Chapter 1796: Summer in Fool Village (X)
Chapter 1770 Summer in Fool Village (Ten)
Schiller stood by the pool, looking at Talia who was like a drowned chicken in the pool, and gently tapped the back of his other hand with his fingers, revealing a look of understanding.
Generally speaking, no matter who Schiller faced, it was not his style to take direct action, but after discovering that the other party might be Talia, Schiller had the idea of conducting academic experiments again.
Last night, Bruce, who was picked from the tree branch, said that he wanted to stay in Rodriguez Manor for a few days. Schiller asked him the reason, and Bruce only said that he was hiding from a troublesome woman. At that time, Schiller did not investigate further, thinking that Bruce might have gotten into some romantic trouble again.
But when Pamela said that the other party was likely to be in the basement of Gotham Cathedral, Schiller was sure that the other party was most likely a member of the Assassin's League, because the Lazarus Pool used by the Assassin's League was actually a wine pool, and the ingredients in it were all Dionysus factors. Except for the people of the Assassin's League, no one could find the wine pool under Gotham so accurately.
Combined with what Bruce said before that there was a woman who was looking for trouble with him, Schiller immediately thought of Talia Algol, the daughter of the assassin master Ra'sho and the biological mother of Damian in other universes.
Schiller turned into gray mist silently and knocked Talia into the pool with an umbrella. In fact, it was to observe whether Batman's attention could create the Joker, then Batman's escape could prevent others from becoming the Joker.
The Assassin's League's research on the Dionysus factor is not very in-depth. They only use the Lazarus Pool to prolong life and heal injuries. There is no research on the relationship between Batman and the Joker. But then again, even if Ra'sho has studied Batman's Joker Law, he can't create a madman in his base.
Schiller doesn't know if today is a bad day for Talia, but the concentration of the Dionysus factor in Gotham's wine pool should be higher than that in the Lazarus Pool. After ordinary people jump in, although they may not become the Joker directly, after absorbing a large amount of crazy Dionysus factors, it is easy to have some characteristics of the Joker.
When Alberto jumped into the pool, he also laughed like the Joker, but Batman didn't choose him, so he didn't become a real Joker. At that time, it was just that Batman didn't choose him. Now Batman is very repulsive to Talia. Will she be completely immune to the Dionysus factor?
From the results, yes, now Talia's face is not a crazy smile, but cold and angry, which means that she is not affected by the Dionysus factor at all. Theoretically, this is impossible, so the only explanation is that Batman has no interest in Talia, so even if there are more Dionysus factors, it can't affect Talia.
In other words, as long as Batman has no interest in someone, or even secretly rejects him, it's okay for him to bathe in the Dionysus factor pool every day. Looking at it from another direction, this is also one of the few positive applications of the Joker Batman Law.
A black shadow flashed in front of Schiller's eyes, and a thin and pale hand with black nails reached Schiller's ear, and Schiller stood there without moving.
Facing Talia's cold eyes, Schiller said, "You are a smart person, Ms. Talia, you will not choose to fight with me here, because you just didn't realize how I appeared behind you and attacked you, you will not deal with such a target with completely unknown intelligence."
"Death Bell is right, you are difficult to deal with." Talia slowly withdrew her hand, twisted her hair that was wet by the pool water to one side, and said in a hoarse and sharp voice: "But I guess you won't care so much, Professor Rodriguez, I'm just pursuing your students."
"Although I think your definition of pursuit is too broad, I am not interested in your personal feelings. What are you doing at Gotham University?"
"Of course, to find Bruce Wayne." Talia gently wiped the water marks on her cheek with her fingers, and said, "You two are equally difficult to deal with, teacher and student. He has a very accurate grasp of my whereabouts and can always run away before I find him. If I can't get to where he wants to go before him, I will never catch up with him."
"I said I am right I'm not interested in your little game of chasing, but you rushed into the botany lab, destroyed a student's thesis material, and traumatized him mentally. "
"There are rumors that Bruce Wayne and Pamela Eisley from the botany department are very close. I want to try it out. If I get close to Pamela, will Bruce jump out to save the beauty?"
Schiller turned his head to look at Pamela behind him. Pamela sighed deeply and said, "Then Rant deserves it completely, because he was the one who spread the rumor. Just because he saw Bruce entering and leaving my lab before, he joked with other students that we don't have to worry about funding. As a result, they thought I really had something with Bruce."
Talia raised one eyebrow, she looked Pamela up and down, shook her head and said, "You are not the type he likes. Batman is not unique in aesthetics. He likes to seek excitement like all men."
The moment Pamela sneered, Talia turned around, the dagger flashed coldly, and a vine that was whipping towards her like a whip was cut off.
The next second, countless sturdy plant roots broke out of the ground. Talia quickly jumped several times with the help of the wall and hung on the ceiling above the wine pool. She fiddled with the dagger with her other hand and said, "I am not your enemy. All I need is Batman's genes. If he is really interested in you, we can cooperate. Give me what I want and I will give you a reward that will satisfy you."
Pamela hugged her arms, and the vines lifted her up and hung her in the air. She curled her lips and said, "That rich guy is really handsome, but I am not interested in men. Compensate for the loss of the Department of Botany, and then go back to where you came from!"
Talia smiled sweetly. Pamela only felt the wind coming from behind her head. The black nails pressed her cheeks, and the hot air from the red lips made her ears itchy: "Is going to bed with you considered compensation? Little girl, we can have fun first."
The vine whip swung back suddenly, and Talia flew back. Pamela raised her hand, and the vertical thorns with sharp thorns rolled towards Talia like a storm.
Schiller's figure gathered behind the wine pool. He looked at the two women fighting, sighed in his heart, and then said, "Stop fighting, or you two will both compensate for the loss of the cathedral."
Pamela stared at Talia's figure, but she knew she was at a disadvantage in this battle.
Although she could control plants freely, the woman opposite was obviously experienced. The longer the time dragged, the more the opponent could grasp her tactics and the easier it would be to gain an advantage. She had no combat experience and could not see the opponent's way clearly. She could either do large-scale destruction regardless of everything and achieve crushing, or she could only exchange injuries for injuries and beat the opponent to retreat.
Talia didn't want to fight either. She was not a violent maniac, but a female killer. Killers must be driven by interests to take action. Pamela was not her target, and the two had no conflict of interest. No matter how she fought, she would have a negative return.
What's more, there was Schiller standing in the distance. Talia couldn't figure out what Schiller meant by not taking action. It was the stupidest thing to rush and waste physical strength.
So she softened her attitude first and said, "I was looking for Batman for personal reasons. Breaking into Gotham University was just an accident, but the aggressive plants you researched also caused me a lot of trouble, so I had to come here to heal with the holy spring."
"This is not the holy spring." An old voice sounded at the door of the underground passage. The old priest came down and looked at Talia and said, "Are you the daughter of Lei Xiaogu?"
"You know my father." Talia frowned.
"I saved him." The old priest said.
"Impossible, he is..."
"He was greedy and hurt himself." The old priest looked into Talia's eyes fearlessly and said, "He gained eternal life in the Lazarus Pool, so he traveled around the world looking for more holy springs."
"He came to Gotham and found a wine pool very similar to the Lazarus Pool under Gotham. He thought it would give him more powerful power, so he jumped in."
"But Gotham has always been crazy. The wine seeped into his blood and almost made him lose his mind. If I hadn't changed his blood, he would never be able to leave Gotham."
Talia's heart was full of alarm bells. She looked at the three people standing in three directions and staring at her. She knew that today might not end well. In the end, she could only turn to the only person who could communicate with her rationally.
"Professor Schiller, I have no other intentions. I just hope Bruce Wayne can go with me. I will show him the truth of the world. I don't care about love. Even leaving offspring is just my father's will, but I need his help."
"I said I won't interfere in your private affairs. If he wants to leave with you, no one can stop him."
Talia took a deep breath and paid close attention to Schiller's every expression. Suddenly, she relaxed her body, looked at Schiller and smiled, and said, "I did cause some trouble at Gotham University. I am very sorry for this, Professor Rodriguez, but I also see "The Assassin's League has some friends all over the world. The New Jersey congressman has some cooperation with the pharmaceutical company owned by the Assassin's League. Maybe we can let them see the style of students from the Botany Department of Gotham University during the cooperation negotiation next year. What do you think?" Schiller withdrew his gaze from Talia, nodded and said, "I believe it will be a good social practice opportunity, so leave your email address for this lady." Talia flirted at Pamela, and Pamela reluctantly took out her mobile phone and threw it to Talia with the vines wrapped around it. Talia skillfully tapped the keyboard and entered a series of email addresses. When she threw the phone back to Pamela, she smiled and said, "I'm not lying to you if I'm looking for fun. I'll wait for your reply, Miss Ashley." After that, she nodded to the old priest and left from the passage without anyone chasing her. Pamela sighed in annoyance. She was mainly angry that she was teased, but when she thought about the trouble Bruce would be in next, she became happy again.
Pamela lowered her head and fiddled with her phone, as if she was about to send a message to Talia, but Schiller had already walked to Pamela's side.
"Where are we going next?" Pamela keenly noticed that Schiller was not going back to school, so she asked.
"To Arkham Asylum."
