Chapter 66 Essence
Chen Tao sat in the co-pilot seat on the invisible bat plane.
"Batcomputer, help me connect to Robin."
No response.
"Hey Batcomputer. Help me connect to Robin."
"Connected... Batman calling Robin."
The plane remained hovering, and the butler Alfred sat in the driver's seat with a candle head mask next to him.
Soon, Tim Drake's face appeared on the screen in front of him.
He put his legs on the table, then picked up a drink, drank it angrily, made a snorting sound, and then turned his head and took a bite of Alfred's secret sandwich.
"Tim, there is nothing unusual in the water reservoir, assembly square, night market and other places where people gather, right? Has the firewall of Gotham TV's communication network been established? Has it not been attacked by hackers? There is nothing unusual in the TV station's interview car surveillance? Remember to immediately cut off their connection with--"
"No, old man." Tim drank the drink in his hand unhappily, and threw the empty plastic cup behind him:
"Damn it, Batman, none of the situations you expected happened. I think you just want to find some excuses to throw me in the Bat Cave and don't want to take me to participate in the operation!"
Chen Tao felt a little guilty.
It is undeniable that he did have such an idea, but in fact it was more out of vigilance against the scarecrow.
At any time, we should be wary of the old three things of Gotham people: poisoning the Gotham reservoir, giving terrorist speeches to Gotham citizens from the TV station, and releasing fear gas in the square where people gather...
Gotham people are very good at doing this kind of thing. Although it is old-fashioned, it is extremely destructive.
Chen Tao knew that the Joker was a complete lunatic, but that didn't mean that the other criminals in Arkham were normal.
For lunatics, there was no such thing as "this one is a little bit crazier, that one is not so crazy".
A lunatic is a lunatic. Chen Tao has read "The War of Jokes and Riddles". The more he knows about comics, the clearer it is that he should not take any lunatic lightly.
So he said:
"I'm sorry to leave you in the Batcave, Tim, I apologize to you."
"I admit that I did it on purpose."
Batman's sudden straight ball made Robin a little embarrassed. He immediately put his feet off the table and stuttered when he spoke.
"Ah, no, no, it's okay, Batman, I don't blame you!"
Chen Tao smiled. He knew too well what the rebellious young righteous kid was thinking. Maybe Batman didn't understand children very well, but Chen Tao still understood them quite well.
"But this is just out of concern for you, and it is indeed necessary to guard against the possible actions of Scarecrow." Chen Tao deliberately emphasized: "Your work is not meaningless, but an extremely important backup countermeasure plan." "You know." Chen Tao said: "Generally speaking, what Scarecrow does is to manipulate fear, so whether it is poisoning the sewers or gathering many Arkham criminals, these are not the essence of his behavior." "I never underestimate my enemies. Scarecrow is a madman like the Joker. He does not have a clear purpose like a traditional criminal." Chen Tao added: "For example, Bane, if Bane wants to poison the city or do something, then he will There must be a purpose, such as controlling the city, or killing someone, or exhausting me, just like his previous Arkham Asylum riot plan. "
"But Scarecrow is different. Scarecrow just enjoys the act of inflicting fear on others."
"Therefore, the result of the matter is not Scarecrow's purpose. Intimidating others is Scarecrow's purpose. Everything he does is to better intimidate others. He is not a real criminal and cannot be deduced with conventional thinking."
"Therefore, based on my understanding of Klein, once his plan goes wrong, Scarecrow can do anything, including but not limited to cooperating with others, or even being inferior to others."
Chen Tao's eyes were dim.
Yes, this is the biggest difference between Scarecrow and Joker. Although Joker will also form an alliance with others, the end of this alliance is generally "How can a real man be depressed and live under others for a long time", and then the internal explosion, a mess, Luther must have a lot to say about this.
Chen Tao continued to say to Robin:
"But Scarecrow is different. Whether it is ruling the city or gaining money and power, it is meaningless to him. He just wants to scare others."
"It's good to scare ordinary people; it's better to scare the whole city through Gotham Radio; scare others with bombs; scare others with words; scare in the dark; scare in the daytime, as long as he scares others, he will climax."
"He just wants that shiver, as for what will happen after the shiver, he doesn't care."
"So this is why I insist on dealing with Scarecrow first."
Chen Tao concluded:
"Scarecrow is a villain with a tendency to slide on his knees. He is also suspected of stealing nuclear bombs. If he really stole it, maybe he doesn't mind cooperating with others or even surrendering in exchange for better protection of the nuclear bomb, and let him scare others happily every day-"
"After all, he just wants to scare people. If the nuclear bomb explodes, he won't be scared. But if Batman knocks on the door and takes the nuclear bomb away, he will be even less scared."
"Then, finding allies to guard the nuclear bomb together is what he is most likely to do."
Chen Tao has many enemies, including Bane and the Court of Owls behind Lincoln March, so...
"So, the best option is to defeat the Scarecrow before he gets involved with them..."
Chen Tao wanted to continue, but Alfred spoke up:
"I'm sorry to interrupt, sir, but I'm afraid Professor Klein has already done so."
Alfred transferred the image seen by the Penguin's glasses on the screen. It was a remote camera disguised as a monocle, a black technology created by Lucius.
"Not only that, I'm afraid what Klein did was beyond our imagination."
Alfred said slowly: "Creative ideas, we often forget that the Scarecrow is not only a master of manipulating fear, but also a genius in pharmacy. If Klein's self-claim is true, and these things in front of him are indeed his creations, then he may have cooperated with others a long time ago."
Chen Tao also saw what happened on the screen, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
Sure enough, we shouldn't underestimate any Gotham villain.
On the screen, two claws walked out from Lincoln March's side. They pulled out the knives behind them. Then, in Lincoln March's stunned eyes, the swollen muscles burst through the uniforms of the two claws. They tightened the masks on their faces and roared to the sky!
"Master, have you made a plan for this situation?"
"Yes."
"What is it, master?"
"Me."
