Chapter 1013: The Scarecrow Is Unlucky (Part II)
As Jonathan said, Batman did learn a lot from Schiller, but in fact, it didn't include his equal style of language that broke everyone's defense, so when Jonathan called out the name, Batman was a little puzzled.
Because he knew that if Schiller was sitting here, Jonathan would not be the only one who would be scolded and ridiculed, and those who had never been there, such as Green Lantern, Batman, Superman, and even the teacher at the freshman registration office, would not be able to escape the innocent lying gun.
Batman's language style is like a sniper rifle, after determining the target, open the scope and aim, and kill with one hit.
Schiller's style of language is more like a machine gun, and it is the kind of infinite bullet, not to mention the enemy in front of him, a mosquito flew over his head, and he went into battle lightly, carrying two pounds of bullets.
Jonathan seemed to lose patience and said, "You can't save Gotham...... Batman!"
"But you can have Alzheimer's disease, because you've said it before, just 2 minutes and 32 seconds ago." Batman immediately picked it up.
With a "bang", the table shook with a smashing sound, making the cups and kettles on the table make a crisp collision sound.
"Do you know why? Because, the rain of Gotham, in the rain of Gotham, there is a mysterious substance that will stimulate the toxins in Gotham's metal, and that will plunge Gotham into boundless darkness, and there will never be a day to turn over!"
"And then?" Batman asked.
Batman's calm expression did not surprise Jonathan, because he also knew that with Wayne's strength, it would not be difficult to investigate these things, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly, another topic arose:
"Do you remember? At the beginning, you investigated the disappearance cases in the Mawson neighborhood to no avail, and I did the same case."
"Your understanding of "fruitlessness" is peculiar." Batman bluntly stated: "We investigated all the clues, and caught you, and put you in a psychiatric hospital, if you think it's "fruitless", next time I will remember to break your spine and send you there."
"But you couldn't save the missing people, you know? I had a great time dissecting them......
"I could have killed them first and then dissected their bodies, but I didn't, not because I like to hear screams, but because you, Batman!" Jonathan's eyes narrowed.
"When I hear them screaming and cursing me, my pleasure doesn't come from them, they are like fish on a board, and when they are dying, they are also boring."
"But the thought of a vigilante who professes to be righteous, searching for their tracks outside, hoping that I can save them, and I'm destroying this hope little by little, makes my whole ......body tremble with excitement," Jonathan's tone was excited.
Batman pauses, purses his lips into a line, and comments, "Hmm...... It seems that you are a typical serial murderer."
Jonathan's expression froze, and Batman rubbed his fingers on the glass of water and said, "Being able to get mental pleasure from hurting others, deceiving passers-by and fooling the police will make you more excited, very traditional, very typical."
"Are you crazy? Batman!" Jonathan stood up, spread his hands, and said, "Do you want me to tell you more about the victims? Shouldn't you come up and punch me? I'm the kind of criminal you hate the most, cruel, wicked, and unrepentant!"
"It is true that there is no repentance, but cruelty and wickedness...... It depends on who you compare yourself with." Batman sat down in his chair, looked up at Jonathan and said, "I've heard that the serial killer crime world has undergone several rounds of innovation, Professor Crane, did they not inform you?"
Jonathan was stunned, because what Batman said was too serious, so he instinctively asked, "What innovation?" Who didn't inform me?"
"Committing a murder simply because of the mental pleasure of killing has been defined as a typical serial murder, that is, it will appear on the first page of this part of the textbook, and it is about a dozen pages away from those real strange cases."
Jonathan's face grew darker and darker, but Batman didn't stop, and he continued, "And two more pages back, maybe you will mention some of the thrills of childhood, the special fetishes that these serial murderers bring."
"If you turn to the end, in some strange cases that have been dehumanized or have not been solved so far, the murderers are always conveying their ideas to all audiences...... So, Professor Klein, what is your philosophy?"
Jonathan choked on a moment, his mouth slightly open, as if he was in a hurry to say something to answer Batman's question, but before he could come up with an answer, Batman said, "It seems that you don't need to answer, because if you and your case will be written on the last few pages, you don't have to wait for me to ask you before you start thinking."
In the midst of Jonathan's silence, Batman remembered a small talk he had with Schiller.
Or rather, it shouldn't be small talk, but more like a relaxation time to correct the wording of the paper, to temper the atmosphere and make sure that neither side uses force to solve the problem.
At that time, although Batman had improved his mental stability to a certain extent, he still hadn't fully thought about it, and he had neither been to the slums nor participated in the war in hell.
But at that time, Batman was already delirious from the torture of the paper, so he directly asked Schiller a question that he thought was fatal - what are the murderers of serial murders afraid of?
But Schiller didn't seem to have any self-consciousness at all, and he couldn't hear the target in Batman's words, and he directly told Batman that if you want to scold a serial murderer, there is one word that is best used, and that is "typical".
As long as you say that he and the case he committed are very typical, then he will definitely break the defense, Batman doesn't believe it, so he asks Schiller, what if the other side doesn't break the defense?
Schiller told him that if you tell the other party with factual evidence that your case is very typical, and the other party is not angry, then it means that he is not a real serial murderer, at least not a natural killer.
Next, Schiller also told Batman a secret that shocked him a little, that is, the madmen all over the world will contact each other, in short, they have a group.
Of course, the means of communication are not so developed now, but they will still pay attention to each other's movements, and the method is to collect newspapers from all over the world, look for the big and important cases above, explore the methods of the other party, pay attention to the people who have been arrested, and compare themselves with them to determine their rank in the group.
Batman was actually tempted to ask Schiller what level he belonged to, but his keen instincts and desire to survive made him shut up to prevent himself from becoming one of the big cases.
After that, Schiller told him that if he wanted to further break the defense of the other party, he could directly point out that the other party's status in this group was very low, and there would never be any person of the same kind who would be amazed when he saw his case, and even if he had a great hatred with the other party, he could use the ultimate weapon - "You are mediocre".
Of course, in addition to the ultimate weapon, there is also an extraordinary, and if you don't have a common enmity with the other party, it's best not to use it.
It's a pity that Batman and every criminal have a common hatred.
"Batman, don't forget who you are! Aren't you the self-proclaimed enforcer of justice? When a murderer is standing in front of you, you just sit back and don't arrest him?!" Jonathan attacked again.
Batman withdrew his hands from the table, folded them and placed them on his lap, his body straight, his back resting on the back of his chair.
This gesture of his, which Jonathan disliked very much, reminded him of a boring person, Godfather Falcone.
Jonathan doesn't know why he saw the shadow of the godfather in Batman's body, they should not have crossed paths, or rather, Batman is the enemy of the godfather, and the godfather should also be a hateful criminal in the eyes of Batman.
But Jonathan did clearly see in Batman's body, the bearing and calmness that had shocked Gotham for an entire era, Batman looked at Jonathan and said:
"Why are you paying so much attention to me?"
When Batman first asked this question, Jonathan was a little unresponsive, but then Batman asked:
"Why, your eyes have been on me since I walked through the door, why do you keep an eye on my reaction? Why are you asking me to arrest you now? Am I important to you?"
Batman looked at Jonathan with a very sincere look in his eyes, as if he really didn't understand the answers to these questions, but Jonathan almost jumped up from the table as if he had been stabbed suddenly, and he said, "How can I follow you?!" What's so special about you?! You're just as mediocre and stupid as ordinary people, and even more ridiculous than they are!!"
"Then I'll call Sheriff Gordon now, handcuff you, and send you to the police station, and there will be a professional doctor to conduct a psychiatric evaluation for you, and if you are really a mental patient, they will take you to the hospital."
Batman stood up, like a guest who had finished his meal and wanted to leave, but Jonathan suddenly went crazy and yelled:
"Batman!! What are you doing?!! Aren't you a vigilante?! Aren't you the embodiment of justice? Why don't you arrest me?!!!
"I see...... I get it......" Jonathan suddenly began to pace in place, and he said, "You're despising me!" You're looking down on me! You think I'm just an ordinary criminal, not worth your trouble, my God, are you blind?!!
Jonathan suddenly stopped, he stretched out his hand, pointed to the door and said, "How many people can those ordinary murderers and those gangsters kill? Ten? Twenty? But I killed at least two hundred people!!
Batman still looked at him calmly and said, "Then you're a good fit to work on the assembly line in the slaughterhouse."
Jonathan took a deep breath, as if he was going to suck all the oxygen in the room, his body began to tremble, he clutched his chest and said, "Batman, how can you know me so narrowly?! You don't even know the details of my crime! How do you know how much effort I put into the arrangement and how perfectly it was executed?!"
"My teacher used to say that if the result is not right, there is no process score." Batman continued.
"Yes...... But do you know what I've achieved?!" Jonathan grabbed his hair like crazy, banged his elbow against the wall next to him and shouted, "I found out there was something wrong with the rain in Gotham!" So, it took me four years to solve the problem!!
"You found me because I poisoned Gotham's drinking water, right? But I'm telling you, it's not a poison, it's an antidote!"
"That hallucinogen comes from the fear gas, but it has another effect, it can infiltrate the toxins in the human body and induce them!"
"Their madness is actually a battle between hallucinogens and toxins in the body, and in the end, my antidote will defeat the poison and completely destroy the toxins in the rain!"
"I'm a hero, just like you, Batman, and I've done more than you!! Jonathan yelled hysterically, "I'm the real savior of Gotham, and you're treating me like a criminal and trying to kill and arrest me!!"
Batman pauses and says, "But, I'm not trying to kill you, I'm not arresting you."
"Uh......"
