The next day, Schiller got up early again. Having guessed the man behind the scenes, he no longer had any interest in solving any mystery cases, because he knew that if the man behind the scenes was really the person he thought, he would not be able to solve the case here.
Any storms, or even not showing up at all.
In fact, it is very unreasonable for him to exist in this universe. Schiller believes that he may have adopted some special means to deceive certain detection systems, but this is not important.
Because he has not created any works of art in places where he can appear openly, and now it is even more impossible to sneak here. He might as well go see Lisa more during this time.
Schiller decided to stay in Texas for a while. On the one hand, he wanted to keep an eye on Lisa and the Oakes. On the other hand, if Nightmare really targeted Lisa, he should be able to catch this guy easily by squatting there.
.
Schiller and Ultron were packing their luggage. Ultron suddenly remembered something while helping Schiller organize his clothes, and then asked: "By the way, doctor, what was that video tape you got back last night? That wedding documentary was filmed again.
Is there a new season yet?”
Schiller then remembered that he had gotten the sample back last night. He shook his head and said, "No, no, it's a movie."
"Movie? Mr. Bullock is making a new movie? Do you need my help to get good reviews?"
Schiller rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Do you only know how to get good reviews? Look at Venom, he has graduated with excellence in journalism."
"But robots are not allowed to create art." Ultron shrugged and said, "All our information sources come from the Internet, and we draw on too many copyrighted materials during the learning process, so the artwork produced is very
May be suspected of infringement."
"I know you're not the kind of artificial intelligence that only knows low-level suturing." Schiller put the books and medical records into his bag and said, "Besides, suturing is the true meaning of journalism."
"Don't think about it, doctor, I won't slander anyone." Ultron turned around to pack the toiletries and said: "Especially not slander Mr. Bullock. I like the documentaries directed by him very much."
Schiller sighed and said, "You were led astray by them too."
"I think you should also reflect on your own reasons, doctor. If you don't have qualities worthy of being popular, then you won't be popular. In the final analysis, you are too special."
"Today is another day when ordinary people fail." Schiller smiled and said, "I should let mediocrity come out."
"Then it's not the biggest problem whether you are popular or not." Ultron seemed to have thought of something, shook his head vigorously and said, "I think it's not that difficult to be a big star, what do you think?"
At this time, Schiller had already packed up the things upstairs and walked downstairs. He had to pick up the videotape. He paused slightly as soon as he walked downstairs.
Is this how the tape was placed on the table yesterday?
Schiller thought about it, but he didn't actually think about it carefully. It was just his bad taste, and it wouldn't really cause any harm. At most, it was disgusting, and it wasn't worth spending so much energy to prevent it.
Schiller took the video tape and put it into the bag containing books upstairs. At this time, the suitcase was packed. Ultron went downstairs to put the body away, and Schiller called the shuttle.
When we landed in Texas, the sun was shining brightly, but dark clouds were gathering in the distance, and it looked like it was going to rain. The person who came to pick up Schiller this time was Lisa's father, a typical old Texas farmer, who is usually helpful, but occasionally has a bad temper.
irritable.
Schiller learned from him that Lisa's condition had gotten much better. She was now focused on the possible children and had even begun to select foals for her future children.
Oaks' condition improved slightly, but his recovery was much slower than Lisa's. Lisa's family all liked this upright, hard-working and capable son-in-law, so Lisa's family had so many children, including several pet dogs and several pets.
The cat has been accompanying Oakes. His physical condition has improved a lot, but his spirit is still very depressed.
When he saw Oakes again, Schiller found that he was much fatter than when he was on the space station and had basically returned to his previous figure, but his expression was still a little stiff and numb.
Schiller also wanted to give him a thorough treatment this time. Certain things, especially those in his professional field, must have a result. Even if there is indeed a piece of stinking shit behind him, he must at least know these ordinary people.
How did it get stained with shit?
However, he did not have the ability to directly read memories like Charles, so he had to use traditional methods to hypnotize Oaks again. As long as he could grasp a few clues, Schiller could deduce the whole story.
After putting down his luggage, having a good meal with Lisa's family, and visiting the farm and looking at the foal that Lisa had prepared for his future child, Schiller and Oaks came to his room.
With Oakes's cooperation, the hypnosis process went very smoothly. Schiller stepped into the depths of memory step by step, and as expected, discovered a few problems.
Everyone working on the Star Core Space Station has a standard communication device. Oaks often uses this communication device to call Lisa. Jarrah also confessed before that he was instructed by Baker to put a capable communication device on this communication device.
Something that sprays poison.
Schiller initially guessed that this was a prerequisite for hypnosis. As he said before, if the other party does not cooperate, hypnosis must be combined with drugs, otherwise the other party will easily wake up. Oakes' various behaviors later confirmed that he may be taking drugs.
, the problem lies in this poison.
But combined with the known facts, a doubt arises, that is, there is no one who can hypnotize Oaks.
Neither Sophia nor Baker could do such a professional job, and there was no mention in various surveillance and eyewitness reports that Oaks had contact with other psychiatrists.
After most of the components of the space station were salvaged, the black box gradually came into play, and Oakes' life trajectory was clearly understood. And hypnosis cannot be completed in a few seconds. It will take at least more than an hour. This kind of long-term hypnosis
Basically, it needs to be consolidated every few days, but Oakes has never been missing for such a long time.
Baker's gang must have had a certain influence on Oakes and used Oakes to achieve their goals. However, they were either the real culprits or because the most important link in the evidence chain was missing. They did not have a professional psychiatrist.
Schiller did not find any traces of hypnosis during the investigation of Oakes' memory. So far, the only one who can modify other people's memories without Schiller discovering it is probably the elderly Professor X, but he did not do this.
Motive, based on Schiller's understanding of Professor X, he would not do such a thing to ordinary people.
Then Schiller had to make a conjecture, that is, Oakes's spiritual world had indeed been touched, but not by hypnosis, but by another method that is still unknown so far.
In the same way, Robbins who has not been caught yet, Sandman who suddenly collapsed emotionally and lost control, Sophia who suddenly appeared and Mysterio who was influenced by her, are most likely affected by this method.
But it must be said that this method is very clever and deeply hidden. At least Schiller did not find any abnormalities in Oaks's spiritual world.
Of course, Schiller had not suspected Nightmare, but Nightmare had been to Lisa's spiritual world last time. After Schiller examined Lisa, he found that Nightmare could not leave no trace, and last time Natasha said that the detective
Traces of magical activity have been detected, which means that the method adopted by the nightmare is actually a kind of magic, which makes it impossible to walk on the snow without leaving a trace.
Schiller vaguely guessed something. Investigative techniques were not the top priority now. He had to find a way to cure Oakes. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the two of them to successfully ignite the soul of the Son of Order, and the nightmare would continue to haunt Lisa.
Schiller tried to use the most basic psychological medicine methods to treat Oakes' mental problems, but the effect was not significant. This time he came to prescribe medicine for Oakes. He brought some basic psychotropic drugs, which could at least improve Oakes's mental problems.
sleep state.
Oaks took the medicine and fell asleep. Lisa stood at the bottom of the stairs with some worry and looked up. When Schiller walked down, Lisa made a mouth gesture to him, obviously asking him if Oaks was okay.
Schiller shook his head. The process of fighting the disease was destined to be long. It also took almost a year to treat the psychological shadow of Robert Speedball, but he would rather adopt this conservative method than get over it overnight like the young Charles.
Using this kind of ordinary medical treatment method is slow at best, but accidents will almost never happen, but it is not necessarily the case with other methods. Ordinary people are really too fragile.
When he woke up the next morning, Oaks's face looked slightly better. Apparently enough sleep had relieved his fatigue.
But over the next few days, treatment progress stalled.
Schiller changed several types of medicine, but Oakes' stiff and numb state never improved. He also conducted several hypnotic treatments, but to no avail.
Logically speaking, the initial treatment effect should be the most obvious. If there is no relief at the beginning of treatment, it means that the disease is quite difficult.
Schiller began to wonder if something was locked into Oakes' condition. He called Professor X again to have him check it out. This time Professor
I searched all over, but still found nothing.
Very good, Schiller thought, it seems that someone wants to defeat me in an area where I am good at, but will I let you succeed so easily?
Schiller came upstairs and found Oakes. He said: "Sir, after this incident, I believe that you have a certain understanding of the true nature of this world. Whether you believe it or not, I have someone who can help you."
A way to return to normal in an instant, but you must cooperate with me."
Oaks nodded and said: "No matter what you want to do, I will cooperate with you. Lisa has been looking forward to this child for too long, and I don't want the problem to happen to me."
"Okay, sir, please lie down on the bed."
Oaks did as he was told. He closed his eyes, thinking that this was another normal hypnosis. Soon he felt a cold thing sticking to his neck. He was a little confused, but still didn't move. He obviously believed it.
This psychiatrist.
The next second, the cold blade cut open the trachea, and Oaks suffocated instantly. After dozens of seconds, what lay on the bed turned into a cold corpse.
Schiller put away the scalpel in his hand with a normal expression.
