After hours of bickering, they reached no conclusion, and finally, the May Empress withdrew first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The candidate is unwilling to become an agent for now, and there’s no good way to force her; meanwhile, the madman across from her has placed a curse upon her, forcing her to leave immediately and find a way to escape Constantine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The May Empress has certainly heard of Constantine’s infamous name; she knows that being associated with it never brings good fortune, and she has no desire to wake up one day to find demons and angels storming her door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eager to lift the curse, the May Empress refuses to linger. She gradually retracts her vines, preparing to withdraw from Pamela’s mental space and leave this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shi Ler won’t let her leave so easily. As the vines vanished from the room, he glanced at Catwoman and said: “I’ll send you back first, then pursue her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait,” Catwoman said. “Are you saying the chaos in Gotham right now is being orchestrated by these vines?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ler frowned slightly. “Not confirmed yet, but highly likely. After all, since the chaos began, the only stranger who’s appeared here is her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If she’s truly targeting little Pamela, I’ll stay here with her. If this strange entity makes a sudden return, I can protect her.” With that, Catwoman walked to Pamela and helped her up from the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ler didn’t press her further, since he didn’t know whether the Green of All Things might return. Instead, he told Catwoman: “The counterpart to the Green of All Things is the Red of All Beings—it represents all animals in the world.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re human, yet you call yourself Cat. That should attract the Red of All Beings’s attention. If anything goes wrong, you can reach it through dreams—go to the Dreaming Realm and seek Dream Lord Morpheus. Have him help you contact the Red of All Beings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ler said this because the Green of All Things, the Red of All Beings, and the Rotting Realm are the Three Elements of Life, mutually balancing one another. When one grows strong, it inevitably consumes the other two, and friction between them is constant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Red of All Beings once manifested as a black cat with green eyes. As one of the main characters, Catwoman—if she seeks to contact the Red of All Beings—should be able to draw his attention. That could serve as a backup plan to counterbalance the Green of All Things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving these instructions, Shi Ler turned to leave, but Catwoman called out to him: “You’re planning to chase the Green of All Things alone?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the weakened Pamela stood up and looked at Shi Ler. “Professor Shi Ler, you’d better not take such a risk. During our mental connection, I learned that the other side isn’t a single person. Going there alone is far too dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ler noticed Pamela’s tone was always cold, her expression rarely changed—but that didn’t mean she was angry. More likely, her emotions simply weren’t conveyed well through facial expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ler smiled slightly and shook his head. “I’m not alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A while later, in Shi Ler’s Mind Palace, many versions of Shi Ler stood in line on the first floor. The queue stretched toward the palace’s main gate, and beyond it lay the ladder to the Boat of the Underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Superego held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other. As each Shi Ler approached, he scrutinized them, made a mark in the notebook, stamped it, tore off the page, and handed it over: “Passed. Board the boat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DC Shi Ler in the black suit stood near the center of the line. Ahead of him was the Marvel Shi Ler in a white lab coat. The DC Shi Ler sighed: “The Green of All Things should’ve come earlier—back then, troops didn’t even need physical exams.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marvel Shi Ler shook his head. “The exams make sense. After we last released many personas to roam freely, the administrators found many of them were mentally unstable—hard to recapture once let loose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whatever. Doesn’t matter. As frequent upwellings, aren’t we guaranteed to pass?” The Marvel Shi Ler shrugged. “We’re the ones who do all the work. Those guys don’t even commute to work—they get to go out and play sometimes. Honestly, I’m a little jealous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DC Shi Ler gently stroked his umbrella’s handle. “As one of the upwelling traits, we’ve never gotten any perks… Oh, it’s your turn.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marvel Shi Ler turned back. The Superego glanced at him, said nothing, handed him a slip of paper, tilted his head toward the boat. Then the DC Shi Ler stepped forward. The Superego looked at him. Their eyes met. One second passed. Then the Superego spoke: “Failed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DC Shi Ler froze. “...What did you say??!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I said your physical exam failed. You cannot join the campaign.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DC Shi Ler’s eyes widened. “Are you serious? This was my plan—and I can’t go?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoever launched the plan doesn’t matter. If you failed the exam, you don’t go.” The Superego waved him off coldly. “Move along. Don’t hold up the next one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But why? Why did I fail?” The DC Shi Ler asked, bewildered. “I’m one of the most stable upwelling traits—I’m more stable than anyone else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You?” The Superego looked him up and down again. “You’re sleep-deprived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DC Shi Ler’s eyes widened—but immediately, the Shi Ler behind him shoved forward, pushing him out of the line. He could only stand helplessly beside the Superego, glaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the Shi Lers boarded the Boat of the Underworld. When the last combatant stepped aboard, the vessel unfurled its sails and sailed toward the unknown horizon—leaving only the DC Shi Ler alone, gazing into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DC Shi Ler sighed and walked back to Gao Ta, muttering to himself: “He’s just trying to get back at me. Last time, the Dream of a Thousand Cats scared him so badly he dragged the entire tower into the Dreaming Realm, leaving us homeless. What a petty bastard…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he headed for the elevator. Once inside, he pressed the button for his floor, planning to rest and wait for good news. But halfway up, the elevator suddenly stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The DC Shi Ler stepped forward and jabbed each floor button with his umbrella tip—no response. He pressed the emergency call button. A voice came through the speaker: “Elevator under maintenance. Wait a moment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shi Ler inside the elevator pressed his forehead. He suspected the administrators were deliberately targeting him—but he had no proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he sat down, leaning against the elevator wall, one leg straight, the other bent, his hand resting on his knee, idly fiddling with his umbrella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited two or three full hours before the elevator finally resumed. The DC Shi Ler returned to his room—only to find several unwelcome guests already there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following their trail, Shi Ler discovered they had gone to the one room he least wanted to enter. But to understand what was happening, he had no choice but to face the room he feared most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ler glared at Batman, Constantine, and Zatanna standing before him. He took a deep breath and said: “Who’s going to explain why you’re all here?!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Batman glanced at Shi Ler, then at the broccoli behind him, then back at Shi Ler. Finally, he spoke: “We just wandered in by accident.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Ler took a step forward—then hesitated, stopping in place. He gestured to them: “Come here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three seemed to sense the trap. Zatanna, Constantine, and Batman pressed tightly against the massive broccoli’s trunk, refusing to take another step. Constantine said: “You come first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You come first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you come first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, you come first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three refused to move. Shi Ler refused to approach the giant broccoli. They stood locked in stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Shi Ler could no longer endure being in the room. He pointed his umbrella at them: “I don’t care why you came here. Get out. Now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… can we just roll out?” Constantine asked tentatively. Before Shi Ler could answer, he gave Zatanna a glance. She raised her hands, magic glowing—just as they left, they heard Shi Ler’s roar:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, they reappeared on the rooftop of a building in the Spirit Realm. Constantine collapsed onto the ground, gasping: “We actually made it back. Thank God. Thank broccoli…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Batman seemed surprised. Logically, today’s incident should’ve ended badly. Given Shi Ler’s usual tolerance, he never would’ve let intruders leave unscathed after breaking into his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zatanna was the most exhausted. After casting her final teleportation spell, she could barely move. Constantine moved to help her—but she shot him a glare that stopped him. Batman saw her condition and said: “I’ll take you somewhere safe to rest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the Ultimate Evil Curse truly exists, I will uncover its source and eliminate it. After all, I’m a Gothamite. Protecting this city is my duty.” Batman helped Zatanna up. Constantine, standing behind them, rolled his eyes and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t disturb you two. I’ve got to deal with those fool black mages. The mist over the Spirit Realm won’t last much longer. Once it clears, they’ll flood into the city and cause chaos.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constantine shook his head. “They’re short-sighted idiots, sure—but they keep a lot of demons occupied. If they just storm into Gotham, they’ll all die here—and then I’ll have trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Batman glanced back at him, unconvinced—but said nothing. He helped Zatanna away.\u003C\u002Fp>",1666,"2026-06-20T16:39:22.658Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3e0e1721ff766b33157dbfe97873308eed97110453da6ec9763923336f60493b","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-954","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-952",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-cover.jpg"]
