The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1432 Research on Manipulation ([-])
"The title of Bandage Killer satisfies Elliott, but it's not enough, because what he really wants is - Batman."

"I don't know what kind of misunderstanding he has about the identity of Batman, but since he values ​​​​the title so much, I don't mind giving it to him."

"But I can't go up to him and say, you go to be Batman, I go to jail, and his not very bright brain can tell that this must be a trap."

The red-eyed Bruce leaned back further, arms outstretched in a stance of complete relaxation, and said, "So I devised a series of more complex traps, first by making him pass through an article published by the Serial Killer Club." , I learned that there is a killer in Gotham who is very good at skinning, and he is called the 'Unknown Lady'."

"She has a collection of thousands of different human skins, each of which is flawless, which has a wonderful appeal to Elliott, because he hates his own destroyed face."

"It just so happens that in the newly built Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, this unnamed lady happens to share a laboratory with another killer 'puppet master' who is good at performing plastic surgery, and Elliot broke into it. At that time, they should be doing research on subcutaneous tissue activity."

"I've prepared my tissue samples for the unknown lady and the puppeteer, so they reproduced for Elliott a face exactly like Bruce Wayne's, more like me than me."

"Of course, what needs to be solved is his prosthetics, but it's much easier than making a new face. Elliott will not let go of the puppeteer's collection warehouse, and there happens to be a A perfect mechanical leg that adapts perfectly to his condition, and no one will see that his leg is abnormal."

"When he walks out of there, he's Bruce Wayne, but he's not going to let it go like this, and there's one last thing he's left to do, which is to kill the guy who got away with it The little girl from the farmer's family who escaped from his hands, because she is the only survivor, and Elliott has to solve this hidden danger if he wants to start a new life as Batman."

"I put on a bat suit and pretended to be chasing him all the way. I met him at the home of the survivor's little girl, Belika, but he took Belika as a hostage first."

"In order to save this innocent little girl, I cut my own face with a Batarang and told him all the passwords Batman had, and then I was knocked to the ground by him until the FBI agents came after me and killed her." Escorted me to the helicopter."

"From then on, the lives of Elliott and Bruce have been reversed. Elliott will become Wayne, the richest man in the world, the hero Batman of Gotham, and Bruce will replace him as a bandage murderer, committing crimes for him. to pay for his numerous crimes.”

"Not surprisingly, although Thomas Elliott killed many people, he was still not up to the standard of solitary confinement in this prison. Amanda put the bandage killer into a group cell. I have three roommate."

"Fortunately, it's a fairly standard prison configuration, with one of the four being very strong and one being particularly vulnerable."

"I chose Jimmy as the target, intensified the conflict between him and the big dog, and imposed some psychological hints on him, standing on the side of the big dog at the last moment, making him feel alone and helpless, so he fought desperately."

"The whole process is not difficult, but like I said, killing the big dog is not difficult. If I do it, I will be much cleaner than Jimmy."

"Then what's the point of all this? Just to follow the formalism, don't you kill people yourself?"

"But we all understand that the moral shackles are long gone, at least not in one of Bruce Wayne's personality traits."

"If that's the case, why do we use this complicated, thankless, and overly sophisticated way to manipulate others?"

"I think the method is wrong." The gray-eyed Bruce said: "There must be a better method, as simple and quick as instinct, our purpose is to find out this method, find out its key, and then change For our instincts."

The discussion in the spiritual world fell silent, and the Bruces understood that the answer could not be reached by discussing theories.

As a result, the two extra figures slowly disappeared. When Bruce opened his eyes, his pupils were covered with bloodshot eyes, and only a little blue remained in the center of the bloodshot eye due to injury. If you look closely, there are only cruel and cold red eyes.

In the dark corridor of the prison, the prison guards were still pacing, hitting the railings with batons, making annoying noises.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

Red blood covered the edges of the blue eyes, which were much cloudier than those clear ocean-like blue eyes. When Elliott woke up, he saw the dissatisfied expressions of a group of people.

"Bruce, what's the matter with you?! You are a big brother now! Luther and Pamela are your juniors, can't you set a good example for them? If you don't hand in your papers, the group will sleep. If you don't want to read Just say it!"

Victor tapped the table vigorously with the pen in his hand, threw a stack of papers in front of Bruce and said, "Look at what you wrote in your results this week?! And I asked you to study that What about the progress? What about the report?"

"It's fine if your own project didn't progress, didn't you promise your junior and junior sisters to help them advance? Why are the two of them still like this this week? The progress of the three of you is even more tidy than the progress of the three of you!"

Victor stood up from the table, raised his voice and said, "Haven't you guys figured out what's going on now? I have to take you to the Arkham Psychiatric Hospital to face Professor Schiller, right?" ?”

"Aside from him being angry, do you think I'm a soft persimmon, that's why I gave you three pieces of shit when I urged you four or five times a week?!"

Pamela listlessly put her chin on the table, and muttered, "I told you I have no funds. The last time the cabbage was planted, the people in the laboratory next door were beat up in less than two weeks. The medical expenses are all gone." Lost all."

"Then you can't grow some plants that are crazy and can't kill people?! When you choose cabbages, I told you, don't choose plants with long leaves!"

"And, how many times have I emphasized that any plant may go crazy at any time when it arrives in Gotham, why don't you bring a freezing gun when you enter the cultivation room?!"

There was a burst of suffocated laughter, and Victor immediately glared at Lex and said, "Are you embarrassed to laugh?! Lex Luthor, when you were working under Schiller, you were working on the Ark Reactor. Come work under me and start working on it." Sociology, you are quite rebellious?!"

Lex also lowered his head and stopped talking. The other graduate students were all trembling, for fear that their professor of physics would take out the freezing gun on his waist and freeze them here. It's not uncomfortable to be frozen, the main thing is that it's too embarrassing.

Victor paced around the table with his hands behind his back, and then set his eyes on Elliott's face again. He became more and more angry as he looked at him. He took out the freezing gun, and with a "whoosh", an ice pick smashed Elliott's face. Otto was frozen there.

Elliott didn't react at all. In his eyes, Victor was not Freeze, but just an ordinary college teacher in the daily life that Batman had to deal with. Elliott planned to sleep The entire group meeting was only able to have the energy to go out to be Batman at night, but he was frozen before he could react at all.

The group meeting was over, and Victor didn't intend to unfreeze. After everyone went out, Victor slapped the table and said, "Let Mayor Roy move you to the building, just to let your fans Let's see the heroic posture of Batman sleeping in the group meeting!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and left angrily, leaving Elliott in the ice with a dazed expression, unable to break free at all.

Fortunately, Victor didn't intend to let him spend the night here. The ice cracked around midnight, and Elliott fell directly to the ground, hitting his head on the leg of the chair.

He stood up covering his head, cursed in a low voice, and walked out of the empty conference room. Elliott stood blankly at the gate of Gotham University, he didn't even know where else he could go.

First of all, Wayne Manor is inaccessible. He has already tried it. Thomas is also Batman after all. He directly installed an automatic security system on the gate of Wayne Manor, and Elliott couldn't even get close.

Secondly, all bank cards and credit cards under Bruce Wayne's name have been frozen, so even if Elliott has the password, he can't swipe the card to stay in the hotel.

Not to mention the laboratory and the mysterious outer space base, Elliott's IQ is not bad, it can even be said to exceed the level of ordinary people, and his academic performance is also good, but only limited to university knowledge.

But there are only two kinds of people in Gotham University now, either purely illiterate people who give up completely, or super geniuses who can rename a series of awards with their surnames.

It is impossible for Elliott to mix with those purely illiterate people, but he is completely out of touch with geniuses. He can't understand any of the projects that Bruce took over before, and he doesn't even dare to talk to Lex and Pamela. Do more communication, otherwise a few words will reveal the truth.

Elliot thought that the difference between him and Batman was only appearance, as long as he had the appearance of Batman, he could completely replace him and inherit his wealth, status and fame.

And he still has another idea, that is, if he becomes Bruce Wayne, he will do better than Wayne, and he will also do better than Batman. Can save the city better than Bruce and Batman.

Elliott thinks that Bruce is not doing business. He fantasizes that as long as he is on his own, he will actively develop business, expand charity, and help orphans. As long as the media actively promotes it, everyone will believe in him as the savior of Gotham.

Elliott also believes that Batman is too indecisive, so he should create weapons of mass destruction to kill gang leaders, bring every street into his jurisdiction, and those lunatics have no chance of entering a mental hospital. Just catch them all and kill them all.

He can let his bat wings penetrate into every class of Gotham, and then completely control the city, becoming the city of darkness, the real king of Gotham.

Elliott thought that this road would not be smooth sailing, maybe that unlucky loser would still find him, constantly interfering with his great career, maybe there were still many difficult villains that he needed to solve by himself.

But the reality is crueler than he thought, or it's not cruel, but the reality is too realistic.

It's not how to outwit and catch super-criminals, how to dominate Vanity Fair, how to dominate the business world, how to negotiate with gangsters to bow their heads, or even how to subdue a street fight is what's bothering this imposter now.

Instead, an adult in his 20s still has to be supervised by his father, chased by his teacher for a paper, no money to take a taxi, no place to live, and it starts to rain but can't find an umbrella. These embarrassing and ridiculous real problems.

If it is said that Batman's series of experiences in the slums were only because he wanted to imitate the life of civilians, and he was unwilling to use his genius brain to make himself extremely embarrassed, then these absurd experiences that Elliot suffered Disaster, purely because of his food.

But the gap between a genius and a fool lies not only in IQ, but also in the subtle and keen observation of one's own situation and thinking about the causes of the environment.

Bruce carefully observed the real life situation of ordinary people who are cautious and can't make mistakes but still fall unstoppably, and began to think about its causes.

And Thomas Elliott, he started cursing, why couldn't Bruce give him the brain that could solve everything.
