At this moment, Greedy, who was standing behind Strange, widened his eyes, because he remembered that the last time he saw Morbidity's eyes like this was when Morbidity met Batman for the first time.
Illness rarely looks at anyone. Most of the time, I don't care. The rest is knowing that seeing and remembering them has no meaning. The vast majority of people in this world have no regard for the progress of Schiller's individual life stage. If it doesn't work, there's no need to look at it.
This kind of indifference is one of the morbid manifestations of autistic patients. The disorganized state they often display in childhood is not a complete mental disorder, nor is it the auditory or visual hallucinations produced by schizophrenia that blinds their normal mind. Knowing that someone is calling them, they also know that someone needs to respond.
They don't respond, they just think it's boring or meaningless, so some people call autism apathy.
As Schiller's morbidity, the people whom morbidity focuses on and wants to see clearly are naturally the people he thinks may be meaningful to Schiller or who are of interest to him. In short, it can be summarized as being useful to him. tools and toys that keep him entertained.
Batman is the former, and Constantine is the latter, but obviously, morbidity doesn't go over well with anyone's exploits or research process, and that's certainly not the case for Schiller himself.
The moment Strange blurted out those words, Greed knew something was wrong. He had witnessed the whole process of how Batman was pathologically selected, and then he and Pride tortured each other for four years.
Greedy rushed forward, grabbed Strange's arm and tried to pull him away, but Strange seemed to be planted into the ground. No matter how Greedy pulled him or winked at him, nothing happened. Not moving at all.
The greedy heart is broken. To say which one is crazier, Batman or Doctor Strange, the answer is of course Batman, but it must be the mature Batman in the popular stereotype.
At first, Arrogance faced a little bat who had just entered college. His worldview was not very mature yet and could easily be shaken. There were also many loopholes in the logic of fighting criminals, which were easy to see and be punished. Exploited.
But Strange is already the complete body of Doctor Strange, or the ultimate evolutionary body. His worldview is completely mature and the whole set of logic is very self-consistent. More importantly, he does not have Batman's moral bottom line.
In most worlds, Stephen Strange can hardly be called a righteous man in the traditional sense. The number of notorious blood-pressure-spiking immoral things concocted by the Illuminati can be said to be second only to the number of crimes committed by the Illuminati. Strange's flexible moral bottom line is indispensable to Reed.
When he was working as a top surgeon, the arrogance and superiority that were engraved in his bones did not weaken much because he became a mage. At the same time, there was also the inevitable pettiness and grudge.
Thinking of this, Greed recalled the good old days when he was chased dozens or hundreds of times by superheroes over New York City because of an umbrella and his arrogance. Not everyone has the willpower of Batman's DC dad. Tolerance and arrogance have tortured each other for so long.
"All Schillers are the same person." Ill said: "We just have different personality traits. It is meaningless to pursue infinite possibilities with individual traits. We all need to work hard for the development of Schiller as an individual."
"Then why work hard?" Strange asked a question, but his tone did not sound like he wanted to answer. As expected, he quickly asked and answered himself: "The so-called acceptance of emotions through greed and thus imitation is nothing more than Become like most ordinary people.”
"I am also a doctor, so I know that the vast majority of patients in this world are pursuing normality. Some patients even ask me at the last second when the anesthesia takes effect, whether they can live like normal people after the operation."
"The people who lie on my operating table are not worried about whether they can cope with daily life after surgery. They are so afraid of defects because they are afraid of abnormalities."
"Even normal people are always worried that they don't fit in with the crowd. Even geniuses who are far beyond ordinary people always want to find a sense of identity in the group." The breathy sound in Strange's tone makes you feel It was as if the wind was blowing another story into what he was saying.
"So why can't you imitate it?" Pathological asked. He looked into Strange's eyes and continued: "You know how pale and weak those so-called arguments that are not afraid of worldly judgment are. Since you have the ability to pretend to be They don’t blend in with them, so why bother explaining their own abnormalities?”
Strange's expression suddenly relaxed. He looked at Illness and said, "This is actually a compromise, right? You still love them, so you choose to cover up your abnormalities and join them."
"I don't know how you understand love, I don't care about them."
"If you really don't care, if you really don't love at all, and just hate them as much as you say, and they're tired of explaining, then why not get over it once and for all?"
Illness frowned in a very rare way. Strange looked into his eyes and took two steps back, turned to look at Adam behind him and said.
"I threw the severed arm into the barrier of the big world through the passage leading to the big world, and now it exists in the body of a certain Stephen Strange who just lost his arm in the big world."
"It is part of my body and soul. If I want, I can immediately become one with it, replace a certain Strange in a certain universe, and then tell everyone about all the good things you have done in this universe. Your colleagues in the world.”
Adam's eyes widened instantly. He stared at Strange and said in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Have I ever offended you?! The Supreme Mage!!!"
"Not before, but if you reject me next, then there will be." The muscles of Strange's lower eyelids twitched slightly, looking more sick than sick.
"Turn everyone in the universe into autistic patients. I know you can do it. If everyone is abnormal, then everyone will be normal."
Greedy also looked at Strange with wide eyes, and the words he almost blurted out were "Are you a little too extreme?!"
"Do you want me to make a choice?" He narrowed his eyes in a sick and rare way. When he stared at Strange, his excessive concentration was full of sickness.
"If, as you said, you created greed just to be a normal person, then what I do can completely satisfy your wish." Strange turned back again, this time he walked closer to the pathological state, not at all She met his eyes without fear and continued.
"But if I choose such a path for life in the entire universe, then Schiller's goal of giving life in the entire universe the possibility of unlimited development may never be achieved."
"If I become the culprit who locks the fate of mankind, then all Schiller's efforts so far will be in vain, civil war will still happen, everything will return to the original point, and the sick human civilization will have no future. "
"Then, do you want the greedy creature you created to fulfill his mission faithfully so that Schiller's abnormality will never be noticed again, or do you want him to give up his excessive emotional craving so that I will not do anything to treat him? Such an extreme thing happened, making him sad and disappointed because he couldn't achieve his goal?"
Strange kept staring at sickly eyes, and sickly stared at him intently. After a moment of silence, sickly lowered his head and laughed deeply.
"Very good." Ill nodded and said, "Amazing."
But Strange did not relax his gaze at all, as if he must get an answer from Illness, who looked at him with smiling eyes and said.
"But what makes you think that I controlled and manipulated Greed to become so greedy and resistant to treatment?"
Strange was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and looked at Illness with an incredulous look, Illness smiled and sighed and said, "Sorry, just to be fair, I have set such a trap for arrogant students. .”
Greedy next to him covered his eyes and sighed deeply. Strange turned to look at him, as if he wanted an explanation. Greedy snorted coldly and said: "The simplest verbal hint can be expressed as soon as it appears. I want to show my special features to attract your attention, and then use me as a reference to put myself in a higher position..."
"Stephen Strange, have you never received a scam call from someone claiming to be a shareholder of Stark Group?"
Strange's eyes widened, he glanced at Morbidity and then said greedily: "So it's not him controlling you..."
"When did I say that I controlled him?" Ill said with a smile still on his face, he said with a little more emphasis: "I only said why I created him, but I never said what his mission must be. There's nothing he can't change."
Greedy walked over, put a hand on Strange's shoulder and said, "Forget it, I don't blame you, the other student of mine is not much better, it's a tie at best."
But when Greedy raised his head, he saw sickly's slightly malicious smile, and then sickly said.
"What personality traits will transform into has nothing to do with me. It is entirely their own wish. Since you are determined enough to destroy the world for greed, what is there that you cannot change?"
Greedy immediately turned around and stared at Illness with wide eyes, but Illness raised his chin at Strange and said, "I like your determination very much. You guys can talk, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he walked out of the theater without looking back, leaving only Strange and Greedy staring.
Soon, Greedy discovered that the malicious expression he saw on Strange's face was probably not his imagination.
At this time, sickly, who had followed the elevator to the first floor, raised his head and glanced at the patio railing on the second floor. Arrogant was standing there and signaled with his eyes that there was movement at the door of sickly.
Someone was knocking on the door of the Tower of Thought, and a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Schiller, open the door! Schiller! Are you there? Open the door quickly!"
After Ill opened the door, Tony Stark stood outside. Stark was slightly startled when he saw Schiller, who was obviously different from his friends, frowned and said, "Who are you? Is Schiller there? ?”
"I am also Schiller," Ill replied.
"Okay, I know you guys, I mean, is the Schiller I know here?...Wait, what's your relationship?"
Stark's animal-like intuition made him feel a chill down his back when he looked at the strange Schiller in front of him, and Illness showed a smile and said: "I am Illness, what do you want to do with that little greedy guy?"
"'brat'??!!"
Standing next to the patio railing on the second floor, Arrogance looked at Stark's shocked expression and showed a proud smile.
A tie? Greed fails miserably! Who gave him many friends?
