Chapter 2757 Star Core Rescue (Forty-three)
Chapter 2757 Star Core Rescue (Forty-three)
The next day, Schiller got up early again. After guessing the mastermind, he no longer had any interest in solving any mystery, because he knew that if the mastermind was really who he thought, he would not be able to make any waves here, and he could not even show up.
In fact, it was unreasonable for him to exist in this universe. Schiller thought that he might have taken some special measures to deceive some detection systems, but it was not important.
Because he did not create any art works in places where he could appear openly, and it was even worse to come here secretly. He might as well go to see Lisa more with this time.
Schiller decided to stay in Texas for a while, on the one hand to watch Lisa and the Oakes, and on the other hand, if the nightmare really targeted Lisa, he should be able to easily catch this guy by squatting there.
Schiller and Ultron were packing their luggage. Ultron suddenly remembered something while helping Schiller sort out his clothes, and then asked, "By the way, doctor, what was that videotape you brought back last night? Is there a new season of that wedding documentary?"
Schiller then remembered that he brought back the sample last night. He shook his head and said, "No, it's not, it's a movie."
"Movie? Mr. Bullock is making a new movie again? Do you need my help to get good reviews?"
Schiller rolled his eyes slightly and said, "Is all you know how to get good reviews? Look at Venom, he has graduated with honors in journalism."
"But robots are not allowed to create art." Ultron shrugged and said, "All our information comes from the Internet. In the process of learning, we borrow too many copyrighted materials, so the artworks we produce are likely to infringe copyright."
"I know you are not the kind of artificial intelligence that can only do low-level stitching." Schiller put the book and the patient's book on the table. He put the calendar into his bag and said, "Besides, suturing is the essence of journalism."
"Don't think about it, doctor, I won't slander anyone." Ultron turned around to pack his toiletries and said, "Especially not Mr. Block, I like the documentaries he directed."
Schiller sighed and said, "You have also been led astray by them."
"I think you should also reflect on your own reasons, doctor. If you don't have the qualities that are worth being popular, then you won't be popular. In the final analysis, it's because you are too special."
"Today is another day when ordinary people fail." Schiller smiled and said, "I should let mediocrity come out."
"Then whether you are popular or not is not the biggest problem." Ultron seemed to have thought of something, shook his head vigorously and said, "I don't think it's that difficult to be a big star, what do you think?"
At this time, Schiller had finished packing upstairs and went downstairs. He had to go and get the videotape. He paused slightly as soon as he went downstairs.
Was the videotape placed on the table like this yesterday?
Schiller thought about it, but he didn't really think about it carefully. It was just his bad taste, and it wouldn't really cause any harm. At most, it was disgusting, and it wasn't worth spending so much energy to prevent it.
Schiller took the videotape and put it in the bag of books upstairs. At this time, the suitcase had been packed. Ultron went downstairs to put the body up, and Schiller called the shuttle.
When landing in Texas, it was sunny here, but dark clouds gathered in the distance, and it looked like it was going to rain. This time, the one who came to pick Schiller up was Lisa's father, a typical Texas farmer, who was usually helpful but occasionally had a bad temper.
Schiller learned from him that Lisa's situation had improved a lot. She was now devoted to the child who might be born, and had even begun to choose a foal for her future child.
Oaks' condition improved slightly, but he recovered much slower than Lisa. Lisa's family liked this honest, hardworking and capable son-in-law very much, so Lisa's family, including several pet dogs and several pet cats, had been accompanying Oaks. His physical condition improved a lot, but his spirit was still very depressed.
When he saw Oaks again, Schiller found that he was much fatter than when he was on the space station, and basically recovered his previous body shape, but his expression was still a little stiff and numb.
Schiller came this time to give him a thorough treatment. Some things, especially those in his professional field, must have a result. Even if there is a pile of stinky dog shit behind it, he at least has to know how these ordinary people got involved in shit.
However, he does not have the ability to read memories directly like Charles, so he has to use traditional methods to hypnotize Oaks again. As long as he can grasp a little clue, Schiller can infer the ins and outs of the matter.
After putting down the luggage, having a good meal with Lisa's family, visiting the farm, and looking at the foal that Lisa prepared for her future child, Schiller and Oaks came to his room.
With Oaks' cooperation, the hypnosis process went very smoothly. Schiller walked into the depths of his memory step by step, and found a little problem as expected.
Everyone working on the Star Core Space Station has a standard communication device. Oaks often uses this communication device to call Lisa. Jara also explained before that he was instructed by Baker to put something that could spray poison on this communication device.
Schiller initially guessed that this was a prerequisite for hypnosis. It was said before that hypnosis must be combined with drugs if the other party does not cooperate, otherwise the other party will easily wake up. After that, Oaks's various performances also confirmed that he might be taking drugs, and the problem lies in this poison.
But combined with the known facts, one doubt arises, that is, there is no one who can hypnotize Oaks.
Neither Sophia nor Baker could do such a professional job, and there was no mention in various surveillance and witness reports that Oaks had contact with other psychiatrists.
After most of the components of the space station were salvaged, the black box gradually came into play, and Oakes' life trajectory was clearly understood. And hypnosis is not something that can be completed in a few seconds. It takes at least more than an hour. This kind of long-term hypnosis Basically, it needs to be consolidated every few days, but Oakes has never been missing for such a long time.
Baker's gang must have had a certain influence on Oakes and used Oakes to achieve their goals. However, they were either the real murderers or because the most important link in the evidence chain was missing. They did not have a professional psychiatrist.
Schiller did not find any traces of hypnosis during the investigation of Oakes' memory. So far, the only one who can modify other people's memories without Schiller discovering it is probably the elderly Professor X, but he did not do this. Motive, based on Schiller's understanding of Professor X, he would not do such a thing to ordinary people.
Then Schiller had to make a conjecture, that is, Oakes's spiritual world had indeed been touched, but not by hypnosis, but by another method that is still unknown so far.
In the same way, Robbins who has not been caught yet, Sandman who suddenly collapsed emotionally and lost control, Sophia who suddenly appeared and Mysterio who was influenced by her, are most likely affected by this method.
But it has to be said that this method is very clever and deeply hidden. At least Schiller did not find any abnormalities in Oaks's spiritual world.
Of course, it was not that Schiller had never suspected Nightmare, but Nightmare had been to Lisa's spiritual world last time. After checking Lisa, Schiller found that Nightmare could not leave any trace, and last time Natasha said that the detective Traces of magical activity have been detected, which means that the method used by the nightmare is actually a kind of magic, which makes it impossible to walk on the snow without leaving a trace.
Schiller vaguely guessed something. Investigative techniques were not the top priority now. He had to find a way to cure Oaks. Otherwise, it would be difficult for the two of them to successfully ignite the soul of the Son of Order, and the nightmare would continue to haunt Lisa.
Schiller tried to use the most basic psychological medicine to treat Oakes' mental problems, but the effect was not significant. This time he came to prescribe medicine for Oaks. He brought some basic psychotropic drugs, which could at least improve Oakes's condition. sleep state.
Oaks took the medicine and fell asleep. Lisa stood at the bottom of the stairs with some worry and looked up. When Schiller walked down, Lisa made a mouth gesture to him, obviously asking him if Oaks was okay.
Schiller shook his head. The process of fighting the disease was destined to be long. It also took almost a year to treat the psychological shadow of Robert Speedball, but he would rather adopt this conservative method than get over it overnight like the young Charles.
Using this kind of ordinary medical treatment is slow at best, but almost no accidents will happen. This is not necessarily the case with other methods. Ordinary people are really too fragile.
When he woke up the next morning, Oakes looked slightly better, apparently having enough sleep to relieve his fatigue.
But over the next few days, treatment progress stalled.
Schiller changed several medicines, but Oakes' stiff and numb state never improved. He also conducted several hypnotherapy treatments, but to no avail.
Logically speaking, the initial treatment effect should be the most obvious. If there is no relief at the beginning of treatment, it means that the disease is quite difficult.
Schiller began to wonder if something was locked into Oakes' condition. He called Professor X again to have him check it out. This time Professor I searched all over, but still found nothing.
Great, thought Schiller, it seems like someone wants to beat me in my area of expertise, but will I let you succeed that easily?
Schiller came upstairs and found Oakes. He said: "Sir, after this incident, I believe that you have a certain understanding of the true nature of this world. Whether you believe it or not, I have someone who can help you." A way to return to normal in an instant, but you have to cooperate with me."
Oaks nodded and said, "No matter what you want to do, I will cooperate with you. Lisa has been looking forward to this child for too long, and I don't want the problem to be on me."
"Okay, sir, please lie down on the bed."
Oaks did as he was told. He closed his eyes, thinking it was another normal hypnosis. Soon he felt a touch of cold stuff on his neck. He was a little confused, but still didn't move. He obviously believed it. This psychiatrist.
The next second, the cold blade cut open the trachea, and Oaks suffocated instantly. After dozens of seconds, what lay on the bed turned into a cold corpse.
Schiller put away the scalpel in his hand with a normal expression.
