Chapter 3253 Bloody New City (Part )
As Bruce was telling the story, Schiller recalled the plot of the White Knight comics.
It's actually very simple. The clown in this universe is not a born madman. He was just an ordinary person at the beginning, a small town boy who came to the big city to work with great dreams. However, because he had no skills, he could only make a living by telling jokes in the bar.
Later he developed mental illness and became a crazy clown, but it might be because he was not a sociopath, but a real mental patient who had been troubled by mental illness. So although he seemed crazy, he did not commit any major crimes because of his poor mental state.
This is also the main reason why the people of Gotham later forgave him so easily. He was a real mental patient, but he was trapped in poverty and did not receive treatment, so he fell into madness.
Alfred, the old butler of Batman in this universe, was dying, and he suffered mental torture because of this. One day when he caught the Joker, he beat him up a little too hard and someone filmed it.
The Joker, who was beaten half to death, asked Batman if he was willing to take a gamble. Batman, who was almost losing his mind, agreed. Then the Joker took out the medicine and Batman stuffed all the medicine into the Joker's mouth.
The Joker fell into a coma, and a video of Batman beating the Joker was released, for which he was criticized.
After waking up, the Joker became the White Knight. He used a series of frame-ups and false accusations to send Batman to jail.
In fact, it was not a frame-up at the beginning, because the Pale Knight did find a 30 billion US dollar natural disaster fund to clean up Batman's mess. He believed that this was one of the evidences of Batman's harm to Gotham, because if the money was used to improve people's livelihood, Gotham would not be so rotten.
Later, the Pale Knight discovered that the money came from the Wayne Group and learned the true identity of Batman. Only then did he realize that it was just a transfer of money from one hand to the other, and Batman was paying to clean up his own mess.
And although most of the money goes into the hands of the rich, the remaining soup can slightly improve the lives of the poor, which is not Batman's problem.
However, at that time, the Pale Knight had gained a lot of fame by discrediting Batman and standing on the same front with the poor. The anti-terrorist team had also been established. Batman was thrown into prison and he had no way to retreat.
When he was still a clown, he met a bank clerk named Maria during a bank robbery. He took Maria home and made Maria fall deeply in love with him.
But after the Joker was cured and became the Pale Knight, Maria felt that the Pale Knight had hidden her lover and opposed him everywhere.
The Pale Knight was also a ruthless man. He got the Mad Hatter's hat, brainwashed Clayface, then ground the brainwashed Clayface into powder and gave it to the criminals to drink, thereby controlling all the criminals.
Maria found out about this, and she found out the truth. She controlled Clayface herself, and also got the ancient weapon left by Thomas, an ice cannon, and prepared to fight a decisive battle with the Pale Knight.
That’s when Bruce came in.
Solving the fundamental problem of distribution is indeed a bit beyond the scope of the question. Humans have not fully understood it for so many years, and Bruce has no way to do it for the time being, but it is still easy for him to beat a super villain.
Although he didn't know the plot, he knew what Maria was planning at a glance.
As soon as he returned to this world, the Pale Knight's mental condition became worse again. Although Bruce couldn't reproduce the medicine immediately, he was a doctor through experience and knew how to suppress schizophrenia and depression. He used various therapies to help the Pale Knight stabilize his mental state.
Bruce then gives the Pale Rider an acting lesson.
Simply put, Bruce had the Pale Knight act out his illness and successfully deceived Maria. He used the information gap to make Maria mistakenly believe that he had won and thus acted rashly.
Because the real Harley loves the normal Pale Knight, and Maria loves the Joker, but the Pale Knight and the Joker use the same body, so they are rivals among rivals.
Maria, who thought she was safe, did not rush to activate her freezing cannon. Instead, she kidnapped Harley and went to the chemical plant in Area X15, intending to execute Harley with the toxic gas there.
Bruce then released Batman to save Harley, but the Pale Knight arrived a step later than him.
At the critical moment, Batman blocked a bullet for Harley, but Harley was also knocked unconscious by the toxic gas, and both of them were admitted to the intensive care unit.
Batman's physical fitness is indeed good. The bullet was not far from his heart, but he still survived. Harley was more unlucky. Under Bruce's arrangement, she would have suffered minor injuries at most, but she hated Maria to the core. In order to push Maria into the toxic chemical pool, she was sprayed directly by the toxic gas and is now lying in the intensive care unit.
It was under these circumstances that Batman and the Pale Knight reached a reconciliation.
In fact, it's not that the two of them are willing to reconcile. Now the freezing cannon that can freeze Gotham is in the hands of the Pale Knight, and Harley is lying in the intensive care unit of Wayne Hospital. They both hold the most important handle on each other, so they can only accept it.
After listening to this, Schiller couldn't help but applaud Bruce and said, "You have figured out the tricks of hostages and kidnappers."
Bruce also laughed and said, "It seems you speak from experience."
"No, no." Schiller was polite for a moment, but still said, "Unfortunately, the things you people love are too abstract, so this trick doesn't work that well."
"Yeah, actually I was thinking about kidnapping Robin or something, but after thinking about it, I think it's most effective to threaten Batman with Gotham. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to transfer Maria away and take control of the cannon."
"How many Robins are there in this universe?"
"There seem to be two, but one is missing." Bruce recalled and said, "And Dick has also joined GTO, so Batman is alone."
At this moment, a news report came from the car radio, "...The mayor will give a detailed explanation of the chemical pollution case in District X15 this afternoon. The Napier government will definitely give an explanation to the public..."
"Is the chemical pollution there serious?" Schiller asked casually.
"Yes, Maria wanted to massacre the police and tampered with the pipeline. Fortunately, I was more skilled than her and did not let her succeed." Bruce's words seemed to be inconsistent. Schiller knew that he had something else to say, so he did not reply. Sure enough, Bruce continued.
"I had replaced the pipe joints in advance, and what was discharged was only harmless colored steam. However, I was the only one who knew about this, and neither the Pale Knight nor Batman knew about it."
"Where's Harry?"
"She was really unlucky. She knocked open the valve of the truly harmful gas." Bruce was also a little depressed. He said, "In fact, she didn't need to be a hero. At that time, I had already controlled the cannon and rushed back with a sniper rifle. If she hadn't intervened, Maria would have died long ago."
"Maria is still alive?"
"I couldn't help it. Batman was shot, and the Pale Knight who came was busy saving Harley. I couldn't show up to chase her, so I let her run away. But she was also seriously injured and couldn't make any waves."
"That's better," Schiller said.
"So the chemical plant pollution was a trap you set for that group of elites?" Schiller asked.
"That's right." Bruce smiled slyly and said, "Chemical pollution is not a disaster like an explosion destroying a building or a fire. This kind of pollution can last for dozens or even hundreds of years, and the price of the surrounding land will drop catastrophically to a freezing point."
"Will you buy these plots of land?"
"Yes, and no one will compete with me for it, because those people are not stupid. They know clearly that chemical pollution disasters are difficult to solve. Even if they can grab the land, the funds needed to deal with the pollution are astronomical. No matter how cheap the land is, they will not do it."
“Won’t they send someone to get tested?”
"Of course, the testers value their lives, so at most they will select a few points in some representative areas for testing. It is impossible to conduct a blanket survey, and the test results will be very unreliable."
"You're done?"
"Almost." Bruce nodded.
"Let me guess, you recruited the criminals from Arkham?" Schiller guessed, "Who did you ask to do it? Scarecrow?"
"Bingo," Bruce said, snapping his fingers.
"How do you control them? With the Mad Hatter's hat?"
"I admit that smashing Clayface and feeding it to others is a creative trick, but it's not very safe. I used a safer method."
"What is it?"
Bruce pulled down his collar and Schiller saw an obvious bite wound on the side of his neck.
"vampire?"
Bruce nodded and said, "I met a vampire in the fighting world. He bit me and taught me the method of the First Embrace. The offspring of a vampire cannot rebel against their father."
"Killer Croc can also turn into a vampire?" Schiller said with some surprise.
"Not only that, even the mud face can be transformed."
"Then you can't go out during the day?"
"It's not that we can't go out during the day, but we can't be exposed to sunlight." Bruce pointed upwards and said, "And the dark clouds in Gotham happen to filter out the sunlight."
Schiller was a little speechless, you still put a bug on this card.
But just as Bruce said, the nature of Gotham's dark clouds is very magical. Although the sky is relatively bright, it has no temperature. Schiller thinks that it is not that there is no sunlight at all, but that the ultraviolet rays are too weak to cause fatal damage to vampires.
Since it's not fatal, Bruce is not afraid at all. After all, he is still an angel and has strong self-healing abilities. This bug really stuck him.
To be honest, this method is indeed much more reliable than the Mad Hatter's brainwashing hat. After all, judging from other Schiller's experiences in the vampire universe, vampires do have strong control over their offspring.
"You'd better not let Pride see your wound." Schiller kindly reminded: "If he knew that you turned yourself into a vampire in order to control criminals, he would probably be furious."
"Then he turned himself into a snake in order to hook the goddess of magic. Vampires are at least somewhat related to bats. What does arrogance have to do with snakes?"
Schiller actually thought what he said made sense.
"Can you turn into a bat?"
"No, that would require a very high-level vampire. I don't know any vampire magic, and other than being able to control offspring, it wouldn't be any good."
"It's a losing business," Schiller said.
"It's not a big loss." Bruce smiled and said, "At least it can piss off the arrogant man half to death."
