Chapter 702 You are sick (a 10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
“Hey! Wait! Don’t you feel obligated to explain to me what happened?”
Tony· Stark made an emergency stop and came closer, wanting to prevent the Supreme Mage Ancient One and Balthazar, who had opened the portal to Kama Taj, from leaving.
But unfortunately, Ancient Yi didn't even bother him. He went straight through the portal and closed the passage without paying any attention to this billionaire and genius scientist.
In comparison, Balthazar's attitude is a bit better. At least before activating the teleportation spell, he said, "If you want to know the truth, come to me at home. I don't want to explain the same thing twice." .
There is no doubt that this is the first time in history for Iron Man who always enjoys the attention of everyone wherever he goes. He was floating in mid-air for several minutes before he came back to his senses. I am not sure. He asked in a tone of voice: "Jarvis, was I ignored just now?"
"Yes, sir. Especially the Supreme Mage, who clearly showed contempt and disdain the moment he saw you. . ”
The artificial intelligence butler was as “honest” as ever and answered directly in the affirmative.
This obviously made Tony Stark a little embarrassed, and he immediately couldn't help but retort: "This is impossible! You must have seen it wrong."
"Then how do you explain it? She turned around and left without saying a word. According to the results I searched on the Internet, this behavior itself has a strong connotation of contempt."
Jarvis added the final blow in an emotionless tone.
In an instant!
Tony Stark, who was so aggressive one second, couldn't help but complained out of control the next second: "Damn it! They are so arrogant! Don't they have the right to participate in this if they don't understand magic? This is blatant discrimination!"
Jarvis used his own "humor" to complain: "Sorry, sir, you are not qualified to use the word arrogance! To describe others
Because in the eyes of many people, you are the most arrogant in daily life.
In addition, I must solemnly remind you that it is best not to participate in such too dangerous events again.
Your armor has proven to be completely defenseless against supernatural magical forces.
This was the case in the previous cult incident, and this time when I encountered the terrifying invasion of the dimensional demon, I almost fell out of mid-air and fell to death. "
"Shut up! I will find a solution. "
Tony was so angry that he yelled at his artificial intelligence butler.
After all, there is nothing more embarrassing and more self-esteem-damaging than trying to appear as a superhero twice, only to be offline from the very beginning and even have to wait for others to save your life.
More importantly, he realized that the armor and technology he was proud of were completely useless in the face of truly powerful power.
You can neither save others nor yourself.
Especially watching a plane fall from the sky and explode onto the road due to communication interruption and electronic equipment malfunction, causing the death of at least one to two hundred people, it felt terrible. .
And this is just the result of the Dimension Demon God leaking a little bit of power.
Iron Man simply couldn't imagine what the world would be like if a dimensional demon came to earth one day.
Will human civilization completely become history in an instant?
The strong sense of crisis that cannot be described in words began to have a huge impact on his spirit and heart, and his mood gradually became a little nervous and anxious.
Just when Tony was hiding in the suit, breathing heavily and trying to calm down, he suddenly heard a familiar phone ringing.
Out of a subconscious first reaction, he directly chose to answer.
moment!
Pepper Potts' concerned voice echoed in his ears.
"Tony! Where are you?"
"I'm over New York. What's wrong?"
Iron Man responded while heading towards Balthazar's residence Fly away.
He obviously knew very well that Nick Fury would definitely visit him as soon as communications were restored.
After all, this time it did not only affect a small city, but all countries on the earth witnessed the energy storm from the dark dimension.
The Security Council will certainly be eager to know what happened.
So as long as we can get there in time, we can know the truth.
As a very curious person, Tony Stark will not let go of this opportunity to get a glimpse of the secrets of the Dimensional Demon.
Pepper Potts obviously didn't know this, but he was visibly relieved after learning that his boss was fine, and immediately reported: "Due to the previous communication interruption, many equipment problems occurred in the building at the Stark Industries headquarters. , You'd better come back and deal with it as soon as possible, especially the power supply reactor. No one can handle it except you."
"Don't worry, give the employees a holiday and wait for me to finish it. Once you know the situation, go and solve it immediately."
Tony ignored the chaotic situation of Stark Industries and flew straight in the opposite direction.
Go and deal with these trivial matters now?
What a joke!
As a representative of the rich and willful, he doesn't care about the losses caused by the company's shutdown for a day or two.
“What are you busy with?”
Pepper Potts finally noticed something was wrong.
Tony responded casually: "You can't believe what I have experienced before and what incredible scenes I have witnessed. At this moment, I am rushing to Mr. Balthazar's residence to ask him about all this. The truth."
"What? You are one of the participants!"
Pepper Potts' tone revealed shock that could not be concealed.
“No, I’m not a participant, I’m just a bystander at best.
To be honest, I was really frightened this time, and I couldn’t even figure out what was going on.< br>
Anyway, give me some time first
I will tell you what happened when I get back.”
After saying this, Iron Man hung up the phone and increased the speed of the Iron Armor to the extreme.
It didn’t take long for him to cross a considerable distance and land directly in front of a luxurious villa on the outskirts of the city.
What a coincidence that Nick Fury also happened to get off the Quinjet.
The two stood in front of the lawn and stared at each other for half a minute. Finally, Nick Fury broke the silence first and asked: "What did you see?"
"I saw a rift in the sky, and the impressive face in the rift."
Tony gave the answer without thinking.
“Have you seen the Dimension Demon?”
Nick Fury’s eyes suddenly widened.
Tony nodded solemnly: "Yes, I saw it, and I also felt the unparalleled power.
To be honest, I can't even imagine what it would be like. Prevent such existence.
Compared with it, the civilization built by us humans is really quite fragile.
Maybe your Avengers plan is right.
We do need a special force to deter all enemies who attempt to invade the earth, and let them understand that there is a price to pay for doing so. ”
“I’m glad we can reach a consensus on this issue. Come on, let's go in and talk. Mr. Balthazar should be waiting for us inside. "
After that, Nick Fury took the lead and walked towards the door of the villa.
Just when he was about to ring the doorbell, the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open by a beautiful woman exuding amazing charm and temptation. It was the "Witch Queen" Igvirfu herself.
Since he had already registered a backup with SHIELD when he came here, Director Ludan recognized this mage who was marked as "extremely dangerous" by Basazat, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile and greeted: "Very very dangerous." It's an honor to meet you, beautiful lady."
"Hello, Mr. Director, and you, dear little Tony."
Igwilf said in a charming tone. His eyes teased Iron Man, causing the latter to have both physical and psychological reactions in an instant.
After all, Tony Stark has been a playboy for a long time, and he has always been carefree. When he meets the person he likes, he can't help but want to invite him to spar.
Although he started to calm down after being kidnapped, it is not so easy to get rid of the habit that has been formed for a long time.
Especially a woman like Igvirvo, who is as dangerous and crazy as a poppy, is like a cup of sweet poison to a man like him who longs for stimulation. Even if he knows it is poisonous, he will not tolerate it. I longed for a sip.
But fortunately, Iron Man's brain remained awake at the critical moment. He smiled bitterly and shook his head without responding to this provocation.
Because he knew that the woman in front of him was almost old enough to be his great-grandmother.
Under the leadership of Igvirvo, the two quickly walked into the living room of the house and saw Balthazar already sitting on the sofa waiting for a long time.
Next to him, sitting impressively was the female version of Sarevok, whose body exuded the strong smell of blood.
Based on the intuition of the Kings Agent, Nick Fury almost immediately concluded that this tough woman who looked more masculine than men must have killed people, and killed a lot of them, but he didn't say anything more. .
After all, he had long known from SHIELD field agents that this son of Baal, the God of Murder, had had more than ten battles with local gangsters since he came to Earth. Several cases.
Many unlucky people have lost their lives because they provoked people they dare not provoke, and many have been disabled for life.
Violence and bloodthirsty tendencies are simply not ordinary.
The only good thing is that Sarevok never messes with ordinary people.
Those who died at his hands were basically either drug dealers or gangsters.
After sitting down, Nick Fury asked straight to the point: "The culprit responsible for this global communication interruption is Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension? Did he launch an attack on the earth?"
"Yes.
But don't worry, this guy has been driven away by his master.
And this time he almost lost control of half of the dark dimension.
I probably won’t dare to come near your world for a long time. "
Balthazar also gave the answer that the other party most urgently wanted to know concisely.
"You mean... Lord Soth completely defeated Dormammu? ”
Nick Fury’s eyes suddenly shone, and his body leaned forward slightly.
Balthazar picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, and then nodded slightly: "Yes, he won the war between dimensional demons, and at the same time he fulfilled his promise to protect the earth from anything beyond your capabilities. The enemy invades.
Now he is cleaning up the half of the dark dimension that he has stolen. It is estimated that it will take one to two months.
If you have any questions or requests. , you can tell him in person when the master comes."
" Sir Soth is coming to Earth?"
Nick Fury could no longer remain calm and suddenly got up from the sofa. stood up.
Igvirvo smiled and comforted: "Relax, don't be so nervous, maybe he just wants to have something to eat and relax.
Unlike Dormammu, our master is not a murderous and destructive maniac. , and he is not interested in conquering a remote and backward planet.
He prefers to get what he wants through transactions.
And as far as I know, the master's hometown is a certain universe. The earth in the world, so he may also have certain emotions and curiosity about your earth.
You must know that in the world he visited and controlled, there is an earth that has developed a civilization of magic and wizards. With the help of Shuoyou, leapfrog development of science and technology was achieved
At present, we have stepped out of the earth and officially entered the era of space colonization within the scope of the star system. "
"What? Lord Soth was once a human on earth? ”
Nick Fury opened his mouth in disbelief, and finally understood why the other party offered such loose conditions.
After all, given the gap in strength and technological level between the two parties, , even if they directly send an army to occupy the earth and enslave all mankind, there will be no resistance on the earth's side.
But if this demon is also an earthling, at least he once was, then everything makes sense. < br>
Likewise, this also means that you can play the emotional card.
In just a few seconds, Director Lu Dan came up with a plan in his mind. He planned to immediately use the power of SHIELD to find the best chefs and the most exquisite chefs in all major cuisines in the world after returning. Luxurious clothes, selecting the most beautiful, charming and considerate women...
In short, do everything you can to awaken this powerful demon's longing for his hometown, and then make him regard the earth here as his second home. Two hometowns.
In this way, the earth can get more benefits and shelter from it.
You must know that after this small invasion by the dark dimension lord Dormammu, millions of people died around the world.
Some South American and African countries that had poor security in the first place even exploded on the spot, almost entering a state of anarchy.
Not to mention anything else, the counter used to count the soul currency in his hand has increased a lot.
Both the Security Council and SHIELD are deeply afraid of this.
Although they blamed the disaster on "an unknown phenomenon caused by a violent solar flare" through the news media, a small number of people have already become aware of the truth.
Hackers who have always been anti-government tendencies frequently invade email servers, hoping to find out the truth hidden by officials.
As a powerful legendary mage, Igvirvo easily read the thoughts in Nick Fury's mind, and raised the corners of his mouth with a playful smile: "If I were you, I would go back right now. Be prepared. If you can impress the owner, maybe he will give you a signed blank check like some rich people in this world."
"Thank you very much for providing such important information. "
Nick Fury quickly bent down and bowed.
Because this information is too important to him and even the entire earth.
As long as you can make good use of it, you will definitely get huge benefits from it.
"Then how are you going to repay me?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Igvirvo's eyes that was not easy to detect.
Nick Fury replied without thinking: "As long as it is within my ability and authority, any request you make will be met immediately."
"Ah! Great! In that case, please help me recruit a film shooting team."
Igvirvo made a straightforward request.
"Film shooting team?"
Not only Nick Fury was stunned, but even Iron Man beside him was stunned. The two looked at each other subconsciously.
Igwierfu stroked his long hair hanging from his ears with a seductive movement and explained: "I have always enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight, and I like to be praised and worshiped. So I I want to make a movie and debut as a star.”
“It’s a very reasonable request. I will help you form an excellent film shooting team as soon as I get back.” The corners of Nick Fury's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't notice anything wrong.
In his opinion, vanity is a common problem among women, even a mage with powerful magical power is no exception.
And in detail, this is also a good thing.
With Igwielvo’s beauty and temperament, once he becomes a star, he is bound to have a huge fan base around the world.
Even if it is to maintain and protect his fans, the other party will take action when the earth is in crisis.
In this way, the short conversation ended quickly.
After receiving the exact information, Nick Fury quickly stood up and left, planning to submit these important reports to the Security Council when he returned.
Iron Man said that he would fully support Igwielvo's star career. No matter what problems he encounters during the filming of the movie, he can call him. He still has some energy in the entertainment industry (he has slept with a lot of model, journalist and movie star).
After all the outsiders left, Balthazar frowned and asked: "What on earth are you planning?"
"Of course it is to gain faith!
< br>Haven’t you noticed yet?
The master sent us to this world in the hope that we can gain strength from the worship of those mortals and become gods or god-like powers.
You and Sarevok are both sons of God, and I have been favored by the will of the abyss and am considered a demon lord.
In other words, we all have the potential to become gods or powerful god-like powers. "
While saying these words, Igvirvo licked his lips greedily, not hiding his ambition and desire at all.
Sarevok stared at him The mobile phone left on the table showed a thoughtful expression: "So you thought of using celebrities, the group that is most likely to attract attention, to achieve the purpose of collecting beliefs? ”
Igvirvo nodded proudly: "Yes, that's it.
Look at those guys who do all kinds of stupid things because they are chasing stars.
I'm sure I have collected hundreds of It is easy to become a fanatical and devout believer.
Of course, you two can also take a similar path.
For example, Balthazar can create a superhero character in the future. When you appear in the public eye for a certain period of time, countless mortals will naturally regard you as a savior.
And you, Sarevok, can establish a terrifying legend in the minds of criminals, making them fear you, fear you, worship you, and even become an abstract symbol of a certain crime.
I believe that as long as we manage it properly, we can completely transform in this world. "
"Sounds good, what do you think? "
Sarevok was obviously moved, with strong expectations on his face and looked at the magical monk.
After all, Balthazar is the leader of this small group, and he is also the strongest person.
"As long as it does not affect the master's plan, I will not interfere too much with your actions. But please remember, don't spread too much chaos and killing, the master does not like this."
Basazar finally gave a positive answer after being silent for more than ten seconds.
Although he himself is not very interested in becoming a god or a god-like power, it is always good to be able to increase his power.
Especially after fighting Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension, he has realized that there may be many powerful enemies in this universe that he could not imagine, so strengthening his strength has become an agenda that must be put on the agenda. .
"Hahahaha! In this case, I will start thinking about how to seize and integrate gangs and criminal organizations in major cities in this country."
Sarovok laughed with a bloodthirsty and brutal expression, obviously It's about preparing for a big fight.
After all, he was an out-and-out careerist, with an extraordinary desire for strength and power.
I didn't show it before because I was suppressed by Zuo Si, but now this desire has finally found an outlet.
Become the supreme king of the underground world!
Create your own legend and become a symbol of crime, killing and death!
In contrast, Igvirvo has begun to prepare magic rituals that can hypnotize and psychologically suggest thousands of people at once, intending to turn all fans into his own licking dogs and fanatics believer.
Watching the two chaotic and evil guys sharpening their knives beside him, Balthazar could not help but sigh secretly.
If possible, he actually prefers to cooperate with followers with lawful tendencies such as Sun Knight Davian and Storm Archer Lantis.
But what the divine monk didn't know was that Davian also felt a headache at this moment.
Because the place he is currently in is the famous Gotham City, and the man standing not far away wearing a black pointed-eared hood is Batman Bruce Wayne.
In fact, this is not the first time the two have met.
But the atmosphere is still so awkward that you can dig out three rooms and one living room with your toes on the ground.
After a full minute, Batman said through the voice changer: "You should not kill them, but hand them over to the police and the judicial system for trial."
"And then let these scum escape and continue to harass, rob and rape innocent civilians on this street?
The city was in complete decay and the only way to save it was to destroy it and rebuild it.
What's more, I was just acting in self-defense.
They shot at me first, and then I shot back. ”
Davian raised his head and revealed his eyes that were as bright and dazzling as the sun in the night.
Obviously, like Balthazar, he was also completed at almost the same time. The planeswalkers were sent here
However, it is different from Balthazar who contacted SHIELD immediately after showing his power.
Instead of waiting for official contact, he was recruited by various criminal organizations including gangs.
Some even come to visit with boxes full of banknotes and scantily clad women, saying that as long as they are willing to be loyal to them, they can choose whatever they want, whether it is wealth, women or power.
It must be said that Gotham City, with its simple folk customs and abundant talents, really shocked the Sun Knight.
He originally thought that certain city-states controlled by thieves guilds in Faerûn were bad enough.
But compared with this, the small problems in the former are nothing at all.
On the contrary, Gotham City's twisted, sick, chaotic, but logically self-consistent society makes people full of despair and want to go crazy.
No wonder this city is teeming with all kinds of pathologies, lunatics and monsters, all of which are forced out by the environment.
The protector of the city in front of him, Batman, is the most seriously ill monster, bar none.
He thought he was protecting the city, but little did he know that from the moment he put on the mask, he had become a part of Gotham City, and also one of the psychopaths, madmen and monsters. .
At least in Davian's eyes, there are few people in this city who can be called "normal".
Everyone has a disease, a terrible contagious mental illness.
"But the guns in their hands pose no threat to you at all. What you are doing is not self-defense at all, but over-defense."
The master glanced at the easily smashed guns on the ground. The corpse with a collapsed head or chest retorted.
As someone who adheres to the no-kill principle, he obviously does not like this situation of directly bypassing legal procedures and killing criminals on the spot.
What's more, Gotham is his territory.
Under normal circumstances, when encountering similar things, he would usually just grab the other person and throw them to the police.
The reason why I am not taking action now is because I am not sure.
You must know that when the two met for the first time, Batman had already tried to capture each other once.
As a result, several bones were broken that time, and he lay in bed for more than two months without being able to get up.
This is the result of showing mercy.
Since then, Batman has been collecting intelligence on Davian and repeatedly formulating strategies against the latter.
Unfortunately, he has not been able to find out the details of the man in front of him so far.
The only thing I know is that the other party never shows mercy when facing evil crimes. He basically kills every one he encounters. In just a few months, he has killed thousands of people. .
Even the craziest one was when he rushed directly into the gang's lair and slaughtered hundreds of people including the boss.
Since this incident, no one in the entire Gotham City has dared to provoke this terrifying god of murder who completely ignores guns and explosions. They have assumed that the entire area around here is his territory, and the security is extremely good.
Even land prices have increased by more than 70%.
Many civilians who were fed up with being threatened and exploited by gangs and criminal policemen rushed in frantically, forming a very prosperous commercial street.
Except for outsiders who know nothing about it, even thieves and drug dealers dare not approach easily.
Because unlike Batman, who would only receive a beating and then go to jail, this one completely ignored the laws and rules and would kill even the police who took money from gangsters to cause trouble.
"You are sick! And you are very sick!"
Davian stared into Bruce Wayne's eyes and said word by word.
"Am I sick?"
Batman was stunned.
Because this was the first time he heard someone commenting on himself like this.
You know, in Gotham City, some people love him, some hate him, some fear him, some curse him, but no one has ever said that he is sick.
But Davian nodded seriously: "Yes, you are sick.
Your worldview and values have been distorted by this city that exudes chaos and evil.
I think that as long as I set the bottom line of the principle of not killing, I can stick to my humanity and prevent myself from becoming one of those crazy criminals.
But I don’t know that this just becomes a constraint on you and makes your heart and mind. The source of morbidity.
What’s even more ridiculous is that in a city where systemic corruption has reached an extreme level, you are trying to use the law to limit crime, thinking that the law represents justice.
Remember, the essence of law is the manifestation of the will of the ruling class.
Who do you think the ruling class in Gotham City are?
Why did this city abolish the death penalty?
You must know that the death penalty is the best means to deter vicious crimes, bar none.
And you, who know all this but still insist on the principle of no killing and insist on using the law to fight crime, are you not sick?
Why do you think people in this city are never grateful to Batman?
Because from a utilitarian point of view, everything you do is meaningless and useless.
Countless criminals have gone into prison and come out again, continuing to cause trouble as before. Nothing will change at all.
They know very clearly that they will never die in your hands, let alone be sentenced to death due to judicial trial, so why are they still afraid?
Do you think you can really become the tool in the hearts of all criminals in this situation?
Trust me!
If one day a criminal is being hunted by his enemies, the person he wants to see most urgently is definitely you.
What's more, since you insist on the principle of no killing, why are you so keen on using lynching and violence to solve problems?
Repression, arrogance, paranoia, schizophrenia, psychological trauma...
In my opinion, what you need now is not to punish evil and promote good to protect the city, but to find a psychiatrist. ”
There is no doubt that these words hit the master’s heart like a bullet in an instant, so that he stood silent for a long time.
But soon, Batman relied on his own His heart, which has been tempered for thousands of years, can also be said to be riddled with holes, calmed down his restless emotions, raised his head and asked: "What about you?
What is your psychology and purpose in killing those criminals and gangsters?
Do you regard yourself as a messenger of justice or a god?
Do you also want to be like the guy who appeared in Metropolis and rely on your own powerful power to look down and rule the mortals? ”
“No, neither.”
I just can’t stand it.
I am not interested in being a savior, nor do I feel that I have an obligation to help or save everyone in this world.
You can understand that I am acting according to my own preferences.
Since law and order in Gotham City have become ineffective, and even gangsters can establish rules on their own territory, why can't I?
At least I will not force teenage girls to stand on the street, nor will I charge protection fees, nor will I sell various contrabands, or force families to disperse through loan sharking. To a dead end. ”
Davian expressed his attitude clearly.
Although he was not sure what the diary’s purpose was in sending him to this place, he was certain that it must be related to the bat in front of him. Xia can't escape the relationship
"..."
Bruce Wayne apparently has nothing to say about this.
Because he knew Davian was right.
The gangs in Gotham City have long broken away from the boundaries of ordinary criminal organizations and have completely integrated with the city itself.
It is not only an important force in maintaining governance, but also the pillar of the underlying economy.
God knows what chaos would be like if the gangs did not rule the streets.
Maybe countless perverted murderers and psychopaths will emerge overnight.
Compared to these deadly things, gangsters who want money are slightly better.
This is why Batman has been fighting crime for many years and sending gang leaders to prison one after another. But in the end, Gotham City's criminal industry is still booming. Instead of shrinking, it is growing at an extremely rapid rate. .
The reason is very simple!
He always attacks only one or two people or the upper-level gang he belongs to.
The disappearance of these people does not mean that the entire industrial chain has disappeared. It will not be long before the people below will fight to find the winner and continue to engage in these illegal and criminal money-making businesses.
After all, it is not easy to find a real job in a place like Gotham City.
On the contrary, gray and black industries have no threshold and are the most ideal choices for poor people with little education.
As long as you dare to fight hard and don't die in gang fights, you can climb to a good position in a few years.
After being silent for a long time, Bruce Wayne finally could only say "I'll keep an eye on you", then he fired his grappling gun and jumped onto the roof, then disappeared into the night sky on his Batplane.
About seven or eight minutes later, he returned to his Batcave, took off the armor on his body and the helmet on his head, with a depressed and defeated expression on his face.
“Ah, sir, you are finally back.
I have to say that since Mr. Davian appeared, it can be said that you come back earlier and earlier every day.
If this continues, it might not be long before Batman retires.
I just made a pot of hot coffee. Would you like a cup?”
Alfred, the butler, asked with a smile, holding up the steaming coffee pot in his hand.
It is not difficult to tell from the slightly joking look in his eyes that he heard all the conversation just now.
The most important thing is that this "Butler Man" very much agrees with Davian's remarks. He is indeed ill, and his illness is not serious.
Otherwise, how could you leave the sole heir and billionaire of the Wayne family alone and not become a vigilante?
Not to mention the effort was thankless, and it often resulted in injuries all over my body, and I almost lost my life several times.
What's more important is that you don't have to fall in love, get married, or have children at your age.
If anything happens, the Wayne family will have to die.
As someone who grew up watching Bruce Wayne and even played a father figure to some extent, Alfred longed more than anyone for Batman to completely disappear from this world.
“Do you also think I am sick?”
Bruce Wayne asked in an uncertain tone.
"If you need a psychiatrist, I can recommend a few."
Alfred did not directly give a positive or negative answer, but used one or two very high emotional intelligence expressions .
As an excellent butler, he knows how to take care of his master's face and self-esteem.
But Bruce Wayne is so smart that he immediately understood what his butler wanted to express, and laughed at himself in a rather tired voice: "So even you think I was wrong from the beginning. , Shouldn’t we walk on this dark road full of thorns?”
“I didn’t say that.
But you can't deny that Mr. Davian did change Gotham City.
At least that's what it looks like in the neighborhoods he controls.
And this is what you and Sheriff Gordon have spent many years failing to do.
There is an old saying in the far East, which is that no one can be established without breaking.
Sometimes destruction is not the beginning of a new life. ”
As he spoke, Alfred poured a cup of hot coffee and handed it to him, adding a piece of sugar to it.
“But he killed thousands of people for this! Although these people are criminals and gangsters, this act of randomly taking the lives of others without judicial trial is a crime.”
Bruce Wayne said angrily.
He is obviously still insisting on his own ideas and opinions, and is not convinced by Davian.
Alfred responded with a smile: "Killing without trial is indeed a crime.
But please don't forget a sentence in "The Return of Sherlock Holmes Milverton".
If the law cannot bring justice to the parties involved, private revenge is legitimate and even noble from this moment on.
You care so much about procedural justice that you have overlooked that the role of law is actually to restrain people's behavior and form a stable social environment.
If criminals no longer fear the law, then what is the point of its existence? "
"So you support the murderer of unknown origin? ”
Bruce Wayne raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
“No, I’m just reminding you that Mr. Davian is not strictly a bad person.
There is no need for you to be so hostile to him.
Not to mention that you have investigated so much No information or materials related to him have been found for a long time, which can already explain a lot of problems.
I think there will be no results even if we continue to pursue it.
If you really want to get to know him, it's better to visit him directly and ask straight to the point.
Since you have no good way to deal with him now, why not try to become friends?
After all, in addition to being Batman, you are also the owner of Wayne Group, controlling unimaginable wealth.
The economic situation in that area is now booming and is very suitable for large-scale investment and construction. ”
Alfred made a very obscure suggestion.
Bruce Wayne's eyes immediately lit up after hearing this. He picked up the cup and took a sip of hot coffee, quickly formulating a new plan in his mind.
