It turns out that people really do laugh when they are speechless.
As soon as Victor walked in, he saw Schiller sitting alone on the sofa and laughing. He suddenly felt a little creepy and even immediately began to consider whether to call the police.
Although it seems that nothing has happened yet, something may happen soon. If the police are called now, they can avoid being stuck in the morning rush hour.
He leaned over and asked, "What's wrong, Schiller?"
"Nothing." Schiller came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I just found that my luck is still as bad as ever."
Victor showed a puzzled expression. Schiller said nothing more.
Schiller thought about it carefully and felt that there was only one situation in which Batman would think Bruce Wayne could save himself, that is, he had already succeeded in saving himself.
In other words, the Batman he meets now may be an extremely rare Batman in the countless multiverses who has truly relied on himself to get rid of the shadow of the past and return to being a normal person.
It can only be said that his luck has never been good. Basically, the Batman he encounters every time is a rare species, and this time it is a golden flash.
So how will Schiller deal with this Batman?The fact is that he has no other options. Psychologists' methods are basically only useful for people with psychological problems. If there is no psychological problem, then basically only physical means can be used.
But the difficulty of taking physical measures against Batman is actually about the same as that of taking physical measures against Superman. Superman can at least find the weakness of kryptonite, while Batman is basically untouchable.
The Batman he met now and the main universe Batman were two extremes: one was completely well, and the other didn't need to be well at all. Although the directions were different, the strength was the same.
People who firmly believe that the world is crazy and those who firmly believe that the world is not crazy are actually equally difficult to deal with.
For Schiller, the latter is more difficult to deal with. Even if it is the main universe Batman, he can use his academic knowledge to fight with the opponent for a few rounds in the verbal confrontation.
When faced with the latter, he could only sigh in despair, marveling at the strength of human willpower and the infinite mysteries of the spiritual world.
Schiller's plan to divert trouble seems impossible to complete, but it should have already been accomplished if it only affected the future fighting world's judgment of him and caused a misjudgment of the danger lurking in Gotham.
Sure enough, on the way to breakfast with Victor, Schiller received a call from Gordon.
"…Really? He's disappeared? Are you sure he didn't run away on his own? Okay, I get it."
"Honestly, I don't have any idea. But it's definitely not an ordinary person. Have you checked the surveillance? Hmm...it seems that things are more complicated than I thought."
Schiller hung up the phone and Victor looked at him. Schiller put away his phone and said, "Jonathan disappeared from the police station."
"Not surprising," Victor said. "This guy should have gotten away long ago. There's no evidence to prove his guilt, and the police can't do anything about him."
"No," Schiller said, "He probably didn't run away on his own. It's more likely that he was taken away by someone."
"why?"
"If he didn't want to be arrested, he wouldn't have let the police take him away. Because there is no evidence, the police will have to release him in less than 10 hours. Now he's gone. Even if there is no evidence of poisoning, he will at least be charged with escaping from prison, resisting arrest and obstructing public service. Why bother?"
"That's right." Victor nodded, then asked in confusion, "Who would have nothing better to do than rob him? Could it be that he has some good criminal companions?"
"He must have been kidnapped," Schiller said.
Victor paused for a moment, then looked at Schiller with his mouth wide open and said, "You're not doing this just for this?!"
"Originally there were other purposes, but now it seems difficult to achieve. So it is indeed for this." Schiller sighed.
"You knew someone was going to kidnap you, so you pushed Jonathan out to ward off disaster. I was wondering why you were so kind and told Sivana that you agreed to his application. It turns out you were waiting for him here."
Victor thought for a moment and then said, "But even if you don't do this, no one can kidnap you, right? So you just want to make Jonathan suffer?"
"It's not that simple," Schiller said. "This time our opponent is not a madman, but an alien."
"True. You're probably the only one who thinks aliens are scarier than lunatics." Victor couldn't help but complain, "Especially lunatics from Gotham."
"Don't forget that you are also one of the crazy people, Mr. Freeze." Schiller rolled his eyes slightly and said, "There is no time to joke now, I am serious. If the people who came were really Superman's compatriots, it would not be so troublesome, but now it seems that there is more than that."
"Not Kryptonians?" Victor raised his eyebrows in slight surprise. He said, "Then what other aliens are there?"
"There were no signs of a struggle at the scene where Jonathan disappeared. There are two possibilities: either he voluntarily followed that person away; or the other party did not need to use force to subdue him."
"It's not that difficult to subdue Jonathan by force. If we just knock him out, there shouldn't be any traces left." Victor questioned, "Fear gas may not be effective against aliens. Maybe he tried to resist, but he couldn't even withstand a single blow, so naturally there would be no traces of a fight."
"Then you underestimate Jonathan." Schiller shook his head slightly and said, "It is indeed not difficult to subdue him, but I am afraid that even Batman cannot make him leave no clues."
"Do you really think he's that powerful?"
"He's not a chemist by trade," Schiller said. "Even if he loses his chemical means, he can use psychological techniques to calm the opponent, giving himself enough time to call for help or leave clues."
"But if nothing is found at the scene, it proves that either he deliberately didn't want to do it or he didn't have the opportunity to do it."
"Which one do you think it will be?"
"I'm more inclined to the former." Schiller obviously thought about it, and he said, "Jonathan took the initiative to leave with him."
"But you just said that leaving now would not do Jonathan any good. Not only would he have to spend half a day in jail, but he might also face a series of charges later."
"That means the benefits of following the other party away must be greater than the subsequent disadvantages."
"Could it be that the other party promised him great benefits?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Think about it, why do aliens come to Earth?"
"Of course, it's to invade the Earth. But the Earth doesn't seem to have any very rare resources, so I guess they want to rule the Earth as a colony?"
"So what benefits can he promise to Jonathan? When the aliens conquer the Earth, he will make him the governor of the Earth? Do you think Jonathan will be interested?"
"I'm afraid not." Victor shook his head and said, "I'm not praising him, but this guy is obviously not the kind of person who pursues fame and fortune, and he doesn't want to be a ruler. Or maybe he is similar to the Joker. They both hate this kind of thing and would rather pursue art alone."
"Yes, that's right. This kind of benefit will definitely not move Jonathan. If it were in another universe, Jonathan might cooperate with them to deal with Batman, but there is no Batman in our universe..."
"Wait a minute." Victor suddenly interrupted Schiller and said, "Why do I feel that he might be cooperating with aliens to deal with you?"
"Why are you targeting me?"
"Why do you say that? You put such a huge blame on him, and you don't even allow him to fight back?"
"But he was the one who poisoned the party, and I didn't force him. If he hadn't done this prank, I wouldn't have had the chance to do it."
"He won't reason with you." Victor shook his head and said, "I feel like this is something he would do."
"Okay, let's assume that. Then why does Jonathan think the aliens can handle me?"
"You just said that aliens are more difficult to deal with than lunatics."
"That's just difficult to deal with. If it's just a Kryptonian, there may not be anything he can do to me. Jonathan won't choose to bet before he sees the opponent's true strength."
"I understand. What you mean is that this alien may have shown some unique abilities that made Jonathan think he could use him to deal with you, so he chose to go with him."
Schiller nodded, then added, "So in what capacity do you think Jonathan will go with him?"
"What identity?" Victor thought for a moment before reacting. He said, "Oh, you mean the black pot you put on him. Do you think he will admit that he is the professor?"
"What do you think?"
Victor stroked his chin, thought seriously for a moment, and then said, "If it were me, I would admit it. Because the professor's value is obviously greater than mine. As long as I can hold this card firmly, I will have a lot more room for negotiation with the other party."
"That's right. Jonathan is smart, so he will definitely recognize it."
"Can't the other party tell that he is lying?"
"I say the same thing. Although Jonathan is a famous chemist, he is also quite knowledgeable in psychology. As long as he doesn't want to, almost no one can find out that he is lying."
Victor thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Indeed. This guy's disguise is so good that he could even fool Batman."
"But what worries me a little is, what abilities did the alien show that made Jonathan think he could deal with you?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying," Schiller said. "Batman left Superman at the police station to watch over Jonathan, but when the intruders took Jonathan away, there was no sign of a struggle. What do you think happened?"
Victor was obviously confused at first, but soon he locked on an answer, which he felt was a little unreliable, so he asked tentatively: "Is he a psychic?"
"When you eliminate all possibilities, what remains must be the truth, even if it sounds absurd," Schiller said.
"It's really ridiculous. How can anyone beat Superman in psychic abilities? Not even you?"
"I repeat, I am not a person with super powers," Schiller stressed. "I am a psychologist, not a person with psychic powers."
"Okay, okay." Victor waved his hand perfunctorily, obviously not wanting to dwell on this issue. He said, "If the other party is a very powerful psychic, then it makes sense."
"No." Schiller denied it again. He said, "The other party is indeed a psychic, but I'm afraid he is not strong enough."
"What do you mean?"
"We've all seen truly powerful psychics."
"You don't mean..."
"If it was Professor X, we would just think Jonathan had never been to the police station."
