After Schiller walked into the room, Batman also walked in, and when Schiller walked in, the children showed some fear, but when Batman walked in, they all hid in the corner and looked at the strange man in the black leotard with a look of horror.

"Colbert, is this the child you rescued? Schiller glanced at all the children and said, "It's worse than I thought, they should eat more." ”

"These days, they are all well fed, and in just two weeks, they will return to normal." Cobot said with a blank face.

Batman shook his head and said, "It's impossible, each of them is very malnourished, they still have wounds on their bodies, and they are about to get infected, and they have to go to the hospital." ”

"Gotham's kids are like that." Colbert didn't look at Batman at all, he just said in a calm tone: "Hunger and injury are nothing, as long as they are alive and have plenty of food and safe shelter, then they will quickly recover their health." ”

"You're going to make them miss out on the best treatment period." Batman said, "It affects their growth and development, and it leaves them with permanent scars. ”

"As long as it's not a disability that affects mobility, it's nothing." Colbert frowned and said.

Batman stared at him in silence, the dissatisfaction on his face was clearly visible, and suddenly, Colbert became a little irritable, and the corners of his mouth trembled, "Don't spread those useless sympathies there, big guys, stay away from us...... Get out of here! ”

"Calm down, Copote." Schiller stepped forward and patted Copote on the shoulder and said, "For the sake of his big guy, ignore his stupid words." ”

"I'm just talking about some very normal medical common sense that everyone should know." Batman's tone was slightly raised, saying, "Malnutrition lowers immunity, extreme hunger can damage their stomachs, and these hard breads can cause them to obstruct or vomit." ”

"It's only 15 degrees, it's still raining outside, four or five of them have a fever, and one of them is shaking, and what we should do now is take them to the hospital and get them treated."

With that, Batman walked up to the children, and he grabbed the arm of one of the weakest little girls, trying to pull her to his side and check on her.

The little girl was a mulatto brown race, with thick, thick black eyebrows, and large eyes, but she was as thin as a tree branch with a grape on top of it, and her limbs were so thin that she looked out of proportion.

Because her arms were so thin, Batman grabbed her arm with light force and didn't use a lot of force to drag her, but the moment her gloves touched the little girl, the little girl bit it.

She let out a high-pitched chirp, bit Batman's wrist tightly, then shook Batman's hand away, screamed and ran to the corner, and began to howl as she pushed the door, her limbs twitching and her voice hoarse.

"I just wanted to take you to the hospital." Batman looked at her and said, "You don't have to be afraid of me, I'll take you to the doctor, and the doctor will cure you of all your diseases." ”

He lowered his head and looked at the children around him, but every child who met his gaze would tremble and retreat, then run away screaming, and after a while, there would be no one around Batman.

Even if there is a mask to cover his face, normal people can see that Batman's face is much better than that of Copote, and Copote's hooked nose is particularly cruel, and he doesn't look like a good person, but he is surrounded by the most children.

"You're hindering them from getting normal treatment." Batman stood up and said to Copote, "If you don't have any medical knowledge, you should at least know that normal children are prone to die in the case of malnutrition and high fever in the rain." ”

Copote had a multi-purpose saber in his hand, and at this time, he was spinning in his hand, he looked into Batman's eyes and said, "Do you know why they are avoiding you?" ”

Batman looked at him in silence, but his eyes were indeed looking for an answer.

"Maybe you know, these begging children have "mom and dad", that is, their leader, this group of mom and dad specializes in picking up abandoned babies that others don't want, using the simplest

Feed them in a single way, and let them go out to beg when they grow up. ”

"But they are not really mom and dad, just businessmen, businessmen want their products to sell well, but sometimes, the market is not good, they can't get money, mom and dad will find a child who does the worst job and beat him half to death."

"Of course, sometimes, they will be too heavy, and such children will not be able to go out and beg the next day, and no one in Gotham will be merciful to give them a little more money because the begging child is too badly injured, they will only feel that the blood that flows down the rain to their feet will stain their shoes."

"If such a child is useless, Mom and Dad will dispose of him, and they will announce in public that they will take this child to the hospital, and then hand it over to the rich for adoption, and declare him free from the sea of misery and be freed."

"But the children are not stupid, everyone knows that he will not be sent to the hospital, he will be thrown into the garbage truck, and then die in the heavy rain overnight, every child who is dragged out by his parents will only have this fate."

Colbert looked Batman in the eye and said, "You tell them you're going to take them to the hospital, as if you're telling them you're going to kill them." ”

Seeing the eyes of the children hiding in the corner, Batman knew that Colbert was not making up a story, and that the children had heard the word "hospital" for the first time from the mouth of the leader who had been abusing them.

And at this time, Schiller was half-kneeling, and he beckoned to one of the children and said, "Come here, child." ”

It was a little black boy, his legs were shaking, and he still came to Schiller, who looked at him and asked, "Where are you uncomfortable now?" ”

"No, I'm fine, I can work." The little boy trembled and said, "I can go to work in the outer streets." ”

Schiller looked up at Copote, who explained: "The outer street refers to the docks, where there are many people, and there are many big men who go to sea on yachts, and sometimes they give a little money to the little beggars in order to sail smoothly, but there are also vicious dock workers, who have to be strong enough and smart enough to eat there." ”

"Okay, you're in good health, I saw you just ate a piece of bread, are you full?" Schiller asked again.

"No, I'm still a little hungry, but I don't need to eat any more." The little boy spoke fluently, and when this sentence came out of his mouth, it was like a thousand rehearsals.

"Good, do you feel cold? Need an extra piece of clothing? Schiller asked again.

"I'm a little cold, but I don't need to wear clothes." The little boy replied again.

After Schiller asked, he stood up, shook his head and said, "They have to see a doctor, but a psychiatrist." ”

Batman looked at him, as if seeking an answer, but Schiller gave Colbert a direct look, and they walked out of the room.

Batman also went out, but just as the Red Truck was about to go out, Schiller stopped him, and he said to the Red Truck, "You stay here first, stay with them for a while, after all, you are the one who gave them food." ”

The red truck was a little confused, but he still nodded and said something, and after the other people walked out, Schiller took the tip of the umbrella and nodded to the ground and said:

"I think you can tell that his answer is very strange, and when I ask him how he is, he will first say that he is not in good shape and then add that he does not need any improvement."

"He will say that he is not in a good state because he is showing the controller that he has no possibility of getting out of control, that he is still cold and hungry, weak and bullied, and that he is an easy object to be controlled."

"But at the same time, he made it clear that he would not waste any of the controller's resources, and he would not ask them to add food and clothing, and it would cost them more."

"Obviously, it's not a natural expression." Schiller turned his head to look at the room and said, "They are trying to make sure that they meet the most desired state of control and abuse, weak, not resisting, cost-saving, very obedient and competent......"

"But they're dying." Batman said in a deep voice.

"Then give them some medicine." Copote still said expressionlessly: "One anti-inflammatory pill per person, take antipyretic medicine if you have a fever, add a few more clothes if you feel cold, and eat noodles when you are hungry."

Pack. ”

"You're still abusing them." Batman took a deep breath and said, "You are no different from the leaders who exploit and abuse them, why can't you save them completely?" ”

"I'm saving them once and for all." Copote walked across from Batman, very close to him, and poked Batman's suit with the saber in his hand, then said:

"Batman, this is me, this is us, this is the reason why everyone in Gotham hates you, you think only you can save Gotham, you think you are the savior, but you are not, you can't save anyone here, you can't save the city."

"You obviously didn't do anything, but you put yourself in the position of a savior, and you go up to accuse everyone who doesn't want to do what you want, Batman, if it weren't for the fact that I had something to do right now, I would have taught you a great lesson."

When Copote's expressionless face showed a fierce expression, even Batman felt a hint of hideousness, and he felt that an evil spirit was brewing in Copote's body, ready to become one of Gotham's greatest hidden dangers at any time.

"At the very least, I will let them get the most professional medical attention when they feel uncomfortable." Batman looked Copoter in the eye and said, "At the very least, I can save these children, and your lack of common sense will only make you kill them." ”

"Alright, don't make any noise!" Schiller covered his temples, evidently feeling a little noisy, and said, "Well, if you take half of the children and save them in your own way, you can do it anyway, they would have died in some alley." ”

Batman was about to say no, when he saw Schiller's gaze at him, some words about human rights had been held back before they could be spoken, and finally, he and Copote looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Cobot walked into the room and said to his postman subordinate, "Get Andrew, the drug dealer on Green Street, for anti-inflammatory medicine, and if you have morphine, but not injections." ”

"Find the owner of the restaurant next door, ask for a kettle, let the bar upstairs boil and send it over, say hello to the bar owner, and if you want to write today's leftovers, send them here, and give them the fried fish, meatloaf and vegetable salad that haven't changed their taste."

"In addition, you and the red truck are keeping an eye on them, don't let them run out, don't let them shout, don't affect the business of the bar, if the bar owner comes down to see them, tell him that the Spencer family has a recent ball, I can give him an invitation to forget about it."

After Copote finished speaking, he left without looking back, not planning to continue to take care of the group of children, Batman looked at his back and said, "You are trying to kill for money." ”

"You'll soon find out who killed the money."
