Chapter 949: What Schiller Fears Most (Part 2)

But at the same time, Batman, who put himself in Schiller's position, also understood that for people who were trapped in this kind of thinking, it was useless to repeatedly emphasize to them that "you are wrong, this is not okay", "you must do this and that".

Their persecution delusion was already terminal. No matter who gave them advice, they would feel that there was a trap behind this advice. Batman once thought so.

He would go to many people for advice, such as Gordon, Harvey and Schiller, but he would not completely trust the advice given by these people. After comprehensive thinking and repeated consideration, he would analyze the personality of these people based on the way they gave advice and the content of the advice given, and deal with the traps in the advice that did not exist.

This sounds like repaying kindness with enmity, but in this state, it is more like a compulsive behavior. At that time, Batman could not control himself and could not stop himself from thinking about these problems. One plan after another, one record after another, kept circling in his mind.

Batman certainly wants to save Zatanna. Even if they are no longer lovers, they are at least friends, and they are old friends for many years. He does not want to see Zatanna go down such a self-destructive path.

Just like Schiller, Batman does not want there to be another madman in the world who wears a straitjacket and sits on a chair looking at the moon.

Since tough persuasion and suggestions are useless, Batman does not intend to persuade Zatanna to go back like Constantine, but says to her: "If you have other ways, you can try it, but I believe you should have discovered that Professor Schiller is not an ordinary person."

"Constantine and I have seen the full picture of the Mind Tower. It is a magnificent building beyond anyone's imagination. Fragments of his personality traits live in this tower. The number cannot be estimated, but there may be hundreds or thousands."

"The memory space of such a person must be very dangerous. We have encountered so many dangers just in the shallow exploration. If you want to go one step further, you must be prepared."

Batman rarely speaks so much in one breath. Originally, he is not a talkative person, so in After he finished speaking, Zatanna thought about it seriously, then frowned and said, "You make sense. Just the few memory fragments we have experienced tell us that he is a lunatic, a criminal, a killer, and a very professional one."

"But I think it's still worth a try. We don't want to provoke him, we just want to go to the depths of the memory space to see what he fears most. If it is done properly, it will not be discovered."

Hearing this, Batman asked in confusion, "Can you see what he fears most?"

"Everyone is afraid of something, isn't it? If the weak items we got before are items that have left him with psychological trauma, for example, the straitjacket may represent his unhappy life in the mental hospital, the butcher knife It may represent his dark memories of being used as an experiment, and the building blocks may represent the mental trauma he suffered in his childhood..."

"These things are weaknesses and shadows, but they cannot be called the things he fears the most. When everyone asks themselves, 'What am I most afraid of?', they will have a first reaction, which is often the thing they fear the most. "

Zatanna turned her head to look at the light spots floating in the air, and she said: "Memory is not complete and coherent. Perhaps, when many people recall certain things, they feel that their memories are very smooth, but in fact, they are also pieced together from fragments of many scenes. "

"And the ability to piece these scene fragments into a complete memory is called a memory path, which refers to what clues people use to recall this memory. "

"Compared to For example, some people think of what they did in the morning, what they did at noon, and what they did at night in chronological order, while some people think of the cause first and then the result. "

"These memory paths can become our channels, and each memory fragment can be used as our springboard. As long as the direction is correct, we can find the memory scene where he once asked himself in his heart, 'What is the most frightening thing?' through constant shuttle and jump. "

"Then, we can find the first answer in his heart in a certain moment of memory, which is what he fears the most. "

Batman understood Zatanna's explanation, which is nothing more than making the human thinking process more concrete, more like another explanation of human memory.

"The only question is, do you really have any spare energy?" Batman looked at Zatanna's pale face and said, "From the process you described, constant shuttling and jumping will definitely consume a lot of energy."

Zatanna pursed her lips, as if unwilling to show weakness. She gently raised her chin and said, "I can't be weaker than an ordinary person, right? Bruce?"

Looking at her stubborn appearance, Batman had some words on his lips, but he couldn't say them. Zatanna made such a decision, perhaps just to prove that her leaving without saying goodbye was not without reason. She wanted to prove to Batman that she was indeed doing her best to protect the world.

Constantine, who was standing next to them, sighed after seeing the two of them looking at each other affectionately, and said, "Okay, okay, you two are both messengers of justice. It seems that I can only sacrifice my life to accompany you."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the extremely evil curse you mentioned, which could really destroy the world, I wouldn't want to take risks here. But since we are here, let's go and see what Schiller is afraid of."

Zatanna waved her hand, and countless memory light balls flew around her. Then, the white light gradually spread out, forming a storm around the three people. Zatanna raised her voice and said, "Get ready, we are going to start shuttling!"

After a burst of fierce white light, Batman found that he was in a weightless space, and the scenery in front of him was rapidly receding.

Zatanna took the lead, and Batman and Constantine flew behind her as flanks. The three began to shuttle between countless light balls, like a spaceship shuttling between the stars.

One after another, the light balls retreated in front of Batman's eyes, and in the brief moment of their sight, he saw many afterimages of Schiller's past, but stories he had never known.

There was Schiller reading a book, Schiller in the examination room, Schiller driving, and Schiller sleeping...

Time flies, and memories are like flowing light. In the process of soul shuttle flight, memory becomes the best scenery, just like the scenery flashing outside the train window. It is not beautiful, but it always makes people feel like seeing a faded old photo.

Just when Batman was immersed in observing each light ball and what kind of memory it recorded, Zatanna in front suddenly shouted: "Prepare to land!"

Batman held his breath and concentrated. The next second, a severe sense of weightlessness came over him. A flash of white light passed by. When he stepped on the ground again, the first thing he heard was not the sound of footsteps landing, but Zatanna's scream.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

Batman turned his head immediately, but before he saw Zatanna, he saw Schiller in a straitjacket and a mask.

Before he could speak, Constantine screamed from behind: "Zatanna!!! Did you jump wrong?!!!"

"Zatanna, who was busy dodging the attack of the straitjacket straps, shouted: "I didn't! I jumped according to the compass needle! The direction indicated by the mind magic is definitely correct!"

"Then why did we come back here? ! "Constantine turned into an ash clone again and appeared in another direction, but the next second, he was pulled to the wall next to him by the straps of the straitjacket.

Batman looked carefully and found that this was the memory space where he got the straitjacket before, and it was the follow-up room again. The three of them just fell out of the previous door.

Without time to think, the three of them began to flee for their lives. When they were in their prime, they still had to fight with Schiller for a while. Now the three of them have consumed a lot of physical strength and energy, and there is no hope for a head-on battle.

Finally, the three of them rushed into the tool room downstairs again, and Zatanna panted and said, "How is it possible? The needle is clearly pointing here, I can't jump wrong..."

After saying that, she took out a compass emitting magical light and whispered: "This is something left by the great wizard Merlin, there is no way it can be wrong..."

Hearing the metal "click" sound again, Zatanna gritted her teeth, waved her hand, and the storm swept through, and several people returned to the shuttle again.

Zatanna took out a compass, stared at the needle on it and said: "I won't make a mistake again..."

"Prepare to land!" Zatanna shouted again, and the next second, the same dizziness, the same white light, the same sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the same scream...

Batman felt that the puzzled expression he saw on the face of Schiller in the straitjacket should not be an illusion, and they were back in this follow-up room again.

This time, Zatanna was no longer surprised, he said firmly: "This proves that the place we are looking for may be here!"

"Get rid of him first, I will use the compass to show the way! "Zatanna shouted, and the three of them started running again, but this time, perhaps Schiller was stimulated and his desire to chase was even stronger. The three of them circled several times in the building before they got rid of him.

Constantine was so tired that he could hardly get up. He looked at Zatanna and said, "You should have used this plan earlier, and we wouldn't have to be so embarrassed..."

"No one can predict the future." Zatanna sighed and said, "Fortunately, we now have some understanding of the terrain here."

He held the compass, the light on his hand lit up, the pointer spun wildly, and then stabilized in one direction. Seeing this, Zatanna pushed the door again and ran out, then stopped at an intersection and said, "This way!"

She turned and ran over, and the other two could only follow him. After another big circle, Zatanna stopped in the corridor. She said, "No, it should be here, but why is there no room here?"

"Upstairs or downstairs." Batman said, and when Zatanna asked again, he said, "It should be downstairs, remember? The exit we found earlier..."

Zatanna showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "What Schiller resisted the most... That's right! The exit of this world may connect two roads, one to the buffer zone, and the other to the room where we want the answer!"

"Let's go!" Zatanna started running again. She rushed down the stairs quickly and came to the first floor. She just bumped into Schiller who was patrolling. The three of them had to speed up again.

Schiller's speed was getting faster and faster. The laces almost touched the ends of Zatanna's hair. She rushed into the cafeteria with her last strength.

In an instant, the white storm engulfed the three people. The process of shuttling was less than a second. After landing again, they came to a door.

Zatanna was almost completely unable to move, but she still held the door frame, stood up, and panted and said, "Okay, he is cruel..."

"Then let's see what such a terrible professor would be afraid of?"

The remaining two people were almost out of strength, including Batman. He was in the best condition just now. He bore most of the firepower. There were wounds on his arms and waist, and blood stained his clothes red.

He was also a little curious about the answer, because when Zatanna explained the principle of this shuttle jump plan, Batman thought of a question.

What does Schiller think he is most afraid of, what others think he is most afraid of, and what he is actually most afraid of, will the answers to these questions be the same?

And obviously, the door in front of them will tell them the answer to the first question, that is, what Schiller thinks he is most afraid of.

This is still a topic that Batman is very interested in, because if this answer exists, then Schiller is not as impeccable as his language style.

This may not be used against him, but it can be used to laugh at him.

The next second, Zatanna pushed open the door, and the three walked into the room full of light.

The first thing that came into view was the grass, the flowers that bloomed one after another, and the woods in the distance, but none of them were as eye-catching as the huge object in front of them.

It was a huge, extremely magnificent, towering, and covering the sky-broccoli.
