In Batman's eyes, everything seemed to suddenly press the acceleration button.
No one, as usual, waited for him to investigate carefully, prepared countless backup plans, and then planned to carry them together, and took things firmly in his own control.
Clark's article was written very quickly, and it took roughly one night. But he did not publish this article through the editor-in-chief of Planet Daily because he did not want to implicate ordinary people.
Reports from a while ago made him famous, so he also had his own personal homepage. Although he didn't have many fans, his fans are experts in spreading news that are active on various public opinion platforms all year round. Even smaller newspapers have
Not as powerful as their influence.
As soon as the article was released, the world was in an uproar.
Some people may think that everyone already knows that Gotham is so bad, so they still have any unrealistic expectations for it? Why are they surprised by such bad things?
In fact, it is not ordinary people who really feel shocked by this kind of thing, but the upper class of the entire world.
Ordinary people just like watching fun, and talk about it. But once you say it, you will be over. They come to pursue blood and violence, and then they will leave after satisfying the curiosity.
But the upper class really felt shocked.
This involves one problem, that is: Since you dare to do anything bad in the upper class, how can you be afraid of being exposed?
Or, they are already so powerful, so why should they bow to social moral standards?
Can't we admit that I am evil, I am cruel, I am just ignorant?
Throughout history, there is also a very interesting phenomenon. No matter which country or region it is, the tyrants will try to avoid others saying that they are a tyrant and even kill more people for this.
Then why can't he admit that he is a tyrant?
Theoretically, he has already stood at the top of the human pyramid. He just recognizes it, so what can he do?
Not only do they refuse to recognize it, they even have to speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Whether they are killing innocent people indiscriminately or taking human lives, they must become famous. If they really can't find an excuse, they have to make up one nonsense.
Why is this?
In fact, it’s not that they are stupid and doing useless work, it’s precisely because they are too smart.
They understand that maintaining morality is actually maintaining their own rule. And the collapse of social morality means that the day when their rule collapses is not far away.
The upper class does not believe in the theory of the God of Choice. They understand more than anyone how powerful the ordinary people who seem to be trampled by them are.
In addition to the laws they enact, there are also social morality. Laws maintain upper limits, and morality maintains lower limits.
The destructive power generated by a tyrant who ignores morality may be 100, and the destructive power generated by an ordinary person who ignores morality may be 1. The difference seems to be very large, but the difference is even greater is the quantity.
A tyrant does something bad every day, causing 100 damage. However, among ten thousand ordinary people, even if only one-tenth of them do evil, the damage caused is one hundred times that of his.
Although it can be guided through various means to make most of the damage fall on ordinary people, under a huge base, even if one thousandth of the damage falls on the ruler, it will be a top-notch
Disaster.
Therefore, rulers must maintain social morality. Even if anything they do does not meet the moral standards, they have to find ways to cover it up and try their best to make excuses for themselves. If they can’t find it, they have to show their attitude.
Otherwise, once people have the idea of "I can do it too," your death situation will definitely exceed your imagination.
Clark's articles will shock the upper class because they think that Gotham's upper class must be crazy. How can they do evil so bluntly and obviously? Isn't this seeking death?
Even if you want to start a gambling game, can you just play in your own circle? Even if you want to bet on the lives of ordinary people, why do you have to tell ordinary people? Even if it is not intentional, this is too uncautionary.
Moreover, it’s okay if the news flows out, but they even print out the evil and perverted ideas into a book, as if they are afraid that others don’t know how cruel you are. Isn’t this a broken brain?
There are only a few people in the upper class, how many people are in the entire Gotham City? If those ordinary people know, you want to use these cruel traps on them, so that they will let you understand what true cruelty is.
There is also an unwritten rule in the upper class, that is, not to play with idiots.
You can be bad, but you can't be stupid. If you are stupid, you'd better hide it. Once it's exposed, no one will give you kindness to remind you or help you. They just want to wait for you to die and come and have a bite of the meat.
This is true on the individual level, and on the urban and regional levels.
There are only so many resources. If everyone in one place takes away, then there will be no people in another place. And if fewer people in one place get, there will naturally be more in other places.
Gotham is the richest city on the East Coast. When something happened to Gotham’s group, the first thing that benefits were the metropolis, then other cities on the East Coast, then other states, and even other countries.
It would be fine if the rich people in Gotham don’t make a fool of themselves, but since they made such a big joke, if they don’t take any blame at this time, when will they have to wait?
So, the article originally written by a well-known reporter was soon forwarded by major newspapers in the Metropolitan area, followed by newspapers in other cities on the East Coast, followed by federal news and international news...
How to describe the popularity of this news? It can only be said that Clark is a little too late to start preparing for the Pulitzer Awards ceremony.
At the same time the news became popular, the GTO led by Gordon took action.
His arrangements are very strict and efficient, but his staff is really insufficient. The Pale Knights are probably conservative, and they are not going to catch hundreds of people. There are hundreds of culprits, and at least thousands of important accomplices.
Including ordinary accomplices, there are more people than all law enforcement officers in Gotham. How can this be caught?
No one has ever thought that such a big noise would be caused by one or two people. The main reason is that no one has ever imagined that someone is so bold and casually speaking, and a random compilation will create an epic international news.
The atmosphere sets off to this point, and no one will think that this bet is on a whim by someone. Most people think that this bet has existed for many years, but it has only been exposed recently.
Many people even linked the gambling case with the death or disappearance of some well-known people, thinking that they must have been forced to participate in this death bet, and then died tragically in it.
Later it became, and rich people all over the world participated. Those celebrities who committed suicide for no reason may have lost their lives.
This statement is popular and spreads very widely because people love to watch it.
Gordon's raiding operation could be declared completely failed one hour after the start.
The biggest problem is that there is insufficient manpower, but secondly, the enemy is very cunning. In addition to the secret rooms and tunnels that have been built in the villa, they have helicopters, sports cars, scapegoats, and even professional makeup artists and escape masters, with a series of professionals.
consultant.
The arrest that night allowed Gordon to truly see how firmly the rich man was in order to spend money to have a life and how perfectly prepared he made.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
The real culprits were not caught, and even the lackeys they valued were all run away. The core team basically only injured a little bit of fur.
As soon as the sky was dawn, Gordon's legs were weak as he looked at the report results sent by his subordinates.
He never felt this way when he fought against the most cruel and cunning criminal.
Gordon asked himself, he had been tired and painful, but he had never been afraid. But looking at the hazy light on the Gotham horizon, he found himself trembling.
As a policeman who has been fighting on the front line, he understands more than anyone else what terrible consequences will be brought about by the failure of the operation tonight.
The same goes for the same sentence, political game either overwhelms the east wind or overwhelms the west wind. When a war begins, it will not be stopped easily without destroying one side.
To put it simply, in the process of a fight, once one party takes out the knife, it must be able to make the other party lose its ability to resist as quickly as possible, otherwise it will be yourself who dies.
This is because if everyone uses fists, they know that they will not die, and it will be almost the same for them to exert their anger.
But once you see the blood, you know that the other party is trying to kill him. Then if you don’t take any action, wouldn’t you just give your life to the other party?
Once the critical moment of life and death is at a critical moment, the power that humans can burst out is extremely terrible. So either don’t move the knife, or if you move the knife, you have to fight quickly and eliminate the roots.
But Gordon did not do either of the above two words. Not only did he fail to defeat the enemy in one move, he also failed almost completely.
Then, what he and the ordinary people in Gotham will face is the other party's revenge like a storm. Live to the death and never stop.
Gordon had no time to think about why Batman was as quiet as he was dead during the whole process. Just calming down the fear in his heart, he used all his strength.
He was not afraid of his death, nor even the police. But he knew that the cruelest means of revenge would not be used on him. What the upper class wanted was that no one would dare to act like this again.
What they want is the hope of extermination of ordinary people.
Gordon's hands trembled as he picked up the phone, but he didn't even know who to call. After hesitating for a while, he dialed an unexpected number.
"Hey? Dean Rodriguez?"
"It's me." Schiller's tone was as calm as usual. For some reason, Gordon's violent heartbeat seemed to calm down.
"Something happened in our city. Those who invested in crime may have some actions next." Gordon tried hard to hide his uneasy mood and said calmly, "I hope you can stick to your post
, do your job well.”
"I don't understand what you mean, Director. Is it because I'm not doing well?"
"No, no. It's just your previous one... Tok gave some people an illusion that they could free criminals at will and use them to provoke riots. I don't think you will continue this illusion
,Is it right?"
"Of course not, Mr. Director." Schiller's tone was filled with a smile. Gordon's heart suddenly became thrust again.
After hanging up the phone, Schiller added in his mind: "Yes, of course not. Super criminals can't do the effect I want."
Then he walked to the front of the panel with the emergency restrictions buttons—and pressed each button on it.
