Chapter 1275: Lonely Shadows in Pairs (15)

The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became delicate, and the tense atmosphere where the whole audience was focused on one person suddenly disappeared, and everyone took their attention back, as if they had their own thoughts, each had secrets, and seemed to be a little uneasy.

"Oh, I see!"

Schiller suddenly raised his voice, and it was very obvious that the hands of several people holding cups next to him were clenched tightly, as if they had suddenly heard an alarm in a dream.

"I know that the slightly chaotic law and order situation in Gotham makes you not very confident in the FBI, and the FBI really doesn't like to set its sights on here."

"But I think it's actually unjustifiable, and the FBI should treat every city in every state the same, rather than abandoning it because it's hard to maintain law and order in a particular city."

"Of course, I can understand that the high morality and compassion of the victims do not want to add to the burden of the institutions that maintain national security, but it doesn't matter, I have good relationships with some of my colleagues in Congress, the Department of Defense and Security, and the FBI, and I can certainly help you with your problems......

"Mr. Schiller." Bruce interrupted Schiller, whose slightly deep voice sounded like a beautiful song to the crowd, interrupting Schiller's demonic whispers.

"Yes, it's a serious matter." As soon as Bruce opened his mouth, everyone's eyes darkened, and the two old men standing at the back of the stairs were so anxious that they almost stomped their feet, and they wanted to rush up immediately and cover Bruce's mouth.

"The FBI is a problem everywhere." Konstantin pouted and commented: "Nobody likes to deal with them, it's best if the FBI doesn't target here, and everyone can get along well, but if they have to come, even if they can't find anything, it's annoying enough." ”

"Don't think I don't know, those big families in Gotham have more or less black industries." Hal rolled his eyes and said: "It's the same with Seaside City, the families with a little bit of power are not in collusion with the smugglers, how much effort did they spend so that the FBI didn't pay attention to this, Schiller wants to lure the wolf into the house, can they not be in a hurry?" ”

"More importantly, the professor's performance convinces others that his position at the Department of Defense and Security is indeed significant." Diana spoke.

"Gotham is indeed like a three-way zone, but after all, it is still on federal soil, and it is impossible to really be completely autonomous, and the FBI can't control Gotham, and can't it control the few ports that have logistics exchanges with Gotham? In terms of logistics, no one should think about it. ”

"It seems that this is the purpose of Batman's invitation to Schiller's banquet, he expected that March would set up a game for him, wait, the show has just begun." Greed's voice echoed with a smile.

"Especially the tragedy that happened to Mr. March......" Bruce changed his style and looked at March beside him, "This gentleman has a sincere heart to participate in the construction of Gotham, but he has been persecuted by this kind of injustice, and I think he must need the FBI to come here to do justice for him." ”

Schiller also turned his gaze to March's face, and before March could speak, he rushed ahead and said, "Oh my God, sir, why didn't you talk to me about this when you talked to me yesterday?" You really shouldn't have to hide such an important situation from your psychiatrist, it would lead me to misjudge your psychological condition. ”

"Of course, your situation is not a mental illness, but some of the anxiety that ordinary people are prone to, and I dare say that everyone here will have some such emotions to some extent."

"But if this emotion comes from a physical injury that you have suffered, in addition to anxiety, I also have to make the inference of 'PTSD,' which my professionalism requires me to do."

"No, I'm not ......"

March had already noticed the change in the gaze of the people around him, and there was no doubt that a little mental illness in Gotham was not a big deal, or that it was more or less a serious illness to stay here.

But because of being injured by a killer, mental illness occurs, and even leads to post-traumatic stress disorder, just because of a little injury, you have to see a psychiatrist, which is simply the most frustrating and despicable mental illness, sick without thought, sick without personality.

March gritted his teeth, he wanted to say very much, he didn't go to the psychiatrist at all, and he didn't allow Schiller to talk about his situation, but the words went around in his mouth and he swallowed them back into his stomach.

Schiller is a psychiatrist, so he went to Schiller, not to see a doctor, but for what? To enjoy the thrill of fooling the police after a killing? Blew himself up on the spot, right?

"Hahahaha!" Hallie was already half-smiling, and she laughed as she said, "This idiot got himself in!" In order to embarrass Batman, he himself said that he was seriously injured by the killer, and Schiller took the opportunity to imply that he went to see a psychiatrist because he was afraid of pain and death, and he couldn't explain it, hahahahaha! ”

"What can he say? He can't say, I killed someone, I want to show off in front of others, and this person happens to be a psychiatrist! But if he says that, maybe this group of people will look up to him a little bit, hahahahahaha! ”

As Harley said, the eyes of the people around her have changed a little when they look at March, and it's still the same sentence, in Gotham, you can't show weakness.

In the dark forest of the jungle, you can also go to the doctor, because of your madness, because of your anxiety, because of your doubts and incomprehension, but only because of fear.

Gradually, March found that that contemptuous look was gradually changing to another emotion, that is, greed, what would happen if a group of hungry wolves found out that there was a sheep in wolf's clothing among the wolves?

March felt that the bright light no longer provided him with a sense of security, and in the darkness of the night, pairs of bright torch-like eyes lit up, staring covetously at the lamb that exposed his weakness.

"Ahem." Bruce's soft cough broke the increasingly strange atmosphere, and he stepped forward, shoulder-to-shoulder with Schiller, then turned to look at Schiller, who turned to look at him.

March has been completely excluded from the two of them, which is obviously another sign that March has lost all initiative in this conversation, and there is only one last step left to be kicked out.

"As a friend of Mr. March, I'm sympathetic to what he's going through, and it's my fault that he's hurt within the Wayne Group." Bruce lowered his head, looking guilty.

"To be honest, I didn't expect that when he felt sad, he didn't come to me to talk to me for the first time, but found you."

"Actually, I was quite surprised." Schiller nodded lightly and said, "I have only been in Gotham for a short time, and I have my first patient, and Gotham is not as close to people as outsiders say. ”

"They're mocking March as a traitor." Bruce in the theater opened his mouth to explain: "If something happens, I don't discuss it with my own people at the first time, but I go to find an outsider, and he is an outsider who has just arrived and is not known by anyone, and even reveals what is happening inside Gotham, a complete traitor." ”

"Sometimes, I don't understand you Gotham, you always like to treat each other as enemies, fight to the end, never die, but I hate outsiders to interfere with your mutual torture, as if in some ways they are inseparable, closer than allies." Clark spoke out about his feelings.

"Hit the nail on the head." Konstantin commented: "If you haven't been to Gotham, you haven't seen real madness." ”

On the screen, Bruce and Schiller say a word, one sings red-faced, the other white-faced, and doesn't mention March, but they mention March, until they completely portray March's character as a cowardly, reluctant, and traitor who asks for help from outsiders when he is frightened.

In the end, March couldn't stay in the center of the venue any longer, so he gritted his teeth and found a slightly lame reason to leave.

And after he left, everyone's disdain for him deepened, because in such an occasion he should not find any excuse but to leave the game with the wine on his clothes.

As Diana commented, March's body reveals a sense of awkwardness that is inconsistent with words and deeds, and onlookers also have a straightforward feeling about it at this moment.

"A beautiful combo." Pathology finally spoke: "But it's not over yet, Batman has to deal with the FBI-related issues, can't resist, but can't accept either, and at the same time has to be reasonable and decent enough." ”

"Regarding the FBI, I think we can think about it again." Bruce shook the wine in his glass, but did not lower his voice, still looking confident, and said, "Of course I believe in the ability of the FBI, but don't you think it's completely superfluous to get them to send agents here?" ”

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"You're a professor at the Trainee Agent Training Academy, and you've been in this position for many years, which means that the FBI's current elite backbone agents are all your students, so why bother adding to it when the teacher is already here?"

A round of applause came from the back of the theater, greedily bowing his head, smiling and clapping, and this applause also resounded in everyone's hearts, and I have to admit that this answer is indeed reasonable and decent.

It not only elevates Schiller to a high position that he cannot refuse with a strong attitude, but also plays a logical trick that describes the teacher's ability as the sum of the student's ability, emphasizing the notion that the teacher must be greater than the student, so as to erase the necessity of coming here again as a student's agent.

After all, according to this logic, the teachers who taught so many agents are here, if the teachers are not good, what is the use of the students?

"Professor Schiller, as I said before, people's attention to mental health is a sign of social progress, and I think everyone should take it seriously, especially myself."

Bruce suddenly changed the subject, but Schiller understood his hint, so he stepped forward and looked into Bruce's eyes and said, "Yes, Mr. Wayne, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to get a business card of yours so that you can remember what you said today when you have doubts about psychology?" ”

Bruce turned silently, took the card holder from his special waiter, pulled one out of it and handed it to Schiller, who also took the card in silence and put it in the pocket of his suit.

Schiller touched the side of Bruce's glass again, lifted it and took a sip, and this time, Bruce also picked up the glass and opened his mouth to drink.

When the glass was raised, the wine flowed to the side of the wall, and both of them looked at each other through the blurred glass of the glass and the clear and sparkling wine in the light.

At the same time, in the eyes of the other party, I saw the joy of the victory of the close confidant through perfect cooperation, and also saw the fact that the enemy of life and death had several confrontations, and under the undercurrent, the killing intent was not shocked.
