Thriller Paradise

water. this was a place with water.

it was built by the river and was located in a remote area.

the rusty ferris wheel, the creaking animal rocking chair, and countless abandoned amusement facilities all indicated that this place had been abandoned for many years.

on the side of the road overgrown with weeds, a wooden board stood alone in the wind. there was an old poster on the board, saying that the bonos brothers circus was performing here.

perhaps not many people still remember this name now, but many years ago, this group was still quite famous.

gotham city was one of the stops in their tour. the mayor at that time had specially allocated funds to build such a carnival in the suburbs to welcome them.

things had changed with the passage of time. now, the bonos brothers were nowhere to be found, and the carnival venue ... had become a broken place that even the homeless wouldn't stop.

but tonight, there was a guest here.

The man in a purple suit was sitting on a worn-out animal chair. He swayed his chair like a child, as if he had nothing to do.

"I know you're here." At one point, Feng bujue suddenly raised his head to look at the sky and mumbled to himself,"you're watching, listening, and waiting ..." He paused."I've been sitting here for fifteen minutes without doing anything, but I'm still not considered to be 'inactive gaming'. This can only be explained ... By the system that you've interfered with fate."

After he finished speaking, there was about five seconds of silence.

Then, another voice said,""How did you know ... It was me?"

It was a gentle male voice, but it sounded cold and numb.

"By elimination." Feng bujue answered without hesitation,"list out those who can manipulate the timeline and have the ability to interfere with 'fate', and then think about who has the highest possibility ... The conclusion is that characters of a lower level than you would not be able to do this, and characters of a higher level than you would not be able to do this, so ... After much thought, I can only think of you."

After that, Feng bujue turned around to look at the man who had suddenly appeared not far away from him.

That ... Was a blue humanoid creature, and its entire body was glowing like a blue light stick.

He was very tall, at least a head taller than Feng bujue. Other than the unusual skin color, he looked like a middle-aged man without any clothes or hair.

In the settings of the DC Universe, there were many existences that could be called "gods", and he was one of them, and he was a very powerful one. People called him the "Manhattan professor"

"I'm guessing ... You want to make a deal with me now," Two seconds later, the professor from Manhattan said,"

"You can predict the future ... Do you still need to guess?" Feng bujue added.

"I need it." Dr. Manhattan replied,"because ... You are not within my 'observation' range."

"Then ... What about Bruce Wayne?" he asked. Feng bujue asked,"or should I say ... That guy who' is probably Bruce Wayne '... Can you see his future?"

"you already know the answer, so why ask when you already know the answer?" the doctor from manhattan continued.

"ha ..." brother jue chuckled. he lifted his leg and turned to the side to get off the pink elephant (the animal chair that he was sitting on)."yes ... if you could see clearly, we would not be having this conversation right now."

"you seem to be a little dissatisfied. why?" the doctor had telepathy. even though feng bujue was smiling on the surface, he could see his true emotions.

"Because the 'hint' you gave me was too obvious. It's getting boring." Feng bujue continued,"you can keep your thoughts to yourself, and I'm happy to help you solve this problem in your heart. When you discover the truth, you will naturally get a logical answer ... Traveler from another world. " The next second, he repeated the last part of the introduction word for word. Then, he paused for half a second and said,"the 'traveler from another world' at the end of your speech seems to be a form of address for me from the context, but in fact ... It is the 'answer' itself ... From the beginning, you told me the 'truth' about the anomalies of this world, and the reason is ... Traveler from another world."

"Can't I tell you?" The doctor from Manhattan asked again.

"Ha ..." Feng bujue said,"I do not wish to answer that question. After all, you do not know me, so I can not say that you have done anything wrong."

"Hmm ..." The doctor sighed. In the process, he tried to analyze brother Jue's psychological state."I really did not expect ... You to be such a dangerous person."

"You should be glad that I'm not like that Wayne ... I won't be staying here for long." Feng bujue said.

"Yes, I'm very glad." Dr. Manhattan nodded slightly."If you were the one who came back then ... I'm afraid the world would have been turned upside down."

"Alright, I don't have the time to think about the development of another non-existent timeline with you. Let's talk about the 'deal' part." Feng bujue changed the topic.

Dr. Manhattan's expression did not change. He only paused for a moment before he said,""A long time ago ... I made a deal with 'him' as well. That was when he first came here ...

"That year, Bruce Wayne was nine years old. On the night of the one-year-old anniversary of his parents 'death, he was so sad that he swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills and ended his life.

"The cause of everything happened at that time ...

"A minute after Bruce's vital signs disappeared, a 'consciousness' from another world entered his body and brought him back to life. And that 'consciousness'... Is the 'Batman' that you've fought with twice today.

"When this 'unpredictable' special individual was born in this timeline, I immediately came before him and negotiated with him.

"He claimed that he came from a higher dimension than mine. Over there, all the multiverses in my dimension, all the people, things, and things ... Are nothing but the products of people's imagination.

"He listed the full picture of several different futures in detail, and I did observe the few universes that were exactly the same as his description.

"In addition, he knows me quite well and can tell me many secrets about me that no one else knows.

"As an 'observer', I naturally won't choose to kill such an existence ... Because he is 'unique' and 'extremely valuable as a reference'... His appearance has already changed the 'direction of reality' of this universe. No matter what future this universe takes, it will be an excellent specimen for me.

"Thus, I made a deal with him ...

"I gave Bruce Wayne the abilities he should have, such as an amazing IQ, physical strength, energy, and so on. I also cleared out all the people who might become 'threats' to him ... For example, the Kryptonian people who are called 'Supermen' in other universes, as well as other alien civilizations in this universe that may have crossed paths with earth.

"He promised that he would 'do better than the real Bruce Wayne'."

The professor paused for a moment and shook his head.""Actually, I don't care whether he will do' better 'or' worse '. I just want to see ... What he will' do' and ...'How' he will do it."

"So you're saying ... You've seen enough?" Feng bujue added.

"I've already seen enough. " Dr. Manhattan replied,"what I need now is change, but I can't predict what kind of effect it will have on my own quantum flow and all the multiverses in this dimension if I ... Or 'one of me'(Dr. Manhattan can clone himself into countless copies, and all of them have their own thoughts and abilities like the main body) interfere with him directly on the material or non-material level."

"So ..." Brother Jue continued,"that's why you want me to kill Batman for you?"

The professor nodded and said,""That's all I want and need. Tell me what you want."

"Ha ... That's easy ..." Feng bujue's lips curled up, and an evil smile appeared on his face."My request is definitely simpler than that Mr. 'Traveler''s. It's very easy to fulfill ..."
