After listening to Schiller's speculation, Batman nodded. Although the evidence was not sufficient, the logic was sound.
"Then the background story of the Pale Knight can be inferred from this." Schiller said while thinking. He was obviously combining the behavior in the Pale Knight comic and the behavioral logic shown so far to speculate on what kind of story he would make up.
Background story.
"He may also be here for a certain case." Batman speculated, "Since he is a lawyer, he may also be here to collect some evidence. It may also be related to the Prowler. He may be here to investigate the Prowler."
To facilitate the production of evidence at a future court hearing."
Schiller shook his head.
"No, I guess the background story he made up is not entirely related to interests." Schiller recalled the comics about the Pale Knight in his mind and said: "You may not believe it, but he is a person who believes in love."
"What?"
"I said he believes in love."
Schiller deliberately stared at Batman's face, and sure enough he didn't miss his gradually cracking expression.
"Do you have any additional information?" Batman couldn't help but ask. He had to admit that the news Schiller had just revealed was indeed quite important, and he was very interested.
"Of course, I do, but what are you going to give me in exchange for it?"
Batman paused for a moment. It turned out that he was waiting for him here. He did still have a trump card that he couldn't use now, but he couldn't hand it over now, so he thought about it and said, "What do you want me to give you in exchange for it?"
"Can I ask you a few questions?"
"cannot."
Batman refused so simply that Schiller was stunned. He put his hand on the table, tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Would you refuse so simply when facing other Schillers?"
Batman really thought about this question seriously, then shook his head and said: "Maybe not, I mean there won't be such a chance, because they don't need to ask me questions, because they will understand themselves out of thin air.
You want to know, don’t you?”
"I understand." Schiller nodded.
Batman didn't know what he understood. Just when he was about to ask, Schiller said: "You are the kind of person who likes to flirt in the interrogation room. Do you want me to talk to you about the horizon at sunset? Or something else."
Coffee brand?”
Batman's last words were blocked directly. He didn't know if Schiller did it on purpose.
But the other feeling Schiller gave him was that he just couldn't see through the mysterious background, just like peeling off layers of human skin, still unable to determine whether he had the heart of a monster.
As for Schiller, who is suspected to be an agent, even his appearance is a bit elusive. His aggressiveness does not have any characteristics of a civilized society. He seems to have never dressed himself up as a gentleman in a suit and leather shoes, but he does not appear to be a spy.
Cold and distant, people usually call this character true temperament.
It's just that Batman has come into contact with too many people with true temperaments, and Clark and Diana can be regarded as the best among them. No matter how they look on the outside, other people in the Justice League always have a fiery and sincere heart.
So he could feel that the true feelings expressed by Schiller were not pure enough, but this impurity seemed to be intentional on his part.
If we elaborate on the difference from other Schillers, it is probably that smart people have already predicted what is under the skin of other Schillers, but some people choose to expose it, while others do not. Batman belongs to the latter.
As for the Schiller in front of him now, the human and monster parts are distributed chaotically, not in an orderly manner from the outside to the inside, as if the two limbs are sewn together, and he has never been stingy with it.
exhibit.
Before you actually reach out and touch, you will never know which part you are touching. It may be a polygonal heart that transfuses blood with sincere words that humans can understand, and you can touch it along the dense white bones that pierce the skin.
What he found were fragile joints just like ordinary people.
It's hard to tell what's real and what's fake, like a rainbow that's been put in a bottle and shaken over and over again. The mixed colors are haggard and ugly, but through the little phantom light left on the inner wall of the bottle, you can get a glimpse of the once gorgeous colors.
the truth.
Batman knows very well that gold mining plots are traps that humans can never avoid. Sometimes the charm of a gold mountain is not even as good as a bit of gold in a mountain of sand.
In addition to the sense of accomplishment that a rare thing brings to people, the most precious thing about gold is that it allows people to attribute the reason for obtaining gold to their own unremitting efforts rather than the luck given by God.
Batman believes that there must be many gold diggers who have paid a bloody price in order to find the glimmer of sincerity in Schiller's soul that is filled with countless traps.
Suddenly, Batman suddenly realized that the thoughts he just had did not seem to be based on judgments based on Schiller's behavior, but were more similar to pure feelings.
The master of psychoanalysis is myself???
This has to mention the social effect opposite to the mirror effect - the antagonist effect. To use an old saying, it is the provocation method.
The specific performance is as follows: when you want to obtain certain information from someone, you must start from the opposite angle and let him have a thinking logic that confronts you, so as to tell the truth.
The difference between these two effects is that the former uses human empathy and focuses on enhancing the atmosphere, while the latter uses human empathy and focuses on showing logic. The former uses sensibility as a sword, and the latter uses rationality as a sword.
Now Batman is sure that this Schiller must be an agent, because these two methods are the most common interrogation methods.
Okay, okay, Batman has lived for so many years, and he has always been the only one to interrogate others. No blind agent dares to interrogate him. Did he meet his opponent today?
"Don't you want to try it?" Batman continued the topic: "The doctor I know is very good at this kind of thing."
"What's the matter?" Schiller asked knowingly.
"I can't find a more precise word to describe it, but if I have to say it, it's probably a kind of mind reading."
"Are you talking about making a wild guess?"
At this moment, Batman heard a loud curse word in his heart. This reaction was so instinctive that he had no time to control it. Fortunately, he did not say it out loud.
But after he came to his senses, he still couldn't help but think about what Schiller had just said. He said that other aspects of his own psychoanalysis were just guesswork?!
Before he could say anything, Bruce started howling in his inner world. The content could be summarized as "Heaven, earth, which angel sister gave me such a tone?!"
Pride has given up cutting his cigar.
"You think that's a wild guess?" Batman asked.
Batman's reason told him not to discuss this issue with Schiller, otherwise he would become one of the gold diggers, essentially looking for that golden light in the sand, but he really couldn't control it.
Because Batman really studied Schiller's psychoanalytic talent, but of course he didn't come up with anything at all. This is unacceptable for a genius scientist.
To put it more exaggeratedly, his mentality at the moment can probably be summarized as "Ask the heavens to defend the loyal and the traitor!" or "What did I say? What did I say?!"
"I think partly yes." Schiller replied: "I don't think any reasonable person should adopt these baseless statements. I know they may sound right, but there are too many correct things in this world.
Too much, not everything is a good thing.”
"for example?"
"Like every world war."
It makes so damn sense, Batman thought, if this hadn't come out of your mouth, I would have felt like I had met a normal person.
This is a rather rare conclusion. After all, in Batman's eyes, even Clark is not a normal person.
Schiller leaned forward again, looked Batman in the eyes and said, "You're not the one who would buy into this nonsense, are you?"
Batman's lips moved. He was thinking about whether he had ever been dispatched just because of Schiller's analysis without any conclusive evidence. After going through it in his mind, he found that there shouldn't be.
Then he made his most confident head-shaking move this year.
"That's good." Schiller said, "I think we should be able to chat very well. In that case, I can tell you something."
"About psychoanalysis?"
Schiller gave him a strange look and said: "About the Pale Knight, he is a person who believes in love."
"Because he would choose to embrace the fog in the forest on a rainy day?"
"Because it was Harley Quinn who saved him! The two of them have a good relationship! Batman...Batman?!"
When Batman came back to his senses, he found that Schiller was looking at him with disapproval.
It's really time to get that nonsense out of your head, Batman thought.
He believed that the main reason for his frequent distractions was that if Schiller was a madman, he would naturally look like a normal person, but if Schiller looked too much like a normal person, he would inevitably look like a madman.
Batman doesn't encounter this kind of situation very often, because there are not more normal people than him in all the universes put together.
More importantly, among the thousands of assumptions he made, this normal person should not be Schiller.
Schiller said somewhat helplessly: "Okay, maybe you don't particularly want to talk about marriage, so let's change the idea. When the Pale Knight made up the story, he didn't know what story Greed made up, so there is no such thing in his story.
Maybe some medical insurance company.”
"Even if he did make up a case that he had to come here, he couldn't be so smart that he wanted to go with Greed. If the Beyonder wanted to connect all of our stories, he would choose to do it in the context of the Pale Knight.
The story avoids the important and ignores the light.”
"The best choice is to put the case he made up that has nothing to do with the main plot far away. If you put aside the specific incident, the only thing that can bring him into the main plot is the emotional line."
"This seems to have nothing to do with the Pale Knight's personal choice, but if he learns about it from certain channels, he will not choose to bring the case he made up back to the main line, but will be more likely to follow the trick."
"Because not only is he the only one among all the clowns who understands love, he may also be the only one among them who understands love."
