Chapter 2104: The Night of the Knight's Horror (46)
When Peter came to the island hut again, Schiller was in the kitchen getting himself food, and as soon as he walked in, he found that the familiar doctor Schiller had returned.
So he immediately began to wail, threw himself into the soft couch like a mess of mud and said, "I got into trouble, I didn't mean to reveal Batman's identity, and I didn't stop the group of reporters, it's too hard." ”
Schiller placed his freshly mixed vegetable salad in front of Peter, then walked over to make hot tea from the kettle and said, "Don't worry too much, Peter, maybe things will work out on their own." ”
Peter sat up like a corpse and stared at Schiller standing on the edge of the kitchen island, and Schiller looked back at him, and after about ten seconds, Schiller smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm doing it for your own good." ”
"Sure enough, it's you, doctor, I know! The entire house of Wayne Manor was razed to the ground, everything was burned down, how could that picture still be so complete! ”
Peter took the pillow next to him and pressed it to his face, snorted twice more and said, "Is this really good?" Leaking their true identity can be dangerous for superheroes, and they ...... They ......"
"They're spreading some peachy rumors that used to go between you and Stark." Schiller placed a cup of hot tea in front of Peter and said, "Peter, you may think that this method is a bit out of line, but I told you that all my plans for today have insurance behind them, do you think I only publish photos?" ”
Peter looked at Schiller's face with some confusion, Schiller sat on the sofa opposite and smiled and said, "What do you think is the biggest conflict between Batman and the rest of the Bat family?" ”
"They're so bad at communicating." Peter complained, "I'm not denigrating anyone, but the wear rate of the organ under their nose is so low that the wear and tear rate of the organ in their braincase is higher than that of others." ”
"Very politely described, Peter." Schiller nodded and said, "In short, because of their personalities, they are not good at communicating, but people close to them always need to understand each other, so they see each other in their own way, guess their actions, and then respond, but usually this response is not right." ”
"I think they should make a change." Peter emphasized: "And it's an immediate change, like sitting down and talking, is it really that hard? ”
"Peter, I think you're right, but maybe you're missing something." Schiller first soothed Peter, and then said, "Would you say to a person with major depressive disorder, 'Look away, you should make a change'?" ”
Peter showed a hesitant expression, he said: "I would hope so in my heart, but as far as I know, major depressive disorder has involved somatic reactions, and it is not a problem that can be solved by simply thinking about something, otherwise there would be no depression patients in this world." ”
"That's exactly the case, so you should see the bat family as a whole, and the various contradictions in this whole are like the lesions that occur in a person's body."
"So what you have to do is not to heal your head and feet, and not to stand next to him with a loudspeaker and shout at him, you have to cheer up, keep your head clear, and face unhealthy relationships."
"So how?"
"Get a doctor, of course." Schiller took a sip of tea and said, "This doctor may not have a high level of professionalism, but he must be an absolutely impartial third party, or he just needs to be impartial and strong." ”
"Oh, I see." Peter suddenly realized and said: "If you have a headache because of an unhealthy schedule, then you don't need someone with a successful career to guide you in the future, you just need a healthy friend who has a good habit of going to bed early and waking up early to help, encourage and supervise you to adjust your routine." ”
Schiller smiled and nodded, and at this time his cell phone rang, and he picked it up and said, "Hey, Mr. Kent, no, don't be sorry, it's human nature." ”
"I do have concerns, you know, everything involving the Wayne Group has to be cautious enough, I'm going to make sure I'm safe first, I hope you understand."
"Yes, I read in the Gotham Daily that you reported on the sexual assault case in the Met, and believe me, that was the best result, and if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have called you."
Schiller listened in silence for a moment of Clarke's account, then said, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying about polygraph monitoring devices, and I don't quite agree with this speculation because it sounds so amazing." ”
Schiller paused for a long time before he said, "Mr. Kent, I want you to understand that it's one thing to call you after the accident and hope that you can help the possible victims, and let me collect the evidence myself......"
Peter heard the voice on the other end of the phone excitedly say something, Schiller listened attentively throughout, and finally he said, "I can't deny that I do have a few friends who can help, but I really can't make sure ......"
"Do you want to do something impulsive? I'm afraid I have to express to you that I don't support it, it's not a good choice to confront Bruce Wayne head-on, you could be charged for slander or intentional harm......"
Schiller was silent for a long time before he said with some hesitation: "Yes, I am a psychologist, so I will find out from the few facts revealed by the media that they may have a not-so-healthy relationship." ”
"I admire you for your character, Mr. Kent, and I will do my best, but I cannot guarantee that I will find any substantial evidence, no, sir, please be safe, goodbye."
Peter, who was on the other side, had already sat up completely, crossed his arms and squinted at Schiller, and said, "You put the photo, you led the reporter, and now you seem to have another person in trouble with Bruce Wayne, I really don't understand what you want to do, doctor." ”
"Don't talk like you understand." Schiller blew on his tea and said, "I'm pretty sure that after the two of us have done so much in his Gotham, the first thing he did when he returned to Gotham was to give us a long and astonishing loss quote, and all the things on it added up to just as much as your internship salary." ”
"Well......" Peter said with some humility, "it is not unreasonable, after all, we do ......"
"That's right, what you did did really break a lot of things, and my treatment of Jason is likely to make him very psychologically hurt, and monetary compensation is not unacceptable."
Peter stared at Schiller across from him with round eyes, as if he didn't know him, how could such words come out of the doctor's mouth?
But Schiller's map of the Yan Kingdom was too short, and it soon showed sharp fangs.
"But that doesn't mean we can't create another job for ourselves before he returns, and at the same time be exclusive, unique, irreplaceable, and then earn back all at once what he might have withheld from your salary and what should have been paid to me."
Clark hung up the phone, laid Jason on the couch after he had knocked him unconscious, and then retrieved a blanket from the cabinet next to him to cover him.
What he did not tell Jason was not only the principle of inadmissibility of the victim's testimony, but also the fact that the court would not allow the victim to attend the trial when the situation was more serious.
On the one hand, it is to prevent the victim's spirit from being stimulated again during the confrontation, and on the other hand, to prevent the kidnappers from manipulating the victim's spirit in court and making them speak out to defend his testimony in order to deceive the jury and affect the fairness of justice.
It sounds ridiculous, but in fact, this kind of thing happens very often, and some victims even want to drop the charges on the spot because they are manipulated or afraid, and some even want to destroy the evidence in court.
Clark can clearly see Jason's intention to defend Batman, and he is very rational that Batman can't just be a simple abuse of Jason, there is love and affection between them, both materially and spiritually.
But that still doesn't cover up some of Batman's de facto abuses, and it's the injustices of those factual behaviors that he wants to address, so he has to go to Bruce Wayne now.
Clark had already locked Bruce's location, but in the process of placing Jason, he noticed that Bruce seemed to want to leave the hotel, and he knew the opportunity to do it had come.
Without any hesitation, a strong figure flew out of the window of the hotel reception room, and flew down a dozen floors at the fastest speed, stopping in front of a window.
Bruce, who came out of the utility room, walked briskly towards the stairwell, holding the fingerprints, iris, and vocal cord information he had just obtained from the director of the FBI.
The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway, and Bruce suddenly felt the light in the hallway dim, and the faint moonlight from the window at the end was obscured by a tall figure.
Bruce's hand instantly pressed on the batrang.
Clark landed, Bruce saw the glint in his eyes, and when he descended, the moonlight covered him with armor.
"Superman." Bruce's deep voice echoed through the hallway, it was Batman's voice, "Long time no see." ”
"It's been a long time, Bruce, how are you doing?"
I didn't hear the slightest greeting, but more like a pistol loaded, and Batman had never heard Superman say that.
"You've seen reports about the bat family." When Batman is Batman, his statements about the facts are like rebukes and commands.
"Of course, that's what I'm here for."
Superman has a seriousness that Batman can't understand, and they don't have much dealing, but Batman knows that usually, Superman will answer him "Yes, I watched, Bruce, I told you a long time ago, not every media journalist insists on facts and justice like me, maybe I can't do it completely, but I'm much better than them." ”
Batman realizes that he wants Superman to answer that, which doesn't make sense, and he should have preferred Superman not to be here.
"Can you talk?" Superman takes off his glasses, making those glimmering eyes even more striking.
"I'm not available right now."
This is not a pretext, but a fact, Batman needs to meet the landing of his Batfighter, which has just taken off remotely, with a bat computer on it, and he needs to use the biocode collected from the FBI director to access the FBI database.
An extremely bold and dangerous move, but now there was no other way, he needed the handle of all who knew about it, and a scapegoat who had a reason to get it.
"We'll have to talk." Superman looked at him and said.
"I don't have time, Clark." Batman's temperament reveals a kind of slaughter, and this moment is indeed his most murderous moment.
He knew what kind of stories Clark's peers were making up right now, and in less than three hours, they would be broadcasting their outrageous rumors all over the world.
Clear front-facing photos of Dick, Jason, and Barbara would be posted on the front page, and underneath that was a long list of foul language, and public opinion would not give them any chance to explain, and then blame the black pot on the head of the Wayne Group.
He must turn the tide before dawn, and no one can stop him.
The moment the three batrangs flew past the broken hair on the side of Superman's ear, the glow of the heat rays lit up the night sky.
