"Please take a seat, Dr. Hugo. I remember that we have never sat down and talked face to face like today." Schiller walked to the single sofa by the window. He pointed to the seat opposite. Hugo said briefly
Some stood there warily without moving.
"I'm sorry to invite you here in this way, but I do have something urgent. Forget about the plan you made with that paranoid patient before. I have more important things to talk to you about here."
Hugo narrowed his eyes and said, "The last time I fell into the dream world, was it your fault? That monster, and that battle..."
"So you were there at that time. I thought you had already been kicked out because you couldn't support your mental strength. It seems that I really found the wrong person." Schiller picked up a book from the bookshelf behind him.
I started reading this book.
Hugo crossed the fingers of his hands, paused, and then walked to the chair opposite Schiller.
"I think you should have discovered that the two of us are the same kind of people. Before, it was just a small welcome ceremony, a Gotham-style bad joke. I think you should be used to it." Schiller laughed.
Said to Hugo.
Hugo snorted coldly. He didn't want to show his timidity in front of Schiller, so he couldn't say that he was seriously traumatized by the nasty little joke Schiller said before.
"You like to control others, and you feel happy to pry into the secrets of other people's inner worlds and control them to commit crimes. I am the same." Schiller looked at Hugo and said: "But the difference is that I am far away from the man called Batman.
The closer I am, the more he trusts me, so I know that he has insight into part of your conspiracy, and at this time, he should be formulating a strategy to deal with you."
"I'm here to remind you, just because you and I are the same people. Sooner or later, I will face Batman and let you be killed by him. It will not be good for me, because sooner or later, he will also doubt me."
"We are the same people."
Hugo's attitude relaxed a little, because Schiller showed him that he was not a good person either, and he was not intending to punish him as a righteous warrior.
In fact, Hugo, who is proficient in psychology, also understands that, just as Schiller said, they are a type of people, cold and cruel control freaks who are born to control others and enjoy watching tragedies.
"I think you should have been in Gotham for a while. You should know how rare Batman is as research material. If it were you, wouldn't you want to study him?"
"Of course I do." When Hugo said this, there was a crazy light in his eyes, just like all the villains in Gotham. He said: "He is a mystery... an endless and beautiful mystery,
I was fascinated by his state and wanted to know what led to the birth of such a person..."
"There is no psychiatrist in the world who can refuse to peek into Batman's inner world, and I have done more than you, so now I have the opportunity to remind you."
"Indeed." Hugo sneered and said: "You are his university teacher, and you are very close to him. Perhaps he has confided his past stories to you, and perhaps he has also revealed some inner secrets to you.
, and what he didn’t expect was that the teacher who gave him guidance and education was exactly the kind of pervert he hated most..."...
At this point, Hugo became a little excited. He said: "I also want to play a role like this, it makes my blood boil!"
"Justice heroes of the night, crazy crazy villains, I will hypnotize them, deconstruct them, control them, stage drama after drama in Gotham, completely ignite the fire of chaos here, this is the fundamental reason that prompted me to come here
The reason...I belong in Gotham!"
Hugo began to tremble with excitement. He was telling the truth. People who do not belong to Gotham will eventually leave, but people who belong to Gotham will come here no matter what, come to this extremely absurd madman's paradise, and interact with each other.
Their fellow masters compete against each other on the same stage.
"If I could choose one person in this city that I would like to cooperate with, it would be you, Dr. Hugo."
"Other lunatics make me sick. They are not professional enough."
When Schiller said these words, when he saw the light in Hugo's eyes, he knew that the other party had taken the bait.
"...They are not professional enough, that's the only reason."
Looking along the wall of this reception room to the other side, next door, in another reception room that looks like a copy and paste, another Schiller is saying the same thing to Teich.
"Metropolis? I hate this place! I think your life there won't go well either. It doesn't belong to people like us."
"What's even more annoying is that one can fly around in the sky... what? Superman? Does he think he is a helicopter?" Schiller lit a cigar, squinted his eyes, and spoke in a contemptuous tone.
said.
"He left a very bad impression on me. What did I do? I just used a small means to achieve some of my goals. I was born with this tool, why can't I use it?
"
"Dr. Teich, the reason why I came to find you is because we are the same person."
"So, forget about Hugo's defeated general. He didn't even go through a round in my hands before he ran away." Schiller sneered.
"I just created a monster in the space of my consciousness. It's nothing scary. You know, it's just like the flying and laughing cat in your deep consciousness...a little pet.
That’s all, I scared him so much that he ran away. Dr. Teich, what surprises me is, how could you cooperate with such a person?"
The short Taiqi walked to the chair and sat down. His feet could not even touch the ground, but he tried to show a stable posture, coughed, and then said: "He took the initiative to find me."
"That day, I was testing my brainwave controller at the research institute. After the test signal was sent out, I thought it was just a bunch of ordinary people's thoughts coming to bother me. However, this signal seemed to be caused by someone of his.
This instrument captured it, so the two of us contacted each other across two cities."
"He is in Gotham and I am in Metropolis, but my instrument is very powerful and can completely cover this distance. When he told me that he was going to come up with a plan, it sounded stupid, right?"
Taiqi also touched a cigar from the table. When he felt the delicate touch and the aroma after lighting it, he knew that the person opposite was just like him, a top person in this field...
"Seriously, what plan have you come up with? Why didn't I hear any news in Gotham? If that's all he has, I can only say, give up on him as soon as possible, Dr. Teich, he is not a good person
one's business Patner."
As if to distance himself from the relationship, Taiqi hurriedly said: "Plan? No, I can only say that it is worse than the homework of my students."
In order to echo Schiller's statement and not appear so unprofessional, Teich began to tell Hugo and the plan in a light and mocking tone.
"Hugo told me that he needed more support in Gotham. Simply put, he needed money and status to achieve his goals. There are many wealthy families in Gotham, but most of them are difficult to deal with.
.”
"The gang families in your area don't respect the aristocratic families at all. They believe in the principle that the big fist is the boss. Such people are more difficult for us to deal with."
"There are also pure business families, but most of them are too close to the Wayne family. There is only one exception, and that is the Elliott family."
"The population structure of their family is very simple, and they only have one heir. This means that as long as they find the heir, they can naturally obtain all the resources of the Elliott family."
"Obviously, he thought things were too simple. Hugo tried every means to get close to the heir of the Elliott family, and bewitched him to kill his parents."
"Hugo believes that killing Thomas and taking over the Elliott family is not a clear choice, because he really doesn't know how to do business. Instead of doing this, it is better to keep Thomas and then control him to let Elliott
The family plundered profits for him and became his foundation in Gotham."
"So, he is indeed helping Thomas get away with the crime, but that damn guy, he killed my Alice, so I must take revenge on him!"
"Can you tell me more about your lover?" Schiller looked at Teich and said, "Of course, I understand your love for her. I just want to know how you two met."
"I am a tutor at the Metropolis Center Institute, and Alice, she came to travel to the Metropolis. The two of us met like that and fell in love, but my damn assistant David, with his young
Alice was bewitched by her handsome appearance..."
"So, you and Alice met first?" Schiller asked, but when he finished asking this question, Techi turned his head and stopped looking at him. Schiller knew that he was lying.
.
The best way to deal with a delusional patient is to find loopholes in his logic. Obviously, the so-called theory that Doris traveled to the metropolis and met Teich does not make sense.
There are many attractions in the metropolis, but they certainly do not include the Central Research Institute. Who would go to a place like the Research Institute when traveling? It is not accessible to ordinary people at all.
The only possibility is that Doris fell in love with David, Taichi's assistant. She might have met her boyfriend when she went to the institute to visit her.
Then, Taichi imagined that she was his lover, which was not surprising, because this short man named Taichi was actually the famous Mad Hatter...
Judging from the background story of the Mad Hatter, it is very likely that Taichi harassed Doris, but was rejected by her. Therefore, his paranoia became more severe, and he made up his mind to have a relationship with Doris.
Love, and imagined Doris's original boyfriend David as a third party, but in fact, he is the third party.
But Schiller just stopped there and did not continue to expose Teich's lies, because it was unnecessary and he was not here to treat Teich's illness.
"So, you controlled Bellena's friend Angel and wanted him to kill Bellena and avenge your lover?"
"Yes, but I didn't expect that that little girl's willpower is quite strong, but it doesn't matter, I will succeed soon, no one can escape my hypnosis..."
What Teich did not see was a look of disdain on Schiller's face. At the same time, Schiller, sitting opposite Hugo next door, did not hide his disdain. He said:
"I have long said that he is unprofessional to the extreme. He constantly imposes his own worldview on the other party, without considering the other party's growth environment, personality traits, and current environment. He is like a barbarian who only knows how to act recklessly.
"
"He imposed his own set of ideas on Angel and was very proud of it. But what he didn't know was that Angel himself had noticed something was wrong, so he resisted him."
"That idiot thinks that women should be jealous because of dresses or gems. He has not analyzed Angel's personality at all. He doesn't know that she is actually a scholar-type personality. She is more interested in research than those decorations...
"
"He did not deeply analyze the relationship between Angel and Belenna, did not know the story between them, and did not consider whether they should have acted like that at that time. He only knew that he was waving some brainwave controller.
Let me tell you, there is no artistry in this..."
Hugo resonated with Schiller on this point. He said: "He likes to rely on external objects and uses the brainwave controller that can hypnotize people as his own weapon. He will never understand the charm of psychology.
, will not know how to take advantage of other people's personality weaknesses to control the other person's pleasure..."
Schiller in both rooms leaned back, letting his back rest on the back of the chair, and the back of the chair was tightly against the wall behind him. On the other side of the wall, there was another person in the same posture.
Own.
The two Schillers sat back to back across the wall, looking into the eyes of Hugo and Teich respectively and said:
"So, we are the same person."
"We should unite and let those who despise us know what real hell is."
"What are you going to do?" Hugo and Taiqi asked in unison.
The two Schillers stood up from their chairs at the same time. Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, outlining a shining arc on his profile. He said:
"I have a method that allows people to enter the conscious world of others. We all know that that is our home field. In the conscious world, no matter how strong the body is, in our eyes, they are just vulnerable ants.
"
"Now, think about who your opponent is? Who are you going to use to fire your first shot at controlling this world?"
"Please allow me to introduce to you the person who is most disgusting to you and the person who is most suitable to be your opponent——"
The two Schillers sounded exactly the same voice, but they called out different names, and in the end, the codas coincided again:
