Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Number One Horseman

Depp continued to introduce Jonathan, saying: "This is Professor Jonathan of Gotham University, majoring in psychology, and also has a deep knowledge in chemistry, you can talk about it on the phone." ”

"Hello Professor Jonathan, thank you for your willingness to help." Quentin said: "The main direction of my research is virtual reality, which can really be realistic, not the flat technology in the movies. Now it's great, but it doesn't really get people emotional... I don't know what exactly it's missing. ”

Jonathan pinched his chin and thought about it, and said, "I think you can start with people's most primitive emotions and try to see if you can perfectly mobilize people's single emotions first." ”

"The most primitive human emotion?" Quentin was a little confused.

"Yes, there are four emotions: joy, anger, sorrow, and fear." Jonathan said: "Personally, I recommend that you start with fear and see if you can use your own fantasies to evoke people's deepest fears. ”

The more Depp listened, the more wrong he felt, why did these two people lead up the crooked path when they chatted?

Depp immediately stopped: "My phone is almost out of battery, let's talk another day, goodbye Quentin." ”

"Uhhh All right. Goodbye Mr. Depp, goodbye Professor Jonathan. ”

Quentin Baker, who had turned off the video, stood still and whispered, "Fear? Maybe it's an interesting research direction. ”

"Two-way science popularization is successful, get a fragment of the Mirror of Introduction, and randomly select two special abilities."

"Get Jonathan Klein's first version of how to make Dread Gas, and get knowledge of Quentin Baker's hologram system."

"Get a bottle of Life Concentrate Serum."

As the reward poured into his brain, Depp refreshed, indicating that knowledge is power!

As for the Life Concentrate Serum, it is a highly concentrated life essence that can be used to quickly restore vitality and mental power.

However, it is not possible to reforge the severed limb and bring the dead back to life.

After that, Selena took Depp to meet many guests, including those future supercriminals from the past, and many dignitaries who would hemorrhage today.

Depp himself is very handsome, and the single-frame profile mirror adds a bit of wisdom to him, coupled with the humor and humor brought from his previous life, he left a good impression on these guys.

Although he is reluctant to have too much friendship with these supercriminals, Depp feels that it is not impossible to have a little connection.

After all, you may also need the help of these tool people to activate the system and gain capabilities.

Selena's behavior also caused a lot of discussion in the venue, and they speculated that Depp might be Selena's lover.

After a while, Selena began to host tonight's charity gala in the center of the venue.

Between dances, acrobatics and magic shows, valuable collections are auctioned off, with all proceeds going to the Gotham Charities Federation and the Gotham Small Animal Relief Society.

The most generous of these was Bruce, who took almost half of the lot with a stocking girl named Dana Lans in his arms.

Depp had little interest in the show and the auction, so he sat for a while and then got up and left, wandering around the villa.

The reason why he didn't leave was because Selena had just told him that he had something to say when the party was over.

Walking boredly, Depp heard a strange "rustle" sound coming from a room.

He pressed his ear to the door and found that in addition to the rustling of rubbing, there was also the sound of a boy talking to himself.

"Damn, the scales are growing faster and faster!"

"Gotta scrape the scales off, but it hurts..."

"But I can't help it, I can't let people find out I'm an outlier, I don't want to be played like a monkey in the circus."

Depp grabbed the doorknob and found that it could be turned so easily that the little fool forgot to close the door.

With the sound of the door opening "click", a boy in the room dressed as a waiter looked back in horror.

Although the boy's appearance and voice are very immature, his body is not weak, and Depp visually estimates that the child is now at least 190 centimeters.

And on his neck and exposed wrists, covered with green scales ... It's like a crocodile.

Looking at the name on the boy's head...[Wellen Jones], Depp immediately knew that this was the supervillain who would be called the killer crocodile in the future.

Wellen Jones has suffered from an atavistic disease since he was a child, with scales growing on his body, which gets worse as he ages.

Wellen eventually turned into a half-human, half-crocodile monster covered in green, with sharp teeth, more than two meters tall, and weighing more than three hundred kilograms.

But... It's still a youth version.

Not surprisingly, in the future he will give up scraping off the scales from his body every day, because it is too painful.

And he will bite off the arm of the circus owner who insults him and deducts his wages, and thus really goes down the path of crime.

Truth be told, Depp is a bit of a meltdown right now.

Maybe only Gotham can make a person meet eight or nine superheroes and supervillains in one night, sitting together, talking and laughing, and slipping through the water, which is the youth version.

Wei Lun said in horror at this time: "Sir, don't be afraid. I... I'm just scraping the scales, and the scales are rubbing on my hands. ”

As he spoke, Wei Lun pinched the scales on his arm and pulled them off vigorously.

"Look, sir... It's just fish scales, not mine...", as he spoke, Wei Lun pulled out another scale, and there was even a trace of blood on the end.

Depp, who watched this scene, gasped, and the temperature in the room seemed to have risen a little.

"Kid, don't pull it out... It hurts when I look at it. Depp stopped.

As soon as Wellen heard this, he knew that Depp didn't believe his clumsy lie at all, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

He thought sadly that it was best for him to sneak away for a while, so as not to be seen as a monster.

Looking at the poor guy, Depp said, "Since you are so afraid that your difference will be discovered, why don't you come to work in my store?" ”

"In your shop?" Wellen said, "After knowing that I am an anomaly, are you really willing to hire a guy like me?" ”

Depp nodded and closed the door with his hand: "Of course, as long as you work hard enough." ”

"I've been working very, very, very hard!" Wei Lun said three times in a row to express his level of effort, and then asked, "Can you ask why you would like to hire someone like me?" ”

Depp spread out his palms, and the dazzling thunder and lightning danced like a silver snake in his hands.

"Because... We're the same. ”

Looking at the crackling and surging thunder and lightning in Depp's hands, Wei Lun was so surprised that his mouth opened into an O-shape.

He said enviously, "That's pretty cool. ”
