Wayne Hospital, located in Gotham's South Side, is a top private hospital funded by the Wayne family, and has a good reputation on the East Coast, and the only reason for many wealthy people from other places to come to Gotham is to come here for treatment.

But Bruce Wayne himself rarely comes to this hospital, and even when he was active as Batman, including when he helped those children before, he went to Gotham Central Hospital, not here.

Because the honorary director of this hospital, who is still called Thomas Wayne, is a hospital that the Waynes invested in during their lifetime.

But today, it was extra busy, one stretcher after another was carried into the operating room, the smell of blood filled the corridors, and what made people feel even more confused and frightened was that there were constant wails and screams from the operating room.

The windows of the hallway were blown open by the wind, and a cold wind pierced the door of the operating room, where the operating beds and lamps were overturned, and Bruce grabbed a bloody patient by the neck with one hand until he was suffocated and unconscious.

Bruce withdrew his hand, stood up, exhaled, looked at the nurses who were cowering in the corner, and said, "Is Dr. Brand here?" What about other psychiatric doctors and nurses? Let them come over and prepare the tranquilizers. ”

At this time, the door of the operating room was pushed open, and the head nurse of the psychiatric department rushed in directly, ignoring the messy props all over the floor, and waved his hand very skillfully and said: "Put on the restraint clothes, prepare to settle down!"

Several male nurses walked up and held the patient down. Put on a restraint suit, tie a stretcher, and carry it out, looking at their departing backs, Bruce was blinded, he turned his head, and said to the nurses: "Today's situation, no one should say anything, all other patients will be transferred to the critical care ward first, and the operation will not be performed for the time being......."

"But...... But ......" a nurse stood up and said, "There are many people who are so badly injured that they are bleeding all the time, and if they don't stop the bleeding immediately......

Bruce sighed and said, "Is it possible to have surgery without making contact with them?" ”

Several nurses looked at each other and said, "I'm afraid it's difficult, if they keep struggling like this, they can't get stitches"

"Then send it to the psychiatric department first, and then treat it after taking tranquilizers." Bruce said as he stepped over the clutter on the floor of the messy operating room and walked out.

What he didn't notice was that among the nurses huddled behind him, a young baby-faced female nurse covered her arm, blood flowed from between her fingers, and there was a scar on her arm, which looked like she had just been scratched.

In the hallway, he met another doctor, who asked, "Is Dr. Brand here?" Did you call Professor Schiller? Knife. ”

The doctor nodded at him and said, "Dr. Brand has arrived in the consultation room, Professor Schiller's butler said that he cannot be contacted for the time being, and if there is any news, I will call you as soon as possible." ”

Bruce nodded, walked briskly towards the consultation room, and as soon as he entered, he saw Brand and several other psychiatrists, who were frowning at the case, and Bruce heard him say:

"This is very abnormal, this is not an ordinary state of euphoria, the medicine we gave to the previous patient has reached the maximum dose, but the data of the body is still abnormal......"

One of the doctors asked, "Is it possible that there is a stress response to pain?" They have varying degrees of injuries to their limbs and torsos, some are mentally ill, and will have a more sensitive response to pain......"

"But many people have already lost too much blood, and they can still jump more than a meter, is this really normal?" A younger doctor questioned, saying, "It's beyond the stress response, this level of pain." It is impossible to make them completely lose their minds, don't they know that engaging in such a crazy exercise may kill them? Knife. ”

"Could it be a special manifestation of nervous tics?" An elderly doctor touched his chin and said, "Have you been checked for epilepsy?" ”

"No, I don't think it's epilepsy, I received a similar case last month......"

Bruce stepped forward and asked, "Gentlemen, is there a result?" The patient who had just been admitted to the operating room went crazy again......"

"Crazy again? This is already the fourth, isn't it?! Even if it's the hyperactive manifestation of schizophrenia that you say, it's not contagious, right? Or is there a kinship between them that we don't know about? ”

"I'm going to say it's unlikely to be schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder? …… No, it is impossible for so many people to get sick at the same time......"

Brand looked at the analysis report, without saying a word, as if thinking of something, and just as Bruce was about to step forward to ask, he heard another noisy voice in the hallway:

"God! Stop her! Nina! Nina! Where are you going? …… Damn, she scratched me! It hurts. ”

"Nina, are you crazy? Come back! It's a window! If you fall, you'll be smashed into a pulp!!"

Bruce immediately walked quickly towards the door, and as soon as he pushed the door open, there was a "bang", and a medical cart for storing objects smashed against the opposite wall, and Bruce's hand immediately pressed on the batrang on his waist.

He looked towards the end of the hallway, and when he saw a figure in a nurse's outfit running upstairs, Bruce immediately chased after him, and behind him, Brand also chased after him.

"Stop her!" Brand yelled, "It's not that simple! It's not just a mental illness! Can't let her hurt anymore!"

Bruce ran quickly upstairs, asking as he ran, "What the hell is going on?" Why did they all go crazy all of a sudden?!knife. ”

"There's something wrong with the wound!" Brand, who was no slower than Bruce, said, "Anyone who gets scratched goes crazy...... Stop her!!"

Bruce looked up as he ran, and at this angle, he could just see the nurse's shoes, flashing above his head.

Bruce frowned and sped up, for he noticed that the young nurse was still wearing high heels) and her skirt was not suitable for exercise at all, but it was extremely unusual for the mad nurse to run faster than him.

Finding that he might not be able to catch up, Bruce threw out two batrangs directly, and there was a scream from upstairs, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded, and Bruce and Brand took three steps and two steps to the top floor of the hospital.

The batrang hit the female nurse in the calf, but the female nurse who fell to the ground instantly got up, as if she didn't feel pain at all, she slammed open the door of the rooftop, and then rushed out.

Bruce and Brand followed, the female nurse turned around, the nurse's hat fell off, her long hair covered her hideous face, and there was a short breathing sound in her throat, Bruce held the batrang in his hand, turned his head slightly, and asked, "Are you sure this is not a mental illness?" ”

"Of course I'm sure!" Brand tossed the analysis report in his hand aside, and then said, "No matter what you can do now, beat her with your best strength, believe me, it's for her good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bruce rolled to the side, dodging the crazy female nurse who pounced, and he saw that the female nurse's eyes under the long black hair turned a crazy and chaotic gray.

The gray color made Bruce stunned for a moment, but the next second, the claws slashed across his ears, and just as they were about to touch his shoulder, a muffled "bang" was heard, and the female nurse was knocked out.

Bruce stepped back and turned his head, and he saw that behind the female nurse lying on the ground, there was a charred black mark, and scattered sparks, not yet completely extinguished, floated from her back to the ground, and disappeared into the puddle.

Bruce turned his head and looked at Brand, who withdrew his hand and said, "I said, this is a new type of firearm, will you believe it?" ”

6 Magician?!' Knife Bruce narrowed his eyes and looked at Brand, who turned his head and said, "You should have known a long time ago that there would be no ordinary people who dared to come to Gotham to hide from the enemy. ”

Bruce knew that now was not the time to ask, and he wanted to walk back into the building, but as he approached the edge of the building, he saw a scene in the window of another building.

Several nurses screamed and threw a stool at a patient who kept lunging at them, and after a few seconds, one of the nurses had an additional scar on her back.

She lay on the ground screaming, gasping for breath and turning pale, and at this time, Bruce looked up at the sky, his arm felt a moist coolness, and it was raining again in Gotham.

"I said, it's not a mental illness, and there's no such thing as a mental illness in this world that can be contracted in this way." Brand walked over, turned the female nurse he had knocked down, pointed to her arm, and said to Bruce, "See this wound?" If you have a little medical knowledge, you should know that normal body surface wounds should not be in this state now......"

"What the hell is going on? What is it...... Virus? Bruce immediately thought of a possibility, but Brand shook his head and said, "I suspect it could be a curse, a curse that makes people crazy, bloodthirsty, and painless." ”

As soon as he said this, there was a "bang", and the other half of the door on the rooftop was also slammed open, and the two figures rushed towards Bruce and Brand.

Bruce nimbly dodged, and with a wave of his hand, a flash of light appeared a few meters away, and his figure flashed there.

Bruce carefully observed the two figures rushing towards him again, one of them was a man and a woman, one of them was wearing a white coat, he looked like a doctor in the hospital, his injury was in the calf, but it did not affect his movement in the slightest.

The male doctor doesn't have long hair, so Bruce is able to see his eyes more clearly, which are also gray.

Bruce paused, but the ensuing attack left him no time to think about it, three batarangs were thrown, and the male doctor was beaten back a few steps, but the extra wound didn't make him retreat, it made him even more crazy.

Bruce didn't wear a bat suit, and he felt that his current costume should not be able to withstand their bites, so he turned to Brand and said, "I'm going to call fire support and cover me!"

With that, he took two steps back, pressed his belt, and after reloading the batrang, he planned to confront the male doctor again.

But the rain in Gotham is getting heavier and heavier, and the rain and fog blur his vision, which also makes his opponent more crazy and agile, and Bruce is not unable to cope with such an attack, but he must make sure that he cannot be scratched, so it is a little difficult to parry.

"Bang !!"

Suddenly, the male doctor in front of him paused, then slowly fell down, and what appeared in Bruce's field of vision was first a pitch-black umbrella handle, and behind the umbrella handle was Schiller's face.

Brand, who was dealing with another female nurse next to him, shouted, "This is your fire support?!"

"I'm afraid it's your fire support." Bruce put away the batrang and looked at Schiller.

But Schiller turned his head and looked downstairs at the hospital, where the dark clouds over Gotham were thick again, and the last rays of sunlight were in the shadows.

A thick fog rose between the streets, and strange shadows fluttered, like swaying figures, and like terrible things that staggered from the depths of the fog and rain.
