Chapter 3326 Bloody New City (Forty-Nine)
Chapter 3300 Bloodshed in New City (Forty-nine)
In Batman's eyes, everything seemed to have suddenly been accelerated.
No one waited for him to investigate carefully, prepare countless backup plans, and then implement them together to keep things firmly under his control.
Clark wrote the article very quickly, and it was basically formed in just one night. But he did not publish the article through the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet because he did not want to implicate ordinary people.
The report some time ago made him famous, so he also had his own personal homepage. Although he did not have many fans, his fans were all news spreaders who were active on various public opinion platforms all year round. Even smaller newspapers could not match their influence.
As soon as the article came out, the world was in an uproar.
Some people may think that everyone already knows that Gotham is bad, so why are they still holding unrealistic expectations for it? Why are they surprised by such a bad thing?
In fact, it is not ordinary people who are truly shocked by such things, but the upper class of the world.
Ordinary people are just enjoying it, just like watching fun. But it's over after talking and having fun. They come for blood and violence, and leave after satisfying their curiosity.
But the upper class is really shocked.
This involves a question, that is: since the upper class dares to do anything bad, why would they be afraid of being exposed?
In other words, since they are already so powerful, why should they bow to social moral standards?
Can't they admit: I am evil, I am cruel, I just don't do human things?
Throughout history, there is also a very interesting phenomenon. No matter which country or region the tyrant is, he will try to avoid being called a tyrant, and even kill more people for it.
So why can't he admit that he is a tyrant?
Theoretically, he has already stood at the top of the human pyramid. Even if he admits it, what can he do?
Not only do they deny it, they even talk about morality. Whether it is killing innocent people or taking human lives lightly, they have to have a reason. If they can't find an excuse, they have to make up a nonsense.
Why is this?
In fact, it's not that they are stupid and doing useless work, but it's 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 of their rule collapse is not far away.
The upper class does not believe in the theory of heaven's choice. They understand better than anyone how powerful those ordinary people who seem to be trampled under their feet are.
In addition to the laws they make, social morality also restricts ordinary people. The law maintains the upper limit, and morality maintains the lower limit.
The destructive power of a tyrant who disregards morality may be 100, and the destructive power of an ordinary person who disregards morality may be 1. It seems that there is a big gap, but the bigger gap is the number.
A tyrant does one bad thing every day, causing 100 damage. But among 10,000 ordinary people, even if only one tenth of them do evil, the damage caused is 100 times his.
Although various means can be used to guide most of the damage to ordinary people, under the huge number of basic people, even if one thousandth of the damage falls on the rulers, it will be a disaster.
Therefore, the rulers must maintain social morality. Even if anything they do does not meet moral standards, they have to find ways to cover it up and try their best to find excuses for themselves. If they can't find any, they have to show their attitude.
Otherwise, once people have the idea of "I can do it if the emperor does it", your death will definitely be beyond your imagination.
Clark's article will shock the upper class because they think that the upper class in Gotham must be crazy. How can they do evil so directly and obviously? Isn't this courting death?
Even if you want to open a gambling game, can't you just play it in your own circle? Even if you want to gamble the lives of ordinary people, why do you tell ordinary people? Even if it's not intentional, it's too imprudent.
Moreover, it's okay if the news leaks out, but you also print those evil and perverted ideas into a book, as if you are afraid that others don't know how cruel you are. Isn't this a brain failure?
There are only a few people in the upper class, how many people are there in the whole Gotham City? If those ordinary people know, you want to use these cruel traps on them, they will let you know what real cruelty is.
The upper class also has an unwritten rule, that is, don't play with stupid people.
You can be bad, but you can't be stupid. If you are stupid, then you'd better hide it. Once exposed, no one will be kind enough to remind or help you. They just want to wait for you to die and come to share a bite of meat.
This is true at the individual level, and it is also true at the city and regional level.
There are only so many resources. If people in one place take them, people in another place will have nothing. And if people in a certain place take less, other places will naturally take more.
Gotham is the richest city on the East Coast. If something happens to the Gotham group, the first to benefit is Metropolis, then other cities on the East Coast, then other states, and possibly 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? All I can say is that Clark is a little late to start preparing for the Pritz Awards ceremony.
At the same time the news became popular, the GTO led by Gordon took action.
His arrangements are very tight 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. If ordinary accomplices are included, the number of people is more than all law enforcement officers in Gotham. How could this be caught?
No one has ever thought that such a big disturbance would be caused by one or two people. The main reason is that no one has ever imagined that someone is so bold, and just talks and compiles it casually, and creates an epic international news.
The atmosphere sets off to this point, and no one will think that this bet is on a whim. Most people think that this bet has existed for many years, but it has only been recently exposed.
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 the 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 the lack of manpower, but secondly, the enemy is very cunning. In addition to the secret rooms and tunnels that have been built in the villa, they include helicopters, sports cars, scapegoats, and even professional makeup artists and escape masters, as well as a series of professional consultants.
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 hurt 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 the west wind overwhelms the east wind or the east wind 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 is 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 and know that the other party is trying to kill him, then if you don’t kill him, 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 terrifying. So either don’t move the knife. Once 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. You live to the death, never stop until you die.
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 that he would die, nor even the police would die. But he knew that the cruelest means of revenge would not be used on him. What the upper class wants is that no one will dare to think 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 sucked again.
After hanging up the phone, Schiller added in his mind: "Yes, of course not. Super criminals can't do what I want."
Then he walked to the panel with the emergency restriction buttons - and pressed every button on it.
