The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

"Except for me, all universes may become copies. So, the same is true for your universe?" Batman asked.

"Yes, we were prepared before we came. To be honest, the situation in our universe is much better than that of most universes. The forces in the universe, large and small, have basically been settled. So, will foreign enemies come? The impact is not big.”

Batman immediately realizes that Schiller is referring to the other big world of his universe, but that's not what he cares about, saying, "I'm talking about the universe where Pride is."

"He, you don't have to worry about that." Schiller shook his head and said, "This is exactly part of Bruce's plan. He proposed to mix the contestants' universes into it."

Batman reacted immediately. He said, "The universe where Pride is located is in a bad economic or political situation right now?"

He feels that if Bruce chooses to do this, that is only possible, because only when the situation is not good, foreign enemies are needed to unite people.

"Economic crisis." Shiller said: "The United States is encountering a Great Depression that is rare in a century. However, the Soviet Union is not dead yet, and Europe is not completely dead. The balance is tilting."

Batman is the person who knows the most about the virtues of the United States, but even if you don’t think about it as an American, but from an objective perspective, the United States should be the superpower with multiple powers, and the Soviet Union should be the same or Europe should be. The ending is the same.

By that era, there was no difference between the Soviet Union and the United States, so no matter which one became the only pole, the future of the world situation would be a tragedy visible to the naked eye. The best situation is still a tripartite confrontation. If possible, the more poles the better.

But now the United States has been hit hard, and although the world is also suffering, if someone takes advantage of this moment to add insult to injury and really disintegrate the United States, it will be a matter of time before the imbalance becomes unbalanced.

If we want to restore balance, it is impossible to expect other countries to show great kindness. After all, the United States has been acting in the opposite direction for so many years. If they don't add insult to injury, they must be powerless.

Therefore, the best way is to attract the attention of other countries and let the United States take a breath first. This will neither overweight one side of the scale nor cause the United States to jump over the wall and turn the Cold War into a hot war.

This foreign enemy is obviously an outsider from the fighting world.

Bruce's plans are not small. Batman thought that he might want to take this opportunity to completely integrate all the countries on the earth. Even if he cannot achieve an earth federation, he must at least establish a confederacy.

In this case, the outsiders who go to this dungeon must be carefully selected. If the intensity is too low, they will not pose a threat; if the intensity is too high, it will easily damage the earth; if the moral level is too high, it will not cause pressure; if the moral level is too low, it will be easy to overturn and be difficult to recover.

Batman calculated in his mind, and he immediately realized who Bruce was targeting. He looked at Schiller and asked tentatively: "Night Owl?"

"He is one of them." Schiller nodded and said. He did not tell Batman that Bruce was actually interested in the entire criminal syndicate, and Night Owl was just the leader.

"The risk is too great." Batman seemed to have guessed it himself. He sighed and said, "Is he so sure that he can control a half-crazy Batman?"

"Don't say he's half crazy, even if he's completely crazy, it's not like he doesn't want to try." Schiller lowered his voice. He stared into Batman's eyes and said, "I have a different attitude towards his crazy idea than Arrogance. Opinion, but you know I can’t say it directly.”

Batman frowned slightly. After such a long period of contact, he also understood the relationship between Schiller's various personality traits. Generally speaking, the relationship between these two people who often rise up is the most complicated.

Neither of them particularly likes the other party's interference in the universe they are responsible for, and their views on their own universe and the methods of maintaining it are also different.

On the surface, greed is more radical, and it has almost settled everything in the universe in the same amount of time.

Arrogance is more conservative. There has been little progress for such a long time. The map has not been explored much. It has little contact with most of the forces outside the earth. Even the nearby Mount Olympus has almost no contact. .

But in fact, Batman can see through the appearance to see the essence. Greed is actually the more conservative one. He chooses to proceed step by step, step by step, and improve in all aspects.

The arrogance is not so much that he is moving forward at a snail's pace, but that he has been waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback and explode in a blowout style.

So obviously the former is more conservative, while the latter is like a gambler, saving all his chips and just waiting for one stud.

It seems that the plan formulated by Bruce to threaten the foreign enemy is that Arrogance has been waiting for the pass. He has poured so much energy into Bruce just to wait for this qualitative change one day.

But Batman also completely understands the worry of greed. The risk is too high. It can be said that he is putting all his chips on Bruce. If something goes wrong with his control, everything will be lost.

Due to emotions and reasons, Batman does not agree with Arrogance doing this, but there is a saying that goes well, there is no relationship between strangers. Arrogance's student is Bruce, and he has such confidence in him, then Batman is not even greedy. method of direct intervention.

"You want me to explore Bruce's reality now?" Batman also looked at Schiller and said, "Even without testing, I can tell you accurately that he is mostly arrogant now."

"Impossible, he must have a back-up plan." Schiller said firmly: "It's not that he doesn't know arrogant thoughts. If he fails this time, he will never graduate in his life."

"So he hasn't graduated yet?"

"It's still far from graduating with a PhD, but if it succeeds, there may be great hope."

Batman touched his chin and said, "If that's the case, he might take it seriously, but I really don't see where his trump card is."

Schiller looked at Batman with suspicion. After a pause, Batman said: "I didn't lie to you, nor did I mean not to say it. When I first met him, he showed that he was completely Attracting Night Owl's attention seems very skillful, like a master manipulator, but you and I both know that's not enough."

"Using this gang of criminals to unify the earth where they live is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife. If it were me, I would even change the brains of each of them and turn them into puppets."

"Just some care, it can't achieve the effect he wants at all, and it's far away from the safety line, so maybe that's not his good card." Batman said while thinking: "If it were me... no, You can’t replace me, that arrogant student is not a normal Batman, he is crazier than a madman.”

Batman shut up and thought for a few seconds. Suddenly he raised his eyelids, looked at Schiller and said, "Is there a clown in that universe?"

Schiller nodded, and Batman said thoughtfully: "I guess the Joker will be his trump card."

"I don't see anything special about Jack," Schiller said, "but if the strength of the Joker and Batman are bound, then he might have some abilities that we don't know about."

"Are there any special events in the Arrogant Universe recently?"

"Never heard of it."

"Then I'm afraid you have to go back and ask." Batman said: "Jack will never be a simple clown. If he is the back-up man prepared by Bruce for himself, let him have such confidence to directly lead a group of criminals to himself. The universe, then the power he holds may be more outrageous than you imagine."

Schiller also knew that being able to deduce these with limited intelligence was already Batman's gift.

Tim didn't know what they were talking about, so he just drank coffee and looked at the monitor. The process of getting through the fifth floor was indeed not very exciting, but it was still thrilling and interesting.

"It's time to delve deeper into the plan of this universe." Schiller said: "If the Batman of this universe is already on the invitation list, then he can still go to the fighting world, but we have to find a way to find his invitation letter. "

"You want to take him out, why?"

"He will come in handy." Schiller said: "Don't forget the style of this universe. Normally it may only add chaos, but if the end is reached, he will be the only breaking point."

"In that case, we can get the Joker out and let him cause trouble for other clowns." Batman immediately thought, "Then let all the criminals in Arkham Asylum go to their respective teams."

"This is best." Schiller said: "I'm not sure whether the so-called recycling plan of this universe has actually been implemented, or it is just a clever misunderstanding. If it is the latter, then Thomas and Martha are very likely to be alive."

"The brick version?"

"Don't worry about whether they are the building block version, just say whether they are Thomas and Martha." Schiller said: "Besides, they are better than your parents. They are building block villains, and they also have their own funny attributes. Basically Not afraid of any danger, not only possessing the souls of your parents, but also not afraid of being kidnapped.”

Batman immediately understood that this might be the price Schiller was willing to pay, but this made him unmoved. What Schiller said made sense.

Thomas and Martha are now in the main universe. If nothing else happens, they will stay there during the fighting world to prevent them from being caught by outsiders when they go to other universes.

These may be the only pair of Batman's parents in the multiverse. If they are really kidnapped by a villain, it will be a threat to all Batman.

But if we can find Thomas and Martha made of building blocks in this universe and bring them back to Batman's base, then Batman can be better united, and even some seemingly evil Batman can't fight for it. , after all, the source of all Batman's tragedies is the death of his parents.

And there are also benefits to having parents made of building blocks. First of all, they are basically not afraid of physical damage. Even if they are broken into parts, they can be put back together. Although chemical damage is a bit troublesome, Batman is sure to get them a protective coating so that they are not afraid of chemical damage. Due to the corrosion of the product, coupled with the life factor that can slowly repair the limbs, it can be said to be almost immortal.

In this case, there is no need to worry about someone capturing them and then using them to threaten the Batman. In addition, with their own funny attributes, they may be able to make the kidnappers steal the chicken but lose the rice.

Looking at Schiller's piercing eyes, Batman tapped his fingers on the table and said, "It's not enough, I need more information."
