Chapter 3915: MU: Super-Body Big Event (6)

~10 min read 1,918 words

Main Universe Superman hurried back to his universe, but didn't find Batman in the Hall of Justice. Not at the outpost, not in the Batcave. Finally, he saw Batman's figure at the pier. The other party had just solved a villain who was robbing disaster relief supplies.

Main Universe Batman punched the villain down, punched him twice more in the face, twisted his arm and handcuffed him, and escorted him into a police car.

Main Universe Superman flew over and landed slowly beside him. And Main Universe Batman glanced at him, wiped the rain falling on his face, and remained silent.

"I didn't want to use you," he suddenly opened his mouth, "I just think you should know about this."

"I should indeed know. You look much calmer," Main Universe Superman looked at him, "I thought you would hide from me."

"I don't have to do that."

"You are always doing that. You told me this just to branch me off. You think I will stay there for a long time and not come back, so you can have so-called alone thinking time. Are you disappointed to see me come back?"

This should have been somewhat aggressive, but Main Universe Batman couldn't hear half a questioning meaning no matter what. Superman was always very good at saying some questioning sentences like real concern and greetings. And someone else was just the opposite.

"Why did you come here at this time?" The thin and slender figure standing by the window turned his head, looking at Main Universe Batman shaking off the rain on his cloak at the door, "How is the post-disaster repair situation? Didn't it get chaotic, right?"

"Still okay, a few people wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble. Electronic life cut off power a few times, but it wasn't any very important facility. Joker stopped the rebellion assassination of Penguin's subordinates and saved his life. The upper level hasn't been chaotic yet. How are you, Doctor?"

"Not bad. Mnemosyne is asleep, I am confirming the appointment for next week," Schiller sat on the sofa, not raising his head and said, "You came to find me so late, you must have encountered some trouble."

"Doctor, let's skip the part where you pretend you can't read minds and talk directly about your views."

Schiller sighed lightly, closed the phone yellow pages, glanced at Main Universe Batman's eyes, shook his head and said: "I really can't solve this. Wait for the next person to find you."

"Why?"

"Don't ask knowingly," Schiller looked at him and said, "Even if you don't admit you are Bruce Wei En, you are him. You possess the assets of his social identity, then you are a big capitalist. Any righteous person who thinks for the poor is the Sword of Damocles hanging over your head, including Superman."

"You use Batman's identity, spend more money on your equipment, and then go to help the poor and fight crime, none of which can help you escape judgment, because your money gives you choices, while no money gives the poor no choice. When they have choices, you have no choice. This is the basic law of society."

"If you were a stupid person, I could try to compile a set of hypocritical social rules to comfort you. But you are too smart, and I can't compile lies that can completely deceive you. So this kind of treatment is meaningless."

"The brilliance of a good psychologist lies not in telling you what you can escape, but in telling you what you must bear without making you collapse. These are obviously the prices you must bear."

"Are you not worried that I will collapse?"

"You won't. These are actually things you have thought through long ago, it's just that before, Judgment Day only existed in your imagination, and today you saw reality. And you are not sad for your own end, you just don't want the judge to be Superman."

"He can't do such a thing," Main Universe Batman said, "And I can't force him to do such a thing, even if I am voluntary."

"You are always underestimating him. I'm not saying he can do such a thing, but you seem to have no way to imagine that he can refuse you for a very legitimate reason. Can you?"

Main Universe Batman opened his mouth and said: "But he didn't refuse him either."

"I'm not really able to read minds, at least tell me who these two are."

"Injustice League."

Schiller paused and continued: "You envisioned that on the day you accept judgment, you hand over everything, even if it is such a terrible ending, you are willing to accept it. Then you persuaded Superman not to stop all this. But have you ever thought, what if he persuaded you?"

"How could he persuade me?"

"Yes, you feel all this is righteous. If there really is such a day, you might really not resist, as long as the other party can bring happiness to the vast majority of people in the world, even if you are locked up as a supercomputer, you are willing. But all this might be wrong in Superman's eyes. Once he is firm on this point, he will definitely be able to persuade you."

Main Universe Batman obviously didn't believe it, he said: "But this is right. What's wrong with this? If someone can bring a fairer distribution method to this world and has the ability to ensure execution to the end, then he can indeed bring happiness to the vast majority of human beings on Earth. Isn't this the ultimate goal of Superman's efforts?"

"Theoretically speaking, yes. But is Superman a profit-seeking person?"

"Even if he isn't, he can't say this is wrong. So he can't persuade me either."

Schiller smiled and didn't speak. Main Universe Batman rarely felt a trace of tension, he said: "Do you have such confidence in him?"

"Go," Schiller pointed to the door and said, "I said, for this problem, psychological treatment is useless. If you have this time, you might as well go to the pier and move more sandbags."

Main Universe Batman, who was walking on the road with Main Universe Superman, came back to his senses. He shook his head and said: "I am very happy you can come back. There is nothing to be disappointed about."

"You look like you have something to say."

Main Universe Batman stopped his steps, hesitated for a while before saying: "If one day I become like that, what will you do?"

"Of course, save you."

"What if I deserve it?"

"How could you deserve it?"

"Don't you think Bruce Wei En deserves it?"

Main Universe Superman shook his head.

"Then what role should Wei En Enterprises play in a fair society? Continue to be high above?"

"Of course not. If according to his tax collection method, Wei En Enterprises should go bankrupt soon. You might become a pauper."

"I mean," Main Universe Batman looked into Main Universe Superman's eyes and said, "Don't you think Bruce Wei En should pay the price for past unfairness?"

"Who knows," Superman sighed, "I know, I can't say anything like 'this is not your fault alone', and of course I can't say 'social responsibility cannot be imposed on you alone', because many times you do have choices. You enjoy more wealth, naturally you bear more responsibility. What you alone have paid for the poor can never compare to what Wei En Enterprises has obtained from the poor. This is a sin that cannot be redeemed. Therefore, you feel that if Judgment Day really comes, whatever punishment you receive is deserved—for you not saving more people, for you not saving everyone."

"But you got one point wrong. If Judgment Day really comes, it will never be someone judging you. If that person is me, I will give up; if it is someone else, I will stop him. Because this is not fair enough."

"Why?"

"Even if I brought happiness to everyone, I cannot claim that I can represent the will of the people with my will. If someone thinks they have done the right thing and gives themselves the infinite power to represent others, then he is not a hero, but a tyrant."

"Your voluntary sacrifice is also like this. If you think this is correct and give yourself the power to represent the will of others, thinking that everyone hopes to see you go to such an ending, then this is arrogant and wrong. I will naturally stop you."

"Why would they not hope to see me go to such an ending?"

"Because this is not normal, this is very cruel," Main Universe Superman looked at him with a look like looking at a fool and said, "You might go bankrupt and become a pauper, or even be heavily in debt or go to jail, but becoming a brain soaked in a jar? Come on, this is anti-human!"

"Batman, your arrogance lies in the fact that you seem to never want to believe that normal people are the majority in this world. You think that when Judgment Day comes, you will have a global referendum, and everyone will vote to put you in a formalin jar? Just because you used to be a rich man?"

"...... Won't they?"

"Haha," Main Universe Superman seemed to have heard some absurd joke, he said, "If I list two options: one is to put Bruce Wei En in a formalin jar, and the other is to let Bruce Wei En fly to their home immediately and give them a kiss. Do you believe 90% of the people in the world will choose the latter?"

"Why?"

"Because you look good. They will want a kiss from a handsome guy, not a human specimen that has nothing to do with them."

"But my brain..."

"Not everyone has a brain. Most people in this world usually choose the latter between the brain and the lower body, because they love themselves more than you, know how to indulge more, and are more selfish."

"And precisely because of this, they are kinder than you think, because they are more emotional, more willing to think 'is it too cruel to put a person in formalin', and whether the person who promotes this will one day impose this kind of thing on them."

"You think why the Superman of the Injustice League didn't dare to announce to the world that he brainwashed Batman? Because he knows most people won't agree and will scold him as a perverted lunatic. He is not unable, but dare not."

"So, you can voluntarily let Wei En Enterprises go bankrupt, or not resist, and let the tax law redistribute your wealth, but not voluntarily offer your brain to become a public calculator. And I stop this anti-human thing, not because I am unwilling to fight for a fair society, but because this is not normal. Okay?"

Main Universe Batman suddenly realized that Schiller was right again this time. Because Superman really persuaded him.

"You have a superpower," Main Universe Batman said, "A superpower to stay normal at all times."

"This is not a superpower," Main Universe Superman looked very helpless, he said, "I can stay normal at all times because I am a normal person. This is not something that needs effort to do."

"This is a superpower."

"This is not!"

"It is."

"Why?"

"Because I am Batman."

?? The charm of a normal person. ===== CHAPTER 3916 =====
