Chapter 2288 Gotham Music Festival (20)
Chapter 2281 Gotham Music Festival (Twenty)
The New Yorkers chose to avoid talking about Schiller's past experiences. In their opinion, Schiller is now Schiller and their friend, and it doesn't matter what happened in the past.
So even though Stark and Steve had seen something that seemed to be Schiller's past in some dreams, they never took the initiative to bring up such topics in front of Schiller. At most, they talked about it in private, and they were all guesses, and no one said anything definite.
After learning that Schiller might be a visitor from another world, Nick did some research, but he mainly investigated when Schiller came and in what capacity, and was not very interested in the universe where Schiller had been.
They tacitly blurred the topic, as if they were keeping a secret together, because they knew it would of course be a secret. The past of a person like Schiller was destined to be ordinary and boring, but no matter how magnificent it was, it was no longer important.
The people of Gotham also maintained a similar attitude in this regard, but for different reasons.
They knew that Schiller's past must be a big secret, and the reason why the secret was a secret must have its reasons.
Schiller had his own plans for this, so even Bruce, who was extremely curious, did not take a tough attitude to ask Schiller to explain everything.
Because both sides maintained a vague attitude of muddling through, neither side was clear about the details. They guessed that it might be an accident, but they did not expect it to be death.
At this time, Stark suddenly remembered a picture he had seen in Schiller's thinking tower.
"... Airplane?"
Stark instinctively uttered a word, but everyone's eyes fell on him, and then they all looked at Schiller, meaning why only he knew?
Stark recalled the whole process in his mind. At that time, they bought tickets to go to the room of Schiller's thinking tower to experience the study life of a magic school called Hogwarts.
There they heard a rumor that there was a mirror in a room somewhere, which could see what they wanted most. At that time, Stark saw his parents there.
When Schiller passed by the mirror, Stark saw a blue sky and white clouds and a plane flying in the clouds.
He didn't know why Schiller's deepest desire was a plane, but when Schiller said he came to this world through death, Stark instinctively thought of this plane.
"Air crash?" Stark looked at Schiller and asked tentatively.
Schiller nodded, paused for a moment, and said in the simplest language: "The plane crashed, I died, and came here after waking up."
He didn't explain what happened between him and Lucifer and God, because it was not important, and it had nothing to do with what he was going to say now, at least it did not constitute a direct causal relationship.
Bruce immediately captured the key information, and he turned to Schiller and said: "Where did it crash?"
"On the sea."
Everyone was silent.
After hesitating for a while, Natasha still said: "Do you think this is the reason for your seasickness? ... Is there any psychological principle that I don't understand?"
"Are you saying that your death has caused you psychological trauma?" Steve's speculation was even bolder. He said: "It probably depends on the posture of the plane falling. Some of the victims did not die during the plane crash, but after the plane crashed, they missed the best chance of survival due to improper operation, which often occurs when the plane crashes on the sea."
"If the plane did not disintegrate in the air, but fell into the sea in a relatively stable posture, then most of the passengers should still be alive at this time. If they listened carefully to the safety details explained before the plane took off, they should be able to use the life jackets and breathing masks under the seats to save themselves."
"But if they didn't listen carefully, most people couldn't save themselves by swimming in that situation, so the cause of death of most people in such air crashes was drowning."
Everyone looked at Schiller again. They obviously wanted to know whether Schiller died from the disintegration and explosion of the plane, or drowned after the plane fell into the sea.
"I'm not sure." Schiller shook his head and said, "But the last scene I saw before I died was the sea."
Then Peter finally couldn't help but ask, "How could the plane crash? Air crashes are extremely rare events, and there are not many in human history. How could it just happen..."
Although everyone made an expression of "You'd better not ask", they were actually listening attentively. If Schiller's death was caused by an air crash, then this air crash must not be so simple.
They would never think that Schiller's previous life would be an ordinary person who abided by the law. From the various fragments they have pieced together now, Schiller, who has a pathological personality, must have had a magnificent past in his previous life. So would this air crash be related to Schiller's past?
Although it is a bit impolite, as long as the disaster that happened to Schiller is mentioned, people's first thought must not be what someone wants to do to Schiller, but what Schiller has done to others.
Even if the people present are partial to their friends, they have to admit that Schiller's bad luck is basically caused by himself every time. To put it more sharply, he deserves it.
"After we discussed it, we thought it was possible." Schiller pulled on the blanket on his body and said, "This is the only intersection between me and the sea. If not, I can't think of any reason."
Schiller sighed softly and said: "It doesn't mean that I am a psychiatrist and can completely understand the principles of all trauma disorders. Some inexplicable things happen to inexplicable human beings. You can understand it as evolution. Miracle."
"Bullshit," Bruce commented.
"Okay, let's let our patient rest." Stark obviously intends to change this matter. He has always adhered to pragmatism. If Schiller is seasick, then he will not take a boat. If Schiller is seasick, then he will not go to sea. The problem is not Is it solved?
As for any disasters that may occur in the future, let's wait until the time comes. Soldiers will stop it, and water will cover it. This is also the attitude of the vast majority of New Yorkers.
They all stood up and prepared to leave. Steve sent Schiller back to his room, and everyone else also walked towards their respective rooms.
Bruce's room was on the same floor as Batman of the main universe and Batman. On the way back, they were walking through the corridor at the same time. Batman of the main universe took the initiative and said, "It seems that I underestimated the excitement of his past. He is not a native of this place."
"Of course he's not, but do you believe it?" Bruce looked back at Batman in the main universe as he walked and said, "Have you never seen the Joker?"
Batman frowned slightly, Bruce snorted, strode forward and said: "When he makes a gesture of revealing the truth to you, you will know that it is never the truth, he just wants to use a What seems like the truth seizes you so you don’t ask any more questions.”
"I can guarantee that it's not an important thing to him, and he didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable just now." Bruce stood next to his bedroom, holding the doorknob and turned around and said, "He revealed something about himself. The secret that seems to be very important is just to give you the satisfaction of getting the information, so that you feel that you have got enough today.”
"He made that weak gesture just to make you believe that it was his psychological trauma, so that you would stop asking questions out of humanitarianism, or stop continuing the topic out of fear of irritating him into an accident. "
Two Batmans stood in front of Bruce, one on the left and the other on the right, their eyes asking "Why are you so skilled?".
"Because I don't know how many times I've been fooled!" Bruce said with gritted teeth: "If you two are at my age and there are two clowns at the same time, and one of them chases you so that you don't have time to write your paper, Chasing you for papers every day, you will know how I figure out these things."
With a bang, the door closed. Batman and Batman from the main universe looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Batman in the main universe doesn't believe that things are so simple, because he has discovered many doubtful points based on his own observations.
Judging from the reactions of the visitors from another world who had a completely different style of painting from theirs, Schiller was neither seasick nor seasick in their universe. This made Schiller’s so-called trauma disorder self-defeating, because If you feel uncomfortable when you see the sea, it is impossible that you will only attack the sea in one of the universes.
And from Batman's detective perspective, the sea's problems during the journey just now were much greater than Schiller's.
Although Batman is very aware of the nature of Gotham's sea, the sea area they just stayed in is still abnormal.
First of all, the sea is too calm. Although it is said that there is no wind without waves, it is the sea after all. How can it not shake at all? But at that time, the sea surface was as motionless as ice. If not, Spider-Man and Robin were shouting, jumping and making noise on the boat. How could the hull of the boat be so stable?
You know, although these young people look like just ordinary kids, Spider-Man is extremely powerful. The noise they made was enough to make a cruise ship unable to sail safely, but during the time they were having a water fight, the cruise ship It's like it's welded to the ground.
There is also the issue of fish. Batman knows that there are not many fish in the sea around Gotham. In addition to water pollution, this is not a fishing ground passed down from generation to generation.
Although the intersection of cold and warm currents makes the seafood here particularly delicious, Gotham has no history of developing a fishing and hunting civilization. It is more of a cargo distribution terminal. The number of dockworkers is far more than that of fishermen. On the contrary, it is not far from here. Bludhaven and Cien Port are quite famous fishing centers.
Even so, judging from the speed and time of the cruise ship, they are already quite deep in the sea, far away from the shore of Gotham. Water pollution should not affect this place. And because no one is fishing, wild fish stocks are still there. There are some.
When Steve lowered his pole, Batman was also watching. The high-power fish luring light almost illuminated a few meters below the water surface, but not only was there no fish, the seawater was also quiet as if dead. .
This is very abnormal, Batman knows it, but what’s even weirder is that Schiller attributes everything to himself without doing any investigation at all. Combined with what Bruce said before, Schiller either doesn’t want to investigate or wants to Check it yourself.
But why is this so? Batman knows that he must be missing a lot of important information. What could it be?
