worlds?

She can't possibly be the so-called "time traveler" in those novels.
