Chapter 3760

The others turned to look at Pride, but Pride just smiled and stopped talking. Everyone didn't pursue it either, because as long as Pride thought of it, they could all see it in the memory bank, and just flip through it after watching the movie.

"I still don't quite understand, what does he want the Laughing one's head for?" The agent continued to ask, "Even if he wants to use his head as a ball to kick, the eye mask will prick his feet, right? And is it okay to just throw the body there like that?"

"I guess, the Pathological one should be verifying one thing."

"What thing?"

"Remember the egg dug out in Bruce's mental world, and the one that was later taken to another world by the monster in the Speed Force?"

"You mean the Laughing Egg?"

"Exactly. Anatoly calculated the Laughing one, and the Laughing one will naturally fight back. He left Laughing Eggs in many places, which is equivalent to his backup. When do you think he will enable it?"

"Of course it is when the situation deteriorates to a certain extent." The agent thought for a while and said, "The Laughing one cannot predict us, but he should be able to predict part of Anatoly's actions. It is precisely because he knows he cannot completely stop Anatoly's layout that he made preparations early and saved many backups for himself. Perhaps he anticipated that one day, we would force him into the current situation."

"Exactly, he laid eggs everywhere just waiting for this day." Greed said, "Although he is not dead yet, having only a head left is about the same as being dead. When he feels that he has no room to struggle at all, he should enable those backups."

"Wait." Greed suddenly realized a problem, he said, "There should only be one Laughing one in the multiverse, right?"

"I guess the Pathological one wants to try." Pride said, "Assume, the Laughing one finds that his situation is not good, and wants to regain freedom through the means of enabling backups. The backup is enabled, but the main body is not dead, what will happen?"

"Is it really possible for this situation to appear?" The agent frowned and said, "Logically speaking, the backup is enabled, the main body will die, and there will always be only one main consciousness that can exist. Any person with a brain would design the program like this, right?"

"It cannot be denied that the Laughing one is also Batman. In this regard, he should not make mistakes. So I guess, the Pathological one wants to card a bug."

"You mean..."

"In the universe of the Broken Batman before, was the brain placed in the cylinder alive or dead?"

"If it's the body, it must be dead... No, if it's dead, the Battleworld mission won't judge that he needs to be saved. Battleworld's source code is very advanced, basically it can be said to be the underlying code of the universe. Battleworld judges that he is still alive, so it proves that even if only one brain is left, it should still be considered alive."

"This is the problem. If you take the Laughing one's brain out and put it in a water cylinder, in terms of the underlying code of the universe, he should still be alive. Since he is alive and can be saved, but the resurrection code written by the Laughing one himself is very likely to judge that he is dead, and then enable the backup. When the brain is fished out of the cylinder, there can be two Laughing ones in the universe."

"Oh my god." Pride couldn't help but sigh, "Is one not enough? Have to come again? Can you give me a few days of peace?"

"No, no, no." Greed immediately showed an interested smile, he said, "If there is only one Laughing one in the universe, he is a pile of dog shit that insists on drilling under other people's feet, determined to disgust everyone. But if there are two Laughing ones, compared to disgusting others, they will definitely eliminate themselves first."

Pride's expression stagnated, and then said: "It makes some sense."

"The Laughing one is the kind of person who would rather die than admit his mediocrity. He will try his best to prove his uniqueness, prove that he is uniquely endowed. This psychology determines that he will not tolerate another himself in the world. Once there is one, they will inevitably fight to the death."

Pride nodded slowly. He understood that when the comic book writer created the character of the Batman Who Laughs, although he said he was a combination of Batman and the Joker, the subsequent plot didn't actually reflect that he had any personality traits of Batman or the Joker. On the contrary, his personality is neither like Batman nor like the Joker, but is similar to some other classic comic characters, such as Tomie Kawakami written by Junji Ito.

Tomie is set as an extremely beautiful, very charming beauty who will arouse everyone's desire to abuse. And in many stories related to her, she was dismembered and split into different selves. And without exception, all of these selves eventually went on the road of killing each other.

It can be said that this is the setting of the comic book author, but its essence lies in reflecting that a type of person's personality is built on the strong desire of 'pursuing uniqueness'. Only by being unique can there be meaning to existence.

Ordinary people may find it difficult to experience how extreme and dangerous this desire is. Maybe many people will feel that pursuing uniqueness doesn't seem to be a problem, and showing a different self is everyone's right.

But in fact, not everyone has the ability to stand out by victory. For example, in a running race, one person runs the fastest and wins the championship, then he is naturally unique. But isn't running last also unique? How can uniqueness gained by failure not be considered unique?

If they can win, these people will of course want to gain a unique sense of existence by winning. But if they can't win with limited ability, they can only lose with a sense of existence.

This involves another familiar personality, which is the histrionic personality. The core of histrionic personality is the strong desire to pursue uniqueness, but it is not by down-to-earth victory to prove one's uniqueness, but by making jokes, attracting attention, or even more extreme deception, exaggeration, hysteria, gradually evolving into manipulation hints and mental violence directed at others.

To put it bluntly, if you can't win forever, you can only rely on lying and brainwashing to make others believe that you are unique. Any mental output with extreme goals must be accompanied by mental violence, which will bring great harm to the people around you. This is the danger.

This type of person cannot accept the same kind, because what they always pursue is 'the most unique'. If the 'uniqueness' is lost, how can it be called unique? Two histrionic personalities together will inevitably fight to the dark, fighting until the avenue is worn out.

Therefore, the best way to punish this type of person is to find a similar person to torture him.

Of course, the same kind is not so easy to find. Even if it is the same type of personality, there are differences in the details, and it may not be exactly on the other party's tail. So in fact, the best way to deal with this type of person is to be a copycat.

Especially in the case that the other party is someone you are very close to and cannot get rid of for the time being, as long as he is good at something, you learn it; whatever he does and says normally, you do and say it. If you can surpass him in some aspects and attract other people's attention, it will be even better, ensuring that the other party will be disgusted to vomit, and will secretly drop small pearls in the quilt at night.

And for the Batman Who Laughs, the best way to deal with him is not to defeat his conspiracy, nor to beat him half to death, nor to turn him back into Batman or the Joker, but to send him an identical self.

In fact, there are similar plots in the original comic book, that is, after the Batman Who Laughs was promoted to the Batman Who Laughs, the original corpse of the Batman Who Laughs was resurrected by the Black Lantern ring, and then he even stood on Batman's side and fought against the Batman Who Laughs he was promoted to together.

The purpose of the Batman Who Laughs is to create a Laughing version of the multiverse, and this universe is destined to be crazy and twisted. Logically speaking, the Laughing one has no reason to stop him, but he still chose to fight against the Batman Who Laughs. This proves that he is no matter how much he wants a crazy multiverse, he can never tolerate this universe being created by another himself.

And because of the tossing of Anatoly, Shiler, and Bruce, the Batman Who Laughs is unlikely to be born. But this doesn't mean they have no way to disgust the Laughing one.

A dog bites you, although you can't bite the dog, it is still possible to kick the dog into the dung pit. The Laughing one has been running around the universe like a flying big cockroach to disgust them for so long, it is time to eat a big one.

"Having just a head is useless." The agent thought and said, "How to preserve the brain, how to let the Laughing one enable the backup, and how to save the original one after enabling it, it's troublesome."

"The most critical step has been completed." Greed said, "In fact, the hardest thing about this matter is to make the Laughing one feel that we are just suddenly crazy and started to retaliate. In this way, although he will run, he will not use the final life-saving means, otherwise it would not be so easy to catch him."

"There is one more point." The agent also added, "Not only must the Laughing one be deceived, but also the main universe Batman and Arkham Batman must be deceived, so that they also feel that we are purely crazy. Otherwise, although the Laughing one cannot predict our actions, he can see the thoughts of the main universe Batman and Arkham Batman. If they see any clues, and are read by the Laughing one, it will not be easy to handle."

"Fortunately, they both seem to be very adapted to me being crazy." Pride couldn't help but sneer and said, "I heard that I chased from the universe of the Broken Batman to this universe, they didn't even show any surprise, and they also chased over at the fastest speed, seemingly convinced that I wouldn't kill them."

"Arkham Batman doesn't deal with you much, it's normal not to see it. But I think the main universe Batman must have seen that the Pathological one has other plans. Otherwise, why didn't he continue to stop him when he saw you switch targets in the hospital?"

Pride's movements paused, and then said: "Also. Batman will not abandon anyone, he wants to save everyone, there is no reason to save the Joker diligently in the previous second, and ignore it when seeing me kill the Laughing one in the next second. He might have seen that I have other purposes, and in the case of not understanding my plan, he didn't intervene rashly."

"What a good partner." Greed said, "It's just that I don't know how he will feel when he sees that you have already taken the Laughing one's head."

Pride looked at the screen again, the colored lines surged rapidly, showing complex and uneasy thoughts. Batman behind the desk looked at the Laughing one's head that was "bang" placed on his desk, not knowing what to say for a while.
