Chapter 77 The big event of the dead souls!
"It's expulsion rather than destruction, which makes me see the feasibility of the plan, Bruce!"

The moment Bruce finished speaking, Lucius, who knew how powerful he was, pulled Bruce into the Logistics Equipment Department, which is now the Science and Technology Research and Development Department.

Although Lucius and his department were pushed into the underground of Wayne Group, that does not mean that he lost all his capital.

No matter how unpopular his department was, the resources he had in the past were enough for him to turn the Equipment Department into a large underground organization no less than the Bat Cave!

The entire equipment department is even comparable to one-third of the area of ​​Gotham, and its depth extends to about 130 meters underground. The internal space is large enough for Bruce to drive fast here to his heart's content!

However, neither Bruce nor Lucius cared about superficial things, so as they walked, Lucius continued to talk to Bruce.

“Although the ghost appeared for a short time, I analyzed him immediately.

The information I have at present proves that death is not able to effectively restrain the souls of the dead, and can even allow the souls of the dead to be improved to a limited extent.

And refusing death is not the most troublesome thing about the ghost. Compared with the ability to refuse death, his ability to teleport away at any time and anywhere is the most troublesome aspect for me. "

"Moreover, there is no logic or pattern to the location of his teleportation. This is the real problem. However, our focus should not be on his ability to teleport, but why he teleports, Lucius!"

"indeed!"

Lucius nodded to Bruce appreciatively, then took Bruce to his computer.

After finding out Downton's information, Lucius continued speaking while opening various documents.

“Based on my investigation of his series of teleportation phenomena, I believe that his teleportation is based on a self-protection mechanism.

He does not possess the ability to teleport and disappear at any time and anywhere. On the contrary, his constant disappearance and teleportation is a self-improvement of his self-protection mechanism. "

"Yes, it's a self-protection mechanism. I'm glad you've seen this. I've been tracking and investigating the dead souls over the past two days, and I've indeed come to a similar conclusion.

I haven’t done a thorough investigation, but the data I have is pretty good.”

Bruce continued Lucius's words, then skillfully operated the computer, highlighting several video clips and playing them in a loop.

Bruce pointed at Downton in the video and said.

“Please note that the souls of the dead often perform unconscious and non-subjective instinctive teleportation before they are completely dead or even brain dead.

From this we can see that whether he transmits or not may not be entirely under his subjective control.

Combined with the other abilities he's shown, whether it's dying to become stronger or his fundamental strength of refusing to die.

All these abilities combined together are closely related to his overly perfect self-protection mechanism!"

"It's conceivable, Bruce, since all of Downton's abilities are tied to his self-protection mechanism, as long as we exert influence on his self-protection mechanism, we can naturally come up with a way to deal with him a little bit."

As Lucius spoke, he quickly made several models on the computer next to him.

At the same time, Bruce nodded slightly and continued.

"That's why I call the target expulsion. With the intelligence and technology we have now, killing him may not be realistic, but it's not that difficult to keep him expelled."

"Yes, we don't need to kill him, we just need to reduce the impact and trouble he caused."

Lucius took Bruce over and projected the simple model onto many screens, while Lucius continued.

“So, if you want to expel Donton, you must find many ways to continuously trigger his self-protection mechanism, and integrate all these plans into one device.

As long as such devices are placed in relatively important locations, the ghosts can constantly trigger their self-protection mechanisms, making them unable to approach the target location.

Of course, this cannot completely get rid of the influence of the dead souls, but guys like him can cause trouble even for God.

All in all, here are a few methods you can try initially.

The first is infrasound of corresponding frequency that can drive people into a state of madness. This kind of sound wave can make people lose their self-awareness within a certain frequency and fall into indiscriminate madness, but it was sealed by me because it is too dangerous.

I am worried that if this method fails to trigger the ghost's self-protection mechanism, it will instead cause the ghost to fall into a state of killing. Given his current physical condition, that would be too troublesome.

“Indeed, but I can try to change the frequency so that it only acts on the thoughts of the dead soul. The physical fitness of the dead soul is far superior to that of ordinary people, so his resistance to sound waves should also be beyond that of ordinary people!

Most importantly, this will also allow me to determine whether the self-protection mechanism of the dead soul exists in the mind and consciousness."

Bruce was making changes to Lucius's model as he was speaking, and he was still talking as he was making changes. "In addition, I also know of a special plant from the Himalayas that can cause people to fall into fear to the greatest extent.

Once we determine that the dead soul does have a self-protection mechanism in its mind, then fear may be used by us as one of the means to keep driving him away. "

"It's worth a try, but I need to test this plant. Do you have the corresponding ingredients of this plant?"

"Not yet, but we can get it in a day at most. I will leave for Nepal tonight and will be able to bring the target back tomorrow morning at the latest."

"Well, I will continue to synthesize the repelling sound waves here. I hope you can bring back the fear plant itself as soon as possible."

"I will, but the dead are not something we can expel with a few words. We cannot afford to fail, so two backup plans are far from enough!"

Bruce reminded solemnly, and Lucius nodded in understanding.

"Of course, in addition to his self-protection mechanism, there is undoubtedly an evolutionary mechanism in the revenant.

I think we can also target his evolutionary mechanism to create obstacles and traps for him.”

"Artificially manipulating evolution is indeed extremely dangerous, but this danger is just right for the dead."

Bruce confirmed Lucius's statement, and then made some additions to the model, while speaking.

“However, I just briefly looked through the technology model within the group, and it seems that we are not involved in projects such as biological evolution.

The Luther Group is the most prominent one in this regard. They have already reached in-depth cooperation with the military in the field of biological drugs."

"Gotham is facing a special period, Bruce. We really shouldn't covet Luthor's achievements, but we may be able to borrow the military's finished product data."

"Okay then. I will hack into the military network later and retrieve some internal data from the Luther Biological Pharmacy Laboratory and the Star Laboratory's Pharmacy Specialty Department."

"Besides that, Bruce, although science seems to be our most reliable support, theology should not be forgotten.

After all, the existence of the dead is magical enough. I even think he is more magical than Jesus!"

Seeing Bruce gradually finding the direction, Lucius couldn't help but remind him.

“Since the knowledge and technology we have are still unable to explain the source of all the abilities of the dead, why don’t we look for clues from history and mythology?

Therefore, Bruce, I suggest that the Wayne Group hold a worldwide theological and historical seminar and integrate all myths of various countries and races that are similar to the current abilities of the dead souls. "

"But……"

Hearing Lucius' words, Bruce instinctively resisted.

But before Bruce could say anything, Lucius interrupted him and continued.

"Don't say buts, Bruce. After the emergence of such a magical existence as the Revenant, I can't imagine how much of the world's history has been hidden.

If a person like the Revenant appeared in the past, he would obviously become a god in the story, but of course, he would be more likely to be a terrifying demon king.

In short, as we get closer to defeating the Revenant technologically, we need to bring together historians and mythologists from around the world, as well as renowned archaeologists in the field, to dig into the possible origins of the Revenant.”

"All right!"

After listening to Lucius' words, Bruce thought for a short while and then nodded heavily.

“It’s only been two days since the Revenant appeared in Gotham, but he has already affected the normal operation of Gotham. If he continues to act recklessly, even the United States and the world will have to deal with him. Such a huge trouble.

This is not Gotham’s own trouble, it is a global event that will have a huge impact. I would like to name it the Revenant Event!

Let me see which famous scholars are currently qualified to be invited by us.

Matthew Sandra, Kent Nelson, Paul Watson, Tean Dury and Diana Prince to name a few. I need you to sort out the list tonight.

After the board meeting tomorrow at noon, I will ask the group to establish the project and send out a general invitation to the global archaeologists listed on your list.

As for now, I have to go to Nepal to look for that horrible plant!"
