Chapter 1259: The Farm of Justice (Forty-One)

"Sit down."𫰛

Schiller, who was sitting in the main seat, turned his head and pointed at the seat on the left. Although Bruce walked over, his body language still seemed a little stiff, but he was not the only one who was nervous. Greedy Schiller, who was sitting in the chair on the right, stared at Bruce closely.

"What are you doing here?" Greedy asked.

"He is here to complain."

"I am not here to complain."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and then Schiller's low laughter came.

Bruce turned his head and looked at Schiller, who was sitting in the main seat. The colorful suit and tie were the most recognizable features. This sick Schiller seemed to like to dress himself up, but this was not surprising.

Bruce had read in books about criminal psychology that most serial killers have a certain narcissistic complex. They admire themselves, love themselves, and think they have unparalleled beauty. They will dress themselves up with bright feathers like birds in the courtship period. This behavior is not divided by gender or age. 𫰛

But in essence, they are not dressing themselves up, but camouflaging traps, waiting for prey to be attracted by bright colors and jump into their mouths without any defense.

All creatures have the instinct to appreciate beauty. Beautiful things can easily make people relax their vigilance. The idea of ​​appreciating beauty will also squeeze rationality, making it easier for people to ignore traps.

Although Bruce has sounded the alarm bell in his heart ten thousand times, when he saw Morbid Schiller for the first time, he still sighed in his heart that the dark blue suit suited him very well, as did the white sideburns.

"Okay, you are not here to complain." Morbid agreed with Bruce's words without any rebuttal, but this made Bruce's hair stand on end, because Morbid continued: "But why didn't you feel angry when you heard others complain about your teacher?"

Bruce slowly lowered his head, but soon raised his head again, looked at Morbid's face, and bared his teeth.

He laughed morbidly and deeply and said, "Okay, I didn't mean to suppress you... but you still felt guilty just now, right?"

"Let's talk about business." Greedy seemed very impatient. He stared at Bruce's face and said, "I am the same person as Pride. What's wrong with me complaining about him? But you, you are also in the same group as Pride. If it weren't for you, his work and rest schedule would be half as normal!"𫰛

"Last night, Lucifer called me." Bruce readjusted his mood and said, "He said Schiller's work and rest schedule has been completely messed up, or in other words, he can no longer talk about any work and rest schedule, because he doesn't sleep at all."

"I know that this professor's work and rest schedule was not normal when he was in Gotham. He went to bed very late and never took a nap, but this was still within the acceptable range, but now it's a bit too much .”

“Victor also called me and said that Schiller went to treat Constantine again, causing him to almost become a vegetarian. His condition has not improved at all, and may even have gotten worse.”

Bruce’s tone revealed a hint of worry, and he asked while morbidly cutting the food on the plate: “Why do you think this is?”

Bruce pointed his finger at his chin and said: “I suspect that the change in living environment may have caused him to fall into anxiety again.”

“I know that most autistic people follow a regular life. They have an obsession with regular things in life, from what to do every day to what time to brush their teeth in the morning. It is best to have a certain regularity. This is the source of their sense of security.”

"But after the broccoli came to Gotham, Schiller's life pattern changed. He has undergone a great change. He went from Gotham University to Arkham Asylum, then to Florence Prison in Denver, and then to Seaside City. Such frequent changes in life may easily make him nervous. 𫰛

Bruce made a rigorous inference as much as possible, but morbidity neither confirmed nor denied him, just asked: "So, do you think this is just a short-term anxiety?"

"I know that in addition to anxiety, his long-term mental condition is not optimistic, but if you want to alleviate this situation, you must first solve the short-term anxiety, right?"

"The problem is that this is not a short-term anxiety." Greedy said: "He is indeed mentally unstable because his life routine has been changed, but it is not because of a change of environment. We are not as fragile as you think."

Bruce frowned, He asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

"Because of you."

Sickly raised his eyelids, looked at Bruce from above his eyes, then retracted his gaze and continued to look at the food on the plate and said:

"We and you can see that you are about to be cured. As your teacher, Arrogance can certainly feel it."𫰛

"A young bird that has been toddling and falling off the cliff repeatedly is finally leaving the nest successfully. This not only means that you will fly to a new sky, but also means a change in Schiller's life stage."

Bruce's Adam's apple moved, and he didn't know what expression was on his face.

But for some reason, looking at the two familiar faces in front of him, he felt very strange. He didn't know that he had such a meticulous observation ability that he could see hundreds of differences from these completely identical facial features.

Illness did not shy away from anything. He said directly: "Since Schiller came to this world, he has been trying to teach and treat you. Although it was only because of a special curse in the universe at first, it is this semi-forced The binding has changed the rules of life he recognized."

"In the following years, teaching healing and trying to change you became a part of his life. Yes, this process may be painful, but in fact you both gained a sense of security from it, didn't you?"

Ill sighed softly and said: "But now, the end of the stable life is just around the corner. It's like you are walking on a road, but someone keeps reminding you that there is a cliff in front of you. You know that you will definitely fall, but I don’t know at which step I will fall.”

Bruce pursed his lips. Just the scene described by Morbidity made him feel anxious, 𫰛

The most terrifying thing is not the fact that "you will definitely fall", but the tug-of-war between the hope brought by luck and the self-destruction brought by the destined bad ending when taking the next step, which is the so-called "spiritual". Internal friction".

"The overwork you see Arrogant doing, including looking for things to do, working non-stop, and staying up late every day, are actually him forcing himself to adapt to the upcoming changes in advance."

"He feels that he must find more things to do for himself in order to cope with the upcoming situation of missing a corner of his life, and we generally call this - retirement syndrome."

There was a smile in his morbid tone: "Human beings are so weird. They want to take a vacation when they are busy. They want to be busy even after they are completely retired."

"Essentially, when realizing social value, I want to find myself. I have time to find myself, but I feel that I have not realized social value." Greed commented: "I want social recognition and self-identity at the same time, so I said, Human nature is greed.”

"And, have you ever thought about why in the past few years, others don't seem to understand you very much and don't care much about Schiller's mental illness?" Ill asked Bruce, looking at him.

Bruce's eyebrows wrinkled slightly. For the first time since he came to this room, he looked directly at Illness. As if he wanted to get an answer, Illness took a sip of red wine and said: 𫰛

"When you were not cured, he put all his energy on you, but now that you are about to be cured, he can't destroy the fruits of his own labor, so he can only torture someone else."

"So Victor, Constantine, and Lucifer all became victims. The essence is that Schiller spread the energy of torturing you to other people, so they suddenly realized that Schiller was a mental patient at the same time. ”

Bruce showed a complicated expression. He didn't even know how to evaluate it. He was amazed at Schiller's power and wanted to gloat about his misfortune, but also thought that he was the most unlucky of all unlucky people, so he couldn't laugh. .

"Everyone thought that it was the mutual torture between Schiller and I that caused his mental state to be so unstable, but now it seems that it is just the opposite." Bruce said thoughtfully.

"The description of 'torture each other' is also open to question." Greedy rolled his eyes and said, "Arrogance didn't let us fill the hole in the ground on the first floor of the tower, just so that you could go to the dream world to sleep."

"So, what are you going to do?" Ill asked with interest.

"Originally we had a plan, but it was more traditional." Bruce gently touched his cheek with his hand, then supported his temples with his fingers and said: "To put it simply, control him first, and then find a place for him to rest and relax. Treatment is the way to treat ordinary mental patients.”𫰛

Before the other two could speak, Bruce explained: "Others don't know much about psychology. Both Clark and Diana believe that finding a place with a good environment to recuperate is the solution to all mental illnesses."

"In a sense, it is true." Greedy said: "But the premise is that a good environment not only refers to a good natural environment, but also a humanistic environment that makes patients feel comfortable and relaxed. The environment can bring benefits to patients. It’s the sense of security that makes healing work.”

"The arrogant sense of security comes from a regular life, but it is inevitable that the rules will be broken, so I'm afraid I need to recuperate..."

"Wait a minute." Bruce suddenly said: "Is it inevitable that the rules will be broken? Is it really inevitable?"

"What do you want to say?" Greedy narrowed his eyes and looked at Bruce and said, "Do you still want to go back to the days when you and he tortured each other? But with all due respect, I'm afraid it's not realistic for you to pretend to be crazy in front of your arrogance. , he knows Batman so well.”

But Bruce slowly opened his eyes wide, looked at Greedy with a look that was a little bright in the dark room, and said:

"But... there's more than one Batman."𫰛

Then, deep laughter sounded in the empty room. When Bruce woke up from his dream, the words of sick Schiller were still echoing in his ears:

"It seems that you have indeed been cured."

Bruce sat up from the bed. Clark, who was swinging the toolbox next to him, turned to look at him and said, "Are you awake? How did you sleep?"

Bruce didn't answer. He just rolled out of bed very quickly, rushed out of the room, strode into the only room with a phone in the village, dialed the number, picked up the receiver, and said to the other side:

"Hello? Professor Victor, I have found a way to treat Schiller, but I have to ask you to find someone for me."

"Looking for someone? Who?"

"Pamela Eisley."𫰛
