Chapter 126 Isn’t it common sense that mental retardation magic cannot be effective on the mentally retarded?
"When the computing power of their brains can no longer support this neural network, the weakness of this project will protect them... It's like a fuse. All these insects will die, but I don't think you will let more than 3,000 people sleep forever just for the lives of these insects." Gallup pointed to the box beside him, and the spider inside moved its legs. The weakness he mentioned was that these arthropods themselves were too fragile.
"I can't believe what the animal rights groups would do to you if they knew about your plan," Flash nudged Wonder Woman's shoulder pad with his elbow. "Do you think this is feasible?"
"It's not a big problem, but the 'tranquilizer' is troublesome." Wonder Woman is the vigilante who has the most contact with magic here. She nodded in approval of the plan.
They all looked at Batman, the one who really made the decision.
Batman was reading a book. "Do you have a tranquilizer?"
"Is this okay?" Liu Shu took out a bottle of sweet dream syrup, which is a specialty of Pinocchio. In fact, she brought a lot of other Pinocchio specialties, some of which might be able to directly solve the current situation, but she thought Gallup's plan was pretty good.
After she said it was food, Gallup dipped his index finger in the syrup and put it in his mouth.
"The raw material of this thing is a bit special." He seemed a little shocked, but the calming effect of the syrup took effect.
"Like some kind of byproduct, but..." Gallup was still trying to analyze the can of dreamy-colored syrup.
"Does it work?" Batman felt that now was not the time to worry about the 'Tranquilizer' synthesis table.
"Okay, that's great." Gallup stood up and walked towards the elevator.
"Is that all?" Secretary Liu felt that he had given him a bottle, not a pool or a bucket.
"Even a great magician of my level can be forced to calm down, so those thousands of people below are nothing compared to this 'tranquilizer'." Gallup waved his hand.
"I always feel that this method is still..." Superman was the last one to step into the elevator. He had been thinking about the plan proposed by Gallup.
"Do you have doubts?" Gallup patted his shoulder. "That's normal. I didn't think this method was reliable before."
"Before?" Superman walked out of the elevator that reached the next floor and opened again. He looked at the old wizard in confusion.
"Yes, similar things have happened before. My teacher solved it in this way. Since then, I have become interested in various basic spells." Gallup took out the chalk and began to draw on the ground.
"So this is going to work?"
"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Gallup glared.
"We didn't know each other before..." Superman still remembered how the magician found him.
"Stop arguing, I haven't finished painting yet." Gallup didn't look back.
"Mages are all so weird." Liu Shu said in a low voice.
In her heart, the label of mysterious and elegant can no longer be applied to the mage.
But...it turns out that the mental retardation technique is so useful.
"I think so too." Tim looked at the mage who had already drawn a lot of runes and began to look for the exit of the laboratory.
Liu Shu followed him and began to walk around the huge underground space.
"Is there no one else?" Liu Shu felt that there were too few people who could move here. All she saw were people in the jars. There were no employees or guards.
"This is a safe passage. They've probably all escaped." Tim opened a hidden door.
"If Luthor hadn't provoked Superman, he wouldn't have been caught." Liu Shu had no intention of going into the passage, as there might be a trap inside.
"He's becoming more and more unscrupulous." Tim nodded.
"I thought I would use this today." Liu Shu took out a small ball that looked like a bubble and tossed it around.
"Um?"
"This small prop is made based on the Pinoconi memory bubble in the dreamland. It can store the consciousness of a human. Of course, I can give you the drawings for mass production." As a result, a mental retardation spell will do, and there is no need for a temporary transit point. Liu Shu put the bubble in front of his eyes and looked at the laboratory through it.
More than three thousand consciousnesses are not a lot. According to Gallup's method, these people will end their current state more quickly.
"?" Tim thought the number was a bit small, but considering the size of the prop, it was a very impressive little instrument. "You actually prepared it."
"You've told me all the possible problems I might encounter, so how could I not be prepared?"
"Thank you, I thought today was going to be a difficult day." Tim leaned over and hugged her for a moment.
"It would be really hard to get through if you had to work all afternoon." Liu Shu looked up at him. With Batman and his teammates around, there was nothing to worry about.
"Don't remind me of the things I left behind today." Tim closed his eyes and shook his head, as if trying to get rid of the work from his mind.
"How long do you think it will take him to draw that magic circle?" Liu Shu touched his mask. Why didn't others recognize him when he put on this?
"At that speed..." Tim recalled the mage's technique and calculated based on this, "About seven minutes. He painted the edges first and then moved inwards, but you don't see many mages using chalk."
"But he used to be a teacher, so using chalk seems normal." Liu Shu thought of Gallup's identity, a former information security professor, and he really couldn't imagine that a magician would do this.
"I found some rumors about him, but they're negative." Tim started walking back.
"Huh? Then let him save people?" Liu Shu was a little surprised. She thought that at this time he would be very cautious about Gallup's negative information.
"It's not that negative. It's the students who say he's too strict. The assessment standards for his classes are very high, and only a few people can complete the course and pass the exams." Tim smiled and showed her the school forum where Gallup once served.
"Some people are still scolding him," Liu Shu saw the negative comments, "but he is in seclusion, right? Is there a reason?"
"Then we have to ask if there are any magicians who know him. There is no news yet." After seeing her finish reading, Tim put down his phone.
"What he said about Mendeleev is also true?"
"It's very possible." Tim stopped and looked at Gallup who was still drawing a magic circle in the distance. "He doesn't seem to be lying."
Being able to cast a feebleminded spell on over 3,000 people at once, lying probably wouldn't be of much use to him anymore. Liu Shu took out his phone and sent a text message to the only mage he knew.
[Do you know Gallup Ashwaite?]
[Yes, he's proficient in all basic spells, and also has extremely high achievements in alchemy and mental magic. He lives permanently in Gotham. You met him, what happened?] Strange replied quickly, obviously not busy.
[It's not a big deal, he's saving people.] Liu Shu looked up at the magic circle that began to glow. Yes, although it was a weak magic, it was saving people.
[Let him take it easy. He's old and still running around every day. He doesn't look like someone with enemies at all.]
[Do you know who has a grudge against him?] Liu Shu was curious, thinking she could get the information she wanted from here.
[One of his students, who was severely scolded by him in college, later went on to study magic. It must be said that he had some talent. After learning Gallup's identity at the association, he began to challenge the old man.]
[Is this a grudge?] It can only be that the students want to prove their abilities, right?
[Not really, but that's what we all say.]
[Why? ]
[It’s fun.]
Mage, this is so strange. Liu Shu turned off her phone, she still didn’t understand.
"What's wrong?" Tim noticed that her expression was not right.
"No wonder you don't like magicians."
"Huh?" He didn't know why she suddenly said this.
"What a joke." Liu Shu suddenly realized that the current situation in this laboratory was also very weird. Casting a mental retardation spell on so many people, if others told others about it, they would think that the person who said it was under a spell.
"Actually, I don't dislike magic that much," Tim hugged her, "I just don't like the obstacles that magic brings."
"You seem to be talking nonsense." You could say that about a lot of things, right? He didn't like technology because he didn't like the obstacles it created. No one likes the opposite of something. Liu Shu simply leaned on him and continued to observe the formation.
The magic circle with white light had spread to their feet, and then quickly continued to spread outward. Gradually, the entire laboratory was shrouded in the light of the magic circle.
Perhaps because the spell was not aimed at them, Liu Shu did not notice anything unusual, but after many sounds of broken glass, the magic circle disappeared.
The people around them also woke up, and the jars that trapped them shattered to the ground.
"They don't look like they are very sober." Because of the dazed expressions of the rescued people, Tim walked towards Batman.
"When will things return to normal?" Batman asked Gallup as he stood in front of him.
"Within a week, the smarter you are, the slower you progress, but it's also linked to willpower. Don't look at me like that. Haven't I woken up?" Gallup took two big steps back.
"Didn't you say before..." Superman felt a headache when he saw the more than 3,000 not-so-intelligent humans who had already started exploring the world. With so many people, accidents could easily happen. Although he had the ability to watch them, he would have no time to do anything else this week.
"Retarded spell, retarded spell. How can it be called retarded spell if it doesn't make people retarded?" Gallup took another big step back. "It's none of my business. The spell will be lifted the moment I cast it. After that, it all depends on their willpower. Let's see when they realize they're not really retarded."
"Have you encountered this kind of situation before?" Liu Shuke still remembered that he had just said that his teacher had used this method to solve similar problems.
"Of course, it took me a full month and a half to take care of those people. You should be thankful for my precise control over this spell, otherwise it would have taken another month and a half, and there were still more than 3,000 people. Ugh, it's really scary." Gallup had an expression that said, "I'm so awesome."
