The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 575: Lex's Journey to Gotham (Part 2)

When Lex and Coppert met and looked at each other, they suddenly had a premonition that the other party and themselves might be very similar.

This kind of similarity does not refer to their backgrounds or the resources they control, but the similarity in spirit and personality, that is to say, they are all born perverts.

There are many similarities between people with anti-social personality. The indifference, cruelty and violent temperament cannot be concealed by any type of appearance. Find resonance in each other's souls.

To some extent, this kind of people can be said to be the opposite of the theory of good nature. Many of them do not become perverted because of childhood trauma or psychological shadows. They are born like this and cannot be saved.

Cobbot has been doing well recently. He has become Alberto's right-hand man, and his status in the twelve families has risen all the way. It is foreseeable that when Alberto really becomes the next godfather, Copott will His surname can be engraved in the twelve families.

In terms of emotions, he is very familiar with the gang of vocational schools, and he also recruited all the children in Gotham, satisfying his desire for power, and at the same time learning from Victor, who is like his Like his father, he is constantly guiding and educating him.

But as I said before, Cobbot has gained a better life, has teachers and friends, and has a foreseeable bright future. However, he has not become a sunny and lively person because of this, he is still gloomy , indifference, lack of empathy for others, can derive pleasure from violence and controlling others.

This kind of personality does not change with changes in the external environment. If it is outside Gotham, his best destination is a mental hospital, but in Gotham, this kind of disease cannot be treated, nor does it need to be treated, or It's just a simple anti-social personality, which is already a model patient.

After the two were stunned at the same time, they both looked away and did not continue to look at each other. At this moment, Victor came out from another room and saw the two of them standing there. He took the stack of documents in his hand, and then patted Lex on the shoulder.

Lex followed him into the inner room, while Coppert continued to prepare the experimental supplies outside. He turned his head to look at the door from time to time. Through the frosted glass, he could see Victor and Lex face to face. Sitting, Victor seemed to be asking Lex some questions, and Lex answered very smoothly.

When the two came out, Victor seemed to be in a good mood. He introduced to Copperpot: This is Lex Luthor, and he will also be an assistant in the laboratory in the future. After 5 o'clock in the evening, he needs to borrow The laboratory conducts independent experiments, so you remember not to lock the door.

Coppert rarely turned his head to look at Victor, but nodded while busy with the matter in hand.

He quickly tidied up the utensils, then turned around and walked out the door to leave, Victor followed him, put his arms around his shoulders and said: Don't be sad, Cobbot, I won't let you conduct independent experiments because you are now His age is too young, even younger than him.

I don't know what's wrong with you, teenagers who plan to conduct such dangerous experiments, when I was your age, I only knew how to read science magazines, or burn my dad's tires with fire.

Don't worry too much, kid. You should study step by step, go to high school, and then go to college. When you go to college, you will have plenty of time to do experiments.

It takes time for water to freeze into ice, and it is the same for people to grow.

Coppert pursed his lips and said, No, I'm not jealous of him, it's just...

Coppert shook his head. He didn't know how to explain his intuition to Victor. He was always ashamed to reveal his past when facing Victor. For example, he used to be the killer of the godfather, for example, he killed many People, for example, are still killing people.

Whenever he entered a normal life, Coppert felt repulsed by his perverted desires that were outside the society, but whenever he did it, he couldn't control himself, and he couldn't quit. This thrill of persecuting and controlling others.

He can't tell Victor, because he is this kind of person, so he can keenly feel that the other person is also this kind of person, and he can't use his black history as evidence to remind Victor.

He took a deep breath, finally shook his head, said nothing, and slowly left along the corridor.

The sky was getting dark, after Victor was busy with his work, he said to Lex who was standing in front of the laboratory table and sorting out the materials: Thank you for your help, it's your free time now, and everything you want is also available. Get ready, remember to be safe, I'm leaving first.

Thank you. Lex smiled at Victor, who also shook his head slightly, turned and left.

After Victor left, as the sky grew darker, Lex concentrated on his own experiments. He was concocting a chemical agent to be launched into the sky to disperse rain clouds.

He has to make the shell first, and then prepare the launching device, so now he is conducting chemical experiments first, and then the mechanical manufacturing will be carried out in another laboratory.

Preparing chemical preparations is a job that requires a lot of concentration. He must constantly observe the reaction, and he must not be distracted for a moment. Lex concentrates on staring at the reaction in the test tube. The cold light of the laboratory shines on his face through the glass of the test tube. The scar of the next ray.

Suddenly, the shadow covered part of the light, and Lex dodged to the side suddenly, with a sharp knife cut his upper arm, and the blood spurted out.

The test tube was thrown out, and the reagent inside spilled onto the ground. After contacting the ground, there was a soft sizzle sound and a wisp of smoke came out.

With a click, the entire laboratory fell into darkness. Lex gritted his teeth and turned his head, and an extremely gloomy face appeared in the darkness. It was Copperpot.

When he appeared in the daytime, he just looked a little gloomy, but when night came, the dark and crazy temperament reached its peak, he was like a penguin jumping into the water from the surface of a glacier, changing from slow to swift, from the prey become a predator.

Are you crazy?! Cobbot!!! Lex yelled, We just met today, no grudges!

It seems that you don't have a correct understanding of your mental state. Copperpot said in a hoarse voice: But I just went to see a psychiatrist not long ago, and he told me that I am a lunatic.

Coppert held up a knife and approached Lex. Lex stepped back step by step, staring at his gloomy and distorted face. Copott continued:

More than that, he told me that if one day I meet someone who looks like me, then he must also be crazy.

We are a kind of people, born killers who cannot be cured, so I must kill you.

Lex felt that Cobblepot was unreasonable. He said, Why do you call me a murderer? I haven't even killed anyone!

One day, you will. Although Cobbot's figure is thin and small, the knife in his hand is shining coldly, and it can be seen from his posture that this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing , know how to use posture to bring pressure to the other party.

Lex gritted his teeth and said, Sure enough, the people of Gotham are all lunatics! Don't you need a reason to kill people?!

I said, because we are the same person, so I have to kill you.

Lex didn't know what to say anymore, maybe, this reflected the difference between Metropolis and Gotham.

All the villains in Metropolis commit crimes for a reason. They are either for profit, or for hatred, or for love and pursuit, but they are still committing crimes with ordinary people's logic.

But not Gotham, where the lunatics in Gotham might kill because they ate a steak they liked this morning, because of some crazy hallucinations and unfounded intuitions.

Many people may think that it is a crazy performance to break the bottom line of law and morality because of love and hatred, but it is not the case in fact. When the behavior can be perfectly connected into a line, it shows that he is still logical and not crazy.

True lunatics whose emotional drive and behavior have absolutely nothing to do with it, like the difference between Lex and Copperpot.

Because Lex doesn't agree with Clark's point of view, he feels that he hates him very much, and will go to him to trouble him, and maybe he will commit a crime against Clark in the future.

His hatred for Clark creates the impetus, and the impetus leads to his criminal behavior.

However, Cobbot is different from Lex, he is completely unfamiliar with Lex, not to mention any hatred, and he doesn't even know him, but he will have intuition and guess based on this, and this intuition makes him want to kill For Lex, there is no emotion, no impetus, and no logic that can be connected. It is just a fleeting hallucination, which becomes the reason to drive him to kill.

All the lunatics in Gotham are like this. Their behavior has no internal logic, so no one can fully guarantee that they will not be their targets. It's about whether a madman had his favorite steak this morning.

The moment Cobbot raised the dagger, there was a snap, and the crisp sound of glass being shattered came from outside the window.

Copott turned his head, and taking advantage of the moment he turned back, Lex grabbed the test tube rack on the laboratory table behind him and threw it towards Copott.

The test tube holder and the test tube hit Cobblepot's back together. The test tube shattered and scratched Cobot's skin, and blood flowed out. When raising the dagger, a deep and angry voice came from outside the room:

Thomas! Stop it! Stop your evil behavior!!!

There was a loud bang, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by a few heavy footsteps, and with a bang, the door of the room where Lex and Coppert were was knocked open, and a man rushed came in.

He was stunned as soon as he came in, he didn't seem to expect that there were other people in the room, and he knew that the pursuers behind him wouldn't give him much time to react, so he hesitated for less than a second in order to escape , and then rushed straight towards Lex.

Lex dodged to the side, but couldn't dodge at all, the tall man grabbed his arm directly, then strangled him from behind, he held Lex hostage and turned around.

At this time, the light outside the door followed the open door and left a bright square on the ground inside the house. A black shadow with pointed ears stood in the square like a played card.
