Chapter 2935

~11 min read 2,056 words

Pamela widened her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her with the most shocked expression in her life, but Tim didn't hesitate at all, staring at Pamela's eyes and said, "I know you have done it. You used vines to restrict that professor. For some special reasons, he didn't resist. Facing a young lady, he always tries his best to maintain a gentleman's demeanor."

"You also said that was for special reasons!" Pamela was almost screaming, "I have no way to attack Schiller, this is impossible, and have you considered that he will settle accounts later?!!"

"Then you are just an accomplice."

Pamela took a deep breath. She tried to fill her blank brain with thoughts and sorted out the relatively useful rebuttals, saying, "Do you think he and that blind man are just discussing the intern? Don't you think he is also talking about us?"

"I of course know he is hinting at us, but don't you think what he said makes sense?" Tim's eyes were still very bright. He sat down again, looking at Pamela who stood up from bottom to top. The black-haired young man's smile now can be called dangerous and debauched.

"Have you experienced the feeling of falling?"

"I haven't, and I don't want to experience it!"

"Young people always have to stumble, but don't you think it's stupid and boring to be tripped by a stone on flat ground? Haven't you thought about jumping down from the top of the Wayne Group building?"

"I haven't!!!" Pamela went to grab her hair, paced in the room and said, "I won't look for death because living is boring all day!"

"What if death is inevitable?"

"Then I won't want to make the process more exciting because of madness!" Pamela said, "You think so, right? Anyway, you will eat a big loss sooner or later, so you might as well provoke the most powerful one, so that death is exciting enough."

"I am not entirely for chasing excitement. You think of me too superficially." Tim gently twisted his fingers and said, "The key is that if you fall on flat ground, you can't see anything. If you want to jump off a building, at least you have to climb the highest building, which allows you to overlook the whole city and obtain more information."

Pamela calmed down a little because she found that Tim was not just going crazy. He had his own plan. No matter if this plan is feasible, at least there is a logic that can make sense.

"If we capsize in the gutter and plant it in the hands of a weak person, he defeats us more by luck and our own stupidity, then what can we learn by observing his behavior?"

"The fact is that we can't learn anything, just waste time, increase waste in the brain, and even don't have the necessity to review. It can probably only learn to stand in place and wait for the other party to make a mistake, which is equivalent to falling for nothing. Even if it's just a little skin, this injury is meaningless."

"But if we pick a strong enough opponent, maybe we failed in the first step, but at least we tried to formulate a plan under huge pressure, implemented it, and tried our best to avoid forced errors. These are valuable experiences."

"If we are lucky enough to persist for a while, maybe we can see a more wonderful game process, understand how he is so much stronger than us, and even if we win the lottery, the situation pushes us from chess pieces to chess players, and we can also fight for the opportunity to play against him, then no matter how heavy the injury is, it is worth it."

Pamela sat down again, sat cross-legged opposite Tim, and gathered her scattered red hair back behind her head, saying, "How do you guarantee that we won't fall to death on the spot?"

"What are you afraid of? He can't really kill us." Tim bared his teeth and said, "Even if he really takes action, we will also exit the dungeon under the protection of the Doujie system, and everything will return to normal."

"What about settling accounts later?"

"Go find the professor." Tim smiled again and said, "I am sure they don't get along, and the professor is very protective of his shortcomings."

"Why do you think the professor will protect us?"

"Because I finished my homework." Tim said, "And most of his students can't finish their homework and have to find various reasons. I significantly raised the homework completion rate and grade level of his student group, so he won't watch me die."

"What about me?"

"You are Victor's doctor, so he won't watch you die even more."

Pamela found that she was speechless.

"You don't really intend to let me use force against Schiller, do you?" Pamela has started to discuss the possibility, she said, "Even if he has no superpowers, what if he asks his superhero friends for help? I can't beat them all!"

"What if we let everyone feel that he was not really kidnapped?" Tim asked back, "He himself wants to take himself as bait to hang most of the FBI's manpower on this side, so why can't the news that he is in danger be his strategy to further lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

"But if he has a way to send news out, he can fully explain the situation to his superhero friends."

"Will they believe it if he explains?"

Pamela felt that Tim was sophistry. She hugged her arms and said, "They are his friends, they trust each other, the other party said it himself, what do they have not to believe?"

"Then you still don't understand this kind of person." Tim said, "Suppose one day I suddenly call you and say I was kidnapped by Professor Schiller, what is your first reaction?"

Pamela just wanted to blurt out "Of course I'm worried about you!", but this thought only flashed for a moment, and she knew that if it really reached that time, she wouldn't think so.

She would feel absurd, and then start thinking about what Tim was doing again, because obviously, Professor Schiller had no need to kidnap him, and Tim was not a person who would be easily kidnapped. And since he was kidnapped, with Professor Schiller's meticulousness, how could he easily let him send news out?

She would definitely speculate that either Tim was doing something himself, or the two of them were colluding to do something.

"Then what if it was Dick who sent you this news?" Tim asked again.

Pamela opened her mouth. She didn't really want to say it, because it felt a bit damaging to their brotherly feelings, but the fact was that if the person who sent this news was Dick, Pamela might really want to save him.

It's not that she likes Dick more than Tim, but Dick's credibility here is higher than Tim's. Even if the person who sent the news was Jason, whom Professor Schiller likes most, she wouldn't be sure whether the two were colluding, and would still find a way to check.

"That's the truth." Tim smiled and said, "He came to fish for FBI agents under some unknown Hydra identity this time, and he must have fished for other people under other identities in the past, which may also include his friends."

"All the greatness he has shown in the past makes people feel that he will not easily fall into a trap. All his dilemmas can only be caused by himself. So when he asks for help, the more people who know him, the more they will feel that he is doing something."

"The story of 'The Wolf is Coming'?" Pamela frowned and asked.

"Pretty much. I make a bold speculation. He can lead his Earth to the current step, it must be by any means, cruel to others, more cruel to himself. The matter of taking himself as bait must not be once or twice. That group of superheroes should use their brains no matter how holy they are."

"There is one last question." Pamela sighed and said, "What if there is someone like Superman?"

Tim shook his head and said, "Not quite the same. If Batman sends a message to Superman that he is in danger, Superman will definitely believe it and find a way to save him. That's because Superman still treats Batman as an ordinary person, at least most of the time he understands better than others that Batman is not God."

"Essentially because Superman is a true God, he stands too high, is too strong, and can overlook all living beings in this world, so he fully understands that even if Batman is calculated, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, and saving him is his own obligation."

"But don't you think Schiller in this universe is more like a God? He manipulates everything, overlooks everything, everyone is looking up to him, and there is no one like Superman who firmly believes that he is a mortal with vulnerabilities."

"And once everyone is in a looking-up attitude, they inevitably have this doubt—I am not as smart as him, not as good as him in overall planning, so if this is a part of his plan, will my rash rescue have a bad impact on the plan?"

"This is a kind of speculation that only belongs to the weak. Essentially, it is a manifestation of hesitation after comparing oneself with the other party. Superman will not shake himself when comparing with anyone, even Batman, or precisely because there is not a trace of rational thinking in the emotion of pitying the weak, he can ignore everything and insist on saving him."

"Are you saying that Schiller's friends will not come to save him the more they think rationally."

"Yes, in my opinion, Schiller in this universe has no friends like Superman, or maybe he did, but under his influence, he finally tended to think rationally."

Pamela showed a complicated look and couldn't help but deviate from the topic and asked, "Do you think this is a good thing?"

"This is a manifestation of health." Tim was also very objective, saying, "This is what psychologists like, mental health, psychological balance, and the manifestation of normal brain work."

"Doesn't he care if his friends are fully invested in him?"

"Full investment itself is an unhealthy psychological state. Humans pay full attention to anything without leaving any part for themselves, which is a disease."

Pamela was silent.

"He shaped all this with his great power, turning the impossible into possible, which is the manifestation of his amazing professional level. Why should we feel sad for him?" Tim said.

"Okay, what do you think I should do? Rush out and tie him up directly?" Pamela asked.

"That's not necessary. Kidnapping doesn't have to be specific to people. Can you seal the whole mountain?"

Pamela covered her forehead and said, "Why don't you say let me seal the Rocky Mountains directly? The energy I brought is limited, it's not bad to be able to surround this mountain head."

"Then let's do it."

Pamela thought about what Tim said before, and then said, "In this way, it seems that there is no difference from the FBI surrounding here, anyway, they can't fight in."

"This is different. The FBI would feel a little hope when fighting Hydra. If you let them fight pine trees that can swing fists, they will definitely run back to call for support."

"Are you saying that if I seal the mountain, the FBI feels that there is little hope of winning, and if they can't make progress here, they won't mobilize many people, then Los Angeles won't be in chaos, and Schiller's plan won't succeed?"

"And the most important point, if they determine that supernatural power is making trouble, then they might immediately go to cooperate with S. H. I. E. L. D."

"Then S. H. I. E. L. D. can take the opportunity to open its mouth wide and eat part of the funding? Schiller's plan is still successful."

"This is different. Hydra didn't play a role in it. How can Schiller get his share?"

Pamela understood, so she started to act.
