Chapter 2174 Battle of Two Cities! (Forty-two)
Strange agreed, and no one would ask why.
The specific operation method is that Strange himself creates an illusion of Bruce Wayne, and then uses his extremely skilled surgical experience to operate on this illusion, and then operates the illusion to produce the desired effect.
For example, if there is a cut here, then let the illusion have a reasonable incision, remove the nerve on that side, and then let the illusion simulate a nerve.
This plan was actually proposed by Strange himself.
Bruce's original plan was that he would leave his body here for Strange to fiddle with, and his soul would go out to do something else. Anyway, he just needed an alibi.
It is easy for Bruce to create an alibi, but the difficulty is to deceive the Joker, so a doctor like Strange who has the final say in the professional field is needed. If someone says it can be cured, it can be cured. If someone says that this method of surgery can be used, no one dares to refute it. This is the power of the top boss in the industry.
But Strange said in a somewhat disgusted tone that the nerves that Bruce had transformed into his body were too ugly to look at, and they were almost inconsistent with the laws of biological evolution. It would be better for him to make up a lesion himself, so that the operation time could be accurately controlled within 20 hours.
But it was really hard for Bruce to imagine how to perform the most delicate surgical operation as in ordinary surgery, while operating the magic phantom to perform the corresponding changes.
This requires not only the ability to perform delicate operations, but also unparalleled rich experience, knowing the direction of every muscle and every nerve.
You must know that in addition to another surgeon Jonah, there are countless experienced nurses and head nurses present. It is not easy to hide it from the eyes of this group of people. It is not easy to just make a bleeding animation effect.
And now there are two intern assistants in the operating room. Strange may need to explain while performing the operation. The difficulty of three-pronged approach is not addition, but exponential growth.
But since Strange asked so, Bruce signed the contract. Strange saw how careless the signing of contracts in this universe could be. There was no need to find a lawyer. Both parties just needed to read the contract and sign it.
The terms of the contract were not rigorous at all. To put it bluntly, it was just plain language. It stipulated who would do what, when to finish it, and what the consequences would be if it was not finished. It could not be said to have the prototype of modern law, but it could only be said to be quite Hammurabi's legacy.
Then Bruce also saw what the real hand of God was. Strange drove Jonah away, a light flashed in his hand, and the phantom enveloped Bruce's original body.
He cast an invisibility spell on Bruce and winked at him. Bruce sat up from the operating table and the wound healed quickly.
Then he continued to perform extremely delicate operations near the incision made by Jonah in a way that Bruce could not see any flaws at all.
This can be called incredible, because now he has not only concealed the room full of doctors and nurses, but also the world's best detective Batman.
No wonder Nick thought of looking for him first, Bruce thought with some sigh, he is a natural liar, and his skill will make Batman applaud.
Bruce was fascinated and almost forgot to leave. It was not until Strange coughed several times that he walked to the door reluctantly, thinking that he must add a clause to the contract with Strange next time to learn surgical techniques from him.
Wait, it seems that I don't have to learn from him.
After Bruce left, he went to find Peter Parker as soon as possible. At this time, Peter didn't know that his good partner Bruce had changed people. He walked up to him with some worry and gave him a hug and said.
"Don't be too depressed, man. Heroes are always misunderstood. It's not your fault. It's all because the criminals are too cruel."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Bruce walked into the room quickly. He looked around the equipment in Matt's small gathering place and said, "Do you have a remote hidden headset?"
"No, but what do you want the headset for?"
"I have a plan, but I need your cooperation. At first, you may have a lot of confusion, so I need to inform you through the headset."
Peter felt a little confused. He looked at Bruce and blinked and said, "You look a little different."
Bruce also turned and looked at him, lowered his eyes and said, "You're right, people are inevitably misunderstood, but this doesn't make me angry, but it makes my mind more active and my physical strength more abundant. I'm forcing myself to find a solution. I know I can find it, and you know it, don't you?"
Peter was slightly stunned, and then he thought that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Although he acted very bad before, who knows if Batman was also bad when he was young?
Everyone matures at a different time. Peter deduced based on his own simple common sense that it was impossible for Bruce to be reading "The Iliad" and memorizing "Major Cases" as soon as he was born.
He will always have his bad days, why can't he be in his 20s?
But everyone will mature, and so will Spider-Man. When he was not yet mature, Spider-Man could not say that he did better than Bruce, so he was fully tolerant, and now he also believed that everyone should be viewed from a developmental perspective.
Perhaps just like himself, there was a certain node that contributed to Batman's transformation, making him stronger and stronger, until he became the omnipotent Batman in the impression of Spider-Man.
Peter immediately raised his confidence. In fact, he had also felt a headache about how to reverse the public opinion before. Spider-Man had experienced this kind of thing many times, but so far, he had not found any useful method, and could only wait for the storm to pass.
However, Peter Parker was just an ordinary little person. After taking off his uniform, he went to school and went to work. No one would pay attention to him, but Batman was not like this. After taking off his uniform, he became Bruce Wayne, and there were more things to worry about. There was no way to throw everything away and avoid the limelight.
But if Batman is Batman, everything will be different. Spider-Man knows best how amazing Batman's plan is. If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely turn the situation around.
But out of caution, Peter must make sure that this is not another stupid idea, so he tentatively asked: "What plan have you made? Can you tell me?"
"Of course, we are teammates." Bruce nodded, walked to the end of the single bed next to him and sat down, and patted the seat next to him.
Peter immediately showed a bright smile and walked to sit next to Bruce. He felt that his previous feelings were not in vain. Batman was willing to tell him his plan.
You know, that's Batman. Can other Spider-Man do it?
"Before I tell you about the future action plan, I have to explain to you what I did before."
Bruce said shockingly, "I went to play a Russian roulette game with Mayor Penguin, which is the kind of game where you load a bullet into a six-shot revolver and take turns shooting yourself in the head."
Peter just remembered it, he turned his head and looked at the small TV next to him and said, "I heard on the news that you were being rescued, and I thought the media were exaggerating and reporting it randomly. So you are okay?"
"This is part of my plan. I went on to say that for some reason, my luck is extremely bad. You can understand it as a 10% chance of something bad happening. The probability of a 50% chance of something bad happening to me is about 50%, and the probability of a 50% chance of something bad happening to me is 100%. "
"The probability of 1/6 is neither too high nor too low. What is certain is that I will be shot within three shots, but my luck was particularly bad this time, and I was shot in the first shot."
Peter turned his head and looked Bruce up and down. He didn't see any scars on him, but he was not surprised. On the one hand, if you take good protection, the lethality of a small revolver is not particularly large. On the other hand, Spider-Man has the ability to heal himself. After being shot, as long as the bullet can be taken out, the wound will heal very quickly, and it will only hurt a little at most.
"Why did the mayor bet with you?" Peter asked his question.
"Manipulation tendency is one of the most prominent characteristics of psychopaths." Bruce replied, "They can't resist manipulating others. Penguin is such a lunatic, so this is also tempting enough for him."
"He thinks I am not as firm as him, so he can use the threat of death to create pressure to make me collapse. In addition to being able to manipulate me to gain benefits, watching others collapse and suffer in his mental abuse is sweet candy for these lunatics, and they can't refuse."
Peter shuddered, and then he heard Bruce continue, "But this is actually just the sugar coating on the shell. I don't plan to win at all, and I even plan to die before he puts pressure on me."
Peter felt that Bruce in front of him had completely changed. Even though he no longer had the instinct of spider sense, he still asked him to move his position further away from Bruce.
"The media is good at manipulating public opinion to slander others. They tried every means to pile up high firewood and let the flames burn more and more. So instead of looking for water everywhere to put out the fire, it is better to build a rack and barbecue directly."
Peter listened in amazement as Bruce fluently finished a series of plans.
"I fell in the mayor's office. Penguin cannot be said to be innocent. There is no room for beautification. The more details are covered up, the more people will only care about the results."
"And the result is that Penguin defeated the notorious me, making me pay a painful price and even dying."
"The people who have been completely incited by these media don't care about any laws. The essence of populism is lynching. Penguin judged me on their behalf and naturally became their spiritual leader."
"They don't care about Penguin's wishes. They just need a spiritual banner to vent their emotions and spread their extreme ideas. They will repeatedly emphasize that Penguin stands on their side."
"But those vested interests will not allow someone to lead so many people to judge their members wantonly. They must make Penguin pay a price to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and warn the fanatical people to be honest."
"This will make it so that even if Penguin doesn't want to stand on the side of the people, he can't, because now only those who support him want him to live, and the rest want him to die."
Bruce raised his hands and said, "The upper class needs a gorgeous shell to package themselves, to show their civilization and kindness, at least on the surface, they need to respect the wishes of the people."
"Then all the people who support Penguin will become his lifeline. He must hold on to them tightly to save his life. If he wants to hold on to them, he must join them, lead them, and protect them."
Peter saw a dangerous vortex opening up on Bruce. The madness hidden behind the wisdom in his blue eyes was like a light spot in the deep sea that lures fish to take the bait.
Peter was unconsciously attracted to him.
Bruce said as he stood in front of him.
"Some people say that only by torturing super criminals can the hatred in their hearts be relieved; some people say that death is the end that super criminals deserve; some people say that ignoring and forgetting are the best punishments for super criminals - but I think none of them are right."
"... Then, what should it be?"
"The best way to punish super criminals is to let them become superheroes."
I'm secretly at the beach. Sorry for being late
