Chapter 2261: Late Autumn in Jincheng (End)
About a few months ago, Pamela arrived as promised and helped Schiller transform his garden. Although the main task was to transform the plants, the overall structure of the garden also needed to be changed. It was at that time that Schiller discovered that there was a cellar under his manor.
Of course, this cellar was just an ordinary cellar at that time, but after seeing this cellar, Schiller had an extraordinary idea.
When it comes to the strength of the protagonist's halo, Batman of the main universe must be the strongest. After all, the world is focused on him, and he will definitely be the main force to deal with the Maniac.
Then reminding him of the existence of certain crises is the highest priority. It is obviously not reliable to rely solely on the message from the magic world, because most magicians are not good at anything, and Batman is not good at deciphering those secret codes full of metaphysical meanings.
Then Schiller had to find a more straightforward way to remind him, so there was the Four Pillars Sacrifice Square that Batman had seen before, which was built by Schiller in his own cellar.
Without owls in this world, there would naturally be no Owl Maze, but Batman doesn't know why there are no owls in this world, so just pretend it exists.
Schiller is just as good as Bruce at being an Owl, except that he takes a different approach. The Owl under Bruce's leadership is a highly efficient and formal company, while the Owl that Schiller pretends to be is a complete cult.
In the field of religious studies, Schiller also has many professional personalities, and the bishop mentioned in the previous move is one of them.
In his previous life, Schiller used religion to conceal his identity and achieve his goals, but his disguise was not a casual one, or rather, it was just a side job. He had truly studied religion and theology.
Because of this, Schiller was able to set up a religious sacrifice scene that even Batman could not detect any flaws. This was actually very difficult because Batman had a high level of attainment in religious studies and theology, and any slight mistake in the details would be easily discovered.
It can be imagined that with Batman's extraordinary memory, he can remember all the details on the sacrificial square. After returning, he will definitely draw them out for repeated comparisons. The details must be carefully studied before they can be used as clues. Once there are some contradictions, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
So Schiller spent several months meticulously carving it to make every detail perfect, from the overall structure to the construction marks and the mistakes that ordinary people might make when carving the details, all were polished to an impeccable level.
The next step is to bring Batman into the game. In order to make him discover the underground square and suspect Barbatos without any flaws, it is naturally impossible to shout Barbatos' name in his ear with a loud speaker. This must be said inadvertently, and it must be said by a being who has nothing to do with most people present, but has a higher level of life and power and a higher credibility.
As Pamela was tending to Schiller's garden, Schiller naturally set his sights on the green of all things.
However, if you want to get All Things Green to join the game, you have to get Pamela in first. If Pamela remains so calm and rational and has no interest in anything, it will be almost impossible for her to take the bait.
Pamela had described her mental state to Schiller before, but at that time Pamela did not express her pain. If a mental state does not cause pain, there is no need to treat it.
However, it is obvious that academic pressure is the catalyst for all emotional illnesses. As graduation approaches, Pamela's mental state becomes worse and worse, and her mental problems, which were originally not a big deal, show signs of worsening.
Knowing Schiller, it was almost impossible for Pamela to find another psychiatrist, so she naturally came to Schiller.
In fact, even if it was a brain problem, Schiller had a way to control Pamela's condition with simple psychotherapy, but since he could kill two birds with one stone, he would not refuse.
The Green of All Things was forced by Schiller to resolve Pamela's condition, so he was naturally angry. It would not be surprising if he exploded on the spot as long as he added fuel to the fire.
In fact, Schiller had no intention of letting Batman hurt Pamela. After all, even if the wound would be healed in the end, it would still hurt. Although Pamela was not his direct student, Schiller was unwilling to do such a thing.
But the bad thing is that after Pamela was cured, her previously repressed desires were released, causing her to not only be a teenager, but also an extremely excited teenager.
Schiller really couldn't understand how a person with the superpower to control all plants could be hit by a dart when the ordinary person Batman didn't even put in any effort.
Of course, although it was an unexpected situation, it also achieved a better effect by accident. The Green of All Things was furious and wanted to launch an attack here in a delirious state.
Although Schiller's sacrificial square is fake, the dark energy that Bruce stuffed into it is real. It is one of the black money he embezzled, and it was placed underground without any protective measures.
When the green of all things fight, they need to draw strength from the soil through their roots. They also need to find the veins of plants from the soil and obtain green elements as the source of strength.
He has taken root in Schiller Manor, so it is conceivable that his roots will inevitably come into contact with dark energy. Although this thing has a certain degree of inertia, it is very polluting if it is actively touched and absorbed.
In addition to the emotional spectrum, there are also color elements in the universe, including green, red, black, gray, etc. The various color elements are not harmonious with each other, and some have even had earth-shattering contradictions.
The color element is more exclusive than the emotional spectrum. The green of all things, which represents the green element, absorbed the dark energy of black. Although it is not the same thing as the black element, it is enough to make him uncomfortable for a long time.
The Green of All Things went crazy. Those present were all smart people and could see that this big guy was not coming for them at all, he was just going crazy on the spot.
The suspicious Batman will definitely be the first one to look for the reason, even if he doesn't look for Bruce. Many people present know what kind of person Batman is, so it is not surprising that Batman is the first to find the clue.
The clues were of course on the ground. The dark energy that Bruce had stuffed into the sacrificial square was extracted by the Green of All Things and churned onto the ground, like a prominent signpost indicating that the problem lay underground.
After arriving underground, the official guides, Bruce and Constantine, will act as diligent tour guides to lead Batman to visit this famous place and try their best to explain to him the occult knowledge that he has never been exposed to.
Strange is not a stand-in, because if all the people are actors, it would be too fake. Although Strange's acting skills are pretty good, they are far worse than Bruce and Constantine. They are the source of darkness in Gotham.
Batman indeed discovered the clue of the sacrificial square. Batman could see that this carefully built cult site obviously implied some kind of religious law. It was a mature cultural system, not something that some young evil god came up with on the spur of the moment.
Combining various information, Batman has been raising the threat level of Barbatos. I'm afraid that by the time they return to Lex's hillside manor, the number of plans, backup plans, and backup plans of backup plans should have exceeded five digits.
When they finished telling everyone their plans, everyone couldn't help but click their tongues, but Schiller still didn't tell them part of it, just for the sake of the protagonist's privacy needs.
Loki and Talia were actually just side branches of the plan. After hearing what Alberto said about Evans' situation, Schiller knew that Alberto probably didn't want to be the godfather anymore.
However, judging from the current situation in Gotham, he won't be able to do it for long even if he wants to. Instead of a catastrophic destruction, it is better to exit with dignity and do more of what Evans likes to do, so that he can stabilize himself.
So Schiller gave Alberto a hint, and Alberto understood his hint, which was that no later than three days from tonight, the gangster base would be in trouble.
Smart people can see where the gang's weak spot is now, so they must strike with precision. Schiller originally hoped that Green of All Things could sweep the North District Manor, but since Loki brought a better option, there was no need to go far away.
One advantage of doing this is that the Green of All Things does not have to move the battlefield, and the buildings along the way can be preserved. Although Gordon had been informed long ago, it would be best to minimize the losses.
The method Schiller taught Loki was also very simple. Considering your brother's blood pressure, don't think about other Thors. Anyway, you want to have a child to divert Frigga's attention, so why not find him a troublesome mother, so that you in Asgard can unite against the enemy and fight a hearty battle for custody?
Loki thought so too, but since he had to find a troublesome mother, it would be difficult to win her over. He didn't want to repeat Hela's mistake, and the method Schiller taught him was naturally to induce manipulation.
Everyone has an evil side in their heart. The battle-hardened female killer Talia is no innocent girl. In fact, treating human life as worthless is not something that can be trained to do. Some people are just not capable of this, and no amount of cruel training can change that.
Her father played a certain role in Talia's development into what she is today, but she herself cannot be said to be completely innocent. There must be a seed of evil in her body, and all Loki needs to do is to stimulate it.
Of course, in addition to certain character settings and acting skills, the environment is also very important. Loki understands without Schiller saying that there is no need for love between them, they just need to stimulate hormones. The best way, besides being attracted by beauty, is to use the suspension bridge effect.
In Schiller's research, the suspension bridge effect is not simply using fear to speed up the heartbeat and then confuse the senses. A more dangerous and tense environment will instinctively stimulate people's desire to survive and speed up the secretion of adrenaline.
The human arousal mechanism is very complex. Apart from the physiological part, the mental aspect is also affected by hormones and brain work. Scientific research has shown that in dangerous situations, both of these will be fully mobilized to speed up blood flow and enhance physical activity.
There are not many things that make Talia feel nervous and uneasy, and Schiller is the most obvious one, so he knocked Talia unconscious and threw her into jail. What Talia told Loki about Schiller's interest in cooking actually reflected that she was being stimulated by association.
There is no need to say much about what happens next. The dungeon collapses and Talia needs to escape with the injured Loki, just like her and Batman's desperate journey in other universes.
When Schiller saw Loki again, he knew from his expression that the matter was settled.
Loki forgot to mention it, and he raised a finger and added: "The Frost Giants can control the number of offspring they reproduce, so we decided to give one to each of us."
"Then Thor..."
Loki lowered his eyes and smiled.
"The children born to humans and frost giants are bound to have defects... the same defects as I had back then."
