Someone tampered with Barbara's computer, and someone else tampered with the computer at the Iceberg Restaurant. Could this be a coincidence?
Batman has never heard that there is such a clever hacker like a prophet in Gotham City. It doesn't make sense to say that the culprit is Scarecrow. Even if he has such powerful technicians under his command, his ordinary military vehicle cannot do it.
Mobility like a car.
Batman reorganized the timeline in his mind.
Tonight at 8:02, individual victims appear, and Scarecrow releases a plan to destroy Gotham with fear gas.
At 9:10, the bat light turns on, and Batman begins to officially fight against Scarecrow. He first resolves the street conflicts caused by fear gas, and at the same time asks Barbara to track Scarecrow's traces in Gotham City.
At 10:00, Batman was scratched on his arm during a street confrontation and saw the phantom of the Joker in the mirror for the first time. At the same time, Barbara discovered clues to the military vehicle.
At 10:20, Batman caught up with the military vehicle and subdued two of its personnel. After getting the next clue, the military vehicle was taken back to the Batcave.
At 10:40, Batman rescued Poison Ivy in Scarecrow's safe house, and at Peter's request, sent Poison Ivy back to the Batcave along with the poison seized from the driver.
At 11:00, unknown poisonous gas anesthetized the entire city, and an FBI plane showed up.
Obviously 11:00 is a watershed. Before that, everything was still within Batman's expectations, but after the unknown poisonous gas spread, things began to gradually get out of control.
At 11:10, Barbara called and Batman learned that Peter had been kidnapped.
At 11:30, Batman discovered the clues left by Scarecrow and followed the clues to the ACE Chemical Plant, but was ambushed. When he woke up, he saw Nightwing coming to support.
At 11:40, we resumed tracking the Scarecrow, chasing the Scarecrow all the way and discovering his four safe houses.
At 12:00, there was a confrontation on the rooftop with the Arkham Knight who came to stop him, and Gotham was bombed by missiles.
This was another watershed, and Batman found himself starting to lose control a little during this period.
At 11 o'clock, an unknown poisonous gas spread in Gotham, causing almost everyone in the city to be anesthetized. Shouldn't we investigate the source of the poisonous gas at this time? The best choice is to rush to the weather control center as soon as possible
.
But Batman didn't do that, he chased Scarecrow as if he was crazy.
No, he is not chasing Scarecrow, Batman suddenly thought, and when the Arkham Knight appeared on the roof to stop him, the inexplicable anxiety disappeared.
That sense of urgency is specific to Arkham Knight.
But why is this happening? There are so few clues now that Batman can only continue to think about it.
At 12:10, Batman woke up from the Batcave again. He remembered that when he beat Arkham Knight, the fear gas and the influence of the Joker virus took hold, causing Arkham Knight to run away, and he returned to the Batcave.
At 12:20, after chatting with Peter and learning that Penguin might be the culprit behind the military’s bombing of Gotham, Batman set off for the Iceberg Restaurant.
12:30, arrived at the Iceberg Restaurant, but did not find any suspicious traces here. The Penguin was rude and Batman broke his legs. Just when he was about to take him away, a message came from Nightwing and Batman left.
Go to the vault.
At 12:40, we arrived at the vault and found signs of violent demolition of the vault door. After some investigation, we suspected that Harley Quinn had robbed Gordon and his group and kidnapped Barbara.
At 12:50, the Penguin appears on the screen, announcing that he killed Jason Todd.
At 1:00, a vision of the Joker appears, saying that he is imprisoning and torturing Jason Todd, an explosion occurs in the street next door, and Peter is chased by the Arkham Knight.
There is another obvious question here. The biggest problem Batman faces at this time is the disappearance of Gordon and Barbara. What is the Penguin involved in this? Why is he chasing him?
Oh, it's because the Penguin and the military colluded, and the military bombed Gotham, but it was all blown up, and no one was injured. You can find the evidence anytime. Why did you go to the Iceberg Restaurant instead of going to the vault immediately?
Rescue Gordon, then find Barbara?
Batman feels that since 11 o'clock, his behavior has become very strange. He moves from left to right, chasing this and that, but no one catches up. Gordon and Barbara are missing, and Peter is kidnapped.
, ran out and was chased again. Robin's communication channel was silent for a long time, and none of Penguin, Scarecrow and Harley Quinn were caught.
Halfway through the investigation of this matter, I went to investigate another matter, but I didn't fully understand any of them. I don't know who released the mysterious anesthetic. I don't know how to break the fear gas. I don't know who kidnapped Gordon and Barbara.
I don't know, I don't know what Arkham Knight is going to do.
After working hard for a long time, not only did I not achieve any practical results, but I also didn't know anything about it.
Could it be that the clown virus and fear gas really made him lose his mind?
No, no, Batman became alert.
There was a problem with his judgment, and it was obviously not a forced error. During this half night, he did not encounter any life-related dilemmas, and no judgment was made in extremely dangerous circumstances.
When people are in a panic, their minds tend to go blank, and they will not consider the reasons. They will choose one at random with a revengeful or gambling mentality, and then sit back and watch the development of the situation with a desperate attitude. This is what happens in this situation.
Mistakes are called forced errors.
Batman feels that every choice he makes is carefully considered.
Now he looked back and thought about the reason why he delayed for several hours without discovering the problem. Because of this, he felt that every choice he made had a reason.
The Joker virus and fear gas that only exist in his brain obviously do not have the ability to create a cause in reality. If they are strong enough to control Batman's body to do bad things, then why are they still playing hallucinations?
In other words, it was not him who had the problem, but someone who created problems without problems in reality and created a lot of side tasks, completely disrupting the entire plan to fight against the Scarecrow.
And every problem he created successfully led Batman onto a side road that had nothing to do with the main plot. The reward seemed to be at the end of the side road, but before Batman got there, another side road appeared.
So Batman began a cycle of useless work, discovering an accident, learning a certain clue, following the clue, discovering another accident, and finding another clue.
This is equivalent to Batman repeatedly clearing the novice tutorial with a full-level account. You can't say that he didn't give rewards, but the rewards are almost nothing compared to Batman's level.
At the same time, the hostages or brave companions waiting in various levels also disappeared for various reasons because Batman was trapped in the novice tutorial.
Then think about it conversely, there must be a boss at the end of the level who deliberately set up such a trap, because if Batman kills all the way through the level, he will be the one who suffers the most.
Who will this BOSS be?
Batman first eliminated Scarecrow and Penguin. According to Batman's understanding of them, these two people have three things in common - poisoning, bribery, and popping champagne at halftime.
The Joker? No, the Joker is not like this. During this series of inductions, Batman did not feel any mental pain, nor did he face any human torture.
This is a very special style. He does not want to make anyone suffer, and he has no clear interest orientation. He does not even contain any emotions, but contains a slightly playful indifference and academic indifference.
He doesn't hate any chess piece. He doesn't want to gain any benefits by winning the game. Which move to make or simply throw the chess piece out is not out of rational judgment, but more like interest.
A thought suddenly appeared in Batman's mind - "Experiment?...an experiment?"
And his next thought was that another troublesome super criminal was about to appear in Gotham, even the most troublesome one after the death of the Joker.
Batman did not make this judgment based on thin air.
First of all, the timing of each tempting clue appears exactly when Batman wants to take the next step, but has not yet taken action.
So why didn't he take action? Because there were accidents, such as the first accident that narcotized the whole city, which successfully interrupted Batman's pursuit of Scarecrow.
Then a clue appeared and the FBI came. They appeared at such a good time that Batman would definitely suspect them, so Batman went to deal with the FBI.
Batman was about to attack the FBI plane when Barbara called and told Batman that Gordon was trapped and Peter had been kidnapped. Batman had to interrupt the FBI's line of investigation again.
And just when Batman wanted to support Gordon and investigate Peter's kidnapping, the clues left by the Scarecrow appeared again. He chased the Scarecrow to the ACE Chemical Plant and was ambushed.
Obviously this was another accident, completely interrupting Batman's multi-step plan to investigate the FBI and rescue Gordon and Peter, and then there were new clues...
Then it's a complete cycle, accident, clue, another accident...
During the review process, Batman keenly discovered that the accident not only interrupted his investigation, but also subtly manipulated his emotions.
"Very good, Peter." A deeper and even gentle voice sounded in Peter's ears.
Peter shuddered. He had met this personality once in the tower. He knew that his name was "Manipulation".
In that second, Peter Parker learned for the first time how loud his Spider-Sense could be.
They almost never spoke directly, because Peter Parker couldn't actually hear what he was saying at all, and the deafening sound of the spider sense completely blocked the voice.
And the moment his voice rang out, Peter was startled again, his ears buzzed again, and he couldn't hear what he said after that.
Then Peter heard the other party sigh helplessly, and his voice fell silent, as if he was communicating with other Schillers. After a while, the voice of Dr. Schiller that he was most familiar with sounded.
"Peter, don't worry, your plan went very smoothly, right? All of us give you high marks."
"But we want to know whether you used emotional manipulation guidance in this plan, and we want to hear your specific thoughts. Are you free to talk to us now?"
"Well, I'd love to say that, but I'm a little busy right now."
"what are you busy with?"
The onlooker's perspective switched from Batman to Peter, who was dragging a man and throwing him into the truck.
Looking carefully, the unconscious man being dragged was Robin, and in the shadows of the truck, there were Barbara and Gordon who were also unconscious.
"Busy to send them to where they should go."
