Chapter 3329 Bloody New City (78)

Chapter 3329: Bloody New City (Seventy-Eight)

If Gray Mist hadn't been professional enough, Schiller would have suspected that the analysis was wrong. How could this be the ingredient of the Pale Knight's medicine?

The radiation emitted by this substance can even directly create cancer patients. How could the Pale Knight be fine after eating it for so long?

Then Schiller immediately realized that Harley Quinn must know something because she developed the drug.

He went to the hospital where Harley was.

Halle, who was already a little bit pregnant, was lying on the bed drinking milk. When Schiller came to visit, she did not show any surprise, but showed an expression of expectation.

"Are you going to ask me about the Joker and Napier?"

Schiller withdrew his question and nodded. He really wanted to know what was going on with the Pale Knight.

Haley rummaged through the drawer of her nightstand, handed Schiller a playing card, and said, "I promised him I'd never give up on him. And I did."

"It's a very touching love story, ma'am. I admire your perseverance and courage. But I don't know what's going on."

"Won't you take a closer look?"

Schiller looked at the playing card. It was tattered and the writing on it was very sloppy. It didn't look like it was written by the Pale Knight.

When Schiller was working in the municipal building, he saw the Pale Knight reviewing official documents. His handwriting was very beautiful, and it was obvious that he had practiced calligraphy.

Although the writing on this playing card bears traces of the Pale Knight's handwriting, it is obviously not that beautiful. The letters are all distorted, and you have to work hard to recognize what is written.

Schiller immediately realized what Harley was referring to.

If Napier had written this card before he became mentally ill, he would have written it very seriously. It is impossible to write it on such a casual card. At least it should be a love letter. After all, this is a promise to the one he loves.

But the handwriting on these playing cards is so sloppy and doesn't look like his style at all, which can only mean that they were probably written after he became ill.

But after Napier fell ill, he turned into the Joker, and it is impossible for the Joker to tell Harley Quinn not to give up on him, so the appearance of this poker card is very strange.

Schiller believes there is only one explanation for this, which is that the Pale Knight has always been there, but he cannot compete with the Joker for control of his body, so he cannot appear often.

It was he who kept asking Harley for help, so Harley found a way to make the drug to suppress the Joker.

"Do you know Jason?" Schiller asked, "He said you helped him when he was kidnapped by the Joker."

"Yes, I secretly replaced some of the torture instruments and gave him some painkillers to help him bear it."

"And you sent him away?"

Harley nodded and said, "Yes. Although the Joker didn't intend to kill him, he just dumped him in an alley. He wouldn't have survived that way. I found a way to send him to Blüdhaven."

"So you weren't crazy at all?"

Harley shook her head and said, "No. After Napier went crazy, I was indeed infected by the Joker's madness. But Napier woke me up. In order to save him, I pretended to be crazy and gained the Joker's trust."

"You also helped the Pale Knight imprison the Penguin, right?"

Harley did not deny it. She said, "Yes. I have a reliable friend in Blüdhaven."

Schiller did not continue to ask, because he could see that Harry did not want to talk. He just silently memorized the information and planned to check it later.

"Actually, I wanted to ask you about medicine."

"Medicine?" Harry frowned slightly.

"Yes, how did you develop that drug? Do you know the specific ingredients in it?"

Harley showed a slightly embarrassed expression and said, "Actually, I don't know anything about pharmacology. But I have plenty of opportunities to experiment."

She then told Schiller how she had developed the drug, using, in plain terms, the exhaustive method.

Harley ran into the drug storage room of Arkham Asylum and gave all the psychiatric drugs to the Joker, who didn't seem to worry about being cured. In order to see Harley's disappointed expression again and again, he ate them all.

In this way, Harley found several drugs that seemed to be effective, and used Batman to make the Joker take a large amount of them at once. Unexpectedly, they really worked.

But when Schiller asked about the specific names of the drugs, Harley couldn't tell them. It was obvious that she didn't know much about pharmacology and couldn't remember the names of those complicated drugs at all.

In order to find out the truth, Schiller went to Arkham Asylum again. Fortunately, the camera in the drug storage room was not broken. He found the video of Harley looting the drugs from the numerous surveillance footage.

At that time, Harley was still wearing the exaggerated Harley Quinn costume, but she did not behave like a madman. Her movements were very agile and she was careful not to touch other things.

However, it was during this video that Schiller discovered something strange. Harley Quinn casually took two jars of unknown substance from under the shelf against the wall. They didn't look like modern medicines, but she didn't look closely at the time and put them in the box and took them away.

Schiller went to the medicine storage room in person and found that there was still one can of this thing left, placed at the bottom of the shelf at the edge of the medicine storage room. After opening it, the contents looked a bit like mud.

No wonder Gray Fog didn't find this thing when he scanned the storage room. It just looks like dirt and doesn't look like medicine at all.

But when Schiller poured the soil out, he discovered that the color of this soil was darker than the common soil in Gotham. It was indeed a bit like the special substance they found in the instrument after it was ground into powder.

Just as Schiller was thinking about what was so special about this thing, he suddenly remembered the map of Arkham Asylum.

He returned to the office upstairs, picked up the sample of the trap booklet, opened the map on the last page and examined it carefully.

If he remembered correctly, in the comics, the Joker discovered the remains of General Arkham and the truth of that year in the cell under Arkham Castle.

In other words, General Arkham was buried here. But according to the truth, there was another person buried here. That was Edmund Wayne who was killed by Bakar.

There are two bodies in the bottom prison, one is General Arkham and the other is Edmund Wayne. Edmund Wayne's body is buried deeper, while General Arkham's body is on the ground.

Just think about it and you will know that this is not right. It was Edmond who killed General Arkham, which means that General Arkham died first and Edmond died later. How could Edmond be more deeply buried than General Arkham?

Could it be that after Bakar killed Emond, he first dug out General Arkham on the surface, buried Emond in a deeper place, and then put General Arkham back?

Stacked burials are not popular in the United States, so why would Bakar do such a thing? You can't expect these two old enemies to continue to tangle in hell, right?

Schiller had the same doubts when he watched the film, but he thought that the screenwriter sacrificed some logic to keep the suspense. Now that I think about it carefully, there are too many problems.

Schiller took a map and a flashlight and went to the underground prison in person. Then he found that there were quite a lot of cells inside, and it was impossible to tell which cell it was based on the comic storyboard.

He searched for a long time before he finally found some clues in the cell in the corner, and successfully found the leg bone of General Arkham that appeared in the comics.

He didn't need any professional equipment to see that this was General Arkham's bones. He then used the gray fog to check the ground and found a more complete body. Judging from the size, it was Edmund Wayne.

If nothing unexpected happened, this guy's soul should have fallen into Itlegan's hands. But there was nothing to say about the contract he signed himself. However, it was too unreasonable for his body to appear here.

In those days, this place was not a prison. It was far away from Gotham Village and the city center of Gotham City. It must be a deserted place. It was impossible for Bakar to duel with Edmund here.

So who brought Edmund's body here and buried it?

Although it is a little unbelievable, after eliminating all possibilities, only one possibility remains - General Arkham.

General Arkham brought Edmund's body here, buried him, and died here himself.

Schiller stood in the middle of the cell and seemed to see a tall man digging a grave. A corpse lay at his feet. It was Edmund Wayne.

After a while, he threw the body into the grave and filled it with soil. Then he sat in the cell, leaning against the wall quietly, and turned into a handful of dry bones as time passed.

Later, the people who built Arkham Asylum discovered the unidentified corpse, but because it looked very old, they ignored it and simply dug a shallow pit and threw the corpse in, then piled bricks on the floor.

In Schiller's recollections, this absurd speculation became more and more reasonable.

Because it was Edmund Wayne who killed General Arkham, and Bakar was not involved, then only Edmund knew whether General Arkham was dead or not.

Moreover, judging from Edmund's subsequent actions, he saw through the conspiracy of the Order Cult. Did he see through it himself? Or did someone tell him?

Schiller suspected that General Arkham's so-called corruption was just a disguise. He may have long been aware of the Order's plot against Gotham Village, and told Edmond Wayne the truth when he came to challenge him.

This made Edmond Wayne completely terminate his cooperation with the Order and find the East India Company to compete with it. Then he made a deal with the demon Itlegan and built a dam to flood Gotham Village, all to prevent the prophecy from coming true.

But why did Edmond choose to let General Arkham bring his body here? What is so special about Arkham Asylum?

"I think I know," Gray Mist said, "Come with me."

The gray mist gradually sank to the floor, passing over Edmund's grave and continuing downward.

Soon, a huge dark hole appeared in front of Schiller. In the hole, he saw countless black crystals that looked like the special substance in the instrument, densely clinging to the soil and spreading outward from the center.

This is a huge meteorite crater.

There are too many pits in this magazine. I will fill them up
