Chapter 583: We Are the Same Kind of People (Part 2)

"Please sit down, Dr. Hugo. I remember we have never sat down and talked face to face like today." Schiller walked to the single sofa by the window and pointed to the seat opposite. Hugo stood in place with some vigilance and didn't move.

"I'm very sorry to invite you over in such a way, but I do have urgent matters. Forget the plan you plotted with that delusional patient before; I have more important things to talk to you about here."

Hugo narrowed his eyes and said, "Was it you who played tricks when I sank into the dream world last time? That monster, and that battle..."

"So you were there at that time. I thought you had already been kicked out because your mental strength couldn't support it. It seems I really didn't find the wrong person." Schiller picked up a book from the bookshelf behind him and started reading.

Hugo crossed his fingers, paused for a moment, and then walked toward the chair opposite Schiller.

"I think you should have discovered by now that we are the same kind of people. What happened before was just a small welcome ceremony, a nasty Cat Getan-style joke. I think you should be used to it by now." Schiller said to Hugo with a smile.

Hugo snorted coldly. He didn't want to show weakness in front of Schiller, so he couldn't say that he had suffered no small trauma because of the nasty little joke Schiller mentioned earlier.

"You like to control others, peeping into the secrets of others' inner worlds and using this to manipulate them into committing crimes, and you feel happy about it. I am the same." Schiller looked at Hugo and said: "But the difference is that I am closer to that person called Batman. He trusts me more, so I know he has insight into a part of your conspiracy. At this time, he should be formulating a strategy to deal with you."

"I came to remind you, just because you and I are the same kind of people. Sooner or later, we will have to face Batman. Letting you be killed by him has no benefit for me, because sooner or later, he will suspect me too."

"We are the same kind of people."

Hugo's attitude relaxed a little, because Schiller showed him that he wasn't a good person either, and he wasn't planning to act as a justice warrior to sanction him.

Actually, Hugo, who was proficient in psychology, also understood that just as Schiller said, they were the same kind of people—cold and cruel control freaks, born to take pleasure in manipulating others and watching tragedies.

"I think you should have been in Cat Getan for a while. You should know what a rare research material Batman is. If it were you, would you not want to study him?"

"Of course I want to." When Hugo said this, a crazy light radiated from his eyes, just like all the villains in Cat Getan. He said: "He is a mystery... an endless and beautiful mystery. I am fascinated by his state and want to know what exactly prompted such a person to be born..."

"There is no psychiatrist in this world who can refuse to peep into Batman's inner world. And I have done more than you, so now, I have the opportunity to remind you."

"Indeed." Hugo sneered and said: "You are his college teacher, and you appear very close to him. Perhaps he once revealed his past stories to you, perhaps he also showed you some inner secrets. And what he didn't expect is that the teacher who gave him guidance and education is exactly the kind of born psychopath he hates the most..."

Speaking of this, Hugo started to become a bit excited. He said: "I also want to play such a role. That makes my blood boil!"

"Righteous dark night hero, crazy lunatic villain, I will hypnotize them, deconstruct them, manipulate them, and stage one drama after another in Cat Getan, letting the fire of chaos ignite here completely. This is the fundamental reason that prompted me to come here... I belong to Cat Getan!"

Hugo started to tremble with excitement. What he said was the truth. People who don't belong to Cat Getan will eventually leave, and people who belong to Cat Getan, no matter what, will come here, come to this extremely absurd lunatic paradise, compete with their peers, and compete on the same stage.

"If I were to choose a target I hope to cooperate with in this city, it must be you, Dr. Hugo."

"Other lunatics make me feel disgusted. They are not professional enough."

When Schiller said this sentence, when he saw the kind of light in Hugo's eyes, he knew that the other party had taken the bait.

"... They are not professional enough, that is the only reason."

Looking along the wall of this reception room to the other side, in the next room, another reception room that was like a copy-paste, another Schiller was saying the same thing to Tetch.

"Metropolis? I hate this place! I think you shouldn't be doing well living there either. That place doesn't belong to people like us."

"What's even more annoying is a... what? Superman who flies around in the sky? Does he think he's a helicopter?" Schiller lit a cigar, narrowed his eyes, and said in a tone of contempt.

"He left a very bad impression on me. What did I do? I just used a little small means in the process of achieving some of my own goals. I am born to master this tool, why can't I use it?"

"Dr. Tetch, the reason I came to find you is because we are the same kind of people."

"So, forget about that loser Hugo. He didn't even go through one round in my hands before running away in a panic." Schiller sneered.

"I just created a monster in my consciousness space, and it's nothing terrifying. You know, just like that cat that can fly and laugh in your deep consciousness... just a small pet, and it scared him away in a panic. Dr. Tetch, what surprises me is, how could you cooperate with such a person?"

The short Tetch walked to the chair and sat down. His feet couldn't even touch the ground, but he tried hard to make a steady posture, coughed, and said: "He was the one who took the initiative to find me."

"That day, I was testing my brainwave control instrument in the research institute. After the test signal was sent out, I thought it was another bunch of ordinary people's thoughts coming to bother me. However, this signal seemed to be captured by some kind of instrument of his, so the two of us contacted each other across two cities."

"He is in Cat Getan, I am in Metropolis, but my instrument is very powerful and can completely cover this distance. He told me he wanted to set up some kind of plan. It sounds very stupid, right?"

Tetch also touched a cigar from the table. When he felt the delicate touch and the fragrance after lighting it, he knew that the person opposite was the same as him, a top-notch person in this field.

"Seriously, what kind of plan did you guys set up? How come I didn't hear a bit of wind in Cat Getan? If he has this kind of ability, I can only say, give him up as soon as possible, Dr. Tetch. He is not a good partner for cooperation."

Seeming to want to clear his relationship, Tetch hurriedly said: "Plan? No, I can only say that it is even worse than the homework of the students under me."

In order to echo Schiller's statement and not let himself appear so unprofessional, Tetch began to tell Hugo's plan in a relaxed and mocking tone.

"Hugo told me that he needs to get more support in Cat Getan. Simply put, he needs money and status to achieve his goals. There are many wealthy families in Cat Getan, but the vast majority are not easy to deal with."

"The gang families you have there don't advocate the aristocratic family set at all. They believe in the principle that whoever has the bigger fist is the boss. Such people are even harder for us to deal with."

"It's not that there are no pure commercial families, but the vast majority are too close to the Wayne family. There is only one exception, and that is the Elliot family."

"Their family population structure is very simple, and there is only one heir. This means that as long as the heir is handled, one can logically obtain all the resources of the Elliot family."

"Obviously, he thought things too simply. Hugo tried every means to approach the heir of the Elliot family and bewitched him, letting him kill his own parents."

"Hugo thinks that killing that Thomas and taking over the Elliot family himself is not a clear choice. Because he really doesn't know how to do business, rather than that, it's better to keep Thomas and then manipulate him, letting the Elliot family plunder benefits for him and become his foundation in Cat Getan."

"So, he was indeed helping Thomas clear his name, but that damn guy, he killed my Alice, so I must take revenge on him!"

"Can you tell me in detail about your lover?" Schiller looked at Tetch and said: "Of course, I understand your love for her. I just want to know how you two met." ===== CHAPTER 584 =====
