Chapter 767: The Consequences of Cheating on the Paper (Part 2)
In order to allow Bruce to write his thesis well, Schiller came to Wayne Building with an umbrella that night.
However, he did not intend to beat up a villain like Superman, because it would make too much noise and be very laborious.
He had some guesses about the identity of the villain. After all, the previous scenes had provided a lot of clues. Schiller knew that this opponent tonight was not suitable for brute force. Therefore, he did not call Moonlight Schiller out, but planned to do it himself.
After leaving the school, he turned into a ball of gray mist, like a gust of wind passing through the streets, without causing any waves.
At this time, there was no one in Wayne Building, and the lights in the windows went out one after another, until finally, the building that should have been the most brilliantly lit in Gotham was completely dark and merged into the rainy night.
As the breeze passed through the streets and alleys, it came to the door of Wayne Building. A notice was blown up by the wind, which clearly stated: "Today, the entire building is undergoing circuit maintenance. After 6 pm, the power will be cut off."
Without electricity, it is naturally impossible to work. The employees went home early, but an uninvited guest visited here earlier.
In the corridor on the 13th floor of Wayne Building, a figure was slowly moving forward. It was not difficult to see from his footsteps that he was also a little hesitant. Today's situation seemed to be a little different from the past.
In the past, Wayne Building would not turn off the lights so early. Many rooms here were brightly lit all night. Even if there were fewer people at night, there were still people.
But today, there was nothing here. He was accompanied only by the whistling cold wind outside the window and the increasingly loud rain.
The sense of oppression brought by the typhoon was completely different from the sea breeze in the past. After the storm swept in from the sea, it did not weaken its momentum at all, but moved forward, as if the steel jungle built by humans was still vulnerable in front of it.
The fierce wind blew through the steel building, bringing a strange sound like crying. When the first lightning came, the sneaky figure was startled.
The white light lit up the night sky in an instant, and also illuminated the figure.
It was a young man wearing a tight uniform. There was nothing special about his appearance, but he was holding a gun with a strange shape in his hand.
When the lightning fell, he instinctively fired a shot into the void. In an instant, a shining fragment appeared in the room. He took two steps at a time and rushed directly into the fragment.
After a while, it seemed that he realized that there was no danger. The figure reappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and continued to search in the office of Wayne Building.
If anyone has read the Flash series of comics, then he must have recognized his identity at this moment. This villain who sneaked into Wayne Building and gave Batman a headache is called Mirror Master.
As the name suggests, the ability of the Mirror Master is that he can shuttle through mirrors, or all reflective objects. He also has a mirror gun that can create mirrors for traveling through space.
At the same time, he can also split into many, creating many mirror clones to confuse opponents. In early comics, he can also create strong flashes to catch the Flash off guard.
At this time, the Mirror Master was rummaging around in the office of Wayne Building. This was because he had previously focused on searching the data room he thought might be, but there was no important information in it. In order not to miss any possible clues, he was searching in a carpet-style manner.
He had no intention of making a quick decision, because he could leave at any time and no one could stop him. What about Bruce Wayne? He was just a rich man. The Mirror Master could even trap him in the mirror space at any time. As long as the mirror was broken, he would die.
Just as the Mirror Master was very focused on checking the information, suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a black shadow from the corner of his eye.
The Mirror Master turned his head, but saw nothing. He thought, maybe it was just an illusion caused by the wind blowing the curtains.
But this made him a little nervous, because at this time, the environment in Wayne Building was indeed very scary.
The whole building was out of power, which meant that there was no light here. Under normal circumstances, even if the glass curtain wall building was not turned on, the moonlight could shine in, and the scene inside the house could be barely seen, but this was not the case in Gotham.
Gotham was a city where the moon and the sun were rarely seen. The most common thing in the sky of this city was dark clouds, which could block all light, not to mention. It was still raining now.
The 13th floor where the Mirror Master was located was a very awkward floor. It was far from the ground, and the light of the street lamps was difficult to shine up, but the floor was not high enough to see the lighthouse from afar. And it was very unlucky that the room where the Mirror Master was located faced east, and there was another building not far away, which almost completely blocked the light.
In an almost completely dark environment, people's spirits would be highly concentrated, and their sensitivity would also increase. It would be easy to magnify some slight movements, leading to paranoia.
The mirror master's eyes were no longer so focused. He picked up a document and glanced to the side as he scanned it, as if he was observing the state of the curtains.
Suddenly, there was another noise on his left, which was particularly clear in the dark room. The mirror master immediately put down the document and made a defensive posture. He looked carefully and found that a paper cup on the table had fallen to the ground.
He walked over, picked up the paper cup, and held it in front of him. He could not see clearly until he brought it close to his eyes. There seemed to be some stains on the paper cup.
The mirror master thought it might be coffee stains left by drinking coffee, but when the paper cup was close, he smelled a strong smell of blood.
With a "pop", the paper cup he threw hit the glass. The mirror master swallowed his saliva, took two steps back, and turned around to leave.
But at this moment, a strange "squeak" sound came, and a gust of wind blew from the open window. The cold wind made the mirror master feel a chill on his back, and he realized that he had already broken out in a cold sweat.
Investigating in the dark. What is needed is not only superpowers, but also strong willpower and the courage to face all kinds of emergencies.
Not everyone is Batman, who only appears in the dark nights of Gotham. Mirror Master comes from Central City, where the sun is bright and the climate is good. Therefore, he has never stayed alone in a room without any light on such a terrifying typhoon night.
Once people begin to feel scared, they will be restless and confused. The same is true for Mirror Master. He just wants to leave the room quickly. He looks back and walks forward, not noticing that there is a ballpoint pen at his feet.
He stepped on it with one foot, moved his body forward, and the ballpoint pen slid back like a ball. With a "bang", Mirror Master fell to the ground.
He hurriedly got up, took out his pistol, and waved it in the air. He said, "Get out! I see you! Get out! Don't let me shoot!!"
The only answer to him was the howling of the night wind outside the window.
Mirror Master's lips trembled. After a while, he fired another shot and got into the mirror world.
After calming down for a while, he thought. He might have made a big fuss. It was just that the window was not closed tightly, causing the wind to blow in. The smell on the paper cup might just be his illusion. If he ran away like this, it would be embarrassing.
People in a safe environment always overestimate their courage, such as every visitor who swore in front of the haunted house.
Mirror Master poked his head out again and found that everything had returned to calm. He walked out of the mirror and was about to leave the office, but at this time, he heard two "swish" sounds.
Looking back suddenly, Mirror Master saw that the curtains were pulled up by themselves, covering all the glass.
In his field of vision, a breeze came from far to near, carrying a thin mist, passing through the center of the office.
Suddenly, on a desk farthest from Mirror Master, a stack of A4 paper was blown up and fluttered in the air.
Mirror Master looked up and saw that all the papers crossed strange arcs and then flew towards the target.
The glass partitions between the desks were all covered with paper, and all the reflective stainless steel glass water cups were also wrapped.
Like strange footsteps, the A4 paper did not stop moving forward, flying towards the glass walls and doors of the entire office, and then one by one, covering all the glass tightly.
As soon as the mirror master raised his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his hand, and with a "snap", the mirror gun in his hand was shot away.
He became even more panicked and turned around to run, but suddenly a piece of A4 paper was stuck on his face, and he hurriedly took the A4 paper off.
But soon, he saw that strange smiley faces began to appear on the A4 papers pasted on the glass.
In the almost completely dark office, the mirror master could only see that one after another strange smiley face patterns were spreading towards him, and a strong smell of blood came. At this time, he found that he had no way to escape.
He ran to the door, but it was locked. The mirror gun fell to the other side of the office, but there were papers with smiley faces on them.
All reflective objects were blocked, so his ability could not be used, and fear had made him unable to make correct judgments.
He leaned against the door and fell to the ground. The moment the fluttering paper flew towards him, he blocked his arms in front of him and screamed.
Then, he saw the tip of a knife appeared in the middle of his forehead. A man stood in front of him with an umbrella in his hand. The mirror master slowly raised his hands.
He kept panting and staring at the man in front of him. He asked: "You... who are you? Why are you here?"
"This is the question I want to ask you." Schiller said: "Here, you are the uninvited guest."
"Are you Wayne? Oh, no, you can't be Wayne, who are you?! Aren't you also an uninvited guest?!" The mirror master raised his voice and said in a cowardly manner.
Schiller kept his eyes closed because he knew that the Mirror Master could enter people's eyes through the reflection of pupils, causing temporary blindness.
"You shouldn't be here." Schiller brought the tip of the knife close to the Mirror Master and deliberately shook it in front of his eyes.
Feeling death approaching, the Mirror Master wanted to escape from here urgently, but there was no reflective object in the room, except for the knife in front of him.
The knife fixed on the front of the umbrella had a smooth and flat metal surface, which could reflect a person's figure even in a dim light environment, like a mirror.
In an instant, the Mirror Master activated his ability, stepped forward, and invaded the umbrella knife.
The next second, he screamed and fell to the ground, with a cursed black mist lingering all over his body.
In the pain, he saw that a knife was inserted into the gap in the ground less than three centimeters away from his ear.
A cold voice exploded in his ears like a thunder, completely breaking the psychological defense of the Mirror Master.
"This is a curse. If you don't remove it, you will die within 24 hours."
