Chapter 2555: Whistling Down (Thirteen)

Chapter 2529: Xiao Xiao Down (Thirteen)

After Schiller said that, the Joker left without looking back. He knew that this was not a person who could be easily shaken by words, so he waited to see how Schiller would be an ordinary person, and he didn't mind adding a little obstacle to Schiller in the process.

After the Joker left, Schiller finally had time to carefully check the bank, 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 salesperson 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 didn't find it, so he knew that it must have been taken away. He turned around for a long time before finding this thing under the ruins at the entrance. There was his signature on it, and a smiley face was drawn on the back.

Don't even think about it. When the police come to clean up the mess, they will definitely find it. 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 suspected, he did not really rob 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 affected by greed. Now his mind was full of money.

Well, he could understand why the Joker turned away so easily, because money was indeed a big problem. Schiller faced a situation similar to Bruce at the time. He had few friends at the level of ordinary people and did not have sufficient social connections, so he was always restrained when doing things.

Of course, he could also use some illegal means to create jobs for himself like in the slums, and use a lack of morality to make up for the lack of interpersonal relationships, but this is not that era, and crimes are not easy to commit. If you really want to do it, you have to plan carefully. He has to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation first.

I still have to go and see the house first, Schiller thought. He actually has a deposit, which is about the amount that he should have at his level. Moreover, he usually eats in the faculty cafeteria, where the reimbursement rate is very high. Recently, he has no morbid needs, and he does not need to buy new clothes and decorations. He can still afford to refuel when he goes out, so the most troublesome thing is the house.

Schiller got in the car and drove all the way to the destination. When he passed by, he thought that although he could not find Harley to buy a house, he could also entrust her to sell his manor.

The car slowly drove into the South District. What the agent said was not wrong. The location of this house is good. It is on the edge of a whole villa area. It is relatively quiet. There is a large lawn next to it, and there is an artificial lake. There is a small forest on the right. Everywhere you look is green.

Of course, this is during the day. Now at night, the moonlight is reflected on the north lake surface even paler. There are shadows in the forest, as if countless ghosts are floating by. The bushes on the lawn sway in the breeze, as if there is something hiding under each cluster.

Schiller observed carefully and found that there was nothing unusual except for the natural phenomena that might cause fear. The haunting was indeed fake.

However, in order to prevent accidents, he still used the energy in the gray fog to open the spiritual world vision and took out the umbrella.

After getting the new umbrella, Schiller also tested it. At first, he didn't measure anything. It was just because of the existence of the equation that the umbrella was unbreakable and could not be corroded by any chemical agents.

The reason for the abnormality was that one day it was raining. After Schiller came back with the umbrella, he handed it to Merkel. Merkel also held up the umbrella and hung it aside. After a while, Schiller called Merkel but he didn't respond.

Schiller went downstairs and found that Merkel was squatting next to the umbrella and muttering something. He was not very conscious. Schiller took a lot of effort to wake him up. After a check, he found that Merkel was hypnotized.

Although it is hard to believe, this umbrella has a hypnotic function, and it is independent and does not require anyone to use it. It only needs to be placed there, and when someone sees his umbrella, the other person will be hypnotized.

After further testing, Schiller found that if he actively uses this umbrella, any creature can be hypnotized, even plants. According to Pamela who cooperated with the experiment, this is not actually hypnosis, but a transformation.

The radio waves released by everything are transformed into anti-life radio waves by the equation on the umbrella surface, and naturally they can be controlled by the anti-life equation.

However, this ability is not completely controllable. Schiller guessed that if he came down a little later, Merkel would probably be completely out of control after being transformed into an anti-life creature.

Fortunately, if Schiller does not actively use it, it will generally not have any impact, but still be careful, when the umbrella is stored independently, someone may accidentally get hit.

Schiller now tries to avoid opening the umbrella. He got out of the car holding the closed umbrella like 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 pillars, with two small and one large arches. The main entrance was located 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 gently, and the gray fog told him that it was made of walnut with good quality.

There was no complicated and gorgeous decoration at the door of the manor. It was simple but unique. Schiller walked to the window and took a look. Unfortunately, the curtains were drawn in the house, so he couldn't see the internal structure clearly.

He knew that the real estate agent might want him to come and see what was going on with the haunted house, but Schiller really came to see the house. As long as the house satisfied him, he didn't mind having an extra roommate who wouldn't get dirty. Anyway, he had adapted to Merkel's existence before.

Schiller walked over and knocked on the door. The abrupt knock echoed in the empty room and was particularly loud. After a while, Schiller heard a thump, as if something suddenly fell to the ground.

The sound was not very loud. It should have come from the second floor. Schiller stepped back a few steps and looked up at the window on the second floor, but the curtains were also drawn there, so he couldn't see anything.

Ordinary people should be scared off at this time, but it stands to reason that ordinary people in Gotham will definitely give it another try, and the real estate agent and the first few people who came to see the house could not have been without guns, so this level of intimidation was not enough to break their psychological defenses.

Schiller used the gray mist to unlock the door, turned the door handle and walked in.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the living room, which is also a common European and American decoration style. Historically, most of the people who landed on the East Coast were from Ireland, so many wealthy areas like to use Irish style decoration.

The walls are olive green, the lower part is beige wall skirts, and the floor is decorated with brown-red and beige interwoven patterns. On the left hand side is a small fireplace, followed by the same olive green sofa and armchairs, and a small round table in the middle, with a vase of hydrangeas on the round table.

The entire wall opposite the door is full of paintings, basically all Caravaggio-style portraits. Go to the left and there is a wall cabinet made of the same walnut wood, and then walk past it to the dining room.

The restaurant is generally brown-red in tone, only the upholstered part of the chair is dark olive green, the tablecloth on the table is also green, and there are hydrangeas interwoven with white and blue in the middle.

Although it is always said that red and green are not good, in fact, brown-red and olive green are very typical British style combinations, which are widely used in interior decoration. Similar ones 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. The furniture is all 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 likes to watch TV, but there is no place to hang it in the manor where he lived before. There is indeed a space above the fireplace, but he is not sure whether the current electronic equipment can withstand the high temperature of the fireplace. The wall on the side of the living room can also be hung, but the problem is that those famous paintings have to be removed. The wall is dark, like a hole, which is really not very good-looking.

Trying to put modern electronic equipment into such an old manor is not only difficult for the manor, but also for the electronic equipment, and it is easy to end up with no practicality and aesthetics.

However, a new house does not have such concerns. It is obvious that space for a TV was reserved when the house was built, and because it serves the wealthy class, a lot of space is reserved for the TV.

Thanks to the Wayne Group and the Lex Group, plasma TVs appeared early, and LED screens also had their own appearance. Although it was not yet the millennium, 60-inch and 70-inch large TVs had already become popular among the wealthy class.

Schiller even picked up the remote control with interest to bet whether the boot animation was a bat or the earth. The former was the logo of the Wayne Group, and the latter was the logo of the Luther Group.

When the TV was turned on, it was indeed an earth logo. The Lex Group did a better job in civilian equipment, and Lex Luthor was the one who made money.

The quality of this TV is quite good. At least Schiller could not see the difference with the TV he watched in the research institute in his previous life. Schiller did not know whether it was different from the TV in the back, because he was busy at that time and had no time to watch TV.

I was just going to check the quality of the TV, but the midnight radio station was broadcasting a variety show. The program team found several skilled carpenters to go to various farms to use their skills to help farmers solve various problems.

Today's episode is about them working together to help farmers improve the environment of the old barn. Some are studying the wooden pillars that have been gnawed by insects, some have taken out various cool cutting machines to show off their skills, and some are listening carefully to the farmers' complaints, ready to find more problems.

Schiller's attention was quickly attracted. He really wanted to know how to replace the rotten wooden pillars without demolishing the entire roof. How do they plan to build the supporting structure, or do they plan to abandon the troublesome wooden structure and use reinforced concrete.

When I was watching the backstage interview with the leader analyzing the stress structure of the entire house, the picture suddenly flashed, the TV made a strange sound, and then the screen went black.

Schiller stood up and looked around, walked to the side of the TV and tapped it. Just as he leaned over to see if there was anything wrong with 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 so much, he said to Gray Fog: "Hurry up and find a way to fix the TV, I have to continue watching."
