Pixel Maniac in the Comic World

Chapter 72 A little personality shock
  The miniature camera and recording device on Dick's shoulder faithfully transmitted everything that just happened back to the central computer in the Batcave.

Bruce was wearing the Bat suit, but not the Bat helmet, showing his true appearance, staring at the big screen solemnly, holding the coffee brought by Ah Fu in his hand.

And right next to him, there was a red-haired girl who was also wearing a bat suit, but it was easy to tell from the curve that it was a female suit, and she was typing on the keyboard.

“Building a Personality Profile.”

"Name: Terry Pickles."

"A person with dual personalities. The two personalities know each other's existence. The first personality is Black."

"Terry Black is initially judged to have a mental disorder caused by childhood trauma. He has a set of values ​​and ways of thinking that are different from ordinary people. He has an unforgettable hatred towards the orphanage incident, and this hatred is likely to support all his actions. The root of…”

As Barbara tapped, her fingers stiffened unconsciously.

As Dick's girlfriend and Batwoman (self-proclaimed), Barbara joined the Bat Action Team that observed and analyzed Terry Pickles without hesitation.

And as Dick finally came into contact with all the information about Terry Pickles, and through reasoning and intuition, he judged several targets that the other party might take revenge on next, Barbara finally got to know the person whose appearance he had only seen on surveillance before. Terry's understanding deepened.

As a crazy bastard, how could Barbara not have read Batman's self-personality analysis file back then!

But after going through a series of things, Batman recognized her without saying a word, so the matter ended in nothing.

Then he looked at Barbara again and frowned: "Why don't you continue?"

After all, he is just a plot character. Who would have thought that Terry is a person who has read many online media through movies, TV series, comics, and forum posts, which is equivalent to someone who has also read Batman's personality analysis file.

Because most of the source of his pain should be Batman himself.

Childhood trauma, living for hatred, hatred being the fundamental source of power for all action.

Terry didn't care. He even guessed that Dick had a headset in his ear giving instructions to Dick.

"Find a way to ask about Bai's situation, or find out what the more important things he said are, and see how much he is willing to say."

Barbara stayed like this for a while, until she secretly glanced at Bruce and found that the latter seemed to be staring at the screen intently.

But no matter how deep it is, it is not as shocking as the preliminary personality profile calculated and analyzed based on the data sent back simultaneously during Dick's contact and guidance with the other party.

The more this happens, the more Batman will be confused about how to deal with him.

Barbara originally had no authority, but when she first debuted as Batwoman, she relied on her superb hacking skills to browse many confidential files in Batman's computer.

"I'm a little thirsty."

Except for the name and the name of the event, the rest of Terry's draft personality profile could almost be copied and pasted directly from Batman's original personality profile.

Analyze him?
  What he just said was ninety-nine percent true and one falsehood, so that his experience and personality, which originally looked a bit like Batman, would turn into a ninety-nine percent similarity.

Dick raised the corners of his lips and sneered.

Back then, he had a lot of conflicts with his idol Batman because of this matter.

In fact, it seems that I am in a daze?
  However, this state did not last long. Bruce came to his senses after a few seconds and contacted Dick through the sound transmission device in a calm tone.

"It's unimaginable that you can have more important things. I thought your mind was filled with bloody things right now."

Yes, Batman has also created his own personality analysis file, and often goes in to optimize and update it, but only a few people have permission to see it.

……

Batman will never lose, but if the answers to all questions point to situations that Batman is unwilling to face, his firm, complex, and twisted personality will fall into a thinking loop that is relatively difficult to escape from. .

This explanation cannot be fully analyzed by words alone. It is probably similar to: I have a deep understanding of myself and insight into myself. I firmly believe that I have found the solutions to all problems, but why did I push 'I' into the abyss of error? .

"Bai invited me to attend his adult ceremony. I want to prepare a great gift for Bai. I don't want to say it's the best, but at least it's better than everyone present."

Terry answered Dick's question truthfully.

For about a few tenths of a second, including the two people in the Batcave and Dick, their thinking and logic fell into a momentary downtime.

This answered two things they wanted to know at once, White's situation, and what Black would prioritize over revenge.

But, how does one personality invite another personality to participate in his coming-of-age ceremony? How does the other personality give gifts to that personality?

Give it to yourself?

and also.

What kind of horse riding is better than everyone present?
  What is going on in Terry's mind?
  Is there anyone besides black and white? Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple?

Dick suddenly felt slightly regretful about his promise to solve Terry's problem.

He felt like he couldn't solve it.

"How old are you...? 22?"

"Almost, I'm almost 23."

"Bai is five or six years younger than you?"

"Didn't Batman teach you addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?"

Dick's face turned pale and he raised his hand to wipe his face.

"So you probably met Bai when you were five or six years old..."

"We just met last week."

Dick looked like he had eaten some hot bat poop that Batman had just taken.

Hooooly moooly! ! !

This is out of character for Terry Pickles! How could he care so much about the personality of someone he only met last week?
  Dick closed his eyes, recalled Barbara's figure, and used diversion to calm his frantically beating trigeminal nerve.

Then he opted to hit a straight shot.

"You care about that Bai?"

"It's like he cares about me. You should have read the information. The red lantern ring was recruited in vain. At that time, he thought that I might have been poisoned by someone, so he went crazy to kill me and wanted to avenge me."

Black shrugged, his face showing that tender expression that Dick couldn't understand.

"Actually, I was held back by a guy who claimed to be the main personality. Although Morgan helped solve the main personality, the remaining part was always a bit dishonest."

Dick and Barbara's expressions were already a little broken, especially Barbara, who mechanically typed the information, deleted the previous dual personality mark, and marked the multiple personality record.

Subject personality, Morgan, black, white...

How many more are there?

"It sounds like it was a tough time."

Dick had given up on the originally intended method of communication and started playing straight.

"Subject personality? Who is Morgan? You shouldn't have had access to anything while you were in Arkham..."

"I don't quite understand, but the main personality is dead, so there is no need to discuss a dead guy. As for Morgan, she seems to regard Bai as a couple, but Bai only regards Morgan as the psychiatrist hired by his uncle."

"Bai's uncle??!!"

"Yes, a very nice person."

In the Batcave, Barbara turned her head and looked at Bruce, with a confused look on her face as she didn't know whether to record it anymore.

Bruce held it in for a long time and finally choked out a sentence.

"It seems that they are all telling the truth."

"Record it."
