Chapter 3517 Research on Cats and Dogs (Sixty-five)
Victor looked at the little girl eating snacks while sitting on the sofa in Schiller's office.
"Where did you get it?!"
That's right, this little girl is not Aisha. Aisha is sitting on the carpet next to her, unpacking the latest building block toys.
"What are you nervous about? It's not for you." Schiller was typing on the computer keyboard to reply to the email. A day passed, and he accumulated a lot of emails from students.
"but……"
"How is Billy?" Schiller asked.
"Not very good." Victor said after pausing, "The examination results showed that his bones were indeed affected. If this continues, he may suffer from bone cancer. I contacted Mrs. Shangdu from Gotham Magic Academy and was thinking of a solution."
"You have decided to adopt him?"
"Yes, he is actually a pretty good kid. If it weren't for that damn old Shazan... Forget it, let's not mention it. If he dares to come, I'll blow his head with the ice cone!"
Then, his eyes were on the little girl again and said, "Who are you going to give her this time?"
Schiller shook his head and didn't say anything. He turned off the computer first, then walked over, picked Elsa up from the ground and put it on the sofa.
Elsa twisted, a little unwilling to do so, but she still focused all on the toy in her hand. The other little girl was about the same age and body shape as him, but her eyes were green.
"Okay, Elsa. We have to take Betty to check it out. Take the toys and she probably has to stay there for a while."
Elsa nodded, stuffed the blocks they had just removed back into the box, and then stuffed the snacks they were eating into his small bag, and then carried the bag on his body.
She took the initiative to take Betty and led him out of Schiller's office. Schiller stood at the door and said to Victor: "Betty's mother divorced three months ago. She was unfortunately killed on the way out to relax. The body has not been found yet."
"She witnessed the scene of her mother's death and stayed with the body for several days, and suffered serious psychological trauma. Fortunately, this memory was greatly blurred. She only knows that there is such a thing now, but she can't remember the specific scene."
"Even so, her mental health is a problem. The police contacted all her relatives, but no one was willing to adopt her. And if you go to the welfare home, there is obviously no treatment and recovery conditions there."
"I contacted the local child protection association and they helped me with the formalities. In the name of treatment, I took her here."
"What a terrible disaster." Victor sighed, "Are you planning to adopt her? But I'm afraid the legal aspects..."
"No, there is someone else who wants to adopt her."
Speaking of this, Schiller's cell phone rang. He answered the phone:
"Hey? Mr. Rongz?...You've been there? Yes, I'm on my way to the hospital. If you want to see her, come to Arkham Mental Hospital. Maybe we can also talk about her adoption..."
After hanging up the phone, Victor looked at Schiller and said, "You have indeed chosen the target. Who is this time?"
"Ronn Rongz, Mars Hunter, is also a good policeman. I promised James to find him a good player, but I can't be taken first by the Metropolitan Police."
"With you here, James really needs more good players." Victor couldn't help but sigh.
Leaving the Academic Affairs Building, Schiller found Elsa next to the car in front of the door. She was carrying a pink crossbody bag and was telling Betty about her big pink slide castle.
Betty is a very quiet little girl. It can be seen that she is not like this because of being stimulated, but she is relatively introverted. When Elsa spoke, she just listened quietly and nodded from time to time.
Gotham lacks such children. Most of the children here are so lively that they are too energetic even if they were born in a relatively stable era.
Schiller asked the two of them to get in and drove towards the Arkham Mental Hospital.
Although there are many good hospitals in the city, Schiller is still more familiar with Arkham Mental Hospital. And specialist hospitals can better deal with Betty's situation.
After arriving at the hospital, Schiller did not go straight to his office, but instead went through the process of registering and other examinations like an ordinary patient.
About ten minutes after they arrived, Rong En walked into the hospital gate and saw Schiller waiting in the hall at a glance.
Schiller walked over and shook hands with Ron and said, "Hello, Sheriff. It seems you have a good talk with the Justice League."
Rongen shook his head helplessly and said, "They insisted on holding a welcome party for me. I finally got out of here."
Then he looked down at the little girl next to Schiller. Seeing that she was healthy and conscious, Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
"I did not directly delete Betty's memory, but accelerated her forgetting of that memory according to the law of human forgetting. But I still retained some vague memories to prevent her from becoming confused."
"Yes, I think this is the best way. However, you should still find a professional psychologist. What do you think?"
"Of course." Rongen nodded. He walked towards Betty, but Betty seemed a little afraid of him and took two steps back.
"You're too tall," Schiller said.
I don’t know if Rongen misjudged the human body when he landed on Earth. He transformed into John, a man with a height of nearly two meters and muscles all over his body. He felt very oppressive just by looking at it.
Rongen squatted down carefully and tried to communicate with Betty. Shiller glanced at the watch and said, "The time for inspection is coming soon, this is a registration form. You can take her there, I have to go to the office."
Then he reminded Elsa: "Look at her, call me if there is any situation."
"Don't worry." Elsa nodded and said.
Rong saw that this was Schiller giving him the opportunity to get along with Betty, so he stretched out three fingers very carefully, held Betty's hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to check."
After Schiller returned to his office, the first person to knock on the door was Brand. He walked in with a smile and only saw Schiller's eyes rolling.
"It's published, this is for you." Brand handed over a book. Schiller glanced at it. It turned out to be the book "The Haze of Faraines".
After he took it, he did not look at the previous content and turned it to the end. Sure enough, the part written by Kuang Xiao was deleted, and the final ending was changed to the group destruction.
"I didn't expect that the external gods are so talented in bragging about themselves. Do you still have the right to say that human arrogance?"
"I never said it." Brand said.
"How much royalty did you give Constantine?"
"I just gave him my phone number and that folk remedy, trioctahedral." Brand said with his hands spread out.
"Did you give him the folk remedy of tereohid?" Schiller looked at Brand in surprise and said, "Are you really afraid that he will create a huge mess and let you clean up?"
"I can help him clean up for what he wrote well."
"Then you're waiting to see this thing at Lucifer's house." Schiller took the book farther away speechlessly.
"Not it?" Brand narrowed his eyes.
"Then you haven't understood the power of Constantine. If Lucifer rushes in one day, I won't help you."
Brand came with a smile and left worriedly.
Since moving to the new campus, Arkham Mental Hospital can basically be regarded as the largest and most professional psychiatric hospital on the entire East Coast.
After the climate in Gotham improved, it became the most famous sanitation center. The large beach outside was full of sunbathing people.
Schiller's office is still the same, after all, it has been renovated once before. In just a few years, there is no need to repair it again.
However, with the popularity of electronic equipment, computers, printers and fax machines are also installed here. A TV for displaying information is also installed on the wall outside the door.
Schiller replied to the last few emails using the computer here. He found that Elsa had not contacted him yet, so he logged into the real estate website and started browsing.
It is still in the Great Depression. There are people flying in the air on Diamond Street, the largest financial center in Gotham, and real estate collapses sharply. Schiller no longer wants to see what price his house has fallen to.
But the good news is that the manor in his West End was bought by Harley and turned into a base for the Young Avengers, with a very good price. This gave Schiller a lot of money in his hands.
The Great Depression will end sooner or later, and with the arrival of the millennium, the economy will still usher in a wave of takeoff. It is best to invest at this time.
Schiller's investment tendency is quite conservative, so even if he came from an era later than he is in his previous life, he would not use money to trade stocks. After all, there are differences in both worlds, and the stock trends are different.
Some pure financial products are not very reliable. In this market, it is not as reliable as buying a house wherever you invest money.
Gotham's land prices will sooner or later rise, and will definitely rise to the highest level in the world in the 21st century. Because New York is like this. As a New York night, Gotham must be the same.
Schiller already has a house, and he is very satisfied with all aspects and will not change it in a short period of time. So he plans to buy a shop in the center, preferably two floors above and below. In this way, he can still have a place to stay when he is in the city center.
As for what store to open, Schiller didn't think about it. But it would be a store that is quiet and has no customers, which will not affect his life rhythm of teaching and playing cards from work.
This seems that the best thing is a bookstore. But, looking at the situation of the bookstore opened by Zatanna and Constantine, you will know that it will be sooner or later to starve to death when opening such a store.
While browsing the real estate page, Schiller suddenly discovered a good target. In the center of Gotham City, a two-story building is being auctioned on Toussan Flower Street, sandwiched between the turntable and Diamond Street.
This place was originally a magazine, but it seemed that due to the impact of the Great Depression, it could no longer be opened. So the whole building was sold together. Although the price was high, it was renovated a year ago and the cost-effectiveness was also very good.
The most important thing is that the decoration is very unique in English Tudor style. The sample exhibition hall on the first floor also has a huge grid colored floor-to-ceiling window that is said to be transported from the British manor, which is very eye-catching throughout the street.
One of the photos greatly attracted Schiller's attention. In the sunny afternoon of Gotham, the sun shines through the huge grid windows on the dark oak floor indoors, like a river under the sunset in the eyes of a slightly drunk person, smudged a retro hazy atmosphere inside.
Just as Schiller enlarged the photo to see the details, his cell phone rang. Schiller picked it up and saw that it was Gordon's call.
"A big man named Rongen Rongz came to the police station to ask about his work. Is he the good guy you mentioned before?"
"Yes, he has a lot of experience. He is also very strong and is very suitable for being the captain of the field team. We are ready to hire him. And he also consulted me about buying a house and other things. It seems that he is ready to live for a permanent residence."
