Chapter 2864: The Battle of the Little Brick People! (XVIII)
Schiller walked down the spiral staircase, looking at the scene helplessly. He shook his head and said, "I have probably guessed the truth that the life factor cannot be regenerated."
The three of them stared at him, but Schiller said helplessly, "I can't tell you directly, because I don't know how to say it without causing any problems and involving the entire universe, but there is one person who may be able to tell you."
Batman stared at him intently, and Schiller said, "Where did you get Deadpool?"
"I locked him up in a workshop at a chemical plant because he was too noisy."
"There are benefits to arguing. Let them go. We have to go to the chemical plant together and get Deadpool back. Only he can explain to you what is going on."
Batman stared at him for a while, then pressed the remote control in his hand again. Wonder Woman was put down first. As soon as she grasped the Lasso of Truth at her waist, Schiller suddenly raised his voice and said, "As you can see, I am Batman's newly hired psychiatrist."
Wonder Woman paused, she looked at Schiller and said, "Batman needs a psychiatrist? Clark, this is all your fault! He must be feeling heartbroken because we held a party without him!"
After the kryptonite was put away, Superman flew up again. He didn't do anything, but just stared coldly at the main universe Batman.
"You may think that his words and actions were a little strange before, that's because I taught him some social skills, and he just wanted to use these skills to win back your hearts."
"We haven't changed our minds." Wonder Woman said, "We just had to do it because of the plan."
"But you know how sad he would be."
Superman and Wonder Woman looked at each other, and Wonder Woman said, "Okay, you've convinced me, but you have to assure me that you're not kidding when you say someone can tell the truth. We really don't have much time."
"According to the original plan, this party was to discuss how to completely deal with the criminals in Phantom Prison and Arkham Asylum. We hoped to eliminate as many criminals as possible before we were thrown into the recycling pool so that Batman could free up his hands to investigate the truth about the origin of the world. Unexpectedly..."
"Don't be too depressed." Schiller said, "I think the current situation is just right. You will understand when you know the truth."
The four of them fell silent, no one wanted to argue anymore, Batman started a small fighter plane and flew him and Schiller towards the chemical plant, while Superman and Wonder Woman followed behind and flew on their own.
They finally found Deadpool, who was gagged and still cursing, in a remote workshop in a chemical plant. However, when he saw the three giants of the Justice League gathered together, Deadpool completely forgot the anger he felt when he was kidnapped by Batman. He jumped up excitedly and said, "Is this the test to join the Justice League? Can I become an intern now?!"
Then he took out a camera from somewhere and started taking pictures crazily with the three of them. Batman seemed to want to tie him up there.
"Okay, Wade," Schiller called his name, and then said, "Now I need you to tell them something."
"What's the matter?" Deadpool was stunned.
"First of all, why do you want to join the Justice League? Because you're just?"
"Of course it's for popularity! You know, here we have Superman, the founder of superheroes, Batman, the most popular superhero, and Wonder Woman, the most popular female superhero! Of course I have to join them, so that I can become a top hero and the most popular celebrity!"
"So being popular is important to you, right?" Schiller asked.
"Of course!" Deadpool said with eyes wide open, but then he looked around furtively, lowered his voice, and said to the air: "Popularity is very important. I'll tell you a secret. Without popularity, you will die miserably!"
"What nonsense is he talking about?" Wonder Woman frowned, and the other two people also seemed confused.
"Then tell me, what would happen if you lost your popularity?" Schiller was still guiding Deadpool.
"What else can I do? If I am completely forgotten, my soul will be shattered. If I am simply unpopular, I will probably be forgotten and decay in a corner. If I was once popular but fell into decline, my life will probably stay at that moment forever and never move forward."
Schiller thought to himself, as expected, Deadpool can't explain it too clearly, he can't just say that if the comics lose popularity they will be discontinued, if the movies lose popularity there will be no sequels, if the toys lose popularity no one will buy them or play with them, so naturally the only way out is for them to be forgotten in a corner and slowly rot.
"What if it's popular?"
"Of course it's like this celebrity!" Deadpool jumped up and started talking to the air above his head: "Although there is no progress in my personal publication, I was in a movie recently. Did everyone go to see it? I am the standard No. 1 male star. As for the guy with long claws, humph, he is just a rehash!"
Although most of Deadpool's words are crazy, I recall that Schiller said before that there is someone who can tell the truth. Is this the truth? What is the so-called popularity?
Schiller had almost figured out what he could and could not say, so he said, "You can understand that we are now in a game..."
Schiller stopped Batman and said, "I'm not talking about the Doujie game, I'm talking about their universe."
"If in a higher dimension, a group of people use voting to decide the life and death of the universe, what do you think will happen to the universe that does not receive enough votes?"
Superman seemed to gradually understand, and he said, "You mean we are the ones who were voted out?"
"You may just not be selected, or you may have been selected, but then more and more universes were cast up and you were ignored." Schiller chose his words carefully, determined not to say anything about the truth of this world, but just made metaphors.
"So the original power of our world will not be regenerated." Wonder Woman said in disbelief: "How can they be so cruel?!"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but it's just that cruel."
Schiller couldn't explain to them that this was a market choice, and commercial behavior has always been cruel. If the response is good, they will continue to shoot, and if the response is not good, it will be forgotten aside. There will be no sequels, and the product will not sell well. How can there be anything new?
Schiller spread his hands and said, "If it goes as expected, the origin of the world now will simply not be able to regenerate, and will gradually disappear and die slowly until all human parts are completely decayed, and this universe will no longer exist."
"What should we do?" Wonder Woman said anxiously, "How can we get them to vote for us?!"
Schiller touched his chin and thought, in fact, the fighting world is a good place to make the universe popular again. Since this building block world has been included in the scope of the copy, it can actually become popular again.
But this was the first copy they had experienced after all, and they had no practical experience in how to bring these almost forgotten universes back to life.
Schiller thought about it and proposed a solution from his perspective. He said: "You can think of these people with voting rights as hedonistic beings who actually just want to get pleasure from observing the situation in various universes."
"So the situation in our universe makes them unhappy? But we clearly didn't do anything." Wonder Woman argued.
"No, you did it." Batman from the main universe suddenly spoke. He had been thinking silently for a long time. In fact, even as a person in the game, he could use his amazing wisdom to keenly grasp the key to the matter.
"Your previous generation chose to sacrifice themselves in order to replenish their life factors. If I'm not mistaken, they jumped directly into the chemical pool."
"Yes, but that's all for..."
"No, no matter what their reasons are, this behavior is no longer acceptable." Schiller was inspired by Batman. He said, "You can understand that people with voting rights also have various ages. You are only liked by people of one age group, and people of this age group do not accept such stories, so..."
"That's why they didn't vote for us," Superman said, "because we just want to keep the world going and fight for our existence."
"I'm afraid they can't understand it," Schiller said. "They just think what you do is dark and horrible, so they don't want to elect you."
"Should we give in then?" Superman asked, "pretend we know nothing and continue living happily like this?"
"You're thinking the wrong way." Schiller walked over, put his arm around Superman's shoulders and said, "How can you not feel irritated at work? Isn't it all about making money? When you make a lot of money, won't you be able to live the way you want?"
"Besides, can it be worse than you two jumping into that pool of chemicals together? Isn't it just a show for those people? This is much easier than the work that people in many universes have to do."
Superman was skeptical, and Schiller advised: "At least you have to think about it. If Batman follows your original plan and is left alone, how lonely he would be. You know he is afraid of loneliness."
"Besides, don't you want to see Batman's progress?" Schiller looked at Superman and said, "You're getting more comfortable with him now, right? If you continue to get along with him, I believe you will find surprises."
Superman seemed a little hesitant, but Wonder Woman was very open-minded. She said, "I'll accept any method as long as it can save the world. But I still don't have any idea. How can we get them to vote for us?"
"Of course we'll maintain your previous style," Schiller said. "Forget about that cruel recycling program. Let's rewrite everything to be a little easier."
"But the previous generation of superheroes will never come back." Superman pursed his lips and said, "The same goes for the Waynes."
"That's not necessarily true." Schiller smiled and said, "Everything can have a more relaxed explanation."
"You want to lie? But lies are lies after all. The dead cannot be resurrected. Sooner or later, they will be exposed."
"That's not necessarily true." Schiller smiled. He and the main universe Batman looked at each other and came up with the same solution.
Why are there always prophets who can guess the plot?
I was struggling for a long time whether to change it...
