Chapter 473: When Schiller Finds a New Street Lamp (Part II)
By the time Batman got out of the car in a slightly embarrassed way, his understanding of the vehicle's emergency safety system had improved to a new level.
He shook his slightly dizzy head, opened his eyes, and walked to the side of the car, trying to fish out the clown.
But at this time, he found that the door of the back seat had disappeared in the explosion, leaving an opening for people to get out, and when he was fighting with the airbag, the clown had already sneaked away from behind.
Batman took a deep breath and looked through the Batmobile at the crater in front of the stairs that had been blasted by several rockets.
Then he looked up again and looked around to make sure that this was indeed the waiting hall of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, not some Gotham Yin Lizabeth Street or the Living Hell Water House.
In the same time that he broke free from the car, the situation in the entire Arkham Psychiatric Hospital changed again.
Because the ghost appeared on the third floor, the patients on the third floor took the lead, and after the fourth and fifth floors were alarmed, they provided fire support to the third floor, and the poor ghost did not last long, it turned into a faint green light and disappeared in place.
However, the Gotham people have always had a strong sense of mending knives, and in order to ensure that the ghost has been completely killed, they have used some safe and compliant weapons to completely sanitize.
Most of the patients here are uneducated, they don't know much about load-bearing walls and building mechanics, and they hit a corner of the wall to death, not only with guns, but also with explosives, and as a result, the corner of the corridor on the third floor was blown down.
Fortunately. Arkham Psychiatric Hospital is not a high-rise building, and the overall building is very large and stable, and it did not collapse because a corner of the wall was cracked.
But what is more unfortunate is that the ceiling on the third floor is also the floor of the fourth floor, and after this floor collapses, the unlucky egg in the corresponding room on the fourth floor falls directly to the third floor and is injured by the falling floor slab.
Many of these people on the third floor were the subordinates of the smashed people, and when they saw that their boss was injured, of course they hurriedly ran up to defend it, and angrily accused the others of going too far.
"Fisherman! Do you have eyes on your nose?! Can't you see that the corner of the wall is cracked? And dare to throw a grenade?? ”
"Shut your mouth, Lawrence! You're just like your dad, you're a soft egg in the West End, who the has to see if the corner of the wall cracks when it's hot?? ”
"You Pelicans are just looking for trouble! When the water was first distributed, you robbed us of both pipelines, and for Dr. Schiller's sake, I didn't bother you here! ”
"I'll shoot you in the head, Antonio! Is there a place for you to speak? Have you forgotten how your uncle died? ”
"Shut your foul mouth, fisherman! Bang! ”
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Dada......da
Suddenly, the whole corridor became a mess, everyone picked up weapons nearby and started to fire, the whole corridor was lit by fire as if it was day, the whole scene could not be said to be peaceful negotiations, friendly exchanges, or revenge, revenge.
The fire on the third floor began, and the fourth floor did not escape, and soon, the people in the four districts of the southeast, northwest, and west of the living hell began to fight fiercely, and the four giants of Yin Lizabeth Street joined the melee, and the leaders of the twelve families also wanted to help, and the entire Arkham Psychiatric Hospital was a pot of porridge.
In an office at the far edge of the second floor, a thin figure held the phone and said to the other end:
"Yes, I'm looking for Copote...... Yes, please tell the boss, the situation here is a bit chaotic, and he had better come over himself......"
"Well, in the beginning, it was the fisherman in the Southern District, you know him? It was the bearded man who suddenly shot and said there was a ghost, and the people on the third floor said they saw a ghost......"
“…… I don't know about that, because I didn't see it with my own eyes, and after they got into a fight, they asked me to go upstairs and call the others......"
"That's right, that's what I thought, if you hit it too hard, the doctors and nurses will be angry......
"If he's coming, he'd better ......hurry up," said the freckled little boy, turning his head to look out the window.
"Look at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to snow again."
Looking out the window, a crystal snowflake slowly fell in the dark sky, followed by more snowflakes.
When the snow falls, everything is silent, but when the breeze gradually rises, the snow turns into sharp blades, with a heart-warming sound of breaking the air, rolling up the thin ice of Gotham's road that has not yet melted, and speeding all the way to the Gotham Manor area.
The atmosphere in Schiller's manor was still quiet and peaceful, the flames of the fireplace were rising, leaving all kinds of shadows on the walls behind him, and Hal looked at the dancing shadows a little distracted, but quickly. Schiller led Dick and Aisha downstairs.
Merkel immediately stepped forward and said to Schiller: "Mr. Haarr has been waiting for a while"
"Oh, it's okay, I came too early." Hal hurriedly said.
"Nope." Schiller patted Dick on the back and said, "The knowledge points I talked about today are more important, so I put it off for a while, I hope you don't mind." ”
"But why did you pick them up?" Schiller asked, a little confused, "What about Alfred?" ”
"Oh......" Hal gave a look of embarrassment, rubbing his hands, and said, "It's the Wayne family's business, I don't think I can ......"
Schiller looked at him from the top of his glasses, and Hal sighed and said helplessly, "Well, Alfred has gone to Konstantin for trouble." ”
Schiller winked at Merkel, who immediately walked up to Dick and Aisha and said, "Miss, and young master, Mr. Rodriguez has recently bought two new picture books, let's go to the study and have a look." ”
After the two children were gone, Hal sat back on the couch, leaning against the soft back of the couch and sighing. said: "You should know that Batman has been investigating that Konstantin ......"
"His method of investigation is to spend all his free time to follow him, and it seems that he has been following him very closely lately."
"Alfred was dissatisfied with this, originally, I didn't understand it very well, I think, Bruce is also an adult, and it is his own choice to do what he wants, but later I learned that Konstantin actually ......"
Hal showed a rather speechless expression, with a hint of disgust in his helplessness, and said, "He's playing a little too much, and if I were Alfred, I wouldn't let Bruce touch this kind of person." ”
"So, Alfred is going to warn Constantine?"
Hal pursed his lips, remembering Alfred's expression as he went out, and the shotgun in his hand, and said:
"The word warning may not be very accurate......"
"But why did he go today?"
"I didn't dare ask, but I heard on the radio that the guy named Joker seems to have planned some kind of explosion, and he should be dragging Batman down, and Alfred knows this, so he has enough time to 'warn' Konstantin."
"And ......," Hal hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think Alfred would have been so impulsive before, but since he went to the Met and came back, he seems to be in a bit of a bad mood, do you know why?" ”
Schiller looked down at the pattern on the table, and Hal showed a skeptical expression, but his eyes were not as lethal as Batman, and if Schiller didn't say it, he couldn't help it.
"Oh, yes." As if he had suddenly remembered something, Schiller said to Hal: "Originally, I wanted to find a time to invite you over, but since you are here to pick up the children today, it is just right." ”
"What?"
Schiller dug into his coat pocket, and then took out a piece of ore that glowed green.
Seeing this strange ore, Hal instinctively ducked to the side for a while, but soon, his eyes widened, staring directly at the ore, and then said, "This is...... Green light energy? ”
"That's right." Schiller nodded and acknowledged this, saying, "I have gained a lot from this trip to the Metropolis, the most important of which is that I got an ore. ”
"This ore was originally intended for some people with superpowers, which can weaken their abilities, but after some processing by me, they have become ...... Such. ”
So saying, Schiller took out a clear and colorless crystal from another pocket, and he turned the crystal around, and then said:
"Some gluttonous eats the energy here, but spits out the ore itself as a peach pit."
"Before, the radiation here was also green, and the energy of the green light was also green, so I thought, can this ore also carry the energy of the green light?"
"After some experimentation, I found that my speculation was correct, that this ore could indeed be a carrier of green light energy."
Hal stopped talking, thought for a while, and asked suspiciously: "Let's not talk about this, where did you get the green light energy?" ”
"Oh, you say this, I suffer from a rare mental illness called split personality, and I happen to have a personality in several of my personalities who can call a green light ring, so I called a green light ring and did a little experiment......"
Hal looked at the mineral full of green light energy, he had also been a green lantern, knowing the nature of green light energy, he shook his head and said:
"The amount of green light energy carried in this thing in your hand is not what a green light ring can provide."
"I didn't say it was provided by a ring."
"But ......," Hal said with his hand outstretched, "Well, even if you have some mental illness and have many personalities, the green light recognizes the Lord according to the number of flesh, and there will be no two green light rings to find the same light man." ”
"Moreover, the green light rings are all with safety locks, and the green light energy can only stay in the ring, or be instilled into the body of the lantern man by the ring, and there is no way to extract it, if everyone can extract the green light energy from the ring, wouldn't it have been messed up a long time ago?"
"That's true."
To Hal's surprise, Schiller not only did not deny it, but also admitted it very seriously, saying: "What you say is true, but how I did all this has to start with you." ”
"Start with me?" Hal was completely confused.
Schiller played with the green hedron in his hand and said in a light tone: "Remember what happened after you broke into Wayne Manor? ”
"Remember is remember, but how do you know? …… Oh, I see, Dick, little traitor, he told you everything! ”
"Yes, including the embarrassment you felt when you were pointed at a shotgun and begged for mercy."
Hal lowered his face and muttered in a low voice, and Schiller continued, "Remember how the ring fell off your hand? ”
"Aisha attacked me and bit me on the arm, and I tried to throw her out, but she flew out with my ring...... Wait, you're not ......"
