Chapter 803: How Schiller Was Split (Part 2)

"One last question..." Victor looked into Schiller's eyes and asked, "Since you are now a formal employee, why did you let that polluted personality replace you and do these things to Batman?"

Schiller raised his arms, hugged his arms and said, "Victor, you have to know that I am not a person with a good temper. I have shown excessive patience to this student named Bruce Wayne."

"In these two months, I chased him for papers and homework every day, urged him to attend classes, and watched him study. What did he give me in return? I just took a look at other students, and he missed classes for a whole month!"

Schiller took out a notebook, threw it on the bed, and said, "The most important thing is that when he still has a lot of credits to graduate, he missed the round of internships with the most points! And he was He just promised me that he would never delay his graduation!"

After listening to this, Victor lowered his head and sighed, saying, "Okay, I can understand your anger, but things have gone too far to this point. Bruce is too seriously injured...

Schiller shook his head and said nothing more. Victor knew that he was not inexplicable, but there were some things he couldn't say.

And the part Schiller didn't explain was about the Laughing Bat.

In the principle of his split personality introduced earlier, he didn't say another very important point, that is, these personality traits are split from the complete personality, and they share memories.

The memory is stored in a room in the tower, and any personality can see it. The administrator can indeed prevent a certain personality from seeing a certain part of the memory, but, Schiller the Clown is half of Arrogance. He and the current Arrogant Schiller originally have the same personality trait.

The current Schiller can call up memories, and Schiller the Clown can do the same.

After Schiller the Clown saw Schiller's memories, the most absurd thing for Schiller the Clown was not the truth that everything was a comic story, but the Laughing Bat.

In this world, absolutely no clown can stand this guy.

Schiller the Clown is a combination of the Joker and Schiller. The Joker doesn't like the Laughing Bat, and Schiller doesn't like the Laughing Bat either. The superposition of their dislikes is not one plus one equals two.

Moreover, Schiller the Clown is also part of Arrogance, and he is also paranoid and stubborn.

Since Schiller the Clown saw this character, he no longer messed around in Schiller's thinking tower and made all kinds of trouble.

This It's not because he suddenly changed his personality and wanted to be a good citizen, but because he knew that in front of the Batman Who Laughs, Schiller and even Batman were not his enemies, but his teammates.

As long as he could make the Batman Who Laughs go back and eat shit, Schiller the Clown could cooperate with anyone.

That's why, Schiller the Clown was so obedient several times before, driven by other Schillers to have fun or create chaos for him.

And this time, Schiller was actually paying Schiller the Clown, or it couldn't be called a payment. Their core interests were the same, that is, the Batman Who Laughs got out of DC.

What Schiller didn't tell Victor was that Schiller the Clown and Jack the Clown had planned it long ago. The first step of their plan was not to deal with the laughter that had already been born in other universes, but to prevent the possibility of laughter being born in this world.

It's not impossible for the laughter to appear here. After all, when they went deep into Bruce's consciousness before, Schiller and Jack the Clown dug out a laughing egg together.

This means that the universe still has the seeds of laughter buried. If they dig out one, there may be another one somewhere else. They can't go around the world looking for seeds.

In this case, there is only another way to prevent the appearance of laughter.

The so-called Laughing Bat is actually the Batman who laughs, but in the comic background story, Batman is infected by the Joker virus and laughs.

Since there is no way to prevent the birth of laughter, it is better to let Batman laugh louder.

From beginning to end, among the three clowns, Schiller the Clown has a dominant position, because Jack the Clown also knows that he has many judgments based on reality and can break the inevitable tragic situation.

For example, this time, Schiller the Clown did not intend to cure the laughter, but to give Batman a push.

There are many kinds of laughter in this world, but the Joker who has integrated Schiller understands that being infected by the laughter virus is the most meaningless, thoughtless, and least philosophical kind of laughter.

Did Batman really laugh?

Yes, he laughed.

But does he really want to laugh?

No, he just took a drug by mistake, and his expression changed, just like a stroke patient.

The Laughing Bat didn't want to laugh from the bottom of his heart.

In this case, the Joker Schiller made Batman really laugh, a genuine and brilliant laugh.

A fake can never beat a real one.

A Batman who really wants to laugh can't be compared with a fool who fixes a smiling mask on his face.

To this end, Schiller and Jack made a series of plans. Schiller knew that Bruce would realize that Batman's path would not work one day. As long as he guided him a little, Bruce would definitely turn his attention to the slums.

In the slums, the $100 that Jack gave Batman was not the key to open the shackles, but the hand that dragged him into the abyss.

Because only if he had the money to rent a house and could stay in the slums could he see the deeper darkness.

Arrogant Schiller knew everything. He didn't really want to do this, but he had to admit that this was the best way to deal with the laughter, which was extremely harmful and insulting.

It can be imagined that one day, the laughing bat opened a new universe with excitement, just like opening a new gift.

But the box was not filled with patients with mental illness, suspicious and controlling all day long, but a Batman who smiled and said "surprise" to him.

This was really scary.

Schiller paused, then said loudly: "Bruce's score is still as far from graduation as from here to the Soviet Union, and he dared to miss a round of internship!"

Victor hurriedly said: "But fortunately, the healing potion you provided is taking effect, maybe he can catch up with the second round..."

Schiller sighed and said: "It is very likely that he will not catch up, and his score is too far away from the score line for graduation."

Victor understood his implication, raised his eyebrows and said: "You seem to be focusing on his score instead of his academic level."

When Schiller turned and left, he only left the last sentence: "For a mentally ill patient whose mental state is often unstable, you can't ask for more."

After that, the two left, leaving Bruce alone lying on the bed, and his wounds were recovering at a very fast speed visible to the naked eye, but because there were too many wounds, it would still take some time to recover.

After Schiller and Victor left, Bruce, who was lying on the bed, began to breathe faster. He moved his eyelids and then opened his eyes, but from his eyes, he didn't just wake up.

After Schiller left the ward, he went directly back to Gotham University. He was going to pick up Jason, but was stopped by Captain Cold on the way. Captain Cold said to him:

"Just now, we received news from Central City. They said that the Pied Piper had disappeared for more than two months. According to them, the Pied Piper was also hired by Savage and came to Gotham. After so long without news, I'm afraid he is in danger. Professor, we would like to ask you..."

"The Pied Piper?" Schiller said with some doubts. He thought about it, but he could only remember that he was a villain in Central City.

He thought, I don't know what Savage was thinking. Going to Central City, where the security is the best, to win over the villains there, and then sending them to Gotham, this idea, in the words of high EQ, is reverse thinking and quite creative, in the words of low EQ, it is, if you don't accept the idiot, you are really idiot.

So Schiller asked again: "What abilities does the flute player have?"

"He can control others through the sound of the flute, but in fact, his nature is not bad, because..."

Captain Cold introduced the flute player to Schiller, and at the same time, he said: "He is really good at playing musical instruments, and he is not very old. I heard that Gotham University has an instrumental music department. If I start preparing for the exam now, I might be able to get into Gotham University in September this year..."

Schiller nodded, thinking that what Captain Cold said made sense.

The villains in Central City are not bad. If they are thrown into Gotham, they are simply rare moral models. Moreover, they have their own strengths and talents. They are very good students. If one is recruited, the risk of delayed graduation will be reduced by one point. No matter how you calculate it, it is a cost-effective deal.

So, after finishing a class, Schiller called Cobblepot to find someone in Gotham. As the king of children, Cobblepot is the best choice.

Cobblepot was still in the Arkham Sanatorium. He was determined to avoid the crazy Batman. He even planned to live here until the end of this year. When he received Schiller's call, he frowned, but still issued the order to find someone.

According to the appearance clues provided by Captain Cold, the group of children turned the streets and alleys of Gotham upside down, but there was no trace of the Pied Piper. Logically, with such a distinctive dress, it should not be impossible to find it.

During the search, a child learned from a gang member that the last place where the Pied Piper appeared was on the street where a video store was located.

After layers of contacts, Cobblepot finally got the information that a weird man wearing a green hood and black tights had appeared at the door of a video store, was shot several times by the gang, and then disappeared.

When this news was handed over to Schiller, he knew that the Pied Piper could not have escaped by himself. After all, the people in Central City did not live in gun battles every day. After being hit by bullets, they would definitely lose their ability to resist immediately.

Schiller also had a guess as to who saved him. After all, it was Savage who sent the Piper. If the Piper was in danger, he would definitely ask Savage for help.

Schiller's guess was a lucky coincidence. The Piper was indeed rescued by Savage, but not on the street. Instead, after the Piper was taken back to the Batcave by Batman and locked up, Savage found the Batcave and took the Piper away from there.

This time, Savage wanted to enter the Batcave, not to steal Batman's plan.

Although Savage knew that there was a figure like Batman in Gotham, he did not take him seriously. After all, Batman's reputation had suffered a great blow some time ago, which made Savage lose interest in cooperating with him and did not list him as the number one enemy.

Savage just wanted to save the Piper. After all, there were so many fewer members of the Rogue Gang, and there were very few talented people under his command. If he lost another one, he would be one step closer to being a commander without troops.

Of course, the Batcave is not that easy to enter, but Savage got a magical thing from another partner, which can be used to travel through various places without any hindrance.

Since meeting Constantine, Batman has set traps against magic in the Batcave, but the thing that Savage holds is something Batman has never seen before, so Batman did not take precautions against its magical properties.

Now, Batman's Batcave is located in the mountains outside Gotham. It is not completely completed, and there is still a large part of the mountain that has not been modified at the bottom. After all, no matter what, his time as Batman is still too short.

In addition, Bruce went to experience life and disappeared in Gotham for two months. The Batcave has been empty and unmanned. In this vacuum period, Savage used the magical prop to successfully sneak into the Batcave and rescued the Piper who was almost starving to death there.

Although Savage's goal was not to steal the plan, when he entered this magical base, he found that the owner of this base must be extraordinary.

He didn't have a password, so he couldn't start any monitoring system, but looking at the densely packed monitoring screens, he also knew that when people in this dark city were walking through the hustle and bustle of traffic, there was a dark shadow sitting on this chair, watching everything through the surveillance camera.

This also made Savage pay attention to this place. After all, the few people he sent were all defeated, but the owner of this base was able to install cameras in every hidden corner of Gotham, which showed that he must be the local snake here.

Savage felt that what he lacked most now was intelligence. Originally, he sent people into Gotham to spy on intelligence, but while spying, the people were gone. This group of people who were paid to win over were unreliable, so what he investigated should be useful, right?

So Savage began to search in the Bat Cave, but all the electronic devices here required passwords, and they were not simple digital passwords, but combinations of various passwords, which could not be guessed by guessing alone.

Finding that he couldn't start these devices, Savage turned his attention to the paper documents, but Batman would never leave any important documents outside, and the filing cabinets were all connected to the mountain with a special material, so they couldn't be moved.

Savage tried for a long time and found that it was impossible to destroy these things by physical methods. He began to pin his hopes on this magical item in his hand.

Walking into the dark archive room, Savage's primitive and wild face and wild hair were gradually illuminated. He stretched out his hand, and a lantern emitted a mysterious light.

He carried the lantern and walked to the nearest filing cabinet. Within the range of the light, he passed his hand through the wall of the filing cabinet and took out a document from there.

He saw that it said "Gotham City Dangerous Criminals and Dangerous Potential Criminals Countermeasures Plan 2".

Under the light, Savage squinted his eyes and opened the document.

He didn't notice that there was a line of small words at the bottom of the cover, which was the time when the plan was formulated-"December 9, 1987".
