Chapter 2394 Bats Fight (IV)

Batwoman held the Water God's Spear and the trapped poisonous plants, and the group headed for the big tree in the center.

"You want to know the secret of each personality. Do you think the way to crack this situation is hidden in it?" Charles asked.

"This is a very reasonable inference." Batman replied: "It is a simple and plain reasoning that an ordinary person, a person without psychic ability, would make."

"What's so simple about it?" Charles muttered in a low voice.

"Everything in this world has its reasons. Even if they do not follow the physical rules of the real world, they must follow the law of cause and effect." Batman said: "There is a cause before there is a result. This is the most essential rule in the universe."

"Many things have already happened before they happened. You regard these personalities as the cause of a disaster, but in fact they are the result of many earlier disasters."

"If you treat them as causes and nip them in the bud in order to prevent disasters from happening, then the real cause that ultimately created these personalities will continue to create them endlessly, without end."

Charles frowned deeply. Batman hit the nail on the head. The most troublesome situation facing the Psychic Assault Team now is that it is very difficult to kill these terrible super-powered personalities, but according to David himself, these super-powered people are still being produced in his heart.

No one knows where they come from or where they are going. No one knows how to completely eliminate them, and no one knows how to stop David from producing these personalities that may bring disasters.

But Batman provided a sobering perspective. What they had to solve was not these personalities, but the deeper things that led to these personalities.

After the poisonous cloud was dispelled, it became easier to move forward. After arriving under the big tree, they found a small tree house on the tree, with a row of spiral stairs close to the trunk, like the facilities that would appear in a Boy Scout summer camp.

As soon as Batman walked up the stairs, he stopped and said, "It looks like this is related to his childhood. This thing is not designed for adults."

Batwoman also walked up and stepped on it and nodded. Her reasoning was the same as Batman's. There was no profound reason, but the stairs were not only narrow, but also very dense, with almost no gaps.

For adults, if one foot stepped on it, half of the sole of the foot would be exposed, and the front step was very close. The heel of the upper foot would touch the leg behind. If they stepped up step by step, it would be very awkward.

But for younger children, this is both easy to walk and very safe.

After going up two steps, there are wooden bars nailed to the trees as handrails at a height of about one meter. Every detail shows that this place is actually an amusement facility, not a real tree house for survival.

They walked to the top, two small houses facing each other and a platform in the middle. Batman bent down slightly and observed the traces here before standing on the platform where the room was.

Batwoman was also observing, and Charles was observing the two of them, because he really didn't know what they observed.

This place is too ordinary. The platform is a board fixed with nails and wires. The walls of the house are made of tree trunks, weeds and mud. It seems that every time a group of children come, this place will be rebuilt, as if it is one of the activities of the summer camp.

"There are footprints." Batman pointed to the marks on the floor and said, "There are probably three children and an adult standing here. A fatter child is standing at the stairs, two thinner and smaller children are standing in front of the room door, and the adult is standing on the edge of the platform."

"What happened..." Batwoman said in a positive tone, "Something must have happened here."

"So what do you think happened at that time? Ms. Mark Taggart." Schiller tapped the end of the pen lightly on the table and looked at a lady sitting opposite.

The lady had brown hair, neatly tied behind her head, wearing a white coat, and looked like she had just left her job.

"I don't know, David never told me." The lady called Mark Taggart looked a little tired. She said, "When this happened, he was still living with his parents. I spent a lot of effort to find out the general process of the incident, but I don't know the specifics, and he didn't tell me."

"Then tell me what David told you, ma'am." Schiller said.

"Just call me Mora."

"When Ms. Harrell, the mother of a large group, sent him to Muir Island, he seemed very taciturn. We all thought he might have childhood anxiety disorder." Mora said.

"Although I was studying his mutant abilities during that time, I did not forget to maintain his mental health. I think it is very inhumane to let him stay in the ward every day, so I applied to take him to the yard to get some fresh air at noon."

"There is a big sycamore tree in the yard, which comes from France. I used to like to go under that tree to enjoy the cool, so I took David there too, but he didn't want to touch the tree, even if the weather was so hot that he was sweating all over, he didn't want to stand in the shade."

"So I started to ask what was going on, and he just kept shaking his head. After my persistent questioning and investigation, I found out that when he was 7 years old, his mother and stepfather sent him to the summer camp. There was an accident."

"No one knows exactly what happened. In short, one of the projects in the summer camp is to lead the Boy Scouts to engage in jungle warfare, learn about plants, learn to make fires, and build tree houses."

"Although it is a jungle battle, it is actually just taking the children to play in a small forest, letting them know several common poisonous plants, and teaching them how to use flint to make fire. Everything went smoothly and the children had fun. Very happy too.”

"But something happened at the last step. The only instructor who was building the treehouse that day somehow fell off the platform of the treehouse."

"How high is it approximately?" Schiller asked.

"David said it was almost two meters." Maura frowned slightly and said, "But the instructor fell very seriously. I heard that there was a problem with the lumbar nerve and he will be bedridden for the rest of his life."

Schiller also frowned.

Standing on the edge of the platform, Batman looked down. Unsurprisingly, he saw traces of human figures on the wet soil below.

"Did someone fall?" Charles asked.

Batman turned around and nodded, saying, "Yes, the adult fell and fell to the ground here."

Charles walked over, took a look at the edge, and found that this place was actually not particularly high. He didn't dare to jump down, but if he did fall, it wouldn't be a big deal.

Batwoman suddenly shook her head and said, "She didn't fall because she lost her footing. She was pushed down."

The two Batmans stood in two positions respectively. Suddenly, Batman reached out to grab Batwoman. Batwoman shrank up and hid in the room behind her as if she was afraid.

Batman rushed forward and came to the door to catch Batwoman. Charles read some of Batman's emotions, so he immediately rushed over from the edge of the platform, grabbed Batman's cape and pulled him out.

The two of them pulled and pulled all the way to the edge of the platform. Batman used his strength to push Charles to the ground. But at this time, Charles kicked and turned over hard, and Batman stumbled and fell off the platform.

It fell completely on the trace of the human figure, exactly.

"This is unscientific." Charles said: "If the children here are only six or seven years old as you said, and the instructors leading the Boy Scouts are retired soldiers, then how could a six or seven-year-old child throw the retired soldiers? ?”

Batman had climbed back up and said, "Can't you do it?"

Charles was slightly startled.

"Are you saying that this was actually David's experience, that he used his mutant powers to push the instructor off the platform?"

Batman nodded and said, "And he probably used a special ability to seriously injure the instructor, because if it falls normally, the soil underneath is very soft, and most adults will be fine if they fall. ”

"But from the traces of soil underneath, it can be seen that the other party was completely unable to move and was lying here until the ambulance arrived."

Batwoman seemed to realize something. She turned to look at the poisonous plant trapped next to her and said, "I have heard that the split personalities of many patients with dissociative identity disorder exist to protect the main personality."

"If a 7-year-old child wants to make an adult unable to move instantly, the best way besides controlling brain waves like you is to start with the nerves. Even we use the same method." Batman said: "The nerves are The Achilles' heel of human athleticism."

"So this personality was born at this time." Charles looked at the poisonous plants in the bubble and said, "The thing is, David attended a summer camp when he was 7 years old. Unfortunately, they met A terrible instructor.”

"Judging from the actions just simulated, this instructor may want to harm or sexually assault another child. This is indeed a very good environment for committing crimes. If it is in a remote enough community, no one will notice what happened here. What, the children didn’t dare to say anything.”

"But David is not an ordinary child. He tried to stop the instructor. After being held down by the instructor, his self-protection mechanism was activated. A superpower who specifically targeted human nerves was born, subdued the instructor, and protected David. ”

"I think he will show up in the form of a plant, maybe because this place is supposed to protect them." Batwoman speculated: "Maybe the instructor told them to use local materials to build a shelter with plants in the dangerous jungle. It will be the best way for them to spend the long night."

"It is possible." Batman affirmed: "Children's thinking is very abstract and focuses more on association than logic. They may not understand the necessity of building a shelter, but they will definitely realize it through such actions , trees and plants are their protectors.”

"When someone wants to harm them here, their first reaction may not be like calling the police or trying to find an adult for help, but they may think that a plant god will come to save them."

"This is why child psychology is classified as a separate subject, because their brains are not fully developed, they receive insufficient education, and they lack common sense and rational thinking, so their way of thinking is completely different from adults."

Charles immediately drew inferences and said: "So in David's spiritual world, the less human, the more weird, funny and absurd, the more likely it is that it comes from his childhood."

Batman nodded and said: "Speaking of the Joker, maybe I hit the nail on the head at that time. This plant personality that looks like a tree man would dress up as a clown, not because he had seen clowns in the circus or movies."

"It's just because David first learned to play poker in the Boy Scout camp, and the person who taught him told him that the big trump card is the strongest of all poker cards."
