The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Dick and Batman sat side by side on the bed.

This is an incredibly harmonious scene. Before they become enemies, they rarely sit so close, because usually, if they sit together in this posture, it means that they need to start talking.

But they actually haven't talked to each other in a long time.

They can't have a heart-to-heart talk now, because sitting opposite them is the person who is the culprit who made them like this - Schiller.

The members of the Bat Family gathered outside the door, but the door was not opened, so they did not know what was happening in the house yet.

"You need an explanation." Schiller said seriously.

Dick looked up at him, his angry eyes clearly saying "We need an explanation now, because of who?!"

"You need to see a dentist." Schiller spoke more seriously.

Dick became even angrier, and his eyes changed to "Then why do I need to see a dentist?!"

Batman stood up, opened the door and walked out. His voice soon rang outside the door. He said, "Dick ate too many sweets. Dr. Schiller discovered his dental caries and gave him a preliminary examination." , the scream was because he misjudged the severity and did not use anesthesia... Yes, he used to be a dentist. "

The bat family is in disarray.

Batman reenters and says to Schiller, "I'll take him."

Schiller stood there without saying anything, and had no intention of stopping him. Just as Dick was about to say something, Schiller said to him: "You will be taken away by him, or you will stay."

No Dick would choose to go with Batman in this situation, but now the Dick here knows that he has no other choice. Staying will not be a choice that appears in his mind, it will only enter his mind. of water.

Dick leaves with Batman.

But the moment they left the room, Schiller's voice sounded in Batman's headphones, and he knew the source of the signal was the tiny bug he placed beside Schiller's bedside.

"Don't go ahead of him," Schiller said. "Slow down and let him go first."

Batman didn't know why, but he felt that this might be Schiller's plan, so he slowed down. The moment Dick passed him, he saw Dick's movements visibly pause.

Dick looked back at him.

Batman saw disbelief and sadness in his eyes.

"He thinks that you are unwilling to expose your back to him and that you are doubting him, but you'd better not feel guilty, because he is a vampire now, so no matter how you defend yourself, it is completely reasonable."

"Tell him to go to the Batcave." Schiller said: "It's better to be blunt and sound like an unquestionable order."

At this moment, Batman still felt that Schiller had other plans, so he did it.

Dick stared at him and said, "You treat me like a prisoner."

"You need more than just the dentist." Batman repeated Schiller's words. "Or do you want to see the dentist just now?"

Dick turned around silently and walked towards the Batcave with his feet a little stiff.

Batman felt a little confused. In fact, Dick was not seriously injured. Apart from losing two fangs, magic could still be used normally. He had no room for resistance.

"What a panicked and helpless little lamb." Schiller's voice sounded particularly evil in Batman's earphones. Taking advantage of Dick's unpreparedness, Batman pressed the earphone and said, "What do you want to do?"

"I think he is a special vampire, possibly the leader, or at least a very powerful being. Don't you want him to be on your side?"

"You want me to use him?"

"Love him in a different way."

Batman has no way to deal with such a conversation, because the person opposite has a way of conversation in which everything makes sense, or in other words, has an absolute social suppression technique that makes you cold and ruthless as long as you refute. With such a person There is no hope in a dialogue lawsuit.

"Batman, I know you have never used any control over your children, either physically or mentally, and you think this is the most evil thing in the world."

"But the Dick standing in front of you now is the result of your letting it go. We never approve of the extreme control of parents, but the lambs will always have a master, and it's either you or someone else who is evil."

"Would you want your children to meet a master like me?" Schiller's tone seemed to be sure of success. He said: "You can make sure that every bite of the forbidden fruit your children taste will not be... A poison that can poison you, the Bat-family, or even the entire universe?"

Batman can't be sure, because the facts are already before him. A traitor has appeared in the Bat Family, and the chaos caused by this has put his universe on the table for human consumption. This is something Batman can never accept.

But he was also not moved by these few words. He said: "I just didn't want to do that to them, but if they got out of control, I would..."

"It's not like you at all, Batman, to lock them up in a prison in the Batcave, never see them again, convince yourself that you're just locking up a criminal, and then suffer in silence."

"Batman is a person who will do anything to deal with criminals. Even if you can't kill them, you still have many ways to make them suffer. Just because he is your child, you choose the stupidest method, but This only satisfies your fatherly mentality and only touches yourself."

"It's not that you don't know how to use those manipulation methods, it's just that you refuse to use them on them. All the subsequent troubles caused by this indulgence and the pain it brings you are like the punishment you should bear on behalf of your son, but you It’s clear that this doesn’t benefit anyone.”

"How are you going to convince me to mentally manipulate my child like a lunatic like you?" Batman remained unmoved.

"Then I'll do it."

"Don't even think about it."

"I've almost succeeded." Schiller said with a smug smile in his tone: "Do you think you can still get that necklace back? The real reason why you think you can't get it back now Is it because it once belonged to you, or is it because I put it on him?"

Batman felt real pain. He was suffocating and felt thousands of indescribable emotions welling up in his chest.

He knew very well that the fear of Schiller was occupying Dick's mind. Sooner or later, he would not be willing to take off the necklace like a necklace. It would not be because the necklace had any unique meaning, but because he did not dare to .

Because the person who put this necklace on him forced him to pull out his fangs, cut off his claws, and tame the beast into a docile lamb. This was intolerable pain for ordinary people, and no one could ask Dick not to surrender to it. .

By then it will be too late, Batman thought, he will be the second Jason, and the pain he suffered will become a nightmare that cannot be mentioned between them and the entire Bat Family.

Perhaps even more so.

The Joker never wanted to conquer Jason, he just wanted to use Jason to make Batman suffer, so most of the methods he used were explicit violence, which only brought hatred to Jason.

But Schiller is not like that. What he wants is control, so what is unacceptable and inevitable is that Dick will love him.

But this kind of love will only pull him into the abyss of eternal destruction, and he will never have the chance to come back like Jason.

Then there is only one option left - Batman must become Dick's master to prevent someone from taking advantage of him.

But how could he use such despicable means of mental manipulation on a child?

"It's okay, Batman." Schiller's voice now sounds scarier to Batman than the Joker, because the Joker always talks nonsense, but Schiller opens his mouth and goes straight to the point.

"I will teach you how to do it... Of course, I know that you are also a master of manipulation, but I'm afraid you don't know how to use mental manipulation techniques on the people closest to you. You can't guarantee that you and him will not lose control. ”

"But I'm good at this, I can teach you, and I can absolutely guarantee you that this is the best way to make your dry little biscuits smell like wine again."

Batman really wanted him to shut up, just as he really wanted to keep himself quiet, but he knew that when things got to this point, this was the only way to save Dick.

If Dick is locked up to study the antidote, Schiller will definitely take advantage of it, but if he is let go, he will definitely hurt others as a vampire and become an incurable monster.

This is the damn doctor's trap, Batman thought in his mind, putting him in a dilemma and forcing him to do so.

"Tell me how," Batman said.

"It's very simple. You have done a good job before." The smile in Schiller's tone was no longer concealed. He said: "Do exactly what I say. Maybe you will still have a chance to see this poor bird. What’s the other side?”

Batman mentally prayed that it was better not to, because he already had a premonition of what would happen next.

Batman followed Dick slowly one meter behind him. This was a distance that would not get too close but could still pose a threat. Both of them knew this, so the journey was extraordinarily long.

Next, every action and word Batman makes comes from Schiller's instructions in the headset.

"I think you need to walk a little faster," Batman said.

Dick just frowned when he heard the voice coming from behind again, "My emergency healing potion can only last five minutes. If I don't get any treatment after five minutes, I may die of internal rupture."

"I've treated your injury." Dick continued to walk forward, a little faster.

"This is the biggest reason why I can still move freely now. Your magic is very magical. Dick, can you tell me where you learned it?"

"You know you didn't learn this!"

"Then can I take this as a gift from the unexpected persecution you suffered?" Batman's pace also quickened, and he was faster than Dick, arriving behind him in almost a few seconds.

Dick quickened his pace again, trying to get away from him, but he couldn't. No one can escape Batman in the dark.

"Tell me, is that a giveaway?"

"I know what you want to ask." Dick's tone was very cold. He said, "You want to ask me if I was transformed voluntarily."

"No, Dick, I want to know whether the pain you suffer is proportional to the gain you gain, and whether you feel it is worth it."

"It's none of your business."

Batman suddenly stopped, Dick took a few steps forward and then stopped, and then Batman's deep voice echoed in the corridor.

"You are willing to bow down to a strange doctor you have just met for less than a day, just because he stuffed a cross into your mouth, made you bleed a lot, and pulled out your teeth, but you are unwilling to do the same to me. Can I understand that I have to take similar measures to make you answer my questions properly?"

Dick looked back at him in disbelief.

Batman felt that he was going too far in his heart.

This was infinitely close to a threat, and it was a violent threat. It was not the kind of joking threat between father and son like "I will break your legs if you dare to be naughty", but more like the deadly threat between the monarch and his subjects like "How about this empty box?"

This level of threat and intimidation is absolutely not mixed with any close love, and it is completely possible to completely break the fragile relationship between anyone with just this sentence, which is enough to push any lover away.

And manipulation without love is just empty talk, and it has no use except driving people crazy.

When Schiller's low laughter sounded in the headphones, Batman really couldn't help but wonder how he could save the current situation.
