Chapter 4102

Greed had already seen it; the main universe Batman was doing this out of deliberate revenge. He happened to bring a loafer to disgust them when they were busiest. But he was too busy to spare a hand now, and couldn't even get the Agent away, so he could only watch him wander around here for a day.

But fortunately, the Agent was just drinking coffee and eating donuts, and didn't come to cause trouble. It sounded like good news, but actually, the one causing trouble was someone else, such as Pride.

Greed's and Pride's consulting rooms were connected, separated by a wall. There were superheroes queuing outside both. The superheroes who walked out from Greed's side were either holding prescriptions or medicine directly, and their complexions looked okay. But those who came out from Pride's side were all smiles when they went in, and looked like they were mourning when they came out. Don't ask, asking means they were scolded until they were pierced to the heart.

Still the same sentence, psychologists are not responsible for judging right or wrong. They only think of ways to guide you to say your thoughts, analyze the problems in your psychology, and teach you how to fight against the emotions that affect your mental health. Greed generally does this too: he will gradually guide out the patient's mental weaknesses, analyze the other party's emotional problems, and judge whether this will cause an impact on his health. If the impact is great, it needs to be solved; if a pathological reaction has already occurred, then medicine is needed.

Under normal circumstances, he explains it very clearly and can also use professional knowledge to let superheroes realize the importance of mental health and actively accept treatment, or even take medicine regularly.

But Pride is different. He is not a doctor at all—mutual harm with Gothamites can't count as experience—he has almost no applied psychology experience, purely doing theory, and doesn't follow the treatment guidelines of psychologists.

So his medical process is roughly: look at you first, then point out your weaknesses in one needle. If you have an overreaction, then use even sharper words to dissect your inner self completely until you have nothing to say.

After watching for a while at the doors of both, the Agent discovered: Pride is not conducting psychological treatment at all; he would rather call it a unique interrogation method.

Of course, those who were "interrogated" couldn't be considered completely innocent. Because if you don't argue with Pride, he won't say much more. Even if you don't chat about psychological problems, just chat about the books on the bookshelf or the decorations on the table, then even if he sees something, he won't say much. Those who were broken were basically all stubborn donkeys.

And what was somewhat unexpected was that Morbid's side went more smoothly. They were quite normal when they weren't going crazy. However, most of them had no interest in psychological treatment, and some even just looked at you and let you go, making people feel inexplicable.

And the other helpers who were invited also had their own ways. Actually, it didn't take three days; in about a day and a half, the psychological data was collected. Then after research and analysis, they really managed to put together a team.

On Batman's side, the mentally healthiest are Adventure Batman, Lord Batman, and Bat-Mite, as well as Bat-Car.

The first three are easier to understand: the universes they live in are relatively sunny, and there aren't too many dog-shit things. Although they also experienced the death of their parents, they all accepted this fact, and becoming Batman wasn't because of psychological trauma.

The last one is quite unique: don't look at Bat-Car looking like a comedic character; he is a proper Earth ball-chief. In the world where Bat-Car is, he has already ruled the whole world and given everyone a happy life. But just because this group of stubborn people felt they had lost their freedom, they united to hunt down Bat-Car, forcing him to have to upload his consciousness to the Batmobile.

Bat-Car's life is already very full; the things he wanted to do were all achieved, and there were no regrets to make up for, so even if he is a car, he doesn't care. Otherwise, relying on Batman's technical means, getting himself a mechanical body would be simple.

And after several rounds of screening, it was finally decided that Bat-Car and Adventure Batman would go in. Because the hearts of these two really have no weaknesses. Greed tested them repeatedly and couldn't find any things they were very afraid of. This kind of person is the nemesis of nightmare power by nature.

And on Superman's side, because there weren't many people left, Adventure Superman had already sacrificed in the previous battle, so it was truly impossible to find a suitable one, so they gave up letting Superman go in.

Then it's Green Lantern. It was finally decided that only the Emerald Prince Hal from Bruce's universe would go in: on one hand, he just completed the fusion of dark power and green lantern energy, and the intensity is very high; on the other hand, he has no regrets—his father is alive and well, and there are no scenes of turning against Sinestro, let alone the betrayal of the Little Blue Men and the destruction of his hometown. On the contrary, not long after his debut, he obtained a very high status within the Green Lantern Corps, and until today, he has always been in a high position, and his life has been easy; the biggest nightmare is at most Pamela's hitting plants and Bruce's biting phone.

Then it's Barry, he's about the same. His parents are alive and well, and until today, the biggest difficulty was the final exam. Letting him enter the nightmare is at most brushing a few more sets of papers; even if this paper was written by Schiller, it's still better than other people's nightmares.

Marvel's side can pick quite a few tall ones. Stark's and Strange's lives are both quite full. However, Strange has to build the solar system shield, so only Stark can go.

Then there's Helen. This child doesn't eat bitterness no matter what she eats; the biggest setback she encountered in her life was when she was gnawing on a neutron star and got choked in her throat—that was still when she was a child; she never encountered it again after growing up. And her martial arts level is also enough.

In addition, there is a very unique one, which is Squirrel Girl. She is a comedic character, of course she won't have any annoying things, and comedic characters can always turn a very serious thing into something very funny, very suitable for entering nightmares.

Just like this, a group of people formed a team, preparing to explore nightmare power first. They made full preparations when they left; some weapons and equipment that weren't used on Marvel's side before were all brought away by them.

Actually, everyone felt very uneasy about their exploration this time. After all, Scarlet Witch and Magneto had fallen for his tricks before. Even if these people have no psychological trauma and their willpower is strong enough, if there is an accident, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back.

After the team left, everyone was waiting for news uneasily. They prepared for several days, but actually the combat time was only about three hours, and the command center located on Earth received news of their withdrawal from the nightmare power range.

Adventure Batman, who returned to the base as the leader, shook his head and said: "No, it's different from what we imagined. He didn't compile nightmares completely based on real experiences; on the contrary, he would deliberately make the story more dark, even distort the facts, and fabricate experiences that didn't exist at all, making us believe them to be true, and then come to destroy our spirit."

The complexions of the others were also not very good. Stark sighed and said: "Actually, he just used our worries. For example, before, I was always worried that the Schiller I knew would be swallowed by his other personality traits, and then this kind of worry came true in the nightmare, almost scaring me to death."

"I'm about the same," Adventure Batman sighed and said, "When Jason just came back, I was a bit worried that he would give up on himself. Although it didn't happen in reality, in the nightmare, my worry became reality: he not only fell into being a criminal, but also killed Dick. And I was immersed in this kind of nightmare, unable to break free at all."

The situations others said were also about the same as what the two of them said. And Wanda thought for a moment and said: "Indeed, the dream I experienced at that time was also completely not true. Jarvis and my sons couldn't have disappeared out of thin air, but he was able to compile such a nightmare. I originally thought this was a psychological trauma left after I listened to other Scarlet Witches tell their stories, and I was too eager for a happy family, so I had such a mental loophole. But now it looks like he actually used my anxiety."

Everyone fell silent for a moment. Many people have experienced misfortune, but many times it can't be counted as any great psychological trauma; it can at most be counted as a regret. But anxiety is something no one can avoid—even if you bring Lucifer here, he would probably have nightmares for a few days.

But they also all know that since it is called nightmare power, it is actually more reasonable to be like this. Because most people have nightmares, not because of any great psychological trauma, but mostly because of thinking about it during the day and dreaming about it at night: always worrying about something during the day, and it's very easy to dream about things going in a bad direction at night. This is the law of human psychology and spirit, not something human power can change.

Everyone looked at Greed again. Greed thought for a moment and said: "Actually, I feel our direction is wrong. No one is perfect; everyone has things they worry about, including me. We can't find an existence that hasn't worried about anything at all, so we might as well go the opposite way."

"Go the opposite way?"

"That's right; since there is no perfect order, we might as well use complete, crazy chaos. Think about the nightmares Nightmare compiled before: although Batman's and Constantine's nightmares have more logic, they are also trapped deeper there, completely unaware that they are dreaming; while the Agent's nightmare is particularly chaotic, completely unable to see what he is dreaming, but he can clearly know that he is dreaming. This is actually one of the laws of the subconscious—the more chaotic the dream, the more loopholes, the easier it is for people to notice they are dreaming. Do you have any such experiences if you think about it carefully?"

Everyone began to recall, then chattered and said: "It seems that's really the case. Once I dreamed that an elephant three stories high rushed into my bedroom; at first I was very scared, but suddenly I realized that an elephant couldn't be this big, and then I was thinking, am I dreaming."

"That's right, I'm the same. Before, I dreamed that my aunt drove to school to pick me up, but she was actually driving a BMW. I was stunned, but I immediately realized I must be dreaming, because even if my aunt became rich, she would absolutely not spend money unjustly to buy a luxury car, and even less would she drive this kind of car to school to pick me up; she would worry about me being isolated."

After they said this, many people remembered that sometimes they would have lucid dreams, which is realizing they are dreaming, but deliberately not waking up, but letting the dream develop, or doing various things in the dream they wouldn't dare to do in reality.

There aren't many people who can actively realize they are dreaming, but there are quite a few who discover it passively. Most are because some dreams are truly too illogical and contradict the laws of reality they recognize in their subconscious, and they discover the clues, only then realizing they are dreaming, and only then waking up.
