Chapter 144: The Intersection of Superpowers and Machinery
"Mood, the side effect of this medicine is actually to affect people's mood." Stephen came up with a corollary that neither Banner nor Connors had thought of.
"I carefully looked at the formula and the data of the subjects, and I found that the mixture of hormones contained in the drug can cause mood changes, making the subjects prone to anger and violence, and even hallucinating, just like ......" Stephen couldn't think of any adjectives for a while.
Banner said, "It's like injecting thousands of milliliters of Hinnoine into your head." ”
"Yes, it's a situation like this, you describe it so aptly!" Stephen said excitedly.
Banner smiled wryly, and his personal experience was naturally quite aptly described. Although Stephen was only making a deduction, it gave Banner a sense of enlightenment.
He had always thought that his emotional changes had caused his body to mutate, but he never thought that after receiving the energy of gamma rays, his emotions had also been affected.
Now that I think about it, it's really very different from before. At the very least, even when his emotions are calm, Banner's heart beats faster than normal, and it is more difficult for him to control his extreme emotions than others.
For this reason, he had to specialize in learning meditation, yoga and other methods to regulate his body and mind. But even so, anger can build up.
Trying to evade General Ross, Banner went into hiding in Brazil. Even if nothing happens, it will still feel more and more difficult to suppress this restlessness.
If it is said that it was the original mutation that made him angry all the time, and what he really suppressed was not his own anger, but only the energy of gamma rays.
If Stephen hadn't come up with this theory, Banner would have waited until the Zetarians invaded to comprehend it, and then utter the classic line: "I've been angry!" ”
Unfortunately, even after knowing the situation, Banner still couldn't think of a solution. Even if he put a lot of effort into learning skills such as meditation, it was still only a symptom of the problem.
However, this is just my speculation, and I don't know if my hands are shaking because of my emotions. And this sentiment, we simply cannot quantify and detect. I've done a lot of tests on myself, and slight mood swings are hard to measure from time to time with endocrine changes. As a result, even if we wanted to establish a benchmark to test the treatment, we simply wouldn't be able to do it. Stephen said dejectedly.
Banner was also silent, and he understood the feeling of powerlessness. People's emotions are inherently in a state of constant change, and the average person is not too affected by such slight mood fluctuations. However, the effect of the potion seems to amplify the effect of this mood swing on the body, which causes this result.
"If it's an emotional problem, I might be able to help." Rorschach, who had been listening from the sidelines, suddenly spoke.
"Do you have a way?" Stephen asked excitedly.
"I can see people's emotions change." Rorschach said.
"See? You're not going to tell me you're a psychologist, are you? What we need is not a psychological assessment, but a precise enough to allow for mood swings, and even the recording of brain waves is not accurate enough. Stephen explained to Rorschach.
"No, I have a better way." Rorschach searched the lab and pulled out a few pairs of tactical eyepieces. The digital vision of the tactical eyepiece is very helpful for experiments, so both Banner and Connors always have a few pairs in the laboratory.
"I'm not nearsighted." Stephen said inexplicably.
"With these glasses, I can make you see the change in your mood too." Rorschach said.
Stephen puts the letter on the tactical eyepiece, Rorschach unleashes his superpowers, and Stephen sees a colorful world.
Perhaps before, Rorschach could not feel slight mood swings through telepathic ability, and only saw the change in the color of his face when the other party's mental activity was strong.
But now, with the help of the Tinder Source equipment, Rorschach's sensing ability has been greatly improved, and as long as he is focused enough, he can peer into the depths of other people's hearts.
It's just that this is a scene seen by Rorschachze's naked eyes, not the ability of a tactical eyepiece. It's just that Rorschach, as the master of all Tinder source equipment, can directly pass on what he sees.
Rorschach itself is like a meeting point, connecting physical superpowers with mechanical creations.
Stephen saw his face in the tactical eyepiece, as if he were looking in a mirror. It's just that his face seems to have some red and yellow light and shadow, which looks like the Meitu filter is not working well.
"What is this, how can I have this color on my face?" Stephen asked.
"That's your emotion, and I've just found out that you're really in a state of anger and jealousy. Red for anger, yellow for jealousy or hatred, you are now a mixture of both emotions, and they are constantly changing. ”
Rorschach explained, and then glanced at Banner again, and the super genius's face had a dark red glow, and he was obviously in anger at all times.
As for Dr. Connors, he also has a tone of anger, but much less than Banner and Stephen. It seems that the effect of this healing medicine on people's emotions also varies from person to person, and not everyone has the same effect.
"Are you sure these colors are emotional?" Stephen said with some skepticism.
"So much nonsense, believe it or not, don't believe it, go back and don't **." Rorschach replied quickly.
Stephen's brows furrowed when he heard this, even though he could no longer be a doctor now, he had never heard such faceless words.
But Rorschach then said, "You see, if you are angry, it is more popular." ”
Stephen realized that Rorschach was deliberately provoking himself. The tactical eyepiece replayed the change in Stephen's expression just now, and sure enough, he saw that the red on his face had deepened significantly.
"This ...... It's amazing.,What kind of technology is this.,Micro-expression reading? Stephen said in surprise.
"I can't explain how it works, but you know I can read your true emotions. But even if emotions can be observed, how are you going to solve this problem? ”
"I recommend using medication first to control your mood. There are many drugs that can help people calm their emotions, and even force anesthesia and hypnosis to see if they can suppress or eliminate this uncontrollable anger. Stephen said expectantly.
"Then try it, I also hope to be able to completely eliminate the side effects of this potion." Rorschach also looked forward to Banner being able to transform at will in the future and no longer be affected by emotions.
A super genius with seven PhDs, coupled with Hulk's physique, the power is definitely not as simple as one plus one.
However, Rorschach did not pin all his hopes on Stephen's speculation. Belcher had left Tindersource by this time, planning to visit Jonathan Pembourne, who had been miraculously cured from paralysis, and there might be another way.
While Rorschach was working on improving the cure, someone in another part of New York seemed to have made a breakthrough faster than them.
