Chapter 946: The Three Detectives (Part 2)

After confirming that there was no exit in the observation room, Batman turned around and looked at Zatanna and said, "How many times can you use your teleportation? I mean under extreme conditions..."

"Five times, at most five times." Zatanna sighed and said, "Don't you realize that my soul power is almost exhausted? Traveling in the memory space is much more troublesome than in reality. Just positioning will consume more than half of the power. I can only teleport five more times at most, and then I will completely lose the ability to move..."

Batman nodded and said, "Now, use one teleportation to take us to the first floor to find the exit in the living area."

Zatanna looked a little tired, but didn't say anything. She waved her hand and a fire circle appeared. After the three of them went in, they appeared in the corridor on the first floor.

Batman started to check facilities such as convenience stores, but after searching here for a few minutes, he didn't find anything that looked like an exit. Finally, they came to the cafeteria on the first floor.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a bright ball of light appear in the center of the cafeteria. Constantine breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally found it. Let's go quickly. We can't stay here anymore."

"But why the cafeteria?" Batman showed a classic skeptical expression and said, "The follow-up room, observation room, library, study room, aren't these places more likely to have some events that Schiller feels resistant to?"

"Isn't it more uncomfortable to be repeatedly exposed by a psychiatrist or to be fixed to a chair by a straitjacket than to eat?"

"Who knows? You also said that he is a mental patient. Don't try to understand their world." Constantine shrugged and walked towards the ball of light, with Zatanna following behind him.

Before Batman left, he saw a figure in a straitjacket appear outside the cafeteria door. In the dim light of the safety indicator light, it looked gloomy and terrifying.

When Schiller, wearing a straitjacket, faced Batman in a bat suit, it was hard to say who looked crazier.

Batman turned and walked towards the light ball. A bright white flashed by, and the next second, he came to a pure white space.

Constantine sat down on the ground, and Zatanna introduced to Batman: "This is the buffer zone. We can rest here and then start thinking about building virtual memory..."

"I don't need to rest. What kind of virtual memory space do you plan to build?" Batman asked.

Zatanna thought for a while, and then said: "First, we have to find a relatively safe and stable memory space. It can't be too aggressive, otherwise it will easily appear flaws."

"Then, I will use the weak items to trick him into handing over the umbrella, such as... Forget it, I'm not very tired, let's start directly."

Constantine sat there and sighed, "But I... Okay, Xiao Za, after you go out, you must buy me a drink. I haven't shed so much blood for a long time..."

After that, he stood up from the ground a little shakily, and Zatanna waved her hand , many light balls appeared in front of him, and then said: "These are some memory fragments. I don't know why, his memory fragments are more fragmented than others. A normal person's memory can last at least 2 to 3 days."

"But the longest memory fragments I can find in his soul are only an hour, so I don't have time to slowly lay the groundwork. It might be better to create some unexpected events. Watch me."

Zatanna took a step forward and selected one of the many light balls. After the light ball unfolded, it turned into a screen. Batman saw that Schiller was teaching on the screen.

When he saw the familiar theories on the blackboard and the paper assignments that had just been handed in on the podium, Batman subconsciously took a half step back, wanting to stay away from the blackboard.

Zatanna didn't notice his abnormality. She just touched her chin and said, "Straitjacket... Straitjacket... Now that I have it, what should I do!"

Then, one of her hands lit up. She gently touched her forehead with the index finger of this hand, and then said, "Schiller Rodriguez, you were born into a family with a history of hereditary mental illness. You often feel fear when your mental illness breaks out..."

"Wait a minute." Batman interrupted her and said, "Savant autism should not be a hereditary mental illness..."

Zatanna curled her lips helplessly and said, "It doesn't matter. We are liars. Our purpose is to make up something that doesn't exist..."

"I am replacing Schiller's memory in this memory space. You must make him afraid in order to make him give up his umbrella."

After that. Zatanna looked at Batman with some dissatisfaction and said, "Don't interrupt me. This is very energy-consuming."

Batman opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but looking at Zatanna's firm expression, he thought about it and shut up.

At this moment, he saw on the screen that the door of the classroom on the right was slammed open, and a group of doctors rushed in. One of them walked up to Schiller and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Schiller, you had a mental illness attack and injured three innocent students. You were reported by their parents. You must come back to the hospital with us for treatment."

Schiller in this memory space. It seems that Zatanna has indeed replaced his memory. He first showed a shocked expression, then looked at the doctor, and finally said: "Okay, I am willing to cooperate with the treatment."

After that, he put on his coat, picked up his umbrella, and was about to leave with the doctors, but at this time, the leading doctor said: "No, in order to prevent your disease from recurring and hurting people, you cannot hold any sharp objects. Please give us the umbrella and we will keep it properly."

"But it's raining outside." Schiller glanced at the sky outside the window.

Zatanna outside the screen snorted coldly and waved her hand, but there was no change on the screen. She frowned and waved her hand again, but there was still no change.

"What's going on? Why can't I make the weather sunny? Stop! Stop raining!... Clear up quickly! Show the blue sky! Then he won't have a reason to hold an umbrella..."

"What's going on? Is my ability failing?" Zatanna kept trying various methods like a player whose remote controller suddenly failed, and then said: "No, I can still control the scene in my memory, but why can't I stop the rain?"

"Where did you set the location?" Batman asked.

"The location is not set by me. The place where he teaches... Oh, it's Gotham University."

"I advise you not to try again. You can't do it." Batman looked at Zatanna and said, "If you have the ability to make Gotham sunny, then we can return to reality now and tell this professor about it. He will be very happy to exchange the evil curse in the umbrella with you."

Zatanna didn't understand what he was hinting at, but she didn't dwell on this issue for too long. She said, "Forget it, change the words."

Then, the leading doctor on the screen said, "Professor, no matter what, we can't let you hold dangerous items. Please give it to me."

After that, he stood up and took a step forward, while Schiller took a step back, but he had no intention of handing over the umbrella. But at this time, the leading doctor took out a straitjacket and said, "If you don't cooperate, we must take coercive measures..."

"Okay, that's it. If he sees this weak item and feels scared, then he will definitely choose to cooperate..." Zatanna said to herself.

The doctors on the screen were holding straitjackets and approaching Schiller, but at this time. Schiller did not retreat. He looked at the leading doctor and said, "You said that I injured three students due to mental illness and was reported. So, what mental illness do I have?"

"Uh..." The doctor paused, and Zatanna thought for a while and said: "... Schizophrenia? Yes, that's right! It's schizophrenia!"

"What type of schizophrenia?" Schiller asked again.

"Type? Schizophrenia is divided into types?" Zatanna frowned and asked, "What types of schizophrenia are there?"

Batman subconsciously said, "Paranoid, catatonic, adolescent, simple, residual, undifferentiated..."

Zatanna looked at him and said, "Then... which of these types will have violent behavior that attacks others?"

"It's complicated." Batman only said one word, and then said, "It depends on the person."

"Symptoms are usually divided into sensory disorders, namely hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, olfactory hallucinations, etc., as well as thinking disorders. The most common is persecution delusion, as well as emotional, volitional, behavioral disorders, and cognitive dysfunction..."

"Depending on the severity of the symptoms, it is divided into mild and severe cases, and the prognosis is different depending on the type..."

"Stop." Zatanna said, "Can you give me a conclusion directly?"

"Paranoid schizophrenia is the most common, because the aggressive behavior caused by hallucinations may also hurt people, so let's go with this one." Zatanna seemed to think that Batman's answer seemed a little unconfident, but she didn't have a better answer, so she repeated the answer.

Schiller nodded, as if he approved. For some reason, Zatanna breathed a sigh of relief, but then he asked again:

"What kind of diagnosis did you use to reach this conclusion?"

Zatanna immediately turned to look at Batman, who frowned and said: "According to the Classification and Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Diseases DSM-Ⅳ-TR, WHO's International Classification of Diseases ICD-10..."

"What?" Zatanna didn't even understand this series of words, so she could only repeat the pronunciation a little stumblingly, and then Schiller asked again:

"So, after sending me to the hospital, how do you plan to treat me?"

"Early, sufficient, and sufficient treatment..." Batman recited mechanically: "The principle of single medication and individualized medication should be followed, and second-generation drugs such as risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, etc. should be selected as first-line drugs..."

Zatanna was completely unable to repeat this part of the content. This was another difficult magic spell for her. She sighed and said: Why is this professor's occupational disease so serious? Can't he think about things more simply? If he is sick, he can go to the hospital for treatment..."

"Have you ever considered that he is a top psychologist. Although he is not proficient in pathology, he has learned it. How could he follow you into the mental hospital?" Batman said.

"Why don't you force him directly?" Batman asked again. Zatanna sighed a little decadently and said: "I have said that we are liars, not robbers. Excessive stimulation may cause the mental space to collapse, and it will be discovered by the person himself. Once he is alert, it will be difficult to fabricate memories again."

"Forget it, it's okay. We still have two other items." Zatanna looked at the butcher knife and the building block again, and she said: "Continue."

Zatanna first picked up the butcher knife and said thoughtfully: "How can a knife cause fear? Normal people should be afraid of being stabbed by a knife, but this type of fear is not suitable for him to throw down his umbrella. On the contrary, he might stimulate the curse in the umbrella because of his defensive action with the umbrella..."

"Wait! I know!" Zatanna suddenly had an idea and snapped her fingers and said, "How about this? Schiller took this knife and committed a murder, and before he had time to hide the murder weapon, the police came..."

"He must deal with the murder weapon quickly to avoid being arrested by the police. If he wants to hide such a long knife, one hand is definitely not enough. In a panic, he will definitely not have time to take care of the umbrella!"

Zatanna was excited about her brilliant idea and planned to put it into practice immediately.

What Zatanna didn't notice was that at this time, the expression of Batman behind her became a little complicated.
