Chapter 280: Rings and Bats: Planning and Prayer
"I've taken a closer look at your city, and to be honest, I've never seen a city so chaotic and full of sin. Outstanding?
I don't think even the most chaotic Hell's Kitchen I know can match Gotham in terms of the number and chaos of supercriminals.
I would like to ask, don't you have a professional psychologist here? I think it's full of psychopaths and lunatics. Even if you seem normal, I think you're a potential psychopath.
Don't tell you that if you want to get ahead in Gotham, you have to learn to drive yourself crazy!"
Rogers pushed away the thick information in his hand, his face full of helplessness. He had planned to use his accumulated experience as a politician and governing to help Wayne find an angle to change the city, but the more information he read, the more helpless he felt.
The city was completely ill, from top to bottom, a deep-rooted chain of interests had been formed, and the official connection with the dark world was even deeper than he had imagined, to the extent that it had been unabashedly deep.
Even if you can come up with a lot of evidence to bring down a big guy, it won't help. The unique ecological environment is here. What's more, you may not be able to take the other person down.
The city felt strange to Rogers, and he even felt that the city was alive, and that it had bred a group of lunatics with all their expertise in crime.
Rogers isn't afraid of supercriminals, even Hydra. But the mind of a madman, he can't speculate and speculate.
"I've heard that Gotham is a terrible city, but I never thought it was that bad. How the hell did ordinary people survive in this city?" Hal Jordan also felt an eye-opener, he had gone to the universe to open up some horizons, although it was short-lived, but Gotham's unique ecology still surprised him.
"So I'm going to change it." Wayne said calmly and calmly.
"How to change? Rely on you to fight criminals in the dark? IMHO, you have a better way, but choose the worst one. You're a smart man who's not smart in this matter." Rogers pointed out unceremoniously.
Hal opened his mouth, but after looking at the two of them, he closed his mouth again, he felt that he should not participate in the two powerful weirdos. The energy of the green light can indeed allow him to be powerful in his sector, and if he is a little depraved, he can even be the uncrowned king of the sector. But even if he had that idea, he was still vulnerable in front of two weirdos who were more favored by the green light.
"Harvey Dante."
Wayne tapped a few times on the keyboard, bringing up a person's message on a large large screen. "I have examined him for a long time, and he is an extremely self-disciplined prosecutor who advocates justice. He has been doing his part to try those criminals and is eager to bring order and stability to the city. I intend to help him and make him the administrator of the city."
"Good place to start, though I can't think of why you didn't come by yourself. But I must warn you that a mere messenger of justice will not solve the city's long-standing problems. If it gets sick, your medicine might make it better, but there's also a good chance that it will erupt like a volcano." Rogers sighed.
He admits that Wayne is a very smart man, but like a smart man named Stark in his impression, they have always learned a little bit only after they have suffered in relationships and complex politics. And Wayne has to face not only personal and political troubles, but also troubles to turn the city's climate around.
The latter, in Rogers' opinion, is more difficult than the former.
Before he became the Supreme Commander, of course, he would think that Wayne's method was a good method, but after sitting in that position and being exposed to a lot of information and affairs, even with the intelligent system and the think tank arranged for him by Nick Fury, he could expand his horizons and look at some issues rationally from a higher level.
Is Gotham's problem just a crime?
Why are all kinds of criminals and criminal incidents emerging one after another, and even private crimes and chaos have become the daily life of the city?
How many years old children are able to become proficient
Mastering criminal skills such as firearms and even pickpockets is fundamentally distorted.
This shows that the only way out for most of the bottom of the city is to learn to commit crimes and join gangs in order to survive in this harsh living environment. Their greatest skill is crime. Other than that, they have no better way to feed them.
The city is like a cage full of thorns.
Just a person who is good at enforcing justice may change the atmosphere of some cities in a short period of time, but if the most basic survival problems cannot be solved, then the anger will only be heavier. This is a test of one's political skills.
And the reversal of the trend did not happen overnight.
This made Rogers feel like he was a little scalp tingling! He didn't expect the city's problems to be so serious, so he had to consider whether he needed to build a collection device in the surrounding area to provide some positive energy for himself and his future team.
As for abandoning the city and choosing a new city to start over?
If it was just before he came, he might have had a choice, but now that the spiritual energy has begun to take root in this city and coexist with this city, he can't do without it.
His character and character did not allow him to leave behind the troubles that had arisen because of him, nor did the spirit of his ring. In Luke's words, any power has collateral effects, and when you use the ring's energy, you need to follow the rules of the ring itself. Just like the precepts, you can't betray your ring attributes.
Courage, tolerance, trust.
The price of Rogers' retreat was the loss of luster and amplification of the Ringwraith. Nor can he betray his heart. The only thing Rogers could pray for now was to expand the operation of the device as much as possible through the Wayne Group, and to enhance the signal to the coordinate points. Let's hope Luke can find him before everything gets out of hand.
[In view of the general environment,
Although he didn't know much, as the Commander, Rogers still knew a little about the existence of the Abyss. Although Nick's report was vague and vague, he still learned privately that the appearance of the abyss was closely related to spiritual energy. And the danger level of the abyss is marked as infinite by Nick. When the energy similar to the abyss appears, then this planet can almost be reduced to a Jedi of life.
Rogers didn't want to see that happen.
He could only try his best to delay and contain the birth of the abyss with his poor understanding of the abyss before Luke arrived.
