Chapter 2063: Knight's Horror Night (Forty)

Jason sat on the sofa and ate a sandwich. ơɱ

He felt very hungry, and the strange parasitic life called symbiote said to him in his mind: "The body repair has been completed by 80%. I am not sure whether you need me to enhance your imperfect body structure and muscle strength..."

"Can it be enhanced?"

"In theory, it is possible, but after the enhancement, you will have a period of adaptation. After the adaptation period, you still need to exercise diligently and keep healthy..."

"You are as long-winded as Dick, do your work."

Jason turned his head and saw Schiller coming up from the basement with a thick stack of documents in his hand. He walked to the sofa opposite Jason and sat down, and put the stack of documents on the table.

"Do me a favor, Jason."

Jason frowned and looked at the pile of information that seemed to be written in English, but he actually couldn't understand it at all.

From the vaguely visible pictures above, it can be seen that this seems to be some analysis reports of medicine and biology. Jason also saw the cross-section of the organs he cut off by himself on it.

"What is this?"

"Medical biology and chemical analysis test report."

"Yes, I know. What I mean is, what is being analyzed?"

"A substance that can be analyzed."

Jason took a bite of the sandwich and looked at Schiller with some doubts. The terrifying atmosphere disappeared and he looked like an ordinary doctor.

Schiller stopped what he was doing, looked up at Jason and said, "Do you know the Joker virus?"

"I've heard of it." Jason swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "But I don't think the Joker is a patient. He didn't become so crazy because he was infected with some disease."

"Very accurate understanding, Jason, but his madness is contagious, usually through death." Schiller looked down at the information and said, "I told you before that I came here not just to treat you."

Jason stopped chewing and looked at Schiller. He also looked at the file in Schiller's hand and said, "You want to study the Joker virus. Is this your deal with Batman? Did he entrust you to do this?"

"On the contrary, he allowed me to study the Joker and the Joker virus, and I will do my best to treat you."

Schiller sighed lightly, looked into Jason's eyes and said, "You don't want to know how much Batman paid to hire me. If you knew me earlier, you would know that I offered a high price."

"Isn't it just money? He has plenty of money." Jason said with a pout.

"Not this time, Jason."

Jason's eyes immediately fell on Schiller's face, as if he wanted him to give an accurate answer, but Schiller shook his head, handed the documents in his hand to Jason and said, "Go, take these to Batman."

Jason had just finished a sandwich, he stood up, took the documents from Schiller's hand, and Schiller also stood up, took out the communicator left by Batman and said, "I'll call him, and then he will send you his location. If you have anything, just ask him directly."

Jason pursed his lips and rubbed his nose with his hands, looking a little uncomfortable. He muttered in a low voice: "I'm not interested in knowing."

"But you'd better show that his efforts are worth it. Believe me, Jason, the price is greater than you think."

Soon, Robin and Nightwing took Jason away from the island in a helicopter.

After Jason left, Schiller returned to the basement and took out a notebook from the filing cabinet. All the handwriting on it was not printed, but handwritten. The professionalism was not as strong as those materials, but more of some speculation.

This is the most important purpose of Schiller's coming here.

There was a Batman Joker Law before, the main content of which is: Batman's gaze will create the Joker, and the Joker comes from Batman's choice.

But later, after practical verification, Batman's gaze is a necessary condition for the Joker's birth, but not a sufficient condition. The conditions for the Joker's birth are very complicated.

Usually, Batman's gaze is only one of the factors for the Joker's birth.

Just like cooking a dish, Batman's gaze is like a tomato, which can be used to fry eggs or stew meat, but it can hardly be a dish alone.

So the question is, how did Schiller become the Joker?

Of course, the process Schiller knew before was that he was chosen as soon as he met the Batman of the universe he was in, that is, at that time he had already received Batman's gaze, and then became the Joker.

But as mentioned earlier, Batman's choice alone is not enough. Even if it is possible, the required fate and entanglement cannot be achieved at the first meeting.

What's more, Bruce had just debuted at that time, and he was not a very Batman Batman. According to the Batman Joker Aggregation Law, his gaze was not powerful enough to directly transform Arrogance into the Joker.

Before learning the truth about his origin, Schiller could only speculate that the Batman in his universe was special, and he, the time traveler, was also special, which led to this disaster. But after learning about the original body's shocking plan to fleece the world, Schiller found that this might not be so simple.

It might not be an accident that he became the Joker.

So if Bruce's gaze is regarded as a tomato, what is it that is fried into a dish with the tomato?

Of course, Schiller admitted that his mental state could not be called healthy, but there was never a lack of crazy people in Gotham. If he was a local like them, why was it him?

Schiller also did not have the common elements of the Joker. Schiller had no acting experience, had never performed comedy, was not from a circus, and had never fallen into a chemical pool.

If we look at his experience in his previous life from the perspective of ordinary people, then apart from the ups and downs in his childhood, it could not be called a fatal joke. If we have to say it, it was someone else who was fatal.

More importantly, Schiller felt that his views were completely different from those of the Joker. The Joker was more or less revengeful towards society, while Schiller had been trying to integrate into the society of ordinary people.

So if the experience and concepts were different, the only other factor that led Schiller to become the Joker could be physical.

Combined with the fact that the original body exploded in Gotham, it was really hard for Schiller not to think that this was also part of the original body's plan?

When he speculated here, Schiller suddenly thought of another thing, that is, Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor once told Schiller about the scene of his encounter with the original Schiller.

At that time, Lex's father Lionel asked Schiller, a psychologist, to treat his child. Of course, he didn't really treat the disease, but just wanted to use Schiller to spread the word that his son was sick.

At that time, Schiller might have felt sympathy for the young Lex. After discovering that Lionel had used an overdose of tranquilizers on him, he directly knocked Lionel unconscious with a vase.

Then the important thing came. Schiller injected Lex with a potion with a strong aroma of wine. At that time, Schiller speculated that it might be the Dionysus factor.

But now Schiller turned out the conversation between Lex and the original Schiller and found a key point.

That is, the original Schiller once emphasized to Lex that this potion would make people feel crazy, which could just treat the numbness caused by Lex's excessive use of tranquilizers.

Schiller has some knowledge of Dionysus factor, because there is a whole pool of fine wine in the basement of Gotham Cathedral, which is basically full of Dionysus factor.

Dionysus factor is actually something designed by the screenwriter to patch the Joker's self-healing ability. Schiller felt a little strange at the time. The original comics mainly emphasize the healing ability of Dionysus factor.

So could it be that the injection in the original Schiller's hand was not Dionysus factor, or not entirely Dionysus factor?

Assuming that the biggest source of Dionysus factor is the wine pool in Gotham, and the original's route of action is to go to Metropolis first and then to Gotham, how could he take Gotham's specialty when he was in Metropolis?

And there is another detail. Lex told Schiller that when the original Schiller took out the injection, he sighed, "There is only so little left."

And according to Lex's observation at the time, there was indeed very little liquid left in the injection, probably less than one milliliter, and it didn't look like there was only so much originally, but more like it was left after use.

So where was this mysterious injection used before?

The biggest question is, what exactly is the mysterious injection in the original body's hand, has it been used, and where has it been used?

Combined with the fact that Arrogance turned into the Joker the first time he was watched by Batman, Schiller can only make a crazy guess - the injection in the original body Schiller's hand is not the Dionysus factor, but the Joker virus, and he used it on himself.

This can also explain why Lex later became the Joker after getting the attention of Batman, because the combination of the Joker virus and Batman's attention is the easiest to stir up the Joker dish.

This speculation sounds too crazy, and to verify whether this possibility really exists, we must first understand what the Joker virus is.

The easiest way is of course to draw a tube of Jack's blood. Schiller believes that as long as the price is high enough, Jack doesn't care, but this involves a question of experimental rigor.

First of all, Bruce is no longer Batman, so whether Jack, the Joker, is still a pure Joker is actually questionable.

Because the relationship between Batman and the Joker in this universe is not normal, the concentration of the Joker virus in Jack's body cannot be used as a standard for experimental data.

Then the principle is the same. The blood of Schiller, who was once chosen by Bruce, may not meet the standard because Bruce gave up becoming Batman.

But if you want to draw blood from the standard Joker in other universes, to put it bluntly, the biggest obstacle is not the Joker, but Batman.

Batman and the Joker are always inseparable. Under normal circumstances, trying to separate the two of them is not only a thankless task, but also easy to be selected by the remaining one to become another person after separation.

Schiller does not want to find that the Joker is me again after winding a huge ball of yarn to separate the two of them.

So some conjectures have been lingering in Schiller's mind, but there is no chance to realize them until the Batman of the Arkham Knight universe finds Schiller.

At that time, Schiller quickly went over the experience of Batman in the Arkham Knight universe in his mind, and then he found that this was really a pillow when he was sleepy.

The Joker in this universe died, leaving only Batman, and Batman was infected with the Joker virus. It is much easier to deal with Batman than to deal with Batman and the Joker combined.

So Schiller not only agreed to Peter's request to go for internship, but also told Peter that this was actually an exam, and Peter lived up to expectations.

Subject 1 was a plan, subject 2 was a fight, subject 3 was a blame game, and subject 4 was a mess. After a series of smooth little combos, Batman really came to the West to ask for Schiller Buddha.
