Chapter 955: Shiler's Bad Luck (Part I)

~11 min read 2,187 words

Shiler stood at the door and was stunned for a full two minutes, then he turned back, rubbed his eyes, and turned back again, seeing the broccoli all over the sky outside. He took a deep breath and said in his heart:

"Gray Fog! Gray Fog! Did you steal the wine again? Didn't I tell you? Don't drink too much madness wine, otherwise it will cause me to have hallucinations!"

"Well... judging from the information transmitted from your optic nerve, I'm afraid those things you just saw are not hallucinations." Gray Fog said somewhat hesitantly.

Shiler swallowed his saliva first, took a slight step back, and said to Gray Fog in his heart: "You mean, these broccolis appeared in the real world... are you sure??!!!"

"Yes, I'm sure. Symbiotes and humans observe the world in different ways. We don't observe the world through any specific organ."

"However, according to the information analysis just transmitted back by the symbiote factor, at present, there are more than 1400 broccolis in front of you, and the smallest individual is about 14 times the volume of the broccoli eaten by humans..."

Shiler took another step back.

He opened his umbrella with a "bang," then covered his forehead with his hand, lowered his head, and muttered to himself: "My God, what is going on? Is the world going to be destroyed? Is Cat Getan going to be destroyed?!!!"

Just then, Pamela and Catwoman, who had just gone to change clothes, walked down from the stairs of the laboratory building. Seeing Shiler still waiting at the door, Catwoman walked up somewhat puzzled and said: "Professor Shiler, why are you still here? Oh, I know, the car must be broken, it doesn't matter, I can find you one, I believe the owner of the car won't mind..."

Seeing them walk down, Shiler was like seeing a life-saving straw. He stood one step to the side, left a position for Catwoman, then pointed at the door with slightly trembling fingertips and said: "You guys help me see, am I having hallucinations? What are those green unidentified objects in groups outside?!"

"Green unidentified objects?" Catwoman frowned, leaned out to look at the door, and then said in surprise: "God, why are there so many broccolis outside? It seems like, the original vines have all turned into broccoli?"

She stood at the door and observed carefully for a while, then said: "However, it seems that this is a good thing. The volume of broccoli is much larger than vines. Originally, these vines could only entangle the feet of those crazy people. This should be able to jam them so they can't move."

Shiler stood where he was and fell into a daze. At this time, he returned to the top floor of the Mind Tower and said somewhat frantically: "Hurry, hurry, hurry!! Come here!!! Come here and take the shift!!! My allergy is acting up, you guys don't surface again, I'm going to faint!!!"

"Superego? Superego?" Are you there? Shiler looked up and shouted at the air: "Hurry up! Find a substitute! I can't work this shift for even a minute!!!"

"No substitute." The Superego's cold and ruthless voice came: "The only stable personalities that can surface to the surface consciousness are you and that other guy. If you want to find a substitute, go find him."

With a "ding-dong," the elevator door opened. Marvel Shiler walked out of the elevator, looked at DC Shiler with his fists clenched, and then said: "Your allergy is acting up, right? Hey, buddy, such a state is not suitable for work. I'll go up and replace you now. Don't worry, I definitely won't cause any trouble..."

DC Shiler stood where he was and struggled for less than a second, then walked toward the elevator with a resolute posture.

Standing in the center of the elevator, before the elevator door closed, he pointed at Marvel Shiler with his umbrella and said: "Compared to enduring the work of calculating accounts day and night that you found for me, I would rather endure the side effects of broccoli allergy!"

Accompanied by a faint electric current sound, the elevator door closed. After DC Shiler left, Marvel Shiler shrugged and said: "This can't blame me."

DC Shiler surfaced again. He turned into gray fog and came to the roof of the laboratory building. This kind of building was not too high, but it could barely see the situation in the entire Cat Getan University.

Just as he saw when he stood at the door, broccoli submerged the entire city. However, just as Catwoman said, to some extent, this was a good thing, because the overly dense broccoli trapped those crazy patients without reason, so they wouldn't go to infect others.

Of course, some people who hadn't been infected were also buried in the broccoli, but because their reason still existed, they could struggle and call for help, and would soon be rescued.

And those people who had already been infected, their sharp claws, although they could tear human skin, were still not enough for the stems of plants.

They could tear the epidermis of the broccoli stems, but couldn't cut off the whole broccoli like an axe, so they could only wave their limbs helplessly and be caught between one huge broccoli after another.

These broccolis that invaded Cat Getan were not the kind usually placed on the dining table. First of all, they were much larger than ordinary broccoli. According to Shiler's visual estimation, the largest broccoli was about tens of meters high, and the smallest was at least half a meter.

Moreover, every broccoli grew very completely, the dark spherical structure in the upper part was very full, so that every one was like a mushroom cloud, and between the size and height, there was even a strange beauty.

On Cat Getan's skyline, one dark green broccoli after another, mixed between the steel jungle, seemed to be food often eaten by people, finally awakening an unyielding will, collectively taking revenge on humans.

However, the actual effect achieved did not take revenge on humans, because in fact, broccoli does not contain common allergens in nature.

At the same time, it does not have the unique fragrance of cilantro or celery. Most people's dislike of broccoli is just not liking its taste and texture, and it does not reach the level of physiological allergy.

Many people know that physiological allergy will have many very serious symptoms, including skin itching, difficulty breathing, and even shock. Severe allergic reactions may lead to death.

However, Shiler is not physiologically allergic to broccoli, so he will not have the above serious reactions, and even if he does, Gray Fog can forcibly reverse this reaction. His allergy to broccoli is psychological allergy, which is just a bit serious.

"Gray Fog, take me back to the manor quickly, I want to pack my luggage, Cat Getan can't stay, I want to go to Metropolis... ah, no, no, the whole East Coast is... forget it, I want to go to Los Angeles... perhaps, the whole United States is also..." Shiler said panting.

Speaking of this, Shiler suddenly froze, he muttered to himself: "If Cat Getan, a coastal city, is invaded by broccoli, wouldn't there be many broccoli seeds entering the Pacific Ocean along Cat Getan's drainage system??!!!"

"God, I'm afraid the whole earth can't stay!"

"Gray Fog, take me back to the manor quickly, I want to go ask Merkel if the Soviet Union has any moon landing plans recently..."

Shiler turned into a cloud of fog, swaying and drifting back to the Rodriguez Manor. Shiler, whose consciousness was somewhat unclear, landed directly in front of the manor gate and walked toward the manor building.

The good news is that the interior of the manor was not invaded, the reception room and stairs were as usual, Shiler didn't even notice that his butler Merkel was missing. He ran up the stairs almost in a panic, and then started packing his luggage.

While putting the clothes he often wore into the suitcase, he scolded: "Don't let me know who did it..."

After speaking, he continued to pack his luggage while his head was dizzy and speculated: "Only the Green of All has the ability to turn all plants into broccoli. But we just reached a deal, and the deal conditions are beneficial to both sides. He doesn't need to do this..."

"Besides, he doesn't know that I am allergic to broccoli, and the one who knows this..." Shiler thought of the three people he saw in the memory space in his room. He folded his clothes and stuffed them into the box, snorted coldly and said: "Sure enough, it's the three of them..."

"Setting aside that magician who looks like Zatanna, only Batman and Constantine are left."

"Batman? Didn't I just hold back his graduation thesis for a few months? Didn't I just throw him into a chemical dye vat? Is he that petty?"

"Constantine? This damn rotten person! Didn't I just knock him a few times with an umbrella? Didn't I just use the Soul of the Curse to throw a black pot at him? He doesn't know how to be tolerant?"

"Despicable, dirty, taking advantage of people's danger..."

Just as Shiler turned back to the closet to organize his suit, he suddenly remembered, where is his butler?

Shiler was quite at ease with Merkel's ability. The problem was that there were too many weird situations recently. So, he stopped his movements, put the clothes aside, and looked out the door.

There was no figure of Merkel in the corridor. This was actually very strange. As a butler, he should have greeted him when Shiler entered the door. Even if he was busy at the time, he would definitely appear a few minutes later to ask about the employer's needs. But from the time Shiler entered the room to pack his luggage, it had been more than ten minutes, and Merkel had not appeared at all.

Shiler turned his head and looked at the closet and suitcase that were somewhat messy due to his angry movements. He sighed and decided to find a professional to do this.

Shiler went out, walked through the corridor, went down the stairs, and arrived at the reception room. Then, through the floor-to-ceiling glass of the reception room, he saw his butler Merkel holding a huge axe, cutting a tree.

It was not very accurate to say cutting a tree. What he was cutting was the huge broccoli that the original oak tree in the center of the garden had turned into.

Before Shiler returned to the manor, Merkel, who was tidying up the garden, witnessed the whole process of how these plants turned into broccoli. And what he knew more clearly was how much Shiler hated broccoli.

When he discovered this mutation, he almost hurriedly picked up all the tools that could be used to repair plants and started to eradicate the broccoli in the garden to prevent his employer from going crazy due to severe allergic reactions after returning to the manor.

There were not many other flowers and plants alive, plus the devastation of the previous rain shed collapse, most of them were reduced to mud and dust. And the most sturdy one was the oak tree in the middle of the yard, so the broccoli it turned into was also the largest.

Merkel thought, leaving such a large broccoli, Shiler would definitely go crazy when he returned, so he would naturally find a way to cut down this huge broccoli.

Shiler, who was watching Merkel cutting the tree, hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem.

He was now unclear in his consciousness, so he didn't realize that no matter what, broccoli is also herbaceous. The axe used to cut woody trees to deal with the stems of broccoli was a bit like killing a chicken with a butcher's knife.

It just so happened that Merkel's position was just blocked by half of the broccoli trunk. Shiler couldn't see the wound he cut on the broccoli trunk at all.

Shiler stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, wanting to call Merkel back, but suddenly found that a shadow appeared on his head.

The tall broccoli, like an oak tree, was slowly collapsing toward his direction.

At the critical moment, Shiler's flash saved his life. With a loud "bang," the huge broccoli smashed the floor-to-ceiling glass of the reception room and a small half of the building on the west side of the manor.

What was even more terrifying was that the broccoli that smashed into the reception room, the branch closest to Shiler, was less than ten centimeters away from his nose. Man and flower, looking at each other.

So, about five minutes later, Batman saw Shiler, who was weak, pale, and had never seen before, in the hall of the Rodriguez Manor. ===== CHAPTER 956 =====

And so, about five minutes later, in the grand hall of the Rodriguez manor, Batman saw a listless, pale-faced Schiller, the likes of which he had never seen before.
