Chapter 825: Ways to Break the Impasse
Generally speaking, students who come to participate in the second round of internships are those who want to stay in Gotham for employment, otherwise, they would have already found jobs in other cities.
To stay in Gotham for work, dealing with gang members is an unavoidable proposition. Although academic level is important, you must first learn how to deal with special patients here in order to save your life.
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with choosing Arkham Asylum as the location for the second round of internships. There are indeed no mental patients here, but students can still learn a lot about the survival of Gotham from here.
Schiller has already greeted all the patients here. Recently, a group of students will come for internship. If they ask questions with medical records, just answer them truthfully.
As long as they are human, they will have some psychological problems to a greater or lesser extent, and there is no completely normal psychology. Therefore, even if it is not a typical case, it can also provide some experience.
Schiller did not expect to see Bruce here, because it is obvious that Bruce could not establish a gang in such a short time.
Since he did not really establish a gang, he appeared here now, obviously using some means of deception and sneak attack.
It seems that he has become wiser than he thought, Schiller thought, but now Schiller doesn't have to worry about not having enough credits to graduate.
After all, he also participated in the second round of internship, although he participated as a patient, but he still participated.
Soon, Bruce was surrounded. His former classmates asked him all kinds of questions in some not-so-fluent and awkward ways to check his current mental state.
Bruce could only conscientiously play the role of a young gangster boss who had just taken office and answer their very obvious questions.
Schiller waited and watched. After a while, he glanced at his watch and said, "I'll go to other groups. It's almost lunch time. When it's over, you will go down to eat together. You don't need to wait for me anymore. I'll go back to the office to deal with some things."
After that, he left. Bruce's eyes were always on Schiller. Obviously, he had something to say to Schiller, but before he could find an excuse to leave, his classmates surrounded him again.
Bruce was eager to talk to Schiller, but the students in the three groups were all candidates for outstanding graduates. They were very enthusiastic about learning and wanted to compete for the position of outstanding graduates. They finally caught a patient, so of course they had to get enough information to gain the upper hand.
Bruce dealt with them while looking out the door. It was finally time for dinner. All the other students left, and only Evans stayed.
Bruce was in a hurry to go out, but Evans stopped him and said, "Which area are you the boss of? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Bruce stroked the mask on his face and said, "Godfather, my territory is close to Wayne Building. I just took over recently. It's normal that you haven't seen me..."
Evans narrowed his eyes and said, "Wayne Building? That should be the territory of the twelve families. Who did you kill among them? Didn't their families cause trouble for you?"
Bruce sighed and said, "Godfather, aren't you hungry? The restaurant is downstairs. Do you want me to take you there?"
Evans was even more confused. Although he was not the Godfather, but Alberto was, the two of them had shared their memories. When the old Godfather announced his retirement and Evans officially took over the Falconet family, everyone was complimenting the new Godfather.
The strange stranger in front of him seemed to care more about Professor Schiller than him. Gotham actually had such a gangster leader. Evans didn't know whether to say he was ignorant and fearless, or he didn't know how to live or die.
Bruce didn't have time to bother with Evans. He had too many questions to ask Schiller, so he walked quickly towards Schiller's office.
Evans felt strange, so he kept following him. Bruce wanted to get rid of him, but he was worried that Schiller would leave early, so he didn't care. The two rushed into Schiller's office one after another.
In the office, Schiller was reading the initial diagnosis report submitted by the students. When he saw the two of them coming in, Schiller pushed his glasses and said, "You are here? Sit down."
"Evans..." Schiller waved to Evans and said, "Call your brother out, we have something to talk about."
Evans was stunned for a moment, and at this time, he saw Bruce taking off his mask.
In fact, at this time, the wound on Bruce's face had almost healed. Except for being a little thinner, his original appearance could be seen. Evans widened his eyes and said in shock: "Bruce?! Why are you here? Why are you still... I mean, how could you..."
"Okay, don't be too surprised," Schiller comforted him. He said, "Our Mr. Wayne is very interested in the second round of internships, so he volunteered to become a patient. You have to treat him in the afternoon. Now call your brother, we have something serious to talk about..."
Seeing Schiller's serious face, Evans said nothing and nodded. He was stunned for a moment, then changed his expression and said to Schiller: "Teacher, you are looking for me?"
"Sit down." Schiller pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "I heard that the twelve families have changed their words now, right? Godfather?"
Alberto shook his head and said, "The title is not important at all. They are willing to show respect to me because I have completely taken over all the industries of the Falcone family, and the old godfather no longer holds any power."
"And this is thanks to one person..." Alberto glanced at Bruce and said, "A madman with a red hood drove a truck full of children into the North District and came to the old godfather."
"There has been no such bold person in Gotham for forty years, so the old godfather felt that the time was ripe and his rule should end."
"That night, he called me to the room and talked to me a lot." Alberto shook his head and said, "It was with me, not with Evans."
"We haven't had such a long talk for a long time. I should be happy..."
Bruce looked at him. There was a trace of solemnity on Alberto's face, and there was no excitement of holding power at all.
He heard Alberto say, "The situation in Gotham is worse than I thought. No, it should be said that the situation of the twelve families is worse. They are only a hair's breadth away from being unable to continue." Bruce and Schiller both narrowed their eyes. Even though they both had a deep understanding of Gotham, they had never really ruled Gotham, and they didn't know much about the twelve families at the top of Gotham. Hearing Alberto say this, Schiller asked, "What's going on? Can you tell me about it?" "Perhaps you have heard that the eldest daughter of the Spencer family and the youngest son who just came back from abroad are fighting each other, but Law Spencer can do nothing about it. If this continues, the Spencer family's industry will inevitably be divided into two, and the name of the twelve families will not be preserved." "What exactly is going on?" Schiller frowned and said, "A few days ago, I heard from my neighbors that a fierce conflict broke out at the birthday party of old Spencer, and someone was injured? "
Alberto nodded and said, "Yes, I was there that day..."
As he recalled, the lights on the dance floor gradually lit up, and the gangsters in suits walked in from the red carpet, stood at the door, adjusted their ties, stomped their feet lightly, and walked into the brightly lit hall.
"Hey! Charles, you old man, you are still alive! Come here, how many years have we not seen each other, it must be sixteen or seventeen years..." Old Spencer came up, stroked the other old man's back and said: "Time flies so fast..."
"Yeah, you damn old squirrel, when we were still messing around at the dock, you said that one day you would hold a grand birthday party, invite me over, and then let Marina dance with me..."
The old man called Charles shook his head and said: "Marina died two months ago. Fortunately, her grandson was more filial and held a Catholic funeral for her. Neither of us had time to go..."
Old Spencer also showed a nostalgic expression and said: "Marina was the most beautiful girl of the young group at that time, but it was a pity that she was entrusted to the wrong person. That French guy is really damn..."
While reminiscing about the past, the two walked into the hall. At this time, Old Spencer pulled over a young man who had red hair like him. He introduced him to Charles: "This is my son. When he was just born, you and Liv held him. You said he was a strong foal. "
Char patted the young man on the back and said, "It's been so long since we last met. Your little son has grown up so much. Come on, let's go over there and talk..."
They changed their seats, but at this time, a series of footsteps came from the stairs, and a woman in a gorgeous dress came down. Her beautiful red hair was like a waterfall, and her beautiful face was full of imposing momentum.
As soon as she came down, the faces of old Spencer and little Spencer beside him changed, but at this time, more guests gathered around, and compliments were endless.
"That damn bitch..." Little Spencer whispered, but at this time, old Spencer glared at him and said, "Shut up, you idiot, that's your sister!"
"My sister?!" Little Spencer raised his voice and said, "She is a bitch who wants to rob the Spencer family's property! "
Charle, who was standing next to him, glanced at Little Spencer, and showed a look of contempt where Old Spencer couldn't see.
Then, he looked at the woman in the center of the spotlight, narrowed his eyes, and rolled his eyeballs, as if he had some calculations.
Charle was also a gangster boss with considerable experience. Although his family was in decline now, it could still be ranked among the top in Gotham.
He and the Spencer family were old friends. His wife Liv was Old Spencer's distant cousin. The two families had always been in contact, so they knew each other's situation very well.
Old Spencer's son and daughter did not have the same mother. The mother of the eldest daughter, Freya Spencer, was Old Spencer's first wife, but later died. Old Spencer married another and gave birth to the boy now.
The wife he married later was a foreigner, who seemed to be a West Coast actress. When the youngest son was born, Old Spencer found that he was very talented and had an IQ that was different from ordinary people. He wanted to keep him by his side and train him well.
But the wife he married later cried and made a fuss about letting her son enter the best university. Old Spencer was overwhelmed and sent him to another place when he was in high school. He was away for seven or eight years. When he came back, Gotham had changed a lot and no one knew him at all.
Old Spencer did not like his eldest daughter, so he did not train her. But Miss Spencer was also very talented, very beautiful, and had a high EQ. She was very famous in the whole circle of ladies and ladies in Gotham, and had very strong connections.
This caused a problem. When the youngest son that Old Spencer favored came back, he was completely at a disadvantage against his sister.
However, the younger son has learned a lot of economics and management, and has a lot of experience in managing the family business. Many people are willing to follow him. The eldest daughter has a deep foundation and a wide network of contacts, so some people are willing to follow her.
If one party is very strong and the other party is very weak, it would be fine, but I am afraid that in such a situation where the two are evenly matched, they will fight. Today you force me to hand over my shares, and tomorrow I will cut off your production line. The good industry of the Spencer family will be torn to pieces.
Old Spencer has a bad relationship with his daughter, but he has not been close to his son for so many years.
The eldest daughter thinks that it was her father who deliberately killed her mother, and the youngest son thinks that his father has not protected his mother for so many years. Anyway, Old Spencer has become a nobody.
He has no power in front of his children. It would be fine if he could seize power, but Old Spencer's talent is not as good as his two children. As soon as the fight started, he couldn't stop.
Alberto sighed and said, "Old Spencer's youngest son is a young man who came back from outside the city. He doesn't understand the rules of Gotham at all. He couldn't help himself at the party that day and wanted to hit his sister."
"Miss Spencer is not a pushover either. She just finished her nails and swung her hand back, scratching her brother's eye, making him a one-eyed dragon at a young age..."
"This is troublesome. The entire Spencer family has become a joke among the twelve families. The youngest son wanted to hit his sister at his father's birthday party, but he was beaten back. It was a good birthday party, but blood was seen just a few minutes after it started. If it were known to others, it would be a disgrace to the family."
"If it were in the past, the Godfather They might take care of it, but now, the Falconet family is also busy making money, who can care about so many family matters? "
"They don't want to be the Twelve Families anymore, there are many people who want to be. I said the other day that the Spencer family has declined, just to make room for the Oswald family. I am very optimistic about Cobblepot..."
Schiller and Bruce looked at each other and found that the issues that the other party wanted to discuss seemed to be the same as their own. In the end, Schiller spoke first:
"Among the Twelve Families, are there many such situations?"
Alberto frowned and said, "According to my and Evans' memories, such situations have become more and more common in recent years."
"The Twelve Families are often not short of money, especially the leaders. Families go on vacation every year, and they have home theaters and video discs. Many children raised in such families are not willing to stay in Gotham and like to go out. "
"With the rapid replacement of gang members, if you have a few years of blank period and don't stay in Gotham, you may not even recognize everyone when you come back. If there are other children in this family, it will be difficult for you to compete with those heirs."
Alberto shook his head and said: "Many second-generation gangsters who like to go out are more flexible and have ideas. They are determined to reform. However, the vast majority of gang leaders in power now are still the same generation as the old godfather. They don't like these people who don't understand. "They want to maintain the original order, so they try their best to suppress these people, and the way to suppress them is to support other heirs in the family, but the other party will not give up. In the past few years, there have been more and more family conflicts, and the old godfather can't adjust them one by one. Many things can only be solved by themselves." Alberto showed a solemn look and said, "This is why I feel a lot of pressure. After I came to power, many new generations expect me to abolish these rules and give them freedom, while many older generations think that I should maintain order on their behalf..." "Then what do you think?" Bruce asked. Alberto nodded and said, "If you are in this position like me, you will see something very clearly. Those unruly young people will bring great trouble. They are too impulsive and don't care about the consequences, but those children who are brought up within the rules are too rigid and not flexible enough. "
"If I have to say who I prefer, I still prefer those smart people..." Alberto rubbed his eyebrows helplessly and said, "There are many people who have never read books. I don't know how to communicate with them. It's like we are not speaking the same language. Their comprehension ability is really problematic. ·
"Take the logistics industry as an example. Those who have never read books and only live in the rules can't understand why the road reconstruction must pass through their territory? Why should their business be affected? They don't look at the problem with a long-term perspective, but only care about the gains and losses of the moment..."
"Those who have received higher education are reasonable and willing to sacrifice their current interests for longer-term benefits, but they always shout and act arrogantly, thinking that they are the only ones in the world who are right, and everyone else is stupid..."
Schiller smiled and said, "This is not only a problem that Gotham will face, but the whole world is facing this problem. Using mandatory rules to discipline humans will inevitably erase some creative thinking, but if everyone is allowed to be imaginative, then it will fall into chaos again. ·
"I have been thinking about this issue these days." Bruce said, "If the lower class people have no chance to receive education because they are busy making a living, then the upper class of Gotham also lacks education because of the unique gang rules, the unique fast-paced competition, and the rapid turnover model. The uneducated lead the uneducated, which is exchanging the future of everyone for the prosperity of the present."
Schiller shook his head and said, "The people of Gotham are not uneducated, but their education is more inclined to social rules and practical education. The disadvantage of lacking systematic education is that talents have no stable upward channel, and the overall thinking and logic level cannot be improved."
"And now, the reason why this situation can continue is that Gotham has geographical and industrial advantages, but in the long run, the disadvantages will definitely be reflected, especially once technology begins to grow explosively, the connection between people will be strengthened, and the chain of interests will be broken because of not keeping up with the times, which may cause the entire city to fall into chaos again. ·
Schiller turned his head and glanced at the calendar, saying, "This year is 1990. I think the situation I am talking about will not be too far away. "
Bruce and Alberto both frowned. These two people were the least likely to leave Gotham City. All other gangsters could make enough money and escape, but these two would not abandon this place.
Bruce took out a piece of paper from his pocket, looked at it and said, "I hope to improve the education level of Gotham people, but this matter is not that simple at all."
"To improve the education level, they must receive education, but to let them receive education, they must ensure that the survival materials they receive during the education period can keep them alive. "
"To achieve this, they need to earn more money in less time. To make them earn more money, there must be more and better jobs. To have more and better jobs, industries must be developed and the economic level must be improved. To develop industries, various types of talents are needed. To have various types of talents, education must be improved..."
At the end, Bruce gritted his teeth. He felt that this was like a rope around his neck. Every time he thought about it, the rope would tighten until he fell into desperate suffocation.
"There are industries that can make money in a short time..." Bruce added, "But this kind of industry is unhealthy, cannot be developed into a long-term industry, and cannot provide stable jobs. The money earned is not invested in education."
"In fact, we have made a good start." Alberto said, "Depending on the accumulation of the previous era, Gotham's economic situation is very good now, and it has not yet reached the point where all classes cannot continue. "
"However, the vast majority of wealth, through the gang system, comes to the class of the twelve families, but this class will not invest money in education, because the gang system that benefits them does not need education, and they certainly will not waste money."
"The problem now is that if I use violence to overthrow the entire gang system, it will not be the rich who will suffer, but the people at the bottom." Bruce took a deep breath and said: "The gang leaders can leave here at any time. They have made enough money and can use the money to live a chic life in other cities."
"However, once the gang system collapses, the remaining people who cannot leave will no longer follow the rules. They want to plunder enough benefits. There is only one way, that is to start a war. When everything depends on robbery, those unarmed ordinary people are the biggest victims. "
"That's the problem..." Schiller took a sip of water and said, "Maybe many people think Gotham is already rotten, but in fact, it has not hit the bottom yet. Some people may think that the gang rules are already cruel, but in fact, this maintains stability and ensures that most people can survive, even if they live poorly and struggle to survive, but at least they can survive."
"Once the rules collapse in an instant, the city's capital and economy are completely drained, then Gotham will really have nothing to play with."
Schiller looked up at the door, as if he saw a future. He said, "By that time, all kinds of crazy people will appear one after another, and this place will become a hell without order forever. Whether it is Batman or any other hero, they have no ability and no way to solve this problem from the root. They can only fight criminals one by one like drinking poison to quench thirst. If you can save one person, you can save one person... Bruce tightened his grip on the handrail. He understood what Schiller meant. If the current Gotham is compared to a person, then his current state is a bit like Bruce who fell into the chemical pool before. The skin of the whole body was corroded, revealing muscles and bones. The appearance was unrecognizable. For ordinary people, it is almost impossible to survive if the skin tissue is completely corroded. But But forty years ago, someone gave Gotham a dose of stimulant, caught up with the trend of the times, and established a gangster system to prevent the wound from festering and infection.
Forty years have passed, and the potion's ability is about to expire. Although this potion saved Gotham's life, this potion is addictive. Once the potion's effect ends, not only will he face the possibility of more serious injuries, but he will also experience withdrawal reactions.
Now, the injury still does not endanger the internal organs, but if it continues like this, it will only rot from the epidermis to the bones and internal organs. At that time, no matter which part is operated on separately, it will be impossible to save it.
And to perform a comprehensive operation on a person who has completely lost his skin, bones, and internal organs, Batman can't do it, Bruce Wayne can't do it, and the two of them together can't do it. I can't do it.
Perhaps many people think that the most criticized point of the comic character Batman is that he has the ability to save Gotham by other means, but he still has to fight with criminals.
But in fact, at least from the perspective of Schiller who is now in Gotham, the behavior of the later Batman is probably not because he didn't think it through, but because it was too late.
The order of the gang is also order. As long as there is order, it will not be rotten to the end. But when the original Batman in the comics became Batman, the order of the Gotham gang had come to an end, and the next was an era of madmen.
Why were there so many madmen in that era? In fact, it was because the soil here was no longer orderly, but had become completely chaotic. Not only was there no education, no economy, no culture, There is no upward channel, nor is there a way out.
By that time, even if the Wayne Group is the richest company in the world, under this system, it is nothing but a daydream for a private company to save such a megacity.
No company in the world dares to say that it can save a post-war New York. The rescue costs, construction costs, resettlement costs, and later education costs and development costs required, let alone a company, can completely hollow out a slightly smaller country.
There are too few things in this world that go against the current. Most of the historical cycles are falling downward uncontrollably. Once a thing falls below a certain passing line, the cost of saving it exceeds the cost of destroying it, then it is almost doomed to destruction.
All Batman could do at that time was to keep Gotham barely above the passing line and prevent the sins here from overflowing. Once the madness here is too out of line, then he will only have the way to destruction.
"Although I don't agree with Batman's idea of saving everyone he can, because I think that's a bit negative, but I never say that you can't save Gotham this way, and you should do this and that to save Gotham..." Schiller took a sip of water and said, "No company or person in this world has the ability to save this city alone."
"And I used to fantasize that one of my identities could save Gotham." Bruce said slowly, "After I deeply understood all this and understood the truth of this city, I found that it would be difficult for Wayne Group and Batman together, not to mention that it was ten years late."
"Let's talk about our current goals." Schiller turned the topic back and eased the heavy atmosphere.
He said: "My goal is to make Gotham have a normal learning atmosphere, so that Gotham's family education, social education and school education complement each other, rather than dragging each other down. The most important goal is systematic education."
"Even if there is no compulsory universal education, at least there should be an atmosphere of education throughout Gotham, instead of being ashamed of being educated like now. This is unbearable for any individual teacher."
After Schiller finished speaking, Alberto said: "The Falcone family is now established at the top of the pyramid, but we all know that this cannot last long. Now many drawbacks have been revealed. This system is no longer suitable for the current era. Once the pyramid collapses, the highest one will fall the hardest."
"I hope that the Falcone family can land smoothly, even if it no longer has a dominant position. I hope my father can enjoy his old age."
After Alberto finished speaking, Bruce was silent for a long time, and then he said: "I just hope that this city will become better, or become a little more normal, and stop rotting."
"I hope there won't be so many tragedies, and that everything won't slide in a bad direction, but move towards the light, and never return to the night."
The three of them were silent for a while, and Schiller spoke again: "Then we have reached an agreement, that is, Gotham's system must be fundamentally changed, right?"
Alberto and Bruce both nodded, and Schiller continued: "Now, let's see what the difficulties are. I think there are two points. First, if the black system is completely overthrown by too violent methods, it will cause the city to fall into chaos for a long time."
"The second point is that once the reform begins, the investment required is Human and material resources are huge, and there is no turning back. If you want to stop halfway, the sunk costs will definitely not be recovered. "
"I think there is another point." Alberto said: "Although the state assembly never cares about us, and we never care about the state assembly, but if we make a big move here, will they really have no objection?"
Hearing this, Bruce thought Alberto had changed his nature, but he heard Alberto say: "So, before we reform, should we create some seats for the state assembly first, and then bribe the election?"
"Don't rush this, wait until the big strategy is decided." Schiller said, touching his chin.
And Bruce felt out of tune with them, he had a bad premonition, because he became a minority in terms of moral standards, and he would not have an advantage in the vote later.
"There is another difficulty." Bruce said, "We say it is for the good of the people of Gotham, but they may not think so. Whether it is the lower class or the gang, if we really want to touch their cake, I am afraid we will encounter fierce resistance."
Schiller nodded and wrote this down. The three of them discussed it for a while and finally classified all the problems into these three categories.
"First of all, if we want to reform, it will undoubtedly be like stabbing the gang. They can't help but resist. What method do you think will be better?" Schiller asked a question.
Alberto thought for a while and said, "I think we should not use too violent means. Although I also prefer to kill quickly, accurately and with one blow, if they are provoked and a strong counterattack is caused, in addition to the gangs, the people may also be harmed. Once the foundation is damaged, it will be difficult to make up for it."
Bruce paused and said, "I know that my views may be a bit radical, but I think violence may be the only means."
"Then you have not considered that under such rules, most people are related to the gangs. Once the means are too intense, it will inevitably cause a strong counterattack..."
Bruce paused, as if he was hesitating whether to say the next words, but after a long pause, he still said: "To fundamentally solve this problem, we must overthrow this system from the bottom with violent means."
"If you want to eliminate the class gap..." Bruce paused again, as if he felt that his words were a bit too explicit. He paused for a long time, but continued: "If you want to eliminate the class gap..." Bruce paused again, as if he felt that his words were a bit too explicit. He paused for a long time, but continued: "If you want to eliminate the class gap..." The class gap cannot be solved by top-down reform. Those who occupy resources will not give them up. Only violence will work. "
What Bruce did not expect was that Schiller's reaction was very calm. Schiller looked at Bruce and said, "In a sense, this is correct, but the question is who you are. Are you a proletarian?"
"I..." Bruce paused again. He had nothing to do with the word "proletarian" in his life. Schiller continued, "The reason why class contradictions can only be eliminated through violence is that capitalists will never wake up. Do you think you have woken up? The Wayne family must be completely torn apart before the corpses can be used to nourish everyone?"
"Or do you think that the people who tear up the Wayne family and distribute their corpses will be fairer and more capable than you?"
Bruce thought silently, and he suddenly realized that he was looking at the book from the wrong angle and forgot the biggest problem, that is, he is a big capitalist. There are still, or only, capitalists in the world who want to save the world.
If he keeps bringing himself into the lower classes, violence is indeed the only means, the flow of capital is always ruthless, greed is his most essential characteristic, any kind of capital can never wake up, and the class of capital represented by it can never wake up.
But Batman is indeed special, he is a man with a savior's heart, and the price he is willing to pay for it is beyond imagination.
Bruce Wayne read all the Marxist works last night, absorbing part of the content as his own thoughts.
What's more amazing is that when he read this kind of book, he actually brought in the lower classes, perhaps it is inseparable from his previous experience in the slums.
In any case, Batman is always a hero with compassion. His paranoid characteristics look very much like a mental illness when he has not found the right path and has no awareness.
But when he intends to go out of his own way, this will become a huge driving force and support, allowing him to resolutely carry out his will.
Bruce was silent for a long time, then he said: "I hope that I will be the one who changes Gotham City, not only because I want to control the city, but also because I don't trust other people."
Bruce took a deep breath, and no one could hear that his tone was trembling very slightly. He said: "Alfred often told me that people will change. I can't wait for a savior to appear at the bottom, nor can I expect him to be consistent."
"Of course you can do it yourself." Schiller concluded: "Besides, you think of yourself as too weak, so you overestimate the difficulty of this matter."
"First of all, you are not a Gotham citizen at the bottom, and you are not a gangster boss. These two experiences are just steps for you to understand the structure of Gotham, not all."
"If you really belong to these two classes, you need to first remove the shackles of the class on yourself, and then lead people of your class to break the rules, strive for dominance, and then carry out comprehensive reforms."
"But from beginning to end, you are Bruce Wayne and Batman. When these two identities are combined, you can completely skip this process."
"Jump?" Bruce frowned.
Schiller suddenly changed the subject and said, "Gotham has almost used up all the cards in its hand, but there is only one best card left to play."
