Chapter 998: Battle for the Tower (32)

The commotion in the mine was soon quelled, because Merkel came over with his men and found miners and slaves lying on the ground, Hexagon hiding in the shadow mine and trembling, and two red demons who had just climbed up from the ground. Merkel was a little confused about the current situation.

But at this time, Morn immediately ran over and bowed to Merkel and said, "Merkel, I'm really sorry! Didn't I scare you?!

"How many times have I told you not to call me sir?" Merkel sighed, looked at Morn and asked, "What's going on? Why did the shadow vine suddenly explode? "

Moren rolled his eyes, then showed an angry expression and said: "There was a shadow monster who disobeyed the arrangement and wanted to disrupt production. After I found it, he kept quibbling. I wanted to take him back to prevent him from hindering the work of other groups, but he turned and ran away..."

"I chased him to the shadow mine, he plunged in, and deliberately stimulated the shadow vines, trying to kill us all. Lord Merkel, you must make the decision for us!"

Moren showed a sad expression and said: "You just arranged the work today, and I was going to arrange the production tasks as you said, but he caused such a mess. Maybe he was dissatisfied with your group arrangement, so he wanted to hold us back! "

"I know you are very busy at work, and there are still many tasks waiting for you to arrange. We will take it out and take it away. The third team has always understood the importance of unity. We will definitely take it back and educate it well..."

Moren deliberately used many words that Merkel had used before. These words were relatively unfamiliar in hell, such as production, unity, work arrangement, etc. In his opinion, this would make it easier to gain Merkel's trust and prove that he had listened to his lectures carefully.

But even if Merkel was an action agent, he had also undergone formal ideological education. He could see at a glance that Moran had not changed his mind, so he knew that Moran's words could not be fully believed.

"I see, let's do this, you go back first, I will take this shadow monster back to the headquarters, if he is not satisfied with the work arrangement, I will transfer him to another group, if he wants to disrupt production, I will educate him. "

After Merkel finished speaking, he was about to approach the Shadow Mine. Morn was anxious. He knew that the Shadow Monster had heard his plan, and in his opinion, this plan must be kept absolutely secret, because it must be unexpected to succeed in the assassination.

"Wait a minute, Lord Merkel! The Shadow Vine is in an unstable state now. If you approach it, it may be dangerous. Let us do it! "Moren suddenly had an idea, stepped forward to block Merkel's way, then turned around and approached the Shadow Mine with a dagger.

Batman, who witnessed all this from a God's perspective, frowned even deeper, because he knew that the Shadow Monster's body was very fragile, and he had a fatal flaw, that is, the eyeball located in the center of the tentacles, which was their core organ. With just one knife, this poor Shadow Monster would die.

Merkel looked at the Shadow Vine that was still twitching, and seemed to think that it was not a good idea to rush over. He didn't know what the Red Devil was planning, and thought that it would be a good idea to let them take the frightened Shadow Monster out first. After all, if the Shadow Vine went crazy again, the miners and slaves here might be in danger.

Batman, who was tied to the stone pillar, began to struggle constantly. After finding no results, he turned to Schiller and said, "Let me go."

"Do you want to save him?" Schiller asked without raising his head, "Want to save your poor friend?"

"But, Batman, do you know? "Schiller turned to look at Batman and said, "Have you ever thought that these two demons may be the righteous side?"

"Of course, their motives are not pure. They want to kill you because they want to be the boss themselves, but in a sense, their plan is what we really want to see. Do you know why?"

Schiller raised his head and looked around the interior of the mine. His eyes seemed to penetrate the mountain and look at the thick fog in the sky of hell. He said, "It's not only the mine that is pressing on the heads of these slaves, but also you."

"You, Batman, the new mine owner, the new general, the hero who saved them from fire and water, but also the enemy of all proletarians, the exploiter, and the mountain that weighs on the people's heads."

Schiller looked into Batman's eyes and said, "The evil, cunning and stupid red devil is a hero, and you are the dragon."

"Any resistance of the proletariat to the bourgeoisie that exploits and oppresses them is reasonable and necessary, no matter what their purpose is for launching such a resistance, and no matter what they intend to do to you. "

Schiller said word by word: "Any capitalist who occupies extra means of production, any vampire who extracts the value of the labor of workers, and any devil who exploits the labor of workers will be liquidated."

"So, you should understand why we never mention these topics to you. There is no room for negotiation between the proletariat and the capitalists."

"If we are really willing to negotiate, like those weak people, and want to play the same tricks on the poker table with you, then there is no need to raise the flag in October of that year, but since the flag has been raised, it is only you and I who will die."

Batman had never heard Schiller speak in such a sharp and extreme tone. He didn't even know whether Schiller was expressing his political stance or emphasizing the differences between them.

"But I didn't think about exploiting workers." Batman looked at Schiller and said, "I pay them on time and never default on their wages. Even in the world, Wayne Group has the best employee benefits."

"But the existence of the bourgeoisie is evil." Schiller did not give in at all. He said, "Haven't you discovered it yet?"

Schiller took a deep breath, raised his head, then lowered his head and said, "Let's not talk about reality first, just take the situation in the mine as an example."

"You should have heard what the red devil said just now. Do you think he did the right thing? Kneeling, posturing, gaining power, and oppressing others, is this what you want?"

Before Batman could answer, Schiller said for him, "Of course not, whether it is you or us, , no one wants such a person to appear in the team, so why does such a person appear? "

Schiller looked at Batman, waiting for his answer. Batman thought for a while, and then said: "Because of power, where there is power, there must be people who want to gain power. Some of them who are morally weak and unscrupulous will use improper methods to gain power and oppress others."

Schiller nodded, and then asked: "Then where does power come from?"

Batman frowned, his brain full of wisdom made him grasp the key at once, but he didn't know what words to use to express what he thought of, so he could only say somewhat ambiguously: "Because of 'different', I don't mean the difference in strength or size, but the difference in status. "

"We have a clearer word to refer to the difference you mentioned, it's called - 'class'." Schiller looked at Batman and said seriously: "Power in a narrow sense comes from the gap in class, so where does class come from?"

Batman's brows never relaxed. He was silent for a long time, and then said: "Because the things you own are different."

"We also have a word to refer to the things you own, that is, 'capital'. Different capitals lead to different classes in society, and power is one of the manifestations of class."

"Power is not equivalent to responsibility, but class. The so-called 'the greater the power, the greater the responsibility' is a way for capitalism to avoid talking about class and deliberately replace the concept. 's product. "

"Power will never be responsible for responsibility. It comes from class and will only be responsible for class. Power is and is only a tool to maintain class."

Schiller explained the logic very clearly, so Batman also understood what he was going to say. Schiller looked at Batman and said, "The existence of class is the root of all injustice, so our ultimate goal is to eliminate class."

"But class is divided by the amount of capital. Which class do you think you will be divided into?"

Batman did not answer, but he knew that Schiller did not need to answer. This question was too simple. Whether in hell or in reality, Bruce Wayne, that is, Batman, is a capitalist with huge capital.

"You mean, it is because of me that people like Morren appear? But even if he has no power, he cannot use power to oppress others. His evil will also make him use other methods to harm others." Batman pointed out a loophole.

"The problem you mentioned is called law, or the ultimate form of human society. We have discussed it before, but not in depth. Let's not talk about this problem today because it has nothing to do with the answer you are looking for."

"You said that the red devil is a brave man, a proletarian who bravely resists, but you did not deny that they are evil beings who use power and class to make profits for themselves. Isn't this very contradictory?" Batman immediately caught another loophole.

"This is a contradiction between what you do and what you think. From the perspective of behavior, they are doing what you and Merkel need. They have independent thoughts, the ability to put thoughts into action, ambition and desire, and are willing to work hard for themselves and the benefits they can get."

"Don't you think that this is exactly the opposite of the numbness you hate? It's just that, according to human moral standards, they have no conscience and violate the public order and good customs of society, and they haven't completely violated it."

Schiller turned his head to look at the field. At this time, the two red demons were already digging shadow mines, but because of the special nature of shadow mines, they couldn't cause damage to the hexagons hidden in them for a while.

"Have you let this shadow monster go to the battlefield?" Schiller asked.

"The shadow monster is not suitable for the battlefield." Batman's tone seemed a little nervous. He knew Schiller was going to bring up the past, but he didn't know which past he was going to bring up. He said: "This race is not suitable for fighting, and besides, Hexagon's foot injury has not healed yet."

What he didn't expect was that Schiller nodded and said nothing, but then he pointed out: "Have you let him join the labor team?"

"His foot injury has not healed yet, and he is not suitable for labor." Batman replied again.

"Did he tell you that?" Schiller looked at Batman and asked, "Did he tell you, "He can't go to the battlefield, and he's not suitable for labor, so he needs you to help him through the back door?"

Batman shook his head, and Schiller turned his head back, looked down, and said, "Are you really not exploiting the workers?"

"You used the power brought by the gap between you and them in class to exempt your friend, the shadow monster, from the hard work of going to the battlefield and working, but at the same time, the responsibility he did not bear will be shared by others."

"Why do you drive them to fight?" Schiller asked another question, but then he answered, "For Victory? Then what is victory for? "

Batman did not take himself to hell, but to Gotham, so he answered: "I hope they can have a happy life."

"But if victory only belongs to you, they will never have a happy life." Schiller seemed to have lost the patience to explain slowly, so he said very bluntly:

"You have won, but nothing will change, and the people will not have a happy life, because victory does not really belong to the people."

"The people, the biggest obstacle between victory and the happy life you want..." Schiller looked into Batman's eyes and said: "It is precisely you."
