Chapter 2529: Xiao Xiao Down (Thirteen)
After Schiller said that, the clown left without looking back. He knew that this was not a person who could be easily swayed by words, so he waited and saw how Schiller would be an ordinary person, and he didn't mind adding some small obstacles to Schiller in the process.
After the clown left, Schiller finally had time to check the bank carefully, and then he found that this guy really had a trick up his sleeve. He was halfway through making a deposit, but the deposit receipt had already been signed. After the clerk hid and ran upstairs, Schiller had no time to see where the deposit receipt in his hand had gone.
This thing should have been placed on the counter, but Schiller looked around the counter and couldn't find it, so he knew it must have been taken away. He searched for a long time before he found it under the ruins at the entrance. There was his signature on it and a smiley face drawn on the back.
It goes without saying that the police will definitely find it when they come to clean up the mess. Once this thing is delivered to Gordon, Schiller will be the first suspect in this bank robbery.
Schiller was not afraid of being suspected by Gordon. Although he was suspected, he did not really steal the money. The money did not fall into his hands. Wouldn't it be a loss to be suspected?
Schiller gently pressed his head with his hand. He was really influenced by greed, and now his mind was full of money.
Well, he could understand why the Joker turned around and left so easily, because money was indeed a big problem. Schiller was facing a similar situation to Bruce at the time. He didn't have many friends among ordinary people, nor did he have sufficient social connections, so he was always restricted in doing things.
Of course, he could also use some illegal means to create jobs for himself like he did in the slums, and use his lack of morals to make up for the lack of interpersonal relationships, but this is not that era anymore, and crime is not easy to commit. If he really wants to do it, he has to plan carefully, and he has to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation first.
I still have to go and look at houses first, Schiller thought. He actually has a savings, an amount that is about what people of his class should have, and he usually eats in the faculty cafeteria, where the reimbursement rate is very high. He has not had any abnormal needs recently, and he does not need to buy new clothes or decorations. He can still afford to fill up the gas tank when he goes out, so the most troublesome thing is the house.
Schiller got in the car and drove towards his destination. As he passed the destination, he thought that although he couldn't ask Harley to buy a house, he could entrust her to sell his manor.
The car slowly drove into the South District. What the agent said was indeed correct. The house had a good location, on the edge of an entire villa area. It was relatively quiet, with a large lawn and an artificial lake next to it. There was a small forest on the right, and greenery was all around.
Of course, this was during the day. Now at night, the moonlight reflected off the north lake was even paler. There were shadows in the forest, as if countless ghosts were floating by. The bushes on the lawn were swaying in the breeze, as if there was something hiding under each cluster.
Schiller observed carefully and found that there was nothing unusual except natural phenomena that might cause people to have fearful associations. The haunting was indeed fake.
But in order to prevent accidents, he still used the energy in the gray fog to open his spiritual vision and took out his umbrella.
After getting the new umbrella cover, Schiller also tested it. He didn't find anything at first, but because of the existence of the equation, the umbrella cover was unbreakable and could not be corroded by any chemical agent.
The abnormality was discovered when it was raining one day. After Schiller came back with an umbrella, he handed it to Merkel. Merkel also opened the umbrella and put it aside. After a while, no matter how Schiller called Merkel, there was no response.
When Schiller went downstairs, he found Merkel squatting next to the umbrella, muttering to himself, and not very conscious. Schiller took great effort to wake him up. After some examination, he found that Merkel was hypnotized.
Although it is hard to believe, this umbrella has hypnotic properties and is independent. It does not require anyone to use it. It just needs to be placed there, and when someone sees the umbrella, the other person will be hypnotized.
After further testing, Schiller discovered that if he actively used the umbrella, any living thing could be hypnotized, even plants. According to Pamela, who cooperated with the experiment, this was not actually hypnosis, but a transformation.
The radio waves released by all things are converted into anti-life radio waves by the equations on the umbrella surface, and can naturally be controlled by the anti-life equations.
However, this ability is not completely controllable. Schiller guessed that if he had come down a little later, Merkel would have been completely out of control after being transformed into an anti-life creature.
Fortunately, if Schiller does not actively use it, it generally does not have any impact, but you still have to be careful, because when the umbrella is stored independently, someone may accidentally get caught.
Schiller now tried to avoid opening his umbrella, and he got out of the car holding his closed umbrella as if it were a knife.
Standing on the street at night, Schiller looked at the appearance of the house. It was a very typical American city villa, with two floors, gray-white exterior walls and a blue roof. The gap between the first and second floors extended outward to the porch. The top of the porch was the same color as the roof, and the bottom was separated by four columns. There were two small and one large arches, and the main entrance was under the largest arch in the middle.
Schiller walked towards the main door. The door of the house was actually brown-red. Schiller touched the door lightly, and Gray Mist told him that it was made of high-quality walnut wood.
It did not have the complicated and gorgeous decorations at the entrance of the manor. It was very simple but very unique. Schiller walked to the side and took a look at the window. Unfortunately, the curtains of the house were drawn and he could not see the internal structure clearly.
He knew that the real estate agent might want him to come and see what the haunting was all about, but Schiller really came to see the house. As long as he was satisfied with the house, he didn't particularly mind having a roommate who wouldn't make things dirty. Anyway, he had already gotten used to Merkel's presence.
Schiller walked over and knocked on the door. The sudden knock echoed particularly loudly in the empty room. After a while, Schiller heard a thud, as if something suddenly fell to the ground.
The sound was not very loud, it should have come from the second floor. Schiller took a few steps back and looked up at the window on the second floor, but the curtains were drawn there too, so he could not see anything.
Ordinary people should have been scared away at this point, but logically speaking, ordinary people in Gotham would definitely give it another try, and it is impossible that the real estate agent and the first few people who came to see the house were not carrying guns. This level of intimidation is not enough to break down their psychological defenses.
Schiller directly used the gray mist to unlock the door, turned the door handle and walked in.
The living room is right after the entrance and adopts the common European and American decoration style. Historically, most of the people who landed on the east coast were Irish, so many wealthy areas like to use Irish style decoration.
The walls are olive green, the lower part is beige dado, the floor is covered with a brown and beige patterned decorative floor, on the left is a small fireplace, and then there are sofas and armchairs that are also olive green, and in the middle is a small round table with a vase of hydrangeas on it.
The entire wall opposite the entrance is covered with paintings, mostly Caravaggio-style portraits. To the left there is a walnut wall cabinet, and past that is the restaurant.
The restaurant is generally decorated in brown-red tones, with only the upholstered parts of the chairs being dark olive green. The table runners on the tables are also green, with white and blue hydrangeas placed in the middle.
Although it is often said that red and green do not go well together, in fact, brown-red and olive green are very typical British style combinations and are commonly used in interior decoration. Similar combinations include red and gold, and red and blue.
Although the decoration style is relatively retro, it can still be seen that this is a new house. Everything in the furniture is brand new. More importantly, it is matched with modern furniture suitable for modern people. Schiller even felt a little moved when he saw the 70-inch TV hanging in the living room.
Schiller still liked watching TV, but there was no place to hang it in the manor where he lived before. There was indeed a space above the fireplace, but he was not sure whether the current electronic equipment could withstand the high temperature of the fireplace. The wall on the side of the living room could be hung, but the problem was that those famous paintings would have to be taken down. The wall was pitch black, like a hole in it, which was not very nice.
Trying to cram modern electronic equipment into such an old manor would be a problem for both the manor and the electronic equipment, and in the end it would easily lead to a complete loss of practicality and aesthetics.
However, there is no such concern for a new house. It is obvious that space was left for a TV when the house was built, and because it serves the wealthy class, a lot of space is left for the TV.
Thanks to the Wayne Group and the Lex Group, plasma TVs appeared ahead of schedule and LED screens also began to emerge. Although it was not yet the millennium, 60-inch and 70-inch TVs had already become popular among the wealthy.
Schiller even picked up the remote control with interest and bet on whether the startup animation would be a bat or the earth. The former is the logo of the Wayne Group, and the latter is the logo of the Luthor Group.
When I turned on the TV, I saw an earth logo. LexCorp was better at civilian equipment, but it was Lex Luthor who was good at making money.
The quality of this TV is quite good. At least Schiller could not tell the difference with his naked eyes from the TV he watched in the research institute in his previous life. As for whether it was different from the TV he watched later, Schiller did not know because he was busy at that time and had no time to watch TV.
Originally, I just wanted to watch the TV quality, but the midnight radio station happened to be broadcasting a variety show. The program team found several highly skilled carpenters and asked them to go to various farms and use their skills to help farmers solve various problems.
Today's episode is about them working together to help the farmer improve the environment of the old barn. Some are studying the wooden pillars that have been damaged by insects, some have taken out all kinds of cool cutting machines to show off their skills, and others are listening carefully to the farmer's complaints, ready to discover more problems.
Schiller was immediately drawn to the idea. He really wanted to know how to replace the rotten wooden columns without tearing down the entire roof, how they were going to build the supporting structure, or whether they were going to abandon the troublesome wooden structure and use reinforced concrete.
When I was watching the backstage interview with the leader analyzing the load-bearing structure of the entire house, the picture suddenly flashed, the TV made a strange noise, and then the screen went black.
Schiller stood up, looked around, walked to the side of the TV and tapped it. Just as he leaned over to see if there was anything unusual on the screen, a ghost suddenly flashed across the screen.
Schiller was slightly stunned, tapped the screen with his fingers and said, "You are on TV? Actually, you are Sadako?"
But Schiller didn't have time to care about that. He said to Gray Fog, "Hurry up and fix the TV. I need to continue watching."
