The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 940 Exploring Schiller's Past Journey

Zatana's spiritual magic requires almost no preparation. There is no long treatment process, no medical records, no records, and no patients are even required to be present. The helicopter just takes them to the safe room in the Batcave, Zatana said She is ready.

Batman narrowed his eyes at her and said, "Schiller isn't here, how do you get into his inner world?"

Zatanna shook her head and said, "Bruce, occultism is more magical than you imagined. In your impression, the spirit world may be another world hidden under the real world, which is no different from the real world."

"But in fact, the reason why the spirit world is called the spirit world is because it can communicate with people's souls, and the messengers who can walk in the spirit world can enter people's hearts."

"Then can you spy on other people's hearts at any time?" Batman asked, but this is not actually a question. His tone seemed very certain and vigilant, but Zatana shook her head and said, "No, Walking in the spirit world has to pay a huge price, not everyone is Constantine, who can fool a bunch of demons to pay the price for him."

Zatanna sighed and said: "Actually, before you and I broke up, I have already touched the threshold of magic, and I have tried to travel in the spirit world in my sleep. At that time, I ignored the advice of adults and thought that I have mastered the most magical powers in the world, and I can use them unscrupulously."

There was a trace of sadness between Zatanna's brows, and said: "The price of magic may not be paid overnight, it will penetrate into every corner of your life, and make your life and your future towards the abyss." Slip down."

"My father's disappearance was not an accident." Zatanna shook her head slowly and said, "This is the price we have to pay."

After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and looked up into Batman's eyes. She was very close to him, but felt that she could no longer see through those blue eyes. Zatanna said, "I can hear, I I can feel that you have too many unnecessary fantasies about occultism, promise me, Bruce, never take this step, otherwise, you will never be able to turn back."

"Control power, pay the price, in order to make up for the price paid, try to control more power, and then pay a greater price... This is magic." Constantine sat on the sofa beside him, and he said: "If you are not born If you are cursed like this, it is best not to get involved, everything I do is just to save myself."

"Since we are almost ready, let's start." Zatanna turned her head, as if she didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, she took two steps back and said to the two: "You better find a safe Sitting in the same place, when traveling in the spirit world, the body stays in place, so we must ensure the safety of the body, I have heard of more than one unlucky person whose body was eaten by their pets when they returned from the spirit world."

There was a "hissing" exhaust sound, and the door of the safe room was completely closed. Batman, Constantine, and Zatana were sitting on sofas in three directions. Zatana was chanting a mysterious spell, Soon, Batman felt that a hazy white mist enveloped the entire room.

He felt that his body became very light, and he had an urge to dance. He could no longer restrain the desire to move, so he stood up instinctively, and when he turned around, he saw that he was still sitting myself on the couch.

The same goes for the other two, but both of them are familiar with this, Zatanna waved and said: "Let's go, let's find Schiller's soul in the spirit world first, and then enter his memory."

Constantine and Batman didn't say anything, just let her carry out the plan, Zatana flew into the air, and Constantine and Batman followed her, shuttling through a misty space.

The spirit world is not empty, Batman found that he can still see the scene in the real world, but this scene seems to be covered with a layer of mist, and the colors become more gorgeous.

He could see that when he passed by the city, countless souls exuded all kinds of brilliance, the neon lights on the surface of the building flowed, and the wake brought by the flight flashed through the light, which looked psychedelic and gorgeous .

"You think this is amazing, don't you?" Constantine said while flying, "But in fact, the spirit world is much more dangerous than you think."

"The reason why this place looks so ordinary is because demons are unwilling to come to Gotham. If you change cities, you may encounter demons looking for food at any time, or local monsters from the spirit world."

Batman frowned, and Constantine continued to explain: "The spirit world seems to have existed since ancient times, and so do the monsters here, but I don't know why. The nameless monsters in the world have all disappeared.”

Hearing Constantine's words, Batman pursed his lips, but at this moment, Zatanna shouted: "I think we're almost there! See that light spot in front? That's Schiller's soul, he It should be in the laboratory of Gotham University..."

"He should indeed be at Gotham University." Batman said, and Zatanna stopped on the roof of a building, nodded and said, "It seems that it is him, let's get closer... my God, is that the green of all things?"

Batman followed Zatanna and stopped on the roof of a building. He saw that in the sky above the experimental building, there was an unknown monster made of vines. It was extremely huge and eerie. A thick vine inserted into the teaching building.

"The green of all things is going to deal with Schiller, so why did he chase him and kill me? Or, what kind of deal did Schiller reach with the green of all things?" Constantine asked a little puzzled.

"Okay, don't waste time, our goal is not the green of all things." Zatanna's hands began to light up, and then, she explained: "I will directly use spiritual magic to invade his soul, and at the same time, I will Pick the weakest link in his soul, simply put, the weakness in his memory."

"Human beings will have things they fear and hate, don't they? Everyone has some bad memories. In these memories, they have relatively weak control over their own souls, and we can take advantage of the emptiness and fabricate some A particular memory, or building a scene that works in our favor."

"And his reaction in these scenes will affect the actions in reality. For example, we can build a scene where he is poor and sells the umbrella, so that in reality, he will voluntarily take out the umbrella and Hand it over."

"Or, in the weaker link, we can virtualize a memory that he hates umbrellas very much, and let him throw away the umbrella himself. Of course, this will be a bit difficult, so it depends on the specific situation."

"Into the memory space, is there anything to pay attention to?" Batman asked.

Zatanna thought for a while and then said: "Remember, in each memory, there is usually a scene or item that can arouse his emotions the most. If we want to stimulate his weakness, we must find this item. The owner of the memory will have more intense emotions when facing this item, so we can use it to guide the other party."

"Once this item is found, the other party may have an extremely violent reaction because of being poked at the painful spot. At this time, we must find a way out quickly, otherwise, we may face terrible things."

"Of course, after we get this item, we can use it as a support point for fictional memory, and our first goal is to find this item."

"Where's the way out?" Batman asked again.

Zatana paused and said: "Generally speaking, it will be in a place where the other party is more resistant and unwilling to contact. As long as we can find it, we can get rid of that memory and go to a safer memory space."

"Okay, let's go." Zatanna waved her radiant hand in the air, a portal appeared, and the three of them walked in. Then, Batman felt that he had come to a road full of In the dimly lit tunnel.

He doesn't need to fly by himself, the light ball at the end is constantly sending suction, but at this time, he heard Zatana's scream.

"My God! Why is his memory so messed up??!! Hold on to me! Hold on to me! Otherwise we will be separated!!!"

Hearing his shout, Batman subconsciously wanted to grab her hand, but everything happened too fast, the light ball at the end was divided into three, and the huge suction force made the three of them move towards three different places. direction, was pulled over.

As soon as Batman stretched out his hand, he was instantly sucked into the ball of light in the center, and then lost consciousness.

It may have been a long time, or it may only be for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, Batman felt a strong white light flashing in front of his eyes.

After the initial trance, Batman found that he was lying on a hospital bed, and he was no longer wearing a bat suit, but a hospital gown.

He stood up from the bed, looked at the ward, and found that it was different from the ward in his impression.

This is a double room, and it looks a little messy at this moment. The bed next to him is skewed, the table between the two beds is overturned on the ground, and water glasses and sundries are scattered all over the floor.

Batman frowned. He saw that there was a patient's information hanging on the head of the next bed, so he went over to look carefully and found a few lines of Chinese written on it.

Batman knows Chinese, and he knows almost all mainstream languages ​​in the world, but the names and information written on it make him feel strange. The only information that can tell him is that this place seems to be a mental hospital in China.

Batman frowned slightly. He knew that he should be in Schiller's memory now, but why did Schiller go to a mental hospital in China?
At this time, Batman didn't feel that the bed next to him belonged to Schiller, because it was a very typical Chinese name, which didn't seem to be transliterated from English, so he looked around and began to look for clues in the room.

The whole ward is not big. The two beds are leaning against the left and right walls of the room. On the opposite side of the bed, there is a cabinet for storing personal belongings. In the middle of the two beds is a table, which is overturned on the ground at this time.

Batman first opened the curtains, but found that the scene outside the window was foggy, and he could hardly see any specific views. He guessed that this might be because the memory space had not expanded.

Batman then walks over to the overturned table, resets the table, and picks up the water glass from the floor.

But at this moment, he found that the bed next to him, that is, the direction of the hospital bed where he woke up, had a very smooth surface without any traces.

But on the other side of the table, there was a very obvious circular trace. Batman looked at the cups in his hand, and after placing one of the cups on the circular trace, the shape of the bottom of the cup and the circular trace completely coincided. Explain that this cup has always been placed here.

Batman leaned over to observe carefully, and he found that one side of the circular mark was darker, and the other side was shallower. He paused, sat on the hospital bed next to the table, put the cup on the circular mark, and turned his handle towards Own.

Then he discovered that if the cup was filled with water and held up with the handle, it would definitely cause the bottom of the cup without the handle to rub against the table. Therefore, the circular mark would be deep on one side and shallow on the other.

This clue tells Batman that the patient in this hospital bed may have obsessive-compulsive disorder. After all, judging from the overall depth of the circular mark, this patient has exactly the same movements every time he drinks water, otherwise, it would be impossible to leave such a deep mark trace.

While recalling the patient's series of actions, Batman froze for a moment, another scene appeared in his mind.

Batman walked to the side of the bed where there were no traces and sat down, watching the slightly old walls of the psychiatric hospital peel off, the wooden floor was pulled away one by one and turned into tiles, and the table changed from round to square. And Schiller, who was opposite him, was drinking a glass of water just sent by the gang boss.

When Schiller put the glass down, the crisp sound of the bottom of the glass touching the table was deafening, and Batman saw that Schiller turned the handle of the cup with one finger, and then turned the handle towards himself.

At this time, the length of the cup handle from the edge of the table, and the length of the circular trace from the table circle completely coincided.
