Chapter 2468: Battle for the Cloak (Twenty-Four)
After the thick fog surrounding the top of Wayne Tower dissipated again, Jason, who was standing next to the machine, rubbed his eyes in confusion. When he looked at King Robin sitting on the chair, he was shocked.
But at this time a figure flew in from the broken window. It was little Bruce. He waved at Jason and Jason walked over.
"What happened? I remember I froze King Robin with the freezing gun, forced him to tell me his plan, and then took him back to Wayne Tower..."
Suddenly, there was a slight sound behind him. Jason turned around and saw Schiller taking off the helmet on King Robin's head.
"Wait, Professor." Jason seemed to have come to his senses. He said, "We can't take that thing off, otherwise he might wake up."
Schiller shook his head and said, "No, he won't wake up. His spirit is in a very distant place now."
Jason was still confused. He said, "What's going on?"
"It's just some tricks to deceive people." Schiller said very calmly: "True and false, false and true, that's it."
Jason looked at Bruce Jr., who sighed and said, "Okay, let me explain it to you."
In fact, things are not that simple. Little Bruce watched Schiller's entire operation and saw how King Robin played himself into the trap.
First of all, Schiller grasped King Robin's personality traits and created an illusion to make him dwell on a dead end. This was not surprising to little Bruce. If it were him, he would have dealt with King Robin in the same way. After all, the psychological weaknesses of this type of people are almost written on their faces. They just crave attention and will feel uncomfortable if they don't get other people's attention.
Moreover, their excessive arrogance makes them think that they can defeat any opponent head-on, so even if they have to endure the disgust, they will still get stuck in a dead end.
At first, little Bruce didn't quite understand why Schiller did this. Although it did make King Robin psychologically disgusted, it did not cause any substantial harm to him. Although it made him a little haggard, it did not reach the level of psychological trauma.
Then Mr. Freeze and Professor Pig-faced appeared on the scene. Please note that these two people are real and not illusions. Schiller emphasized at this time that the thick fog does not have the ability to simulate living people, but little Bruce is reserved.
At first, young Bruce thought that the two men appeared there to further break King Robin's psychological defenses, use ridicule to make him more collapsed, and thus force him to make forced mistakes.
At the time, young Bruce thought that this trick was not very effective. If King Robin could be so easily broken by ridicule, he would not be alive today.
It turns out that Schiller’s purpose was not that complicated at all.
Although these two people exist in real life, only Mr. Freeze is the real Mr. Freeze, while Professor Pig-face is Clayface.
This also explains why the two of them were able to escape unscathed despite being covered in blood after Bruce Jr. fired the gun. This is Clayface's forte. Not to mention simulating some bloody fragments, you can even watch a bloody fireworks display.
The purpose of Mr. Freeze's appearance there was actually to observe the equipment in King Robin's hands. It was impossible for King Robin to come to see the two of them without weapons, and Mr. Freeze was an expert in physics and mechanical engineering. Although he could only look and not touch, he could still imitate the style.
This imitation technology was then used on the energy core that the Mad Hatter later took out and that was provided to him by King Robin.
And King Robin was right. After the cutscene filled with the voices of Thomas, Martha, Mr. Freeze and Professor Pig-faced, he was indeed in the thick fog.
But the Mad Hatter is real, he is the real person of Tetch, and the machine is also real, it is the brain wave invasion device made by Tetch, so King Robin can see countless details in the machine, and the principle is also correct, because this machine can indeed invade brain waves, only the so-called energy core is imitated from the outline drawn by Mr. Freeze.
King Robin focused all his attention on the brain wave invasion device. He only took a glance at the appearance of the energy core and felt that it was similar to his own style, so he did not take a closer look.
The exit of this machine and Mad Hatter Tetch was an illusion simulated by the thick fog. As I said before, it is not difficult to simulate any bloody scene, let alone the bloody one.
Then the thick fog really dissipated, and the scenes where King Robin planned to capture Jason and personally came near Jason were all true.
Then, an operation that made little Bruce applaud was performed. Schiller secretly sneaked into the thick fog simulation device made by King Robin, and controlled the range of the thick fog well within the range of the fake fog.
In other words, King Robin made something to simulate thick fog, and the real thick fog was hidden in the simulated thick fog. King Robin thought that the fog was simulated by himself, so he stood in the fog and fired without hesitation.
And not surprisingly, the entire process from Jason being knocked out to him taking Jason back to Wayne Tower was an illusion.
What’s even more amazing is that Jason, who wasn’t knocked down, also entered into a hallucination.
From King Robin's perspective, he successfully ambushed Jason, took Jason back to Wayne Tower, pressed him into his seat, and used Jason's brain waves to enter Batman's spiritual world.
From Jason's perspective, he successfully countered the sneak attack and froze King Robin in place with one shot. After forcing him to reveal his conspiracy, he took him back to Wayne Tower and pressed King Robin into a chair.
Then, a more ingenious arrangement appeared, one person sat down to actually enter the spiritual world, and one person stood to watch him enter the spiritual world.
Regardless of whether someone is sitting or standing, they are actually observing the scene entering the spiritual world from a first-person perspective, so no matter who is standing or sitting, the scene they see is the same, and there is no way to judge who wins and who loses.
So a problem arises. In fact, Jason won, so it was King Robin who entered the spiritual world, but King Robin thought he won, and he believed that it was Jason who entered Batman's spiritual world, so the image that entered Batman's spiritual world was Jason.
Because in Robin King's hallucination, he saw Jason opening the door, and in his mind, it should be Jason who opened the door, and it was his thoughts that invaded, so the image of his thoughts was Jason.
At first, Bruce didn't understand why Schiller went through so much trouble just to change the image of Robin King to Jason? Why was this necessary? Would Batman let down his guard and open his heart just because of this image?
Don't tell me, it's true.
From the moment King Robin opened those doors one after another, little Bruce realized that something was wrong. This didn't look like Batman's spiritual world. It was such a mess.
What made young Bruce even more certain that this was not the mental world of a normal Batman was the pile of papers. No sane Batman could write such insane statements.
When King Robin, who looked like Jason, crawled out from the pile of papers, he saw the door opposite was opened. A blue-eyed young man was staring at him blankly, and the two of them stared at each other.
"Hmm? Jason, were you the one who was talking just now?"
When Schiller appeared and the decoration on King Robin's head was taken down, King Robin woke up, but at this moment he found that his position and Jason's position were swapped.
How could he not realize that he was trapped? So his appearance immediately changed and he turned back into King Robin.
Unexpectedly, the young man on the other side breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, "Fortunately, he is an enemy. I said Jason would not comment on my paper like this. He is a polite child."
Then the young man started fighting with King Robin.
But King Robin was not actually completely defeated. He was a complete spiritual body and naturally possessed complete abilities. But as luck would have it, halfway through the fight, a big fly suddenly appeared and knocked King Robin over with one of its wings.
What's going on? Beelzebub looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the young man and said, "What's going on? Bruce, didn't you say that the memory of your pile of garbage papers has overflowed again? Where is it? Dump it out quickly and leave quickly, I'm busy."
Bruce pointed to the room that was about to burst - in fact, it had already burst because King Robin opened the door - and said, "There it is, please take it away."
Beelzebub quickly took away all the papers, saying as he flew, "Although I don't understand what you wrote, the spiritual energy of Batman is still good... By the way, next month is my birthday party, don't forget to come. Of course, don't invite that old geek Uriel, we have to get drunk."
Bruce waved his hand. After Beelzebub left, he began to study the unconscious King Robin. He tied him up with something and waited for him to wake up. Bruce asked in confusion, "Who are you? How did you get into the memory module of my spiritual world?"
Robin King wanted to say that he also wanted to know the answer to this question, but seeing the unfriendly look on the other side's face, he could only stiffen his neck and answer: "I am Robin King, I... you... wait a minute, you are Batman, how come you are so young?"
"I'm not young anymore." Bruce shook his neck and said, "I'm almost 30."
Robin King wanted to say but you look like a street-slicker teenager with nothing better to do.
"So how did you get in?" Bruce frowned and thought carefully, then he said as if he suddenly realized something: "Oh, I remember, because when Jason had a nightmare, his spirit always came to my door and knocked, so I added him to the whitelist."
"Wait, you actually disguised yourself as Jason Todd and sneaked into my spiritual world. You are so despicable!"
“I…I too…I…???”
Sorry for sleeping too late
