I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Depp and Bruce, who were mixing the neutralizing agent, immediately turned around after hearing a hissing sound of gas leaking behind them.

A thick, almost sticky, pale yellow toxic gas filled the air with terror!

"Holy shit!" Depp blurted out.

Bruce was also a little confused: "Are you sure it wasn't this thing you made that caused the gas leak?"

"Bullshit! My neutralizer couldn't possibly have a problem!"

Because the gas was so fast and intense, Depp was surrounded by it before he could even get some air to disperse it, and he inhaled it several times.

It must be said that Jonathan's improved second version of Fear Gas is many times more effective than the first version!

Furthermore, because the gas in the entire warehouse was released at once, the concentration was extremely high. Even though the bat mask was specially designed to provide protection against the gas, Bruce was still affected by the fear of the gas.

He collapsed to the ground, completely demoralized, clearly gripped by immense fear and grief.

Bruce, leaning against the wall, kept muttering, "Dad... Mom..."

Looking at Bruce's expression, Depp couldn't help but shake his head: "Poor kid..."

But then I thought about it again, and realized that I've never even met my parents since I transmigrated here... Damn it, who isn't an orphan at some point?

Wait a minute, Depp suddenly realized something was wrong!

Even Bruce, wearing a gas mask, was affected by the terrifyingly high concentration of toxic gas. Why was he completely unaffected?

There was even a slight feeling of excitement in the cerebral cortex!

It's like the feeling after you create lightning each time you use your mutant abilities without overexerting yourself.

It seems that using Ororo's ability to control natural weather requires the brain to constantly analyze any subtle changes in the surrounding weather and elements. Combined with the brain's super-fast computing ability, this has caused a mutation in the brain, making it able to resist most poison gas attacks and mental attacks.

Even under the influence of the toxic gas, his brain became excited, and Depp could clearly feel his mental strength slowly increasing.

Although the growth is extremely slow, it is certainly better than nothing.

Realizing this, Depp took a deep sniff, and his scalp tingled with a pleasant numbness.

"Comfortable!"

His eyes rolled back slightly, causing the surrounding air to circulate, trying his best to gather all the fear and poison near his nose.

As Depp inhaled the toxic fumes of fear, goosebumps rose on his skin!

At that moment, Jonathan, wearing a scarecrow mask, also entered the apartment. He saw a person standing in the shadows, his face obscured, surrounded by poison gas, his eyes closed and his body trembling slightly. He also saw Batman in the corner, murmuring tears.

Jonathan smiled and thought, why do these rat-like creatures have to sneak into my house to get themselves killed?

The low-end version of Fear Venom caught Bruce off guard and he was hit unexpectedly. This super-duper version will surely make you both die of pleasure.

"No one can emerge unscathed from this level of terrifying gas, not even a fully armed Batman!"

Jonathan thought proudly. He first glanced at his warehouse. Although he had released the Fear Gas, he had not released the Fear Poison.

Although a lot of poison gas was wasted this time, as long as these highly concentrated venoms are available, we can dilute and separate even more terrifying poison gas than we did today.

After inspecting the warehouse, Jonathan nodded in satisfaction. He turned back to look at the two guys who had sneaked into his house. As he approached them, he realized that the guy standing there was someone he knew.

"It seems to be the guy I met at Selena's charity gala... I think his name was Depp?"

Jonathan muttered to himself as he moved closer to Depp, only then hearing Depp's trembling, whispered words.

"So good! Mmm, this feels amazing!"

Jonathan: "???"

Hey bro, are you alright? This is toxic gas, not some cheap drug from the mob. What are you enjoying?

Can you please show me a little respect? I'm a psychology professor and chemistry whiz at Gotham University.

Jonathan thought for a moment,

Could it be that the production of this batch of fear gas failed?

Looking at Bruce in the corner, who was still muttering about his parents, Jonathan shook his head. No way!

As Jonathan was gripped by shock and self-doubt, Depp opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of pale yellow stale air.

"Damn, I really went all out!" Depp said, still feeling a bit unsatisfied. "I inhaled too much at once, which actually caused my mental strength to stagnate."

In other words, the fear gas could no longer stimulate Depp's mental strength.

He ignored Jonathan in front of him and walked straight into the warehouse across the street. Anyway, apart from possessing the Fear Gas, that guy was a complete weakling.

With the fear that the poison gas would have no effect on him, Depp wasn't worried at all that Jonathan would escape right under his nose; he could even allow Jonathan to run 39 meters first before chasing him.

Although the canned fear gas in the warehouse was released, the bottled fear venom did not leak and remained neatly stacked on the ground as before.

Depp went to the warehouse and got an unopened bottle of Fear Venom. Looking at the liquid inside the bottle, which was slightly darker in color than the Fear Venom gas, Depp's eyes lit up!

Although the Fear Gas no longer had any effect on enhancing his mental strength, it doesn't mean that the Fear Venom, which was concentrated countless times, was also ineffective.

When Jonathan saw Depp pick up a bottle of Fear Venom, he immediately guessed what the psychopath was up to, and his composure completely crumbled. He yelled:

"What are you trying to do? Do you know what this is? This is fear venom that is nearly a thousand times more concentrated than fear gas!"

"You don't want to drink this, do you? No way, no way, no way?"

"Stop it right now! You can't drink this stuff!"

Depp didn't even glance at Jonathan, simply pulled out the cork, tilted his head back, and started drinking.

ton ton ton ton ton ton!

"Fuck you, what kind of monster are you?!"

Jonathan felt this scene was absolutely surreal!

As soon as the Fear Venom entered his stomach, Depp immediately felt the difference; this stuff was much stronger than the previous Fear Gas.

And this time, it wasn't just a tingling sensation on his scalp; Depp even felt a tingling sensation on his foreskin.

The growth of mental strength was also much faster than when he inhaled fear gas.

Feeling the increase in his mental strength, Depp downed his drink in one gulp.

He then threw the empty bottle on the ground, kicked Jonathan, who was lunging at him, to the ground, and opened another bottle.

"Knock it on, this stuff tastes amazing in your mouth!"

Seeing Depp down another bottle, Jonathan broke down in tears and sat on the ground.

He felt that all his research over the years had been a complete joke!

The terrifying venom that I painstakingly researched over the years was just drunk like a beverage by some guy!

I need to drink two bottles in one go, otherwise it won't be enough.

What kind of mess is this?!

On the other hand, after drinking more than half of the newly opened bottle, Depp realized that his mental strength had stopped increasing again.

"Looks like the Fear Venom has lost its effectiveness too." Depp looked somewhat disappointed, then bent down and pried open Jonathan's mouth, pouring in the remaining Fear Venom.

Thumbs up!

"You can drink the rest yourself, don't waste it."

Jonathan, who was being forcibly given the drug, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Damn it, which of us is the psychopath?" He turned and looked at Bruce, who was cowering in the corner, and roared like a madman, "Where's Batman? Where's Batman? Come save him! Stop cowering in the corner calling for your mom!"

After swallowing the venom, Jonathan, unlike Depp, didn't have any superpowers, and the fear deep within him immediately overwhelmed him.

Jonathan once accidentally inhaled a small dose of fear gas during an experiment. On that occasion, dozens of crows suddenly swarmed in front of him, scaring him so much that he wet himself.

That's right, Jonathan's fear was of crows.

Now, Jonathan felt as if he were in a wheat field.

In the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky and the earth gold, and countless crows swarmed over the golden ears of wheat bathed in sunlight, darkening the sky.

The flock of black crows seemed to cover the entire sky, but Jonathan did not feel the slightest bit of the fear he had once felt.

This immediately filled him with joy: "Haha, I've overcome my fear! This thing can't hurt me at all!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the flock of crows in the sky immediately dispersed to the side, creating a huge circular gap in the middle.

At the gap, a huge face familiar to Jonathan slowly pressed down on him...

Seeing the face slowly approaching him from the sky, Jonathan broke down, tears of fear streaming down his face, and his crotch was immediately soaked.

He retreated on all fours, howling in terror and pain, "Get out! Get away! Stay away from me!"

"Please! Don't come near me, Depp!!!"

Chapter 53 Still Two People Together

Seeing Jonathan's miserable state of groin and wetting himself on the ground, Depp felt no pity or guilt whatsoever.

Just for the fact that this guy locked up so many people here, and even used the elderly and children as his experimental guinea pigs, Depp felt that even tearing him to pieces wouldn't be enough to atone for his sins.

First, they taped Jonathan's mouth shut as he kept crying and screaming. Then, they controlled the airflow around him and collected all the fear gas in the air into an empty canister to prevent other people in the apartment from being harmed.

After doing all that, Depp started mixing the neutralizing agent again.

Bruce is still under the influence of the drug and can't be of much help for the time being.

To be honest, it's quite worrying.

After mixing seven or eight barrels of neutralizing agent, Depp had just finished neutralizing the fear gas.

Looking at the remaining Fear Venom, Depp was at a loss.

Because compared to fear gas, fear venom requires a much larger dose of neutralizer, and the raw materials in Jonathan's lab simply don't have enough!

After thinking it over, Depp figured that since the thing couldn't stay there any longer, he simply stuffed the remaining unneutralized Fear Venom into his backpack, intending to take it home and study it.

Bruce had also come to his senses. He wiped away his tears and drool from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and asked, "Did I just get infected?"

"In that case, yes," Depp said as he injected the neutralizer into the last vial of Fear Venom.

Bruce looked embarrassed and said, "I... um... did I say anything weird?"

“Not at all,” Depp said, carrying a backpack full of venomous fear. “After you were poisoned, you were quite quiet, just squatting there silently crying.”
