Chapter 3174

"In summary, the happy mood possessed by Greed is not that kind of short-lived excitement, and it is not a kind of happiness within control. It contains some surprise, which represents the appearance of some unexpected things."

Lucifer thought for a while and said: "Is it because of that sentence of another you? Something like creator?"

"Bruce, your level of human psychoanalysis is not even as strong as an angel," Pride took another cigar, but didn't cut it, just played with it in his hand.

"What kind of talk is this? Isn't it normal that I'm not as strong as Lucifer?" Bruce said righteously.

"You perfectly ignored the point. No wonder your teacher is angry," the Beyonder said.

Pride didn't want to continue this topic anymore. He said: "Yes, Lucifer is right. Greed's happy mood actually comes from that sentence the detective said at the end. What does this mean?"

Pride looked at the fireplace. Bruce seemed to think very seriously for a while and then said: "It means he is surprised by that sentence."

"I feel he is not off the wheelchair, he got off at the previous station," Lucifer commented.

"This means he didn't feel happy because his first-stage plan was generally successful. What does this mean again?"

Pride simply looked directly at Lucifer.

Lucifer really thought about it. He said: "If the first stage of his plan really succeeded, then he should feel happy, unless he feels that this doesn't count as success, or even can be said to be a failure."

"Yes, this can inversely deduce where that coldness comes from, because he felt failure, and the main reason for failure is that Batman and the Joker broke away from control. Combined with this fact, it can be analyzed that this frustrated mood is a sense of powerlessness that things are out of control."

"This doesn't seem to be all psychoanalysis," Lucifer said.

"That's right. Behavioral analysis and psychoanalysis complement each other. There has never been a rule that you must only use one of them. It is because one of them is completely useless that you are forced to use one of them."

Lucifer looked at the fireplace.

"Don't be noisy, I'm thinking about which station I got off at," Bruce said.

"Then what can be derived through this?" Walt asked. He actually wanted to know what analyzing this could be used for.

"Of course, it is used to speculate on Greed's next action," Pride answered him, and said: "This sense of powerlessness out of control is sometimes not from being unable to do anything, but from being used to controlling too much, and now controlling too little."

"Are you saying his usual threshold is too high?"

"Exactly. For Greed, Batman and the Joker are a brand-new opponent. He occasionally has intersections with them, but rarely collides head-on. He naturally knows this point."

"This means that his failure this time can be completely attributed to knowing too little about the opponent, which can also be called underestimating the enemy."

"I understand," Walt nodded and said. Walt was not a pure animator either. He was also a successful businessman. He said: "This can infer that his next action is to understand his enemy. This is his goal, and it is also the bargaining chip he can throw out for exchange."

Pride nodded. He put one leg on the other leg and said: "When we foresee his purpose in advance, we can naturally start preparing bargaining chips. Any information related to Batman and the Joker can be used to exchange for information on Greed's side. And Greed knows the most about this series of events of Silteke Pharmaceutical Company. As long as it is operated a little, there will definitely be a harvest."

"Then should I make this deal with him?" Bruce asked unintentionally, but he had actually made up his mind. Decisions that were not in the scope of psychoanalysis were still easy to make.

"I don't think so," Pride still said: "Do you really know that Batman well enough?"

"You wouldn't want me to analyze him, would you? I suspect that the moment he appears in my field of vision, all lines will turn black."

Pride sighed lightly and said: "Have you ever thought that my analysis of Greed is not because I really analyzed him, but because that is another me? Naturally, whatever I say makes sense."

Bruce reacted very quickly in this regard. He said: "That's right. I am also a Batman, so it is easy to gain trust by saying what kind of person another Batman is."

"I don't think so," Lucifer poured cold water on him. He said: "Look at where else you are like Batman? The one who can't gain trust by Batman's intelligence is you. It's better to let the Joker come."

"What do you mean by this?" Bruce said very dissatisfied: "What do you mean I'm not like Batman? I'm not Batman at all! I have already broken away from the stage of the tights weirdo..."

"But you didn't deny the topic about the Joker," Lucifer immediately caught the loophole in his words and said: "You also feel that the Joker knows Batman well, right? As his opponent, as his arch-enemy, he is the one with the most right to speak. You can't compete with him."

"Usually this is the case, but look, is this a normal Joker?" Bruce also retorted unyieldingly: "Come on, I stand with this guy called the Pale Knight. He is more like a rich second-generation heir than me. Is this scientific?"

"He is not a traditional Joker, and you are not a traditional Batman. Neither of you should talk about the other," the Beyonder watched the fun and feared that things wouldn't be chaotic. He said: "In terms of legitimacy, I still recognize the guy standing next to you who is full of bad water."

"You mean Owlman?" Bruce snorted and said: "If he bids, I won't compete with him. After all, I still have to play his good brother, no need to lose big because of small things."

"He won't bid," Pride asserted: "Both you and the Pale Knight have no guilt about selling Batman's intelligence because you have long been away from Batman's path. But Owlman can't. He is still on that path. Although it is reversing, it is still unwise to expose his direction."

"You mean he is on the same path as the main universe Batman?" Bruce's voice contained thinking. He said: "He wouldn't have also anticipated Greed's purpose in advance, would he?"

"Wait," Bruce suddenly spoke up. He said: "It was Owlman who lured them over! It was he who said he found something upstream. He and Greed are in the same gang!"

"You finally discovered it," Pride said: "Owlman is a flipped version of Batman. Except for being evil, he possesses all of Batman's abilities. As long as he is one of the first few to enter the game, then what Batman can investigate, he might not necessarily be unable to investigate."

"But precisely because he is on the non-justice side, the background story he wrote for himself will never be like Batman's, like a superhero. It might even be biased towards evil. So after finding the clues, he also made a choice completely different from Batman, which is to be in the same boat with Greed."

"Since this is the case, he should remind Greed to pay attention to Batman." Lucifer just finished speaking, and he knew he was wrong, so he said: "It is also that only good people can unite. Bad people all have bad intentions. Owlman might not necessarily not be guarding against Greed."

"More importantly, he won't take Batman's intelligence to exchange for anything, because this is equivalent to selling himself out," Pride said: "Although Batman's ability is known to everyone, Greed doesn't tend to want those famous abilities, but tends to want some choices that Batman and the Joker will make. But the choices the two of them will make, Owlman will also make. No Batman will reveal his behavioral logic to others."

"Then who else can make this deal with Greed?"

"I think the detective will," Pride paused and said: "He makes a living by selling intelligence and is very good at doing this kind of work."

"But where does he get Batman's intelligence? I have never seen him appear in my universe," Bruce said. He was actually implying that Greed was not familiar with Batman and the Joker, so the detective was even less familiar. Greed and Batman had at least met, but the detective was probably seeing them for the first time.

"Now they are indeed not familiar, but isn't the old business of agents doing intelligence?" Walt put his ankle on his knee and said: "I have also dealt with them before. This group of guys is very difficult to deal with, but it won't work without them."

"Why?" Bruce asked. The agent he dealt with most often was Amanda. He really didn't see what was indispensable about Amanda.

"When you are entangled by an agent, you will face endless trouble, but at the same time, they will obtain intelligence from you. They want everything. It is terribly greedy."

"So..."

"When you are feeding a fierce beast that eats everything, you can use this to cover up many secrets, and even think of ways to drive them to find trouble for others," Walt said very vaguely. He continued: "When they taste that some things are delicious, you can completely introduce them to a restaurant that produces this kind of food. This can not only help you get rid of trouble, but also help you solve some ill-intentioned people."

"This is the essence of intelligence work," Pride said: "Everyone is actually looking for trouble for nothing. If you don't give them trouble, they will find trouble for themselves. But if you can find trouble for them, they actually don't mind doing it. Agents are never picky eaters."

Walt nodded.

"Are you saying the detective will choose to inquire about Batman's intelligence for Greed? But Batman is not stupid. Will he not know the detective's purpose?"

"The detective is here to ask for intelligence, but at the same time, he can also bring Greed's intelligence. Greed can inquire about Batman through the detective, then why can't Batman turn around and inquire about Greed? Don't forget, he is not familiar with Greed either."

"Then isn't the detective eating on both sides?" the Beyonder frowned and said: "Batman and Greed's intelligence are both through him, so he masters the intelligence of both at the same time."

"You might as well think about it in reverse," Pride said: "What if he actually masters the intelligence of both at the same time?"

The Beyonder widened his eyes slightly. He reacted for a while before understanding what Pride was saying. He looked at Pride and said: "He was sent by you, and you happen to be the one who understands both Greed and Batman at the same time."

Pride smiled and said: "Exactly. Batman and Greed can naturally think of this point."

"I understand. The detective is not a switch, not responsible for exchanging intelligence for the two, but a vending machine, selling the intelligence you gave him. But what do you want?"

"I am also not very sure what can be sold and what can be harvested," Pride shook his head and said: "After all, I am not Batman, trying to anticipate all the developments of things within the moment the plan is formulated, nor am I Greed, no matter how things develop, there is always a side beneficial to him."

"Sounds very irresponsible," Lucifer said: "You are betting that Greed and Batman want to understand each other, and can take out a certain sincerity, but if they are stingy to the end, you have no way."

Pride nodded and said: "It's about the same. But even if they don't intend to pay any price, this plan is not a complete failure."

"Why? Because they will find you sooner or later?"

"Because I can finally completely give up pushing this broken wheelchair."
