At the top of Schiller's Thought Hall, the tall Kongsu sat cross-legged on the edge of the top of the tower, with a newly repaired staff on his lap. The huge Jörmungandr snake head was leaning near Kongsu. The two of them They were all staring at a room in the tower.
The posture of the two of them at this moment was only one step away from the old men enjoying the shade under the big tree after eating. It would be more like them if they had a bag of melon seeds.
But Rex's state in the room they were staring at was the complete opposite of their relaxed posture.
Some people should still remember that Batman's exam content was one of the masterminds behind the murders in Gotham University, and Lex's opponent was Schiller.
Of course, it wasn't DC Schiller himself. DC couldn't beat the youth version of Luther himself. He asked Moonlight Schiller to beat him.
However, there are good reasons for this. First of all, Rex is different from Batman. What he has to face is not the gang of villains who only know how to talk, nor the clown who kidnaps and forces Batman to make choices every day. What he faced was Superman, the incarnation of justice.
If Lex is destined to face Superman in the future, the first lesson he has to learn is not how to be a good villain, but how to save his own life while minimizing damage.
Superman is unlikely to kill Rex, but just like an adult elephant telling you that he means no harm and just wants to play with you, Rex wants to cause trouble in Metropolis. The first thing he needs to learn is how to Dance with elephants without getting trampled to death.
In terms of strength alone, Moonlight Schiller is definitely not as good as Superman, but if he really gets a Superman, then the price of Lex's exam would be a bit too high. Donating the tuition fees for the two experimental buildings would not be a big deal. More than enough to make up for the damage caused by a nuclear bomb exploding in Schiller's mind palace.
Moreover, simply being blown up would not provide Lex with any experience. On the contrary, being chased and slashed by Moonlight Schiller would help him learn how to find an escape route for himself as quickly as possible.
At this time, Schiller, carrying an umbrella and knife, was wandering at the entrance of an alley. In order to create a fair examination environment, there were restrictions on both parties in this room.
First of all, Moonlight Schiller can only see objects illuminated by the moonlight. He cannot see or touch anything hidden in the shadow.
As for Lex, he could only move where there was moonlight and could not move in the darkness.
This created a situation where Rex was hiding in the darkness. Moonlight Schiller couldn't see him, didn't know his location, and couldn't touch him even if he guessed it. He could only wait outside the alley.
The situation has reached a stalemate, but obviously DC Schiller, who arranged this exam, had already expected it. At this time, Kongsu, who was sitting at the top of the tower, realized that the time was almost up. He flicked his staff with his finger. Instantly, the moon in the room began to move slowly.
As the moon moved, the position of the moonlight naturally changed, and the position of the shadow also changed. Lex, who was hiding in the shadow at the end of the alley, was illuminated by the moonlight. At that moment, he rushed out, and the umbrella knife flashed with cold light. , "Zila" sound, blood splashed.
Lex left a scar on his back, but at the same time, he rushed out of the alley. When he came to the street, he found that he was very unlucky. At this time, the moon was hanging high above his head. , all the buildings' shadows were only a thin strip.
The space there was not enough for him to stand, but without much time to think, he ran straight towards the stairs of the nearest building.
The building is inaccessible, but the stairs outside the building can be climbed. The shadow at the corner of the stairs is enough for Lex to fit in.
This kind of fight in the dream is not to train his fighting ability, nor even to train his body. The only thing that can improve is his mental strength.
During countless runs, choices, and hidings, his mental strength will become stronger, his reactions will become more sensitive, and his willpower will also increase.
Facing Superman, improving one's force is useless, because no matter how powerful one is, one cannot be stronger than Superman. Instead, mental strength and mental stability are more important. Even using more agile thinking to develop equipment is more important than improving physical strength. Superman's fist must be strong.
This battle is not without an end. What Lex has to do is to persist in each scene for half an hour. This is actually not too difficult, because in this room, Moonlight Schiller is only at the physical level of an ordinary teenager. Compared with Lex is stronger, but his strength is limited. The only advantage he has is the umbrella knife in his hand.
However, what makes Lex feel most troublesome is Moonlight Schiller's ubiquitous sense of oppression.
Even though he knew that as long as he stood in the shadows, Schiller could not touch him, but when Schiller walked towards the shadows, Lex still felt his heartbeat speeding up and he was covered in cold sweat.
It seemed to be an innate aura, like a hunter who specializes in hunting humans. During the constant chasing and hiding, Lex began to observe this aura carefully and learned how to use his posture. Put pressure on your opponent.
At this time, in the dreamland, Schiller turned to Constantine and said: "Go back to the ship first, find Captain Schiller, and ask him to sail you back. I want to take Morpheus to visit my home. , we’ll see you later... Oh, by the way, don’t forget to bring Clark with you.”
After Constantine, Clark, Batman and Victor left, Schiller stretched out his hand and said to Morpheus: "Please."
The two of them walked along the dreamland to the bottom of Schiller's thinking tower, and then went up along the hole they had made before, to the ground level of the thinking tower. This was also the first time that Morpheus entered this tower. Before, he had only glanced at it from a distance.
"It's a little more deserted here than you think, isn't it? But actually, that's because many of me are still on that ship, and it will be lively when they come back." Schiller introduced.
"But it doesn't matter. You're probably not here to get to know my other personalities this time, Jormungandr? Jormungandr? Where are you? Didn't you say you would have guests today? You were so excited to be a tour guide before …”
Schiller shouted for a long time before the huge python slowly slid down the inner wall of the tower. At the same time, Kong Su also descended.
The most important reason why Kongsu stayed in Schiller's mind palace was that Moonlight Schiller directly killed him, causing him to be wanted in the Egyptian pantheon. Schiller also drove a boat and knocked the heaven into chaos. Kong Su can't go back to his hometown, so he can only stay here.
When Kongsu saw Morpheus, they seemed to have sensed something from each other, but they instinctively did not discuss the topic. Instead, Jormungandr, a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, circled Morpheus a few times. He clicked his tongue and said, "Look, it's another victim. Isn't your body also destroyed by him?"
Morpheus raised his head and looked at Jormungandr's huge snake head, seeming to be thinking about something. But at this time, Jormungandr said: "I am the great earthly python Jormungandr! I was also the first one to come. God here! I am your senior, I must tell you the rules here, I want to sleep at the top of the tower, you'd better not..."
As soon as Jörmungandr said this, he saw a black and gray Siamese cat appearing in Morpheus's arms. Jörmungandr was stunned for a moment. He knew cats as creatures, but he I don’t understand what Morpheus wants to do when he suddenly conjures a cat.
But soon, he knew, because after the cat opened its eyes, it began to get bigger and bigger, until it pressed Jörmungandr to the ground with a paw.
Schiller looked up at the giant Siamese cat and said, "Is this the dream of a thousand cats? I thought there would be a lot of cats."
"There are many. This is the incarnation of their collective consciousness. Maybe you don't know that the entire world was originally ruled by cats, but because humans collectively had a dream, the collective consciousness changed reality, so humans became the masters. Cats Became a pet.”
"The Dream of a Thousand Cats is the collective consciousness of cats, but the little guy you see now is an entity that has inherited the collective consciousness of cats. It is called the Dream of a Thousand Cats. Of course, you can also call him Xiao Hei."
Schiller looked up and looked at the huge cat that held Jörmungandr down with one paw, feeling that the adjective "small" might not be very accurate.
Just when Morpheus, Schiller and Kongsu stood side by side, looking up at the cat-catching-snake drama, in the room where Moonlight Schiller and Lex were, because Kongsu, who was responsible for controlling the position of the moon, left, The position of Moonlight has not changed for a long time. Lex hid in the shadow of the stairs and did not dare to move. Moonlight Schiller stood at the bottom of the stairs and waited.
When he discovered that the position of the moon had stopped moving, Lex breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he could hold on until the next scene change. However, after a long half hour passed, the scene did not move at all, like a game stuck. Like that.
Moonlight Schiller was not very good at waiting. The quality he lacked most was patience. When he found that Kong Su was not working, he became a little impatient and began to try to break through the limitations of the room and communicate with Kong Su directly.
However, Kongsu was communicating with Morpheus, and the two of them had a lot in common, because one was the moon god and the other was the dream god, and the moon and sleep can also be connected. The changes in the moon phase are related to different dreams. There are also connections.
The communication between gods is not just talking. When Kong Su fully experienced the changes in the moon phases and dreams, he did not realize that the pope he had chosen as the most capable was now completely impatient.
Just when the battle between cats and snakes was coming to an end, and Jörmungandr was about to escape as expected, he only heard a "bang" and a loud noise in a room upstairs, followed by building debris flying out. The moment he connected with Kong Su's power, the huge sword light flew downstairs.
As we all know, no matter what kind of cat they are, no matter what state they are in, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are prone to stress.
Qian Mao Zhi Meng, who was concentrating on playing with snakes, didn't notice what happened above his head at all. Then he felt a "swish" sound, his head felt cold, and a huge sword flew past his right ear, slicing it off. It lost a tuft of ear hair.
“Meow!
!
! "
The cat's frightened scream was heard, and the Thousand Cats' Dream exploded all its hair in an instant, arched its body, raised its tail, and even its claws popped out.
With a "bang", the huge cat scattered into hundreds of kittens, and then instantly engulfed Schiller's thinking tower.
At this time, a low horn sounded, and the ship from the underworld that had just returned slowly sailed into the parking space next to the tower.
Marvel Schiller, standing on the bow of the ship, watched helplessly as the tower was submerged by a group of cats.
He saw his house flash twice and then disappear.
