Chapter 1766: Summer in Fool's Village (15)

In the Iceberg Restaurant, Cobblepot looked at Shiler opposite him with some curiosity and asked: "Do you think Bruce can successfully manipulate Talia?"

"There are many ways to manipulate," Shiler put a piece of lettuce into his mouth, and after finishing it, said: "Oswald, you have to know that the vast majority of people in this world won't obediently sit in your clinic and give you the opportunity to peek into their inner world. Usually, the only ones who will let you do this are your friends, and friends don't need manipulation."

Cobblepot paused, but still said somewhat confusedly: "Then how to influence the other party from a spiritual level?"

"Sometimes you can also take some more direct means," Shiler said as if he remembered something: "For example, some means that Batman is good at."

In the Wei En Grand Hotel restaurant, Bruce also fell silent after saying those words. Talia didn't wait for the long-winded speech she expected.

So she turned her head to the side, let two strands of black hair cover half of her face, and looked out through the hazy glass of the Gothic window. Cat Getan's weather hadn't completely cleared up yet.

Suddenly Talia showed a smile, turned her face back to look at Bruce and said: "Actually, I have never agreed with my father's stupid ideas, including his wanting to reverse the world order, wanting to control the future of mankind through a ridiculous assassin organization. That is stupid to the extreme."

"This world should belong to the strong," Talia sat up straight, looked at Bruce and said: "You could have done it, but you are unwilling to do so, so I can only settle for the second best."

"But why not think about this question carefully?" Talia looked at Bruce and said: "You can completely not throw the candle into the fireplace. You can let them shine together, and your family won't be blamed, as long as you make them all shut up."

"Have you really not thought about it, or is there someone who doesn't want you to think? You think my evil comes from my father, then where does your justice come from?"

"It seems you have investigated me, Miss Talia," Bruce put the salmon piece on the fork, covered it with sauce, put it into his mouth, and said: "You think someone influenced my choice, making me choose to follow the rules and live under social rules, instead of severely damaging the rules."

"Isn't it? If not, what reason do you have to waste your talent?"

Bruce shook his head and said: "The facts are exactly the opposite of what you think. What Shiler taught me was not justice. He was more like fishing me out of the framework of justice and throwing me into another world that is diametrically opposite but broader."

When Talia looked at those blue eyes again, she found that the appreciation and curiosity in them were gone, leaving only a chilling coldness.

Talia suddenly realized something. Suddenly, uncontrollable dizziness made her vision start to blur. Talia opened her eyes in shock, and then fell forward uncontrollably.

In the second before Talia's eyeball, who was leaning forward, poked onto the fork, an arm supported her. Bruce, wearing a neat suit, hugged the unconscious Talia around the waist with his arm, picked her up from the chair, and walked towards a room on the same floor of the hotel.

Lex Luthor was waiting for him in the room. Bruce placed Talia on the chair in the center of the room. He looked at Talia's beautiful face expressionlessly and reached out to take a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him.

"You are shockingly evil," Lex stared at the unconscious Talia with his hands on his hips and said: "Fortunately, I used the excuse of getting a new computer to divert your helicopter engine, otherwise we would both be thrown into the Cat Getan River by him."

"So we have to be quick," Bruce said while opening the wine bottle stopper: "If caught by him, we will definitely be executed by justice. Don't you know how much aliens love to meddle in other people's business?"

Lex sighed deeply, looked at Bruce with a complex gaze and said: "You might as well be Batman."

After Bruce opened the wine bottle stopper, the rich wine aroma spread in the room. Almost instantly, Bruce and Lex entered Talia's dream together.

After parting with Cobblepot, Shiler drove back to Rodriguez Manor. Merkel greeted him at the door and said: "Mr. Wei En and the others left just a few hours ago."

"Did they leave together?"

"No, Mr. Luthor said he was going to the Luthor Group headquarters in Cat Getan to get a new computer for Mr. Kent, so he left. Mr. Wei En said he had an appointment and left more than ten minutes later than him. And Mr. Kent went to buy ice cream for Barry and Harley. He should be back soon."

Shiler raised his chin slightly, showing a look of realization. He pushed open the door and walked into the manor. Sure enough, he saw Barry and Harley each holding an ice cream, their faces covered in it, while Clark stuffed the cone into his mouth. He was very surprised when he saw Shiler.

He was chewing something, so he couldn't speak. Clark kept gesturing with his fingers, which probably meant "I came here to find Bruce, but they both left."

Shiler immediately realized that it must have been Bruce who dragged Lex to do something, and then found an excuse to divert Clark. From their behavior of diverting Clark, it could be seen that what they were going to do was definitely not anything good.

Shiler didn't need to guess to know that Bruce was prepared to answer the psychology test paper with chemistry this time.

Shiler walked to the opposite side of Clark and sat down. He just wanted to say something when he suddenly frowned. He felt a disturbance coming from the dream world.

Shiler possessed the authority of the Dream God, so he could naturally feel certain changes in the dream world. And he was very familiar with the dreams of the people around him, so if there was any abnormality in their dreams, Shiler could detect it immediately.

After Shiler was stunned for a moment, he showed a smile. Clark didn't understand what was going on and wanted to ask but was afraid of disturbing Shiler. Just when he was hesitating, Shiler took the initiative to say: "Clark, didn't you bring your cat and dog to Cat Getan this time?"

"Uh, why should I bring them?" Clark said somewhat confusedly: "I just came to fix a computer. They can't help much, right? And if I bring them, what if they break the computer again?"

"So they were the ones who broke your computer before?"

"To be precise, it was Krypto, but the Bat-Cat also had responsibility. The two of them fought, which affected my computer," Clark showed a miserable expression and said.

"Then have you ever thought that your dog might be very guilty about this? You rushed over to fix the computer and didn't even give it a chance to apologize. What do you think it will do?"

Clark suddenly opened his mouth wide. He turned his head left and right to look around and said: "Krypto wouldn't have found his way here, would he?"

"He flew to Cat Getan, but didn't know where you were, and didn't dare to make a big scene. And the Bat-Cat gave a good method. They decided to find you in the dream world."

Shiler's smile never left his face. He took a napkin from Merkel and wiped the faces of Barry and Harley, who were covered in ice cream. But his eyes were slightly unfocused, as if he was distracted and paying attention to the situation elsewhere. It wasn't until he felt Clark's gaze that Shiler came back to his senses and said: "Unfortunately, there happen to be two people in Cat Getan planning to do bad things, and your dog is just as righteous and brave as you."

Clark took off with a "whoosh."

When he arrived at the Wei En Grand Hotel, Krypto was chasing Bruce and Lex around, and it was in the real world, not in a dream.

Krypto and the Bat-Cat entered dreams to find Clark in Cat Getan, very close to the dream bubbles of Gothamites. At that time, Lex and Bruce were digging a hole into Talia's subconscious through the dream world and were caught red-handed by Krypto.

No one can expect a dog's worldview to be very complex. Krypto's moral view mostly comes from Clark. These two men were sneaking around trying to smuggle into a woman's consciousness world. Could they be doing anything good?

Krypto struck with a heavy punch on the spot. Bruce and Lex didn't expect that they would be bitten by a dog while walking properly on the road of the dream world.

After seeing the true face of the other party, they hurried back to the real world, because they knew that the dog of the helicopter engine had come, so could the helicopter engine be far behind?

By then, if Clark saw them, they had drugged a woman and put her in a room, and the room was full of the smell of alcohol, it would be completely unexplainable. Clark would really pack them both and throw them into the Cat Getan River.

Fortunately, Shiler's question slightly delayed a little time. Bruce and Lex transferred Talia to another room, but Krypto, who returned to the real world, was not so easy to deal with. Just as Clark arrived, he saw Bruce and Lex being chased around.

How the three of them cleared up the misunderstanding will not be mentioned for now. Here, Talia had already woken up, and it just so happened that Bruce and Lex were entangled by Clark, giving Talia a chance to escape.

Talia roared in her heart while running—isn't it said that Batman is a messenger of justice? Damn, there's a hooligan!!!

Talia, known as the daughter of the demon, is not a pushover. To put it bluntly, she is also a lunatic. Her mental state is no more normal than that of Gothamites. She found Bruce with the intention of falling in love and flirting, and Bruce also talked to her about life, but in the end, it was still a trap. How could Talia not be angry?

Talia, full of anger, didn't choose to leave Cat Getan directly, but took advantage of Bruce and Lex not knowing where they went, turned back to the Wei En Grand Hotel, and successfully found a wine bottle stopper in the room Bruce took her to.

Talia didn't even need to smell it carefully to feel that the smell of the wine liquid on the bottle stopper was exactly the same as the liquid in the wine pool under the Cat Getan Cathedral.

Instantly, Talia's target turned to Shiler.

So I was calculated by the two of you, teacher and student?! To be precise, was I calculated by the teacher arranging the student?! So it turned out that Shiler took a step back and let her go at that time because there was a bigger trap waiting for her later?!

Talia found that she was not only played by this pair of teacher and student together, but also played by them separately once. Her anger level exploded on the spot, and she ran towards Rodriguez Manor without thinking.

Talia, whose head was flushed with anger, didn't notice that the manor butler, who often haunted various parts of the manor, was now cowering in his room, and the two children who were playing in the garden and shouting were now honestly squatting in the study doing homework.

And the figure standing in the hall checking the wine cabinet was wearing an ochre three-piece suit, a deep purple tie, and the shiny luster of ruby cufflinks exposed at the edges of the sleeves. ===== CHAPTER 1767 =====
