The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1192 The Cry of the Lamb ([-])

Looking at Jonathan, who was covered in blood but calmly being carried into the ambulance, Gordon stood at the gate of the police station and shook his head. When he turned his head and looked back, he found that Batman had disappeared at some point , Gordon sighed and said to himself:
"What's the matter? What's the sudden madness?"

Gordon looked down at his hands. Just now he helped Jonathan press the wound, and his hands were covered with blood, even the cuffs and the edges of his shirt were stained with blood.

Gordon turned his head and wanted to go back to the bathroom in the police station to wash his hands, but as soon as he stepped into the door, he found that the soles of his shoes were also stained. Every time he took a step forward, a bloody footprint would be left behind.

Gordon felt that he shouldn't cause unnecessary trouble to the cleaner's wife, so he planned to rub the soles of his shoes on the carpet, but as soon as he stepped on the carpet, he found that the carpet was also full of dirt. Blood will only get dirtier as you step on it.

Gordon looked around with his hands clasped, and found that there were two extra newspapers on the shelf next to the umbrella. He leaned on the door frame with his elbow, took the newspaper with the other hand, and began to wipe his own. soles.

But as he wiped it, he seemed to remember something, took two steps back, shook off the blood-stained newspaper, stared at the densely packed text on it and said to himself: "Full-width separator..."

Gordon stared at the newspaper for a long time, but he couldn't understand the difference between full-width symbols and half-width symbols at all. From the layout point of view, there was nothing unusual about it.

Gordon understood that he was actually not good at verbal and graphical reasoning, and he had to find someone who was good at it.

In the dimly lit corridor of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, Halle was pushing the infusion stand with one hand and holding the prescription slip with the other, looking down at the prescription while walking forward. Just after turning a corner, she met Mrs. Miller.

"Harry, why are you here? Come with me, Sheriff Gordon wants to see you." Mrs. Miller waved to Harry and said.

Harley raised her eyebrows and also showed an impatient expression. She pouted, pushed the infusion stand aside like a tantrum, folded her arms and said, "Why is that Gordon so busy? He doesn't know Am I going crazy?"

Mrs. Miller hesitated for a moment, then patted Harry on the back lightly and said, "If you feel too tired, I'll push you away."

"What did he want from me?" Harry asked.

"It seems to be solving a case... or looking for clues or something. I can't understand what he is talking about, but it should be quite dangerous. If you don't want to go, I will help you refuse him." Mrs. Miller tilted her head and looked at Ha Li said.

Harry's eyes lit up, and she quickly took two steps to catch up with Mrs. Miller, and then said, "No, I'm not tired at all, let's go there quickly!"

In the office on the first floor, Gordon frowned and looked at the newspapers and magazines in front of him. Judging from his serious expression, he hadn't made any progress. After Harry came in, he immediately looked at Harry. He beckoned and said, "Come here quickly, Harry, and help me see, what's wrong with the symbols in these articles?"

Harry walked over, half-kneeling on the ground and looking at the newspapers spread out on the ground. Before she could ask, Gordon briefly told her what happened at the police station just now.

Harry's eyes widened slowly, and she raised her voice and said, "You mean, Batman updated the serial killer's club code?? That's impossible!!!"

After finishing speaking, she set her eyes on the newspaper on the ground again. Like a dragonfly spitting water, she guided her sight with her fingers and began to search between the pages and contents of the newspaper. A few minutes later, Halle stood up and shook her head. Shaking his head, he said in an unbelievable voice:
"They're really using new ciphers, full-width separators..."

"What's going on here?" Gordon asked very confused: "How does this club work? How did Batman get involved?"

Harry glanced at him, opened his mouth, but closed it again, as if he didn't want to say anything, she paused hesitantly, but still said:

"Natural killers have a characteristic that they are extra sensitive to blood and violence, which makes them hyper, although they may not show it."

"In the beginning, I noticed the anomaly in the newspaper, also because the Gotham Daily reported a news about a peddler who was unfortunately run over by a truck. The person who wrote this report directly took the picture of the crushed and bloody corpse, Put it on the front page headlines, I don’t think it’s okay to see it.”

"The moment I saw this picture, my heart began to beat violently, and there was an unspeakable excitement rising. I almost couldn't wait to open the newspaper and start reading the contents."

"This report has nothing to say. It was a complete accident. The humanistic style of writing the article is also very dry. It just briefly explained the cause and effect without any detailed description. This cannot satisfy my desire at all."

"Since then, I began to consciously or unconsciously pay attention to the bloody murder cases in various newspapers, and every time I read the process of the murderer's crime written by some beautiful writers, I felt as if I was there."

"After reading this kind of report too much, I found that some writers' writing skills are good, but for some reason, it seems that they don't pay much attention to grammar. Some sentences are not smooth at all, and the symbols are also used wrongly."

"At the time, I was in grammar class, so I was extra sensitive to it... well, well, I felt like I was a bit obsessive-compulsive, and suddenly a stain appeared on something that was supposed to be perfect, and it made me feel uncomfortable and wanted to hit the wall."

Harry pursed his lips tightly, turned the corners of his mouth down, showing a very unhappy expression, the muscles between his brows and eyes were all wrinkled, as if he had eaten a fly.

Although Gordon doesn't specialize in serial killers like Angela, he has been a policeman in Gotham for so many years, so he has more experience in this area, so he nodded and said, "Indeed, I know a lot of killers. Fanatics have cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder."

"I found out that their grammar and symbols were wrong, and I couldn't help but modify the correct grammar and symbols in my mind. Every time I did this, I developed a habit, but gradually I found that this was a bit wrong. These grammar Mistakes in and symbols are regular."

Harry frowned tightly, staring at the newspaper on the ground and said: "After I discovered this, I began to study what is the pattern of these symbols and grammatical errors, and why there is a pattern."

"Then I discovered the startling fact that there is an organization, unknown to me, that communicates by exploiting grammatical and symbolic errors in the text of various pages in newspapers and magazines."

Harry shook his head and said: "It's actually not difficult at all. The wrong way corresponds to a certain word in the wrong sentence, and the wrong words in all the sentences are extracted to form a sentence, and then the sentence Arranging these sentences by the number or position of grammatical errors can form an article, which is nothing more than a simple word puzzle."

"And when I composed the article, I discovered that there is a world that ordinary people don't understand at all, hidden under the calm appearance, and that is the crazy world of murderers."

"The murderers use this method to write their own articles, describing their thinking about committing crimes, including what theme they established for their case and why they established such a theme."

"Wait a minute!" Gordon shouted to stop, he looked at Harry very surprised, and said, "What does this mean?"

Harry sighed. She thought about how to explain it, but finally decided to use an example to explain to ordinary Gordon how this crazy club works.

"For example, if a person does a skinning case, he peels off the victim's skin and performs some kind of treatment, he will first draw up a name for himself, and then determine the subject of the case."

"For example, he may call himself a 'human skin hunter', and the theme of his crimes is 'what is under the human skin?'"

"Of course, a one-sentence description is not enough, he must fully explain why he wants to do this topic."

"Maybe it's because he was abused when he was a child, and relatives or friends who looked kind on the surface sexually abused him, or it may be because he went hunting when he was a child and saw the pain of animals that were skinned alive."

"He had to fully explain what made him interested in doing this research."

"Wait, what you call academic research is actually killing people?!" Gordon raised his voice. This kind of thing is cruel enough even in Gotham.

But Harley didn't show any guilt. She nodded with a relaxed expression, and then said: "Then, they will write about their own crime process. According to my observation, when I just found out that this club exists, A lot of homicides are writing about the pain of their victims and taking pride in the way they tortured others."

"But later, an occultist code-named Professor published an article denouncing this superficial academic research, and wrote several papers that far surpassed other articles in terms of content, wording, grammar, innovation, etc., expounding a completely Self-consistent logic, showing an unparalleled dark charm."

"These papers have caused a sensation in the academic world. His in-depth philosophical thinking, reasoned and well-founded closed-loop logic, and rigorous and beautiful diction have simply raised a chaotic third-rate circle to the height of the academic world. "

"Since then, most of the killers who have published articles have become more academic and restrained."

"They stopped chasing victims of abuse, stopped writing about the pain of others, and started to express their thoughts and opinions as rigorously as possible, showing their minds and souls to everyone, and telling their pain."

"If everyone in the world had to take a philosophy exam, it would be easy to tell who the idiot is, what a person thinks about the world, and whether he can express it clearly, says a lot. , is he a wise man."

Halle's way of speaking was not serious enough for a child of this age, and Gordon was shocked by her expressive ability.

"After the academic climate changed like this, those butchers with chaotic thinking, low taste, and very boring were rejected by everyone, and all the murderers began to follow the professor's style."

"I still don't understand, what kind of style is this professor?" Gordon asked.

Harley showed some reminiscences, with a trace of fanaticism on her face, as if she was fascinated by her own fantasy, she said in a slightly excited tone:

"Compared to paying attention to others, this professor prefers to analyze himself, which is why all serial killers are crazy about him. He shows us through his words how a sick soul is in this world. Survival, and that's exactly the stimulus we need."

"He let us discover that the pleasure we get from sadistic others comes from our incoherent soul, from the morbidity that has been suppressed by us all the year round. Everyone who understands and accepts this theory wants to know, How he co-exists with another self."

Halle sighed softly and said, "The recent serial killing spree is not an academic discussion at all, but those butchers who were expelled from the academic world thought they had won and celebrated for it."

"And those souls who are really suffering from their own sickness and talents are waiting for a new Savior."

Harry's eyes fell on the newspaper on the ground again, and then she turned her head to look into Gordon's eyes and said, "And now, they have accepted a new code, a code made by Batman, and you know what it means ?"

Gordon looked at her in silence, and Harry's eyes became a little moist, like gems soaked in rain.

"This shows that the theory that Batman expounded in his published articles has convinced most people."

"He will inherit the professor's mantle, appease these restless souls, control them, lead them, accept their sacrifices, and tell them the answer."

"And we, too, will listen to him, follow him, love him, respect him, regard him as our Savior and Father...and become his tame lamb."
