Chapter 1279: A Pair of Solitary Shadows (XIX)
"We don't want to know why Schiller knows what clothes are in your closet..." Hal said. 蓶
"We are not interested in what you do first thing when you get up..." Constantine immediately followed.
"You two even get along to the point where you stab each other, I mean, you can still live in peace after stabbing each other..." Clark immediately continued.
"...We are not surprised at what you will do." Lucifer made the final decision.
Like a drama, he took over the conversation without any gaps, blocking Bruce's words to explain back into his mouth, like a punch on cotton, which made him feel powerless.
This matter is actually not difficult to explain. The most tortured scene between Bruce and Schiller in the past four years is to revise the paper.
Even if Bruce Wayne is a famous rich man, it is impossible for a famous psychologist like Schiller to bow down for a few dollars and rush to Wayne Manor to revise his paper.
Bruce can't let Schiller do this, because Wayne Manor also has Selina, Dick, Aisha and Alfred.蓶
Let alone his girlfriend and children, if Alfred knew what his paper was like, I'm afraid that Aisha would not be able to restore Bruce's image in Alfred's eyes.
In other words. The place to revise the paper is either in school or in Rodriguez Manor, but even if it is in school, Schiller still has to go home in the end. Bruce can only go home with him before the revision is completed. Want to run away? Not possible.
Of course, as we all know, the scene of Batman walking in the garden and being hung on the tree basically appeared when Schiller asked Batman, who had just finished patrolling, to come to the manor to revise the paper.
Batman walked in the garden not because the garden was easy to walk, but mainly because he didn't want to be seen by Merkel. Otherwise, with the speed of information exchange between butlers, Alfred would come to kill him in less than an hour.
Looking back, Bruce almost wanted to slap himself in the face when he was a freshman. At the beginning, he asked Schiller to leave him a room in Rodriguez Manor. Unexpectedly, his words came true. In the past few years, whenever Batman slept, he basically stayed at Schiller's house.
Although Batman is not a typical autistic person and has basically no stereotyped behavior, he is not a sloppy person. Like other patients with mental illness, he likes to put everything in a familiar place, so no matter where he goes, as long as there is a wardrobe, the way of placing clothes is unchanged.
Bruce also knows that this way of placing clothes actually comes from Alfred, because since he was a child, Alfred has been organizing his clothes. The old butler is British and is meticulous in storing formal clothes. Even if there is a little difference between shirts, they must not be mixed. Each piece of clothing has its place. 蓶
When Bruce stays at Schiller's house, he basically doesn't bring a change of clothes, but the problem is that for Batman, sleep is not the end of the day. He is also used to thinking about some problems that he has no time to think about during the day in his dreams.
As mentioned before, human dreams are connected by the dream world. The distance between dreams does not entirely depend on the distance between reality. It is not necessarily close in reality, but there are exceptions.
In general, the distance of dreams is based on the frequency of consciousness activities, which can be explained in a slightly sci-fi way as "brain waves". Brain waves at the same frequency are more likely to connect together.
And obviously, after Schiller and Bruce tortured each other over Bruce's paper, both of them fell asleep with a lot on their minds. When they returned to their own palaces of thought, they were even more angry, especially Schiller.
Then, Schiller found that even without crazy wine, as long as Bruce fell asleep in this state, the dreams of the two were still very close, so Schiller could climb over the wall, grab Bruce, and continue to revise the paper in his dream.
Although there are many rooms in the Thinking Tower, including some empty offices, Arrogant really doesn't want other Schillers to know what Bruce's paper looks like.
So. Every time he brought Bruce from that hole, and then took him to his room, the two continued to have some unfriendly consultations on the content of the paper, with discussion first and discussion later.蓶
Over time, the other Schillers got used to it, and in the end, Bruce could even climb over the wall from his dream, walk through the hole below, and come to Pride's room without Pride's guidance.
In the real room, there are no clothes or wardrobes, but in the Mind Tower, everything depends on imagination. When Bruce stays in Pride's room, he will project the bedroom in his memory here, and it will temporarily become his bedroom in Wayne Manor, and naturally there will be a wardrobe that Alfred has packed.
The special thing about Schiller's Mind Tower is that when Pride goes to work, the Mind Tower is also open, and Pride's thinking and the operation of the Mind Tower do not affect each other.
So it is easy to have a situation where, in reality, Pride Schiller is giving a lecture at Gotham University, and Bruce is sleeping below, but Bruce is not actually sleeping, but doing homework in the room of the Mind Tower.
This is the most important reason why arrogant Schiller allowed Bruce to sleep in his class. Of course, his own statement is slightly different from this, but it can be ignored.
In this case, it is difficult for Schiller to know the details of Bruce's life. The flow of thoughts is different from the real world. Schiller often presses Bruce to revise his papers for dozens of hours, and he can even count how many hairs he has grown.
These people in the theater in this world are not surprised by this. As they said before, these two people stabbed each other, and even more than once. They tortured each other for four years. In the end, they almost played each other to death. In the end, they were able to sit together calmly. What else can they persuade? What else can they persuade? 蓶
Even Clark began to doubt whether he was right to force them to separate. He thought that both of them must be in pain, but they were helpless because of their illness. Now he found that it would be better to go to Mexico to plow two more acres of land instead of taking care of these two crazy people.
Clark even wanted to say that these two people should work together to make a tutorial to teach all the mentally ill people in the world to pair up in this way, one-on-one precise internal friction, internal conflicts, internal solutions, and not come out to harm ordinary people. If it really succeeds, it will be a great merit.
But the problem is that Jason in this universe doesn't know this. In his opinion, Schiller is a weirdo who suddenly appeared, and it is very likely that he is a criminal. So when Schiller accurately said Batman's very private living habits, he almost dropped his jaw.
Even through the mask, it can be seen that Jason's mouth can't close for a long time, and in addition to shock, there is another emotion, that is, the anxiety brought by the desire for knowledge.
Just as Jason opened his mouth to ask, suddenly, a pair of chopsticks was handed to Jason. Schiller looked at Jason and said, "Don't worry, your adoptive father has made an appointment for you for a 5-hour treatment."
Jason opened his mouth again. He was about to object to the time, but he remembered Schiller's words just now. He read the word in his mouth and said, "...adoptive father?"
"Isn't he your adoptive father?" Schiller pretended to be puzzled and said, "Did I misjudge the relationship between you? It's okay. The medical records can be changed..."
After speaking, Schiller let go He put down the tableware in his hand, wiped his hands gently, and turned to get the medical record book, but at this time, Jason suddenly stuttered. He held a chopstick in one hand and stuttered: "No, that, wait a minute..."
Schiller sat back again, as if he had just thought of it, and said a little puzzledly: "If he is not your adoptive father, why would he be willing to spend such a high price to let you seek psychological counseling from me?"
"Price? What price?"
Jason keenly picked out the words in Schiller's words. Although he has a bad temper, he has a very rich imagination.
He felt that Batman must have agreed to some unreasonable request from Schiller, so he immediately said angrily: "Did you lie to Batman? You deliberately described my problem as very serious. Humph, I have seen many liars like you. Tell me, what did you cheat from him?!"
"I am not a liar, and I didn't cheat him. My psychological consultation is clearly marked with a price. He paid, so I will treat you."
When Jason heard Schiller say it was money, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his hand and said, "Tsk, I thought it was nothing. That rich guy has a lot of money..."
"Oh, really? Then I'm relieved. Then please bring this bill to him after the treatment today."
Jason didn't care about him at all Whatever he said, he crossed one leg over the other leg in a frivolous manner, lifted the lower part of his mask, took the water cup, drank a sip of water, took the bill with his other hand, glanced at it and said: "Who do you think you are? You still want to order me to run errands? If you ask me to take you, I will... Pfft!!!!!!!"
Jason stood up with a "swoosh", his eyes wide open, staring at the series of numbers at the end of the bill, which had no decimal points and seemed particularly long. His voice was almost screaming: "Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands... How much???????"
Jason took the bill down, looked at Schiller with the same shocked eyes, then took the bill up again, looked at the number again, and finally looked at Schiller again.
"Wait a minute!"
Jason shouted, and Schiller just opened his mouth to speak, Jason stretched out a hand to stop him, and looked down at his clothes, ran back to the center of the living room, turned his head back and forth to look at the whole room again.
Obviously, the most eye-catching thing in the living room is the dazzling array of exhibits on the bookshelf. In Jason's eyes, these strange sculptures began to shine with the luster of money, and soon he found a familiar collection among them. 蓶
"...Isn't this the wine glass that was so expensive in the warehouse before?...Oh, I understand!" Jason suddenly realized, and he walked quickly to sit opposite Schiller.
The young man seemed to have discovered a big secret. He leaned forward, stared at Schiller with shining eyes, and said in a low voice: "You are not helping Batman launder money, are you? ? ? ! !"
Greed slapped his forehead in the theater and shouted to Jason on the screen: "Look carefully! Boy! Who is laundering money?! Arrogant, that old antique who can't even use an abacus?! His vision is terrible!"
"I think I'm going to be in big trouble." Jason commented stiffly: "He actually dared to talk about money in front of Professor Schiller. I think he might be thrown into the river. I hope Batman can fish him out in time."
Although no one else said anything, they obviously agreed with Jason's evaluation of himself.
Everyone knows that Professor Schiller is very disgusted with settling accounts and has great malice towards finance. He calls Wall Street the Autonomous Region of Human Enemies. All those who repeatedly talk about money with him will not have any good results.
But somewhat unexpectedly, Schiller was not angry, but just smiled, looked into Jason's eyes and said: 蓶
"Isn't Batman your adoptive father? He is willing to spend so much money on you. I thought you were very important to him."
"I..."
