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.
The moment Xue saw him, countless information flowed through his mind. Batman looked at him and asked: "What are you allergic to?" This was not a special tone, just like Batman used to say, He used a question to express himself, and he found a certain fact, and he didn't expect anyone to answer it.
"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 was 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. Even if there is still no answer to a question, the demeanor displayed by that moment of hesitation is enough as evidence, which is an all-too-common negotiation technique.
Batman Xue didn't feel nervous, his attitude seemed a bit weird. 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 across from 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 are preparing weapons." He affirmed again and again. Even when he saw the person opposite putting the tie back on his neck, his affirmative attitude did not waver.
"A detective or murderer who just came back 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." Bat. It was rare for Xia to say such a long series of words. This time it was an affirmative sentence, but on the contrary, it revealed doubts.
The picture on the screen of Xue Siwei Palace 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 always seems to 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 broke away easily, so I had no choice but to run back along the most familiar path." Bruce nodded and did not continue speaking, but he was just pulled into the theater Clark still looked confused. He spread his hands and said, "Who can 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 with Batman, and the tower of thought that existed in his soul naturally 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 you and I are the only ones present who 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, all Don’t all human souls have to be destroyed?!” Constantine sighed and said, “Have you forgotten what I said before? There is a hole in the ground of Schiller’s tower of thought that leads directly to the dream world. If something happens, we will still Can't you run?" 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 at it 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's condition was not very good, but he felt a little surprised. Yes, the other party did not hide this, and the feeling of weakness followed him like a shadow.
Xue
"Did you just see how high I fell from?"
"More than two meters."
"Thank you." Batman saw the man across from him raised his head and let out a long breath. He put one hand on the wall next to him and seemed to be a little unsteady. Looking at this situation, Batman said, "Your heartbeat is beating." Your breathing and breathing conditions are normal, there is no abnormal skin reaction, it is not a physical allergy, you can go 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 meddling in your own business. This doesn't look like you." Bruce replied. Staring at him, as if expecting what he would say, 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. However, if the rabbits look similar to the hunting target at first glance, or even more cunning foxes, then the best way is to remember Come back next time after you are fully prepared for its characteristics and haunting locations." After hearing these words, Jason shuddered, greedily smiled again and said, "It sounds a bit 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
"Hate 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 leisurely and leisurely way he came here is completely different from the rage, impulsiveness and passion... This is the real Batman." Bruce stared at the Batman on the screen quietly, his turning movements were very firm, and his steps were smooth. No hesitation, not like 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 thread. Gotham’s evening clock in the streets, in every dark corner.
"Wait a moment." The voice came from behind Batman. Batman's footsteps paused, followed by another affirmative question: "...you are not from Gotham?"
"I know that criminals in Gotham must abide by the rules. I shouldn't stop you at this time. This is very damaging to the atmosphere." Batman Xue's slightly painful breathing became stronger and stronger after hearing this sentence. 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."
"Aren't you good at school?" It was 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 walked forward, supported the suspicious stranger, and held one of his arms. , 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 beside him.
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 where he was, just turning his head to look at Schiller, who was sitting next to Shi Shiran. Schiller put his hand on the armrest of the chair, gently picked his index finger, and pointed the fingertip at Bruce's collar. .
Bruce looked down and saw a little popcorn residue on his collar. His alarm bell rang ten thousand times in his heart, but he still felt that this was a father reminding the troubled child. It was too natural and too close, and he felt guilty that it would be impolite if he didn't respond. .
Xue
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..." He laughed softly and looked at the screen again and said, "Let's talk about Batman."
