Chapter 179: The Wisdom of the Bat, Win in the Future
According to Chen Ang's plan, the seven members of the Unholy Alliance faced the seven members of the Justice League, and Fu Manchu was responsible for dealing with Batman, who should have been the easiest one, because Batman was just a mortal - the most powerful mortal was still a mortal. Batman's strength lies in his tactical acumen.
So when he gets enough information, he can defeat heroes and villains who are a thousand times stronger than him.
But this point is completely ineffective in the face of the Prophet, because the Prophet's superiority in intelligence has reached a crushing level, and what the Prophet does not want Bruce Wayne to know, he will never know.
That's why while the mysterious world of magic already knows something about the Council, Gotham City's Batman still doesn't know anything.
In the case of unfamiliar intelligence, in the face of an opponent who is crushed by strength, on a battlefield that is extremely unfavorable to him, without sufficient preparation, Chen Ang can casually pick out a person to defeat Batman, so why do you have to arrange Fu Manchu in a hurry? That's because Chen Ang wants him to defeat Batman, the brain of the Justice League, not Bruce Wayne, the mortal of Gotham City.
At least that's what Fu Manchu himself thinks.
As a ruthless villain, the most evil Oriental, Fu Manchu also has his own pride, his pride does not allow himself to just complete a puppet-like job, he wants to defeat Batman in the strongest place, he wants to face off with a real Batman, not like a slaughtering machine to end his life.
Fu Manchu listened to Batman tell the information he found from the minority report, and at the same time compared it with the information he knew, and slowly understood Chen Ang's thoughts, which was Chen Ang's demonstration to himself about the expectation of defeating Batman - not simply killing a mortal, but to mislead the mind of the Justice League, so that he could make his own judgment that the Justice League would fail miserably and that Chen Ang's plan would succeed.
It's like the Joker's obsession with crushing the spirit of the Dark Knight, forcing Batman to let go of his persistence and principles and identify with the Joker's thoughts.
Chen Ang also personally demonstrated, used intelligence to mislead, and controlled Batman's thoughts, and he even appeared as a villain himself, using seemingly reasonable reasoning to cover up his real crazy thoughts. So no one in the Unholy Alliance knew Chen Ang's true plan.
Now Batman is talking so much, in fact, it is still to get information.
Batman didn't even believe it himself, and expected him to sneak into a seemingly well-guarded place through the arrangement of the Third Prophet and obtain some sensational information, so he was convinced, which was too underestimating him. Thirdly, the prophet may mislead him, and the information obtained may be misleading, and to verify this, it is necessary to expand the exchange of information.
Even if it is an embarrassing conversation, you have to say so much in front of Fu Manchu, and then observe Fu Manchu's reaction.
"I thought I said so much, you would give me a reaction." Batman said suddenly, "But you're standing there, like nothing has to do with you." β
Fu Manchu smiled, Batman had already begun his temptation, it seems that this torture master is not only proficient in making suspects tell information in a small and dark secret room, with leather whips, dripping wax, pain and fear, but also proficient in obtaining information with exquisite language and superb acting skills between people in suits and leather shoes under the bright lights.
Fu Manzhou said calmly: "It's not a good thing to know too much, these things have nothing to do with me in the first place." β
"If it doesn't matter to you, you shouldn't listen to me." Batman said calmly.
"It's a struggle between prophets...... "Fu Manchu pretended to be just a little minion, some gray hair was scattered behind him, slightly longer than Stark, but there was a subtle same beard that was neatly repaired, he knew that Batman's psychology was good, maybe he was making a close-up of himself now.
"Your presence here shows that you have the support of a prophet. And the adults behind me...... will only be stronger than her. So you won't take anything with you today, you'll be buried here with all your secrets. Prophets can perceive all the traces of the world that have appeared, and as you said, if this world is really a virtual world that the prophets created and maintained, then they can see all the data of this world. β
"The Ultimate Archive was originally a black box created by a prophet, but the third prophet turned you into her virus and made you perceive everything in the black box, and being perceived by you means being perceived by her, so you don't have to say it on purpose...... When you see the minority report, it's no secret to the Prophet! β
Fu Manchu was meaningful: "You are already an outcast!" A Trojan virus that has entered the black box sandbox is no longer of value to those who have access to it! β
"The Third Prophet has obtained information, so you are not here to stop me, not to prevent the truth from leaking out." Batman's voice was hoarse: "No...... You're here to stop the leak of information, because the Third Prophet has some kind of tacit understanding with you, and what she knows doesn't mean we know. β
"What you really want to stop is the leak of information into the hands of the Justice League."
Batman wants to eliminate the interference of his subjective thoughts, and on the other hand, he has to speculate the facts in the limited information, at least he already knows that the Third Prophet can get the information he knows, so it is not of much significance to prevent the leakage of information, and the Second Prophet still sent someone to intercept him, this is not to kill people to vent his anger, but a purposeful act.
Batman sorted out a series of information, although he was still in the fog of intelligence warfare, but he at least guessed the enemy's next layout, and they wanted to ensure that this information was still within the controllable range that only the prophet knew, although Batman did not know what tacit understanding or agreement the second prophet and the third prophet had.
But it is clear that the Third Prophet's position is not against the Second Prophet, nor is it on the side of the Justice League, and the Third Prophet's only position is herself.
From this point of view, the Third Prophet is trying to use the Justice League, but it is not clear whether this use is benevolent or malicious.
"But at this time...... Batman made the right judgment, in the enemy's base camp, in the face of an enemy sent by the Second Prophet to kill him, there was absolutely no way he would bring back the information alive. In terms of intelligence...... Only the prophet can fight against the prophet, and only the authority can fight against the authority.
Although he left many clues before leaving, these can only reveal some of the information revealed by the Second Prophet before the trip, including the location of the headquarters of the World Security Council and some secrets of the committee.
The really important information that has been obtained has been intercepted.
Batman thought a lot at this moment, including the information about the prophet that he now knows that he can't distinguish between the true and the false, and he found that even if he ignores the terrifying idea that the world is a virtual world created by the prophet, just the known information, it is impossible for him to mislead and defeat the prophet in intelligence, and in the process of transmitting information, the prophet who knows everything has a million ways to play tricks.
"The only one who can fight against the prophet is the prophet."
This clichΓ© flashed through Batman's mind, and now there was only one possible way to pass on information - the Third Prophet.
To take advantage of the Third Prophet, Batman's eyes narrowed into a slit, he must establish a channel of communication with the Third Prophet, the Third Prophet's weakness lies in her personal qualities, as long as he can communicate with the Third Prophet, Batman has the confidence to influence the Third Prophet in turn, and his only weapon now is his mind.
Thirdly, the prophet knows everything, she can cover all the information, but her personal qualities are not enough to make full use of it.
Doesn't the Third Prophet need a master tactician like Batman?
"She must have thought so......" Batman stood in the perspective of the Third Prophet, thought about it, and found that his value to the Third Prophet was actually very important, as the known First Tactician, once Batman cooperated with the Third Prophet with unlimited intelligence capabilities, it was a completely inexplicable combination.
Third, why did the prophet not think of this?
In other words, she had already thought about it, and even thought about it more deeply, and also thought of the fatal flaw in it, and it was impossible for the two to reach mutual trust.
Batman doesn't trust anyone, and it is impossible for Batman to completely stand in the shoes of others, and it is impossible for Batman to agree with the position of the Third Prophet, so the Third Prophet needs to be careful and be used by Batman when he uses his tactical abilities.
Thirdly, it was impossible for the Prophet to trust Batman at all.
Such a state of mutual distrust makes Batman a chicken rib to her, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon it. That's why she used Batman as an outcast to get the intelligence of the minority report.
The key to breaking the game that Batman had already figured out was that he had to create an environment where the Third Prophet could trust him and then take advantage of the Third Prophet, an environment that was very difficult to create because it was too late to create trust. Next to the Second Prophet, Batman couldn't get out of here alive, not even the Second Prophet.
But who says that when a person dies, he can't control, serve, and influence others?
Batman figured it out, the only Batman the Third Prophet could trust was the Batman in her prophecy, the Batman in the future she saw.
Batman has a bold idea - the prophet can see all the future.
So can she see the present future, so is her current thoughts, existence, and in the future she sees, is the timeline she is in really real? Does she exist in the uncertain future she sees, or does what she says now change the 'now'.
For the 'present' is the 'future' for the third prophet of the past.
Batman decided to give it a try, so he began to tell a story about the idea of Batman in the time trap, in the future as seen by the Third Prophet, there is a timeline in which Batman decides to be loyal to the Third Prophet, of course, the Third Prophet will not believe easily, but this Batman poses no threat to the Third Prophet at all.
Because it's just a 'future', a third prophet rehearsal, Batman allegiances to her future.
This future exists forever in the future, because the Third Prophet doesn't have to let it happen in reality, then the Third Prophet can have a Batman tactician who only exists in an uncertain future, serving her, and she can get Batman's services without worrying about his tricks, because this Batman only exists in her rehearsal.
This is a 'Batman' who only exists for her.
Safe...... Harmless!
And this, Batman in the Time Trap, is very easy to hire, and the Third Prophet only needs to tell him Batman's own plans in the future she has rehearsed. Then Batman in the rehearsal will understand his plan and will take the initiative to cooperate and create a time trap.
And all the conspiracies of Batman in the preview will be discovered by the prophet, and the third prophet can trust him relatively.
Perfectly solved all obstacles.
After Batman finished saying this idea, he calmly died in the hands of Fu Manchu.
But in reality, the Third Prophet suddenly opened his eyes...... For the Prophet, the timeline is vague and exists in a way that is beyond anyone's imagination, and now the timeline goes back to before the Third Prophet Pit Batman went to the Ultimate Archives to check out the Minority Report. At this time, the most critical secret for the prophet recorded in the minority report collapsed and became unknown.
As for what this secret is, of course it is not what was written in the previous chapter, which is not unheard of to the prophet, but something that is not written at all, because the previous chapter is a future in rehearsal, so that secret is still a black box, still a secret. It is impossible to observe during the rehearsal.
And the future in this rehearsal will never come to fruition again.
Because Batman's words before he died, he managed to impress the Third Prophet, and he successfully broke the game, although he died in the rehearsal. But surviving in reality, the Third Prophet will no longer count Batman's death. She will keep Batman alive, and then tell Batman about the trick of Batman in the time trap in the rehearsal, inform him of his plan, win Batman's trust, and create a Batman trapped in the time trap to give advice to herself.
If Batman dies in reality, then the Third Prophet will not be able to rehearse the future where Batman is still alive, and the exclusive Brain Tank will not exist.
Batman used his own value to solve the deadlock.
At the same time, Fu Manchu, who had sneaked back, buried his head deeply after asking his doubts, but heard Chen Ang suddenly laugh, and Chen Ang said to him: "You lost the first duel with Batman!" β
"You're never going to be able to kill him again...... Because the Third Prophet did not allow it. Batman's tactical abilities plus the intelligence of the Third Prophet. You'll never have a chance again! β
"You're still letting me down!" Chen Ang sighed: "If you still don't understand why you ...... lost"
"Let's go down!" Chen Ang said to him: "Lost in the future...... It's pathetic. β
Fu Manchu walked out of the temple with a confused face, he came in confidently, and then was suddenly sentenced to lose, and then went out with a confused face, looking at the sky of the moon, Fu Manzhou was full of confusion - "Have I done anything?" βγ
"Where am I losing?"
"How did you lose...... How do I win it back? β
Even if the intelligence is misled, even if most of what he knows is fake, even if there is no chance of winning the battle, even in the face of Chen Ang's malice, Batman still uses a small part of the correct information he knows to solve the dead game and win in the future.
Unholy League vs Justice League takes place in the first battle of the future, and the brains of the Justice League comprehensively crush the Unholy League.
But Chen Ang was not disappointed, but smiled happily.
Because he also won...... The plan went incredibly smoothly...... Fu Manchu lost to Batman, but Chen Ang was the ultimate winner.
