Batman discovered that the Schiller in front of him seemed different from most Schillers.
He had known a long time ago that this doctor from other universes had a very strange existence and had many different personality traits. The differences between them were even greater than the differences between people.
But the new personality traits that appeared in front of him this time still refreshed his views again.
In the past, those personality traits that seemed quite different could always find something in common, and always had a special mysterious undertone that was elusive. Therefore, no matter how different they appeared, people could still feel it.
They are the same person.
But the Schiller in front of him does not seem to have that mysterious quality. It may be that he is hiding it and acting like this deliberately, or it is possible that he is indeed different from other Schillers.
Batman doesn't know the answer, but he realizes he might be in some trouble because Schiller is now very interested in him.
Although Batman considers Schiller a friend and usually enjoys working with him, he must admit that arousing Schiller's interest is not a good thing.
A madman's love and hatred are dangerous, but the most dangerous ones are curiosity and desire to explore. Batman understands this better than anyone.
Batman knows that in the process of his acquaintance with Pride, he has almost never aroused Pride's real interest, because Pride always has some understanding of him beyond the facts and seems to be sure that he will not have anything new.
This is also true. Batman has never shown anything approaching a puzzle in the face of arrogance. He remains the same as always, never abnormal, and his logic and style of doing things do not change depending on whether he knows Schiller or not.
Batman has never been a surprise. He is not the kind of gift that is packed in a gift box and will jump out at any time to make people exclaim. His friends also feel that there is no need to explore and explore him. This is Batman's intention.
for it.
He was already tired of saving the world, and he had no more energy to deal with the constant exploration and testing of those around him. He simply made them feel that he was inflexible and had always been the same. This way he could avoid a lot of meaningless social interactions.
It's just that this time he made a mistake. After he said those words to this new Schiller, it obviously aroused his interest. The other party seemed eager to find out something. The fiery eyes reminded Batman of
Lasers emitted from Clark's eyes.
Of course, it also reminded Batman of some particularly difficult agents he had dealt with.
When the word "agent" appeared in Batman's mind, he immediately nailed it with a pin on the felt board marking important things. He was very suspicious that this new personality trait might have been engaged in the work of an agent.
Work.
What is the most important thing about an agent?
Some people think it is a cautious character, some people think it is superb martial arts, and some people think it is reasoning skills similar to detectives, or unselfish interrogation skills.
But Batman knows very well that for an agent, the most important thing is an approachable temperament.
This allows agents to lean on their cars and chat with neighbors about today's weather, strike up conversations with waiters in cafes, chat with mall security guards in parking spaces, or knock on doors in any community house in the name of sales.
door.
Although it is true that there are many agents who specialize in the upper class and attract others with their unique charm and beauty, such as the famous black widow Natasha, these agents are in the minority after all, and most of the agents’ intelligence comes from those who watch.
He seems to be an ordinary person who is neither popular nor conspicuous.
Because ordinary people are unprepared, but they are everywhere, equivalent to countless cameras that are easily hacked. There is no need to interrogate at all. A lot of useful information can be obtained by just saying a few sentences. As long as you can get along with ordinary people,
There is almost no information that cannot be obtained.
Batman felt such an aura in this Schiller. He was not as repellent as other Schillers. If you look closely, there are always some things that you can't see clearly.
He seems to be clear and understanding, and can see the whole thing at a glance. He doesn't even hide his inquiring emotions. People with such exposed emotions always make people feel easy to deal with.
There is a theory of "looking in the mirror" in social interaction, that is, the person you are socializing with will imitate your behavior unconsciously. If you are rational, they will be rational, and if you are emotional, they will be emotional.
The basis of this theory is based on the imitation behavior of the same kind in the social nature of human beings. That is, in order to integrate into the group, human beings will instinctively imitate other individuals to make themselves more like a member of the group.
On this basis, when you want to get something from someone, you can take the initiative to express yourself in that direction at the beginning of social interaction. This will guide the other person to imitate you unconsciously, so that you can get what you want.
For example, if you want to know what sad things the other person has recently, you must first act sensitive and vulnerable, and bring the conversation into an emotional atmosphere, so that you can gradually bring out the sad things of the other person.
Batman felt that Schiller was taking advantage of this principle, or that he had deliberately shaped himself like this to facilitate his acquisition of information. He didn't know how many people he had led into the ditch.
Batman doesn't think he will be one of them, because in fact, he is surrounded by such people in his daily life, but they are not pretending, but are really very emotional. The representative person is Clark Kent.
Through accumulated training over time, Batman has become very good at immune to such looks - as long as he doesn't look at Schiller's appearance.
It was so weird to look at Clark in front of the doctor's face, and Batman almost wanted to end the conversation.
But reason told him that he couldn't do it, because there were still many things that had not been analyzed, and now their situation was at a disadvantage. If they did not take this opportunity to formulate a feasible course of action, it would be difficult to make a comeback.
Batman turned back, but still didn't look into Schiller's eyes. He just stared at the end of the video on the computer screen and said: "The Joker is not a madman. He shot this video and left it to me, although it was also for me to witness."
It was a tragedy, but the ultimate goal was more than that."
Schiller withdrew his eyes, nodded and said: "Indeed, if it is just to disgust you, there is no need to go to such trouble. He probably wants to tell you through this video that there is something wrong with Jenny."
"And I want to know what you originally thought when you made up the story about the Hef family, and what do you want to do with this family's story?"
"You are still so to the point." Batman finally returned to a familiar rhythm, and he continued: "Originally, there were only two important figures in the Hef family, and that was Hef himself and his eldest son's marriage partner."
"That woman?" Schiller frowned and said, "What's so special about her?"
"She is an outsider." Batman said: "And she is not from a nearby town, but from a big city. She is highly educated and has a clear understanding of the situation in the entire world."
"I understand, you hope to understand the world through her, but how can you be sure that she will tell you?"
"Remember? In my setting, I also lived in a big city and had a pretty extraordinary past."
"You made that woman one of your old friends?"
"Yes, I guess Greed has the same purpose in setting Madeline. We can make up our own backstory, but after all we can't understand what others have made up, so we all need to have a portal to understand the settings of the entire world, Dolly
That's the kind of role Silk and Madeleine play."
"Her name is Doris?"
"Yes."
"But how do you arrange for her to marry Hef's eldest son in a reasonable way? There shouldn't be any overlap between their two classes, right?"
"Doris is also a person with a story. She was a fairly famous lawyer, but she offended a big shot in a certain case and had to escape to a cruise ship. At that time, Hef's eldest son was working as a pawn on the cruise ship.
Sailor, he saved her life, and the two of them were united."
"In other words, Doris married into this village to avoid disaster."
"Yes, they may have some feelings, but more often than not they each get what they need."
Schiller thought about the death of Doris. Everyone else in the Hef family could clearly see the artificial wounds. Only Doris's filaments looked strange, and her abdomen seemed to be from the inside out.
Explosive.
The fish in her stomach are also very unusual, proving that she is also one of Siltek's experiments. It seems that the Beyonder connected the story made by Batman and Greed.
"Did you only assume that Doris offended someone, but not who specifically she offended?" Schiller asked.
Batman obviously thought of the same thing as him. He nodded and said: "Yes, time was limited at that time. I can only talk about the key points. The details cannot be set perfectly, so I suspect that the game controller may have passed
The story of greed completes the details of Doris’ story.”
"That is to say, the big city where Doris is located may also be in Connecticut, and she may be the person who offended Siltec Medical Insurance Co., Ltd." Schiller murmured to himself, lost in thought.
"She may have connected all of our stories together." Batman made a bolder hypothesis. He said: "Let each story be related to each other, and finally string it together into a complete clue."
Suddenly Schiller had an idea. He stared at Batman closely and said, "You said Doris is a lawyer???"
Batman nodded.
"If she offended someone because of a case, Silturk to be precise, do you think it was Madeleine's case?"
Batman also instantly connected all the clues in his mind. He said: "That strange clown is also a lawyer. Could he also know Doris?"
The two of them looked at each other and almost simultaneously caught the butterfly that was fleeting in the storm.
"Many years ago, Madeleine was living in poverty because her family was murdered but she failed to receive insurance compensation from Siltec Medical Insurance Company. After she went to college, she began to explore the truth of the case and wanted to solve the problem.
Siltec Health Insurance Company pays the price.”
"But she is not a legal professional, and only professional lawyers can understand the regulations of most medical insurance companies in the United States. She must seek legal help. At this time, she approached Doris's legal team, hoping to cooperate with them.
, bring down this behemoth.”
"Doris accepted her commission, but discovered the ulterior secrets of Siltec Medical Company during the investigation. In the process, she sought help from a lawyer colleague played by Pale Knight, but in the end she was unable to
I couldn’t resist the pressure exerted by the medical giants and had to flee temporarily.”
"Then she met the eldest son of the Hef family on a cruise ship, and they came to this little-known village with her, hoping that the life here could take her away from the shadow of the past."
"But Madeline, who still hasn't given up hope, followed the clues from the past investigation and came here, hoping to collect more evidence to expose Siltek or simply teach them a lesson here."
"And the Pale Knight, who has been exposed to this case, also came here out of interest in this case, or simply in Doris as a person..."
