Constantine stretched out a hand, stopping Bruce's explanation, and said, "I can barely understand the others; it's nothing more than looking at the posture and movements of walking, and the traces left on the body and shoes. But how can you tell that the childhood family background was poor?"

"Look at the posture." Bruce looked at the three people around him, and the expression on his face was as if he were saying, can't you all see this?

"Don't sell it." Spider-Man shook his head helplessly and said, "I really don't know why you people are so mysterious. If you have any speculation, just say it quickly. What's so difficult about opening your mouth to speak?"

Bruce sighed slightly and then said, "Didn't you notice that she is slightly hunchbacked?"

"Do you mean that people with poor family conditions are all hunchbacked?" Spider-Man said with some disbelief, "But I am also a child from an ordinary family, and I am not hunchbacked, and not many of my classmates are hunchbacked."

"Have you ever had your teeth corrected?"

Spider-Man didn't understand why he suddenly changed the subject, but he still answered instinctively, "I had it corrected when I was a child. My uncle took me there. It seems my lower teeth were a bit uneven."

"This woman's hunchback is not a posture problem." Bruce pointed to the screen and said, "Her tooth occlusion has a problem. She has obvious deep overbite teeth."

"Ah?" The High General looked at Bruce and said, "You haven't even seen her face, how do you know she has a tooth problem?"

"Deep overbite refers to the upper teeth covering more than two-thirds of the area of the lower teeth. This will cause the chin to retract slightly, which will bring about problems of poor respiratory tract caused by mouth breathing."

"If it is not corrected in time during childhood and a similar occlusion is maintained, the body will lean the neck forward in order to open the respiratory tract to the maximum extent, and the spine will retract the shoulder bones in order to bear the weight of the forward-leaning head, so as to achieve the balance of the center of gravity, which will lead to hunchback."

"Deep overbite and other occlusion problems are not as obvious as uneven teeth. Basically, only families with better conditions or parents with relevant knowledge reserves will go to correct such tooth problems for their children."

"Having this problem shows that her childhood family conditions were definitely not good enough. Otherwise, the dentist she visited regularly would definitely have told her parents about this problem, so as to correct it for her in time."

The High General opened his mouth and then said, "I seem to have indeed gone to see a dentist regularly when I was a child, but my teeth have no problems at all."

"Okay." Spider-Man raised his hand and said, "That big guy in our class, he has to go to see a dentist regularly, and sometimes he has to ask for leave, but most of the people in our class can't afford the consultation fee for regular dental visits, and some people even have very uneven teeth and no money to correct them."

"This is not theology." Bruce emphasized, "Everything has very rigorous logic to support it."

"Have you ever thought that your psychology professor might be like this too?" Constantine chuckled and then said, "Geniuses can never understand fools, and you can't possibly be an all-rounder."

"I am." Bruce said.

"So what we are seeing now is the past of this Batman?" Spider-Man widened the spider compound eyes on his uniform, trying to figure out the current situation, and said, "Being able to attend this kind of party, he should be quite rich, right?"

"He is the richest man in the world."

"Wow!"

"But this is probably not Batman." Bruce shook his head and said, "This is not the state of Batman when observing others."

The woman kept walking forward until she turned around. Her figure became as blurry as everyone else's. One could only see that she was talking to someone else at the edge of the dance floor.

Not to mention the lip shape, even whether the other person was a man or a woman couldn't be seen at all, until she turned her back again and walked towards the washroom, her back became clear again.

"It seems she is the prey." Bruce said a sentence that was unclear.

The field of vision followed the woman to the washroom. Knowing that the woman walked into the compartment of the washroom, the owner of this field of vision actually followed in.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Civilization model Spider-Man immediately shouted. Before he could express his opinion, the next second the field of vision accelerated sharply, pulling open the door of the compartment. The back of the woman who was organizing her clothes stiffened.

The field of vision slowly moved downward, a blood-red knife was pulled out from the body, and the woman fell forward, but was held by a hand when she was about to hit the wall.

The screening room was eerily silent.

This murder case happened so unexpectedly, but the High General suddenly turned his head to look at Bruce and said, "You knew it long ago?"

"Only part of it." Looking at the gazes cast by everyone, Bruce nodded and said, "Yes, this is Schiller."

Bruce signaled Owen to rewind. Owen rewound the image to a certain moment in the corridor. Just as he stepped into the washroom, the ceiling light of the washroom flashed, and what was reflected in the mirror was Schiller's young face.

"Is he a murderer?" The High General frowned.

Bruce shook his head slightly.

The field of vision became hazy again. When it appeared again, that huge painting flashed by, and only Constantine called out his name: "The Education of Cupid."

Before he could say the meaning of this painting, Owen paused the screen and said, "The image to be played next is significantly higher than the age level that everyone can watch. Please forgive me for blurring some parts."

The High General was about to ask what was going on, but the terrifying scene made him swallow all his words back into his stomach.

If one had to describe the scene in front of him, it was blurred but not completely blurred.

That fresh red live fish on the ground only blocked some parts that were relatively important for a living person.

After being stunned for about ten seconds, Spider-Man turned around and vomited violently, and the High General's lips also trembled a little.

It's not that they hadn't seen dead people and corpses, but this thing, which we can tentatively call a corpse, had an extremely eerie, fresh vitality between life and death.

Because she was jumping.

It was really jumping like a fish. The skin and blood vessels on her arms had already stuck to the body, and the gaps between her legs were also stuck together, so the whole person was jumping constantly like a fish that had just landed on the shore.

This scene was not disgusting, but eerie, or what Owen called mental pollution.

Even Constantine felt a bit uncomfortable. He usually saw many people who had been tortured by demons to the point of being unrecognizable.

But the difference between the two lies in the fact that demons are purely for torturing them and didn't intend to create anything, so the debtors they found, although very miserable, were mostly screaming in pain. The picture and the atmosphere state were corresponding, anyway, they were all miserable.

But the scene they were seeing now was not. They were seeing this scene in the first person, and in the eyes of the owner of this field of vision, this scene was not terrifying, eerie, or miserable, but extremely vital, full of energy, and even artistic, a kind of atmosphere full of aesthetic feeling.

This sense of contradiction and disharmony brought people a huge fear, but it also made people unable to say why they were afraid. There were all kinds of sighs, and only silence remained.

The moment the siren sounded from far to near, everyone saw God on the spot and breathed a sigh of relief.

This also included Bruce, but not Arthur. Clearly, he was one of the appreciators of this artwork. He even imitated the jumping of the live fish with his palm and then chuckled in a low voice.

Immediately after, the perspective began to pull away. They first saw Schiller's head, and then saw the heads of more police officers rolling in like fried beans. They were all holding guns with both hands. Looking from the top, they surrounded half and half of the petals with their arms.

When all the petals gathered at the blood-colored stamen, Schiller slowly fell towards the blood on the ground, lying among everyone with his limbs stretched out, and closed his eyes.

The work was completed.

This was the unanimous thought of everyone at this time. Several of them couldn't help but speak their hearts, and then looked at each other with horrified eyes.

The High General looked at Bruce with a slightly hesitant gaze, Constantine licked his lips and also looked at Bruce with a similar gaze, Spider-Man thought for a moment and looked at Bruce with a complex gaze, followed by Arthur staring at Bruce with an interested gaze.

Their gazes contained many other meanings, but only one signal was conveyed completely consistently—"Are you okay?"

"Thank you, I'm fine." Bruce nodded to the left and right and said, "Have I said it before? I graduated as an excellent graduate."

The three people except Arthur were like hearing some horror story, or this was actually a horror story.

Would a graduate who graduated excellently from a serial killer be a sunny and cheerful big boy?

Suddenly, the High General's gaze became vigilant, and Spider-Man looked at him like a class enemy.

Bruce waved his hand and said, "Just kidding. For most of my academic career, this professor had a headache about my grades. The time we understood each other was a minority, and most of the time we were torturing each other."

Several people just breathed a sigh of relief, and soon felt that something was wrong again. Would the one who tortured each other with such a psychopath be another psychopath?

Just at this time, the image on the screen had switched back to the dream. Now everyone understood why the Bat-Man stood up in a hurry and went to the bathroom.

The last scene was too eerie. Just looking at Schiller's face on the opposite side made one feel a chill down the back. I wouldn't be able to do it either.

And when the Bat-Man finished washing his face and looked up to see Schiller in the mirror, it was even more like a jump scare.

Spider-Man screamed directly. A red light flashed in the High General's eyes. Only Bruce smiled. He knew that the real good show had just begun.

And the High General understood a little bit why the Bat-Man didn't punch this mirror immediately.

Although theoretically speaking, these Schiller personalities that look like spirits have no lethality, but what if you break the mirror and he runs out?

This is a hypothesis that is scarier than any ghost story. For the sake of safety, it is better for him to stay in the mirror.

"Pay attention to the lights." Bruce reminded.

Everyone immediately noticed that the image on the screen was flickering constantly. Owen immediately waved his hand and said, "It's not me who did it, it's just like this."

Then people found that the only light source in the whole picture now, which is the ceiling light above the bathroom, was flickering as if it were broken.

But if you observe carefully, this is not irregular flickering, but it is not a designated rhythm either, but flickering along with the tone of Schiller's speech in the mirror.

When he raised his tone, the light brightened, and when he lowered his tone, the light dimmed. But Schiller's tone in the mirror was fluctuating, and the light kept flickering along with his voice.

And the Bat-Man standing in front of the mirror was backlit to some extent. He couldn't see the light that was flickering, but he could see his own faint reflection in the mirror flickering, and the shadow cast on the wall was also shaking.

It was as if he was not a real person, but that helpless, lonely ghost that could disappear at any time.
