Chapter 118: Turning Point (Part II)
Underwater in Greenland, in the base camp made by the clown, the dialogue between Curvin and Li Jie continues. Because the knightly power of the two has been recorded by the will of the universe and given to the Joker. Offset by the same knightly strength, Ke Wen and Li Jie have also become two ordinary people, even if their physical fitness reaches a level that ordinary people can't reach, they can't stay awake all the time, and the conversation between the two is basically one paragraph and a paragraph of dizziness.
Even so, Li Jie also understood the cause and effect from Ke Wen, why he was able to get the so-called Kamen Rider power, why there were so many weirdo attacks all of a sudden, related to him, irrelevant to him, and the next development of things.
"So, it's because you chose to move forward and try to interfere with the entire multiverse to restart at some point in the future, that the will of the multiverse began to sanction you, that caused all of this to happen, right?"
"Well, I think you've noticed that this guy named the Joker has the power of me and you. I didn't expect this to be something I didn't expect, I thought that the Will of the Universe would create an enemy from scratch that corresponds to the concept of Kamen Rider, but I didn't expect that the Will of the Universe would give this power directly to the Joker. ”
"But... How is this possible. Li Jie still couldn't accept Ke Wen's statement, but when he recalled that when he fought with the clown clone before, the clown did transform into a ride in front of him.
"It can be done, to take the simplest example, Gotham, Batman. You and I both know what Gotham was like before Batman, the underworld colluded with the powerful, the judicial system collapsed, and after the appearance of Batman, the order of Gotham was stabilized. At the same time, all kinds of madmen, riddlers, two-faces, penguins, poison ivy, clowns... These guys who didn't appear in Gotham in the past are also stirring up trouble in Gotham with the birth of Batman.
Of course, it can't be said that all this was caused by Batman, it can only be said that Batman served as an introduction, allowing these people to have a reasonable outlet and declare their existence. The same is true of us, before me, there was no such thing as Kamen Rider in the world, and although there were many people like me who wore armor and did some good deeds, they didn't give themselves the title of Kamen Rider until I appeared with this title and intervened in many events and played a significant role.
All of this will be recorded by the will of the universe and spread out, and you, the chosen one, will become the next Kamen Rider. But again, as I said earlier, this became the introduction, and as I changed and intervened more and more, the will of the universe began to give birth to the opposite of the concept of Kamen Rider, the weirdo, and put this power on the Joker, an enemy that was extremely difficult for us to fight. ”
Speaking of which, Ke Wen also told Li Jie everything except for himself as a traverser, and said everything he could say. Obviously, receiving so much information at one time made Li Jie a little difficult to digest. Whether it was the strength he gained from himself, or all that he experienced afterwards, he couldn't stand it. As a young man in his 20s, who doesn't feel that he is the legendary pride of heaven when he gains superpowers.
As a result, everything now shows that you just happened to be chosen, and you didn't have much difference from others, just a little luckier.
"Oh, it's really exciting, I thought that everything I got was destined to do something big, but I didn't expect it to be so. But I also want to ask you, is it worth it, is it all worth it? ”
"Huh?"
For a while, Ke Wen didn't understand what Li Jie meant.
"From the moment you choose to intervene and try to break the deadlock of this cycle, how many innocent people have lost their lives because you chose to do so. But why can't you keep the status quo, anyway, you have a reputation and power, why don't you watch a lot of things. Maybe in this case, I won't become a so-called Kamen Rider, but at least, no innocent people will die because of me. ”
Speaking of which, Li Jie also thought of the weirdos who were killed by him, those weirdos who were supposed to live a normal life, but in the end they were controlled by negative emotions because of their own strength, and they fell into depravity, he couldn't change them back to their original state, they could only let them die as victims instead of abusers, such a death was too unfair to them.
"Indeed, there is nothing wrong with your thoughts, nothing should have happened. But I don't like that, you know what it means to keep repeating the cycle. It means that we are like a product of living under the ideas of the author, the editor, they feel that they can't go on, just take the whole big event, and then sacrifice the Flash to restart the universe, everything starts from scratch, we go back to the beginning, and continue to live like this, and then restart.
Don't you think that we living in such an environment are too miserable, we will never be able to move forward, and we will always be trapped in such a cycle, repeatedly. This kind of practice is the greatest disrespect for life, human life is only once, and it should not be trapped in a cycle and repeated. Also, you think that because of what I did, I don't deny that so many innocent people died.
You can think of cause and effect, even if I don't, Joker, this bastard, and those visitors from the world before you, will kill innocent people. That's also the casualties caused by our failure to stop the other party, and it's also attributed to us, so it's okay to take the blame, but I'll carry these and move forward and change all this, otherwise, that's the biggest disrespect of the dead. As for you, you can also choose again. ”
"What do you mean?"
Ke Wen's words stunned Li Jie, who was already out of balance at this time. A series of things,I really want him to start to dislike the identity of Kamen Rider he carries.,And if the so-called re-choice can erase all this, he's willing to pay whatever the price.。
"As you can see, now we are in bondage, blessed by the will of the universe on the Joker, the power that belongs to us. And it is constantly eroding our power, sealing it, you can let the clown erode like this, and then seal your share of knightly power and completely become a part of the clown. And I will reset all your memories after you have gained the power of knighthood after you are sealed, and give you a normal life.
Then you can go with the flow, regardless of whether I succeed or fail in the end, because it's none of your business. But you also remember that only this time, because when you desire the power of knights again, as you who were once chosen by the will of the universe, you will also become Kamen Rider again, and at that time, I hope you don't regret the choices you made, regret will not solve anything. ”
"What about you, aren't you going to choose again?"
"Me? I've already made a choice, so I think it's good that at least the universe doesn't have to be overturned and restarted because of the author, the editor can't write it, and then it can't be overturned. ”
"But you can't do anything here, you're a prisoner like me."
"That's not what I said, friend. I can't do much here, but likewise, the clown can't do anything. The restraints he has placed on you and me are one with our power, and at the same time they bind us and at the same time they bind him. At least now in my senses, the whole world has settled down temporarily, and there are no strange incidents, of course, this is only temporary, but you must know that this universe is not only us struggling, those who understand the mechanism of the universe are also working hard to break this cage.
I've done everything I could, and I'll leave the rest to the others, and I'm sure they won't let me down, so the choice is yours. You just have to figure it out for yourself, as for me, I have to sleep, and talking to you so much is really draining. ”
After speaking, Ke Wen no longer talked to Li Jie, and while trying his best to consume the clown's power, he also whispered in his heart: I'll leave it to you next, if these weirdos are born from the cosmic will based on the setting of the same origin as friend and foe, then the back hand I left behind should also have a little reaction. Ke Wen, who was thinking like this, also fell into a deep sleep, leaving Li Jie alone, thinking about what Ke Wen said, looking at the cage designed for them, silent.
On the other side, inside the Hall of Justice, after a week of torment in dreams and life, Dick and his gang also successfully abducted the remaining Titan members into the Hall of Justice.
As for Wally and Cyborg, they can't escape the fate of Tool Man No. 1 and No. 2, as a ruthless shared power bank and player, silently dedicating themselves there.
"Ahh!!hh My eyes!! Going to die, going to die! Let me out! ”
"Dick Grayson, you're not human! Brother, you're all pitted! You wait! When I get out, I'll ... Please, brother, let me out, I really can't stand it..."
In the conference room blocked by the gate, the first batch of Titan members who were pitted into the trap without knowing the truth were greeting Dick cordially through the door, and outside the door, Jonathan Jr., Damian and other Titan members were the next batch of Titan members, and the new generation was listening to all kinds of cordial greetings inside the door, and the two trembled, at a loss. It's not that they don't want to leave, it's just that from the moment they entered the Hall of Justice, Lena's side started the closing procedure.
Xu is not allowed to go out, plus Kara, Martian Girl, and Kong Kenan are guarded by the three major forces, and the little Jonathan and his party, who have not yet grown up, have no room for resistance at all. As for the group of Titans who were able to resist, they were already suffering inside. With Dick's understanding of these people, as long as they have experienced it, they will also stand on the same side as themselves after they come out, in order to promote harmony within the Titans, let this group of Titan members go in and learn about it.
As long as everyone has a black history, it means that everyone has no black history, and Dick thinks his friends in it understand. So he also calmly dealt with the cordial greetings they gave him.
"Well, it looks like they're still very energetic~"
"Absolutely not!"
Little Jonathan and Damian were also standing in the united front at this time, and complained in unison, but in front of Carla, who was in charge of watching them, they could only do it to this extent. Nothing can be done except complain and wait. Ignoring the complaints of Damian and the others, and giving Kara a look, Dick went to the other side, the main control room of the Hall of Justice, and after pit the group of Titan members who had already entered, they finally made time to search for Kewen's other backhand.
The two alien insects born in the DC universe that were released by Kewen before.
"How's it going, Lena, how did you crack it?"
"Well, to be precise, it's not cracked, Ke Wen didn't set any password here, unlike that perverted dream record of the person in the mirror, I feel like vomiting when I think about it now. It's just that the record on his side makes me a little unintelligible, forget it, you can see it yourself, I went to admire the appearance of the group of people inside. ”
"Hey, you're so nasty."
"Ha, Cowen once said, build your own happiness on the pain of others, so that you can reap two parts of happiness. I've been tortured for so long before, and if I don't get it back with interest, then I'm not dying? ”
"Okay, okay, you go, I'll take a look at this record."
With Lena gone, Dick sat down in his chair and clicked directly on the computer file, the document called the Worm Observation Log. As soon as I turned it on, I heard Kewen's voiceover.
"Yo, looks like you've noticed my backhand. Well, it's not actually a hindsight, it's an observation. If everything is as I think, then these weirdos born from my power will definitely change. Before I do that, I'll tell you about this creature called the Alien Worm. They are peculiar creatures capable of perfectly replicating all the memories, habits, and even wills of the copied person, and then killing the copied person, but this perfect reproduction can also be said to be an imperfection.
Because the copied person has a strong enough obsession and will before death, then when the alien worm is copied, it will copy this obsession and this will in the past, which will lead to a situation that they will lose themselves and completely become the copied person, until at a certain stage, the self returns and causes their own schizophrenia, and now, what you can see is the observation record of the two-headed alien worm I named Red and Blue who have integrated into human society after being blocked by me with the ability to accelerate the flow of time. ”
After finishing speaking, a line of words appeared on the display, Insect Observation Log: Week 1, Location, Osaka, Observation Target, Red, Blue.
After listening to Cowen's voiceover, Dick raised an eyebrow, apparently, he seemed to understand what Cowen was going to do by letting the two insects go. While being amazed by the insect's ability to replicate perfectly, his irrepressible curiosity also led him to follow the perspective of the canned robot released by Kewen earlier to learn about the human social journey of the two insects named Red and Blue.
PS: There's only one shift today, sorry.
