Chapter 4450: Prelude to Darkness (42)

Schiller also stood up and then said, "Batman is right. Your memories have been completely edited, and your emotions have been manipulated. But wanting to defeat this power is almost impossible. Because death and resurrection is a reshaping. You yourself are already not that person anymore. So those things that are gone weren't hidden, but weren't written in from the beginning. They can never be found back."

Damian was still a bit unconvinced; he said, "But since I know rationally what I should feel at that time, I can also believe I have it."

Schiller shook his head and said, "I said, love can't be faked. If you insist on faking it, maybe you can fool ordinary people. If you want to fool Batman, you're thinking too much."

After Damian left Schiller's room, the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became. Although he admitted in his heart that Batman and Schiller were right, they were incomplete after being resurrected. Many things had been artificially removed, did not exist in their memories, and could never be found back.

However, this didn't mean they couldn't rewrite them. After all, normal people's memories fade too. Some things might be very exciting to think about after a day or two, but after a year or two, that feeling of excitement fades. Even after a long time, one might only remember the event, not the feeling. Isn't that the same as them now?

Then now, they rationally know that something should be worth being excited about, so just pretend they have been excited. Fill the emotional experience that should exist back in; although it's not as intense as having experienced it personally, it counts as having it. Why wouldn't it work?

Although he thought this way, it actually wasn't an easy thing. This required sorting out his memories from the beginning, and then filling them in bit by bit. Even if it was just filling in the most basic things, it was very difficult.

Damian stared blankly for a long time, feeling that this wouldn't work. So he simply took out his phone and started searching for Batman online.

Unfortunately, a long time had passed since his era, so he couldn't find any clues. However, the latest news about Batman was very shocking, and that was the scene where Batman defeated Steppenwolf.

Because the location of the incident was a scenic spot, there were many surveillance cameras, and that scene was naturally filmed. Damian clicked on the video, and when he saw the powerful Steppenwolf being killed in one move by the Hellbat armor, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, his heart pounding.

This is too strong! Damian couldn't help but think. He flipped to the comment section below and found that everyone had the same thought as him; this armor was simply cool to the point of explosion, and the ability was also outrageously heaven-defying—where did this numerical monster run out from?!

Damian continued to read down and found that there was actually a debate post. The general theme was "On whether Superman would have had anything to do with it if he had been present when fighting Steppenwolf."

Damian was furious on the spot: What kind of nonsense are you talking about? If Superman could beat the Hellbat armor, I'll eat this phone!

Damian started typing furiously. But he wasn't used to this model of phone, typed slowly, and couldn't understand some of the popular internet slang abbreviations, and the abbreviations of English internet vocabulary were even more varied. He could only check Google while debating with others; when he couldn't win the argument, he would go everywhere to dig up details of the Hellbat armor and analyze them, until he left the other party speechless.

Bang bang bang!

The door was suddenly knocked, giving Damian a fright. He crawled out from under the covers, only to find that it was already dawn. Amanda was shouting outside: "Damian! Hurry up and get up, it's time!"

Damian climbed up unwillingly. Although he wasn't very sleepy, he didn't like Amanda's plan at all and had already decided to slack off. So he packed up slowly. When he went out, everyone was already ready to go.

"Take it, your equipment." Amanda threw him two guns and a grappling hook. Damian didn't say anything and returned to the team.

"Alright, repeat the combat plan again. The first team is responsible for the assault, the second team is responsible for drawing away the people on the second floor..."

Damian's mind was full of the details of the Hellbat armor; he was using his limited mechanical engineering knowledge to analyze how the upper arm transmission was done. That thing looked completely unscientific.

Bruce clearly noticed Damian's distraction; he nudged Schiller with his elbow, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "You're really something, you got it done in one night."

Schiller shook his head lightly: "Not me, it's Batman."

"I knew it," Bruce said, "there's simply no Robin who can escape Batman's charm."

Schiller smiled. Although he didn't say anything, he also agreed with Bruce's statement. The mastermind's plan was good, and he executed it quite perfectly, with the memory deletion being very precise—all the good was deleted, and all the bad was left. This resulted in this group of people gathering here now, wanting to deal with the Justice League.

But the problem was, he only deleted the feelings in the memories, and didn't deprive everyone of all emotions. It might also be because if all emotions were deleted, it would be a bit too much like an android, unable to disguise and lurk, so they were retained.

This would lead to a problem: people always repeat stepping into the same river. A person always repeatedly falls in love with the same type of person.

One could tell from the attitude of this group of people. For example, the Allens, in fact, they had no malice toward Barry. Because as Damian said, there really wasn't any deep hatred between them worth writing about. So even if love was deleted, there was no resentment. It's just that they wouldn't care about Barry as much, but wouldn't hate him to the point of wanting to kill him.

They participated in the President's assassination operation because they were dissatisfied with the government, because they died due to public security issues at the time.

Take Dr. Oude again; he didn't care about J'onn at all, and didn't even go to find him, because he had no conflict with J'onn. Even if the friendship between them was deleted, the two were just strangers.

Dr. Oude was also only targeting the government, so he would also actively participate in the assassination operation.

Amanda goes without saying; she was a pure hater. Originally, there were no positive emotions, so she was naturally very active.

And Steve was very strange. Or rather, he was fine at first, cooperating with Damian to perform a kidnapping play. But with Wonder Woman's appearance, the whole person started to be a bit distracted.

For example, during the kidnapping case, he should have at least cooperated with Damian, saying some things to persuade Diana, or simply pretending to be injured or painful to trick Diana's pity, but in fact, he just stood there blankly staring at Diana and didn't do anything else.

Schiller could see that he had once again stepped into a repeated river. The coincidence was that Steve and Diana fell in love at first sight back then. The previous good memories were gone, but it didn't affect them falling in love at first sight again. To be precise, Diana might have let go, but Steve was clearly hooked again.

And Damian. There wasn't any Robin in this world who wouldn't be moved by Batman. They would become Robin, which meant they appreciated and worshipped Batman; they just liked this type.

Even if Damian was Batman's biological son, rather than someone who sought him out. But being able to actively become his assistant also proved that he liked Batman and wanted to fight alongside him.

The previous ones were deleted. But as long as they went to understand Batman again, they would still be attracted by Batman. Because they were just such people. Unless you deleted their entire soul and replaced it with a new one, people would fall in love with Batman countless times.

And Schiller also knew why Batman had that strange attitude toward Damian. To put it bluntly, it was playing hard to get. Could Schiller not understand this operation?

Actually, as long as one jumps out of the twisted and dark relationship of Gotham, everything becomes very clear—if it wasn't intentional, Batman wouldn't have this attitude toward ordinary children either.

In fact, whether Batman was Batman or Bruce Wayne, his attitude toward children was better than toward adults.

Even if it could be explained as him hating things like death and resurrection. But the way Batman expressed his hatred was usually ignoring or not answering, rather than giving a long speech there.

Batman saw Damian twice, and both times he said a lot, then left coldly. This was clearly not quite right. If he really hated him, there was no need to talk nonsense at all; he could just leave.

Batman was originally the type of person who advocated efficiency; why would he talk nonsense with someone he hated and who had no value? He did this, only possibly because he was fishing.

Sure enough, Damian took the bait. In fact, from the first time he felt indignant, he had already taken the bait. Many relationships in this world start with "Why?"

Of course, it usually isn't a very healthy relationship. However, "not believing in evil" is indeed a major pillar of human reproduction. If everyone could learn to accept their fate in relationships, there wouldn't be so many twists and turns and unrequited loves.

Clearly, Batman's plan was very successful. After only two stimuli, Damian had already begun to understand Batman again. Then, very unsurprisingly, he was attracted to Batman yet again. Now, he was obviously lost in a trance.

"Time is still a bit tight," Schiller said, "but it has to be this way. If we really let them go all out, someone might get hurt."

Bruce nodded. Actually, going to bluff in the middle of the night yesterday was still a bit too urgent. But there was no way around it; Damian was the most skilled person in this group. If you didn't divert his attention and really let him use his true skills to go crazy in the hospital, Superman might be fine, but others would be miserable.

Now, the most powerful one had decided to slack off, and his mind wasn't on the plan at all. This doomed their assassination operation this time to failure. But this was their only opportunity, and they couldn't afford failure. Then what would they do?

The group got into the car and rushed to the hospital. Amanda still had some ability, avoiding various checkpoints all the way and successfully driving into downtown Metropolis. But they were already targeted when approaching the hospital.

Sharp and piercing sirens sounded all around; Amanda poked her head out to take a look, cursed, and said to Schiller who was driving: "Accelerate, we're rushing straight into the hospital!"

Schiller didn't say a word, but slammed on the accelerator. The car rushed forward violently, charging toward the hospital at an extremely fast speed. The roar of helicopters appeared overhead; he ignored them, directly crashing through the barrier of the hospital parking lot. The car crashed into the side door.

The group got out of the car quickly and rushed inside according to the original route. But they ran into trouble before they had rushed out a few steps.

?? People will always fall in love with Batman repeatedly. ===== CHAPTER 4451 =====
