Chapter 2270: Late Autumn in Golden City (Thirty-Four)

Selina put down the phone helplessly and turned to look at Bruce who was lying on the back of the chair beside her.

"I don't understand. You didn't really get sunburned, and we are all ready. Why do you want to postpone the time to go to the party?"

Bruce snapped his fingers, closed his eyes and said, "I don't even need to see that Pamela must have gone to Rodriguez Manor in advance."

"So what?"

Bruce sighed deeply, looked up at Selina and said, "You can never imagine how crazy a woman who is lustful and obsessed with sex can be."

"You mean Little Pa?" Selina tilted her head in confusion and said, "I think you are too crazy about her. Some prejudice, just because she likes women? "

"That's definitely not prejudice, and she doesn't just like women, don't you notice? She has the typical characteristics of a psychopathic fan. "

Selena shuddered, looked around, rubbed her arms and said: "Psychopath, where is the psychopath?"

Bruce stood up and put his arm around Selena's waist. She had changed into a dress for the banquet, a champagne gold deep V diamond dress, which almost blended with her skin color, like a dim and bright sunset sea surface draped over her body.

Bruce put his chin on Selina's shoulder, leaned close to her neck and said, "Have you never felt that I am special?"

"Special? What's special? Is being pretentious special? Master."

Bruce laughed in a low voice, put his arm around Selina's waist and said, "Pamela has feelings for both of us... Don't worry, take your claws back and listen to me."

"She likes you... Of course, because of your beauty, because you just happen to be her type, beautiful and charming, mysterious and full of charm, completely her ideal type."

"But she is also interested in me, not entirely because of my appearance, she likes crazy people, especially highly intelligent, ruthless and charming crazy people."

"You said she likes you?" Selina turned her head slightly and looked at Bruce from the side.

"To be precise, she admires you, but has a morbid obsession with me."

Bruce licked his lips and said, "We met after she was cured. I found that she was a little too excited. I guess this may be the sudden outbreak of her previously suppressed desires, causing some problems in her mental state."

"But what does this have to do with our postponement of the banquet?"

"Does my description of the madman remind you of someone?"

"Who? ... Professor Schiller?"

"Yes, compared to him, I am a normal person, and Schiller has a very unique charm for psychopaths and psychopath fans. It can be called a strong magnet."

"As long as you have a little curiosity about him and a little interest in him, it will be difficult for you not to be attracted to him. Once you are hooked, you will have to pay a huge price. Usually Will bleed. "

"Will Pamela be attracted?"

"I'm afraid so." Bruce nodded, sighed and said: "The person who cured her was Schiller. I suspect that Schiller erased her memory of the treatment process just to make her curious about it. This is a bait that is almost impossible not to bite."

"From Pamela's performance, she must have taken the bait, so she must go to Rodriguez Manor in advance."

Selena said in surprise: "What does she want to do?"

"She should not be stupid enough to attack Professor Schiller, but it is hard to say whether she will do something else. In this state of excitement and madness, she will at least take some irrational words to provoke."

"Why?"

"To gain the attention of psychopaths and put herself in a victim state."

"What's the point of this?"

"It doesn't make sense." Bruce shook his head.

Selena narrowed her eyes and said, "Is it meaningless, or you can't tell? This should be related to Pamela's personality and character, right? Where have you learned psychology?"

"Let's not talk about this. Anyway, I won't charge into the front line. You know, the organizer of this party is not the familiar Professor Schiller. So far, no one knows how many tricks the pathological Schiller has. I don't want to offend him."

Pamela was still staring at Schiller's master bedroom.

Lex looked down at his watch and said, "The party will start in an hour. Cobert will be in the lobby in half an hour. I estimate that his car will arrive in 20 minutes."

His original intention was to remind Pamela that the guests were coming soon. Even if she wanted to make trouble, she shouldn't choose this time.

But Pamela seemed to ignore it. She gently raised one hand, and a thin vine climbed up along the outer wall of the manor and came to the balcony of the master bedroom.

Lex was too lazy to stop her. If anything happened, she would be the one to anger Schiller. As a bystander, he might be able to get more useful information.

The vines continued to extend forward along the bottom frame of the balcony door, but they still did not raise their heads, just circling around the door frame like a greedy snake.

"That cold power is very strong." Pamela sniffed and said, "I feel that the vines are about to be frozen by it. She must have lost a lot of blood."

"Is she very powerful?"

"Maybe." Pamela frowned slightly and said, "I firmly believe that beauty, straightforwardness and passion alone cannot attract Schiller, because there are too many people like this around him. She must be special."

"Do you think her specialness is power?"

"At least there is this reason... Schiller is sorting clothes."

"Do you feel like a voyeur?"

"Do you think he won't find me?"

Lex was bothered by Pamela Speechless, he shook his head and said, "I think you should calm down now. Don't you think you are too excited?"

Pamela licked her lips and said, "I am just releasing my nature. If you set rules and bottom lines for every game, it will be boring."

"But I must remind you." Lex lowered his eyes, his tone became more cautious and said, "My previous speculation about Schiller's past was not groundless. Again, the romantic past he had with those straightforward and passionate ladies you mentioned was probably very different from what you think."

"Do you think he has special Hobbies? Coincidentally, I do too. "

"I don't think it can be called a special hobby." Lex's Adam's apple rolled up and down and said, "I saw some dangerous factors behind his human skin that are very easy to get out of control."

"As I told you before, people like Clark Kent, even if he can control everything well when he is awake, there are always various situations that will make him lose control."

"But Schiller is a human being."

"Yes, but he is not an ordinary human being."

Pamela laughed, she turned and stared at Lex with shining eyes and said, "It's just that you never put him As an ordinary person, the past and present he showed you were always full of metaphorical extraordinary things, which made you afraid and cautious, but usually this attitude only occurred when dealing with dangerous beasts. "

"And I just regarded him as an ordinary human being. I am interested in him, want to explore his secrets, get feedback from him, and even use him to satisfy my own desires. Is there anything unreasonable about this? Isn't it the same for ordinary people?"

"And most importantly, which of these two attitudes do you think he would be more annoyed with?"

Lex was stunned.

He had thought before that if he really regarded Schiller as an ordinary person, would their way of getting along become different? After confirming this plan, he thought he would always stick to it.

But now he found that this was actually very difficult, because Schiller's oppression was too strong, and the dangerous characteristics revealed in him constantly forced Lex to start the defense mode.

So everything went back to the cycle again. Being attracted to danger but afraid of it, one can only tense up and be cautious, but this is not the way to treat another ordinary person with the attitude of an ordinary person. People are always more accustomed to relaxing in front of people they are familiar with.

The same is true when Lex expresses his nervous emotions to Schiller. He believes that showing some weakness in emotional expression is an opportunity to comfort the other party, which can make their emotional exchange process more normal.

But in fact, this is all his design, not his real feelings. It is too difficult to completely relax in front of Schiller.

Damn, how did Bruce Wayne manage to sleep for half a day in Schiller's class?

And how did Pamela dare to rush forward fearlessly even though she knew that the other party was so dangerous?

From a behavioral perspective, their behavior is normal, and he is like a madman with paranoid delusions, but no matter how Lex's reason and intuition judge, he will think they are crazy.

Schiller walked out from the balcony.

When he looked down while holding the balcony railing, Lex's whole body tensed up, but the vine that had been lingering on the balcony door frame quietly wrapped around Schiller's ankle.

"Ladies and gentlemen, go and confirm your clothes. Lex will go back to the room and wait. Pamela will go to the hallway."

The vines were retracted in a flash. Pamela obviously got the answer she wanted. Lex still frowned. Shouldn't he be the protagonist today?

But after Schiller finished speaking, he returned to his bedroom. Pamela walked towards the front hall, and Lex had to follow her back to the room to wait.

Cobert arrived soon.

He was in high spirits when he got out of the car and walked towards Rodriguez Manor. He first walked towards Alberto's room, and then knocked on the door of Lex's room after coming out.

"Good evening, Mr. Cobert. You came a little earlier than I thought." Lex nodded to Cobert.

Cobert smiled. Although his hooked nose made him look a little gloomy when he didn't make any expression, as the saying goes, redness nourishes people. When he smiled, he didn't reveal his humble and flattering temperament as before, but instead showed a bit of sincerity.

"The first group of guests from other universes have arrived at the Wayne Hotel. They will be here soon, but I'm afraid you have to wait in the room until all the guests are here, and then Professor Rodriguez will introduce them to everyone."

"I understand." Lex nodded and said, "Will the guests from other universes be the first to arrive?"

"That depends on whether they have anticipated the traffic conditions in Gotham, but it won't be much different."

"Tony Stark, how long will it take you to pack up?!!!" Natasha's roar echoed in the corridor of the Wayne Hotel, followed by the sound of banging on the door, "How many times have I told you that this city called Gotham is more congested than New York. If we don't leave early, we will probably be late!!!"

"Stop yelling!" Stark's impatient but somewhat guilty voice came from the door. He said, "There is something wrong with my micro-B-ultrasound machine. Give me another ten minutes! I must make sure that traveling through the universe has no effect on the tumor in Pepper's body!"
