Chapter 1414 Return of the Old Days (Thirteen)
In the Karma Taj Zen Room, the serious atmosphere of the conversation was finally broken. Strange closed the black notebook, placed it again between the two of them, then tapped the cover with his finger and asked: "You Who do you think is explaining all this to us?”
"I know what you want to ask." Stark covered his mouth with a wine glass, leaned back in his chair relaxedly, and said: "All the chaos that happened before, the intruders at the Asgard Technology Expo, the sudden Membership gifts, the Mandarin and his ten rings, messy kids, and more..."
"Everything happened without warning before, and then suddenly broke out, beyond everyone's expectations. The motives, methods and results of everything were messy like a ball of yarn, so of course you will think of a name - Schiller ”
Strange pursed his lips and did not respond, but he was actually saying that he did not need to respond. This was obvious.
In the entire universe, where there is trouble and where there is no trouble, where there is something missing and where there is too much, who kills whom and who does not, who cooperates with whom and who does not, which company does red things and which company does white things, No matter where the gongs are or where the drums are, if you want to get the answers to all these questions, you only need to do one thing - find Schiller.
This is not only the consensus of everyone in the League of Radiance, but also gradually developed into the consensus of all superheroes on earth. Even Matt has chosen to go to the clinic to find Schiller as soon as possible. Who can be expected not to do this?
Seeing the determined expression on Strange's face, Stark showed a very complicated expression. Strange stared at Stark's face and narrowed his eyes. Before he could ask, Stark Just take the initiative.
"I know you all doubt Schiller, but he has an alibi."
"who?"
"I."
As Stark narrated, time went back to about two weeks ago. Stark, who was staring at the instruments in the laboratory, suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and the voice of another soul appeared in his mind, but he was already familiar with it. .
"Nar disappeared."
That was Batman's voice. Stark's wrist holding the pen paused slightly. He turned the pen in his hand and said, "It's not important. Anyway, our research on him has basically been completed, and he is nothing." Used.”
After speaking, Stark stood up and pulled down the blinds by the window. After being away from Jarvis for so long, he finally had some ability to take care of himself. At least he figured out how to pull down the blinds and how to close the fan blades.
"Who do you think did it?"
"Who else could have done it?"
Batman seemed a little silent, but after a moment, he said: "The Schiller you know is different from the Schiller I know."
"But it's essentially the same." Stark didn't hesitate. He threw the pen back into the pen holder. He failed, but he didn't care about it anymore. Instead, he walked to the cabinet where the small instruments were placed and used the glass door to He adjusted his shirt in his reflection, then walked to the door, picked up his coat, and put on his coat.
"Are you going to just go find him?"
"What if?"
Batman was a little silent again, as if he didn't know how to evaluate Stark's mobility, but when Stark walked out of the door, Batman said again: "Don't you bring a gift when you visit him?"
"I just went to him to ask about his plan. What gift should I bring?" Stark's tone was full of confusion.
"Do you think if you just rush over to him, he will tell you the truth?"
"He wouldn't tell me the truth if I didn't rush over to him."
Batman was silent again. As Stark walked out, he raised his hand and said, "Come on, it's not that complicated. I spend at least 200 million US dollars a year on my mental health management. Pepper and Obama Dai Yadu can testify, is this not as polite as passing a bottle of red wine? "
Batman stopped talking, but he may have felt that his attitude did not agree with him. As Stark got on the shuttle, he said: "I can feel from your attitude that the Schiller you met should be the same as me." The one I met is very different. He probably pays attention to etiquette.”
"The Schiller that I know, if I went to him now with a bottle of wine that would be prohibitively expensive to anyone but me, he would put a dent in my mental health management budget. A great addition to treat the social problems associated with my anxiety disorder.”
"As you wish," was all Batman could say.
The shuttle soon stopped at Arkham Sanitarium, but the receptionist at the front desk told Stark that Schiller was not here. Stark said proudly: "Look, I knew he must be here now." As for Research Naer, Schiller will disappear for a few days, pretending to be on vacation, and then a series of complicated and troublesome plans will be laid out in front of us. I know him too well. "
"Are you going to stop him?"
"Of course not, most of his plans are beneficial, and he can always organize many complicated things into one line after another, so that they belong to the same purpose, and then disperse them into many different small goals, completing them in one go. "
"Honestly, this seems like a miracle to me, but it is not a bad thing for me, mankind, or the nine kingdoms. It can also be said to be of great benefit."
"But it is true that to a certain extent, I have to stop him, because in the process of completing this plan, he is consuming himself uncontrollably. I couldn't understand his series of complicated plans before, and I couldn't find the opportunity to intervene. I wanted to interfere with him but I was afraid of screwing up everything. It’s a big difference now.”
Batman sent a positive thought to Stark's mind, and he said in a straightforward declarative tone: "If you catch a thread, I can crack everything."
"Thank you, man, if you weren't a rich man like me, I would definitely be willing to pay a lot of money to hire you as my staff." Stark whistled frivolously.
"It's better to keep it to pay for your mental health management."
Stark didn't care about Batman's unique dry humor at all.
The situation between the two of them was very strange. They should have been the most disliked people by both parties. For Batman, Stark was too emotional and emotional. He always liked to add too much inspiration to rigorous calculations and inferences, and he recklessly lowered his work efficiency. He couldn't take care of himself, and his private life was relatively chaotic. He smoked, drank, and went to bars. He was a complete playboy.
To Stark, Batman is like an old-fashioned person. He must live a rigid life without any passion. He is too suspicious and pursues details. He believes that the sparks of inspiration will only delay the efficiency of completing events. He pursues absolute rationality and always likes to tell cold jokes.

It is really difficult for two people like this to get along, but the magical thing is that during the time they shared a body, they did not restrain their shortcomings, and even actively let them stand out.
Stark has not been drunk for a long time. That was just a manifestation of his anxiety attack and escape from reality. But recently, he likes to drink a little after the experiment, let the alcohol paralyze his brain, and to some extent paralyze Batman's brain, or throw himself into the deafening dance floor and swing his body to his heart's content.
Batman's obsessive-compulsive disorder is getting worse and worse. Every pen and every piece of paper is placed in their designated positions. Different symbols on each page of the calendar point to different codes, and then to different actions. He remembers every face they have seen, remembers the smallest details of each person's appearance and behavior, and stores them in different categories. All the details of life are in order, day after day.
They experience two completely different lives in one person's time, bohemian and old-fashioned, relaxed and rigorous, leisurely and nervous.
Iron Man and Batman are not completely free from social views. In the Justice League, Batman cannot let himself get drunk because he is everyone's hope. In the Avengers, Iron Man cannot be too nervous because that will make everyone nervous.
When they use their own bodies, they can do whatever they can't do because of maintaining their image and identity or what they can't think of doing because of their personality. When they share a body, they can do it to their heart's content.
Nervous people will feel relaxed, and casual people will feel rigorous, which will make up for their gaps in social identity and spiritual needs, making their mental state more stable and their behavior more sound.
Batman and Iron Man understand to some extent why Schiller cut himself into so many pieces. When you separate all the one-sided traits in your personality and let them dominate life in different time periods with their own strengths, you can adapt to society more perfectly and heal yourself internally.
Now Batman and Iron Man are exploring, assuming that they are two personalities of one person, how to allocate their strengths to better adapt to life, when inspiration is needed, it is Stark who comes, when inference is needed, it is Batman who comes, and there are more subtle things in life.
When they share a body, each other's thinking and soul fluctuations can be well felt, so that after they separate, they can learn from each other's way of dealing with problems in this time period, and relax when they should relax, and be nervous when they should be nervous.
Batman and Iron Man have almost the same wisdom, so they don't have to worry about rusting their brains when the other takes over the body, or being trapped in intelligence and unable to take over the work of the previous person well. Their thoughts are connected smoothly and quickly, and they are natural.
There is no such wonderful opportunity in the world to let another you with the same wisdom and understanding ability, and complementary personality strengths and weaknesses, teach you how to make up for your shortcomings and develop your strengths in your mind. They all understand this, so they cherish this time.
"Are you really not going to prepare a gift?"
After Stark got back on the shuttle, Batman brought up the old matter again. He rarely spoke to explain part of his thoughts: "If it weren't for Schiller, I wouldn't be here, and we wouldn't cooperate."
"You want to thank him with a gift? That's simply old-fashioned." Stark shook his head and spread his hands and said: "I will give him a big hug when I see him the first time. Isn't that enough?"
Batman fell into deep thought. He felt very absurd. Physical contact was not a thank you but torture for him. The thought of "what on earth is in the other person" and "what are the consequences of hugging him" will continue to torture him for about a week.
"Okay, let me show you." Stark moved his shoulders nonchalantly and watched the shuttle stop steadily at the door of the SHIELD Agent Training Academy. The front desk receptionist just told them that Schiller was taking classes here.
Stark looked at his watch and found that they came at the right time. Schiller should have just finished a class, so he tightened his coat, took off his sunglasses, and walked in with smooth and coherent strides.
Pushing the door of the classroom open, walking down the stairs with a brisk pace, not paying attention to the flow of students passing in the opposite direction, Stark shouted to Schiller, walked up to him and hugged him hard, and then said.
"I just went to the sanatorium to look for you, you were not there, they said you were taking classes here, how was the class?"
"Not bad, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, thank you."
"Oh, you're welcome, are you going to the cafeteria?"
"Let's go."
Batman felt that he still had a long way to go before he could behave properly.
