Chapter 1926: U: Beyond the Great Event (52)

~11 min read 2,053 words

The atmosphere in the screening hall was eerily quiet.

Although all the bystanders temporarily maintained silence, their moods were obviously different. Lord Superman and Spider-Man could be said to be confused.

Lord Superman was just a little more violent compared to other Supermen, or rather, other Supermen could be called saints, and Lord Superman just returned to being a bit more normal.

But the world of mental illness was still a bit too advanced for him.

It must be mentioned here that in the Cat Getan of the universe where Lord Superman is located, it is not dark, and even the brightness of Cat Getan in this universe is among the best in all universes.

Perhaps because of this, the Batman in this universe, commonly known as Gray Bat, is gentle in both temper and way of doing things, and is also a rare breed among Bats.

In general, the universe where Lord Superman is located is inclined to be positive, sunny, and reasonable, where everyone speaks human language.

Therefore, he might be even less able to understand the world of mental illness patients than other Supermen, because his way of dealing with them is to burn their brains—to be precise, to burn a certain part of the brain, making them become demented.

This led to him almost never understanding the group of madmen in Arkham Asylum, nor did he understand what kind of grudges Batman had with them. He had never seen it.

Thus, everything that happened on the screen gave him a great shock. He suddenly realized that the Batman he knew was actually a rare breed that was quite normal, while the vast majority of Batmans had mental illnesses.

Yes, Lord Superman now realized that, I'm afraid, except for the Batman he knew, all other Bats were abnormal, and each had their own kind of abnormality, crazy in a colorful way.

Lord Superman first saw Bruce, and then he found that Bruce's parents didn't die, but he didn't become a knowledgeable, wise, healthy, and sunny young man with aspirations as Lord Superman had expected, but became a street wanderer, and possibly even a crazy teenager.

Then he saw Bat-Bane and the Batman of the main universe on the screen.

Bat-Bane also looked like a normal person—young, strong, full of vitality, and the state felt like it was between Bruce and Batman. Lord Superman originally thought this state should be the healthiest.

He wouldn't develop into the gloomy personality of Gray Bat, who doesn't speak directly, has everything in expectation, but doesn't discuss anything with teammates, nor would he become the wild punk youth like Bruce.

As a result, this Bat-Bane didn't know what kind of madness he had caught. After saying a few unclear words to the reflection in the mirror, he suddenly went crazy.

Not only did he wake up from the dream, but he also directly tore the murderer apart. And he directly smashed the other party's head to pieces with his fist. Who exactly is the murderer?!

The people present couldn't see the hallucinations in Bat-Bane's brain. They could only see the external scene.

And from the perspective of a bystander, the whole thing is probably like this.

The narratives and inferences of Batman and Schiller were already very clear. The murderer in this level possessed the ability to pull people into dreams.

But limited by rules or his own abilities, he couldn't kill the duelists directly in the dream. And looking at his goblin-like thin body in reality, he definitely couldn't beat this group of big, strong humans.

So this murderer thought of a way, which was to pull this group of people into the dream, but by influencing their subconscious, control their bodies to move forward.

At the same time, he opened the bus door and let the bus speed along. This way, through the temptation in the dream, he could make the participants walk out of the bus door and jump off the bus in the dream without knowing it, leading to death or injury.

But precisely because this is a dream, and there is a mental patient who is too mental among the duelists, that is Schiller, a patient with personality fragmentation who is a bit fantasy-crazy.

Because the dream world and the consciousness space are on the same level, certain dark personalities in Schiller's consciousness space ran to the dream world and became existences even more terrifying than the ghosts set by the murderer.

They had various characteristics. Once stimulated, their actions would be subjected to inhumane attacks.

Then according to common sense, shouldn't Schiller's personalities, who are participants, be on the opposite side of the ghosts released by the murderer, and then Schiller's personalities kill the murderer's ghosts, and others find clues in the hospital to leave the dream world?

But the development of things next was like a wild horse that had broken its reins.

I don't know how, but these crazy personalities of Schiller were attacking indiscriminately. I don't know how, but these personalities seemed to target their own teammates, one chasing Batman and Natasha, one alienating Bat-Bane and Schiller.

That's fine. Later, the development of things became more and more outrageous.

I don't know what happened, but one of Schiller's personalities injured Batman and Natasha, and even made their wounds continue to deteriorate, causing Batman to have to self-harm and bleed to barely escape.

Another one was even more outrageous. I don't know why, but he suddenly appeared in front of Bat-Bane, and was able to partially materialize, directly pressing Bat-Bane to the ground, tearing off half of his face skin with his hand, making a whole room and Bat-Bane's body full of blood, and the screams could penetrate the entire building.

The more outrageous part, which was also the part that most of the bystanders present couldn't understand, came.

Bat-Bane, who looked normal before, didn't know which nerve was wrong after being torn off his face skin, and after seeing the Schiller in the suit in the mirror, he didn't run, and the two chatted.

Although they were not the same personality, the other party had just attacked you with an extremely aggressive personality and peeled your skin, and the next second you two were chatting in front of the mirror?! Is this reasonable?!

This gave Lord Superman a head full of question marks at the time.

A Schiller had just seriously injured you, making you almost roll on the ground in pain, and as a result, when he appeared again, you didn't say to give the glass a punch, you two just stood there and started chatting.

You can chat if you want, but this Schiller started moving his hands while chatting. Lord Superman really wanted to rush into the screen and ask Bat-Bane if he was sober, and if he remembered that the wound he touched was the one he just hit?!

From the perspective of a bystander, all of Schiller's personalities looked about the same. Although there were young and old, because they were reflections on the glass, they couldn't be seen clearly, and they looked like one person.

So in Lord Superman's view, this was someone peeling your skin a second ago, and you were chatting happily a second later. Isn't this crazy?!

Then the most outrageous part came.

The reflection of this Schiller didn't know what he whispered in Bat-Bane's ear, and Bat-Bane suddenly went crazy. He roared, and rushed toward the air in front of him.

And just at this time, the dream woke up, and Bat-Bane, because his seat was in the front, was still the person walking in the first place, and this murderer didn't know what was going on, and was just standing in front of Bat-Bane.

Bat-Bane didn't say to be stunned for a few seconds or recall what the situation was, but rushed over like seeing a murderer of his father when he saw this murderer, without any hesitation, tearing the other party's head apart.

And the most bizarre thing was that after Bat-Bane smashed the murderer's head with his fist, it was as if he was suddenly liberated. He was relieved.

Except for Bruce, all the bystanders didn't understand what he was relieved about.

Afterward, Schiller walked over inexplicably.

At that time, Lord Superman thought, even if you couldn't hit him in the dream, now that you are back in the real world, shouldn't you give him a punch?

As a result, Bat-Bane and Schiller hugged together.

And Batman and Natasha were also pitted by Schiller's personality in the dream. They didn't stand up to preside over justice and condemn Schiller for backstabbing his teammates.

The two sat there and went to sleep again.

Lord Superman was confused from beginning to end. If this were a movie, Lord Superman would definitely give them a high score of 0.1.

What about common sense? What about logic? What about causality?!

If it is said that Lord Superman doesn't understand, then Spider-Man is even more confused. Originally, he couldn't tell who was who, and it was hard to distinguish the four people participating in the competition, but then many Schillers who looked about the same appeared.

For a while, a certain Schiller appeared in front of Batman, for a while another Schiller appeared in front of another Batman, for a while a certain Schiller talked to someone, and for a while another Schiller talked to someone else.

Spider-Man is the kind of white boy who would happily exclaim when seeing a plane take off, but this movie made him sleepy.

And Constantine wasn't just sleepy. He fell asleep as soon as Manipulation appeared. He didn't listen, didn't look, and didn't think. Mental illness wouldn't be transmitted to me through brain waves.

The only ones among these people who understood a little were Bruce and Arthur.

On the one hand, they were Batman and Joker, so they understood these god-like conversations too well. On the other hand, they were both authentic old Gothamites.

Old Gothamites with the Stars and Stripes don't have the face to greet people when they go out without some cultivation in philosophy and theology. They are best at understanding such metaphors, mainly because I have no reason but I have literary quality, I have no upbringing but I have artistic cultivation.

"Then I will announce the betting results. It's a pity, everyone, none of you bet correctly." 【1926-62

A giant portrait of Bat-B appeared on the screen. Owen waved a hand, pointed at the screen, and said, "The first person to wake up is this Batman, and none of you placed a bet on him, so all your betting points are deducted."

"Wait a minute." Lord Superman extended a hand and looked at Owen, saying, "You can't just give us a result; what we need is the process and the reason."

"But gambling is supposed to only look at..."

"We aren't refusing to pay up, Mr. Host, but you have to let us know how we lost, right?" Spider-Man also said, "I feel that there must be something very important missing from this whole affair. You definitely cut out some footage, not letting us see the important scenes that pushed the plot forward."

"Although we placed our bets before the start, that doesn't affect the result, but you can't let us lose without knowing why. Otherwise, what is the point of us coming here to watch?"

Owen appeared somewhat troubled, and Constantine cleared his throat and said, "If I may be blunt, you filmed the scene too grandly. You only focused on filming the external scenery and completely ignored the characters' internal monologues. If you were to become a director, you would definitely produce a batch of trash films that only have big scenes."

"Hey! How can you..."

"Enough nonsense." Lord Superman frowned and said, "Play it for us again from the beginning, and film the perspective of every contestant."

"I also think you should adjust the perspective and then play it back for us, at least to make it worth the price of admission." Bruce curled his lip, looked at Owen, and said, "Otherwise, I will go out and tell everyone that coming here to watch is a complete waste of time, and you won't have any fun to watch either."

Owen was terrified.
