Chapter 974: Battle for the Tower (VIII)

Many images kept passing by in front of Batman's eyes, and many images of death overlapped, making him feel a little dazed.

Batman is not a person who can accept death calmly, especially the death of others. He once witnessed the death of his loved ones, which caused great trauma to his spirit.

Such trauma will gradually heal over time, but it cannot disappear completely. Therefore, when he saw the image of Schiller's death, his brain had almost no time to think about any other problems. The re-experience symptoms of traumatic stress disorder kept urging his brain to replay those terrible images.

Fortunately, at that time, Zatanna proposed another possibility. She suggested that they could go to hell to find Schiller's soul, which distracted Batman's attention and prevented his symptoms of traumatic stress disorder from erupting immediately.

Afterwards, they entered the edge of hell. When they saw Schiller's soul, Batman thought that everything had turned around, but then Schiller jumped down.

Batman didn't know what prompted him to jump down together. Perhaps it was the terrible images lingering in his mind that made him feel that he had to do something.

Because once he becomes quiet and has nothing to do, he will be surrounded by loneliness and fear, just like when his parents died, and will continue to erode his heart.

After really arriving in hell, Batman saw that the tower fell on the ground of hell, and saw countless Schiller's souls rushing out of the tower. His first reaction was that he still had room to save this tragedy, and he must try to save this tragedy.

Because when his parents' tragedy happened, what he hated most was that he had no ability to change it all, and this time, his professor and teacher died first, and then fell into hell. He witnessed all this with his own eyes, and he was no longer like a child who could do nothing.

So, he was eager to do something, and felt nervous about it, which was actually a manifestation of traumatic stress disorder, but he himself did not realize it.

Just as he was staring at Schiller in front of him, Schiller got up from the ground, shook his head vigorously, and then cursed in a low voice:

"Damn it, it's so high, I miscalculated..."

Then, he took a breath, stretched out his right hand, touched his back, and frowned deeply.

After tidying up his wrinkled suit and re-tying his tie, Schiller saw Batman standing in front of him.

"Are you okay?" Batman asked.

"Me? I'm fine." Schiller replied, he straightened his tie, coughed twice, and then said: "I successfully avenged Constantine, made him lose the ability to use magic, and threw the group of petty people in the tower into hell. Who told them not to let me get on the ship and not take me with them to the war?"

Schiller seemed to feel a little tired of standing, he walked to a big rock on the edge of the hillside and sat down, then chattered out his complete plan.

Schiller has many people to avenge. The culprit is of course Constantine, who caused the city to be full of broccoli. As he said before, he has a sharp blade to deal with good people, that is guilt.

There is no doubt that Constantine is a bad guy, but he is also a good guy. Although he often cheats his friends and teammates, most of what he does is actually to save the world, and the debt he owes for this is also borne by him alone.

His friends have paid a lot for him, but he has paid more. In his daily interactions with him, Schiller can see that Constantine relies on this to avoid the blame of his conscience.

His friend lost his life, but he also suffered great physical pain because of the price he had to pay. This pain can alleviate his inner guilt, so Schiller simply helped him eliminate this pain.

Originally, Constantine could divert his attention through physical pain, but after all the debts were cleared and all the scars were healed, he had no means to escape reality, and he had to face his inner guilt.

Of course, in addition to these old debts, Schiller also added two new debts for him.

He deliberately let the FBI agent stab him in front of Batman, and let Batman witness his body, the purpose is to make Batman feel guilty.

Once Batman feels guilty, then Schiller will fall into hell in front of Batman. If he jumps, Batman will definitely jump.

And he and Batman jump into hell together, which is a double critical hit for Constantine, equivalent to a knife stabbing the aorta. Schiller thought that Constantine might be going crazy in reality now.

At the same time, he fell into hell with his soul, and he could also take revenge on the superego who did not let him get on the ship, and the gloating Marvel Schiller. I can't take a vacation, and no one else can take a vacation.

Thinking of this, Schiller's mood improved a lot, and the adverse reactions were relieved. Just as he turned his head to observe the surrounding environment, Batman said: "Since you are fine, let's go."

Schiller asked, he asked with some doubt: "Go? Where are you going?"

"Go save you." Batman turned and walked forward. Schiller said in confusion: "Save me? Am I not right here? I have already said that I am fine. There is no broccoli in hell. Maybe my allergies will soon be relieved..."

"I mean the rest of you and the tower." Batman walked forward without looking back. Schiller could only keep up with him. He frowned, narrowed his eyes, and said in disbelief: "You mean, you want to save my other personality traits and the tower???"

"Batman, have you ever thought about a question? I, If I go to hell, I won't be the unlucky one, right? "

"Is there a possibility that those personalities and this tower don't need you to save them? Look at them running out excitedly, don't they look like they need someone to save them?"

"Besides, this is hell, full of powerful demons, the fighting skills you have learned are useless here."

Batman kept walking forward, Schiller quickened his pace and came to his side, turned his head to look at his face, he found that under the mask, Batman's expression seemed a little stiff, and his fingertips trembled a little.

Schiller raised his eyebrows, he guessed that Batman might have a post-traumatic stress disorder, after all, reason might tell him that Schiller would not die so easily, but the impact of witnessing the death scene was still very great, his illness was not completely cured, and if he was stimulated again, it was indeed possible that it would relapse.

Schiller came to Batman, stopped him and said: "Calm down, Batman, you should have noticed that your mental state is not very good now. You need some psychological treatment. I think we can find a safe place first..."

As soon as Schiller said this, Batman bypassed him and walked straight forward. Schiller frowned deeply, obviously a little angry at his rude behavior, but he still took a deep breath and whispered: "Okay, considering that you jumped down to save me..."

"Listen, Batman, this is just a plan of mine, a plan, do you understand? Whether you are taken away by FBI agents, stabbed by him, or die in a phone booth, your soul goes to hell, it's just my plan for "I made a plan to take revenge on those who are so petty and have no sense of measure..."

Batman stopped, then turned to Schiller and said, "You made such a plan because you think I can't do anything, right? All the criminals who dare to hurt others think so..."

Schiller shook his head and said, "No, it's just because when I want to take revenge on someone, anyone can be used, including myself and you."

"In fact, you already found out that I might be going to do something, didn't you? Your reason tells you that all this may be my plan. If I jump into hell, the danger may be hell."

"Just like now, your reason judges that the tower With my other personality traits, there will be no danger. My personality traits rush to the devil, and the devil will definitely be the unlucky one. "

"But there is still a voice in your heart urging you to save me, even if I don't need it... Batman, haven't you noticed yet? You have never walked out of that alley."

Schiller slowly walked in front of Batman, looked into his eyes and said: "You are sick, but you refuse treatment, just like many ignorant backward people, who regard mental trauma as unspeakable and unmentionable scars, unwilling to face it, and unwilling to accept scientific treatment..."

"If you continue like this, one day, the scar will be revealed in a more bloody posture, until At that time, unless you never show weakness in your life, when everyone knows that this is your weakness, you will pay ten times or a hundred times the price for it..."

"You are the one who should receive treatment." Batman looked at Schiller and said, "You would rather harm yourself than play with people's hearts and enjoy watching others being fooled by your plan..."

"That's right, but you know I'm a lunatic, so why do you jump?"

Batman turned back and continued to walk towards his goal. Schiller behind him shook his head and whispered, "The road to treatment is long and arduous..."

Just then, a "rumbling" sound came from the ground. Schiller was shocked and a little unstable. He looked back and saw a bloody mouth as soon as he looked back.

A huge demon sandworm drilled out from the ground. Batman turned around, bent his knees, and stabilized his center of gravity. As soon as the smoke and dust dissipated, he saw that the sandworm opened its round mouth with spiral sharp teeth and swallowed Schiller in one bite.

Batman opened his eyes wide instantly, and then rushed over at a very fast speed. With the help of the height of the hillside next to him, he jumped onto the back of the sandworm, grabbed the sharp corner of the sandworm's head, and punched the sandworm in the eye.

The sandworm felt pain and swung its body in the air, but did not open its mouth, but plunged into the sand.

Along with the faint traces on the sand, the huge sandworm disappeared in the sand and fled to the unknown distance.
