Chapter 179: The Wisdom of Bats, Win in the Future
According to Chen Ang's plan, the seven people in the Evil League faced the seven people in the Justice League respectively, and Fu Manchu was responsible for dealing with Batman. He should have been the easiest one, because Batman was just a mortal - the most powerful mortal is still a mortal. The power of Batman lies in his tactical mind.
So when he gets enough intelligence, he can defeat heroes and villains who are thousands of times stronger than him.
But this is completely invalid when facing the prophet, because the prophet's intelligence advantage has reached a level of crushing power. He will never know what the prophet doesn't want Bruce Wayne to know.
This is why Batman in Gotham still knew nothing when the mysterious world of magic had already known about the committee.
In the face of unfamiliar intelligence, facing an opponent crushed by power, and without sufficient preparation on the battlefield that is extremely unfavorable to him, Chen Ang can easily pick someone out to defeat Batman. Why do you still have to arrange it seriously? That's because Chen Ang wants him to defeat the brain of the Justice League - Batman, not the mortal Bruce Wayne of Gotham City.
At least that's what Fu Manchu himself thinks.
As a cruel villain and the most evil oriental, Fu Manchu also has his own pride. His pride does not allow himself to complete a job like a puppet like this. He wants to defeat him at the strongest place of Batman, and he wants to show off a real Batman, rather than ending his life like a slaughtering machine.
Fu Manchu listened to Batman telling the information he found from the minority report, and at the same time compared it with the information he knew, he slowly understood Chen Ang's idea. This was Chen Ang demonstrating to himself the expectation of defeating Batman - not simply killing a mortal, but misleading the mind of the Justice League and allowing him to make a judgment that prompted the Justice League to defeat and Chen Ang's plan to succeed.
Just as the Joker is obsessed with defeating the spirit of the Dark Knight, forcing Batman to put down his persistence and principles, and agree with the Joker's thoughts.
Chen Ang also personally demonstrated, using intelligence misleading to control Batman's ideas. He even appeared in person as a big villain, using seemingly reasonable reasoning to cover up his real crazy ideas. So no one in the evil league knows Chen Ang's real plan.
Batman is talking so much now, but it is actually just to get information.
Batman didn't even believe him, and expected him to sneak into a seemingly guarded place through the arrangement of the Third Prophet and gain some sensational intelligence. He believed it very much. This was too underestimated by him. The Third Prophet may mislead him, and obtaining intelligence may be misleading intelligence. To verify these, the first thing to do is to expand the information interaction.
Even if it’s awkward, I have to say so much in front of Fu Manzhou, and then observe Fu Manzhou’s reaction.
"I thought I said so much, you'd give me a reaction." Batman said suddenly, "But you're standing there, as if everything has nothing to do with you."
Fu Manchu smiled. Batman had already begun his temptation. It seemed that this torture master was not only proficient in the narrow and dark secret room, using whips, wax, pain and fear to make the suspect speak out information, but also proficient in the lights and wine, people in suits and ties came and went, using exquisite language and superb acting skills to obtain information.
Fu Manzhou said calmly: "It is not a good thing to know too much, these things have nothing to do with me."
"If it has nothing to do with you, you shouldn't listen to me." Batman said calmly.
"This is a struggle between the prophets..." Fu Manchu pretended that he was just a minion, with some gray hair scattered behind him, slightly longer than Stark, but had a subtle and identical beard that was neatly repaired. He knew that Batman was good at psychology, and maybe he was doing a close-up for himself now.
"You can come here, which means you have received the support of a prophet. And the adult behind me... will only be stronger than her. So you will not take anything away today, and you will be buried here with all the secrets. The prophets can sense all the traces that have appeared in the world. As you said, if this world is really a virtual world created and maintained by the prophets, then they can see all the data of this world."
"The Ultimate Archive was originally a black box created by a prophet, but the third prophet turned you into her virus, allowing you to perceive everything in the black box, being perceived by you means being perceived by her, so you don't have to say this on purpose... When you see the minority report, it's no longer a secret to the prophet!"
Fu Manzhou is meaningful: "You are already abandoned one by one! The Trojan virus that enters the black box sandbox is no longer valuable to the authorized person!"
"The Third Prophet has obtained the information, so you came to stop me not to stop the truth from leaking." Batman's voice was hoarse: "No... you came to stop the information from leaking, because the Third Prophet has some tacit understanding with you, and what she knows does not mean we can know."
"What you really want to stop is that the intelligence leaked into the hands of the Justice League."
Batman had to eliminate the interference of his subjective ideas, and at the same time he had to infer facts from limited intelligence. At least he already knew that the third prophet could obtain the information he knew, so it was not very meaningful to prevent the leak of intelligence. The second prophet still sent someone to intercept him. This was not to kill someone to vent his anger, but to act with a purpose.
Batman understood a series of intelligence. Although he was still in the fog of intelligence war, he at least guessed the enemy's next layout, and they wanted to ensure that this intelligence was still in a controllable range known to only the prophet. Although Batman didn't know what tacit understanding or agreement between the second prophet and the third prophet had.
But it is obvious that the Third Prophet's position is not against the Second Prophet, nor is it standing with the Justice League, whose only position is herself.
From this perspective, the Third Prophet wanted to use the Justice League, but he was not sure whether this use was good intention or malicious.
"But at this time..." Batman made the correct judgment. In the enemy's base camp, facing a second prophet who sent him to kill him, he absolutely had no chance to bring back the intelligence alive. In terms of intelligence... only the prophet can fight against the prophets, and only the authorized ones can fight against the authorized ones.
Although he left many clues before setting off, these can only reveal some of the intelligence revealed by the Second Prophet before this trip, including the headquarters of the World Security Commission and some secrets of the committee.
The important information that was truly obtained has been intercepted.
Batman thought a lot at this moment, including the information about the prophets that is known to be unable to distinguish between true and false. He found that even if he ignores the terrifying idea that the world is a virtual world created by the prophet, just known information, he would never be able to mislead and defeat the prophets in the intelligence process. During the transmission of intelligence, the prophets who predicted everything had a million ways to play with it.
"The only one who can fight against the prophets is the prophet."
This old saying flashed through Batman's mind, and now there may be only one channel for information transmission - the Third Prophet.
To use the Third Prophet, Batman's eyes narrowed into a thin slit, he had to establish a channel for communication with the Third Prophet. The Third Prophet's weakness lies in her personal qualities. As long as he can communicate with the Third Prophet, Batman has the confidence to in turn affect the Third Prophet. His only weapon now is his mind.
The third prophet can know everything and cover all intelligence, but her personal qualities are not enough to fully utilize this intelligence.
Doesn’t the Third Prophet need a tactical master like Batman?
"She must have thought of this..." Batman stood from the perspective of the Third Prophet and thought about it, and found that his value to the Third Prophet was actually very important. As the known first tactical master, once Batman cooperated with the Third Prophet with infinite intelligence capabilities, it was a completely unsolvable combination.
Why didn't the Third Prophet think of this?
In other words, she had already thought about it, and even thought more deeply, and thought about the fatal shortcomings of it. It was impossible for the two to reach mutual trust.
Batman does not trust anyone and cannot stand completely on the standpoint of others. Batman cannot agree with the position of the Third Prophet, so the Third Prophet needs to be careful to be used by Batman when using Batman's tactical abilities.
The Third Prophet could not trust Batman at all.
This state of mutual distrust makes Batman useless to her, and it’s a pity to eat. That’s why she let Batman get information from minority reports as an abandoned child.
The key to breaking the deadlock that Batman had already thought of was that he had to create an environment where the third prophet could trust him, and then use the third prophet. This environment was very difficult to create because it was too late to create trust. Next to the second prophet, Batman could not walk out of here alive, even the second prophet had no choice.
But who says that people cannot control, serve, and affect others when they die?
Batman thought it through clearly that the only Batman that the Third Prophet could trust was Batman in her prophecy, and Batman in the future she saw.
Batman has a bold idea - the Prophet can see all the future.
So can she see the present and the future, then her current thoughts and existence are also in the future she sees, and is the timeline she is in really real? Does she exist in the uncertain future she sees, or does what she says now change the ‘now’?
Because the ‘present’ is the ‘future’ for the third prophet of the past.
Batman decided to give it a try, so he began to tell a concept - the idea of Batman in the time trap. In the future seen by the Third Prophet, there is a Batman on the timeline who decides to be loyal to the Third Prophet. Of course, the Third Prophet will not easily believe it, but this Batman poses no threat to the Third Prophet.
Because this is just a ‘future’, a third prophet preview, Batman is loyal to her future.
This future will always exist in the future, because the Third Prophet does not have to let it happen in reality, then the Third Prophet can have a Batman tactic master who only exists in an uncertain future, serving her, and she can get the service of Batman without worrying about his tricks, because this Batman only exists in her preview.
This is a ‘Batman’ who only exists for her.
Safe...harmless!
And this - Batman in the Time Trap, the way to hire is very simple. The Third Prophet just tells him about Batman's own plan in the future she previewed. Then Batman in the preview will understand his plan and will actively cooperate to create a time trap.
All Batman's conspiracy in the preview will be discovered by the prophet, and the third prophet can trust him relatively.
Perfectly solved all obstacles.
After Batman finished talking about this idea, he died calmly at Fu Manchu's hands.
But in reality, the Third Prophet suddenly opened his eyes... For the Prophet, the timeline was blurry, and its existence was beyond anyone's imagination. Now the timeline returned to the timeline before the Third Prophet pit Batman to go to the Ultimate Archive to view the minority report. At this time, the most critical secret recorded by the minority report collapsed and became an unknown.
As for what this secret is, of course it is not what was written in the previous chapter. Those things that were not inauspicious to the prophets, but were not written at all. Because the previous chapter was the future in the rehearsal, the secret was still a black box or a secret. It was impossible to observe in the rehearsal.
And the future in this preview will never be realized again.
Because Batman's words before his death, he successfully moved the Third Prophet. He successfully broke the deadlock. Although he died in the preview, he survived in reality. The Third Prophet will no longer plot against Batman's death. She will let Batman live, and then tell Batman the trick of Batman in the time trap in the preview, tell him his plan, win the trust of Batman, and create a Batman trapped in the time trap, and give special advice for himself.
If Batman dies in reality, then the Third Prophet will not be able to preview Batman's still alive future, and the exclusive think tank will no longer exist.
Batman used his own value to crack the dead end.
At the same time, after asking about his doubts, Fu Manchu, who had sneaked back, buried his head deeply, but heard Chen Ang suddenly laughing. Chen Ang said to him: "You lost the first showdown with Batman!"
"You can never kill him again... because the Third Prophet does not allow it. Batman's tactical ability plus the Third Prophet's intelligence. You will never have a chance again!"
"You still disappointed me!" Chen Ang sighed: "If you still don't understand why you lost..."
"Go down!" Chen Ang said to him: "I lost in the future... so pitiful."
Fu Manchu walked out of the temple with a confused look on his face. He came in confidently, and was suddenly sentenced to lose. Then he went out in a confused look on his face. Looking at the moon sky, Fu Manchu was full of confusion - "Have I done anything?"
"Where am I losing?"
"How can I lose...how can I win back?"
Even if the information is misled, even if most of the things you know are fake, even if you have no chance of winning after fighting, even if you have no life to fight, even if you face Chen Ang's malice, Batman still uses a small part of the correct information he already knows to crack the dead end and win in the future.
The Evil League vs. Justice League takes place in the first battle in the future, and the Justice League's brain completely crushes the Evil League.
But Chen Ang was not disappointed, but laughed happily.
