Chapter Fifty-Eight: The World in the Ring
"Later, you go and send this report to Mrs. Felton in the Academic Affairs Office, of course, the club-related matters will be organized after the final exams, and I don't think the students have so much time to bother with these things now."
Evans nodded with the document in his hand and said, "Indeed, almost everyone has studied hard, and even the few who have skaunted class records have been running to the library a lot recently. ”
Schiller flipped through it on his desk, then handed him a stack of papers and said: "Although I tell you that the whole book is the main point, I think that with your current level, it may be a fool's dream to memorize the whole book, this is the scope of the thesis proposition, let them hurry up and read it......"
As he spoke, Bruce knocked on the door, and Evans said, "Then I won't bother you, Professor, and I'll arrange it as soon as possible." ”
When Bruce came in, he naturally found a chair to sit down, and Schiller asked him while cleaning up the textbooks on the table, "Are you done with your review?" ”
"Of course, that's not a lot." Bruce is still quite proud of his IQ and memory.
"You'd better make sure your paper passes, or I'll give it to your butler...... What's his name? ”
"Uh, Alfred, Professor, my butler's name is Alfred."
"Oh yes, if you don't pass this exam, I'll call your butler Alfred."
Bruce was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, you better give me some more information......
He had a subtle feeling, Schiller's very natural attitude of "calling parents", which made him feel that he was being treated like a little child, and he felt a little resentful, but as soon as he imagined this scene, Bruce felt that he should go back and read the book again.
"What are you going to do on vacation?"
"I have a lot to do, you know, what are you going to do?"
"Yesterday the attending physician of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital called me, we are old classmates, he is a little busy over there, he invited me to come over to help, I plan to take two students over for internships."
"Oh? So who are you going to bring? ”
"I've already said hello to Falcone, Evans is definitely going, he's doing pretty well and he's already number one in the class, and as for the other one, I haven't thought about it yet."
As soon as Bruce wanted to speak, Schiller said, "But it's definitely not you anyway, your grades are terrible." ”
Bruce pouted, and he said, "Things at the East Docks haven't settled down lately, and without the Edwards, there's some chaos there, and I've been busy lately, and so has Gordon. ”
"I think you're not just busy with your heroic career at night, what happened to that heart-stealing female thief?"
Bruce said: "Of course, I've only been busy with my other half of my career lately, and Serena's good friend Maggie has been in poor health lately, and she hasn't been out of the event. ”
"But ......," Bruce said with a slight smile, "our justice lawyer, Mr. Harvey, seems to be moving a little. ”
Schiller raised an eyebrow and said, "He's going to like the Gotham girl?" It's really strange, who has such a big charm? ”
"Christine, it's Christine."
"The head of the cheerleading troupe? But isn't she a fan of Batman? ”
"The old headmaster was prosecuted and imprisoned again because Harvey helped Christine testify against him again, and this time, because of Harvey's defense, the old headmaster had no excuse to use for medical parole, and he was sentenced to 137 years, and I am afraid he will never come out again."
"You know, how can you not gain the gratitude and admiration of a girl when you are eloquent and powerful in court?"
Schiller touched the corners of his eyebrows and said, "Tsk, our lawyer is really a blessing. ”
After Bruce left, Schiller returned to his apartment building, still chatting with the Green Lantern in his head.
He was too experienced with this situation, because the current Green Lantern was exactly the same as the little spider who had just gained superpowers.
Apparently, he had gotten the green light ring from the alien's hand.
Compared to Peter, Hal is more mature, after all, he is older, has a pilot's license, and his psychological quality is much better than that of a high school student's little spider, so even though he is chatting with netizens excitedly, he does not reveal anything about aliens and magic rings.
Schiller chatted with him for a while, then clicked on his avatar and found that Green Lantern's abilities could indeed be replicated.
Schiller clicked copy, but he didn't expect that this time it was delayed for a long time, and the system's prompt did not come.
After a moment, he suddenly noticed that the symbiote in his head was humming slightly.
He shouted the symbiote a few times, but there was no response, and after a while, the system sounded:
"The world in the ring is loaded."
When Schiller was scratching his head, a series of excited brain waves suddenly came from the symbiote, and then Schiller felt something more on his finger, and he looked down to see that it was a silver-gray quaint ring.
Schiller felt very strange, the system's ability replication should not be able to copy things outside the body, and even if the Green Lantern Ring was copied, it should be green, why did it turn gray?
Then the symbiote gave Schiller the answer.
Green Lantern is a very special hero, most of his abilities come from the Green Lantern Ring, including the shaping of the Green Energy Body Blade, the force field of the Green Light Energy, the teleportation ability and the healing ability, etc., these are the special abilities that the Green Lantern Ring brings to him.
Therefore, the abilities that the system has copied that belong to the Green Lantern must also have a carrier.
Schiller didn't have a green light ring, so the system turned the symbiote gray mist into a vehicle for this ability.
"So the carrier is you, so what's the use of this ring?"
"It's useless, but it's beautiful." Symbiote said.
"Okay." Schiller said.
He glanced at his finger, the ring was actually very simple, it was a silver-gray shank, with a few wavy lines on it, it didn't look out of place, the only thing that was a little strange was that it was worn on the ring finger.
"So how do you use this ability?" Schiller asked the symbiote.
"Think about it in your head."
Schiller closed his eyes and focused, and soon, he noticed that there was a gray mist in the pitch-black vision, and the fog gradually enlarged, and after a moment of white light, his consciousness appeared on an island shrouded in gray mist.
The island was not large, and the end could be seen as far as the eye could see, and Schiller controlled his vision to fly to the edge of the island and then look down.
Underneath the island is a huge city that is boundless.
The island and the city were still shrouded in a hazy gray mist, and the city was not as big as it could be, all the buildings in the haze took on strange shapes, and from time to time, there would be huge creatures that could not see the exact shape, shuttling through the city.
It's an island that floats above a huge city.
Schiller begins to reminisce about Green Lantern's World of the Ring, in the comics, the Green Lantern Ring has a separate world inside, Green Lantern has shrunk his enemies into this world, and he himself has been trapped in the emerald sand dunes of the Green Lantern Ring World in the World of the Green Lantern Ring.
Even the Green Lantern Ring himself doesn't seem to be able to fully control their Ring World, just like Schiller now, his consciousness can only stay within the confines of this isolated island, and the huge city below that can't see any details is completely out of his control.
But fortunately, the isolated island didn't seem to have any connection with the city below, and the huge shadows that suddenly appeared in the fog didn't notice that there was something extra above their heads.
And Schiller was surprised to find that he seemed to have entered this world in the flesh, and here, he could communicate with symbiotes as well.
He cut off his consciousness and returned to reality, looking up at the clock, time was flowing.
In other words, it is equivalent to an independent shelter, and theoretically, if he encounters an irresistible danger, he can directly enter the gray fog world, and then wait for the crisis to pass.
Schiller thought that the huge city beneath the island, and the huge figures looming in the gray mist, must have hidden great secrets, and they were also very dangerous, and it was not a good idea to stay there for too long. Unless you encounter a danger that can endanger your life, it is better to avoid this strange and bizarre world in the ring.
Later in the evening, Mrs. Felton from the Academic Affairs Office came over, and she had come to check with Schiller about the cost of the next semester's textbooks, but she was a very enthusiastic wife, and she said to Schiller, "Our new principal was just discharged yesterday, and perhaps he will be back in office tomorrow." ”
She quietly reminded Schiller: "He seems to be in a hurry, and he may want to make a big move." ”
As Mrs. Felton said, Schiller received a call from Headmaster Shelton that night,
This time Shelton seemed to have learned wisely, and instead of aggressively asking Schiller to accomplish any tasks as he did at the beginning, he said a bunch of empty words to make him work well, and finally told Schiller that some professorships at Gotham University might change recently, and he invited some old friends he had met in Princeton to introduce him to experts and professors to form the new professorial team of Gotham University.
He seems to want to use this method to make Schiller nervous, after all, in the university, the resources in the hands of professors depend on the importance of the university to the subjects they teach, and now Schiller is indeed a golden sign of Gotham University, his resume is really strong, and even some students from other places apply to Gotham University specifically for this professor.
But if more world-class experts and scholars join the university and organize their own laboratories to lead students in world-class research, it is difficult to say whether the university's resources will still be tilted towards psychology as a subject.
Schiller didn't have a problem with that, after all, he also wanted Gotham University to be a little better and add luster to his teaching resume.
Until, in the list of newly hired professors hired by President Shelton, he saw the name of Victor Freese.
