Chapter 939: Journey Into Schiller's Past (Part 2)

Batman's fingers holding the cup trembled slightly, but soon he turned his eyes to the cabinet where his personal belongings were kept.

The sudden emotion in his heart made him pause for a moment. Batman didn't know what he was excited about, but he felt that the decision he made was indeed correct.

Batman didn't intend to follow Zatanna's plan to cheat Schiller's umbrella, because he knew that this would never succeed, but he did need a way to enter Schiller's memory. Batman's goal was to find his weaknesses.

About a few months ago, when the transformation plan was just started, Batman began to re-formulate a defense plan for everyone in Gotham.

The plans of most people were completed within a month, but there were several targets that gave him a headache, not including Schiller, because he was no longer just a headache for Schiller.

After the last time the pathological personality appeared, Batman discovered that Schiller might indeed suffer from dissociative identity disorder. He had more than one personality, so naturally there was no way to use a universal plan to target him.

Of course, Batman thinks that if Schiller has 10,000 personalities, he can make 10,000 plans, which is not difficult for him, but the premise is that he has to figure out how many personalities Schiller has and what kind of weaknesses each of them has.

Unfortunately, many of Schiller's personalities appeared in front of Batman, and they were all fleeting, leaving Batman almost no time to observe the weaknesses. So when Constantine proposed to use Zatanna's ability to enter Schiller's memory space, he knew that the opportunity had come.

Of course, doing this is risky, but Batman has never been afraid of taking risks. Batman has considered the consequences of angering the professor, but he doesn't care anymore because he has already got his diploma.

Although the graduation ceremony has not been held yet, it is harmless. Anyway, he has planned to transfer to the Department of Physics when he is a graduate student. At that time, the professor can no longer threaten him with the thesis.

As for the previous credit scores and thesis level, Batman no longer intends to work hard for it. In short, he is ready to play badly.

So, he can test Schiller's bottom line without scruples, and he will soon gain something.

The small cabinet in front of him for storing personal belongings is divided into two parts. The upper part is a bookcase with glass doors, and the lower part is a storage cabinet for sundries. Batman first opened the bookcase, and there were quite a few books in the bookcase, but unfortunately, the names and contents of the books were vague.

Batman couldn't be sure what language these books were written in, so he couldn't judge what kind of books they were by thickness and binding. After flipping through them for a long time, he found almost nothing, so he half-knelt down again and checked the locker below.

After opening the cabinet door, the things inside were arranged in an orderly manner. There was a set of replacement hospital gowns on the first layer. Batman picked it up and found that it didn't match the figure of Schiller he knew.

Although Schiller was thin, he was 187 cm tall after all, and he shouldn't be able to wear the hospital gown in front of him, at least the pants and sleeves would definitely be short.

Batman compared the hospital gown to his own body and found that the person wearing this suit should be over 1.8 meters tall and very thin. Anyone with a little muscle should not be able to wear this suit.

Batman guessed that this might be Schiller in his youth, that is, he could only wear this suit when he was not so tall.

He folded the clothes and put them back. Next to them were a toothbrush, a towel and two rolls of toilet paper stacked together. These were very daily necessities and there were almost no clues, but the things on the next layer made Batman a little confused.

First, there was a metal biscuit box on the left side of the second layer. When Batman picked it up, he found that it was also written in Chinese. It should be a cookie box of a certain brand. After opening the lid, there were two notebooks inside.

The notebooks were very ordinary, just one new and one old. The old one looked like it had been flipped many times. After opening the notebook, it was densely packed with Chinese, which looked like a diary.

Batman read it carefully and found that the owner of the date seemed to have a plan, but it had never succeeded.

"On November 20, I successfully obtained the qualification to go to the cafeteria, and as planned, I watched the TV series played on the cafeteria TV..."

"On November 22, I began to try to imitate the behavior and speech of the characters in the TV series..."

"On November 25, I was found out during the follow-up visit and failed."

"On January 6, the nurse said that my illness would soon be cured. Of course, because my roommate was an anorexic patient. Although he was anorexic, his behavior was very normal. I successfully imitated him, so I became normal..."

"On January 10, I was found out during the follow-up visit and failed."

"On February 11, I said I wanted to take the college entrance examination. The dean was very happy and found a lot of books for me. After I memorized them all at a very fast speed, I was qualified to read extracurricular books."

"On February 13, I read a lot of stories in extracurricular books and imitated the words and deeds of the characters in them. The dean felt that knowledge makes people progress and was very happy."

"On February 15, I was found out during the follow-up visit and failed."

"On March 10, I was found out during the follow-up visit and failed."

"On March 25, I was found out during the follow-up visit and failed."

"On April 1, I began to consider giving up."

"On April 2, I gave up."

As he turned page after page of the diary, Batman's brows furrowed more and more. The information he could learn from this diary was that the owner of this diary seemed to have been trying to imitate normal people, but he would be exposed every time he went to the follow-up visit, and then he gave up.

Batman was about to put down the diary, but then he felt that the last page of the diary seemed to have been turned over by someone. He turned to the last page and found a sentence written there:

"The two things humans like to do most are to turn an ordinary person into a madman and ask a madman to disguise himself as an ordinary person."

When he saw this sentence, Batman's fingertips paused for a moment, but soon, he blinked and picked up another notebook.

This notebook is much newer than the previous one and looks like it has not been used much, but when Batman opened the first page, he was stunned.

There was no text on it, but a picture. The picture showed a huge tower, huge, magnificent, and reaching into the sky.

There was nothing when he turned it over again. Batman turned the two notebooks from beginning to end in a hurry, but he could not find any clues about the giant tower.

The only thing that can be seen is that the person who drew this picture seems to be thinking and modifying it at the same time, as if he was drawing a design drawing instead of a realistic sketch.

Another detail that Batman cares about is that the tower is covered with many patterns, or it can't be called a pattern, it's more like cracks, and the whole tower looks like it is made up of many small pieces.

And the direction of the author's handwriting is like repeatedly considering where each piece should be put together and how to connect these pieces to keep them stable.

When the parallax monster came and was parasitized by the laughing egg, Batman had seen the tower of Schiller's mind hall, but this time, he learned more information. This tower was not what Schiller saw from the first floor to the top floor, but was made up of various pieces.

Batman looked at the box on the right side of the second floor again. It looked like a plastic box that could be put in a microwave to heat things. After taking it out, opening the buckle and the lid, there was no food inside, but a few building blocks.

Batman took out a piece and looked at it carefully. He found that the edges and corners of these blocks were worn out. They should be used frequently every day. Batman narrowed his eyes in confusion. He really couldn't imagine Schiller sitting on the bed to build blocks.

This professor always looks very mature. He is not very interested in any entertainment that does not belong to his age group. If he must say a table game he might play, it may be chess or go, but it is impossible to build blocks.

Batman looked down at the building blocks in his hand. He thought, even if it is a building block, it should be more interesting like Lego, not this kind of wooden block. Besides, there are a total of six or seven building blocks in this box. It's probably hard to even build a door, right?

Batman closed the lid of the box and put it back in the cabinet, and cast his eyes to the bottom of the locker. There was something Batman couldn't understand the most. He picked it up and unfolded it, and then confirmed that it was a straitjacket used by mental patients.

At the moment he unfolded the straitjacket, the lights in the room suddenly flashed twice and then went out.

Instantly, Batman heard a strange sound, which sounded a bit like the teeth-grinding sound of metal being torn apart and deformed. He immediately thought of the "weak item" mentioned by Zatanna.

Batman looked down at the straitjacket, folded it quickly, and then took out the box with the diary from the second floor, put the clothes in it, and rushed out the door with the box.

Now, he was not wearing a bat suit, nor a night vision goggles. The whole corridor was dark and he could hardly see anything, but a few seconds later, he heard a "da da da" sound, like something was dragged on the ground.

Batman suddenly remembered that at the end of the sleeves of the straitjacket, there were two metal buckles used to fix the patient's arms. When that thing hit the edge of the steps, it would make such a crisp sound.

Batman took the box and rushed to the end of the corridor. When he turned around and wanted to go down the stairs, he saw a figure in a straitjacket appear at the end of the corridor with a flash of light.

He was about 1.8 meters tall, very thin, with almost no trace of muscle, and not as strong as Batman.

But Batman turned around and ran without any hesitation.
