~11 min read 2,037 words

"Isn't this Black Widow?"

The voice of a younger Schiller rang in Batman and Seeing Natasha's ears. Seeing Natasha stared at the Schiller in the mirror in surprise and said, "Why are you here?"

"Tell you some good news, perhaps you already know, all the pathological Schillers under the Abyss have run out!"

Seeing Natasha slapped her forehead and said, "You... you guys... are you... forget it, I knew it long ago, Schiller is the greatest danger!"

"Who did we see just now?" Batman was always able to grasp the key points and extract information in the shortest time.

"Did you see what they looked like? What kind of clothes were they wearing?" The Schiller in the mirror asked.

"The first one was wearing a black shirt."

"That's Hunting."

"Tell us who he is and what his characteristics are." Batman requested very calmly.

"He is Hunting, one of Schiller's pathological personalities, also called Hunting. He is a killer personality, very good at observation and tracking, and full of patience, able to wait until the best opportunity to strike."

The Schiller in the mirror touched his chin and continued to introduce, "He has a pathological obsession with hunting, will follow a prey relentlessly until they die, and is not stingy about killing anyone who interferes with his hunt."

Seeing Natasha and Schiller looked at each other and immediately thought of the knife that had appeared behind the female ghost several times, so Seeing Natasha asked, "How does he choose his prey?"

"No pattern." The Schiller in the mirror shook his head and said, "Target one, kill them, then find the next one, that's it."

"There was another one wearing an ordinary T-shirt, but with a strange gray scarf around his neck."

"Uh oh, you've run into trouble." Schiller looked at the wound on Seeing Natasha's arm and said, "That's Gluttony. He eats everything, but he prefers flesh and blood."

"I advise you not to waste your effort." The Schiller in the mirror shrugged and said, "The smell of blood is the best bait. Unless you can make the wound heal completely, he is destined to chase you."

Seeing Natasha cursed through gritted teeth and then asked, "Then who else ran out?"

"Me."

"I mean apart from you."

"Do you look down on me that much? I successfully killed you at the time."

"You know that wasn't your credit alone. I mean, not the credit of one of your personalities alone."

The Schiller in the mirror curled his lips and said, "The good news is, you aren't the most miserable yet. The most dangerous one among us has targeted another young Batman."

"The most dangerous one? Who is he?" Batman narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Manipulation."

Just as Batman was about to say something, Schiller interrupted him and said, "Manipulation has no weaknesses. He always has a way to make the situation become what he wants, letting the person he chooses fall into the situation he hopes for."

"What exactly does he want to do?" Batman's voice deepened.

"Don't worry, he is the one who cherishes toys the most among us, and won't break any of them." Schiller smiled and said.

Batman and Seeing Natasha stared at him with suspicious eyes at the same time.

"You'd better worry about yourselves first."

As his voice fell, the Schiller in the mirror disappeared.

"Bang!"

The door panel of the first stall in the bathroom suddenly flew out. Batman instinctively hugged Seeing Natasha and fell to the side, not being hit head-on by the door panel, but the falling sharp corner scratched his back.

With a "Rip" sound, a wound more than ten centimeters long appeared on his back, and blood gushed out instantly.

Seeing Natasha looked up abruptly, and sure enough, the Schiller on the mirror had turned into the one wearing the gray scarf.

The female agent pulled Batman up, and the two ran toward the door quickly. Seeing Natasha shouted while running, "How exactly do we deal with them? We can't touch them at all."

"There must be a way." Batman's voice was still deep. He said, "This way, come in."

They hid in the preparation room where they had taken the bandages before. Batman turned around to let Seeing Natasha check his wound. When his clothes were lifted, the wound that was more than ten centimeters long and not deep had grown several millimeters deeper.

"Too troublesome." Seeing Natasha frowned and said, "We don't even know how they influence us. This is too strange."

Seeing Natasha began to help Batman debride the wound. While taking out cotton balls, she said, "This is much more intense than the murderers in the previous levels, and it's not just one, but several."

"You seem to know the Schiller from before."

"Yes, we died together before."

Batman didn't know how to evaluate this, so he asked, "Who is he?"

"I suspect he is Lust, but I cannot be certain." Seeing Natasha shook her head and said, "Previously, the two of us could be considered to have rolled into bed together, the kind where we bared our hearts and lungs to each other, but I didn't notice any reaction from him."

Batman instinctively felt that Seeing Natasha's description should be some physical scenes, but he didn't have time to think too much and said at a fast speed.

"The reaction of this relatively friendly Schiller is worth exploring. He said that the trait called Manipulation has no weaknesses, but he is actually hinting to us that the other personalities all have them."

"Or rather, the actions of the other personalities have patterns." Batman's brain worked at high speed. He said, "As the name suggests, Hunting will always target a goal. Obviously, he is targeting that female ghost now."

"This is actually his weakness, because if he is staring at the female ghost, we are safe. But if he kills the female ghost and we don't know the pattern of him shifting targets, then we might be targeted by him."

"Similarly, the action of Gluttony, who is targeting us now, also has a pattern. If we know in advance that he will chase the smell of blood, we can ensure we don't get injured as much as possible. This way, perhaps he will just wander aimlessly."

"But it's too late now." Seeing Natasha said, "Now both of us are injured, and splitting up isn't a good choice."

"We can't split up yet. We have to find out their patterns first. We..."

Suddenly, Schiller's shadow flashed in the glass again. This time Batman reacted quickly, directly kicking the door open and rushing into the corridor. They had just left when a pair of medical scissors stuck into the door panel.

"Don't be in a hurry to run." Batman said, "Since we can't run away, we might as well take this opportunity to observe his action pattern."

Batman looked up at the glass and said, "Now both of us are injured and bleeding. Which one will he choose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the medical scissors inserted into the door panel vibrated constantly, finally falling to the ground, then flew up again, flying toward Seeing Natasha at an extremely fast speed.

Batman tackled Seeing Natasha with quick eyes and fast hands, and the two rushed into another room in the corridor again. This time there were people in the room, and they were also awakened by the noise they made.

The people in the room this time weren't possessed by ghosts, but before they could scream, Batman and Seeing Natasha knocked both patients unconscious.

"He obtained my blood." Seeing Natasha said, "I guess this is the reason he targeted me."

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Do you remember? The Schiller in the mirror said before that Gluttony eats everything, so it makes no sense that he would only want your blood and not mine."

Suddenly Batman realized something and said, "The quantity of blood... quantity is the key!"

Batman pulled Seeing Natasha's arm, looking at the wound on her arm, and said, "When your wound started to deteriorate, we didn't realize what was happening, so he had been sucking your blood all along the way."

"And just now my wound also deteriorated, which means he also obtained my blood, but finally went toward you. It's possible because you gave him more blood. Gluttony, Gluttony... for Gluttony, quality isn't the key; the key is quantity."

Seeing Natasha raised her eyelids to look at Batman and said, "What have you thought of?"

"Give him my blood."

Seeing Natasha frowned, and just as she was about to say something, Batman said, "I'll give him more blood, and he will come to chase me, and then you can take the healing potion to recover the wound on your arm."

"But I..."

"You said you are a genetically modified human. Your recovery speed will be faster than mine. Even if the potion and physical fitness are weakened, your recovery ability is also weakened, but it's still faster than mine, and the recovery time needed is shorter than mine."

"But what about afterward? Even if I return uninjured, he will still keep chasing you and attacking you."

"Find blood bags." Batman said decisively, "A psychiatric hospital must have an emergency blood bank. When we were hiding in the power distribution room before, I checked the lines there. The blood bank should be on this floor."

"You go there to find blood bags and use more blood to lure him to another place so I can have enough time to recover."

Seeing Natasha didn't hesitate for half a second and turned to leave. Batman watched her back with an appreciative look, then punched the observation window on the door to shatter it, picked up a glass shard, and slashed hard on his own arm.

A large amount of fresh blood gushed out. The next second, Batman turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Schiller's shadow in the glass.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed against the wall. Bat-Bane rushed out from the door, turned back to Schiller, and said, "Stop following me. You are the source of all this trouble. I think we should go separately."

Schiller covered his forehead.

Bruce in front of the screen burst into laughter.

"Who exactly is that guy in the mirror?" Constantine frowned tightly, trying his best to shrink himself into the chair, and said, "I feel an extremely dangerous aura, very, very, very dangerous. He won't crawl out of the screen, will he?"

"Of course, please rest assured, dear audience, it is absolutely safe in the screening hall." Owen shouted loudly, "The duelists in the game absolutely cannot see us."

Constantine still shrank his neck and said, "That Schiller with white temples just now gave me a feeling that having any connection with him would be a huge trouble."

"He is the kind of person who will mold you into various shapes, then watch you suffer for your changes and state of existence, and feel heartfelt enjoyment." Constantine said very affirmatively, "Any curiosity about him is fatal. Can I apply to unilaterally block his image?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible." Owen shook his head.

"Then I'll sleep first. Call me when this segment is over." Constantine decisively chose to fall asleep.

"I hate such sanctimonious people." Joker Arthur tilted his head and said, "He is the kind of person who often walks in high society, using a perfect human skin to deceive everyone, but actually he is no more noble or clever than me. His human skin will always break."

"I don't see anything wrong with him." Lord Superman's expression remained very serious. He said, "Didn't he just appear in the mirror and say a few words to that Batman?"

"That's not as simple as a few words." Bruce smiled again and said, "Dim light, lights flashing at a certain frequency, a low and slow voice, what will this constitute?"

The other three looked at him.

"That Batman has been hypnotized, more or less." Bruce touched his lips and said, "And as far as I know, this is Manipulation's specialty, it can even be said to be his signature skill." ===== CHAPTER 1923 =====
