Chapter 1664 No Time to Die (Twenty-Seven)
The Joker is a master at playing with people's hearts. He is especially good at grasping the dark side of others, stimulating the darkness in people's hearts, and then showing it to Batman.
But what if a person has no dark side in his heart?
Now the Joker knows.
The Joker is like a mosquito that is about to be roasted to death by a light bulb. Spider-Man squats at the door of his house and babbles, conducting more than 20 rounds of ideological and political education every hour on average, with an efficiency comparable to brain wave invasion.
When the Joker goes out to work, Spider-Man follows him to observe various illegal, substandard and dangerous places in Gotham City, and then notifies Bruce Wayne to improve them. Spider-Man's moral standards are matched with Bruce Wayne's work efficiency. The appearance of Gotham City has been completely renewed in the past few days.
The Joker squats at home and does not go out, so Spider-Man starts to help upstairs and downstairs. Today he helps this person fix the door and tomorrow he helps that person change the stove. Today he helps this person lift heavy objects and tomorrow he helps that person carry things.
Spider-Man can do everything, has great strength, good image and temperament, sweet mouth and is likable, energetic and does not need to rest, even more so than the Conch Girl. The living standard of the people in the entire apartment building where the Joker lives has suddenly improved, which makes the autistic Joker out of place.
But if Spider-Man is allowed in, it will be like inviting a wolf into the house for the Joker. Since Spider-Man forced his way in through the crack of the Joker's door, he has repainted the old furniture in this small apartment of less than 20 square meters, cleaned the fabrics and textiles, re-tiled the kitchen and toilet, and repelled mosquitoes and insects.
The Joker squatted in the corner and watched Spider-Man busy in the house. He felt that the most harmful garbage in the house that should be kicked out was himself, so he kicked out.
No matter how powerful Batman is, he can only install a two-pound camera on the person he wants to monitor, but Spider-Man uses the exhaustive method to find people.
After discovering that the Joker had sneaked away while he was working, Spider-Man took a loud speaker with a very high decibel and started to call the Joker in Gotham. It was a real carpet call. After the spider mutation, Spider-Man could walk through every street in Gotham for 24 hours without eating, drinking or sleeping, just to dig out the person he wanted to find.
The Joker, hiding in an abandoned factory workshop near the outskirts of the city, now wanted to slap himself for mixing the Dark Origin potion.
He found out that the only extreme emotion in Batman, the new Robin, was probably perseverance.
The good news was that the potion worked and the extreme emotions were strengthened. The bad news was that the strengthened perseverance was all used to save the Joker.
Spider-Man and Batman are not quite the same. Batman only fights crime, but Spider-Man really saves criminals. Not only does he save them, but he also saves them from all aspects. He can be said to have redressed grievances and complained about grievances.
Batman is that any evil will be brought to justice, and Spider-Man is that any injustice will be corrected by me.
The most terrifying thing about Spider-Man's approach to super criminals is that I have eliminated all the negative influences that society may have on you, making your life clean, smooth and stable, but you still go out to be antisocial. Whose problem is it?
But now that Gotham has developed to this point, most of the super villains are actually born lunatics infected by some metaphysical factors. If they are thrown into Central City now, they will still be antisocial. To put it bluntly, they are pickled and there is no hope.
But in fact, before this, their criminal actions always had a fig leaf. Living in the dark city, no one cared about them or helped them. Apart from Batman's fists, they might not even get a greeting. This easily makes people feel that it is not unreasonable for them to be so bad.
But when Spider-Man's endless sunshine shines on Gotham, only real gold is left after the waves fade away, and good neighbors help to take care of them 24 hours a day, it can be seen that this group of lunatics is pure madness and there is no excuse to find.
The Joker knew that he had to hide from the spotlight for a while. On the one hand, if Spider-Man saw more darkness in Gotham and corrected them all, then this broken city would be saved.
On the other hand, he was not interested in this kind of guy who only had the white side of human nature. Endless contradictions and struggles were the fun of his pursuit.
The Joker thought that if he squatted in the factory outside the city, Spider-Man would not be able to find it in a short time. When the effect of the stimulant Dark Source potion wore off, the crazy bird should go back to rest.
But he never expected that one crazy bird left and a group of crazy birds came.
That day, the Joker was sleeping soundly in the corner of the second floor of the abandoned factory with his coat on. Suddenly, he heard a commotion coming from downstairs, mixed with several familiar and slightly childish voices, one of which was particularly harsh.
"Hurry, hurry, move everything in... and this, this is a heavy machine gun, come and help unload, we have to stack everything in two hours, and then we have to go back to the city, the next buyer is still waiting."
"Jason! Jason! Don't just stand there, the rocket launcher tube has fallen off and you don't know how to support it... Dick! No, I didn't call you, I called the big one, come here quickly, let's lift the two bags of waterproof cloth that came with it..."
When the Joker, who had just woken up, walked to the window frame on the second floor in a daze, he had an idea - Wow, I saw Robin from the Bat Family dealing in arms downstairs!
He woke up with a start.
The location of the abandoned factory chosen by the Joker is quite good. It is located in the lower reaches of the Gotham River, very close to the estuary, and the distance from the Gotham River and the Gotham Harbor Pier is the same. There are no forests or bushes next to it, and it is all flat grass, which is particularly suitable for parking large vehicles, with a wide field of vision, and it is also suitable as a stronghold for defending against enemies.
But because of this, it is not just him who is eyeing this place, there are also two sets of Robins who have been busy with the great cause of Gotham's revival since they came back some time ago.
As mentioned before, the teenagers' cognition is relatively superficial. After they went to Schiller's universe and saw the scene of Gotham there, they compared their own world and found a clear difference, that is, there is no gang in their Gotham.
In their previous cognition, gangs are extremely evil things, which are simply synonymous with violence and blood, and belong to the kind of words that make people stiffen their fists when they hear them.
But after staying in Schiller's universe for a while, they have a more comprehensive understanding of the gangs. To sum it up, because Gotham is too backward, the traditional gang model is even considered a fairly advanced system here.
Thoughts, systems and regional status must be viewed together. A certain thought is just right in a certain region, but if it is taken to another region, it may appear too radical or conservative. Adapting to local conditions is the primary condition for choosing a struggle route.
Batman's birds went to Gotham in Schiller's universe, and the biggest inspiration they received was that the system suitable for Gotham is not the strong mayor system like Metropolis, nor the democracy that closely follows the state legislature like Central City.
In Gotham, it is impossible to move forward without violence.
Among many powerful systems that rely on violence, the feudal monarchy is too dependent on the personal qualities of the emperor, and it is too far away from the current system, so it is not suitable to be promoted. More importantly, Batman certainly does not want to be an emperor.
Then the kingdom aristocratic republic, which is also under feudal conditions, is a compromise and acceptable system under the existing conditions, that is, the system of the twelve gang families that dominate Gotham in Schiller's universe.
The twelve families headed by the Falconet family, that is, the royal family, are actually the product of the traditional aristocratic republic. All their economic benefits and capital come from this city. This city is their property. Naturally, they pay more attention to the construction of Gotham than those crazy people who only know how to destroy.
There is a saying that in the period of rapid economic development, all contradictions can be reconciled. If you want to reconcile the irreconcilable darkness of Gotham, you must first form a frame, then start the engine, and let the car drive forward at a high speed until it reaches the highest speed in the era, so that the darkness that is firmly attached to the bones and deep in the flesh and blood can be thrown into the wind.
And to reform Gotham, put the reverse gear and step on the accelerator, and go back to the gangster era, they must have a big enough fist.
Of course, the children of the Bat family are all skilled. It is definitely enough to be a superhero, but if they want to dominate Gotham, they lack some range damage. To make up for these damages, they naturally need powerful enough weapons.
The Robins in the main universe and this universe actually had a headache. Jason considered stealing weapons from the Bat Cave, and Dick thought he should buy them but didn't know where to buy them. In the end, it was Jason in the Schiller universe who came up with an amazing plan.
They wanted to buy them, and they had to buy them at a cheap price, and they had to buy the best quality and the largest quantity of weapons at a cheap price, so there was only one way - to make money from the Soviet Union.
As we all know, when the Soviet Union collapsed, it left a lot of legacy, the largest number of which was arms, and the Russian oligarchs who inherited these properties didn't feel bad about selling their grandfather's land.
Russia, which was trying its best to show goodwill to the West in order to join the Western economy, wanted to cut off both of its hands to show that it was not a threat. With the official semi-acquiescence, in the short few years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian oligarchs shipped a large number of weapons produced by Soviet arsenals.
Moreover, they sold what ordinary arms dealers sold, and they also dared to sell what ordinary arms dealers dared not to sell. Not to mention heavy machine guns and rocket launchers, as long as the money was enough, they would have enough missiles, tanks, and even weapons production lines.
Batman has always been generous in providing funds for the Bat Family's activities. Most of the time, the Bat Family doesn't spend much, because the equipment they need can be produced by the production line of the Batcave, and there must be raw materials in Batman's warehouse.
This leads to that they basically have a considerable amount of savings. When everyone takes out the balance, they can not only buy ordinary heavy weapons, but also buy a big one.
If you put down your moral bottom line a little bit, use some tricks to cheat and sneak attack, you can even get a super big one beyond imagination.
So, the Joker, who was lying on the window frame on the second floor, stared at the missile launcher exposed after the waterproof cloth was removed, and the missile warhead on the transport vehicle behind, which looked extraordinary, and was completely stunned.
"I am guilty! I plead guilty! Come on, let Batman throw me into the insane asylum, quickly!!"
Behind the fence of the interrogation room of the Gotham Police Department, the handcuffed Joker shook the railings frantically and shouted heartbreakingly: "I want to see Batman, I want to see Batman now!! Hurry up and get him here!!!"
"Hurry up and get Batman here, it will be too late!!!"
Joker: Damn, there is a madman!
