The new principal, Seldon, is actually quite capable and experienced, and has a wide range of connections. The only problem is that his luck is really bad.
No, perhaps it should be said that it is very poor.
His friends helped him nominate six professors in total, and one of them happened to meet one of the villains of Gotham in the future, Mr. Freeze Victor Fries.
After Seldon checked their files, he planned to hire three of them, which happened to include Mr. Freeze Victor Fries.
After the invitation letters were sent out, only one professor accepted the offer from Gotham University, and that happened to be Mr. Freeze Victor Freese.
Gotham University is really in a miserable state. It has just subdued a few demons and captured a few more demons. A Scarecrow, Jonathan, has just left, and another Mr. Freeze, Victor, has arrived.
Moreover, Victor seemed to need this job very much. Before Schiller could communicate with Bruce to stop Seldon's hiring, the invitation letter had just been sent out at noon the day before, and Victor had already arrived at Gotham University in the afternoon of the next day.
, this speed is as if he is almost out of food if he doesn't do this job.
But fortunately, just like the Scarecrow, Victor is now just an ordinary scholar and professor.
In fact, Schiller knew that even the later Mr. Freeze was relatively mild among Gotham's villains. He usually liked to freeze Batman and then talk to him about philosophy and art. Most of his paranoia and madness were revealed.
It comes from the love for his wife, not necessarily against Batman or Gotham.
The Victor Schiller saw was very similar to himself. Both of them were very typical scholars. Victor was tall and tall, wearing a pair of glasses. The collar and cuffs of his suit were meticulously taken care of. Although his expression
He looked a little haggard, but he still looked like a knowledgeable professor.
Each professor has his own independent office, but there are also public offices where everyone sits together for activities and chats. After Jonathan left, his public office became vacant. This time Victor came, and he happened to be sitting there.
Jonathan's original position was next to Schiller.
During the first chat with Victor, Schiller discovered that Victor's eyes had been staring at the ring on Schiller's ring finger.
After a while, he finally brought the topic to family, and then asked: "You seem to be married. Is your wife also in Gotham now?"
In European and American countries, it is actually not polite to talk about each other's marital status when meeting for the first time. Some people may feel that this violates their privacy.
It can be seen that Victor is not in a good mental state now. He seems to be very anxious and wants to seek approval.
Schiller was stunned for a moment after hearing this question. He didn't know how to answer it. He couldn't tell the other party that he had a symbiote that he had watched too many TV series, right?
Schiller's silence was understood by Victor to have another meaning.
People are like this. When they are insecure and extremely anxious, they will unconsciously look for similar people, hoping to find comfort from their experiences that are the same as theirs.
Victor thought of Schiller's somewhat astonishing resume, and he thought that perhaps among those thrilling detective stories, there might be a more poignant love story than his.
With this sense of identity as "the same fallen people in the world", Victor and Schiller quickly became familiar with each other.
In subsequent exchanges, Schiller discovered that he and Victor did have a lot in common. Victor liked to talk about ancient philosophy, modern art and religious art the most, and Schiller also liked theology and philosophy. They
The two of them had so much in common that they could even chat for a whole afternoon when there was no class.
Schiller didn't expect that the first close friend he found after traveling through time would be the villain Mr. Freeze.
But I have to say that Mr. Freeze, who has not yet become a villain, is actually very charming. He is always gentle, has strong empathy, speaks in a gentle and organized manner, and has unique insights when talking about some issues.
, Chatting with him reminded Schiller of his previous life’s debates with experts in the same field, which always produced countless sparks of thinking.
This moderate villain gives people a pretty good impression, and this is something everyone in the office recognizes.
As the communication with Victor deepened, Schiller also learned about his current situation. Victor had used cryogenic technology to seal his wife, but this technology costs a lot of money and requires a site with harsh conditions.
.
The research institute that originally funded his research was unwilling to provide space for Victor due to insufficient funds, so Victor hurriedly came to Gotham University, not only because the salary offered here was not bad, but also for the Wayne family.
He paid to build a cryogenic laboratory here, where he could ensure that his wife would always be in a frozen state and her condition would not worsen.
If you combine Mr. Freeze's later stories, his behavior may seem a bit abnormal, but in fact, most of the office colleagues can understand Victor. In this era, many people have proposed that patients with paralysis
The theory is that people who cure diseases should be frozen until medical technology develops.
And Victor is just the forerunner.
Schiller believed that Victor Fries, even if he had not suffered an experimental accident and became Mr. Freeze, would still be a fairly reliable ally.
Compared to the little bat that hasn't grown up yet, Mr. Freeze, who possesses the world's cutting-edge cryogenic technology and is full of knowledge, seems more reliable.
If you want to solve Mr. Freeze's troubles forever, you still have to solve his wife's degenerative disease first.
Schiller followed Victor to visit the cryogenic chamber where his wife was sealed. Mrs. Frith was not very beautiful, she was just an ordinary white woman, but Victor always looked at her with love in his eyes.
Schiller asked the symbiote in his mind: "Is there a way?"
The symbiote said: "The nerves are atrophied, which is very troublesome."
Victor looked at the cryogenic warehouse and said: "My wife's neurodegenerative disease is almost incurable. Her nerve cells died so fast. I only had time to seal her up. It is impossible to reverse it. Even if it can be barely controlled,
Cell death and immune inflammation can also damage her brain..."
Victor squatted down, and anyone could hear the despair in his voice. Perhaps he himself also knew that by freezing his wife and waiting for a solution that might never come, he was actually just deceiving himself.
Schiller frowned and thought. He thought that although Victor was one of Gotham's most famous villains and indeed the world's top cryogenic scientist, professional matters had to be left to professionals. For example, a certain
A more top neurosurgeon.
The next day, Schiller returned to Marvel's New York.
When Strange saw Schiller at his home, he threw the coat he had just taken off on the porch next to him, and then said: "Oh my God, you just showed up in my house like this!"
"I haven't settled the accounts with you yet. You sold my information to an organization."
"That's what they asked me, and there's nothing I can do about it."
In the process of staring at Schiller, Strange had no choice but to stop. He said: "Okay, but you can't expect me to do anything like a well-trained agent."
Say, and it was indeed you who threatened me first."
"Forget about this, I have a way to make a fortune. Do you want to hear about it?"
Strange asked rather suspiciously: "How to make a fortune? If there is such a way, would you come to me? I heard that you gave that Stark a consultation fee of 1 million US dollars per hour, and he actually paid
agreed!"
"When I heard the news, I couldn't wait to go back to college to study psychology!"
"Now, there is a lady who suffers from a very serious neurodegenerative disease, and her husband may have a unique low-temperature patented technology in the world. You know, the kind of technology that can last a lifetime just from the patent fees."
"If you can cure this lady's disease, then we can share this patent together."
Strange pursed his lips and sighed, "I'll say it again, I'm a doctor, not God."
"Do you think you can't cure this disease?"
"But first, shouldn't you let me see the patient first instead of you, a second-rate dealer?"
"Due to some reasons, I'm afraid you won't be able to see her, but I have all her pathological information here."
As he spoke, Schiller conjured a large pile of paper out of thin air. Strange took it and took a few cursory glances before shaking his head and saying, "It's impossible, we can't save it, just give up."
Just as Schiller was about to speak, Strange said: "This is no longer a matter of neuroscience. If you want to restore her to full health, the difficulty is almost equivalent to restoring a piece of cooked bacon to a pig.
."
Then he looked Schiller up and down, and finally his eyes fell on the ring on his ring finger. Strange said: "...Well, my wording just now was a bit absolute, otherwise you can find someone else.
Although I don’t think there is a better neurosurgeon in the world than me.”
"What if you teamed up with Stark?"
Strange was about to deny it, but he thought for a while and said: "That Stark may have some research on mechanics, but if his technology is to be applied to neurosurgery, it still requires a lot of research and transformation. If you can
If you convince him to spend so much effort to study this technology, then I can give it a try, but you'd better prepare a consultation fee that satisfies me."
Before Strange finished speaking, Schiller had already disappeared. Thinking of the ring he saw on Schiller's hand just now, and thinking of Schiller's attitude, Strange had obviously misunderstood something. He sighed,
Said to himself: "Ha, love... is really stupid."
Schiller suddenly appeared behind Stark, startling him, and then he shouted loudly: "I know you have this kind of magic! But it's not like you can walk up to a 30-story building without using an elevator.
Reason! Aren't you afraid of being stuck in the wall?"
Schiller said: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can magic teleportation be stuck in the wall? That's too stupid."
"I hope I don't get a call from a maintenance man one day telling me there's a human-shaped hole in one of the walls of Stark Tower."
"Okay, I came to see you on business."
Schiller took out the pile of information again.
Ten minutes later, Stark said: "Actually, you have found the right person. I have some research on neurology."
He walked around the table with his pen and said as he walked: "You know, last time I got a lot of biomechanical information from Obadiah's database, and there are some technologies related to the transformation of the nervous system to adapt to mechanical control."
"Although these technologies are very dangerous, it cannot be denied that if successful, it will allow the human body to control mechas with greater precision than ever before."
"If the machine can receive commands directly from the nerve center, it will eliminate the time required for secondary operations and allow all armors to truly use their arms and fingers."
"So you can do it?"
"No, it's not possible yet. Obadiah's research on this technology is still at a bottleneck. There is a key technical threshold that needs to be broken through. We don't have any ideas yet."
