"I didn't expect you to take him back here. I guess his attending doctor didn't agree." Schiller stood at the door of the bedroom at Wayne Manor and said, "If you plan to disobey me like this, then
I can also use the high medical fee to say some beautiful words to fool you."
"Wayne Hospital is not safe enough." Batman seemed to be explaining, saying, "Someone is staring there, I can't let them spot Jason."
"Okay, whatever you want. I hope the familiar environment doesn't stimulate him. Otherwise you have to add money."
Schiller pushed the door open a small crack and saw a figure sitting by the bed, which looked calm at the moment. So he said, "You can't be present when I treat him. And I will let you arrange it."
The camera is completely invalid. If you can't accept it, then forget it."
Batman frowned, as if he was still thinking, but Schiller had already pushed the door in and locked Batman outside the door with a slam.
After entering the room, a wisp of gray mist filled the room and patrolled around it. Soon, a faint mist was attached to all the walls.
The young man sitting by the bed finally raised his head.
His eyes became sharp in an instant, with an indescribable ferocity. Just looking at such eyes makes people feel cold on their backs.
Schiller didn't react to his attitude, just sat in a chair next to the bed and looked at him and said, "I'm sure the conversation between us will not be known by Batman. I think you can talk about the past
It's all."
Jason seemed to have returned to his dullness. But after sitting in place for a while, he reached for the water cup at the head of the bed.
Schiller handed him the cup of water. He drank a whole large glass of water, coughed twice, coughed out some bloody phlegm, and then breathed out.
"The night I was taken away by the clown, Batman could have saved me." Jason's voice was hoarse and sounded like a vegetative man who had been paralyzed in bed for many years and had no consciousness suddenly opened his mouth to speak. His vocal cords seemed to be unbearable at all.
He controlled, useless sounds interspersed in every syllable.
"Are you resenting him?"
"I'm not talking about this," Jason continued, "the key is the reason why he didn't come to save me."
“What is it?”
"He went to stop a crime."
"So you still resent him for not choosing you."
"I said the key point is not this! Ahem!" Jason put the cup hard on the table, and the water inside splashed out.
He coughed for a while before continuing: "It was a manipulated case, the purpose of which was to let Batman destroy a metal smelter while fighting Bain to cover up the fact that a batch of raw materials did not exist.
.”
Jason didn't seem to expect Schiller to understand, he just said to himself: "Before the clown took action, I followed the clues of this case and found someone. Then I suddenly realized all this.
The truth – Batman has been exploited by them.”
Schiller raised his eyebrows. He calculated according to time that Jason should have been very young at that time, and his eldest was not over 12 years old. Did he discover the truth so early?
"And you were caught by the clown?"
"Yes." Jason took a deep breath and said, "He tortured me and forced me to ask me about Batman's true identity."
"He didn't know at that time?"
"He didn't know. But I told him."
Schiller frowned. He was recalling the original plot, but in the original "Pale Knight", Jason didn't have many scenes, only a few scenes of him being tortured by a clown.
However, in the original plot, he did tell the identity of Batman, and even said that becoming Batman's assistant was the last thing he regretted.
But now it seems that this sentence has a different interpretation. If Jason knew so early that Batman was actually an accomplice of the upper class, would he regret that he had helped the evildoer?
Jason took a deep breath and said, "I always thought that just helping Batman can save Gotham. But after knowing the truth, I realized that I was too naive. Batman's existence itself was wrong."
"As long as he still exists, the group of people can use him to constantly cover up their mistakes." Jason said coldly, "Even the clown is more innocent than him. At least the clown's crazy brain won't let him be beaten by anything
People use and buy.”
Schiller could understand Jason's mood at that time. Because Jason once lived at the bottom of Gotham and had a heart that refused to accept his fate. Like Willy, he wanted to find a way out for the city.
At that time, he wishfully thought that as long as he tried his best to help Batman, he would definitely make the city better. He put in a lot of effort on this and really felt that he had done it.
Until one day, he suddenly realized that his helping Batman was not saving the city at all, but was helping those elites who had been constantly oppressing and persecuting him, and persecuting more poor people like him.
It was like a big hero who saved the world overnight to an executioner full of blood. His faith completely collapsed.
"So you exposed Batman's identity to the Joker."
"Yes. I hope the Joker can kill him." Jason looked up at Schiller and said, "at least he killed Batman and told him not to do such stupid things anymore."
"But failed."
Jason shook his head and said, "Because the Joker is not fighting Batman alone, but fighting the entire upper class. As long as the elites still want to use Batman for profit, they will help Batman deal with the Joker."
"Do you know who saved you?"
Jason paused for a rare moment and said, "I can't be sure. But maybe it's a clown girl."
"What's the meaning?"
"When the clown tortured me, she secretly helped me. Otherwise, I would have been crazy. But in the end I was in a coma and I only felt like I was being thrown somewhere. Later I was unconscious.
When I woke up, I found myself in a mental hospital in Brudehaven.”
Schiller tapped the handrail with his finger and said, "I hope you can tell me honestly. Because there are not many people who can help you now. But I can understand your concealment. After all, we are not very familiar with you."
"You want to ask why I'm pretending to be crazy, right?"
Schiller looked at him and said nothing.
Jason pursed his lips and said, "Someone is staring at me. I suspect it's that group of people, but I can't be sure. They may be trying to use me as a last resort to threaten Batman."
Before Schiller could speak, Jason said to himself: "I realized that the truth and being caught by the clown happened at the same time. At that time, my spirit and physical pain were both painful, and I didn't have time to remain quiet.
Come down and think about it.”
"But then when I was in the mental hospital, I thought about everything Batman did, and then I realized he was stupider than I thought. He really felt like he was doing good things."
"But if that's the case, it proves that he is at least a stupid good man. If he can realize and admit this, he will definitely not be obedient again."
"But that group of people will not give up a money-making machine that has been cultivated for so long. They need to have the means to control Batman, and they can only start with people close to Batman."
Hearing this, Schiller paused with the hand that was knocking on the armrest. He looked at Jason and said, "Do you know Alfred is dead?"
Jason felt like he was hit hard.
He stood up from the bed, but it seemed that he had been sitting for too long and his legs were not circulating smoothly. After he stood up suddenly, he let out a cry of pain and fell directly to the ground.
His movements were too sudden, and Schiller didn't react. He quickly helped Jason up.
But Jason seemed to have not seen him, and he said, "Yes, it must be like this. They took action. They wanted Batman to become their puppet completely."
As Schiller was about to say something, he felt his wrist being caught. Jason used a lot of power, and Schiller pulled it for a while but didn't pull it out.
"Calm down," Schiller said, "otherwise don't blame me for being polite."
Jason did not react at all. Schiller felt that he was not completely crazy, and he was not in a normal state anyway.
"After Alfred's death, was Batman getting more and more irritable? He began to treat criminals with more violent means, beat them, and even hurt them. Is that true?!"
Schiller narrowed his eyes and said, "How do you know?"
Jason suddenly let go of his hand and said, "I..."
"You can tell what you know." Schiller comforted him and said, "I will verify it myself."
Jason sat back, but his limbs became stiff. He supported his hands on his knees and said, "They didn't choose Batman for no reason."
"What?"
"The Wayne family may have a genetic disease," Jason said, licking his dry lips. "They tend to be violent when their mood fluctuates greatly, and they will gradually become more serious as they age."
"How did you know?!"
"When Alfred was sorting out the relics of Wayne and his wife, I found a recorder. There was a tape that was not finished inside, and it seemed to be a diagnosis and treatment record of a psychologist."
"What is said in it?"
"I can't remember it very well, but it seems to be saying that Thomas Wayne's condition worsened. He did something." Jason's fist on his knee gradually tightened, and he said, "That voice is a little familiar,
It seems to be the voice of Doctor Tompkins, Batman’s personal doctor.”
Schiller felt the clues in his mind gradually connected. He looked at Jason and said, "Have you never told Batman this?"
"At that time, I just thought it was irrelevant. But then when I was thinking about everything carefully in the mental hospital, I felt something was wrong."
Jason swallowed and said, "Gotham's upper class was not established after Bruce Wayne was born, at least it existed when his father was a child. They invested in crimes for a day or two, but very
It may have started decades ago.”
"You suspect that Batman's father was also chosen by them? But his father did not become a superhero and was unfortunately assassinated."
"Is it possible that his father was assassinated because he didn't want to be Batman?" Jason quickly spoke and looked at Schiller and said, "Thomas went to see a psychologist, which means he realized something was wrong. He may
They wanted to correct this mistake, but were discovered by the group of people. In order to complete their evil plan, they simply killed the Wayne and his wife and instead raised their son."
"Good story. But you have no evidence," Schiller said. "The only possibility of learning the whole picture is Alfred is dead."
"But Dr. Tompkins is still alive," Jason said. "Although she came later than Alfred, if Thomas was looking for her for psychotherapy, it proved that she could be trusted."
Schiller sighed and said, "I will investigate. You can do something for me before this."
"What's up?"
"How much of your skills are left?"
Jason looked up at him: "What do you want me to do?"
"Of course it's revenge." Schiller also looked at him, "find the Pale Knight and shoot him."
