Schiller stood at the door and was stunned for a full two minutes. Then he turned back, rubbed his eyes, turned back again, and saw that the sky was still full of broccoli outside. He took a deep breath and said in his heart:
"Grey fog! Gray fog! Did you steal some wine again? Didn't I tell you? You can't drink too much crazy wine, otherwise it will cause me to hallucinate!"
"Well... Judging from the information sent from your optic nerve, those things you just saw are probably not hallucinations." Hui Wu said hesitantly.
Schiller swallowed his saliva first, took a step back, and said to Hui Wu in his heart: "You mean, these broccoli flowers appear in the real world...are you sure???!!"
"Yes, I am sure that symbionts and humans experience the world differently. We do not observe the world through a specific organ."
"However, according to the analysis of the information just returned by the symbiont factor, there are currently more than 1,400 broccoli flowers in front of you, and the smallest individual among them is about 14 times larger than the vegetable broccoli consumed by humans..."
Schiller took another step back.
He opened the umbrella with a bang, then covered his forehead with his hands, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "Oh my god, what is going on? Is the world going to be destroyed? Gotham is going to be destroyed?"
!!!”
At this moment, Pamela and Catwoman, who had just gone to change clothes, came down the stairs of the laboratory building. Seeing Schiller still waiting at the door, Catwoman stepped forward with some confusion and said: "Professor Schiller
, why are you still here? Oh, I get it, the car is broken down, it doesn’t matter, I can find one for you, I believe the owner of the car won’t mind..."
Seeing them walking down, Schiller seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. He stood a step aside to make room for Catwoman, then pointed at the door with slightly trembling fingertips and said: "Please help me take a look.
, am I hallucinating? What are the green unknown objects outside?!"
"Unidentified green object?" Catwoman frowned and glanced at the door, then said in surprise: "God, why are there so many broccoli flowers outside? It seems like the original vines have all turned into broccoli.
flower?"
She stood at the door and observed carefully for a while, and then said: "However, it seems that this is a good thing. The broccoli is much larger than the vines. Originally, these vines could only wrap around the feet of those crazy people. This
This should be enough to make them unable to move."
Schiller stood there and fell into a daze. At this time, he returned to the top of the thinking tower, and then said rather frantically: "Quick, quick, quick!! Someone is here!!! Someone is here to replace me!!!
I'm going to suffer from allergies. If you don't float up, I'm going to faint!!!"
"Superego? Superego?" Are you there? Schiller raised his head and shouted into the air: "Hurry up! Find a substitute! I can't even play this class for a minute!!!"
"There is no substitute." The cold and ruthless voice of the superego came: "The only stable personalities that can rise to the surface consciousness are you and another guy. If you want to find a substitute, go find him."
With a "ding dong" sound, the elevator door opened, and Marvel Schiller walked out of the elevator. He looked at DC Schiller eagerly, and then said: "You have allergies, right? Hey, man, like this
Your condition is not suitable for work. I will go up and take your place now. Don’t worry, I will never cause any trouble..."
DC Schiller stood there and hesitated for less than a second, and then walked to the elevator with a resolute attitude.
Standing in the middle of the elevator, before the elevator door closed, he pointed his umbrella at Marvel Schiller and said: "I would rather endure the broccoli allergy than endure the day and night accounting jobs you found for me.
side effect!"
With the faint sound of electricity, the elevator door closed. After DC Schiller left, Marvel Schiller shrugged and said, "It's not my fault."
After DC Schiller returned again, he turned into gray mist and came to the roof of the laboratory building. This kind of building is not too high, but it can barely see the situation in the entire Gotham University.
As he saw when he stood at the door, broccoli flooded the entire city, but as Catwoman said, to a certain extent, this was a good thing, because the broccoli was too dense.
, trapping those irrational lunatics.
Of course, some people who have not yet been infected are buried in the broccoli, but because they still have their senses, they can struggle and call for help, and will be rescued soon.
As for those who have been infected, their claws have become sharp. Although they can scratch human skin, they are still not enough for plant stems.
They can scratch the skin of broccoli stems, but they cannot cut off the entire broccoli like an axe, so they can only swing their limbs and be helplessly trapped among the huge broccoli.
.
The broccoli that invaded Gotham is not the kind that is usually placed on the dining table. First of all, they are much larger than ordinary broccoli. According to Schiller's visual inspection, the largest broccoli is about tens of meters tall.
, the smallest one is at least half a meter.
Moreover, each broccoli flower grows very completely, and the dark spherical structure in the upper part is very full, so that each one is like a mushroom cloud, with different sizes and heights, and there is a strange beauty in it.
On the skyline of Gotham, one after another dark green broccoli flowers are mixed in the steel jungle, just like food that is often eaten by people, who finally awakened their unyielding will and collectively took revenge on mankind.
However, the actual effect achieved is not revenge on humans, because in fact, broccoli does not contain common allergens in nature.
At the same time, it does not have the unique fragrance of coriander or celery. Most people don’t like broccoli because they just don’t like its taste and texture, but it does not reach the level of physiological allergy.
Many people know that physiological allergies can have many very serious symptoms, including itchy skin, difficulty breathing and even shock. Severe allergic reactions may lead to death.
However, Schiller is not physically allergic to broccoli, so he will not have the above-mentioned severe reaction, and even if it does, the gray mist can forcibly reverse this reaction. His allergy to broccoli is a psychological allergy, just a little bit.
serious.
"Grey Fog, take me back to the manor quickly. I have to pack my luggage. I can't stay in Gotham anymore. I'm going to Metropolis...ah, no, no, the entire East Coast...forget it, I'm going to Los Angeles...
...Perhaps, the entire United States also..." Schiller said breathlessly.
At this point, Schiller was suddenly stunned. He said to himself: "If Gotham, as a seaside city, was invaded by broccoli, wouldn't there be a lot of broccoli seeds along Gotham's path?"
The drainage system goes into the Pacific Ocean??!!!”
"Oh God, I'm afraid the whole earth can't survive!"
"Hai Wu, take me back to the manor quickly. I'm going to ask Merkel if the Soviet Union has any plans to land on the moon recently..."
Schiller turned into a cloud of mist and floated back to the Rodriguez Manor. Schiller, who was a little unconscious, landed directly in front of the gate of the manor and walked towards the buildings of the manor.
The good news is that the interior of the manor was not invaded. Everything was normal in the living room and stairs. Schiller didn't even notice that his housekeeper Merkel was missing. He ran up the stairs almost in a panic and started packing his luggage.
While putting his usual clothes in the suitcase, he cursed and said: "Don't let me know who did it..."
After saying that, he continued to pack his luggage and speculated in a daze: "The only one who has the ability to turn all plants into broccoli is the green of all things, but we have just reached a deal, and the terms of the deal are beneficial to both parties.
Yes, he doesn’t have to do this..."
"Besides, he didn't know that I was allergic to broccoli, and knowing this..." Schiller thought of the three people he saw in the memory space in his room. He folded the clothes and stuffed them into the box.
Li, snorted coldly and said: "It is indeed the three of them..."
"Except for the magician dressed as Zatanna, all that's left is Batman and Constantine."
"Batman? Didn't I just block his graduation thesis for several months? Didn't I just throw it into the chemical dye barrel? Is he so cautious?"
"Constantine? This damn bastard! Didn't I just hit him a few times with my umbrella? Didn't I just use the cursed soul to throw a scapegoat at him? Doesn't he know how to be more tolerant?"
"Despicable, dirty, taking advantage of others' danger..."
Just when Schiller turned back to the closet and arranged his suit, he suddenly thought, where is his butler?
Schiller was quite reassured about Merkel's ability. The problem was that there were too many strange situations recently, so he stopped what he was doing, put his clothes aside, and glanced outside the door.
There was no Merkel in the corridor, which was actually very strange. As a housekeeper, she should have greeted Schiller when he came in. No matter how busy he was at the time, he would definitely show up a few minutes later to ask about the employer's needs.
It had been more than ten minutes since I entered the room and started packing my luggage, and Merkel had not appeared at all.
Schiller turned his head and glanced at the wardrobe and suitcase that were a little messy due to his angry actions. He sighed and decided to find a professional to do this.
Schiller went out, walked through the corridor, went down the stairs, and came to the living room. Then through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, he saw his housekeeper Merkel holding a huge ax and chopping down a tree.
It's not quite accurate to say that he was cutting down a tree. What he was cutting down was the huge broccoli that had been transformed from the original oak tree in the center of the garden.
Before Schiller returned to the manor, Merkel, who was tidying up the garden, witnessed how these plants turned into broccoli. What he knew better was how much Schiller knew about broccoli.
Hate.
When he discovered this abnormality, he almost hurriedly picked up all the tools that could be used to repair plants and began to eradicate the broccoli in the garden to prevent his employer from having too severe allergies after returning to the manor.
Go crazy with the reaction.
There are not many other flowers and plants alive, and in addition to the damage caused by the collapse of the awning before, most of them were scattered into mud and crushed into dust. The strongest one is the oak tree in the middle of the yard, so it turned into broccoli.
, is also the largest.
When Merkel saw that such a big broccoli was left, Schiller would go crazy when he came back, so of course he would find a way to cut down this huge broccoli.
Schiller, who watched Merkel cutting down trees, did not yet realize the seriousness of the problem.
He was delirious now, so he didn't realize that broccoli was also a herb after all. An ax used to cut down woody trees was a bit like killing a chicken with a machete when dealing with the stems of broccoli.
It happened that Merkel had received professional training and was much stronger than the average person. He was also very anxious and wanted to eradicate the evidence before Schiller came back. So, with a few axes, the stem of the huge broccoli was
, a huge gap appeared.
It just so happened that where Merkel was standing was halfway blocked by the trunk of the broccoli tree. Schiller couldn't see the wound she made on the trunk of the broccoli tree.
Schiller stood by the floor-to-ceiling window and wanted to call Merkel back, but suddenly he noticed a shadow appearing above his head.
The tall broccoli, which was as tall as an oak tree, was slowly falling towards him.
At the critical moment, Schiller's flash of light saved his life. With a loud "boom", the huge broccoli smashed the floor-to-ceiling window glass of the living room and a small half of the building on the west side of the manor.
What's even more frightening is that the branch of the broccoli that smashed into the living room was closest to Schiller and less than ten centimeters from his nose. One flower per person, with four eyes facing each other.
So, about five minutes later, Batman saw a weak and pale Schiller that he had never seen before in the hall of Rodriguez Manor.
