Chapter 2926 When Night Falls (Forty-four)
Chapter 2926 When Night Falls (Forty-four)
"Go and find out what happened at that time." Schiller said to Constantine: "Go back to the past and see what happened when Barbara was born."
Constantine did not ask more questions. He went for a while and came back without bringing back any video materials. He just said: "It's almost the same as she said. A sneaky nurse took away a girl and brought another one. The Gordons did not find anything unusual."
Schiller was not surprised at all. The other party dared to play this trick and would not reveal flaws in such an obvious place.
"Can you go to an earlier time point to see where the little girl came from?" Schiller asked.
Constantine said: "The cause and effect relationship is reversed. You must give me the time and place so that I can go back to investigate. If there is only time, the landing point is random. Without clues, I can't find it out."
Schiller's fingers tapped the table lightly, and he began to sort out the relationship between them.
Among the real and fake Barbara, only one is Gordon's biological daughter. The real Barbara later said it was her. As expected, the paternity test results will also show that it was her.
The fake Barbara who was caught was indeed the real murderer who attacked three people including Dick.
So assuming that this was actually the result of the vampire traveling back to the past after running out of tricks, what was it originally like?
Combining the various actions of the Vampire King before, Schiller had a bold guess-I was reborn, reborn the night before choosing an identity. This time, I am no longer the Vampire King who was caught after his trick was exposed, but the Batgirl who is favored by the Bat Family...
Schiller is not just imagining things, he knows this kind of people too well. As I said, idiots always think that as long as they are given a chance to start over, they will definitely be able to turn the tide.
In essence, it is because they think that their failure must be due to external reasons. If people fail, they blame the uneven ground. If you change a piece of land for me, I will definitely be able to build a tall building from the ground.
Things may be like this.
In the original timeline, the Vampire King thought of a way to replace the original Barbara, sneak into the Bat Family to make trouble, and bite three people in a row, causing great trouble to Batman.
But unfortunately, she was caught by Batman and the Justice League in the end.
She felt very unwilling and thought that it was not her plan. She had to get up where she fell, so she made a plan that she thought was more thorough.
First, she traveled back to the past and took away Barbara as a baby, replacing her with a vampire baby.
That's right, Schiller guessed that the vampire baby returned to the Gordons should not be the vampire king, but a vampire baby that the vampire king found from somewhere.
Schiller didn't know whether she could embrace the baby for the first time, but it could also be the child of her subordinates.
Schiller also suspected that the real Barbara born by Mrs. Gordon was likely dead. If she was not dead, she was probably kept as a hostage by the vampire king.
When the vampire incident was about to end, Barbara would definitely be caught. At this time, the one caught was actually the insignificant vampire baby, and then the real vampire king would appear as the victim, the real Barbara, to complete the substitution.
Some people may ask, what's the point of going around in such a big circle? This series of plans seems to have no great effect on the vampire's cause, and it's very laborious, but this kind of people don't think like this.
Their thinking is, didn't you, Batman, catch me last time? Then I will let you catch the wrong person completely this time, and then transition to "It turns out that you, Batman, also catch the wrong person sometimes!"
It sounds really weird, but this kind of person is essentially unable to gain any sense of superiority by relying on his own abilities, and once he has the advantage of information asymmetry, he will not use this advantage to do anything serious, but will definitely use it to retaliate against those who make him unable to gain a sense of superiority.
This kind of retaliation has a higher priority than even all his careers. I just replaced the most important part of your plan with foresight, and then when you still follow the original plan and make a mistake, I can laugh at you for the rest of your life.
However, due to their low IQ and limited vision, they cannot understand what it means that things change with time, and they think that the person they expected will definitely follow the original plan.
For example, if she thought that Barbara would be arrested in the end, she would replace Barbara so that the other party would catch the wrong person.
But she didn't think about it. Batman is the best detective in the world, and he would not convict someone so easily.
Well, even if there is very conclusive video evidence, it can be proved that the video has not been edited or post-processed, so how can you prove that Barbara was not controlled?
Even if Barbara admitted it herself, how can you prove that she was not controlled to admit it?
If it were placed in the previous criminal investigation world, this would be considered unreasonable, but even vampires have vampires, so why can't there be puppet magic to control people to do bad things?
Moreover, Schiller felt that the other party's level of psychoanalysis was probably comparable to Bruce's. She never realized that Batman was actually a very emotional person.
After Constantine left, Schiller took a walk in the garden. Although he didn't look through the memory bank much, he had his own understanding of Batman.
In the stereotype of most people, Batman is an extremely cold-blooded and ruthless person. He can be said to be a law enforcement machine. No one can expect him to bend the law for personal gain.
But that’s not actually the case. The basis of everything Batman does is emotion. Don’t forget what he said – “I am the night, I am revenge, I am Batman.”
What is the basis of revenge?
Is it rational thinking?
Is it rigorous logic?
Is it because Bruce Wayne, a ruthless logic machine, ignores the fact that he could easily be the end of the earth and insists on being a vigilante in a city?
It's not unfair to use this word to describe Luthor. If anyone uses it to describe Batman, his level of psychoanalysis is probably about the same as Bruce's.
The basis for Batman punishing criminals is emotion, and the basis for him to adopt Robin, train them, unite the Bat Family, and lead the Justice League is also based on emotion.
As long as Batman can be a ruthless leadership machine and completely regard the Bat Family and the Justice League as his companies, neither organization will be able to be infiltrated by vampires.
Again, with Batman's leadership, he can lead these two organizations to what they are now, and even Aquaman can't let him go so much.
So Batman is actually more emotional than many people think, especially when it comes to people he cares about. This is a double standard to the extreme. Many things are no longer negotiable, but you can do whatever you like, in case of misfortune. If you mess up, I'll protect you.
Looking through the history of the Bat Family and the members of the Justice League, we can basically find moments like this. Is it true that Batman, who is so knowledgeable about things, really didn't predict them before they got into trouble? I'm afraid not. More often than not, he is completely aware of the consequences, and he just doesn't want to stop it.
Therefore, Schiller can predict what kind of storm will happen in Wayne Manor when Batman returns.
He tortured Dick like that, at least in the name of doing good for Dick, and the most terrible damage he caused was to pull out two of his teeth.
But the mastermind wanted Barbara dead.
Those two videos were like a noose around Barbara's neck. They were shown to so many people in public. Even if Barbara was rescued by Batman and sobered up, she might not be able to face herself. Mistakes committed.
Schiller seized the time and returned to the manor hall.
The Robins are sitting on the left row of sofas, Gordon Constantine and other witnesses are sitting on the right row of sofas, Batman sits in the middle, and the vampire Barbara sits opposite him.
"Have you dealt with Mary?" Schiller walked slowly to his seat and sat down. He put one leg on top of the other and said with his ankle touching his calf.
Batman shook his head silently.
All the Robins could see how angry Batman was now. One by one, they all had their heads drooped and didn't dare to express their anger.
Only Starfire, the real Barbara, was talking.
She was probably talking about how she discovered the whole conspiracy and escaped from the hands of vampires. She debuted under the codename Starfire and has been lurking around the Bat Family, silently protecting the members of the Bat Family.
But Batman's first words left her unable to answer.
"Are you a superpower?"
"What?"
"I said, are you an ordinary person or a person with super powers?"
"My parents are Mr. and Mrs. Gordon, so of course I am an ordinary person. I know you can't believe that I did all this as an ordinary person, but I..."
"Then why are Starfires from other universes superpowered?"
Schiller couldn't help laughing, so he had to cover his mouth with a cup. He actually didn't know who Starfire was, but he vaguely heard that he seemed to be a young superhero.
But the Batman in front of him has been to the fighting world. Although he was called back to maintain the universe by an email from the system, if he had spent more time in the past, it would not have been a problem to queue up two or three.
Normally Batman wouldn't do this. They would rather stay at the base and exchange information about each other's universes, and with Batman's character, the information they exchange would be quite comprehensive.
Although Starfire is not a particularly famous hero, Schiller thinks she may have something to do with Dick. Anyone related to Robin is on Batman's priority list, so Batman will exchange for Starfire from other universes. The information is not surprising either.
It can only be said that the King of Vampires is still the King of Vampires, but Batman is no longer the simple Batman he used to be. The time he spent waiting for two dungeons was enough for him to find out the household registrations of the otherworldly fellows of the group of people around him. .
Note that if the Vampire King replaced Starfire from the beginning, then in the perception of the locals in this universe, Starfire has never had superpowers and is just an ordinary superhero with strong physical skills.
If Batman hadn't opened his eyes to the universe through the fighting world, then he might not be able to find any fault. Who says ordinary people can't be superheroes?
But as far as Batman knows, the Starfires in all other universes are aliens with superpowers, and they don't look like this. The two can be said to be completely different.
Batman reveals to everyone the information he obtained about Starfire from other Batmans.
And precisely because Starfire is not very famous, she is not like a famous superhero who wants to be different in each universe. Instead, almost all universes are similar from appearance to racial abilities. At most, the details of her uniform are different.
Everyone looked at Xinghuo on the information, and then at the person standing in the hall, and had to admit that the two were completely different.
The Spark in the data is not exquisitely beautiful, but full of wildness, with anger always between her eyebrows, and her flowing red hair is like the flame of revenge. Even if you just look at the picture, you can see her burning and indomitable soul fire.
And the one standing in front of them, how to describe it, if Schiller were to describe it, he would use a rather impolite word, that is, to draw a tiger but end up drawing a dog.
