Chapter 1812
"What are you shouting for? Didn't you already know about the existence of ghosts?" Helen said, looking at the quite terrified Eddie.
"But he... he is Shiler!" Eddie pointed to the translucent figure in mid-air and said: "How could he turn into a ghost?!!"
"First, let me correct you. I can't be considered a ghost, only a phantom, because I cannot possess others in this state, nor do I have attack power. I can basically only scare people."
Shiler floated down slowly. Only then did Eddie see clearly that his transparency was higher than the ghosts Eddie had seen before. It could be said that the whole person was a hazy shadow. If the voice wasn't Dr. Shiler's, Eddie wouldn't even be able to determine who this was.
"However, this also has an advantage, which is that the concealment is relatively high. If you didn't specifically tune the brainwaves to my frequency band, you wouldn't be able to see me at all." Shiler shrugged and said: "Perfect audience mode. Actually, even if you didn't summon me, I wanted to take advantage of Tony's inattention to fly back and watch the fun."
"Fun? We are in big trouble now!" Helen said helplessly, hugging her arms: "Ghosts possess zombies, causing them not to trigger a large-scale zombie crisis as soon as they land. The superheroes of this universe don't have the memory of the reset, they still think zombies are just ordinary monsters, and have no vigilance at all."
"But Spider-Man wants to save everyone and won't let us eliminate the infected zombie superheroes on the spot. Spider-Man also has spider-sense, so we don't have a chance to sneak attack."
"If this continues, the zombie crisis will still break out, and the two universes will cycle again. We will be trapped here all the time and won't be able to get out at all."
Eddie turned to look at Shiler and said with some confusion: "You said Tony is also here. Why did you bring him here?"
"This is the key." Shiler snapped his fingers and said: "Before, we once found a Devourer Engine, which was a weapon made by the Avengers of other universes using the head of Galactus."
"Hulk and Tony have both entered the Devourer Engine, and Tony has also conducted very in-depth research on it. And this time we found another head of Galactus. I believe Tony can completely restore the Devourer Engine."
"Does the Devourer Engine have any help in solving the situation of these two universes?"
Shiler shook his head and said: "Saving these two universes is actually not difficult at all. With the genius Tony Stark, the antidote will be researched sooner or later."
"The biggest problem now is how to save the zombie superheroes, to be precise, how to save zombie Spider-Man."
"Other zombie superheroes lost their memories every time the universe reset because they were not affected by the spider totem, but because of Nick's existence, Spider-Man in the zombie universe was affected."
"The memories of those countless terrible experiences in the cycle have always existed in his mind, forming deep scars. Ordinary methods simply cannot solve it. This is the only reason Nick asked me to come."
"Although it is a bit troublesome to solve his pile of messy garbage, it is not to the point where I have to make a trip to another universe. There are so many stars in the universe. If the sun is targeted by humans, wouldn't it be the same if it is thrown to the Andromeda Galaxy?"
"I guess he actually noticed that one of his little lambs fell off the cliff and was trapped in the mud."
"But just as he said, Spider-Men in every universe are constantly losing, and there are too many problems waiting to be solved. He cannot mobilize the power of our universe on a large scale to come to the rescue, and can only send one or two professionals to provide a little help to Spider-Man."
"So you are that professional? Doctor?"
Shiler nodded and then said: "In order to solve this kind of difficult and complicated disease that far exceeds common sense, I specially prepared a special therapy. Eddie, how do you feel now?"
Finding Shiler's gaze falling on him, Eddie looked back blankly, looked down at himself again, reached out and touched his chest, and said: "What feeling? What should I feel? Are you saying you treated me with that special therapy?"
Shiler sighed and said helplessly: "Forget it, I shouldn't have expected the sharpness of ordinary people. Venom, you should have felt it, right?"
Eddie heard Venom click his tongue, obviously Venom knew something, so Eddie asked in his heart: "What's wrong with him? Venom, what happened to me?"
"You coward, didn't you notice that you aren't very afraid anymore?"
"How can I not..."
"Use your brain and think. Usually, you can be scared to spill your cheese balls all over the floor just by watching a horror movie on the TV screen, but now you see a ghost every five minutes on average. There are zombies in front and ghosts behind. Under the condition that your acrophobia hasn't improved at all, you had to climb down from as high as the eighth floor, tossed around, and exhausted your physical strength and energy, but you can still communicate very rationally without collapsing. Is this normal?"
Eddie couldn't refute. Only now did he discover that his seemingly normal state now was the most unusual. Don't forget what he just experienced.
He wasn't like the protagonist of a zombie movie who saw the zombie crisis break out on TV first, and then watched the world be occupied by zombies little by little. He was thrown into a pile of zombies and ghosts as soon as he fell from the sky, without any buffer time.
The things he experienced within a few hours just now could be called the most thrilling adventure he had ever experienced in his life, one of them, and he almost completely escaped from danger by himself. This is unimaginable for ordinary people.
Don't look at people pointing fingers at the protagonists in horror movies one by one when watching horror movies, saying that they shouldn't do this or that, but then again, under high pressure, forced errors are inevitable. If people who point fingers are thrown into an environment full of monsters, their performance might not be much better than the protagonists.
Eddie considers himself an ordinary person, and he knows very well that he is not considered very brave among ordinary people. But if he were to objectively score his performance in the past few hours, he could definitely score a high score of one thousand points. It is simply heroic and invincible, and can be considered a mainstay in the protagonist group in horror movies.
And Eddie recalled that he rarely had situations where he couldn't make a decision for a long time because of panic along the way. Actually, he had encountered this situation before.
It wasn't that he wanted to hesitate and waste precious opportunities, but he simply couldn't control himself. But in these few hours, he was as if guided by an immortal or possessed by Jesus. He said go and go, said do and do, and moved very fast with a very handsome posture.
Is this really himself? Eddie felt a trace of horror, and at this time Shiler gave the answer: "This is the brainwave therapy I recently researched, specifically for all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases of superheroes."
"Simply put, it is to send a ghost carrying a magnetic field control device to follow you 24 hours a day, using the magnetic field to continuously influence your brainwaves, helping you discard some extreme negative emotions, so that your emotions can stabilize."
Venom's voice rang in Eddie's mind: "I did feel some weak changes, but I thought it was a natural phenomenon of this universe. The Earth's magnetic field is ever-changing. Unless it is an organism extremely sensitive to the magnetic field, I am afraid it is difficult to detect this change."
"All measures taken by psychologists are emergency measures." Shiler proposed a common sense that is very common in the field of psychology: "Because if the situation hasn't reached the point of no return, people won't see a psychologist. All patients sitting in the psychologist's office are seriously ill."
"But treating psychology and treating the body are diametrically opposite. The effect of emergency measures is far inferior to daily physical therapy, but seriously ill patients no longer have the ability to take measures to soothe their emotions in their daily lives, so they can only take some mandatory long-term physical therapy measures."
"So now there is a ghost following zombie Spider-Man?" Helen keenly noticed the problem: "So this is what you want, Doctor? They go to mix with those superheroes who have no vigilance, take slow methods, and may even fail many times in the middle, just to extend the time of brainwave treatment?"
Shiler nodded and said: "The special feature of these two universes is that their countless cycles will reset all disasters, so even if they fail, it doesn't matter. Anyway, they will return to the starting point, as long as the last time succeeds."
"But zombie Spider-Man retained his sanity for special reasons. In other words, the treatment effect on him will not be reset, but continuously accumulated. So it's just right if they fail. It doesn't matter if they cycle dozens of times."
"However, I don't intend to do this. I intend to solve the problem in this cycle."
"Why?"
"Because I already have a better method." Shiler smiled and said.
Helen asked with some curiosity: "What method? What method can both save the two universes and treat Spider-Man's psychological trauma in this cycle?"
"The key lies in you, Miss."
Helen opened her mouth wide. She asked with some surprise: "Me? What method can I have? If I had a method, I wouldn't have summoned you, Doctor."
"After discovering that you also came to this world, I slightly adjusted my plan. With you here, things are much easier." Shiler floated in front of Helen, and Helen still looked at him with some puzzled eyes.
"Helen, you are actually much more powerful than you think. This is not chicken soup for the soul, but a fact. There are many instincts you ignored hidden deep in your subconscious."
Helen opened her mouth. She recalled many items she saw in the folder called Instinct. She frowned deeply, asked with some confusion: "Is that true? I thought that was my fantasy, or at least there must be some prerequisites?"
"Logically speaking, you need to enter adulthood, but according to my observation, because your living environment is too comfortable and you eat too much, you could have used some abilities that can be used in adulthood long ago, but you have never noticed them, so you haven't used them."
"I really didn't eat a lot!!!" Helen raised her tone and said: "Apokolips and the Green Lantern Corps fought so fiercely, I only ate less than two thousand lamp furnaces, not even enough to get between my teeth!"
And Shiler looked at her eyes, obviously saying "Do you want to hear what you are saying?"
After the two stared at each other for a few seconds, Helen was defeated helplessly. She sighed, dropped her hands, and sank her thoughts into her consciousness.
Helen already understood what Shiler wanted to do, so she turned out the Instinct folder she had thrown aside before and set her eyes on one of them.
That instinct is called "Doomsday Spore".
