Pamela's eyes widened, and she looked at the young man in front of her with the most shocked expression in her life. But Tim did not hesitate at all. He stared into Pamela's eyes and said, "I know you did it. You used vines to restrain the professor. For some special reason, he did not resist. In front of young ladies, he always tried his best to be a gentleman."
"You also said that it was a special reason!" Pamela almost screamed, "There is no way I can attack Schiller. It's impossible. And have you ever considered that he will take revenge on me later?!"
"Then you are just an accomplice."
Pamela took a deep breath, trying to fill her blank mind with thoughts and sort out the more useful rebuttals: "Do you think he and the blind man were just discussing something about the interns? Don't you think he was talking about us, too?"
"Of course I know he is referring to us, but don't you think what he said makes sense?" Tim's eyes were still bright. He sat down again and looked up at Pamela who stood up. The smile of the black-haired young man now could be described as dangerous and wanton.
"Have you ever felt what it's like to fall?"
"I don't, and I don't want to experience it!"
"Young people are always going to fall down, but don't you think it's stupid and boring to trip over a stone while walking on flat ground? Have you ever thought about jumping off the roof of the Wayne Enterprises Building?"
"I didn't!!!" Pamela grabbed her hair and paced around the room and said, "I'm not going to die just because I'm bored all day!"
"What if death is inevitable?"
"Then I won't be crazy and want to make the process more exciting!" Pamela said: "That's what you think, right? You will suffer a big loss sooner or later anyway, so you might as well provoke the most powerful one. This way, your death will be exciting enough."
"I'm not just chasing excitement. You think I'm too superficial." Tim twisted his fingers gently and said, "The key is that if you fall flat on the ground, you can't see anything. If you want to jump off a building, at least you have to climb the tallest building, which will allow you to overlook the entire city and get more information."
Pamela calmed down a little because she realized that Tim was not simply crazy. He had his own plan. Regardless of whether the plan was feasible or not, at least there was a set of logic that made sense.
"If we are capsized by a weaker person, who has defeated us more by luck and our own stupidity, what can we learn from observing his behavior?"
"The fact is that you can't learn anything. It's just a waste of time, adding unnecessary waste to your brain. There's no need to even review the game. You can only learn to stand there and wait for the other party to make a mistake. It's like falling down in vain. Even if it's just a scratch, the injury is meaningless."
"But if we pick a strong enough opponent, we may lose at the first step, but at least we try to make plans and implement them under great pressure, and try to avoid forced errors. These are all valuable experiences."
"If we are lucky enough and can hold on a little longer, maybe we can see a more exciting game and understand how he is so much stronger than us. Even if we win the lottery and events push us from chess pieces to chess players, we can still get a chance to play against him, then no matter how serious the injury is, it will be worth it."
Pamela sat down again, sitting cross-legged opposite Tim. She gathered her red hair back and said, "How can you guarantee that we won't fall to our deaths?"
"What are you afraid of? He can't really kill us." Tim bared his teeth and said, "Even if he really did it, we will exit the dungeon under the protection of the Doujie system, and everything will return to normal."
"What about settling the accounts afterwards?"
"Go find the professor." Tim smiled again and said, "I'm sure they don't get along, and the professor is very protective of his people."
"Why do you think the professor will protect us?"
"Because I finished my homework," Tim said. "Most of his students couldn't finish their homework and would find various excuses. I significantly raised the homework completion rate and grade level of his students. He won't watch me die."
"what about me?"
"You're Victor's doctor, so it's even more impossible for him to watch you die."
Pamela found herself speechless.
"You're not really going to let me use force against Schiller, are you?" Pamela had already begun discussing the possibilities. She said, "Even if he doesn't have superpowers, what if he asks his superhero friends for help? I can't beat them all!"
"What if we let everyone think that he wasn't really kidnapped?" Tim asked. "He wanted to use himself as bait to keep most of the FBI's manpower here. So how can the news that he was in danger not be a further ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"But if he has a way to get the message out, then he can definitely explain the situation to his superhero friends."
"Will they believe it if he explains it?"
Pamela thought Tim was making excuses. She crossed her arms and said, "They are his friends. They trust each other. They said it themselves. Why wouldn't they believe it?"
"Then you still don't know this kind of person very well." Tim said, "Suppose one day I suddenly called you and said that I was kidnapped by Professor Schiller, what would be your first reaction?"
Pamela was about to blurt out, "Of course I'm worried about you!", but the thought only flashed through her mind for a moment, and she knew that if the time really came, she would not think so.
She would find it absurd, and then start to wonder what Tim was up to, because it was obvious that Professor Schiller had no need to kidnap him, and Tim was not someone who could be kidnapped so easily. And since he had already been kidnapped, with Professor Schiller's meticulousness, how could he let him easily pass on the news?
She would have guessed that either Tim was behind it or the two of them were working together.
"So what if it was Dick who gave you the news?" Tim asked again.
Pamela opened her mouth. She didn't really want to say anything because she felt it would hurt their brotherly feelings, but the fact was that if it was Dick who spread the news, Pamela might really want to rescue him.
It’s not that she likes Dick more than Tim, but she trusts Dick more than Tim. Even if the person who passed the message was Jason, Professor Schiller’s favorite, she would not be sure that the two of them had teamed up to do something bad, and she would still find a way to investigate.
"That's the point," Tim said with a smile. "He used the identity of some unknown Hydra to lure FBI agents this time. In the past, he would use other identities to lure other people, probably including his friends."
"All the strengths he showed in the past made people feel that he would not fall into a trap easily. All his difficulties were caused by himself. So when he asked for help, the more people knew him, the more they thought he was playing tricks."
"The story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'?" Pamela asked, frowning.
"Almost. I would make a bold guess. He has led his Earth to the point where it is now. He must have used every possible means. He was cruel to others and even crueler to himself. He must have used himself as bait more than once or twice. Even if those superheroes are saints, they should use their brains."
"One last question." Pamela sighed and said, "What if there is a Superman?"
Tim shook his head and said, "Not quite. If Batman tells Superman that he's in danger, Superman will definitely believe him and try to save him. That's because Superman still regards Batman as an ordinary person. At least most of the time, he understands better than others that Batman is not a god."
"It's essentially because Superman is a true god. He stands too high and is a little too powerful, able to look down on all living things in this world. So he fully understands that even if Batman has a perfect plan, there will inevitably be omissions. It is his duty to save him."
"But don't you think that the Schiller of this universe is more like a god? He controls everything and looks down on everything. Everyone looks up to him, and no one is as firm as Superman in believing that he is just a mortal with vulnerabilities."
"Once everyone is looking up to him, they will inevitably have this doubt - I am not as smart as him, and I am not as good as him in grasping the overall situation. So if this is part of his plan, will it have a negative impact on the plan if I rush to save him?"
"This is a kind of speculation that only belongs to the weak. In essence, it is a manifestation of hesitation after comparing oneself with the other party. Superman will not be shaken by comparing himself with anyone, not even Batman. Or it is precisely because there is no rational thinking in his emotion of pity for the weak that he can ignore everything and insist on saving them."
"You mean the more rationally Schiller's friends think, the less likely they are to come to the rescue."
"Yes, in my opinion, the Schiller in this universe does not have a friend like Superman, or maybe he once did, but under his influence, he finally began to think rationally."
Pamela showed a complicated look and couldn't help but ask, "Do you think this is a good thing?"
"This is a sign of health." Tim was also very objective. He said, "This is what psychologists like. It's a sign of mental health, psychological balance, and normal brain function."
"Doesn't he care if his friends are fully devoted to him?"
“Total devotion itself is an unhealthy psychological state. It is a disease for human beings to give all their attention to anything and leave nothing for themselves.”
Pamela was silent.
"He used his great power to shape all of this and made the impossible possible. It is a reflection of his amazing professionalism. Why should we feel sorry for him?" Tim said.
"Well, what do you think I'm going to do? Just rush out and tie him up?" Pamela asked.
"That's not necessary. Kidnapping doesn't have to target a specific person. Can you seal off the entire mountain?"
Pamela covered her forehead and said, "Why don't you just ask me to seal off the Rocky Mountains? The energy I brought is limited, and it's good enough if I can just surround this mountain."
"Then let's do it."
Pamela thought about what Tim had said before, and then said, "This is no different than the FBI besieging this place. They can't get in anyway."
"This is different. If the FBI fights Hydra, they still have some hope. But if you ask them to fight a pine tree that can swing its fists, they will definitely run back and call for backup."
"You mean, if I take action to close off the mountain, the FBI will feel that there is little hope of winning and that they can't make any progress here, so they won't send many people here. Then Los Angeles won't be in chaos, and Schiller's plan won't succeed?"
"And the most important point is that if they are sure that it is a supernatural force, they will probably immediately seek cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Then S.H.I.E.L.D. can take advantage of this opportunity to eat up some of the funds? Schiller's plan was successful."
"This is different. Hydra played no role in this. How can Schiller get his share?"
Pamela understood, and she took action.
