Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Different Paths to the Same Destination

"What card bug? This is called a mechanism."

No. 666 said.

"So what if there's a bug? A good Spacetime Maintainer needs to be flexible and open-minded. We not only find loopholes in the mechanics, we also find bugs in the rules of the world. We even have a dedicated internal forum to share each employee's brilliant operations and guidance."

Their Space-Time Stability Maintenance Bureau always faces various unfavorable working conditions. The more flexible the brain is, the better it can handle various situations.

It doesn't matter if you're a troublemaker, an idea maker, or just someone who loves to have fun, as long as you can really make the target world come alive, that's all that matters.

Just like an emergency doctor, no matter whether you pull out a blood vessel and tie a knot to stop the bleeding or squeeze the heart with your hands to stimulate the pacemaker, as long as you can save the patient, you are a good doctor.

From No. 666's perspective, Li Hua had finally grasped the aesthetic value of strength. Jason had also abandoned formalities and realized the beauty of numerical values, adding that buggy magical girl transformation staff to his equipment list.

Only Benjamin couldn't let go of the image burden that came from nowhere, and he was still a million miles away from the BUG wand. When he took his children for a walk in the wild, he would rather tire himself out than use the wand to increase his strength.

Although Benjamin also improved his physical fitness, No. 666 still felt a little regretful.

However, it believes that under the influence of Li Hua and Jason, Benjamin will one day open the door to the aesthetic of intensity and step into a new world.

Of course, although the main goal of their Space-Time Stability Maintenance Bureau is to keep the "patients" alive, things like stabbing the "patients" and cutting off a few pieces of flesh are not allowed.

They can joke about each other's immorality or lack of martial ethics, but they must never be so immoral as to attack innocent people. They are a formal organization!

Li Hua couldn't help but raise his hand to interrupt No. 666's explanation and asked, "What if I get beaten by people who don't know the truth?"

No. 666: "What does not knowing the truth have to do with your fighting back in self-defense? The innocent people here are those who did not interfere with the world rescue operation."

Benjamin: "Does a big bad guy count?"

No. 666: "Sadly, both count, because the villains you perceive are native to the universe. We can't actively interfere with the development of the world. You've never seen a doctor distracted by removing a mole or an old scar during a life-saving operation, have you?"

Is it right for a doctor to pick out a patient's acne while the patient is still bleeding heavily/in cardiac arrest?

This is definitely not right!

Benjamin frowned. "Doesn't that mean that from now on, when Li Hua sees the bad guys doing bad things, he can only watch?"

"Look, this is someone who doesn't know how to adapt." Jason shook his head and said, "First of all, for ordinary criminals, you just need to be careful not to beat them to death. If that doesn't work, you can use a sting operation to trick them into attacking you. That way, they won't be considered innocent people."

Jason felt that the definition of the rule mentioned by No. 666 was too broad and flexible. It could only prevent gentlemen but not villains.

But judging by this organization's definition of "innocent people"... I'm afraid their definition of morality isn't so... fixed either.

"This rule is mainly to prevent people from doing things like the guys in Arkham Asylum, or using a star destroyer to kill cockroaches, which would cause massive and meaningless casualties and put the cart before the horse. Ordinary acts of bravery and harmless slacking off won't be restricted."

No. 666 said to Benjamin, whose brows were still furrowed.

"If all else fails, you can still appeal. If the organization were as rigid as you think, Dr. Contradiction and Azmis wouldn't have run this inter-universe training camp."

"Yes, it's not as exaggerated as you think," Li Hua said. "Just like the last time I was on a mission, I helped out by extending my foot and tripped a thief, and even bought him some snacks. Nothing happened at all."

Benjamin's frown finally relaxed. "Okay... then what about that unusual act of bravery you mentioned, No. 666?"

No. 666: "He used a star destroyer to help the locals kill cockroaches, but he overestimated the planet's density and blew up its core. He also passed by an icy planet and wanted to help end the ice age early, so he unleashed his Inferno magic. As a result, the planet's ecosystem completely collapsed, wiping out all life on the planet... and so on. And that's how this rule came about."

Just like a program, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it or think it’s full of bugs.

But you must never repair the program without making a backup if the program itself can run!

If you click on this short message template, you can hear the warnings and cries of countless employees across time:

[Can this universal law still operate normally? If it can, it means that the "abnormality" you see is part of the operation of the universal law. Don't tamper with it!]

[Follow the rules. Do you want to make up for the fact that the mission is too easy because there are no low-level creatures, and become a troublemaker yourself?]

[Don't mess around! Don't mess around! Don't mess around! Do you think it's easy to modify the timeline and reality? Those who don't understand the rules and don't understand what people are saying should quickly choose between dying to atone for their sins or working overtime for our department.]...

"Have you had enough of the bedtime story? Then go to bed."

No. 666 ended the topic.

It's not just because Benjamin and Jason are not interested in this and there's no point in knowing it, but also because it noticed that Li Hua's eyelids were beginning to twitch, and Jason had just yawned.

Today's test consumed a lot of their energy, physical strength and magic power. Even teenagers need rest no matter how energetic they are.

not to mention......

"Have you forgotten that there are still fourteen cubs on the sun who have been left dormant all day? If you don't rest now, how are you going to deal with a group of energetic and dissatisfied cubs tomorrow?"

"......Good night, Jason. Good night, Li Hua. I'm going to bed."

"I also......"

"Me too."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three people who were trying to force themselves to continue chatting instantly became listless, drank their cups of hot milk, and went back to their beds.

Days of parenting experience had taught them that expending the energy of fourteen Nakfuji cubs was no easier than saving the world. If they didn't rest now, tomorrow they would be so exhausted they would lose the will to live.

......

Tim, who came from Night Watch, jumped in front of the Batcomputer without taking off his Domino mask. "Is this the gift from the Batman from Another World? Can I see it?"

"No." Bruce looked over the child's furry head and put the box into his cloak to block the child's prying eyes. "You should go to bed, Tim. Tomorrow is Thursday and you have to go to school."

Tim: "Can't I just take a look?"

Bruce: "No."

What Batman from Earth-1 sent wasn't suitable for a bedtime story for children.

This wasn't Tim's first day working with Bruce, and knowing that Bruce wouldn't be able to see him today, he simply went upstairs and went to sleep.

He didn't want to be called out by the teacher or even have his parents called in for sleeping in class again.

Anyway, even if Bruce doesn't tell him the contents of the letter, he can still ask Jason, Benjamin, and Li Hua, and he will eventually know the general content.

When the sound of footsteps on the stairs gradually faded away and disappeared, Bruce walked into the research area in the Batcave and placed the box into the isolation box.

After putting on a gas mask and full protective gear, Bruce manipulated the gloves of the isolation box to open the small box and took out a letter and a USB drive.

Bruce took out all the cushioning sponges from the box again and found that these were indeed the only things there.

If it's just letters and a USB drive, why is there a strange groove in the cushion, and why is it wrapped with so many layers of sponge?

Bruce didn't think it was because his counterpart liked to over-package.

He had read about Earth-1 and the situation of Superman and Batman in that universe. If his alter ego, filled with hatred for Superman and with a twisted will, still had some sanity left and could write to him, it would undoubtedly have included a sample of the Doomsday virus.

Therefore, even if no virus was detected in the isolation box, Bruce did not dare to open the isolation box rashly. He simply put on gloves and read the letter inside the isolation box.

The content of the letter, written in a handwriting that Bruce was very familiar with, told a story that was very similar to the one Bruce remembered...or rather, an accident.

In this incident, consistent with the information in Bruce's hands, the Superman of this universe launched an act of devastation on the entire earth.

The letter detailed the timeline of Superman's actual atrocities against Earth after he tore off his kind disguise. It also mentioned that more detailed evidence and the production method of the Doomsday virus were stored in a USB flash drive, and he also attached a copy of the Doomsday virus that could be used in an emergency.

However, contrary to the information Bruce has, the Batman in this universe did not activate the Doomsday virus on himself.

Because three teenagers intervened on the scene and turned the tide of battle in a... subtly clever way.

Therefore, this Batman did not become a monster with a distorted will and greatly reduced IQ because of the Doomsday virus.

He still maintains his human body and remains calm, and simply writes letters to his counterparts as warnings. He does not intend to run to other worlds where Superman still exists to "protect" them from Superman by infecting everyone.

At the end of the letter, familiar handwriting reads: "Your son is brave, outstanding, and loves you very much. You have a good family and friends. Always be vigilant and protect them."

I always knew it. I would.

After reading the letter, Bruce replied in his heart.

The question of "what did the children encounter in the parallel world" was answered, but new questions soon arose in Bruce's heart.

Hadn't the peer mentioned in the letter that he'd included a sample of the Doomsday virus? The grooves for the cushioning pads were still there, so where had the Doomsday virus sample gone?

.......

Could it be?!

Bruce immediately rushed to the guest room on the second floor of Wayne Manor.

Li Hua, you can't use the Doomsday virus as a fear toxin! Benjamin, you can't use the Crab Armor Mastermind to replicate the Doomsday virus!

The author has something to say: Different paths lead to the same destination: Batman in different universes all choose to keep the Doomsday virus away from teenagers who love to play tricks [dog head]
