In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 59: The first time I saw the frozen man
The new principal, Seldon, is actually quite capable and experienced, and has a wide network of contacts. The only problem is that his luck is really bad.
No, maybe it should be said that it is bad.
His friend helped him nominate six professors in total, and among them, he happened to meet one of Gotham's villains in the future, Victor Freeze, the Freezeman.
And after Seldon checked their files, he planned to hire three of them, which happened to include Freezeman Victor Fries.
After the invitation letter was sent out, only one professor accepted Gotham University's offer, and it happened to be Victor Fries, the Freezeman.
Gotham University really has a very ill-fated life. It just captured a few demons and captured a few demons. It just left a scarecrow, Jonathan, and a freezing man, Victor.
Moreover, Victor seems to need this job very much. Before Schiller communicated with Bruce to prevent Seldon from hiring, the invitation letter had just been sent out at noon the day before, and Victor had already arrived in Columbia the next afternoon. In Tan University, the speed is as if he will run out of food if he doesn't do this job.
Fortunately, just like the scarecrow, Victor is just an ordinary scholar and professor.
In fact, Schiller knows that even the later Freeze Man can be regarded as the milder Gotham villain. He usually likes to freeze Batman, and then chat with him about philosophy and art. Most of his paranoia And madness comes from love for his wife, not necessarily against Batman or Gotham.
The Victor Schiller saw was very similar to himself. Both of them were very typical scholars. , although he looks a bit haggard, but he still looks like a professor full of knowledge.
Every professor has his own independent office, but there is also a public office where everyone sits together and chats. After Jonathan left, his public office was vacant. This time Victor came, he It happened to be sitting in Jonathan's original position, that is, next to Schiller.
During the first chat with Victor, Schiller discovered that Victor had been staring at the ring on Schiller's ring finger in a daze.
After a while, he finally brought the topic to family, and then asked: "You seem to be married, is your wife also in Gotham now?"
In European and American countries, it is actually impolite to talk about each other's marital status when they meet for the first time. Some people may feel that this offends their privacy.
It can be seen that Victor's mental state is not very good now. He seems to be very anxious and wants to seek approval.
Schiller froze for a moment after hearing this question. He didn't know how to answer it. He couldn't tell the other party that he had a symbiont who had watched too many TV shows, right?
Schiller's silence was understood by Victor as another meaning.
This is how people are. They will always unconsciously look for similar people in situations of insecurity and anxiety, and want to find comfort from their experiences that are the same as their own.
Victor thought of Schiller's astonishing resume, and he thought that maybe among those thrilling detective stories, there might be a more poignant love story than his.
With this sense of identity of "the same people who have fallen in the end of the world", Victor and Schiller quickly became familiar with each other.
In the subsequent exchanges, Schiller found that he and Victor did have a lot in common. Victor liked to talk about ancient philosophy, modern art and religious art, and Schiller also liked theology and theology. Philosophy, the two of them have a lot in common, and they can even chat for a whole afternoon when they are not in class.
Schiller did not expect that the first close friend he found after time travel was the villain Freeze.
But I have to say that Mr. Freeze, who has not yet turned into a villain, is actually very charismatic. Unique insights, chatting with him reminded Schiller of his previous life and debates with experts in the same field, and countless sparks of thinking can always be collided.
This moderate villain looks pretty good, which is also recognized by everyone in the office.
With the in-depth communication with Victor, Schiller also knew his current situation. Victor has used cryogenic technology to seal his wife, but this technique costs a lot of money and requires a demanding venue.
The research institute that originally funded his research was unwilling to provide a venue for Victor because of insufficient funds, so Victor came to Gotham University in a hurry, not only because the salary offered here was not bad, but to The Wayne family paid for the establishment of a low-temperature laboratory here, which allowed him to ensure that his wife was kept in a frozen state and her condition would not deteriorate.
If you combine the later stories of Freeze Man, his behavior may look a little abnormal, but in fact, most of the colleagues in the office can understand Victor. The theory that people with incurable diseases are frozen until medical technology develops.
And Victor is just one of the forerunners.
Schiller believes that such a Victor Fries, even if he did not encounter the accidental experiment and became the Freeze Man later, he is still a quite reliable ally.
Compared with the little bat that hasn't grown up yet, the frozen man with the world's cutting-edge cryogenic technology and a brain full of knowledge seems more reliable.
In order to solve Freeze's troubles forever, he must first solve his wife's degenerative disease.
Schiller followed Victor to visit the cryogenic chamber where his wife was sealed. Mrs. Fries was not very beautiful, she was just an ordinary white woman, but Victor always looked at her with love in his eyes.
Schiller asked the symbiote in his mind: "Is there a way?"
The symbiont said: "Nervous atrophy, very troublesome."
Victor looked at the cryogenic chamber and said: "My wife's neurodegenerative disease is almost incurable, and her nerve cells die too fast. I only have time to seal her up, and there is no way to reverse it. Cell death can be barely controlled, and immune inflammation can also damage her brain..."
Victor knelt down, and anyone could hear the despair in his tone. Maybe he himself knew that it was just him who kept his wife frozen and waited for a solution that might never come. Self-deception.
Schiller frowned and thought about it. He thought, although Victor is one of the most famous villains in Gotham, he is indeed the world's top cryogenic scientist, but the professional work must be done by professional people. For example, a more top neurosurgeon.
The next day, Schiller returned to Marvel's New York.
When Strange saw Schiller at his home, he threw the coat he had just taken off on the porch next to him, and said, "Oh my God, you just showed up in my room so swaggeringly." Home!"
"I haven't settled with you yet, you sold my information to an organization."
"That's what they asked me, and I can't help it."
In the process of staring at Schiller, Strange had no choice but to deal with it. He said: "Okay, but you can't expect me to be like a well-trained agent. Say nothing, and it was indeed you who threatened me first."
"Don't mention this, I have a way to make a fortune now, do you want to hear it?"
Strange asked suspiciously: "A way to get rich? If there was such a way, would you come to me? I heard that you gave that Stark an hourly consultation fee of 1 million US dollars. He even agreed!"
"When I heard the news, I wished I could go back to university to study psychology!"
"Now, there is a lady suffering from a very serious neurodegenerative disease, and her husband may have the world's unique low temperature patented technology, you know, the kind of technology that can be eaten for a lifetime by patent fees .”
"If you can cure this lady's disease, then we can share this patent together."
Strange pursed his lips and sighed, "I repeat, I am a doctor, not God."
"Do you think you can't cure this disease?"
"But first, shouldn't you let me see the patient first, not you, a second-hand dealer?"
"For some reason, you may not be able to see her, but I have all her pathological information here."
Saying that, Schiller conjured a lot of paper out of thin air. Strange took it, glanced at it briefly, then shook his head and said, "Impossible, it can't be saved, just give up."
Just as Schiller was about to speak, Strange said: "This is not a matter of neuroscience. If you want her to fully recover, the difficulty is almost equivalent to restoring a piece of baked bacon to Become a pig."
Then he looked Schiller up and down, and finally set his eyes on the ring on his ring finger. Strange said: "...well, my wording just now was a bit absolute, or you can go find Find someone else, although I don't think there is a better neurosurgeon in this world than me."
"What if you cooperate with Stark?"
Strange just wanted to deny it, but he thought for a while and said: "That Stark may have done some research on mechanics, but his technology still needs a lot of research and modification before it can be applied to neurosurgery. If you can persuade him to put in so much effort to study this technology, then I can try it too, but you'd better prepare a consultation fee that satisfies me."
Before Strange finished speaking, Schiller had disappeared~IndoMTL.com~ Thinking of the ring he saw on Schiller's hand just now, and of Schiller's attitude, Strange obviously misunderstood What, he sighed and said to himself: "Ha, love...is really stupid."
Schiller, who suddenly appeared behind Stark, startled him a lot, and then he yelled: "I know you have this amazing magic! The reason for not using the elevator! Aren't you afraid of being stuck in the wall?"
Schiller said: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could the magic teleportation be stuck in the wall? That's too stupid."
"I hope I won't get a call from the maintenance man one day, telling me that there is a human-shaped hole in one of the walls of Stark Tower."
"Okay, I came to see you for business."
Schiller took out the pile of documents again.
Ten minutes later, Stark said: "Actually, you really found the right person. I still have some research on neurology."
He walked around the table with a pen in his hand and said, "You know, last time I got a lot of biomechanical information from Obadiah's database, and there were some information about nervous system transformation to adapt to mechanical control." technology."
"Although these technologies are very dangerous, it is undeniable that if successful, it will allow the human body to control the mecha to an unprecedented level of precision."
"If the machine can receive commands directly from the nerve center, then all the time required for secondary operations will be saved, and all armor can be truly controlled."
"So you can do it?"
"No, it's not working yet. Obadiah's research on this technology is also stuck in the bottleneck period. There is a key technical threshold that needs to be broken through. Now we don't have any ideas."
