Chapter 1017: The Clown's Bad Luck (Part 2)
"Wait! Wait!" The Joker yelled frantically, "Do you know what you are doing? You will blow us all up!!!"
"This is also my plan." Batman's cold voice continued: "Do you think I really forgive you damn criminals? You should really ask the attending doctor of the mental hospital for more medicine... Do you really think Batman will forgive criminals?!"
The Joker was choked, but Batman continued, "Thank you for killing each other... The missile silo is preheated, the launch safety is released, and it is ready to ignite!"
The Joker turned his head and looked out the window, and found a black dot flying towards the Gotham Cathedral at a very high speed. Batman was not joking, he was serious!
The Joker almost hurriedly let Schiller off the rope, and then wanted to drag him away from the Gotham Cathedral.
But at this moment, there was a burst of gunfire from the back of the Gotham Cathedral, and a few curses in Russian came. The clown Jack didn't react at all. A group of fully armed strangers rushed in from the back door of the church and fired at the church ground.
The clown was sure that those people were definitely not locals in Gotham. The weapons they held and the way they shot were completely different from here. The clown, who didn't carry heavy weapons, couldn't cope with it at all. He could only hide behind the bunker, but he was suppressed by the firepower and couldn't get up.
Although the clown has a strong self-healing ability, he is not invulnerable. Even if he is invulnerable, the bullets of heavy weapons have a very obvious repulsive effect. Even if he rushes up against the bullets, he can't rush out.
Under the cover of firepower, several figures rushed out from the corner of the back door, lifted Schiller who was still lying on the ground, and disappeared into the church at a very fast speed.
The Joker roared on the spot: "Batman!!!!!!!"
Batman actually took advantage of the psychology of high-IQ criminals like the Joker. Among the formulas he learned from Schiller to deal with natural born killers, there is a very important point, that is, these lunatics always think they are the most powerful, and each of them is an incomparable arrogance.
Batman said he wanted to save the Joker, and the Joker didn't believe it at first, but the reason he didn't believe it was that he felt that in the same period of time, Schiller's influence on Batman could not be greater than his influence on Batman. He didn't believe that Batman would completely give up revenge because of Schiller, because he didn't do this either.
So, when Batman said that this was all his plan and he didn't change at all, the Joker not only believed it, but also felt a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment that he had expected.
Under such conditions, the Joker would immediately save Schiller, because only if Schiller was alive would the Joker have the opportunity to laugh at him, and at the same time, he would have the opportunity to expose the fact that Schiller was deceived by Batman, and satisfy his vanity that was stronger than the same natural born killer.
In the church, the Joker just wanted to run when he heard a "buzzing" sound in his ears. Originally, Batman had controlled the missile to turn around. After all, he couldn't really blow Schiller to death. The Bat Missile also had the ability to turn around directly, but since Schiller had been taken away, there was nothing to say.
The next second, the missile landed, and a mushroom cloud rose at the location of the Gotham Cathedral. The Joker waved his arms and was blown up to the sky.
But Batman in front of the monitoring screen also frowned. The person who took Schiller away was not sent by him.
At this time, in the thinking tower of Schiller Hall, DC Schiller had just sat up from the bed. He wiped his eyes a little sleepily, and then said: "It does hurt a little, but fortunately, the fusion process is still smooth..."
He got off the bed, but because he was a little weak, he could only hold the head of the bed to breathe. At this time, the door was knocked, and the superego pushed the door open and walked in.
"Are you okay? The last stage of fusion should be completed, right?" The superego supported DC Schiller and walked towards the door.
DC Schiller nodded and said, "Batman stimulated the Joker, and Lucifer stimulated me. After the activity of both of our souls increased, the fusion became faster. In other words, the overall plan was going smoothly."
"But to be honest, in the end, the performance of Constantine, Batman and Lucifer should not be in your plan, right?" The superego looked at DC Schiller.
DC Schiller pursed his lips and said, "So what? I still achieved my goal. Even if there are some small setbacks in the middle, it is normal."
Superego smiled, but did not continue to force DC Schiller. The two walked to the fence of the patio, and DC Schiller said:
"Since I wanted to complete the fusion, a plan has gradually taken shape in my mind, but the key is that the clown and I must be injured at the same time."
"We both have the same roots and the same fears. Originally, my plan was to rely on seasickness to make us both weak, but since Constantine has provided a better opportunity, I will naturally use it properly."
"Although I have successfully become weak and have been injured more than once, there is another problem. That is, if we merge in this weak state, then the personality that is finally completed will still be very weak and difficult to recover. In short, it is injured to the root and cannot be cured."
"I need the wounds caused by weakness and injury for fusion, but I can't let the soul activity drop too low. Both parties must always be in an excited state. Otherwise, even if the fusion is completed, the strength will not increase."
"And if you want the soul activity to increase, we must both be in an excited state. So, I used guilt to pull Batman in, so that he can continue to stimulate the Joker and maintain the soul activity on his side."
"And you, what was your original plan? How do you plan to stimulate your soul activity? And ensure that you can always dominate in the fusion?" The superego looked at Schiller and asked.
"I'm not going to do anything." To the surprise of the superego, DC Schiller shook his head and said, "Anyway, you will never watch the Joker take the lead. During the fusion, if his strength overwhelms me, you will definitely save me. This is your ticket to watch the fun."
The superego covered his forehead and said, "I really should have closed the door instantly when you jumped in, so that you would fall flat on your face. That would have made the scene more embarrassing. This is the price you pay for wanting to use me."
"You are the rules, and I am just using the rules reasonably. The Joker personality taking the lead and floating to the surface consciousness is not in the interests of all personalities. This is the fundamental reason why I dare to start the fusion. No matter what, you will not let me lose." DC Schiller smiled.
"I think your friends are right." Superego rested his hands on the railing, looked at DC Schiller and said, "You are always good at making a series of plans, using your friends, and then arranging rewards for them without authorization."
"You are wrong." DC Schiller shook his head and said, "Because, I have not prepared any reward for you at all."
Superego took a deep breath, stared into DC Schiller's eyes and said, "I know you are deliberately angering me, because I can put you in solitary confinement. If I lock you up, you naturally don't have to go out and face them, but I just want to say, you are dreaming."
"I think you have almost recovered, hurry up and get up to work! Didn't you hear the sound just now? There was a huge explosion next to you, and you are now powerless to resist, and you don't know where you were taken to..." Superego turned around and wanted to leave.
But at this time, Arrogant Schiller looked up at the tower and asked, "What was the mysterious power you used when you split us into two?"
The figure of the superego paused for a moment, and then he said, "So, your fundamental purpose is here."
"I said, why are you in such a hurry to start the fusion, and the whole plan is stumbling and not smooth. It seems that you are Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, but your intention is Pei Gong."
"When starting the fusion, you pulled Batman and constantly stimulated the soul activity of the Joker, putting yourself in a disadvantageous position. You know that I will not sit idly by. At the last moment, I will definitely use that kind of power to save you, and you will know the truth."
"The series of plans you have formulated are not aimed at Batman, Constantine, or even the other half contaminated by the Joker virus. Your ultimate goal is to trick me into taking action."
The superego turned around, and DC Schiller also turned around. When the two looked at each other, sparks flew.
"Don't forget that you are the collective will of all personalities, including me. You shouldn't have hidden anything from me. The reason why I didn't ask for so long..."
DC Schiller stepped forward, tilted his head, stared into the eyes of the superego and said, "Because if I knew, the Joker, who is of the same origin as me, would definitely know that he is not one of us. He only cares about Batman. In order to keep it secret for ourselves, I can only suppress my curiosity."
"Although those idiots stimulated me in the end, making my soul too active and evenly matched with the Joker, resulting in the fusion process being too smooth and not deceiving you, you should also reveal the truth, right?"
After speaking, DC Schiller looked up at the tower again and said, "Do you think I don't remember? When we first came here, the tower was not like this now."
"At the beginning, our complete personality fell from a height and was completely shattered, and this tower The tower is made of fragments. Our thinking tower has always been covered with scars. The porcelain made of fragments can never be exactly the same as the original one. "
"I was the first one to wake up when we just came here and regained consciousness. At that time, the ceiling I saw was still full of cracks, but those familiar cracks disappeared quickly. "
"I am one of the original sin personalities, and before I was split into two, I was the most powerful original sin personality. Other personalities could not have woken up earlier than me."
"And if someone woke up before me and repaired the tower, then it could only be the collective will of the personality, that is, you, the superego."
DC Schiller looked into the eyes of the superego and said, "I guess the mysterious power you used to repair the entire tower should be the same as the power you used to split me in two. Now, answer me, what is it?"
The superego standing there was silent for a while, but the DC Schiller in front of him was no longer the personality fragment that was completely under his control when it was split into two. As he said, complete arrogance is the most powerful personality fragment, no one else.
When a person's personality collapses, there are always things that cannot be forgotten. Even if the spirit has completely collapsed and the entire personality has been broken into thousands of pieces, there will still be certain characteristics rooted in the depths of the soul, which cannot be broken by knives and axes, and cannot be moved by storms.
For humans, greed is an unshakable nature, a characteristic that has been deeply engraved in the soul since infancy.
For Schiller, the arrogance brought by his innate superior wisdom and powerful abilities is a characteristic that cannot be erased and is the foundation of his personality.
Compared with the two, because of the special nature of greed that does not get up early without profit, complete arrogance is the undisputed strongest in the entire tower.
Only half of the pride has almost cured Batman, and it only took a few years. This can be called a miracle in both psychiatry and psychology.
Now, the pride is about to merge into one. If he refuses to float to the surface consciousness and stops greed from going up, the other personalities cannot be the opponents of the two of them. Then Schiller's body will be in a coma forever, which is not what the superego wants to see.
So, the superego sighed, turned and walked towards the elevator, saying as he walked: "In this case, I will take you to see it."
The two boarded the elevator in silence, and then the elevator went down all the way and stopped on one of the floors. Schiller looked up and saw a plaque with "Madhouse" written on it.
"Although the little guy is fierce, he is indeed a good bodyguard. Even if you want to break in, you may not make a noise." The superego refers to Moonlight Schiller, and DC Schiller naturally knows that, so it seems that the power that the superego refers to should be in the depths of the madhouse.
Sure enough, the superego led DC Schiller to the depths of the madhouse, while Moonlight Schiller just poked his head out of the ward and took a look. Seeing the figure of the superego, he did not stop him and retracted his head.
In the deepest part of the madhouse, there was a door with a huge chain hanging on it. In the center of the door, there was a keyhole with a strange shape. The superego took out something and pressed it. Arrogant Schiller did not see it clearly, but only saw that it did not seem to be an ordinary key, but a thin piece of iron.
The iron chain was removed, the door opened, and the scene in the room made DC Schiller's eyes widen in shock.
The room was very small, with only a bed, a table and a chair. The bed was facing the door, and lying on the bed was another him.
What shocked DC Schiller so much that he was speechless and felt cold on his back was that the self lying on the bed had been disemboweled, his abdomen dug out and his heart cut out, and he had lost a whole arm and half a leg. One of his eyeballs also disappeared, and he was as broken as a victim lying on an illegal human experiment table.
Just after DC Schiller instinctively walked into the room, the door behind him closed with a "bang". The superego standing next to the experimental table sneered.
DC Schiller narrowed his eyes and stared at him intently, but soon, the superego smiled brightly and said, "It seems that my acting is good. Did it scare you?"
After that, he turned around, pointed to the chair behind the table next to him and said, "Sit down. Now, we can talk about the truth you want."
Arrogant Schiller's muscles were tense, and his fingertips were still shaking. He looked at the broken body of Schiller on the bed and asked, "...Who is he?"
The superego smiled again, took out the plate and knife and fork from under the table, placed them on the table, and then said, "You should be familiar with him because you are the first to know him."
"You can call him 'Schiller'. Of course, we are all Schiller, but before, he had another name..."
The superego paused, and DC Schiller stared at him intently. The superego smiled and said to him:
"We call him-System."
