Chapter 1023: The World Becomes Vast in an Instant (Part 2)

Batman saw everything, but not everything, because he could not hear the voice of the original Schiller, and only saw the picture.

Batman had no time to find Schiller's trace through surveillance because Schiller was taken away by unknown persons. After all, the other party was likely a professional agent who knew how to avoid surveillance. Moreover, to chase the other party from the surveillance, someone must sit in front of the surveillance to report the position in real time, and the whole process will be delayed. Batman has a better way.

He can directly use crazy wine to enter Schiller's dream. Other Schillers in the thinking tower can directly tell Batman where Schiller's body is, which is much faster than chasing after the agent.

He came at the right time, just in time for Schiller to start playing the magic of keeping the picture on the medal. However, because the sound channel and the video are separated, only Schiller can hear the sound and see the picture at the same time, and Batman can only see the picture.

But this does not prevent Batman from guessing what is going on.

The calendar on the wall in the first scene has already written the time, which is Christmas of 1991, but the next scene appears in Berlin decades ago, and Schiller becomes a child again.

At this point, Batman thought the whole process was a flashback, and the scene of Schiller's suicide was a prophecy, and then he began to go back to talk about Schiller's life.

But later, he looked more and more wrong. According to the development of Schiller in childhood, he should not be a soldier, but an agent. The difference between the two is huge.

Moreover, Batman had seen many badges on the uniform of the soldier Schiller before. Many of these badges are real military medals. Batman knows them. These medals will not be awarded to people outside the military system.

So now, Batman has learned about Schiller's two sets of life through the picture. If you add what he saw in the memory space of DC Schiller before, there are already three sets.

The first set is that Schiller was a Soviet soldier who committed suicide in December 1991.

The second set is that Schiller was an agent trained by the KGB since childhood, and he was also a magician, and finally served as the director of the KGB's 11th Bureau.

The third set is that Schiller witnessed a massacre in an orphanage, became an experimental subject of a mysterious organization, successfully escaped, and finally entered the Ninth Management Center.

If there are only two sets of life stories, Batman can easily make up a complete story.

For example, if the second and third sets are combined, that is, Schiller once witnessed a massacre in an orphanage in East Germany, became an experimental subject, escaped, and then cured his illness in a management center in a certain country in the East and returned to the KGB.

If the first and second sets are combined, it can be said that the KGB entered the military system to perform certain tasks, and the mission failed, and Schiller could only choose to commit suicide.

However, no matter which of the first, second, and third sets of life stories are combined, there is always one set that is redundant and unreasonable.

Batman suspects that only one of these life stories is true, but he instinctively feels that they may all be true.

What's the matter with the extra set?

Among them, what Batman cares about most is that the soldier Schiller committed suicide in December 1991, and now it is December 2, 1991, and his professor is still here, and it doesn't look like he can enter the military system instantly.

At that time, Batman couldn't hear the sound of the disintegration of the Soviet Union coming from the radio. He thought it might be a prophecy, but he couldn't think of under what circumstances Schiller would choose to commit suicide.

Of course, Schiller committed suicide in a phone booth once before, in order to drag Batman and Constantine into hell together. However, when the soldier Schiller committed suicide, the atmosphere in the room made Batman feel a strong sense of tragedy. He felt that this could not be a plan. The despair of the hero's end made him feel deeply shocked.

At this moment, Batman thought of the order in which these videos were played.

Batman thought that he should keep things simple. The fact is that Schiller committed suicide first and then returned to his childhood.

Thinking of this, Batman suddenly realized, because he always felt that Schiller had a judgment of everyone around him that was beyond the facts, as if he had expected something long ago. Could it be that he was actually a reborn person?

Could it be that Schiller had met everyone he knew in this life, including him, Batman, in his previous life, so Schiller had so many judgments based on facts.

At the moment when the dream was broken and Schiller's consciousness returned, Batman saw the decoration of the hotel from Schiller's vision. He judged that this should be the Sokworth Hotel, so he hurried here.

Then, he saw the scene in the first scene of Schiller's memory. Schiller stood in front of the window, holding a pistol in his hand, with a heavy face, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Batman looked at the calendar on the wall. Today is December 2, 1991.

"Calm down, professor." Batman walked behind him, and Schiller, holding a pistol, turned to look at him and asked, "Did you see it all?"

Batman remained silent and did not deny it. In his mind, he recalled Schiller's expression and temperament in the first scene, which was somewhat different from the professor standing in front of him now, which reminded Batman of another person, that is, his butler Alfred.

At this time, Batman's mind moved, and he thought that the sad and tangled expressions that Alfred had shown behind his back were actually all because of one thing-the Soviet Union.

What happened in the Soviet Union recently?

Batman didn't know. Most of his knowledge of the Soviet Union came from the news. He didn't hear any big news about the Soviet Union recently. So why did Schiller get into trouble at this time?

Just as Batman was thinking, Schiller sighed and closed the curtains, not looking at the lush broccoli outside the window.

Schiller thought that Gotham, a place full of broccoli, was no longer a place to stay. It was just right that he could follow the people of the 11th Bureau back to Moscow to find out the current situation in the Soviet Union, and by the way, he could take a vacation and stay away from the annoying broccoli.

So, Schiller said, "I know you have a lot of questions, but I don't have time to answer them now. I'm going to Moscow and may not be back for a few months. I'll tell you your graduation message and recommendation letter when I come back."

Batman's face changed, and he took a step to the side, blocking Schiller's way out of the room, and asked, "Why are you going to Moscow?"

"What do you think I'm going there for?"

Schiller meant, don't you know who I am yet? The KGB will have to go back to report sooner or later, but in Batman's understanding of the scene just now, it means something else.

"Are you a reborn person?" Batman changed the subject.

Schiller, who thought of broccoli, nodded absent-mindedly. The original Schiller was indeed a reborn person.

After Batman got a positive answer, he felt as expected. At that time, Schiller told Batman that he was cursed by the bat, and Batman was thinking about a question.

Schiller spent so much energy and must cure him. Is it really just because he was cursed by Batman?

Batman didn't think that Schiller had no way to solve the curse, and looking back at his own Batman four years ago, he deeply felt that solving the curse and changing him might be easier.

But since Schiller chose a more difficult and longer path, there must be a reason. If Schiller was a reborn person, then what kind of person did he meet in his last life? What was the ending?

Batman knew that there would be no good answers to these two questions, because if it was a good ending, Schiller would not spend so much effort to treat him in this life.

Thinking of this reason, Batman's eyes fell on the pistol in Schiller's hand.

Batman looked at Schiller, then stretched out his hand. Schiller looked at his movements and was a little puzzled.

Seeing Schiller's eyes, Batman said calmly: "...I will not let the Soviet Union disintegrate."

Schiller raised his eyes instantly and stared at Batman, his eyes full of disbelief.

Then, Schiller took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, paused, and turned his head to the side, but still put the Makarov pistol in Batman's hand.

Before leaving, Batman glanced at the calendar on the wall, stood at the door, and said to Schiller: "Merry Christmas in advance, Professor."

Standing by the window, Schiller put his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, looked at Batman's back as he left, and shook his head.

At this time, Schiller remembered another question, so he called Petrov in and asked him: "How did you determine my location?"

Faced with this question, Petrov was stunned for a moment, and then said: "A special comrade contacted us and told us that you were taken away by a team of Russian-speaking agents, but no one in Gotham had an action order except us, so we naturally guessed that they might be undercover agents of the CIA."

"The Sokworth Hotel was originally the base of the KGB. In order to gain the trust of other agents, Andro would definitely bring you here, so we went straight to the door."

"Who contacted you?" Schiller asked.

Petrov walked directly to Schiller, picked up the phone, and said to the other side: "Hello, comrade, thank you for your information, we have successfully received the director."

The lines on Petrov's fingers gradually disappeared, and the skin of his hands stretched and became younger.

The young and fair hand put down the phone and looked in the direction of the sunlight in front of the window. The face behind the phone was Lex Luthor.

"You're welcome... comrade."
