Chapter 995: Battle for the Tower (Twenty-Nine)

When Batman heard the word "gentle", he put it in his mouth again, but this time, he didn't say anything. He could see that as the conversation went on, the professor was not in a good mood.

However, if things were really as he said, then this was indeed an unprovoked disaster. The teacher at the freshman registration office asked for leave at a very bad time, but in the final analysis, Batman came at an even worse time.

After giving up the in-depth study of this word, Batman began to recall how Schiller taught him as a teacher.

Before he started thinking about this question, he had to figure out whether Schiller was really teaching him?

After thinking about it, Batman found that the answer was yes, but the word "teaching" was also worth tasting.

In the freshman and sophomore years, Schiller did not actually tutor Batman's studies, but at that time, Schiller always appeared in all the serious cases Batman investigated.

The most memorable incident for Batman was when Fish, the female boss in the living hell, died. Batman conducted a series of investigations and found out that it was because of Schiller's umbrella.

Later, Schiller and Jack dug out the laughing egg from deep in his heart. It happened that the yellow light invaded, and Batman and others fought in the dream. As a result, Schiller finally got Elsa.

Later, Schiller went to Metropolis, and Batman had to track down clues to the murder case in the mayor's manor. Then, the trip to Gotham, the cat city, was still because Schiller stimulated the dream of a thousand cats.

The first half of the trip to the slums had nothing to do with Schiller, but in the second half, he gave Bruce a fatal blow.

And this time, Batman fell into hell because Schiller fell into hell.

Thinking back carefully, it seems that every time Schiller appeared, Batman can always learn something from it.

The detective wisdom of cracking clues layer by layer, the skills of exploring strange dreams, the courage to fly to the deepest abyss and face the madness of reality, the strategy of participating in large-scale wars and the perception of witnessing the course of revolution...

In the initial events, Batman still firmly believed in this answer. He wanted to avenge the criminals, but with all kinds of ups and downs and magnificent events, Batman found that he no longer had a definite answer.

Before in the mine, Batman had rethought this question. What was he fighting for? What was his ideal? What was his thought?

Is it revenge? Is it to save Gotham?

When thinking of these two answers, Batman instinctively felt dissatisfied. It was difficult for him to explain where his dissatisfaction came from. It seemed that such an answer was not worthy of his wandering and vicissitudes along the way.

Batman felt that after so many things, it was difficult for anyone to simply use a word or a goal to define his life.

The less a person has experienced and the smaller the world he knows, the easier it is to label himself with a narrow label, and then he will continue to solidify his thinking in the direction of the label, seek recognition in the circle with the same label, and then cut off all opportunities for re-selection and embark on such a road without hesitation.

However, if the thrilling and ups and downs along the way are exciting enough, the scars left by the road, and the courage and wisdom trained are enough, it is difficult for people to be satisfied with the achievements brought by a small label. This is why the right way in the world is vicissitudes.

Batman also has a similar feeling. If he devotes everything he has learned along the way to the goal of revenge against criminals or saving Gotham, he always feels that he has lost.

He has seen the sunset at sunset in the living hell, the endless black tide in the dream world, danced with cunning and cunning in the metropolis, struggled with poverty and weakness in the slums, heard the roar of rock in the cat city, and saw the setting sun like blood in hell.

Did he go such a long way, suffer so many injuries, learn and understand so many things, just to go to the streets and fight criminals?

Seeing Batman lost in thought, Schiller coughed lightly, and then said: "What you are thinking now is the answer to my current state."

"I, who was infected by the virus, gave you the answer you wanted to hear most at that time, but you and I both know that it is not the correct answer, neither the correct answer for everyone nor the correct answer for you." Schiller sighed again and continued:

"But for a long time afterwards, you believed it, or in other words, you have always thought so. For this reason, I must take many actions to erase the wrong answer and shake your conclusion, and then I can really pursue a correct answer."

Schiller looked down at himself, slowly restrained the crazy smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "And just after you finished your trip to the slums, I have made a breakthrough in something I have been trying to do for a long time."

"Fatalism is always mysterious, but I also have another way to check your state, that is, as long as I try to merge with the clown Schiller, the other half of the infected fragment, I can judge whether you have made new progress through the smoothness of this process."

"After you came back from the slums, I tried it again as a routine, and then I found that we could merge in a short time for the first time."

"But at this time, other problems arose." Schiller shook his head and said helplessly: "The software license was reached, but the hardware could not be merged so easily."

"When I first came to Gotham, I realized that this is a very dangerous city. He needs some strong personalities to support my actions and keep me from getting into danger."

"But many strong personalities are too aggressive. After they are released, I am no longer in danger, but Gotham University will be more dangerous. So, I chose arrogance, which is both a negative trait but not so strong. 's aggressive personality fragments. "

"But also because of some special reasons, the complete arrogance can not directly float up to the tabulation consciousness, so the superego split them into two. "

"The superego is not a personality fragment, it is the collective consciousness of all personality fragments, equivalent to the administrator of my soul, he has strong power and authority. "

"Therefore, when the personality fragments are cut, they are divided very thoroughly. At the same time, he uses a mysterious power to make the wounds after the division heal quickly, without leaving any scars. "

"So, when I wanted to merge with the other half of the fragment, I found that we had actually become two complete fragments. It is very difficult to merge again. "

"I think you should know that during the implantation When grafting, both sides must have wounds to make fusion possible. In other words, we cannot fuse in our prime. "

"After Constantine filled the city with broccoli, you only saw me fall into weakness, but the other half of my personality fragment, the clown Schiller, also fell into weakness. "

"At this time, I realized that the opportunity had come. Both of us are now in an extremely weak state. As long as the wound is artificially created, there is a chance to merge again. "

"So, I let the FBI agents take me away. I thought they would successfully send me to Washington and then torture me, which might stimulate my spirit and create wounds for fusion..."

Schiller was helpless He shook his head and said, "But I really didn't expect that the people they sent couldn't even get out of Gotham."

"The plan of using torture to force a confession failed. I have to find another way. I think that if we are restricted by the body, then we must find mental stimulation to bring psychological trauma, but if we lose the body, we can directly hurt the soul and create wounds."

Batman and Schiller looked at each other, and Schiller said, "So, I killed myself and fell into hell."

"You observed that I was in a somewhat unstable state before, and it was because we were trying to merge." After saying that, Schiller glanced at General Rot Heart and said, "After coming to the mine, I realized that the opportunity had come. This cruel mine owner should be able to create a wound that satisfied me."

Schiller looked down at the metal lock on his clavicle and said, "He did a good job, but to my surprise, the wound alone still couldn't be smoothly integrated, because during the fusion process, I needed to replenish a lot of energy. "

Schiller peeled off the fat from the lower half of a piece of slightly charred skin, then pierced it with a fork and put it into his mouth. He said, "So, I asked him to provide me with some extra help."

"Maybe. You have heard that powerful demons can devour weak demons, but in fact, human souls can do this, and we can also devour demons."

"Of course, the strength of human souls is no match for demons." Schiller glanced at General Rot Heart again, smiled and said, "But what humans are best at is using tools."

"Even if I could devour a whole demon, I would not take such a barbaric method. Humans have to use tableware to eat and chew slowly. It has been too long since we were eating raw meat and drinking blood. "

After saying that, Schiller took the plate from the strange demon, put the freshly roasted belly meat into his own plate, cut it into small pieces, and put it into his mouth.

Batman was still in a trance of thinking. After listening to Schiller's story, he finally understood why the professor seemed to have a grudge against him. It was not as if Schiller had a grudge against him.

Batman was very sure that when Schiller taught him to find the answer to this question, he must have been taking revenge for personal grudges, but he had no evidence, and he suspected that there was no teaching in the personal grudge.

At first, he thought Schiller was a criminal who targeted him everywhere because he couldn't stand the vigilante. Later, he thought Schiller was a mental patient who targeted him everywhere because he couldn't stand normal people. But now it seems that Schiller's actions have very clear motives and goals.

All the seemingly abnormal targeting actions came from what happened when they first met, with cause and effect matching and reasonable logic.

In other words, although Schiller was sick, his actions against Batman were not because of the illness.

So if Schiller's behavior is normal, who is abnormal?
