Chapter 2281 Gotham Music Chapter (2)
Chapter 2281 Gotham Music Festival (Twenty)
New Yorkers choose to avoid talking about Schiller's past experiences. In their view, Schiller is Schiller now and also their friend, and what his past was like is not important.
So even though Stark and Steve had seen things in certain dreams that seemed to be about Schiller's past, they never took the initiative to bring up such topics in front of Schiller. At most, they talked about it in private, and they were all guesses, and no one came to any definite conclusion.
After learning that Schiller might be a visitor from another world, Nick conducted an investigation, but he mainly investigated when Schiller came and in what capacity. He was not very interested in the universe where Schiller had lived.
They all tacitly brushed aside the topic, as if they were keeping a secret together, because they knew it would of course remain a secret. The past of a man like Schiller was destined to be ordinary and boring, but no matter how eventful it was, it no longer mattered.
The people of Gotham maintain a similar attitude in this regard, but for different reasons.
They knew that Schiller's past must be a big secret, and there must be a reason why the secret was a secret.
Schiller had his own arrangements for this, so even though Bruce was extremely curious, he did not take a tough attitude and force Schiller to explain everything.
Because both sides maintained a vague attitude of muddling through, neither side was clear about the details. They guessed that it might be an accident, but they didn't expect it to be death.
At this moment, Stark suddenly remembered a scene he had seen in Schiller's Mind Tower.
"……airplane?"
Stark instinctively uttered a word, but everyone's eyes fell on him, and then they all looked at Schiller, meaning why was he the only one who knew?
Stark recalled the whole process in his mind. They bought tickets to go to the room in Schiller's Mind Tower to experience the study life in a magic school called Hogwarts.
There they heard a rumor that there was a mirror in a room somewhere that could allow one to see what they desired most. At that time, Stark saw his parents there.
When Schiller passed by the mirror, Stark saw a blue sky with white clouds and an airplane flying in the clouds.
He didn't know why Schiller's deepest desire was an airplane, but when Schiller said he came into this world through death, Stark instinctively thought of the airplane.
"Plane crash?" Stark looked at Schiller and asked tentatively.
Schiller nodded, paused, and then said in the simplest terms: "The plane crashed, I died, and when I woke up, I came here."
He did not explain what happened between him and Lucifer and God, because it was not really important and had nothing to do with what he was going to say now, at least not in a direct causal relationship.
Bruce immediately grasped the key information. He turned to Schiller and asked, "Where did it crash?"
"maritime."
Everyone was silent.
After hesitating for a moment, Natasha finally spoke up: "Do you think this is the reason for your seasickness? ... Is there some psychological principle here that I don't understand?"
"Are you saying that your death has left you with a psychological trauma?" Steve's speculation was even bolder. He said, "It probably depends on the way the plane crashed. Some of the victims did not die during the crash, but after the crash. Due to improper operation, they missed the best chance of survival. This often happens when the plane crashes into the sea."
"If the plane had not disintegrated in the air, but had fallen into the sea in a relatively stable manner, then most of the passengers would still be alive. If they had listened carefully to the safety instructions before the plane took off, they should have been able to use the life jackets and breathing masks under their seats to save themselves."
"But if they don't listen carefully, most people can't swim to save themselves in that situation, so the vast majority of deaths in these air crashes are drowning."
Everyone looked at Schiller again. They obviously wanted to know whether Schiller died from the disintegration and explosion of the plane, or drowned after the plane fell into the sea.
"I'm not sure." Schiller shook his head and said, "But the last scene I saw in my lifetime was the sea."
Finally, Peter couldn't help asking, "How could the plane crash? Air crashes are extremely rare events, and there are not many of them in human history. How could it just happen..."
Although everyone made an expression that said "you'd better not ask", they were actually listening attentively. If Schiller's death was caused by a plane crash, then this plane crash must not be that simple.
They would never think that Schiller was an ordinary, law-abiding person in his previous life. Judging from the various fragments they have pieced together now, Schiller, who had a pathological personality, must have had a turbulent past in his previous life. So could this plane crash be related to Schiller's past?
Although it is a bit impolite, whenever people mention the disaster that happened to Schiller, their first thought is definitely not what someone wanted to do to Schiller, but what Schiller did to others.
No matter how biased the people present were towards their friends, they had to admit that every time Schiller got into trouble it was basically his own fault. To put it more sharply, he deserved it.
"We discussed it and thought it was possible," Schiller said, pulling at the blanket on his body. "This is the only time the sea and I have ever met. If not, I can't think of any other reason."
Schiller sighed softly and said, "Just because I'm a psychiatrist doesn't mean I can fully understand the principles of all traumatic disorders. Some inexplicable things will happen inexplicably to inexplicable humans. You can understand it as a miracle of evolution."
"Bullshit," Bruce commented.
"Okay, let our patient rest." Stark obviously intended to let this matter go. He has always adhered to pragmatism. If Schiller is seasick, then he won't take the boat. If he is seasick, then he won't go to the sea. Wouldn't the problem be solved?
As for any disasters that may occur in the future, we will wait and see. When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. This is also the attitude of the vast majority of New Yorkers.
They all stood up and prepared to leave. Steve walked Schiller back to his room, and everyone else also went to their respective rooms.
Bruce's room was on the same floor as Batman's and Batman's. On the way back, they walked through the corridor at the same time. Batman from the main universe took the initiative to say, "It seems that I underestimated the brilliance of his past. He is not a native here."
"Of course he's not, but you believe it?" Bruce looked back at the Batman of the main universe as he walked away and said, "Have you never seen the Joker?"
Batman frowned slightly, Bruce snorted, strode forward and said: "When he makes a gesture to reveal the truth to you, you will know that it is never the truth. He just wants to use a fact that looks like the truth to stun you so that you won't ask more questions."
"I guarantee that it's not an important matter to him, and he didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable just now." Bruce stood by his bedroom, holding the door handle and looking back, "He revealed a seemingly very important secret about himself, just to give you the satisfaction of obtaining information, so that you feel that you have gained enough today."
"He acted weak just to make you believe that this was a psychological trauma, so that you would stop asking questions out of humanitarianism or stop talking about it out of fear of causing him to have an accident."
The two Batmen stood in front of Bruce, one on the left and one on the right, with a look in their eyes that said "Why are you so skilled?"
"Because I don't know how many times I've been fooled!" Bruce said with a grin, "If you two were my age and there were two clowns at the same time, one chasing you so that you had no time to write your paper, and the other chasing you for your paper every day, you would know how I figured out these things."
With a bang, the door closed. Batman and Batman from the main universe looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Batman in the main universe also didn't believe that things would be so simple, because he discovered many suspicious points through his own observations.
Judging from the reactions of those alien visitors whose painting styles were completely different from theirs, Schiller did not suffer from seasickness or seasickness in their universe. This would refute Schiller's so-called traumatic disorder, because if one would feel uncomfortable seeing the sea, it is impossible that it would only affect the sea in one universe.
And from Batman's detective perspective, the problems of the sea on the journey just now were much more serious than Schiller's problems.
Although Batman knew very well what the sea in Gotham was like, the sea area where they just stayed was still abnormal.
First of all, the sea was too calm. Although there is no wind without waves, it was still on the sea, so how could it not shake at all? But at that time, the sea was as still as ice. Otherwise, how could the boat be so stable with Spider-Man and Robin shouting, jumping and making noises on the boat?
You know, although these young people look like ordinary kids, Spider-Man is extremely strong. The noise they made was enough to prevent a cruise ship from sailing safely. But during the time they were having a water fight, the cruise ship seemed to be welded to the ground.
There is also the issue of fish. Batman knows that there are not many fish in the waters surrounding Gotham. In addition to water pollution, this is not a fishing ground that has been passed down from generation to generation.
Although the confluence of cold and warm currents makes the seafood here taste particularly delicious, Gotham does not have a history of developing fishing and hunting civilization. It is more of a cargo distribution port, and the number of dock workers far exceeds that of fishermen. On the contrary, Bludhaven and Port Cien, not far from here, are quite famous fishing centers.
Even so, based on the speed and time the cruise ship has been traveling, they have already gone quite deep into the sea and are far away from the shore of Gotham. Water pollution should not have affected here, and because no one is fishing, there are still some wild fish.
When Steve cast his rod, Batman was watching beside him. The high-powered fish-attracting light almost illuminated the area several meters below the water surface, but not only was there no fish, the sea water was also as quiet as death.
This is very abnormal, Batman knows it, but what is even stranger is that Schiller attributed everything to himself without doing any investigation. Combined with what Bruce said before, Schiller either doesn't want to investigate or wants to investigate alone.
But why is this happening? Batman knows that he must be missing a lot of important information. What could it be?
