Chapter 1730 Bruce Wayne and the Prisoner of the Batcave (Thirteen)

Chapter 1704 Bruce Wayne and the Prisoner of the Batcave (Thirteen)

Although the literary expression is "staring into the abyss", what Greedy did after the version update was not just to learn the knowledge of the Outer Gods, or to say that learning knowledge is actually just a means. The original purpose of Greedy's entire plan came from his recent trip to the abyss.

A few months ago, Greedy returned to the interior of the tower room and carried out version innovation with the help of Gray Mist. Because Batman and Iron Man's wisdom was also divided into a part of Gray Mist, so after that, they often studied weird science theories together in the tower room.

On this day, Greedy, who had been staying in the room for a few days, wanted to take a breath. He walked out of the door and entered the elevator, and then found that there was an extra button at the bottom of the elevator floor button, which said "minus 1".

Greedy raised his eyebrows. When he was hesitating whether to press the button or not, the elevator door opened and Superego walked in. Greedy pointed at the button and asked, "You really put the elevator to the bottom? Aren't you afraid that they will climb out together?"

"They can climb out even without the elevator." Superego shook his head and said, "But they did ask for the elevator, mainly because the hole made by Pride in the floor is too inconspicuous. There have been more than 60 accidents in half a year where personality traits fell headfirst. Pathology can't stand picking up garbage in the abyss, so it's safer to get an elevator."

"I think so too." Greedy nodded. The head said: "Sickness only seems more dangerous in the original world. In the world of superheroes, what does mental illness count for?"

Then he asked curiously: "Can I go down and take a look? I haven't really seen what it looks like down there."

"There's nothing to see, but if you want to go down, remember to bring the gray fog with you, so that you don't need someone to rescue you when you can't get up."

So, Greed took the elevator with the gray fog and came to the surface of the Mind Tower, that is, in the subconscious. There was a vast darkness here. If you don't step on the reversed floor, you can't reach the abyss.

Greedy originally wanted to visit the abyss, but he was distracted by other things on the way. He stepped on the opposite side of the conscious floor, pointed to his head, that is, the deeper part of the subconscious mind and asked: "Why do I feel that there is something there?"

"It's not your illusion." The gray fog floating beside him replied: "The original owner of this body left a bunch of messy things in our subconscious."

"No one cares?"

"They are not very interested." The gray fog shook his body and said: "It looks like a pile of rubbish, with few useful things. Pride took a look last time, but didn't find any clues."

Greedy licked his lips, rolled his eyes and said: "The garbage is a treasure that has been put in the wrong place. It's not easy to come down once, can't we go and take a look? Let's go and take a look."

The gray fog and greed flew upward together, or continued to sink into the depths of the subconscious. As the light of the elevator became smaller and smaller, they had reached the depths of the subconscious. The darkness here was more intense, but some shadows were faintly revealed in the depths of the darkness.

Greedy was like a treasure hunter. He and Gray Mist approached the shadows together, and then found that just as Gray Mist said, most of them were some meaningless rags, leaves, oars, olive branches, star rings, and pieces of paper. These things floating in the depths of the subconscious seemed to have no practical value.

Continuing to float down, Greedy saw a shining feather. Of course, he knew that this was the one that the original Schiller had pulled from Lucifer, but he just took a look and left.

Instead of continuing to go down, he carefully searched above the feather. After crossing the darkness, Greedy found that a scale was quietly floating in the subconscious.

Obviously this is not a fish scale, it is larger and harder than that. There is no color in the subconscious, so no more clues can be found from the scale itself.

"There should be something that can be used, right?" Greedy said to himself. Obviously he was unwilling to give up. He felt that since the original Schiller left so many things here, these things must have some use value. Greedy is always like this. There is nothing in this world that he can't squeeze dry.

After hesitating for a while, he was still unwilling to give up, and finally decided to take the risk and continue to sink with the gray fog.

The depths of the subconscious are actually nothingness, which is the edge of self-existence. Once the consciousness collapses collectively, it will fall into this nothingness, and then begin to weaken self-consciousness, and gradually lose awareness of its own existence. This is also the symptom of consciousness withdrawal shown by many mental illnesses, so it is dangerous for any personality trait there.

But the creed of greed has always been the most daring, but he also knows that the superego actually guessed that he would do this, otherwise he would not let him bring the gray fog. If there is any danger, the gray fog can at least pull him up.

Slowly sinking, the darkness gradually disappeared. This is a hollow area. All personality traits that enter this place will gradually lose the existence of everything.

Greedy could stay here longer because of his paranoid nature, but that didn't mean he could stay there forever. After staying in this space full of confusion for a while but searching in vain, Gray Mist reminded him, "I think we should go up."

But Greedy was like a diver who was running out of oxygen but couldn't find the pearl, and he was still unwilling to give up.

After another half a while, Greedy was sure that there was nothing here and he had reached the edge of the danger line. He finally decided to give up, but he didn't let Gray Mist take him up quickly, but planned to float up slowly by himself.

When he approached the surface of the void zone, his self-consciousness had almost been exhausted. It was like a dream. As long as he woke up from the dream, he would be intact. The dividing line from the void zone was right in front of him, and he could float to the surface and regain oxygen in less than a second.

But at this moment, Greedy felt an echo coming from the endless void.

Because he wanted to listen carefully, he completely stopped his floating action. I don't know how long it took, like a year or a second, when he appeared again, he was lying on the ground of the Mind Tower.

"You scared me to death!" Gray Mist exclaimed softly and sadly, circled around Greedy's body, and then said: "I thought you could float up by yourself, so I was a little distracted, but I don't know why you stopped by yourself. You almost got soaked, you know?"

Greedy shook his head gently, and he found that he heard the echo, just on the edge of self-consciousness disappearing, and now this echo stayed in his mind.

It was not a sentence, but more like conveying a thought, and Greedy was surprised to find that he found the pile of tattered instruction manuals.

The thought was short and not complicated. It can be summarized in the most concise language in one sentence-"This sheep has never been plucked, remember to pluck it in the future."

Greedy still remembers that the original Schiller borrowed a lot of debts, and then directly blew himself up and ran away, forcibly refusing to pay, and left all the energy he had borrowed before to the current Schiller. Although Greedy felt that he did not do this entirely to save the Soviet Union, and there might be other plans, but that pile of energy was real.

At the beginning, Schiller's understanding of mysticism was not particularly deep, so he could not judge the approximate value of magic energy as a universal currency. The energy seemed to be a lot, but if the inflation in the magic world was serious enough and too much energy was spent on doing things, then it was actually not a lot.

After dealing with the magic world of the two worlds for a period of time, Schiller found that although this ball of energy was unexpectedly huge and had even caused a qualitative change, the amount was not too exaggerated if we looked at the original Schiller's actions of plucking all the wool.

Now Greed knows that the original Schiller did not plucking all the wool. It seems that some sheep escaped by luck, but it is more likely that the original Schiller felt that the wool was not long enough at the time, so he planned to raise it and then plucking it, and then he ran away, and he didn't have time to plucking all the wool.

As an expert in plucking wool, Greed can almost perfectly empathize with the original Schiller's grief of not plucking all the wool after the man left. This grief is even more heartbreaking than his own death.

For any miser, the most terrifying thing is not that the person dies without spending the money, but that he knows he is going to die but does not borrow all the high-interest loans.

In this way, greed can be understood. The pile of rags deep in the subconscious is actually useless. It is more like a notebook, which is used to record the power of powerful beings in the universe that have not been borrowed.

As we all know, sheep will also feel pain. The most wool is only plucked the first time. A sheep that has been fooled once, even if it is not the last person who comes this time, is likely to run away and no longer approach. Even if it can continue to pluck, there will not be so much wool.

But think about it the other way around. The powerful beings represented by these marks are all innocent and trusting lambs that have never been plucked. For greed, this is simply a windfall, the most valuable knowledge and wealth, even more valuable than the ability to break through the focus limit he obtained in the previous update.

When Greedy thought of the endless DC universe and how there were still so many sheep that had not been fleeced, he felt his heart was burning, the situation was very good, and he was getting more and more hopeful about his life.

After returning to the Mind Tower, Greedy told his discovery to Superego and Pride. Superego did not comment, which was considered as tacit approval of Greedy's continued fleecing, while Pride made a logical guess.

"If every item left in the depths of the subconscious represents a god, then who do they represent?"

"That's a problem, but I'm afraid we can't send a broadcast to the whole universe for lost and found. I think we can always guess one or two? Let's try to analyze one or two first?"

Pride and other Schillers agreed to this proposal, so Greedy went down again with the gray fog, but this time he didn't care about the bones that were buried shallower, because the deeper they were hidden, the better.

Greedy finally chose scales.

When he dragged the giant scale that was almost half his height back to the Mind Tower, without the vague subconsciousness and illogical darkness, the scale showed its original appearance -

It was a black scale that shone with tiny glimmers and had an almost iconic aura...dragon scales.
