Arkham Asylum, its full name: Elizabeth Arkham Psychopathic Crime Asylum!

It is located in a hidden woods on the outskirts of Gotham City, and is heavily defended and operated by the Wayne Group. Its internal hardware facilities are also very complete and sophisticated, and the funds are sufficient, it is an unusual madhouse, and it is not known to ordinary ordinary citizens.

Because ah, in this mental hospital, this research center for abnormal human beings, most of the prisoners it holds are extremely dangerous high-IQ criminals! It can be said that all the well-known villains who were defeated and captured by Batman were almost all sent here by Batman in the end!

Among them, the insanity is now being held here, including the infamous 'Joker', and other extremely dangerous characters!

It's fair to say that all the people who are being held here are a bunch of heinous fellows who can be sent to the gallows or electrocution benches!

But, in the end, they were all sent to this prison-like madhouse......

Regardless of what Batman is for, whether he is motivated by personal desires, or to show off his personal merits, or something else, in the end, those criminals who have killed countless people and caused countless tragedies have escaped the law and imprisoned here in the name of a ridiculous 'psychopath' under the powerful interference of his Batman and his Wayne group.

After all......

The mentally ill do not have to bear legal responsibility, which is a normal legal principle that the whole world needs to abide by, isn't it?

As for the normal people who have been physically assaulted by the 'mentally ill' during their illness, whether they are dead or injured, or other ..... for example, those poor fellows who have lost their loved ones, family members, friends, and even their own lives under the attack of the 'mentally ill', I am afraid that they can only cry in the bed, or consider themselves unlucky in the hell of the devil and the heaven of God!

A single word of 'psychopathy' can allow those heinous fellows to escape justice, and then be imprisoned in the luxurious Arkham Asylum, in the abnormal human research center funded and controlled by Batman's Wayne Group...... Whether this kind of thing is reasonable or not, I'm afraid, only the Batman who sent countless criminals, and even filled most of Arkham Asylum, will he know?

At this moment, in the observation room of one of the patient interrogation rooms of the Arkham Asylum, in this small room separated by soundproof and reflective single-sided glass, two men in suits and leather shoes were standing close together, talking to each other, as if talking about something.

One of them, who appeared to be a middle-aged man with a straight build, and the other, an old man with glasses and silver hair, was arguing in a low voice as they watched the situation in the interrogation room, the 'patients' and the doctors and security guards in the interrogation room.

“……”

"Are you really sure, sir, that you have to do that?"

"I know I can't sway your opinion, but ...... I still have to warn you here: that guy is very dangerous, and if he is really let out, none of us can guarantee what he will do, and when the time comes, I'm afraid it will ......."

I'm afraid of what, the old man with glasses didn't say it explicitly, but the deep worry and hesitation in his words could be seen by anyone.

However, there were only two people in the observation room now, and the person he was trying to persuade did not seem to be very willing to listen to him, as was evident from the frowning brow and the face that had never changed.

"Alfred ......"

"We've got to do that, you know, Gotham City has been getting messy lately, we need him, we need him to go out and clean up those guys!"

"I'm sure if we officially let him out and be heard by the guys, the kind of situation we want to see happen! I want him to do that, and the guys will force him to do that, and ...... He'd love to do that, too! ”

"I know him as well as he knows me......"

With his hands propped up at the front desk of the observation room, and behind the one-way glass, the middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes stared at the 'mentally ill man' in the interrogation room with fluffy green hair and the strange clown face with an evil aura painted by the paint that the other party had gotten from.

This thing, he had decided, he had to do it......

Over the years, he has been on the front lines of the fight against crime in Gotham City, capturing countless deranged dangerous people, and he has never killed any of them, except that he managed to get them here, in Arkham's prison-like mental hospital.

Because, he firmly believes, this particular institution of his has the ability to keep those dangerous people here until the end of their lives...... In doing so, he can save them from being tried by the authorities and dying, or have the opportunity to escape sanctions and continue to poison other ordinary people, so he has always felt that what he has done over the years is actually very good?

Originally, the 'clown' with the clown face painted on the interrogation chair handheld by the guards in the interrogation room, he planned to keep the other party in custody, however, now things have changed, so trying to let the other party out now may have greater and more benefits than continuing to detain the other party?

Of course, he had thought about what kind of evil consequences would be caused by letting the other party out, but the other party could be said to be one of the few strong drugs that could deal with the chaos of Gotham City now, even though this strong medicine would bring serious side effects, but perhaps, this was his only hope......

At most, when the time comes, he will spend more time on his own, and strive to keep an eye on the other party at all times, if he keeps an eye on it himself, presumably, then he will definitely be able to control the other party's harm within a controllable range, right?

"I reserve my opinion......"

"Only, I hope you don't regret it in the future...... To be honest, I still think that guy is dangerous, even more dangerous than the guys with superpowers...... If you just let him out this time, when the time comes, in case you accidentally ......"

Saying this, the old man named Alfred, who had glasses and a gray head, did not speak, but sighed softly, and stood behind the man in the middle of the suit, and looked at the 'clown' in the interrogation room with an evil clown face painted with a little sorrow and vigilance, and kept sneering, not knowing what he was thinking.

In fact, in his Alfred's opinion, if this is his decision, the guy inside would be better to directly give the other party a dose of euthanasia poison, so that the hateful guy will die forever in this 'mental hospital', and never be let out to harm others!

“……”

"Alfred, he's been out once, and it's not easy for us to lock him up, are we?!"

Smiling, the middle-aged man in a suit withdrew his hands propped up on the front desk of the observation room and began to hold his arms, patiently waiting for the doctors and staff in the interrogation room to perform the final procedures and tests on the 'clown'.

Although, this test today is not important......

Because ah, the 'clown' who has killed countless people, caused countless terrorist attacks, gang fights and bombings, he will soon be diagnosed by the doctor from a very serious late-stage schizophrenic and severely violent 'mentally ill' to a 'cured' 'mentally normal' recovered patient, and will be re-released to Gotham City and return to that place full of crime.

"Hmm......"

"If you think about it, it seems like that's what you're talking about?"

Alfred was no longer going to convince his 'gentleman', for he knew that his 'gentleman' would never kill the 'clown' who was being chained to the interrogation chair at this time, because they needed him, and that's all!

And even if it is not needed in the future, I am afraid, at most, it is just that the other party needs to be re-arrested and imprisoned, in the name of another 'psychopath', such as ...... 'psychotic relapse', and needs to be re-treated?

"Alfred, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

"Just as we need the courage of 'Batman' to fight against all evil forces, we also need 'Joker' to remind us of the existence of 'evil' and the limits of 'good'."

"Even if the boundaries between them aren't so obvious?"

At this point, the man in the suit with a serious face stopped, first turned his head to look at the old man behind him for a moment, and then turned around again, looking deeply at the 'clown' in the interrogation room.

"The fight between 'Joker' and 'Batman' will last forever......"

"Just as we humans have to face the eternal struggle between good and evil in our hearts? Originally, the two sides of this war were not distinct, but good and evil, entangled with each other...... As long as we are willing to believe that the existence of 'Batman' can solve all the problems we face, then we will be fine! ”

"It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, whoever can catch a mouse is always a good cat!"

"What we are doing now is not a right or wrong thing, but the most appropriate ......"

After saying that, whether it was the middle-aged man in the suit or the old man with glasses, they no longer spoke, but began to stand in the observation room, watching the situation in the interrogation room.

Because, the preparations of the doctors and security personnel inside have been completed, and now, it is about to be the interrogation stage after the mouth! Although, the outcome of that interrogation is already predestined, but ...... The necessary procedure to fool outsiders still has to go through.

After all, they are the ones who make the rules, and using the rules to achieve their various goals is the most desired outcome for people like them, rather than trampling on everything they have formulated at will! And those who can do that, or think like that, and act recklessly, are doomed to be the kind of ignorant reckless and humble fools!!

A doctor in a white coat and an assessor from a relevant department nodded and looked at each other, then tacitly put their folders on the interrogation table, and then sat down together and began the routine patient examination with a hideous expression in front of the 'clown' with a hideous expression across from them, under the protection of four security personnel.

"Name?"

The doctor in the white coat opened his folder and looked at it, then asked casually without raising his head.

Obviously, he himself doesn't seem to take today's events too seriously?

"Hey! See? ”

"You already know my name, don't you, why do you ask?"

Squinting, looking at the pistols and electric batons on the waists of those guards with some greed, he struggled twice, and found that he really couldn't easily struggle with this kind of interrogation chair designed to interrogate dangerous prisoners, and the 'clown' simply tilted his head and sat honestly in the chair, just casually responding to the doctor's questions on the other side.

He was very unhappy with the actions of these guys who interrogated him today! Especially, behind that one-way glass, I wonder who is secretly observing themselves?

As for who is going to interrogate him, and who is hiding behind that glass and doesn't know what to look at him, he 'clown' is very interested! He was going to make a good guess from the reactions of these people to him, the questions they asked him, and the purpose of his interrogation today, to see if he could guess correctly.

"Name it!"

The white-coated psychiatrist's pen stiffened suddenly, and then he quickly raised his eyes and urged in a somewhat impatient tone.

"Hey! Can you give me that pack of cigarettes in your pocket? ”

"What I saw, in the left pocket of your white coat...... And, of course, the lighter, if you can, can you give it to me along? ”

"Rest assured, I've already studied the gas pipes and the storage room for flammable and explosive materials in this broken Arkham place, and I've calculated how to blow this place into ruins...... But, I dare to swear to that ridiculous God, I will never go and set them on fire......"

"At least...... Not yet? ”

The clown in the interrogation chair grinned and gestured to the doctor's pocket with his eyes, as if the other party was really going to give him the contraband inside.

Although he only cracked his mouth a little, his 'clown' face made the two interrogators and the four guards present have a creepy feeling, and even the temperature seems to have dropped several degrees, so that one of the guards, who is a little timid, unconsciously touched the handle of the Beretta 92F pistol on his waist.

“……”

Name ......

The doctor put down the pen in his hand, and it was clear that his patience was running out of patience.

At this time, the evaluator, who seemed to be a staff member of the relevant department of the federal government, also hugged his arm with great interest, leaned deeply on the back of his chair, and did not make a sound, as if he wanted to take a serious look at today's farce.

"Perhaps, you can call me a 'clown'?"

"You've seen this face of mine, it's been so hard for me to come to this, you can't force me to wash it off anymore! You may not know that it wasn't easy for me to steal that Halle's lipstick and makeup powder, which can hold its color longer than blood? ”

Remembering how he had ripped off the finger of one of the hapless men and used the other's blood to make up during the recent brawl among the 'psychopaths', the 'clown' gave a small reminder to the doctor and the other interrogator across from him.

“……”

"Jack, are you challenging my patience?"

Finally, with a wave of the cold-faced doctor's hand, one of the security guards pulled out the baton on his waist and pressed a switch on it, causing the baton to spark with a little electric spark, and then took two steps forward to approach a 'psychopath' who was locked to a metal interrogation chair and could not move.

"Huh? You see, you know my name, so why do you ask? ”

"Are you just trying to see my face today?!"

Seeing the security personnel, and seeing the guard stepping forward with a baton, the clown who didn't want to suffer that kind of senseless torture had no choice, so he could only say a few soft words, indicating that he temporarily surrendered and admitted defeat.

“……”

"I really want to keep you scoundrel in that damp and dimly lit confinement cell, so that you can pull all the and pee of the day into your crotch!"

The guard turned his head to look at the doctor, and without receiving the order, he cursed and turned off the baton switch again, and returned to his previous position.

And the confinement chamber he just talked about was actually a place like a pipe that only allowed people to stand, and it was the most effective tool they used to punish these villains! There, not only was there no sound, there was no light, but even the prisoners who were imprisoned couldn't even raise their hands and turn around and squat!

"You can't do that!"

"Because when the time comes, I'm usually going to either eat them in one bite or ...... Will you take it out and paste it directly in the face of you guys?! ”

Obviously, being locked up in a 'confinement cell' is not something the clown is willing to bear.

“……”

"There's a limit to my patience, especially when it comes to you lunatics!"

The doctor in the white coat was obviously impatient, if he didn't know that there was a big boss in the observation room behind him, I'm afraid, he had already started to ask the guards to give each other a good look, right?

"Hah!"

"Are there crazy people here? My dear, it seems that your brain is not quite normal, it can't be affected by us, right? ”

"But ......"

"I swear to God, I won't be the one who made you like you!"

The clown was thinking urgently, he didn't understand, what were these guys' plans to get themselves here today?!

“……”

"Alright, Jack! Let's do a test now, and if you pass the test, you can go out later. ”

Finally, the doctor, who felt that this was a waste of time and did not plan to continue to entangle with the other party, after glancing at his companion next to him, pulled out a piece of paper from his folder, walked to Jack the Clown, who was locked in the interrogation chair, and directly stuffed the small A4 paper and a pen into the other party's hand.

“！！”

"It's really strange that you want to take the initiative to let me out? The last time I snuck out, didn't you say you were going to lock me up for a hundred years? ”

Looking at the A4 paper and pen in his hand, the clown's face was full of incredulity.

"Is it ......?"

"What are your intentions?"

If the other party wants to come up with some bad idea to fix himself or beat himself up, the clown may believe it, but ...... Now that he said that he was going to let himself out, then he would definitely not believe it!

“……”

"You really don't want to go out?"

Now, it's the doctor's turn to be a little incredible.

He knows better than anyone whether these 'patients' are crazy or not, but it is the first time he has seen them who don't want to go out like the other party now.

"Humph!"

"I can go out by myself if I want to, you can't stop me...... But now I don't want to, because it's very good here, all the people you are locked up here are talented, they are very interesting, they talk funny, I like it here, I feel like I'm staying with my family......"

"Except for you guards and doctors?"

The other party takes the initiative to let himself out, that must be uneasy and kind! So, the clown doesn't plan to let these people's plot succeed so quickly without the same reason!

"Humph!"

"Jack! Based on our observations...... Your 'mental illness' is basically cured, so you only need to solve these questions at the end, and as long as you pass the score, you can go out. ”

The doctor reached out and dotted on the A4 paper full of twenty test questions, then pushed it in front of the clown in the interrogation chair, and motioned for the other party to hurry up and answer.

Originally, if the other party cooperated, their process today might be a little more formal?

But......

Since the other party is unwilling to cooperate now, then he can only make do with it casually, and then drive the other party away directly!

“……”

"You really have an intention, I think it's better for me not to go out?"

Despite that, the clown quickly drew a pen on the answer sheet, and didn't even look at the questions a few times.

"That's it!"

"I promise, it must have been a terrible score......"

He answered casually, and he didn't even see the question clearly, so the clown felt that if he could pass, it would really be a problem, and a big problem!

“……”

Now, it's the doctor's turn to be a little embarrassed......

He chose the 20 easiest questions, but ...... The other party replied like this, what should he do? This kind of thing, if it is judged to be qualified, it will inevitably be fake, and it will be against his 'principle'!

"Give him a ......"

At this moment, a man with only the lower half of his face and his suit on his body suddenly appeared from the observation room where part of the reflective glass was raised, and spoke out loud.

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing the voice, the doctor finally stopped being entangled, snatched the answer sheet from the clown's interrogation chair, walked directly to his seat with a black face, and began to sketch quickly on it.

“……”

"Sure enough......"

"I know you ......"

Seeing the man who appeared in the observation room with a face that could not be seen clearly, the clown's face was shocked at first, and then quickly changed to a look of understanding.

"Yes......"

"I know you...... Look at you...... You have been hiding in the darkness and thinking you are a knight of justice...... Huh-huh...... I should have thought of ......"

"Now, tell me, why did you suddenly show that half of your face to me? Tell me why......"

Looking at the half of his face, the clown seemed to have understood something.

Think about it, a person who grabbed himself here with his own hands and ruined his career with one hand, and then now, the other party wants to let himself out, for this matter, he is not a fool, he always vaguely understands a little bit of something.

But......

It's not easy to break free!

"Used to taunt you!"

A cold voice blurted out, and then the figure in the observation room turned around and walked away, not giving the clown a chance to continue asking questions, leaving only a footstep that disappeared outside the door and walked farther and farther away.

The seal is stamped on the document.

"Jack! Congratulations, you have been discharged from the hospital!! ”

"By the way, the news of your discharge seems to have been known by your people, and outside the hospital, there is someone waiting to pick you up?!"

Waving a written notice of the patient's 'recovery' and discharge from the hospital stamped with the hospital's official seal and his own signature, the doctor in the white coat smiled as if relieved and showed off to the clown.

“……”

"Tsk!!"

"Interesting! It seems that Gotham City may not be too calm right now? ”

......

Yes, the clown guessed right......

At the time of his release, when a man in a suit was having a headache with the chaos of Gotham City's underworld and chose to release the Joker, the 'Men in Black' forces that had spread from Nachonel City had quietly arrived in the city......
