Chapter 645 A Wonderful Night on the West Coast (Part 1)
Some people must remember that before, Bruce went to Metropolis to investigate serial murders, and Clark took his place and began to maintain Gotham's law and order.
Clark was confused by the complicated gang relationships, but he was a natural nemesis of those super villains.
Gangs often fight for interests, and it is difficult to say who is right or wrong. They fight for territory to make money, and make money to live better. If Clark wants to cut off this chain of interests, he has to rebuild the entire Gotham, and he doesn't have this ability.
However, most super villains just want to see the world burn. It doesn't involve interests and survival. Clark can easily judge who is right and who is wrong. To deal with such people, don't listen to the cuckold's chanting, just go up and beat them up.
During the time when Clark was maintaining law and order, almost all the super villains were beaten by him. The Joker came out to make a fuss, but after finding out that Clark was such a boring person, he went to Arkham Asylum for hospitalization. Scarecrow Jonathan, who had escaped from Arkham Asylum before, also showed up to find a sense of existence. He is still lying in the hospital.
During his time in Gotham, he got acquainted with Batman's two children, especially Elsa. Clark liked this cute little girl very much.
Perhaps the aesthetics of Kryptonians are inherently different from those of humans. Clark didn't think there was anything wrong with Elsa and smoothly accepted Alfred's explanation of heterochromia.
Moreover, he is much better at taking care of children than Bruce. Whether it is playing ball with Dick or flying a plane with Elsa, he is very good at it. Elsa and Dick also like him very much.
After Batman came back, Clark naturally didn't have to maintain law and order anymore. However, after Bruce came to the deserted island because he was too worried about the crash of the Batfighter, Elsa kept clamoring to find her father.
Clark heard her call, saw Alfred's encouraging eyes, and the prepared Batcopter, so he simply carried the plane to the deserted island.
Holding Aisha, Bruce looked at Clark with a questioning look, and asked: "How did you find this island?"
"It's simple, I flew around the earth a few more times."
"How many more times?"
"I flew along every latitude line, saw you on the island, went back to Gotham, took the plane and Aisha, and flew here." Clark shrugged, not realizing how shocking his words were.
Hal covered his eyes. It turned out that Clark used the exhaustive method, but in a sense, it was even more shocking.
With Clark's arrival, Schiller's wilderness survival journey was completely ruined. It is difficult for a Kryptonian to understand what survival is. It is really difficult for this race to put itself in trouble.
Clark kicked the tall trees and they fell down. After cutting them with heat rays, they became neatly stacked wooden boards. He waved his hand and the wooden boards moved by themselves. Then they danced hand in hand with enthusiasm and walked to the destination of the wood stacking.
Bruce pointed at the rock wall, and Clark's eyes lit up. After the heat ray plowed over, even the smelting step was saved. What appeared directly was a block of iron. Bruce drew the blueprint, and Clark picked up a piece of iron and pinched it. The finished product was as accurate as a machine tool.
All the parts were lined up and assembled together. After a while, the original car was freshly baked. After Arthur caught a full bucket of fish, the parts of the boat that Schiller required had been assembled.
When the boat was officially launched, Arthur and Oliver were numb with shock. They felt that the world must be crazy to let them see a magical creature with rays in its eyes, infinite power, and flying.
After the boat was built, the group was divided into two groups. Schiller still had some time left in his annual leave, so he did not plan to return directly to Gotham. Instead, he planned to take a boat northward, return to California, go around the West Coast, and then go to the East Coast.
Clark had to go back to school, so he rushed back to Metropolis, and Batman knew that he might not be able to handle Elsa's vigorous energy alone, so he was eager to return to Gotham to find Catwoman and Alfred for help.
The two of them boarded the Batfighter directly and returned to the East Coast in a hurry, while the rest of the group boarded the boat they had built and rushed to California by sea.
Not surprisingly, Schiller got seasick again. Hal stood on the deck and fished with Arthur. He looked back in the direction of the guest room, shook his head and said, "I don't know what he was thinking. He knew he would get seasick, but he still took the boat back."
"I've seen many people like this. It's nothing special." Arthur said with a fishing rod in his hand, "Because the holiday time is too precious for them, they want to try all the entertainment projects, even if they will start to feel nauseous and vomit as soon as they step on the fishing boat, they still have to force themselves to experience the entertainment projects."
"Fishing is just a job for me, but it is a very novel entertainment project for them. However, if I were to work in an office, I might also find it very novel." Arthur shrugged and said.
"You've said the true meaning of travel. The life we envy and yearn for is just the daily life of other people. Maybe they've long been bored." Hal began to reel in the fishing rod. Seeing how straight the fishing line was, it should be a big fish this time.
Arthur also looked back at the cabin and said, "He should be fine, right? It looks like..."
"Don't worry, even if he really has something wrong, he can just fly back by himself. By the way, where's Oliver? Is he still resting?" Hal asked.
"Don't mention it. He's also seasick. He should be resting in another room now." Arthur replied.
Both of them sighed and shook their heads, but at the same time, they were secretly happy because they were not seasick at all.
Schiller knew that he was seasick, but he still chose to take the boat back. Of course, it was not for self-torture. He wanted to figure out why he was seasick.
This could not be a coincidence. With the symbiont, the possibility of any disease that might affect the body in this world is zero, because the symbiont can perfectly regulate every cell of the host.
There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that the symbiont is not adjusted properly, and a certain organ is not controlled, resulting in adverse reactions. The second is that this feeling may not act on the body.
Schiller lay flat on the bed in the guest room, closed his eyes, and let the gray fog adjust his physical state to test which organ caused him to be seasick.
Gray fog tested for a long time, but did not find any abnormalities. Schiller's body was very healthy, and the organs responsible for body balance were working normally under his control, and would not bring Schiller discomfort.
Schiller himself knew that although Gray Fog was addicted to alcohol, liked to repeat, and occasionally got startled, he was very trustworthy when doing serious work. If he said that there was no problem with the body organs, then there should be no problem.
In other words, there was only one possibility left, that this feeling was not at the physiological level, but at the psychological level.
But even if he could not enter the Palace of Thinking, Schiller could rely on his professional knowledge to eliminate most of the negative psychological states. At least in a short period of time, he could make himself calm and normal in his psychological state, and would not produce negative states such as sea phobia, height phobia or claustrophobia.
Schiller, lying flat, adjusted his breathing and began to hypnotize himself. He did all this very skillfully, but the dizziness did not ease.
Finding that this might not work, Schiller changed his mind. He turned into gray mist directly, and then found that even in the gray mist state, he would get seasick.
Then, Schiller, who had turned into gray mist, flew to the bottom of the ship and began to forcibly drag the ship, making the shaking of the hull completely disappear.
Generally speaking, seasickness is caused by the shaking of the hull. Even if Schiller's organs will not feel uncomfortable due to the shaking, the psychological suggestion may still work. But if the ship is sailing on the sea, just like sailing on the ice, there will be no shaking at all, then this psychological suggestion should completely disappear.
Then Schiller found that this had no effect at all, and he was still seasick.
This made him start to think, is this state really seasickness? Is it really some kind of physiological reaction that humans can understand?
At this time, where the ship passed, several islands could be seen within sight, not far from the fishing boat, so Schiller could directly turn into gray mist and float over.
When he floated to the beach on the island, that is, the moment he was out of the sea, the abnormal reaction disappeared directly.
Even if Schiller was not a professional surgeon, he knew that the abnormal reactions produced by the human body and mind could not disappear instantly. Generally, there is a slow recovery process, and seasickness is no exception.
It is impossible for seasick passengers to feel refreshed immediately when the ship arrives at the dock and they step on the ground. They will feel uncomfortable for at least several hours, and may have to lie in the hotel for a whole day before they can get better.
But Schiller confirmed several times over and over that as long as he was on the sea, he would feel dizzy, and as long as he stepped on land, this feeling would disappear immediately.
While thinking, Schiller returned to the ship. Seeing his figure, Arthur and Hal, who were eating, waved. Schiller walked to the dining table on the deck and sat down, a little absent-minded.
He was just thinking about what was going on, but Hal and Arthur thought he was seasick, so Arthur took the initiative to say, "Let's go to a place with a relatively gentle current and drive faster, so that we can reach our destination faster."
Although Hal said not to worry about Schiller, he frowned when he saw Schiller's absent-minded look and said, "Are you sure you're okay? I've never seen you in such a bad state."
"I'm just thinking about why I get seasick." Schiller picked up the sandwich on the table and said after taking a bite.
"There is no reason for this. Some people get seasick because they hate the smell of sea water, some people get seasick because they can't stand the shaking, and some people have no reason, they are just born seasick." Arthur also took a bite of the tuna sandwich and said.
"I blocked my sense of smell and vision, and tried to stop the boat from shaking so much. I even gave it repeated psychological hints, but I still couldn't get rid of this feeling. I think it may not affect the body, but the soul." Schiller pointed to his temple and said.
"Can seasickness be related to the soul?" Hal picked up a piece of vegetable leaf from the salad, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and then said, "I think you have been with that bastard Constantine for too long, and you attribute everything to the soul."
Speaking of Constantine, Schiller had some ideas. He touched his chin and said to Arthur, "Where is our first stop? Coast City?"
"Yes, according to the route we set before, we will go to Coast City, Star City, then cross Kansas, go to Fortress City and Central City, and then go back to Gotham..."
"No, change the route, we will go to Los Angeles."
