Chapter 3448 The Son of Midnight (Forty-Seven)

Danny lay flat on the ground, gasping for breath. No matter how many times he called in his heart, the Revenge Spirit was as quiet as dead, and had no intention of responding to him at all. Even Ms. Francis was gone.

"Where did you get them?" Danny was still muttering in a low voice.

"I know you've been very close to that psychologist recently. You should take this opportunity to let him show you." Johnny leaned against the wall on the side, "If you go crazy, you'll be dead."

"I'm not crazy, everything I said is true!" Danny turned over and tried to get up from the ground, but failed. The wound on his hand hurt too much. The moment he touched the ground, his muscles instinctively contracted, causing him to fall to the ground again.

"I didn't say you were lying," Johnny said. "The Revenge Spirit can distinguish lies and judge a person's inner sins. In this case, why doesn't the Revenge Spirit support you?"

Danny was speechless and lay on the ground in dismay.

"You have investigated useful information, which may be faster than everyone else. Iron Man may still be debugging his equipment. Spider-Man has not finished working today. Moonlight Knight is watching the moon and thinking about life. I have not yet summoned human hands. Your progress is ahead."

"But that's useless. Danny, this is not a game that compares who runs to the finish line first. It's like you can't knock all the obstacles over and rush to the finish line in a hurdler. That's not victory, that's you crazy."

"But if I could investigate the clues faster, I could catch the mastermind!"

"Why do you want to catch the mastermind?"

"Because he is doing bad things! Or maybe he is going to do bad things, we have to stop him."

"Why do you want to stop him?"

"Because...because he might kill a lot of people."

"That is, you want to stop him in order to protect those who may be killed. But your stupid and reckless actions may kill more people. So what is the point of your efforts?"

Johnny squatted down, licked his back teeth with his tongue, and sighed, "Those superheroes you know are not as alert as you, not as smart as you, not as good as you, know how to find the truth. If they really can't match you, then you should be the one who has the final say now, but you are not."

"In your opinion, they hesitate and are too cautious. They have strong power but do not know how to make the final decision. They can solve the problem once and for all, but they always delay it. What do you think is the reason? Because they are evil? stupid? shirk responsibility?"

Danny shook his head blankly. From his eyes, he could see that he had never thought about this issue seriously.

Johnny stood up, flicked the ash aside, said nothing, shook his head and turned away.

Danny lay in place for a long time, and during this period he could not hear anyone's voice. There was no Revenge Spirit, no Ms. Francis, or even his own voice.

I don’t know how long it took to emptie, but felt the raindrops floating in the sky, Danny slowly turned over, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed a number.

"The signal's wave frequency looks fine. We may need to get a sample to disassemble it to find out the key." Jarvis looked at the reading displayed on the computer screen and said, "Wanda, come back first. Don't contact Miles, I suspect his spirit may have been affected."

Wanda looked at the message sent by Jarvis and felt a little unwilling to accept it, but she could only put away her phone and leave the community university with the abortion of the get out of class.

As soon as she walked out, Wanda felt some wet water drops on her face. She looked up and found that it was already dark clouds in the night sky and it was raining.

Jarvis, who stood up in front of the computer, also discovered the changes in the weather. The autumn rain in New York is very cool, and Wanda's body has not recovered yet, so he must not be wet from the rain.

Jarvis was anxiously running out with an umbrella, then turned to Schiller and said, "Doctor, the USB drive is in the second drawer on your left hand. You can copy the data by plugging it directly into the computer. I'll pick up Wanda."

Schiller also stood up, waved his hand, signaled him to go quickly, and then went to the drawer next to him to get the USB flash drive. Although Jarvis did not analyze any problems from the signals from this batch of teaching equipment, and the probability of others analyzing problems was not high, he still had to keep the evidence and might be useful during the trial.

While copying the data, Schiller's cell phone suddenly rang. He answered the phone and frowned.

"What? Where are you? OK, I'll go there right away."

After hanging up the phone, the data was copied. Schiller unplugged the USB flash drive, took an umbrella, and drove towards the Bronx.

Schiller was not familiar with the terrain here. He turned around for a long time before he found Danny who was soaked like a chicken at the entrance of an alley.

Schiller looked at the piercing wounds covered in mud and water on his hands and took a light breath. He stuffed Danny into the car and drove towards the nearest hospital.

But Danny seemed to feel no pain, and he pinched the door handle tightly with his injured hand. Seeing that his condition was not right, Schiller could only speed up. After all, no matter how powerful the Revenge Spirit is, he should not cure tetanus.

When I arrived at the hospital, I went to the emergency room. The doctor and the nurse took a breath when they saw the wound. The nails were inserted obliquely, and the wounds penetrated were very large, and the blood had completely dried up, and even the wounds could not be opened.

Danny was pushed in to break the tetanus injection. Schiller found Johnny's number in the phone book, but hesitated for a while and still didn't call. It is estimated that Danny shouldn't really want to see his brother now.

It was not until midnight that Danny was pushed into the observation ward. Schiller walked over and sat next to him, trying to call Ms. Francis out and ask what was going on, but after calling for a long time, there was no movement.

Now he was more convinced that Ms. Francis was not resurrected. The ghost they saw might be Danny's own fantasy companion, which was influenced by the power of the revenge spirit in his body, and became visible to everyone.

When Danny was in good condition, Ms. Francis was in good condition. But now that his mental state was so poor, his fantasy partner naturally couldn't come out.

Although the fantasy partner is his elder, Schiller has seen it several times and does not find it strange. He is just a little strange. Danny's growth environment is obviously happier than Johnny, but he is more willing to be stubborn than Johnny. It can only be said that the theory of environmental impact is not so accurate.

When the nurse asked Schiller to go in, he said that Danny's temperature was a little high, and he must have had a fever when he was in the rain. After getting the vaccine, he fell asleep in a daze. Schiller sat in front of the bed and waited for a while before he woke up.

"You're awake." Schiller poured him a glass of water and turned his hospital bed up a little to prevent him from falling asleep again. In this case, lethargy is not a good thing.

"Please, Doctor." Danny looked awake and seemed to have a lot to say.

"Nothing. Have you met a gangster? They hit you?"

Danny shook his head slowly. He reached out and touched the wound on his cheekbones, took a breath, but shook his head firmly again.

"Doctor." Danny suddenly turned his head and looked at Schiller and said, "You know a lot of superheroes, right?"

Schiller nodded and looked at him calmly. He didn't know what Danny was going to say, but he could guess it.

"Why do I think superheroes aren't that brave?" Danny asked.

“What do you mean by 'heroic'?”

"It is... fighting evil, fighting crime, seeing through and stopping the conspiracy of those bad guys."

Schiller asked, lowering his eyes, "Do you think they didn't do that?"

"No. I've read the news and I know they've stopped a lot of crimes. But... but when I got involved, I realized that they didn't seem to fight crime like that."

"How do you think they fight crime?"

"They should first confirm the identity of the criminal, search the criminal, find the criminal and knock him down, and then put him in jail. Isn't that the case?"

"Do you think they are doing this now?"

"Yes. I feel like they want to do that, but they seem...and seem a little helpless."

"There's nothing to do?"

"Yes. That's why I said they didn't seem as strong as I thought. They knew there was something wrong with the Bronx, but they seemed to be investigating it privately."

"What do you think they should do?"

"Of course, it's a more efficient approach."

"for example?"

"For example, Iron Man has many mechas, and he can send robots to investigate. Captain America is very influential. He can hold a press conference and call on others to help him investigate. The Moonlight Knight can do magic, and he can also use magic to investigate..."

"You're wondering why they don't do that, are you?"

Danny nodded and said, "This way you can find the mastermind behind the scenes faster, stop his conspiracy and avoid others from being harmed."

Schiller paused for a moment, crossed his fingers on his legs, and then said, "What you are confused about is that from your perspective, you think it's right to do this. But you are not a superhero. The superheroes didn't do this, but they are still superheroes. Why is that?

"You attribute this to you being less powerful than them, so another doubt arises. They are so powerful that if they do what you say, the result will be better, so why don't they do what you say?"

"Danny, your thinking and doubts are not a strange thing. Many people have the same questions as you. But you are the lucky one among them because you met me, a psychologist who happens to have a lot of superhero friends."

"If you haven't met me, these questions may never be answered. But since we both sit here and chat, even if I may not be able to give you a satisfactory answer, we can also use superheroes as a common topic to talk about your doubts."
