Chapter 998: Battle for the Tower (32)

The riot in the mine was quickly quelled, because Merkel came over with people and found the miner slaves who had fallen to the ground, the trembling Hexagon hiding in the shadow mine, and the two red demons who had just risen from the ground.

But at this time, Mo Lun immediately ran over, nodded at Merkel and said, "Lord Merkel, I'm really sorry! Didn't scare you, did you?!

"I've said it so many times, don't call me sir." Merkel sighed, looked at Moren and asked, "What the hell is going on?" How could the Shadow Vine suddenly erupt?"

Mo Lun rolled his eyes for a moment, then showed an angry expression and said, "There is a shadow monster who disobeys the arrangement and wants to sabotage production, and after I found out, he has been quibbling, I want to take him back to prevent him from hindering the work of other groups, but he turns around and runs ......away."

"I chased him to the vicinity of the Shadow Mine, and he plunged into it, and deliberately provoked the Shadow Vine to kill us all, Lord Merkel, you must call the shots for us!"

Mo Lun showed a sad expression and said, "You just finished arranging the work today, and I was about to arrange the production task as you said, but he made such a mess, maybe he was dissatisfied with your grouping arrangement, so he wanted to hold us back!"

"I know that you are very busy at work, and there are still many tasks for you to arrange, so we will get it out and take it away, and the third group has always understood the importance of unity, and we will definitely bring him back to educate him well......

Moren deliberately used many of the words that Merkel used that would be obscure in hell, such as production, solidarity, work arrangement, etc., in his opinion, so that it would be easier to win Merkel's trust and prove that he had listened carefully to his lectures.

But even if Merkel is an operative, he has also experienced formal ideological education, and he can see at a glance that Morlen has not changed his mind, so he knows that Morlen's words cannot be fully trusted.

"I know, so let's go back first, I'll take this shadow monster back to the command post, if he is not satisfied with the work arrangement, I will transfer him to another team, if he wants to destroy production, I will educate him."

After Merkel finished speaking, he was about to approach the Shadow Mine, and Moren was anxious, he knew that the shadow monster had heard his plan, and in his opinion, this plan was to be kept absolutely secret, because it had to be taken by surprise in order to be able to succeed in the assassination.

"Wait a minute, Lord Merkel! The state of the Shadow Vine is now unstable, and if you lean over, it may be dangerous, so let's do it!" Moren had an idea, stepped forward to block Merkel's path, and then turned and approached Shadow Mine with a dagger.

Batman, who witnessed all this from God's point of view, frowned even deeper, because he knew that the body of the shadow monster was very fragile, and he had a fatal flaw, that is, the eyeball located in the center of the tentacle, which was their core organ, and as long as he stabbed it, this poor shadow monster would die.

Merkel looked at the still twitching Shadow Vine, and seemed to think that it was not a good idea to rush over it, he didn't know what the Red Demon was planning, and felt that it was a good thing for them to go and bring the frightened Shadow Monster out first, after all, if Shadow Vine went crazy again, the miner slaves here might be in danger.

Batman, who was tied to the stone pillar, began to struggle, and when he found that nothing was working, he turned to Schiller and said, "Let me go."

"Do you want to save him?" Without looking up, Schiller asked, "You want to save your poor friend?"

"But, Batman, you know what?" Schiller turned to look at Batman and said, "Have you ever thought that these two demons may be on the side of justice?"

"Of course, their motives are not pure, they want to kill you because they want to be the boss themselves, but in a sense, their plan is what we really want to see, do you know why?"

Schiller raised his head and looked around the inside of the mine, his gaze seemed to penetrate the mountain, looking into the thick fog in the sky of hell, and he said, "It is not only the mine that weighs on the heads of these slaves, but also you."

"You, Batman, the new mine owner, the new general, the hero who saved them from fire and water, but also, all the same, all proletarian

The enemies of the class are the exploiters, the mountains that weigh down on the people's heads."

Schiller looked Batman in the eye and said, "The wicked, cunning and stupid Red Demon is the brave, and you are the dragon."

"Any resistance of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie that exploits and oppresses them is reasonable and necessary, no matter what their purpose is in launching this revolt or what they intend to do to you."

Schiller said word for word: "Any capitalist who occupies the extra means of production, a vampire who extracts the value of the laborer's labor, a devil who squeezes the labor power of the worker, will be liquidated."

"Therefore, you should understand why we never mention these topics with you, the proletariat and the capitalists have no room for negotiation."

"If we are really willing to accept negotiations, like those weak people, and want to play the same game with you at the poker table, then, in October of that year, there is no need to raise the flag, but since the flag has been raised, only you will die."

Batman had never heard Schiller speak in such a sharp and extreme tone that he didn't even know if it was Schiller expressing his political stance or emphasizing to him the differences between them.

"But I didn't think about exploiting the workers." Batman looked at Schiller and said, "I pay them on time, I never go behind on them, and even in the world, Wayne Group employee benefits are the best."

"But the existence of the bourgeoisie is evil." Schiller didn't back down in the slightest, and he said, "Haven't you found it yet?"

Schiller took a deep breath, looked up, then lowered his head again and said, "Let's not talk about reality for a while, just take the situation in the mine as an example."

"You should have heard what the red demon said, do you think he did the right thing? Is this what you want, to be submissive, to put on a show, to gain power, to oppress others?"

Before Batman could reply, Schiller said for him, "Of course not, neither you nor we want such a person in the team, so why does such a person appear?"

Schiller looked at Batman, waiting for his answer, Batman thought for a moment, and then said, "Because of power, there must be people who want to gain power, and some of them who are morally weak and unscrupulous will use improper methods to gain power and oppress others."

Schiller nodded, then asked, "So where does the power come from?"

Batman frowned, his intelligent brain allowed him to grasp the key at once, but he didn't know what words to use to express what he thought of, so he could only say with some ambiguity: "Because by 'different', I don't mean the difference in strength or size, but the difference in status."

"We have a clearer word to refer to this difference you are talking about, and it's called 'class.'" Schiller looked at Batman and said seriously: "Power in the narrow sense comes from the gap in class, so where does class come from?"

Batman's brow never lifted, and he was silent for a few moments before he said, "Because what you have is different."

"What you say you have, we also have a word to refer to it, that is called "capital", the capital of possession is different, which leads to the emergence of different classes in society, and power is one of the ways in which class is manifested."

"The reciprocity of power is not responsibility, but class, and the so-called "greater power, greater responsibility" is the product of capitalism's evasion of talking about class and deliberately changing concepts."

"Power is never accountable to responsibility, it comes from the class, it is only accountable to the class, power is, and is only a tool to defend the class."

Schiller made the logic very clear, so Batman also understood what he was going to say, Schiller looked at Batman and said, "The existence of class is the root of all injustice, so our ultimate goal is to eliminate class."

"However, classes are divided by the amount of capital, and in which class do you think you will be divided into?"

Batman didn't answer, but he knew that Schiller didn't need to answer, this question was too simple, whether it was in hell or in reality, Bruce Wayne, that is, Batman, was a capitalist with a lot of capital.

"You mean, it's because of me that someone like Moron is here? But even if he doesn't have power, he can't use power to oppress others, and his evil will make him use other methods to harm others." Batman pointed out one of the loopholes.

"The question you are talking about is called law, or the ultimate form of human society, we have discussed it before, but we have not discussed it in depth, and we will not talk about this issue today, because it has nothing to do with the answer you are looking for."

"Isn't it contradictory that you say that the Red Devils are the brave and brave proletarians who resist, but you don't deny that they are evil beings who use power and class to profit for themselves?" Batman immediately grabbed another loophole.

"It's a contradiction between what they do and what they think, and in terms of behavior, they do exactly what you and Merkel need, to have independent thinking, to have the practical ability to put ideas into action, to have ambition and desire, and to be willing to work hard for themselves and the benefits they can obtain."

"Don't you think it's the opposite of the numbness you hate? It's just that, judging from the moral standards of human beings, they have no conscience and have violated the public order and good customs of society, and they have not completely violated it."

Schiller turned his head to look at the field, at this time, the two red demons were already chiseling the shadow mine, but because of the special nature of the shadow mine, they would not be able to deal damage to the hexagon hidden in it for a while.

"Did you put this shadow monster on the battlefield?" Schiller asked.

"Shadow monsters aren't fit to go on the battlefield." Batman's tone was a little nervous, he knew that Schiller was going to go through the old accounts, but he didn't know which old accounts he was going to turn over, he said, "This race is not suitable for war, besides, Hexagon's foot injury is not healed."

What he didn't expect was that Schiller nodded and didn't say anything, but then, he pointed out, "Did you let him join the labor group?"

"His foot injury is not yet healed, and he is not yet fit to work." Batman replied again.

"Is this what he told you?" Schiller looked at Batman and asked if he told you, "He can't go to the battlefield and isn't fit to work, so do you need you to go through the back door for him?"

Batman shook his head, Schiller turned his head back again, looked down, and said, "Are you really not exploiting the workers?"

"The power you bring by taking advantage of the class gap between you and theirs relieves your friend, the shadow monster, of the toil of going to war and toiling, but at the same time the responsibility that he does not bear will be shared among the others."

"Why do you want to drive them to war?" Schiller asked another question, but then he replied, "For victory? And what is the victory for?"

Instead of taking himself to Hell, Batman is brought to Gotham, and he answers, "I want them to have a happy life."

"But if victory were yours alone, they would never have a happy life." Schiller seemed to have lost the patience to explain slowly, so he said very bluntly:

"You have won, but nothing will change, and the people will not have a happy life, because victory does not really belong to the people."

"The people, the biggest obstacle between victory and the happy life you want......" Schiller said, looking Batman in the eye, "it is you."
