Chapter 1844: The Madman's Journey (Twenty-Two)

After having the initial idea, Schiller started to try almost non-stop. In order to ensure the safety of the attempt, he did not leave Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, but stayed with Professor X, so that he could stop himself if something unexpected happened.

The gray fog quickly changed the magnetic field around Schiller according to Schiller's request, and at the same time, another personality other than Greedy, who controlled the body, surfaced.

There are two results if you do this on weekdays. If Greedy voluntarily leaves work, he will be replaced by another personality to take charge of the body. But if the personality that controls the body now is unwilling to return to the tower, then the other personalities cannot come up.

But this time, Greedy had another feeling. He felt like the part of water at the top of the water pipe. When the faucet is turned on again, he can seek another place to live outside instead of staying in the body.

Following this feeling, Greedy's ghost successfully left the body. According to Professor X's observation, it has been tuned into a mutated soul, which is the so-called ghost.

In the next attempt, Schiller found that this ability was not so convenient. It also had various limitations. He also found a very strange phenomenon, that is, people with pathological personality traits are more suitable for becoming ghosts, and they will become more powerful after becoming ghosts.

Schiller and Professor X discussed this point. The two top psychologists believed that the words "evil ghost" and "grudge ghost" that have appeared in human beings since ancient times are not without reason.

When humans are in extreme emotions, brain waves will change. According to Professor X's observations over the years, extreme negative emotions are stronger than extreme positive emotions, and brain wave changes are more intense. In other words, emotions such as anger, resentment, and hatred will change human brain waves to a greater extent.

The two speculated that human brain waves in extreme negative emotions are more susceptible to magnetic fields, and they are more likely to become ghosts. The ghosts that become ghosts also cause changes in brain waves, and produce special properties, becoming more powerful.

In the abyss under Schiller's tower, there are also many personality traits that are almost not independent, but represent the most extreme negative emotions, such as resentment, killing, destruction, and destruction.

These can't even be called personality traits, because the nature of their existence is destined to make them irrational, and they can't float up in normal ways. Most of them are mixed in with pathological conditions, and are more like fuel for some violent behaviors.

These ghosts that are transformed from fragments in the deepest part of the abyss can be called evil ghosts, and they are the kind of evil ghosts that chase souls and take lives.

Of course, other personality traits are not impossible to become ghosts, but becoming ghosts is not very meaningful. There are two main reasons. The first is that ghosts have no body, and it is inconvenient to do many things.

And existing in a state of nothingness is more dangerous. Not to mention anything else, many natural phenomena in astrophysics can destroy ghosts without leaving any residue. The reason why ghosts are afraid of light is because solar radiation affects magnetic fields and radio waves.

Another problem is that personality traits that tend to be positive or neutral cannot be possessed.

As mentioned before, the brain waves of humans change more when they have negative emotions, and the brain waves change less when they are in positive emotions.

This means that it takes longer and is more difficult to synchronize with the brain waves of positive emotions, while it is much easier to synchronize with negative emotions. Therefore, ghosts transformed from extremely evil emotions are more likely to possess.

Ghosts without entities cannot affect any substance in reality, so possessing others through brain wave synchronization becomes the strongest means of attack. In other words, only ghosts transformed from evil are meaningful.

But then again, Schiller has never been a fighter. He is used to solving all problems before fighting. If he has to fight, it is mostly just a formality.

So what is the point of releasing those completely irrational evils to turn into evil ghosts? Schiller can still get things done without releasing them to fight.

At this time, Schiller found the key point.

Schiller can carry gray fog, which can create magnetic fields, and magnetic fields can affect ghosts. So can these ghosts who have left their bodies carry gray fog to continuously create a magnetic field that can control other ghosts?

Transforming yourself into a ghost to fight and gaining the ability to control ghosts are two completely different things.

After parting with Professor X, Schiller used the out-of-control child ghost he met with Nick at the base before to do an experiment, and found that it was just as he expected.

Each of Schiller's ghosts can carry a part of the gray fog, that is, a magnetic field control device. All ghosts wherever he goes will be affected by the magnetic field and thus driven by him.

In short, Schiller became the king of ghosts.

But Schiller still has an experiment to do. After all, the essence of doing so many things is not to strengthen his own fighting power, but to better serve as a psychologist in the world of superheroes and specialize in more effective treatment plans for superheroes' difficult and complicated diseases.

So Schiller found Eddie.

Schiller's idea is to use ghosts carrying gray fog magnetic fields to approach patients, and then use special magnetic fields to affect patients' brain waves, so that they can avoid compulsively recalling those terrible memories, and then stabilize their mental state so that they can accept other treatments.

But the trouble with this treatment is that once the patient feels the magnetic field of the ghost, he will inevitably see the ghost, and he must not be afraid of ghosts.

There are only a few people in this world who are not afraid of ghosts. According to Schiller, the members of the Avengers are more or less afraid of ghosts, even Natasha has a Russian superstition, and most other people are afraid of jumping on their faces.

There is no way to do this. Fear is originally a kind of danger warning. In a sudden attack, no matter what the opponent is, humans will be more or less afraid.

So Schiller chose Eddie, because Eddie has a good partner, that is Venom.

Venom is not a human being, fear is not his instinctive reaction, he is not afraid of ghosts, and can help the host to expel the fear of ghosts in time.

In this way, Eddie can be affected by the magnetic field, but he will not react too strongly when seeing ghosts and scare himself into problems. He is simply the best candidate for the experiment.

In this way, Schiller tricked Eddie into going on a business trip with him.

So why did he bring Stark with him? The answer is actually very simple. To treat patients, you first need a stable treatment environment, and the zombie virus must be solved.

Schiller was busy observing the results of the experiment and had no time to get the antidote for the zombie virus. Since the nanorobots in the original book were made by Iron Man, he might as well bring an Iron Man with him, so he wouldn't have to worry about the zombie virus.

In this way, Eddie and Stark were tricked by Schiller respectively. Although the arrival of Helen and Spider-Man was not in Schiller's original plan, with Helen, solving the zombie virus became a simpler matter.

On the edge of the Bronx, New York, in a temporary base composed of an abandoned food truck, Helen, Eddie and two Spider-Men are discussing how to solve the problem of the earth's terrorist revival.

"That group of zombies really don't bite people anymore, but we still face two serious problems. First, they activated the teleporter and brought so many monsters to this universe. The Avengers of this universe will not sit idly by."

"When the superheroes come, these zombies possessed by ghosts and going crazy may hurt them. There are not so many ghosts to possess the superheroes of this universe, and the zombie crisis will still break out in this universe."

"Second, the original universe can't be left alone. There are still many zombies there that have not been dealt with. If we solve it one day later, the zombie virus will infect a larger area. We have to solve the first problem quickly and then go back to solve the second one."

Spider-Man's thinking is very clear. He pointed out the biggest problem this group of people has faced so far. Everyone fell into thinking and wanted to find the most efficient solution.

Helen frowned and said, "This is a typical trolley problem. If ghosts are not allowed to control the zombie superheroes to go crazy, they will bite people on purpose to spread the zombie virus. But if ghosts are allowed to control the zombie superheroes, they will go crazy like this and will definitely attract the Avengers of this universe. Then the tragedy will happen again."

"That's enough." Zombie Spider-Man spoke in a much lower voice. He said, "I left the plan to outsiders other than you, but now everything is beyond my control. I don't know if they have come to this universe."

"Maybe you should find a way to leave." Zombie Spider-Man stared at the outside of the food truck and said, "The zombie virus will not escape from these two universes, so even if the tragedy happens again and again, it will not affect your universe."

"Don't talk nonsense." Spider-Man raised his voice and said, "We have to save you and these two universes, and we are doing it."

At this time, Helen touched her chin and said, "Do you think it is possible to combine this matter with mysticism?"

The two Spider-Men looked at her at the same time, and Eddie also set his eyes on Helen. On her face, Helen analyzed: "Indeed, we can use scientific methods to explain ghosts, but mysticism is also real, and I am one of the users of divine power."

"Mysticism has been studying ghosts for much longer than science. Since the conclusions drawn by science are also in line with mystical learning, does it prove that some methods of dealing with ghosts in mysticism are actually useful?"

"For example?"

"Exorcism." Helen said while thinking: "Ghosts are attached to zombie superheroes, so we can make some things that ghosts hate to drive them away from the crowd, or simply make them very weak."

"In this way, we can cooperate with the healthy Avengers of this universe to capture the zombie superheroes possessed by ghosts. As long as the problems in this universe are solved, we will naturally have enough time to solve the problems of the zombie universe."

"But the question is what are ghosts afraid of?"

Helen's eyes fell on Eddie's face. Eddie glared at her and said: "Why are you looking at me?"

"Do you still need to ask this? Seeing that you are afraid of ghosts, you must have watched a lot of ghost movies. Think about it, what are ghosts afraid of?"

Eddie mumbled hesitantly, and was about to say "You slandered someone's innocence out of thin air", but Venom betrayed him and spoke before Eddie: "Yes, he took up my time watching plasma films every weekend night and insisted on watching those ghost movies from the last century. Every time he was scared, he scattered my cheese balls all over the floor."

"Shut up! Parasite!"

"I'm telling the truth! Apologize now!"
