Chapter 1927 U: Beyond the Big Event (31)
Looking at the chaotic scene on the screen, Bruce couldn't help but cover his forehead. He remembered the first conversation he had with Arrogance when he took the elevator to the negative floor in Schiller's thinking tower.
Bruce stared at the newly added button in the elevator and said with some confusion: "Since Morbidity is the original Schiller, why didn't the elevator lead to the abyss until now?"
Arrogant sighed and said: "Do you still remember the hole on the first floor of the tower? It is to allow the personality in the tower to go down, but to prevent the disease from coming up."
"But they came up anyway."
"Because this universe is dangerous enough." Arrogance said: "To be precise, this city is much more dangerous than where I originally stayed, so Ill can come out for some air occasionally."
Bruce frowned slightly. He heard the implication of Schiller's words, so he asked: "What's wrong with the morbid condition? Why can't he come out in a safe place?"
"Because he is not stable enough." Arrogance turned his eyes to the side and said as if he was recalling something: "You should be able to imagine that Schiller in his original state is actually the strongest, but this power is uncontrollable. , so we want to work hard to become ordinary people.”
"So what could be morbidly irritating?"
"Everything that happened in Gotham." Arrogance shook his head slightly and said, "You can understand that this city is simply created for the sick. There is everything he needs here, so you will see him often in the future."
"But since Gotham can be irritating to the point of morbidity, why can he come and go so often?"
"Because there is also something for him to vent here." Arrogance turned to look at Bruce and said, "You have seen it in Metropolis."
It was Bruce's turn to roll his eyes away this time, and he said, "Yeah, but I saw more on the monitor."
"Actually, this is not out of control." Arrogance fumbled with the handle of the umbrella with his fingers and said, "This is actively accepting stimulation and venting desires. Everything is within control."
"So what would cause a total loss of control?"
"I was stimulated, but I couldn't vent it." He sighed more arrogantly and said, "This happened to me when I was young and receiving treatment."
Bruce turned to stare at Arrogance, and Arrogance briefly recalled: "The first time it happened, everyone was unprepared. When I had abnormal symptoms, the people closest to me wanted to care about me, and then I hurt her."
"professor……"
Arrogance shook his head and said: "That is already a very distant memory, and the most ridiculous thing is that when I saw her, I was already awake, but I just couldn't hold it back."
“That was the first time I realized how fragile ordinary people really are, and how out of tune I am with this world.”
"What turned you on?" Bruce asked.
Arrogance was surprisingly silent.
Bruce did not withdraw his searching gaze.
There are few questions in this world that this professor cannot answer. Most of them are about himself. There are mysteries one after another about him, but the truth behind each one is cruel. This makes Batman's curiosity rare. Got into a fear that he shouldn't have.
"It's about a boy." Arrogance pondered for a moment and then said, "I can't remember exactly who he is. Most of the things about him were heard from the medical staff."
"He also had slightly different abilities than ordinary people, which were not as obvious as mine. After a series of investigations and treatments, he was discharged from the hospital."
Bruce had some bad premonitions in his heart, and he wanted to interrupt, but Schiller had already continued.
"He was in good condition when he left, just like an ordinary child. Suddenly one day I heard that he killed his parents, and then he was brought back."
"One night he burst into my room and jumped from the seventh floor, shouting 'Don't go back, don't turn back into them!' before jumping."
Schiller was silent for a while and then continued: "I saw injuries on his body. They were not bruises from uniforms or arrests, but more like old injuries from some abuse."
"Is he dead?"
"Of course, he is not Superman, and neither am I. There are no super heroes like you who are more powerful than you can imagine. If he jumped from the seventh floor, of course he would die."
"Later I heard from the nurse that his parents seemed to use violence to force him to use his abilities to do things he didn't want to do. One day he finally couldn't stand it anymore and killed them all, and he himself collapsed. ”
Arrogance and Bruce walked out of the elevator together. He raised his head slightly and looked into the dark space of consciousness and said: "I can't say that one thing shaped me, but this is indeed a turning point."
"Before this, everyone in the hospital told me that as long as I study hard and work hard to recover, I can leave here and go to the beautiful world outside. They described to me many beautiful scenes and good things happening in the outside world."
"Do you believe it?" Bruce asked.
"At that time, my consciousness was very confused and I couldn't tell the truth from the false. But maybe if this incident hadn't happened, the sick person might have believed this statement and finally walked towards the normal path."
"But after that, the condition was completely hopeless. This is one of the main reasons why my condition has not improved."
"At that time, I fundamentally realized that everyone in this world has his own world. Their worlds collide and blend with each other to become the same world, and then they can love and know each other."
"When my world collides with someone else's world, there will be only two results. I will devour them or smash them."
"The world formed by everyone outside is like neatly arranged bottles, and I am the bowling ball. When I rush towards them according to the established healing track, there will be no second result except smashing them to pieces."
"Is this a morbid idea?"
"Yes, and I have seen the result of a bowling ball hitting a bottle once, and there is no need to happen a second time."
"So the morbidity creates the normal, and the normal desire is to be an ordinary person." Bruce also sighed and said: "He knew that he couldn't squeeze himself into the shape of a bottle, so he had to try to shrink a little and mix in the pile of bottles, hoping to I hope I won't be discovered."
"But it's not too successful." Schiller shook his head helplessly and said, "At least it was like this in my original world. I tried to cover up 80% of my abnormalities, but the remaining 20% still made trouble from time to time. But when I knew I was about to lose control, I chose to go to a more dangerous environment. "
"There I found some outlets for venting, but that was not a long-term solution. The morbidity was still hidden in my instincts, but he couldn't stay there forever. "
"And you came to Gotham again."
"Yes, I often want to believe in God because of this." Schiller smiled and said, "Here, everything about me has reached a delicate balance. It's not that I belong to Gotham, but that Gotham belongs to me."
"It's not that I belong to Gotham, but that Gotham belongs to me..."
Bruce in the spectator seat instinctively read this sentence in his memory, and then he felt a hot gaze like a heat ray shining towards him.
Lord Superman stared straight at Bruce.
"What did you say?"
"No, nothing, I just..."
"Repeat what you just said." A faint red light flashed in the eyes of Lord Superman, which made his eyes physically hot.
Bruce seemed a little helpless, and he had to say: "'It's not that I belong to Gotham, but Gotham belongs to me'."
"You should have thought so earlier." Lord Superman seemed to be talking to Bruce, but it seemed not to be.
"But this is not what I said, please don't put it on my head to prevent me from being held accountable for academic plagiarism one day." Bruce shook his head quickly and said like a machine gun: "This sentence is quoted from a private chat between Professor Schiller Rodriguez and me one day, or it may come from an article published by him that I have never read, but I am just quoting and reprinting. All the views expressed in this sentence only represent Dr. Rodriguez, and I am not responsible for any copyright."
Lord Superman was slightly stunned.
"Are you still in college?" he asked.
"No, I'm about to graduate from my master's program, and I'm applying for my first doctoral program."
"You've already gotten your doctorate?" Lord Superman seemed to remember something from a long time ago, and then asked: "Where's your bat suit? Aren't you Batman?"
Bruce didn't wear a bat suit. He wore a sweatshirt and jeans like an ordinary college student, and there was an apple dancing ballet printed on the front of the sweatshirt.
"I brought it, but I didn't wear it." Bruce yawned and said as if he was a little sleepy: "How should I put it? My first muscle-building cycle plan was completed quite well, so the bat suit is not so suitable, and it's more convenient to wear sportswear."
There are too many points in this sentence that Lord Superman doesn't understand. This is not something that his super brain can think and calculate to get the result.
First of all, it's amazing that Batman didn't wear a bat suit.
Whether it was before or after becoming a lord, Clark had stared at a question at two o'clock in the middle of the night countless times-Is Batman really a bat spirit?
If not, why does he wear that damn bat suit whenever he goes to see Batman, even when he's standing in the bathroom?
Secondly, it's absurd that Batman needs to gain muscle.
A person who can fight off 20 waves of aliens from 8:00 to 10:00 at night, stop more than 200 meteorites from hitting the earth from 10:00 to 12:00, catch about 20,000 criminals in the world from 12:00 to 2:00, and play a game with all the criminals in Gotham from 2:00 to 6:00, does he still need to gain muscle?
Sometimes Superman really doesn't know who is Superman.
The last and most ridiculous thing is that the bat suit doesn't fit?
And what Lord Superman can't understand the most - Bruce Wayne actually prefers sportswear to suits? !
The moment Lord Superman confirmed that the young Batman in front of him was not lying, he thought about whether this Batman was crazy.
Then, he watched Bruce turn around and ask Constantine for a cigarette, then he skillfully opened the package and took one out and held it in his hand.
Either he was crazy, or he was crazy.
Lord Superman thought that it was ridiculous for Batman to smoke, and it was even more ridiculous for Batman to smoke cigarettes from unknown sources. Batman would smoke cigarettes from unknown sources provided by Constantine, which was the most ridiculous of the ridiculous!
Superman's super sense of smell made him know that this thing must have been added with something, otherwise the Joker Arthur would not have had that dry mouth reaction at that time. That was the instinctive reaction of people with a history of drug use when they smelled the smell of drugs.
The next second he understood that Batman was definitely crazy.
Because Bruce turned around and asked the Joker for a light.
