What followed next was a constant shift of stages in the theater. Alleys, offices, classrooms - scene after scene emerged and disappeared. The constant was Hugo, in every scene, getting soundly beaten by Batman then either shipped off to the police station or a psychiatric hospital.

As these images flickered, Shiller's voice resonated in the theater. He said, "If you ever see a psychologist, remember not to find a quack like this."

"Perhaps you know this doctor named Hugo Strange. His theoretical knowledge is not bad, and he even makes many small inventions. His execution is also not bad..."

"You could say, in terms of overall quality, he is better than me. After all, I can't build any hypnosis machines, nor can I physically hypnotize people. But there is one thing where I outshine him..."

"It is that I understand, if you want to be a doctor, the ultimate goal is to heal patients. If you want to be a teacher, the ultimate goal is teaching students."

"If a doctor does not want to heal their patients, but wishes to torture and control them, or if a teacher doesn't want to properly educate their students, but wants to bewitch and lead them astray, then their ultimate destiny is the mental hospital."

Accompanying the image of Batman, once again dragging Hugo Strange - now knocked out - off to Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, Shiller's voice turned somewhat cold, like Gotham's chilling night rain.

"If he always has some peculiar understanding of his profession, it means he cannot be a good doctor or a good teacher."

"If he doesn't want to be an ordinary person, then he can only become a patient."

Victor tilted his head slightly, turned his eyes, and looked at Shiller, asking, "Is this why you always say that you are an ordinary person?"

Before Shiller could answer, Joker Jack, sitting in the front row seat, suddenly stirred. He woke up, shook his head, stretched a big lazy waist, yawned, and muttered, "It was such a short date. His temper is terrible!"

After speaking, he turned his head backward and looked at Shiller, "Ordinary people and their ordinary friends, Batman should have noticed his changing memory by now. Maybe he is rushing to his subconscious."

Just as Jack finished his sentence, the next stage appeared with two Batmans. One was standing in an alley near the Gotham Cathedral, and the other landed on the cathedral tower.

As expected, Hugo stood opposite the Batman in the alley, while the Batman on the bell tower looked around until he saw the other him holding an empty salt jar.

He remembered that this should be when he was investigating the killer of his parents. After visiting the killer, he found out that the person in front of him had become a victim of Alzheimer's and lost all ability to resist, but was deeply afraid of the name Falcone.

Recalling these scenes, the raging thoughts in Batman's heart, he remembered a sentence Shiller once said to him, "Fear is the deepest and most difficult scar to remove at the heart of the human soul."

At the moment he thought of this, the heavy bell rang out and echoed in every corner of Gotham.

He remembered that when he heard this bell, he swore to spread fear throughout every corner of this city, making all criminals tremble, just like this omnipotent Gotham Night Bell.

Lost in thought, Batman was pulled back by Hugo's voice. He suddenly realized that the one standing in the place of Shiller in his memory wasn't Shiller but Hugo.

Then, he heard Hugo say, "... how could you not revenge against him? He killed your parents and has lost his ability to act. Isn't this the best opportunity?"

"If you let him go like this, how can it be considered revenge? You should be holding, not that broken jar, but a dagger or a gun. You should kill him... follow your inner choice... go back... kill your enemy…"

Batman on the bell tower extended a hand to cover his eyes, and sure enough, the other one in the alley was able to punch Hugo down directly.

The Batman on the bell tower took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He felt that if it were a dream, it would be a terrible nightmare. If the professor he encountered then was like this...

Batman couldn't help but imagine such a scene. Of course, he didn't think he would be led astray by Hugo. Or that Hugo's actions could hardly be called bewitching. Even if Hugo appeared in his life like Shiller, lingering there long term, Batman felt that he could definitely send this professor to a mental hospital within a semester.

If a professor like this was encountered at the beginning of his Batman career, what would happen?

He looked at the other him in his memory. That Batman repeatedly questioned Hugo in the same way, asking him if he committed a crime, asking him what crime he committed. If he didn't answer, Batman would break his legs and then send him to the police station or the psychiatric hospital.

Batman felt that this shouldn't be him. Why did he become so paranoid? Looking at this behavior from someone else's perspective, it indeed seemed like a lunatic who had lost all reason. Is this what he wanted?
