Chapter 524: Utopia

Arthur finally won the game against the Joker with his strong willpower and his calm and rational mind. He watched the Laughing Bat turn into ashes and dissipate in the air with the wind, and he felt that a heavy burden was immediately unloaded and he felt relaxed.

He finally got rid of the Joker as he wished. At this moment, his mind was clearer than ever before. He sorted out all the details of the game in a short time. Although he won, it was also very thrilling. In fact, when the Laughing Bat told the truth, Arthur was only a little bit away from a sanity collapse.

And once his sanity collapsed, he would be completely finished. His soul and self-consciousness would be devoured by the Laughing Bat, turned into nutrients, and become a part of the other party. At that time, it would not be him, Arthur, or the Joker who walked out of this weird world, but the more terrifying Laughing Bat!

Thinking of this, Arthur found that he had also completed a feat of saving the world invisibly. If the Laughing Bat was released, the outside world would probably suffer. Through the strange hub link, Arthur vaguely sensed the terrifying and powerful nature of the Laughing Bat, and there seemed to be a more powerful and unpredictable evil behind it.

"Batman... Bruce Wayne and I are on the same path, and the darkness hidden deep in his heart also leads to the abyss of hell!"

After such a journey, Arthur can be said to be one of the people who know Batman best. After all, he has played Batman for so long, and his sense of substitution is much stronger than when he watched the quiz game before.

After solving the problem of the Joker, Arthur was not in a hurry to leave this weird world. This world was created by the Dream Star based on his consciousness and memory, just like Schrödinger's cat, which is both illusory and non-existent, and true and accurate.

Here, Arthur can choose another life trajectory and use this world as a test field to try various ways to transform Gotham. After leaving this world, he will also gain these rich experiences and various abilities he has mastered!

Arthur has now completed one of his two obsessions. What remains is how to save and change the city of sin - Gotham. Batman's Dark Knight's path seems to be unworkable, and the Joker's evil path of chaos is fairness is also unworkable.

Arthur tried to change Gotham from top to bottom, actively participated in politics, and finally relied on the money of the Wayne Group and his eloquence to be elected mayor of Gotham.

At the beginning of his term, he planned to vigorously rectify Gotham's security environment with a severe hand, reformed Gotham's police system, and ensured logistics and funding, so that Gotham police were very motivated to fight criminals.

At the beginning, Gotham's security environment did improve, but Arthur soon encountered difficulties. On the one hand, his drastic reforms encountered great resistance. From civil groups to corresponding interest groups, they all had great opinions on him, and even his Wayne Group had some discordant voices within it.

The reason is very simple. Mayor Arthur is noble, fair and just, but we all need to eat. You have overturned the cake. What can we eat?

Gotham's tyranny is from top to bottom, from inside to outside. Arthur's reforms have offended all these large and small interest groups in many ways. Even the civilians who benefited from the reforms are dissatisfied with the turbulent environment.

Arthur found that even if he was in a high position in the political situation, he would be surrounded by people wherever he went, but at the critical moment, there was no reliable man around him. No matter how good his plans and measures were, they had to be implemented by his subordinates. It was fine if they did not cooperate or pretended to obey but did not, but what was more hateful were those bastards who took advantage of the situation and deliberately escalated the situation.

It was like Arthur proposed a proposal in the parliament, suggesting that residents should stay at home after 8 o'clock in the evening and not go out, which was safer. As a result, it was spread and implemented as a strict curfew at the bottom, causing residents to complain.

Arthur didn't know about this until a week later. He asked the person in charge to accuse him, but the person looked innocent and claimed that he had resolutely implemented the mayor's decree. There were other powerful people who were trying to make trouble and mess up Arthur's relevant decrees.

A few years later, Gotham City did improve greatly in terms of public security compared with the past, but it was still the city with the highest crime rate in the country, and it was not much better than when the bat lights were on over the city.

People also missed the Batman who was flying around the city.

In the new mayoral election, Arthur lost. He found that this road was not feasible. He could choose to go along with those politicians and financial groups. He should have been in the same group with those powerful people, but what Arthur did was to betray his class, and naturally lost the support of those powerful people.

'Perhaps the world needs a bottom-up, thorough reform, just like Paris and Moscow did? '

Arthur began to learn some advanced theoretical knowledge that stood on the side of the masses, especially the workers, and analyzed the difficulties encountered by Gotham from the perspective of social class, economic development laws, productivity and production methods, and changes in wealth distribution rights.

In the end, it was discovered that Gotham was not an isolated case, and the whole world actually had problems!

If the world had cancer, Gotham was just the most obvious and protruding tumor. Under the skin and flesh, a large number of cancer cells had already spread throughout the human body.

'But is this path feasible? '

Arthur thought of the red giant that collapsed overnight. After experiencing all this, he knew that there has never been a magic medicine in the world that can cure diseases, let alone perfect plans and policies.

Because no matter how perfect the plan and policy are, they must be implemented by people. Even if he can ensure that he is a firm idealist, he cannot ask the thousands of people working under him to remain true to their original intentions.

Unless...

Arthur found a way, or the Dream Star provided him with a plug-in. In the world created by the Dream Star, Arthur's will is above everything. Although he cannot speak the law of heaven and call the wind and rain like the Creator, he can make his willpower exert extraordinary power.

He can infect the people around him and make them clear about their thoughts, pursuits and ambitions. Just as the clown virus will spread, Arthur regards himself as a large signal tower. As long as he is firm in his ideals, he can influence the people around him all the time.

"I have found the right way-to create my ideal country!"

"A truly fair and just ideal country without oppression and exploitation, where everyone is positive and progressive!"
