Chapter 940: Journey Into Schiller's Past (Part 2)

After less than a second of thinking, Batman was sure that he had no conditions to deal with an out-of-control mental patient, even if he was very thin and wearing a straitjacket.

The psychiatric knowledge he had learned told him that many mental patients in the process of illness were terribly powerful, and they were very crazy and not afraid of pain. They might have all kinds of terrible hallucinations, making them very aggressive.

In this case, it was not a good idea to confront them head-on. Moreover, Batman had found the weak item. The best way was to find the place where Zatanna said to escape, take the weak item, and leave this memory.

But the "da da da" sound of the metal ring dragging on the ground was always behind him, and even getting closer and closer. Batman turned around and saw that Schiller, who was wearing a straitjacket, was only three meters away from him.

Because the light was too weak, Batman did not see the specific appearance, but it was very conspicuous that the metal buckle of the straitjacket he was wearing had been completely torn, and he was wearing a metal mask on his face, revealing only his eyes, but from the look in his eyes, this should be Schiller.

Batman immediately sped up and continued to run downstairs. From Schiller's diary, Batman had found the clue to the escape exit.

The "da da da" sound rang again. Thanks to his previous experience in dealing with the killer, Batman quickly found a room and hid under the bed.

Hiding under the bed, Batman could see that the door was slowly pushed open, and a figure walked up. The shadow spread along the smooth ground to the bottom of the bed. At this angle, Batman could still see the straps of the straitjacket and the metal buckle dragging on the ground.

Batman saw Schiller, who was wearing a straitjacket, turn around in the room. Schiller did not seem to have a vision beyond that of ordinary people, so he did not find Batman hiding under the bed. After he walked out of the door and left, the "da da da" sound of metal hitting the ground completely disappeared, Batman climbed up from under the bed.

Batman remembered that before he rushed down, he saw a map of the entire hospital on the wall at the entrance of the stairs, but because the light in the corridor was too weak, he could not see the details of the map clearly, so he now had two things to do, one was to find a lighting tool, and the other was to look at the map again.

Batman looked around the ward, which was a four-person room and much messier than Schiller's ward. He planned to look around here to see if he could find a flashlight.

He opened the cabinet, which was full of various daily necessities. As he flipped through it, Batman found a stack of manuscript paper.

It was an old-fashioned manuscript paper he had never seen before. Each piece of paper was relatively thin, and it was not very thick when stacked together. More importantly, at the top of the manuscript paper, a name "Ninth Management Office" was written in red Chinese.

There was a horizontal line under the word, and below was the horizontal grid of the manuscript paper. There was nothing written on the manuscript paper, so Batman focused on that name?

Batman certainly knew how to write the Chinese word "hospital", but what puzzled him was that there were no such words on the manuscript paper, nor any specific place names, and Batman had never heard of the so-called management office.

Soon, Batman found a few damp matches in the corner of the cabinet. He lit the rolled manuscript paper with the matches lit by the rough wall, and then rushed to the map at the staircase.

He found the name he was looking for on the map, and he ran down another floor and rushed into a room. There was a sign next to the door that read "Review Room".

Here, Batman saw the open window at first sight.

Outside the window was not a landscape, but another light spot. Batman knew that this might be the way to other memory spaces, but he did not leave immediately because he saw that there were many documents in the review room.

Batman now has fragmentary clues. He knows that he is missing some key things. According to Schiller's diary, he has come here for follow-up visits several times, which means that there is a high possibility of Schiller's diagnosis report here.

Why did he come here? Why did he wear a straitjacket? Why did he have to disguise himself as an ordinary person to leave here? Batman thought that he might be able to find the answer here.

So he looked out the window of the follow-up room and found that Schiller had not caught up yet, so he turned on the desk lamp on the desk and began to search in the filing cabinet.

Batman remembered the Chinese name, but he did not find any files with this name in the three large filing cabinets in the room. Then, he began to search the drawers on the side of the desk.

Finally, he found a file in the corner and the bottom drawer. It was placed in a blue folder. After opening it, Batman finally saw the familiar name.

This medical report was different from what he had seen before. There was no photo, no specific identity information, and even no age, but Batman saw that the document called Schiller "Patient No. 1".

Looking down, Batman first saw the medical results, which stated that Schiller suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder.

Batman frowned. From what he knew about Schiller, Schiller didn't seem to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Then he looked down and saw the medical records he wanted to find the most, but there was a warning before the medical records.

"Patient No. 1 has extremely serious aggressive tendencies and has received professional training. He needs to be treated and re-examined under professional safety measures to avoid severe stimulation. If there is a violent reaction, targeted measures can be taken..."

When he saw the words "targeted measures", Batman suddenly opened his eyes. Targeted measures? Does it refer to drugs or anesthesia?

Batman turned out other medical records, which also had similar reminders, but the reminders of other people were all about specific drugs, such as the specific categories of tranquilizers and the specific methods of comfort. Only Schiller's medical record had a mysterious "targeted measures" written on it.

Batman felt that he had found the key, so he continued to look down. Below were printed brief medical records.

"On November 7, Patient No. 1 showed mood changes and seemed to be very resistant to eating in a closed space. He screamed, convulsed and had other aggressive behaviors. He was taken to the observation room for observation and was fine."

"On November 9, Patient No. 1 showed aggressive behavior again and was taken to the observation room for observation. The safety measures were breached and the targeted measures took effect. He was taken to the observation room for observation and was fine."

"On November 11, the condition improved..."

"On November 22, Patient No. 1 showed aggressive behavior again. The targeted measures took effect and he was taken to the observation room..."

"On December 1, Patient No. 1 again..."

Batman felt more and more strange. Schiller seemed to be getting sick all the time, but every time he got sick, it seemed that there was nothing serious.

Moreover, the hospital hardly took the measures it should have taken. In this chat record, there was almost no mention of the process of violent subjugation and the use of tranquilizers.

Schiller's daily life here seemed to be getting sick, being subdued, being taken to the observation room, finding that he was fine, and then being released again, and then getting sick again next time.

Normally, patients with aggressive tendencies will increase their medication dosage, and even when they have violent aggressive behavior, they may use sedatives, and they will continue to use them for a period of time to prevent them from hurting others and themselves.

If Schiller takes sedatives normally, how can he have violent behavior every few days? And almost every time he has violent behavior, he can break free from the straitjacket?

Batman, who knows something about pharmacy, knows that this is almost impossible. Judging from Schiller's height and weight at this time, it is almost impossible for him to metabolize sedatives in such a short time, and it is impossible for him to have the strength to break free from the security measures of the mental hospital.

Batman put the box he had been holding on the table, opened it, and looked at the straitjacket again.

He found that the quality of this suit was very good. Even if he put on this suit without any resistance, it would take a long time to break free. So how did Schiller break through the security measures again and again?

Batman set his eyes on the previous warning again. He looked at the words "professionally trained" and thought about it.

Before, he fell into the chemical pool, was fished out by Schiller, and then sent to the hospital. He was indeed unconscious for a while, but he woke up soon. Therefore, he heard the conversation between Schiller and Victor in front of the bed, which was the part about how Schiller was cracked.

In short, when Schiller was a child, he tried to build a tower of building blocks in his memory, but because he had no skills and was full of emotions at the time, the tower collapsed after being stimulated.

Because the tower of building blocks collapsed, his thinking and behavior patterns were different from those of ordinary people, so he was admitted to a mental hospital. In order to leave the mental hospital, he had to glue the collapsed fragments of the tower of building blocks together again to form the current palace of thinking.

Batman saw evidence from the exploration just now, such as his diary in which he tried to disguise himself as an ordinary person but failed, the design drawings of the tower, etc., but obviously, Schiller only said part of it.

He did not mention his frequent outbreaks of aggressiveness, the so-called professional training, and the targeted measures.

Batman felt that Schiller's weakness might be hidden in the part of the truth he concealed, and at this time, he heard the "da da" sound approaching the room where he was.

Batman did not hesitate, took the document, stepped on the table, and prepared to escape from the window.

But just as he was about to jump, a dark shadow rushed in from the window and knocked Batman to the ground.

Constantine rolled and crawled all the way until he hit the opposite wall. He screamed in pain, covered his forehead and stood up, then gasped and said:

"Finally... finally escaped! Safe! That memory space is simply... simply too dangerous..."

The next second, he turned his head and met Schiller, who was wearing a straitjacket and a mask.
