Chapter 789: Deadly Joke (16)
In the end, Konstantin and Bruce sat side by side on the curb of the street, looking at the bustling neon lights of the opposite commercial street, Konstantin's brain was full of drugs and alcohol, and he could always see many hallucinations from such a light, and then, Konstantin said to Bruce:
"You're not from here, you shouldn't be here, you should go back to where you live, instead of sitting here and smiling."
"Yes, that's what they say." Bruce replied, they said I didn't belong here, I should get out of here, I didn't live in the same society as them, and I couldn't find any answers here.
"No, that's not what I mean." "When I say to an angel that you should not walk in the kingdom of hell, I am not telling him how beautiful heaven is, urging him to go back and enjoy that life, but I am warning him not to go with us," Constantine said.
"People who are already under the abyss, they can't save others, they can't even save themselves, I can't stand up now, I feel like vomiting, my mind is full of all those hallucinations, you can't expect me to go to the church to help the poor, you can't expect me to go to the church to spread the gospel, you can't ask me to change the city......
Konstantin glanced at his palm, which was covered with the lines of time, he was not really old, but his body was on the verge of collapse due to many years of vices, and he said, "You are young, strong, energetic, rich and stable, you can do many things that I can't do, those are things that I once wanted to do, but in the end I didn't do......
"Why didn't you make it?" Bruce asked.
"Because I was pulled down by the hand that came out of hell, and this is my fate." Konstantin looked back at the alleys of the slums and said, "Whether they are born in hell or halfway through and lured in, they are not born bad people and may have thought about saving the world."
"Don't think it's a naïve thing to do, Batman, the things you thought about in the attic, the things you took the time to do, may not have the results you wanted, they may be more small than you can do, but it's not ridiculous."
"You feel like everyone is looking at you, laughing at you, you can do 10 points, but you only do 1 point, and you are complacent about it."
"But in fact, if anyone has received your favor, he will only thank you, and those who have not received your favor cannot ask for more for the recipient, because it is not the bystanders who save him, but you."
"For example, me, you try to save me, but for some reason, you don't have that ability to save me, I see the effort you put into it, so I'm willing to treat you as my friend, and if someone jumps out and says, you haven't tried enough, you should pay more to save me, then I will give him a punch."
Konstantin looked at Bruce's face, and didn't notice that his expression was any lighter, he could understand what Bruce was thinking now, the frequency of his soul beating, telling his mind at the moment.
Before that, Batman probably thought of it all very simply, his purpose was to fight criminals, to avenge his parents, and he thought that he had done a good job, and in just two years, he stopped countless crimes. ….
Later, Bruce Wayne also planned to make some changes, he planned to use the power of the Wayne Group to do more, and he was originally full of ambition for this.
But the crazy reality is like a slap in the face, he finds that the reason why Gotham has become like this is not what he imagined, the criminals are shameless, the poor are unwilling to work hard, and the people who are trapped in this vortex have problems protecting themselves, and when he falls, he can't break free.
What he did and what he thought in the past looked very ridiculous, he was not a night, because standing on the roof of Wayne Tower, the night he saw was still not dark enough, and he was not revenge, and the tragedy that led to his life may not be just one or two criminals he fell.
Konstantin took a deep breath, and he found that Bruce was in a very dangerous state, his spirit was sliding into some kind of abyss, and some hidden nature was being awakened.
He had comforted Bruce as best he could
, but Konstantin knew that he was not very good at comforting people.
And if Batman doesn't think about it, the consequences are very serious, it's not just a trained superhero turned into a supervillain, the collapse of the Wayne Group is the most terrifying.
Konstantin rubbed his eyes with the palm of his hand, he thought for a while, decided to call for foreign help, he left where Bruce was sitting step by step, found the nearest public phone booth, and called the Gotham police station.
At the Gotham Police Department, Gordon is interrogating Copote.
But he was impatient to do it, because he knew that no matter which hospital he went to, he would be able to issue a mental illness report, and in the end he would definitely not end up in jail, but he would have to go to Arkham Asylum, but it had become a stronghold for the gang bosses, and Colbert would go as if he were going home.
Moreover, whenever asked for key information about the hired murderer, Colbert would draw a cross on his chest, everyone in Gotham understood what this meant, the police chief was the godfather's person, and as Gordon interrogated, the director's face became more and more wrong.
At this time, he happened to receive a call from Konstantin, and as soon as he heard that Batman had a problem, he was able to take the opportunity to leave.
Coming to where Bruce was, Gordon was equally shocked by Bruce's current state, and he knew better than Konstantin the consequences of Batman's madness.
So, he hurriedly pressed Bruce's shoulder and said, "Bruce! Look at me, I'm James, we can talk, really......"
As he pressed Bruce's shoulder, he noticed that Bruce's body was trembling, and Gordon listened intently, as if he could hear the uncontrollable laughter coming out of his chest.
Gordon had a bad feeling that he covered his forehead and said, "Jesus! What the hell is going on? Did that madman do it again?!"
Suddenly, Bruce looked up at him and asked, "I gave you the bat lamp, but why did you barely light it?"
"I ......" Gordon hesitated a little and said, "I don't want to lie to you, the truth is that the bat lantern is really good as a lamp, it is very powerful, it can illuminate the entire courtyard of the police station, so I fixed it on the roof behind the police station building......"....
Speaking of this, Gordon hurriedly replied, "However, it is fixed there, and it can be used normally, as long as you adjust the angle, the shape of the bat will appear in the sky over Gotham......
"And the reason I didn't do that all the time was because I thought you were busy." Gordon sighed and said, "Okay, let's stop playing those guessing games, I'll be honest, Wayne has to take care of the Wayne Group, Bruce has to go to school, Bruce Wayne has to raise the kids, and has to educate them, and Batman has to go out and fight crime......
"I really don't know when to look for you so that I don't interrupt what you're going to do, and if it's not really tricky, I'm not willing to use this method to solve it."
Bruce looked up at him, as if he didn't think Gordon was telling the truth, at this time, Gordon turned his head to look at Konstantin, Konstantin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's talk first, I need to find a place to lie down, I'm very uncomfortable."
With that, he turned to leave, and Gordon sat on the curb, saying, "Since I was promoted, I've learned that the Gotham Police Department's inaction is not entirely due to a lack of firepower."
"There are three kinds of people who will be police officers in Gotham, one is the villain who has no bottom line, they come to the police station for the purpose of collecting money, their boss lets them in to make it easier to do things, and if other people give them money, they will also be happy to help some criminals get away with it."
"The second type of people are just ordinary people, they only regard the profession of police as a job, if someone tells them to go, whether the matter can be solved or not depends on luck, someone gives money, they will take it, as long as it is not too difficult to do, they will do it, they feel that all the evils that happened in Gotham will disappear naturally, and they don't need to work hard."
"And the last one, like my colleague Bullock, who is ostensibly like a black cop and often takes money from the gangsters, but in reality, he is a good guy who is solving the problems of many people in his own way and doing his best to uphold justice......
"What about you?" Bruce asked, looking at him.
"Me? …… They called me a madman." Gordon looked up at the sky and said, "Indeed, in this city, I am a madman, I don't take black money, I don't help the gangsters, as long as someone calls the police, I will do my best to solve the problem, even if it is at the cost of my own safety and life."
"At first, I was angry, how could they call me crazy? Obviously, they are crazy, obviously they are sinking together with evil, and I am the only one who comes out of the mud without staining, but later, I found out that in Gotham, being a madman is not a bad thing."
Bruce's eyes rolled and he looked at Gordon, as if he didn't understand why he would say such a thing.
He was under the impression that Gordon was really Gotham's last conscience, and you could not hope for anything that happened here, but you could always trust Gordon.
"One day, I got into a very complicated gang dispute, and everyone in the entire police department, including the intern who had just been here for three days, was trying to persuade me to make a big thing a small thing and a small thing."
"Then, I drove an armed police car to the downstairs of the mansion, and the driving Brock pointed a bazooka at a window of the mansion, and I carried a rifle into the scene of the meeting between the gang bosses." ….
"I told them that I had to get the truth, or we would die here together, and anyway, none of them were innocent except me, and I was voluntary."
"They all said I was crazy...... Gordon squinted his eyes at the neon lights on the street opposite, and he said, "Every single one of them was shocked and called me crazy."
"They started blaming each other, saying that they had provoked me as a madman, and in the end, they found out the real culprit themselves, and then they shot him down, and one of the gang bosses sent me back to the police station and told the police chief that the godfather shouldn't let a madman be the detective."
"Look." Gordon spread his hands and said, "In this city, if you want to stop evil, you can't be a good person, you have to be a madman."
Gordon took a deep breath and stood up, bent down, put his hands on his knees, looked down at Bruce and said:
"Batman, don't think of yourself as the only normal person in this city, because we all know that there are no normal people here."
Gordon looked at Bruce with an indescribable hope, as if he had seen himself as he once was, and he said:
"I don't want to use the bat lamp to find you, not because I don't believe in your determination to fight crime, not because I don't think you're helpful, but because if you think of yourself as a normal person, then you can't deal with these crazy people."
"Don't be ashamed of being mad, you can only defeat them if you are crazier than everyone else."
Bruce, who sat in place, thought of the fire he had seen, and where he saw a reality that was even crazier than the Joker.
Batman has always felt that he is a normal person, and on the other hand, the Joker who can only laugh is a madman.
But now Bruce discovers that no one is immune to this crazy reality, and he is still being affected and blinded by madness for more than ten years of his dreams of revenge.
The continuous rain here all year round is fair to everyone, and if you don't think you're crazy, you're probably crazy.
Bruce thought again, if he wasn't sure he was conscious, then how could he deal with criminals? And how can you save Gotham?
Faced with this question, Gordon could not answer it, he was not very good at this kind of philosophical thinking, and could only rely on experience to dissuade Bruce.
But he knew someone who was good at it, and he called Harvey Dant, Bruce's mentor.
