In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1160: Professor (23)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
In the spring of 1992, the ice and snow had just melted, and the wounds of the previous disaster were healing. The streets and alleys of Gotham finally regained some vitality.
The people who came back to the streets were surprised to find that a new store had opened at the end of the busiest and most prosperous commercial street, and what shocked them even more was that it was a bookstore.
Opening a bookstore in Gotham? It's like a not-so-funny joke, full of absurdity everywhere.
However, this bookstore is opened in such a prime location, and even though the door is cold, there are no publicity measures.
Reopening stores often hold many welcome activities. At the door of a bakery on the left of the bookstore, a fat lady is carrying a plate and giving bread to passers-by. A hair salon on the right employs several children. send flyer.
But the door of this bookstore is deserted and there is nothing there. People can't help but guess, what kind of business genius dares to have such confidence, and expect a bookstore to be able to afford such a high rent in the city center?
However, soon, people in the streets and alleys looked at this bookstore curiously, and found that it was not that there were no customers in this bookstore, but the customers seemed very mysterious.
They are often wearing dark trench coats, scarves covering half of their faces, and lowering the brim of their top hats. They neither take a car nor ride a bike, but walk out of a certain alley and walk to the bookstore.
However, from some details, it can still be judged that the guests coming and going are either rich or noble, because their clothes are very neatly arranged, some are holding umbrellas, and some are holding civilization sticks.
The guests seldom come and go alone. They are always followed by a burly and expressionless person. When the person in front walks in, the person who follows will guard the door.
Many veterans who have gotten to know each other in the streets and alleys are telling their children not to think about that bookstore. They can all see where the customers of the bookstore come from.
"I really didn't expect that you would come so early." Schiller stepped forward, warmly hugged Yin Wensi, and then gently hugged Yin Wensi's wife, Yin Wensi They have been married for a few months, and it seems that the two have a very good relationship and a good match.
Yin Wensi showed a bright smile and said: "Professor, of course I will come to support the store you opened as soon as possible. Yin Sha and I got up early, we should be the first ones, Right?"
"Of course, the only one who brought me breakfast earlier than you is the newsboy who brought me breakfast." Schiller pointed to the unfinished bread on his table. Yin Sha's blond girl smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Professor, to interrupt your breakfast. I told Yin Wensi not to be so anxious, but he didn't listen."
"It's okay." Schiller shook his head, looked at her gently and said, "I heard that you are from Metropolis? Did you two meet while rehearsing a play?"
Yin Sha nodded shyly and said, "Yes, I am a girl from a small town. My family runs a dairy farm. I was admitted to the Metropolitan Academy of Art and just graduated this year."
Yin Wensi also said excitedly: "The **** dance troupe of Gotham University wanted to perform traditional dramas during the school celebration, so they invited teachers and teachers from the Metropolitan Academy of Art. Students, take them to rehearse, Yin Sha and I met at that time."
"That's really a special fate." Schiller commented: "There are not many girls who are brave enough to come to Gotham."
Yin Sha smiled and said, "It's actually okay. My classmates are very curious about this city. The rap culture here is amazing. It's also the place with the strongest street culture on the east coast. If it weren't for the price It’s too expensive, and they definitely want to travel here.”
Schiller raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Aren't they worried about insecurity?"
" Don't you know? An intern reporter from the Metropolitan Daily published a Gotham travel strategy, specifically pointing out a safer travel route, which has already been tested by someone. It is safe, and you can experience the characteristics of this city."
As if unable to hold back anymore, Yin Wensi let out a "chi" laugh, then coughed twice, looked at Schiller and said, "Professor, can you imagine? In these special tourist attractions, there is actually Including not sleeping at night, standing in front of the hotel window, waiting for Batman to appear!"
Schiller was stunned for a moment, and then laughed together with Yin Wensi. He covered his mouth and said with a smile: "You mean, Batman has also become one of Gotham's unique tourist attractions?"
"Of course! He is very attractive!" Yin Sha raised her tone and said, "In any city in the world, it is impossible for you to see a man with such a perfect figure, wearing equipment worth hundreds of millions of dollars, standing Looking into the distance from the top of a billion-dollar building!"
"My little sisters who used to be in the art college asked me which room in the hotel to book to see him. They were almost fascinated by his chin!"
"But I heard that before, his reputation was a little bit bad..." Schiller asked with some doubts, Yin Sha was taken aback, and said, "Bad reputation? What's wrong with his reputation?" Okay? Besides, the bad reputation has nothing to do with tourists, right? Those people want to see him just because he is handsome."
Schiller nodded and said, "That's true."
Yin Sha looked up at the inside of the bookstore and said, "I think your bookstore should be very popular with them. College students like pretentious European literature, especially hardcover books. Even if you buy it back and don’t read it, you can still collect it.”
Schiller's eyes lit up, he looked at Yin Sha and said, "I'm worried that my bookstore will lose business. After all, you also know that people in Gotham don't like to read books very much, and few people like to buy hardcover books. Ben, not to mention those collectible tomes, if I can expand my business channels, I would be happy to chat with those students..."
Yin Wensi made a fool of Yin Sha, but Yin Sha showed a embarrassed expression. She looked at Schiller and said, "Yin Wensi said that you took care of him a lot, and I would be happy to promote it to you. , but, I'm just a student in an art school, and I don't have any background in my family.
Yin Sha thought for a while, and asked Yin Wensi to go to the door to tear a note, then picked up the pen on Schiller's desk, wrote a series of phone numbers, handed it to Schiller, and said:
"This is an editor of the Metropolitan Daily I know. You can call him and ask who the intern reporter who wrote the travel guide is, as long as he can add your bookstore to the travel guide. In the guide, those who come here to travel will definitely be happy to take a look."
Schiller took the note, read it carefully, and put it in the book next to him. After Yin Wensi and his wife left, Schiller walked to the phone at the door and called the phone number on the note. Called the past.
At the same time, in Wayne Manor, Bruce sat on the sofa with a tired face, and there was only half a bottle of crazy wine on the table in front of him.
Obviously, the journey to Dick's heart was not smooth. Bruce did find Dick in Dick's dream world, but that Dick ran away when he saw him, and he ran so fast that Bruce couldn't catch him at all.
More importantly, that Dick showed obvious abnormalities. His face and figure did not change, but his ears turned into pig ears. Bruce saw that the top of one of the pig ears was engraved A capital letter v.
This indicates that Dick was indeed influenced by someone, and it was this mysterious v who did it.
If it was in other people's world, Bruce would have taken violent action long ago, but in Dick's heart, Bruce couldn't do it, because once the damage is caused, it may be an irreversible mental trauma.
In the past few days, Bruce tried many times, but he couldn't catch Dick without hurting him, and relieve the influence of this mysterious v on him.
Just when Bruce was at a loss, Alfred walked in and reported to him: "Master, Mr. Kent is here, do you want to see him?"
"Kent? Clark Kent?" Bruce reacted, he hesitated, and said to Alfred: "Please come in."
Clark who walked in was still the same, wearing a white shirt, carrying a one-shoulder briefcase, and wearing black-rimmed glasses, he shook hands with Bruce enthusiastically, and said, "I heard that you are already a graduate student? What an amazing decision, I wanted to go to graduate school too, but I chose to work because I wanted to earn money earlier..."
Bruce exchanged a few words with him absent-mindedly. Clark keenly sensed that Bruce was not in the right state. He glanced at the half-bottle of wine left on the table, and slowly frowned.
"Bruce, I really have to persuade you, no matter what kind of trouble you encounter, drinking to get rid of your worries is the most negative way! Drinking drunk~IndoMTL.com~ will only let your genius brain not develop. The original role, you have to cheer up!"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you realize that it's not ordinary wine?" Another slightly deep voice sounded, and a small black head came out of the gap in Clark's briefcase. Batcat's blue eyes looked at Clark and said, "Obviously, this guy is in some unsolvable trouble."
Clark unzipped the briefcase and carried Batcat out. When Bruce saw Batcat again, he instinctively expressed his first impression: "...why are you fat like a ball? ?”
The bat cat bared two small fangs at him. Clark hugged the bat cat, looked down and said, "Is he fat? No? Isn't that just right for a cat? Is it?"
The bat cat looked down at the flesh on his stomach. He wasn't very fat, but he had changed from a thin and lean wild cat with smooth muscles to a naive pet cat.
Clark scratched Batcat's chin, making Batcat squint his eyes, and then he said: "After I graduated, I brought him back to my family's farm. My father and mother like him very much, so maybe Feed a little too much...but it doesn't matter, as long as you exercise more, you will lose weight soon."
Looking at Batcat, Bruce's eyes slowly lit up, but he didn't say it directly, but looked at Clark and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Clark didn't expect him to change the subject so quickly, but then, he showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, changed his sitting position, rubbed his hands, looked at Bruce and asked:
"Didn't you go out to patrol recently?"
