Where the death knell came from is a secret, and in the old days, when asked, he always said that he was from the Earth of Origin.But that's not the whole truth, he does have the memory of that death knell, but much earlier, living in some ordinary world without superpowers.There were only two people who knew about it, and one of them was himself.Su Ming was very sure that he hadn't told anyone where he came from, and at the same time, he didn't have the habit of talking in his sleep at night, so it was impossible for this information to leak out from here.Then the other person who knows about it is the only one.Dr.
Manhattan, it was his intervention that allowed Su Ming's soul to merge with that one death knell, gain a new body, and be trapped in an unknown place for an unknown amount of time, and finally suddenly collided with Barry who was running, fell into minus 11 on the earth, and started his own story.When this suspect comes to mind, many things can be said to make sense in an instant.Of course, the second sister has said that Manhattan is dead before, and this information is definitely correct, because death is one of the most real states in this universe, at least much more real than dreams.No emotion is reliable, all thoughts can go wrong, but death is a very serious thing for anyone.She said that Dr.
Manhattan was dead, so he must be dead, so Su Ming began to conceive along this line.Dr.
Manhattan represents quantum, and when he first saw the death knell, he said an important clue, which was, "Quantum is everywhere."
In retrospect, perhaps that was the tip he left behind, and then the enemy he had to face at the moment was called "blank......
Blank literally means nothingness, so in contrast to the "omnipresent quantum", she is "nothing, so not there", so Su Ming has a guess that the concept she represents should be the other side of Dr.
Manhattan.As a person with little culture, Su Ming named this concept anti-quantum, but even his junior high school education knew that there was no such thing as anti-quantum in the world.In 1900, Planck was the first to get a glimpse of quantum in the study of thermal radiation, and at the end of that year, he announced his great discovery at the meeting of the German Physical Society--- the hypothesis of the quantization of energy.According to this hypothesis, in the process of emission and absorption of light waves, the energy changes of the emitter and the absorber are discontinuous, and the energy value can only be taken as an integer multiple of a certain minimum energy element, and this smallest energy unit is called "energy particle", or quantum for short.Since it is the smallest unit, it means that it cannot be split again, and therefore, it is not divided into positive and anti-particles with different charges like other particles.Quantum does not distinguish between positive and negative, so Dr.
Manhattan, who represents quantum, should not have a negative personality or an existence that is opposed to his concept.But non-existence is true, because the existence of the blank space itself is a collection of concepts that do not exist.When she thought of this, Su Ming had basically deduced the identity of the blank, and coupled with all her other previous performances, the more she looked at it, the more it looked like something that Dr.
Manhattan could do.For example, helping people fulfill their wishes.What Dr.
Manhattan can do, people who are familiar with DC probably know in their hearts, in short, quantum is almost omnipotent.The blue bald giant was called a man-made god in the past, so it makes sense that the blank space corresponding to him can do the same as God's deeds, right?
Another example is to make everyone forget that Superman exists.Dr.
Manhattan has done something similar, isn't he the one who made the DC multiverse "rebirth" event, it's okay to say that the story hasn't been rebooted, but Superman is the most important thing in the rebirth event, he was killed by Manhattan and reshaped, a new Superman.Not N52 Superman, not P52 Superman.In my previous life, there was a saying on the Internet that the "rebirth" event was called a soft restart, which meant that there was a scope and limited changes to the settings of some characters.When this big event happened, Su Ming hadn't crossed it yet, he was reading a comic, and the story was summarized in a nutshell, that is, suddenly one day, Manhattan felt that the fallen and dark human beings were hopeless, and he wanted to destroy the multiverse, lest the human race be used as a weapon by Pepetuah in the future, at least there was no pain in dying in his hands.So because of this reason that he can't be humane, he clashed with Zhenglian and ruthlessly killed everyone.However, after he defeated Zhenglian, he saw the light of hope of mankind in Superman who died in battle, so he gave up the idea of destroying the multiverse with absolute rationality, and combined all the advantages of all Superman stories in history to shape "Reborn Super, on this basis, reweave the story of DC Diversity 1, and also throw the Watcher's friends into the earth 0 to live together."
He then erased or modified the contradictory and unintelligible stories, and many people's stories and memories remained unchanged, while many were changed unconsciously.For example, in the story of Diana, in the P52 period, Diana is the daughter of Hippolyta, but the father may or may not be Zeus, anyway, it is very vague.By the time of N52, she had become Hippolyta's clay-kneading child again, only to be brought to life by Zeus with thunder and lightning.But after being reborn, Xiao Dai became the *** product of Hippolyta and Zeus again, because the scumbag was worried about being discovered by Hera, so this illegitimate daughter has been hidden on Paradise Island and grew up.Xiao Dai doesn't remember anything about these changes, she only remembers the latest "setting" about her life experience now.Even her origin story has changed, let alone Donna, the sister-in-law's character has undergone eight changes since she appeared in the story, and the character changes so frequently that it is comparable to the huntress on the Gotham side.A reboot in the conventional sense means that everything is restarted, all characters have amnesia, and the story and setting of the past are all lost, while a soft reboot is much smaller.This is also the reason why Su Ming especially likes to talk about Martha Terriers.Because every time the DC universe is rebooted once, or a character related to Batman is restarted, then Batman and his mother will die once, and the tragedy in the crime alley, Su Ming can't remember how many versions he has seen in his previous life.To get back to the point, if the rebirth event is really a small reboot, then Superman plays a key role in it, and there are only four people who know that Reborn Superman is one of the keys to the universe, Su Ming himself, Batman and Diana of Earth 0, and Dr.
Manhattan himself.Blank sent her subordinates to attack the Justice League, and the first target was Superman, which means that she thinks Superman is the most important, and this view is the same as Manhattan.At the same time, she has turned Superman away, can it also be seen as a kind of soft reboot in the smallest scope?
In short, there are some details, all of which point to the common ground between Blank and Dr.
Manhattan, and under the guidance of these clues, Su Ming naturally locked Blank's identity, and that's it.
