Batman saw everything, but not everything, because he could not hear the voice of the original Schiller and only saw the picture.
Because Schiller was taken away by an unknown person, Batman did not have time to look for his traces through surveillance. After all, the person facing him was probably a professional agent who knew how to avoid surveillance. Moreover, if he wanted to chase the opponent from surveillance, someone would have to be there.
Reporting the location in real time before monitoring will cause delays in the entire process. Batman has a better way.
He can directly use Crazy Wine to enter Schiller's dream, and other Schillers in the thinking tower can directly tell Batman the location of Schiller's body, which is much faster than chasing after the agent.
He arrived just in time, just in time for Schiller to start playing the photo magic on the medal. However, because the audio channel and video were separated, only Schiller could hear the sound and see the picture at the same time. Batman could only
Can see the screen.
But that doesn't stop Batman from figuring out what's going on.
In the first scene, the calendar on the wall has already written the time. It was Christmas 1991. However, the next scene appeared in Berlin decades ago, and Schiller became
child.
Up to this point, Batman thought the whole process was a flashback. The scene where he saw Schiller committing suicide was a prophecy, and then he started to go back and tell Schiller's life.
But later, the more he saw, the more wrong he became. According to Schiller's development as a child, he should not be a soldier, but an agent. The difference between the two is huge.
Moreover, Batman has seen many badges on the soldier Schiller's uniform before. Many of these badges are real military medals. Batman knows them. These medals will not be awarded to people outside the military system.
So now, Batman knows two sets of Schiller's life through the picture. If he adds what he saw in DC Schiller's memory space before, there are already three sets.
The first story is that Schiller was a Soviet soldier and committed suicide in December 1991.
The second story is that Schiller was an agent trained by the KGB since childhood, and he was also a magician. He eventually served as the director of the KGB’s Eleventh Bureau.
The third story is that Schiller witnessed a massacre in an orphanage, became an experimental subject of a mysterious organization, escaped successfully, and finally entered the Ninth Management Institute.
If there were only two sets of lives, Batman could easily make up a complete story.
For example, if the second set and the third set are combined, it means that Schiller once witnessed a massacre in an orphanage in East Germany and became an experimental subject. After escaping, he lived in a country in the East.
He was cured of his illness in the management center and returned to the KGB.
If you combine the first set with the second set, it can be said that the KGB entered the military system to perform certain tasks. If the task failed, Schiller could only choose to commit suicide.
However, no matter which set of the first, second, and third sets of life are put together, there is always one set that is redundant and unreasonable.
Batman suspected that only one of the biographies was true, but he instinctively felt that they might all be true.
So what happened to that extra set?
Among them, what worries Batman the most is that the soldier Schiller committed suicide in December 1991, and now it is December 2, 1991, and his professor is still here well, and he does not look like
It looks like you can enter the military system instantly.
At that time, Batman couldn't hear the sound of the collapse of the Soviet Union coming from the radio. He thought it might be a prophecy, but he couldn't figure out the circumstances under which Schiller would choose to commit suicide.
Of course, Schiller had committed suicide in a phone booth before, in order to drag Batman and Constantine into hell together. However, when the soldier Schiller committed suicide, the atmosphere in the room made Batman feel a strong sense of tragedy.
He felt that this could not be a plan, and the despair of a hero's end shocked him deeply.
At this moment, Batman thought of the order in which these videos should be played.
Batman wonders if he should make things simpler. The fact is that Schiller committed suicide first and then returned to his childhood.
Thinking of this, Batman suddenly realized, because he had always felt that Schiller had a judgment about everyone around him that came from outside the facts, as if he had expected something. Could this be because he
Actually a reborn person?
Could it be that in his previous life, Schiller met everyone he knew in this life, including him, Batman, so Schiller had so many judgments based on facts other than facts.
The moment the dream shattered and Schiller's consciousness returned, Batman saw the hotel decoration from Schiller's field of vision. He judged that this should be the Sockworth Hotel, so he hurriedly came here.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the scene just like the first scene in Schiller's memory. Schiller was standing in front of the window, holding a pistol in his hand, his face was heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Batman looked at the calendar on the wall. Today is December 2, 1991.
"Calm down, professor." Batman walked up behind him. Schiller, who was holding a pistol, turned to look at him and asked, "Did you see everything?"
Batman remained silent and did not deny it. He recalled in his mind that Schiller's expression and temperament in the first scene were somewhat different from the professor standing in front of him now. It reminded Batman of another person, that person.
It was his butler Alfred.
At this moment, Batman had a thought in his mind, and he thought that the sad and tangled expressions Alfred had shown behind his back were actually all because of one thing - the Soviet Union.
What happened in the Soviet Union recently?
Batman didn't know that most of his understanding of the Soviet Union came from the news. He hadn't heard of any big news in the Soviet Union recently, so why did Schiller get into trouble at this time?
While Batman was thinking, Schiller sighed, closed the curtains, and refused to look at the lush broccoli outside the window.
Schiller thought that there was no way he could stay in Gotham, a hellish place full of broccoli. It just so happened that he could now follow the people from Bureau 11 back to Moscow to find out the current situation in the Soviet Union, and he could also take a vacation.
Stay away from this nasty broccoli.
So, Schiller said: "I know you have a lot of questions, but I don't have time to answer them now. I'm going to Moscow. I may not come back for a few months. Your graduation message and recommendation letter will be waiting for me when I come back."
talk later."
Batman's expression changed, he took a step to the side, blocked Schiller's way out of the room, and asked: "Why are you going to Moscow?"
"What do you think I was doing there?"
What Schiller was referring to was, don't you know who I am? Sooner or later, the KGB will have to go back to report on its duties, but Batman, who just saw that scene, understood it differently.
"Are you a Reborn?" Batman changed the subject.
Thinking of broccoli, Schiller nodded absently. The original Schiller was indeed a reborn person.
After Batman got the affirmative answer, he felt as expected. At that time, Schiller told Batman that he was cursed by the bat, and Batman was thinking about a question.
Is it really just because Schiller spent so much energy to cure him because he was cursed by Batman?
Batman doesn't think Schiller has any way to undo this curse. Looking back at his Batman four years ago, he deeply feels that it may be easier to undo the curse or change him.
But since Schiller has chosen a more difficult and longer road, there must be a reason. And if Schiller is a reborn person, then what was he like when he met himself in the last life? What is the ending?
Batman knows that there will be no good answers to these two questions, because as long as there is a good ending, Schiller will not spend so much effort to treat him in this life.
Thinking of this reason, Batman's eyes fell on the pistol in Schiller's hand.
Batman looked at Schiller, and then stretched out his hand. Schiller looked at his action with some confusion.
Seeing Schiller's eyes, Batman said calmly: "...I will not let the Soviet Union disintegrate."
Schiller instantly raised his eyes and stared directly at Batman, his eyes full of disbelief.
Then, Schiller took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, paused, turned his head to the side, but still put the Makarov pistol in Batman's hand.
Before Batman left, he glanced at the calendar on the wall, stood at the door, and said to Schiller: "I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance, Professor."
Schiller stood by the window, with his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, looking at Batman's leaving figure, and shook his head.
At this time, Schiller thought of another question, so he called Petrov in and asked him: "How did you determine my location?"
Faced with this question, Petrov was stunned for a moment, and then said: "A special comrade contacted us and told us that you were taken away by a team of Russian-speaking agents, but apart from us, Gotham
No one had an action order, so we naturally guessed that they might be CIA undercover agents."
"The Sokworth Hotel was originally the residence of the KGB. In order to win the trust of other agents, Andro will definitely bring you here, so we went straight to the door."
"Who contacted you?" Schiller asked.
Petrov walked directly to Schiller, picked up the phone, and said to the other side: "Hello, comrade, thank you for your message. We have successfully received the director."
The lines on Petrov's fingers gradually disappeared, and the skin on his hands stretched and looked younger.
The young and white hand put down the phone and looked in the direction of the sunlight in front of the window. The face revealed behind the phone was Lex Luthor.
"You're welcome...comrade."
Who is?
all!
