Chapter 1947 U Beyond Event (Sixty-four)
"I think he must have seen something in that office. Do you remember? When Batman went to the bathroom, he was looking at the documents in the drawer in the office. Could it be that these things are recorded there?"
"But that is a mental hospital. What does it have to do with the so-called town of Lodesan and the city of Ragusa in Italy?"
"In Sicily, people have such a legend that the city of Ragusa was built on the third vertebra of the devil, so there are all kinds of criminals here."
Constantine blew out a smoke ring and said in a slightly vicissitudes of life: "When I was traveling in Europe, I met a mafia member there. He said that the founder of Ragusa was once harassed by the devil. In order to He built the Old City under the pressure of the demons that climbed up from hell. "
"The Old City is like a cone that penetrates deep into the spine of the demon, nailing him to the ground and never being able to stand up. " Constantine narrowed his eyes and recalled: "And the locals have such a legend that if you dig down along the ruins of the old city, you can go through the brain stem and eye sockets of the demon and reach the furnace of hell. "
"Wait." Spider-Man suddenly interrupted Constantine and said: "Remember what Schiller said about the fable? 'People born in flames will be destroyed in flames.' "
"Is there really hell in this world? " Lord Superman obviously didn't believe it. He said: "I have searched the entire earth and have not seen any demons or angels. "
"Because they are not On Earth, the Limbo where I am is not there either, at least it cannot be reached by ordinary people. If they shut you out, you will never find him. "
Constantine thought deeply again, and then said: "I have not heard of any necklace in Ragusa, but I know that there are always one or two old treasures left in similar old city ruins."
"The great wizards at that time still had real power. They maintained a delicate balance with demons and angels, and they would leave some blessings and curses in the items."
"As time went by, the inheritance was lost, and later people regarded these items that could cause magical effects as holy objects, believing that they could bring people powerful power."
"But in fact, the powerful power of the ancient wizards came from their absolute The strong willpower to bow to the devil or angel, the objects are ultimately external things, but modern wizards do not understand this. "
"This has also led to a lot of tragedies. Ninety percent of the people I know who have found ancient treasures cannot withstand the backlash of the curse of the objects, and eventually lead to bad consequences. "
"I think we can sort it out from the beginning." Spider-Man is still used to telling something in the order of the timeline. He said: "Before, Schiller said on the bus that this whole game should have a main story. I don't think this is aimless. He may have found some clues. "
"The places where clues are more likely to be found in these games are Nehlet Manor and the unknown mental hospital. Remember the demon in Nehlet Manor? He has the ability to control fire. Will this be related to the prophecy Schiller said? "
"The Nehlet family has too many secrets. "Constantine sighed and said: "The biggest doubt is Hancock. In the pictures we saw, his origin was not mentioned at all. Is he really unrelated to the murderer? "
"Do you remember? In the plot of Nehelet Manor, Mrs. Nehelet's family, the Prosi family, was burned down overnight by a fire. Mr. Prosi said that Mr. Nehelet sent someone to do it. "
"But ordinary flames cannot burn down the entire manor overnight. It will take at least a few days, unless it is the kind of flame controlled by the killer. But since Mr. Nehelet knew that his manservant was a fire killer, how could he dare to keep him at home? "
"I think that Hancock is in the same group with the killer. "Spider-Man said: "It was he who sent the killer to burn down Mrs. Nehelet's family."
Spider-Man put his finger on his chin, thinking and saying: "According to this idea, combined with what Schiller said, could the manservant be the child of the cultists? "
"The manservant's father obtained a cursed necklace in the old city of Ragusa in Italy. The necklace has the power of the demon suppressed under the old city of Ragusa. "
"His father returned to the United States with the necklace. In order to activate the power of the necklace, he sacrificed a town called Lodesan, causing the town to disappear."
"And the sister mentioned by Schiller should have played an important role. Perhaps she was the mother of the male servant. After the cultists came to the town, they kidnapped a girl and made her pregnant, and then sacrificed the entire town to let the power of the necklace descend on the unborn child."
"Later, Hancock found the child and found something abnormal about him, so he sent him to the Nehlet family to help him seize the family's property."
Lord Superman nodded and said, "It is indeed possible. During the entire game at Nehlet Manor, we did not see anyone investigating in the manor, but this is actually the most abnormal, because no matter which Batman, he prefers to actively look for clues."
At this time, Bruce, who had not spoken for a long time, sighed and said, "Believe it or not, this whole story is made up by Schiller."
The others looked at him, and Spider-Man said in great confusion, "It's impossible. To make up a story, you must have at least a blueprint. How can you make up a story with plot, logic, and various details in just a few seconds?"
"Other Schillers may not be able to do this, but this Dr. Schiller is very good at this." Bruce sighed deeply and said, "Because his treatment is on schedule. The consultation fee is charged, and the consultation fee is shockingly expensive. "
"Is there any connection between the two?" Lord Superman was also a little confused. He said: "What is the connection between the expensive consultation fee and whether or not to tell a story?"
"If you are a psychologist, you will often encounter a type of patient. When he comes to the psychologist's clinic, he does not pour out his secrets and release his pressure, but desperately pry into the psychologist's past."
"Even ordinary people will feel safe and comfortable when they have a certain understanding of the other party in the conversation, and it is easier to open up."
"And some people have more serious symptoms. They can get pleasure from knowing other people's secrets, which gives them a sense of security that everything is under control, and this type of person will go to a person who has no understanding of the other party at all. Anxiety will arise in the environment of people around them, and when starting a new relationship with a stranger. "
"So when they see a psychologist for anxiety problems, they will be more aggressive in trying to pry into the other person's secrets. If you become more defensive or overreact, then the treatment may not be able to continue."
"Psychologists are also people. They also have their own needs to keep secrets. In most cases, if the patient behaves too radically, the psychologist will choose to refer the patient, but Dr. Schiller is different."
Bruce sighed deeply and said, "He will never let go of the consultation fee. He wants money but not life."
"So, he has developed a skill to write a complete story with a beginning and an end, a wonderful plot, clear logic, and a Many detailed background stories that can correspond to reality are gradually revealed to the patient under his questioning. "
"This story is often very complicated, with many characters of different identities, each with their own background stories, and they also intersect with each other. Even the relationship between them and the corresponding emotions are very real. "
"Usually this story will also involve the old grievances of several generations, and the footprints are all over the new world and the old world. There are often many theological and philosophical metaphors, and occasionally some mysticism. "
"Wait." Spider-Man interrupted Bruce and said, "Why design such a complicated background story? Make a simpler one so that the patient can understand it by asking casually. Wouldn't it make him feel safe faster and start treatment? "
"That's the problem. I said that Schiller's treatment is charged by the hour and the fee is very expensive. "
"How expensive?"
"Two million dollars an hour, no upper limit. "
"Hiss——"
There were sounds of people sucking in air in the screening room. Bruce spread his hands helplessly and said, "Don't ask me how I know. For a while, I was very interested in Schiller's life experience and used the doctor's personality as a breakthrough."
"I probably only stayed in his room for more than 30 minutes, and when I came out, I received a bill of one million US dollars."
"Did you find out his life experience?"
"I found out a new story."
The other people slapped their foreheads together.
"Obviously, the more complicated the story, the longer it takes, and the more exciting the story, the easier it will be to arouse curiosity." Bruce shrugged lightly and said, "As long as people have a certain understanding of Schiller and partially glimpse his talents, they will definitely want to know what shaped him."
At this time, Arthur, who had never spoken, turned his head and looked at Bruce. He seemed to be curious about the answer.
"It was Schiller who shaped Schiller. "Bruce gave an answer that was not unexpected by everyone. He said: "His origin, upbringing, the people and things he met, and the suffering he had suffered were not the main reasons for him to become what he is today. He became like this because he wanted to be like this."
"People like to know the past of strange people. It is essentially a kind of arrogance and conceit." Constantine said: "He is different from most people. It must be because he has a more different past."
"People think that what I want must be the best, and if someone has the ability to get what he wants but abandons it and chooses to go another way, they think he must have been stimulated by something, and there must be some unknown reasons."
"So they have not only curiosity, but also jealousy. By peeping into the past of weirdos and learning about their possible sufferings, they confirm their own ideas and prove that the public is right through the weirdos' helplessness."
"Maybe." Bruce shook his head slightly and said, "It is not ruled out that Schiller may have obtained some clues in Nehlet Manor and the mental hospital, but this story is most likely nonsense."
"But why did he do this?" Spider-Man still didn't understand: "Dr. Schiller should know that he can't stay in this room for long. Even if he deleted the part of making up the story, he should have a way to achieve his goal."
"Yes." Unexpectedly, Bruce admitted it directly, and then he sighed and said, "But this Schiller is different. If he is a fox, then he rushed into the chicken coop not because he was hungry, but because he wanted to see the chickens and dogs flying."
"Or, the chaos in the chicken coop, the frenzy of the watchdog and the anger of the chicken coop owner are the spiritual food he really needs. For this reason, he is not even afraid of shotguns."
