Chapter 3325 Bloody New City (74)

Chapter 3325 Bloodshed in New City (Seventy-four)

Faced with this situation, Odein Company became even more anxious.

Because if the hospital reaches a cooperation agreement with them and buys their equipment, they can also find a way to get the funds. But if they are kicked out completely, then no matter how much money they make, it will have nothing to do with them.

But they suffered because the factory was inefficient and Gotham had too much equipment shortage. Even if the hospital representatives were willing to cooperate with them, they probably wouldn't be able to convince the city government because no one would believe that Odein could deliver the order.

In order to win the trust of the people in the municipal government foundation, the hospital will avoid this company as much as possible and instead look for some small companies that seem more likely to deliver on time. Anyway, they will get their share.

There are indeed quite a few people from Odein in the hospital, including in the management, but they became Odein because they were funded or bribed, to put it bluntly, it's all about money.

Now that more money is in front of them, it is hard for them to avoid being shaken. They don't need to take the initiative to do anything, just keep silent when giving opinions in meetings, even if they don't offend either side, they will still get the share they deserve.

However, if we speak up for Odein now and the cooperation is not achieved, and we are targeted by Odein's competitors, we might be kicked off the table and get nothing.

In this way, under the tacit understanding of everyone, Odein's years of hard work in major companies almost came to a halt. Seeing that this meal could not even have a mouthful of soup.

At this time, the representative of the municipal government chose to take a step back. He told Odein that although it was too late for them to produce new equipment, as long as they could repair the damaged equipment in a short time, they could take out some money from the municipal funds as the repair costs.

Odein Company had originally planned to give up, but when it saw that there was still hope for a turnaround, it naturally seized the opportunity.

At first, they sent some machines that were not seriously damaged back to the UK through normal repair procedures. When the UK headquarters heard the news, they also sent people to work overtime, and the efficiency was generally acceptable.

But alas, the problem lies along the way.

The state legislature suddenly launched an anti-dumping investigation against medical devices and equipment. All devices and equipment entering and leaving the country were detained at the Metropolitan Customs. The investigation against Odein lasted for three months, and all equipment entering and leaving the country within three months would need to be carefully inspected by the customs.

Now Odein was in a complete mess. The production of new equipment could not keep up, and if they sent the old equipment back for repair, it would be detained by customs. Didn't this mean that they had no choice but to withdraw from the Gotham market?

But if they lose a city today, they will lose a pond tomorrow. When will this end? Gotham is one of the most developed cities in the United States. Losing the market here will also damage the brand reputation and reduce the confidence of shareholders. They don't want to bear such a loss.

After much thought, there is only one solution left. That is to secretly send technicians here and have them repair the car locally. This can at least slow down the speed at which other brands invade the market.

The head of the Gotham branch of Odein Corporation has already resorted to all means to resolve this terrible accident. He dared to say anything. He repeatedly assured the headquarters that he would never let anyone else get in touch with the technicians and would not leak the technology.

The headquarters seemed to have no other choice but to reluctantly send three technicians over and repeatedly reminded them to protect their safety. The person in charge of Gotham also nodded in agreement, patting his chest.

Then, these three unlucky guys were kidnapped on their first day in Gotham.

Maybe it was because the wind was too strong or the rain was too cold. On the way into the city, the tire ran over a puddle of water and was instantly frozen.

The car lost balance and flipped over. When the rescuers arrived, the water had dried up, the car was gone, and the people were gone too.

Dr. Tompkins was in his clinic, bandaging the three patients with bloody heads on the beds with a complicated look on his face.

"Is this really okay?" She turned around and looked at Schiller who was sitting by the window, and then said, "How did you bring them here? Are you sure they won't be discovered?"

"Don't worry." Schiller said, "The next task for you and Piette is to find out what kind of technology Odein Company uses to create cancer."

"You want us to interrogate them? Man, you got the wrong guy?" said Piette at the door.

"The word 'interrogation' is too unkind. I think you can also talk to them and ask them to voluntarily hand over the technology." Schiller said with a smile, "If they don't cooperate, you can ask the Angel of Death for help."

"The big guy would just kill them."

"He won't." Schiller shook his head and said, "As long as you tell him that these people are the technicians who created the special machine, he won't kill them so quickly. He will find a way to help you figure out their secrets."

"You seem to know him very well?"

"Of course." Schiller nodded and said, "Didn't you realize that he no longer wanted to live. Or rather, the church volunteer named Paul had died a long time ago. What lives in the world now is a flame of revenge. Killing for revenge is not difficult, but what is more valuable is that he can endure for revenge."

"He was a little bit of a psycho," Piette said. "I think he just spent too much time in church. It's not a good place to be."

"Who says it's not?" Schiller stood up and said, "So you have to keep him busy and don't let him think about the cross all the time. I want results within three days."

After that, Schiller left. On his way back to the municipal building, Jason called him and asked him to talk in detail near the reservoir.

Schiller drove to the reservoir and soon found Jason at a nearby restaurant, where he was eating a whole pizza. Schiller sat down and ordered a glass of sparkling wine.

Seeing Schiller coming, Jason wiped his mouth and said, "You guessed right, Batman went into the water again. And judging from the time he dived, he went deeper this time."

"Deeper?"

"Yes. Gotham is not a plain, but a hilly terrain. The original Gotham Village was built in a valley. The village went from the southeast side of a mountain to the northwest side. Batman should be exploring the northern part this time."

"What's there?"

"Arkham Fortress. It's where General Arkham used to live." Jason took out a smaller map and placed it on the table. "General Arkham built his own fortress on the north side of the mountain, mainly for garrisoning and training troops. There are also rumors that there is a large prison under the fortress, which is used to detain those who rebel against him. Batman may be looking for that prison."

"Why did he do this?"

Schiller was asking Jason, but in fact, he was also asking himself. He had already learned what Batgirl had investigated. This proved that the truth was very similar to the background story in the comics. The history of Gotham shown in the comics was credible.

Although it is believable, it is not necessarily complete. For example, the background of General Arkham is not explained. Schiller always feels that this person is not simple.

"I think we have to look at it in combination with Batman's discovery." Jason said, "He couldn't be unaware that his ancestors had worked with the East India Company. This company is notorious. From this, we can infer that the ancestors of the Wayne family were not good people either."

"From this perspective, he will be more suspicious as to why the ancestor of the Wayne family wanted to kill General Arkham."

"Isn't it to take over Gotham?"

"If he wanted to seize Gotham, he should have built it on the basis of Arkham Village. But after he seized it for a long time, didn't he just find another place to build the city?"

Schiller also reacted. Edmund Wayne's actions were actually somewhat contradictory. If he was envious of the construction of Gotham Village, then after killing General Arkham, he should have directly inherited Arkham Fortress and continued to run Gotham Village.

But he didn't do that at all. After killing General Arkham, he simply abandoned the station that he had been managing for half a day and went to open up wasteland on the other side. How unjust was General Arkham's death?

Since Edmund has the ability to start a new business, why would he go and provoke General Arkham? Although it is not allowed to let others sleep soundly beside the bed, there is no need to provoke the great lord as soon as he arrives, right? Are you really not afraid of being killed as soon as you land?

Schiller is more inclined to believe that Edmund Wayne wanted Gotham Village, but some changes happened later, which not only prevented him from building a city here, but also forced him to find a way to flood it.

"It seems that Batman just wants to find out why his ancestors abandoned Gotham Village." Schiller muttered to himself, "Gotham Village must have some secrets. What could it be?"

"Is it possible that the Order Cult was behind this?" Jason gave his guess. "The pastor who came with Wayne wanted to preach here. He would definitely put forward some conditions to Wayne, such as building a church and developing the church."

"Maybe Wayne wanted to build the Gotham Village left by General Arkham at the beginning, but the priest followed the order of the Order and did something. Edmund Wayne was unable to resist and had to retreat. With the help of the East India Company, he built a city somewhere else."

Schiller gave him a thumbs up in his heart. It should be said that when these people are not sad about the passing of time, their professional level is still very solid. This reasoning makes a lot of sense.

Although Pastor Bakar seems to be a good man in the comics, he actually killed several British soldiers cleanly and neatly as soon as he appeared. He is a native of Britain, not an invader. He slaughtered his own soldiers without blinking an eye, which shows that he is definitely not a good citizen.

What's more, the Order behind him is even more problematic. In the comic, Paul has a mental illness attack and the hospital can't do anything about it, but once he arrives at the church and bathes in the flames, he is immediately cured. This is simply abnormal to the extreme.

Schiller tended to believe that the Vale family, to which Bakar and Paul belonged, had some connection with magic.

Paul took the red pill, and the gray fog entered his body. After checking him, they found that his physical fitness was far superior to that of an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have been able to endure such a long time under the torture of cancer. But apart from the cancer, nothing abnormal was found.

The absence of abnormality was the biggest abnormality. The flames he saw were not caused by the gray fog, but were purely caused by his own mental problems.

But then again, the hallucinations caused by mental illness are not about logging into the game and choosing your favorite hero. Why is it the flame again? This is not a coincidence.

Schiller suspected that the Order must have done something to the Varley family, causing them to have abnormal bodies and minds.

The strongest support for this inference is that the Batman in this universe is not a descendant of the Wayne family. The comics finally revealed his origins, and he is a descendant of Bakar.

In other words, Batman is also a descendant of the Wallace family.

It is unlikely that it is a coincidence that both he and Paul suffer from mental illness. There is something wrong with the bloodline designation of the Varley family.

Schiller concealed the truth about Batman's origins and then told Jason his speculation.

Jason was silent for a long time after listening to this, and suddenly an idea came to him. He said, "Remember the rumors about the curse of Arkham General?"
