Not to mention the differences in the worldviews of Xiao Dai and Harley. They grew up in different social environments, and their ideas are of course very different. However, Diana is an Amazon after all, and she can accept the death of people. So he didn't say anything more, and just looked at Deathstroke with his big eyes to see what he planned to do next.
Su Ming thought for a while, and then took the three of them to the neighbor's house next door. He pried open the door without any politeness and walked in as if he were returning to his own home.
There were three people in this family. He went to the bedroom to take a look, but he saw the host and hostess lying on the bed with smiles on their faces under the dim moonlight, with their eyes wide open, playing with their personal terminals.
They had no reaction to outsiders entering their home.
"The earth in this timeline is too weird." Kara shook her head. She even reached out and poked the woman on the bed a few times, but there was no response from the other party: "They give people the impression that their thoughts are surfing the Internet. , but it’s as if the body is taken over by something.”
"Ah, you're right." Su Ming squinted his one eye. He gave Supergirl a box of chocolate frogs as a reward and asked her to drink with it: "What you said is very appropriate. Is the body being held in trust...
...
"I'm back, the kids in this family are in the same situation." Harley and Dai came out of the children's room of this family. There was a teenage child in this family, but he was still lying on the bed and playing with a smile on his face. Terminal: "These people have lost their souls. Let alone cooking, I think eating is a problem."
"Very good." Su Ming motioned to the three girls to follow him and search in the kitchen on the first floor. He didn't say what he was looking for, but asked everyone to help open the refrigerator and cabinets to see what was inside, and then record.
After looking at the kitchen of this house, I changed to another one and went to my neighbor’s neighbor’s house.
It's still the same as before, first go to the bedroom to check on the people, and make sure that they are also smiling and lying on the bed playing with the terminal, and then check the third kitchen aside, as if to confirm their daily necessities reserves.
Next is the fourth house, the fifth house, the sixth house...
In about five minutes, Su Ming investigated all the residents' homes on this street and determined a few things.
First of all, these people are hardly human beings. Their minds seem to be outside their bodies, and their bodies seem to be moving rigidly according to a certain established program.
These people will lie in bed after dark, go to the toilet to relieve themselves when necessary, or go to the kitchen to replenish water. Then most of the time they just stare at the projection screen of their terminal, watching various entertainment contents, or interacting with others on the Internet. Communicate with friends.
When Su Ming takes off their terminal, they will fall into a coma as if the power is cut off. When they put on the terminal again, they will return to normal.
It's relatively normal, just continuing to smile and be in a daze, still unable to communicate with everyone.
What Kara said before is probably correct. Their consciousness lives on the Internet, but the body is taken over.
Who is in charge? Dr. Manhattan or Blank? We don’t know for the time being, as long as we know that the humans here are very abnormal, and there must be something big behind it.
Let’s let it go and think about it slowly, and then let’s talk about the second discovery.
That was the victim's family, which had something extra that no one else had, and that thing was on the dining table.
"Jason, can you hear me?" Su Ming took out a small metal bat from his pocket, rubbed it and spoke to it.
This thing is a bone conduction earphone, but it's in the shape of a bat. He doesn't have the habit of wearing jewelry behind his ears, so he just needs to hold it in his hand when talking.
"I heard you, Deathstroke, is there anything you need me to do?"
The shock brought the answer of the person who stopped laughing. Jason may have been waiting impatiently in the Batcave, and his tone was a bit impatient. !
He wants to contribute his strength to his friends. Even if the blank matter has nothing to do with him, he is still willing to do it. This is not like the style of a mercenary. You must know that he does not want to wake up.
Or,
Did he take the medicine that Deathstroke gave him as a wake-up call?
"Help me check this deceased family. Do they have any consumption records for ordering milk?" Su Ming lit another cigarette and stood on the side of the road smoking. He looked up at the distant skyline, where there was only a faint light. of starlight.
The sound of typing on the keyboard came from the other side of the communication, and a few seconds later, Jason gave the answer:
"It's not on the Internet. According to my research, something is wrong with the people on the earth now. They seem to have lost their souls. Their bodies are controlled by something. If they live the most basic life of low desire, they will not order milk.
As I said before, door-to-door milk delivery is available every day in the United States, but you need to sign a contract with the dairy company and pay a deposit. Generally speaking, the order minimum is one month at least.
Compared with the boxed milk in the supermarket, bottled milk has no additives and is fresher, but apparently what comes with the milk this time is not very good for your health.
"The milkman is the murderer. I have basically confirmed that it is him. I should have thought of it a long time ago." Su Ming shook his head with a smile. He stretched out and said, "Now use your brother's eyes to help me hack into this street. Maybe Monitoring equipment exists to see where the milk truck comes from and where it goes.
"It will take a while, but I suggest you go and look at the milk bottles. Jason started Qianhuo, but also made a suggestion: "Different dairy companies have different details of the milk bottles and have different logos. Good luck. If so, there will also be a phone number for recycling bottles.”
"Oh? I really haven't noticed this. I haven't ordered milk." Su Ming threw out his cloak and motioned for it to go to the victim's house to get a milk glass bottle back: "Mainly because I either live in the Rocky Mountains , or it’s on the top of the Himalayas, and I’m afraid the milk won’t be delivered, haha.”
"The place where you live is also very unusual." Jason was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. He is a superhero. He quickly got over Alfred's death and has now cheered up: "It's a pity. Well, before everyone got into trouble, I wanted to buy a house in Gotham. Although I haven’t been a mercenary for a long time, I still have several million dollars..."
"But after the amnesia journey like a dream, you find that the U.S. dollars are all invalid." Harley also joined the chat on the public channel. She likes to see people unlucky: "It's so funny, so tragic, people are alive, but the money is gone. .
"The worst thing is actually that people are gone and money is not spent." Su Ming caught the glass bottle brought back by Cloak, turned it and looked at the thick paper round cover on it: "Okay, there is a phone number. In this way, Jason Please help me check where the registered address of this company is.""!
"It smells good. I found it and sent it to your communicator."
The person who stopped laughing finally laughed. Although it still sounded a bit forced, as long as people are still alive, there is still hope. How can you not laugh? "!
