Chapter 215: Gotham Di Renjie - Director Barnes
The exorcism team of four people from Los Angeles has tried to hide the movement in Los Angeles despite trying to hide the movement as much as possible.
But it is still in the world of ordinary people, which has caused a lot of impact.
It even affected Arkham Asylum.
However, the impact on Arkham Asylum is that even Levi, the dean, really doesn't know how to evaluate it.
Because in the past three days, many ordinary citizens in Gotham City who claim to have mental illness have come to Arkham Asylum for treatment.
Originally, Levi and the others in Arkham Asylum didn't care about this matter.
After all, there is only one hospital in Gotham that can treat mental illness.
However, after Dr. Hugo examined the visiting "patients", it was found that they did not have any obvious mental problems at all.
This was true not only for one patient, but for almost all of the patients who came to Arkham Asylum for three days.
Even if the other party is found to have a mental illness, it is definitely not the schizophrenia that the other party claims to be!
In the end, Dr. Hugo and the others found out that the reason why these people thought they were suffering from schizophrenia was entirely because they only felt that they had slept for a while, but when they opened their eyes, they found that they were not only covered in injuries, but even fractured.
And they have no impression of these injuries on their bodies at all!
This forced them to turn their suspicions in the direction of sleepwalking or schizophrenia.
After Levi listened to Dr. Hugo's report, his face was full of tears and laughter.
As for what these people said, it was entirely because the "patients" who came to Arkham Asylum for treatment were all hosts of evil spirits who had been rescued by a four-person exorcism team.
These unlucky ghosts possessed by evil spirits will not have any memory of the period of demonic possession after the evil spirits are destroyed.
It just feels like I've been asleep for a long time.
When I woke up, I was covered in injuries, and even broken bones and tendons.
It's hard not to think about this to anyone when this happens.
Levi knew very well what was happening to them, so he told Dr. Hugo the reason for it, and told him not to care.
Dr. Hugo was also a little laughing at this situation.
Of course, he will not tell the truth to these ordinary people.
For these ordinary people, ignorance may really be a blessing.
If they knew that they had been possessed by evil spirits and had done many things they had never dared to think about before, they would probably have lived in this psychological shadow for the rest of their lives.
In the end, Dr. Hugo only prescribed them a sleepwalking diagnosis, and casually prescribed some tranquilizers for them to take back, telling them that they should not have this kind of "sleepwalking" in the future.
After settling these self-proclaimed mentally ill patients, the name of Arkham Asylum has once again spread in Gotham City.
It's just that this time it's not the kind of "notoriety" that was spread in the underground world before, but a name like the Holy Hand of Medicine......
This complicates the reputation of Arkham Asylum within the confines of Gotham City.
On the one hand, there is the notoriety that circulates in the underworld.
On the other hand, it is a good name that circulates in ordinary people's society.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the reputation of Arkham Asylum is both good and evil......
As for the unlucky ghosts who are possessed by evil spirits and do all kinds of abnormal behaviors.
In the investigation after the Gotham Police Department received the report, it was naturally easy to find out about them.
In Gotham, it's those supervillains who are hard to catch, not these ordinary people.
Not to mention Gotham's single-handedness to King Gordon, even an ordinary police officer can track down clear clues.
After following the clues to trace these unlucky ghosts, those unlucky ghosts confessed to their actions
admit it, and take out the sleepwalking diagnosis certificate that Dr. Hugo gave them before.
When the officers saw the sleepwalking diagnosis certificate issued by Arkham Asylum, they were all in trouble.
Theoretically, these people are completely mentally ill with formal documents.
Coupled with the fact that these surviving unlucky ghosts did not cause much damage and harm, there is no need to pursue their legal responsibility at all.
Now Gotham is busy with the Mad Hatter who was thrown near the police station by the mysterious man - mainly because he is afraid that the Mad Hatter has other spare bombs......
How can there be extra police force and effort to deal with this little case!
However, due to the large number of these unlucky ghosts, and all of them only have a sleepwalking diagnosis issued by Arkham Asylum.
Such a large-scale coincidental incident made these police officers smell something unusual.
In the end, these police officers can only truthfully report the situation they have traced upwards and let the people above make a decision.
The officer's report was handed in one by one, and it soon ended up in the office of Chief Barnes.
It was Sergeant Gordon who personally sent the report.
After Director Barnes took the report and read it, his whole person fell into deep thought.
After a long moment of silence, Director Barnes looked up at Gordon.
"Gordon, what do you think about this?"
Levi, who was far away in the office of the director of the Arkham Asylum, almost didn't laugh out loud after hearing Director Barnes's extremely familiar words.
It would be much more reasonable if Gordon's name was replaced by Yuan Fang.
Maybe this Barnes Director may really be Gotham's Di Renjie?
Levi, who had a strange expression on his face, suddenly thought of this.
In this dark place of Gotham, why can't the upright Barnes be Gotham Di Renjie?
Levi couldn't help but laugh dumbly when he thought of this.
Regardless of whether Director Barnes is Gotham Di Renjie or not, at least his ending is not compatible with Di Renjie, and he has prepared a "big gift" for him......
And on the side of the Gotham Police Department, the conversation between Chief Barnes and Sheriff Gordon continues.
Although Gordon is only the position of sheriff.
However, it is clear to everyone throughout the Gotham Police Department that the reason why Gordon is only the position of Sheriff is because the Gotham Police Department does not have the position of Deputy Chief.
Otherwise, Gordon should already be the deputy director at this time!
Nominal sergeant, de facto deputy commissioner.
Not only because of Chief Barnes's trust in Gordon, but also because many of the Gotham Police Department's operations are handled by Gordon.
After hearing Director Barnes's question, Gordon said with a serious expression and holding the report in Director Barnes's hand.
"Director, this matter is definitely not simple, I suggest continuing to investigate! I don't know what the hell Levi is trying to do, but Arkham Asylum is definitely not clean in this matter!"
Gordon was still in the same attitude as before, and this was expected by Director Barnes.
Director Barnes shook his head.
"Gordon, we are a police station, everything must pay attention to evidence, Arkham Asylum just gave these people a normal psychiatric evaluation, and there is no need to investigate it."
Gordon's neck stalks.
"Can ......"
This time, Director Barnes didn't give him a chance to finish, and waved his hand at Gordon, interrupting him.
"Gordon, I'll ask you a question, do you have proof?"
Just one sentence swallowed all the remaining words of Gordon into his stomach.
Oh, yes!
He has no proof!
This is also the reason why Gordon has always known that Arkham Asylum is not simple, but he has always been helpless against those people.
It's really Arkham Asylum that is too clean.
They couldn't find any evidence at all.
Gordon puffed out his cheeks and was silent for a moment before nodding to Director Barnes.
"Okay, Chief, I see, I'll talk to the officers later."
Gordon knew that he was the only one who was fit to give instructions to these officers to close the case.
If it was Director Barnes who gave the order, then if Arkham Asylum really helped Director Barnes create an antidote to the blood toxin in the future, I am afraid that the order given by Director Barnes today would inevitably be gossiped about.
Now that the situation in Gotham has gradually stabilized, Gotham Police Chief Barnes must also pay attention to his image.
"By the way, Director."
Gordon walked out the door, but when he got to the door of the office, he suddenly remembered something and turned to Barnes and asked.
"The Mad Hatter still doesn't say anything, would you like to take a look?"
Barnes' cheeks twitched slightly, then shook his head.
"No, I have other things to do, so I'll leave these things to you."
Gordon nodded again, didn't think much of it, turned around and left the director's office.
Anyway, many things in the Gotham Police Department have been assigned to him by the chief, and he has long been used to it.
After Gordon left the director's office, Barnes, who was originally sitting in the office chair, suddenly stood up, and his expression instantly turned irritable.
He punched the desk in front of him.
"Boom!" The desk made of solid wood made a loud noise, leaving a bloodstained fist mark on the table!
Fortunately, the sound insulation of the chief's office was very good, so it was not noticed by other police officers who were in the hall of the police station.
Barnes looked irritable, but he looked down at the wound on his fist that had just been punched, and cold sweat broke out uncontrollably from the corner of his forehead.
It doesn't hurt.
Although the wound from the punch just now was indeed painful, the pain was just a drizzle for Barnes, a tough guy.
Now Barnes is suffering from a different question!
That is, the kind of blood toxin he was infected with was affecting him more and more!
The toxins extracted from Alice's blood amplify the desires and aggression of the human heart.
The specific manifestation of Director Barnes is to make him jealous and hateful.
It's like killing your father's enemy! I want to tear all the criminals to pieces!
Just now, just when Gordon mentioned the Mad Hatter, Barnes's heart uncontrollably rose with murderous intent.
If it weren't for his good self-control, I'm afraid he would have rushed out of the office just now, rushed into the interrogation room, and strangled the mad hatter to death!
This is one of the reasons why he has recently transferred almost all of the Gotham Police Department's front-line related tasks to Gordon.
Barnes himself wasn't sure if he saw the criminal with his own eyes, would he be uncontrollable and kill him without control!
However, this, but there is no way to mention it to other people.
Now, with the joint efforts of the police officers led by Barnes, although the situation has gradually stabilized, the problems within the Gotham Police Department have gradually emerged.
It is precisely because Barnes has led the stabilization of the situation in Gotham that his significance in the music police department is now more than just a chief, but more like a spiritual totem for many police officers.
As long as Barnes is there, the officers won't let them back down, no matter what difficulties they encounter.
However, if there is a problem with Barnes, it will also have a very big impact on the officers in the police department.
In the ancient confrontation between the two armies, it was a great chaos in the hearts of the army!
When the time comes, I am afraid that he will not have to wait for his own problems, and the other cases of Gotham will be heard, causing a chain reaction......
Therefore, Director Barnes himself did not dare to mention the problem of his own current situation to anyone.
Even for half an insider
Gordon, he didn't dare to inform the other party about the deterioration of blood toxins!
What Director Barnes can do now is be prepared for both.
On the one hand, pray that Arkham Asylum will be able to research a cure before he gets completely out of control.
On the other hand, he was prepared for the worst.
If he gets out of control, then he will let Gordon take his place.
He now has a lot of work that should have been the bureau chief given to Gordon, and he has that in mind.
Barnes stared at his red eyes as he panted as he tried to calm himself.
After calming down a bit, he sat back in his office chair, took a tranquilizer from a drawer, and stuck it in his lap......
For the scene that happened in the office of the chief of the Gotham police department, it happened to be in Levi's eyes.
Director Barnes had brought Gordon to Arkham to visit him in person before, so Levi naturally knew the condition of Director Barnes very well.
Now, Alice has fully joined the ranks of Arkham Asylum's "own people".
Dr. Hugo hadn't figured out what the unknown ingredient in Alice's blood was, though.
However, it was not a problem for Dr. Hugo to find an antidote with this ingredient.
To put it simply, if the doctor could find a material that could synthesize this unknown component.
During the four days that the four-member exorcism team traveled through Gotham, Dr. Hugo found an "antidote" that neutralized the unknown ingredient the next day.
But Levi let him swallow it in his stomach.
This is a "big gift" specially prepared by Levi for Director Barnes!
Given the antidote, how can Director Barnes still get more power?
"It seems that the time when Chief Barnes will become his own is not far away......," Levi muttered as he stood in front of the window of the Dean's office, looking in the direction of the Gotham Police Department.
You can tell from the smile on the corner of his mouth that he is in a good mood.
On the other side, the four-person exorcism team from Los Angeles finally visited all the marked locations in the "simple and simple" environment of Gotham.
At this point, all the evil spirits and supernatural creatures that appeared in Gotham this time have been dealt with!
It was also because of this exorcism trip that the four of them finally understood what it means to be truly simple and simple.
Even evil spirits, which are frightening to humans in legends, will inevitably encounter Waterloo when they come to Gotham!
After confirming that there were no missing spirits, the four of them planned to return to Arkham Asylum.
On the way, the four of them had already thought about their next plans.
After this exorcism journey, they have proven their abilities through actual combat.
Although he still can't catch up with Levi, he still faces ordinary evil spirits, hellish creatures, and even most hellish demons.
The strength of four people can definitely cope and will be wiped out or driven back to hell.
Next, they will move on to the next city to continue to eliminate the supernatural beings who are about to come to the human world because of the proximity of the hellish dimension to the human dimension!
To put it bluntly, it's a roving exorcism.
Soon, the four of them returned to Arkham Asylum.
Konstantin took the lead, and the four of them came to Levi's dean's office.
When Konstantin heard about their plan, Levi had no opinion at all.
Levi even wrote a check with a lot of money to the four of them as their next activities and daily expenses.
After all, the four of them don't have any financial resources now, and Chas a wife and daughter in Los Angeles.
Although Levi was reluctant to get involved in the dispute between human forces, he never forgot his position and original intention.
That is, as a member of the human race, it is the duty to help humanity defend against aliens on other planets or supernatural beings in other dimensions.
As for these four
Individuals, three of them are loaded with the heroes they have given to each other.
Levi didn't care.
He never wanted to tie these hero template carriers to his side, and he didn't need these hero template carriers to solve any trouble for himself.
If there really is an enemy that even he can't defeat, then even if these hero template carriers are added, it will not play any decisive role.
What Levi wants is that when humanity or the earth is threatened by outsiders, humanity has enough strength to defend against those external threats!
When the time comes, it will be enough for these hero template carriers to stand up!
The hero template carriers that are still stranded in the Arkham Asylum, except for the old employees such as Dr. Hugo, are indispensable, and the other hero template carriers have nowhere to go for various reasons.
Otherwise, Levi wouldn't mind throwing them all out and seeing how much trouble these hero template carriers could make in this DC universe!
Dr. Hugo also came over.
It's not that Dr. Hugo likes to make a lot of fun, it's that he's going to leave behind the loot that Levi and the others brought back from Los Angeles - angel feathers that are enough to make ten artificial angels.
Recently, this is the subject of Dr. Hugo's experiments, and there has been initial progress - in addition to the simplest and crude method of making angel wings, it is also possible to make more artificial angels by adding appropriate materials and processes to make more full use of these angel feathers......
After hearing about the progress of Dr. Hugo's experiments, Konstantin was overjoyed.
He really didn't expect that there were still people in Gotham who could make more full use of angel feathers in other ways.
Konstantin and others naturally did not have any opinions.
If Dr. Hugo could really figure out this solution, then the problem that the evil spirits they feared might reappear would not be any problem!
"By the way, John......" Levi suddenly stopped Constantine, who was about to leave, "If you encounter any strange phenomena or strange people or strange legends in other cities, remember to call me, I need these things......
