Chapter 579: Robbing a bank with a clown
When Rorschach returned to Gotham City, the local newspapers devoted the most space to the shocking news - the attack on Arkham Asylum and the flight of a large number of dangerous mentally ill people!
Rorschach had known the news for a long time, but what he didn't expect was that Jim Gordon, who had just been promoted to police chief, would come to visit him in person because of this incident.
Rorschach has some respect for the legendary detective who was able to stand up for his principles in Gotham City and survive. People like Gordon, in addition to luck, can't survive the current situation if they don't have any skills, and they would have died on the streets if they had replaced others.
"Director Gordon, why bother you to come to the door in person."
Rorschach made Gordon a pot of fine bilophim, but he didn't seem to like the taste of Chinese tea, so he just took a shallow sip and put the cup down.
"Mr. Rorschach, you've read the newspapers, and you should know that dozens of patients at Arkham Asylum have escaped. These people are very dangerous psychopaths, and most of them are very aggressive, so I am here to remind you to pay attention to your safety in the near future. Gordon said to Rorschach in a heavy tone.
"Director Gordon, you're here to remind me of this? Seems like a bit of a fuss. Rorschach said curiously.
"It's not a big fuss, except for Mr. Rorschach, I will visit all the rich people in Gotham City one by one, I hope they can pay enough attention." Gordon explained.
"The mentally ill ran away, and they are more of a threat to the ordinary citizens of Gotham City, they just have a problem with their brains, and they are not idiots, how can they take the initiative to attack the well-guarded mansion?" Rorschach said curiously.
Looking at Gordon's current performance, it seems that these mentally ill people will gather to get along with the rich.
"If it's a general situation, of course, ordinary people are more dangerous. But this time the situation is different, our police have intelligence that these lunatics have been recruited by one person, and when these madmen gather, the threat they pose is tenfold higher. Gordon said to Rorschach very solemnly.
"Oh, who's so capable?" Rorschach asked casually.
"Joker, he's the most terrible criminal in Gotham City, and the craziest madman. He brought all these neurological patients together. This kind of extravagant act cannot be just for the sake of playing kidnapping in the slums. Director Gordon said with certainty.
For clowns, or they have little interest in money, but rich people often represent big news, and clowns are very interested in making big news. It's unclear what the Joker's plans are, but Gordon has a hunch that the Joker's target is high-income people.
Rorschach had only been in Gotham City for a short time, but his net worth was already in the top five, so Gordon felt the need to remind him.
"Chief Gordon, I heard there's a bat lamp on the roof of the police station, maybe the Dark Knight can fix that?" Rorschach laughed.
Gordon's face became a little abnormal, and he said awkwardly: "Mr. Rorschach, you are joking, it is our police's responsibility to protect the citizens. ”
Rorschach was noncommittal, but the meaning in his eyes was clear, "Don't hold on to it."
If Gotham City didn't have Batman, it would soon be in ruins. Not to mention those boss-level super criminals who emerge in an endless stream, just those big and small gangsters can carve up Gotham City.
The topic was a bit awkward, and Gordon couldn't stay at Rorschach's house, so he quickly took his leave. As a Rorschach who is familiar with the plot, of course, he knows that the target of the clown to take those psychopaths out is not himself, but the leaders of the underworld forces in Gotham City after Fecconi's death.
These people's money is kept in the same bank, and as long as they rob it, they can attract the attention of these gangsters and disrupt the situation in the entire Gotham City.
Chaos is the Joker's ultimate goal, and in his opinion, only a disordered world is the fairest world.
There are no rules, only the jungle eats the strong, and the strong kill the weak. In the midst of extreme chaos and endless evil, Gotham City can make the Joker so excited that he feels like he has been drugged.
The Joker intends to destroy all the bright sides of Gotham City, such as Batman, such as Harvey Dent, the Knight of Light, who has recently become famous. He hopes that both Batman and Harvey Dent will fall into darkness to prove that humans in this world are incorrigible, and that Gotham will fall into the abyss of despair completely.
I have to say that this kind of extremely high ideal can easily attract the support of all kinds of crazy people. The Joker also relies on this way to attract like-minded perverts with him, and then has the capital to be the enemy of the entire Gotham City.
Remembering these episodes, Rorschach asked Sarah, "That friend of ours has now gotten mixed up with the Joker?" ”
Sarah nodded in response, "That's right, his other personality seems to have made a deal with the Joker and has become the Joker's assistant." ”
"It's interesting, I'm curious to see how he's going to behave." Rorschach said with a smile that this experimental subject who had been transformed by the blood of the gods was a rare individual whose body had not mutated and whose mental level had undergone drastic changes.
Rorschach would love to see him surprise himself, and if he could recombine the seven personalities he had split into, then maybe he could really evolve to another level through this soul sublimation.
And Dillett himself did not have this great consciousness, but self-pity and self-harm. Imbued with many special memories by Rorschach, he knows very well what a clown is. And he never thought that one day he would follow the clown.
"Damn! Siren, you thick-eyed guy, I thought you were more normal than the others, but you made me follow the clown, and it turns out that you are the most deadly of these perverts. Dillett roared in his head.
The siren is the sixth personality of Dilett, and in the consciousness space, this person's shape can be said to be the most normal one. Laughing maniacally, habitual clown makeup, Braster is a bald man, and the balance depth of obsessive-compulsive disorder is so symmetrical that even the number of eyelashes must be symmetrical...... Compared to these perverts, the siren looks like a gentle and handsome guy except for habitually closing his eyes.
On weekdays, the sirens never compete with others for any appearances, but just quietly compose and write lyrics for themselves, sing to everyone or something.
I have to say that this singer has a really good voice, and he can imitate all kinds of timbres, if you want a girl to have a girl, if you want Lori to have Lori, and if you want a tenor, you can also Pavarotti.
The only problem is that although this singer is good, he is often fatal. Anyone who hears his singing voice is often hypnotized by the style of the song. If he's singing a cheerful ditty, you're in a good mood.
But when he sings the song of the dark wind, the listener will fall into a state of extreme depression, and may even commit suicide directly.
When the Joker storms Arkham Asylum, he is released very coincidentally, and then gives the psychopaths a half-hour song.
In the end, the clown, who couldn't stand it, finally ran out and begged the sirens: "Don't sing, okay, count me begging you." ”
Damn, what are you singing badly, you have to sing the legend of the phoenix!
Even if he can't understand the lyrics, the appeal of the song has not diminished at all, and the clown feels that he will be brainwashed into becoming a mighty and majestic man if he listens to it again.
The siren pondered the clown's request for a moment, then asked him to take care of his own food, and then agreed not to sing "Horse Pole" again.
By the time Dillett regained control of his body, he had already put on the clown mask and followed the real clown on his way to rob the bank.
"Boss, you said that you want to eat and wait for death, and you don't want to stay in Arkham, why don't I find you a new long-term meal ticket?" In the consciousness space, the siren replied with an aggrieved expression.
"That's it, I worked so hard for you at the beginning, and I had to be complained about." Crazy laugh hurriedly echoed.
Dillett thought to himself, if I had the chance, I would definitely send these bastards to study philosophy one by one, otherwise it would be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart.
Now that the wood is in the boat, and he is on the thief ship of the clown, it is still the key to think about how to get out first.
"According to the plot, the clown took our group of people to rob the bank, and then gave the robbers an order in advance to kill each other, and the last person ran away with the robbed money." Dillett felt that he now needed to figure out which part of the robbery he was responsible for.
In the plot of the movie, the masked people who rob each work together. Some are responsible for turning off the bank's alarm system, someone is responsible for opening the vault doors, others are responsible for controlling the bankers, and there are people stealing school buses to transport money...... Anyway, the division of labor and cooperation are clear, and the plan is very tight.
In this respect, the Joker is a genius of crime, and the robbery plan he designed is impeccable, except for the fact that in the end, his own family is completely dead, and he is the only one left, which can be called perfect.
Of course, maybe it's more perfect for the Joker.
Dillett was well aware that the Joker was hiding among a group of masked men, but he was not wearing his trademark purple suit, and Dillett couldn't tell who was for a while.
Before Dillett could think of a countermeasure, the van had stopped. The door opened, and the masked robbers got out of the car and began to do their jobs.
Dillett, who was a little confused, was dragged away by one of them and said, "You come with me." ”
Dillett didn't resist, and the devil knows if he was the clown. Or some people think that Dillett is a bit cowardly, after all, each of his sub-personalities has powerful special abilities, and he can theoretically kill the clown.
But we can't do the math like that, let's look at this equation first.
The Joker is a big guy who can even face Batman, and whether it's a movie or a comic, no matter how he dies, he won't die, being locked up in Arkham Asylum is like going home, and all of them are talents that the Joker can use, and he doesn't speak as well as the Joker.
And Batman is the big guy who can blow up Superman.
The key is in this article, from which it can be concluded that the Joker can't hammer Superman, but he can also have a few tricks with this one.
Dillett asked himself, he couldn't take Superman's trick. Even Superman can't hold up just glaring at himself (burning gaze) or blowing on himself (super breathing), let alone a punch.
Therefore, this guy who is suspected of being a clown allows himself to follow, and Dillett decisively chooses to be false and wronged (immediately admit it), see the opportunity clearly and then run away.
Following the man's footsteps, Dillett soon understood his job as a head-on bank.
The masked man burst into the bank and fired, and everyone crouched on the ground in fright. After doing all this, the masked man who had Dillett follow said to him, "You, keep the scene under control, I'll go get the money." ”
After saying this, the man ran to the vault, not knowing whether to help or kill people.
Above the bank lobby, only Dillett was left, although he had a gun in his hand, he didn't feel any advantage at all, and his palms couldn't help but sweat slightly.
Probably through the mask, Dillett's nervousness could be detected, and the hostages began to stir and whisper, and some even quietly moved their positions.
Dillett knew that if he continued, someone might soon run away with a risk. After all, there are several gates in this bank, and there is only one person guarding it. Once these people disperse and run away, Dillett's gun may not be able to kill them all.
But Dillett knew he couldn't let that happen, because once chaos set in, the robbery plan was bound to change. When the time comes, the clown may be annoyed and angry and run out to perform what it means to kill even his own people.
Dillett doesn't want to go head-to-head with this terrifying figure for the time being, and it's not suitable for him to take advantage of the opportunity to run away if he gets out. Dillett originally thought that when the robbers began to kill each other, he would quietly take off his mask and blend into the hostages.
When the clown runs away with the money, he leaves the bank in the hostages.
This plan is full of loopholes, but there is only so much that can be thought of with Dillet's IQ.
Therefore, in order to temporarily stabilize these hostages, Dillett shouted: "Don't move, the money belongs to the bank, and the life is your own!" We're just robbing money, and you'd better not risk your lives to make way for others. ”
However, after Dillett said this, the commotion was even greater.
This sentence originally made a lot of sense, if you rob the bank's money, you will rob it, and you are afraid of what you are afraid of if you are still alive. But Dillett didn't know that his idea came entirely from the memories that had been instilled, and it came from the ideas that only the Celestial Empire had.
In the Celestial Empire, the major banks have the endorsement of the state, what is the robbery of 30 or 20 million? Can the state still owe you this small amount?
But in the United States, bank failures are nothing new, and if the robbers really want to rob the bank, the bank will not pay back the money, and then decisively file for bankruptcy. In this way, the savings of their lives will be lost in minutes.
It's good that Dilett didn't shout, but this shouted reminded the group of hostages that the most painful thing in the world is that people are alive and the money is gone.
In this country where guns are rampant, there are not a few people who have the courage to face the muzzle, so before Dillett could wait for the clown to successfully snatch the money back, two hostages in the bank who were closest to him pounced on him.
