In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 570: Black Sun and Bat Light (Part 2)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
Batman still remembers that when he first debuted as a hero, someone asked him, if he also needs evidence, what is the difference between him and those policemen who do nothing?
And now, the facts he personally investigated proved that what Schiller said to him back then was correct. In Gotham, the law is not even as good as a joke.
In other words, no matter where the law is, there is nothing to do with people like Falcone. He has never killed anyone with his own hands, he has not even instigated a person, and he has not ordered the gunman to assassinate others.
All his enemies were killed by others, swallowed by wolves who wanted to follow him for greater good, and Falcone, the uncrowned king of Gotham for decades, was swallowed by every His Excellency, the godfather who is revered by one person, is much more innocent than everyone else.
This makes all laws, trials, and convictions look like a joke. Those who killed for him were only driven by profit, and helped Falcone remove all obstacles to his progress. Batman knew that even if He's now taking Falcone to court, and the judge can't try him.
It's like they couldn't try the murderers who killed the Waynes.
While Batman was thinking more deeply about the meaning of law, he received a call from Schiller, asking him to go to the office. In an instant, this kind of esoteric sociological problem was left behind by him Yes, because he knew that he might face a bigger trouble.
When Bruce came to Schiller's office, he found that Lux was there, and he knew that this bigger trouble might be multiplied by two.
If there is one thing in this world that requires him and Lux to work together to solve it, Bruce has already begun to wonder, is Schiller dissatisfied with the position of the sun?
Both Bruce and Lux sat opposite Schiller, and to their surprise, after Schiller spoke, he didn't mention the topic of moving the parking space for the sun or the moon, he just stretched out his finger head, and said, "Do you see any difference there?"
Bruce and Lux looked up together, and then they found that the ceiling lampshade had been removed, and the light bulb was missing where it should have been.
"You should also know that there have been frequent power outages at Gotham University recently. Every time there is a power outage, it is easy to burn out the circuit and the light bulb is easy to be damaged. This is the case with the new light bulb we just replaced today."
Schiller stretched out his hand, waved it, and signaled the two of them to look at the surrounding environment. Now the whole classroom is dark, but the light bulb next door is not broken, and there is a glimmer of light from the window, so they can barely see clearly people.
"This is the environment where I work now. In order to improve this situation, I established a research group. You are the first batch of researchers in the research group. Now there are two topics to choose from."
"First, let Gotham immediately return to normal weather with more than 8 hours of sunshine throughout the day..."
"I'll choose the second one." Bruce replied without hesitation, but Lux turned his head to look at him and asked, "Why are you so anxious to answer? It's because you are not confident in your meteorology level." Is it?"
"Because I don't want to move the sun." Bruce replied blankly.
"Where do you need to move the sun? Isn't it enough to just use chemicals to disperse the clouds? Don't tell me, you don't have launch equipment, and the Wayne family didn't prepare early?"
Bruce pursed his lips, and he gave Lux a sympathetic look. Sure enough, he heard Schiller say: "Okay, since you have differences of opinion, then each person has a topic."
"I'll choose the second one." Bruce repeated, lest Schiller change his mind and let him and Lux study the first subject together.
Fortunately, Schiller said: "Then, Lex's topic is to completely change the weather in Gotham, making it a sunny day with plenty of sunshine, so that even if the light bulb occasionally goes out, there is enough lighting in the office." .”
"No problem." Lux agreed without hesitation, and he was even a little impatient. In his opinion, if he could complete the task that Bruce tried his best to avoid, it would prove that he was much better than Bruce.
Bruce gave him another sympathetic look, then looked at Schiller and asked, "What's the second topic?"
"Make a light bulb that stays on forever."
"The bat light will do." Bruce replied immediately.
Schiller was choked, and he asked: "You don't really use nuclear fusion to make bat lights?"
Bruce looked down and began to study the pattern on the table, Schiller shook his head, and then said: "I don't want to share the same kind of light bulb with the traffic light on the central turntable, that's very unlucky, you want my office to be destroyed three times a year Is it?"
Schiller glanced at Lux, who was still here, and said to him: "Your topic selection has been completed, and you can go to work now. If I open the curtain tomorrow, I can see a big On a sunny day, I will give you an unprecedented excellent grade for your final assignment."
Lex paused for a moment, then quickly left the chair and walked out the door. Bruce looked at his leaving back with sympathetic eyes again.
After he left, Schiller took out a model from his drawer, which was the first-generation Ark reactor model he had taken from Stark's laboratory before.
Schiller put it on the table and said: "Don't say I won't cook a small stove for you, just take it. I want a light bulb like this. It shouldn't be difficult for you."
Bruce took the model, at first, he didn't think there was anything, until he saw a part of the internal structure through the gap, Bruce narrowed his eyes, showing the classic expression of Batman, and then looked up at Xi Le.
"This is not something you can make." Bruce is very straightforward, but Schiller is not angry. In this regard, he will not refute anyone. Not interested.
"This is a friend of mine..."
"Where is he? What's his name? Male or female? Where does he study? Where does he work?"
"Stop, if you want to ask such a detailed question, I won't give you this kind of thing next time. I believe that Lux should also be interested in it."
Bruce rarely showed a hesitant expression. No scientific researcher can refuse this kind of inspiration from heaven, especially according to Schiller, this kind of opportunity is more than once.
Resisting his own skepticism, gaining more technology and inspiration, or continuing to follow his instincts, doubting everything, and then pushing away all of Schiller's gifts, Bruce had to admit, he started to struggle again.
A few times before, when Schiller took out certain technologies out of thin air, Bruce had already begun to suspect, but he really had no good way to investigate. He could only expect Schiller to tell him, but now Schiller has expressed his attitude, If you want the truth, you don’t have technology, if you want technology, you don’t have the truth,
Bruce's hand holding the model was getting tighter and tighter. Just when his hesitation reached its peak, he heard Schiller whispering like a devil:
"I deliberately drove away Lux, not because I think he doesn't have the technology to make the light bulb I want, but because I think, compared to him, I have known you for a longer time, yes You know better, and the two of us are closer, so I chose to give this thing to you."
"I know, you never trust me, or you don't trust anyone. Given your childhood trauma, I can understand your attitude, but if I choose not to trust you too, what is left today , it’s Lex.”
"You should know that Lax is different from you and Clark. He is more like me. We both ignore laws and rules, and are not afraid to use means to break through the bottom line to achieve our desired goals."
"So, you will meet one day. Logically speaking, if I stand on his side, it will be the best revenge for your distrust, but I don't want to do that."
"Why?" Bruce asked, looking Schiller in the eye.
"Because, there are not only one goal after another in this world, and I don't have to use the highest efficiency to complete them. The reason why people are called people is that they use rational judgments to gain and lose, and also Pay attention to feelings."
"You mean, your feelings prompted you to make this decision?" Bruce's tone was a little stiff.
"If I use purely rational thinking to judge this matter, it should be a better choice to hand this thing over to Lex. It can not only create an opponent for you, limit your development, but also protect yourself Find an ally with the same stand, and guard against your plan to deal with me one day."
"But I chose another way, which is to give this thing to you and explain why I chose to do so."
Bruce found that this office was still his nightmare, because every time he was here, he would face such a choice.
He would rather Schiller hadn't made it all so clear~IndoMTL.com~ But now, Bruce already knows, Schiller chose emotion between reason and emotion, and in Bruce's view, this is not a correct choice, but he is the beneficiary.
This made him face a thinking dilemma. His brain, which is used to thinking rationally, was telling him that what Schiller did was wrong, and his behavior and personality should not make him make such a move. Therefore, Bruce His brain began to analyze Schiller's motives for doing so.
And Schiller's words have clearly told Bruce that his motivation for doing this is emotion, and for a long time, the emotion part of Bruce's brain did not work, and it was caused by a It is separated by a thick door.
The existence of Alfred is the key to the door, and the relationship with Catwoman is to turn the key a little bit. Aisha and Dick bumped into the door, causing the door to open a gap.
If other people are opening the door through external force, then what Schiller is doing is more like opening the door from the inside out.
Schiller looked at the back of Bruce leaving. The model was faintly visible in the dark office, but because it was only a structural model, not the real Ark reactor, it was not bright and could not provide any light source.
But Schiller knew that with Bruce's genius, it wouldn't take long to light up the Ark's reactor.
And this ark reactor with countless contradictory thoughts illuminates not only a certain street, a certain room, but also something that has been hiding behind the door and peeking at the outside world.
If the bat insists on lighting the lights in this dark city, then Schiller doesn't mind, and replaces his bat light with a brighter bulb.
