[Comprehensive] Uncle Ba's food paradise

"Not long after the escalation happened, there were several criminals pretending to be mentally ill and hoping to be imprisoned, so Arkham contacted our police last time, saying that if there are any prisoners next time, they will first undergo a psychiatric evaluation, and those who fail will be returned to the police station .To be honest, I did hear them say that, but I didn't expect them to even dare to return the prisoners sent by Batman."

"This is encouraging people to commit crimes. Why do you allow Arkham to do this?"

Batman can't believe that there is such a trick, and the government has passed it?

Gordon sighed, "That's the problem, Batman. We've always assumed that Arkham is a public facility for mentally ill criminals, and in fact, it's been used that way for decades, but it's not. I After checking the legal documents, Arkham is actually just a mental hospital. It was later upgraded to be called a "felon mental hospital", but that's just what people call it. In essence, he is a private type of mental hospital. Change it to Whether it is a prison or a nursing home is completely up to the owner. The government also pays them every year, and they have raised the treatment and have not charged government fees. The government cannot have any opinion on this matter.”

It's like a person buying a piece of land and opening a hotel.He rents a few rooms to the government for meetings, no problem.After a long time you go there for meetings, you get used to it, thinking that this place belongs to the government itself.But in fact, from a legal point of view, this place is private, and they have the right to change the decoration to provide higher quality services.

Master Wayne is considering whether to spend his own money to build a place similar to Arkham.But the main problem is that he is Batman. If he uses the identity of Master Wayne to open such an institution, on the one hand, his own identity may be exposed; Objective law enforcement.Batman throwing his enemies into a prison that Batman built himself?No, don't say it sounds wrong. Master Wayne feels that even if he is the owner, he still can't guarantee the fairness and impartiality of such a system.He said before that never test human nature, including himself.He knows that he can enforce the law impartially now, but what about the future?Or after he dies, what about the next Batman or Wayne?Do not give too much authority to a single person, this will be a devastating mistake in the future.

"Maybe I should talk to their dean."

"I'm afraid it won't work, Batman. As I said before, it's all the idea of ​​the founder of Arkham - the dean is at best an outsider, and it's useless for you to talk to him. And the founder of Arkham Now I live in it, Batman, do you want to try to break into Arkham by yourself?"

"..."

The master thinks this is really not a good idea.While he's not afraid to break in, it would mean destroying his own image of 'Arkham as a crime buster'.

"I'll try to find out the situation, you wait for my news. Be careful, don't go to Arkham, don't cause trouble."

Of course my lord will not break into Arkham.

But he can go there openly, because he is also Bruce Wayne.As long as Master Wayne said that he was interested in charity benefits and Arkham, which has upgraded patient treatment, and wanted to visit, and drop by the founder to talk about joint ventures and the like, the other party would definitely not refuse.

Dick couldn't help complaining: "Oh, that's enough, the people sent by Batman on the front foot are thrown out, and you go on the back foot? Can you stop thinking that everyone else is a fool?"

The master is very calm: "Even if you doubt it, at most you suspect that I am sponsoring Batman. Someone will always find some clues. If they think that I am a sponsor of Batman, it is just a good cover. As you said, no one thinks that I am a sponsor of Batman. Batman is going to go there blatantly, so I'm going to go straight there if I want to."

Dick gave in, and whenever Batman asked him seriously, he couldn't refuse.When he had no direct contact with Batman before, he was a Batman fan.Picked up by Batman himself, and seeing Batman's true face after being in direct contact with Batman, he became a face control.He didn't know that he was such a superficial person before!It is only now that I realize that what a handsome person does is right.Batman's cold face is aloof, and Batman's few words are cool and arrogant. Batman's unreasonable troublemaking and stubbornness are all manifestations of self-confidence and firm planning.

So with Batman's irrational behavior, Dick ends up saying, "Well, I'm sure you're always right, Batman," as always.Did he realize at all that it was he and the butler who were always like this, that spoiled Master Wayne to the point where he was sometimes speechless and unreasonable, and his emotional intelligence was worrying.

So Master Wayne went alone, and Rudick was at home guarding the bug to follow up the intelligence.Of course, Master Wayne is a playboy, and it would be unnatural to go to such a dangerous place by himself, so he still brought two bodyguards belonging to the Wayne Group to support the scene.

When we went to Arkham, Master Wayne hadn’t explored it carefully yet, but the facilities and public spaces he saw along the way were enough to prove what Gordon said was right.Basketball courts, video games, and large projection screens are playing movies, and there is no sense of disobedience when these facilities are placed in the public activities of the high-end apartment area.

Didn't Arkham consider that once these mental patients get violent, they can use them to hurt others?

Wayne took a quick look and saw that they had really thought about it.The patients here are not high-risk molecules, but ordinary mental patients who seem to be relatively low-risk, and there are not even a few mentally ill criminals.

He walked in again, and finally saw the area where mentally ill criminals were held, but the facilities here were also clean and tidy, and it was unimaginable that they were as good as a single apartment.Judging from the catering, this is already on the table of a middle-income family, and even the smell makes him, a pampered old man, salivate.To be honest, the only inconvenience of living here is that you can't go out, but looking at those criminals who are reading novels and playing video games with serene and happy expressions, Batman has no doubt that they don't want to go out at all. .

"Have the recipes here been changed?"

He asked the man who showed him the way.

"That's right, it is said that I found a chef from another province and city, according to the nutritional ratio. I ate here for a few days, and my body fat rate dropped, and even my diabetes was alleviated! Why are the guards here on shifts? , I want to live here forever!"

The guard said that he led the way much faster, obviously wanting to send Wayne to dinner as soon as possible.

There is an old saying in China that people die for wealth, and birds die for food.Within Arkham, where property meant little, it was evident that people were more than willing to die for food.In the past, everyone was afraid of the job of Arkham guard, if it wasn't for the high salary and no one had to do it, it would probably be a golden job that everyone is scrambling for now.

When passing the high-risk criminal area, Master Wayne was not allowed to go in and check it. It was located at another corner deeper.But you can hear it from a distance——"Wow, hahaha, that idiot clown is out of luck, he escaped from prison before upgrading here!" I’ll trade my gold teeth with you!” “Whoever wants your gold teeth, give me ten of your privately hidden cigarettes and I’ll think about it!——This kind of dialogue.

Arkham's upgrades seem to have both good and bad sides.The downside is that people outside want to commit crimes to get into Arkham, and the upside is that the criminals here don't want to leave either.

The master, who was sure that the other party had a conspiracy, was a little hesitant at this time.Maybe they just hope to improve the environment in Arkham, so that everyone can live there and don't want to leave. Didn't expect the outside to become like that?

It's better to meet and make a judgment, the master decided.

Master Wayne didn't meet the founder Arkham. The title of critically ill patient is very useful. Just saying "not suitable for meeting guests" can kill you and you have no chance to meet him.

What he saw was the agent of the other party——Jonathan Klein.Perhaps you are more familiar with his other name, Scarecrow.

"why you?"

Wayne pretended to be terrified. Regardless of whether the Scarecrow knew his true identity or not, he would of course bite him to death in public. He had nothing to do with Batman.

"Ah, I know it's surprising, but I've been given diagnostic clearance to prove that I'm a person of normal civil capacity, so please don't worry."

Jonathan explained in an orderly manner. He enthusiastically introduced the various innovations of Arkham, and then told Wayne that although they do not accept outside investment, they hope that the outside world can understand that Arkham is different from before.

Batman doesn't believe him at all.

Instead, he has identified the purpose of the Scarecrow, whose nature is to enjoy chasing fear, manipulating fear, and enjoying other people's fear.He must be planning something.

As if seeing his doubts, Jonathan said suddenly;

"I know, you may think, that people don't change—the nature of people doesn't change. But in fact, people change, just as I become a better person. If you don't believe this, then believe me. Let’s be passionate about love! In the past, my pursuit of fear was too narrow, but now, what I pursue is broader love.”

"...Big love?" Don't bully me as a cultural person, I don't understand your neurotic terms!

"Yeah, I just want to build a better Arkham. Think about it, people living here are constantly afraid of recovering, afraid of going out, and going to that scarier society. How interesting that is I am now committed to making this place better and treating as many of these patients as possible."

……

…………

There is also this kind of gameplay? ! !

Batman was stunned. He had never seen such a noble, enlightened psycho.
