"Bruce, can I call you that?" Angela turned around, sighed, looked at Bruce and said, "Actually, I know what the FBI wants to do. I know their style of doing things very well."
"If I had to give this organization a comment, it would be endless suspicion and extreme greed. Everyone in this vortex doubts everything around them, but they also feel greedy for everything around them."
"When I first joined the FBI, I heard rumors that there was a group of people in the FBI who had other ideas about super criminals with abilities far beyond ordinary people."
Angela walked out from behind the chair, leaned her body on the desk, and elaborated in a recalling tone:
"There is a kind of person in this world who believes that all power that is not in their own hands is a danger, and now the head of the FBI's anti-violence investigation team, who is also my immediate boss, Amanda Waugh
Le, is the best among them."
"She would choose to recruit me and let me join her team precisely because I have sufficient experience in fighting these serial murderers."
"But she needs this experience, not because she wants me to be like a policeman and arrest the murderers of these serial murders, but she wants to be able to use the power of these madmen."
"She's a lunatic who's crazier than a lunatic," Angela concluded: "She's always looking for a way to control this group of lunatics and make them work for the FBI."
Angela sighed softly and said: "Although this is inconsistent with mainstream values and sounds like it will make people jealous and fearful, in the circle of the serious crime team, every famous police detective knows that
It’s a fact—many born lunatics are gifted with extraordinary talents.”
"This has not been clearly demonstrated in modern medicine. Many people believe that this is a manifestation of high-functioning antisocial personality. However, many years of experience in front-line criminal investigation tell me that it is difficult to say whether they are geniuses because of their madness, or whether they are geniuses because of their madness.
Genius and madness.”
"In the FBI's Youth Personality and Mental Stability Survey, approximately 4 million federal citizens reported that they had antisocial tendencies as teenagers."
"This is actually a very huge number, and excluding the part that is based on nonsense or delusion, there are at least hundreds of thousands of potential natural-born killers lurking in ordinary people's society."
"Leaving aside the mediocre ones who have almost no talent or whose level of genius is not much higher than that of ordinary people, we can at least screen out thousands or even tens of thousands of crazy geniuses."
"And if we continue to strive for excellence, it will not be difficult to build a think tank or army composed of dozens or even hundreds of super geniuses."
"This is Amanda Waller's plan." Angela sighed deeply, and then explained:
"But everyone knows that this group of lunatics will not listen to instructions at all. Although they are crazy, they are not stupid. Even those talented lunatics are much calmer and smarter than ordinary people. Of course they know, and
Cooperating with the FBI is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and no one will take the bait."
"What about the Amanda Waller you mentioned?" Bruce asked.
"This is the origin of the Lamb Project I mentioned before." Angela said, walked to the sofa and sat down, drank some water to moisten her throat, and then said:
"Waller believes that although this group of born lunatics cannot choose whether they are crazy or not, the crimes they committed due to their madness and the heavy disaster they brought to this society make them no longer as ordinary federal citizens.
generally possess human rights.”
"If they can never be caught, then they are considered powerful, but if they are caught and accepted the trial, they will be transformed from cruel and bloody hunters into lambs to be slaughtered."
"The cruel crimes they inflict on ordinary people will be repaid on themselves one by one, and their indifferent attitude towards ordinary people will also cause them to be treated in the same way."
"They once regarded ordinary people who were weak and hopeful in their eyes as silent lambs who could not resist. But if they became lambs, there should be shepherds to whip them, admonish them, and let them understand that bloodshed and pain bring
The fear given to humans is not diminished by their special talents."
"Amanda Waller wants to create a society of natural-born killers, to become the shepherd of these lost lambs, the master with ears of wheat and whips, and the Lamb Project was born just for this."
"Amanda Waller was the testing ground for her plan in 1983, nearly a decade ago, when she encouraged Congress to approve the construction of the Florence, Colorado, supermax prison."
"In the next ten years, she successively eliminated hundreds of serial murderers, and selected 20 super criminals and included them in the Lamb's List. In the past three years, they have been arrested one after another and subjected to
Tried and ultimately jailed.”
Bruce's eyes slowly narrowed. Angela didn't notice the change in his expression and just continued her narration.
"Waller attaches great importance to this experiment. All target personnel have been carefully selected, come from different industries, and have different special abilities. In order to ensure that the plan can proceed smoothly, from the moment the identity of the target personnel is determined, there will be
There are a series of plans unfolding against him."
"From arrest to trial to custody, every step has been carefully studied by Waller's team. All measures are targeted and deliberate. Most of the targets have not escaped arrest."
Angela reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, looking very worried. She squeezed the cup tightly with one hand and said, "There are people in Congress and large companies who are supporting Amanda Waller. They hope that the lamb she has tamed will be able to help her."
Therefore, her plan ran smoothly and was carried out smoothly without any trouble."
"Just last night, I got the news that Schiller Rodriguez, your teacher and my benefactor, was transferred and escorted to the Florence Super Prison. I also just learned that he had been raped by Amanda.
Waller is on to it."
Angela pursed her lips and said: "Previously, when Schiller was involved in the events in Central America, the reason why the FBI and the CIA did not investigate further was because Waller was mediating in it. She didn't want her to
The fancy lamb went to an ordinary prison for ordinary crimes."
Angela glanced at Bruce hesitantly, hesitated for a while, but still said: "For a long time when I joined the FBI, I was not trusted by Waller, and it was not until recently that I
Learned the details of Lamb’s plan.”
"Roughly speaking, Waller plans to create a completely closed testing ground to study what methods can be used to tame these lambs, including but not limited to many well-known torture methods."
"Waller knows that she cannot endanger the physical health of this group of lambs. The reason why they are lambs is because they are fragile, precious, and extremely irreplaceable. Therefore, mental punishment has become Waller's best option.
choose."
"I think you also know that heavy imprisonment and sensory deprivation can bring great pain to people. If the time is long enough and the methods are professional enough, it can completely destroy a person's personality and make them completely forget themselves."
Angela stood up, walked up to Bruce, looked into his eyes and said, "From a police perspective, I have no sympathy for this group of brutal criminals. They deserve whatever punishment they receive."
"When they hurt and abused ordinary people, they never thought that this day would come to pass, so they became extraordinarily rampant. And when they had to pay the price, no one would save them, and they brought it all on themselves."
"But I think Schiller is different." Angela looked seriously into Bruce's eyes and said, "Maybe he has killed people, but he has also saved people. At least, as a rescued person, I cannot completely follow the axioms.
Looking at his behavior from the perspective of others, I am not a machine to enforce the law, I also have my own feelings."
"Whether it is curing patients or teaching students, it is true that it cannot make up for the harm he caused to other ordinary people. However, as a patient who has been cured and a student who has devoted his efforts to teaching, we cannot just use the sentence "he deserves it" to evaluate his possible
Otherwise, what is the difference between us and those indifferent lunatics?"
"What's more, Amanda Waller is not dedicated to serving the public good." Angela shook her head and said: "From a macro perspective, all the forces behind this plan have other agendas. They are not out of charity.
They save ordinary people just to gain profits."
"From a microscopic perspective, Waller doesn't just hate these criminals, she envies them, is jealous of them, and wants to drain the blood called talent and pour it into her own body. She is not a shepherd, but a jackal."
"That's why, Bruce Wayne, I came to you, hoping that you can work with me to save Schiller, instead of letting your teacher, my benefactor, shed his blood in the dark torture and become food for others."
"Bruce, answer me, are you willing to do this?"
When Angela asked this question, she didn't see any expression on Bruce's face, or in other words, when she revealed this shocking plan, Bruce didn't show any expression either.
Angela felt that this should not be the reaction of a businessman, let alone the reaction of an exaggerated playboy, but Bruce was as quiet as a statue.
After another long silence, Bruce asked:
"Are you saying that the Florence super prison where Schiller is imprisoned is not actually a prison for criminals, but a laboratory for mysterious plans?"
Angela slowly took two steps back, because in those blue eyes she saw the icy storm on the polar coastline, with the howling coldness that made her back shiver.
Angela took a deep breath, nodded, and followed his words.
"The people imprisoned there are not criminals who have gone through a fair trial and paid the corresponding price, but are just silent lambs who satisfy Amanda Waller's desire for control and ambition."
Angela saw Bruce across from him slowly closing his eyes, as if he had made an important decision.
It seemed that at this moment, he lost his youthful youthfulness, and the silence lasted longer than a rainy night in Gotham.
But at this moment, he regained the purity of a newborn baby, and the cry that represented the new life was finally no longer the inarticulate whimper of a lamb begging for milk, but instead, the cry of a lamb in this world.
The only person standing gave an earth-shattering cry.
