Chapter 1287: Greedy Cicada Hunting (Part II)
"I'm going to Mercury's base right now." Batman's tone had never been so firm, he said, "I know that you love arrogance so much, love his arrogance that can reject everything, which you can't do, and it is because you do not refuse that you are greedy." ”
"Rejection is hard for you, but not for arrogance, you envy him, hate him, but love him, you complement each other and can never be separated, and I am his friend, and I am also arrogant."
"So, if you meet my request, I'll say something nice about you to Arrogant, you know he's angry right now, and you're willing to do it for your unreasonable actions, aren't you?"
Batman stated the affirmative sentence with another interrogative sentence, and the greed sitting next to him, for the first time, felt that things were out of control, and he scolded the arrogant and rash measures ten thousand times in his heart, but he still nodded involuntarily.
Batman said it to his heart, hating arrogance, but also loving arrogance, hating his rejection, and loving his rejection.
Greed can never refuse, will not refuse, and is unwilling to refuse, greed is so greedy, it is like a nightmare of arrogance, for his greed can tolerate all rudeness, like an addict with no bottom line and no principles.
Sharing a bed with arrogance? Greed can't imagine this, they are two completely opposite sides, so they can take over the control of the body in turn, with the permission of the superego and the pathology.
These two mature and cunning personality traits understand that they will never be able to play together, but they will always be attracted to each other.
Therefore, greed can't refuse Batman's offer, how can he be as cruel as arrogance? How could he refuse? He couldn't do that.
Because he was greedy for Batman's change, for the euphoria that his transformation process could provide him, of course he had to help, he had to tolerate him, and he had to satisfy his needs as much as possible, in order to prove to him that greed was far more loyal than arrogance to anyone.
In this way, tell Batman to release his greed, greed will be Batman's eternal loyalty, more loyal than arrogance, always closer to his heart than arrogance, and make Batman feel guilty for his actions to lock up his greed.
Only in this way can Batman truly realize how stupid and ridiculous his behavior is in the same place, his so-called principle of not killing is the result of being domesticated by society, he should have been more ambitious, more greedy, and used another crazy and terrifying way to achieve his goals.
If he didn't, he should feel guilty about it, he should feel guilty for limiting greed to a little corner of his heart, and even cry out about it, just like greed is doing.
Greed was about to cry, and he said, "Of course I want you to see all this, let you see, what the hell have I done, let you see, how much difference greed can bring to a person, your best friend should not be arrogant, but greedy." ”
"You don't resist me as much as you used to." Batman concluded, "You realize that it's meaningless, and you think it's not right, and that's what you say to me. ”
"I want you to know that greed is the most loyal to you, that what bursts out of the very essence of your personality, loves you more than arrogance, deserves to be possessed by you more than arrogance, and that you should keep it forever."
"You'll never understand how sad I am when I see you being ridiculed by those fools because of your principle of not killing, and you have to endure so much responsibility and insults, so much incomprehension without only one me."
"But those fools off the page will never understand that your unwillingness to kill those criminals is exactly what I told you, and that I whispered in your ear, 'They shouldn't have been killed.'"
Schiller was almost on Batman's ear, and he kept muttering: "Killing them is the most terrible way to deal with it, if you kill them once, it means that you kill me, you kill your ambition and greed, because you know that they are valuable, more precious and valuable than the entire Wayne Group." ”
"Those off-screen spectators will never understand us, they won't understand how valuable those smart criminals really are, they shouldn't be killed, they never should be, they should be firewood, they should be the most precious fuel in the fire that ignites you to disperse the clouds of Gotham."
"Death is simply an insult to me, and it is an insult to you, and death will make it easy for this precious wealth to be lost and thrown into the arms of others."
"Trust me, Batman, you must not do that, you should stick to your non-killing principle to the end, so that an existence like me can remind you that you have room to redeem your ambitions when you should do it."
"After you return, you have the opportunity to free those lunatics from the Arkham Asylum, and use the genius and wisdom of each of them to take the sun by the throat and let this lowly star shine into your kingdom."
"Instead of kneeling at their graves and weeping, crying of their wisdom and inspiration, as those fools would expect, and throwing it to the land."
"They should have lived for you in more precious ways."
"I am your strongest supporter of the principle of not killing, Batman, please believe this, those living beings have wisdom that death can understand, only you can understand them."
"Love them with your greed, understand them, and fulfill their burning hearts for you, as you see."
"I have made this group of stupid heroes, who are forever confined to personal vendettas, work for this goal, and even produce a stronger greed than I do, and even compare their greed with others."
"Look at what they've done, see how I've made them great......"
"I don't want you to imitate me, nor do I want you to let me control you after you release me, but you should control me, and you should use your greed to surprise all the spectators and drop their jaws."
"Make them feel surprised and ashamed of the no-kill principle that accuses you, you have to do it, it's the only way you can save Gotham."
"But arrogance tells me that he has pushed the blues of his world to another path, and I see light and hope on this path." Batman responded.
"But you know that you have missed that fork in the road a long time ago, you have long been unable to embark on such a bright path, Batman, stop having that childish fantasy, if you didn't meet me ten years ago, then ten years later, you won't change because of me." Greed said with a long sigh.
"You're not a young Bruce anymore, you've chosen your own path and you've taken it firmly, it's destined to be a dark path, and like I've walked, you don't have another chance to choose."
"Don't tell me you're a coward. Counting on time to rewind is like restarting your universe, don't tell me you expect that angel named Lucifer to reset your timeline back to your youth, such a cowardly person is not worthy of being my friend. ”
"Have I shaken your will? Do you regret it? It makes you feel that you didn't take the road of light ten years ago, did you choose the wrong one? ”
"But don't think so." Greed looked at Batman with tearful eyes, like Schiller's greed, and like Batman's greed.
He said, "That means you love only pride and not me, but you should love your greed." ”
"You've gone down this path, there's no going back, Batman, see the facts, you're a dark island that can no longer border any land, including your closest birds, and now it's just me who understands you."
"The only thing that can understand you is the greed hidden in your heart, the desire to control the stars, the desire to control the stars, the control of all universes...... Greedy. ”
"If those angels knew that you were saying this to me, and that you wanted me and the Lord Universe to change, he would probably kill you." Batman spoke, "They want the main universe to remain the same, and continue to go this way at the pace they planned. ”
"But you know that the end of such a pace is that you act like a real clown, putting on a play for fools who will never understand you, so that they can judge you with what little intelligence they have left, but they are not qualified to do that."
"How terrible, Batman! Those who question you are more shameful and speechless clowns than clowns, and you follow the principle of non-killing that instinct retains, and the precious resources you have hoarded for yourself are, in their eyes, a sign of your cowardice. ”
"They even feel that this is something given to you by the will of the universe, and even feel that there is a higher being that controls you to do this, and they have never understood you as much as I and arrogance do, and understood what amazing intuition your precious gifts have provided you, and understood that the only way to save Gotham is if you don't kill them."
"Unlock the cage, Batman! Don't let those clowns use their barren and ridiculous ideas to manipulate you anymore, don't let them laugh at you like this, don't you even have the most basic self-esteem?! ”
"If you don't have arrogance, how can you be a friend of arrogance? Hurry up and pick up your arrogance, pick up your self-esteem, prove it to those spectators, prove that your choice is right! ”
Greed looked at Batman with bright eyes and said, "I've proven to you that this is not a dead end!" ”
"Now, let go of your worries and concerns, let go of all your pessimism, go and open that lock, and treat me as your dear friend, your relatives and friends, the love you have never received since the loss of your parents, will come to me, release him, Batman!"
"You're not a clown." Batman repeated this fact again.
But at the same time, he also felt a coldness gather in his eyes, when his parents died, he did not cry, but when greed pleaded with him, the unexplained sadness and despair, let his tears fill his eyes.
"The clown is never as crazy as you, or, I put madness in another word, madness is not so greedy, madness is not like yours, let me release my human nature, madness does not make me have such a terrible desire for the sun."
"I have never reproached the distant sun that hangs in the sky for not shining on this dark city, but once you light that fire, I will have some resentment, and I will only admit it to you."
"I resent the sun, why it didn't shine for me, why it didn't shine for Gotham, why it wasn't in my hands, why I didn't make it shine, it lit."
"Sun, you are more selfish than me, you shine on everyone, but you refuse to shine on everything I want you to shine on, why are you willing to fall and join those criminals and bring only deeper darkness to Gotham?"
Batman's tone is like singing a song or reciting a poem, he just bursts deeper darkness from the darkness, and from the madness to the deeper madness.
"Who instructed you?" Batman confronted the Suns: "Who told you to give sunlight to everyone but Gotham?" ”
"If fate chooses this way, then I can only resist." Batman spoke, "Because I've seen your cowardly side, that you're in the hands of humans in another world, and you're a coward who offers your energy, more than enough to feed the entire earth. ”
"But you won't even give me a little light that doesn't carry heat." Batman shook his head and said, "It's your selfishness that gives me an excuse to be greedy, you have to give me back what I didn't get, you have to give me back what Gotham didn't get, give it back to me immediately, immediately......"
"I don't want to talk to you about freedom, I just want to talk about desire, which is the power given to me by human nature, and my friend arrogantly admonishes me the truth, the sun, the sun, the sun, the sun, the sun......"
Batman kept chanting the name of the star, as if he was singing an aria, but also like crying with a crying voice when the aria was at its climax.
He had been absent from the star for so long that even a ray of light on him would have moved him to tears, but at the same time he was ashamed of this easily satisfying humility.
Batman will even be touched by the sunshine, he is neither arrogant nor greedy, and is as tame as a lamb.
It's always been that way, right?
"Answer me, Sun, if you are so selfish, why can't I be arrogant and greedy enough? …… May I? ”
In the midst of such doubtful questioning, a thick black mist dispersed, and Kuroshio retreated for Batman, opening a path for him to a cell that Batman had never been to before.
By the time his parents died, he was already baffled by the path.
Why can't he ask for more, he thought? Why can't parents be expected to be wise at the same time? Why can't there be one of the lucky geniuses in this world?
In this world, everyone thinks that fate is unfair, whether they are lucky enough or not, this is the greatest greed.
And today, Batman is back on this path, just to open the door of the trapped greed, so that those who are not qualified to question him can see how he can change the world.
There are people who don't want the world to change, and no doubt those angels don't want Batman to do that.
But if Batman wants to do this, no one can stop him - because he is Batman.
