In the room of the manor, on the soft sofa, Victor leaned his body on the armrest of the sofa. He turned back to look at Schiller who was sitting behind the table playing with the globe, and asked him: "You called us all here."
do what?"
Cobot was fiddling with a lock on his pocket, seemingly trying to adjust its length. Sitting opposite him, Vince Yin held a wine glass and swayed the wine inside. The liquid showed a golden luster and was also
White foam appeared, and Jack lay on a single sofa, squinting his eyes and taking a nap.
Schiller leaned back in his chair and kept moving the globe in his hand. When he put the globe on the table, the earth model on the globe was still rotating slightly. He looked at Victor and asked: "You
Don’t you notice anything different here?”
"What's the difference?" Victor looked up and looked at the entire room. This was the living room of the Schiller Manor. There was a row of soft sofas, two single sofas and several cushions. There was also a coffee table in the middle of the sofa, one side of the room.
To the side is Schiller's desk, and behind the desk is a row of huge bookshelves. The table and bookshelves are filled with all kinds of miscellaneous items.
Victor had been here before, and he didn't see anything unusual. Just when he wanted to continue asking Schiller, he looked at Schiller again and felt something was wrong. He asked Schiller: "What's wrong with your head?"
?”
At this time, Schiller's head turned into a rotating globe, but no one else noticed it. Only Jack, who was lying opposite, opened one eye slightly and made two "hissing" sounds from between his teeth.
Voice sound.
"Okay..." Schiller with the globe head stood up from behind the table. This should have been a very strange scene, but Victor didn't feel anything unusual at all, as if it was normal for him to become like this.
"Think carefully, Victor, how did you get in here?"
"Of course I came from school, I..." Victor was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Am I dreaming?...Is this in my dream?"
"You said the opposite. This is not your dream, but my dream."
Victor showed a surprised expression. Schiller walked over to Victor and sat down, turning his globe head to look at Victor. Victor was not sure whether he really turned his head, because
The globe is actually spinning all the time.
Everyone except Jack slowly sat upright and looked at the space in surprise as if they had just woken up.
"Of course, it is impossible for human consciousness spaces to be connected, just like dreams cannot be connected. What one person imagines in his mind cannot be seen or touched by another person, let alone up close.
observed……"
"But..." Schiller, who had the head of the globe, turned to Vince Yin again, and said: "The reason why I can pull other people's thoughts into my conscious space starts with you, Vince Yin...
…”
Vince Yin looked at Schiller's head with the globe on his head. He didn't know what to say for a moment. This scene was simply horrifying in reality, but in this space of consciousness, he didn't think there was any problem, because there were many more
Even weirder things, like, they're sitting on the ceiling right now.
The sofa and coffee table they were sitting on were both stuck to the ceiling, and the chandelier was not far from Yin Wensi's hand. At some point, the entire space turned upside down, but they still didn't notice anything unusual.
For example, when Vince Yin focused his sight on his nose, he found that it had the red nose of a clown. He did not feel that there was something extra in his sight at all.
Jack pinched the red ball on his nose with his hand and made two "chirp" sounds. He smiled happily.
"Are you saying that we are all in your dream now? Professor?" Yin Vince scratched his head and said very puzzledly: "But like you said, how can the dreams of several people come together?"
"Now that you know the truth about his birth from Alberto, have you ever thought about how the Court of Owls and the old priest created the personality of Alberto?"
"Uh... Alberto didn't tell me about this. He doesn't seem to know his origin. He just appeared out of thin air one day..."
"That's why I said, it starts with you..."
"Let's sort out our thoughts. In the last incident, we learned that the Court of Owls discovered that something called 'wine' appeared underground in Gotham Cathedral. After their research failed, they called in the priest.
The priest researched some results and handed them over to the Court of Owls, and then they created your brother's personality, so what should be the key to this question?"
Vince Yin was not stupid. Just as he was about to answer, Cobot beat him to it and said, "It's that kind of 'fine wine'."
"Yes, when I communicated with the godfather and the priest before, the priest told me that in the church, he has an ability that ordinary people don't have. It is a special ability similar to mind reading, and he can sense some of the other person's spiritual characteristics.
.”
"It is precisely because of this ability that he saw my differences, so he hired me to be your tutor. Yin Wensi, do you understand now?"
"So, that kind of wine can give people the ability to read minds?"
The globe shook his head slightly. In fact, no one could tell whether he really shook his head because the globe kept spinning.
"That kind of wine, or I prefer to call it Dionysian factor, you can understand it as a liquid brainwave amplifier..."
"Brainwave amplifier?" Victor frowned and said, "I have also done some research on the theory of brain waves. I have also heard of the theory of controlling people's minds by interfering with brain waves. But you said, a special kind of
Liquid can amplify people's brain waves, isn't it a bit too..."
"We don't need to decipher its principle, we only need to know its effect. In short, the priest handed over the results of his research on fine wine to the Court of Owls, and the Court of Owls used fine wine to create the personality of Alberto...
"
"So, where is he now?" Vince Yin looked around, and Schiller explained: "The key part of his house is being built, that's why you came here."
"Anyway, after I confirmed this with the priest, I knew that the Dionysian factor might be related to the world of human consciousness."
"And I happened to have several other liquids related to this in my hand. I asked another biology friend to mix them in a certain proportion to achieve an effect of amplifying brain waves to the extreme. I mixed it
It’s called ‘Crazy Wine’.”
"When I first made it, I couldn't be sure whether it was effective, so..." Schiller turned his head to Jack, and Jack shook his head and said, "So, when you were drinking with me, you added it to our wine.
This kind of thing..."
"Then, our two conscious worlds were indeed connected, and there was an annoying guy who ran out of your conscious world and wanted to trick me into your conscious world and go to jail for him."
"Just now, I invited you to my manor and invited you to drink. Everyone added a few drops of this crazy wine to their wine, so now, we are sitting here."
"Welcome to my conscious space, everyone."
In an instant, everyone woke up. Victor recalled how he came to Schiller's manor on a rainy day and took a sip of wine. Cobot and Victor also recalled how they walked in from the moment they entered to taking off their clothes.
Schiller explained the process of taking off his coat and putting away his umbrella: "When you first come in, you will have a period of adaptation. You may not be able to distinguish reality from fiction, so you won't feel anything abnormal."
"Just like when you see an upside-down tall building in a dream, you won't find it strange. From waking to dreaming, it requires a process of adaptation. Of course, if it is up to me to reveal the truth, the speed of adaptation will become faster.
.”
"I understand the truth..." Victor turned to look at Schiller and asked him: "But why do you want to turn your head into a globe?"
Schiller reached out and moved the globe above his head, and then said: "Not only me, you can also change. Although this is my consciousness space, when our brain waves merge together, you are here
There is also a certain degree of autonomy.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jack's head turned into a fried chicken wing with a bang, and a big smiling face appeared on the fried chicken wing. Jack's voice came from the big cracked mouth: "This is what I am going to do tonight."
The food tastes pretty good, but of course it's a little undercooked inside and it's really fishy..."
Vince Yin stared at Jack, who was frying chicken wings next to him, with wide eyes. He could even smell the aroma of fried food coming from it.
"This...what should I do?"
Before he could try it, Victor had a strange-shaped freezing gun in his hand. They looked at the gun in their hands curiously and said, "This is the latest model I had conceived before.
, I haven’t had time to make it yet, I didn’t expect it to be so real.”
"In the conscious space, that is, in dreams, what you can do depends entirely on your imagination, that is, 'what you believe is what you get', and the more detailed you imagine, the more detailed it appears. I think, you
This gun should have been completely conceived, right?”
"Yes, the design was finalized a week ago. So, it can be launched?"
With that said, Victor pulled the trigger and fired an ice pick, and the clown opposite was instantly frozen into ice.
"As long as you believe it can fly, it will naturally fly, just like if a person believes he can fly in a dream, he will really fly."
"Hey, you made my head cold! Don't you know that cold fried chicken is the most disgusting food in the world?!" The big mouth on the head of Jack's Chicken Wings on the opposite side yelled loudly.
Cobot pinched the red ball on his nose, and then with a "pop", the thing on his nose turned into a sharp cone, like the one often worn at parties.
Vince Yin scratched his head and said, "Can I change the color of my hair? I have always wanted dark brown hair like my godfather, but dyeing my hair is too troublesome."
As he was speaking, his hair slowly changed color, from brilliant blond to dark brown. Schiller shook his globe head and said, "I think blond is more suitable for you."
"Is there a mirror?" Yin Wensi turned his head back and forth, as if he wanted to find a mirror object to take a look at his current appearance.
"You just have to 'think' about it."
Vince Yin thought for a moment, and then drew a square frame in the air with his finger. The crooked square frame turned into a mirror and fell down. Vince Yin hurriedly grabbed it, looked at himself and said, "Indeed,
Blonde hair looks better..."
As he spoke, his hair changed back again.
Victor picked up the wine glass in front of him and asked Schiller: "So what are you doing by bringing us into your conscious space?"
"Actually, there's nothing serious to do. I just want you to come and have some fun."
"Looking for fun? Is there anything fun to watch?"
"Just because there is no fun to watch, I have to create some fun. It's not just me. I think Mr. Jack thinks the same way, right?"
Jack turned his head into a toilet brush again, and was fidgeting with the bristles with his fingers, saying: "Gotham without Batman is so boring. If I don't have some fun for myself, I will
Crazy!”
"Okay, then what are you going to do?"
Schiller moved his body to the other side, leaned on the armrest of the sofa, and said: "Now there is a very professional psychologist, my colleague, sitting in the Arkham Psychiatric Hospital.
Yes, I will go over and hand over the work to him..."
"I will have a theoretical discussion with him and then invite him to drink together..."
"You want to drag him here too?"
"No, no, no, this is the auditorium, and he..."
Jack on the opposite side smiled and continued what he said: "He will be an actor, a very bad actor."
