Chapter 3307 Bloody New City (56)

Chapter 3307 Bloodshed in New City (Fifty-Six)

"I didn't expect you to bring him back here. I guess his attending physician didn't agree." Schiller said as he stood at the door of Wayne Manor's bedroom. "If you plan to be hypocritical to me, then I can also use the high medical fee and say some nice words to fool you."

"Wayne Hospital isn't safe enough." Batman seemed to be explaining, he said, "Someone is watching there, I can't let them find Jason."

"Well, whatever you say. I hope the familiar surroundings don't irritate him. Otherwise you'll have to pay more."

Schiller pushed the door open a little and saw a figure sitting beside the bed, who seemed calm. So he said, "You can't be present when I treat him. And I will make the cameras you set up completely ineffective. If you can't accept that, forget it."

Batman frowned, seeming to be still thinking, but Schiller had already pushed the door in and slammed Batman outside.

After entering the room, a wisp of gray mist spread out and made a circle in the room. Soon, all the walls were covered with a light mist.

The young man who had been sitting on the bed finally raised his head.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, with an indescribable fierceness. Just looking into his eyes made people feel cold on their backs.

Schiller did not respond to his attitude. He just sat on the chair next to the bed, looked at him and said, "I'm sure Batman won't know about our conversation. I think you can tell me what happened back then."

Jason seemed to have returned to his daze. But after sitting there for a while, he reached for the water cup on the bedside.

Schiller handed him the glass of water. He drank the whole glass of water, coughed hard twice, coughed up some bloody phlegm, and then let out a long breath.

"Batman could have saved me the night the Joker took me away." Jason's voice was extremely hoarse, like a vegetative person who had been paralyzed in bed for many years and had no consciousness and suddenly opened his mouth to speak. It seemed that his vocal cords were not under his control at all, and useless breath sounds were interspersed in every turning syllable.

"Are you resenting him?"

"That's not what I want to talk about." Jason continued, "The key is why he didn't come to save me."

"What is it?"

"He went to stop a crime."

"So you still resent him for not choosing you."

"I said this is not the point! Cough cough cough!" Jason put the cup hard on the table, and the water in it splashed out.

He coughed for a long time before continuing, "That was a manipulated case. The purpose was to have Batman destroy a metal smelter during the fight with Bane to cover up the fact that a certain batch of raw materials did not exist."

Jason didn't seem to expect Schiller to understand. He just kept talking to himself: "Before the Joker took action, I followed the clues of this case and found someone. Then I suddenly realized the truth of all this - Batman has been used by them."

Schiller raised his eyebrows. He calculated the time and found that Jason should have been very young at that time, no older than 12 years old. How could he have discovered the truth so early?

"And then you got caught by the Joker?"

"Yes," Jason said after taking a deep breath. "He tortured me and asked me about the true identity of Batman."

"He didn't know at that time?"

"He didn't know. But I told him."

Schiller frowned. He was thinking back to the original plot, but in the original White Knight comic, Jason didn't have many scenes, only a few scenes of him being tortured by the Joker.

However, in the original plot, he did reveal Batman's identity, and even said that becoming Batman's assistant was the thing he regretted most.

But now it seems that this sentence has a different interpretation. If Jason knew so early that Batman was actually an accomplice of the upper class, then is he regretting that he had helped the evil?

Jason took a deep breath and said, "I used to think that as long as I helped Batman, I could save Gotham. But after knowing the truth, I realized that I was too naive. Batman's existence itself is wrong."

“As long as he exists, those people can use him to cover up their mistakes.” Jason said coldly, “Even the Joker is more innocent than him. At least the Joker’s crazy brain prevents him from being used or bribed by anyone.”

Schiller could understand Jason's feelings at the time, because Jason had lived at the bottom of Gotham and was unwilling to accept his fate. Like Willy, he wanted to find a way out for the city.

At that time, he wishfully believed that as long as he tried his best to help Batman, he would be able to make the city a better place. He put a lot of effort into this and really felt that he had done it.

Until one day, he suddenly realized that by helping Batman he was not saving the city at all, but was helping those elites who had oppressed and persecuted him to persecute more poor people like him.

It was as if he had gone from being a hero who saved the world to an executioner with blood on his hands overnight. His faith completely collapsed.

"So you revealed Batman's identity to the Joker."

"Yes. I hope the Joker can go and kill him." Jason looked up at Schiller and said, "At least kill the identity of Batman so that he won't do such stupid things again."

“But it didn’t work.”

Jason shook his head and said, "Because the Joker is not fighting Batman alone, but the entire upper class. As long as those elites still want to use Batman to make money, they will help Batman fight the Joker."

"Do you know who saved you?"

Jason paused for a rare moment and said, "I can't be sure. But maybe it's Harley Quinn."

"What do you mean?"

"When the Joker tortured me, she secretly helped me. Otherwise, I would have gone crazy a long time ago. But in the end, I was in a coma and just felt like I was thrown somewhere. Then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found myself in a mental hospital in Bludhaven."

Schiller tapped the armrest with his fingers and said, "I hope you can be honest with me. Because there are not many people who can help you now. But I can understand your concealment. After all, we are not very familiar with each other."

"You want to ask why I'm pretending to be crazy?"

Schiller looked at him without saying anything.

Jason pursed his lips and said, "Someone is watching me. I suspect it's that group of people, but I'm not sure. They may want to use me as a last resort to threaten Batman."

Before Schiller could speak, Jason started talking to himself: "I realized the truth and was caught by the Joker at the same time. At that time, I was in great mental and physical pain and had no time to calm down and think carefully."

"But then, when I was in the asylum, I thought about all the things Batman had done, and I realized he was even dumber than I thought. He really thought he was doing good things."

"But if that's the case, then it proves that he is at least a stupid good man. If he can realize and admit this, then he will definitely not be obedient anymore."

"But that group of people will not give up a money-making machine that they have cultivated for so long. They need to find a way to control Batman, and they can only start with people close to Batman."

Hearing this, Schiller paused for a moment, tapping the armrest subconsciously. He looked at Jason and said, "Did you know that Alfred is dead?"

Jason was devastated.

He stood up from the bed, but it seemed that because he had been sitting for too long, the blood circulation in his legs was not smooth. After he stood up suddenly, he let out a cry of pain and fell directly to the ground.

His action was so sudden that Schiller didn't react. He quickly helped Jason up.

But Jason seemed not to see him. He said, "Yes, that must be the case. They took action. They want to make Batman their puppet completely."

Schiller was about to say something when he felt his wrist being grabbed. Jason used great force, and Schiller tried to pull it out, but couldn't.

"Calm down," Schiller said, "or you won't blame me for being rude."

Jason didn't react at all. Schiller felt that he was not completely crazy, but he didn't seem to be mentally normal.

"After Alfred's death, did Batman become more violent? He began to treat criminals with more violence, beating them, and even hurting them. Is that right?!"

Schiller narrowed his eyes and said, "How do you know?"

Jason then let go of his hand and said, "I..."

"You can tell me what you know." Schiller said after comforting him, "I will verify it myself."

Jason sat back down, but his limbs were stiff. He rested his hands on his knees and said, "They didn't choose Batman for nothing."

"what?"

"The Wayne family may have a genetic disease." Jason licked his dry lips and said, "They tend to be violent when their emotions fluctuate greatly, and it will become more serious as they age."

"How did you know?!"

"When Alfred was sorting out the Wayne couple's belongings, I found a tape recorder. There was an unfinished tape in it, which seemed to be the treatment records of a psychiatrist."

"What does it say?"

"I can't remember clearly, but it seems to say that Thomas Wayne's condition has worsened. He did something." Jason's fists on his knees gradually clenched. He said, "The voice is familiar. It seems to be the voice of Batman's personal physician Dr. Tompkins."

Schiller felt the clues in his mind begin to connect. He looked at Jason and said, "You never told Batman this?"

"At the time I just thought it didn't matter. But later when I was in the mental hospital and thought about everything carefully, I felt something was wrong."

Jason swallowed and said, "Gotham's upper class was not established after Bruce Wayne was born. At least it existed when his father was a child. They have been investing in crime for a long time, and it is very likely that it started decades ago."

"Do you suspect that Batman's father was also chosen by them? But his father did not become a superhero and was unfortunately assassinated."

"Is it possible that his father was assassinated because he didn't want to become Batman?" Jason quickened his tone and looked at Schiller and said, "Thomas went to see a psychiatrist, which means he realized that something was wrong. He may have wanted to correct this mistake, but was discovered by that group of people. In order to complete their evil plan, they simply killed the Waynes and turned to train their son."

“Nice story. But you have no proof,” Schiller said. “Alfred, the only person who could have known the whole story, is dead.”

"But Dr. Tompkins is still alive," Jason said. "Although she came later than Alfred, if Thomas is seeking her for psychological treatment, it proves that she can be trusted."

Schiller sighed and said, "I will investigate. Before that, please do me a favor."

"what's up?"

"How much of your skills do you have left?"

Jason looked up at him. "What do you want me to do?"

"Revenge, of course." Schiller also looked at him and said, "Find the Pale Knight and shoot him."
