Chapter 112: Purification

The Three Towers, a towering mansion, looks down on everything in the city from above. Looking down from the top of the building, the lights on the nearby ground and mountains seemed to be its slaves.

In a suite on the top floor of the Three Towers, the light of the chandelier illuminates the room in a dazzling gold, from the floor, walls to the ceiling. A woman in a gorgeous dress holds a goblet in one hand with a layer of red wine dangling from it.

She's the youngest councillor in Gotham City, and her name is Karis? Kearns, now she's tuning in to the news about herself.

On TV, a female announcer said, "Senate Carris? Ms. Kearns has been very generous, and since the last time Sebastian ? Professor Freddy's private donation was followed yesterday by her large donation to Mr. Wayne's foundation to help orphans, following her own remarks."

On TV, Caris said to the screen, "I didn't have a happy childhood, but I hope that no other child will experience pain like mine." I agree with Mr. Wayne on this that we both want to make a difference for all the children, and for more people in the city."

On the couch, Karis put down his wine glass and picked up a golden mask that glowed brilliantly under the light, which was the mask of the Fallen Knight.

"I swear," she whispered to herself, "that tragedy will never happen again, I promise." ”

Roy's body is going through some changes.

It's obvious that Titan Venom has transformed his ** abilities, while also affecting his mood under certain circumstances. Barbara was very worried, but there was nothing she could do. She had contacted Bruce, but the Batcave had so far been helpless against the venom.

The antidote to Titan has been successfully eradicated from all infected patients in Arkham Asylum, and the antidote should be fine. But only in Roy's case, there seems to be something different that prevents the antidote from working one hundred percent. Sadly, so far it has not even been possible to find out what makes Roy so special.

Only Roy himself knew that it was probably because he was from a different Earth, so his physiology might be different from that of the native inhabitants that could not be scientifically identified. But of course he didn't say it, what to do or what to do, and he didn't seem to take this anomaly very seriously.

The Winged Knight stronghold, Barbara and Bruce passed the conversation, hung up the phone helplessly, and looked at Roy worriedly. The latter was busy on the bench.

"What did you find?" Barbara stepped forward and asked.

"A little bit of progress." Roy said, "I may have figured out the identity of that guy called 'Purification.' ”

Barbara whistled: "Just that pirated Eagle Girl?" ”

"Who is the Eagle Girl?"

Barbara paused, explaining, "A superhero with wings." Without further ado, let's talk about it, who is this purification? ”

Roy stood up and moved out of the way: "This may have to be left to you." ”

"Huh?"

"Yesterday when I fought that purification, I punched her, leaving a mouthful of her blood on the ground." Roy explained, "I took some and brought it back. Now, just wait for you to borrow the GCPD database and look for matching DNA data to confirm her identity. ”

"'Borrow'?" Barbara smiled and sat down in her chair, stretching her fingers, crackling at her joints, "To put it mildly, I've helped you break the law I don't know how many times." ”

"Thanks, but I need you to do it again now."

Barbara's fingers tapped rapidly, and Roy stood behind without saying a word.

The long and expectant wait is like a student waiting for the release of test scores.

The red match progress bar was finally read with 100% of the data displayed, and the words "found a match" appeared on the screen comfortingly.

"Who?" Roy couldn't wait to ask.

"Roses? Velisac. Barbara pronounced the name and complained, "Well, that's a name that doesn't fit for this guy." ”

She continued to scroll down and introduced, "Roses? Velisak once castrated a suspected rapist, a real cow. She later fled to Laos, where it took a lot of effort for the Gotham police to get her back. She also received a basket of fan letters supporting her approach until the poor creature she castrated was proven innocent. ”

Roy asked, "Where can I find her?" ”

"Her house was sold before she fled to Laos, and she was supposed to be living in Arkham Asylum." Barbara said.

"Did you say why she was released?" Roy asked.

"It seems to be a certificate that the mind has returned to normal." Barbara said with some uncertainty, "But strangely enough, there is no record of the person who issued the certificate, as if someone had erased the record." ”

Roy frowned.

"Something is wrong." "Let's go straight inside Arkham and ask if we can get any clues," he said. ”

Arkham Island.

After the Joker's incident at Arkham Asylum, the island's facilities are undergoing another renovation. According to those involved, Arkham will be stronger and more unbreakable than ever, but there is already considerable skepticism about this.

Roy and Barbara arrive at Arkham as detective advisors for the Gotham Police Department, and with the help of the staff, they find the one called "Rose?" The attending physician of the patient of "Villisak" while he was in an insane asylum - Ferry? Jefferson.

A few minutes later, the two were already seated in Dr. Jefferson's office.

"I heard that two are GCPD's detective consultants?" Dr. Jefferson glanced at both of them and asked, "Is there anything I can do for me?" ”

Roy looked at the doctor. Dr. Jefferson was in his fifties, and he didn't look very friendly, his eyes full of wariness and unease.

Barbara said, "Hello, doctor, my partner and I are investigating a serial criminal called the 'Fallen Knight', and we suspect that one of your former patients may have something to do with her. ”

"Huh? Which patient? ”

"Roses? Velisac. ”

Roy noticed that the doctor's snort seemed to get worse the moment Barbara said the name.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not up to me to heal the patient." Dr. Jefferson said with regret on his face, "This is the result of a joint review by many parties, and there is a chance of recurrence, but none of us can predict it." ”

"But if you hadn't applied for the patient, she would never have been able to get a certificate of mental recovery, right?" Roy interjected, "And I've heard that the opinion of the attending physician himself is also crucial in the process of rehabilitation review. ”

The doctor raised an eyebrow: "Do you think I deliberately let a madman go back to the street?" ”

"I didn't say that." Roy shrugged, stopped talking about the topic, and asked, "Actually, what we want to know is whether Velisac had any close contacts when he was in Arkham." Anyone, guards, cellmates, or anyone who came to visit her? ”

Dr. Jefferson shook his head, "No. Since Vilisak came in, she has rarely spoken, and she has hardly communicated with her fellow inmates, except for a little to me, but even to me, she has very few words, until I have some professional way to make her willing to communicate with me, and then I have helped her mend the scars on her soul, at least that's what I think. But I'm not sure if she's really recovered, or if she's just acting as an illusion for me. ”

"So no one has ever visited her?" Barbara asked.

"Never." Dr. Jefferson said firmly.

"Well, thank you so much for your time."

Walking out of the doctor's office, Roy asked, "Did you find anything right?" ”

"Of course, this doctor is lying." Barbara Road.

"Of course, I can see this, his heart rate, pupils, and muscle reactions clearly tell us that he is hiding it."

"That's not all." Barbara said, "I've looked at roses? In Willisak's record of Arkham visiting her on two occasions, the name registration forms for both visits were empty. I thought it might have been some omission, but the fact that her attending physician had been deliberately concealed by the fact that no one had ever visited her suggests that there must be something wrong with the visitor, and that Dr. Jefferson probably knew the identity of the person. What we need to do now is to get him to speak. ”
