When Lex and Copper met and looked at each other, they suddenly had a hunch that the other person might be very similar to themselves.
This similarity does not refer to life background or resources under control, but to similarities in spirit and personality. In other words, they are both born perverts.
There are many similarities between people with antisocial personality. The cold, cruel and violent temperament cannot be concealed by any type of appearance. When two murderers meet together, they can always be the first to show off.
Find resonance in each other's souls.
To a certain extent, this kind of people can be said to be the opposite of the theory of good nature. Many of them do not become perverted because of childhood trauma or psychological shadow. They are born this way and cannot be saved.
Cobot has been doing pretty well recently. He has become Alberto's right-hand man, and his status among the twelve families has been rising. It is foreseeable that when Alberto really becomes the next godfather, Cobot will
His surname can be engraved on the twelve families.
In terms of emotions, he is very familiar with the group of people in the vocational school, and he has recruited all the children in Gotham to satisfy his desire for power. At the same time, he can learn from Victor, who is like his
Like a father, he is constantly guiding and educating him.
But as mentioned before, Cobot gained a better life, had teachers and friends, and had a foreseeable bright future. However, he did not become a sunny and lively person because of this. He was still gloomy.
, indifference, lack of sympathy for others, and the ability to derive pleasure from violence and controlling others.
This kind of personality does not change with changes in the external environment. If it is outside Gotham, his best destination is a mental hospital, but in Gotham, this disease cannot be treated and does not need to be treated, or in other words
It's just a simple antisocial personality, but he is already a model patient.
After the two of them were stunned for a moment, they both turned away and stopped looking at each other. At this time, Victor walked out of another room and saw the two of them standing there. He first stepped forward and took Cobot's hand.
He took the pile of documents in his hand and patted Lex on the shoulder again.
Lex followed him into the inner room, while Cobot continued to prepare experimental supplies outside. He turned his head to look at the door from time to time. Through the frosted glass, he could see Victor and Lex face to face.
Sitting there, Victor seemed to be asking Lex some questions, and Lex answered them very smoothly.
When the two came out, Victor seemed to be in a good mood. He introduced Copot: "This is Lex Luthor. He will also be an assistant in the laboratory in the future. After 5 o'clock in the evening, he needs to borrow
The laboratory conducts independent experiments, so remember not to lock the door."
Cobot rarely turned his head to look at Victor, but nodded while busy with what he was doing.
He quickly finished organizing the utensils, then turned around and walked out of the door to leave. Victor followed him, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Don't be sad, Cobot, I won't let you conduct independent experiments because you are now
She is too young, even younger than him."
"I don't know what's wrong with you guys. Teenagers are planning to conduct such dangerous experiments. When I was your age, I only knew how to read science magazines or burn my dad's tires with fire.
"
"Don't be too anxious, kid. You should study step by step, pass the high school entrance examination, and then the college entrance examination. When you go to college, you will have plenty of time to do experiments."
"It takes time for water to freeze into ice, and it's the same for people to grow."
Cobot pursed his lips and said, "No, I'm not jealous of him, it's just..."
Cobot shook his head. He didn't know how to explain his intuition to Victor. Facing Victor, he was always shy to reveal his past. For example, he was once the godfather's killer. For example, he had killed many people.
People, for example, are still killing people.
Whenever he enters normal life, Cobot feels repulsed by his perverted desire to stay outside society, but whenever he takes action, he can't control himself and can't quit.
This pleasure of persecuting and controlling others.
He couldn't tell Victor, because he was this kind of person, so he could keenly feel that the other person was also this kind of person, and he couldn't use his dark history as evidence to remind Victor.
He took a deep breath, finally shook his head, said nothing, and slowly left along the corridor.
The sky gradually darkened. After Victor finished his work, he said to Lex, who was standing in front of the experimental table sorting out the information: "Thank you for your help. Now is your free time. Everything you want is here."
Get ready, remember to pay attention to safety, I'm leaving first."
"Thank you." Lex smiled at Victor, and Victor shook his head slightly, turned and left.
After Victor left, as the sky became darker and darker, Lex concentrated on his experiments. He was preparing a chemical agent to be fired into the sky to disperse rain clouds.
He first needs to prepare the cannonball, and then prepare the launching device, so now he is conducting chemical experiments first, and the subsequent mechanical manufacturing will be carried out in another laboratory.
Preparing chemical preparations is an activity that requires great concentration. He must constantly observe the reaction and not be distracted for a moment. Lex stared at the reaction in the test tube intently. The cold light of the laboratory shone on his face through the glass of the test tube, leaving a trace of
The scar of the next light.
Suddenly, the shadow blocked part of the light, and Lex suddenly dodged to the side. A sharp knife cut his upper arm and blood spurted out.
The test tube was thrown away, and the reagent inside spilled onto the ground. When it came into contact with the ground, it made a soft sizzling sound and a wisp of smoke came out.
With a "click" sound, the entire laboratory fell into darkness. Lex gritted his teeth and turned back. An extremely gloomy face appeared in the darkness. That was Cobot.
When he appeared during the day, he just looked a little gloomy, but when night came, his dark and crazy temperament reached its peak. He was like a penguin jumping from the glacier surface into the water, changing from slow to fast, from prey to prey.
Become a predator.
"Are you crazy?! Cobot!!!" Lex shouted: "We just met today, no grudges!"
"It seems that you don't have a correct understanding of your mental condition." Cobot said in a hoarse voice: "But I just saw a psychiatrist not long ago, and he told me that I am a madman."
Cobot held the knife and approached Lex. Lex stepped back, staring at his gloomy and twisted face. Cobot continued:
"More than that, he told me that if one day I meet someone who looks like me, then he must also be a madman."
"We are the same kind of people, born killers who cannot be cured, so I must kill you."
Lex felt that Cobot was simply unreasonable. He said: "Why do you call me a murderer? I have never even killed anyone!"
"One day, you will." Although Cobot's figure is thin, the knife in his hand is shining with cold light. It can be seen from his posture that this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing. , knows how to use posture to put pressure on the other party.
Lex gritted his teeth and said: "Sure enough, Gotham people are all madmen! Don't you need a reason to kill people?!"
"I said, because we are the same people, I must kill you."
Lex no longer knows what to say. Maybe this reflects the difference between Metropolis and Gotham.
All the villains in Metropolis commit crimes for a reason, either for profit, hatred, or love and pursuit, but they still use ordinary people's logic to commit crimes.
But that's not the case in Gotham. The lunatics in Gotham might kill someone because they had a piece of steak they liked this morning, or because of some crazy hallucinations and unfounded intuitions.
Many people may think that it is a crazy performance to create hatred out of love and then break through the bottom line of law and morality, but in fact it is not the case. When a person's emotions, the driving force generated by the emotion, and the driving force generated When the behavior can be perfectly connected in a line, it means that he is still logical and not crazy.
Real lunatics, whose emotional drive has absolutely nothing to do with their actions, are like the difference between Lex and Cobblepot.
Because Lex does not agree with Clark's views, he feels that he hates him very much, and will go to find trouble with him, and may even commit crimes in the future because of dealing with Clark.
His hatred for Clark was the impetus that led to his criminal behavior.
However, Cobot is different from Lex. He is completely unfamiliar with Lex. He has no hatred and does not even know him. However, he will have intuitions and guesses based on this, and this intuition makes him want to kill him. Without Lex, there was no emotion, no driving force, and no connecting logic. It was just a fleeting hallucination that became the reason for him to kill.
All madmen in Gotham are like this. Their actions have no internal logic, so no one can completely guarantee that they will not become their targets. This is the real scary thing about Gotham, because you can't put your own life on the line. It depends on whether a madman had the steak he liked this morning.
The moment Cobot raised the dagger, there was a "pop" and the crisp sound of glass being shattered came from the window.
Cobot turned back, and at the moment when he turned around, Lex grabbed the test tube rack on the experimental table that he was leaning on and threw it towards Cobot.
The test tube rack and the test tubes hit Cobot's back together. The test tube shattered and scratched Cobot's skin, and blood flowed out. Cobot turned his head suddenly, and the gloominess completely turned into ferocity and madness. Just as he started again
When he raised the dagger, a low and angry voice came from outside the room:
"Thomas! Stop! Stop your evil behavior!!!"
There was a loud "bang", and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard, followed by several heavy footsteps. With a "bang", the door of the room where Lex and Cobot were was knocked open, and a man rushed in.
Come in.
He was stunned as soon as he came in. He didn't seem to expect that there was anyone else in the room, and he knew that the pursuers behind him wouldn't give him much time to react, so in order to escape for his life, he hesitated for less than a second.
, and then rushed straight towards Lex.
Lex dodged to the side, but there was no way to avoid it. The tall man grabbed his arm directly, then strangled him from behind. He held Lex and turned around.
At this time, the light outside the door followed the open door and left a bright square on the ground inside the house. A black shadow with pointed ears stood in the square, like a played card.
