Chapter 769: Schiller the Match Seller (Part II)
It was still raining outside, so before leaving the dormitory, Victor took an umbrella and a raincoat, buttoning the hood of the raincoat to cover the rain that slapped on his face.
This is a lesson he learned after coming to Gotham, in the rainy night of Gotham, umbrellas are not completely protective against rain, at least, umbrellas other than Schiller's umbrella, not good.
Victor walked out the door, intending to check on who it was and lingering around the faculty dormitory so late.
He thinks that it might be a drunken student at a party, which often happens at Gotham University, and if he is left alone, he will most likely freeze to death on a rainy night in a typhoon.
Victor walked around the dormitory building and came to the direction of the dormitory window through the side path, but there was no one here.
Victor checked the ground and found that there were no obvious footprints, but there were some inconspicuous walking marks in the puddle next to it.
Following this trace all the way to the west, Victor found that this was already close to the laboratory building of Gotham University, he frowned, but there was no nervous look on his face, obviously, he had been prepared.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" in the middle of the second floor of the experimental building, and Victor quickly walked into the experimental building with an umbrella, came to the second floor, and then saw a stranger frozen into ice sculptures in the corridor.
It doesn't look like a student, except for the wrong age, and it doesn't look like it's dressed.
He wears a blue uniform with a white hood on his head and a furry rim that looks a bit like Inuit clothing, as well as a blue goggles with two black bars on his glasses.
This outfit stunned Victor, even in Gotham, which can be classified in the ranks of fancy dresses.
Victor glanced at the weather outside again, he was very sure that there was definitely no time when it was cold enough to wear such clothes, so why was the other party dressed like this? Protect yourself from your own refrigeration unit in advance?
But, Victor thought, when his freezer froze people, the people inside were not cold.
The biggest advantage of the freezer device is that everything inside can be completely maintained in its original state, and the freshness performance is first-class, and the people staying inside will not feel cold, but they can't move.
Victor came to this man, with one hand on his waist and the other hand carrying a freezing gun, showing a very puzzled expression, and he asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here?"
The man trapped in the ice sculpture was also very helpless, he had never seen such ice-making technology, although he himself was famous for making low temperatures.
Captain Cold, a villain also from Canterlot, has a Freeze Gun that can create absolute zero, and in a certain universe of the comics, he has teamed up with the Freezers to deal with Superman.
But now in this universe, whether it is the level of technology or social status, Captain Cold can only be said to be a low-level version of the Frozen Man.
After all, now the Freeze Man is no longer the Freeze Man, but Professor Victor, the guest of honor of the entire Gotham Gang.
It can be said that Victor Fries is absolutely safe walking on the streets of Gotham City at night, because all the gangsters will provide him with protection, and if something happens to him, he will invest in a huge cold storage, but no one will maintain it.
Since the last time the cryogenic lab nearly lost power, Victor has added a variety of protective devices to his lab, including the Cryo Ray Gun in two corridors.
There are not many people who come to the laboratory, and most of them are on the white list, even if there are occasional students who break by mistake, it will not cause any harm if they are frozen, and they only need to adjust the freezing gun to another gear to thaw it smoothly.
However, the person caught this time was obviously not a student who broke in by mistake, and it seemed that he was a wrongdoer with other intentions.
"How the hell did you do that?" Captain Cold in the Ice asked, "This can't be, how can this be ice?" How can ice not be cold?"
Victor took a closer look at him and saw that he was also carrying a gun in his hand, and at this time, the gun of the gun
Some white mist is coming out of the mouth.
Victor crouched down and looked closely at the gun, and from some of the parts, he could see that it should also be a gun that could be refrigerated.
"You're a cryologist too?" Victor looked Captain Cold up and down with his eyes, and Captain Cold snorted coldly and said, "Of course, no scientist in this world has the ability to create absolute zero in an instant......
Victor opened his mouth for a moment, he touched his chin, and said, "Haven't you been following journals lately?" Haven't you paid attention to the recent world of low-temperature physics?"
"Absolute zero is no longer a problem in low-temperature physics, only one of the six cutting-edge papers published recently is related to this, and the hottest topic now is dense ice, which may be the development direction of new materials in the future......
"To ...... Dense ice?" Captain Cold repeated the word and asked, "What's that?" Is it also a type of ice? As long as it's ice, it's ......."
Victor covered his forehead and said, "Are you really a physicist? Do you really not read any papers at all? And don't pay attention to the news in the industry?"
"Now, ice has been divided into two kinds of ice in the narrow sense and ice in the broad sense, the so-called narrow ice is what we often call ordinary ice, and the broad ice contains dense ice or the same special ice that can meet certain material requirements, and now, low-temperature physics is tackling the problem in the direction of materials science, you ......
Victor hesitated for a moment and said, "You are wearing this dress, probably because. You can't resist the low temperatures you've made, can you?"
Captain Cold immediately showed a gritted expression as he tried to tense his muscles and asked loudly, "So, how the hell did you do that?" How can ice not be cold, is it still ice if it is not cold?!"
"Do you think the ice must be cold?" Another voice appeared in the hallway, and Victor turned back, at the end of the hallway. Seeing Schiller's figure, he heard Schiller say:
"In this world, it's not what things are when they are born, they should always be what they are, ice is like this, people are the same, ice can change, people can be educated, I think, you just lack a certain education."
Schiller's voice grew colder and colder, and Victor unconsciously stepped back to get out of the way, and he saw that Schiller walked up to the ice sculpture of Captain Cold, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and then took out a pen, and asked, "Name?"
"Why should I answer you?" Captain Cold raised his voice.
"I guess you're here to pick up your friend, right? That guy called Sam?" Schiller said without raising his head, "I don't know if he told you that he now has the curse I left on him, and if I don't untie it, he will die tomorrow."
"You ......," Captain Cold said through gritted teeth, "you despicable creature! Murder is a crime!"
"Oh, I forgot, you people don't kill." Schiller glanced up, Captain Cold, and said, "But I'm sorry, I killed."
Both Captain Cold and Master Mirror belong to Canterlot's Rogue Gang, and the names of the Rogue Gang may sound a bit vicious, but in fact, these people are very principled.
The gang rules they formulated are even stricter than the student rules of elementary school, in addition to not killing people, they can't even defecate anywhere, and they can be said to be a group of villains with a fairly high moral bottom line in DC.
There are benefits to a high moral bottom line, but at the same time there are disadvantages, especially when they are locked up.
"Leonard Snyter." Captain Cold said reluctantly.
"Age? …… Forget it, it's definitely not the age to enter school anyway." Schiller drew a bar on this line and said, "But it doesn't matter, we don't look at age here, we look at level, your educational background is ......"
"High school graduate." Captain Cold replied.
Victor's eyes widened and he said, "You didn't go to college?? So how did you come up with this gun? The liquid storage technology here, and the launcher technology, are very advanced, very similar to the one I use now, and if you didn't have to go to college, where did you learn these things?"
chilly
The captain moved his eyelids, as if he didn't want to talk about it, but seeing Schiller and Victor staring at him all the time, he said, "My parents don't care about me, I went to prison and taught myself there."
Victor's eyes widened, he looked at him again, and said, "Self-study? Is this self-taught? This ......."
Suddenly. He took a deep breath, looked at Schiller and said, "Is the registration form filled?" I took him to the Academic Affairs Office to report to the Faculty of Technology, where he could adapt for two days, so that he could follow the first batch of students to be admitted to the Academy, and then he could see the scientific research qualifications......
Schiller handed him the registration form and asked with a smile, "Now, who is going to sell matches?"
Victor smiled, took the registration form, waved it in front of Captain Cold, and said, "Now, I can help you unfreeze, but you have to sign up with me......
"Sign up? What do you sign up for?"
"Sign up for college." Schiller replied, "Whatever your reasons for not going to university, now this professor, Victor Frees, the world's most famous cryologist, has judged that you have the potential to become a cryophysicist, and has extended an olive branch to you."
Before Captain Cold could say anything, Schiller continued, "I want to warn you in advance, this opportunity is only once, and if you miss it, you should be insulated from the academic world forever."
"I would say that I do want to learn this technique." Captain Cold replied, "It's amazing, it can freeze people in ice without feeling cold at all, I've never seen anything like it!"
"It seems that you don't need to force you to buy and sell." Schiller rolled his eyes. He looked at Victor and said, "Your luck is always better than mine."
Victor happily said, "Of course."
After Victor thawed Captain Cold with a freezer gun, he didn't run, but looked at the ice very seriously, and said, "How can this thing be solved? Will it melt?"
"No, it will sublimate directly, but it won't absorb heat, I can't tell you the exact principle right now, but you'll definitely learn it later."
And when they arrived at Victor and Schiller's office, Master Mirror and Captain Cold stared wide-eyed, Schiller stood between them, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and said, "I don't want to investigate, which of you called whom, since you are all enrolled, you are classmates, now go back to sleep, and class will start at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning......
Master Mirror and Captain Cold glanced at each other, and finally, the two left the office, and on the way to the dormitory, Master Mirror said, "What's the matter with you, how did you get caught by him?"
"He's got a new cryogenic technique that I've never seen before, but that's not the point...... Captain Cold looked left and right and said, "Sam, you're still young and don't know a lot of truth, you don't really think that you can get any good results from following that Savage, right?"
"But he's really an immortal! He knows a lot of things we don't understand, and he might really be able to rule the world!" The Mirror Master retorted.
"You think he's going to know a lot of things we don't understand, just because you know so little." Captain Cold said calmly, "Remember what I said?"
"Even if we want to be a villain who rules the world, we have to rely on our own strength, and others will never be reliable."
