In the space filled with white mist, a tall tower stands silently, like a reef washed by the sea for thousands of years, resolute, tall, and silent.

Looking through the gap in the gate, the interior of the tower is crowded with many figures.

Walking up the winding staircase, he stopped at the door of an ordinary office, and with a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and the greedy Schiller in a white coat leaned against the door, looked at the arrogance of sitting behind the desk in the room, and said:

"If it weren't for the stakes, I really couldn't stand working with you, when would you be able to fix your perfectionist fault? Please, Rome wasn't built in a day! ”

The arrogant man who was writing at the desk did not raise his head and said: "But Rome will be built one day, you are greedy, not lazy, when do you want to delay?" ”

"Anyway, so many years have passed, and you're not in a hurry for these few days, right? Seriously, I haven't even taken annual leave. Greedy Schiller shook his head and said, looking at the eyes that arrogantly looked at him, Greed stretched out his hands, waved and said, "Okay, I know you are in a hurry to be an ordinary person, I'll go up and see how lazy is." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out, and as soon as he turned around, he bumped into a figure in a trench coat, looked up greedily, and said in surprise: "Lazy? How did you get back? ”

Sloth gave a skinny smile and glanced at the arrogance of writing at his desk, then turned back to look at greed and said, "You should ask the guy who advised me to experience life in Gotham." ”

Greed raised an eyebrow and said, "I know Gotham is messy, but it's not like you've found your anger so quickly, right?" ”

"What's the trouble you're in?" Arrogant looked up and asked, he put down the pen and stood up from the table, but before he could answer lazily, he said to himself: "Forget it, it's nothing more than Batman doesn't write papers, has nothing to do, gangs fire and noise disturb the people, Merkel handles fertilizer too often and other things, I'm used to it." ”

Arrogant walked to the door, picked up his coat from the hanger and put it on, and as he walked out, Lazy silently stepped back, making way for him, and smiled at him.

Arrogant felt inexplicable, he glanced Lazy up and down, shook his head slightly, and left the room.

When his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Lazy wanted to leave, but was caught by Greed, looking at Lazy's expression, Greed slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid what you encountered is not an ordinary trouble, right?" ”

Lazy gave him another smirk, and then said, "Does Gotham have ordinary trouble?" Quickly let go of me, I'm going to retreat. ”

Greed showed a puzzled expression, but when he was distracted, Lazy tore his hand away, and disappeared, Greed shook his head and said, "Forget it, arrogance has been fused and has become much stronger, even if there is any trouble, he should be able to deal with it." ”

The arrogance who was walking towards the elevator, the mood was actually very good, he finally solved a long-standing big problem, from the original two pieces of fragments into one, and more importantly, the smooth fusion process was beyond his expectations.

It's not so simple to merge with the Joker, his soul is synonymous with madness, but fortunately, the polluted fragment was originally arrogant, and there is a natural attraction between the two arrogant fragments, and those crazy factors did not pollute the whole fragment.

In fact, Schiller is still a clown, but the fusion with arrogance allows him to take the essence of the clown traits and discard the dross.

Before, because Schiller was chosen by Batman and became a Joker, there are many characteristics of the Joker, but there are two most important of them, one is the Batman Joker aggregation law, which is nothing to explain, that is, literally, where there is Batman, there will be Joker, and where there is Joker, there will be Batman.

The second is the less obvious, but very stable "immortality", as a very important villain in the original book, the clown can fake his death, he can disappear, but he can't really die forever.

Schiller suspects that neither Marvel nor the death of the DC world can take him away, and this may be the reason.

If he is really just an ordinary time-traveler, even in the DC world, because he is not in fate and is not controlled by death, the death of the Marvel universe is unreasonable to avoid him.

At the beginning, Marvel's goddess of death made it clear to him that he was not welcome in the Dead Realm.

In other words, the goddess of death is not willing to accept him at all, Schiller has thought about the reasons, but the most obvious thing is that he has a clown in his soul, and Marvel's death has taken away his soul, where to put the clown?

What's more, there is a lack of important popular characters next door, and if the clown needs to be resurrected another day, will the dead country be directly punched out of a hole by the clown? Or one day, in the realm of the dead, a mud cart with a bat logo suddenly appeared?

Schiller suspects that Marvel's goddess of death does not accept it, and he is likely to have OAA's instructions, after all, the popular character next door dies in his own home, and I am afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble.

The reason why Schiller chose to merge with the Joker's soul trait fragment, rather than find a way to directly destroy this half of the fragment, is precisely because he sees the immortality of this identity, no matter where he is, no matter what situation he faces, the Joker will always have a way out.

But Schiller is really fed up with this inexplicable Batman clown aggregation law, and if he doesn't get rid of this law, he doesn't want to go anywhere, he doesn't want to do anything, he can only guard Batman every day and torture each other with him.

So, he chose to use half of the fragments to merge with the other half, and took the initiative with his arrogant traits, so that he could retain the identity of the clown and gain a certain autonomy to do what he wanted.

Comparing the situation of DC and Marvel, it will be clear that Marvel's Schiller often takes the initiative to fight for the interests of mankind, connects various forces, and arranges the positive and negative characters in the right position, so the Marvel world is much more dynamic.

But DC Schiller is always involved in a bunch of troubles in Gotham because of the law of convergence with Batman, and he can't leave if he wants to.

Not to mention taking the initiative to do something, the farthest place he went to, that is, the West Coast, the whole world has not changed much, it is still lifeless, in the past four years, Schiller has not even improved his title, almost in the same place.

The only good news is that Batman's condition is better, but the world does not revolve around Batman, Schiller actually has a lot of things he wants to do, but because of the trouble caused by Batman, he can't take the initiative at all, which causes the progress to lag behind greed.

This is very intolerable arrogance, so when he was able to merge with the Joker's trait shards, he immediately did so, and joined forces with greed to upgrade the lazy trait shards and let him go up to lead the class, so as to stabilize his mental state as quickly as possible.

Now his arrogance can be said to be full of ambition, he has prepared a lot of plans, and he plans to expand the map, connect various forces, and stir up the universe.

When he came to the elevator manager's office, he didn't even knock on the door, he pushed the door directly, stuck his head in and said, "Go to the top floor." ”

With that, he slammed the door shut and walked briskly towards the elevator, for his soul was full of energy, and all kinds of plans as complex as a ball of yarn kept circling in his mind, so that he was still pondering as the elevator rose to the top floor and gradually regained consciousness.

The bright white light gradually dissipated from his eyes, and Schiller was like a person who had just woken up, although he had seen the picture, but his brain had not received the information for the time being, and when he regained consciousness, the picture he had seen a few seconds ago and the information he was receiving now poured into his brain, making him react for a long time.

And after Schiller's brain processed this information, Schiller's first reaction was ...... There was no reaction, and he was directly stunned in place.

He couldn't understand why he wasn't in his office at Gotham University, or in his bedroom at Rodriguez Manor, but in the ruins of a battlefield that looked like it had been ravaged by some monster????

After discovering this fact, Schiller's nerves tensed instantly, and he wondered, could there really be some dangerous people invading Gotham University? The laziness that just escalated can't cope with it, so he hid back in the tower?

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not right, it was impossible for any personality fragment in the Thinking Tower to choose to switch personalities in a dangerous situation, which was irresponsible for the safety of Schiller.

Schiller's personality traits are like luncheon meat in a can, if the shell of the can is destroyed, all the fillings in it will not last long, the so-called cold lips and teeth, it is exactly like this, even a crazy clown, it is impossible to ignore the safety of the flesh, forcibly hide back in the tower.

Since Laziness chose to switch at this time, it means that it is safe now, Schiller looked left and right, and everywhere he looked, it was indeed ruins, which could not be said to be safe no matter how he looked at it.

In order to find out what was going on, Schiller had to choose to look through the memories of the past time.

He had just wanted to take a cursory look at the reason for his visit, but the first scene he saw was when Victor told him that Bruce had transferred to the physics department and had turned in a paper in two days.

I have to admit that after getting along for so long, Batman knows his teacher too well.

He knew very well that when Schiller turned over the old accounts, he was accustomed to turning them from front to back, and the order of revenge was the same as the order of turning over the old accounts, and he left the scene without looking back, precisely because, according to the chronological order, Schiller must have turned to him first.

It turns out that Batman's choice is very wise, and Schiller was angry when he saw Victor's evaluation of Bruce, but unfortunately, Batman is not on the scene now, even if he wants to settle the account, he can only wait first.

Flipping further back, Schiller saw the part where someone kept calling to harass him, and of course, he knew almost without inference that it was Silence, Thomas Elliott, who called.

As soon as Schiller's gaze fell on Elliott, whose face was bandaged, a police car stopped at the intersection, and Gordon took the officers to handcuff Silent and press him into the police car.

Immediately afterwards, there is the murder in the hospital, and the black mask Roman is also involved, and Roman is not at the scene, if nothing else, he should have been brought to justice.

Schiller continued to flip back, and then he saw a childish face—Harley Quezel.

Schiller, who was standing in place, slowly took a deep breath, looked down at his dusty clothes, stretched out his hand, and gently dusted off his trench coat.

And Harley, who was poking her brain outside the door, let out an amazing scream the moment she saw his eyes.

"Professor??!!"
