Chapter 2748

That's right, it was when Robbins suddenly didn't know what he was thinking, kidnapped Sandman, locked him up, and seemed to have hypnotized him, eventually leading to Sandman's loss of control.

So looking at it this way, the source should still be Robbins, but the problem is, was it Robbins who kidnapped Sandman, or Sandman who kidnapped Robbins? No one knows.

Perhaps in their respective memories, this matter is completely opposite, and because this pollution itself can affect the spirit, they might believe in their own memories deeply, but their memories have already been changed.

That is to say, it is also possible that Sandman kidnapped Robbins, polluted him, and then let him go, pretending to be kidnapped himself, so the suspicion of the two of them is basically the same.

But thinking carefully, Schiller felt something wrong again. In fact, Robbins and Sandman's matter didn't happen the earliest. The earliest should be Mysterio changing his identity and forming a team.

Or according to the timeline, Mysterio perfectly changing his identity was the earliest, and there were two people involved in this matter, one was Mysterio, and the other was Sophia, which is to say, the suspicion of the two of them is also the same.

According to Schiller's own observation, it should be Sophia manipulating Mysterio, but it's also hard to say whether the two of them were acting together, or they actually couldn't perceive that their memories had problems.

But thinking carefully, Schiller still felt something wrong. He felt that he must have some omissions, or there was some place he didn't think of. He couldn't simply lock the suspicion on these four people.

Since forward deduction doesn't work, then backward deduction. Now Schiller roughly guessed who the pollutant came from. If it really was that pile of dog shit, then how did it get in?

As long as this point can be figured out, it can roughly be guessed who it could contact first, so it can be deduced who the source of the pollution is.

Schiller remembered a previous narrow escape invasion event. The Death of the Speed Force from DC invaded here, carrying a Laughing Egg on his body. Fortunately, it was the time when Legion's ability exploded, and it was stopped by a personality with time ability among Legion's personalities. The Laughing conspiracy didn't succeed in the end.

Will this be repeating the old trick? I'm afraid it's not that simple. The Laughing must have already known that invading here through the time flow is almost impossible, and because of copyright, he couldn't appear publicly here, otherwise, no matter what, he couldn't possibly fight against OAA.

That is to say, his method of entering must be both stable and secret. But Schiller thought about all the things that had happened during this period of time and didn't find any method he could use to drill a loophole and get in.

Having laid out in Marvel for so long, Schiller still had this bit of confidence. Since coming here, there haven't been many events beyond his expectations, and most of them were perfectly solved by him, further deepening his control over the universe. Now thinking about drilling a loophole is too late.

Wait, what if it's not now?

What if the Laughing actually invaded here earlier than anyone imagined? What if the Laughing had already invaded Marvel even earlier than when he appeared in DC?

Schiller suddenly realized that all this might be a trap of the Laughing.

He could actually have appeared in front of Schiller earlier, because after all, he had dealt with Dr. Anatoly before, and for some reason, he learned about the relationship between Anatoly and Schiller. Then he could actually have appeared before Cat Getan was saved.

But he didn't. He kept dragging it until very late, and it wasn't a sneak attack, but he had to send a letter first, announcing his arrival with great fanfare.

The Laughing indeed has this habit of opening champagne at the opening, but that is the Laughing in the comics.

The Laughing that Schiller knows was chased and killed by Dr. Anatoly before, and successfully survived, and developed the ability to lay eggs everywhere, not knowing where it came from, and even found out the relationship between Anatoly and Schiller. If only using the abilities of the comic version of the Laughing to speculate, he is very likely to have omissions.

The Laughing used a cognitive bias.

He appeared in DC now, and people would think he just appeared like other supervillains. But what if he had actually been causing trouble behind the scenes for a long time? What if he had already touched the edge of the big world, investigated the existence of Marvel, or even prepared for Marvel?

Maybe some people will say, if this is the case, then his using the Death of the Speed Force to carry the Laughing Egg to invade wouldn't be necessary, right?

But Schiller believes this is the key, because this fully demonstrated the danger of the Laughing, but hid his deeper danger. He let people know he had the ability to invade, but let people think he only invaded now, so he could drag everyone into a cognitive bias, that is, he had never invaded before.

And the facts might be just the opposite.

Schiller actually doesn't know very clearly whether the invincible predictive ability of the Laughing in the comics is easy to use, and whether there will be a reasonable reason for it to be expressed in reality. But even if setting aside this invincible prediction, he is Batman after all, and he also has the qualities that Batman should have.

Batman in every universe is an extremely brilliant liar. Various smoke bombs, psychological induction, and methods of diverting attention can be played out by them. So even if the Laughing only has the basic values of ordinary Batman, he can completely create such a trap.

Then assuming the Laughing did indeed come to Marvel before appearing in DC, how did he come?

Crossing the Origin Wall is a bit unrealistic. Schiller thinks so, because two universes are not neighbors. It's not that you can come directly to the next door after crossing that wall. The distance between these two worlds is infinite, and you must use special methods to come in front of each other.

In the case of God and Lucifer being present, the probability of the Laughing mastering this method and implementing it successfully is not very high. He shouldn't choose such an arduous method either.

Then there is only one possibility left. The thing that truly opened the connection between DC and Marvel is precisely the Battleworld created by Schiller.

In this world, characters from two different big worlds can communicate with each other, and there is basically no barrier.

Indeed, the first batch of people who entered the Battleworld were strictly screened. Basically, they were turned over from physiology to psychology. Schiller also specifically guarded against whether anyone had a Laughing egg inside their body like Bruce, so he checked their spiritual world completely, and there were no problems.

But that was the situation in the past. Now Schiller discovered that a kind of pollution that couldn't be checked directly from spirit and physiology appeared, and it was very likely to be the Laughing's means, which also means that the inspection at that time might have omissions.

This kind of pollution is too mysterious. It can't be found by turning the spiritual world, and it can't be seen by physical examination. Wanting to clear it can only let the polluted people die and then live, so with the technical means of the Battleworld at that time, it might be very difficult to find.

It is precisely this omission that gave the Laughing a chance to mix in.

Schiller had to deduce to a deeper level. As early as when Pride and Joker Jack entered Bruce's spiritual world together and dug out that egg, the misunderstanding might have already been produced.

Digging out that egg made Schiller realize that the Laughing might exist in such a way, so it is possible to ignore that the Laughing has other means.

It can even be said that the misunderstanding has existed since Schiller read the comics, because as everyone knows, the Laughing is best at prediction, so what Schiller guards against most is prediction. All the preparations Pride made were basically to guard against prediction.

No, no, at that time Schiller thought again, for the Laughing, if Schiller only knew that there was the ability of prediction, that would be the best, because this could greatly paralyze Schiller.

Then for the Laughing, that egg not being dug out is the best thing, because this can make Schiller always feel that the Laughing only knows prediction, and has no other abilities.

The egg is a reminder.

Tracing back to the source, how was the egg produced?

According to Lucifer, the original Schiller came to Cat Getan with huge power and blew up the source of the curse here at once. Those dangerous things also turned into eggs, including the Laughing and Doomsday, two almost unsolvable disaster-type villains.

It might be precisely because in the setting of the world, these two things are unsolvable, but the energy on the original Schiller was enough to blow up everything. These two rules conflicted, leading to a crash, so these two things compromised with each other and existed in a way that was not dead but harmless.

That is to say, in fact, because of the original Schiller, that egg appeared. This reminder was left by the original body.

Then assuming the original Schiller is Anatoly, that is to say, this reminder was left by Anatoly, the purpose is to hope that Schiller will not be blinded by the character setting of the Laughing in the comics, and understand as early as possible that the Laughing might have other abilities.

Did Anatoly know Schiller would come at that time?

If according to the previous guess, the order of the worlds Anatoly experienced should be, the world he was born in—DC Universe—the reality world where Schiller was thrown.

That is to say, in the DC Universe stage, Anatoly should originally not know about Schiller.

If he knew, then maybe his going to the reality world wouldn't be a coincidence, but specifically aimed at Schiller.

But this is not strange. After all, he dealt with Lucifer, and Lucifer knows the truth. Anatoly might know in DC that the soul of this little boy who has a bond with Lucifer was thrown into a certain universe, and this soul is the original owner of this body, and will return one day.

So he laid out in advance, made preparations, and after collecting enough energy, used the explosion to escape and cancel the account, and then left the energy in the body and the perfect layout to Schiller who came over, and this Schiller was also taught by him.

This answered a doubt Schiller had always had. At that time, when he was in the research institute, there were actually many optional entertainment activities. He could watch cartoons or read books like ordinary children, but Anatoly found him many comics, letting Schiller read comics when he was free.

This is also the main reason why Schiller can basically remember every American comic character. At that time, he was free in the research institute and finished reading all the comics Anatoly found. He couldn't say he didn't miss a single issue, but he basically read seven or eight out of ten.

Coupled with his super memory, even some small characters who only appeared once or twice, as long as he wanted, he could dig them out from the depths of his memory.

But there is a problem here, that is, Anatoly has such great ability, why didn't he come himself? Why did he have to go around Schiller?

What is so special about himself? Is it just because of a bond with Lucifer?

Schiller always feels it's not that simple. There might be deeper secrets on himself. This is the real motivation for Anatoly to do all this, but now the evidence is insufficient, and it is almost impossible to speculate.

And now the primary task is not to study himself, but to study how the Laughing used the Battleworld to pollute others and what kind of impact it had on the entire Marvel world.

At that time, the scale of the Battleworld was not particularly large, and the Marvel characters who entered it were not many. Although there were some from other universes, since the trouble now broke out in Schiller's universe, Schiller had to make the worst plan—one of the superheroes in this universe had already been polluted at that time.
