Chapter 3209 The Detective Is About to Die (Thirty-Four)
Chapter 3183 The Detective is about to die (Thirty-four)
Greedy feels that he and Batman are not compatible.
As mentioned before, Arrogance is a detective type, while Greedy is a behind-the-scenes mastermind type. It is understandable that they don't get along, and it is normal for them to trip each other up.
But the main universe Batman is the most typical Batman. He is also a detective type, and his motivation is much stronger than Arrogance.
In most cases, Arrogance has a kind of inertia. Simply put, it pushes and moves. When nothing happens, it is idle, and when something happens, it takes a gamble.
But Batman is not like this. He is a detective of the school of planning ahead with great motivation, and the preparation method he is best at is the exhaustive method.
Blocking all the roads for a person or a thing, leaving a dog hole for the other party to drill through, and waiting for him on the other side after the other party has gone through with great effort, is the most commonly used detective method of Batman.
Greed is the manipulator behind the scenes who likes to dig holes everywhere. He never goes all the way, but prefers to make various branches on a main line. Every action will be complicated, and he will often do many meaningless things to interfere with the line of sight, just to make people unable to see his real purpose.
If greed is best at winding a huge ball of yarn to roll everyone in, then Batman is good at building a huge textile machine to weave all the yarn into his own preparations.
It can be said that the behavior logic of these two people is exactly opposite. They use exhaustive method to fight exhaustive method, and use negative infinity to fight positive infinity. It is strange that greed can have any good impression on Batman.
I can only say that it is fortunate that it was arrogance that stayed in DC. If it was greed, I don’t know how many brain cells would die.
Even if Bruce in the universe where Schiller is located is relatively young, if we look at the development speed of greed, it is estimated that he will meet the main universe Batman within five years. At that time, it will be a real nesting doll battle. In another sense, I predicted your prediction.
In fact, compared to arrogance, Greed's core is closer to Batman's nemesis, the Joker, who is equally paranoid, crazy, and motivated.
It's just that Greed has no interest in torturing someone specifically. As long as he wants to entangle Batman in his ball of yarn, and Batman doesn't want to be entangled in his ball of yarn, the two will definitely be in opposition.
And this game is actually the first head-on collision between Greed and the main universe Batman, and the result is obvious.
Greed's plan was largely successful. He started with an outrageous brain hole, and then set up a maze step by step, luring the enemy into his experimental base, and with these players in hand, Batman must have some concerns.
But Batman was not unprepared. He also took advantage of the extremely short time after the game officially started to get a glimpse of part of Greed's conspiracy, and used a trick to escape, completely out of Greed's control, and became the biggest unstable factor in the overall situation.
Moreover, due to the tacit understanding between Batman and the Joker, the Joker also escaped from Greed's plan, which is equivalent to the two most dangerous people in this game not being entangled in the ball of yarn, which will undoubtedly become the biggest hidden danger.
But this is far from being a serious play, it can only be called a shallow test. To be fair, it is barely a draw.
If only Batman escaped, he would have suffered a small loss, because his moral bottom line is significantly higher than Greed. If Greed takes the players to command the princes, he will also be restrained.
But the Joker also ran away, and the two old enemies escaped from Greed's field of vision at the same time, which basically brought the situation back to a balanced state.
Because Greed can threaten Batman with the players in his hand, but cannot threaten the Joker. In this case, even if Batman has some scruples, Greed has to guard against the Joker tearing his face and taking action, and the effect of the threat is greatly reduced.
Although the situation is a draw, Greed knows that his opening is advantageous, because he has learned from the Transcendence that he is the first to enter the game, and he has been in the game longer than anyone else, so he can do more things.
Batman was more than one step slower than him, but he was able to pull the situation back to a basically balanced state through his own investigation and foreshadowing. He had already lost half of this game.
Greed didn't care about the smile on the agent's face. He glanced at the others. He didn't believe that the others had no expectations of the current situation, but how much they guessed and what countermeasures they had, Greed wanted to know now.
But his eyes stopped on Bruce's face halfway because he found that Bruce was distracted again.
Ever since he clicked on the skill of psychoanalysis, he often started to be distracted.
No, to be precise, Bruce has been distracted since Greed confirmed that it was not Pride who was controlling Schiller's body now.
Greed felt that Pride must have gone to trouble the Transcendent, but he also knew that the main reason why Pride was so angry was not because the Transcendent used his talent skills without paying him copyright fees.
It can be said that the Transcendent copied his talent to anyone except Bruce. In fact, Arrogance doesn't care. If Schiller hadn't opened up the authority of the Mind Tower to the Transcendent so that the other party could build the Fighting World System faster, the Transcendent would have nowhere to copy even if he wanted to, and it was reasonable that he would be copied.
And even if it is copied, it can't copy the essence, at most it is a form of expression. This form is a talent for Schiller, but it is a disaster for others. Anyone whose perspective becomes similar to that of the Outer God will feel crazy and unreasonable.
You say this thing is psychoanalysis? Then all the masters of psychology in the world should come from mental hospitals.
But the Transcendent gave this talent to Bruce.
As we all know, Pride spent so much effort just to prevent Bruce from taking his path. It is not worth it for Batman to exchange the talent of psychoanalysis at the cost of madness.
Because Batman's own wisdom and ability of behavioral analysis are enough for him to deal with everything in the world, why should he be a madman?
Pride spent ten years to keep Bruce away from this path, but you, the Transcendent, kicked him back overnight. Who else can Pride trouble if not you?
This matter is said to be a problem of the Transcendent, but it is essentially due to Bruce's special nature of Pride, so greed and suspicion, Pride went to Bruce after going to the Transcendent.
In the Doujie game, the passage to the Kingdom of Dreams cannot be used, but the Transcendent is the administrator, so he can go to anyone's spiritual space he wants.
Greedy also knows this guy. On the surface, he is as arrogant as a millionaire, but in fact, he slides down faster than anyone else, and he loves to watch the fun, and he is also a fun-loving person who is afraid of chaos in the world.
If Pride intends to drag him to find Bruce, he may not bite and refuse to let go. Maybe he will open the door to Pride just to watch the fun between the two of them.
That's why Greedy said before that Bruce's analysis had better not be parroted, because he always felt that it was a bit like Pride's tone.
Greedy took a deep look at Bruce, followed his clear blue eyes, and seemed to vaguely see several figures talking happily, one of whom was Pride who had disappeared for a long time.
But Pride was not the only one in Bruce's spiritual space.
In a space like the hall of Wayne Manor, there were several figures sitting around the fireplace.
On the big sofa, the Transcendent in white uniform leaned on the right armrest, and on the left sat an old man holding a storybook, with a horned helmet on the table beside him. He was the God of Stories, Loki.
On the other side of the single sofa, a man wearing a retro suit, a mustache, and Mickey Mouse ears on his head was Walt Disney, who was smiling and drinking coffee.
Pride, still wearing a black suit, sat opposite him, cutting a cigar slowly, and on the chair next to him sat a tall black man with a circle of golden lines around his eyes. He was the incarnation of Nyarlathotep, the Black Pharaoh.
And the Archangel Lucifer, still wearing a holy robe, was squatting by the fireplace and adding firewood to it. The flames in the fireplace were not ordinary flames, and the images flickering in the flames were Bruce's first-person perspective.
At this time, Pride spoke to the fireplace like a madman.
"Your eyes should be clearer. Greed can almost see my hair through your eyeballs. Bruce, can you focus your eyes?!"
The original text can be read in Liu # 9 x-on:shu/ba!
"I can't do it!" Bruce's voice came from the fireplace. He said, "I've been trying to analyze the representative colors of the emotions you mentioned."
"You are Batman, can't you do more than one thing?"
"This game limits my intelligence! My thinking speed is so slow now that I can't even think of a line!"
"But when your intelligence is not restricted, it's not much better." Pride threw the cut pieces into the fire and said, "At first I blamed the Transcendent, but now I have to thank him. He made me see that your psychoanalytic talent still has room for decline."
Before Bruce could speak, Pride shouted again, "Look forward! Look at that blue line! That's greedy anxiety!! Reach out and grab it... I'm not asking you to really reach out! Use your mind to touch it! Then use your reason to analyze it..."
The blue line slowly approached, and then the picture became more chaotic. Sometimes it was blue sky and white clouds, and sometimes it was a churning deep sea. It seemed that all the blue in the world was fused together, making people feel cold and melancholy again and again.
"What do you feel?"
"I feel very cold."
"Besides that?"
"Uh, it's very confusing, I can't explain it clearly, too many thoughts are mixed together." Bruce's voice came intermittently, it seems that he is analyzing those thoughts while talking, but because it is difficult to work in multiple threads now, his expression and the conversation in his mind are disconnected.
"Do you feel the uneasiness hidden behind these pictures?"
"Honestly, I can't see where the uneasiness is. Is he afraid of heights and afraid of swimming?"
"Seeing the sky means being afraid of heights, and seeing the deep sea means being afraid of swimming? Bruce, why can't you learn to be more emotional?"
"Didn't you ask me to analyze it with reason?!"
"You have to experience it with emotion first. Didn't you say you felt very cold? What kind of emotion does this cold make you burst out?"
"Let me find some clothes to wear."
"What if you can't find it?"
"Then forget it."
"What do you mean by forgetting it! Imagine your despair in a cold environment where you are isolated and helpless! What does that make you feel?"
"Feel... despair?"
"I mean what does this despair make you feel!"
"Despair is despair. It's already despair. What other emotions can there be?"
Arrogant put down the eighth cigar he had cut and said, "That means something is beyond your control. This despair is like being in the cold under the ice and snow. It represents a sense of powerlessness beyond control, exposure, loneliness, and abandonment."
"Oh." Bruce responded and said, "So he was abandoned by the Batman of the main universe? Will he go to find him?"
"You make me feel like I'm pushing a wheelchair up the stairs." Arrogant said.
"What makes it difficult for you is that I'm too heavy for you to push?"
"What makes it difficult for me is that you're not in a wheelchair at all!"
Others were doing their own things expressionlessly, and they were not surprised by this situation, because this kind of discussion had been repeated for the eighth time.
