Chapter 994: Battle for the High Tower (29)

When hearing the word "gentle", Batman tasted this vocabulary in his mouth again, but this time, he did not make a sound. He could see that with the deepening of the conversation, the professor's mood was not very good.

However, if things were really as he said, this was indeed an unprovoked disaster. The teacher at the freshman registration office asked for leave at a very bad time, but in the final analysis, Batman came at an even worse time.

After giving up the deep investigation of this vocabulary, Batman began to recall how Shiler, as a teacher, taught him.

Before starting to think about this question, he must first figure out, was Shiler really teaching him?

After recalling, Batman found that the answer was yes, but the word "teaching" was also worth tasting.

During his freshman and sophomore years, Shiler actually did not tutor Batman's studies, but during that time, Shiler's figure always appeared in all the major cases Batman investigated.

The time Batman was most impressed by was when the female boss of the living hell, Fish, died. Batman conducted a series of investigations, and the result was because of Shiler's umbrella.

Later, Shiler and Jack dug out the egg of laughter in his deep heart. It happened to be the invasion of the Yellow Lantern. Batman and others fought in a dream, and Shiler finally brought out Aisha.

Later, Shiler went to Metropolis, and Batman had to investigate the clues of the murder case in the Mayor's manor again, and then, the Cat Getan tour of Maocheng was still because Shiler stimulated the dream of a thousand cats.

The first half of the slum tour had nothing to do with Shiler, but in the second half, he gave Bruce a fatal blow.

And this time, Batman would fall into the Underworld, also because Shiler fell into the Underworld.

Recalling carefully, it seems that every time an event with Shiler appeared, Batman could always learn something from it.

The detective wisdom of breaking clues layer by layer, the technique of exploring strange dreams, the courage to fly to the deepest part of the abyss to face the reality of madness, the strategy of participating in large-scale wars, and the realization of witnessing the revolutionary process...

In the initial events, Batman was still firm in this answer. He wanted to take revenge on criminals, but accompanied by various ups and downs, magnificent events, Batman found that he no longer had a definite answer.

When he was in the mine tunnel before, Batman had already re-thought this question. What was he fighting for? What were his ideals? And what were his thoughts?

Was it revenge? Was it saving Cat Getan?

When thinking of these two answers, Batman felt dissatisfied instinctively. He found it difficult to say where this dissatisfaction of his came from, as if such an answer was not worthy of his bumpy and vicissitudes of life along the way.

Batman felt that it was very difficult for anyone to define their life with a single vocabulary or a goal after so many things.

The less a person experiences and the smaller the world they know, the easier it is to label themselves narrowly, then solidify their thinking in the direction of the label, seek recognition in circles with the same label, and then cut off all opportunities to choose again, and embark on such a path without looking back.

However, if the thrills and ups and downs experienced along the way are exciting enough, and the scars left by breaking through thorns and the courage and wisdom exercised are enough, people will find it difficult to be satisfied with the achievements brought by a small label. This is why the right path in the world is full of vicissitudes.

Batman had a similar feeling. If he poured everything he learned along the way into goals like taking revenge on criminals or saving Cat Getan, he always felt that he was at a loss.

He had seen the sunset in the living hell, the boundless black tide in the dream world, danced with strangeness and cunning in Metropolis, struggled with poverty and weakness in the slums, heard the roar of rock and roll in Maocheng, and seen the setting sun like blood in the Underworld.

Did he walk such a long road, suffer so many injuries, learn and realize so many things, just to hit criminals on the street?

Seeing Batman fall into deep thought, Shiler coughed lightly and said: "Your thoughts now just answer my current state."

"The infected me gave the answer you most wanted to hear at that time, but you and I both know that it is not the correct answer. It is neither the correct answer for everyone nor your correct answer." Shiler sighed again and continued:

"But for a long time afterwards, you believed it to be true, or rather, you actually always thought so. For this, I must take many actions to erase the wrong answer, make your conclusion shake, and then you can truly pursue a correct answer."

Shiler looked down at himself, slowly restrained the somewhat crazy smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "And just after you ended the slum tour, something I had been trying to do for a long time without success made breakthrough progress."

"Fatalism is always mysterious, but I also have another way to check your state, that is, as long as I try to merge with the Joker Shiler, which is the other half of the infected fragment, through the smoothness of this process, I can judge whether you have made new progress."

"After you came back from the slums, I tried it again as a matter of routine, and then found that we could perform short-term fusion for the first time."

"However, at this time, other problems appeared." Shiler shook his head and said somewhat helplessly: "The permission on the software was reached, but the hardware could not be merged so easily."

"When I first came to Cat Getan, the superego realized that this is a very dangerous city. He needs some powerful personalities to support my actions so that I don't fall into danger."

"However, many powerful personalities have too strong aggression. After being released, I have no danger, but Cat Getan University will be more dangerous. Thus, the superego chose the arrogance personality fragment, which is both a negative trait and does not have such strong aggression."

"But also because of some special reasons, the complete arrogance cannot directly float to the surface consciousness, so the superego divided them into two."

"The superego is not a personality fragment. He is the collective consciousness of all personality fragments, equivalent to the administrator of my soul. He possesses very strong power and authority."

"Therefore, when dividing personality fragments, they were divided very thoroughly. At the same time, he used a mysterious power to make the wound after division heal quickly, leaving no scars at all."

"So, when I wanted to merge with the other half of the fragment, I found that we had actually become two complete fragments. It is very difficult to merge into one again."

"I think you should know that when performing plant grafting, both sides must have wounds to have the possibility of fusion. In other words, we in the full state have no way to perform fusion."

"After Constantine made a city of broccoli, you only saw me fall into weakness, but the other half of the personality fragment of the same origin as me, which is the Joker Shiler, also fell into weakness."

"At this time, I realized that the opportunity had come. We two now belong to an extremely weak state. As long as we artificially create wounds, we have the opportunity to merge together again."

"Therefore, I let the FBI agent take me away. I thought they would successfully send me to Washington and then conduct torture and interrogation on me. This might stimulate my spirit and create wounds used for fusion..."

Shiler shook his head helplessly and said: "But I really didn't expect that the people they sent couldn't even get out of Cat Getan."

"The plan of using torture and interrogation failed, and I had to find another way. I thought, if I am constrained by the flesh, then we must look for spiritual stimulation to bring psychological trauma, but if there is no flesh, we can directly damage the soul and create wounds."

Batman and Shiler looked at each other. Shiler opened his mouth and said: "So, I killed myself and fell into the Underworld."

"The somewhat unstable state you observed before is also because we are trying to merge." After speaking, Shiler glanced at General Fuxin and said: "After coming to the mine, I realized that the opportunity had come. This brutal mine owner should be able to create wounds that satisfy me."

Shiler looked down at the metal lock buckle on his collarbone and said: "He did a good job, but what was out of my expectation was that just having wounds was still not enough to perform smooth fusion, because in the process of fusion, I need to replenish a large amount of energy."

Shiler peeled off the fat on the lower half of the slightly burnt roasted meat skin, then forked it and sent it into his mouth. He said: "Thus, I asked him to provide me with some extra help."

"Perhaps. You have heard long ago that powerful demons can devour weak demons, but in fact, human souls can also do this. We can also devour demons."

"Of course, the strength of human souls can never compare with demons." Shiler glanced at General Fuxin again, showed a smile and said: "But what humans are best at is using tools."

"Even if I can devour a whole demon, I will not adopt such a barbaric method. Humans need tableware to eat, chew slowly. The era of us drinking blood has passed for too long."

After speaking, Shiler took the plate from the strange demon's hand, put the freshly roasted belly meat into his dinner plate, cut it into small pieces, and sent it into his mouth.

Batman was still in a trance of thinking. After listening to Shiler's narration, he finally understood what was going on with the professor's attitude as if he had a grudge against him. It was not as if, Shiler just had a grudge against him.

Batman was very sure that when Shiler was teaching him to find the answer to this question, he must have been using public office for private revenge, but he had no evidence, and he suspected that there was not a bit of teaching mixed in the private grudge.

At first, he thought Shiler was a criminal, so he targeted him because he couldn't stand vigilantes. Later, he thought Shiler was a mental patient, so he targeted him because he couldn't stand normal people. But now it seems that Shiler's actions had a very clear motivation and goal.

All seemingly abnormal targeted actions came from what happened when they first met. The cause and effect matched, and the logic was reasonable.

In other words, although Shiler was sick, his actions targeting Batman were not because of the illness.

Then if Shiler's behavior was normal, who was abnormal? ===== CHAPTER 995 =====
