The wayward rich man talks about buying a madhouse, from the conference room in the Wayne Building to the hotel in Bruce Wayne's name.

Bruce Wayne is a celebrity, a playboy, a billionaire, and a gentleman in Gotham City, but no matter how much he can't deny the fact that he is a winner in life, and he also has a good looks, which always adds up to a lot of people to see.

Oh, how is it different today? I used to "go out on the street" with one or more female companions, but now I bring a male companion? However, Gotham City is not small, but it is not big, in a short period of time, Gu Qing's identity has spread, and the appearance of others has also been circulated.

Two handsome guys with their own merits appeared at the same time, and the eye-catching power was simply Max.

"Patrick, oh, you don't mind if I call you that, do you? I've heard that you Brits are not naturally good at being so enthusiastic in the first conversation, unless you're talking about the weather, am I right? Bruce Wayne spoke heartily.

"I guess it's up to whom, if it's a handsome and charming man like Mr. Wayne, I think it's okay to be reserved for the time being." Gu Qing said slowly, "So, Patrick is fine." ”

Bruce Wayne felt a subtle sense of being molested in his heart, but his expression was sincere and his tone was just right, and Bruce Wayne took it for a moment and regarded it as a normal communicative language. "Then don't call me Mr. Wayne, although I'm the only Wayne left in the Wayne family now, just call me Bruce. Patrick, how did you come up with the idea of coming to Gotham City? You know, even though I was born in this city, Gotham City, tsk-" He grinned and shook his head in disapproval of Gotham City.

"Um, what if I sue you because I hit a dart?"

Bruce Wayne: "......"

"It's just a joke, Bruce, and in fact the nickname "Cradle of Crime" in Gotham City attracted to me. To tell you the truth, I have been dedicated to the academic study of criminal psychology until now, and now I think it's time to put it into practice. Gu Qing said in a very innocent tone, "The criminal atmosphere in Gotham City is very strong, I think in Arkham Sanatorium, I will be very good #Apply what I have learned#." ”

"You can't have really seen a patient yet, right?"

"Of course not," Gu Qing denied without thinking, "Some time ago, I diagnosed the normal people who mixed in with the Arkham Sanatorium, and I have already opened it." ”

Bruce Wayne: "......"

"Bruce?" At this moment, a crisp female voice came, and Bruce Wayne immediately looked at the source of the voice, which was a young lady with an intellectual temperament. But they couldn't say anything, the young lady was greeted away by her colleagues, Bruce Wayne sat down with some disappointment, and was about to say the identity of the young lady, when he heard Gu Qing, who was sitting opposite him, say declaratively: "You like her." ”

Bruce Wayne frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" ”

"When you look at her, your pupils dilate, which shows that she has a sexual-attracting-gravitational attraction for you, and of course there is a possibility that you are addicted to Hi-Lo-in. Of course, we all know that the latter one may not be true. Oh, and if you're wondering, I can sue you and she likes you too. Well, that's interesting - Bruce, you're angry? ”

Bruce Wayne: "......"

"Because I'm right? Yes, you should be angry. Sorry, I couldn't hold back for a while, but can I say the last sentence? Given the unspeakable nature of this, I think you'd like to talk to a professional, and I think I'd be happy to help you with that. ”

Bruce Wayne: "...... Why? ”

"Huh? Do you mean why I say there's something unspeakable? I thought it was obvious. Gu Qing said slowly.

"Obviously?"

"You like each other, but you can't be together, excluding family reasons - you know the big family ethics drama, given that you are now the last Wayne, and you have an absolute controlling stake in Wayne Tower, obviously there is no need for marriage - such an exclusion seems to be between you. Of course, it may also be because of your fame, and it makes sense that a woman like the educated and idealistic woman just now would resist your pursuit because of this factor. ”

Bruce Wayne's face darkened, revealing his anger after being offended by Yan: "Mr. Holmes, do you know? I can write a check to buy this hotel that won't let me swim in the pool, but I can also buy your own shares in the Wayne Group just because you're upsetting me, and at the same time give you no place in Gotham City. "He played a rich and willful gentleman quite decently.

Gu Qing was puzzled: "Why?" Because I have praised your sweetheart? I don't see you're so possessive, Bruce. ”

Bruce Wayne: "......" was a punch that hit the cotton, bounced back and almost hit the wrist.

"You can rest assured that I am more interested in you than your sweetheart." Gu Qing's words made Bruce Wayne's eyes widen, and before he could say anything, Gu Qing added with an innocent face, "Because you are my potential customer, that lady is not, or you prefer to invest in Arkham Sanatorium." Trust me, Bruce, Arkham Sanatorium will become the premier nursing home in the nation. ”

Bruce Wayne: "......"

If you really want to describe the feeling of Young Master Wayne's close contact, the first one is definitely #tired, not love#-he has never been able to find the pulse of Gu Qing's way of thinking, and he has to take care of his brainless dandy's disguise, so he was led by Gu Qing all the way down; The second feeling is that Gu Qing's EQ is not saved, and Bruce Wayne's EQ is simply touching the world compared to his. No, this feeling can be attributed to the first one, it is precisely because of his incurable emotional intelligence that his erratic divine logic has been created.

Dealing with Gu Qing's "magic strokes" from time to time really took Bruce Wayne a lot of extra energy, but this did not prevent Bruce Wayne from making an in-depth assessment of Gu Qing. The new director of Arkham Sanatorium looked like an old English gentleman, after all, even the current England is hard to find a gentleman with a brass pocket watch. His appearance is also very deceptive, but his IQ is definitely not low, and his observation is absolutely first-class, and Bruce Wayne can naturally tell that he is only looking at Rachel - Master Wayne's sweetheart, Rachel Dawes, assistant prosecutor - from a distance, and not "you send us off" as he said at the time.

In addition, the other party is not as weak as he gives the impression of being weak, on the contrary, his muscles wrapped under his waistcoat and shirt are full of strength, which is definitely trained, and he is not an ordinary rich boy.

Master Wayne tried his best to determine the true purpose of the other party's visit to Gotham City, but ...... His rational judgment told him that the other party's statement that he came to Gotham City to #learntApplication# was true, but the irrational side refused to admit it. After all, even Bruce Wayne, who is willing to sacrifice himself and would rather incarnate as Batman to protect Gotham City, will not tell the truth that Gotham City has a bright future, even if Gotham City has survived a vicious battle now, it is still mired in the quagmire. In recent years, apart from criminals, there have basically been no normal outsiders, not to mention that this outsiders also want to "contribute to the bright future" of Gotham City!

Is it good for normal people to avoid it? How could anyone do the opposite?

As soon as Young Master Wayne told Alfred, a loyal butler, such an idea, Alfred reacted a little strangely: "Young Master Wayne, are you saying that you yourself are not a normal person?" ”

Young Master Wayne quickly reacted to what his housekeeper meant, and he defended: "My situation with him, we are different. ”

Alfred said lightly, "Really? ”

Young Master Wayne didn't immediately refute it, after all, Alfred was now restitching the wound on his abdominal collapse. Alfred's eyes flashed with obvious distress, and he said, "You are different, at least that Mr. Holmes did not get injured like you." Also, if he really wants to contribute to the recovery of Gotham City, as he himself said, I think it would be great. "If this is the case, then the young master of his family will work less hard, and let the housekeeper who has followed the Wayne family for three generations watch the children who have grown up in his care, and now he is so hard and forbearing, it is really sad.

"Of course, of course." Young Master Wayne smiled sincerely at the old butler, trying to escape from the old butler's nagging, "By the way, I noticed that he was wearing a ring on his left hand, I think it was a family ring, I will draw it in a while, you can see if you can match up with which big family." I'm not trying to do anything to him, I'm planning ahead. ”

Alfred did his best to bandage his young master's wounds, "Did I say anything?" ”

Bruce Wayne feels that his housekeeper doesn't love him as much as he used to, and at the same time, Master Wayne, who is lamented that "people's hearts are not ancient", is also being evaluated.

Gu Qing's evaluation of Young Master Wayne was very brief: "The potential value is nine. ”

Moriarty raised an eyebrow, "That's it?" I thought you had a great conversation. ”

"I think it's a pleasure." As for whether Mr. Bruce Wayne is happy or not, that's none of his business.

Moriarty, who understood the meaning of his words, was not so jealous, I don't know why, he has been jealous recently, probably because someone always makes him unhappy. Like now-

"Master, the information of all the patients in the nursing home has been collected." Eva's projection appeared in Gu Qing's office out of thin air, and after getting Gu Qing's affirmation, she pursed her lips and smiled. They still politely greeted Moriarty, who was reclining at the table: "Good afternoon, Mr. Moriarty." ”

Of course, the original smile is gone. But Moriarty felt that the differential treatment should not be too obvious, this was simply a cold face to him, as long as Gu Qing's little bastard didn't see it, or he didn't see it when he saw it, hum!

This is consulting criminals, Eva is an artificial intelligence, even after following Gu Qing, she has evolved independently and has human emotions, but the original setting of the people is there, the voice settings are all fixed codes, and whenever she speaks, it is the same mechanical tone, but Moriarty was stunned and heard the subtle differences.

- Well, there really is, but people are not allowed to have their own little feelings.

Gu Qing was about to stand up and go to see the information of the patients - as he said, it was still his side business to engage in economic construction or something, and his current job was the director of the sanatorium, responsible for treating the patients here - but Moriarty blocked his way, Gu Qing suddenly realized, and then leaned over...... Patted Moriarty on the shoulder, "Be a good boy, okay?" ”

Moriarty: "......"

Taking advantage of Moriarty's stunned efforts, Gu Qing left in style. As soon as he left, Eva naturally followed.

Moriarty's brows furrowed, his boyfriend seemed to be getting more lively? Just as he was thinking about it, he felt his ankle being arched, and Moriarty looked down and saw that he was facing M-o's orange-yellow square eyes, and then the shape of the eyes changed to "→_→", and before Moriarty jumped to his feet, he relentlessly cleaned the hallway.

Moriarty: "......" If this is not called exclusion, then what is exclusion!

……

In this daily situation, the reconstruction of the Arkham sanatorium was completed. Then, Gu Qing began to personally contact the patient.

The current patients of the Arkham Sanatorium have been streamlined on the basis of the original, and those who did not pretend to be sick have returned, and those who remain are really mentally ill. Most of them have criminal records, as Gu Qing said, Gotham City is the "cradle of criminals", and it is also the cradle of the mentally ill.

Among them, the more famous is "Scarecrow" Crane, who is very good at creating fear. In the previous fierce war, the Shadow Warriors Alliance used the poison he created to make people see the most fearful things in their hearts, trying to plunge the entire Gotham City into fear, and then lose themselves in fear and kill each other.

He's also the former director of Arkham Sanatorium, which is dramatic, isn't it?

Gu Qing likes drama, which is probably carved into his genes-

He crossed his fingers on the table, and the two rows of the conference table sat his patients-if you didn't look at the hospital gowns they were wearing, it really looked like they were having an elite meeting, the normal kind-Gu Qing took in their expressions, he didn't disguise this time, and the eyes containing infinite black holes swept them one by one, and after scanning the last patient, the conference room became silent, and even the sound of the needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Patrick Holmes. The reason I'm meeting you so late is because the Arkham Sanatorium has been rebuilt, and I think you're going to love it. So, in order to get to know each other better, let's play a game called "Escape from Arkham". After Gu Qing finished speaking, several projection screens appeared in the conference room, the kind of projection screens that can make people feel immersive.

Gu Qing pulled out the 3D model of the reconstructed Arkham Sanatorium from the screen and enlarged it, "Now what you see is the blueprint of our sanatorium, let's get to know it, given that you are now living in it." Um, I'd say that only a third of you have hallucinations as a side effect of your condition, so what you're seeing is real. ”

Because of the high-tech patients: "......"

"This is the rule of the game," Gu Qing pulled out the rules of the game and also enlarged them in the conference room, "Since none of you have dyslexia, this saves me from reading it out so that you can deepen your understanding." As you can see, I won't provide you with finished guns and ammunition, which will make the game less interesting. ”

The finished product will not be provided, but the parts do not say no, anyway, there are loopholes in the rules of the game.

"I don't understand what you're doing this for!" "Scarecrow" Klein is a handsome young man who wears glasses and looks normal.

"Hmm, are you asking me from a professional point of view?" Gu Qing tilted his head slightly to look at Brian, smiling in a friendly and harmless way—at least on the surface.

Crane nodded subconsciously.

"Jonathan Klein, I have to say, you're quite successful in psychology, and that can be seen in the "fear gas" that you create. ”

Klein: "...... But what? ”

"But the "fear gas" you create is not targeted and controllable, for example, in this game you can create a fear gas that makes the guards afraid of the glass, so that you can escape from your current hospital room. Well, that's just an enlightening idea, and I think you can work on it. ”

Klein: "...... Can I understand that you want to use me to create poison? You came up with this game to control us and use our expertise to create what you want! ”

"Hmm-" Gu Qing let out a monosyllable that was high and low in the front, and then the smile widened, and it gave people the feeling that it was becoming more and more dark and dangerous, and many patients felt that they were all tense, and the escape stress mechanism was in play. At this time, Gu Qing actually didn't need to say anything, they all deeply understood that Klein's speculation was nonsense, did such a person still need to use them? "A very reasonable inference, while wrong, is worth encouraging. Looks like you have the same concerns? ”

The others shook their heads in unison.

Klein: "......"

"Actually, Klein doesn't ask, I'm going to say it, I just want to see what security holes there are in the sanatorium I designed, #攘外必先安内#嘛, I don't want anyone to break into Arkham Sanatorium from the outside in the future. Um, I'm using your expertise. Gu Qing said it as a matter of course, none of the people present were ordinary people, but they understood Gu Qing's meaning very well.

Klein: "......, please, who else would have nothing to do with Arkham Sanatorium?" He thought for a moment and then pulled himself together and asked, "What if we escape?" ”

"Oh, that's the next game, maybe call it #The world is still Arkham is good#, I think you've already experienced it once." They were all let out before, and they wanted to go to the ends of the earth, but weren't they all captured by the Arkham Sanatorium? "So in order to experience it again, you have to work hard, don't let me down."

Patients: "......"

After Gu Qing left, they eagerly discussed, this game was very interesting in the eyes of most of them, and they thought more about it as a trial meeting, and those who were good would be recruited under their command, just waiting to do something bigger.

Klein: "......, hehe, their illness looks like they won't get better for the rest of their lives.

――Talking as if he wasn't sick.

Soon, patients who play the game #EscapeArkham# with great ambition will deeply appreciate how tricky this game is. You must know that the current Arkham Sanatorium was designed by Gu Qing, although the security force is weak, there is a high-tech formation, and Eva, an artificial intelligence, as the central processing unit, her tentacles can be described as ubiquitous, and she can mobilize the movable objects in the Arkham Sanatorium anytime and anywhere.

The patients of the Arkham sanatorium were confused internally, no, the more frustrated they were, the more courageous they became. After experiencing several failures, many people have given birth to a kind of success this time, and when they get out of the Arkham Sanatorium, no amount of swords and fires can stop their realization, or #What a painful realization#.

On the bright side, their professional skills are really becoming more and more proficient, and in order to overcome difficulties, they also take the initiative to learn other skills, and even from fighting alone at the beginning, to now small groups are cooperating, and this cohesion has gone up.

As for Klein, who held #Everyone is drunk and I wake up alone# at the beginning, he ...... He has innovated his "fear gas", which used to create the deepest fear of others, and now can make people afraid of things they didn't fear before.

However, there are too few living and real humans in Arkham Sanatorium, except for his patients, who cannot be said to be #Heroes are useless#. He had thought that no one would be bored enough to trespass on Arkham Sanatorium, and this flag was set up by him, and it was soon fulfilled.

That's right, someone broke in from the outside.

Unexpectedly, he was caught, and when Gu Qing came to see the first person to eat crabs, M-o was working hard to clean him...... of the face.
