Dressed as a night owl, I choose to quit [DC]

The six gift boxes on the ground are arranged in the shape of a stick figure, and they are surprisingly large. Reminiscent of Alfred's question "Where were you when Richard died?", I: "..."

Sometimes falling into a box isn't just a joke that happens in games.

The suddenness of the incident was too outrageous and disgusting. Most of my shocking emotions were allocated to this man who claimed to be Dr. Manhattan. He only glanced at the packed corpse on the ground and raised his head: "What's going on?"

A metahuman with blue skin reminiscent of Avatar, who can fly but somehow doesn't wear clothes, calmly descends to the roof.Alfred asked in my headset, "Who are you talking to?"

Me: "They can't see you."

"I changed the frequency of the color light around me, because I don't want to be seen for the time being." Dr. Manhattan said, "Actually, I came to find you-I have been observing you for a while."

I turned off the communication equipment on my body, and there was no need to go around in circles under the power gap visible to the naked eye: "And I haven't even heard your name, which is a bit flattering-so let's talk about your little trick, this Is it a parallel universe?"

"No, please wait a moment, let me think about how to explain it." Dr. Manhattan gave a negative answer again. He looked at the gift box on the ground, "First of all, it is because of me that you didn't die in the explosion. Remember that A Möbius chair? You sit in it, you ask that question, the chair answers you, and I feel it."

I knew that the so-called 'omniscient' happened in real life: "Why do you feel it?"

"Good question, but it's hard to explain." Dr. Manhattan took two steps away, his eyes never leaving the gift box, as if there was something he was very concerned about, "Why don't you tell me what you want to do most now .”

I had doubts in my heart, and after a moment of consideration, I said calmly: "I would like to suggest that you wear some clothes."

It's not all perfunctory, this cannot pass the trial in the country of my previous life!

Dr. Manhattan froze for a moment, then said calmly: "I don't really care about this. If you care..."

After the words fell, a pair of black shorts appeared on his lower body.

I looked away from where the mosaic needed to be, pretty sure the pants had popped up.It seems that either he can change the frequency of color light as he said, or he has the ability to teleport or reshape objects, or both.

"You are very defensive, but I can understand." Dr. Manhattan stopped, "In that case, let me say a few more words first. Why do I know that you sat on the Mobius chair and asked it a certain question? A question related to the nature of the universe? Because going back to the source, everything you experienced in the Earth-3 universe happened after I interfered with a certain period of history in the main universe."

"Have you heard of the butterfly effect, night owl? I can travel through time at will. In July 1940, I caused a small change in the main universe. Decades later, the changes were turned upside down, and some things that should have been left in human history The hero under the name disappeared, the origin of some important characters has changed, and the changes in the main universe also affect other parallel universes, and Earth-7 is one of them.”

"Then you should understand that what changes around you is not space, but time. You are still in your Gotham, the only difference is that it is now three months ago, and the Anti-Monitor has not yet arrived. Earth-3 Not yet. Your old enemy, the Joker, killed Richard Grayson and delivered his body to you in a gift box."

I understood.

Regarding time travel, there is a famous grandmother paradox, that is, if you go back in time and kill your grandmother, your father will not exist, and then you will not exist, so the grandmother will not die because of you.Quantum physics uses the theory of world lines to explain this problem, which means that every random event will cause branches of history and form parallel universes.

But the existence of Dr. Manhattan is obviously neither scientific nor reasonable.He is equivalent to a game player who has turned on the console mode, and can freely smear the past that has happened as words written by a pencil. In 1940, he rewrote the origin of superheroes; now, he dialed the world line of Earth-3, and let me see the changed Gotham three months ago.

I was silent for a long time, and felt that the doctor's cheating was a bit too big.

It seems that ever since we met Metron, it was like turning on some switch, and the abilities of the opponents we encountered became more and more exaggerated.Listening to Dr. Manhattan, he has been staying in the main universe before-does the Justice League deal with this level of crisis every day?

It seems that the Syndicate is busy with the small things of a single universe every day, and its vision is still not long enough.

My mind pulls back from analyzing the sudden turn of events and realizes with a throbbing pain in my forehead that my ashes should be scattered with the cosmic dust at this point, rather than trying to figure out a way to get me a Nobel Prize. Prize for Quantum Mechanics Problems.

What does everything Dr. Manhattan says matter to me?

I was tempted to politely ask him to stop the pleasantries and lectures and send me straight back to the moment of the explosion.

But no.

I use my whole life to prove that living is a process of letting reality push you forward.

So I asked him, "Why did Talon die?"

He has worked so hard to let me analyze the philosophy from this tragedy that has ended?

"I said that I have been observing you for a long time." Dr. Manhattan replied very cooperatively, "This is because I should be able to see the past and the future through the trajectory of particle motion, but you destroy a universe with a quantum bomb that explodes The tachyons produced blocked my vision, so I didn't know what would happen to Earth-3 for a long time. So I became curious and decided to go back to the farther past to try to stop Wayne Enterprises from taking the lead in developing A quantum weapon."

Dr. Manhattan stretched out his hand, but there was no big movement, the scene around us changed again,

"I went a little far, just in case. This is a place you know too—Crime Lane."

"..."

I can control my body from reacting to sudden environmental changes, but it is difficult to prevent the resurgence of anger.Dr. Manhattan looked at me, he was observing me.I pressed my gasp and anger together, and said coldly, "Should I thank you for not directly killing the eight-year-old Thomas Wayne?"

"Oh? I thought you regretted that, after all, you seem to want to replace your brother as the dead one. But if you're patient, you'll find that you didn't kill Bruce Wayne yourself in this worldline .”

Dr. Manhattan spread out his palm, holding a metal bullet in his hand.

"I stopped the bullet that was fired from your gun, but Bruce was still dead - the outsider Alfred Pennyworth made a shot from the side. I did not continue to stop, please believe me, I will It was an accident at this point in time, but I'm curious to see what happens next."

"You grow up as usual, become a night owl, and join the Syndicate. This worldline, as I just said, has no quantum bombs. You still control Gotham and become a member of the Syndicate, but to seize power, you need Putting in more effort, so your relationship with Superqueen becomes more - intimate. Yet at some point..."

He looked back at me.

"How should I describe it? Maybe this time Bruce Wayne's death didn't give you the same guilt, maybe you gave up some... I don't know. Anyway, you planned to murder Richard Grayson's parents and adopted him .Superqueen eavesdropped on this secret, betrayed you at the right time, and let Claw know the truth about his parents' death. For this reason, he left Wayne Manor, but eventually died at the hands of the Joker."

After speaking, Dr. Manhattan picked up the bullet and flicked it lightly.After decades of time, blood flowed profusely again in the depths of the alley. I watched this scene expressionlessly until the surrounding pictures fell apart.The bullet came from the barrel of Thomas Wayne Jr., traveled through Dr. Manhattan's fingertips, and finally hit Bruce Wayne's heart-a destined destination.

The changed world line has returned to the original point. Dr. Manhattan said to me: "I have shown many people the sub-points of history. They either refused to admit what they did not want to accept, or were severely hit and never recovered. I feel Your anger, beyond that? Do you acknowledge the possibility of you committing such a villainous act as the murder of Richard Grayson's parents?"

……

"I do not know."

His blue shining eyes looked directly at me: "Please answer."

I feel like I'm getting closer to the answer, and there's a reason why Dr. Manhattan sat down for all of this.Leaning halfway against the brick wall of Crime Alley that hasn't changed in decades, I raised a finger covered in armor at him—not the middle one: "First of all, I'm an ordinary person, and there are many people in this world. Problems that I can’t solve, like Bruce’s death, or you. I try to deal with the ones I can, and the word ‘try my best’ means that the method must first work well.”

"Even if it violates some of your insistence? Don't deny it, Ye Xiao, I have observed that you are very—"

"I appreciate your intellectual curiosity, Doctor, but your comprehension needs to be improved." I interrupted him, "I mean, suppose one person kills another person for survival, or other interests, but if you don't The thing is, if he hadn't been through a crisis, he'd probably died helping people and doing good. Do you understand? I can't tell you who I am until the moment it happens, especially when you're about to Where 'murder' is defined as a 'bad act'."

"All I can say," I thought of the six gift boxes lying at my feet, "is that this is not impossible."

I could tell Dr. Manhattan had been thinking for a while.

He corrected: "...it's not me who defines 'murder' as 'evil,' but you."

The author has something to say:

Explain some settings for readers who haven't read the original:

Q: Why did the Mobius chair give Ye Xiao a negative answer?

A: Because I combined manga and animation when I wrote the article (.) This chapter refers to the manga plot.

Q: Who is Doctor Manhattan?

A: From the comic "The Watcher", it is enough to know that he is very strong and invincible.

Q: What is Watchmen?

A: The "Watchmen" comics are published by DC Corporation. The 12 chapters of the main story have been completed, and a movie was released in 09.Part of the plot is that one of the protagonists during the war, the "Pharaoh", triggered a nuclear explosion to kill millions of people in order to usher in world peace, in exchange for the attitude of countries to stop the war.Dr. Manhattan helped him achieve the plan and killed another protagonist 'Rorschach' who opposed the plan, and left this world to go to the DC main universe after the matter was over.

Q: What does "Watchmen" have to do with this article?

A: In the big event "Doomsday Alarm" of DC's rebirth, it was revealed that Dr. Manhattan changed the history of the main universe in 1940, which indirectly led to the restart of Flashpoint Universe and New 52.In the comics, Mr. Xiao was finally killed by Dr. Manhattan, because he knew the truth about the restart of the universe in the Mobius chair.

In other words, the Night Owl in the New 52 comics died at the hands of Dr. Manhattan.Doctor Manhattan also saved the old Thomas Wayne (Bruce's father) who became Batman in the flashpoint universe, but this has nothing to do with this article, just to show that this character has appeared a lot in comics and has a profound impact on the plot. It's not that I'm messing around.

But the plot of this article is completely different from the comics, and basically different from the animation. If you read the comics, you can probably understand Dr. Manhattan’s motivation for coming to Mr. Xiao. It’s okay if you don’t read it. Anyway, I’ll write about it later, so don’t think too much about it. many.
