American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Chapter 649: Chihai Turbulence (2)

Hal and Oliver were playing cards in the presidential suite of the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. Looking out the window, Arthur was swimming in the open-air pool downstairs, and many beauties focused on his strong and toned figure, as he grew The action made bursts of exclamations.

"The boat doesn't drive very well, but he is very good at showing off his muscles." Oliver sighed and said, "I did the same when I was young. In order to show off my muscles at the pool party, I soaked in the gym two months in advance."

"You should thank your fitness experience for giving you a good physique when surviving on a desert island, otherwise you will definitely not be able to persist." Hal threw a poker and said.

Oliver nodded, and then he said, "I called back to Star City just now. My housekeeper was surprised that I was still alive, and he was very surprised. He hoped that I could go back soon..."

"Then why are you still here?" Hal stretched out his hand and glanced at his watch and said, "Star City is not far from here. If you leave now, you should arrive before dawn."

Oliver shook his head and said, "These days on the desert island, I have been thinking about a question, where does the suffering of people come from?"

"Why do you suddenly think about such a thing? You are also a philosopher?" Hal took a sip of cold sparkling water, took a deep breath, and said, "I thought that only professors like Schiller could Will study such useless philosophical questions."

"How can this be said to be useless? Haven't you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it, but is it useful to think about it?" Hal sighed and said, "Sitting here thinking about these things won't make someone in this world less miserable, I'd rather use this time. to help others."

"But with your help, can all the suffering in this world disappear?" Oliver asked.

"Of course not, but disappearing a little counts, and saving a person counts as a person, doesn't it?" Hal said.

"This is a completely negative idea. If you can't figure out why everyone is suffering from a spiritual level, there will never be a way to truly save them." Oliver said seriously.

Hal paused in his poker hand, and said, "I've heard a similar argument from someone."

"Who is it?" Oliver asked looking into his eyes.

"It should be Schiller. I think he is the only person I know who can say this." Hal scratched his head and said, "Sometimes, I can't understand those psychological and philosophical theories, but many times , those words would go round in my head again as if I had understood and remembered them."

"When he treated my wounds, he didn't act like someone who had the patience to read philosophy." Oliver pouted.

Just after saying this, the door of the room rang, Schiller opened the door, looked at the two people who were sitting in the middle of the living room playing cards, and said, "You guys haven't slept yet?"

"It's still early, but you, how was your trip to visit an old friend? He didn't leave you overnight?" Hal asked, looking up at him.

Schiller snorted coldly and said, "Yeah, because he wants to stay with someone else for the night, a beautiful female police officer."

Oliver and Hal laughed in unison, obviously gloating. After Schiller changed his shoes, he walked in, walked to the sofa and sat down, and then touched a hand of cards.

The three of them chatted while playing cards. After chatting, they returned to the topic of island survival. Hal recalled what Oliver said before, and asked, "You said that the drug dealers directly slaughtered the entire village, what is it? What's the matter?"

"When I first arrived on the island, I found traces of people living. I was overjoyed, but after catching up, I found no living people, but the remains of a village."

"That should be the place where the original islanders lived. Judging from the traces of life, the last time someone was active should be a long time ago."

"I didn't find the corpse, but I found some stumps. Following these traces, I found the place where these **** butchers buried the villagers. There are about a dozen corpses there, which should be all the villagers..."

"The whole village was looted by them, and nothing useful was left. I wanted to survive there, but..."

Oliver shook his head and said with a sad expression: "I saw the traces of their past lives and thought of the tragic state of their bodies, and I felt very sad, and it was far from fresh water and the food was not abundant, so in the end, I still left."

"Damn drug dealers, they are getting more and more rampant!" Hal took a deep breath and said, "You may not know that Seaside City also relied on fishing for a period of time. At that time, the most feared thing for ocean-going ships was Drug dealers over there in South America."

"If they encounter pirates, the pirates will only kidnap the crew and extort ransom. As long as they come up with some money, they will not kill people easily. If the captain is willing to pay the cost, as long as the goods are handed over, at least there is no danger to life."

"But the drug dealers are different. They have no humanity at all. They don't need any survivors. As long as they board the ship, they will kill the entire crew." Hal's face was very gloomy. He said, "My uncle, that is, I Father's eldest brother died at their hands."

"Moreover, if you dare to resist, they will torture you to death, and then throw it into the sea. My uncle was a retired army officer. He suffered inhuman torture, and even his body could not be found..."

Hal lowered his head, the sadness between his brows was more obvious, he said: "Since then, my parents have firmly refused to allow me to travel far, because I am their eldest son, and they are worried that I will be like my uncle, In such danger..."

"I want to avenge these villagers." Oliver hesitated, but he still said: "I know that the drug trade has a long history, and I'm afraid it is difficult to eradicate it, but I don't think I can stand idly by."

"What are you going to do?" Hal asked immediately. Obviously, he also had this idea. Oliver turned his head, glanced out the window, and said to Arthur, who was still playing in the pool downstairs:

"Arthur can communicate with fish. He said before that a killer whale's mother was killed by these drug dealers. Then we can use his ability to let the killer whale lead the way and find the base of this group of drug dealers for us. , and then avenge those villagers."

Schiller remained silent, Hal and Oliver looked at him, Schiller didn't express his opinion, he just said: "If you want to go, go, but I'm seasick, so I won't be with you."

"Don't you think they are really cruel?" Hal asked, looking at Schiller's unchanged expression, but then he added: "Ah, I didn't mean to have you go..."

Schiller sighed and said, "Have you ever wondered why this happened?"

"Of course it's because of that group of vicious drug dealers!" Hal hated this group of people so much that he didn't miss every opportunity to scold them. He gritted his teeth and said, "I must destroy them all, for all revenge of the innocent..."

After speaking, Hal stood up and seemed to be furious. Oliver also stood up with him. The two reached an agreement on this aspect, and it took a while. Arthur was called up by them. He heard that they were going to deal with drug dealers. He also agreed. He said:

"The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea are rich in fish, and many fleets will go there to fish during resource-rich seasons. They are not afraid of encountering pirates, but they are most afraid of encountering these drug dealers. Their methods are very cruel. I I have heard this terrible legend since I was a child."

"Let's start now. I can use the energy of the green light to make the boat go very fast. With the guidance of the killer whale, we should be able to reach our destination very quickly. When we find their base, they will be finished."

"Let's go now." Oliver also said, remembering the tragic situation he saw on the island at that time.

After the three of them left, Schiller did not relax for too long. Lucifer and Chloe found him again. When the two of them entered the hotel room, it was already dawn, and Schiller was going to have breakfast. People came to the restaurant of the hotel and chatted while eating.

"So, you went to find Delilah's partner and made trouble at his wedding, so you asked for clues?" Schiller asked after taking a bite of salad.

"That's because he didn't cooperate," Lucifer snorted coldly, and Chloe showed a helpless expression and said, "You should listen to me, we should follow the procedure..."

"Okay, anyway, the goal has been achieved, what clues did you ask?" Schiller asked.

"Delilah's partner told us that she has a boyfriend who beats her a lot. Delilah used to cry in the recording studio. Officer Chloe and I went to Delilah's boyfriend's house. A rapper with a chaotic private life..."

"When we went, he was high, and I had to find a way to wake him up a bit. I picked him up and hung him outside the balcony. The wind was blowing for a while, and he finally gave the clue."

"He said he beat Delilah because she cheated, and Delilah often went to a psychiatrist to talk to, and that psychiatrist was named Linda."

"So, we came to you, in fact, we wanted you to do us a favor." Lucifer glanced at Chloe and said actively: "The psychiatrist named Linda is very difficult, I think, since you are A famous psychologist, you should be able to convince him, we want to know, who is Delilah's cheating partner?"

"Did he tell you that it is the professional ethics of psychiatrists to keep patient secrets?" Schiller asked.

Chloe nodded immediately and said, "Yes, that's what she said. We asked many times, but she didn't waver at all, so we thought..."

"Keeping the confidentiality of patients is indeed the professional ethics of psychiatrists, and it is also for me. Therefore, I will not force my colleagues to tell secrets, but I think there should be a better way to investigate the truth."

Chloe and Lucifer looked at each other, then looked at Schiller, who cut the food on the plate with a knife and fork and said, "Although I don't know much about pop music, I know that with pop music and business The rise of movies, there is another thing, that is entertainment newspapers."

"Even in Gotham, I can hear the newsboys running across the street shouting gossip between celebrities. So how do entertainment newspapers get all this gossip?"

Chloe was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly exclaimed: "Paparazzi! Yes! Delilah has recently turned red and purple, and the paparazzi will definitely follow her! Come on, let's go to the Weathervane newspaper, which is the largest gossip newspaper on the West Coast..."

After speaking, Chloe stood up and hurried out. Lucifer glanced back at Schiller, made a "good job" gesture to him, and chased Chloe away.

But at this moment, Schiller, who was eating, put down his fork, turned his head slightly, and glanced at the corner of the hotel restaurant with his eyes, where there was a familiar figure who was taking food.

The figure was wearing a yellow and black uniform, which seemed out of place among the suits and long skirts.

"Long time no see... Death Knell."
