The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

When the tremors came from the ground, Batman glanced at Merkel, Merkel covered his mouth, but in the next second, he turned around and greeted the demons and said, "Retreat! Listen to me, retreat!"

As soon as this syllable came out, all the demons seemed to have been turned on. They immediately put down their work and began to gather together, and then rushed towards the mine step by step. Their movements and reactions were so fast that the bats Xia also felt a little surprised.

Merkel also ran towards the depths of the mine, and Batman followed behind him. Because the reaction was too fast, before the magma even had time to erupt, all the demons retreated into the underground escape passage.

The escape passage was also above the magma, but because their speed was too fast, after all the demons passed through the escape passage, the magma gradually erupted, destroying the space inside the third mountain.

Withdrew into the mine at the bottom of the second mountain. Before everyone could catch their breath, a shuttle snake poked its head out of the corridor and said to Merkel: "Is it Comrade Merkel?" Comrade Alfred sent me to meet you, your amazing victory on the third mountain made the comrades on the second mountain feel very encouraged..."

Hearing the Soviet slang words spoken by the shuttle snake demon, Batman covered his eyes, and he looked back at the demon behind him who was still in shock and still a little distracted, and suddenly felt a little difficult to move.

Batman really doesn't want to bring the group of demons he brought to Alfred, just like he doesn't want to bring his credit report card back to him.

But there is no way, Merkel has already moved forward, and Batman can only move forward. When he saw Alfred, he was commanding a group of lava demons, moving huge logs to the top of the mine as a Support, strengthen the structure of the mine.

Alfred was also very happy when he saw Batman, he smiled, and then said: "I saw the central mine collapsed, as long as you are fine, it is really a miracle that you can persist there for so long. "

Batman was stunned, he didn't expect that Alfred would praise him so bluntly, he paused, but still said: "Actually, I borrowed from..."

"No matter what you learn from, being able to hold back elite demon soldiers for so long according to local conditions is enough to show your excellent level of tactical and strategic arrangements."

Batman, who was praised, didn't seem too happy, because he was full of doubts now. Alfred saw his state, and he winked at the shuttle snake next to him. Kerr and his army, along with Batman's army, headed deeper into the mines.

In the center of the mine, only Batman and Alfred were left. Alfred led Batman to the side of the log pile, where a bonfire was raised. A stone plate for grilling, with a well-cooked steak on it.

"Eat some, I got it from the overseer who manages the cafeteria, it tastes good." Alfred cut off a piece of meat with a sharp ore, and pushed it to Batman's side.

Batman paused, but did not eat, Alfred shook his head and said: "You have been like this since you were a child, if you are in a bad mood, you don't eat, it will make your stomach face a very bad situation. "

In front of Alfred, Batman appeared more fragile and childish. He seemed to be angry and moved away from the slate. Alfred smiled and said, "I guess, you are talking to Merck." I am puzzled by the results I have achieved, and feel that I am obviously smarter than him, but I can't lead this group of demons well."

Batman opened his mouth and closed it again, but then he said, "Well, that's one of the questions, but it's not really the case."

"What's that?" Alfred cut open the steak with a dagger, then forked it with a fork made of logs, and put it into his mouth.

"Actually, you have always...I mean, you have never given up on your ideals, you have long wanted to do this, right?" Batman looked at Alfred and asked.

Alfred lowered his head, but then nodded and said: "A person can never really give up his ideals. If he says he has given up, maybe he just buried his ideals in the deepest part of his heart and is unwilling to ask others mention."

"But it's not because I no longer believe it, nor is it because I'm ashamed to speak out, but a mature person should realize that when the time is not ripe, it's useless to shout more and louder."

"Why don't you..." When Batman said this, he seemed to feel that his tone was a little aggressive, and he seemed to be questioning, so he eased up and said, "Why have I never listened to you?" Said these things?"

Alfred looked into Batman's eyes and was silent for a long time, until his silence made Batman feel a little creepy, Alfred sighed and said: "When Thomas and Martha were still there, I It would be unrighteous to instill certain ideas into a child who doesn’t understand anything without telling them.”

"And after they passed away..." Alfred was silent for a while, Batman kept staring at him, and then he heard Alfred say: "Your mental state is really not suitable for another any further philosophical reflection."

Alfred spoke very tactfully, but Batman had already understood what he meant, and just as he was about to speak, Alfred said: "I know, at that time, you had a lot of questions, and you urgently needed Someone can answer it, but I can't let you go down this road at that time."

"If you learn this idea because you need a universal answer, use it as the only straw, and really feel that you have gained salvation from it, then in fact, this is no different from your belief in God."

Alfred looked at Batman with those old eyes, and there was a deep entanglement and pain in his tone.

"At that time, I can give you a key as a spiritual sustenance, but the price is that you will never be able to look at this kind of thought from an objective perspective."

Alfred's tone suddenly became a little excited, he pinched his hands on the edge of the rock slab, completely ignoring the heat on it, looked at Batman and asked, "...do you know what 'liberation' is?"

Batman shook his head slowly, and Alfred said very seriously: "The liberation of all mankind we are pursuing, in a sense, is to allow everyone to have the freedom to make all choices and choose the answers they want s right."

"I said before that this is not the Bible. It is not that you memorize all the theories, and then there will be a god who will answer all your questions for you, but if at that time, I give it to you, You must think so."

"I can't let him become your belief when you are eager to ask the world, because it means that you will never understand the essence of this thought..."

"It can answer all questions of everyone because it will tell you that it is you who can answer all your own questions."

Alfred's words reminded Batman of his mental state at that time. He couldn't remember what happened at that time very clearly. Everything seemed to be broken into pieces, but the only thing he remembered was What's more, he was trying to find an answer that would ease his pain.

At that time, the person he trusted the most was Alfred. If Alfred had told him at that time that all this was the will of God, then he would definitely believe it. Same.

However, Alfred didn't say anything, so Batman doesn't believe anything now.

Alfred sighed again, and said in a guilty tone: "I know, if I give you an answer, it will make you better, but it will deprive you of the right to make a choice."

"At the time, I thought so, but now I still regret it a bit, because the consequences of this are much more serious than I imagined."

Leaving aside his identity as master and butler, Alfred seemed to be able to say more. Batman had never heard Alfred speak to him in such a tone. Alfred continued:
"I only thought about the future at the time, but I didn't think about how traumatic you would be at that time, so that it would affect your future personality, and it might even affect education and future generations..." Alfred shook Shaking his head, it seems that there is no better way to deal with this matter.

When such an accident happens to a genius, it is destined that his fragile emotions suppressed by wisdom will be completely crushed, and no matter what others do, they will just make up for it.

But Batman heard some other information from it. He looked at Alfred and asked very seriously: "So, I am really sick?"

Alfred was stunned by his question for a moment, and then suddenly became a little stuttering, he said intermittently: "Well...that's... maybe, one of your mentors, I mean, has always been That very stern person once expressed some opinions on your mental state in front of your face?"

"I thought he was yelling at me." Batman said very simply: "...I'm sure he was yelling at me."

"Why did he scold you?"

"There's no reason, he can scold whoever he wants." At this point, Batman paused, and then continued: "He especially likes to scold me."

Alfred flipped his palm over, implying that nothing was said, and Batman took a deep breath and sighed again.

As for whether Batman is aware that he may have some physical mental illness, he is actually aware of it, but he mistook all this for his rational thinking, which overwhelmed his emotional thinking, leading to emotional bluntness.

But now it seems that his condition is not just dull anymore, some of his emotional reactions have begun to become weaker and weaker, and even affect his empathy.

His reason and logic are telling him whether the other party is happy or sad, but once he puts himself into the other party, he finds that theoretically speaking, this matter should indeed make the other party happy or sad, but he himself has no Feel.

This also causes his substitution to be more and more biased, and his judgment on behavior may also be biased. Batman thinks that this may also be the reason why his psychology is always poor. He understands all theories. , but once substituted into the analysis, it is always a mess.

But then again, he is mentally ill, so Schiller doesn't?Everyone is mentally ill, why can he be a psychologist?

Batman was puzzled, so he planned to ask Schiller. He looked at Alfred and asked, "Where is Professor Schiller now?"

"He, after he left the central mine, he went to the seventh mountain, which is the mountain closest to the big eyeball." Alfred replied, and then he continued: "I just organized the devil to dig a The retreat passage leading there, when the time comes, we can go there to meet him."

Hearing that the mountain where Schiller was located was the closest to the big eyeball, Batman had a bad feeling, so he immediately called Merkel, and the two went to the mine of the Seventh Mountain through the retreat passage. Hole.

As soon as the two arrived at the seventh mountain, they saw that General Rotten Heart was standing on the edge of the mine, looking down at Schiller who was lying on the ground.

He raised the harpoon high, and then pierced Schiller's collarbone. Schiller snorted, and the devil behind General Rotten Heart came up with a grinning grin.

They took out a huge rusty ring lock, put the lock through the hole made by the harpoon, locked Schiller's shoulders and collarbone, and dragged Schiller, covered in blood, out of the mine. .

Merkel was shocked and shouted:

"We have to save General Rotten Heart immediately!!!"

Batman turned his head to stare at him, Merkel froze for a moment, then immediately covered his mouth, and the voice escaped from between his fingers:

"Well, I mean, we have to get to Mr. Schiller right away!"
