Chapter 3564: Edge of Tomorrow (Ten)
The car was driving on the highway in Gotham, and melodious and lively jazz music came from the radio speakers. Schiller pressed the button of the radio, and after a short noise, the voice of the news anchor sounded:
"The Diamond Street demonstration is still going on. Currently, more than 18 employees from 2000 companies have participated in the event. The calls for the Justice League to show up and fulfill their responsibilities as superheroes are getting louder and louder, but there is still no news about any members of the Justice League. Please pay attention to our follow-up reports for specific details..."
Schiller frowned slightly and pressed the button again, switching to another channel.
"Recently, a software called 'Super Butler Brainiac' has become popular in major mobile application markets and browsers. Users say that it can help people from all walks of life to complete their work perfectly and is a software masterpiece that transcends the times. Next, let's listen to the opinions of relevant practitioners..."
Schiller pressed the button again. Click.

"Click."
"Brainiac..."
Schiller turned off the radio.
The car stopped in front of a mansion on the left bank of the Gotham River. Schiller looked up and saw traces of the last name erased from the wall. This seemed to be the legacy of the twelve families. With the end of the gangster era, even the name disappeared without a trace.
He walked in, only to find that everyone was already there.
To be honest, even if the Arkham gang in this universe has basically returned to their own homes and no one is engaged in illegal and criminal activities anymore, it is indeed visually impactful to see so many villains gathered together at once.
Mr. Freeze, Penguin, and Two-Face were sitting at the table next to them, flipping through thick legal documents; Killer Croc, Deathstroke, and Poison Ivy were playing billiard around the pool table; Harley Quinn was mixing cocktails; and the Joker was taking a nap on the bar in front.
When Schiller came in, everyone looked at him.
"You're finally here!" Harley put down her shaker and ran out from behind the bar. Schiller looked at her and found that her dressing style was different from usual, more like Harley Quinn.
Although Harley was born in the streets, she didn't stay there for long and soon went to school. Her dressing style is more preppy, most of the time she wears a shirt with a long skirt, a pair of thick-soled Mary Jane shoes, a crossbody bag or a handbag, and occasionally wears glasses, looking like a good girl.
Today she wore a sweatshirt with the Gotham University football team logo, a black leather jacket, jeans and high-top boots. The only thing she lacked was dyeing her hair two colors and tying it into two ponytails to look like Harley Quinn.
She usually doesn't wear makeup, at most she just puts on lipstick. But today, not only did she put on heavy makeup like in the European and American style, she also hung a lot of things on her ears and put a fake lip stud under her lips.
Although it is different from her usual style, it has to be said that Halle's appearance is indeed suitable for such heavy makeup, which makes people focus their attention on her at the first moment.
Then Schiller looked at Jack, who was leaning against the bar. He was dressed differently today.
In the past, he either wore work clothes or casually wore a sweater with a jacket. Today, he finally changed into the classic Joker skin - a purple suit, and also re-bleached his hair, finally turning it green from the roots to the ends. If nothing unexpected happens, he also had a blow-drying.
The most bizarre thing is that the makeup on his face was also reapplied.
The clowns in their universe didn't have their mouths cut open, and their clown makeup was just lipstick. However, their faces were indeed bleached with some kind of chemical, but because they didn't take care of it normally, it looked a little weird from a distance, not that scary.
Now, in addition to the original bleaching, it should be repainted, lipstick has been reapplied, and the lipstick has been applied to the base of the ears on the original basis. From a distance, it looks like a huge bloody smiling face.
Schiller turned his head to look the other way. Pamela finally put on her uniform, but perhaps to avoid looking like broccoli, her uniform was different from the Poison Ivy in other universes. It didn't look like a superhero uniform, but more like a dress that would appear on the red carpet.
The upper body is a deep V style. From the hips to the waist, there is a piece of fabric woven from dark green vines and leaves that gradually grow upward. When it reaches the chest, thicker branches and larger leaves spread out, covering the parts that should be covered. The part near the collarbone is a curling vine pattern.
The branches of the lower body are dark brown woody plants, with a total of nine trunks, spiraling clockwise from the waist downward, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom to form a fishtail shape, and then spreading outward near the ankles. There are not many leaves on the top, and the ends are stacked with leaves. The design of the entire lower body looks like a tree reflected on the water.
Pamela put on some makeup today, but it looked rather haphazard. She just casually applied some green eyeshadow and glitter, and let her hair down. It seemed that she wanted to imitate the Poison Ivy from another universe, but she failed because her emotions were too stable and she lacked some crazy and dangerous elements.
Deathstroke was still wearing the same old black and yellow armor, with weapons piled up on his back and waist. But Schiller could tell that he had just had his armor maintained, the metal parts were shiny and the fabric was not wrinkled.
Killer Croc wore a slim-fitting short-sleeved shirt, revealing his arms covered with scales. Judging from the glossiness of the scales, they must have been waxed.
As for the Penguin, Two-Face, and Mr. Freeze, they all wore suits: Penguin wore dark green, Two-Face wore dark brown stripes, and Mr. Freeze wore dark blue. At first glance, they looked like a real estate agency meeting.
Seeing this, Schiller had a bad feeling. It seemed that this 50 was not easy to earn.
"Professor! Come here quickly! You are the only one who hasn't undergone the image transformation yet!" Harry's eyes lit up.
"What? What transformation?"
"Of course a villain has to look like a villain," Harley said, "We have to have our own unique image, and it has to be fashionable! Come here quickly, let me see if there is anything you need to transform into!"
Schiller sighed in his heart, but looking at the light in Harry's eyes, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he had to walk over and sit down on the sofa.
If it goes as expected, everyone present should have sat here before. Schiller could already imagine the chaos before he came.
Harry walked around the sofa where Schiller was sitting several times, her brows furrowed and her expression changing unpredictably.
"I really don't think there is anything about me that needs to be changed. Besides, I am a professor and school rules require me to wear a suit. Otherwise, not only will my salary be deducted, but I may also be fired."
"Then you have to have something of your own," said Harry.
Schiller actually thought about it carefully, and then said: "You all have your own characteristics, only I am ordinary. How can it not be considered a characteristic?"
"It seems to make sense..."
"What's the point!" Victor said rather unhappily, "I said I don't like blue, but you insisted that Mr. Freeze should wear blue! How come it makes sense to him?"
"Because his code name is Professor," Pamela said, "You can't let a professor wear a doll costume, right?"
"Well, shouldn't the professor also have special props?" Cobblepot raised the umbrella in his hand.
The Cobblepot in this universe doesn't have the habit of holding an umbrella. It should be that Harley learned from the Penguins in other universes - the weapons of the Penguins in most universes are umbrellas, so she gave Cobblepot one.
"Isn't it that Schiller is the one who always carries an umbrella?" Harvey said, "I remember he had a black umbrella before..."
"No, if the professor holds the umbrella, what will the Penguin hold?"
"Can't I just not take it?"
"No! You've already taken it, you're not allowed to return it!"
Harry thought for a moment and then said, "Oh, by the way, Professor, I remember you had a globe head before?"
“That was in a dream,” Schiller said. “Only in a dream can that effect be achieved. In the real world, I can’t hold a globe over my head.”
"But that's really cool! Professor—"
Schiller sighed helplessly. He took money from others and helped them get rid of their misfortunes. Moreover, he really didn't want to reveal his true identity. So he had no choice but to contact Charles through the Doujie system.
The last brainwave had been erased by Hale, so he could only ask Charles for another one. But obviously, Charles was a little confused by this request.
"You mean, you want to have a brain wave that can automatically interfere with people's vision, so that everyone who sees you will think you have a globe for a head?"
"Yes, but only when I need it."
"Well, that's not difficult. Let me see..."
After a while, others were surprised to find that Schiller's head turned into a globe, and when you looked at him, the globe would slowly rotate.
"Great!" Harry exclaimed excitedly, "This is really cool! By the way, he can turn my head into..."
"No." Schiller refused outright, fearing that some shocking idea would pop up in Harley's little head.
"Why is this happening..." Harry said a little frustrated, "I also want to turn my head into Elvis, which will definitely scare a lot of people! Or I can turn it into a pumpkin head for Halloween..."
But she quickly became excited again and said, "Okay, now everyone has their own unique image, and we are the coolest villain organization in the universe!"
"From now on, everyone can only call each other by code names, and not by name. Otherwise, you will be fined."
"Next, we need to discuss what we want to change our base into. Everyone, please speak up. You can buy any equipment you want, and it will all be reimbursed!"
