Chapter 1261: A Pair of Lonely Figures (Part 1)

The dark alley was not completely dim in Batman's field of vision. He had already activated the night vision equipment on his mask, so he could see very clearly the posture of the man opposite who suddenly fell from the sky. Xue

The moment he saw him, countless information flowed through his mind. Batman looked at him and asked, "What are you allergic to?"

This wasn't a special tone, it was just like Batman used to express himself with a question. He found a certain fact, and he didn't expect anyone to answer.

"It has nothing to do with you." Unsurprisingly, the other party showed resistance. Batman stood still and asked the next question:

"How many people have you killed?"

Of course, this is not a question.

After getting a negative answer to a question that the other party cannot answer, immediately follow it up with a fatal question. People with good intentions and conscience will feel guilty for answering the other party's first question, and then seriously consider whether to answer the second question. a question,

Even if there is still no answer, the demeanor displayed by that moment of hesitation is enough as evidence, a very common negotiation skill. Xue

Batman wasn't nervous, and his attitude seemed a little odd.

It's like after finishing a big meal, you find that there is a small dessert left on the table, so you fiddle with your fork intentionally or unintentionally. It's also like seeing a cat digging through the trash can on your way home at sunset. Take some leisure time to think about the philosophical meaning between the city and the beast.

Batman saw that after the man opposite him got up from the ground, his first action was to hold his somewhat loose tie, use his fingers to pull the tie out of the crooked tie knot, and then remove the tie that had been stained by the rain. The tie was taken off his neck.

"You're preparing your weapon."

He said affirmative words again and again, even when he saw the person opposite putting his tie back on his neck, his affirmative attitude did not waver at all.

"A detective or murderer who just returned from Mexico was thrown from a height of three meters. He was recalling contents related to the FBI in his mind. At the same time, he was a teacher who had just finished writing a lesson plan."

It was rare for Batman to say such a long series of words. This time it was an affirmative sentence, but on the contrary, it revealed doubts. Xue

The picture on the screen of the Hall of Thought was fixed on the blue eyes under the mask. Barry stood up suddenly, ran to the side of the screen, pointed at Batman's face with great grievance and said: "Look, he is like this! He It seems like you can always predict the future!”

"Is he the Batman of your universe?" Bruce asked. It was just a simple question, but it made everyone present feel a little uncomfortable. After all, the voices and lines of Bruce and Batman on the screen were not much different. But the tone is completely different, which always makes people feel like they are from another world.

Barry nodded, and then said: "You said Professor Schiller could easily break free, so I had no choice but to run back along the most familiar path."

Bruce nodded and did not continue speaking, but Clark, who had just been pulled into the theater, still looked confused. He spread his hands and said, "Can anyone explain to me what happened? Didn't you say that you want to treat Professor Schiller?" Where are the others? Bruce, can you tell me what happened?"

"Haven't you seen it yet? He has his own treatment plan." Constantine, who was sitting in the front row of Clark, turned around and said, "He took your good professor to another universe."

"But, but aren't we in Professor Schiller's mind palace now?" Clark didn't turn around: "Are we going to other universes together?"

"You can understand that Professor Schiller returned to the tower of thought because he was allergic to broccoli, but at that time his body was still in the fields of Mexico." Bruce explained. Xue

"Barry used the Speed ​​Force to take Schiller's body through the universe to another universe where Batman exists, and the tower of thought that exists in his soul naturally also traveled through the universe."

"However, there is a hole under Schiller's thinking tower that connects to the dream world, and after the dream god Morpheus left, he gave me part of the authority." Constantine then said: "So, our souls can Go to the bottom of the cave through the dream world, and then enter Schiller’s tower of thought.”

"And there is more than one Schiller in the Tower of Thought. I and another Schiller with higher authority will open the door for you, and you will naturally come in." Greedy threw a piece of popcorn into his mouth and said.

"So now it's equivalent to our soul being transported to another universe by Schiller's body?" Clark concluded after thinking for a while.

"Others are like this, but you are different." Lucifer, who was sitting at the front, straightened the feathers on his wings and said, "Your soul is special. There is no way for them all to come in, otherwise the tower will be blown down by you. , so only you and me are equivalent to a consciousness projection, not all souls."

Clark nodded, but then he raised his voice and said, "Isn't this very dangerous? If something happens to Schiller's body, wouldn't everyone's souls be ruined?!"

Constantine sighed and said: "Have you forgotten what I said before? There is a hole in the ground of Schiller's thinking tower that leads directly to the dream world. If something happens, won't we run away?" Xue

"What? Professor Schiller is in danger, and you actually plan to run away?" Jason turned to stare at Constantine and said, "You bad guy!"

"Did you meet me on the first day?" Constantine curled his lips and said, and then he muttered in a low voice: "He is in danger. Of course we should run away quickly, otherwise he won't beat us too?"

"Coward!" Harley commented categorically, and then she and Jason stared at Constantine with unkind eyes.

Constantine took a breath, looked again and said, "How can you be so arbitrary? Do you know what happened to me?"

"Okay, stop arguing, it looks like someone is going to be in trouble." Greedy said with a smile.

"Good evening, prophetic Batman."

Batman heard a slightly hoarse voice. From the breathy sound between the words, he could tell that the other person was not in a very good condition, but what surprised him was that the other person did not hide this. That kind of The feeling of weakness is always there. Xue

"Did you just see how high I fell from?"

"More than two meters."

"Thanks."

Batman saw the man opposite him raising his head and letting out a long breath, putting one hand on the wall next to him, as if he was a little unsteady. Looking at this situation, Batman said:

"Your heartbeat and breathing are normal, and there is no abnormal skin reaction. It is not a physical allergy. You can see a psychiatrist."

After saying that, Batman turned and left.

In the theater of the Hall of Thought, Bruce raised his eyebrows. Greedy, who was sitting next to him, handed the popcorn bucket to him, looked at him and said with a smile:

"It's weird, isn't it? You clearly saw that Schiller might be a serial killer with a shady background and very suspicious circumstances, but you still turned around and left without wanting to meddle in your own business. This doesn't look like you."

Bruce turned to stare at him, as if expecting him to say something noble. Greedy turned his head back and continued to look at the picture on the screen and said, "But this is exactly the skill that a seasoned hunter should master."

"Hunting is not an outing. Before hunting begins, hunters should understand what their biggest goal is today. After completing the goal, they should stop in time instead of continuing deep into the mountains and forests because there are still a few bullets in the gun. "

"On the way home, if you encounter a few rabbits, you can take a shot at them. But if the rabbits look similar to the hunting target at first glance, or even more cunning foxes, then the best way is to remember Its characteristics and haunting places, come back next time after you are well prepared.”

Jason shuddered after hearing these words, Greedy smiled again and said:

"Sounds a little creepy, why?"

"Because the hunter and the prey are different species, the hunter also knows this in his heart. He knows that no matter how sharp the fangs and claws of a fox are, it is impossible to defeat a hunter with modern weapons. Defeat is not 'if' but 'sooner or later' , in this case, why rush?" Xue

"The hatred that has been brewing for a long time will turn into something else." Greedy stretched out a hand, pointed at the top of his head and said: "A higher level of overlooking and contempt, a true coldness, which brings about The casualness and calmness are completely different from the rage, impulsiveness and passion... This is the real Batman."

Bruce stared at Batman quietly on the screen. He turned around very firmly and without any hesitation in his steps. It didn't look like he was leaving at all.

In Schiller's field of vision, the pressure from the back is stronger than from the front.

In an extremely calm and elegant manner, the Dark Knight reminds the criminals who are watching him that you have been targeted, and every move, word and deed you make will speed up the day of execution, like the law that permeates every Gotham’s evening clock in the streets, in every dark corner.

"Wait a moment." The voice came from behind Batman, and Batman paused.

What followed was another affirmative question from him: "...Aren't you from Gotham?"

"I know that criminals in Gotham must obey the rules. I shouldn't stop you at this time. This is very damaging to the atmosphere." Xue

Batman's slightly painful gasps became stronger and stronger when he heard these words, so he turned around and looked at the man leaning against the wall.

Batman frowned slightly, as if he was measuring whether his judgment just now was wrong. From the front, this uninvited guest from the sky looked like a Gothamite, but he didn't follow the rules.

"It's not that I don't understand the rules, it's just that I'm powerless right now. So, kind-hearted Batman, can you do me a favor?"

Batman looked at him silently and said, "I told you, you should see a psychiatrist."

"I'm a psychiatrist."

"Are you not good at studying?"

Another affirmative sentence. When Batman saw the person opposite him clenching his fist slightly, he knew that he had a weapon for the next hunting. Xue

"Please take me to the hospital, Batman."

Hearing the gritted teeth in the other person's tone, Batman didn't pause at all. He quickly stepped forward, supported the suspicious stranger, took one of his arms, and helped him into the car.

"Are you a little surprised?" A deep voice sounded behind Bruce. When Bruce turned his head, he saw Schiller in a dark green striped suit walking to his side.

Greedy, who was holding the popcorn bucket, shrugged and said, "You guys talk first, I'll ask Hal about the green light energy." "

Bruce sat in his original position, but turned his head to look at Sick Schiller who sat beside him. Sick Schiller put his hand on the armrest of the chair, gently raised his index finger, and pointed his finger at Bruce's collar.

Bruce looked down and saw a little popcorn residue on his collar.

His alarm bells rang in his heart ten thousand times, but he still felt that this was a father reminding his carefree child, too natural, too close, and then he felt guilty that it would be impolite if he didn't respond.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it..." Sick laughed twice, looked at the screen again and said, "Let's talk about Batman."
