The Death Knell

What did he see in Christopher's dream? What was the specific process of analyzing those memories to obtain information? What is the relationship between incubating insomniacs and insomnia?

There's no need to ask these questions. Batman doesn't have the habit of explaining things. Su Ming didn't bother to ask because he didn't want to hear the standard answer.

He just put a cigarette in his mouth, lowered his head and lit it. There was no cigarette in his mouth when he was doing things, which was a shortcoming.

"Let's talk about it. If possible, I wouldn't mind making a nest again."

Making a nest is a term related to fishing. Simply put, it means to first put a large amount of bait into the water to attract fish, and then set the hook to fish.

Otherwise, the rivers, lakes and seas are so big that the fish really can’t smell the little bit of bait on your hook.

"Christopher has multiple personalities, and the main component of insomnia is the missing ten hours of memory." Batman gave a simple explanation of the specific factors that led him to such a judgment, but did not explain it at all.

"I thought he was in a coma during those ten hours." Deathstroke raised his eyebrows on the blind side, still looking so relaxed amid the smoke.

Su Ming had known before that this serial murderer most likely had a split personality. There was a clear separation between his subconscious behavior in his family and his violent methods of killing others.

When working on a construction site, tools that can be used to kill people can be found everywhere. Why did he choose a screwdriver? The answer may be that this weapon is relatively 'blunt', which allows him to feel the fascinating special hysteresis when he frequently stabs the victim's chest, a relatively hard area.

As someone who had been driven by blood lust earlier, Deathstroke knew very well that the frustrating feeling of a weapon entering the target's body was indeed addictive.

To be honest, even after getting rid of the negative effects of bloodlust, he would occasionally kill ghosts, elemental creatures and other intangible things, which lacked an important sense of feedback and would still make people uncomfortable.

"The main personality and body are comatose, but the secondary personality is awake but unable to control the body." Bat took off his gloves and walked aside to enjoy the biscuits and black tea as a midnight snack. As for the small things like packing up the instruments and equipment, and closing Christopher's head, The housekeeper will take care of it.

Butler Man is really good at everything, and he is much better than Green Arrow's Driver Man. Looking at his skillful suturing of patients, you can tell that he has performed many surgeries on Batman.

"So you're saying that at that time, his second personality was trapped in a body that could not move, and then he witnessed the entire process of the tragic death of his family, right?"

Taking another puff of cigarette, Su Ming continued the conversation with Batman. The dark brain circuits of the two parties were immediately aligned. There were many things that really didn't need to be explained so clearly.

"It's not yet certain which personality it is, but this is most likely the reason why it's called 'Insomnia'."

After using some refreshments, the food was obviously not enough to provide enough energy for a strong adult male body, but Batman still only tasted it. He had to avoid too much blood entering the stomach to digest the food. He needed to focus now. Use your strength to use your brain.

"Haha, only awake people can prevent tragedies from happening?"

Su Ming, who stretched out his hand to pet the cat, laughed. He agreed with Batman's guess about the origin of the name Insomnia, but he did not agree with the motive:

"Perhaps he wants to be awake so that he can participate in the feast of killing the protagonist's family members with his own hands? Batman, has the Joker in you ever thought about killing the people around you? For example, relatives, friends, and companions of the Justice League , any acquaintances in Gotham City, anyone?"

"" Batman didn't answer, as if he didn't hear him at all.

But in fact, when he turned around to avoid Deathstroke's gaze, he was obviously more serious than before, because this matter was said.

During the time when he was infected with the Laughing Virus, he felt an unprecedented sense of loss of control. In addition to his uncontrollable laughter, there was also an inner desire to kill that spread like wildfire.

At that time, he did think about killing some people and causing trouble or trouble to some people.

Fortunately, he controlled himself and didn't do anything.

Because the universe itself is dark, killing those villains in Gotham will not improve anything. It is like sucking pus from a cancerous tumor, which will never be exhausted.

Corrupt soil blooms corrupt flowers. Unless the world is truly changed, the power of crisis will always exist, but sometimes the risks brought by change are Barry. He has the most say. He just changed the timeline, which caused After the Flashpoint incident, what if more things need to be changed?

I'm afraid that Diversity 1 will explode directly, just like what the Creative Hands wanted to do before.

"Okay, it's all your fault. Every time I talk to you, the topic goes off track unknowingly." Su Ming threw away the blame and crossed his legs again: "Tell me, what is the weakness of insomnia? I know That must be a psychological loophole, is he afraid of fat prostitutes?"

Batman turned around, his face expressionless, even the downward-turned corners of his mouth had been smoothed: "He wants to become a person living in reality."

Hearing these words, Su Ming closed his eyes and nodded slightly the next second: "That's it."

The process of obtaining information from Batman today was quite smooth, with no effort or transactions.

As for whether bats lie? There is no need to consider this. After all, solving Insomnia and saving the whole world is the first priority. He would not use this kind of thing to retaliate for the sarcastic words Deathstroke said to him every time.

"A nightmare born from a nightmare, pursuing the path to becoming a human?" After the communication was cut off, the cat put down the big bowl it was holding, and rolled its tongue around its mouth: "So this is also the way to transcend?"

"No, its methods and the power it uses undoubtedly come from crisis. This is a sure way to destroy."

Death Knell, who was holding a cigarette, corrected the cat. When judging route problems, we still need to focus on a larger level:

"His actions are obviously to plunge all living creatures into a nightmare. In this way, everyone will become a dreamer and become the same existence as it. In this way, the original definition of 'human' will be changed. , and he became a human being.”

This technique reminded Su Ming of a joke, about how crows in the world are generally black. If there was only one kind of bird in the world, crows, or all birds' feathers were black, then the saying "normally black" would probably be the same. No longer exists.

Insomnia may not have the weapons to master concepts, but it still knows how to attack the weakness of 'definition', which is quite smart.
