Chapter 3183: Detective is about to die (Thirty-four)

Greed feels that he and Batman are incompatible.

As mentioned before, arrogance is the detective type, while greed is the mastermind type. It is understandable that the two of them don't get along, and it is normal for them to trip each other up.

But the main universe Batman is the most typical Batman. He is also a detective type, and his motivation is much greater than his arrogance.

In most cases, arrogance has a kind of laziness. To put it simply, it is a push and a move. When nothing happens, it sits idle, and when something goes wrong, it takes a gamble.

But Batman is not like that. He is a highly motivated detective who plans ahead of time, and his best preparation method is the exhaustive method.

The detective method Batman most often uses is to block all the paths of a person or a thing, leaving a hole for the other party to drill into, and then wait for him on the other side after the other party has gone through it with great effort.

Greed is exactly the kind of mastermind who likes to dig holes everywhere. He never goes down one path to the end, but prefers to create various branches on a main line. Every action he takes will have side issues, and he will often do many meaningless things to interfere with vision, just to make people unable to see his real purpose.

If greed is best at spinning a huge ball of yarn and wrapping everyone in it, then Batman is best at building a huge loom and weaving all the yarn into his own preparations.

It can be said that the behavioral logic of these two people is exactly opposite. They use exhaustive method to fight exhaustive method, and use negative infinity to fight positive infinity. It would be strange if greed could have any good effect on Batman.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that it was arrogance that stayed in DC. If it was greed, I don’t know how many brain cells would have died.

Even though the Bruce in Schiller's universe is relatively young, judging from the greedy speed of development, he will probably meet the Batman of the main universe within five years. Only then will be the real nesting doll battle. In another sense, I predicted your prediction.

In fact, compared to arrogance, the core of greed is closer to Batman's nemesis, the Joker, who is equally paranoid, crazy, and motivated.

It's just that Greedy has no interest in torturing someone specifically. As long as he wants to entangle Batman in his ball of yarn and Batman doesn't want to be entangled in his ball of yarn, the two will definitely be in an antagonistic state.

This game is actually the first head-on collision between Greed and the main universe Batman, and the result is obvious.

Greedy's plan was largely successful. He started with an outrageous idea, and then set up a maze step by step to lure most of the players into his experimental base. With these players in hand, Batman would inevitably be wary.

But Batman was not unprepared. He took advantage of the extremely short time that arrived after the game officially started to glimpse part of Greed's conspiracy. He escaped completely from Greed's control and became the biggest destabilizing factor in the overall situation.

And due to the tacit understanding between Batman and the Joker, the Joker also deviated from the greedy plan, which means that the two most dangerous people in this game were not entangled in the ball of wool, which would undoubtedly become the biggest hidden danger.

But this is far from being a serious show, it can only be regarded as a shallow test. To be fair, it can barely be considered a draw.

If only Batman escapes, he will suffer a small loss, because his moral bottom line is significantly higher than greed. If greed leads players to control the princes, he will be restrained.

But the Joker also ran away, and the two rivals were out of Greedy's sight at the same time, which basically brought the situation back to a balanced state.

Because Greedy can threaten Batman with the players in his hand, but cannot threaten the Joker. In this case, even if Batman has some reservations, Greedy has to guard against the Joker tearing his face off and attacking, so the effect of the threat is greatly reduced.

Although the situation ended in a draw, Greedy knew that he had an advantage at the start, because he had learned from the Transcendent that he was the first to enter the game and had been in the game longer than anyone else, so he could do more things.

Batman was more than a step slower than him, but he was able to bring the situation back to a basically balanced state through his own investigation and foreshadowing. He had already lost half of this game.

Greedy ignored the smile on the agent's face. He glanced at the others. He didn't believe that they had no idea about the current situation, but how much had they guessed and what countermeasures they had, Greedy wanted to know now.

But his gaze stopped on Bruce's face halfway because he found that Bruce was distracted again.

Ever since he chose the skill of psychoanalysis, he often started to lose focus.

No, to be precise, Bruce has been distracted since Greedy determined that it was not Hubris who was now controlling Schiller's body.

Greed felt that Pride was definitely going to cause trouble for the Transcendent, but he also knew that the main reason why Pride was so angry was not because the Transcendent used his innate skills without paying him copyright fees.

It can be said that the Transcendent copied his talent to anyone except Bruce. In fact, Arrogance doesn't care. If Schiller hadn't opened up the authority of the Mind Tower to the Transcendent so that the other party could build the Fighting World System faster, the Transcendent would have nowhere to copy even if he wanted to, and it was reasonable that he would be copied.

And even if it is copied, the essence cannot be copied. At most, a form of expression is copied. This form is a talent for Schiller, but it is a disaster for others. Anyone whose perspective becomes similar to that of the Outer Gods will make people feel crazy and unreasonable.

You call this psychoanalysis? Then all the great masters of psychology in the world must have come from mental hospitals.

But the Transcendent gave this talent to Bruce.

It's no secret that Pride went to such lengths to prevent Bruce from following his path, and the price of madness in exchange for the gift of psychoanalysis is hardly worth it to Batman.

Batman's wisdom and ability of behavioral analysis are enough for him to deal with everything in this world, so why should he become a madman?

It took Arrogance ten years to keep Bruce away from this path, but you, the Transcendent, kicked him back overnight. If Arrogance doesn't bother you, who else will it bother?

This matter can be said to be a problem of the Transcendent, but in essence it is due to Bruce's special nature of Pride, so Greedy and Suspicious, Pride went to find Bruce after going to find the Transcendent.

In the Doujie game, the passage to the Kingdom of Dreams cannot be used, but the Transcendent is the administrator, and he can go to anyone's spiritual space he wants.

Greedy also knew something about this guy. On the surface, he acted like a big shot, but in fact, he fell to his knees faster than anyone else. He also loved to watch fun and was a man who was always looking for trouble.

If Pride intended to drag him to find Bruce, he might not refuse to give in. He might even give Pride the opportunity just to watch the fun they had.

That's why Greedy said before that Bruce's analysis had better not be a parrot, because he always felt that it sounded a bit arrogant.

Greedy looked at Bruce deeply, and looking into his clear blue eyes, he seemed to vaguely see several figures having a pleasant conversation, one of whom was Pride who had disappeared for a long time.

But there is more than just arrogance in Bruce's mental space.

In a space that looked like the lobby of Wayne Manor, there were several figures sitting around a fireplace.

On the big sofa, the Transcendent in white uniform was leaning on the right armrest, while on the left sat an old man holding a storybook and a horned helmet on the table beside him. It was Loki, the God of Stories.

On the single sofa on the other side, a man wearing a retro suit, a mustache, and Mickey Mouse ears on his head was Walt Disney, drinking coffee with a smile on his face.

Arrogant, still wearing his black suit, sat opposite him, slowly cutting a cigar. On the chair next to him sat a tall black man with a circle of golden lines around his eyes. He was the Black Pharaoh, the incarnation of Nyarlathotep.

The archangel Lucifer, still wearing a holy robe, was squatting beside the fireplace and adding firewood. The flame burning in the fireplace was not an ordinary flame. The images flickering in the flames were Bruce's first-person perspective.

At this moment, Pride was talking to the fireplace like a madman.

"Your eyes need to be clearer. Greed can almost see my hair through your eyeballs. Bruce, can you focus your eyes?!"

"I have no idea!" Bruce's voice came from the fireplace. He said, "I have been trying to analyze the representative colors of the emotions you mentioned."

"You're Batman, can't you multitask?"

"This game has limited my intelligence! My thinking speed is so slow now that I can't even think of a single line of thought!"

"But when your wisdom was not restricted, you were not much better." Arrogance threw the cut pieces into the fire and said, "At first I blamed the Transcendent, but now I have to thank him. He made me realize that your talent for psychoanalysis still has room for improvement."

Before Bruce could say anything, Arrogance shouted again: "Look ahead! Look at that blue line! That is greed and anxiety!! Reach out and grab it... I'm not asking you to really reach out! Use your mind to touch it! Then use your reason to analyze it..."

The blue line slowly approached, and then the picture became more chaotic. Sometimes it was blue sky and white clouds, and sometimes it was the surging deep sea. It seemed as if all the blue in the world had merged together, making people feel waves of coldness and melancholy.

"What did you feel?"

"I feel very cold."

"Other than that?"

"Uh, it's very confusing. I can't explain it clearly. There are too many thoughts mixed together." Bruce's voice came intermittently. It seemed that he was analyzing those thoughts while speaking. However, because it was difficult to work in multiple threads now, his expression and the dialogue in his mind were disconnected.

"Do you feel the uneasiness behind these images?"

"Honestly, I can't tell what he's worried about. Is he afraid of both heights and swimming?"

"When you see the sky, you are afraid of heights. When you see the deep sea, you are afraid of swimming? Bruce, why can't you learn to be more emotional?"

"Didn't you ask me to analyze it rationally?!"

"You have to experience it with emotion first. Didn't you say you felt very cold? What kind of emotion did this coldness bring out in you?"

"Let me try to find something to wear."

"What if you can't find it?"

"Then forget it."

"What do you mean? Imagine your despair in the cold and isolated environment! How does that make you feel?"

"Feeling...desperate?"

"I mean what does this desperation make you feel!"

"Despair is despair. I am already in despair. What other emotions can I have?"

Arrogance put down the eighth cigar he had just cut and said, "That means something is beyond your control. This kind of despair, like being in the cold under the ice and snow, represents a sense of powerlessness beyond your control, exposure, loneliness, and abandonment."

"Oh." Bruce responded and then said, "So he was abandoned by the Batman of the main universe? Will he go find him?"

"You make me feel like I'm pushing a wheelchair up the stairs," Pride said.

"Is it difficult for you because I'm too heavy for you to push me?"

"What makes it hard for me is that you're not in a wheelchair at all!"

Everyone else went about their business with expressionless faces, not surprised by the situation as this discussion had been repeated for the eighth time.
