"It's really a question worth pondering." Konstantin touched the bottom of his nose and said, "From the diary you found, he has been trying to imitate ordinary people, but always failing, so he has a different method, and that is to design a tower, which is the temple of mind that we saw in his soul before." ”

"The diary does not explicitly state whether this method was successful or not, but from what we have done with Schiller, it is clear that he has been able to live in an ordinary society, at least now, compared to his almost completely normal youth, which proves that this method is very likely to have succeeded."

Batman nodded and said, "And from the conversations you heard, we know that the young Schiller suffered from autism, and it may be scholar-type autism, which may give people a super memory and special talent for a certain aspect. ”

"If he really solves his mental problems, then it's not surprising that he can become a top psychologist by studying, I think, that's probably the case."

"As a child, Schiller suffered from scholar-type autism, and because of his natural talent and inability to communicate with others, he began to build a tower of building blocks in his own mental world."

"However, the mysterious organization broke into the orphanage one day and killed everyone there, and this stimulus caused the building block tower built by Schiller to collapse, and the spirit was also stimulated to a certain extent, which manifested itself in aphasia, loss of ability to think, and only instinctive reactions."

"The people of the mysterious organization took him, maybe to Germany, or maybe to other places, and conducted experiments on him, which we can assume as the use of mental stimulation to enable ordinary people to release the brain's restriction on muscles, so as to gain great power and become a powerful killer with special abilities."

"Schiller spent his teenage years in the mysterious organization, and as the mysterious organization expected, he became an extremely powerful and indifferent killer, so they planned to use Schiller to go to a certain country and do something we can think of."

"However, when they sent Schiller back to the country, Schiller suddenly broke free from their control and killed them all."

"His disturbance was discovered by some official organization in the country, so they subdued Schiller, contained him, and took him to the so-called Ninth Administration, where they wanted to restore his spirit to normal."

"Because the building block tower collapsed and he was not treated during the golden treatment period, Schiller could not return to the life of ordinary people through simple camouflage, so he had to change his method and put together the collapsed building block fragments to become a thinking tower."

"After having the temple of mind, Schiller's spirit gradually returned to normal, and because of his extraordinary talent and psychological trauma, he chose the path of psychology, and achieved good results, and finally came to Gotham University and became a professor."

Konstantin also agreed with this conclusion, he nodded and said: "In this way, Schiller's growth process is still very inspiring. ”

But Batman said in a low tone: "What I care about most is that the mysterious organization that once took Schiller, British agent ......"

Seeing Batman look at him, Konstantin looked him up and down and said, "What are you looking at me?" And not every Englishman is an agent. ”

But when he said this, Konstantin seemed to remember something, and said: "But I saw that the tower painted on the second diary you took out has a lot of patterns, but Schiller's current thinking tower is very smooth, without any traces, what is going on?" ”

Batman took out the journal again, and the three of them came together, looking at a picture on it, and Batman said, "This may just be a blueprint, these patterns are to show where each piece is put together......"

Konstantin shook his head slightly and said, "Even if you can put it together, will it really not leave any traces?" The tower of thinking we see now is simply flawless, with no traces of stitching.

"Maybe you don't know, Batman, the human soul is a very fragile thing, you can see one scar after another on the soul of the mentally ill, even if they have been healed by treatment and medicine, this trace will not disappear."

"I prefer to see the collapse of Schiller's thinking tower as the collapse of the soul, his state of not being able to speak or act on his own is like an empty shell without the control of the soul."

"And if he somehow reassembles his soul, it will never leave no trace." Konstantin said very firmly, and Zatanna also helped: "That's right, although I have not seen people whose souls have completely collapsed, many people have had a small piece of their souls collapse. ”

"The collapsed parts may be able to be reassembled later, and some people may even be able to glue all the pieces together and restore them to their original shape, but this does not mean that there are no traces of the bonding, and if you look at it from the spirit world, their souls are full of holes."

Zatanna looked at Konstantin, who hesitated, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, okay, I'm using a blindfold, after all, no one wants to move with a scar, right?" ”

After speaking, his body emitted a faint shimmer, Batman squinted his eyes, and he saw that Constantine's body suddenly appeared one crack after another, and even some places seemed to be burned.

These scars don't seem to be caused by one thing, some are deep and some are shallow, some are large and some are small, but from a distance, there is no good place on the whole body.

"That's the price of using magic." Konstantin shrugged his shoulders a little indifferently and said, "I have cut my soul more than once, using it as bait, and it is not completely impossible to completely erase these wounds, but the power required is too much. ”

"Even if my reputation is much better than it is now, there will be no one willing to lend me so much power at once, and neither can Lucifer, because it is very likely to cause instability in the world, which will cause very serious consequences."

After saying that, the scars on Konstantin's body gradually disappeared, he looked down at himself, and then said: "You can disguise it anyway, it's not bad, right?" ”

"If the memories we see in Schiller's memory space are real, and his soul has collapsed, it is impossible not to leave a scar." After Konstantin said this, Batman's eyebrows were twisted together again, and he began to doubt what he saw again.

"I said, have you forgotten what we're here for?" Zatanna spoke up, "We're not here to explore the professor's past, we're targeting the Curse Medium. ”

After speaking, she glanced down at the building blocks in her hand, and her face showed a trace of hesitation, but then, as if talking to herself, she said: "This is also for his good, no matter who it is, even if it is a powerful magician, mastering such a powerful curse medium, it means that he will never recover." ”

"The more powerful it is, the more it comes at a cost." Zatanna shook her head and said, "Those greedy dark mages will never understand this truth, it is not that they are using a curse, but that the curse is controlling them. ”

Then, she looked firm, looked at Batman and Konstantin and said: "A weak item can be a support for a scene, and three items are three scenes, I think, this is completely enough, when I used this trick before, one piece was enough, after all, fake memories are extremely deceptive, and it has nothing to do with willpower." ”

Zatanna looked at Batman and said, "Would you doubt your memory?" Do you suspect that someone else made up something you remember? ”

Batman was silent, but Zatanna said, "Most people feel that their memories are reliable, and it is this that the mind magicians use to weave dreams and make up memories to achieve their goals." ”

Seeing Batman's darker and darker face, Konstantin coughed twice and said, "However, now that the Men are trapped in this memory space, we must find a way out." ”

"If there is a common path in these three memory spaces that are separated, then there must be other paths that connect to a calmer memory space." Zatanna said as she pondered, "Generally speaking, the way out will be in the place where the other person is least willing to face......"

"If the follow-up office isn't the right answer, then where?" Batman spoke, "From the clues we know now. It can only be deduced that he has suffered several failures in the follow-up room, so he is not willing to face it. ”

Zatana shook her head and said: "No, the logic of the real world may not be able to be used in the memory space, and failure does not mean that you are unwilling to face it, don't forget, at this time, he is still a mental patient, and the things he likes and hates may not have logic." ”

Batman touched the fingers of his wrist and paused, feeling that what Zatanna said also made sense, he had studied psychology, so he knew that the mentally ill person's perception of the world was different from ordinary people, adults would be depressed when they encountered a blow, and they would be happy if they succeeded, but this is not necessarily the case for mentally ill people.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the plan made to fail again and again may leave a psychological shadow on people, and they are unwilling to go to the place where they fail again, but in the eyes of the mentally ill, it may be a game.

After all, Schiller's diary was only a mechanical record of the development of some things, and no emotions were expressed, so it was indeed uncertain that the follow-up room was the last place he wanted to go.

"What else is more likely than the follow-up room?" Konstantin also began to think, but Zatana said directly: "The clues in our hands now are definitely not enough to deduce the specific answer, but there is another way." ”

"Another way?" Batman looked at her and asked, "What is it?" ”

Zatanna beckoned to him, then walked to the door, opened it, and found that Schiller was not here, so she walked out of the door with confidence, and said, "Follow me." ”

Neither Konstantin nor Batman figured out what she was talking about, but they followed her out the door, and Zatanna walked to the door of the room next to the tool room, reached out and pushed it open, glanced inside, shook her head, and closed the door.

Then she walked to the opposite room, opened the door again, looked inside, shook her head, and closed the door.

Then she walked forward, to the room in the middle of the hallway, opened the door, closed the door, and just as she was about to continue walking, she turned around and found that both Konstantin and Batman had stopped where they were.

Zatana stood a few meters away and looked at them, and asked with some confusion, "What are you doing?" Why can't you pay it back? ”

Batman also stared at her, and after a few seconds, he slowly spoke:

"The method you are talking about can't be an exhaustive method, right?"
