Chapter 3551 Soul Catcher (End)
After a brief feeling of weightlessness, Schiller first saw a patch of pure white light. When the soft light faded away, a nearly pure white room appeared in his vision.
But something obviously seemed wrong here, because the room was about two to three hundred square meters in size, and there was a baby crib every half a meter or so.
Everything in the room was white: the walls were white, the floor was white, the crib was white, and even the fabric inside the crib was pure white.
“It doesn’t actually take many jumps to enter the deep dream. In the case of Injustice Superman, it only took two or three jumps.” Schiller thought, “This is the third dream they have come to. I’m afraid they are already close to the deepest level.”
The occurrence of abnormalities is the best proof - the order constructed in the surface consciousness begins to collapse, and chaos and weirdness follow.
Schiller stood there, quietly looking at the cribs all over the room.
Even chaotic dreams have traces to follow, they are nothing more than fragments of memory. This means that at a certain moment, a crib in a certain room left a deep impression on Hale.
Suddenly, there was a noise at the door of the room.
Schiller looked around and didn't see Injustice Superman and Injustice Batman, thinking they might have been thrown into another room. But he didn't dare to bet that the person who came in was his teammate.
Fortunately, although the room was large, it had four load-bearing pillars. Schiller took two steps at a time and quickly hid behind one of the pillars.
A head half the height of a person stuck in from the door, with long hair disheveled and muttering to himself.
Next came half of the body. But the strange thing was that the monster had a big head, a long neck, and a very small body, and it had no legs. Only the upper body was floating in the air.
Schiller glanced at him, and from this strange shape, he realized something.
The point is, the monster was wearing some kind of uniform, which looked like a nurse's uniform on Earth. He was also holding something in his hand, which looked like an "X" from a distance.
The monster checked each crib after another. There was no baby in each crib, but he was busy doing something.
As he got closer, Schiller finally saw clearly what he was holding in his hand - a pair of pliers.
To be precise, it was some kind of blood collection device, because Schiller saw that the movements on the nurse monster's hands looked like it was collecting blood.
It's just that maybe the Kryptonians' skin is special, so they didn't draw blood with a syringe. Instead, they pressed lightly on the toes with the pliers, made a small hole in the big toe of the right foot, and then used a piece of paper to collect the blood that rolled down.
It seems that this is the prototype of the pincer monster.
The shape of the nurse monster is also easy to explain. At that time, Haier was lying in the crib. If he looked up from below, he could only see the nurse's head and upper body, but not the lower body.
So in his impression, the nurse had a big head and a long neck, holding a pair of forceps in her hands to draw blood from him.
The nurse was about to reach the crib next to him, so Schiller carefully turned in the other direction.
But before the nurse came over, there was a commotion in the corridor. The nurse roared angrily and rushed out with the forceps.
While he was rushing out, Schiller also rushed out and looked outside the door. Sure enough, Injustice Superman was already fighting with the nurse in another room.
Taking this opportunity, Schiller quickly checked the remaining cribs, and he thought that Hale might be hiding in one of them.
But the room was a bit big, and it would take time for him to check it row by row, and he didn't know when the nurse would come back.
Schiller thought for a moment: "If the nurse wants to draw blood from every baby in the crib, then Hale may not hide in the crib, because this is recreating his most fearful scene. If he has to hide, then maybe he will hide under the bed."
Schiller immediately bent down and looked under the bed. Sure enough, a gray-skinned baby appeared on the empty floor.
He was not lying down, but lying prone on the ground. He was not wrapped in swaddling clothes, but just lying naked on the ground.
More importantly, he was covered in wounds, some of which looked fresh, and his toes were bleeding, gradually gathering into a pool of blood on the ground.
Schiller took a deep breath, walked quickly to the door, and took a look at the battle situation in the corridor.
Injustice Superman is fighting two monster nurses, and he seems to be not losing at all. Injustice Batman is fighting with him, but he is just interfering from the side, and it is obvious that he has some strength left.
Schiller gestured to Injustice Batman and pointed to the forceps the nurse was holding.
While Injustice Superman was forcing a nurse back with a laser, Injustice Batman kicked the nurse to the left, causing his arm to hit the wall and the pliers to fall off with a clang.
Schiller rushed over quickly, picked up the pliers, and before the nurse could react, he returned to the room and closed the door.
But the Injustice Batman in the corridor rushed too far forward, and the nurse without a weapon was not easy to deal with. He swung his long neck, slammed into the Injustice Batman, and then bit the Injustice Batman's shoulder.
Injustice Batman groaned and hit the nurse's eyes with two darts. Before he could step back, someone grabbed his other arm and lifted him up.
When he turned around, he saw another red laser shooting out from those light blue eyes, just like a blood moon rising from the ice field.
Schiller, holding the pliers, walked to where Hale was hiding. He squatted down, reached out and pulled the baby out, put it in the nearest crib, and waved the pliers at him.
Before he could really do anything, the baby let out a sharp cry and the dream was shattered in an instant.
This time the fall took an unusually long time. Before the picture appeared, Schiller smelled a strange smell. It was similar to the burning smell he smelled in the car, but this time it was much stronger.
After entering the dream, Schiller and the other two were stunned.
This was a dark space. In front of them was a huge fire pit, with something similar to magma inside the pit.
There were many pipes on the walls of the circular room, and the ends of the pipes stopped just above the fire pit. From time to time, things fell from the pipes and fell into the lava pool, burning to ashes.
The unpleasant burning smell that Schiller smelled came from the packaging of the burning items, which looked like a plastic bag.
But the bag was filled with tiny babies.
Although Schiller had anticipated this result when he heard about the Kryptonians' reproduction method, he was still shocked to see the scene with his own eyes.
Many people would think that humans are not lucky enough. To reproduce, not only do the two sexes need to mate, but they also need to be pregnant for ten months. In this process, they also have to face various problems and risks, and they don’t know what the quality of the child will be after it is born.
Many people also imagine that it would be great if one day humans no longer have to give birth to children themselves, but could instead hand them over to artificial machines. Some bolder people would also imagine that it would be great if they could select and edit genes at will.
But the reason why the ethical requirements for biological experiments are so high is to avoid the situation like the one Schiller faced.
Biological experiments that abandon ethics are a serious disregard for life. When this situation becomes extreme, not only animals, but also humans themselves will be completely objectified. Those who pass the test are human beings, and those who fail the test are just a handful of ashes.
Reverence for life is the artificial bottom line of power. Without this bottom line, greed will devour everything.
Schiller looked down and saw that the translucent white liquid was gradually flooding the place. In the small round window on the wall, the huge eyes of a baby appeared and disappeared from time to time.
Suddenly, the whole building was opened like a lid. There were no streets or cities outside, but a vast ocean of amniotic fluid.
A giant baby is floating in the sea.
There were many scars on his body and many wrinkles on his face, but he didn't cry or make any aggressive moves. He just lay there quietly, staring at the outsiders who invaded here.
Schiller thought that perhaps it was here that the Al couple saved Hale from being destroyed.
"I think we've got a tricky situation here," Schiller said. "Hal's mental anchor and mental weakness are one and the same."
"what?"
"His adoptive parents."
Injustice Batman looked at the baby. He was lying in the sea, seemingly at ease.
This result was not unexpected by Schiller. The Al couple adopted Hale and gave him a wonderful childhood. They were the source of Hale's sense of security during his childhood, and recalling any time spent with them would make him feel at peace.
And losing them is, of course, his mental weakness, just like Batman losing his parents.
But what is the alarm clock that can really stimulate him?
Photos of his parents? His parents' belongings? Or the home where he once lived?
Schiller's thoughts began to drift further and further away, because he couldn't help but think of himself.
Hale's experience is somewhat similar to his: both were abused in a laboratory when they were young; and they paid a price that they shouldn't have paid in order to meet the expectations of certain people.
Moreover, they were all rescued later, grew up under the care of others, and lost them at some point.
If it were you, what would make you feel shaken?
Schiller rarely had moments of hesitation, so that moment of trance would always be remembered by him for a long time.
He clearly remembered that the last time he felt shaken, shocked, and his mind went blank was when he heard someone say -
"Nurse, she's a nurse."
The voice of Injustice Batman brought Schiller back to reality.
"Did you find his alarm clock?"
"I think... I found it."
"What is it?"
"Clark..."
"what?"
"Clark Kent."
Some people say that I will update at 12 o'clock sooner or later
You are such a clever little guy
