In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1476: Bird and return (21)
The early spring in southwestern France is still a bit humid and chilly, and the tender grass shoots that have just sprouted on the large grasslands on the left bank of the Dordogne River are bent over by the dew.
Expensive suit fabrics will condense in half an hour in such an air. It is rare for Schiller to put on a suit jacket as soon as he got up, but to wear a white shirt and a dark brown vest. A tie to keep an expensive suit from getting wet before the party.
This is a holiday villa located between a private winery and a grape field. It was temporarily lent to Schiller by a wine collector who met him at a banquet in Montreal.
Although Schiller thinks that he can also live in a mansion in the city, it is unreasonable to meet his old friends in France and Italy without bringing some gifts. The nearby wineries just happen to be able to buy red wine as gifts.
Original Schiller has many friends in Europe because of the age of his life and the nature of his work, and they are distributed in various industries. Both maintain a good relationship.
In their view, Schiller spent the past few years absent from communication with Gotham and devoted himself to academic research. The papers he published in the past few years related to criminal psychology also proved this point. The status of the academic circle has not declined, on the contrary, it has improved, or the image has changed.
Original Schiller's social route tends to be popular, he maintains a good relationship with everyone he knows, and people think that he is calm and reliable, and worthy of making friends.
Then the steady, helpless scholar plunged into a cesspit and butterfly-swimmed for five years before coming out with nothing to do, which drastically changed the way Schiller's friends viewed him.
But it is also convenient for Schiller. After all, if he accidentally shows an aggressiveness that has never been shown before, it can also be explained that the tempering of Gotham has changed him.
The quality of Schiller’s original circle of friends was very high. After traveling around the United States, Schiller became more and more sure that his choice of socializing was correct. Most of the people he met had something in common with him. The topics, in addition to academics, are relatively compatible in terms of personal hobbies and lifestyles.
This actually made Schiller feel a little confused. He didn't think he was very similar to the original Schiller, nor did he think that their friendship orientation would tend to be the same, but the friends he left behind were indeed fully satisfied. Schiller's social needs.
Schiller walked up the stairs to the first floor, rolling up his shirt cuffs as he made his way to the kitchen island.
He might have to live here for a while, so he checked the kitchen utensils in advance and found that all kinds of kitchen utensils were complete, so he went to the nearest farm supermarket to do some shopping and filled up the refrigerator.
All Schiller can cook, which is an important criterion for self-care ability. When he and Hal and Oliver were on vacation on the island, Schiller used local ingredients to cook and returned to civilization. In the kitchen, cooking becomes easier.
The ingredients in the farm supermarket are very fresh, but there are not many types. Most of them are root foods that are relatively easy to preserve. Fortunately, there are freshly slaughtered beef and mutton, bacon and goat cheese. There is still a bottle of Schiller left in the cabinet. Red wine that was opened but not finished.
So he decided to make a red wine osso bucco, a baked potato wedge, a macaroni and cheese and bacon, and lye bread. Due to the lack of vegetables, Schiller decided to squeeze the vegetable juice instead of drinking coffee.
Schiller quickly finished preparing the dishes, but the dishes on the preparation plate were far more than the amount for one person. He had a visitor this morning, so he made an extra serving.
Twist the kneaded dough into the shape of a German knot, take out the freshly baked potato wedges, wipe the baking tray, and then put the bread baking tray into the oven. Schiller, who is about to finish cooking, stands in the middle of the kitchen and thinks for a while , finally decided to make a cup of coffee.
There is no sophisticated coffee equipment here, let alone a butler on call, so Schiller decided to use a coffee pot, and when he opened the cupboard to look for coffee beans, the doorbell rang.
Schiller dried his hands with a towel, went to the door and opened it. Standing outside was Bruce Wayne.
"Come in." Schiller opened the door a little wider.
Bruce walked in and smelled the aroma of baking bread. Schiller poured the freshly baked potato wedges onto a plate and placed them on the central island.
"Fortunately, I didn't expect you to bring red wine." Schiller said as he took out a bottle of red wine from the upper cabinet, put the glass in front of Bruce and said, "Even if there are three restaurants within ten miles of here Winery."
"My bank card has been frozen." Bruce took a potato wedge and put it in his mouth and said, "I checked the backstage of the Federal Reserve and found that the federal financial situation is in jeopardy just to deal with Thomas. So there is no borrowing."
Schiller poured a glass of red wine for Bruce, turned around to grate the cheese, he turned his back to Bruce and asked without looking back: "How are the birds?"
"They are fine."
"Have you tried to make them better?"
"Sure, but I'm in no hurry to get to this part."
Bruce picked up another potato wedge and put it in his mouth, took a sip of the red wine Schiller had just poured, and asked, "How was your trip?"
"Not bad, now about half of the new world and one-third of the old world are happy to hear the news of your excellent graduation."
"My pleasure."
Schiller put the shredded cheese on the plate on top of the pasta. Bruce poked his head to the side, saw Schiller's action, and said, "I don't want cheese in my portion."
"Talk about the Robins," Schiller went on.
"There is nothing to say." Bruce recalled a little while holding the wine glass, and then said: "After you told me that they were coming in the tower, I slightly modified my image."
"Which way to modify?"
"Be as different as possible from Batman." Bruce picked the potato wedges on the plate with a fork, and continued: "Create a sense of contrast, let them find that they can't deal with the behavior of Batman in the same way as Batman. social, so they want to know what the right approach is."
"Do you want to lure them out to investigate at night?"
"No, I need to disarm their psychological defenses in a short period of time, so a more dangerous environment may be needed."
"Alternate stimulus?"
"Yes, I know that if I act like I really want them to sleep, they will doubt my purpose, so when I leave Wayne Manor in the middle of the night, the most impatient of them will definitely Just follow me."
"I thought it would be Jason, but I didn't expect that the natural son of the cosmic Batman has the opposite temper, but it doesn't matter, anyway, they will eventually follow Batman to the East."
"What was the first big shock you gave them? Positive feedback or negative feedback?"
Bruce covered his mouth with fists, and said with a smile: "I have considered positive feedback, I know Dick likes this, if I show him the good living environment of the children in the East, then he will It should resonate with me."
"But your plan to lure them out to investigate is to exclude Nightwing. In any case, he is also the most stable of all Robins, and the possibility of chasing you in a hurry is the least."
"Yes, because I later thought that as long as he can understand my career, he can understand me. In fact, there is no rush, but the other two may need some shock."
"Joker?"
Bruce nodded and said: "There is no elephant in the room, but if I put one in, no one can ignore it. This is to strengthen their unfamiliarity with the social environment, thereby weakening their sense of security. .”
"So what do you use next to reinforce this stimulus?"
"New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital." Bruce picked up a potato wedge with a fork, but didn't eat it. The removal of the pancreas and the production of limb slices were arranged in one day, and a few days ago, on the grounds that her original classroom needed maintenance, she moved the place where she did her homework to the only way upstairs.”
"Two stunned youths who don't know the rules of Arkham's operation at all will definitely cause a lot of trouble." Schiller shook his head, took the bread out of the oven, processed it, and put it again Go in and re-bake.
"That's right, they provoked more than a dozen serial killers along the way, and they were dragged in by Harley when they passed by the door."
"But what Halle is doing shouldn't have enough impact, right? As long as you have a little medical education background, you can adapt quickly." Schiller began to process vegetables and said.
"Yes." Bruce nodded again and continued: "But I learned in advance that Beelzebub's daughter will hold a wedding, and all the demon generals under him are vying for the treasure."
"I'm sending out news from **** that Gotham has a rare sinful heart, which was dug out by Harley and Victor before, and I went to take a look before."
"The demons want to buy it, but they can't find me, so they can only go to Constantine. It's not difficult to dig out the heart of a sinner, but it's difficult to preserve it. Constantine must have thought of a way for humans to preserve the heart of a sinner. Apart from magic, there is only dense ice, and if he finds Victor, he can find Harley."
Schiller's hand that was putting vegetables into the juicer paused, and asked, "Did Constantine summon a demon?"
"No, a magician friend of Constantine summoned a demon."
"And when their negotiations reached an impasse ~IndoMTL.com~ did you stand up?" Schiller looked back at Bruce and asked. Does the attitude deter them? ... No, maybe you want to show them how the new Arkham Mental Hospital works?"
Bruce nodded.
"Great." Schiller commented: "It's not in vain that I almost let the entire psychology community know about your excellent graduation."
"I can show them the bright changes in Gotham, but since they can better understand Gotham's Dark Knight, then they will definitely understand and admire the means of fighting darkness with darkness."
"But light is necessary." Schiller put the meal and vegetable juice on the island, and sat across from Bruce, looking him in the eyes.
"Yes, so today I asked Rex to adjust the clearing time a little earlier, so that they will realize that my dark methods are effective and not just a madman's self-entertainment."
"They are used to admiring people who use dark ways to achieve bright goals, such as Batman, so they will put me in a high position."
"Very well, there is only one last step left."
"I pretended to be unwell, gave them important tasks, affirmed them with a condescending attitude, and at the same time bound them in an environment with guilt and responsibility, so that they could not leave."
"Then..."
"The birds will have trouble..." Bruce said with a raised eyebrow.
Schiller picked up the wine glass, and Bruce also picked up the glass and touched him lightly. Schiller's voice echoed in the empty morning by the river.
“…and they can only rely on your guidance.”
