Chapter 2542: Xiao Xiao Down (Twenty-six)
Schiller wanted to write him a reply now, but after thinking about it, he thought that after Anatoly sobered up, he would slap his head and want to withdraw these crazy records. There was no need to write back to mock him so early, and he didn't think the postman at the door could help him deliver the letter.
He now has more important things to do, which is to prepare for the housewarming party, and the first thing to do is to write the invitations.
People who are more particular will customize invitations or have their own special invitation templates, but Schiller does not want to go through so much trouble. He plans to just take a photo of his new house and then go to a printing shop to print it out as postcards as invitations.
Schiller walked around the outside of the house and found that the exterior of the house was not distinctive enough, so he decided to take pictures of the interior. He took out his camera and walked around the restaurant twice, and then looked at the living room. He decided to take pictures of the place where he would receive medical treatment in the future, as an advertisement.
The shutter clicked continuously and soon the photo was taken. Schiller picked out one with good angle and lighting from many photos and saved it, then drove to the printing shop in the community.
Because it is a wealthy area, they are very familiar with this job. Schiller first selected the weight of the cardboard, and then the printing method. After some consideration, he chose ink color printing. He set horizontal lines for writing on the back of the postcard and completed the process quickly.
The next step was to buy envelopes and stamps. He could go to the post office to ask where the letter came from. The post office was not far from the community, only a two-minute drive away. Schiller bought a crimson envelope because he happened to have a piece of blue sealing wax.
As for the source of the anonymous letter, the post office of course could not find anything. They only said that the other party might have mixed the letter in at some point. The post office has always been understaffed and could not investigate.
When Schiller went back to write the invitations, he remembered that he had the envelope and the wax block, but his wax seal was thrown in the new office, so he had to go to the school to get it back.
Fortunately, it was not yet the peak period, so Schiller decided to go there and come back quickly, driving towards the school as fast as possible. On the way, he found that several houses on the edge of the community showed obvious signs of moving. No wonder the postman said there were so many new residents recently.
As the car sped, Schiller seemed to see a familiar name on the doorplate - "Thaddeus Sivana".
Has the new principal moved in as well? But judging by his attire, he is not just a principal. He must have some other purpose in coming to Gotham University to teach.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to drive, Schiller could finally look through the information in the Tower of Thinking.
Soon he found the target person and said why he looked so familiar. This guy was the villain of the famous superhero Shazam! and from his appearance it seemed to be the movie version.
Schiller glanced at Shivana's life and found that he was an unlucky man.
When Shivana was a child, he was teleported to a mysterious space by an old man on his way home with his parents, who said that he would give him powerful power.
As a result, Shivana heard someone whispering in his ear that the old man was lying to him and that he should touch something. Shivana was young at the time, so he did as he was told.
Then the old man said that he had evil intentions and would never deserve power, and kicked him out. Shivana was frightened and told his father everything, which distracted his father and caused him to have a car accident, which left his father with disabled legs and unable to walk again.
His father blamed him for everything and continued to abuse him in the following days. His brother also fanned the flames. In short, the whole family turned into hell.
However, Sivana still passed the doctor's exam, and finally went back to the old man, snatched the seven deadly sins that he had wanted to touch before, put them on his own eyes, then killed his father and brother, and embarked on the path of a villain against Shazam.
If we were to say what Schiller would say about this story, it would be that this is the consequence of learning magic without learning psychology.
Anyone who has heard this story will ask, "Can this old man speak human language? You brought a child who knows nothing here and frightened him to death."
Just take it and don't take any protective measures. Put a powerful artifact that can bewitch people's hearts next to someone else. As a result, the child was bewitched and said that the other person had bad intentions. If the Joker came, he would say you are the craziest in Gotham City.
Regardless of the old man’s identity, judging from his actions, there is a reason why he is trapped in that dark space. It’s a miracle that his EQ was not beaten to death.
Anyway, this is another patient with personality disorder, and after so many years, he is basically terminally ill and there is not much room for treatment.
After figuring this out, Schiller almost understood why Shivana asked him to move to this community again.
The phrase "never worthy" is the source of Shivana's psychological trauma, and this source points to power.
The old man told him that those who were not strong-willed and did not have a sense of justice were not worthy of power, so he must prove it to them, and he would get the most powerful power.
Considering that the evil substances sealed in that space are the seven deadly sins, and the raven happens to represent the arrogance of the seven deadly sins, it is very likely that Sivana is coming for the red-haired girl.
However, Schiller speculated that he might not know that the raven lived in his house, otherwise it would be unlikely to come to him directly.
He was going to his own housewarming party, probably to take the opportunity to see if there were any familiar faces among his neighbors, and the same was true when he moved to this neighborhood, just to track the raven.
Schiller guessed that he might have been targeting the power in the raven's body. Although that power was evil and uncontrollable, it was indeed very powerful. It was not impossible to summon a Three Palace Demon directly on the spot after the explosion.
But I had already promised him that the invitation must be sent out, so I could only let Raven go out on that day. Anyway, it seemed that she was more interested in shopping than staying at home.
When they arrived at the school to get the seal, several professors were walking hurriedly towards the office. Schiller stopped one of them and asked a few questions. He then learned that the new principal had gone to the industrial zone to get several projects and was now selecting a suitable project team. The professors all hurried to urge their students to perform well.
These projects are not very high-tech, and they have ready-made results that can be modified and used. Everyone wants to take on such projects with low investment and short payback period. Some project teams in the Institute of Technology with poor financial conditions are eager to try.
After returning to the office and chatting with Anna, Schiller realized that the new president was indeed very capable. He had brought two big cases to the law school in just one day yesterday. Both of them were financial disputes involving large companies. The returns were very high, enough to support dozens of graduate students and doctoral students.
I also didn't fall behind in the medical school. I had long talks with the Central Hospital and Wayne Hospital. Many medical research projects that had been suspended before were restarted, and many internship opportunities were also provided.
Now the whole school is unanimously praising the president, saying that he is indeed a capable and strong man. Schiller also thinks so. Although he has not brought any benefits to the psychology department yet, Schiller also knows that it is very difficult to implement the knowledge of psychology and transform it into profits, especially during the study period.
Schiller himself felt that the research results of his graduate students and doctoral students were not impressive enough, and that going out to treat patients and save lives was even more suspicious of murder and robbery, so he really could not demand fair treatment from others.
As a result, just as he found his seal in the office, Shivana came, knocked on the office door, walked in and said: "Congratulations, Professor Schiller. Because our psychology department has been responsible for publishing academic research papers for many years, I have proposed to the municipal government to prepare an academic scholarship for all graduate students and doctoral students. In addition to the manuscript fee, all papers published in the future will also receive an academic recognition bonus determined by the publication and impact factor."
Schiller raised an eyebrow and said, "The city government agreed?"
"Of course, because the Department of Psychology at Gotham University is indeed the department that publishes the most papers and has the highest influence among all the departments of all universities in Gotham. You have made an indelible contribution."
Schiller thought, I have indeed made an invaluable contribution, because I have published the most papers and raised the academic level of the entire psychology department.
Schiller walked up to Shivana and shook hands with him, saying, "Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Principal. I am writing the invitations. If nothing goes wrong, the housewarming party will be held the day after tomorrow or on Wednesday."
"I will be there on time." Shivana said with a smile.
On the way back after getting the stamp, Schiller was in a good mood. The financial conditions of his doctoral students and graduate students were not very good, and some of them still needed subsidies from him. Now with this bonus, many of them would be more well-off.
More importantly, this can encourage them to write papers well, because only by publishing articles can they get money. Even for the sake of money, the quality of the papers Schiller receives in the future should be greatly improved. After all, not everyone is Bruce Wayne.
It was already evening when he drove home. The sign on the mailbox was down again. Schiller walked over, opened the mailbox and found the third letter from Anatoly.
This time, there were no scribblings on the letter. After opening it, the short sentence contained countless complicated emotions - "Sorry, I drank too much. Don't mind it."
Schiller smiled and prepared to frame the letter.
However, he still had to hurry up to make the invitations. It would take some time to write hundreds of invitations by hand. Schiller wrote at the table in the living room from dusk to dark, and then put them into envelopes one by one, sealed them with wax, affixed stamps, and prepared to send them out when the postman came tomorrow.
Schiller had just put down his pen and was about to stretch his shoulders when Raven rushed in and said, "Professor, do you know where the nearest commercial street is? I want to go shopping!"
“You make a lot of money?”
"Of course!"
"how many?"
"$500!"
"How many?!"
