Chapter 300: Three Detectives (4)
When Schiller took the umbrella back, Batman and Gordon stood on either side of him, looking down at the fallen Konstantin, Gordon hesitated slightly, turned his head to look at Schiller on his left, and said, "Do you two have a grudge?" β
"No, but ......," Schiller paused for a moment, then continued: "You see this man anywhere, no matter what he was doing, you only have to do two things. β
"The first thing is to cover his mouth, and the second thing is to beat him."
"Uh, why is that?"
"While relieving your anger, you can also make sure that you can't be his friend."
Gordon wanted to ask, but at this time, Konstantin lying on the ground suddenly began to disappear.
Gordon turned his head back, his eyes widened and he looked at the ground, Konstantin gradually turned into the black ash from his feet, and almost instantly, what was originally a large living person became a humanoid ash pile spread flat on the ground.
As soon as Gordon was about to speak, the pile of ash suddenly flew up and turned into a small tornado, and was sucked into the black book that was in his hand, and Gordon walked over and bent down, and just as he was about to reach out and touch the book, Schiller said, "Don't touch it." β
"Detective Gordon, don't touch anything occult lightly, because you don't know how many dark magic traps and curses are hidden in it."
Schiller sighed slightly and said, "Not surprised, because this guy is a complete liar and a rotten person, saving the world?" That had nothing to do with him. β
As soon as Batman wanted to say something, he saw Schiller's movements stiffen, then Schiller straightened up, his eyes were a little empty, and after about two seconds, he suddenly showed a smile.
How to describe this smile, simply put, Batman silently took half a step back, and Gordon took a step back.
Schiller tapped his palm with his umbrella and said, "...... The happiest thing in this world is that a small trap you inadvertently set was triggered by a prey that fell into the net......"
"What do you mean?" Gordon scratched his head and asked, he found that since the appearance of that magic array, there were more and more things he couldn't understand.
Schiller turned and walked to the door, and as he went, he said, "Come with me, go to my manor, and I will invite you to drink." β
"Wait, what about this thing?" Gordon said, pointing to the demon trapped in the wall in chains.
Schiller, who had already walked out of the door, took two steps back, turned his head to look at the demon who was fixed to the wall, the demon saw his eyes, desperately ducked back, Gordon stepped forward, and said as he walked: "It seems that it can't make much waves in Gotham, let's go." β
A few children followed the three adults outside, and Jason spat at the demon trapped in the wall as he passed by.
Batman drove the kids to his stronghold and then returned to pick up Schiller and Gordon, and the three of them went to Schiller's manor, and after entering the manor, Batman squinted his eyes and said, "It looks like someone has broken into here." β
"But I just saw that the lock wasn't broken?" Gordon turned, looked around left and right, and said, "There is no sign of the window being broken. β
"Detective Gordon, just now, you saw a demon with your own eyes, and you also saw a big living person turned into ashes, why do you think this intruder will go through the doors and windows?"
Gordon slapped his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, but I still haven't turned my mind around, after all, the most common burglary scene in Gotham, doors and windows will be smashed to pieces." β
Schiller's destination was clear, he led the two directly to the second floor, then turned left and walked to the reception room at the very end.
As soon as he opened the door, Gordon saw a familiar figure lying on the ground, and when they walked in, Gordon said, "Isn't this the same Konstantin from before?" Why is he here? And...... What is that? β
I saw that Konstantin, who was lying on his stomach, also knocked over a bottle of wine, and at this time, the room was filled with a rich aroma of wine, which was somewhat charming.
Gordon sniffed hard, a hazy halo of colors began to appear in his field of vision, and Gordon took a few steps back uncontrollably, then rubbed his eyes.
But the hazy fog did not dissipate, but grew thicker, and after a short period of darkness, Gordon opened his eyes again, and the first thing he saw was a slowly rotating globe on the table, and then he turned his head, and saw Schiller holding an umbrella in one hand, pointing the tip of the umbrella at the neck of a blonde man.
Konstantin, who had been lying on the ground, stood in the center of the room at some point, and he was pointed by the tip of Schiller's umbrella, took two steps back, and raised his hands.
"I think you're wondering why you just came across that bottle and came to the dream......"
"So, why?" Konstantin looked into Schiller's eyes, his expression was rare and serious, and this expression usually only appeared when he was out of play.
"Before that, should you tell me what the hell are the tricks you're playing?"
Konstantin lowered his eyes, and his rare serious expression made him look a kind of melancholy and decadent handsomeness.
Konstantin bowed his head slightly, then looked at Schiller from above his eyes, and said, "I have heard of the professor's name for a long time, but I did not expect that you are more powerful than I thought. β
The two are about the same height and size, and they are both wearing long trench coats and ties, looking from the top of the room, when the two confront, the two completely different but somewhat similar auras are divided by umbrellas, and they clash fiercely.
Schiller's hand holding the umbrella stretched forward, and the tip of the umbrella touched Konstantin's Adam's apple directly, Konstantin raised his head with both hands, and said: "Don't do this, I admit it, I planted it this time, so I will tell you everything......"
Schiller held this position and paused for a moment, then "banged" the umbrella open, and the black umbrella surface blocked in front of Konstantin, and when Schiller put the umbrella away, Konstantin saw that Schiller's head turned into a slowly rotating globe.
Schiller snapped his fingers, and the scene of the room quickly faded, the floor turned from wooden planks to tiles, the walls were covered in a miserable white, and an iron chair fell in the center of the room.
Dressed in a psychiatric restraint suit, Konstantin sat in a chair, his legs, waist and neck secured, while a dazzling white light bulb was above his head.
Konstantin leaned his neck on the back of his chair, tilted his head and said, "Can I have a cigarette?" β
Schiller sat behind a desk, he had a medical record in one hand and a pen in the other, and the hand holding the pen snapped his fingers again, and Konstantin felt a cigarette appear in his mouth, and he took a hard puff, and the smoke spread between his mouth and nose.
He struggled a little, feeling the restraint of the restraint on his body, he sighed with some enjoyment, and said, "It seems that the two of us not only have a common topic in music, but also ...... other aspects."
Gordon was stunned for a moment, he showed a somewhat disgusted expression, but Schiller was completely unmoved, he said, "Tell me, what the hell is going on?" β
Konstantin moved again, made a "pop" sound from his mouth, blew on the ashes, then chose a comfortable position, leaned back in his chair and said: "It has to start with a romantic and deep dream......
"It was a winter in Liverpool and I watched the team game and bought a bottle of wine on the way home, but I didn't wait to get home and I drank it up, I collapsed on the side of the road, drunk and groggy and then I had a dream......
"It was a very clear dream, I haven't had it in a long time, most of the time, my dreams are always chaotic and dark, with so much noise that it makes my brain a mess."
"But that day, in that clear dream, a man appeared who claimed to be the 'Dream Maker,' and he said that he was a believer in the 'God of Oneiroi'.
"I've seen so many strange things that I'm not surprised, he said he wanted to invite me to the land of dreams and wake up the sleeping Oneiroi ......"
"He said I was already well-known in occult circles, you know, the kind of unnutritious touting, and I asked him what he could pay me, and he said that Oneiroi would reward me then."
"Even though he sounded like a cultist and a liar, I said yes to him, because I wanted to ask Oneiroi why he had never given me a good dream since I was born......"
And so. The two of us set off, and from my dream all the way down, we went through many difficulties and dangers, and saw all kinds of dream worlds, and finally, we came to the bottom of the dream world, which is what he called the dream country. β
"It was a beautiful place, with a magnificence that could not be described by all human imagination, and it was there that I met Oneiroi."
"He had been sleeping in the land of dreams, and the dreamer woke him up, and when he woke up, he told me that he could grant one of my wishes."
"But I didn't come to make a wish, I asked him why he never gave me a good dream, just the kind of good nights that all ordinary people have......"
"Faced with this problem, Oneiroi was silent, he asked me to change my wish, I said, I want to sleep with him."
"Ahem......" Gordon was choked directly, he coughed desperately with one hand against the wall, he never thought that such a dreamy and bizarre story would be this ending, he looked at Konstantin and said: "Didn't that Oneiroi kill you?" β
Konstantin ignored him, but tilted his head, looked at the light bulb above his head, and said, "If he can't let me have a sweet dream, then a spring dream can also be done." β
Batman was also silent, he couldn't evaluate this kind of person, although Bruce was also a playboy on the surface, and there was no beauty in Gotham that he hadn't flirted, but obviously, he still had some requirements for the object, at least it had to be a person.
But obviously, this man named Konstantin is not only taboo in meat and vegetables, but also in humans and ghosts.
Then, Oneiroi agreed.
"Ahem......" Gordon coughed violently again.
"We kissed together in the sanctuary of the Land of Dreams, and he whispered in my ear, and he said his name was 'Morpheus.'"
"The image of Oneiroi in people's eyes will change according to their imagination, and he will become something beautiful that I have never seen before......"
"And so, we beeped ββ, him in the sanctuaryββ, I beeped to himββ, and the two of us beeped ββ, his beep-beep ββ, meββ......"
Gordon stared at Schiller with wide eyes and said, "How can there be silence??" β
Schiller glanced at Batman, then turned his head and said, "Don't you see that there are still children here?" β
