Batman remembers that when he first debuted as a hero, one of them asked him what was the difference between him and the inactive cops if he needed proof?

And now, as he investigates, it turns out that what Schiller said to him was true, and that in Gotham, the law is not even a joke.

In other words, there was nothing that could be done against a man like Falcone, who had never killed anyone with his own hands, who had not even instigated a single person, who had not instructed a gunman to assassinate anyone.

All his enemies have been killed by others, swallowed by the jackals who want to follow him for the greater good, and Falcone, the uncrowned king of Gotham for decades, is much more innocent than everyone else.

This makes all the laws, trials, convictions seem like a joke, and those who kill for him, just driven by profit, help Falcone clear all obstacles to his progress, and Batman knows that even if he takes Falcone to court now, the judge will not be able to judge him.

It's like they can't try the killers of the Waynes.

While Batman was thinking more deeply about the meaning of law, he received a call from Schiller asking him to go to the office, and in an instant, this esoteric sociological question was forgotten by him, because he knew that he might face an even bigger problem.

When Bruce arrives at Schiller's office, he discovers that Lex is there, and he knows that this bigger trouble might be multiplied by two.

If there is one thing in this world that needs to be solved by him and Lex, Bruce has already begun to wonder, is Schiller a little dissatisfied with the position of the sun?

Bruce and Lex sat across from Schiller, and to their surprise, Schiller didn't mention the topic of moving the sun or the moon when he spoke, he just pointed to the top of his head and said, "Do you notice anything different there?" ”

Bruce and Lex looked up together, and then they noticed that the lampshade on the ceiling had been removed, and where the bulb was supposed to be placed, the bulb was missing.

"You should also know that Gotham University has had frequent power outages recently, and every time the power goes out and the power comes again, it is easy to burn out the circuit, and the light bulbs are also easy to break, which is the case with the new light bulb that we just replaced today."

Schiller stretched out his hand and waved it, motioning for the two of them to look at their surroundings, the whole classroom was now pitch black, but the light bulb next door was not broken, and a glimmer of light came through the window, so it was barely enough to see people.

"This is the environment in my office now, in order to improve the situation, I have established a research group, you are the first batch of researchers in the research group, and now there are two topics to choose from."

"First, let Gotham immediately return to normal weather with more than 8 hours of sunshine throughout the day......"

"I'll pick the second one." Bruce replied without hesitation, but Lex turned to look at him and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to answer?" Is it because you are not confident in your meteorology? ”

"Because I don't want to move the sun." Bruce replied with a blank face.

"Where do you need to move the sun? Wouldn't it be enough to disperse the clouds directly with chemicals? Don't tell me, you don't have the equipment to launch, didn't the Wayne family prepare early? ”

Bruce pursed his lips, he glanced at Lyx with sympathy, and sure enough, he heard Schiller say, "Well, since you have a difference of opinion, let's one person on one subject." ”

"I'll pick the second one." Bruce repeated, fearing that Schiller would change his mind and ask him to work on the first subject with Lex.

Fortunately, Schiller spoke, "Well, Lecks' choice is to completely change the weather in Gotham and make it a sunny day, so that even if the light bulbs occasionally break, the office will have enough light." ”

"No problem." Luxe agreed, he was even a little impatient, in his opinion, the subject that Bruce desperately avoided, if he could complete it, would prove that he was much better than Bruce.

Bruce looked at him again with sympathy, then looked at Schiller and asked, "What's the second subject?" ”

"Make a light bulb that stays on forever."

"A bat light will do." Bruce replied immediately.

Schiller choked on and asked, "You wouldn't really make a bat lamp with nuclear fusion, would you?" ”

Bruce looked down and began to study the pattern on the table, Schiller shook his head, and said, "I don't want to share a light bulb with the traffic light on the center turntable, that would be very unlucky, do you want my office to be destroyed three times a year?" ”

Schiller glanced at Leks, who was still here, and said to him, "Your topic is finished, now you can go to work, if I open the curtains tomorrow and can see a sunny day, I will give your final assignment an unprecedented excellent grade." ”

Lex paused, then quickly left his chair and walked out the door, Bruce once again looking sympathetically at his departing back.

After he left, Schiller took out a model of the original Ark reactor he had taken from Stark's lab.

Schiller put it on the table and said, "Don't say I won't open a small stove for you, take it, I want a light bulb like this, it shouldn't be difficult for you." ”

Bruce took the model, and at first, he didn't feel anything, until he saw a part of the internal structure through the gap, and Bruce narrowed his eyes to reveal the classic Batman expression, and then looked up at Schiller.

"It's not something you can make." Bruce is very blunt, but Schiller is not angry either, and in this regard, he does not contradict anyone, he really knows nothing about physics and engineering, and he has no interest in it.

"This is a friend of mine......"

"Where is he? What is your name? Male or female? Where to study? Where does it work? ”

"Stop, if you're going to ask for such details, I won't give you this kind of thing next time, I'm sure Lex will be interested in it too."

Bruce showed a rare hesitant expression, no scientist could refuse this kind of inspiration, especially listening to Schiller, this kind of opportunity more than once.

Resist your skepticism and get more technology and inspiration, or continue to follow your instincts, doubt everything, and push Schiller's, all the gifts, Bruce has to admit, and he's starting to struggle again.

A few times before, Schiller took out some technology out of thin air, and Bruce began to suspect it, but he really didn't have any good way to investigate, he could only expect Schiller to tell him, and now Schiller has shown his attitude, if he wants the truth, there is no technology, and if he wants technology, there is no truth,

Bruce's grip on the model grew tighter and tighter, and just as his hesitation was at its peak, he heard Schiller's devilish whisper:

"I deliberately drove away Lecks, not because I didn't think he had the technology to make the bulb I wanted, but because I felt that I had known you longer and knew you better than he did, and that the two of us were closer, so I chose to give this thing to you."

"I know you've never trusted me, or you don't trust anyone, and I can understand your attitude given your childhood trauma, but if I choose not to trust you as well, then it's Lykes who stays today."

"You should know that Lex is different from you and Clark, he is more like me, we both ignore the law and rules, and are not afraid to use means to break the bottom line and achieve what we want."

"So, you're going to meet one day, and it stands to reason that if I'm on his side, it's the best revenge for your distrust, but I don't want to do that."

"Why?" Bruce asked, looking into Schiller's eyes.

"Because, there is not only one goal after another in this world, and I don't have to use the highest efficiency to accomplish them, the reason why people are called people is because they use reason to judge the gains and losses of interests, but also pay attention to feelings."

"You mean, your feelings prompted you to make this decision?" Bruce's tone was a little stiff.

"If I judge this matter with pure rational thinking, then it would be better to give this thing to Lex, both to create an opponent for you and limit your development, and to find yourself a like-minded ally against your plans to deal with me one day."

"But I chose the other way, and that was to give this thing to you and make it clear why I chose it that way."

Bruce found that the office was still his nightmare, as he was faced with such a choice every time he was here.

He would rather Schiller hadn't made it all so clear, but now, Bruce already knew that Schiller had chosen sensibility between reason and sensibility, which in Bruce's opinion was not the right choice, but he was the beneficiary.

This confronts him with a dilemma, his brain, which is accustomed to rational thinking, tells him that Schiller is wrong to do this, and that his behavior and personality should not make him do so, so Bruce's brain begins to analyze Schiller's motives for doing so.

And Schiller's words have clearly told Bruce that his motive for doing this is emotion, and for a long time, this part of Bruce's brain is not working, and it is cut off by a thick gate.

Alfred's presence is the key to the door, and the relationship with Catwoman is to turn the key slightly, and Aisha and Dick crash into the door, causing the door to open a gap.

If everyone else is opening the door through external forces, what Schiller does is more like opening the door from the inside out.

Schiller watched Bruce's departing back, the model looming in the dark office, but because it was a structural model, not a real Ark reactor, it wasn't bright and didn't provide any light source.

But Schiller knew that with Bruce's genius, it wouldn't take long to light the Ark reactor.

And this ark reactor with countless contradictory thoughts illuminates not only a certain street, a certain room, but also something that has been hiding behind that door and peeping into the outside world.

If the bat must have insisted on lighting the lights in this dark city, Schiller didn't mind and replaced his bat lamp with a brighter bulb.
