Because it was still raining outside, before leaving the dormitory building, Victor took an umbrella and put on a raincoat, and buckled the hood of the raincoat to cover his face.
of rain.
This is a truth he learned after coming to Gotham. On rainy nights in Gotham, umbrellas cannot completely protect against the rain. At least, umbrellas other than Schiller's umbrella can't.
Victor walked out, intending to check who it was, but he was still wandering around the teachers' dormitory building so late.
He thought it might be a drunk student at a party. Such things often happened in Gotham University, and if he was left alone, he would probably freeze to death in the rainy night of the typhoon.
Victor walked around the dormitory building and came to the direction of the dormitory window from the side path, but there was no one there anymore.
Victor checked the ground and found that there were no obvious footprints, but there were some inconspicuous walking traces left in the puddles nearby.
Following this trace and heading west, Victor found that he was already close to the laboratory building of Gotham University. He frowned, but there was no nervous look on his face. Obviously, he had been prepared.
Suddenly, a "bang" sound came from the second floor of the laboratory building. Victor picked up his umbrella and walked quickly into the laboratory building. When he reached the second floor, he saw a stranger frozen into an ice sculpture in the corridor.
He doesn't look like a student. In addition to being the wrong age, he doesn't dress like him either.
He was wearing a blue uniform and a white hood with a furry rim on his head, which looked a bit like Inuit clothing. He also wore blue goggles.
There are two black horizontal bars on the glasses.
This outfit stunned Victor. Even in Gotham, this could be classified as a fancy dress.
Victor took another look at the weather outside. He was very sure that it was definitely not cold enough to wear such clothes. So why was the other party dressed like this? To prevent his own freezing device in advance?
However, Victor thought that when his freezing device froze people, the people inside were not cold.
The biggest advantage of the rapid freezing device is that everything inside can be completely maintained in its original state, and the freshness preservation performance is first-class. People staying inside will not feel cold, they just cannot move.
Victor came to this man, with one hand on his waist and the other hand holding a freezing gun, showing a very confused look. He asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The person trapped in the ice sculpture was also very helpless. He had never seen such ice-making technology, although he himself was also famous for creating low temperatures.
Captain Cold is a villain who also comes from Central City. He has a freezing gun that can create absolute zero. In a certain universe of comics, he even teamed up with Mr. Freeze to deal with Superman.
But now in this universe, whether it is technical level or social status, Captain Cold can only be said to be a low-end version of Mr. Freeze.
After all, Mr. Freeze is no longer Mr. Freeze, but Professor Victor, the guest of the entire Gotham gang.
It can be said that Victor Freese is absolutely safe walking on the streets of Gotham City at night, because all gangs will provide him with protection. If anything happens to him, they will invest in huge cold storages.
No one maintains it anymore.
Since the last time the cryogenic laboratory almost lost power, Victor has installed various protective devices for his laboratory, including freezing ray guns arranged in two corridors.
Not many people come to the laboratory, and most of them are on the white list. Even if a student accidentally breaks in occasionally, it will not cause any harm if it is frozen. You only need to adjust the freezing gun to another gear to defrost it smoothly.
.
However, the person caught this time was obviously not a student who wandered in by mistake, but seemed to be a miscreant with other agendas.
"How on earth did you do that?" Captain Cold in the ice asked: "This is impossible, how can this be ice? How can ice not be cold?"
Victor observed him carefully and found that he was also holding a gun in his hand. At this time, the gun's
There is some white mist coming out of the mouth.
Victor squatted down and observed the gun carefully. From some parts, he saw that it should also be a refrigerated gun.
"Are you also a cryogenic scientist?" Victor looked Captain Cold up and down with his eyes, and Captain Cold snorted and said: "Of course, no scientist in the world has the ability like me. I can do it in an instant.
Create absolute zero..."
Victor opened his mouth, touched his chin, and then said: "Have you not paid attention to journals recently? Haven't you paid attention to the recent low-temperature physics community?"
"Absolute zero is no longer a problem for humans in low-temperature physics. Only one of the six cutting-edge papers published recently is related to this. The hottest topic now is dense ice, which may be the development direction of new materials in the future...
"
"To... dense ice?" Captain Cold repeated the word and asked, "What is that? Is it also a kind of ice? As long as it is ice..."
Victor covered his forehead and said, "Are you really a physicist? Do you really not read any papers? Do you really not pay attention to the news in the industry?"
"Now, ice has been divided into two types: narrow ice and generalized ice. The so-called narrow ice is what we often call ordinary ice, while generalized ice includes dense ice or the same, which can meet certain material science requirements.
Special type of ice. Now, low-temperature physics is moving towards materials science. You..."
Victor hesitated for a moment and said, "You are wearing these clothes, could it be because you can't resist the low temperature created by yourself?"
Captain Cold immediately showed a gnashing expression. He tried to tighten his muscles and asked loudly: "So, how did you do it? How can ice not be cold? Is what is not cold still ice?!"
"Do you think ice must be cold?" Another voice appeared in the corridor. Victor turned around and saw Schiller's figure at the end of the corridor, and then he heard Schiller say:
"In this world, things are not what they were when they were born, and they should always be what they are. Ice is like this, and people are the same. Ice can change, and people can also be educated. I think you just lack a certain amount of education.
.”
Schiller's voice became colder and colder, and Victor unconsciously took a step back. He saw that Schiller walked to Captain Cold's ice sculpture, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and then took out another one.
Pen, asked: "Name?"
"Why should I answer you?" Captain Cold said in a louder voice.
"I guess you're here to pick up your friend, right? That guy named Sam?" Schiller said without raising his head: "I don't know if he has told you that he has me on him now.
If I don’t break the curse for him, he will die tomorrow.”
"You..." Captain Cold gritted his teeth and said, "You despicable guy! Murder is a crime!"
"Oh, I forgot, you guys don't kill people." Schiller raised his head and glanced at Captain Cold, and said, "But I'm sorry, I kill people."
Captain Cold and Mirror Master both belong to Central City's rogue gang. The name of the rogue gang sounds a bit sinister, but in fact, this gang is very principled.
The gang rules they set are even stricter than the rules for elementary school students. In addition to not killing people, they can't even urinate and defecate in public. It can be said that they are a group of villains with a very high moral bottom line in DC.
Having a high moral bottom line has the advantage of having a high moral bottom line, but it also has disadvantages, especially when they are locked up.
"Leonard Snart." Captain Cold said reluctantly.
"Age?...Forget it, it's definitely not the school age anyway." Schiller drew a line across this line and said, "But it doesn't matter. We don't look at age here, only level. Your educational background is..."
"Graduated from high school." Captain Cold replied.
Victor's eyes widened and he said: "You didn't go to college? Then how did you develop this gun? The liquid storage technology and launcher technology here are very advanced, very similar to the one I am using now.
, if you didn’t go to college, where did you learn these things?”
cold
The captain moved his eyelids, as if he didn't want to talk about this question, but seeing Schiller and Victor staring at him, he said, "My parents don't care about me. I went to prison and studied on my own there."
Victor's eyes widened, he looked at him again and said, "Self-taught? Is this possible? This..."
Suddenly, he took a deep breath, looked at Schiller and said, "Has the registration form been filled out? I will take him to the Academic Affairs Office to register. He will first go to the Technical College to adapt for two days, so that he can be admitted to this college with the first batch of students.
Then we can look at the scientific research qualifications..."
Schiller handed him the registration form and asked with a smile: "Now, who wants to sell matches?"
Victor smiled, took the registration form, waved it in front of Captain Cold, and said, "Now, I can help you unfreeze, but you have to follow me to register..."
"Sign up? What are you signing up for?"
"Sign up to go to college." Schiller replied: "Whatever reason you did not go to college, now this professor, Victor Fries, the most famous cryogenic scientist in the world, has judged that you have
The potential to become a low-temperature physicist, and I have extended an olive branch to you."
Before Captain Cold could say anything, Schiller continued: "I want to warn you in advance, this opportunity is only available once. If you miss it, you will be insulated from the academic world forever."
"What I want to say is that I really want to learn this technique." Captain Cold replied: "This is really amazing. It can freeze people into the ice, but they don't feel cold at all. I have never seen it before.
Such technology!"
"It seems that you don't need to buy or sell by force." Schiller rolled his eyes. He looked at Victor and said, "You will always have better luck than me."
Victor said happily: "Of course."
After Victor used the freezing gun to defrost Captain Cold, he did not run away, but looked at the ice in that area very seriously. He said, "How to solve this thing? Will it melt?"
"No, it will sublimate directly, but it will not absorb heat. I can't tell you the specific principle now, but you will definitely learn it in the future."
When they arrived at Victor and Schiller's office, Mirror Master and Captain Cold stared at each other. Schiller stood between them, stretched out his hand, snapped his fingers, and said, "I don't want to pursue it, who is it?"
Who did you call? Since you are all enrolled in school, you are your classmates. Now go back to bed and have class at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning..."
Mirror Master and Captain Cold looked at each other. Finally, the two of them left the office. On the way to the dormitory, Mirror Master said, "What happened to you? How did you get caught by him?"
"He has mastered a new cryogenic technology that I have never seen before, but that's not the point..." Captain Cold looked around and said: "Sam, you are still young and don't understand many principles. You can't really
Do you think we can get some good results by following that Savage?"
"But he is really an immortal! He knows many things that we don't understand, and he may really be able to rule the world!" Mirror Master retorted.
"You think he knows a lot of things that we don't understand, just because you know too little." Captain Leng said very calmly: "Do you remember what I said at the beginning?"
"Even if we want to be a villain who rules the world, we have to rely on our own strength. Others can never be relied on."
