Chapter 2537: Rustling Down (32)

As soon as Schiller went out, he saw the Joker standing under the street lamp. He was wearing an ordinary jacket, standing there a bit crookedly, and his hand seemed to be playing with a lighter.

At this time, a light rain had already begun to fall in the sky. Schiller opened his umbrella and walked over, saying, "You won't get what you want by pestering me now. It wasn't me who provided the plan to that universe's Batman."

"So what I have to care about now is not this matter." The Joker kept flipping the lighter in his hand and said, "Another me found me. He said he hoped to form some kind of team. I think this is boring, but I still want to know why he wants to do this."

"I'm afraid you won't want to know the answer." Schiller said, and added a sentence in his heart, not everyone wants to get involved with shit.

"Then let's talk about the plan." The Joker walked over with a smile and said, "The day after tomorrow, I will plan another bank robbery to make up for the loss caused by your damn plan. How about choosing the bank on the next street?"

"I am actually very curious about one thing." Facing the Joker, Schiller finally restored his language style that was too sharp. He said, "How on earth did you accurately collect so many stupid thieves in Cat Getan? Is this the so-called birds of a feather flock together?"

The Joker laughed, seemingly very satisfied with the joke Schiller made. He said, "I can not only find so many stupid thieves, but also find more. Stupid people always think they are smart, but they are easier to manipulate. I like them very much."

"You want them to be shot or kill each other, and then make the ground full of blood." Schiller sighed, shook his head and said, "Sure enough, I still can't accept this style, but if you are willing to do so, what reason do I have to stop you?"

"If this happens tomorrow, then your housewarming banquet the day after tomorrow will have an extremely explosive topic." The Joker clicked and closed the lighter and said, "You don't even have to do anything, just open the door to welcome guests, and then they will chat for a full few hours about this brutal case that happened not far from their community."

"They will start to worry about the safety of the community, hope that someone can come out to preside over justice, complain about heaven and earth, and then talk about the economic situation that has not been prosperous recently. Then you will be completely liberated from social interaction, just follow along and echo a few words."

The Joker walked to Schiller's front, deliberately leaned his head and leaned in front of Schiller's eyes, saying, "I am very good at making things big. You know my ability, so do you hope I do this?"

The Joker accurately said what Schiller was thinking, "A perfect escape opportunity is more effective than all the trivial things you are doing now, and you actually don't care how many people will die at all. There is no universal morality at all."

"As long as the time of the incident is advanced by one day, all the anxiety you are facing will be solved. Do you want to do this? Professor."

Schiller remained silent. The Joker continued, "Actually, you can do it yourself. You know that as long as you commit a big case within the community, it is worth you buying a ton of decorations. If you want to talk about it for a whole day."

"You have this ability, and you also said that there are not no geniuses among ordinary people. You can also be an ordinary person with talent. Since this is the case, do you still choose the stupid way? Then what is the difference between you and those stupid thieves?"

The Joker dodged Schiller's umbrella with a flexible retreat. He could see that Schiller didn't really want to hit him, just wanted him to stay away.

"I said, I just can't accept your way of committing crimes." Schiller pursed his lips and said, "It's too ugly."

"Really?" The Joker began to become a bit dissatisfied. He said, "Don't you think it's interesting to watch that group of people kill each other for those useless pieces of paper?"

"But it's too noisy." Schiller showed a clearly disgusted expression. He said, "At least it will be noisy for three days. When moving, the police will shout back and forth with big horns. If someone dies, the ambulance will pull the siren several times, and reporters with microphones will also swarm."

"They will not only interview the bank's employees, but also interview nearby residents. If the security guard doesn't let them in, you will see them shouting at the community gate, saying that the government intends to hide the truth."

"People will feel unlucky because people died in the bank, and will take a detour to a bank further away. Then they will all choose to drive, the community gate will be blocked, and everyone will complain and argue..."

Schiller felt more and more wrong as he spoke. He said, "Neighborhood relations will deteriorate rapidly. In order to retaliate against neighbors, people will start to stop taking care of the lawn in front of their doors, park randomly, and then the community value will drop rapidly... wait, you can't do this!"

"Why?"

"Because this will cause house prices to fall."

"What????"

"I mean, this will affect the value of our community, making the house I just bought fall in price." Schiller emphasized, "The chaos you cause will make my house depreciate."

The Joker stared wide-eyed, looking at Schiller in disbelief. He almost rushed over, and then was blocked by Schiller's umbrella.

"Didn't you say you don't like my way of committing crimes? If you don't like the noise, then shouldn't you talk about what your ideal quiet way of committing crimes is?"

Actually, Schiller was also thinking about this point. According to the development of the topic just now, after Schiller finished talking about the chaotic consequences that the Joker's way of committing crimes might bring, he should talk about the art form he advocated.

But the problem is that the chaotic consequences brought by the Joker's way of committing crimes are too serious. He bought the house only a few days ago, and now it is going to depreciate?

Indeed, he bought the house at a price much lower than the market price, but because of this, maybe he earned 500,000 dollars by buying it at this price, but if house prices fall, wouldn't he become earning 400,000 dollars? Wouldn't that be equivalent to losing 100,000 in three days?

Comparing that to the academic reward of only 1000-plus dollars for writing a paper, wouldn't this 100,000 be equivalent to more than 100 papers? God knows how much hair he will lose to write these papers or guide the graduate and doctoral students under him to write so many papers.

"You can't do this." Schiller emphasized again, "If you dare to make trouble at a nearby bank, I will give that universe's Batman a more terrible plan."

"You just said that wasn't you!"

"Yes, so it's a more terrible plan." Schiller said, "You won't want to know what this universe's Batman did."

The Joker narrowed his eyes.

"I think you can look at the recent entertainment news." Schiller continued, "Especially that part of the talk show, there is a big star there."

"No, I don't care about them, I just want to say..."

"If you still don't understand what consequences your actions will cause, I can calculate an account for you, but I need to go back and get my purchase contract, you just wait here and don't..."

The Joker turned and left.

While walking, he was cursing in a nervous breakdown. Who on earth wants to hear about purchase contracts and house price depreciation? Is he here to listen to this?

The Joker didn't care about Schiller behind him. He walked angrily into a small alley, leaning against the wall, and some broken words were spit out from his mouth nervously.

"This damn monster... monster in human skin... vulgar and stinky, boring, uninteresting..."

It has been like this since they first met. The Joker just wanted to peel off Schiller's human skin, and his purpose tonight was the same.

Schiller said he wanted to be an ordinary person. Ordinary people have many troubles. It is also very simple to figure out the specific trouble items. The Joker followed Schiller to the night market all the way, seeing him buy so many strange decorations, and his body and expression showed that he was anxious, which meant he encountered certain problems.

Later, the Joker attacked the postman, found the letter Schiller sent to others asking for allergen information from the postman's bag, and knew he wanted to hold a party. Then why he bought so many strange things and was anxious became obvious.

Topics, something that is common but valuable for ordinary people, for this group of social creatures who can only live by relying on others and tremble when they are alone, having no common topics with companions is simply hell.

And if the host of a social activity fails to find enough common topics for the guests, making the whole party cold, that is simply a social disaster.

Schiller is destined not to be good at this, because he just put on a layer of human skin, and it is not that he really sinks into worrying about heaven and earth like that group of vulgar and boring ordinary people every day, and can develop countless communication topics from this.

The Joker knows very well that the thinking mode of their kind is extremely efficient, so they almost never speak without thinking, which also leads to them having no redundant thinking, and naturally they will not talk nonsense.

But social interaction requires nonsense. Worrying is useless, and being useless is also worrying. This is the daily life of ordinary people. If everything is under control, it is destined to raise a mute, such as Batman.

The Joker thinks that the measures Schiller took, such as preparing food and buying all kinds of strange decorations, are useless work. Ordinary people spend very little time on this kind of communication, and their interests come and go without a trace.

The only thing that can make them produce a lot of communication is fear.

So the Joker prepared a gift for Schiller to celebrate his housewarming party—a bloody big case that could cause panic among the lambs.

Once they feel fear, they will talk endlessly with their companions. In this way, even if the host of the banquet does nothing, the whole banquet will definitely not be cold, and even they may not want to leave the professor's courtyard because of fear, and finally may push him to be the speaker of the whole community, letting him find a way to ensure their safety.

This will allow Schiller to integrate into this community quickly, almost perfectly achieving his goal of wanting to be an ordinary person. The only price is to sacrifice a few hostages and police.

How can the Joker's gift have no traps? What he sends is always a surprise box. If Schiller chooses to do so, the Joker has a way to uncover a corner of his human skin.

The Joker got the names and addresses of the other party in the letter asking for allergens in the postman's bag. Although it is not all the guests, it is also a large part of the neighbors.

Now the Joker has money. That group of stupid robbers who ran away with Schiller's help finally fell into his hands and brought him considerable income.

Tonight or tomorrow, these neighbors who have received letters will get a windfall. Everyone is not well-off in this era, and no one will refuse pie from the sky. It's just that this pie is cash, so you have to go to the bank to save it, right?

Because the crime rate is too high, Gothamites don't have the habit of storing cash at home. Putting too much money at home is long and night-dreaming. They will definitely go to the bank as soon as possible.

In the morning, the bank will have a power outage, and they will be told that they can't save money, so they can only go in the afternoon. Unfortunately, the brutal robbers will kidnap the guests of the bank in order to negotiate with the police in the afternoon and kill them cruelly.

The Joker believes that the shrewd sheriff or Batman will soon find that the victims have a common feature. They almost received Schiller's letter at the same time.

This is not any conclusive evidence. The letter of holding a housewarming party and asking for allergens has nothing to do with the action of going to the bank to save money, so it is impossible to convict based on this.

But reporters don't care about these. They only care about whether there is enough news with gimmicks. As long as they use a little trick, other residents of the community will soon realize this common feature.

The Joker is to burn a hole in Schiller's perfect human skin. As long as there is this hole, someone will always find out what kind of monster lives under the human skin.
