Chapter 3035: The Green Trees Are Thick and the Summer Is Long (Forty-Three)
Chapter 3009 The green trees are dense and the summer is long (forty-three)
Cobot was a little surprised by Schiller's current form, but not that surprised. He had an unexpected but reasonable feeling. He said: "I think each of us represents an animal. That is us. In another form in nature, if I were to tell you what kind of animal it would be, it would be a snake."
Pamela nodded vigorously beside her.
Schiller sighed and said: "I think you have a deep misunderstanding of me, and I don't think it is necessary to represent it in such an intuitive way. It feels really uncomfortable to have no limbs."
"But you use your tail very well." Pamela gave him a thumbs up.
Then they finally started to get down to business. Pamela said that she could learn alchemy by herself, and then try to extract the effective substances from snowdrops, so as to try to cure Alzheimer's disease through magical means.
But she had no way to guarantee the success rate. She could only say that she had some hope and could give it a try.
And the extract of snowdrops may also be used to deal with the witch Circe, thereby breaking the curse on Schiller.
Although Pamela also has the ability to induce the growth of snowdrops, she feels that in order to ensure the effectiveness of the medicine, it is best to use wild species, and it is best to go to the oldest origin of this plant and find the native species that have evolved along the way. This has special significance in occultism.
Zatanna volunteered, but this plant is not distributed in the United States. Its native place is in Europe, but there are also some populations in Asia. Zatanna decided to go to Europe to collect it.
It will take some time to collect and extract the ingredients of this drug, and during this time Schiller needs to figure out how Edgar and Circe controlled the three people to commit the crime, and how involved they were in the whole process.
The problem now is that Schiller needs a means of transportation, otherwise he will not be able to find anything next year if he moves step by step with his current snake body.
Zatanna and Pamela were busy with Snowdrops, Copperpot had to stay to take care of his mother, Brand couldn't do anything but smile, and finally Schiller called Helen.
This is not because he is partial to Helen, but mainly because he called Elsa over. He was worried that Elsa would give him a bite first. His current small body could not bear Elsa's sharp teeth, and Helen still had to be more civilized.
But when she saw Schiller's current form, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Don't ever tell me you're afraid of snakes."
"I'm not afraid of snakes...but how did you become like this? Professor, do you want to poison your students' cups with snake venom?"
"Why do you all suspect that I want to poison my students?"
“The argument for high emotional intelligence is because they’re worth it.”
"What about low emotional intelligence?"
"That's the kind of professor you seem to be."
Helen let Schiller wrap it around her arm. She adjusted her body temperature and led Schiller outside the lunatic asylum.
"The cooling device I modified last time should be pretty good, right?" Helen asked.
"Yes, the effect was very good. Nygma had completely lost his vital signs when he was carried to the police station, and the forensic doctor found no flaws."
"Yes, I learned a skill from Loki. He is a frost giant after all, and he is an expert among experts in this regard. However, I am not sure about this thing for the first time. It just needs to be easy to use."
"This is definitely an outstanding scientific research achievement, Helen. You know how strict I am in this aspect, but I still think you can put it on your future resume."
"Why? I don't think this is a particularly big achievement."
"You don't understand. The Gotham Police Department has gathered the best forensic doctors in the entire United States and even the world, because the case library here is so rich and unique. The forensic doctor who can grab the opportunity to join the Gotham Police Department is The pinnacle of the entire forensic pyramid.”
Schiller paused and then continued: "In other words, being able to create a device that prevents them from discovering flaws is enough for you to brag about, and your father will be proud of you."
Helen laughed and said, "That's great. Pepper has been worried for I don't know how long. He feels that the name Tony Stark puts too much pressure on me and makes me look not good enough no matter how I write my resume."
Then Schiller began to discuss the child abuse case with Helen. Helen believed that magic only played a supporting role in this case. The main reason was that the three idiots had evil intentions. If they were not pedophiles and sadists, then Two idiots with evil intentions will not come to them.
Schiller agreed with him, but he still said: "They don't really use magic very often, but it must be very crucial. I guess those witnesses with mental problems should have been influenced by Edgar." interference.”
"It's really troublesome to read minds." Helen also frowned and said, "If I have any weakness, it's probably my psychic ability. My offensive and defensive abilities in this area are very weak. Even if you don’t pay attention, you won’t even know it’s being read.”
"Why is this? Can't you evolve infinitely?"
"Yes, but there must be pressure, which means I must have to deal with such enemies before I can evolve the corresponding abilities."
"Then you haven't gone to see Charles?"
"This is the key." Helen sighed helplessly and said, "Professor Charles is unwilling to attack me. He said it was too inhumane. I don't know why, even though he has seen my true form, he still thinks I am a little girl."
"Charles is like this." Schiller said, "Don't complain about his high moral standards, but the righteous cannot correct the wrongs, and the consequences of his loss of control are very terrible."
"So where are we going now?" Helen asked, "You said you have controlled Williams and Bob for more than ten hours. Do you want to find a way to lure them out of their hole?"
"I'm just a little worried that they might give up these chess pieces and look for new ones... Maybe my appearance will make them more vigilant and make other choices. In short, let's go to Williams first. Maybe they will find a way to save people."
Schiller and Helen talked about their plans. In fact, it was very simple. After discovering that Williams and the other two were just small fish on the stage, they naturally had to find a way to use these small fish to catch bigger fish.
Although it is now known that the people behind the scenes are likely to be magicians and people with super powers, these two people are very vigilant and cunning. Once they sense something wrong, they can immediately flee thousands of miles away and never appear again.
But these are two time bombs after all. As long as they are still staring at something in Gotham, they will definitely come back and harass repeatedly, committing bad crimes like child molestation again and again. More importantly, they will surround Schiller like flies, making him restless.
So you must wait patiently, and then hit them with one shot, without giving them any chance to escape or counterattack.
Schiller felt that although he was cursed now, his appearance was not a loss.
If he did not appear, then Circe and Edgar would have chosen to give up these three pawns later, because as Edgar said, these three people actually did not know their existence. Edgar modified their thinking and made them think that this was a crime they committed themselves.
In this case, they did not need to go to the trouble of silencing or saving the hostages. If they gave up these three people, they could find three more. There were not many other things in Gotham, but there were many bad people.
However, Schiller's sudden appearance is likely to disrupt their subsequent plans, causing them to focus all their attention on the mysterious attacker, and they have no way to decisively cut off the tail of the gecko. When masters fight, a second late is fatal.
Schiller planned to take advantage of them to find a way to force them to reveal their flaws while they were tracking him, and the two unlucky guys he caught would naturally be used. If they use magic, don't blame him for not being martial.
Schiller gradually perfected his plan in his mind, but about half an hour later, he appeared in the hospital.
Schiller opened his eyes and saw a huge crocodile head. Killer Croc leaned in front of the bed, looking at Helen, pointing at Schiller and said: "You said this is Professor Schiller? Don't tell me that he has some atavistic blood..."
"He is not atavistic, but just cursed by magic, but this curse is too strong, and it really turned his life form into a cold-blooded animal." Helen shrugged and said.
Yes, this is why Schiller appeared in the hospital.
Like Killer Croc, which snake can be a detective in 40-degree weather?
Although some people must have seen crocodiles or snakes lying in the sun lazily in various animal documentaries, they think that cold-blooded animals must be more afraid of cold, because once the temperature is too low, they will hibernate.
But in fact, except for some desert species, cold-blooded animals are also very afraid of heat, and most cannot withstand temperatures above 45 degrees Celsius. Now the ground temperature in Gotham is almost close to 50 degrees.
Normal people will not go out in such a temperature, but you say it's a coincidence that the means of transportation chosen by Schiller is not a normal person, she is Doomsday.
Although Helen can feel the heat, she complains, and no matter how high the temperature is, it can't affect her free movement. She thinks Schiller's matter is very urgent, so she doesn't care whether it's hot or not, and runs all the way with Schiller.
Ordinary humans would die a long time ago if they do such intense exercise in such weather, so they have to use tools, either drive a car or take public transportation.
But Helen was so strong that she didn't need any tools at all. She just ran to her destination.
She was fine. Schiller, who turned into a snake, couldn't stand the high temperature and sun exposure for such a long time. When Helen ran to the place, Schiller Snake had fainted from the heat.
So he happily got the bed next to Killer Croc.
This was not a coincidence, but the Gotham hospital had a special department to treat such special patients, which was subdivided into many departments. Schiller Snake and Killer Croc both belonged to the reptile department and both had heatstroke, so they were naturally assigned to the same ward.
Shortly after waking up, Schiller heard the nurse's footsteps. He immediately became nervous. Sure enough, the nurse came in, knocked on the railing beside the bed and said, "You know you have anti-ancestral blood, but you still go out in such a hot day. Are you afraid that the hospital is overstaffed?"
"You hibernated in the winter, and your family thought you were dead. It's okay to keep sending you to our place, but you still occupy beds in the summer. If this continues, we will sooner or later change this place into a veterinary hospital!"
"Where's the unlucky new guy? Let me see the infusion... God! Isn't your atavism a bit too much... Schiller Rodriguez?! Professor Schiller?!"
Schiller has never hated being so famous.
