The moment they saw the huge broccoli, the three of them froze there. The one who couldn't understand the current situation the most was Zatanna. She even ran towards the broccoli in disbelief.
This huge broccoli is like the world tree in many literary and artistic works. It blocks out the sky and has luxuriant branches. When you get closer, the extremely thick stem may not be able to be hugged by hundreds of people.
.
Zatanna really couldn't think of any way to determine whether this was real broccoli. She could only go up and smell it, and then showed a disgusted expression. She coughed twice, took two steps back and said
: "That's right, it's broccoli. Ever since I was a kid, whenever this thing appeared on the dining table, my dad would do his best to persuade me to eat it..."
Constantine, who was most seriously injured, also staggered over. He said: "How to describe it? It can only be said to be reasonable and unexpected. I once heard Schiller's friend Victor say it.
, when they went to the restaurant for dinner, Schiller rushed into the kitchen and shot the broccoli..."
Zatanna raised her eyebrows in confusion and said, "That's not true. Although broccoli is very unpleasant to eat and I haven't liked eating it since I was a child, it's not like you would shoot at a vegetable, right?"
Constantine shrugged and said, "You've been away from Gotham for too long."
Batman stood there and regained his strength, then walked forward and looked up at the branch of the broccoli.
He actually doesn't hate eating broccoli. Batman has never been a picky eater, but he knows that theoretically speaking, some people hate eating certain vegetables. It may not be just because they are picky. Human genes are amazing, and even
It has been refined to the point that when they eat certain vegetables, they will have different tastes.
"Schiller once mentioned that he had a severe broccoli allergy. I don't know whether his allergy was psychological or physical. If it was physical, it would make sense.
"Batman said.
Zatanna was a little weak and wanted to find a place to lean on, but the impact of this broccoli on her was also great. She used her last strength to stay away from the trunk of the broccoli, and then sat on the ground.
, sighed and said: "Do we really have to use a vegetable to deal with this professor? We can't throw broccoli at him, right?"
Zatanna imagined the scene, showed a disgusted expression, and then said: "Oh my God, I don't think I can do this. This is so wicked. Throwing broccoli at others? God, what if
If someone did this to me, I would go crazy!"
"I'm afraid someone has actually done this." Batman spoke up. The other two people looked at him and said, "Do you still remember the 'special measures' written in the medical records?"
Batman took out the cookie box again, then turned out the medical records, pointed at it and said, "Look here, whenever Schiller gets sick, it will be mentioned in the medical records that targeted measures should be taken..."
"If Schiller's strength is really 2 to 3 times that of mine, as Constantine said, then it is almost impossible for ordinary people to subdue him without hurting him, but as long as targeted measures are taken every time
, the next step immediately is to take him back to the observation room for observation."
"Don't tell me that this kind of targeted measure is broccoli??" Constantine showed a ridiculous expression and said: "Are they holding a lot of broccoli in a circle to ensure that Schiller
You can’t move, can you?!”
"It's hard to say." Batman imagined the scene for a moment, then turned the corners of his mouth downwards, as if trying to suppress his other expressions.
"But not every Schiller is afraid of broccoli. When Victor and Schiller ate together, he also saw him eating broccoli. This shows that he is very likely not afraid of broccoli.
Flower personality." Batman said with a slight frown.
"Wait a minute, if we see in this answer room that the thing he fears most is broccoli, and he has other personalities that are not afraid of broccoli, wouldn't that mean that we have been in one of his personalities?
Spinning?" Zatanna got up from the ground again, then frowned and said, "How is this possible? Aren't we traveling and jumping in memories?"
"You have never actually entered the thinking tower, so you don't know the structure there. The thinking tower has many floors, and the only way to pass between the many floors is by elevator. Without the permission of the elevator administrator, there is no way to cross floors.
." Batman knows this very well.
Just as Zatanna was about to speak, they heard a familiar voice suddenly echo in the air: "Why are you here??!!"
"What are you doing here... Oh my god! Come out! Get out of that room! How can you get so close to that broccoli?!!!"
Hearing the familiar voice of Professor Schiller, Batman not only did not stay away from the broccoli as he said, but instead rushed to the thick trunk of the broccoli at lightning speed and cut it
He leaned his back tightly on the broccoli.
Sure enough, the next second, Schiller's figure appeared in this space. He was wearing a suit and holding an umbrella. He looked at the three people standing next to the broccoli with a confused expression.
"Why are you here? I felt that the uninvited guests who broke into my room were you?!"
But Constantine was even more shocked than him. He said: "Shouldn't you be fighting with the Green of All Things? Why are you here?!!"
Unexpectedly, Schiller's face immediately darkened, and as the two parties looked at each other from a distance, time began to go backwards.
Just like a movie where the arrow is pressed backwards, the figures of the three detectives exited the room, flew backwards during the shuttle, returned to three different memory spaces, and then returned to the spiritual world.
Just before the three of them went to Schiller's soul, Schiller was indeed confronting the Green of All Things.
He stood in the center of the green chamber, in front of Pamela, holding an umbrella and said to the green of all things: "So it's you. I didn't expect that this is the first decent opponent I've encountered in this time.
, turned out to be the incarnation of plants..."
"I guess you went through such a big circle just to force Pamela."
"First, he used rainwater to poison Gotham, causing the illusion of plant mutation, and then he personally concocted the story that his classmates abandoned Pamela and even wanted to use her as bait."
"From this incident, we can see how ugly human nature is. Yan Yan's classmates who usually talk and laugh, not only did not save her at the critical moment, but even killed her. However, the usually taciturn plant was unwilling to hurt her.
, comparing the two, who would an ordinary college girl choose?"
"You wanted to use this comparison to break through Pamela's psychological defense and make her voluntarily become your agent. Unexpectedly, she still did not choose you, so you had to forge memories in his memory space and deceive her.
She signed the contract."
After hearing these words, the green of all things felt a very obvious feeling of doubt. It seemed that the opposite person was not one consciousness, but many consciousnesses integrated together. At this time, Schiller heard a slight voice coming from his ear.
Female voice with doubtful emotion: "...What are you talking about?"
"I can only say that you are very good at taking advantage of human weaknesses. If Pamela was really an ordinary female college student, you would have succeeded long ago."
"No." The Green of All Things said: "I mean, what you just said... that plan, what is it? What do you mean I use rainwater to infect humans and plants, and then what, what kind of incident does it cause?
"
"The way you deny it is really very low-level." Schiller stared at the vines in front of Wan and said, "It's useless to pretend not to know. Let's take a good look at the curse on you."
The mood coming from the green of all things became even more confusing. This was not because he was pretending, but because he was really confused. The fact was that he did not concoct any conspiracy, he was just passing by and wanted to take advantage of it.
The Green of All Things has indeed targeted Pamela very early on, but Pamela is not the only choice. The Green of All Things consists of many forces, such as the Tree Council and the May Queen, and this time it is targeting Pamela.
It was the May Queen who was in charge of the vines who went up to Pamela.
The May Queen doesn't only have Pamela to choose from. Their principle in selecting agents is to cast a wide net to catch more fish, select multiple targets to train together, and then choose the best agent among them.
The reason why the May Queen is said to be passing by is because when the plants in Gotham City began to mutate, the May Queen was the first to notice it.
The May Queen originally just wanted to take a look and see what was going on, but she found that an agent she had chosen was in a dangerous situation.
The May Queen is not a human being, and she has no sympathy for humans, but she is very optimistic about Pamela's potential and does not want to lose an agent candidate, so she controls the vines and saves Pamela.
He came to her spiritual world and wanted to make a contract with Pamela.
To put it simply, the May Queen came to pick up ready-made products. She simply bumped into Pamela who was in poor condition. After coming to the spiritual world, she found that Pamela's qualifications were better than she thought. She thought on the spot
He decided to let her join the job, but unexpectedly, she encountered resistance from Pamela.
The May Queen didn't quite understand the tricks humans used to lure him, and she didn't think an ordinary human could resist his will. Therefore, the method she adopted was more like kidnapping than recruitment.
But all this, in Schiller's view, is too much like a conspiracy. As he once said, he doesn't know if the other party is so despicable, but he is.
Schiller is accustomed to taking advantage of human psychological weaknesses to set up traps for the opponent. Therefore, after watching this series of events from the perspective of a bystander, he will certainly feel that the culprit is the green of all things.
Because, if he brings himself into the green of all things, and wants to force Pamela to become his spokesperson, what exactly is he going to do?
For humans, trust and security are particularly important emotional supports. If you want to make Pamela completely fall in love with plants, you must first break her trust in humans and make her feel unsafe in human society.
feel.
Then, she replaces the sense of security she gets from her own kind with another kind of spiritual support, which is the plant that protects her in critical moments.
In Schiller's view, the logic of this setup is very smooth, and he would do the same thing.
And the motive is very clear. Schiller knows that in the comics, All Green once wanted Poison Ivy Pamela to become his new agent, but Pamela refused.
This fact can illustrate two things. First, Pamela does have the potential to become the spokesperson of All Green, and All Green is also very optimistic about her.
The second is that if the candidate refuses very firmly, then Green of All Things cannot take too strong measures and cannot forcefully control the other party.
In this way, there is a motive. The Green of All Things must have set up a trap because Pamela has been unwilling to be his agent, using polluted rainwater and seemingly mutated plants to put Pamela into danger.
, using psychological warfare to make her collapse.
In short, Schiller acted as himself and felt that this plan to make a plate of dumplings for a plate of vinegar was very normal.
But the May Queen was confused. She was just passing by and wanted to get a bargain. How could she become the culprit?
