The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

There is only one pizza, but it's a guest from afar, so you should eat it. Schiller opened the valve in the kitchen, heated up the pot, then heated up the pizza, poured two glasses of water, and brought it to the table.

Bruce sat at one end of the dining table, looking at the steaming pizza, but he didn't have any appetite. He was very concerned about the chair that had no two legs now, thinking it was more important than any food.

However, physical condition does not depend on growing strength. Bruce is indeed very hungry. In the past two days, he only ate a little conch and kelp, and he couldn't resist the tempting aroma of modern industrialized food. After that, he was still shaking With clasped hands, he picked up a piece of pizza and put it in his mouth.

Every standard apartment in Hell's Kitchen has a refrigerator. The reason for this is compact ice. The refrigeration method of the refrigerator has undergone great changes, and the cost has become lower, but the freshness preservation performance is better.

Therefore, the pizza tasted very good, as if it had just been baked. Schillerzhu sat across from her and watched her eat. Bruce stuffed the pizza into his mouth mechanically. After eating half of it, he said: You don't eat it. ?

No, Schiller replied.

Aren't you hungry then? Bruce asked again.

If I'm hungry, I'll find something to eat by myself. Schiller took a sip of water, turned his eyes aside, and blocked the cup in front of his mouth.

Bruce thought of some bad things, so he couldn't eat immediately, but at this time, Schiller coughed twice and spit out the water in his mouth.

God! Why is this water so bad? Schiller frowned, looked at the water in the glass, and said, Isn't there a water purifier already installed here???

Bruce drank the glass of water in front of him. He said, Yes, but the water purifier is a performance type, and the taste cannot be guaranteed. It is completely different from the independent water purifier in the rich area.

Schiller frowned and showed a very disgusted expression. He put the water glass back on the table and said, I need someone to bring me a clean glass of water. This is too bad to drink.

This is clean water. Bruce replied: The safety of the water purifier can be guaranteed, but the taste is a bit worse.

That's the point, Schiller said, rising from the table.

Then. He walked to the phone in the living room of this house, dialed the number and said, I remember when I came in, I saw the phone number of the gangster here on the advertisement on the wall, let me think... Oh, hello, hello.

...I'm Rodriguez, a new resident here. Today is the first day of my new house. I wonder if you can come to my housewarming party and bring a glass of clean water as a gift?

No, this is not a harassing call. I'm telling you very seriously. If you really don't want to come to the party, you can just send me a glass of water.

Do you think I'm joking? But I really need a glass of water right now, and I can tell you what might happen if I can't get this glass of water.

I have a principle, that is, if I don't have an umbrella, no one is allowed to rain, and if I can't drink water, then no one is allowed to drink.

If you don't bring me a glass of water, I'll walk 8.7 kilometers southeast from here to the ACE chemical factory on the edge of the East End.

There is a chemical preparation for making pesticides that is being produced recently, and the concentrated solution is still fatal to humans after being diluted about 1,800 times.

At 11:10 tonight, I will reach the northwest gate of the ACE Chemical Plant and divert the bodyguards there. At 11:30, I will successfully enter the management office of the ACE Chemical Plant, where I will check the chemical preparations I need. s position.

At 11:40, I'll go to the warehouse of the chemical factory, find what I need, bottle it, and take it back to Living Hell.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, I will find the water source valve of the living hell, and then follow the pipeline to the water purification area at the bottom, and put the chemical reagents in the bottle into the water source in stages.

I'm not good at chemistry, so I can't estimate how many people will die, but if there is a large-scale water poisoning incident, you will definitely be blamed, or you can also blame it on the person who made the water purifier idiot.

Schiller glanced at Bruce and said, Anyway, it was Batman's fault in the first place. He made the purified water here too unpalatable.

Hanging up the phone, within five minutes, there was a knock on the door. After opening the door, a strong man in a suit and leather shoes and sunglasses appeared first, and behind him were four or five bodyguards. All armed.

Schiller stepped forward, shook hands with the strong man and said, Hi, Mr. Hans, welcome to my new home, please come in.

Hans didn't move, he looked Schiller from head to toe, and then waved his hand to let the people behind him put down their guns, because he was sure that the person in front of him was the kind of person he thought.

In Gotham, there is a truth that everyone knows, that is, if you are in the East Side, if you see a person who looks thin, weak, and polite, who speaks in a soft-spoken and soft-spoken manner, there are only two words—— run away.

This is actually a very clear logic. In a security situation like Gotham, if power is not dominant, how on earth does this kind of person survive?

Living Hell is relatively centrally located in the East District, surrounded by gangster territory, and they are all gangsters who are not easy to mess with.

want to get in here. There are two ways, either you don't look easy to mess with, big and three thick, with tattoos all over your body, you just look like a stubble.

Either that. As long as no one knows you're in, you're in.

Gotham people are not afraid of those very strong people, because such people can be seen everywhere. In order to gain an advantage in a firefight, gangsters are very self-disciplined and make themselves look as vicious as possible.

And those who don't look vicious at all, have a very calm tone, don't use dirty words, and look very easy to bully, can survive in the slums, which means that they must use other methods, and this method is more varied , It's not easy to pass the trial.

Of course, there will also be some piggies from other places. They had this style when they first came here, but the smart people among them will try to integrate into Gotham, disguise themselves with a tough appearance, in exchange for some convenience, and the stupid people , definitely can't make it to living hell alive.

So here, there is such a person, and it is conceivable what kind of identity he is.

And the people of Gotham are also very clear that it is not a wise choice to use force with such a person. Unless you are sure that you can completely crush him, otherwise, you may see him standing in front of you the moment you close your eyes tonight. On your bedside, grinning at you.

Seemingly shaking hands with Schiller very seriously, he said, The water here tastes really bad, right? Sir, did you just move here today?

Schiller nodded and said: Yes, in fact, it's my first time to come to the East Side, you should be able to tell that I'm not a native of Gotham, I just came here not long... Oh, look, I'm really too It's impolite to let you stand outside for so long, come in quickly.

Hans took a slight step back and said, No, sir, I won't disturb your housewarming party, the water you need.

Hans handed over a bottle of water, Schiller took two steps forward, took it without thinking, then unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, nodded and said, Pure water still tastes better, thank you, Mr. Hans, if you are in any trouble, you can come to me, and I will be happy to pay a good price for this bottle of water.

Hans waved to him and said, Good-bye, then, sir.

goodbye.

Schiller closed the door, drank two more sips of water, let out a contented sigh, then he took the two glasses away and cleaned them, poured a glass of pure water for Bruce and said, You should try this, then Let the glass of water you just drank feel ashamed in your stomach.

Bruce put his hands over his eyes and said, You can't...

Can't what? Schiller looked at Bruce and said, You won't say that I can't deal with gangsters, will you? Please, don't you see what's going on now?

I was suddenly notified to live here for a period of time. I don't know the place here, and I don't even have any friends. I have to find a place to settle down and meet some people before I can find a job, right?

Looking for a job? Bruce's tone fluctuated a little, he pursed his lips and said, What kind of job are you going to find?

Schiller sat down, drank water and said: I hope this job can provide me with enough food and water, not to be too tired, and preferably to meet my personal hobbies.

He lowered his head and shook his head and said, It's a bit whimsical, isn't it? But one has to dare to think before he can dare to do it.

Bruce had already thought of some very scary things from his job requirements. He carefully looked at the opposite professor. In fact, he had never been so close to Schiller.

This proximity refers not to physical distance, but to their situation.

Many times, Schiller is in the role of a teacher. In this case, he will habitually oppress Bruce with words to gain the initiative.

Bruce, on the other hand, is usually busy looking for opportunities to fight back and regain the initiative. Every time the two of them talk, they are always trying to test each other, and they seldom have the time to calm down and talk.

And now. The situation and status of the two of them are completely consistent, and Bruce can observe Schiller more carefully.

Then he discovered that some of the professor's behaviors were indeed a bit weird. For example, every time he put down the water glass, he put it on the same point precisely, without any error. The octagonal water glass always rushed towards him. noodle.

Schiller would stare at the glass as he put it down to make sure it was in the right place.

At the same time, many of Schiller's movements were actually not smooth, and seemed a little stiff. Bruce found that his eyes were not in the right place. He followed his eyes and found that Schiller seemed to be counting floor tiles.

Bruce carefully recalled the picture in his memory, and he found that it was not the first time Schiller did this.

In fact, he has always been slightly different from ordinary people. This difference does not refer to his ability to turn into gray mist or mind reading skills, but that he will show differences from ordinary people when he performs certain daily instinctive actions. .

It's less like OCD because he doesn't have a pathological compulsion, more like an instinct and a naturally occurring habit.

At this time, Bruce recalled that he seemed to have heard from Victor that Schiller was an autistic patient, and he was a well-known scholar-type autistic patient.

Savant Syndrome, a specific psychiatric disorder in which sufferers display extra genius in some areas but are cognitively impaired in others.

If Schiller is cognitively impaired in some aspects... Bruce doesn't need to think about it, he knows which aspects it is, in simple terms, it is every aspect of being connected with people.
