Chapter 4057
Schiller frowned slightly when he heard this news. He naturally knew that Batman's revenge wouldn't come too late. But if the efficiency was this fast, then it was estimated that the Arkham Batman had made a move.
Don't forget, the Arkham Batman is a speedrunner. Moreover, although he has his own independent personality in the plot and the plot that players can shake is very limited, in terms of operation, that's not up to him.
Not to mention those big shots who challenge speedruns, even ordinary players, wandering around the world, finishing various side quests, and doing full collection, only take a few dozen hours in the real world. If it's really too bad, you can also invite the ancestor of the "Fengling Yueying" (cheat tool), a light ding, and whoever comes dies.
More than ten hours have passed since Charles's explosion; if it were in the Arkham Batman's universe, the Riddler's trophies would have been displayed all over. Just blowing up one brainwave amplifier now is already considered his cautious pace.
However, what Schiller didn't know was that precisely because Charles was worried about accidents with the mutants in this universe, he asked Schiller and the Gray Mist to create some somatic symptoms for them, letting them see a doctor, which gave the Arkham Batman and his party a chance to drill. This proves that one cannot be too wicked, otherwise, one will suffer bad luck sooner or later.
About six hours ago, the White Queen, who got the prescription from Schiller, went to the pharmacy of the field hospital to get medicine. As soon as she walked in, the pharmacy staff looked like they had seen a ghost.
"So sorry, ma'am, without a prescription, we really can't... oh, my god, you have a prescription, then there's no problem, let me see... this is your medicine. The doctor who prescribed it for you will call later, telling you how to take the medicine. Please be sure to follow the doctor's advice..."
The White Queen didn't listen at all. As an Omega-level psychic, even able to compete with Professor X in terms of psychic ability, even if she didn't study psychology, and didn't choose to be a psychologist, it's impossible for anyone in the world to be more adept at psychology than her. Could she not know she had severe anxiety?
With that native family of hers, with those emotional experiences of hers, not having one ability explosion to blow up the Earth is already Earth's good luck. Compared to her, Magneto's native family is quite happy; compared to her, Scarlet Witch's emotional experiences are quite smooth. The White Queen Emma Frost hasn't had a few days of peace in her life: a black-hearted father, a drug-addicted mother, sisters with bad brains, and a broken self.
Starting from junior high school, the White Queen has suffered from severe anxiety. The anxiety at this time mostly came from her father's extreme control, but later, after her brother had that incident, it turned into bipolar disorder, and it hasn't recovered until today.
And the only thing the White Queen felt fortunate about was that psychological medicine wasn't very popular in her era, and she hadn't been diagnosed with mental illness from beginning to end. This is actually very important to her, because the Hellfire Club has been actively participating in politics recently.
The universe crisis in the central universe is not many, and mutants have a very stable rear base, and also established a new country on Earth. However, the Hellfire Club didn't go to fight for the power of the new Shangdu country; they stayed in the United States, actively fighting for congressional seats. Currently, Sebastian has successfully become a senator of Pennsylvania, and she herself is also fighting to become a senator of Massachusetts.
Before, this was unimaginable for mutants; absolutely no normal person would choose a mutant as a senator. In ordinary people's words: "You cannot demand to hold the button in your hand when you are already a nuclear bomb." This is absolutely impossible.
However, with the development of internet technology, ordinary people have a deeper understanding of mutants, and many mutant internet celebrities have made great contributions to the shift in public opinion about mutants.
But in fact, the most important thing is that the physical fitness of all mankind has improved; those mutant ability explosion disasters that might have taken the lives of ordinary people in the past usually won't cause fatal damage under normal circumstances. And because of the development of technology, the damage to buildings and roads can also be repaired quickly; this is the core reason why mutants are more accepted by the public.
This group of people in the Hellfire Club, although believing in elitism, can indeed be considered elites and are very sensitive to political signals. They have no intention of managing that small country, nor do they want to go to the Andromeda Galaxy to compete with Magneto; it's better to stay in the United States and fight for their own political seats in this superpower.
Don't look at the development of technology and the progress of the era; the political atmosphere in the United States is not open. You can use the fact that you have various mental problems to win the sympathy of voters, but you cannot really be a mental patient. Once diagnosed, it will absolutely become a handle for political enemies to attack you. So the White Queen absolutely won't let the fact that she has mental problems spread out; she has even erased the memories of many people for this.
But this time it's a bit different; her mental state has actually deteriorated to the point of producing somatic symptoms. The White Queen isn't stupid; having won a senator seat, she also has to have a life to keep it; heart problems are not a small matter; if it really stops beating one day, who can she reason with?
Actually, it's just choosing the lesser of two evils; although mental problems caused her some trouble in the past, they could still be endured. This time she was really a bit scared, otherwise, she wouldn't have seen a doctor and then obediently taken medicine.
But even so, she didn't want to make this matter known to everyone. After all, she came from that era full of discrimination; the only teacher who brought her beautiful memories in the past abandoned her because she was a mutant; she herself felt that she was an unstable bomb; if people knew she was a mental patient, wouldn't it be even worse?
The White Queen put her medicine into a plastic bag, and put another layer of plastic bag on the outside to prevent others from seeing what it was, carrying the medicine and walking outside. But just at this time, it happened that the group of people from the Hellfire Club in the Prime Universe came in.
It seems that one of their members was injured and came to the hospital for treatment. The White Queen didn't recognize that injured member; it was estimated that they hadn't joined the club yet, and she hadn't dealt with this group of people in the Prime Universe, so she avoided them and hurried to walk out.
As a result, at this time, a petite black-haired woman suddenly blocked her path. The White Queen recognized that this was the Black Queen Selene Gallio in the Hellfire Club, also the first mutant on Earth, more than 10,000 years older than the so-called ancestor of mutants Apocalypse, born in the tribal era, once relied on absorbing the life force of the entire Roman Republic to maintain her immortality, and is also very good at magic, is a character similar to a vampire.
The relationship between the White Queen and the Black Queen is not good; the two don't look at each other favorably, and the Black Queen has always wanted to kick Sebastian out of the Hellfire Club, just hasn't succeeded yet. And this guy has always been hitting on Magneto's idea, wanting to take the construction results of the Andromeda Galaxy as her own. Fortunately, the power of Professor X and Magneto combined is too strong; after being taught a lesson several times, she disappeared, seemingly looking for some ancient treasure, and rarely appeared in the club again.
However, the White Queen only knew the situation of the Black Queen in their universe; as for the Prime Universe, she didn't know. But looking at this appearance, it's likely that she came with bad intentions.
The White Queen knew that the Black Queen has been actively wanting to win over external forces; this time, mutants with names and surnames in the multiverse have all come, giving her a broad space to choose from; she wouldn't have taken a fancy to herself, right?
"What's your business?" The White Queen said without showing weakness, "I have never seen anyone more annoying than you; get lost."
Although much shorter than the White Queen and completely incomparable to the other party's strength, the Black Queen has an innate dark temperament, and her momentum is not at all at a disadvantage. She smiled mysteriously and said: "Emma, we are also old friends; don't be so cold. What are you doing in the hospital? Could it be that you are sick?"
The White Queen least wants to show weakness in front of people, let alone this kind of person she doesn't look at favorably. She snorted coldly and said: "Then why did you appear here? Could it be that you were beaten by someone and want to come over for treatment?"
"I just arrived; you have already come out. What are you holding in your hand? Healing ointment? Let me see."
Before the words fell, the Black Queen wanted to reach out and grab it. The White Queen retreated a step in a hurry, immediately launching mental interference, but was still a step slow. Although she had already put the medicine into the bag, that prescription was still held in her hand. The Black Queen grabbed it with quick eyes and fast hands, took a look, sneered, and then said: "Didn't expect that just such a small war would make you nervous enough to need to see a psychologist? Don't misunderstand, I'm not mocking you; I'm just caring about you. Is your little heart okay?"
The White Queen was about to explode with anger, but she also knew that Professor X absolutely wouldn't allow any accidents with mutants in the central universe; if she made a move in the field hospital, the first to offend would be the local Professor X and Magneto.
She took a deep breath and said: "Selene, are you sick? Whether I see a doctor has nothing to do with you. Give me back my prescription!"
This prescription prescribed a course of medicine; she only took half a course today, and she still has to use it next time she comes to get medicine. If it was taken away by this bastard, she would have to find that even more bastard doctor again.
The Black Queen shook that piece of paper next to her face and said: "Don't be anxious, my sentimental little baby; I just want to talk business with you. You aren't from our universe, but you can still help. As long as you help me once, I will absolutely not reveal the fact that you saw a doctor. But if you don't help me..."
The White Queen didn't know what to say; she came to the hospital so openly, and still afraid of others threatening her? She stepped forward, relying on her height and body advantage, grabbed the prescription back, snorted coldly, and said: "Ten thousand years ago I was just planting an onion; now I've grown taller than you. Get lost, dwarf!"
The White Queen bumped her away and walked away. Feeling the murderous gaze behind her, the White Queen actually felt that her mood was much better. Sure enough, reflecting on oneself is not as good as attacking others. However, she still secretly warned herself in her heart that the group of people in the Prime Universe doesn't have any sense of proportion at all; in the future, she must have less contact with them, otherwise, she will definitely be led into a pit.
Returning to the room, she just received a follow-up call from Schiller, took the medicine according to the doctor's advice, and the White Queen felt somewhat sleepy and went to sleep. But she hadn't slept for an hour when she felt her door being knocked. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Magneto standing outside with a dark face.
The two have a little friendship in private; after all, fighting for political seats in the United States is also good for mutants; the Hellfire Club and the Brotherhood of Mutants have some tacit understanding in the handling of certain things, and the relationship between the two is naturally not bad.
But this time, as soon as Magneto opened his mouth, he said: "Emma, you'd better rest for a while. For the subsequent patrol missions, I helped you ask for leave, and also pushed away your combat mission to the front line. If you want, you can return to Earth to rest."
The White Queen's pupils shrank.
