Chapter 2280 Gotham Music Festival (XIX)
Natasha was very surprised. She looked at Schiller with wide eyes and said, "What did you say? You are seasick?! Can't you just turn into mist and float away?"
Schiller shook his head and said, "It's no use."
He covered his chest and coughed vigorously a few times. His face was pale and his expression was a little dull. It was obvious that he was trying to devote some of his energy to investigating the situation inside the Mind Tower.
When Pride caused seasickness in the past, most personalities thought it might be a problem with Pride. After all, there are always many problems with Pride, such as being afraid of broccoli, and maybe seasickness is the same.
Schiller had never been on a boat in his previous life, and there was nothing he could do that required going to the sea. He did not have a deep impression of the sea, nor did he have any obsession with it, and he did not quite understand what it felt like to be on a boat.
After coming to DC, he never left Gotham most of the time. It was not until he took his annual leave and came to Port Mercy where Arthur was that he discovered that he was seasick.
This seems to be unreasonable, but the human body is sometimes unreasonable. Even with the existence of a powerful ability like gray fog, it cannot be said that it is completely immune to all physiological diseases. So Ao Mang did not take it seriously at the time. If he gets seasick, he gets seasick. At worst, he will just not take a boat in the future.
But later he also got close to the ocean without taking a boat, such as flying in the sky in Lucifer's arms, but the symptoms of seasickness did not disappear with the absence of the boat, which made Schiller realize that he might not be seasick, but seasick.
This is very strange. The principle of seasickness is that a person's balance organs are stimulated, leading to various discomfort symptoms in the body. To go deeper, it is because a person's vestibular receptors and balance organs are in conflict. The more intense the conflict, the more obvious the seasickness reaction. This is the main reason why many people with seasickness experience relief from their symptoms when riding on a relatively stable large ship.
But I have never heard of anyone feeling dizzy while standing above the sea and looking at it, not to mention that Schiller felt dizzy even without looking at it. This shows that this is most likely not a common disease, but has other reasons.
When they heard that Schiller had a problem, almost everyone rushed over, but the room was not big, it was impossible for everyone to come in, so the children came in and took a look and were then driven out. Some people who were not so familiar with Schiller also left after visiting, leaving only some close ones.
Schiller lay in bed without saying a word, fighting his discomfort, while others began to speculate what was going on.
"We have to know what caused this problem." Bruce has a very typical scientific mindset. He said: "After eliminating all wrong answers, the one left must be the truth."
"I don't think it's Schiller's own problem." Natasha frowned and said, "There's no way he could get seasick. If he had a constitution that easily stimulated his balance organs, he wouldn't be able to do other more intense exercises. But in fact, he can."
"With the gray fog, Schiller shouldn't be sick," Strange said. "Even if we take a step back, the portal and the spaceship are not very stable, but they didn't cause him to feel sick."
"I think you didn't understand the point." Stark patted the wall. He was finally willing to let go of Pepper for a while, and then stood up and said, "Schiller took a boat in our universe."
When he said this, everyone was surprised. Stark counted on his fingers, "He took a yacht with us on the weekend, took a speedboat on the way to Long Island, and even played the pirate ship and Pirates of the Caribbean rides in the amusement park. There is no way he would get seasick."
Bruce and Victor looked at each other, and Victor said, "In our universe, Schiller is always seasick. He got seasick when they went on vacation to an island before. Later, we invited him to go fishing, but he refused because he got seasick."
"But we thought it was just a problem with one of his personality traits," Bruce said, "because the other personality traits probably haven't been on a boat here before. Today is the first time."
"Then it could be a problem with your universe." Nick put his hands on his hips, looked around and said, "But why seasickness?"
Everyone looked at Schiller lying on the bed. Schiller's face was not very good. Most of them had never seen him so weak, so they couldn't bear it any longer. Peter raised his voice and said, "The most important thing we should do now is to make the doctor feel better and drive the boat back quickly."
Wanda and Jarvis also agreed with his point of view, but others were more rational than them. Bruce said: "Schieler seems to be just uncomfortable but not fatal. The situation is not getting worse. If we can't figure out what's going on this time, it may be more troublesome later."
His argument was supported by most people present, because it was conceivable that something that could cause such great harm to Schiller must be a huge threat to the universe. If they didn't figure out what it was, it would be too late when it actually appeared.
But this did not include Stark and Strange. Stark waved at Strange and said, "Open the portal and take Schiller away. At worst, you can just not come here."
Strange obviously also holds this view. He raised his hand to open the portal, but before he could move, he was interrupted by a snap of his fingers. Lucifer walked in and said, "I think you should listen to Schiller's opinion. He is just fainted, not dead."
Then everyone else stopped what they were doing. They thought what Lucifer said made sense. Schiller knew so much about other people's affairs, so it was impossible that he was completely unconcerned about his own symptoms. The clues he could find must be the most crucial.
Schiller was in a daze, apparently having a discussion in the Mind Tower. After a while, he opened his eyes, looked around, and said, "Send me back first."
Lex wanted to turn the ship back immediately, but Schiller shook his head and said, "I can go back by myself, you guys do what you need to do."
"I don't think Jason is in the mood to fish right now." Bruce glanced outside the door and saw the anxious expressions of the children. Selina also said, "You can fish any night."
At this time, Steve said, "Actually, I cast a few times just now, but I didn't find any fish here. The fish attracting light also didn't find any fish. It seems that I won't be able to fish today."
The main universe Batman standing in the corner of the room frowned slightly. He looked out the window. It was not a clear day with a sparse moon and stars outside the window, but there were thin dark clouds. The sea was very calm with almost no wind or waves. Theoretically, this kind of weather was actually very suitable for fishing.
He also remembered that before boarding the boat, Lex Luthor called the captain and told him that they were going to go night fishing. The captain of a luxury yacht of this level could not have no such experience and would not stop in an empty area with no fish at all.
Finally the cruise ship returned. The young children were exhausted from playing water fights, and the older ones wanted to fish but had no fish, and playing poker on the boat was obviously meaningless.
The Rodriguez Manor was under renovation after being damaged by the Green of All Things, so they returned to the Lex Manor halfway up the mountain. It was large enough so that so many people could stay overnight without feeling crowded.
At this time, Lex's professional butler team had arrived. The manor was brightly lit and extremely magnificent. After Schiller returned to land, he quickly recovered. By the time he entered the manor, he no longer needed anyone to help him.
So they did not go to the bedroom, but stayed by the fireplace in the reception room, which was a high-ceiling area on the edge of the manor. Two towering floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the lights of Gotham.
There is a dark forest nearby, a brightly lit city in the distance, and the skyline, low-lying dark clouds, and the moon looming behind the clouds in the distance.
Schiller was sitting on the sofa with a blanket over his head, squinting his eyes and looking a little sleepy. Victor took the hot coffee from the butler and placed it on the coffee table in the middle of the crowd.
In addition to the sofa set, the sunken reception area also has many soft cushions, allowing everyone to find their own seat. They sit together in groups of three or four. When they take the cup and see the amount of coffee in the cup, they know that Schiller may have a long story to tell.
Schiller stretched a hand out from the blanket, blew on the coffee gently, and said, "I think everyone here should know that I come from another universe."
Instantly everyone's ears pricked up.
Of course, they all knew that Schiller was not from the two universes they were in. In Schiller's own words, the universe he once was in was very, very far away, and it was impossible to go back, and he himself did not want to go back.
Everyone can also see that some of Schiller's living habits are different from theirs. For example, Schiller was surprised that the streets were blocked due to the chaos caused by the mutants' mutant powers. For Marvel people, this is actually a daily routine. Professor X can also infer from this that the universe where Schiller once lived may not have mutants.
Sometimes, Schiller's fragmentary remarks can also piece together some details of his previous life, but people don't know much about that mysterious world of the past because Schiller never talked about it in detail.
The information they can know now is that Schiller was also a psychologist and lived on Earth, which is roughly the same as their universe. He came to their universe because of some things and may have heard of them before coming.
"But do you know how I came here?" Schiller asked.
Everyone looked at each other, with a confused expression on their faces. First, they really didn't know the answer to this question, and second, they didn't understand why Schiller wanted to discuss this issue at this time.
In their opinion, this is not a very important question, because firstly, Schiller does not want to go back, so no matter how he came here, it is actually not very important. Secondly, there are too few possible answers to this question. How else can they come? How did they come to this strange universe? That's how Schiller came here.
Schiller smiled and said, "Do you think I, like you, passed through the portal and came to a strange universe?"
"Isn't it?" Bruce sat on the cushion beside him, leaning forward, showing great interest. He never gave up trying to find out about Schiller's past life experiences, but unfortunately Schiller was too tight-lipped and Bruce could hardly ask anything.
What he knew more about Schiller than anyone else was that he knew more of Schiller's personality traits, had better relationships with some of the more uncommon ones, and could infer what Schiller's previous life was like through their existence, but this could only be a guess as to what kind of person Schiller himself was.
Because the environment in which Schiller lived in his previous life was similar to their current universe, and those subtle differences were obviously only known to the person involved, so Bruce had no way of understanding them.
"I am dead."
The whole place was shocked.
