Chapter 952: Danger (Part I)

The moment they saw that huge broccoli, all three of them were stunned. The one who couldn't understand the current situation most was Zatanna. She even ran toward that broccoli in disbelief.

This huge broccoli was like the World Tree in many literary works, covering the sky and sun, with lush branches and leaves. After getting close, that extremely thick stem probably couldn't be hugged by hundreds of people.

Zatanna really couldn't think of any way to determine if this was real broccoli. She could only lean over and smell it, then showed a disgusted expression. She coughed twice, took two steps back, and said, "That's right, it's broccoli. From childhood to adulthood, as long as this thing appeared on the dining table, my father would definitely use all his strength to persuade me to eat it..."

Constantine, who was most severely injured, also walked over swaying. He said, "How should I describe it? It can only be said to be within reason, but beyond expectations. I once heard Shiler's friend Victor say that when they went to a restaurant for dinner, Shiler rushed into the back kitchen and fired a shot at the broccoli..."

Zatanna raised her eyebrows somewhat confusedly and said, "It shouldn't be that bad, right? Although broccoli is very hard to eat, I haven't liked eating it since I was a child, but it shouldn't be enough to fire a gun at a vegetable, right?"

Constantine shrugged and said, "You've been away from Cat Getan for too long."

Batman stood where he was to recover some strength, then also walked forward, looked up at the branches of this broccoli.

He actually didn't hate eating broccoli. Batman was never a picky eater, but he knew that theoretically, some people hate eating certain vegetables, which might not just be because they are picky. Human genes are very magical, even refined to the point that when they eat certain vegetables, they have different tastes.

"Shiler once mentioned that he has a very severe broccoli allergy. I don't know if his allergy refers to psychological or physiological. If it's physiological, then it makes sense." Batman said.

Zatanna wanted to find a place to lean on somewhat powerlessly, but the impact this broccoli brought to her was also very great. She tried her best to stay away from the broccoli trunk with her last bit of strength, then sat on the ground, sighed, and said, "Are we really going to use a vegetable to deal with this professor? We can't just throw broccoli at him, right?"

Zatanna imagined this scene, showed a disgusted expression, and then said, "My God, I don't think I can do this. This is really too wicked. Throwing broccoli at someone? God, if someone did this to me, I would go crazy!"

"I'm afraid someone really did that." Batman spoke up. The other two looked at him. He said, "Do you remember the 'special targeted measures' written in the medical records?"

Batman took out the cookie box again, then flipped through the medical records, pointed at it, and said, "Look here, whenever Shiler has an illness attack, the medical records mention taking targeted measures..."

"If Shiler's power is truly 2-3 times mine as Constantine said, then it's almost impossible for ordinary people to subdue him without hurting him. But every time a targeted measure is taken, the next step is immediately to bring him back to the observation room for observation."

"Don't tell me, this targeted measure is broccoli??" Constantine showed an absurd expression and said, "They wouldn't hold many broccolis in a circle to ensure Shiler wouldn't move, would they?!"

"It's hard to say." Batman imagined that picture, then turned the corners of his mouth downward, seeming to try hard to suppress his other expressions.

"But not every Shiler is afraid of broccoli. Back then, when Victor and Shiler were eating together, he had seen him eat broccoli. This shows that he likely has a personality that isn't afraid of broccoli." Batman frowned slightly and said.

"Wait a minute, if we see that the thing he fears most in this answer room is broccoli, and he has other personalities that aren't afraid of broccoli, doesn't that mean we have been spinning in one of his personalities?" Zatanna climbed up from the ground again, then frowned and said, "How is this possible? Didn't we shuttle and jump in memory?"

"You haven't truly entered the Mind Tower, so you don't know the structure there. The Mind Tower has many floors, and communication between many floors can only rely on elevators. If there is no permission from the elevator administrator, you can't cross floors." Batman knew this matter quite clearly.

Just as Zatanna wanted to speak, they heard a familiar voice suddenly echoing in the air: "Why are you here??!!"

"Why are you in... My God! Get out! Leave that room! How can you get so close to that broccoli?!!!"

Hearing that this was the familiar voice of Professor Shiler, Batman not only didn't stay away from that broccoli as he said, but rushed to the side of the huge broccoli trunk at a speed that couldn't be covered by ears, and leaned his back tightly against the broccoli.

Sure enough, the next second, Shiler's figure appeared in this space. He was wearing a suit, holding an umbrella, looked at the three people standing next to the broccoli, and showed a puzzled expression.

"How did you come here? The uninvited guests I felt breaking into my room before were you?!"

But Constantine was even more shocked. He said, "Aren't you supposed to be fighting the Green of All? How could you appear here?!!!"

But unexpectedly, Shiler's face immediately darkened. Accompanied by the two sides looking at each other from afar, time began to reverse.

Like a movie pressed with a reverse arrow, the figures of the three detectives exited the room, flew backward in the shuttle, returned to three different memory spaces, and then returned to the spirit world.

Just before the three of them went into Shiler's soul, Shiler was indeed confronting the Green of All.

He stood in the center of the green chamber, in front of Pamela, holding an umbrella, and said to the Green of All: "So it was you. I didn't expect that the first decent opponent I encountered during this time would be the incarnation of plants..."

"I guess you must have taken such a large detour to force Pamela."

"First, use rainwater to poison Cat Getan, causing plant mutation, and then personally concoct the incident where classmates abandoned Pamela, even wanting to use her as bait."

"From this incident, we can see how ugly human nature is. The classmates who were laughing and talking on weekdays not only didn't save her at the critical moment but also wanted to kill her. However, the plants that were silent on weekdays were unwilling to hurt her. Comparing the two, who would an ordinary female college student choose?"

"You wanted to use such a comparison to break through Pamela's psychological defense, let her voluntarily become your agent, but didn't expect that she still didn't choose you. So, you had to fabricate memories in her memory space to trick her into signing the contract."

The Green of All, who finished listening to these words, transmitted a very obvious puzzled emotion. The opposite side didn't seem to be one consciousness, but many consciousnesses integrated together. At this time, Shiler heard a female voice with a slightly puzzled emotion coming from his ear: "... What are you talking about?"

"I can only say that you are very good at using human weaknesses. If Pamela were really an ordinary female college student, you would probably have succeeded long ago."

"That's not it." The Green of All said: "I mean, what you just said... that plan, what is it? What do you mean by me using rainwater to infect humans and plants, and then what is it, concocting some event?"

"Your way of denying is really very low-level." Shiler stared at the vines in front of him and said: "It's useless to pretend you don't know. Take a good look at the curse on you."

The Green of All transmitted an even more puzzled emotion. This wasn't him pretending, but he was really feeling very puzzled. The fact was, he hadn't concocted any conspiracy. He was just passing by and wanted to pick up a bargain.

The Green of All had indeed set his sights on Pamela very early, but Pamela wasn't the only choice. The Green of All was composed of many forces, such as the Parliament of Trees and the Queen of May. And the one who set his sights on Pamela this time was the Queen of May, who was in charge of vines.

The Queen of May didn't only have Pamela as a choice. Their principle for selecting agents was to cast a wide net and catch many fish, selecting multiple targets to cultivate together, and then choosing the most outstanding agent among them.

And the reason why it was said that the Queen of May was just passing by was that when the plants in Cat Getan City began to mutate, the first to notice it was the Queen of May.

The Queen of May originally just wanted to come and see what was going on, but discovered that one of the agents she had once selected was in a dangerous situation.

The Queen of May was not human, she wouldn't feel sympathy for humans, but she was very optimistic about Pamela's potential and didn't want to lose a candidate for an agent. So, she controlled the vines, saved Pamela, and at the same time came to her mental world, wanting to reach a contract with Pamela.

Simply put, the Queen of May came to pick up a ready-made one. She just happened to run into Pamela's poor state. After coming to the mental world, she found that Pamela's aptitude was even better than she had imagined, and she wanted to make a decision on the spot to let her join the job. But unexpectedly, she encountered Pamela's resistance.

The Queen of May didn't quite understand the routine of luring humans with profit, nor did she think an ordinary human could resist her will. Therefore, the means she adopted didn't look like recruitment, but more like kidnapping.

But all of this, in Shiler's view, was too much like a conspiracy. Just as he once said, he didn't know if the other side was this despicable, but he was.

Shiler was accustomed to using human psychological weaknesses to set up traps for the other side. Therefore, after watching this series of events from a bystander's perspective, he would naturally feel that the culprit was the Green of All.

Because, if he put himself into the Green of All, he wanted to force Pamela to become his spokesperson, what should he do?

For humans, trust and a sense of security are extremely important emotional supports. If you want Pamela to completely lean toward plants, you must first break her trust in humans, making her feel that there is no sense of security in human society.

Then, use another spiritual pillar to replace the sense of security she obtained from her own kind, which is the plant that protects her at a critical moment.

In Shiler's view, the logic of this setup was very smooth. If it were him, he would also do this.

And the motivation was also very clear. Shiler knew that in the comics, the Green of All had once wanted to let Poison Ivy Pamela become his new agent, but Pamela refused.

This fact could explain two things. One is that Pamela indeed had the potential to become the spokesperson of the Green of All, and the Green of All was also very optimistic about her.

Two is that if the candidate firmly refused, the Green of All couldn't take too tough measures and couldn't forcibly control the other party.

In this way, the motivation was also there. The Green of All must have set up a trap because Pamela had always been unwilling to become his agent, using polluted rainwater and seemingly mutated plants to put Pamela in danger, using psychological warfare to make her collapse.

In short, Shiler substituted himself and felt that this plan of wrapping a plate of dumplings for a dish of vinegar was very normal.

But the Queen of May was very confused. She was just passing by here and wanted to pick up a bargain. How did she become the culprit? ===== CHAPTER 953 =====
