On the edge of the battlefield, on the roof of another tall building, a black cat and a white cat stood side by side. The black cat said: "Let me just say, when I stay with Bat Cat, I always smell...
There was a strange smell, but I had never raised a bird, so I didn’t know it was bird poop.”
He turned to look at the white cat and said, "Gordon Cat, you never told me that they were also pretending to be Bat Cat."
The white cat also showed a shocked look, and said: "No, Bat Cat shouldn't be... Oh my God! They even replaced him! The situation is worse than I thought."
Yes, this white cat is actually Gordon Cat, the chief of the Gotham Police Department in the cat city, and Schiller and Gordon Cat met earlier than everyone imagined.
In fact, it is easy to think that when Schiller's thinking tower lands in the middle of Gotham City, the first ones to arrive must be the detectives from the police department, and Gordon Cat is the most trusted cat by Batcat, so of course he will
Take full responsibility for investigating this strange building.
Schiller, who was thrown out by his superego, immediately found a hiding place, and then observed the situation nearby. When he determined that this cat should represent Gordon, he knew that this cat should be
Can be trusted.
In most DC universes, Gordon is one of the few representatives of light and hope in Gotham City. He may be frustrated, lost, encounter difficulties and obstacles, and hang on by a thread, but in the end he will definitely
He will overcome all difficulties and become Gotham's last conscience.
Another important reason that made Schiller decide to contact Gordon Cat first was that Gordon Cat's investigation actions seemed a bit perfunctory. Many times, some scent information was tracked and then stopped halfway.
The commanding and dispatching were done as he pleased. Whenever there were clues, he would direct two people there. After a while, he would transfer them away. After watching for a long time, Schiller was sure that this Gordon cat was either not good at learning or did it on purpose.
Of.
The first time Schiller saw Batcat, he also saw him talking to Gordon Cat. He found that Gordon Cat had obviously tracked down many clues, but he only told a small part, and what he said was not important.
The clues, Batcat trusted him very much, so he didn't pursue too much, so Schiller was not discovered after he was thrown out directly.
Gordon and Batman are not of the same mind. This situation is rare. Even in Gotham under Schiller's influence, Gordon and Batman will make things convenient for each other. When Batman investigates at night, if something happens,
The police always arrive as soon as possible. When the police perform dangerous tasks, Batman will also protect them from the flanks. The two of them work well together, which should be the case in most universes.
If Schiller had to choose a reliable teammate between Batman and Gordon, he would definitely choose Gordon. So, he went to Gordon and explained his purpose. As expected, Gordon Cat never trusted Bat.
The cat, he just keeps lurking under his hands, waiting for opportunities.
"When Batcat wanted to transform the city, I realized that no one could stop him. However, I found that his inexplicable paranoia was probably influenced by other things. Since it can't be stopped,
, then it is better to adopt other methods to preserve important things.”…
Gordon's cat's white fur shone in the moonlight, and his voice floated in the night sky, disappearing into the darkness. He explained to Schiller:
"When I thought this thing could not be stopped, I became his first ally. I stood up and led the Gotham Police Department to help him implement these reforms. At that time, there were still many voices of resistance. My and I
My subordinates helped him solve a lot of troubles, so he trusted me very much."
"However, I did this just to find out what was affecting him, and to preserve important evidence that might reveal the truth, so that I could stop him when he went completely crazy."
"To prove my sincerity, I handed over the Gotham Police Station to him for renovation. He did completely renovate it, but then, I secretly opened the basement that he had not had time to renovate and put the saved documents in
Go in."
"At that time, the whole city was in great chaos. He was busy maintaining public order and attacking the cats that resisted him. He was so busy that I took advantage of the chaos to do this."
"But later, when he reacted, he felt that the insurance measures he had taken before were not enough, so he changed the original Gotham Police Department into a bank, and sent a confidant to guard it, that is, President Cat
.”
"When we first met, you asked me to kill the President Cat. Was it because you discovered some clues?" Schiller looked at Gordon Cat and asked.
"Yes, when he settled in the original Gotham Police Department, he monitored the place very closely. I had to ensure that he would not discover those documents, so I sent a few cats inside as informants. However,
My subordinates reported to me that the behavior of this manager cat was very strange, he was very unlike a cat, and he always had a strange smell on his body."
"In order to find out what was going on, I sent subordinates to patrol that place. On the surface, it was to maintain public order in the neighborhood, but in fact, it was just to keep an eye on him. Finally, one night, while patrolling in person, I looked out the window.
When he reached his shadow, it was not a cat, but... a bird."
"Birds, a distant biological species, were once written on our diet, but now they have become extinct. There are only cats in the world now."
"After discovering the true identity of the President Cat, I began to suspect that there was something wrong with all the senior officials who came into contact with the Bat Cat. Soon, as I expected, there were also birds lurking among the mayor's staff. The bank president
, financial tycoons, cargo ship owners, gang bosses, all have this group of birds."
"I think they may have mastered some kind of technology. They brainwashed Batcat and controlled him. I asked you to kill President Cat. The most important reason is that because I watched him too closely, he
He has already begun to doubt me. Once he complains to Batcat or uses any other means to brainwash Batcat, I will be dead."
"But I didn't expect..." Gordon stared at the battlefield not far away and said: "It's not that they controlled the Batcat. The Batcat is not a cat at all, but..."
"...It's an owl." Schiller looked at the bird held under the paws of the black cat and said, "It's not a cat, it's an owl."...
Gordon Cat sighed and said: "Actually, I should have discovered it earlier. I clearly knew that he imprisoned his butler Alfred. If he was really the Bat Cat, there was no way he would be accompanying him anyway.
The grown-up old housekeeper tortured him like this, it seems that Bat Cat has been brutally murdered."
"No..." Schiller suddenly retorted, saying: "Since they didn't kill Alfred, then maybe the real Batcat is still alive."
Gordon's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "Really? But...but where is he? Is he also locked up by them?"
Schiller looked up at the moon and said, "Lock up? No... they can't lock up the bat."
Under the bright moonlight, Lehua fell down like a curtain. The bat cat who was pressed to the ground looked at the feathers on his body in shock. At this time, he had lost his cat appearance and turned into a real owl.
But he seemed completely unaware and shouted in shock:
"How is it possible! What did you do to me? How could I be... I should be the Bat Cat! The cat that rules the city! The richest cat! How could I be a bird?!
!This is impossible!!!"
"Nothing is impossible." Another voice sounded, and the green clown cat came over. The crazy smile on his face gradually disappeared. They narrowed their eyes, stared at the owl that collapsed on the ground, and said:
"Of course you will be a bird. Otherwise, how could those owls hiding in the dark dare to let their natural enemies, cats, rule this city?"
Batman turned to look at his old enemy, the Clown Cat, and then he recalled that in the past, when he met the Clown and heard that crazy laughter, he felt a dark emotion spreading in his heart.
That would make him want the other person to stop laughing, and even produce a violent impulse to kill him.
However, after arriving in Cat City, he heard the clown cat's laughter more than once, but he did not feel this way.
He recalled what Schiller said to him when he first met Clown Jack. When that kind of laughter did not ring out in his heart, it meant that the person opposite was not his destined opponent.
In other words, the cat opposite is not a clown.
The information Batman found in the Gotham Police Station just confirmed this. The text on the documents there did not record much important information, but one of the documents recorded a terrifying nursery rhyme. Yes,
It's that owl nursery rhyme - the Court of Owls, always monitoring your travels...
Batman is very familiar with the Court of Owls. He still remembers the Joker's performance of executing the owl.
Batman recalled the crazy things he said when he first met Clown Cat. When they first met, Clown Cat reminded Batman that he had smelled something on Batcat's body.
The smell of bird droppings, combined with the familiar nursery rhyme, led Batman to think that Batcat might not be a cat, but an owl.
In fact, the evidence is not sufficient, but even if Batcat is not an owl, Gotham will be in the situation it is now. There must be an owl standing behind to guide him. On the way to trace the clues, Batman thought a lot. If there is no one to guide,
Would he really make Gotham like this?
The result of his thinking was that he would not do this because his reason told him that this would not work.
No standard can perfectly identify human nature. People who do not meet this standard are good people, and those who do not meet this standard are bad people. Race, skin color, gender, and personality cannot be used as criteria for identification.
People's mentality and emotions are constantly changing and moving. Use static standards to measure and distinguish, and then use coercive means to isolate people. A failed art student once tried to do this, and his end was not the same.
Too much to say.
As Batman expected, his first attack was successful. The one facing him was indeed not a cat, but an owl. In this case, there was only one question left. Batman looked at the owl and spoke.
asked:
"Where did you get the real Batcat?"
The owl was still screaming crazily, shouting "Impossible!" and "I am a cat! I am not an owl!".
But at this moment, a slightly older figure slowly walked over. The moment Batman saw him, he was sure that it was Alfred.
Then, he saw the old Alfred cat walking up to the clown cat and rubbing its chin.
