Chapter 2077 Knight's Night of Terror (Forty-Six)
When Peter came to the hut on the island again, Schiller was making food for himself in the kitchen. As soon as he walked in, he found that the familiar Dr. Schiller was back. 【】
So he immediately started wailing, throwing himself into the soft sofa like a ball of mud and said: "I got into trouble. I didn't mean to reveal Batman's identity, and I didn't stop the reporters. This was too difficult. ”
Schiller placed the vegetable salad he had just mixed in front of Peter, then walked over to get a kettle to make hot tea and said, "Don't worry too much, Peter, maybe things will resolve themselves."
Peter sat up like a corpse and stared closely at Schiller who was standing on the edge of the kitchen island. Schiller looked back at him. After about ten seconds, Schiller smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. , I’m doing it for your own good.”
"Sure enough, it's you, doctor, I knew it! The whole house in Wayne Manor was razed to the ground, everything was burned, how come that picture is still so intact!"
Peter took the pillow next to him and pressed it against his face. He groaned twice and said, "Is this really good? Leaking the true identity may bring danger to the superheroes. Besides, they...they..."
"They are spreading some sexy rumors that once spread between you and Stark." Schiller put a cup of hot tea in front of Peter and said: "Peter, maybe you feel that this method is a bit outrageous. But I once told you that all my plans for today are backed by insurance. Do you think I only published the photos?”
Peter looked at Schiller's face with some confusion. Schiller sat on the sofa opposite, smiled and said, "What do you think is the biggest conflict between Batman and the rest of the Bat Family?"
"They are so bad at communicating." Peter complained: "I'm not slandering anyone, but the wear rate of the organ under their nose is so low that the wear rate of the organ in their skull is higher than others."
"A very polite description, Peter." Schiller nodded and said, "In short, because of their personalities, they are not good at communicating, but people who are close always need to understand each other, so they see each other in their own way, "Guess what they're going to do and react to it, but often it's not the right response."
"I think they should make changes." Peter emphasized: "And they should be immediate and complete changes, such as sitting down and talking. Is this really so difficult?"
"Peter, I think you are right, but maybe you missed something." Schiller first comforted Peter, and then said: "You would say to a patient with severe depression, 'Look around, you should do this. Change'?
Peter showed a hesitant expression and said: "I hope so in my heart, but as far as I know, severe depression has involved physical reactions, and it is not a problem that can be solved simply by thinking about it. Otherwise, there will be no problem in this world." There are no more depressed people.”
"That's right, so you should look at the Bat family as a whole. The various contradictions in this whole are just like the lesions that occur in a person's body."
"So what you have to do is not to treat a headache or a sore foot, nor to stand by and shout at him with a loudspeaker. You must cheer up, keep a clear head, and face the unhealthy relationship head-on."
"What to do?"
"Of course, find a doctor." Schiller said after taking a sip of tea: "The doctor does not have to have a high professional level, but he must be an absolutely impartial third party, or he only needs to be impartial and powerful."
"Oh, I understand." Peter suddenly realized and said: "If you have a headache because of unhealthy work and rest hours, then what you need is not a successful person to guide your future, you just need someone who has the ability to go to bed early and get up early. Habitual and healthy friends will help, encourage and supervise you to adjust your work and rest."
Schiller smiled and nodded. At this time, his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and said: "Hey, Mr. Kent, no, there is no need to be sorry. This is human nature."
"I do have concerns. You know, everything involving Wayne Group must be cautious enough. I want to ensure my personal safety first. I hope you can understand."
"Yes, I have read your report on the sexual assault case in the orphanage in Metropolis in Gotham Daily. Believe me, that is the best outcome. If it were not like this, I would not Call you."
Schiller listened to Clark's account in silence for a while, and then said: "Sorry, I don't quite understand what you said about the polygraph monitoring equipment. I don't quite agree with this speculation because it sounds too Amazing.”
Schiller paused for a long time before saying: "Mr. Kent, I hope you understand that it is one thing to call you after an accident and hope that you can help possible victims, but let me do it myself. Go collect evidence..."
Peter heard what the voice on the other end of the phone said excitedly. Schiller listened carefully from beginning to end, and finally he said: "I can't deny that I do have a few friends who can help, but I really can't ensure..."
"Are you going to do something impulsive? I'm afraid I have to express to you that I don't support it. It's not a good choice to confront Bruce Wayne. You may be charged for slander or intentional harm..."
Schiller was silent for a long time, and then he said with some hesitation: "Yes, I am a psychologist, so I found out from the few facts disclosed by the media that they may not exist. Healthy relationship.”
"I admire you as a person, Mr. Kent. I will try my best, but I can't guarantee that I can find any substantive evidence. No need to, sir, please pay attention to your safety. Goodbye."
Peter on the opposite side had sat up completely, crossed his arms and stared at Schiller with squinted eyes, and said: "You posted the photo, you led the reporter there, and now you seem to have hired another person to find Bruce Wayne. "Trouble, I really don't understand what you want to do, doctor."
"Don't sound like you've figured it out." Schiller blew the tea and said, "I'm pretty sure that after the two of us did so many things in his Gotham, the first thing he did when he returned to Gotham was The thing is to give us a shockingly long loss quote, and the price of everything on it is exactly the same as your internship salary.”
"Uh..." Peter said with some guilt: "It's not unreasonable. After all, we do..."
"Yes, what you did did damage a lot of things. My treatment of Jason may very well have caused him psychological damage. Monetary compensation is not unacceptable."
Peter stared at Schiller across from him with wide eyes, as if he didn't know him. How could such words come from the doctor's mouth?
But Schiller's map of the Yan Kingdom was too short, and its sharp fangs soon appeared. "However, this does not mean that we cannot create another employment opportunity for ourselves before he comes back. At the same time, it is an exclusive, unique and irreplaceable position, and then he may withhold your salary and what should be paid to you. I get my reward back in one go.”
Clark hung up the phone, laid Jason down on the sofa after he had knocked him unconscious, and then found a blanket from the cabinet next to him and covered him.
What he didn't tell Jason was not only due to the principle of inadmissibility of the victim's testimony, but also the court would not allow the victim to attend the trial when the situation was more serious.
On the one hand, it is to prevent the victim from being mentally stimulated again during the confrontation, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the kidnapper from manipulating the victim's spirit in court and asking them to tell testimony to defend him to deceive the jury's trust. , affecting judicial fairness.
It sounds ridiculous, but in fact this kind of thing happens often. Some victims even want to cancel the charges on the spot because they are manipulated or scared, and some even want to destroy the evidence in court.
Clark could clearly see Jason's intention to protect Batman, and he believed very rationally that Batman could not just simply abuse Jason. There was love and affection between them, both materially and spiritually. They all gave to each other.
But this still cannot cover up some of Batman's actual abuses, and it is the injustice of these factual actions that he wants to solve, so now he has to go to Bruce Wayne.
Clark had already locked Bruce's location, but during the process of placing Jason, he found that Bruce seemed to want to leave the hotel, and he knew that the opportunity to take action had come.
Without any hesitation, a strong figure flew out of the window of the hotel reception room, flew down more than a dozen floors at the fastest speed, and stopped in front of a window.
Bruce, who came out of the utility room, rubbed the FBI director's fingerprints, iris and vocal cord information that he had just obtained, and walked quickly towards the stairwell.
The sound of rapid footsteps echoed in the corridor, and Bruce suddenly felt that the light in the corridor had become dim, and the faint moonlight from the window at the end was blocked by a tall figure.
Bruce's hand instantly pressed on the batarang.
Clark landed, and Bruce saw the glint in his eyes, the moonlight armoring him as he descended.
"Superman." Bruce's deep voice echoed in the corridor. It was Batman's voice. "Long time no see."
"It's been a long time indeed, Bruce, how are you doing lately?"
There was no hint of greeting, more like a pistol being loaded. Batman had never heard such a tone from Superman.
"You've read the reports on the Bat Family." When Batman was Batman, his statements of fact sounded like scolds and orders.
"Of course, that's what I'm here for."
Superman has a seriousness about him that Batman can't understand. They haven't had many interactions with each other, but Batman knows that usually, Superman will answer him, "Yes, I saw it, Bruce. I've been with him for a long time." You said that not every media reporter insists on facts and justice like me, and maybe I can’t do it completely, but I am much better than them.”
Batman found himself hoping that Superman would answer that, which was unreasonable. He should have preferred Superman not to be here.
"Can we talk?" Superman took off his glasses, making his shimmering eyes more eye-catching.
"I'm not free right now."
This is not an excuse, but a fact. Batman needs to welcome the landing of the Batplane he just took off remotely. There is a Batcomputer on it, and he needs to use the biometric code collected from the FBI Director to enter the FBI. database.
An extremely bold and dangerous move, but there was no other way now. He needed a handle from everyone who knew about it, and a scapegoat who had a reason to get such a handle.
"We need to talk." Superman looked at him and said.

"I don't have time, Clark." Batman's temperament revealed a kind of murderousness, and this moment was indeed his most murderous moment.
He knew what kind of stories Clark's colleagues were making up now. In less than three hours, they would broadcast their shameless rumors all over the world.
The clear frontal photos of Dick, Jason and Barbara would be posted on the front page, and below was a long string of dirty words. Public opinion did not give them any chance to explain, and then put the blame on the Wayne Group.
He must reverse the situation before dawn, and no one can stop him.
At the moment when three bat darts brushed the broken hair on the side of Superman's ear, the light of the heat ray lit up the night sky.
