[Marvel/DC/Other] Magical Boy Li Hua

Li Hua, an adolescent human with a kind heart who met an untimely demise, much like most protagonists in system-transmigration novels, was unexpectedly recruited by the Space-Time Administration af...

"In other words, I wasn't infected by the psychopath and became a psychopath. It was just that the psychopath gave me a berserker."

After hearing the whole story, Li Hua breathed a sigh of relief, but soon had another wonderful idea.

"Hey, I have a plan!"

The core No. 666, which was familiar to Li Hua, was slowed down for 1 microsecond. If converted into a human, it would feel a "skimp" in the heart and think that something was wrong.

Batman, who was not familiar with Li Hua, asked, "What?"

"I've decided to carry a few bottles of fear gas with me from now on!"

Li Hua excitedly gestured to Batman and introduced his own brilliant ideas.

"This is a great thing! I can use it to stack my berserk buffs, use it as a weapon to sow chaos in the enemy, and use it as a deterrent. If I meet someone who's stubborn, I'll flick the syringe in front of them and say, 'This is the fear gas I personally plucked from Scarecrow. If you don't tell me, I'll give you acupuncture with this.'... Oh no, acupuncture is too inconvenient. I should just get a gas-based one and threaten to stick it in their nostrils and give them a refreshing mist if they don't tell me!"

Batman: ???

Superman: ???

Tim: ???

The three people who heard Li Hua's bold proposal for the first time were all shocked and looked at him in disbelief, as if they were meeting Li Hua for the first time.

It's like a group of ocean-going sailors, caught in a sea of ​​playful and dangerous sea monsters, finally discover a seemingly normal, peaceful new island. But after living there for a few days, they discover it's not an island at all, but a Transformer disguised as an island, one that doesn't move, but threatens to take flight!

If this explosive proposal was made by Jason or Benjamin, they would not be surprised, after all, these two people are usually very lively, but it was said by Li Hua, who usually seemed the most obedient and honest.

How on earth could Li Hua, while appearing the most obedient and honest, come up with such an explosive idea in public?

Unlike the others who were shocked, Benjamin and Jason had a different reaction.

Benjamin remained unmoved. He knew Li Hua's character well and knew that even if he really got the fear gas, he would not do anything out of line.

Jason didn't show it on his face, but inwardly he was sighing with regret. What a great idea! Why did he say it in front of the parents?

The two were already used to Li Hua's occasional surprising remarks; after all, he often did so in front of acquaintances. And most of the time, he just boasted about how brilliant his ideas were, but he wasn't too lazy to implement them.

If they had done everything Li Hua said, then when Jason took them to practice with the lower-level mafia, Blüdhaven would have been littered with corpses.

After all, Li Hua said at that time, "Although I don't want to kill anyone, in order to prevent them from causing us trouble in the future, we have no choice but to kill them all." This scared Jason, who was the only one among the three who really thought about becoming a murderous anti-hero.

"So, Batman, do you still have any fear gas?" Li Hua asked. "You don't need it anyway, so it would be a waste to throw it away. Why not give it to me and recycle it?"

"No." Batman sternly rejected Li Hua's proposal. "Fear gas is still poison gas. Even if you have No. 666 to help you calm down, your body will likely suffer irreversible effects if you use it repeatedly."

"That makes sense. Then I won't use it myself."

Li Hua was very receptive to advice. He had not yet experienced the healthy life brought by a healthy body for a long time, so he could not directly use the short-term trial card.

"Then I can give it to someone else... Oh no, the [Illusion] card is much more effective than this thing. Since it's just for the sake of scaring people, I can just add some glow-in-the-dark paint to the water and it'll be fine... What should I do? This makes the fear gas seem even more useless. So what's Scarecrow's purpose in creating this useless thing?"

Jason would answer this question: "He wants to spread fear. Scarecrow prefers to kill people psychologically rather than physically."

After hearing this answer, Li Hua couldn't help but ask from the bottom of his heart, "So you're saying that the reason Scarecrow has been doing so much over the years is because he wants to be a low-profile Cthulhu? Determined to deliver customized, unspeakable terror to everyone like a cult Santa Claus? Is he really sick?"

Batman wanted to continue to persuade Li Hua, but found that Li Hua had automatically convinced him. He could only watch the children change the subject and start chatting: "...Why do you think he was locked up in a mental hospital?"

He was really confused. He clearly remembered that when he mentioned "Arkham" in front of Li Hua before, he also said the full name of "Arkham Asylum".

Li Hua: "Didn't Jason say that some people would fake a mental illness certificate to escape the death penalty? I saw that Scarecrow could be hired to do work, so I thought that was him. After all, his profile says he used to be a psychology professor. It would be easy for him to pretend to be mentally ill."

But now it seems that Scarecrow's mental illness really doesn't seem to be acted out.

If a person does things that a mentally ill person would do for several days and says that he is mentally ill, then he may be acting in order to escape legal punishment.

But if a person has been doing things that a mental patient would do for decades, risking his life and spending decades of energy to do it, then even if he was not a mental patient originally, he is likely to be one now.

In response, Jason defended himself: "I'm talking about some people. There are still quite a few genuinely mentally ill people in Arkham Asylum, especially those who haven't been transferred to Blackgate Penitentiary. By the way, you must not try to understand the thinking of mentally ill people. The last person who did that was already a fellow patient with them."

Benjamin felt Jason's reminder was unnecessary. "Who would have nothing better to do than study the thinking logic of a mentally ill person? A psychologist?"

"Yes," Jason said, "Harley Quinn, the former psychiatric psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum, now known as 'Harley Quinn'."

After this incident, Arkham Asylum not only implemented strict control over its patients, but even the doctors began regular psychiatric examinations and psychological counseling, just to prevent the emergence of another "Harley Quinn" and make the already precarious number of special wards in Arkham Asylum even worse.

Li Hua:......

Benjamin: ...

How can they produce and sell their own mental patients? Is there something wrong with the feng shui of Arkham Asylum?

Li Hua: "Has anyone suggested the director change the name? I don't think Scarecrow is afraid of going back to Arkham. He and the other patients might even think the name is cool. Maybe they'll even think they're different from other Arkham villains. But if the name is changed to 'Barbie Dreamhouse' or 'Mickey Mouse Clubhouse', and the name of the facility is announced every time they're captured, I'll see if they can still show off."

"Even if it doesn't prevent the escape, it will at least deter some copycats. If you don't believe me, just imagine the newspaper reports of those who escaped and were sent back after changing their names. I don't think many people would be proud of it."

As Li Hua described it, everyone could not help but imagine what a wonderful scene it was:

"Killer Croc has escaped from Barbie's Dreamhouse!" "Killer Croc has been returned to Barbie's Dreamhouse!"

"The Scarecrow escaped from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!" "The Scarecrow was beaten to his knees and sent back to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!"

...The scene was so beautiful that they dared not continue to imagine it.

"Of course, considering the potential for lawyers' letters and the potential for damaging children's innocent childhoods, we could try a different approach. The goal is to shame these people into admitting their mistakes," Li Hua continued. "Which do you think is more outrageous, 'Big Bird Spinning Around' or 'Kissing American Cockroaches Every Day'?"

"I think you're the most explosive." Benjamin's expression wrinkled into a ball, and he looked like he really wanted to dig out his eardrums and wash them so that he could forget what he had just heard.

At the same time, Benjamin gave Jason a condemning look.

Li Hua was such a pure and kind boy before, he must have been led astray by Jason.

Jason felt very innocent about this.

It wasn't him who led Li Hua astray. This abstract attribute was clearly Li Hua's innate quality. It wasn't him who brought nightmares to the little boss in the warehouse before!

But if Jason wanted to explain Li Hua's true nature to Benjamin, he would have to mention the Big Guy Incident... Let's forget about this kind of thing. Benjamin couldn't even accept the terms that Li Hua had just said. He didn't deserve to suffer such a disaster.

So Jason just acted as a carrier of condemning gazes in order to maintain the law of conservation of matter.

Li Hua pretended not to see Jason.

Superman didn't understand the meaning of the boys' glances. He just looked at Li Hua with an embarrassed expression: "Kid, is your poison really gone?"

He reasonably suspected that Li Hua was still in an excited state due to poisoning.

"There's no doubt he wasn't completely detoxified. We didn't give Li Hua enough antidote. Because Li Hua was wearing clothes, with the drug resistance buff, we had to give him ten times as much antidote. And since so many people were infected with that type of fear gas, we didn't have that much antidote on hand. If we waited for a new one to take effect, Li Hua would have metabolized most of the poison."

Tim sighed, trying to expel the wonderful scenes in his mind caused by Li Hua's words along with the carbon dioxide, so that they would be completely forgotten in a corner where no one noticed.

"But if Li Hua takes off his clothes, he'll be vulnerable to the concentrated fear gas still lingering in his body. So, after confirming with No. 666 that Li Hua can currently metabolize all the toxins on his own, and with Li Hua's consent, we've decided to maintain the status quo and let him wear the skirt and buff to metabolize the toxins on his own... However, we still injected him with all the antidotes we had, and while it's having some effect, he's definitely still a bit hyper."

"I didn't," Li Hua said. "I just feel like I'm really high right now."

Everyone: You are just too excited!

Superman said carefully: "Don't you care that Arkham is targeting you? Aren't you curious why you are being targeted?"

This seems to be the key point. How come the child didn’t pay any attention to it?

Batman: "I'm afraid it's because they realized that Li Hua has the least actual combat experience, so they want to use Li Hua as a breakthrough point."

Jason Benjamin’s actions had previously spread throughout the Blüdhaven Police Department. A quick investigation into their actions and police statements revealed that the two men’s pattern of action was to help the new with the old, and to help Li Hua gain experience.

They only pick on the weak, so this time they set their sights on Li Hua.

Li Hua was not at all worried about being targeted by a mentally ill person.

"My photos of me in women's clothing are almost making the headlines. If they still can't see me, they're just blind." Li Hua spread his hands. "Besides, they've been targeted anyway. Even if I blind the mastermind, it won't change the facts. So, let's just deal with it. At worst, I can sneak into Arkham at night and throw crushed five-nut mooncakes into their lunch. Maybe I can knock out a bunch of them."

Here it comes again, an eye-popping operation that is eye-popping in every sense of the word.

Jason: "I advise you to be reserved now, otherwise you'll be acting like an ostrich again when you calm down."

Li Hua usually maintains a reserved but polite attitude in front of elders and people he is not completely familiar with. In the past, wearing a skirt in front of Bruce and Alfred made him feel embarrassed for a long time. Now, not only did he wear a skirt in front of Superman, whom he met for the first time, but he also made many outrageous remarks... Jason reasonably suspected that after Li Hua calmed down, he would use the [Earth] card to dig an underground fortress for himself and then crawl into it.

"What else do I have to be afraid of? Didn't Batman just say that? My online reputation has been seen by his colleagues."

Facts have proved that social death is something you get used to after a few times. Now Li Hua has simply given up, he said with a tragic smile.

"So, there's no point in me pretending anymore. My terrible reputation on the online forums has definitely spread everywhere. So I'm just going to come clean. I'm done with the act! From today on, I'm no longer Li Hua. I'm Niu Hulu, the Magic Boy!"

Batman: ...

Superman: ...

Oh no, this kid looks a little crazy.

In fact, Batman has been secretly looking for someone to deal with the public opinion on the Internet about the three children to prevent people with ulterior motives from launching mental attacks on the three boys.

But unfortunately, the ability of these three people to come up with things is really too strong. The things they came up with within two weeks are just like Russian nesting dolls, one after another, and it is impossible to predict the direction of public opinion. The many sets of public relations plans they prepared were basically useless after the initial implementation, and they could hardly keep up with the speed of these three idea kings.

The three teenagers, who already loved to play pranks, were fine in Blüdhaven, but when they encountered the grand stage of Gotham, where "you can live but not live," and met a group of people who loved to play pranks, it was like throwing sodium metal into a pool, causing an explosive reaction, and they did something explosive in every sense of the word.

They only lived in Gotham for a total of one week, but they already had a ton of marketing accounts.

Considering that the children have been targeted by a group of psychopaths, even Batman, who originally wanted the three children to stay in Gotham temporarily so that he could observe them in real time to prevent them from causing any major problems and, more importantly, to see his son more often, now had to consider another more reliable plan:

"Once Jason's identity is restored, you will return to Bludhaven."

Compared to the lively all-star Gotham, Blüdhaven is obviously more conservative and safer for the three children.

-----------------------

The author has something to say: PS: For those who want to write, I offer a painful lesson - if you have set a plot with a clear time point, or the protagonist has to grow to a specific value before it can begin, then you'd better not pair the protagonist with people who have a very good compatibility with him/her, or come up with some reasonable plot to drag them along... In short, it's best not to stuff too many idea kings into the team, otherwise you may suddenly find that you can't hold on to this group of idea kings!

If you pull them in, that doesn't fit the character setting. If you don't pull them in... the plot can't be pulled in anymore!

This is Li Hua's situation right now. If he continues to stay in Gotham, the plot won't progress at all, because the speed of the Arkham prison break simply can't keep up with the speed of their actions! Only two weeks have passed in their timeline yet. With such a short time and the experience they've gained, there's no way they can create any plot points for him. I've been cooking up these chapters on the fly, focusing on a quick kill scene, and I've ended up with at least two thousand words of scrapped work!

Bludhaven is still better. There are not so many mentally polluting psychopaths and no parents or elders watching over them. It is convenient for idea kings to visit or do things, and they can let themselves go.

PPS: Don't drink coffee after a cup of milk tea, as it can cause extreme discomfort. I looked it up online and it suggests it's due to excessive caffeine intake. Anyway, I felt dizzy and confused after doing this. I forced myself to set a timer to post, then fell asleep for an hour (I'm not sure why I felt sleepy). I'm feeling better now.
