Chapter 471 The Three of Us (Part 2)
Just as Jonathan and Hugo were discussing the specific plan, suddenly, they heard a slight noise outside the door, and they immediately looked outside the door vigilantly.
Hugo walked to the door, and the moment he opened the door, he dodged backwards, but he saw a familiar man standing outside the door. The man stretched out his hand and greeted him, and smiled, showing eight teeth.
"Sorry, my roommate, I didn't mean to follow you. Did anyone tell you? Your acting is really bad, I can't help but notice it."
Hugo's face immediately darkened.
With a "bang", the dull sound of a silencer pistol came, but it was not Hugo who fired the shot, but Jonathan who was standing behind him.
Looking at Constantine lying in the blood, Jonathan said to Hugo with dissatisfaction: "You actually brought a tail with you?! You have made me doubt your professionalism again and again, Hugo, I think I should reconsider the necessity of cooperating with you."
Hugo frowned and looked at Constantine's body. When he was about to say something, suddenly, there was a sound behind Jonathan.
The two turned around and saw Constantine standing behind them and said: "Brother, your shooting skills are as bad as his acting skills."
When Hugo looked back at the body again, he found that the body slowly turned into ashes and the blood disappeared.
Without waiting for him to ask, Constantine spread his hands and said, "As you can see, I am a magician."
"You all know how prejudiced people are against magic. I said I can do magic, and they regarded me as a mental patient and locked me up here. I heard that you want to escape? How about taking me with you?"
Jonathan put down his pistol, looked at Constantine's smile, lowered his eyes, and then said, "It seems that you are a better partner than him."
"Are you going to trust him like this? Jonathan, trust this guy with unknown origins?"
"Aren't you also from an unknown origin?"
Jonathan put away his pistol, stood by the window and said, "The three of us are outsiders with unknown origins, and no one can really trust anyone."
"But we can cooperate temporarily, right?" Constantine stepped forward and said to Jonathan, "Does joining your organization require any kind of pledge? For example, killing someone or something?"
"Have you killed anyone?" Jonathan looked at Constantine and asked.
"Of course not. I am a good person who abides by the law. I am willing to make friends, but my friends' fate is not very good. They always die in various accidents."
"I am full of poetry and wander around the world. The journey is long and there are many accidents. Sometimes, I always feel that I am cursed, but now I think it's just bad luck."
He said this in a confused way, but Jonathan's face relaxed a little. He said: "I am the same. I thought I was cursed, but now it seems that this curse is called talent and wisdom."
"It can be seen that we are on the same path." Constantine said with his arms folded: "We treat the world with the greatest kindness, but the world does not give us back in this way. In this case, what's wrong with playing a prank?"...
"Is it time to discuss this issue now?" Hugo said: "Our plan..."
Suddenly, a ghost emitting a faint light appeared, grinning in the middle of the room, stretched out his arms to grab Hugo, pushed him against the wall, and then strangled his neck tightly.
"I think he is not the same kind of person as us, what do you think?" Constantine turned around and looked at Hugo who was struggling and screaming, and said: "He looks like an evil villain. I think I need to get rid of him for the people..."
Jonathan also turned around and said: "A stupid and self-righteous psychiatrist, who was scared and screamed when he saw a few illusions, and he didn't dare to escape even when living in an ordinary ward. He is a complete fool and waste."
"But..." Jonathan changed the subject and said: "He is still useful, let him go."
As soon as Jonathan finished speaking, Hugo was put down, and the ghost disappeared. After Hugo fell, he knelt on the ground and coughed continuously.
Jonathan's face showed a trace of satisfaction. In his opinion, this new stranger was more compatible with him.
Scarecrow Jonathan, an unlucky guy who was arrested and sent to Arkham Psychiatric Hospital since Batman debuted and missed all the exciting events.
Of course, it's not completely unlucky, after all, he is still safely in Arkham Psychiatric Hospital.
Even more fortunately, because his ward was located on the upper floors of Arkham Hospital, he had never met Yin Wens, Cobblepot and Jack who lived on the lower floors before. These people didn't even know that there was such a person on the top floor. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he was safe or not.
As a well-known villain in DC comics, Jonathan couldn't be content with the status quo. He definitely wanted to escape, but the security measures in the wards where dangerous patients were actually detained in this hospital were relatively complete.
As a university professor who had just debuted as a villain, Jonathan had neither a strong physique nor the strong action power to perfectly execute the plan in his mind. Therefore, it was very difficult for him to escape from prison alone.
While he was still observing the situation, someone took the initiative to find him, that is Hugo Strange.
Hugo was pulled into the dream by Schiller as a tool man before, but when the yellow light and the laughing egg appeared, he had nothing to do, so he was kicked out of the dream by Schiller. Because of the rough action, Hugo fainted in the clinic, and then was carried back to the ward by Brand.
At the beginning, he was indeed a little crazy, because the process of interrupting the dream connection was too rough and damaged his spirit, but in fact he recovered quickly, just because Brand had been treating him as a patient without any self-interest, so he had no chance to run away.
After enduring humiliation for a long time, Hugo gradually figured out the rules of the activities of the nurses and doctors, and then he began to travel at night. His goal was very clear, that is, the patients in the strict ward on the top floor.
He had also worked in many mental hospitals and knew that dangerous people were locked up in such wards. He thought that the process of seeking cooperation would be very difficult, and he even planned to use them as cannon fodder. However, he did not expect that he could communicate with the first person he found, and the two of them successfully reached a cooperation. …
But what was even more unexpected was that Constantine showed up halfway, and the two lunatics seemed to be more compatible, and Hugo himself seemed a little redundant.
But there was no way, the friendship between the three people was always like this, and the principle of first come first served did not apply here.
Constantine walked up, helped Hugo up and said, "Oh, I apologize to you, my little pet has a bad temper."
Hugo glared at him fiercely, but in the end he said nothing. Now it seems that Constantine will be their important force guarantee. Hugo took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.
"Continue to talk about your plan." Jonathan walked up and looked at Hugo and said.
Hugo said gloomily, "If we rush out like this, we will definitely attract Batman. Maybe we can escape, but it will cost us a lot. Besides, Gotham is Batman's territory. We can't run far before he catches us."
"So, we have to make some trouble first to attract his attention, and then we can implement our plan."
"What are you going to do?" Jonathan asked.
"It's simple. Let's get all the patients out."
Hugo began to pace in the room, saying as he walked: "I've been to psychiatric hospitals in various places. Most of the mentally ill patients are not too aggressive. They just can't take care of themselves, so they need to be hospitalized."
"However, some people are not like this. They are born criminals, irritable, indifferent, and cruel. Because they have committed crimes that hurt others many times, and because they have real mental illnesses, they will not be detained in prison. Such people are often locked up in local psychiatric hospitals."
"Most of them don't think they are sick, and at the same time they are full of anger and revenge against this society."
"Of course, even so, after they leave here, they still can't cause too much trouble. After all, they are just mortals and don't have any special abilities." At this point, Hugo glanced at Constantine.
"But Gotham is different, right?" Jonathan keenly noticed the point. Hugo nodded and said, "The main reason for the high crime rate in Gotham is that there are far more crazy people here than in other places, and they are more dangerous."
"Although I don't know what the reason is, the residents here are not mentally normal. When I was a doctor, I checked the medical records over the years. The probability of Gotham citizens suffering from mental illness is about 1500% higher than that of other cities. Among them, the probability of aggressive behavior or directly evolving into antisocial personality disorder is almost 100%."
Hugo glanced at the wall and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the people locked up in this mental hospital are all the most dangerous mental patients. As long as we let these crazy people out, it will be enough for Batman to have a headache."
Constantine opened his mouth, but did not speak. His reason told him that what Hugo said made sense, but his intuition also told him that if nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be an accident.
"Okay, then how do we execute it?" Constantine asked, with his hands on his waist and the hem of his windbreaker lifted to the back. …
Hugo said confidently: "This mental hospital should have been built a long time ago, and the wards still use a key and door lock structure."
"The reason I can come here is because I have found where they store the keys, but for the sake of safety, I only took one key, which is the key to this room, but in fact, I can also get all the keys..."
"Then do we go to open the doors one by one? Won't they attack us when we open the doors?" Jonathan asked.
"Originally, I wanted to take some other methods, but now it seems that our new friend should have a way." Hugo turned to look at Constantine.
Constantine stretched out his hands and waved them, saying, "Okay, I can let my little pet open the door. It's very fast and it won't take long to open all the doors. But are you sure that the patients here will cause enough trouble?"
Hugo said confidently, "Don't worry, those most dangerous lunatics will definitely rush out..."
"Then, add fuel to the chaos in this city."
Hugo turned his head and looked out the window. The night in Gotham was still very dark, but the light in the city center was like the sun in the night.
As the light and shadow swayed, the wind whistled through the center of the street. Two dark shadows passed over the roof of the building, a few darts passed by, and a hook flew out of the shadow's arm and entangled the fleeing person.
Batman grabbed the hook and swung it hard. The Joker, whose waist was entangled by the hook, was thrown to the ground next to him, and his head was broken and bleeding. He was unconscious, and the bomb remote control in his hand also flew out.
Batman walked forward, grabbed the hook on his waist, lifted him up, and slowly walked into the night of Gotham.
Looking in the direction he was heading, three figures with their own ulterior motives stood in front of the only lit window of the Arkham Psychiatric Hospital building.
