Chapter 3196: The Detective is about to die (Forty-seven)
Bruce had nothing to say and had to focus his attention on the confrontation between Greed and Night Owl. In fact, he did need more information about Night Owl, but what Greed had just said was not beyond Bruce's expectations. What he wanted was something more precise and to the point, or to be more precise, that kind of arrogant style of blind guessing.
But unfortunately, the biggest difference between greed and arrogance is that he never does business at a loss.
After saying this, Greedy didn't give Night Owl time to digest the thought, and he turned his attention directly to Bruce.
Bruce was frightened.
From Schiller's perspective, it is very interesting to listen to his sharp words that break down other people's defenses, but it would not be so wonderful if it was you who was being broken down.
Even if greed does not seem to be intended to be analyzed with psychoanalysis, behavioral analysis alone is quite deadly. No one wants their behavioral logic to be analyzed clearly and then served on the table. When smart people play games, being understood means being defeated.
Bruce understood the situation.
Greed can be used to analyze Night Owl, and naturally it can also be used to analyze Bruce. He is warning Bruce that if you still want to use Night Owl, you'd better prepare enough hush money. Otherwise, after my analysis, your image as "Hello Brother" will no longer stand.
No wonder he didn't use psychoanalysis right from the start. Greedy and sharp words cost money. Without the money, he can't show his true skills.
"And what's your story, Dr. Wayne?"
Bruce's brain was working at high speed. He was thinking about what kind of sincerity he could show to Greed so that he would let him go but not let Night Owl go.
As far as the game is concerned, what Greedy wants most right now should be his background story, but it is difficult for Bruce to tell it all because he is relatively familiar with this type of game. His background story has a significant impact on this world, which is his advantage.
But the risk of not telling the truth is also very high. Not to mention what would happen if greed exposed him, just the fact that he would talk about "Bruce's philosophy" again would probably ruin his relationship with Night Owl.
"Well, if I'm the last piece of the puzzle, I'd be happy to talk about it." Bruce pondered for a moment and said, "I am indeed a psychiatrist. I came here to study cases affected by abnormalities, but there is actually another reason. You should also know that my teacher was invited to treat the wife of the fleet owner."
"Did you make this up?" the Pale Knight frowned.
Because according to the information known now, the fleet owner is old Sirtek, and Greedy is young Sirtek, so the sick person should be Greedy's mother.
But they didn't collude when they made up the story, so how could they happen to be together?
Bruce shook his head and said, "No, in my backstory, my teacher just came here in pursuit of a case of a strange disease, and I followed him. The story of curing people should be fabricated by the Transcendent himself to connect our stories."
The Pale Knight nodded, accepting this statement, but he still said: "But I don't believe you are so passive. You should have some plans of your own, right?"
"Uh..." Bruce showed a slightly hesitant expression and said, "My teacher and I have different research directions. To be precise, they are completely opposite."
"Does inspiration come from life?" Greedy couldn't help asking.
Bruce glared at him but said, "The main disagreement is about the way weirdness affects the human soul. To make a long story short, although we both believe that weirdness itself affects the human spirit, the cause and effect relationship in our views is the other way around."
"What do you mean?"
"My teacher thinks that there is something wrong with the earth's magnetic field, which causes strange things to happen, and after the strange things happen, they affect people's spirits."
"What's your opinion?"
"There is something wrong with people's minds, which affects the earth's magnetic field and causes anomalies."
The others were silent, obviously thinking about this question. The Pale Knight was the first to speak: "Do you think the appearance of anomalies is idealistic?"
"To be precise, the human spirit's problems have summoned something here." Bruce said, "You can think of it as the embodiment of the influence of the collective unconscious on this world."
“I’m glad you know about the collective unconscious.” Greed said, “Your teacher would be proud of you, and so would Jung.”
"I don't understand." The Pale Knight said, "You two have completely opposite views. How can you be teacher and student?"
"Maybe this is fate." Bruce said.
Greed could no longer be contained, he looked at Bruce and said, "Inspiration comes from life, but you really don't have to force inspiration from your life. Dog shit is still dog shit after being cooked, and it may even stink worse."
"I'd love to." Bruce said confidently.
"But don't try to change the subject." Greedy said he didn't buy his talk at all, and continued to ask: "So who is your teacher?"
"It's the detective at the beginning." Bruce said, "No one stipulates that he can't have other jobs, and no one stipulates that he can't have students."
Greedy finally reacted, and he said, "So you helped me before the game started because you wanted me to help you kill Doggett and physically eliminate the other school?"
Bruce nodded.
Greed was speechless, but after thinking about it, he still asked: "You came here to kill your teacher?"
"Not exactly. Although it is indeed easy to destroy it physically, I also want to prove that I am right. I want to investigate the mental state of the villagers in this village to see if some people had mental problems first, and then the monster appeared."
"Did you find anything out of your investigation?"
"Do you think I have time to investigate?"
Greed suddenly remembered the house number 1913, and asked tentatively: "Have you investigated the origin of the strange phenomenon? I mean, does your setting involve this?"
"I can't say there isn't one at all." Bruce answered carefully, "I believe each of us has an opinion on this, but some people say it and some don't. I just mentioned in my theory that the original weirdness may have been summoned."
Greed knew that he was definitely hiding something, but he had revealed enough information.
Now basically most people's background stories are connected, and the only ones that are still unclear are probably the Joker and Schiller's.
"I'm more interested in that thing." The Pale Knight looked at the jar containing the corpse and said, "You said it was a Prowler? How did you do it? And why did you use it to feed the fish?"
"It's just some business plan," Greedy said.
"It's not that simple." Bruce also said: "You killed him, but you had to move his body to the cabin. It can't be that you did it just to scare us."
"I moved the body to the cabin to lure the prowler." Greed did not hide his words. He said, "Giving you a fright was just a side effect."
"But the house was burned down." The Pale Knight felt something was wrong. He said, "We were all standing guard outside the house when it burned. How did you move the body to the laboratory before it was burned?"
"Through the hole under the carpet, of course."
"Who helped you transfer it?"
"you guess?"
Schiller, who was with the main universe Batman, obviously also thought of this problem, but the difference was that he worked it out in reverse.
If the main universe Batman had known that Greed would not set himself up as a simple villain, would he not only allow Greed's plan to proceed, but even help him secretly?
Greed killed Doggett and threw the body into the cabin. The Wanderer happened to possess the body, and Schiller set the house on fire.
Logically speaking, the bodies should have been burned. After all, they watched the house burn down with their own eyes, and everyone was under the eyes of everyone else. It was impossible for them to suddenly disappear to help Greedy move the bodies.
It was precisely because it was Schiller who burned the house that he was sure that he had acted on impulse. Greed would not have allowed him to be prepared and wait for someone to be ready under the hole in the carpet.
In this situation, there are not many people who can rescue the corpse intact. To be precise, there is only one person, and that is Batman, who has the ability to control corpses.
Batman investigated Greed's plan in advance and knew that he was not just a simple villain, so it was possible for him to help him at this critical juncture. Using his ability to control corpses, he controlled Docter's body to jump out of the hole before it was burned by the flames, thus ensuring the integrity of the corpse. The key was to ensure the integrity of the Prowler.
"Do you know why he feeds monsters to fish?" Schiller asked Batman.
"This is related to a project of their company." Batman replied: "I don't know the details, but it seems that they do plan to produce a vaccine."
"Didn't you say it was a scam?" Schiller said, looking at Batman.
"I did say it was a scam in that letter, but that was just to give you a hint. Besides, the fact that this thing works doesn't affect the fact that it's a scam."
Schiller understood immediately that this was in line with the style of greed. Greed is very good at making a useful thing, but using it to cheat people out of money. Don’t worry about whether it is expensive or not, just decide whether it is useful or not.
"So that fish can really be used to make vaccines? How does that work?"
Batman shook his head, and Schiller wasn't sure whether he didn't know or didn't want to say.
"I really don't know the specific principles and plans, but that doesn't stop me from helping him." Batman said, his tone was very firm and he seemed very calm.
"No matter which Schiller it is, he is not my enemy, nor will he be the enemy of the world." Batman said in a firm tone, making Schiller feel that he was flirting.
"Why do you say that?" Schiller had to ask.
"Because what you want is always something specific, it could be money, emotions, papers, academic achievements, etc."
“I’m not as optimistic as you are,” Schiller pointed out. “There are also many of me who like abstract things, such as the feeling of control.”
"Is that how you divide it? But I think these are also some specific things. All the things you have clear goals for, and the things you want are specific. No matter how difficult these things are to obtain, it is difficult for them to cause any major harm."
"It sounds like you have a counterexample."
"Yes, a person who knows what he wants and then goes to get it cannot be called dangerous. Even if his name is Darkseid, I would only regard him as an enemy, not a danger."
"So what do you think the danger is?"
"Some people feel endless emptiness, but they don't know what they want, or they think what they are pursuing now is what they want, but it's not, like the Joker."
