Chapter 3185: The Detective Shall Die (Part 47)

~10 min read 1,887 words

Bruce had nothing to say, so he had to focus his attention on the confrontation between Greed and Owlman. In fact, he really needed more information about Owlman, but what Greed said just now didn't exceed Bruce's expectations. What he wanted was some more precise and sharp, to be precise, that kind of Pride-style blind guessing.

But unfortunately, the one point where Greed and Pride are most different is that he never does loss-making business.

After saying this, Greed didn't leave Owlman time to digest, and he aimed his spearhead at Bruce again.

Giving Bruce a fright.

Standing on Shiler's side and listening to him break others' defenses sharply is very interesting, but if the one whose defense is broken is himself, it is not so wonderful.

Even if Greed didn't seem to intend to use psychoanalysis, behavioral analysis was also quite fatal. No one wants their behavioral logic to be analyzed clearly and then served on the dinner table. Smart people play games, and being understood means being defeated.

Bruce understood the current situation.

Greed can analyze Owlman, and naturally can also analyze Bruce. He is warning Bruce: if you still want to use Owlman, you'd better prepare enough hush money, otherwise, after my analysis, your good brother persona won't be able to stand.

No wonder he didn't use psychoanalysis from the beginning. Greed's sharpness costs money. If the money doesn't arrive, don't think about him taking out his real skills.

"Then what about your story? Dr. Wayne?"

Bruce's brain worked at high speed. He was thinking about what kind of sincerity he could take out to Greed, so that he could let him go while not letting Owlman go.

Just within the game, what Greed should want most now is his background story, but Bruce can't tell it all, because he is relatively familiar with such games, and his background story has no small impact on this world. This is his advantage.

But the risk of not telling the truth is also very high. Not to mention what if he is exposed by Greed, just if he comes up with another "On Bruce's Philosophy", his relationship with Owlman might be ruined.

It's not that he doesn't want to tell the truth, but he can't.

"Alright, if I am the last piece of the puzzle, I am happy to talk about it." Bruce pondered for a moment and opened his mouth: "I am indeed a psychiatrist. I came here to study cases affected by anomalies, but in fact, there is another reason. You should also know, which is that my teacher was invited to treat the wife of the fleet owner."

"Is this made up by you?" The Pale Knight frowned and said.

Because according to the information known now, the fleet owner is old Siltek, and Greed is young Siltek, so the person who is sick should be Greed's mother.

But they didn't collude when they made up the story, how could they happen to make it up together?

Bruce shook his head and said: "No, in my background story, my teacher just came here following a strange disease case, and I followed. The matter of treating people should be duplicated by the Transcendent himself, in order to connect our stories."

The Pale Knight nodded, accepting this statement, but he still said: "But I don't believe you are so passive. You should also have some plans of your own, right?"

"Uh..." Bruce showed a slightly hesitant expression and said: "My teacher and I have different research directions. To be precise, they are completely opposite."

"Inspiration comes from life?" Greed couldn't help but ask.

Bruce glared at him, but still said: "The main difference is the way anomalies affect human souls. To make a long story short, although we both think that the anomaly itself will affect people's spirits, the causal relationship of our views is the opposite."

"What do you mean?"

"My teacher feels that the Earth's magnetic field has anomalies, leading to the appearance of anomalies. After the anomalies appear, they affect people's spirits."

"What about your view?"

"People's spirits have problems, affecting the Earth's magnetic field, leading to the appearance of anomalies."

Others were silent, obviously thinking about this problem. The Pale Knight was the first to say: "You think the appearance of anomalies is idealistic?"

"To be precise, it is that problems in human spirits summoned certain things here." Bruce said: "You can see it as the collective unconsciousness having an impact on this world and becoming concrete."

"I'm glad you still know collective unconsciousness." Greed said: "Your teacher must be proud of you, and Jung will be too."

"I don't understand." The Pale Knight opened his mouth and said: "Your views are completely opposite, how can you become teacher and student?"

"Maybe this is fate." Bruce said.

Greed really couldn't hold it anymore. He looked at Bruce and said: "Inspiration comes from life, but you really don't have to force inspiration from your life. Dog shit is still dog shit after cooking, and it might even be smellier."

"I'm happy." Bruce said righteously.

"But you don't want to just change the topic like this." Greed indicated that he didn't eat that set at all, but continued to ask: "So who is your teacher?"

"It's the detective at the beginning." Bruce said: "No one stipulates that he can't have other occupations, and no one stipulates that he can't have students."

Greed then reacted and said: "So you helped me before the game started because you wanted me to help you kill Doctor, to physically eliminate another school?"

Bruce nodded.

Greed was speechless, but after thinking about it, he still asked: "Is your purpose for coming here just to kill your teacher?"

"Not entirely. Although physical elimination is indeed simple, I also want to argue that I am the correct one. I want to come and investigate the mental state of the villagers in this village to see if there are some people whose spirits have problems first, and then there are monsters."

"Have you investigated anything?"

"Do you see if I have time to investigate?"

Greed suddenly remembered the 1913 doorplate and asked tentatively: "Have you investigated the origin of the anomaly phenomenon? I mean, did your setting involve this point?"

"I can't say not at all." Bruce answered cautiously: "I believe we all have views on this, but some said it, some didn't. I just mentioned in the part of my theory that the initial anomaly might have been summoned."

Greed knew he absolutely hid something, but the information he confessed was enough.

Now basically the background stories of most people are connected. The only ones that still don't see any clues are Joker and Shiler's.

"I am more interested in that thing." The Pale Knight looked at the jar soaking the corpse and said: "You said that is the Prowler? How did you do it? And why do you want to use it to feed fish?"

"These are just some business plans." Greed said.

"It's not that simple." Bruce also said: "You killed him, but you must move his corpse to the cabin. It's impossible just to scare us."

"I moved the corpse to the cabin just to trap the Prowler." Greed didn't hide it either, and said: "Scaring you is incidental."

"But the house was burned down." The Pale Knight felt something was wrong and said: "When the house was burning, we were all guarding outside the door. How did you transfer the corpse to the laboratory before the corpse was burned?"

"Of course, it was through the hole under the carpet."

"Who helped you transfer it?"

"You guess?"

Shiler, who was with the main universe Batman, obviously thought of this problem, but the difference was that he inferred it.

If the main universe Batman had long known that Greed wouldn't set himself up as a simple villain, would he not only let Greed's plan proceed, but even help him secretly?

Greed killed Doctor, threw the corpse into the cabin, the Prowler happened to possess the corpse, and Shiler set fire to the house.

Logically speaking, the corpse should have been burned. After all, they watched the house burn down with their own eyes. Everyone was under the eyes of others, and there was no possibility of suddenly disappearing to help Greed transfer the corpse.

In this situation, there are not many people who can rescue the corpse completely. To be precise, there is only one, and that is Batman who has the ability to control corpses.

Batman investigated Greed's plan in advance and knew he wasn't a simple villain, so it was possible to help him at this critical node, using the ability to control corpses to control Doctor's corpse to jump down from the hole before being charred by flames, which could ensure the integrity of the corpse, and the key was to ensure the integrity of the Prowler.

"Do you know why he wants to use monsters to feed fish?" Shiler looked at Batman and asked.

"This is related to a project of their company." Batman replied: "The specific situation I don't know very well, but they seem to really intend to produce vaccines."

"Isn't it said to be a scam?" Shiler looked at Batman and said.

"I did say it was a scam in that letter, but that was just to give you hints. Besides, whether this thing is useful doesn't affect that it's a scam."

Shiler understood immediately. This is very consistent with Greed's style. Greed is very good at making something useful, but using it to cheat money, don't worry about whether the price is expensive or not, just say whether it is useful.

"So that fish can really be used to make vaccines? What is the principle?"

Batman shook his head. Shiler was also not sure whether he really didn't know or didn't want to say.

"I really don't know the specific principles and plans, but this doesn't prevent me from helping him." Batman said, his tone very firm, appearing very calm.

"No matter which Shiler it is, they are not my enemy, nor will they be the enemy of the world." Batman's tone was certain, making Shiler feel that he was flirting.

"Why do you say that?" Shiler had to ask.

"Because what you want are always some concrete things, perhaps money, emotions, papers, academic achievements, etc."

"I'm not as optimistic as you." Shiler pointed out, "There are also many of me who like some abstract things, such as a sense of control."

"Are you dividing it like this? But I think this is also some concrete things. All the things you have clear goals and want are concrete. No matter how difficult these things are to obtain, it is very difficult to constitute any major harm."

"Sounds like you have a counterexample."

"Yes, knowing what you want and then going to get it, such a person cannot be called dangerous, even if his name is Darkseid, I only treat him as an enemy, not some kind of danger."

"Then what do you think danger is?"

"Someone feels endless emptiness, but doesn't know what he wants, or he thinks what he is pursuing now is what he wants, but in fact it is not, such as Joker." ===== CHAPTER 3186 =====
