Selina put down the phone helplessly and turned to look at Bruce, who was lying on the back of the chair next to her.
"I don't understand. You're not really sunburned, and we're all ready. Why should you delay going to the banquet?"
Bruce snapped his fingers, closed his eyes and said, "I knew without even looking that Pamela had definitely gone to Rodriguez Manor in advance."
"so what?"
Bruce sighed deeply, raised his eyes and looked at Selina and said: "You will never imagine how crazy a woman who is motivated by sex, filled with lust, and possessed by evil spirits can be."
"You mean Xiaopa?" Selina tilted her head in confusion and said, "I think you are a little biased against her, just because she likes women?"
"That's definitely not prejudice, and she doesn't just like women. Didn't you notice? She has the typical characteristics of a psychopathic obsessive."
Selena shivered, looked around, rubbed her arms and said, "Psychopath, where is the psychopath?"
Bruce stood up and put his arms around Selena's waist. She had already changed into the dress for the banquet. She was wearing a champagne gold deep V dress with diamonds, which almost blended with her skin color, like a bright sunset.
The sea is draped over you.
Bruce put his chin on Selena's shoulder, leaned against her neck and said, "Have you never felt anything special about me?"
"Special? What is special? Does being extra pretentious count as special? Young Master."
Bruce laughed lowly, put his arm around Selina's waist and said, "Pamela has thoughts about both of us... Don't be impatient, put your claws back first and listen to me."
"She treats you...of course, because of your beauty, because you happen to be in her orientation. You are charming, mysterious and charming. You are completely her ideal type."
"But she is also interested in me, not entirely because of my appearance. She likes madmen, especially madmen with high IQ, ruthlessness and charm."
"You said she likes you?" Selina turned her head slightly and looked sideways at Bruce.
"To be precise, she admires you, but she has a morbid obsession with me."
Bruce gently licked the corner of his mouth and said, "We met after she was cured. I found that she was a little too excited. I guessed that this might be the sudden burst of her previously suppressed desires, which caused some changes in her mental state.
question."
"But what does that have to do with our delay in getting to the banquet?"
"Does my description of the madman remind you of a person?"
"Who?...Professor Schiller?"
"Yes, compared to him, I am considered a normal person, and Schiller has a very unique charm for psychopaths and those who are obsessed with psychopaths. He can be called a powerful magnet."
"As long as you have the slightest curiosity or interest in him, it will be difficult not to be attracted to him. Once you take the bait, you will inevitably pay a huge price, usually bleeding."
"Pamela would be attracted?"
"I'm afraid it must be so." Bruce nodded and sighed softly and said: "The person who cured her was Schiller. I suspect that Schiller erased the memory of her treatment process just to make her curious about it. This
It’s a bait that’s almost impossible not to bite.”
"Judging from Pamela's behavior, she must have taken the bait, so she will definitely go to Rodriguez Manor in advance."
Selena was a little surprised and said: "What does she want to do?"
"She is probably not stupid enough to attack Professor Schiller, but it is difficult to say whether she will do anything else. In this state of excitement and madness, she will at least use some irrational words to provoke."
"Why?"
"Gaining the attention of a psychopath puts you in a victim position."
"What's the point?"
"It makes no sense." Bruce shook his head.
Selena narrowed her eyes and said: "Is it meaningless, or can't you tell? This should have something to do with Pamela's personality and character, right? Where have you learned about psychology?"
"Don't talk about it. In short, I will not charge into the line of fire. You must know that the person hosting this party is not the familiar Professor Schiller. So far, no one knows how many tricks Schiller has. I can
I don’t want to get in trouble with him.”
Pamela was still staring at Schiller's master bedroom.
Lex lowered his head and glanced at his watch and said, "The banquet will start in an hour. In half an hour, Cobot will be in the front hall. I estimate that his car will arrive in 20 minutes."
His original intention was to remind Pamela that the guests were coming soon, and even if she wanted to cause trouble, she should not choose it at this time.
But Pamela didn't care. She gently raised a hand, and a thin vine climbed up the outer wall of the manor to the balcony of the master bedroom.
Lex was too lazy to stop her anymore. Anyway, if something happened, she would be the one who offended Schiller. As a bystander, he might be able to get more useful information.
The vines continued to extend forward along the bottom frame of the balcony door, but they still did not raise their heads, just circling around the door frame like a greedy snake.
"That kind of cold power is very strong." Pamela sniffed and said, "I feel that the vines are almost frozen by it. She must have lost a lot of blood."
"Is she powerful?"
"Maybe." Pamela frowned slightly and said, "I firmly believe that beauty, straightforwardness and enthusiasm cannot attract Schiller, because there are too many such people around him, she must be special."
"You think what makes her special is that she's powerful?"
"At least that's why...Schiller was sorting out his clothes."
"Do you feel like a bit of a voyeur?"
"Do you think he won't notice me?"
Lex was speechless by Pamela. He shook his head and said, "I think you should calm down a little now. Don't you think you are too excited?"
Pamela licked her lips and said, "I'm just letting my nature go. If you set preset rules and bottom lines for every game, there would be no fun at all."
"But I must remind you." Lex lowered his eyes, and his tone became more cautious and said: "My previous speculation about Schiller's past was not without purpose. Again, he is different from those straightforward and passionate ladies you mentioned.
I'm afraid the romantic past that I had had was very different from what you thought."
"Do you think he has special hobbies? Coincidentally, I do too."
"I don't think that can be called a special hobby." Lex's Adam's apple rolled up and down and said: "I saw some dangerous factors behind his human skin that could easily get out of control."
"As I told you before about people like Clark Kent, even if he can control everything very well when he is awake, there are always various situations that will make him lose control."
"But Schiller is human."
"Yes, but he is not an ordinary human being."
Pamela laughed. She turned around and stared at Lex with her bright eyes and said, "It's just that you never regarded him as an ordinary person. The past and present he showed you were always full of all kinds of extraordinary things with metaphors."
, which makes you fearful and cautious, but usually this attitude of yours only arises when dealing with dangerous beasts."
"And I just treat him as an ordinary human being. I am interested in him, want to explore his secrets, get feedback from him, and even use him to satisfy my own desires. Is there anything unreasonable in this?
Aren’t ordinary people like this?”
"And most importantly, which of these two attitudes do you think he would be more annoyed by?"
Lex was stunned.
He had also thought before that if he really regarded Schiller as an ordinary person, whether the way they get along would be more different. After confirming this plan, he believed that he had always insisted on executing it.
But now he finds that this is actually very difficult, because Schiller's pressure is too strong, and the dangerous characteristics revealed in him constantly force Lex to activate defense mode.
So everything goes back to the cycle. If you are attracted by danger but are afraid of danger, you can only tighten your nerves and be cautious. But this is not the way to treat another ordinary person with an ordinary person's attitude. People are always more accustomed to it.
Relax in the presence of people you know well.
Lex also felt the same way about Schiller expressing his somewhat nervous emotions. He believed that showing some weakness in emotional expression was an opportunity to give comfort to the other party, which would make their emotional exchange process more normal.
But in fact, this was all his design, not his real feelings. It was too difficult to completely relax in front of Schiller.
Damn it, how on earth did Bruce Wayne sleep through half of Schiller's class?
And how did Pamela dare to rush forward fearlessly even though she knew the opponent was so dangerous?
From a behavioral point of view, their behavior is normal, and he seems to be a madman with persecution delusions, but no matter how Lex's reason and intuition judge, he will think that they are crazy.
Schiller came out from the balcony.
When he held on to the balcony railing and looked down, Lex's whole body tensed up, but the vine that had been lingering on the balcony door frame quietly wrapped around Schiller's ankle.
"Gentlemen and ladies, go and check your outfits for the final time. Lex will go back to the room to wait, and Pamela will go to the foyer."
The vines retracted with a swish, and Pamela obviously got the answer she wanted. Lex was still frowning. Shouldn't he be the protagonist today?
But after Schiller finished speaking, he returned to his bedroom. Pamela walked towards the front hall, and Lex had no choice but to follow her back to the room and wait.
Cobot arrived soon.
He was in high spirits when he got out of the car and walked towards Rodriguez Manor. He first walked towards Alberto's room, and after coming out, he knocked on the door of Lex's room.
"Good evening, Mr. Cobblet, you came earlier than I thought." Lex nodded toward Cobblet.
Cobot smiled. Although his aquiline nose still made him look a little gloomy when he was not expressing, but as the so-called red aura nourishes people, when he smiled, he did not reveal the humility and flattery as before.
But it brings a bit of sincerity.
"The first batch of guests from other universes have arrived at the Wayne Hotel. They will arrive soon, but I'm afraid you have to wait in the room until all the guests arrive, and then Professor Rodriguez will introduce them to everyone."
"I understand." Lex nodded and said, "Will visitors from other universes be the first to arrive?"
"It depends on whether they have anticipated the traffic conditions in Gotham, but it won't be much different."
"Tony Stark, how long are you going to clean up?!!!" Natasha's roar resounded in the corridor of the Wayne Hotel, followed by banging on the door, "I told you
How many times have you told me, this city called Gotham is more congested than New York, if we don’t go out early, we will probably be late!!!”
"Stop yelling!" Stark's impatient but somewhat guilty voice came from the door. He said: "There is something wrong with my micro B-ultrasound machine. Give me another ten minutes! I have to be sure to travel through the universe.
