The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 90 The Soil of Crime

Your thinking is dangerous...

He Nan complained in his heart.

...But in fact, it can't be said that I really thought wrong.

A lot of people think so, or at least think so.

DC's classic villain organization, the League of Assassins-the League of Shadow Dancers, has planned to destroy Gotham in many universes.

They think this is the devil's lair of the most evil human nature, a place of hopeless rot.They had to purify Gotham—and destroying it completely was the only way.

Just now, in the bone spur sentence, there is actually a word that is easy to be criticized if it is said now.

That is "N world merged".

People who say this are usually from the V world, that is, residents of the Marvel world.

From their point of view, of course they were living well, but suddenly the N world merged.

On the contrary, the DC residents of the N world think so too.

They lived normally, and somehow, the V world melted into them.

Both parties felt that the other party broke into their own world and forced themselves to accept this change.

But in fact, there is really no such thing as who merges with whom, and the two sides are merged with each other.

So the correct statement should not be "merging with the N world", but "merging with the N world".

...He Nan can understand those who feel that the former statement is discriminatory against another world, because if there is a situation where a certain world is merged by a certain world, then the world that is passively merged will often be placed as a "victim" status.They could be said to be aboriginals, and they were invaded unwillingly—even if the people in the merged world didn't want this to happen at all, the facts would put them at a disadvantage in public opinion.

Imagine if there were Martians and Earth was fused with Mars.

Then, as a person on Earth, do you feel disgusted and feared by the sudden addition of Martian cities and Martians?Especially after the hometown you live in suddenly looks far from what it used to be?
...I'm afraid more or less will, at least I will feel "they took my place."

Therefore, based on the facts, it is naturally more appropriate to quote "integration with the N/V world" without controversy and hidden discrimination.Both parties feel that the other has invaded their homes, but in fact neither has invaded the other, but merged the two homes.

However, He Nan felt that there was no need to force words all the time.

Occasionally, I didn’t pay attention when I said it, so everyone should be considerate.It's only been a year since the world merged, and many people haven't adapted yet.

Just like the New Yorkers in the original DC world, after the fusion, they couldn't adapt to the normal city suddenly becoming so crazy.

... New York in DC, although it is an unimportant small city (even the Statue of Liberty is on the side of the metropolis), has no sense of existence, but it is quite peaceful.But what about Marvel?There are troubles every day.

As a New Yorker in the DC world, the probability of encountering a bank robber has jumped from maybe not once in a lifetime to once or twice a year, and you are ashamed to say that you are a New Yorker.

"Bone spur, have you achieved anything?" He Nan became interested because he mentioned Gotham: "In your opinion, how did New York degenerate like this? What about Gotham?"

"I dare not say that I have achieved the results of my research. The vision of a small person like me cannot be so broad. I may not be aware of many problems that people in the upper class see." Bone spur snorted: "...Of course, the above These are just modesty. I think the reasons for all these problems are very complicated, but the most important thing is the desire of the dark side of the human heart, technology, money and privileges"

"That's four o'clock—but it's not important." He Nan continued to ask with interest: "How do you say it?"

"It means that cities like New York and Gotham can provide the ultimate entertainment that ordinary cities can't provide." Bone Spur stopped at the stair step and said in a low voice: "And the economy here is too developed, as a special economic zone, it also enjoys A lot of privileges... As for technology, many scientific research experiments are very inhumane and costly. The combination of the four naturally breeds many shady and shady transactions... These transactions need to find government officials to corrupt and bribe all classes to impose Policy protection and turning a blind eye, these cities are naturally becoming more and more degenerate-you see, these are the essential issues I have observed and thought about as a criminal for so many years. Do not be kidnappers and only steal cars, can you have this state of mind?"

"It doesn't seem to have anything to do with being a kidnapper...but I probably understand what you mean." He Nan felt that he spoke quite well, and was impressed: "Can you talk more deeply?"

"I'll just take two things that are very popular in New York and Gotham as examples. They also have something in common—that is, illegal organ trading and human scientific research experiments." Bone Spur's eyes became serious: "The laws are strictly prohibited, right? ? But the need for these is real. There has to be a place to provide them... people will create it."

Bone Spur's tone paused, and then continued: "After New York and Gotham are controlled by criminal forces, organ trading and human experiments can be carried out under many shelters. They can all create huge value...not limited to intuitive Income, as well as the reputation and subsidiary products that can be brought by human experiments. In addition, how many seriously ill people fly from all over the world to these two cities to replace their organs? Without such a place, they would die Yes, the need exists objectively. Organs suitable for transplantation are sometimes difficult to find, but in this crime city, if you pay enough money, you can even order them... This is of course not correct, but it is also very realistic. Powerful people are those who can treat ordinary people like livestock."

"...Continue to talk." He Nan agreed with his analysis and said in silence for a moment.

"Oh, actually there is nothing to say—my thoughts are very clear, and maybe a little too simple—that is, after the economic development of these two cities, the temptations they can provide are too great, so the evil forces try to Renegotiate the rules of the game with capital bosses, government officials, and the police to make it more attractive and fill everyone's pockets." Bone Spur sneered and continued.

"This is how the soil of crime came about. After economic development, the rules of the game are no longer rigidly bound by laws, and the protection of justice on paper becomes empty talk, all types of criminals will flock here...not just super criminals. They There are all kinds of things, some are just to enjoy the chaos and destruction, some are to enjoy his inhuman scientific research, and some are forced to become criminals by this criminal city-and in my opinion, how to avoid New York Become the same as Gotham?" Bone Spur narrowed his eyes, and whispered: "Ha - if my mother knows, I won't be just a little kidnapper."
