Next, the scenes on the stage kept changing, with alleys, offices, and classrooms appearing and disappearing one after another. What remained unchanged was that in every scene, Hugo would be beaten up by Batman and then either sent to prison.
Police station, or sent to a mental hospital.
As these scenes flashed, Schiller's voice echoed in the theater. He said: "If you go to see a psychiatrist in the future, remember not to find such a quack."
"Perhaps you also know that this doctor named Hugo Strange has a good theoretical level, and he can even make many small inventions, and his execution skills are also good..."
"It can be said that in terms of overall quality, he is stronger than me. After all, I can't build any hypnosis machine, nor can I use physical means to hypnotize people. But there is only one thing, I am better than him..."
"That is, I know very well that if you want to be a doctor, the ultimate goal is to cure patients; if you want to be a teacher, the ultimate goal is to teach students well."
"If a doctor does not want to cure a patient, but wants to abuse and control him; if a teacher does not want to teach a student well, but wants to confuse and induce him, then his final destination is a mental hospital."
As Batman once again dragged Hugo, who had been knocked unconscious, to Arkham Asylum, Schiller's voice became a little cold, like the cold night rain in Gotham.
"If he always has a different understanding of his profession, it means that he is neither a good doctor nor a good teacher."
"If he doesn't want to be an ordinary person, then he can only be a patient."
Victor tilted his head slightly, turned his eyes, looked at Schiller and asked: "Is this why you always say that you are an ordinary person?"
Before Schiller could answer, Jack the Clown, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly became excited. He woke up, shook his head, stretched out, yawned, and muttered: "What a man."
It was a short date, but his temper is so bad!"
After speaking, he turned his head back and looked at Schiller and said: "Ordinary people and his ordinary friends, Batman should have noticed that his memory has changed by now, and maybe it is heading towards his subconscious now."
As soon as Jack finished saying this, two Batmans appeared on the next stage. One of them was standing in the alley near the Gotham Cathedral, while the other landed on the roof of the cathedral.
Not surprisingly, Hugo stood opposite Batman in the alley, and the Batman standing at the top of the clock tower looked around until he saw that his other self was holding an empty
salt shaker.
He remembered that this should be when he was tracking down the murderer of his parents. After visiting the murderer, he found that the other person had turned into an Alzheimer's patient and lost all the ability to resist, but he was
The name Falcone evokes deep fear.
Recalling these scenes, those thoughts surged in Batman's mind. He remembered what Schiller said to him at that time: "Fear is the deepest and most difficult scar carved in the human soul."
Just when he thought of this, the heavy bell rang, echoing in every corner of Gotham...
He remembered that when he heard the bell, he vowed to spread fear to every corner of the city and make all criminals tremble, just like this all-pervasive Gotham Evening Bell.
Batman, who was lost in his thoughts, was brought back by Hugo's voice. He suddenly discovered that the person standing in Schiller's position in his memory was not Schiller, but Hugo.
Then, he heard Hugo say: "...How can you not take revenge on him? He killed your parents and lost his ability to move. Isn't this the best opportunity?"
"If you just let him go, how can you talk about revenge? What you should hold is not the broken jar, but a dagger or a gun. You should kill him and follow your inner choice... Go back
...Kill your enemies with your hands..."
Batman on the clock tower stretched out a hand and covered his eyes, but as expected, his other self in the alley punched Hugo down.
Standing on the bell tower, Batman took a deep breath and sighed slowly. He felt that if this was a dream, it would be a really bad nightmare. If he had met such a professor...
…
Batman couldn't help but begin to imagine such a scenario. Of course, he felt that he would not be bewitched by Hugo. In other words, Hugo couldn't be called bewitched, even if he really appeared in him for a long time like Schiller.
In his life, Batman felt that within one semester, he would definitely be able to send this teacher to a mental hospital.
At the beginning of my Batman career, what would it be like to meet such a professor now?
Looking at the self in the memory, the Batman kept asking Hugo the same questions over and over again, asking him if he had committed a crime, and asking him what crime he had committed. If he didn't answer, Batman would break his legs, and then
Send him to the police station or a mental hospital.
Batman felt that it shouldn't be him, so why did he become so paranoid? Looking at this behavior from the perspective of others, it really looked like a madman who had lost his mind. Is this what he wanted?
If this was the method he originally envisioned to bring fear to every corner of Gotham, Batman suddenly understood why Schiller showed such disgust and disgust every time he saw him shaking his fists.
Show some sympathy.
Because, looking at Batman beating Hugo from a third-person perspective, the Batman in this picture is even more like a mental patient than Hugo who fell to the ground. He is paranoid, gloomy, and irritable. Isn't this a typical anti-hero?
Social personality?
What will happen if things continue like this?
Batman couldn't imagine such a thing, but he felt that if he continued with this thinking, he would make stronger equipment for himself, formulate more complete strategies, find more criminals, and then use these tools to deal with them
, and then what?
What will he do if he has dealt with all the criminals?
Perhaps he would see everyone as potential criminals, make more plans, be ready to deal with them at any time, and even put some of these plans into practice.
Fighting against non-existent hallucinations is a typical symptom of mental illness. This is a sentence Batman once read in a psychology textbook, perhaps written by Schiller...
Batman shook his head and began to think about whether he in the scene he imagined was really suffering from some kind of mental illness.
Furthermore, he began to think about whether the endless doubts and the violence generated by doubts were really necessary? Is it a choice made by his own will, or is it a symptom of mental illness?
As the saying goes, if you hold a hammer, everyone will look like a nail. If you study psychology, everyone will look like a psychopath, including yourself.
The stage was fixed on Batman who was thinking, and then gradually collapsed. When the scene was switched again, the layout of the room on the stage seemed a bit unfamiliar.
It looked like a guest room in a manor, with a handsome young man sitting beside the bed, and another thin and short man sitting on a chair near the head of the bed.
Victor turned to look at Schiller and said, "This should be when you met the metropolitan student named Clark, right?"
Schiller nodded and said: "This Dr. Teich also seems to want to compete with me. Since he is in Metropolis, it would be good for him to enlighten Clark..."
The young man sitting next to the bed looked a little worried. He was telling his troubles, but it was obvious that Taichi did not listen carefully. He was not interested in the trivial things that happened in school at all.
"You mean, if you just run around, you can beat the world record?" Teich looked at Clark and asked, "What other magical abilities do you have?"
Clark, who was trapped in painful memories, was not defensive enough. He directly said to Teich: "I am very fast, extremely strong, and have some other magical abilities, but I don't know where they come from. This gives
I caused a lot of trouble..."
“Trouble?!
Taiqi raised his voice and said: "You actually call this extremely powerful ability a trouble?! Are you crazy?!
"
Clark looked a little confused, and Teich said loudly: "You should do something with it! You can even rule this city! Even rule this country and even the earth, why don't you do that???"
"Why do I do this?" Clark stared at Techi in confusion, and said, "Why do I want to rule Metropolis, and why do I want to rule the earth?"
"Because you are stronger than them, you are stronger than everyone!"
"Why should I rule them when I am stronger than everyone else? I can help them and save them, but I will not interfere with them because I don't like others to interfere with me."
"You are such a madman!" Techi jumped down from the chair and screamed: "You could have easily had everything! You could have all the Alices in the world, and you could make the entire earth a dreamland! And
Now you are actually troubled by such a powerful ability???"
"No, I won't change the lives of ordinary people, because they may not like the rules I set for them, and they will feel sad. And I won't set any rules. I haven't even graduated from college...
…”
Clark's thinking is very clear. He is not the type of Batman who struggles with one sentence for three days. Although he has the smartest super brain in the world, many times, he still does things from the perspective of a kind human being...
Compared with Batman's duty to fight crime, Superman's position is more about helping others. From his perspective, the only thing that needs to be distinguished is who needs help and who does not. In other words, in Superman's view,
Everyone needs help, and as long as it is within his ability, he should give it all.
There is no wavering in the core position. Superman can defeat the gossiping villains like Gotham. If the scene in the movie, where both ships have bombs and the two parties press each other's buttons, appears in front of Superman, he will only feel that
Both parties are weak and need his help.
The clown couldn't finish his words, so Superman directly dismantled the cabin with people on it, picked it up and ran away. By the time the clown finished speaking, he had probably received more than three hundred punches from Superman.
Superman wants to help everyone equally. When a person is holy to the extreme, he is unshakable.
Therefore, no matter how much Teich tried to seduce, seduce, and persuade, Clark just felt that he couldn't do that.
Finally, Taichi finally lost his patience. He took out a strange-shaped object from his suitcase and put it on his head. It was a bit like a hat, but more like an instrument.
The circle of light bulbs above will also glow.
That is the brainwave controller developed by Taiqi. This thing not only functions in the dream world, but also turns on simultaneously in reality.
Teich will use brain waves to control it. When he turns on the brainwave controller in a dream, the brainwave controller in reality will search for the brainwave that Techi is currently connected to, and enter his consciousness space to modify it.
his memory.
Everything went smoothly. The brainwave controller in reality was successfully opened, and reached Clark's brainwave and entered his conscious world.
As mentioned before, Schiller sent these two people into the subconscious of Batman and Superman. He first went down from his own thinking palace and entered the dream kingdom, and then followed the dream kingdom to find the consciousness of Superman and Batman, and then upward.
, directly enter the subconscious, thus bypassing the two people's conscious awareness.
But Taichi's brainwave controller cannot do this. When he enters the conscious world of others, he directly enters the superficial consciousness, and human superficial consciousness is very easy to fluctuate.
Clark originally slept well in the school dormitory, and even had a dream, but when the brainwave controller invaded his consciousness, his consciousness began to activate.
Originally, if consciousness started to activate, it would mean that he was beginning to transition from sleep to wakefulness, but the hypnotic function of the brainwave controller has been soothing Clark's brainwaves to prevent him from waking up.
But as the super brain's activity becomes faster and faster, the massive information stored in Superman's brain also activates. His consciousness is constantly soothed and he remains in a dream. After these massive information activates, there is no room to go.
, and now, there is only one open channel...
When all the redundant information poured into Taiqi's mind along the channels of the brainwave controller, he didn't even have the slightest room to resist, and all the conscious space was filled with this junk information.
.
How much complicated information is there in Superman's brain? It's probably so much that Schiller feels dizzy just looking at it...
Clark's application of his super brain is relatively shallow. He has not learned how to process and filter information, but he has only learned to record. All the information he has seen from birth to now is stored in his brain, even the information on the coffee table.
A grain of ash, a speck of soil in the farmland, all the details are clear.
From the perspective of computer principles, suddenly being filled with so much information can be regarded as a kind of invasion and destruction.
Teqi's superficial consciousness space collapsed in an instant, but one thing that Teqi is better than others is that he has done some research on his own consciousness space.
In that fairy tale manor, the rabbit hole in the backyard is actually the passage leading to Teich's subconscious, just like the hole dug on the ground floor of Schiller's Hall of Thought.
Realizing that his surface consciousness was beyond redemption, Taichi hurriedly jumped down the rabbit hole into his subconscious.
It can be said that at this point, there is still room for saving the matter, as long as the information is cleared out, Taiqi thinks so too.
However, his personality sank into the subconscious, and there was no personality activity in the surface consciousness. Then the brain wave activity stopped, and he could no longer control the brain wave controller, and the hypnosis for Clark also stopped.
Just because Clark didn't use his super brain, it didn't mean that he had no control over his conscious space like ordinary humans. On the eve of waking up from the real world, he realized that his brain had been invaded.
So, he did not choose to wake up, but sank into his conscious space to see what was going on. At this time, the brainwave channel connected to the brainwave controller had not yet been closed. Clark followed this channel and
Came to Taichi's surface consciousness.
Finding that all the memories crowded here were his own, Clark thought someone had stolen his memories, so he began to search for the murderer on the surface. After searching around, he found the rabbit hole.
Clark didn't think too much and jumped down the rabbit hole. He happened to meet Techi who had just come here to take refuge.
The conscious Clark didn't know who Teich was, but Taichi knew what bad things he had done. When he saw Clark approaching, he ran away. When Clark saw him running, he knew he was guilty, so he chased after him.
There was no way that Taichi could outrun Clark. Soon, he would be overtaken, and if he wanted to hide, there was only one way to go.
When Schiller came to pick up Hugo and Teach to go to the consciousness space of Batman and Superman, he also took the same path as the Dream Kingdom, that is, he made a passage from the bottom up from the Dream Kingdom.
In other words, now, there is a hole at the bottom of Taichi and Hugo's subconscious, leading directly to the dreamland.
Taiqi had no choice but to jump down the hole. He knew that there was a fantasy country under the hole. As long as he could enter that country and find a place to hide himself,
Get up, maybe it will be safe.
On the other side, Hugo, who was being chased by Batman, thought the same thing.
And it just so happens that there is a hole under Batman's subconscious. That was the hole made by the Joker when he borrowed a passage from the dream kingdom to play in Batman's consciousness.
Hugo searched around and found that there was only such an escape route, so he jumped in without hesitation. When he saw that his exam questions had escaped, Batman, who didn't want to fail the exam, had to chase it...
As a result, Taichi, Superman, Hugo and Batman all followed the holes in their own consciousness space and came to the dream kingdom.
The two groups of people chased him and ran away, but they still met together. This time, it became even more lively.
Clark didn't know what Batman was here for, and thought he was here to pick up Tetch. When Batman saw Tetch, he knew he was another murderer of Eucalyptus, so he also wanted to chase him.
These four people are running around in the dreamland. Hugo and Teach are lucky. Batman and Clark both have their own special effects. When Batman's dark wave and Clark's light collide, explosions continue to occur.
.
At this point in the play, Morpheus in the audience couldn't sit still at all. After he disappeared with a "swish", Schiller took out a bottle of wine. The other people didn't need to remind him, and they all leaned back in their chairs.
Put it on your back and prepare to fall asleep.
Morpheus hurried back to his home and found that his home was almost demolished. He suddenly felt angry and evil.
In an instant, everyone in the dreamland condensed, and Morpheus descended on the center of the battlefield, his robes fluttering in the wind, and his expression was calm and intimidating.
"Stop it! You damn humans! You have destroyed the Dream Kingdom and you must pay the price..."
Everyone was imprisoned and therefore unable to move. Morpheus was well aware of the power of his power, so he did not notice that Clark's expression became a little angry.
Looking at his position, you can tell why he has such emotions. Clark is only one step away from Techi and almost caught him. But at this time, Morpheus froze everyone.
From Clark's point of view, isn't this just a case of covering up Teach?
When it comes to enforcing justice, Superman specializes in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction.
Morpheus took a deep breath and sighed again. Suddenly, he saw the shadow of a ship appearing in the distance.
The big ship came slowly and stopped very far away from Morpheus. Morpheus shouted angrily: "Schiller! Look at the good things you have done!... Why are you standing so far away? Are you afraid that I will beat you?
?!"
Schiller, who was standing at the bow of the boat, shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid you'll hit me, I'm afraid..."
As he spoke, he stretched out a finger and pointed gently at Morpheus's back. Morpheus snorted coldly and said, "Don't even think about using such a little trick..."
In an instant, an extremely dazzling light burst out from behind him, and a sun rose in the realm of dreams. The light in the center became brighter and brighter until it burned a hole in the entire universe.
In a silent moment, the bright light erupted, and everything within sight in the dreamland was razed to the ground.
The moment Batman saw the light, he thought of Schiller's more than 20 buildings that had been blown down. So, he retreated at an extremely fast speed, and then was pulled back by Schiller's collar.
on board.
Morpheus, the dream god, made some improvised resistance in the end, but because the reaction time was too short and he was too close to Superman, he flew the farthest when the sun exploded.
The reason why it is said that he flew the farthest is because the souls of the two remaining humans had no chance to fly and melted on the spot like moths flying into the flame.
When Morpheus landed and collapsed on the ground after being bombed, with his eyes full of stars, he heard the low and reverberating sound of the horn, and he saw the shadow of a large ship...
He saw two figures jumping off the big ship, one of them was Schiller, and the other figure was somewhat familiar to Morpheus, or in other words, very familiar.
Constantine walked unhurriedly to the lying Morpheus, lowered his head, took out a cigarette, put it to his mouth and lit it, took a puff, slowly exhaled the smoke, then looked down at Morpheus and said:
"Now, you can always tell me why you don't want to give me a sweet dream, right?"
