The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

The changes in Arkham Psychiatric Hospital were seen by gangsters big and small in Gotham. It is not that none of them are greedy for this piece of fat, but all the plans against Schiller were taken advantage of by him. The relationship was broken due to the situation.

Compared with Schiller, the gangsters that Bruce found troublesome in the past seem a bit unintelligent. The first way they think of is assassination. They are familiar with this matter, even if it is a small gangster, they can find out A killer or two.

But the deal between Schiller and Falcone brought him unexpected huge profits to the godfather. The godfather is already old, and he is eager to leave more capital to his descendants. Therefore, this The sudden windfall made him attach great importance to it. If the system can continue to operate, then the industry that Evans took over from him will be more stable.

Because of this, the entire Arkham Mental Hospital was tightly guarded by the godfather, and Schiller was his key protection object. For this reason, he hired the top security personnel at a high price.

The irreplaceability of Schiller is that Falcone saw the possibility of creating a new order from him. If this professor really brings more new changes to Gotham, then the Falcone family will seize the opportunity , must be able to occupy the most important place in these new orders.

Among the local snakes, the biggest one is going to save Schiller, and the other little snakes basically have nothing to do. Falcone has ruled the underground world of Gotham for so many years. Even if he is old, his power is still there. It hurt some vitality, let alone be tough with this godfather.

Of course, you can’t kill Schiller, you can also find a way to get him away, and then replace them with your own people. Not everyone has the vision of Falcone. They only think that if the person sitting in this position is For my own people, the profits here are astonishing. Even if you don’t talk about the wealth gains that may be brought about by the rules created by Schiller, holding such a place can make their power expand several times overnight.

They did not dare to face Falcone head-on, let alone snatch meat from the tiger's mouth, but it is still possible to make some small moves.

The gangsters in Gotham are also full of talents. Of course, some of them are smart people. They found the president of Gotham University, Seldon.

Seldon is also an old and unlucky guy. Originally, he wanted to recruit some new professors to check and balance Schiller, but he didn't expect that the newly recruited Freeze Man Victor not only didn't agree with him, but also quickly became one with Schiller. After a long time, the two became good friends who talked about everything, and Seldon's plan fell through again.

Before he was quiet for a long time, he was approached by gangsters again.

Seldon is an outsider, he has no influence in Gotham, but the rule of Gotham is that you must have at least one gangster standing behind you in order to speak confidently, Seldon didn't understand this, so he rejected those gangsters He was shot the next day on his way home from work.

It was still useful for those gangsters to keep him, so they didn't kill him. When he met those gang leaders in the hospital, Seldon understood the biggest survival rule of Gotham - if you have a gun, you better have one. More bullets than others, if you don't have a gun, then shut up and obey.

Seldon could justifiably call Schiller back to the school. After all, he is the principal. It is normal for the school's teaching staff to deal with any academic affairs. If the professor refuses these normal work arrangements, it will be him It doesn't make sense anymore.

Seldon made an excuse casually, and he felt that it was okay if Schiller didn't come back, so that he could use this to find trouble with him, but he was worried that he didn't have a reasonable excuse.

However, the day after Schiller received his call, he came back with a good attitude and acted in a timely manner. When Seldon saw him in the principal's office, he couldn't find anything wrong with him.

Seldon's excuse for calling Schiller back was just to deal with files and other chores. Schiller was working in the archives while remotely controlling the situation in the Arkham Psychiatric Hospital.

Seldon liked to be a cloud player watching Schiller's classroom before, and after Schiller came back this time, he also used surveillance to watch the file room.

Then, Schiller let him really see what it means to have a simple and honest Gotham City.

In the next few days, Seldon heard the names of the twelve largest gangster family leaders in Gotham from the conversations that Schiller answered the phone. Schiller asked them at least a hundred times in three days. Well, with the name of the gang leader, there are either nouns for various contraband, or some slang words about the smuggling location.

Among them, what scares Seldon the most is the repeated references in their conversation to manipulating the police, judges and juries, as casually as discussing what to eat for dinner.

Most importantly, one day, he heard Schiller say lightly: "...if this mayor can't do it, then replace him. Gotham's traffic situation is so bad, he should bear half the responsibility, since He doesn't have the ability to be responsible for this, and there is always one life..."

Seldon wanted to pack his bags and leave this damned city on the spot.

As time went by, Seldon heard Schiller's conversation becoming more and more outrageous, which began to involve some secrets of the Falcone family's fortune, including some of their rather secretive smuggling routes, and the ability to A plantation industry that brings in huge profits.

The more Seldon heard it, the more startled he became. Although he was not a native of Gotham, he had been in the political circles of other cities for so long, and his political sense was keen enough.

At this moment, Seldon knew that Professor Rodriguez, who taught psychology, was definitely not just a professor.

When something is beyond the scope of human cognition, human beings will always use their own association ability to make it reasonable, and the brain will automatically search for various matching details in memory to support this inference , and so did Seldon.

He thought, no wonder Schiller dared to send Bruce an expulsion notice so forcefully. He had no fear at all. This psychology professor may be Gotham's biggest behind-the-scenes manipulator. He secretly manipulated all twelve gangster families, It's the culprit behind Gotham's current chaotic situation.

The more Seldon thought about it, the more reasonable it became. After all, Schiller's astonishing resume didn't look like what an ordinary person could have, and he was able to escape from so many murders perfectly. big net.

Seldon felt that he was getting closer to the truth, could he be alone? Or an organization? Who does he represent? What are you doing? What kind of result do you want to get?

Seldon's associations with these questions frightened himself.

In his logic, Gotham gangsters are so rampant that it is normal for university professors to have connections with gangsters, just like in this school, most of the teachers and professors are more or less related to gangsters, or There are relatives and friends who work for the gang, or they themselves provide some professional services to the gang in exchange for safety and some extra money.

But this is not the reason why a professor can contact the largest gangster family in Gotham and participate in the secret business of the godfather at the same time. The evidence that makes Seldon firm in his mind is that Schiller's tone on the phone is not like other people In that way, he fears and flatters the gangsters.

His tone was always calm, as if everything was under control, and Seldon could tell that he was ruling the gang, not the gang controlling him.

Seldon felt that he was in a huge trouble. Schiller had the ability to influence Gotham's biggest gang, but he still chose to continue teaching at Gotham University. He even seemed to regard this position as very important. From Seldon's point of view Come to see, he has such a great ability, why not buy a villa in the wealthy area of ​​Gotham? Why bother cramming into the faculty apartment at Gotham University?

There is only one possibility, it is profitable for him to stay in Gotham University, or there must be something here that Seldon doesn't know, which is attracting this lunatic professor.

That's right, from Seldon's point of view, Schiller is a complete lunatic.

Gangsters are not docile little quail, especially the biggest gangs in Gotham.

The evil in this city is almost overflowing, and everyone who has been up and down in this sea of ​​evil for many years is almost soaked into evil itself, and can stand on the top of the waves in this environment and become the top of this dark city The trendiest people in the world, and any of them, is tantamount to seeking skins from tigers.

But Schiller, he's not only working with them, he's working with all of them at the same time, or he's even trying to manipulate them.

Seldon, who had just seen the viciousness of gangsters, would of course think Schiller's behavior was crazy.

It's like cutting the most deadly wire among hundreds of tangled wires. Once you cut it wrong, this group of wolves who are accustomed to eating flesh and blood will swarm up and devour such a daring person. net.

Seldon began to regret it, wouldn't it be good to let Schiller stay in Arkham Asylum? He finally went out, why on earth did he want to get him back?

It was as if he had managed to throw a time bomb out, and somehow picked it up himself.

Up to now, Seldon is praying frantically in his heart that nothing will happen to Schiller's tricks. If something happens, it must not affect Gotham University. Even if it affects Gotham University, it must not affect he.

However, Seldon was able to get to where he is today, he is still a bit quick-witted, he knows that going on like this is not going to work, he must take action.

One morning, Schiller went to the archives step by step, planning to work remotely while fishing.

As a result, as soon as he arrived, he found that there were at least two-thirds of the unfiled files from the previous day, and they had all been sorted out. He checked it full of doubts and found that all the work had indeed been done.

What's happening here? And conch girl?

However, the work is done, so there is no need to stay here anymore, Schiller walked down with a rather doubtful mood, just as he went downstairs, he ran into the principal Seldon, Schiller raised his hand Greeting him over coffee, Seldon walked over without saying a word with a dark face.

Well, Schiller thought, it seems that the principal still doesn't want to see him, but he is used to it. After all, since he sent Bruce the withdrawal notice, the principal has not given him any good looks.

But the only strange thing is that this spirited headmaster who usually likes to dress up looks a little haggard today, with two big dark circles under his eyes.
