Chapter 3269 Bloodshed in New City (XVIII)
Catwoman's tracking skills were indeed superb. When following a car, all her operations were very natural. She even pried open a car and switched cars halfway. If Schiller hadn't been in the gray fog, he would have easily lost it.
Lao Qian was very vigilant and walked around the city several times, but still couldn't get rid of Catwoman. Soon he stopped at the back door of a building and turned several corners on foot. Catwoman followed him all the time, and Schiller followed behind Catwoman.
Lao Qian went around to the underground parking lot of a building and took the elevator upstairs. Catwoman took a look at the location of the elevator, came out of the underground parking lot, went around to the side of the building, and counted the number of floors.
Soon the lights in the windows of the corridor on the 32nd floor came on. Catwoman walked around half a circle again and took the freight elevator to the 32nd floor, followed closely by Schiller.
Lao Qian walked through the corridor and came to the door of a laboratory. A fat black woman walked out of the laboratory and took the capsule from her hand.
Catwoman was standing at the corner of the corridor watching this scene, and used the camera of her mobile phone to record the scene of their delivery.
What she didn't know was that Schiller was standing on the other side of the corridor and witnessing all this.
And because of the gray fog, his hearing was much better than Catwoman's. After Old Gun left, he heard Ruth walk into the laboratory while talking on the phone.
"Okay, I got it. I'll arrange for someone to pick them up at the airport tomorrow morning. We don't have time to hold a welcoming party. Have them come directly to the lab. I want the results within a week."
Schiller waited in the laboratory until morning.
Not long after dawn, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and several people hurried into the laboratory. In addition to Ruth, there were a few guys who looked like scientists.
After Ruth left, Schiller said to Gray Mist in his heart: "How is it? Is this the pharmaceutical expert you are looking for?"
It looked like nothing was happening. Gray Mist was silent for a while before saying, "It's done. I have an idea, but I still need to collect some ingredients. This seems to be a chemical research center. Let's go look for it."
Gray Fog searched the building for a while, and when he felt that he had searched enough, Schiller left. Before leaving, he glanced at the sign at the gate - "Charabang Chemical Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd."
Batman also returned to the manor at about this time, with the Pale Knight following behind him.
His body smelled of blood and there was an obvious wound on his shoulder. It was simply bandaged, but the blood kept flowing.
Then the two of them saw the frozen statue of Bruce placed at the back door.
"Let me out!" Bruce said.
Batman and White Knight were both confused.
"What's wrong with you?" The Pale Knight couldn't help but walked forward and knocked on the surface of the ice, then said: "You are frozen, but how can you still speak?"
Batman, however, was more familiar with this technology than he was. He frowned and said, "Why is Mr. Freeze in my manor?"
"This is a long story." Bruce sighed and said, "You guys should find a way to let me out first. I have some very important information to tell you."
"If we don't let you go, you can tell us." The Pale Knight said, "You tell us first."
Batman rarely refuted him, so Bruce had to say, "It wasn't Mr. Freeze who froze me here, but Schiller. I don't know where he got a freezing device from. It's very likely that the two of them are working together."
"Why would he leave you frozen here?"
"Uh... don't be angry." Bruce tried to look innocent and said, "He forced me to crack the defense system of your manor."
"You cracked my manor's defense system?"
"He forced me to do this! He wouldn't let me out unless I was happy."
"But he still hasn't let you out yet?" said the Pale Knight.
Bruce was speechless. He couldn't tell Batman and the Pale Knight that he was a vampire, and that the other party had a high-powered ultraviolet lamp. If he didn't cooperate, he would have nowhere to run and would be burned to ashes.
He used his vampire powers to control the lunatics in Arkham Asylum as his trump card. Greed must have put him here because he knew that he would never say it easily.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Batman and the Pale Knight turned around and saw Schiller standing outside the door.
"I left in such a hurry last night that I left something here. Can I come back and get it?"
The Pale Knight looked back at the ice sculpture Bruce and said, "Is this what you are talking about?"
"Uh, no, he gave it to you." Schiller pointed to the kitchen and said, "There is a bottle of wine there. I forgot to take it. Can you give it to me?"
Batman looked where he was pointing and saw the bottle of red wine and the capsules scattered on the island.
On the way here just now, he saw the Pale Knight taking medicine, and this capsule was exactly the same as the medicine he took.
Batman walked over, picked up the bottle of red wine and took a look, and found that it seemed to contain ordinary red wine.
The Pale Knight found something wrong. He remembered Bruce told him that Schiller gave him a magical thing to eat, claiming that it was used to check his physical condition.
He picked up the capsules and found that they were the same ones in his medicine bottle. So Schiller replaced the powder in the capsules with red wine and fed it to himself? What was so special about this red wine?
The Pale Knight glanced at Batman and realized that he was thinking about this question as well.
"Hey, give me the wine quickly," Schiller said. "And give me those capsules, too. I still need them."
Batman didn't say much. He walked to the door with the red wine, handed the wine to Schiller through the gap in the fence railing, and then gave him the capsules.
But the Pale Knight was very keen to discover that the number of capsules did not match, and Batman must have kept one for himself.
Schiller took back the wine and capsules and got back into the car, then drove away, seemingly without any intention of staying.
Batman also seemed to have lost interest in the ice sculpture of Bruce and hurried to the Batcave. The Pale Knight thought he might be going to study the contents of the capsule.
He was also very curious about what was in the capsule, but Batman would never let him go to the Batcave, so he had to ask Bruce as the next best option.
"I suggest you don't research that thing," Bruce said. "It's very, very, very dangerous."
"Where is the danger?"
Bruce opened his mouth and said, "Remember our last game?"
The Pale Knight frowned.
"That thing was given to him by Naya. I don't know what effect it has, but it's definitely not a good thing."
"Isn't that a prop from the game? Can I bring it out?"
"Anyway, he can. Who knows what his relationship with Naya is." Bruce said as he thought, "Anything related to that guy is very dangerous. You'd better go and persuade Batman."
"I am the last person who can persuade him." The Pale Knight took out his cell phone and said, "We have to find a way to solve your problem now. James has a good relationship with Professor Freese. If I send you to him, you should be able to regain your freedom soon."
Bruce had no choice but to follow the White Knight's arrangements, and the White Knight drove him to the Gotham Police Station.
And guess what, when the door opened, it was Schiller again.
Gordon was obviously surprised to see Bruce frozen, but he soon discovered that the person in the ice sculpture seemed different from the Bruce Wayne he knew.
"It's very complicated and there's no way to explain it. Let's let Professor Freese open it first."
The Pale Knight thought Gordon would make a phone call, but unexpectedly another person came out of the house, it was Victor Freese.
"So you are the thief?" Victor said in disbelief. "Is there anything in the world that you need to steal, Mr. Wayne? And you were caught?"
Schiller nudged Victor with his elbow and said, "That's not the point. What matters is how much he's willing to pay for your thawing technology."
Victor raised his eyebrows, coughed twice and said, "I'm not the kind of person who values money very much..."
"Five hundred thousand," Bruce said. "I'll sign the check once it's unfrozen."
The Pale Knight looked at him and asked, "Where did you get so much money?", and Bruce replied with his eyes, "This is Bruce Wayne's money."
The Pale Knight looked disapproving and was about to speak to dissuade him when he heard Schiller say to Victor: "It would be great if you had this money. You wouldn't have to sell the Frozen Cannon."
The Pale Knight's eyes widened immediately and he looked at Victor. Victor nodded and said, "Yeah, it's not easy to send this thing to the auction house. I don't know how Maria transported it to such a remote mountain valley."
"What did you say? You want to sell the Ice Cannon?!" The Pale Knight raised his voice in disbelief and said, "That is a terrifying weapon that can freeze the entire Gotham!!!"
"Yes, but all the patents for this thing are in the hands of Professor Freese." Schiller nodded and said, "He has a complete technological monopoly and he has the right to sell it."
"Is this a matter of power or not?!" The Pale Knight looked at Schiller with wide eyes and said, "Such a dangerous weapon cannot fall into private hands!!"
"Oh, so that's how it is." Schiller nodded and said, "Who has the private order to activate the cannon now?"
The Pale Knight froze, then slowly turned to look at Bruce.
"Why are you looking at me? I changed the secret order in order to snatch this thing from Maria. It's better in my hands than in Maria's, right?! What reason do I have to freeze Gotham?"
"You have no reason to freeze Gotham, but I have reason to keep you frozen." Schiller smiled and said, "If you can't get out, then the cannon will never be unsealed, and no one else can change the secret order. The dangerous weapon will be sealed forever. This is really a blessing for the people of Gotham."
After a moment of silence, the Pale Knight finally reacted. Yes, since this thing is not safe in anyone's hands, putting it in the hands of an ice cube that has no ability to move can at least ensure that Gotham will not be suddenly frozen.
He looked at Bruce with a slightly apologetic look.
"What's that look on your face?!" Bruce shouted in dissatisfaction, "I told you I won't use the cannon casually! Do you want me to be frozen here forever?"
"Of course not. If you are willing to give Professor Freese some money, he can help you unblock it." Schiller looked at Victor, and Victor nodded.
"No!" The Pale Knight's expression became serious. He said, "As the mayor, I order you not to do this. James, arrange for someone to come here immediately."
Soon, young police officers rushed in. Looking at the black muzzles of the guns in their hands, Victor had to spread his hands to show that he was powerless.
"That's a bit unreasonable, Mr. Mayor." Schiller suddenly said, "Professor Freese could have made $50 from this deal. Even if you're the mayor, you can't compete with the people for profits, right?"
The Pale Knight showed an embarrassment. At this time, Victor said, "Don't be like this, Professor Rodriguez. I know the mayor has good intentions. He is worried that this dangerous weapon will be used without restraint. I completely understand him."
The Pale Knight showed a grateful look.
"But I'm a little envious of you." Victor changed the subject, glanced at the police officers in the room, and then said, "You can mobilize so many police officers to protect the safety of you and your property."
"I'm not so lucky. Yesterday, terrible kidnappers broke into my laboratory and destroyed many of my precious research results. I was also kidnapped and almost died..."
"Originally, I wanted to hire more people to protect my laboratory after I got the money. This would prevent bad guys like Maria from invading here and using my technology to create dangerous weapons. But if that's not possible, I can only bear it."
Upon hearing this, the Pale Knight's expression became more serious. He turned to look at Gordon and said, "What's going on? How could Professor Freese be kidnapped? With his academic level, if he is threatened, wouldn't he create more destructive weapons?"
Then he turned to Victor and said, "I'm sorry, professor, I'm not saying that you are an accomplice. I know you had no choice. Knowledge is always innocent. The guilty ones are those criminals who abuse knowledge to do evil!"
"Sorry, our regular police force is not enough..." Gordon looked embarrassed.
"Don't we have GTO?" The Pale Knight said, "Since Professor Freese can develop such a powerful weapon as the Ice Cannon, there must be more dangerous items in his laboratory. If they are taken away by the kidnappers, wouldn't it endanger civilians again? I think this kind of incident is enough to warrant the dispatch of a special anti-terrorist team!"
Gordon was even more helpless. He said, "The police department is communicating with many investors about GTO investment. Maybe soon this team will not be led by us anymore."
"That won't do. Go tell those investors now that they must include a clause in the contract that even if they obtain the authority to mobilize the team, they must protect Professor Freese's cryogenic laboratory. If anyone disagrees, they don't have to invest!"
Schiller gave Victor a look, and as soon as the Pale Knight turned around, Victor gave Schiller a thumbs up.
Bruce: Is there anyone who cares about me?
