The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman - Chapter 3489 Research on Cats and Dogs (37)

Schiller was standing in the office of the Gotham Police Chief. Gordon put down a pile of documents in his hand, took out a hard drive from the other side of the table, and handed it to Schiller.

"It contains the surveillance video you requested. However, we don't have more staff to screen it. If we want to review all the contents at full speed, it will take more than three months. Are you sure you want to do it yourself?"

“Hasn’t this been deleted?”

"Don't worry. The monitoring system used in Gotham is now updated. Even if there is permission to modify it, the modification record will be sent to the virtual server. If the other party doesn't know this, it will be impossible for them to be prepared. But the server records show that there has been no modification."

"I've got the surveillance video. Are you and Nora in the office now? Okay, I'll be there right away."

Schiller returned to Gotham University with the hard drive and found the Freeses waiting in Victor's office.

Schiller handed over the hard drive and said, "Thank you for your help. Contact me as soon as you find anything unusual. Oh, and make a copy for me. I still need to go to the principal's office."

Victor nodded and said, "No problem. I'm worried that the other party has more advanced means of transportation, and I won't be able to find anything unusual in the highway surveillance video. But I will try to watch it carefully."

"It's hard to imagine that you would choose such an inefficient way to track down the enemy." Nora frowned slightly and said, "You should have a better way to determine the enemy's base."

"I did. But that's what Batman should do." Schiller said with a smile.

"I'm afraid Batman can't hide the fact that you went to the police station to retrieve the surveillance footage. How are you going to explain it to him?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "He won't even ask me. Why should I explain it to him?"

"I don't know whether it's fortunate or unfortunate that the Batman we met is a normal person. He may have doubts, but he won't let his doubts get the better of him. He knows what the best thing to do is now."

"He will definitely track down Jonathan's whereabouts. In a way, your plan is successful. If Jonathan is really safe and sound, Batman will definitely think he is the professor's."

"So we have to help Jonathan." Schiller tapped the hard drive with his fingertips and said, "We must make the murderer realize that the professor is more valuable alive than dead."

"What do you want to do?" Victor asked. "I saw you having breakfast with Sivana this morning. What are you two planning?"

Victor looked at him suspiciously, but nodded. "The school has already started warming up activities. Almost all faculty and staff members are unaware of this."

"We have a brand new sports stadium on the new campus, and the conditions for watching games are excellent. We hope that everyone knows this. In addition to bringing in more ticket revenue, it can also better enhance the reputation of Gotham University."

"Of course. I hope so too." Victor said, "This competition should attract many students from surrounding cities to visit Gotham University, which will also increase their willingness to apply and improve our overall quality of students. But what does this have to do with Jonathan?"

"The murderer kidnapped the professor in order to disrupt the Justice League in Metropolis, so that the Justice League could focus some of its energy on Gotham, thereby relaxing Metropolis' defenses and giving them an opportunity to take advantage."

Victor paused and said with a puzzled look, "Yes, they have kidnapped Jonathan for more than ten hours. Why is there no movement? Could it be that Jonathan killed them?"

"The probability is not high." Schiller shook his head slightly. He knew that if Jonathan's fear venom had not been taken away by him, he would have a chance to kill him. But now, it was basically impossible for Jonathan to destroy him physically.

"This can only mean that Jonathan found a way to hold them back. It is worth pondering what method he came up with."

"You said that the professor is valuable, so Jonathan might have told them that he has some important information... Oh, I see. Could the psychic be walking in a maze in his mind?"

"Can Jonathan really stop them?"

"Definitely not. He's not a superpower. Although his psychology level is very high, his mental strength is not enough and he can't hold on for too long. In other words, even if he could, he wouldn't hold on forever."

"why?"

"Don't forget why he wanted to go with him. He wanted to use his psychic ability to deal with me. So what do you think he would do with the secret in his mind?"

Schiller nodded and said, "Yes, he went to such great lengths just to trick me. He will definitely try to get the secrets that the so-called professor can hold onto me."

"Then why didn't he just expose you as the professor?"

"Then how is he going to survive?"

Victor nodded in understanding and said, "That's right. I have to find a way to survive and to trick you. I really can't just expose it directly. It would be troublesome if I get silenced."

"It depends on the weight of the secrets they uncover," Schiller said. "If this is a secret that can seriously affect the stability of the Justice League or even the two cities, then they will never kill Jonathan so easily, because they still hope to uncover more."

"Humans are always greedy, and so are aliens." Victor said, "But I still don't quite understand what this has to do with Gotham University."

"If he leads it directly to me, it will be too obvious," Schiller said. "After all, we have a little conflict. If the aliens find out and Jonathan wants to use them as a knife, then Jonathan will be finished."

"With Jonathan's intelligence, it's impossible for him to do it so obviously. It's safest to limit his attack to a certain range instead of targeting a specific person. And because I'm staying at Gotham University, his target is probably Gotham University."

Schiller just smiled and said nothing. Victor sighed and said, "No wonder you allowed Jonathan to poison the faculty and staff. It turns out you were waiting for him here."

"Will they attack Gotham University?" Nora asked with some concern. She looked around, as if she was estimating the value of the experimental equipment in her mind.

"They may not launch a large-scale attack, but they will probably send some people to test us and conduct a stealthy investigation first."

"But you said that Gotham University is about to hold a competition. If they make a mess on campus at this time...ah, are you trying to delay the competition?"

"Besides, promotion takes time. The schedule for this season was finalized too late, so we started promoting it too late. Currently, apart from some rumors in Gotham, we haven't heard much about it even in Metropolis. This is definitely not acceptable."

"I remember now," said Nora. She was more concerned about sports than Victor. "The invitational tournament contract states that the tournament can only be postponed in the event of force majeure. For example, a hurricane, tsunami, earthquake, etc., and the venues must be completely destroyed..."

"My God, our stadium is new!" Victor stared at Schiller and said, "You don't want to tear it down like this?"

"Of course not. We don't have any more money to rebuild." Schiller said immediately, "It's just that we need to let people know that we have been invaded by aliens. This can also be considered as a force majeure, so we can naturally take this opportunity to postpone the game time."

"That won't work. We can't jeopardize the image of our tourist city." Schiller waved his hand and said, "If a tsunami happened here, who would dare to go to the beach?"

"But are you sure they won't mess up the school too much?" Nora said worriedly, "Even if they destroy some buildings, it will be a huge loss."

"This brings us to the good companions that Batman brought with him," Schiller said. "With Superman here, the minions they sent are nothing to be afraid of. And once they find out that Superman is protecting Gotham University, they will think there is some secret here, and will try every possible means to attack here."

Victor looked at the hard drive on the table again and said, "Then you didn't check the traffic surveillance video just to find out where Jonathan was taken, right?"

Victor was a little shocked. He said, "Then he can't play it quickly. With so many surveillance videos, how long will it take to check them all?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Participating in statistics activities can add half a credit, and students are eager to get them. I think it will take two or three days to finish the study."

"How could I have forgotten this trick?" Victor also laughed and said, "Since he became the principal, it has become increasingly difficult to accumulate credits. All students have become his free labor."
