When Bruce met Schiller in the inquiry room, he was still wearing a straitjacket and a face mask, and he was not exonerated as Amanda had said.

From the look between his eyebrows, Bruce understood that he had been waiting for him here for a long time, and it was time for this series of farces to end.

As Bruce sat across from Schiller, every detail of the whole thing, from beginning to end, began to play out in his head.

If Bruce had to sum up this incident, it would be that for the first time, he found that everyone in the game was arrogant, glorifying themselves, and not perfect.

Bruce felt that Schiller was an autistic patient and therefore needed to be treated, and the treatment method was to bind himself to himself, and he could never be separated from the society of ordinary people, regardless of whether arrogance wanted freedom or not.

Thomas, who is Bruce's father, presets the scene in his heart, he is the most important person in Bruce's life, and Bruce will definitely not live well without him, so it is inferred that Bruce must have gone down the wrong path.

Thomas failed to conceal this line of thought, and Schiller caught a loophole in his heart, and Schiller gave him more affirmation, aiding and abetting, and making him more convinced of what he envisioned.

And as his father's authority, he felt that he was doing good for Bruce, so he used violent means to force him to bow his head, feeling that his judgment and advice must be right, and the other party must listen and do what he says, otherwise he will definitely live a more miserable life.

As for Schiller, who is Bruce's teacher, the sick Schiller felt that he was doing it for the sake of arrogance, so he forcibly bound him to Batman without asking his opinion.

Arrogant felt that he was also for Bruce's good, in order to let him pass the exam and face the dangers that might come, so he continued to establish his authority for four years and oppressed Bruce as a father.

To put it simply, everyone is constantly implementing their will in other people, and firmly feels that their will is right and for the good of the other person, and this is the essence of patriarchy.

It is difficult to tell whether patriarchy is power in the cloak of love or love in the cloak of power.

Perhaps, the father's suggestion is right, perhaps, the son's resistance is also right, but this cannot be concealed, everyone is hurting each other in the name of love.

And at this time, we have to talk about the old saying again, love is not control, but fulfillment.

More importantly, you can't just give the other party what you want, and you can't force him to accept it.

When Bruce sat across from Schiller, he had already thought about this, but he still had a question that he didn't understand, so he looked at Schiller and asked, "...... Aren't you angry? ”

Bruce was furious when he found out that Thomas was using violent means to treat him, but in fact it was only because he had resisted him before, and he found out that Thomas was taking revenge.

Because of this violent method, the starting point is no longer love, it is the result of patriarchal degeneration, just to vent one's selfish desires.

And Bruce knew that he had done it too, originally. All this should have ended after he made Schiller drink blood, because the starting point of this move was still to bind Schiller to ordinary people's society, to let him be cured.

But then, Bruce used his morbid view to make the arrogant Schiller unable to disarm the controller at will, and let him return to the cell, which was indeed a four-year torturing of each other between him and Schiller before revenge.

So, isn't Schiller angry?

If he was angry, why didn't he just leave prison and go back to Gotham?

Bruce knew that whether Schiller rushed back and beat him up, or used a complicated yarnball-like plan to make him unlucky, he didn't really have a good way to resist, and he would definitely feel the pain.

But Schiller didn't do that.

Bruce was desperate to hear the answer, so he stood up. He walked behind Schiller, put his hands around his neck, removed his mask, and unlocked the locks of his suit, which was fastened to his chair.

In the next second, Bruce spun around, and with a "bang", Schiller threw him directly to the ground, and then stood beside him, looking at him condescendingly.

"You're not going to be a bit of a fluke about not being angry with me, are you, Bruce?"

Bruce, who was fallen, instantly felt black in front of his eyes, his physical condition was not good, and he fell heavily to the ground, making him feel that his lungs were split into several petals.

"I know you're angry, but why ......"

"Because I'm your teacher." A black umbrella slowly appeared in Schiller's hand.

Bruce didn't see anger in Schiller's eyes, there was more helplessness.

"I know, you want to save me, I know that your starting point is love, and I will receive your affection, so it is all the more important to preserve a little ......dignity for our relationship," Schiller said in a deep tone.

Bruce's eyes slowly widened, he looked straight at Schiller, Schiller picked up the umbrella, stroked the surface of the umbrella, lowered his eyes and looked at Bruce and said:

"The best education in the world is to teach by example, and I have to do it before I can teach you how to rebel against patriarchy and how to exercise it."

Before Bruce could even be moved, a strong premonition of danger enveloped him, and Schiller placed the umbrella in front of him, and a sharp knife suddenly appeared on the tip of the umbrella.

"Thank you for your kindness, I am very moved, but I don't accept it, if you want to force me to accept it, you are just satisfying your selfish desires, since this is the case, you will bear the consequences."

As the words fell, Schiller held the handle of the umbrella and plunged it into Bruce's abdomen from top to bottom, splattering blood everywhere.

Bruce curled up in pain, the umbrella knife did not stab the vital point, but it only made him hurt more, and in the haze, Schiller's posture of pulling out the knife was still very elegant and very decent, in stark contrast to his hysteria.

Looking at the smile on Schiller's face, Bruce knew what he was going to say, this was a reverse game, and whoever understood earlier the truth of giving in for love would win.

Schiller backed down earlier than he did, gave him more, understood love better than he did, and the clown won, again.

And it was at this moment that Bruce realized that he was a hopeless megalomaniac, and that he wanted to win even when it came to giving in, fulfilling, and giving love to others.

At this point, it doesn't matter who loves whom more, the main thing is to win.

So, Bruce, who was lying on the ground, covered his wounds, looked at Schiller with a sloppy gaze, and said word by word: "It seems...... We all get it...... Love is not taking, it is giving, it is giving the other person what they want most......"

"And I know...... What do you want most...... It's freedom. ”

With that, Bruce grabbed the umbrella that hadn't left his body too far.

Before Schiller could react, Bruce grabbed the umbrella, pulled Schiller's arm holding it, and brought the umbrella knife close to his neck.

Then, without hesitation and resolutely, he cut the artery on the side of his neck.

"Whoa!"

The last scene Bruce saw was the professor who never smiled, and it could be called a panicked expression.

About a few hours later, in the room at Wayne Manor, Bruce, with bandages around his neck, chest, and abdomen, was lying on the bed with a blank face, and Schiller, with a stiff expression and a glazed eye, collapsed on the chair next to him.

On the other side of the bed, Gordon, Victor, Alberto, Copote, Thomas, Lucifer, Alfred, and even Amanda and Angela stood in a row.

Their eyes did not fall on Bruce and Schiller, but on another tall figure at the end of the bed, which was Clark Kent.

"Friends, can anyone explain to me why this is???" Clark spread his hands, his gaze brushing over everyone's faces.

In the face of the very sincere and puzzled eyes of the young man in the small town, everyone was speechless.

"What you just said about the experience of Bruce and Schiller, can I also understand that two mentally ill people, without control, were forced to hurt each other in a very complicated relationship for four whole years, and all of you, just look at ???"

Clark spread his arms a little wider, and raised his voice, which was already sharp like the cry of a lamb on the farm when it was born:

"Isn't there anyone in charge???!!!"

"Do you realize that the two of them are mentally ill??? There was disbelief in Clark's tone.

"They are incapacitated people! Someone needs to be cared for, someone to look after them, someone needs to help them live! This is common knowledge that even the country doctors who work in our small town know...... You're big city people!! ”

Clark walked up to Schiller and Bruce, pointed at them with both hands, and said:

"It's because the city is incredibly rotten that you should realize what's wrong with the two of them when they're here like a fish in water!! What kind of superb IQ is required for this kind of common sense judgment?!! ”

The people on the other side looked a little embarrassed, and Victor cleared his throat and said, "But they themselves feel that they don't need help, and we can't ......."

"Every mentally ill person thinks he's not crazy!" Clark looked at Victor in disbelief and said, "If they all listened to them, then there would be no need for a psychiatric hospital in this world!" ”

"I don't think it's that serious......" Lucifer said.

Clark stared at the expression on his face, clearly writing, "You look at the current state of the two of them, and say it again".

Lucifer was out of words, and Gordon coughed twice and said, "Indeed, they are a little out of line this time......

"It's a bit out of line?!!!! Oh my God! A student sent his teacher to prison and tortured him, a teacher tricked the student's father into trouble with him, broke three of his ribs, and finally the teacher stabbed him, and the student grabbed the knife in the teacher's hand and wiped his neck, and then, you call it 'a bit out of line'??!! ”

Clark took a deep breath, he clutched his chest and took two steps back, looked at everyone present and said, "You should all go to a mental hospital, I'm serious!" ”

Thomas frowned, Bruce's last few words had already made him understand that Schiller might be lying to him, so just as he wanted to open his mouth to express his dissatisfaction with Schiller, Clark stretched out his hand and stopped everyone from talking.

"Whatever you think, I think I have to take responsibility for my friend's malfunction, which may be caused by my neglect of his attention, not providing him with the help he wants, or not providing help in a timely manner."

"And when that happens, I have to make up for what I owe him by improving his situation as much as possible."

Clark crossed his hands on his hips, glanced at Bruce, then at Schiller and said, "Bruce is my good friend, and Schiller is the division commander I have always respected." ”

"I'm sorry that both of them are mentally ill, but according to my shallow medical knowledge, the most important thing now is to separate them and let them have a quiet, warm and comfortable environment for recuperation."

"The city is sunny, humid all year round, and the rain here is strange, which is the opposite of the environment for the mentally ill, but our friends, unknowingly, let them live here for four years, neglecting to take care of them, I think, this is the main culprit of their disease progression to today!"

"Therefore, we should send them to a sunny, warm, and comfortable environment, and then end their care after they are truly mentally able to take care of themselves...... Is there anyone against it? ”

When Clark said these words, his voice trembled a little, obviously he was angry to the extreme, and Clark himself in this state didn't realize how powerful he was, causing the group of demons and monsters on the opposite side to be stunned and didn't speak.

"Alright, then it's decided! I think my farm in my hometown of Kansas is a good environment, so I'm going to take one of them, and now, you two decide, who's going to come with me! ”

Bruce, who was lying on the bed, said in an angry voice, "I have a plan, we can ......"

"No plan!" Clark immediately interrupted him.

Schiller said in the same angry voice: "How about we make a bet?" Just bet on ......"

"No bets!" Clark interrupted again.

"Your confused, insane, hallucinatory brains are not fit for any plans, and don't want to bet with anyone...... Now, now, right now, guess the box! ”

In the end, it was Bruce who chose to follow Clark away, not because he lost his guess, but mainly because he couldn't lift his arm, while Schiller could.

is still the same sentence, even if Batman is dead, buried, and the grass on the grave grows, he will let out a cry from the deep underground "Anyone can win him, but the Joker can't!" ”

In a sense, this may also be the will of the universe, which makes people helpless.

And Lucifer was going to take Schiller to the West Coast, and the business of the bar had been bad, so he had long planned to change cities.

After the crowd dispersed, Lucifer stood in front of the window at the end of the corridor of Wayne Manor, and when he saw Clark approaching, he said, "They are really lucky to have a friend like you. ”

"No, I'm lucky to be able to help my friends, to let them know that I love them, to let others feel my love, and to make me feel happy."

Lucifer lowered his head, as if he had thought of something, and after a while he spoke, "Once, I had a friend like this, but my arrogance made me mess everything. ”

"You can apologize to him." Clark said directly.

"He's gone."

"Then go find him."

"He's dead."

"Then apologize for his tombstone."

Lucifer stared at Clark, he didn't know what to say, the young man in front of him was simple and straightforward, outrageous, even a little naïve, but perhaps it was because of this naivety that what he said had a kind of fascinating magic.

Late at night, in the hall of the Rodriguez manor, Merkel asked with some concern: "Do you really need me to come with you?" Professor Schiller's self-care skills are a bit ......"

Lucifer shook his head, he looked at the luggage that had been packed, turned upstairs, and said as he went, "This is the last night he will spend in the manor, I'll go see if he sleeps well." ”

After entering the room, Schiller was already asleep, prison days were not so easy to pass, and the scene of Bruce's blood splattering reminded him of certain memories that he thought were long gone.

The white and huge angel's wings spread out and drooped down, helping Schiller to hide the disturbing dream-disturbing light that came through the cracks in the curtains, causing his brow to slowly unfold, and those nightmares were gone, and Schiller finally sank into sleep.

The sound of the rain and the rumbling thunder sounded at the same time, and the "I'm sorry" that was mixed in sounded like a sigh of regret and a cry of sadness.

Huh!

Some accused Bruce of being abnormal

Some accused Schiller of being abnormal

Little fools

That is, there is no possibility

Neither of them is normal

The people around are also abnormal

The only normal person in the audience

Kryptonians

(Not even human)

Old liars .jpg

Hahaha
