Chapter 2252: Late Autumn in Gold City (End)
About a few months ago, Pamela arrived as promised to renovate Shiler's garden. Although it was mainly to renovate the plants, the general structure of the garden also needed to be changed. It was at that time that Shiler discovered that his manor also came with a cellar.
Of course, at that time, the cellar was just an ordinary cellar, but after seeing this cellar, Shiler had an unusual idea.
When it comes to the strength of the protagonist halo, it must be the Batman of the main universe who is the strongest. After all, the world focuses on him, and he will definitely be the main force against the Batman Who Laughs later.
Then reminding him of the existence of certain crises is the highest priority. Relying on word of mouth in the magical world is obviously unreliable, because the vast majority of mages can't do anything, and Batman is not good at cracking those dark words full of metaphysics.
Then Shiler had to find a more straightforward way to remind him, so there was the Four-Pillar God sacrificial square that Batman saw before. That was built by Shiler using his own cellar.
There are no more Owls in this world, so naturally there is no Owl maze, but Batman doesn't know why there are no Owls in this world, so let's pretend there are.
Shiler is no less inferior to Bruce when it comes to being an Owl, but he takes a different route. The Owls under Bruce's leadership are a regular company with extremely high efficiency, while the Owls disguised by Shiler are a complete cult.
In terms of religious studies, Shiler also has many professional personalities, and the bishop mentioned when moving before was one of them.
Shiler used religion to cover his identity to achieve his goals in his previous life, but his disguise was not just a random mess, or rather, the disguise was incidental. He had truly studied religious studies and theology.
Because of this, Shiler was able to set up a religious sacrificial scene that even Batman couldn't see any flaws in. This is actually very difficult, because Batman's attainments in religious studies and theology are also very high. As long as the details are slightly wrong, it is easy to be discovered.
It is conceivable that with Batman's extraordinary memory, he can remember all the details on that sacrificial square, and he will definitely draw them out for repeated comparison after returning. The details must be carefully examined to serve as clues. Once there are some self-contradictions, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
So Shiler spent a few months meticulously carving, making all the details perfect, from the overall structure to the construction traces and the mistakes that ordinary people might make in carving details, all polished to an impeccable degree.
Immediately after, he lured Batman into the game. If he wanted to make him discover the underground square and suspect Barbatos without any flaws, he couldn't just take a megaphone and shout Barbatos's name in his ear. This had to be said inadvertently, and it had to be said by an existence that had nothing to do with most people present, but had a high level of life and power, and high credibility.
In the process of Pamela renovating Shiler's garden, Shiler naturally set his sights on the Green.
However, if he wanted to get the Green into the game, he had to get Pamela into the game first. If Pamela had always been so calm and rational, and had no interest in anything, it would be almost impossible for her to take the bait.
Pamela had described her mental state to Shiler before, but at that time Pamela didn't express her pain, and if a mental state doesn't make people painful, there's no need to treat it.
But obviously, academic pressure is the catalyst for all emotional illnesses. Approaching graduation, Pamela's mental state was getting worse and worse, and the mental problems that were not considered anything before faintly had signs of deterioration.
In the case of knowing Shiler, it was almost impossible for Pamela to find another psychologist, so she naturally came to Shiler.
In fact, even if it was a brain problem, Shiler had a way to control Pamela's state with simple psychological treatment. But since he could kill two birds with one stone, he wouldn't refuse.
The Green was forced by Shiler to solve Pamela's state, and he was naturally angry in his heart. As long as he added a fire, it was not unthinkable for it to break out on the spot.
In fact, Shiler didn't intend to let Batman hurt Pamela at all. After all, even if it would be healed in the end, the wound would still hurt. Although Pamela was not his direct student, Shiler didn't want to do such a thing.
But the bad thing was that after Pamela was healed, her previously suppressed desires were released, causing her to be not only a teenager, but also an extremely excited teenager.
Shiler really couldn't figure out how a person with the superpower to control all plants could get hit by a dart when Batman, an ordinary person, didn't even use one-tenth of his strength.
Of course, although it was a situation outside the plan, it could be considered to have achieved better results by mistake. The Green was furious and wanted to launch an attack here in a state of confusion.
Although Shiler's sacrificial square was fake, the dark energy Bruce stuffed into it was real. It was one of the black money he misappropriated, and he didn't take any protective measures and just put it underground.
When the Green fights, it needs to draw power from the land through its root system, and it also needs to find the veins of plants from the land to obtain green elements as the source of power.
It took root in Shiler's manor, so it is conceivable that its root system would inevitably touch dark energy. Although this thing has a certain inertia, if it actively touches and absorbs it, the pollution is quite strong.
In the universe, besides the existence of the emotional spectrum, there are also color elements, green, red, black, gray, etc. The color elements are not harmonious with each other, and some have had earth-shattering contradictions in the past.
The color elements are more exclusive than the emotional spectrum. The Green, which represents green elements, absorbed black dark energy. Although it is not the same thing as black elements, it is enough to make it uncomfortable for a long time.
When the Green went crazy, everyone present was a smart person. They could see that this big guy was not aiming at them at all, but was just going crazy on the spot.
The suspicious Batman would definitely be the first to find the reason. If he didn't find Bruce, he would find it. Many people present knew what kind of person Batman was, so it was not strange that Batman was the first to find clues.
The clues were naturally placed on the ground. The dark energy that Bruce stuffed into the sacrificial square was tossed to the ground because it was extracted by the Green, which was like a prominent road sign indicating that the problem was underground.
After coming underground, the official commentators, Bruce and Constantine, would act as dutiful tour guides, leading Batman to visit this place of interest, and answering his occult knowledge that he had never touched as much as possible.
Strange was not a plant, because if everyone was an actor, it would be too fake. Although Strange's acting skills were okay, compared to Bruce and Constantine, they were much worse. The ones who came from Cat Getan were darkness.
Batman really discovered the clues of the sacrificial square. Batman could see that this carefully crafted cult place clearly contained some religious laws. This is a mature cultural system, not something that a young evil god thought of on the spur of the moment.
Combining various materials, Batman constantly raised the threat of Barbatos. I am afraid that by the time they returned to Lex's hillside manor, the number of plans, backup plans, and backup plans for backup plans should have already exceeded five digits.
When they finished talking about all the plans, everyone couldn't help but click their tongues, but Shiler still didn't tell a part of it, just considering the privacy needs of the protagonist.
Loki and Talia were just branches of the plan. After hearing what Alberto said about Evans, Shiler knew that Alberto probably didn't want to be this godfather anymore.
However, judging from Cat Getan's current situation, he couldn't do it for long even if he wanted to. Instead of a disastrous destruction, it is better to retire decently and do more things Evans likes to do, so that he can stabilize.
So Shiler gave Alberto a hint, and Alberto also understood his hint, which was that the gang stronghold would definitely suffer within three days at the latest tonight.
Smart people can see where the gang's current weakness lies, so the action must be a precision strike. Shiler originally hoped that the Green could sweep the North District manor, but since Loki brought a better choice, there was no need to look far.
One advantage of doing this is that the Green doesn't need to move the battlefield, and the buildings along the way can be preserved. Although Gordon had been notified long ago, it is best to reduce losses.
The method Shiler taught Loki was also very simple. Considering your brother's blood pressure, don't think about other Thors. Anyway, you want to have a child to divert Frigga's attention, so why not find him a mother who doesn't save trouble, let your Asgardians fight together, and have a hearty custody battle?
Loki thought it was the same, but since he wanted to find a mother who didn't save trouble, it would be very difficult to win. He didn't want to repeat Hela's mistakes, and the method Shiler taught him was naturally induced manipulation.
Everyone has an evil side in their heart. The battle-hardened female assassin Talia wouldn't be a little white rabbit. In fact, treating human life as grass is not entirely something that training can achieve. Some people are born not to be able to, and no matter how cruel the training is, it can't be changed.
Talia could develop into what she is today, her father played a certain role, but she herself cannot be said to be completely innocent. There must be seeds of evil in her body, and all Loki needs is to stimulate them.
Of course, besides some character acting, the environment is also very important. Loki didn't need Shiler to tell him that they didn't need love between them, they just needed to stimulate hormones. The best way, besides seeing color and starting intent, is to use the suspension bridge effect.
In Shiler's research, the suspension bridge effect is not simply using fear to make the heartbeat accelerate and then confuse the senses. A more dangerous and nervous environment will instinctively stimulate people's desire to survive and accelerate the secretion of adrenaline.
Human arousal mechanisms are very complex. Leaving aside the physiological part, the spiritual aspect is also affected by hormones and brain work. And scientific research shows that in a dangerous state, these two will be fully mobilized to accelerate blood flow and enhance physical activity.
There are not many things that make Talia feel nervous and uneasy. Shiler is the most prominent one, so he personally knocked Talia unconscious and threw her into the prison, and what Talia said to Loki about Shiler's hobbies in cooking actually reflected that she was being stimulated by association.
The rest of the story doesn't need to be said. The dungeon collapsed, and Talia needed to take the injured Loki to escape, just like the life-and-death journey between her and Batman in other universes.
And when Shiler saw Loki again, he knew it was done by looking at his face.
Forgot to say, Loki held up a finger and added: "Frost giants can control the number of offspring, so we decided one each."
"Then Thor..."
Loki lowered his eyes and smiled and said.
"The child born to a human and a frost giant is destined to have defects... the same defects as me back then." ===== CHAPTER 2253 =====
