Chapter 3284 Bloody New City (33)
Chapter 3284 Bloodshed in New City (Thirty-three)
As the saying goes, one person's bad luck is bad luck, but a group of people's bad luck means happy times have begun.
Batman's mentality has undergone some subtle changes after Superman appeared. To sum it up in a more down-to-earth way, it's probably: "I'm sorry, buddy, but you have to come and see this."
For most people, "this" usually refers to a pile of manure on the side of the road, extremely sour fruit, firecrackers that are about to explode, etc.
However, due to Superman's strength, these things can't bring him any surprises. But with Schiller, it's different. It has the properties of the above things at the same time, and it's a super-powered version. Superman may encounter the first prank in his life.
Superman slowly landed on the balcony of Wayne Manor. He pushed open the window door, frowned at Batman and said, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly call me and hang up? I thought you were in danger."
Batman just glanced at him and walked back to his seat, hoping that Superman could read from his brain waves that "I am indeed in danger, and this danger is standing in front of you now."
But unfortunately, Superman did not understand. He just looked at Schiller with some curiosity. Schiller was also looking at him.
This wasn’t the first time Schiller had seen Superman, but it was the first time he had participated in an event involving Superman. It was still a very novel feeling.
No mastermind would want to face an opponent like Superman, because his power is too unreasonable. Almost no conspiracy will work on him. And it is very difficult to control such a strong man with a strong sense of justice.
Superman's simple moral values are very difficult to change. Verbal brainwashing is ineffective on him. A head-on confrontation is even more stupid. In order to make him do things willingly, we must ensure that the matter is just, and not only the result is just, but also the process cannot be flawed.
It was challenging, but Schiller was ready for it.
"What are you talking about?" Superman seemed to realize that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange and began to become alert. His alertness was mainly directed at Schiller. Some kind of super intuition made him want to instinctively stay away from this person.
"I was planning to convince Batman to pay a member of the party involved in an arms smuggling case to get him a seat as a congressman to hand over to the super criminal Penguin. He just agreed before you came, and we are discussing the details."
Batman spit out a mouthful of water.
He was already subconsciously trying to get the kryptonite from his belt, because he couldn't think of any reason why Superman wouldn't blast him with a laser after hearing this.
As expected, Superman looked over with disapproval.
Great, now Batman is the pile of shit on the side of the road, the super sour fruit, and the firecracker that is about to explode.
Batman suddenly realized that Schiller's logic of shirking all responsibilities made sense. This allowed him to clear himself completely when facing Superman and others, while leaving others speechless.
For example, if Batman now says that Schiller was involved, how was he involved?
A congressman needs to be elected because the state legislature is aggressive, and the state legislature's bad attitude is because Gordon alone eats up a large sum of money without giving them any.
Gordon ate a large sum of money by himself because the Charaban family was in crisis. The Charaban family was in crisis because of the chemical plant explosion. The chemical plant explosion was committed by the New Joker.
Another reason is that the natural forest was polluted. The natural forest pollution incident was exposed because Batman wanted to make trouble for Chalabang so as to gain an advantage in the bidding for GTO.
The reason why GTO needed to auction itself off was that the municipal funds were running out of money to support their operations. And the municipal funds were running out of money because the Pale Knight had offended too many people by implementing the Napier Act.
But I dare not push forward any further.
The one who implemented Napier's Act was the Pale Knight, and the Pale Knight appeared because Batman fed the Joker an overdose of drugs.
If Batman hadn't beaten the Joker, the Pale Knight wouldn't have appeared, and there wouldn't have been a series of subsequent troubles. In the end, after much pushing and pulling, it was Batman who was the culprit.
Now Batman understood why Schiller always said this.
"Of course, Mr. Superman, you have to listen to Batman's explanation. He has his reasons for doing this..."
"No, no matter how legitimate your reasons are, you can't push an evil super criminal into the position of senator. Many people will suffer!" Superman looked at Batman in disbelief.
Batman was also a little confused.
Although he may be responsible for pushing this matter back and forth, now that Superman knows the plan, Superman's sense of morality makes it impossible for him to carry out this plan.
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
So does Schiller want this plan to go ahead, or does he not want it to go ahead?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Superman, we had already put this plan into practice before you came." Schiller said with embarrassment, "After what you said, I deeply realized my mistake. But it seems a little late now, what should I do?"
Superman finally retracted his angry gaze towards Batman, looked at Schiller, sighed helplessly and said: "I know you must have encountered a huge trouble, so you have to take such measures. But even so, you can't be so reckless."
"But it's a good thing to realize your mistakes. Since you made a mistake, there's always a chance to correct it. I'll help you, too."
Superman stood there thinking for a moment, then looked at Batman and said, "Don't you have any additional plans?"
Schiller pretended to be shocked and said, "What? You didn't know?"
Superman quickly looked towards him.
"Ah, sorry, Mr. Batman, I didn't mean to reveal your privacy, but I think you can't keep it a secret from your good friend forever. Friends should help each other..."
"What? Batman? What are you hiding from me? Are you in any trouble?! I was on a business trip to the Baltic Sea some time ago. Is there something I don't know???"
Schiller sighed again, hesitating to speak.
Batman just sat there and watched him perform.
"Alfred has passed away," Schiller said. "That's why I wanted to come back to attend the memorial service. Let me introduce myself. My name is Schiller Rodriguez, and I'm a psychiatrist."
Superman reached out to shake his hand, but his shocked eyes fell on Batman. He immediately walked towards Batman after letting go of his hand and said, "How could you not tell me such a big thing?!"
Batman turned his head away. He really couldn't stand Superman's aggrieved look, as if he had done something against the law.
"That's not all," Schiller continued. "Batman was overly sad, and someone took advantage of his situation and framed him, which led to him going to jail and ruining his reputation. He almost couldn't get out."
Superman took a deep breath and looked at Batman with an even more aggrieved look. Batman was on pins and needles.
But soon Superman's eyes became firm, and he said: "I know you don't want to make me worry, it's okay. I'm not busy recently, so I can accompany you. I haven't been to the bar in Gotham yet, let's get drunk tonight!"
Now it was Batman's turn to look at Schiller with a look of help. What kind of good man would drink with the sun and not come back until he was drunk?
Schiller walked over to the table, leaned over it and said, "You really should have a drink with him. He's been under a lot of stress lately. Although he's adamant about not taking any psychological tests, I've seen that he has some early signs of depression. That's not a good sign."
Superman's gaze was so hot that Batman felt that the kryptonite in his hand was useless.
"So, don't bother with our plan. No one would make such a stupid move unless they were forced into a desperate situation." Schiller put all the blame on Batman with just a few words.
Batman watched as Superman showed a hesitant expression. He really wanted Superman to wake up, but his reason told him that Clark would fall for it.
"Don't worry," Superman said, "It's never too late to make amends. How far have you progressed with your plan?"
"The Penguin has been released," Schiller said. "In fact, objectively speaking, he does have the potential to become a political rookie. Judging from his talent alone, he can become an excellent politician."
Superman was not the kind of person who followed prejudice. Although he did not like criminals, he had to acknowledge their talents. So he nodded.
"The only problem is that he has no moral values, always does things out of line, and doesn't take ordinary people's lives seriously. I'm discussing with Batman how to restrict him."
Superman understood immediately, and he said, "Where is he most likely to be now? I'll go find him and warn him not to mess around!"
"Oh my God, you are really willing to help?!" Schiller pretended to be surprised, and then said, "That would be great if that's the case. Batman really can't stand the fatigue. If you can keep an eye on him during this time, I can give Batman some psychological counseling and make him healthy soon."
Before Batman could say anything, Superman grabbed his hand and said with a guilty look on his face: "I'm sorry, Bruce. I was wrong to ignore you some time ago. I didn't expect you to go through so many unfortunate things alone. I wish I could come back earlier."
"But it doesn't matter, just take a good rest. Leave the task of keeping an eye on that damn criminal to me. I'll make sure he doesn't do anything bad!"
What can Batman say? He is afraid that if he gives a thumbs up, Superman will think he is too sad and crazy.
So he could only nod in cooperation.
Superman came with a lot of worries and left with a sense of mission. Schiller stood at the window sill, watching his back flying farther and farther away, and he lit a candle for the Penguin in his heart.
"Letting the Penguin out and paying him to get out? I don't have any good intentions." Schiller muttered to himself as he closed the balcony door. "He'd better work hard, or he'll be roasted."
Schiller turned his head and saw Batman's death stare. He said nothing, but sat back in his seat and poured himself a glass of wine.
"You're meaner than I thought," Batman said.
Schiller put away his smile, looked at Batman and said, "Your body language tells me that you feel good about being cared for and helped by your friends, Mr. Lonely Island."
Batman froze.
Happy New Year's Eve everyone!!! Happy New Year!!!
