The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Batman still remembers that when he first became a hero, someone asked him, if he also needs evidence, what is the difference between him and the police who do nothing?

And now, the facts he personally investigated prove that what Schiller said to him was right. In Gotham, the law is even worse than a joke.

In other words, no matter where the law is, there is nothing that can be done against people like Falcone. He has never killed anyone with his own hands. He has never even instigated a person or instructed gunmen to assassinate others.

All of his enemies were killed by others, devoured by wolves who wanted to follow him for greater gain, but Falcone, the uncrowned king of Gotham for decades, was feared by everyone. Your godfather is much more innocent than everyone else.

This makes all laws, trials, and convictions look like a joke. Those who kill for him are just motivated by profit, helping Falcone remove all obstacles to his progress. Batman knows that even if he kills people now Falcone was taken to court, but the judge could not try him.

Just like they can't try the killers of the Waynes.

When 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 profound sociological issue was forgotten by him, because He knew that he might face a bigger trouble.

When Bruce came to Schiller's office, he found that Lex was actually 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 Lex to work together to solve it, Bruce has already begun to wonder, is Schiller a little dissatisfied with the position of the sun?

Bruce and Lex both sat across from Schiller, and what surprised both of them was that after Schiller opened his mouth, he did not mention the topic of moving parking spaces for the Sun or the Moon. He just pointed at the top of his head and said : Did you notice any difference there?

Bruce and Lex looked up together, and then they discovered that the lampshade on the ceiling had been removed, and the light bulb was missing where the light bulb was supposed to be.

You should also know that Gotham University has had frequent power outages recently. Every time there is a power outage, the circuit is easily burned out and the light bulbs are easily damaged. This is the case with the new light bulbs we just replaced today.

Schiller stretched out his hand and waved it, signaling the two of them to look at the surrounding environment. The entire classroom was now dark, but the light bulb next door was not broken, and there was a glimmer of light coming from the window, so they could barely see people clearly.

This is the environment in my office 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 a day...

I choose the second one. Bruce replied without hesitation, but Lex turned to look at him and asked, Why are you so anxious to answer? Is it because you are not confident in your weather science skills?

Because I don't want to move the sun. Bruce replied expressionlessly.

Why do we need to move the sun? Can't we just use chemicals to disperse the clouds? Don't tell me that you don't have the equipment for launch. Didn't the Wayne family make preparations in advance?

Bruce pursed his lips and glanced at Lex sympathetically. Sure enough, he heard Schiller say: Well, since you have differences in opinions, let's do one subject per person.

I choose the second one. Bruce repeated again, fearing that Schiller would change his mind and let him study the first topic with Lex.

Fortunately, Schiller said: So, 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 breaks, the office will have enough lighting.

No problem. Lex agreed immediately. He was even a little impatient. In his opinion, if he could complete the task that Bruce was trying 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 is 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 the Bat Lantern, do you?

Bruce lowered his head and began to study the patterns on the table. Schiller shook his head, and then said: I don't want to share the same light bulb with the traffic light on the central turntable. That is very unlucky. Do you want my office to be destroyed three times a year?

Schiller glanced at Lex, who was still here, and said to him: Your topic selection has been completed. Now you can go to work. If I open the curtains tomorrow and see a sunny day, I will I’ll give you an unprecedented and excellent grade on your final assignment.”

Lex paused, then quickly left the chair and walked out of 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 model of the first-generation Ark reactor that he had taken from Stark's laboratory.

Schiller put it on the table and said: Don't say I won't turn on the 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 anything was wrong, until he saw part of the internal structure through the gap. Bruce squinted his eyes, showing the classic Batman expression, and then looked up at Schiller.

This is not something you can make. Bruce was very straightforward, but Schiller was not angry. In this regard, he would not contradict anyone. He did know nothing about physics and engineering and had no interest in it. .

This is a friend of mine...

Where is he? What is his name? Male or female? Where does he study? Where does he work?

Stop, if you want to ask in such detail, I won't give you this kind of thing next time. I believe Lex will also be interested in it.

Bruce showed a rare hesitant expression. No scientific researcher could refuse this kind of inspiration from heaven, especially according to Schiller, this opportunity would come more than once.

Bruce had to admit that he was struggling again whether to endure his own skepticism and obtain more technology and inspiration, or to continue to follow his instincts, doubt everything, and then push away all Schiller's gifts.

Several times before, Bruce had already begun to doubt Schiller when he pulled out certain technologies out of thin air. However, he really had no good way to investigate and could only hope that Schiller would tell him. But now Schiller has expressed his attitude and wants the truth. , there is no technology, if you want technology, there is no truth,

Bruce's hand holding the model became tighter and tighter. Just when his hesitation reached its peak, he heard Schiller's devilish whisper:

I deliberately drove Lex away, not because I thought he didn't have the technology to make the light bulb I wanted, but because I felt that I had known you longer and understood you better than he did. The two of us are closer, so I chose to give this thing to you.

I know that you have never trusted me, or that you don't trust anyone. In view of your childhood trauma, I can understand your attitude, but if I choose not to trust you, then the one who remains today is Lake. That’s it.”

You should know that Lex is different from you and Clark. He is more like me. We both ignore laws and rules and are not afraid to use bottom-breaking means to achieve the goals we want.

So, you will meet one day. Logically speaking, if I stand on his side, it would be the best revenge for your distrustful attitude, but I don't want to do that.

Why? Bruce asked, looking into Schiller's eyes.

Because, there is not only one goal after another in this world, nor do I have to use the highest efficiency to complete them. The reason why people are called people is because, in addition to using rationality to judge the gains and losses of interests, they also pay attention to emotions. .”

You mean, your feelings prompted you to make this decision? Bruce's tone was a little stiff.

If I use pure rational thinking to judge this matter, then handing this thing to Lex should be a better choice. It can not only create an opponent for you, limit your development, but also find a similar position for yourself. As an ally, be prepared for your plan to deal with me one day.

But I chose another way, which is to hand this thing to you and make it clear why I made this choice.

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 had not made it all so clear, but now, Bruce already knows that Schiller chose sensibility between reason and sensibility. In Bruce's view, this was not the right choice, but he benefited. people.

This caused him to face a thinking dilemma. His brain, which was accustomed to thinking rationally, was telling him that Schiller was wrong to do this. His behavior and personality should not allow him to do such a thing, so Bruce's brain began to Analyze Schiller's motivations for doing this.

Schiller's words have clearly told Bruce that his motivation for doing this is emotion. For a long time, the emotional area of ​​​​Bruce's brain did not work and was blocked by a thick layer. Isolated by the door.

Alfred's existence is the key to the door, and the relationship with Catwoman is just a slight turn of the key. Elsa and Dick bumped into the door, causing the door to open a gap.

If others are opening the door through external force, then what Schiller does is more like opening the door from the inside out.

Schiller looked at Bruce's leaving back. The model was vaguely visible in the dark office, but because it was only a structural model and not a real Ark reactor, it was not bright and could not provide any light source.

But Schiller knew that with Bruce’s genius and wisdom, it wouldn’t take long to light up the Ark 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 to peek at the outside world.

If the bat insists on lighting a lamp in this dark city, Schiller doesn't mind and replaces his bat lamp with a brighter bulb.

Feeling dizzy and falling asleep
