Chapter 1980 U Transcendence Event (Seventy-One)
Chapter 1954 U Beyond Event (Seventy-one)
As the saying goes, it is difficult for an honest judge to settle family disputes. This is essentially because people will unconsciously beautify their behavior in words. No matter how powerful the judge is, it is impossible for people to tell the truth completely. Then it is inevitable that the husband has his own reasons and the wife has her own reasons.
But it is too difficult to determine who is right. Both parties know this and dare to lie unscrupulously.
However, there is a magic weapon in the DC universe that can be called a family dispute settlement, that is, the Lasso of Truth.
When Bruce learned from Diana in his own universe that she had such a good thing, he often borrowed the Lasso of Truth to mediate family disputes.
For example, who robbed whose things between Jason and Tim, whether Dick's homework book was bitten by Elsa, and who brought the cabbage to school to beat the principal into the hospital.
In his rich experience, Bruce found that the Lasso of Truth was not very useful for asking some overly complex questions, because even if you don't tell lies, there are many ways to answer the truth.
However, for judgment questions, the effect of the Lasso of Truth is unimaginably good, because there are only two answers, yes and no, so there is no possibility of blurring the key points, so as long as the questions are asked properly, you can get an answer with an accuracy rate of nearly 100%.
Wonder Woman signaled Bruce with her eyes, and Bruce was ready to start asking questions.
"Do you understand each other?"
"Yes." "Yes."
Lord Superman answered first, and Batman answered later. Obviously, Batman is more resistant to the Lasso of Truth.
"Then do you think the other party understands you?"
"No." "No."
Wonder Woman frowned immediately.
"Are you willing to understand each other?"
"Yes." "Yes."
"Do you think you have the ability to understand each other?"
"No." "Yes."
For the first time, there was a disagreement in the answers. The answer given by Lord Superman to this question was no, that is, he felt that he was willing to understand Batman, but he was not able to understand Batman.
But Batman was willing to understand Superman and felt that he was able to understand Superman.
It seems that the key to the problem lies here. Bruce looked at Wonder Woman and said, "Do you think Batman is difficult to understand?"
Wonder Woman thought very seriously and said, "I don't think Batman is easy to understand for anyone."
"Have you tried?"
"I have thought about it, but I rarely come to helpful conclusions. Most of the time, Batman makes me incredible."
So Bruce asked again.
"Batman, have you ever tried to make them understand you?"
"Yes."
Lord Superman and Wonder Woman were stunned.
"When?" Wonder Woman asked in disbelief.
"All the time." Batman answered calmly.
Wonder Woman glanced at the Lasso of Truth on them again, as if to confirm whether this was true, but she still lost to her common sense. Under the Lasso of Truth, it was impossible to lie.
"Of course you will think that there is a problem with the expression." Bruce sighed and said, "Because Batman's way of expression is indeed unique."
Lord Superman and Wonder Woman hesitated to speak, and finally decided to forgive the young Batman's beautification of Batman's behavior and his inaccurate words.
But when the transmission of information is invalid, you can't just check the output end, you have to check the input end.
After Bruce snapped his fingers, he looked at Lord Superman and asked, "Have you ever felt that Batman tried to make you understand him?"
This time Lord Superman was silent for a long time, and the Lasso of Truth did not tighten, as if he recognized the problem he was thinking about.
"Maybe, I have an intuition, a very vague feeling, very unclear, I always think it's my illusion."
"Have you responded?"
"Of course, but it doesn't seem to work."
Bruce stroked his chin and looked at the two people. Wonder Woman came over and touched him with her elbow and said, "Why don't you ask them if they really regard each other as friends?"
"Because such obvious questions don't need to be asked."
Bruce thought for a while and said to himself, "Why didn't this happen in that universe?"
This is the fundamental reason why he concluded that Lord Superman and Diana also have problems, because Batman in the main universe does not seem to have this situation.
He has heard about the general situation of that universe from the children who have traveled to the main universe and Schiller, and through observing Batman in the main universe, Bruce is sure that his illness is much more serious than Batman in this universe.
But although the Justice League in that universe is only in its infancy, after experiencing a major event with Darkseid, there have been no disagreements. Although the cooperation between them still needs to be adjusted, there is surprisingly no problem in getting along.
Bruce went over what Lord Superman said before and the general situation of this universe in his mind again. He felt that he seemed to have some clues, but he just needed to grasp the key.
This is the key case material for his doctoral application, and there must be no problem. Bruce thought so, and repeatedly pondered where the problem was.
However, after going over all the behaviors and even details of Lord Superman and Batman, down to the tone of a sentence, an action, and a look, in his mind, he repeatedly analyzed and refined them, but still felt like a lump in his throat, and he was one step short of chess.
In the end, Bruce still had to turn to psychoanalysis, which he was not good at at all, but as the saying goes, you regret not having enough books when you need them. When you want to analyze, you find that you can't analyze anything. It can't be said that you have read and memorized it, but you can only say that you have returned it all to the teacher.
Bruce wanted to ask for help off the court, but the problem was that Owen was not in the team now, and there was no way to contact him for the time being. Moreover, if he made this call, his doctoral application would definitely be rejected more than 70 times.
Suddenly Bruce thought of a way.
He said to Wonder Woman: "Watch them first and tell them not to move. I'll be back soon."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to look through a book."
After that, Bruce walked into the house. After making sure that the three people outside could not see him at all, Bruce chanted a spell.
The three people outside the house only saw a holy light falling from the sky, but it disappeared in an instant. All three of them widened their eyes in surprise.
Bruce returned to heaven.
Bruce has discovered that the Doujie may be a place stuck between the two worlds, but its authority is not clearly higher than the highest existence of the two worlds. It can only be said that it has been authorized to hold a social event.
So the superpowers of the heroes of the two worlds can be used here, so Bruce's angel status is still valid, and no one can stop an angel from returning to heaven.
Bruce read the bar to return to the city, but not to go to heaven. He came directly to the temple and used the portal in the holy spring to come to the dream world.
Then he found the dream world and began to summon Constantine, the current dream god, in the dream world.
Constantine seemed to have entered the fighting world as well. Bruce could feel his summoning power weakening layer by layer, but in the end Constantine still felt his summoning and he also read the bar to return to the city.
Constantine was stunned when he saw Bruce. Before he came, he didn't know who summoned him. When he saw Bruce, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Don't go, do me a favor."
About 5 minutes later, Bruce came to Schiller's subconscious. The dream world is a world that sinks below everyone's subconscious, and theoretically can lead to everyone's subconscious.
After entering the subconscious, Bruce kept floating up, but he did not enter the tower directly through the hole in the floor of the Mind Tower. Instead, he came to the abyss and began to shout for help in the abyss.
After a while, a figure with half long hair appeared beside Bruce. He stared at Bruce and said, "Didn't you just finish graduate school? Why, you can't finish your thesis again?"
"It's not a thesis this time."
Schiller, who had half long hair, breathed a sigh of relief.
"This time it's a PhD application."
Schiller, with half-long hair, turned and left.
"You don't need to help me write this time." Bruce held him and said, "Take me up there and help me avoid arrogance. Is greed there?"
"You expect him to write for you? Do you know how much it costs? And your search for normality will be easily discovered by arrogance, and then we will all be in trouble!"
"I want to see the materials in the memory bank, and I need someone to lead the way." Bruce pulled Schiller's arm again and said.
"You should have said it earlier, I would have taken you up."
Not long after, Bruce came to Schiller's memory bank of professional knowledge, which is the most comprehensive psychological database in the world, and also comes with countless psychoanalytic experiences.
Bruce began to search for similar cases at the fastest speed, and then found that there were too many cases and he couldn't finish them. In the end, he chose to look through the textbooks.
After flipping for a while, Bruce suddenly stopped his eyes on a few lines of text.
"The period of self-exploration, also known as the period of spiritual transformation, refers to the period when people gradually improve themselves due to age or major changes in life..." Bruce suddenly realized that he thought of the universe where Lord Superman was. They had just experienced the death of the Flash. Superman killed Luthor and established the Lord of Justice to purge criminals and unify the entire earth. For Superman and Batman, this is a major change in life. The death of their friends, the change in the way of executing justice, and the major achievements they have made will make them start to think about themselves, and at the same time reflect themselves through others, and also know others through the new self. "During this period, people's views on things and people will be unpredictable, and sometimes even completely opposite, but the process of rebuilding and improving the new self is inevitably accompanied by mental depression and pain.
So they will be more inclined to introspection and ignore the connection with other people, which will manifest as excessive self-centeredness, lack of concentration, irritability and mood swings due to the pain of self-shaking. "
"It sounds like the rebellious period." Bruce said softly: "But this should be the problem."
Then he continued to read on, and the following mentioned various possible consequences of not guiding people in the spiritual transformation period properly, or even over-stimulating them, as well as the correct way to guide them.
Bruce read for a long time, and after making sure that all the details were remembered in his mind, he read the bar again to return to the city.
But this time, as soon as he returned to heaven, Bruce ran into Uriel who was checking his appearance. Uriel pointed behind him.
Bruce looked back and saw no one behind him. He turned back to look at Uriel, and Uriel flapped his wings behind him.
Bruce then remembered that according to the appearance regulations of heaven, all angels must wear wings and halos correctly. Bruce He inherited Gabriel's status and was a six-winged archangel like Uriel.
With a swish, Bruce showed his wings, and Uriel nodded in satisfaction and walked away.
Bruce then walked into the holy spring, and then followed the signposts back to the house at the Lord Superman base.
As soon as he landed, Bruce saw three figures standing in front of the door staring at him.
The next second, Bruce saw three stunned faces, Lord Superman, Batman and Diana all looked behind Bruce in shock.
Bruce looked back with some doubts, but there was still no one behind him.
Then he saw three pairs of holy huge wings.
