Chapter 2237 Chapter 2248 Golden City Late Autumn (
"Dear citizens, welcome to today's Gotham Day. I am your old friend, Felida Lodaz, and I am David Boll."
"Before broadcasting today's news... Yes, we are going to relay the exciting news. At 7 o'clock tomorrow night, the opening ceremony of the Gotham Music Festival will be held grandly at the Gotham Center Plaza. This time we have invited various well-known musicians, and countless fans who love music have come here. The heavyweight guests present are..."
"Let us thank the Gotham City Government and Wayne Group for their strong support for this event, and sincerely thank the citizens for their cooperation. At 7 o'clock tomorrow night, Gotham Day will broadcast the grand occasion of the music festival for you on time. Please remember to watch..."
With a click, the TV was turned off.
Gotham's summer killer has been doing evil for a little longer than expected. The weather this year is particularly hot, and autumn did not come until October.
But late summer and early autumn are still the best time of the year. Just as the temperature has dropped, Gotham has become a brilliant golden city.
At the desk in Gotham University's office, Victor took his eyes off the newly yellowed ginkgo tree and picked up a paper placed next to Schiller's desk.
He was just casually glancing at it, but stopped when he saw the title. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Why is it social engineering? Have you finally given up on teaching them psychic skills?"
"It's psychoanalysis." Schiller, who was correcting homework, said without raising his head, "I'm also a professor at the School of Magic. This is much more difficult than teaching people psychic skills."
Victor opened his eyes slightly again, looking a little surprised. Schiller put a homework he had just corrected aside, looked at Victor and asked, "Where is Cobert? Is he in the laboratory?"
"No, tomorrow is the opening ceremony. Two hours ago, he was checking security tasks with James at the Gotham scenic area. What do you want to see him about?"
"Mrs. Li from the Government Affairs Office of Gotham University thinks we can give students a few days off so that they can have a good time at the music festival."
"So you want Cobert to tell her that the current situation is not suitable for giving college students a holiday?"
"Why do you think so?" Schiller's pen tip paused.
"You don't like students taking holidays." Victor said, "You think they have too many holidays, and they never finish their homework during the holidays."
"That's true, but it doesn't mean I don't like students taking holidays, because when they go home, I can also relax. This is the only leisure time I can enjoy besides the annual vacation."
"But if the holiday is too long, you will have to correct more homework." Victor looked down at the table and said, "Every time I see your students' homework, I am very fortunate that I have never missed an important decision in my life. I want to study humanities and social sciences."
"Then you are smart and lucky." Schiller changed the next paper and said, "You are not suitable for studying liberal arts."
Victor sighed helplessly and said, "So do you want them to take a holiday or not?"
Schiller paused, then gathered the papers on the table, tapped them on the table, aligned the four sides, and put them on the filing cabinet on the right, sat back in the chair, holding the two ends of the pen with both hands and said.
"You don't realize what a serious topic we are talking about."
"I'd like to hear more about it."
"After the security and weather conditions in Gotham improved, Gotham University's ranking rose and it has surpassed the University of California, San Diego, becoming the 61st in QS."
"At the same time, the football team has achieved the best results in history, and the cheerleading dance group has become more and more famous. The increase in the number of applicants has made the Academic Affairs Office decide to expand enrollment. In the school population statistics a month ago, we have 8,000 undergraduates and more than 16,000 masters and doctoral students."
Victor opened his eyes in shock and said, "It has surpassed Harvard University."
"But it is far from the University of California." Schiller shook his head slightly and said, "It seems that many people think that we can also open branches all over the United States like the University of California."
"Don't do that." Victor shuddered and said, "I can't imagine any school The name of Gotham University branch sounds like it has greatly increased the local crime rate. "
"That's why you are not suitable for studying humanities and social sciences."
"So what do you usually say?"
"If Gotham University opens a branch in the local area, they will have many outstanding alumni in law, finance, and journalism at the main campus, and dance with many talented and outstanding people in philosophy, literature, history, fine arts and various art majors, and also provide many employment directions for investigation, criminal psychology, and forensic medicine."
"I'm so glad I didn't study liberal arts."
"We also have a vocational and technical college with more than 1,000 students. The students here are younger, usually around 16 years old."
"So what does the number mean?"
"Now we have nearly 20,000 students. If we give them a holiday, it is obvious that no one will not join in the fun."
"Isn't this great?"
Schiller turned the pen in his hand and said, "Are you sure? 20,000 teenagers between the ages of 18 and 25 flocked to the same event site in one day. How many explosions, arson, water leaks, streaking, drug abuse and AIDS incidents do you think we will have to deal with later?"
Victor fell off the stool with a snap. He stood up tremblingly with both hands on the table and said, "I'll go find Cobert now."
"Don't rush." Schiller stopped him and said, "When you are afraid of this, many people think so too, except for those ignorant tourists."
Victor opened his mouth slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It makes sense. Once the gang leaders know that their children are going to participate in this event with their classmates, then Then they will definitely maintain public order spontaneously. "
"That's not what I mean." Schiller shook his head and said, "Even if we don't consider this, the gangs will not miss the opportunity to make money. They will not cause trouble. I mean those more unstable factors."
Victor understood, and he said, "That group of crazy people with abnormal brains?"
"They know the lethality of teenagers better than anyone else." Schiller replied, "This completely unprovoked chaos is also a deadly threat to them, so if they knew in advance that there were so many teenagers at the scene, they would probably not go."
"How to be sure?"
"I won't go."
Victor couldn't refute it, Schiller put the pen on the table and turned it gently and said, "It must be an unprecedented chaos, according to what I have seen from The crowd effect, they will be infected and become more crazy, and the moral boundaries will no longer exist. Although it is a good academic material, I can't find a good camera position to ensure that I can still observe patiently at that time. "
"You hate chaos."
"It's more like you like to observe chaos from the sidelines."
Victor spread his hands and said, "You can't have both. Either don't let them go, or give them a leave. But you always struggle with this kind of problem. It seems that you are here to seek my advice."
"This is my office."
"Although I'm not a great detective, you haven't seriously corrected even one assignment since I came in."
Victor leaned his arm on the table and looked at Schiller and said, "You feel a little upset."
"Who can communicate with spirits now?"
"I tend to "I prefer to let them have a holiday." Victor gave his advice bluntly, saying, "If you leave them in school, they will find ways to run away. Then you will be their only obstacle, and you will face more troubles than a whole music festival."
"What you can't get is always the best." Victor changed his hand to support his face and said, "The more you don't let them go, the more they think the music festival must be very interesting, but if you give them a holiday directly, maybe some people who hate noise will not go."
Schiller nodded and said, "But we still need to confirm with Cobert whether there is such reception capacity around the opening ceremony. Although they don't need long-term accommodation like tourists, if they can't book a hotel that night, the smell in the school the next morning will give you a big surprise."
Victor obviously thought of something, and said with difficulty, "I saw it when I was studying in New York. No homeless person dared to put his hand into the trash can on the second morning of the carnival."
"Unless someone pays them extra service fees. "
Both of them laughed quietly. Schiller looked at Victor and said, "Mrs. Freese is recovering well, right?"
Victor immediately realized what he was referring to, but he was unusually conservative and shy in this regard. He shook his head and said nothing, but Schiller said.
"Mrs. Freese's body age did not actually increase during the freezing process, and the organ condition was perfectly maintained in the state of youth, so..."
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Victor interrupted Schiller hurriedly and said, "We need to respect medicine, read the test reports more, and maintain nano neurons."
"You should study humanities and social sciences."
Victor muttered and tried to change the subject. Schiller sighed softly and said, "If you have a day off this afternoon, then come to my manor for dinner."
"What's the name?"
"Celebrate the graduation of my godson, Lex Luthor."
Victor was a little surprised. He said, "Lex graduated from college? Shouldn't he have graduated long ago? "
"He took a leave of absence to deal with the business of the Luther Group." Schiller recalled and said, "You should remember that he disappeared for a while a year ago."
"Wait, I mean, he is your godson?"
"To some extent, his father's death is related to me, which makes me bear some responsibility. Of course, there are some reasons, but they are not so important. Now it seems that it is."
"How are his grades?" Victor asked.
Victor continued to look at Schiller, and Schiller sighed slightly helplessly.
This surprised Victor. Schiller didn't even sigh at Bruce's achievements. What did Lex do?
Lex's residence in Gotham is a hillside manor in the rich area, less than two kilometers away from Wayne Manor, just halfway up the mountain south of Wayne Manor. Because it was a newly bought house and had not been repaired in time, it is not Luthor Manor yet.
But it is luxurious enough to make Clark look sideways frequently. He looks like, or he is, a bumpkin who just came to the city. Pulling his suitcase, he feels that eight eyes are not enough.
"So I will live in this place for a week?" Clark said in disbelief, admiring the exquisitely carved fence, the complex and gorgeous chandelier that makes people unable to open their eyes, and the Gothic windows with dozens of patterns that only appear on some churches in Europe.
"You can fly up and see." Lex reminded.
Clark slapped his forehead. He always forgot that he could fly, so he took off.
Lex's voice came from behind.
"…and wipe the dust off the windows."
