Chapter 2528: Xiao Xiao Down (XII)
After so many years, the Gotham Police Department not only has sufficient police force and equipment, but also has improved its technical means. At least their cutting technology is much better than that of this gang of robbers. The equipment used to saw trees is silent, and the robbers only discovered that the tree had been sawed off the moment the tree fell.
He looked towards the door in despair, but he didn't expect Schiller to make a gesture, indicating him to lie down. The robber reacted quickly enough and did not choose to bend down, but lay down on the spot. The sniper bullet almost grazed his scalp.
The robber ran out of the door, and Schiller still pointed the gun at him and said, "Now tell your accomplices to rush out from the back door after taking the money, and rush into the sewer under the canopy of the tree along the part blocked by the big tree."
Although the robber was not professional, he was not stupid. He knew that the sniper's shot missed. In order to prevent the robber from killing the hostages out of anger, the police must attack as soon as possible. If they didn't run, they would definitely not be able to escape because they didn't have any hostages at all.
Sure enough, Gordon didn't panic or get discouraged when he saw that the bullet missed. He just took out the intercom and said, "Attack immediately. Don't worry about the vault for now. Go to the second floor and rescue the hostages immediately!!"
There was a crackling sound downstairs, and it was obvious that the police rushed in. The robbers took advantage of the time Gordon had to arrange the task and took the elevator downstairs. At this time, several of their companions had already opened the vault door and were loading the money.
The robber that Schiller reminded was their leader. He quickly stopped several of his men who were still stuffing money into the sacks and led them to run towards the back door upstairs as fast as possible.
Of course, they were discovered by the police almost immediately. The leader of the robbers shouted that he still had hostages and held on to the technicians they had kidnapped. The others rushed out the back door quickly.
Of course the police knew that they were trying to break down the door and escape, so another team of people lying in ambush on the side of the bank immediately rushed over.
But the big sycamore tree that had just been cut down was just lying across the middle of the road. Its lush branches and leaves blocked most of the view, making it impossible for cars to pass and impossible for guns to aim accurately.
Originally, they could have gone around from the other side to deal with the robbers, but these robbers had no intention of running along the road. They rushed over, opened the manhole cover, and jumped in one after another.
By the time the police on the other side turned over, they had already disappeared into the sewer.
But even so, the police had to chase. Gordon sent two teams of police, one team entered from this sewer entrance, and the other team drove to a sewer entrance farther away to encircle the suspect.
However, they had never chased anyone in the sewers, so Gordon had to lead the team back to the police station to find a map of the sewers, and by the way, go to Wayne Group to ask Bruce whether the surveillance he had set up in the sewers was still working.
The nature of this case is extremely bad, because before this, the situation in Gotham was relatively stable. But once someone opened this loophole, allowing those people with declining living standards to discover that there is such a quick way to make money without paying any price, the situation would be completely messed up.
So Gordon decided to arrest the other party with lightning speed to deter those scoundrels who were still lurking in the dark, and naturally a large number of police forces were deployed to hunt down the fugitive robbers.
Just as Schiller expected, the robbed bank was basically left unattended. Apart from two policemen who came to check the condition of the door, all the employees were sent home.
After everyone left, Schiller walked to the balcony on the second floor. He looked down and saw a figure standing next to the fallen tree. It was the clown.
To be precise, it is Batman V's Joker, the movie version of the Joker played by Heath Ledger.
He was holding a remote control in his hand. He curled his lips and looked up at Schiller. Suddenly he showed a fierce expression, and then suddenly returned to calm.
"Good afternoon, Professor. Please forgive me for greeting you in this way... because you gave Bruce Wayne a very bad idea!!!"
Schiller leaned on the railing and listened to the clown's roar quietly. When the clown finished roaring, Schiller said: "First of all, I must tell you that the idea was not mine. I suffer from dissociative identity disorder, or split personality in ordinary people's words."
"I deeply regret that my alter ego has his own views on economics, and Bruce Wayne happens to agree with these views and is capable of putting them into practice."
The clown just stared at him gloomily, with the muscles of his mouth bulging upwards. Combined with the red paint on his mouth, he looked serious and funny at the same time, laughing and crying at the same time.
"Are you here to take revenge on me?" Schiller asked knowingly.
Before leaving, Batboy asked Greed for a plan, which was essentially used to solve his own financial situation. He wanted to gain more power from the Wayne Group and save some money for himself.
The main content of this plan is actually to use criminals to make money, build private prisons, acquire private hospitals, and then combine medical parole and prison parole, so as to achieve the goal of squeezing every penny of value out of the criminals.
Although it sounds a bit cruel, Batman's moral bottom line is not very high. In his opinion, exploiting the economic value of criminals is also a contribution to society.
It's just that he originally went for the gangster and had no intention of hurting the Joker. But at that time, the Joker had just robbed a bank, and he wanted to go to the prison to find Scarecrow to negotiate a deal so that he could continue to attack Batman, but he ended up falling into the hands of Batman.
You said it was a coincidence. In order to test whether the plan he got was feasible, the test version at that time was basically a 1:1 restoration of the plan. However, he was greedy and acted without any evil intentions, so he forced this group of unlucky guys to lie in the ambulance for several days and nights, unable to be admitted to the hospital or to prison.
So before the Joker wanted to teach Batman a lesson, Batman taught him a lesson first: I have money, I am powerful, and I can change the rules of the game at will.
The Joker isn't angry about the harm done to him, he's just angry that Batman saw and did that.
The Joker has always been despicable. Batman's morality confines him to a set of rules. The Joker uses his unethical means to break the rules to gain an advantage, but once Batman starts breaking the rules, the Joker will become angry and humiliated.
But facing Bruce Wayne, the Joker got angry. Before he found an effective way of revenge, he realized that this was not actually Batman's idea, but Batman had a mysterious staff.
In fact, Batman didn't hide anything at all. After all, as a contestant in the fighting world, Schiller's famous name could not be concealed at all. The Joker had naturally heard of it, but he didn't expect that Schiller, this so-called magical figure who was behind the planning of everything from alien invasions to the kicking over of street trash cans, was really a person of great reputation.
The Joker hates those who influenced Batman more than the changed Batman. At this time, the Joker from the main universe came to him because he learned of the existence of Maniac Laughter and wanted to form a Joker Team.
The Joker agreed to the main universe clown's request to join the team, but the prerequisite was that he had to come to Schiller's universe.
The clown from the main universe expressed that he was a little embarrassed. That universe was quite special and one could not enter it just because one wanted to. After some bargaining, the clown from the main universe finally agreed. The way he sent this clown over was to go directly to Bruce.
As everyone knows, Bruce has a clown collecting habit. He just brought Phoenix here, and now she is on a global tour. Even though he is very busy, he will warmly welcome any clown who wants to come and play.
But he didn't expect that the clown didn't come to play with him, but to find Schiller.
"You want to be a normal person, right?" The Joker put his hands in his wrinkled trouser pockets and said, "Or you can just transfer everyone in the bank."
"Then Gordon will realize it was me." Schiller shook his head and said, "All the supernatural phenomena in this city are assumed to be caused by me, so I want to be an ordinary person."
"No, no, no, of course not." The clown shook his head vigorously, and spit came out from between his lips. He said: "You think you have such ability that you can deal with all the troubles that ordinary people have to deal with."
"But it definitely doesn't include being involved in a bank robbery."
"Then what you should do is cry like the other employees and jump off the building and break your ankle."
"But if I do this, Gordon will just think that I am being tortured. Since they already have a prejudice against me, why can't I get out of this on my own?"
"Will ordinary people use this method to get out of prejudice?" The Joker snorted coldly and pointed out pointedly, "They will engage in meaningless arguments and fail to convince anyone, and then be misunderstood and face more troubles."
“I don’t think ordinary people are stupid.”
"They are, and you intend to keep company with them, wearing your damn human skin, enjoying their peaceful and boring lives while being unable to let go of your desire for control satisfied by your ability to influence others."
"Everyone has talent, right?" Schiller said, "Do I have to be an ordinary person with nothing to offer and live a life of failure?"
"But your talent comes from your illness, which is the main reason why you can't be an ordinary person. Are you really willing to give up both your talent and illness and become a stupid ordinary person who can't anticipate any troubles and can't control anything?"
Schiller was stunned for a moment, then his eyes began to blur, and then they focused slightly on the clown's face. He slowly said: "If we disappear one day, it doesn't mean that someone has given up on us, but that we got what we wanted, what Schiller wanted."
"Is it really what Schiller wanted? Or did someone say that Schiller wanted it, and you believed it?" said the clown.
Schiller remained silent and did not answer. After a while, he came back to his senses, and the state in which he had just said that sentence disappeared. He just looked at the clown and said.
"What I want is not determined by who says what, but by how much each person who wants to change me has to pay for it."
"Someone wants me to be an ordinary person, and they have made countless efforts for this, which I have never seen in my life. Since I don't want anything in the first place, why can't I have this?"
"And you, you didn't put anything into what you wanted me to be, you just paid lip service to it, why should I give up that for this from you?"
"Because what I said was right, of course."
"Do you think I'm Batman? Right or wrong has never been important. I never live by the truth."
“Isn’t it pathetic for a person to live for the expectations of others?”
“Comedy has never been the savior of tragedy.”
The snail rice noodle is really delicious.
