Chapter 3305 Bloodshed in New City (Fifty-Four)
"The attending physician said that his condition was very bad. He had been severely abused and had suffered a severe blow to the head. It was mainly mentally traumatized and could not be resolved with current psychological methods."
The Penguin stood at the door of the ward and said to Schiller, "When you first said you wanted to find someone in Blüdhaven, I thought he was some great figure, but this..."
"This person is very important." Schiller said as he and Penguin walked out, "He used to be Batman's assistant and adopted son. He is the person closest to him besides his old butler."
The Penguin narrowed his eyes. He and Schiller stood by the windowsill and looked at the children playing in the yard downstairs.
This is a sanatorium in Blüdhaven. Due to the pleasant natural climate of Blüdhaven, many large medical institutions have set up sanatoriums here.
The sanatorium they were staying in was relatively small and belonged to a local private enterprise. But the environment was quite good. In addition to the inpatient building, there was also a large courtyard with beautiful shrubs and lawns, and many patients who came to recuperate would take a walk here.
The environment here also made Schiller feel familiar and comfortable. He knew that the Penguin had put a lot of thought into it. So, he also slowed down his tone and explained: "The Joker kidnapped Batman's Robin and tortured him. The kid was tortured to death. He revealed Batman's true identity. This may be an important reason for his stimulation."
The Penguin opened his mouth and said, "I can understand that the abuse stimulated his spirit, but what does this have to do with Batman's true identity?"
"He felt betrayed, so he closed himself off."
The Penguin's expression became even weirder. He said, "I definitely don't mean to be rude, but he and his assistant are playing something..."
“It’s not the kind of relationship you’d imagine, but they’re both exceptionally committed.”
The expression on Penguin's face turned slightly rude.
"To be honest, I never thought Batman would be such a person." Penguin shook his head and said, "I don't really think there is any incestuous relationship between them, but he is so smart that he should be able to think that if he warns the child not to betray, then the child cannot be the only one making efforts. He is the one who should ensure that the other party has no chance of betrayal at all."
"Yes, he should have, but he didn't. So this is how they are now."
The Penguin sighed, but not out of pity or anything, but just lamenting the stupidity of some people.
"You plan to hand him over to me. Do you trust me so much?"
"It's not your morality that I'm assured of. It's your greed." Schiller said with a smile, "You know what effect such a card will have on Batman, so you will definitely protect it. As long as you have such determination, even if the Joker comes again, you will not let him succeed."
"Of course, but what I mean is, aren't you worried that I'll hold this little guy and ask Batman to do something?"
"Do what? Help you assassinate your rival?"
"That doesn't require him." Penguin curled his lips and said, "Metropolis is not a place he can play with. Aren't you worried that I will endanger Batman's safety?"
"You won't kill him. But if you can break one of his legs, or even paralyze him for a while, I might be able to give you something else."
"You really make me confused." Penguin said bluntly, "You are the same as the Pale Knight. You should want to save that broken city, right? Then what are you doing now?"
"It's because I want to save Gotham. That's why I need to kick them both out first. You also climbed up from the bottom, don't you know what I'm doing?"
Penguin was silent. But he still said: "Revolutionaries are all executioners. I don't doubt that you can succeed, but have you considered your own end?"
"Me? Do you think I would say I'm not afraid of death? In fact, I'm even less afraid of being pushed to the gallows by those I saved. This is nothing new to me. I've been prepared for it."
"Okay, lunatic. It's up to you." Penguin stretched out his hand and spun the ring on his finger, then said, "But if there really comes a day like that, I can reserve a place for you in this sanatorium."
"Out of revenge against your former enemy?"
"I just think it's interesting." Penguin grinned and said, "Do you think Batman will come to visit you? What about the Pale Knight?"
"You're thinking too far ahead. Let's discuss Mr. Todd first. Can you find out how he came to Blüdhaven?"
Penguin shook his head and said, "The earliest we can trace back to is the admission record of the previous mental hospital. We can't find anything further back. But I guess someone saved him."
"Who do you think it could be?"
"I can't say for sure, maybe it's the Joker." Penguin pursed his lips and said the worst possible scenario. He said, "The Joker always has a back-up plan. Even if he dies, he won't stop."
"It's an interesting speculation. But I won't give him this chance." Schiller said, stroking the edge of the windowsill with his fingers. "I think he will be a good person."
"The good guys should send him back to Wayne Manor."
"What if he doesn't go?"
Penguin frowned slightly and said, "In his current state, he doesn't look like he can make his own decisions."
"It may be a little counterintuitive. But PTSD is not something that gets less severe over time. It gets more severe. He may have been in better shape initially than he is now."
"Then who do you think it is?"
"How did the Pale Rider get you to Bludhaven?"
"You doubt him? Wasn't that still the Joker? ...Wait. Are you saying that the Pale Knight existed at that time?"
The Penguin thought for a moment and said, "He caught me and drugged me. I don't remember the exact process, but I woke up in the valley."
"The Pale Knight is not that simple. He is even more complicated than Batman," Schiller said. "What we know now may be less than one-tenth of what he knows, and I cannot guarantee that he is completely out of the game."
The Penguin's facial features looked a little ferocious. He said, "Just wait. I will reserve a place for him in the sanatorium sooner or later."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I hope Batman can see his friends as soon as possible. Get ready."
The Penguin nodded grimly. The warm morning light shone on his face, making the angularity of his hooked nose more obvious. But soon the shadow moved from one side to the other, and the person in front of him changed from Schiller to Batman.
It's just that the Batman in front of him looks a little scary.
The areas that the mask couldn't cover were pale. His eyes were deeply sunken in his eye sockets. When Penguin saw him, he didn't even know who was the super criminal.
"Where is he?" Batman's voice trembled a little.
"He doesn't want to see you." Penguin said, "But in order to prevent you from accusing me of kidnapping him, I can take you to see him. You will be responsible for any consequences."
Batman clenched his hand holding the dart very tightly. He had considered countless situations where the Penguin would refuse or make things difficult for him, but he had never considered this one.
The Penguin brought Batman to the outside of the ward. It was already late. The windows in the corridor were covered with curtains, and the sunset outside the curtains was particularly brilliant.
The Penguin opened the door, but Batman didn't dare to walk over right away. He hesitated at the door for a long time before taking that step.
It was a small ward with only one bed and a bedside table. A black-haired young man was sitting on the bed fiddling with something. He looked up when he heard the noise and saw a very obvious scar on his face.
"Jason..." Batman called out his name.
Suddenly, a scream escaped from the black-haired young man's throat. He began to tremble and twitch all over, and rushed to the back of the bed, throwing the lamp at the door. He hid behind like crazy.
The medical staff rushed in and held him down, but his head had already hit the corner of the table and was bleeding.
The Penguin dodged Batman's move. He looked at him and said, "You should know that I have no involvement in your feud. His situation is definitely not my fault. If I had the ability to make him like this, I would have done it a long time ago, without waiting until now."
Batman clenched his fists. His mind told him that Penguin was right. But the rage that hadn't appeared in a long time reappeared in his heart. He used all his strength to not punch Penguin.
After closing the door of the room, the Penguin took Batman to the end of the corridor and told him: "He suffers from very severe post-traumatic stress disorder, so severe that there is no psychiatrist in the entire Blüdhaven who can treat him."
"It was a coincidence that I found him. Believe it or not. Even if it was to use you, I tried my best. But it was useless."
"I won't stop you from taking the person away. But I still say that if anything happens, you can't blame me. You will bear the consequences at your own risk."
"I'll find him a professional psychiatrist." Batman obviously didn't trust the Penguin, he said, "You have to let me take him away."
"I can anesthetize him, but I have no way of predicting what he'll do when he wakes up." Penguin kept shaking his head. He said, "And I saved him, but it wasn't without a price. You have to do me a favor."
Batman was relieved when he heard the Penguin's offer. He said, "I won't do anything illegal."
"Are you stupid? I'm a congressman now, why should I break the law? I need you to help me deal with someone. This guy always causes trouble for me..."
It was already dark when Batman walked out of the sanatorium. He boarded the ambulance with Jason in it. Jason, who was anesthetized, lay in the ambulance, looking as calm as if he was asleep.
Batman's mind was so preoccupied that he didn't examine it closely or notice the object Jason was fiddling with in his hand.
It was a small toy made of paper, so it could be easily held in the palm of your hand. There were four Chinese characters written on it: "东东西西", but if you turned it over, you could see an English sentence underneath.
"I know you're not crazy. Find a way to get Batman to ask me to be your primary doctor - Schiller Rodriguez."
