Chapter 3459: Research on Cats and Dogs (18)

The office door was knocked on. Schiller looked up from the computer and found it was Barry poking his head in.

"Professor, I want to ask for a few days off. But I couldn't find Professor Hall, could I trouble you to tell him for me?"

"Are you planning to go to Metropolis?" Schiller seemed to have anticipated it. He put the document in his hand aside and said, "Your basic criminal investigation course is still two classes short of meeting the usual score. Are you planning to take it in advance or take it when you come back?"

"Let's talk about it when I come back." Barry walked into the classroom and then said, "If I go to listen to classes in other grades now, it might be a bit too late."

"So urgent? Is the battle situation over there already very intense?"

"That's not it. It's just that I really don't want to go to football team training anymore." Barry sighed and said, "Deliberately running so slowly is a kind of torture for me. Compared to training, I'd rather go fight aliens."

Schiller nodded and said: "Then you go, I will tell Professor Hall. Are you running over directly or driving?"

"Pamela and the others are going too, they will give me a ride."

"She's going too? The paper she said she was going to publish last week still hasn't been finished. Victor has been chasing her for several days."

"I'm not clear about that." Barry shook his head and said, "I guess she might not have any ideas either."

"She just said her new batch of plants was cultivated very smoothly. How come she has no ideas again?"

"I'm not clear about the specific details, but I heard that the new batch of plants cultivated again made the lab a mess."

Schiller sighed and then said: "Then let her go to Metropolis. Our principal can no longer accept higher loss bills."

Just as they were chatting, the office door was knocked on again. Barry went to open the door and found a tall blonde girl standing outside.

"Hello, I'm Kara Danvers from the Journalism Department. Is Professor Schiller in? I'm here to have him revise a news draft."

Barry hurriedly let her in and at the same time walked over to pull out a chair for her. Kara smiled at him and said: "Thank you."

"Uh, no need." Barry scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

Schiller sat opposite Kara, took the news draft from her hand, and while reading it, said to Barry: "Go prepare well after going to Metropolis, don't get distracted. If you must fight, control your strength, don't make too big of a scene."

"Rest assured, Professor. I will." Barry nodded and said, "Oliver shouldn't agree to me fighting head-on. It's estimated it's just running errands or something. The main attacker this time is definitely Clark. They Kryptonians have to solve their own affairs."

Hearing a familiar word, Kara's heart moved, but she was also somewhat suspicious, wondering if she had misheard. How could her university professor and classmate know about Krypton?

Kara clearly wasn't the kind of hesitant person. She leaned her head forward somewhat curiously and then said: "You guys just seemed to mention, uh, Krypton?"

Barry didn't mind her knowing either. Since Schiller had taken the initiative to mention the Metropolis matter, it proved that this matter didn't need to be kept secret from this girl. So he nodded and said:

"Metropolis seems to have confirmed that there is a Kryptonian spaceship hovering at the edge of the solar system. The person controlling the spaceship isn't friendly to Earth; they might want to invade Metropolis. Now the superheroes over there are urgently looking for helpers, and I'm going over too..."

"Kryptonian spaceship? How is this possible, Krypton was destroyed a long time ago..."

After Kara finished speaking, she realized she had let something slip. She opened her mouth, but still didn't say her true identity, but just said: "You said you were going to help, then you are also a superhero?"

Barry glanced at Schiller, found Schiller had no reaction, so he nodded and said: "Yes, you should have seen me on TV, I am the Flash."

"My God, you are the Flash?!" Kara was a bit shocked now. She moved a bit further away, looked Barry up and down, and discovered that from the perspective of physical condition, he really looked like the Flash.

"Right, I have indeed seen you. You stopped several malignant traffic accidents, simply too amazing."

Hearing Kara's sincere praise, Barry also felt somewhat embarrassed. But he still smiled and said: "That was just a small effort, not that amazing. But it looks like you also know about Krypton?"

"Oh, yes, I've heard of it." Kara found a somewhat lame excuse. She said, "If I also have superpowers, can I go over to help?"

"You want to go to Metropolis?" Barry said somewhat curiously, "But now isn't a good time..."

"I know it might be very dangerous, but I think I can also contribute." Kara hurriedly said, "And I'm quite capable, I won't hold you guys back."

"No, I mean it's almost the end of the term. Are your credits full? If they aren't full, graduation might be a bit difficult."

Kara let out a sigh of relief and said: "I'm in the cheerleading troupe, I have 4 credits every semester. If I can win a prize, I can add another two credits. It's definitely enough."

"Fine." Barry nodded and said, "We don't plan to take the portal, but plan to drive to Metropolis directly. We prepared two cars. Gather at the 2nd gate at 3 PM today. If you want to come, wait for us under the sculpture at the 2nd gate plaza."

Kara hurriedly nodded and said: "I will definitely be on time."

Barry left to pack his luggage. Schiller looked at the news draft written by Kara, and could only say that it was no wonder she could become the news assistant to the world-famous female devil in the future. The level of the draft was quite good, already on par with Clark, who had worked for many years.

He returned the draft to Kara and then said: "I think there's no problem. Are you planning to publish it in the Cat Getan newspaper?"

"Yes, Professor. Because this way it can add color to my resume, but if you don't agree, I won't publish it."

"You can publish it, but it's best to take it to Metropolis to publish."

"Why?"

"There are too few newspapers in Cat Getan willing to publish my interviews." Schiller said, "Several big newspapers shouldn't take your draft. If you find a small newspaper, it won't be of much help to your resume either."

Kara was clearly somewhat confused, but didn't get to the bottom of it, nodded and said: "Fine, I will go to Metropolis to look for it."

"Will you delay your training if you go to Metropolis?" Schiller asked.

"Might delay for a few days." Kara said, "But my level is enough to win the gold prize. Delaying for a few days is nothing. But I'm a bit worried that my teammates will be a bit slack. Can you help me tell the coach to tighten up the physical training again?"

Schiller smiled and said: "Perhaps your requirements are too high, Miss. You can't require everyone to possess the physique of a Kryptonian."

Kara was stunned for a moment, her fingers gripping the file tightened. She just wanted to say something, but Schiller shook his head and said: "Don't be nervous. You aren't the only Kryptonian on Earth. I know another one, he is also your peer."

"Who is he?" Kara was a bit curious, but not eager. Because she didn't have any sense of belonging to Krypton either, still preferring to be an ordinary Earthling.

"Clark Kent. You should have heard his name."

"My God." Kara let out an exclamation and said, "You mean that famous reporter Kent? I've seen his report on the Cat Getan Music Festival, it was written very well. He is actually a Kryptonian?!"

"Yes. And I heard his name on Krypton is Kal-El. Maybe you two are even relatives."

This time Kara was really surprised. She stood up and said: "You mean his surname is El? Really? Is it El?!"

"Seems to be this pronunciation."

Kara opened her mouth halfway, gripping the file in her hand tightly. A fellow from the same planet and a real relative were still different. She said in a low voice: "Then he really is my relative, could it be that my brother also came? No, that's not right. He should be my younger brother..."

"Sorry, Professor." Kara hurriedly apologized to Schiller and then said, "I might have to go back to pack my things. Let's talk next time."

After saying that, she ran out like her butt was on fire.

Schiller looked at her back and shook his head helplessly. Revealing his Kryptonian identity to Clark at this time might not be a good thing, especially since Kara's whereabouts during the time she was stranded in the Phantom Zone were unknown, which was suspicious enough.

The Justice League of this universe wasn't a league of good guys. They had time and ability to investigate things that other universes' Justice Leagues didn't have time to care about, could be nitpicky about details, and nip all dangers in the bud.

Schiller continued browsing emails, and then his office door was knocked on again. The person who pushed the door in was an acquaintance. Jonathan Crane walked in swaying.

"Long time no see, Professor Rodriguez!" He raised his tone and said.

Schiller didn't even look at him, continuing to mark the emails he had read as read, and then unzipping the attachments in more emails to view them.

Jonathan didn't treat himself as an outsider either, sat down opposite Schiller, and then said: "To celebrate my return to Cat Getan University, I prepared a banquet. I wonder if Professor Rodriguez has time to grace it with his presence?"

"Did you finally decide to take out your signature skill and poison me?"

"You really misunderstand me too much." Jonathan said.

"Yes, because you might be planning to poison all the professors."

"Stop joking. Blame that piece of dog shit James Gordon, I now have 170 years of property tax to pay! The salary of a university professor is still quite considerable. Now no one hopes for Cat Getan University to flourish more than I do."

"Is your lab confirmed?" Schiller glanced at him and asked.

"Just confirmed, I picked the one at the very north of the third floor of the experimental building."

"Got it, I will walk around it next time I go to the experimental building."

Jonathan rolled his eyes and said: "I'm serious. Are you coming to the dinner tonight?"

Schiller looked at the number of unread emails, calculated the time, and then said: "If there are no accidents, I can."

"Who else did you invite?"

"Most of the professors, especially the old professors."

"You really were planning to poison them."

"Heh, who told them not to help me speak a word when I was fired? But rest assured, it definitely won't kill anyone. At most, they'll have nightmares for two days..."

Schiller picked up the phone on the side, and Jonathan hurriedly asked: "What are you doing? Tipping them off?"

"Nothing, one of my students is looking for me for something." Schiller looked at the message sent by Bruce and then stood up and said, "You'd better send a list of the dishes you added ingredients to to Victor. If he also has nightmares, he will definitely freeze you in the plaza to show the public."

After saying that, he walked out of the office. He sat down on a chair in the lounge, closed his eyes to take a nap, and returned to the tower.

Following the elevator all the way down, passing through the corridor on the 11th floor, he came to a door and knocked.

"Charles, are you there? There's something I'd like to ask for your help with."
