Chapter 1945

As the saying goes, it's hard for an honest official to judge family affairs. Essentially, it's because people will unconsciously beautify their behavior in words. No matter how powerful a judge is, it's impossible to make people tell the complete truth, so it's inevitable that both sides have their own reasons.

But it's too difficult to determine who is right, and both sides understand this, which is why they dare to lie unscrupulously.

However, in the DC universe, there is an artifact that can be called a judge of family affairs, and that is the Lasso of Truth.

When Bruce learned from the Diana of his own universe that she had such a good thing, he often borrowed the Lasso of Truth to mediate family disputes.

For example, who grabbed whose things between Jason and Tim, whether Dick's workbook was really bitten by Aisha, and who brought the 'beating cabbage' to school and beat the principal into the hospital.

Through rich experience in use, Bruce discovered that the Lasso of Truth isn't very useful for asking questions that are too complex, because even if you don't tell lies, the truth has many ways of answering.

But for yes/no questions, the effect of the Lasso of Truth is unimaginably good, because there are only two answers, yes and no, so there is no possibility of blurring the focus. Therefore, as long as the question is asked properly, one can get an answer with an accuracy close to 100%.

Wonder Woman signaled to Bruce with her eyes, and Bruce prepared to start asking questions.

"Do you understand each other?"

"Yes." "Yes."

Lord Superman answered first, and Batman answered later. Clearly, Batman had higher resistance to the Lasso of Truth.

"Then do you feel the other party understands you?"

"No." "No."

Wonder Woman immediately frowned.

"Are you willing to understand each other?"

"Yes." "Yes."

"Do you feel you have the ability to understand each other?"

"No." "Yes."

The answer appeared to have a divergence for the first time. Lord Superman gave a 'no' to this question, meaning he felt he was willing to understand Batman but didn't have the ability to understand Batman.

But Batman was willing to understand Superman and felt he had the ability to understand Superman.

It seems the key to the problem lies here. Bruce looked at Wonder Woman and said: "Do you feel Batman is very hard to understand?"

Wonder Woman thought very seriously for a while and then said: "I feel that for anyone, Batman cannot be considered easy to understand."

"Have you tried?"

"I have thought about it, but rarely have I reached helpful conclusions. Most of the time, Batman is baffling to me."

So Bruce asked again.

"Batman, have you ever tried to let them understand you?"

"Yes."

Lord Superman and Wonder Woman were stunned.

"When?" Wonder Woman asked in disbelief.

"All the time." Batman answered calmly.

Wonder Woman looked at the Lasso of Truth on them again, as if wanting to determine if this was real, but she still lost to her common sense. Under the Lasso of Truth, it's impossible to lie.

"You will naturally think it's a problem with expression." Bruce sighed and said: "Because Batman's way of expression is indeed unique."

Lord Superman and Wonder Woman stopped talking, finally deciding to forgive this young Batman for his beautification of Batman's behavior and his inaccurate wording.

But when the transmission of information is ineffective, you can't just check the output end; you also have to check the input end.

Bruce snapped his fingers and then looked at Lord Superman and asked: "Have you ever felt that Batman was trying to let you understand him?"

This time Lord Superman was silent for a long time, and the Lasso of Truth didn't tighten, seemingly recognizing the question he was thinking about.

"Perhaps. I have a kind of intuition, a very vague feeling, very unclear. I always thought it was my illusion."

"Have you made any response?"

"Of course, but it didn't seem to be of any use."

Bruce rubbed his chin, examining the two. Wonder Woman walked over, nudged him with her elbow, and said: "Why don't you ask them if they truly treat each other as friends or something?"

"Because such obvious questions don't need to be asked."

Bruce thought for a while and then muttered to himself: "Why didn't this situation appear in that universe?"

This was the fundamental reason why he concluded that Lord Superman and Diana also had problems, because the Batman of the main universe didn't seem to have this situation.

He had heard about the general situation of that universe from the children who had traveled to the main universe and from Schiller, and through his observation of the Batman of the main universe, Bruce determined that he was much sicker than the Batman of this universe.

But although the Justice League of that universe was only in its infancy, after experiencing a major Darkseid event, no divergence occurred. Although the cooperation between them still needed to be polished, their getting along was surprisingly free of problems.

Bruce went through what Lord Superman said and the general situation of this universe in his mind again. He felt he had a clue, but he was just a bit short of grasping the key.

This was the key case material for his doctoral application, so it couldn't go wrong, Bruce thought, repeatedly pondering where the problem lay.

But after going through all the behaviors and even details of Lord Superman and Batman in his mind, even the tone of a sentence and a movement or a look, and analyzing and refining them repeatedly, he still felt a fishbone in his throat, one move short of victory.

In the end, Bruce still had to resort to the psychoanalysis method he wasn't good at at all. But when he needed it, he regretted reading too little. Only after analyzing did he find he couldn't analyze at all. It couldn't be called 'reading and reciting', it could only be called 'returning it all to the teacher'.

Bruce wanted to ask for help from the sidelines, but the problem was that Owen wasn't between the teams now, and there was no way to contact him temporarily. And if this call went through, his doctoral application would definitely be rejected 70 more times.

Suddenly, Bruce thought of a way.

He said to Wonder Woman: "You watch them two first, don't let them move, I'll be back in a while."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to flip through some books."

After speaking, Bruce walked into the house. Ensuring that the three people outside couldn't see him at all, Bruce began to chant a spell.

The three people outside the house only saw a holy light descend from the sky, but it disappeared in an instant. All three widened their eyes in surprise.

Bruce returned to Heaven.

Bruce had already discovered that the Battleworld might be a place stuck between two worlds, but its authority wasn't clearly higher than the supreme existence of the two worlds. It could only be said that it had obtained authorization to hold a networking event.

So the superpowers of the heroes of the two worlds could be used here, then Bruce's status as an angel was still valid. No one could stop an angel from returning to Heaven.

Bruce read the 'return to city' spell, but he didn't go to Heaven. He came directly to the Sanctuary and used the portal in the Holy Spring to come to the Dream World.

Afterward, he found the Dream World and began to summon Constantine, the current Dream Lord, in the Dream World.

Constantine also seemed to have entered the Battleworld. Bruce could feel his summoning power getting weaker layer by layer, but in the end, Constantine still felt his summoning, and he also read the 'return to city' spell.

Constantine was stunned when he saw Bruce. Before coming, he didn't know who summoned him. Seeing Bruce, he turned and wanted to leave.

"Don't go, do me a favor."

About 5 minutes later, Bruce came to Schiller's subconscious. The Dream World was originally a world sunk below everyone's subconscious, theoretically capable of leading to everyone's subconscious.

After entering the subconscious, Bruce kept floating up, but he didn't enter the tower directly through the hole in the floor of the Tower of Thought. Instead, he came to the abyss and began to shout for help in the abyss.

After a while, a figure with half-long hair appeared by Bruce's side. He stared at Bruce and said: "Didn't you just finish your graduate studies? Why, can't you finish your thesis again?"

"It's not a thesis this time."

The half-long-haired Schiller breathed a sigh of relief.

"This time it's a doctoral application."

The half-long-haired Schiller turned and left.

"I don't need you to help me write it this time." Bruce grabbed him and said: "Take me up, help me avoid Pride. Is Greed there?"

"You expect him to write it for you? Do you know how much that costs? And if you find the normal state, it will be very easy to be discovered by Pride. We'll all be in big trouble then!"

"I want to look at the materials in the memory bank, I need someone to lead the way." Bruce tugged at Schiller's arm again and said.

"You should have said so earlier. I'll take you up."

Not long after, Bruce came to Schiller's memory bank related to professional knowledge. This could be called the most complete psychology database in the world, and it also came with countless psychoanalysis experiences.

Bruce began to search for similar cases at the fastest speed, then found there were too many cases to finish searching. Finally, he chose to flip through the textbooks.

After flipping for a while, Bruce suddenly stopped his gaze on a few lines of text.

"Self-exploration period, also known as the spiritual transformation period, refers to the period when people gradually perfect themselves due to age growth or major life changes..."

Bruce suddenly realized. He thought of the universe where Lord Superman was. They had just experienced the death of Flash, Superman killed Luthor and established the Justice Lords to purge criminals, unifying the entire Earth.

For Superman and Batman, these were all major life changes. The death of a friend, the change in the way of executing justice, and the major achievements made would all make them start to think about themselves, and at the same time, map themselves through others, and understand others through a new self.

"During this period, people's views on things and people will be unpredictable, sometimes even diametrically opposed, but the process of rebuilding and improving a new self is inevitably accompanied by spiritual depression and pain."

"So they will be more inclined to look inward and ignore connections with others, manifested as being overly self-centered, distracted, and irritable and moody due to the pain of self-shaking."

"Sounds like a rebellious period." Bruce said softly: "But this should be the problem."

Then he continued to look down. Below mentioned the evil consequences of not guiding people in the spiritual transformation period well, or even over-stimulating them, as well as the correct way to guide them.

Bruce looked for a long time, determined that all the details were recorded in his brain, and then read the 'return to city' spell again.

But this time, as soon as he returned to Heaven, Bruce ran into Uriel, who was inspecting appearance and attire. Uriel pointed behind him.

Bruce looked back, there was no one behind him. He turned back to look at Uriel, and Uriel flapped the wings behind him.

Only then did Bruce remember that in Heaven's appearance and attire regulations, all angels must wear wings and halos correctly. Bruce inherited Gabriel's status and was one of the seven Archangels like Uriel.

With a 'swish', Bruce revealed his wings, and Uriel nodded with satisfaction and walked away.

Only then did Bruce walk into the Holy Spring and follow the road signs he came from back to the house in Lord Superman's base.

As soon as he landed, Bruce saw three figures standing in front of the door staring at him.

The next second, Bruce saw three dumbfounded faces. Lord Superman, Batman, and Diana were all staring at Bruce behind him in shock.

Bruce turned his head in confusion, there was still no one behind him.

Then he saw three pairs of holy, huge feathered wings.
