Chapter 58: The World in the Ring
"Go and send this report to Mrs. Felton in the Academic Affairs Office later. Of course, matters related to the club will be organized after the final exam. I don't think students have so much free time to care about these things now."
Evans nodded with the documents in his hand and said, "Indeed, almost everyone has reviewed very hard. Even those who have skipped classes in the past have been going to the library frequently recently."
Schiller flipped through his desk, then handed him a stack of papers and said, "Although I told you that the whole book is the key points, I think at your current level, it is probably a pipe dream to want to memorize the whole book. This is the scope of the information for the thesis proposition. Let them hurry up and finish reading..."
As he was talking, Bruce knocked on the door, and Evans said, "Then I won't bother you, professor, I will arrange everything as soon as possible."
After Bruce came in, he found a chair and sat down very naturally. Schiller asked him while tidying up the textbooks on the table, "Have you finished reviewing?"
"Of course, that's not a lot." Bruce is still quite proud of his IQ and memory.
"You'd better make sure your paper passes, otherwise I'll call your butler...what's his name?"
"Uh, Alfred, professor, my butler's name is Alfred."
"Oh, yes, if you don't pass this exam, I'll call your butler Alfred."
Bruce was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, you'd better give me some more information..."
He had a subtle feeling that Schiller's very matter-of-fact attitude of "calling parents" made him feel like he was being treated like a little brat, and he felt a little indignant, but when he imagined this scene, Bruce thought that he should go back and read some more books.
"What are you going to do during the holiday?"
"I have a lot of things to do, you know, what are you going to do?"
"Yesterday the attending physician at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital called me. We are old classmates. He is a little too busy there, so he invited me to help. I plan to take two students there for internship."
"Oh? Who are you going to take?"
"I have already greeted Falcone. Evans will definitely go. His grades are quite good. He is now the first in the class. As for the other one, I haven't decided yet."
Just as Bruce was about to speak, Schiller said, "But it's definitely not you. Your grades are too bad."
Bruce curled his lips and said, "The things at the Eastern Docks haven't settled down recently. Without the Edward family, there is some chaos there. I have been very busy at night recently, and so has Gordon."
"I think you should be busy with more than just your heroic career at night. How is that heart-stealing female thief?"
Bruce said, "Of course I am busy with my other half's career recently. Selina's good friend Aya Maggie has been in bad health recently, and she did not come out. "" But ... "Bruce laughed and said," Our justice, Mr. Harvey, seems a bit moved. " The head of the La Dance Troupe? "Isn't she a fan of Batman?" "The old principal was once again sued in prison because Harvey helped Christine to testify again, and this time, because of Harvey's defense, the old principal had no excuses such as foreign medical treatment. He was sentenced to 137 years. Hanging river and exhibition of heroes, how can this not to gain the gratitude and admiration of a girl? "Schiller touched his eyebrows and said," Oh, our lawyer is really blessing. He was too experienced in this situation, because the current Green Lantern was exactly the same as the state of Spider-Man who had just gained superpowers.
Obviously, he had already obtained the Green Lantern ring from the alien.
Compared with Peter, Hal was more mature. After all, he was older and had a pilot's license. His psychological quality was much better than that of Spider-Man, a high school student. So even though he was very excited to chat with netizens, he did not reveal anything about aliens and magic rings.
Schiller chatted with him for a while, then clicked on his avatar and found that the Green Lantern's ability could indeed be copied.
Schiller clicked on the copy, but he didn't expect that it was delayed for a long time this time, and the system prompt sound did not come.
After a while, he suddenly found that the symbiote in his brain was emitting a slight buzzing sound.
He called the symbiote several times, but there was no response. After a while, the system sent a prompt:
"The world in the ring has been loaded."
When Schiller was confused, the symbiote suddenly sent a series of excited brain waves, and then Schiller felt something on his finger. He looked down and saw that it was a silver-gray and simple ring.
Schiller felt very strange. The system's ability to copy should not be able to copy things outside the body, and even if it copied Green Lantern's Green Lantern Ring, it should be green. Why did it turn gray?
Then, the symbiote gave Schiller the answer.
Green Lantern is a very special hero. Most of his abilities come from the Green Lantern Ring, including the shaping of green energy weapons, the force field of green lantern energy, teleportation and healing abilities, etc. These are the special abilities that the Green Lantern Ring brings him.
Therefore, the abilities of Green Lantern copied by the system must also have a carrier.
Schiller did not have a Green Lantern Ring, so the system turned the symbiote Gray Mist into a carrier of this ability.
"So the carrier is you, then what is the use of this ring?"
"It's useless, but it looks good." The symbiote said.
"Okay." Schiller said.
He took a look at his finger. The ring was actually very simple, just a silver-gray ring with a pattern of several wavy lines on it. It didn't look out of the ordinary. The only thing that was a little strange was that it was worn on the ring finger.
"So how do you use this ability?" Schiller asked the symbiote.
"Think about it in your mind."
Schiller closed his eyes and concentrated. Soon, he found a gray fog in his dark vision. The fog gradually expanded. After a moment of white light, his consciousness appeared on an island shrouded in gray fog.
The island was not big, and the end could be seen as far as the eye could see. Schiller controlled his vision and flew to the edge of the island, then looked down.
Below the island was a huge and boundless city.
The island and the city were still shrouded in layers of hazy gray fog. The city was so big that all the buildings in the haze took on strange shapes. From time to time, huge creatures whose specific shapes could not be seen would shuttle through the city.
This was an isolated island floating above a huge city.
Schiller began to recall the world in the Green Lantern ring. In the comics, the Green Lantern ring has an independent world inside. The Green Lantern once shrunk his enemies and locked them in this world. He himself was also trapped in the emerald dunes in the world in the Green Lantern ring.
Even the Green Lantern ring itself seems unable to fully control their world in the ring, just like Schiller now. His consciousness can only stay within the scope of this isolated island, and the huge city below, where no details can be seen, is completely out of his control.
But fortunately, this isolated island seems to have no connection with the city below, and those huge shadows that suddenly appeared in the fog did not find that there was something on their heads.
And Schiller was surprised to find that he seemed to have entered this world in the flesh, and here, he could communicate with the symbiote.
He cut off his consciousness and returned to reality. He looked up at the clock and saw that time was flowing.
In other words, it was equivalent to an independent shelter. In theory, if he encountered an irresistible danger, he could directly enter the gray fog world and wait for the crisis to pass.
Schiller thought that the huge city under the isolated island and the huge figures looming in the gray fog must be hiding huge secrets and were also very dangerous. It was not a good idea to stay there for too long. Unless you encounter a life-threatening danger, it is better to avoid this strange and bizarre world.
Later that night, Mrs. Felton from the Academic Affairs Office came over. She originally came to check with Schiller about the textbook fees for the next semester, but she was a very enthusiastic lady. She said to Schiller: "Our new president was just discharged from the hospital yesterday. Maybe he will be back in the office tomorrow."
She reminded Schiller quietly: "He looks a little anxious and may want to make a big move."
Just as Mrs. Felton said, Schiller received a call from President Shedon that night.
This time Shedon seemed to have learned his lesson. He did not aggressively ask Schiller to complete any tasks as he did at the beginning. Instead, he said a lot of empty words to ask him to work hard. Finally, he told Schiller that some professor positions at Gotham University might change recently. He invited some old friends he met in Princeton to introduce experts and professors to him to form a new team of professors at Gotham University.
He seemed to want to use this method to make Schiller nervous. After all, in a university, the resources of a professor depend on the importance the school attaches to their teaching subjects. Now Schiller is indeed a golden signboard of Gotham University. His resume is really strong. Some students from other places even apply to Gotham University specifically for this professor.
But if more world-class experts and scholars join this university, organize their own laboratories in the school, and lead students to study world-class topics, it is hard to say whether the school's resources will still be so inclined towards the subject of psychology.
Schiller originally had no opinion on this matter. After all, he also hoped that Gotham University could be better and add luster to his teaching resume.
Until he saw Victor Freese's name on the list of professors newly hired by President Seldon.
