Jason sits on the couch and eats a sandwich.

He was hungry, and the strange parasitic creature called the symbiote said to him in his head, "The body repair is 80% complete, and I'm not sure if you need me to ...... your imperfect body structure and muscle strength."

"Can it be enhanced?"

"Theoretically, you can, but after the enhancement, you will have a period of adaptation, and after the adaptation period has passed, you still need to exercise diligently and maintain your health......"

"You're verbose like Dick, do your job."

Jason turned his head to see Schiller coming up from the basement with a thick stack of papers in his hand, he walked over to the couch across from Jason and sat down, and placed the stack on the table.

"Do me a favor, Jason."

Jason frowned at the large pile of materials that seemed to be written in English, but he didn't really understand them at all.

As can be seen from the faintly visible picture above, it seems that this is some analysis report of medicine and biology, and Jason also saw a section of the organ that he had cut out with his own hands.

"What is this?"

"Medical Biology and Chemical Analysis Test Report."

"yes, I know, I mean, analyze what?"

"A substance that can be analyzed."

Jason took a bite of his sandwich and looked at Schiller with some confusion, a certain atmosphere of horror was gone, and he looked like an ordinary doctor.

Schiller stopped what he was doing, looked up at Jason and said, "Do you know the clown virus?" ”

"I've heard of it." Jason swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "But I don't think the Joker is a patient, he didn't have some disease to become so crazy." ”

"Very accurate understanding, Jason, but this madness of his is contagious, usually through death." Schiller glanced down at the information and said, "I told you before that I didn't come here just to treat you. ”

Jason stopped chewing and looked at Schiller, who also glanced at the document in Schiller's hand and said, "You want to study the Joker virus, and this is your deal with Batman?" He commissioned you to do this? ”

"Instead, he allowed me to study the clown and the clown virus, and I will do my best to treat you."

Schiller sighed lightly, looked into Jason's eyes and said, "You wouldn't want to know how much Batman paid me for it, if you had known me earlier, you would have known that I was very expensive." ”

"Isn't it money? What he has is money. Jason pouted.

"Not this time, Jason."

Jason's gaze immediately fell on Schiller's face, as if hoping that he would give an accurate answer, but Schiller shook his head, handed the documents in his hand to Jason and said, "Go ahead, bring these to Batman." ”

Jason had just finished a sandwich when he stood up and took the paper from Schiller's hand, and Schiller stood up as well, taking out the communicator that Batman had given him and saying, "I'll give him a call, and he'll send you his location, and you can ask him directly if there's anything." ”

Jason pursed his lips and rubbed his hand under his nose, looking a little uncomfortable, and he muttered under his breath, "I'm not interested in knowing." ”

"But you'd better show that he's getting his money's worth, trust me, Jason, it's more expensive than you think."

Soon, Robin and Nightwing pick up Jason from the island in a helicopter.

After Jason left, Schiller returned to the basement and took out a notebook from the filing cabinet, all the handwriting on it was not printed, but handwritten, and it was not as professional as those materials, but more speculation.

This is the most important purpose for which Schiller is here.

There was a Batman-Joker's law before, and the main content is: Batman's gaze will create a Joker, and the Joker comes from Batman's choice.

But later, after practical testing, Batman's gaze was a necessary condition for the production of the Joker, but not a sufficient condition, and the conditions for the birth of the Joker were very complex.

More often than not, Batman's gaze is just one of the factors that gave birth to the Joker.

Like a plate of stir-fried dishes, Batman's gaze is like a tomato that can be used to scramble eggs or stew meat, but can barely be a dish on its own.

So the question is, how did Schiller become a clown?

Of course, the process that Schiller knew in the past was that he was chosen the first time he met Batman in the universe he was in, which means that at that time he had already received Batman's gaze, and then he became a Joker.

But as mentioned earlier, Batman's choice alone is not enough, and even if it can, the fatalism and entanglement required are not something that can be achieved at the first meeting.

What's more, at that time, Bruce had just debuted, and he was not a very Batman's Batman, according to Batman's law of Joker aggregation, his gaze was not powerful enough to directly turn arrogance into a Joker.

Before knowing the truth about his origin, Schiller could only speculate that it might be that the Batman in his universe was more special, and that he was also a special traverser, and the combination of the two led to this disaster.

But after learning about the original body's earth-shattering wolf-gathering plan, Schiller realized that it might not be so simple.

It may not be an accident that he became a clown.

So if Bruce's gaze is a tomato, what is it that makes a dish with tomatoes?

Of course, Schiller admits that his own mental state cannot be called healthy, but Gotham has never lacked madmen, and if he is a local like them, then why himself?

And the common elements of the clown Schiller are the same, Schiller has no acting experience, has never performed comedy, is not from a circus, and has never fallen into the chemical pool.

If you look at the experience of his previous life from the perspective of ordinary people, then in addition to the ups and downs of his childhood, it is not a fatal joke, and if he has to say it, it is also fatal to others.

What's more, Schiller feels that his views are completely different from those of the Joker, who is somewhat vindictive against society, while Schiller has been trying to fit into the society of ordinary people.

If the experiences and perceptions are different, then another factor that causes Schiller to become a clown can only be physical.

Combined with the fact that the original body exploded in Gotham, it is really hard not to make Schiller think, could this also be part of the original plan?

While speculating on this, Schiller had another idea, and that was Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor once told Schiller about his encounter with the original Schiller.

At that time, it was Lex's father, Lionel, who asked Schiller, a psychologist, to treat his child, of course, not really to treat the disease, but just wanted to use Schiller's mouth to publicize that his son was sick.

At that time, Schiller may have felt compassion for the young Lex, and after discovering that Lionel had used an overdose of tranquilizers on him, he directly smashed Lionel with a vase to stun him.

Then came the important thing, Schiller injected Lex with a potion with a strong aroma, which Schiller speculated at the time might be the Dionysian factor.

But now Schiller has turned over the conversation between Lex and the original Schiller, and he has discovered a key point.

That is, the original Schiller once emphasized to Lex that this potion can make people feel crazy, and it is just right to treat Lex's numbness caused by overdose of tranquilizers.

Schiller has some knowledge of the Dionysian factor, because there is a whole wine pool under the Gotham Cathedral, which is basically full of Dionysian factors.

The Dionysian factor is actually a thing designed by DC's screenwriters in order to patch the Joker's self-healing ability, and Schiller thought it was a little strange at the time, and the main emphasis in the original comics was on the healing power of the Dionysian factor.

So could it be that the injection in the hands of the original Schiller at that time was not the Dionysian factor, or that it was not exactly the Dionysian factor?

Assuming that the biggest source of the Dionysian factor is Gotham's wine pool, and the original body's course of action is to go to the Metropolis first, and then to Gotham, then how could he take Gotham's specialties when he was in the Metropolis?

And there is another detail, Lex told Schiller that when the original Schiller took out the injection, he sighed, "There is only so little left."

And according to Lex's observation at the time, there was indeed very little liquid left in the injection, probably less than one milliliter, and it didn't look like there were only so many in the first place, more like what was left after use.

So where was this mysterious injection used before?

The big question is, what exactly is the mysterious injection in the hand of the original body, has it been used and where?

And after the combination, arrogance became a clown as soon as he was watched by Batman, and Schiller could only make a crazy guess - the injection in the hand of the original Schiller was not a Dionysian factor, but a clown virus, and he used this thing on himself.

This can also explain why Lex later became a Joker after getting Batman's gaze, because the combination of the Joker virus and Batman's gaze is the easiest to fry the Joker's dish.

This speculation sounds crazy, and to verify whether this is really possible, we must first understand what the clown virus is.

The easiest way to do this is, of course, to take a tube of Jack's blood, and Schiller believes that as long as the price is high enough, Jack doesn't care, but here again there is a question of experimental rigor.

First of all, Bruce is no longer Batman, so it is doubtful whether Jack, the Joker, is a pure clown.

Because the relationship between Batman and the Joker in this universe is not normal, the concentration of the Joker virus in Jack's body cannot be used as a standard for experimental data.

Then the principle is the same, the blood of Schiller, who was once chosen by Bruce, may also be not up to standard because Bruce gave up becoming Batman.

But if you want to draw blood from the standard Joker of other universes, to put it mildly, the biggest obstacle is not the Joker, but Batman.

Batman and the Joker are always inseparable, and under normal circumstances, it is not only thankless to want to break up the two of them, but it is also easy to be selected by the remaining one to become another person after separation.

Schiller didn't want to break them up after going around a giant ball of yarn and finding out that the clown was me.

So some conjectures have been lingering in Schiller's mind, but there is no chance to realize them, until Batman of the Arkham Knight universe finds Schiller.

At that time, Schiller quickly went through the experience of Arkham Knight Cosmic Batman in his head, and then he realized that it was really a sleepy pillow.

The Joker in this universe is dead, only Batman is left, and Batman is also infected with the Joker virus, dealing with a Batman is much easier than dealing with Batman and the Joker combined.

So Schiller not only agreed to Peter's request to go to the internship, but also told Peter that it was actually an exam, and Peter lived up to expectations.

Subject 1 plan, subject 2 lead the battle, subject 3 shake the pot, subject 4 stirred, a set of silky small combos, Batman really came to the West Heaven to invite Schiller Buddha.
