Chapter 4510
"Many people will feel that resilience is the background color of Jason Todd. I don't deny this point. The difficult growing environment will make him have endurance above the average level.
This endurance isn't being insensitive to pain, otherwise, numbness should have been produced. But Mr. Todd's personality has very little escape and numbness, and even much less than ordinary people. He has always faced difficulties directly, accurately finding ways to break through, and rarely has path dependence. This has something to do with his wisdom, but more comes from his powerful internal drive and surging emotions.
I think that what constitutes his internal drive is the key to shaping his personality. At first glance, I would think his internal drive comes from his cognition of himself. He is unwilling to be trapped here, unwilling to be ordinary, so he desperately wants to move upward. This is the internal drive of many bottom-level people with wisdom.
Because he is smart enough, he can have deeper cognition than others, and is not satisfied with the status quo, wanting to see a bigger world and live a better life. This is too common, simply becoming a rule. But I think Jason Todd isn't like this.
Jason's internal drive comes from his empathy. That is to say, it isn't the desire for self-improvement generated by self-cognition, but feeling the situation of people around him. Accurately speaking, it is feeling the hope projected by others onto him, that generated a powerful internal drive.
He is a born revolutionary, and revolutionaries are always painful and impassioned. Their pain comes from: revolutionariness is more like a curse that cannot sit idly by and ignore the pain of others, only able to take on the responsibility of leading others out of the predicament, urging the revolutionary to become a protector, a leader, a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, a fire in the snowfield. This is the source of his powerful endurance and willpower.
And what makes them impassioned is that the hope people project onto them endows them with a sense of mission that is unparalleled. No matter how small the group is, no matter how bad the situation is, any improvement can bring more spiritual encouragement than any material incentive. Many people always say that revolutionaries are good at finding joy in bitterness, but it isn't entirely so. When making progress, they can truly ignore all material conditions and feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Empathy will make people selfless, and selflessness doesn't always get rewarded. This doesn't seem to conform to the trend of modern society, but in this city of Cat Getan, in that dark age I haven't explored much, this is a very precious survival quality.
It might sound a bit strange, but I think the Dark Ages were absolutely not the hunting ground for jungle-ists. On the contrary, too many and too heavy sufferings screened out the revolutionaries who were most empathetic and most able to empathize with the suffering of others. They united together, struggled to survive in the mud, and even fought a bloody path.
Just like primitive society, the pressure of survival was too great, leading to people being unable to survive without unity. On this basis, we constructed a communal society. Under such a model, one after another people like Jason Todd will definitely appear. And besides this, other people's communal attributes will definitely be stronger. Adapt to society, understand society, and love this society and other people in society.
This is why Cat Getan experienced several social changes in a short period of time, but didn't trigger large-scale civil strife. Gothamites love each other more than imagined. They have held hands through so many dark nights, supporting each other, watching and helping each other. The Dark Ages were not their stain, but a torch they lit together with the brilliance of humanity, burning fiercely, never extinguished, until today, until the future."
As Jenna's words fell, everyone couldn't help but applaud her. Victor even couldn't help but praise: "You should run for mayor, miss. This is necessary, because Brainiac can never deliver such an exciting speech at this moment to unite everyone."
"I can," Brainiac said, "Cold knowledge, Dr. Fries, I have a function called recording."
Jenna became a bit shy, she smiled and said: "Thanks for the praise, it wasn't that good. It would be best if I could help."
"Big help," Schiller said, "Now I have more confidence. Let's make some preparations, and then start."
Although it is said to be making some preparations, it still takes a while to get busy. Because freezing and chemical treatment aren't that easy. And just as they were preparing, another good news came: the Super-Body seems to have hope of really resurrecting the living corpses.
The reason why it is said to have hope, rather than having succeeded, is because she discovered that once life force and death force reach a balance, it can indeed make humans return to the state they were in when they were alive. That is, growing continuously because of life force, and decaying continuously because of death force. The life process of normal humans is like this.
But precisely because there is hope, rather than having succeeded, it shows that problems still exist. The most troublesome point is actually the soul, accurately speaking, the spirit.
The body might be able to return to the state of being alive, but the spirit controlling the living corpse body seems to no longer be the original soul of this person, but more like a hallucination constructed by death force. It's just because the authority of death force is high enough, and the hallucination created is exactly the same as the former, so it's not easy to detect the problem.
It's similar to an original file that has been thrown into the recycle bin, and then completely shredded, it doesn't exist at all. But there is an administrator with very high authority, he read the record left by the file in the recycle bin, and then rewrote one exactly the same. It can be said to be the original file, or it can be said not to be.
If it's just like this, there's no problem, but this administrator also has to mix in private goods. He clearly did some tricks, otherwise, there's no way to ensure that the living corpses will listen to him. And the Super-Body can't repair these tricks, because she doesn't have such high authority, can't see what the original file looks like, so naturally, she can't start.
The problem circled back to the starting point: how exactly did Hugo break through the control of the mastermind behind the scenes, and how did he help Novi also break through the control? As long as this problem can be solved, then resurrection really isn't impossible.
That is to say, to resurrect, we still have to solve Hugo first. And the Super-Body can't solve Hugo, Brainiac even stopped her and Hugo from meeting. Because Hugo's ability is really a bit evil, as long as it is an emotional intelligent life, they can all be brainwashed by him. If he really brainwashes the Super-Body, then it's really completely finished.
That is to say, they still have to wait for Schiller to defeat Hugo before it's possible to study resurrection.
However, this made Brainiac's attitude loosen a bit. Because clearly resurrection isn't as simple as the Super-Body thinks. This has a threshold, and it is definitely very difficult, so it is possible to achieve it on a small scale, not belonging to stealing God's power.
Because wanting to resurrect these people, the Super-Body also participated in Schiller's plan. Although she very much disapproves of freezing and injecting chemicals, she also knows that if they don't do this, there is no other way.
The Super-Body conducted a series of examinations on Novi, and the conclusion was similar to Brand's: Novi wasn't resurrected through the normal process, she is more like activating the brain, and then relying on willpower to manipulate the corpse.
This also means that the Super-Body cannot directly take action to disperse the death power, otherwise Novi might turn into a corpse directly. Of course, whoever she disperses will turn into a corpse directly, after all, life force has some restraint on death force. Saying disperse means really not leaving any, without death power control, the living corpse naturally turns into a dead corpse.
Because there is hope for resurrection, the Super-Body really hasn't dispersed the death power in any living corpse, so she didn't dare to act rashly even more. If the strength isn't controlled well, the flesh might also be damaged.
Soon, everything is ready. The efficiency of these two mad scientists, Jonathan and Victor, is not covered, and it was adjusted in just over a day.
Novi's side is the least need to prepare. So far she has been very obedient. The nurse just told her it was medicine to treat the disease, and she drank the medicine prepared by Jonathan.
Of course, when walking into the freezing chamber, she had strong doubts. But after all, she couldn't resist, or rather, after breaking the control of the mastermind behind the scenes on her, she didn't feel she needed to resist. So in the end, she still went in.
Schiller has been watching her from a place Novi couldn't see, observing her various expressions and actions, and was more convinced of his own thoughts. He could probably guess where Novi's strong desire to survive came from.
Entering the mental field isn't difficult. Schiller found Jack directly, let Jack drive the truck through the dream kingdom. After locking onto Novi's mental field, the car stopped at the door.
"Can't just crash in like this," Jack checked and said, "Otherwise it might cause irreversible damage to her mind. Can only open a small hole here, you walk in yourself."
Schiller nodded, he didn't approve of making too much noise either. Until he saw Jack take a chainsaw off the car.
Schiller frowned deeply. Jack said somewhat helplessly: "Don't have that expression. This is a dream, it's a dream, do you understand?"
"You mean you can't make this dream less terrifying? You look like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre now."
"You mean the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is more terrifying than the Joker?"
"That's not it either. But does it have to be this style? How about My Little Pony?"
Finally, both sides took a step back. Jack turned his chainsaw into My Little Pony colors and cut a hole in the wall in front for one person to pass through.
Jack stretched his head in to feel it, and then said: "Your plan worked. That cold feeling is gradually dissipating. Death power seems to be leaving her mental field."
"It's the best time." After speaking, Schiller walked in.
There was no change in light and shadow, and no bizarre things. He stepped into the familiar scene almost instantly. The fireplace in Wayne Manor was burning quietly, and everything was as gloomily silent as it had been more than ten years ago.
