Chapter 290 The Game Begins

In the darkness, Bruce felt that he was falling down all the time. The strong feeling of weightlessness and dizziness surrounded him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

His limbs and body were completely out of control until he finally landed on the ground when the long darkness and falling made him dizzy.

Instantly, Bruce woke up.

After the last incident, Bruce set an alarm in his consciousness. Once he fell into a dream, or once someone tried to interfere with his dream, he would wake up immediately. Now, Bruce immediately realized that he had entered a dream.

He looked down and saw that the floor under his feet was intertwined with black and gold, and then he looked up and saw endless floors above his head.

The dull sound of heels stepping on the floor surrounded his ears, and Bruce turned around and saw Schiller's figure.

The professor was dressed like usual, wearing a long windbreaker and a tie, but his head was a rotating globe.

"Professor..." Bruce narrowed his eyes, and he thought of what Schiller said to him when they parted today.

"'Have a good dream', do you mean you want to come to me in the dream?"

"I'm sorry, Bruce, I entered your dream without your consent and dragged you here."

"But I still have to say... welcome to my palace of thought."

Schiller stretched out his arms and showed Bruce everything. Bruce looked at him and said, "Is this the tower that descended into the depths of my consciousness last time?"

"Yes, they have all come in to visit, only you haven't, but obviously, your visit will be a little different from theirs..."

"What?" Bruce asked.

"Others bought round-trip tickets, but you only have a one-way ticket here. If you want to go back, you can only climb to the top, otherwise you will be trapped here forever..."

"Really?"

Bruce looked up and snapped his fingers. In an instant, he sat up from the bed.

Since the last serial dream, Bruce has set up a series of very complex mechanisms in his brain to achieve the effect of waking up immediately once forced into a dream.

At this moment, he heard a knock on the bedroom door, and Schiller's voice sounded outside the door: "You don't have to try to use the mechanism in your mind, it's a complete waste of your energy, because I didn't just hypnotize you, but borrowed from the sleep demon and pulled you directly into the dream, you can't wake up..."

Bruce closed his eyes, and in an instant, the scene collapsed, and he sat up from the bed again.

Schiller had opened the bedroom door and stood at the door looking at him. Bruce fell down again, and then sat up again, and Schiller was still there.

Bruce frowned and repeated the process of getting up, just like doing sit-ups, but no matter how many times, Schiller stood at the door and looked at him.

After countless times, Schiller knocked on the door frame with his hand, making a sound to attract Bruce, and he said: "If you can't understand this, then I'll tell you in another way that this is part of the psychology class homework..."

But Bruce completely ignored him and was still trying to wake up, even though the repeated mental stimulation had made him pale and sweaty.

Batman's character determines that he can't trust anyone, nor can he let anyone spy on and manipulate his dreams at will.

Schiller said to him: "Stop."

Bruce stopped for a moment, turned his head to look at Schiller, and saw that the professor's face gradually turned cold.

Schiller looked into his eyes and said: "Bruce, you have been in my class for so long, why don't you understand..."

Bruce looked into his eyes and said nothing, and then he heard Schiller's tone drop:

"... In my class, no one can fail to hand in homework."

As soon as the voice fell, his figure disappeared, and in an instant, another terrifying figure appeared in front of Bruce's door. He was wearing a red and green striped sweater, one of his hands was a sharp iron claw, the skin was like red muscle that fell off after being burned, and a terrifying scream came out of his mouth.

Bruce didn't even see his movements clearly, and the sharp blade on his finger pierced his chest. In the severe pain that was exactly the same as the real thing, he woke up from his dream again.

This time, a man in black with a white mask and a dagger appeared outside his bedroom door. More importantly, he also had his own entrance music. When the "thump thump thump" music sounded like a heartbeat, Bruce rolled under the bed to avoid the dagger with a cold light, and then elbowed the knee of the tall killer from the side, but in the end he still failed to avoid the dagger with a cold light.

When Bruce sat up from the bed again, he turned over and got out of bed in an instant, and this time, a man wearing a stick and ball mask and holding a machete appeared outside the door.

This time, Bruce successfully caused him harm. He used a sharp candlestick to pierce the man's chest, but unfortunately, he only took two steps back, and then swung the machete again and chopped at Bruce.

After waking up again, a terrifying killer with human skin sewn on his face and a chainsaw appeared in front of him...

This time, Bruce did not choose to fight him head-on. Instead, he threw a handful of glass fragments at him and jumped out of the window into the rainy night of Gotham.

When he landed, he looked up and saw a flash of lightning across the night sky. In the brief light, he saw the huge tower standing in the city center, like a silent black giant.

At this moment, he heard Schiller's voice ringing in his ears:

"Bruce, originally, I just wanted you to climb the stairs in my mind palace. This is the best choice for a fledgling vigilante to exercise willpower and thinking ability."

"You can only climb one floor a night. This is just a very easy homework. You have at least two years to complete a long-term project..."

"But now, Bruce, you are trying to avoid doing homework, so I can only use a less humane way..."

"I will let every bad boy who doesn't do homework know what the consequences will be... The game begins, Bruce."

In the end, Schiller's tone was colder than the rainy night in Gotham. At the same time, Bruce saw that in the dark alley at the entrance of Wayne Manor, another lightning flashed

A man wearing a white mask and holding a dagger walked towards him quickly. A monster wearing a striped sweater and an iron claw in one hand was lying on the wall and smiling at him. The roar of the chainsaw became louder and louder. When the machete attacked, Bruce almost didn't see his movements at all, and darkness attacked again.

This time, Bruce did not return to bed, but returned to the door of Wayne Manor, where four terrifying murderers were still waiting for him outside.

Bruce was unarmed, and there was nothing around him that he could use, so he had to get through them with his bare hands.

And Bruce saw that behind the alley, in the deeper darkness of Gotham, there were countless terrifying eyes staring at him.

The rain in Gotham was getting heavier, following the fine rain line upwards, and after passing through the thick clouds, there was a ceiling covered with stars above his head.

After crossing the ceiling, there are seats in the theater. Yin Wensi, who was leaning on the chair, shuddered. He turned around, made a cross on his chest, and said to Schiller: "Professor, I swear I have never missed an assignment! I have done every assignment well! I swear..."

Cobolt also swallowed his saliva. He was considering whether to cross Gotham University off his list of candidate universities. Victor touched his temples and turned to Schiller and said: "Fortunately, this is a dream, right?"

"These killers you made up are quite interesting. Not only do they have their own characteristics, but they are also very interesting. , and seems to have its own set of behavioral logic..."

"...Wait, that's fictional, right?"
