Chapter 2859: The Great Battle of the Lego Minifigures! (24)

Something is wrong, very wrong.

The main universe Batman muttered as he walked into the Batcave, and then his voice suddenly disappeared because he suddenly shut his mouth, realizing that his own muttering behavior was also very abnormal.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Shiler sitting with his legs crossed, eating potato chips. Then he suddenly thought, the other party is a psychologist, did he realize something was wrong long ago?

Seeing Batman walk in, Shiler put down the snacks in his hand and sat up a bit straighter, looking like a psychologist after all. He said, "Do you feel it?"

Batman frowned and sat opposite him, asking, "You noticed it long ago? Why didn't you say anything?"

"Saying it wouldn't help. Do you have a way?"

Batman shook his head slowly. Tim, who walked in later, didn't know what the two were playing at, but he didn't ask, just sat aside quietly.

Batman thought to himself. In fact, he had noticed some abnormalities before. The reason he didn't fully discover them was because in the real world, he was also a jinx.

To say that Batman makes so many contingency plans, his own mental illness is one aspect, and his luck is indeed not good. The fact that various plans always encounter emergencies is also an aspect that cannot be ignored.

Looking at all the experiences of the main universe Batman, most of the plans he formulated didn't go smoothly according to his arrangements, and there were always some accidents.

So in this universe, his various plans were interrupted and accidents occurred, leading to having to take side paths. He didn't feel anything wrong, at most he felt that he was particularly unlucky this time.

But even so, the number of accidents that occurred to this point was a bit beyond his imagination. In fact, they had completely deviated from the original plan, and now they didn't know what they were busy with.

Although the person was not completely without problems, Batman felt that maybe the problem with this universe was bigger.

Because many times the accidents that appeared in this universe had no logic at all, and even his own actions lacked logic.

If it were in the real world, he couldn't possibly not know that the Lego construction ability was limited and not suitable for making such complex mechanisms, nor could he possibly not consider that Tim and Shiler were not good candidates for piecing Lego. Even if there was a shortage of people, he wouldn't let these two laymen get started, let alone skip quality testing and let the protagonist of the plan enter a shoddy project.

Batman first thought about whether he was controlled by something or his thinking was affected by something, but until now, he didn't think he was wrong in any way. At most, his previous inertial thinking made him feel a bit awkward. This clearly wasn't something a brain-controlling villain could do.

On the contrary, he felt that if he considered rigor and didn't let Tim and Shiler participate, and conscientiously did quality testing, it would be the behavior of a mental patient, simply incomprehensible.

This conflict between action and thought made him feel very awkward, and Shiler seemed to have known the answer long ago.

His performance couldn't be said to be not strange. Batman thought, as far as he knew, this Shiler was a person with quite strong subjective initiative. He came here to scavenge building materials. He had enough time to dismantle the entire Earth and pack it away, but he did nothing, either eating snacks or drinking cola.

This proved that he might have insight into some secrets of this universe in advance, but it wasn't strange. This person always had some understanding of everything that went beyond the facts.

This awkward feeling was something Batman had never experienced before, making him feel incredibly weird, so he had to humbly seek advice.

Fortunately, this Shiler was still relatively easy to talk to. Batman didn't ask much, and Shiler poured out the truth like beans.

"When you have been in contact with enough universes, you will find that different universes have different styles. I have no way to describe to you in detail why there are these differences. You can understand it as the underlying files of each universe being different, and these underlying files determine the style of this universe, while the style of the universe determines the direction of universe events."

"For example, in some universes, no matter how good a good thing is, the final result is hard to be satisfactory, while in some universes, no matter how bad a bad thing is, there are many shining points worth rejoicing in."

"Most of the universe styles you can see are not that positive. A plan that should have been smooth always has some accidents, and a story that should have been perfect has to add a few regrets."

"But there are also a few, such as this universe and the universe where Tim is located. The underlying protocol of their universe is warm, beautiful, and happy. This universe is even more special and has to add a line of humor and absurdity."

"This means that as long as you are in this universe, no matter what happens, there will be some humorous factors. The plans you formulate seem fine to you and everyone else in this universe, but if you take them out of this universe, you will realize how absurd and ridiculous the plans are."

"Just like the plan to build the ancient city we formulated before, if it were in the real world, you would have ten thousand better ways to make Batman realize the problem and reverse his view on the recycling plan, but in this universe, you chose the most laborious and unreliable one. This is the influence of the universe style."

"And even if I told you these things and you were well prepared and wanted to be unaffected, there would definitely be all kinds of humorous accidents to interrupt your serious plans."

"So I didn't intend to do anything serious in this universe at all. Let everything take its course. Maybe it will achieve results due to various accidental collisions?"

Shiler smiled, showing an indifferent attitude. Batman finally raised the deepest doubt he had since the beginning, "Do we have no tasks to complete when we come to this dungeon?"

"Yes, aren't we going to get building materials?" Shiler said.

"Oh, I get it." Shiler said as if he had just understood Batman's meaning, "You feel that we should release main and side tasks like a real game, so that all participants are exhausted, right?"

Batman didn't speak, but it looked like that was what he thought. Shiler shook his head and said, "If there really was such a system that let you shuttle through various universes and complete various tasks, then it must have demands on these universes, mostly to strengthen control over these universes."

"But Battleworld is different. Battleworld itself is a platform created by the joint efforts of universe managers. It's like you don't need to strengthen control over the tables and chairs you've bought home. If they want to change certain things in these universes, there's no need for us to come. They can just move their fingers."

"These people let us participate just to have a new story. As for whether this story is good or bad, or whether it is popular, they can accept it completely."

Batman nodded, seemingly understanding a bit. Each universe is like a painting. If there is anything unsatisfactory when it is first painted, it is modified by the painter himself, rather than letting a little cat or dog with paint on its feet step out some random patterns.

And the reason why little cats and dogs are allowed to leave various random footprints on it is actually a form of artistic creation, in order to collide with some random patterns to increase the interest of the painting.

This itself is not a thing that follows strict logic, so naturally, no particularly specific goals will be given.

But due to the rules of Battleworld, or due to human nature, every contestant will set goals for themselves. For example, they came in to get building materials, so they don't have to spend precious points and can be slightly better than others in resource operation.

Those who went to the dungeon of the so-called most miserable Batman to rescue Batman also just wanted to satisfy their own kindness, or wanted to find a new helper for their team.

It is conceivable that others also went to a certain dungeon, definitely feeling that there are things in this dungeon that can help themselves or their own universe, so there is no need to set particularly specific goals for them, and they will also exert subjective initiative to modify the story as much as possible to seek profit for themselves.

Shiler continued, "There is another reason for not setting specific goals, which is the universe style problem I just mentioned. In this Lego universe, any serious goal you set will be interfered with by various accidents, and finally it will become absurd and ridiculous. This is against the underlying protocol of the universe and is fundamentally impossible to achieve."

"But customizing the task goals for each universe, the workload is too large, and in the end, it becomes the universe manager controlling the universe story, without randomness, and it is impossible to collide with any sparks."

Batman nodded, considering it understood, but he suddenly realized another problem. He said, "If the plan of this universe cannot be executed seriously, then that raw material recycling plan..."

"I suspect there might be hidden secrets in it." Shiler said, "Although on the surface it is the Waynes leading the previous generation of heroes to sacrifice themselves, such a humorous universe is unlikely to have such a serious and deep story. I'm afraid the inside story is more complex than we imagine."

"Then what should we do now?" Tim asked, "I always feel that they can't successfully pass the 13th floor."

"Don't worry, this universe has another attribute, that is, no matter how difficult and full of accidents the process is, it will definitely be a happy ending in the end. So even if we don't interfere, the protagonists can still complete their adventure."

Batman and Tim both cast their eyes on the screen, watching the group of people screaming in the maze being chased by moving walls. They didn't fully believe what Shiler said. This group of rabble didn't look like they could pass the 13-story ancient city at all. ===== CHAPTER 2860 =====
