The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

The new principal, Seldon, is actually quite capable and experienced, and has a wide network of contacts. The only problem is that his luck is really bad.

No, perhaps it should be said that it is very bad.

His friends helped him nominate six professors in total, and one of them happened to meet one of the future villains of Gotham, Freeze Man Victor Fries.

And after Seldon checked their files, he planned to hire three of them, which also happened to include Freezeman Victor Frith.

After the invitation letter was sent out, only one professor accepted Gotham University's offer, and it happened to be Victor Fries, the Freezeman.

Gotham University really has a lot of troubles. It has just captured a few demons and captured a few demons. It has just left a scarecrow, Jonathan, and a freezing man, Victor.

Moreover, Victor seems to need this errand very much. Before Schiller communicated with Bruce to prevent Seldon from hiring, the invitation letter had just been sent out at noon the day before, and Victor had already arrived at Gotham University in the afternoon of the next day. , this speed is as if he is going to run out of food if he doesn't do this job.

Fortunately, just like the Scarecrow, Victor is just an ordinary scholar and professor.

In fact, Schiller knows that even the later Freeze Man can be regarded as the milder Gotham villain. He usually likes to freeze Batman, and then chat with him about philosophy and art. Most of his paranoia and madness are From the love of his wife, not necessarily against Batman or Gotham.

The Victor Schiller saw was very similar to himself. Both of them were very typical images of scholars. Victor was tall and straight, wearing a pair of glasses, and the neckline and cuffs of his suit were meticulously trimmed. He looks a little haggard, but he still looks like a well-educated professor.

Every professor has his own independent office, but there is also a public office where everyone sits together and chats. After Jonathan left, his public office was vacant. This time when Victor came, he happened to sit in the The original position of Jonathan was next to Schiller.

During the first chat with Victor, Schiller found that Victor had been staring at the ring on Schiller's ring finger in a daze.

After a while, he finally brought the topic to family, and asked, You seem to be married. Is your wife also in Gotham now?

In European and American countries, it is actually impolite to talk about each other's marital status when they meet for the first time. Some people may feel that this offends their privacy.

It can be seen that Victor's mental state is not very good now. He seems to be very anxious and wants to seek approval.

Schiller froze for a moment when he heard this question. He didn't know how to answer it. He couldn't tell the other party that he had a symbiote who watched too many TV shows, right?

Schiller's silence was understood by Victor as another meaning.

People are like this, they will always unconsciously look for the same kind in the situation of insecurity and anxiety, and want to find comfort from their same experience as themselves.

Victor thought of Schiller's astonishing resume, and he thought that perhaps among those thrilling detective stories, there might be a more poignant love story than his.

Holding this sense of identity of the same people who have fallen in the end of the world, Victor and Schiller quickly became familiar with each other.

In the subsequent exchanges, Schiller found that he and Victor did have a lot in common. Victor liked to talk about ancient philosophy, modern art and religious art, and Schiller also liked theology and philosophy. The two of them had a lot in common, and they could even chat for an entire afternoon when they were not in class.

Schiller did not expect that the first close friend he found after time travel was the villain Freeze.

But I have to say that Mr. Freeze, who has not yet turned into a villain, is actually very charismatic. He is always gentle and gentle, has a strong ability to empathize, his words are gentle and orderly, and he has very unique insights when talking about some issues. , Chatting with him reminded Schiller of the debates he had with experts in the same field in his previous life, which always sparked countless sparks of thinking.

The mild-mannered villain looks pretty good, and that's something everyone in the office agrees with.

With the in-depth communication with Victor, Schiller also knew his current situation. Victor has used cryogenic technology to seal his wife, but this technique costs a lot of money and requires a demanding venue.

The research institute that originally funded his research was unwilling to provide a venue for Victor because of insufficient funds, so Victor came to Gotham University in a hurry, except because the salary offered here was not bad, it was for the Wayne family Paying for a cryogenic laboratory here, where he can ensure that his wife is kept in a state of being frozen and her condition will not deteriorate.

If combined with the later stories of Freeze Man, his behavior may look a little abnormal, but in fact, most of the colleagues in the office can understand Victor. The theory that people who cure diseases are frozen and wait until the day when medical technology develops.

And Victor is just the forerunner of it.

Schiller believes that such a Victor Fries, even if he did not encounter an experimental accident and became the Freeze Man later, he is still a quite reliable ally.

Compared with the little bats that haven't grown up yet, the Freeze Man, who has the world's cutting-edge low-temperature technology and a brain full of knowledge, seems more reliable.

If you want to solve Freeze's troubles forever, you still have to solve his wife's degenerative disease first.

Schiller followed Victor to visit the cryogenic warehouse where his wife was sealed. Mrs. Fries was not very beautiful, she was just an ordinary white woman, but Victor always looked at her with love in his eyes.

Schiller mentally asked the symbiote, Is there a way?

The symbiote said, Nervous atrophy, it's troublesome.

Victor looked at the cryogenic chamber and said: My wife's neurodegenerative disease is almost incurable. Her nerve cells die too fast. I only have time to seal her up. There is no way to reverse it, even if I can barely control it. Live cell death, immune inflammation also damages her brain...

Victor knelt down, and anyone could hear the despair in his tone. Maybe he knew that he was just deceiving himself and others by freezing his wife up and waiting for a solution that might never come.

Schiller frowned and thought, he thought, although Victor is one of the most famous villains in Gotham, he is indeed the world's top cryogenic scientist, but professional things have to be done by professional people, for example, a certain A more top neurosurgeon.

Schiller was back in Marvel's New York the next day.

When Strange saw Schiller at his own home, he threw the coat he had just taken off on the porch next to him, and said, Oh my God, you just showed up at my home with such a brazen presence!

I haven't settled with you yet, you sold my information to a certain organization.

That's what they asked me, and I can't help it.

In the process of staring at Schiller, Strange had no choice but to deal with it, and he said, Okay, but you can't expect me to be like a well-trained agent and do nothing. Say, and it was indeed you who threatened me first.

Don't mention this, I have a way to make a fortune now, do you want to hear it?

Strange asked suspiciously: A way to get rich? If there is such a way, you will come to me? I heard that you gave that Stark a consultation fee of 1 million US dollars for an hour, and he actually returned agreed!

When I heard the news, I wished I could go back to college and study psychology!

Now, there is a wife who suffers from a very serious neurodegenerative disease, and her husband may have the world's unique cryogenic patented technology. You know, it's the kind of technology that can be eaten for a lifetime just by patent fees.

If you can cure this lady's disease, then we can share this patent together.

Strange pursed his lips and sighed, I repeat, I'm a doctor, not God.

Do you think you can't cure this disease?

But first, shouldn't you let me see the patient first, not you, a second-hand dealer?

For some reason, you may not be able to see her, but I have all her pathological information here.

As he said that, Schiller conjured a lot of paper out of thin air. Strange took it, glanced at it briefly, then shook his head and said, Impossible, it can't be saved, just give up.

Just as Schiller was about to speak, Strange said: This is not a matter of neuroscience. If you want her to fully recover, the difficulty is almost equivalent to reducing a piece of baked bacon to a pig. .”

Then he looked Schiller up and down, and finally set his eyes on the ring on his ring finger, Strange said: ...well, my wording just now was a bit absolute, otherwise you can go find someone else, Although I don't think there is a better neurosurgeon in the world than me.

What if you team up with Stark?

Strange just wanted to deny it, but he thought for a while and said: That Stark may have done some research on mechanics, but his technology still needs a lot of research and modification if he wants to apply it to neurosurgery. Persuade him to spend so much effort to study this technology, then I can try it, but you'd better prepare a consultation fee that I am satisfied with.

Before Strange finished speaking, Schiller had disappeared. Thinking of the ring he saw on Schiller's hand just now, and of Schiller's attitude, Strange obviously misunderstood something, he sighed, She said to herself, Ah, love...is really stupid.

Schiller, who suddenly appeared behind Stark, startled him and yelled: I know you have this amazing magic! But it's not like you can walk 30 floors without using an elevator. Reason! Aren't you afraid of being stuck in the wall?

Schiller said, What the hell are you talking about? How could the teleportation get stuck in the wall? That would be stupid.

Hopefully I don't get a call one day from a maintenance guy telling me there's a human-shaped hole in one of the walls of Stark Tower.

Okay, I'm here to find you on business.

Schiller took out the pile of materials again.

Ten minutes later, Stark said: Actually, you really found the right person. I still have some research on neurology.

He walked around the table with a pen in his hand and said, You know, last time I got a lot of biomechanical information from Obadiah's database, and there are some technologies related to the transformation of the nervous system to adapt to mechanical control.

Although these technologies are dangerous, it is undeniable that if successful, it will allow the human body to control the mecha to an unprecedented level of precision.

If the machine can receive commands directly from the nerve center, it will save all the time required for secondary operations, and it will allow all the armor to be truly handy.

So you can do it?

No, not yet. Obadiah's research on this technology is also stuck in the bottleneck period. There is a key technical threshold that needs to be broken through. We don't even have an idea yet.
