Chapter 765: The Consequences of Cheating on the Paper (Part 1)

The dusk time around five or six in the afternoon is the best time for Gotham, and you can occasionally see the sunset on the sea.

The afterglow of the sunset can penetrate the layers of rain clouds and shine into this dark city, so it is inaccurate to call it the City of Night. It is more like a city of dusk.

At sunset, the moment of the devil, the light of the sunset always covers everything it shines on with a layer of mysterious and dreamy gauze. The white paper turns into a beautiful golden color under the light, and even the black text on it becomes shiny.

Although the appearance of the text has become very beautiful, it does not affect the content at all. Schiller is holding a stack of papers in his hand, frowning.

Victor, who was walking behind him with a stack of documents, paused and tilted his head to look at the stack of papers. He saw that Bruce Wayne's name was written in the signature of the paper, so Victor curiously leaned his head over.

"Is this Bruce's paper? It's well written, isn't it? The introduction is quite organized, but... is there something wrong with this symbol? And why does the citation here seem to be in the wrong format..."

Schiller shook his head and said, "There are more problems. You only saw his introduction. He only wrote the introduction most seriously. Look here. At first glance, there is nothing wrong with it, but it is completely inconsistent with the opening report he gave me. It's obvious that he was full of ideas and wrote it wrong."

"And here, the logical relationship between the front and back is a mess. Jung's theory should not be quoted here. This conflicts with his previous conclusion, and here... This paper is obviously the result of overnight rush work."

Victor reached out and patted Schiller on the shoulder, saying, "Don't be too strict. After all, he didn't learn much in the first three years. It's good that he can write it now. These are minor problems. As long as the major research direction is fine, he can still graduate."

Schiller snorted coldly and said, "If undergraduate papers are written like this, what about graduate students?"

"He still wants to study for a master's degree?" Victor He asked in surprise: "Doesn't he dislike attending classes? Besides, does he really have time to research a topic?"

"Even if he doesn't want to, he has to do it. There are only a few graduate students in the whole Gotham University, and they are all from other schools. Their academic level is not good. I have worked here for a few years and I can't bring out a graduate student. That will be a stain on my resume."

Schiller sighed as he looked at the stack of papers. He was really worried. Victor thought for a while and said, "I think people who have read your resume should not care much whether you have brought out a graduate student."

Schiller rubbed his eyebrows, put down the stack of papers, picked up the phone at hand, and said, "Hello? This is Rodriguez, yes, that's right, I'm looking for Wayne, what? He's not here? At this time, if he is not in the library, where else can he be?"

Schiller glanced at his watch. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening. He knew that the dinner time at Wayne Manor was generally controlled around five to six in the afternoon. Bruce was also accustomed to a regular life and would not easily change his meal time.

So now, he should have finished dinner and returned to the library to continue studying. If he is not in the library now, it means that he is not studying.

Schiller took another look at the paper in his hand and frowned again.

If the paper has various problems, it is normal, after all, he is just an undergraduate, but when the paper is not finished and there are problems with the basic format, he does not catch up with the progress and disappears after dinner. That is an attitude problem.

Schiller stood up, put on his coat, took his umbrella, went to the library first to make sure Bruce was really not there, and then went to the dormitory and the cafeteria. Then he found that there was no sign of Bruce in the entire Gotham University, that is to say, Bruce is not in school at all.

Recalling that Bruce said Alfred was sick before, Schiller guessed. He might have returned to Wayne Manor to visit his housekeeper. After all, he has been staying in school these days, and he may also be worried about Alfred's condition, which is understandable.

Schiller also wanted to visit Alfred, so he drove to Wayne Manor. Alfred saw him, but Bruce was not there.

"Oh, Professor Schiller, why are you here at this time?" Alfred hurriedly came up to help Schiller get his coat, but Schiller had no intention of staying. He said, "Nothing, Bruce's paper format has some problems, I want to discuss it with him, is he not here?"

Alfred was stunned for a moment and said, "I just wanted to call the school and ask him to come back this weekend. Aisha is old enough to go to kindergarten. Whether to hire a tutor or send her to a community kindergarten needs to be arranged..."

Schiller thought for a while, then said, "If he is not in school or in the manor, he is most likely in Wayne Building or his base."

Alfred also nodded, agreed with him, and then said to Schiller, "Thank you for your trouble during this period, professor, I hope Bruce can graduate with an excellent grade..."

Looking at the old man in front of him, Schiller smiled and said, "He will."

After leaving Wayne Manor, Schiller rushed to Wayne Building, where most of the civilian employees of Wayne Group worked. Schiller had never been here before because he had no appointment, so he asked the front desk, but the front desk said that they did not see Wayne.

Just when Schiller was about to go to the Batcave to find Bruce, he saw a familiar black shadow in an alley near Wayne Building. Schiller looked down at the watch. It was less than eight o'clock and it was just getting dark. Why did Batman come out so early?

Schiller came to the entrance of the alley, and Batman just jumped down from the wall. Seeing Schiller blocking the alley outside, he was stunned.

Before Schiller could speak, Batman spoke first. He said, "Professor, if you want me to finish my thesis as soon as possible, you can call me directly at the library. You don't have to go into Wayne Building, which might scare the employees..."

Schiller was also stunned. He asked, "When did I enter Wayne Building? The front desk staff at Wayne Building didn't even know me. I just called the library to find you, and the librarian told me you were not there, so I came here."

The two were silent at the same time, realizing that there might be some misunderstanding. Schiller spoke first, "Batman, I don't have to stop your heroic career, but should you also... Should we look at the current situation? "

Schiller took out a stack of papers from somewhere, waved them in his hand, and the papers collided and made a "rustling" sound. Schiller looked at Batman and said: "Your current paper has problems with even the basic format, there are many symbol usage errors, and there are also problems with the citation format..."

"If you want to continue to fight crime in Gotham, you must at least solve these basic problems first? Is this request really too much?"

"Uh, no..." Batman replied, but then he hesitated and said: "But I have a problem that needs to be dealt with urgently."

"What problem?" Schiller looked at him and asked.

Perhaps Batman himself thought it was ridiculous, he showed a hesitant expression, but still said: "...Wayne Building has been robbed."

"A thief?" Schiller raised his voice and said: "Batman, do you have to test my bottom line again and again? If you really don't want to write a paper, then delay graduation for a few years. There is no need to tell a lie that a three-year-old child can see through to avoid studying..."

Then, Schiller lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said: "Okay, I can assume that your mental problems have not been treated in time, which has caused a series of consequences, resulting in your inability to fully integrate into normal life now. My requirements are not high. Is it difficult to modify the symbol problem tonight?"

Schiller felt that he had taken out the greatest patience, but Batman had no intention of leaving. He repeated again: "I'm not kidding. Someone broke into Wayne Building and took away a lot of important information. I thought it was..."

"Do you think it was me?" Schiller took two steps forward and looked at Batman. He raised his hand The paper in the book said: "I am not interested in any information of the Wayne Group. I just want you to go back to school and correct your punctuation marks!" Batman also sighed and said: "I am not worried about the theft of information. There are no secrets in Wayne Building, but the problem is that many employees have been frightened. They claim that a figure suddenly appeared in the office when they were off work..." "Many people say that it is the undead, but some people's reactions are a bit extreme. In the past few days, the windows of Wayne Building have been broken by bullets more than a dozen times, but that guy still appears..." Schiller sighed and said: "I don't have time to play such detective games with you. If there is any problem with your group, you are responsible for it yourself, but tomorrow morning, I hope to see you correct all the punctuation marks, okay?" After that, he turned and left. Batman behind him took a deep breath and touched his forehead with his fingers. He felt a sense of anxiety spreading in his heart. In the past two weeks, he deeply understood what academic pressure is. The next morning, Schiller sat in his office again, holding a stack of papers, frowning and sighing. Anna and Victor leaned against each other, whispering. Victor stared at Schiller and said, "To be honest, I can understand his feelings very well. Whenever a student's paper can't be corrected no matter how hard he tries, I really have the urge to take out the freezing gun and shoot him."

Anna snorted coldly and said, "Then you have never seen a genius who can calculate more than a dozen different results with the same set of data, and a genius who has the same result in the paper, but even the position of the decimal point is wrong!"

The two sighed at the same time. After staying in Gotham University for a long time, they wanted to go to church to thank God immediately when they met students with correct format and punctuation, and rigorous logic and argumentation.

Schiller didn't hear their whispers, but just focused on the stack of papers in his hand.

The punctuation of the paper was changed, but only the punctuation was changed. Schiller didn't think Bruce would be a pushover. There was no other reason to explain this matter except for his improper attitude.

After all, the thief in Wayne Building sounded like a fairy tale as long as it wasn't Catwoman, the heart-stealing thief.

And the matter was far from that simple. Today, when Schiller called the library, the librarian said that Bruce Wayne was not there again and had not come today.

He called the dormitory, and his roommate said that he had never seen him. He called Wayne Manor again, and Alfred still said that Bruce was not there.

For three whole days, Schiller couldn't get through the phone, and he couldn't get the paper or find anyone.

It can be said that now, Schiller can barely suppress his anger, all thanks to Batman having no parents.
