Chapter 296: Great Responsibilities Fall Upon Such a Person (Part 1)

"Willpower is actually a very broad concept. It can be simply summarized as the quality that people determine for a goal and can mobilize all emotions and thinking to achieve this determination." Schiller's voice echoed in the empty theater. Although he was describing somewhat boring concepts, the cadence of his tone made people willing to listen.

"This concept also involves other aspects, such as self-control, mental stability, the coherence of thinking, and concentration, etc..."

"Batman doesn't lack any of these. He possesses an extremely fast speed for making determinations, powerful concentration on goals, smooth thinking for analyzing the pros and cons of goals, and the perseverance to carry goals through to the end. But even if he can do all of this, it's only in the category of ordinary people. The true strength of willpower goes beyond this."

"It's very difficult for a person to believe in a goal that is completely impossible to achieve and work persistently toward this goal. For example, almost no one will believe that they have four eyes, nor will anyone really feel that their head is square, because these are some obvious facts. Even if they have fantasized in their hearts what would happen if this situation occurred, for example, you can also try to think about it..."

Soon, two more eyes appeared on Victor's forehead. He said, "Is it like this?"

"That's right. This is thanks to your rich imagination, but I want to tell you that you don't have four eyes."

With a "bang," the two extra eyes on Victor's forehead disappeared. He was stunned for a moment. Schiller explained to him: "This is the wrestling in the dream. You imagine that you have four eyes, and I tell you that you don't. At a certain moment, your imagination is broken, so the corresponding form in the dream also disappears."

"Because you fundamentally know that the you living in the real world only has two eyes. The vast majority of people are like this. They might have dreamed that they possessed four eyes in a dream, but after they wake up, they will only smile indifferently, feeling that they really had an absurd dream."

"But if you truly believe completely that you possess four eyes, then what I just said about you not having them will be invalid. You will still maintain the state of four eyes now."

"Conversely, you can also do the same thing to me. For example, you can say that my head is not a globe..."

Victor took a deep breath, concentrated his attention, and said to Schiller: "Your head is not a globe. Any human's head cannot be a globe. You are clear about this point..."

But Schiller didn't have any changes. The globe on his head was still rotating slowly. Victor folded his arms and asked him: "So, you really believe that your head is a globe?"

"That's right. To put it popularly, I hypnotized myself, letting myself believe in some things that fundamentally couldn't happen. This will let you possess stronger abilities in the dream."

"To put it another way, this is a contest between the upright position and the inverted position. I firmly believe that being cut by a knife won't be injured, and you firmly believe that using a knife to cut people will cause damage. When the ideas of the two of us conflict, the thing you believe in is truly existing in reality, because using a knife to cut people in reality will indeed cause injury and make the other party bleed, while the thing I firmly believe in is almost impossible to happen..."

"You, who are in the upright position, find it simple to believe in a thing that conforms to your common sense and memory, while I, who am in the inverted position, find it difficult to believe that a thing that violates common sense and memory will happen. So, if you change a knife to cut me now, the attack is easy, while the defense is very difficult."

"Just like the situation Batman is encountering now."

When his words fell, the play on the stage had just begun.

Batman, who had used a gray power ring, certainly knew the rules of the dream, which is "what you firmly believe can come true," "what you believe is what you get." But now he is dealing with Schiller's willpower, and he is facing the awkward situation Schiller just mentioned.

He closed his eyes and whispered: "... I have a Batarang in my hand now. It is non-reflective carbon black and possesses a sharp blade..."

And at the same time, Schiller's voice also sounded: "... No, you were hurriedly driven out of the house by a cruel killer and didn't have time to bring weapons. You are even just up from the bed, you should be wearing pajamas instead of a bat suit..."

As he spoke, the Batarang that was condensing in Batman's hand disappeared, and the tight-fitting suit and cape belonging to him were also slowly turning into silk pajamas. Bruce closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "I am wearing a bat suit, because I am Batman..."

"Yawanba"

The bat armor on his body slowly changed back. At the junction of the silk pajamas and the bat suit, a force that couldn't be seen was competing. But finally, perhaps Bruce's last sentence worked, and the bat suit slowly covered his body, except that the black cape disappeared.

He looked back at his behind, his face looking a bit ugly.

According to common sense, Batman's willpower is invincible, especially after he says "because I am Batman," any powerful attack will go around him.

But the reason why Batman can't do this now is because there are many reasons. The first is because he is young. This might not have any real feeling, so let's make a comparison. Peter Parker, the Spider-Man in the neighboring Marvel, is 17 years old this year and just got his driver's license not long ago, while the current Batman Bruce Wei En is 19 years old and just a sophomore in college. Bruce is only two years older than Peter.

Comparing the styles of these two people, one will discover that although Batman looks two centuries older than Spider-Man, this cannot cover up the fact that Bruce is still in the adolescent stage. Human mental development will become more and more mature with age, and the bat cub who has only debuted for one year is far from the level of the later steel-hearted bat master.

There is another more important reason, which Schiller reminded him before, not to waste energy in vain. That is because Schiller knows that the thinking device Bruce designed for himself to wake up urgently from a dream is very energy-consuming, and insufficient energy will lead to distraction. This is the limitation of the human body, even Schiller cannot be exempt from it. He will also feel that his spirit is not concentrated enough after continuously using flash.

Batman just started the emergency waking device repeatedly, just like continuing to flash after reaching the limit of continuous flashing. The current Batman is shrouded in the negative state of continuous severe headache. He can still concentrate his attention to materialize a Batarang, which can already be considered very powerful.

Batman took a deep breath. He felt that his spirit had been overdrawn to the limit. And now, as long as he takes one step out of the gate of Wei En Manor, four weapons flashing with deadly light will attack him, almost sealing off all dead angles, leaving him nowhere to escape.

The fact that he firmly believes he won't be injured can only have a slight effect on one or two of the weapons. But with so many cruel serial killers attacking together, the Batman in a poor state has no power to resist at all.

And the reset function after failure also forces him to be in repeated encounter battles. He cannot retreat to Wei En Manor to formulate a perfect plan. As everyone knows, encounter battle is one of Batman's biggest weaknesses.

After trying about a dozen more times, Batman only made a little progress. He discovered that among these four serial killers, if he must find a soft persimmon to pinch, it is the one holding the chainsaw.

He barely controlled his body in the severe headache, first rolling to the right side to dodge the machete swinging down, and then quickly moved from the right side to the left side, avoiding the iron claw blade on the wall.

And at this time, the chainsaw serial killer on the left side was still starting his chainsaw, and using a chainsaw requires waist strength, with the body leaning backward, which will cause his center of gravity to shift. Batman took advantage of the situation to lower his center of gravity, swept over with one leg, and the serial killer holding the chainsaw fell to the ground.

Batman didn't quite understand why the weapon used by this serial killer was a chainsaw. In his view, a chainsaw is not a good weapon. The starting time is too long, and sometimes it will block the line of sight.

Batman discovered that these few serial killers also have differences. This one holding a chainsaw looks like his fighting skills are not rich enough. When facing Batman's extremely fast lower-body attack, he doesn't know how to dodge. That red monster with iron claws is the thinnest one among them, but it can teleport.

The white-faced man and the man with the hockey mask are both tall, and the speed of swinging weapons is also extremely fast. They also have defensive power against fighting skills. However, some differences are that the background music brought by that white-faced killer will make Batman produce a nervous and anxious emotion, while that strong man with the hockey mask is infinitely powerful and also immune to pain and injury.

After barely trying a few more times, Batman's field of vision began to turn black, the consciousness space began to collapse gradually, and then, he fell into a coma directly.

When he woke up again, Bruce felt that his head was about to split from the pain, but he still endured the discomfort, started the early warning measures, and discovered that he had indeed returned to the real world.

Somehow, he began to feel a bit fortunate. The self-protection mechanism of the human brain makes people fall into a coma forcibly after being overdrawn. If he opened his eyes now and saw those few monsters standing at the door again, he wasn't sure if his willpower could support him to make a counterattack again.

Bruce took a deep breath. He was just about to lie on the bed for a while to restore his energy when he heard a burst of urgent phone ringing. He supported his body to sit up from the bed, walked down the stairs almost staggeringly, and went to answer the phone.

Gordon's slightly anxious voice sounded on the other end. He said: "The leader of the Lawrence family is dead, the Twelve Families have started to riot, Batman, Gotham needs you."

Bruce said to him: "I'll be there immediately."

His incomparably hoarse and exhausted voice startled Gordon. He asked: "Are you okay? Why do you sound a bit..."

"I'm fine." After speaking, he was just about to hang up the phone when he heard Gordon's exclamation: "Oh! God! Why is that lunatic on TV again?"

"Batman, hurry up and come over. That lunatic wearing clown makeup has hijacked the TV station again! God knows what he wants to do!"

Subsequently, through the phone, Batman heard the Joker's voice coming from Gordon's TV: "Batman! I've prepared a big surprise for you!! Hahahahahaha!!!"

Just at this time, an alarm in the room upstairs rang, and he had to climb to the second floor again, pick up the wrist guard in the bat suit, and amidst the noisy noise, Jason's slightly immature voice came from inside: "Batman, are you there? We are trapped, can you come over?"

"Trapped, what's going on?"

Then it was Slippery's voice. He said: "Someone is hunting us down, we hid, although we are still safe now, there is nothing here, can you come over as soon as possible?" ===== CHAPTER 297 =====
