Chapter 2848: The Great Battle of the Lego Minifigures! (Part 13)

~11 min read 2,041 words

A lonely and desolate figure walked step by step back into the gate of the manor in the night.

Accompanied by the 'bang' of the gate closing, Batman threw away the armor on his body one by one, and after turning around, he put on red silk striped pajamas.

Alfred was still so thoughtful, having already prepared hot tea and cookies on the coffee table. Batman threw himself onto the soft sofa with a 'bang', lying on his side on the sofa, supporting his head with his hand, watching the midnight program on TV listlessly, and threw a cookie into his mouth.

Unknowingly, there was only one cookie left. Batman reached out to take it while staring at the TV screen, but the next second he touched another hand, and he let out a 'wow' and bounced up.

Batman turned his head and looked at the figure sitting on the sofa on the other side as if he had seen a ghost. The other party picked up the last cookie and threw it into his mouth, took another sip of hot tea, and showed a satisfied look.

Batman stared at him.

Shiler, leaning on the sofa, was completely unaware, watching the noisy midnight family theater on TV with great interest, and even had time to joke with Batman, saying, "I bet the male lead and the female lead will break up in less than three episodes. They are not on the same path at all. And the one behind him, yes, that female colleague holding the phone, will immediately take advantage of the situation, and looking at her appearance, she definitely wants to use the child to get to the top..."

Batman was originally angry that he broke into his house and ate his cookies, but he was also a bit curious after being told. He curled his lips and said, "No, impossible. The male and female leads have a good relationship. I watched this TV series the day before yesterday. They are childhood sweethearts."

Shiler snorted coldly and said, "Don't believe it, just watch."

This kind of family short drama doesn't have a long time per episode, probably about 15 minutes. In fact, clues began to emerge at 20 minutes. The female lead ran out because of a quarrel and met the second male lead on the side of the road. At this time, Batman knew it was going to be bad.

After barely watching two and a half episodes, the male and female leads were already at odds. The female lead ran to find the second male lead, and the third party Shiler pointed out earlier successfully took the top spot, and even secretly changed the safety supplies.

Batman 'che'ed, took out the remote control and wanted to change the channel. He said, "You must have watched this show in advance, but I'm not someone addicted to soap operas. I want to watch political news."

Batman changed the channel for a long time, and finally found a familiar face. It seemed to be a congressman he had met once at a party. Although not a popular person, he should have some weight to be able to attend a party he was at.

The content he chatted with the host was also very general, probably analyzing the world situation, pulling votes for his own party, and then mentioning his daughter's marriage, proposing that they were both very devout Protestants, and then saying some insignificant trivial matters about wedding preparations.

These things look meaningless, and it is not decent to talk about them in front of the public, but American political news is always like this. It seems to say a lot of meaningless nonsense, but every sentence is to show the position of one's own party.

This congressman is clearly from the Conservative Party, and the wedding details he emphasized are also the most traditional and classic ones, which can resonate with some older people. This is their usual means.

But unexpectedly, Shiler shook his head and sighed, saying, "It seems his daughter's marriage won't end well."

Batman's attention was attracted again. It really wasn't that he always wanted to watch this uninvited guest, but the other party always said some things that sounded like Arabian Nights in a very firm tone.

"Please, isn't this just an old politician who is frustrated in his career playing his outdated tricks? How can you tell that the marriage won't end well?"

"Have you noticed a detail?" Shiler also leaned on the single sofa, supporting his head with his hand and said, "His daughter proposed wanting a blue and white balloon arch, but he refused because it didn't match the color of the carpet, and the balloons might have accidents, causing the guests to be startled."

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Batman had an attitude of "I want to see what kind of high-sounding words you can say."

"According to my speculation, this shouldn't be what his daughter wants, but what his son-in-law wants. And the choice of men's tie styles later is even more obvious."

"According to what he said, the current son-in-law is his daughter's first love, and the two have never lived together before marriage. So where did his daughter learn so many styles of men's ties, and can pick one out and analyze the style of each one with her father?"

"Are you saying that this son-in-law has been using the daughter's mouth to want to shake her father's decision?"

"My meaning is, this gentleman's daughter has been completely won over by her son-in-law, and her elbow is completely turning outward. She doesn't look like what he said, so traditional and conservative. Privately, she should have been rebellious long ago."

"How can you tell this again?"

"Such families always have this kind of problem. It's not hard to see, because her father is frustrated in his career and desperately wants to find some advantages for himself. And being in the Conservative Party, naturally, he has to appear traditional and conservative. He can't do it himself, so he builds his daughter into the perfect traditional wife in his mind."

"How do you know he can't do it himself?"

"I not only know he can't do it, I also know he can't control his lower body. This guy is afraid he has already cheated."

"Although I am not surprised at all, how can you tell?"

"Remember the two audience perspectives cut just now?"

"You mean the smiling faces of the audience cut when they made a joke about God?"

"Yes, his lover should be in the seating area. If you don't believe it, look again when it cuts over later. The third person in the second row, that woman with brown-red curly hair, her smile is obviously different from others."

Batman stared at the screen suspiciously. After a while, they told another cold joke that wasn't funny, so the camera cut to the audience again. This time Batman mainly stared at the woman Shiler pointed out, and then he found that it seemed to be really a bit different.

The reaction of other people, to put it nicely, is a professional smile, to put it ugly, it is perfunctory. Very unsurprisingly, most of the audience below should be paid to come, but this lady with brown-red hair has a kind of pride in her smile.

This kind of pride is very strange. It is not the kind of pride of seeing a familiar person perform well, but more like the kind of complacency when occupying someone and making the other party announce her importance to the public.

This kind of emotion is so obvious that even ordinary people can see a thing or two, and it can't hide from Batman.

"If he set an example, perhaps I wouldn't easily infer that his daughter is rebellious, but he can do this kind of thing, so you should know what kind of person he is."

Shiler sighed slightly and said, "For children, the most terrible thing is not that the parents are harsh. If parents can carry out a path from beginning to end, then even if it is wrong, it will not teach a split person, and will not let the child have the pain of self-pulling."

"The most terrible thing is changing orders in the morning and evening, contradictory logic, wanting this one moment and wanting that the next. One set of logic for treating children, and another set of logic for treating oneself and others. Children who grow up in such a family will have their spirits torn, eventually falling into a vortex of endless self-pulling, indulging in it and being out of tune with this world."

"Children with such personalities find it difficult to handle intimate relationships well. Hesitation and wavering might be the best descriptive words, but I prefer to call it 'a sliding door forced crazy'."

"People are estranged from him, he feels it is because of others that they are estranged from him, feels that he should be higher than others he associates with, so he desperately ties the other party to his side."

"People want to be close to him, he wants to know if people are closest to him, demands them to prove themselves without a bottom line. If the other party cannot satisfy him, then he pushes the other party away."

"In intimate relationships, they endlessly cycle through this process until they drive all normal people who are not sliding doors crazy."

"Wait." Batman seemed to have suddenly realized something. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Shiler and said, "You are talking about this congressman's daughter, right?"

"Of course." Shiler pretended to be pure and nodded and said, "Otherwise? I wouldn't be using things to hint at people, right?"

Batman was choked. He always felt that something was wrong, but if he pointed out the wrong, it seemed that he was too serious.

After all, it is still a casual chat atmosphere. Whoever turns to business first seems guilty. Shiler said he was just talking about TV programs. If Batman picks this reason with him, wouldn't it seem that he is taking these symptoms and putting them on himself?

"Of course, this kind of knot that only manifests in intimate relationships often causes many bad consequences, such as that untimely loneliness, the subsequent self-questioning, the depression and sadness after wavering, and finally the nihilistic self-denial..."

Shiler opened his mouth again, a large pile of analysis sliding out of his mouth smoothly, as if he had prepared a large draft.

"Because they cannot correctly handle intimate relationships, they often feel that they are lonely. Even if they are surrounded by flowers, the endless questioning still makes them unable to receive the emotional signals transmitted by others well, so they always feel that they are out of tune, no one can understand them, lonely and lonely."

"The more lively others are, the more their abnormality is revealed, so they simply avoid participating in any lively occasions, it is best to be alone, so as not to appear pitiful, so it is more difficult to open their hearts, becoming more and more lonely."

"His act of isolating himself from the world and pushing everyone else out is also a hurt to others. People's hearts are made of meat, everyone likes to compare heart to heart, come and go, rather than giving unconditionally and then getting hurt."

"So those flower clusters that were once blooming have all withered, and the liveliness has also scattered. In the empty world, there is really only one person left, so the assumed loneliness has become real loneliness, and the self-constructed lonely scene has also become real desolation."

"Although it cannot be said that this kind of person is to blame, if they can realize that the problem lies in themselves, then this situation can be greatly improved, and it is never too late. After all, after one spring passes, there will be another, and there will always be flowers blooming."

Batman sat up from the chair. He suddenly stretched his neck and shouted, "Alfred! Go get that bottle of good wine for me!"

"Which bottle? Master?" Alfred appeared at the right time.
