Chapter 2423: Battle for the Cloak (10)

Chapter 2454: The Battle for the Cape (Ten)

Poison Ivy changed her position, adjusted her posture on the chair, looked at Schiller and asked: Where are we going next? "

"Of course, we are going to prepare a grand welcome ceremony for King Robin."

"You want to go in person?"

"Of course not, not only can't you go in person, but you have to hide as much as possible and leave only a little clue."

Poison Ivy was even more confused. She felt that the professor in front of her was contradictory in his words and deeds, but considering that she and he were now on the same boat, she had to ask: "Since you have to hide as much as possible, why leave clues?"

"Of course it's to let him find me. Have you forgotten my ultimate goal?"

"Then why don't you just appear in front of him? "

Schiller sighed. Poison Ivy really didn't know how he could sigh with one part disgust, two parts sorrow, three parts helplessness, and four parts patience.

"He came to Gotham with excitement, but found that the citizens who should have been killed by him were now lying on the ground like corpses. At this moment, I, who made him completely lose all fun, appeared in front of him. What do you think he would do? "

"Of course he wanted to kill you."

"And do you expect me to fight him?"

"But you can't beat him." Poison Ivy spread her hands and said, "Although I don't know what the mist you just turned into is, it looks very powerful. I don't think he is your opponent."

"I usually don't take this approach." Schiller shook his head and said, "First of all, this guy's origin and details are unclear. Maybe I can kill him, but I may not be able to catch him completely. "This guy is just a small soldier. The real mastermind sent him here not only to vent his anger, but also to explore the way. I don't want him to know that I am here. More importantly, I don't want him to know what I am capable of." Poison Ivy frowned, but finally agreed with this statement and said, "It is true that when the real culprit behind the scenes has not shown up, it is better to reveal as little information as possible, otherwise, if you give up all your cards at this time, you will have no cards to play later." "So I will set up a trap and let him come to me." Schiller tapped the armrest of the seat lightly and said, "Provoke him first, then leave him some clues. When he follows the clues and finds me here, the anger accumulated before and the joy of the upcoming victory will overwhelm his mind, making it easier for him to relax his vigilance." "Will you set a trap there?" "No, I am the trap itself. "Schiller said: "From the show he performed on TV, he is not a cold-blooded killer who goes straight to the target. Destruction is not his goal, but a process he enjoys. He needs his evil journey to be full of ups and downs, and he needs others to pay attention to him. The eyes of others are the poison that makes him addicted. "

"But ordinary people are boring. He needs a strong opponent to watch everything he does, play games with him, let him win, and gain a sense of accomplishment and recognition. As long as you grasp his mentality, there is nothing difficult to deal with. "

Poison Ivy opened her mouth, hesitated to speak, and finally turned the steering wheel, and then said: "I heard this argument from a madman."

"Batman?"

"Although Batman is also crazy, don't you think there is someone crazier? ... Wait, why is your first reaction Batman?"

Schiller coughed twice and didn't speak.

"I'm talking about the Joker. This is what Harley Quinn said about him. The Joker's desire for Batman's attention is his biggest weakness. "

"Hit the nail on the head. "

"Robin King is both Batman and Joker." Schiller said: "It seems that this is a good thing. He combines Batman's wisdom and Joker's unscrupulous means, which will make him stronger, but in fact he has a fatal weakness, that is, he has no playmates."

"Because of the existence of the Joker, Batman can show his nature of the Dark Knight's adherence to the bottom line. Because of the existence of Batman, the Joker's shocking evil deeds can be observed and judged. They influence each other's existence value. "

"But if they merge into one, this mutual confirmation will no longer exist. He will become painful and empty, and he can't find the meaning of life. This is why he came to this universe Batman. He wants to know how the other party got rid of such a predicament. "

"It does sound a bit reasonable." Poison Ivy hesitated and said: "Is this your inference? Or just a guess. "

"This is the result of my analysis." Schiller said: "What seems very mysterious to you is like a mathematical formula that can be traced to me. It is not a secret. "

"It seems that you are also a talented lunatic. ”

“Thank you for the compliment, ma’am, but I need a little more practical help than a compliment.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Go to Arkham Asylum. I need to talk to my old friends.”

“What do you want to talk to them about?”

“You’ll know when you get there.”

The car quickly drove to Arkham Asylum, and Poison Ivy and Schiller got out of the car. Poison Ivy noticed that Schiller took off his glasses before getting out of the car.

When Schiller was wearing glasses, Poison Ivy didn't pay attention to his eyes. Now she was curious about this action and unconsciously glanced at Schiller's eyes, but found that the gray eyes were desolate and scattered, as if he couldn't see anything.

"What's wrong with you, professor?"

"It's okay." Schiller turned his head and smiled at Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy was stunned. This smile was very gentle, and she didn't look like the serious professor before. What happened?

Poison Ivy felt that something was wrong, but she only had a vague feeling and couldn't tell the specific reason. But now she was in a bad condition. All her energy was focused on recovering her strength. She had to hold an umbrella, for fear that the plants next to her would attack her, so she didn't bother to ask.

After the two entered, Schiller went to find Scarecrow first. Of course, since the last time Scarecrow planned the fear gas and terrorist attacks, Batman of the Arkham Universe locked him up in the most secure cell. However, after the final trial, Scarecrow still escaped because of his mental illness.

However, Bruce Wayne, who became president, is not so easy to deal with. Anyway, his identity has been made public. No one will say anything if he takes some of the methods that Wayne would take against these criminals.

The appearance of Arkham Asylum has not been renovated, but the inside is very different. All the ward equipment has been replaced with the most advanced, and even the security is all performed by cold machines. This has also led to the fact that no criminal has successfully escaped from prison so far.

This provides Schiller with great convenience, because he can gather most of the Gotham villains at once without having to go to their nests one by one.

Goodbye Scarecrow, Poison Ivy still has a nose that is not a nose and eyes that are not eyes. Of course, she still hates this damn psychopath, who made her run around with Peter Parker, the little lunatic, all night, and finally ended up in a bad way.

"Go in by yourself." Poison Ivy leaned against the wall with a little disgust and said, "It's not that I won't help you. If you want to talk to him, I will only ruin the atmosphere of the negotiation."

Schiller walked in without saying anything - of course he got a pass as soon as he entered here, and it was the one with the highest security level, and Poison Ivy was no longer surprised by this.

Schiller and Scarecrow talked for an unexpectedly short time, and the two walked out of the cell together. Scarecrow didn't even attack them and escape as soon as he came out. Instead, he shook hands with Schiller and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Professor. I think this will be a wonderful performance."

"Of course, Dr. Jonathan, see you later."

Poison Ivy looked at Scarecrow's back with some surprise, then turned her eyes to Schiller and said, "What did you talk about with him?"

"Something that we both have common interests in."

"For example?"

"Art, and Batman." Schiller said, "Do you like watching dramas? Do you have any favorite plays?"

"I've seen some Shakespeare, but I haven't seen all of them." As she walked upstairs, Poison Ivy chatted casually, "There are some in all its tragedies and comedies. I'm impatient with the plot, I will fall asleep when I see that part, every time, so I never know what the full plot is. "

"Maybe this is also a way of watching." Schiller said: "It is also a unique interest to test whether I can persist next time."

"I feel more and more that you are strange, you seem to have changed." Poison Ivy said: "Your speaking style is completely different from before, it doesn't look like your mood suddenly gets better, and then your speech becomes gentle. I thought you would at least bring this topic to the students who sleep in your class."

"Relax, I sleep in class too." Schiller shrugged and said: "As long as I can pass the exam, no matter what method is used."

Poison Ivy always felt that he had a hint, but this was very ordinary, like what everyone who has been to college can say, there is really nothing wrong with it.

Then Schiller went to the wards of Mr. Freeze, Professor Pigface, Clayface and other criminals. What surprised Poison Ivy was that Schiller had a good chat with them. Even when these criminals were bored and irritable due to the strict security measures, he could comfort them well and even let them say goodbye politely after they came out.

"What kind of magic potion did you give them?" Poison Ivy looked at Bane's figure who left last, puzzled. She knew that this big man had no feelings at all. What kind of promise could move him?

Schiller shook his head, and his tone was gentler than what Poison Ivy had heard before.

"If they were people who cared about their interests, they would not appear here. After all, who would benefit from being in jail?"

"Then how did you convince them?"

"It's still the same answer. How did they appear here?"

"This is a no-brainer." Poison Ivy answered instinctively, "Of course Batman caught them."

"Why did Batman catch them?"

"Of course it's because they committed crimes."

"Why did they commit crimes?"

"That's hard to say." Poison Ivy turned her eyes aside and said, "Because they are crazy."

Schiller shook his head again and said, "I think people often say you are crazy, do you think you are?"

"Of course I'm not."

"If the murderer who contaminated these plants now appears in front of you, what will you do?"

"I will chop him up and feed him to the flowers."

Schiller stared at Poison Ivy, who turned his eyes away.

"All the criminals here are like this. They have what they want, but their crazy logic is incomprehensible to ordinary people, so their crazy behavior is illogical in people's eyes, and they are called crazy."

"But in fact, it is not the case." Schiller said: "They have their own desires and the means to realize their desires. They need help on the way to realize their desires. If someone can see their desires and is willing to help them, they will naturally be willing to cooperate."

"Just say it directly." Poison Ivy pressed her temple and said: "Don't beat around the bush, I have a headache."

"Do you think they really want Batman to die?"

"Probably, after all, it was Batman who locked them up here."

"On the contrary, it is because Batman has used so many means to severely imprison them. They will never let Batman die in the hands of others if they are locked up here tightly. "

Poison Ivy seemed to understand a little bit, she said: "If the madman who polluted the plants appeared in front of me, and someone else wanted to kill him, I would definitely kill that person first, because only I am qualified to judge him, and only I can avenge him on behalf of the plants."

"That's right, ma'am, and if the person who killed Batman still brazenly said that he wanted to ascend the throne of Gotham, and I just happened to have a wonderful welcome drama that required each of them to play an important role in it, turning this revenge into a performance presented to Batman, what do you think they would do?"

Poison Ivy stared at Schiller's eyes, she suddenly found that when Schiller's brows drooped, his eyes became more gentle, elegant, and slightly melancholy.

If Poison Ivy had to describe this temperament, she would say that he looked like an artist with compassion for the world.
