In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 948: What Schiller is most afraid of (middle)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
Batman originally wanted to talk to Zatanna when she was depressed, and persuade her to give up. After all, Batman's purpose of coming here has been achieved, and he didn't think that Zatanna's plan would be successful.
Unexpectedly, Zatanna pushed him away suddenly, and then said with enthusiasm: "In this case, I want to see even more, what kind of secrets is this mysterious Professor Schiller hiding? He What is the weakness?"
"If the evil curse falls into the hands of such a person, terrible things will definitely happen. I must stop it!"
Looking at the resolute expression on Zatanna's face, Batman, who was hugged by Zatanna just now, felt that he was not very good at speaking now.
Unexpectedly, Constantine coughed twice and said, "Xiao Zha, you can see that this professor is not an ordinary person, why don't we..."
Konstantin also has the intention of leaving. Although he did not get the soul of the curse this time, he got the handle of Batman. plan to be successful.
But Zatanna glared at him and said, "Do you think I'm the same as you? I wouldn't aim to retreat."
After finishing speaking, she walked up to those light spheres, looked down at the building blocks in her hand, and said, "Building blocks? Let me think about it... No, no, no matter what, it's wrong to lie to children, but It should be possible to exchange?"
After finishing speaking, she pulled over another memory light sphere, which was smaller than the other light spheres. The screen unfolded, and Zatanna constructed a scene of a children's room.
Then, she said to herself: "This building block should be a very important thing to the young Schiller. If I exchange him for an umbrella, he should exchange it with me, right?"
After speaking, the young Schiller appeared in the memory space, and at this time, a female teacher who looked exactly like Zatanna walked in, holding a building block in her hand, and then squatted down, looking at the The eyes of the young Schiller said: "Little Schiller, do you want this building block?"
The young Schiller looked into Zatanna's eyes and nodded. Zatanna showed a gentle smile, touched his head, and said, "Then can you exchange the umbrella with the teacher?"
The young Schiller turned his head to glance at the big umbrella that he grabbed behind him, looked back at Zatana, and then shook his head.
"Why don't you want to change with me?" Zatanna still squinted her eyes gently, and said with a smile: "It's not raining today, you can safely play with building blocks in the house without going out, come on, Give me the umbrella..."
Schiller took a step back and shook his head again, but his eyes stayed on the building blocks in Zatanna's hand. Zatanna felt that this might be the most promising round, so she His hand moved forward again.
Unexpectedly, Schiller quickly took the building block from her hand, and then ran to the corner.
Zhatanna's eyes were wide open, as if feeling a little angry, she immediately took two steps forward and said, "How can you grab something? This is wrong, children must be polite!"
But the young Schiller who hid in the corner, holding a building block in one hand and an umbrella in the other, just kept staring at her. Zatana wanted to take two steps forward, but she was afraid of irritating Schiller.
No way, she could only reset the scene again. This time, she didn't reach out so far, and grabbed the building block tightly, not giving Schiller a chance to succeed. Then, she and Schiller were like this stared at each other for three hours.
Of course, it was three hours in the memory space, and about 20 minutes passed in the soul buffer zone where Zatana and the others were located.
Finally, the screen went off, and Zatanna chose to give up. She stood still and said a little dullly: "I really don't understand, how can such a small child have such a strong concentration? He stared at My action lasted for three hours, as long as my fingers loosened a little and I lost my mind, he would **** the building blocks away..."
"Many children with autism have higher concentration than their peers. When they are lacking in one aspect, they will be particularly good at another aspect." Batman said.
Zatana's face looked very tired, not only because it took too much energy to reset the scene many times, but also because anyone who met Schiller in the line would feel a kind of mental torture.
Batman saw Zatanna's expression, and he knew that Zatanna's emotions were stretched into a string, and it was a little too tight now, and it might break at any time. It's nothing to stimulate her at this time good idea.
Sure enough, he heard Zatanna muttering to herself: "I have to solve this curse, I have such a responsibility, this is my destiny..."
"I saw the fate of the devil!" Constantine, who was lying on the ground recovering his strength, raised his voice and said, "Why don't you understand that those elders who said these things to you didn't really want you to save them?" world, but just want to use you to save them!"
"Konstantin!" Zatanna almost screamed: "Do you think I will become someone like you? I am different from you. I will definitely use my talent to protect this world. I I will never let myself go down such a road!"
Konstantin closed his eyes, his chest heaved weakly, and he said: "Perhaps, your desire to protect this world is true, but the person who established this goal for you and taught you methods and skills , never really wanted to protect the world..."
"Are you talking about my father?!" Zatana broke her voice, and she said fiercely to Constantine: "No matter what, what my father and I did was to protect others !Not like you!"
Konstantin did not refute this at all, he just took out a cigarette and took a sip, and then said: "Find justice and protect others in the magic world, have you made a mistake? We are just a group of cursed Poor guy, don't think too much of yourself."
Batman saw Zatana's distorted face. Through the dialogue between Zatana and Constantine, Batman guessed that Zatana, who was born in a famous family, may have been indoctrinated since she was a child to use her powerful talent. , the concept of saving and protecting the world.
Perhaps, the purpose of those who instilled this truth in him was not pure, perhaps their purpose was pure, but it did not match the facts.
Constantine has emphasized countless times that magical talent is like a curse, constantly forcing people to fall into the abyss. Zatanna seems to think that she will be the exception, but Constantine is very pessimistic about this.
"You should save more energy, Xiao Zha, save some energy to protect yourself, instead of driving yourself crazy on the way to pursue the so-called justice like you are doing now."
Zatana's expression was moved for a moment, and Batman saw a fragility in that moment, but it disappeared soon.
This female magician, who always has a playful smile on her face, is as focused and energetic as she is performing on stage all the time.
But first, he heard the news of the heinous curse, and rushed to Gotham without stopping. Then, he spent a lot of energy and energy to arrange the fog that blocked the spiritual world of Gotham. Finally, he found the flaw in the memory space. Things are not going well...
This series of blows made Zatanna feel very anxious. It seemed that there was always a voice in her heart urging her, telling her that if she could not solve this matter alone, there would be serious consequences. As long as she doesn't try her best, as long as she makes any small mistake, the world will be destroyed and human beings will perish.
And Batman has a deep understanding of this emotion.
Batman is not very good at comforting people, he can only use his own method to divert Zatanna's attention, so he said:
"We continue to spend here, and there will be no additional progress. I think we should return to the real world first. This is the most sensible choice."
He looked at Zatana and Constantine and said, "Both of you are not in good condition, we need to rest urgently, let's go back first."
Konstantin nodded, stood up from the ground, and planned to leave, but Zatana, who stood silently on the spot, took a deep breath, exhaled it again, and said, "If you want to leave, I can send you back first, but I have to stay here."
"Even if I can't get the curse medium now, I must know how to restrain him, otherwise, it will be too late when the disaster really strikes."
"Xiao Zha, listen to me, there is no point in continuing to procrastinate, it will cause you great harm." Constantine looked into Zatana's eyes and said: "I know you still have a hole card, But it's not worth it."
"It's not worth it, I said it all, I'm doing my best every moment." Zatanna was also unwilling to back down, she said: "If you want to leave, I will send you away now, But I must find the flaws in these memory spaces."
Zatana's stubbornness made Constantine very headache. He gave Batman a wink, and wanted Batman to come over to persuade him, but unexpectedly, Batman came over and said, "Do you think you are still there?" Do you have the energy? If so, then execute your plan."
"Oh my god, are you crazy?!" Constantine said in great confusion: "Even if you stay here for a few more hours, what will be the result? It's just repeating the previous failures a few more times. Just over and over..."
Unexpectedly, Zatanna said: "No, since things have reached this point, I think we can use some radical methods."
"You mean, you have other methods?" Batman asked, looking at her.
Zhatana sighed and said: "Actually, I don't want to do this. This is beyond the scope of memory modification."
"Now, as you can see, I am creating a fictional memory space ~IndoMTL.com~ to implant false memories for the characters in the memory space, which will not actually have much effect on the real memory .”
"Because this is only a change on the superficial level of consciousness, and it has not touched the deep part at all."
"But in fact, what spiritual magic can do is far more than that. We can go deeper along the path of memory and pry into more secrets there."
Zatanna sighed softly and said: "If we can't get him to hand over the curse medium through this deceitful way, then at least we can get a way to restrain him, to do it when he wants to do it." Stop him when you order something."
Seeing the expression on Zatana's face and hearing what she said, Batman had a very strange feeling, because he saw his past self in Zatanna.
Suspicious, paranoid, persecution paranoia, hope that everything will act according to his ideas, hope that all plans are prepared, for any existence that may be beyond your control, you must get their weaknesses, otherwise you will have trouble sleeping and eating install.
Now, Batman has clearly known how his current personality was formed. He is driven by anger, revenge and the desire to save Gotham, eager to become a perfect person, and I am very anxious about not being perfect.
Then, what is Zatanna being forced to take such a road leading to the abyss? What else can save her?
Batman suddenly discovered that from the perspective of a bystander, such a person is not pleasing, and he finally understood why Schiller and the lunatic who was always laughing kept emphasizing that "the person who is dressed as a bat is mental illness".
Because this kind of person really looks like a mental patient.
