A normal day, a normal day.
At least for the patients at Arkham Sanitarium who look at the same scenery every day, this is indeed an extremely ordinary day.
Ordinary sunshine, ordinary meals, ordinary TV programs, ordinary people suddenly going crazy and putting a dinner plate on the guard's head, ordinary people being knocked to the ground by electric shock, ordinary people being carried away.
Ordinary, too ordinary.
Everyone seems to have gotten used to it, or maybe they don't care at all.
No matter what is on the TV, whether it is a movie, animation, or news, even if there are advertisements and snowflakes, everyone will stare at it until the TV is turned off, leaving an ugly black screen. .
Even when someone was yelling and running around holding dinner plates, and food was flying all over the sky, everyone remained calm. They watched him going crazy, watching him attack the nervous guards, and watching him being knocked down by electric shocks. , just like watching something on TV.
After reading, continue to do your own thing, stuff the food into your mouth, chew, swallow, and move on to the next bite...
Most people here are like this, they seem to take anything for granted.
However, Black Manta can't do it.
He couldn't be so calm, couldn't turn a blind eye, couldn't act like nothing happened, couldn't be without fear.
He was afraid that he would become like that, and become as numb as them.
Gotta get out of this place!
We have to get out of here! !
…
After lunch, everything calmed down.
The vegetables and soup spilled on the floor have been cleaned up, and the TV hanging on the wall is playing local news again.
Black Manta noticed that only when news about Batman was shown on TV, the patients here would show some suppressed reactions.
Most of the prisoners here, those serving sentences in Arkham, were caught here by Batman. Of course, they have reason to hate Batman. Black Bat felt that this might be an opportunity.
At least so far, he has no hatred for Batman, and he doesn't know anyone in Gotham at all. However, he didn't mind telling a lie, one that would help him get closer to someone.
When the clock on the wall pointed in the direction of two o'clock, there was a loud noise in the garden. Pretending to be casual, Black Bat Ben peeked over there.
Ah...that guy is back.
Outside the door, a group of patients wearing hospital gowns and wearing black or red logo straps on their hands walked over from a distance, talking and laughing.
They seemed to be in a good mood and in good spirits. There was some sweat on their foreheads, and it could be seen from those baseball bats, badminton rackets, and basketballs that they were having a great time.
Looking around, Black Bat Ben focused on the only person wearing a red bandage.
That young man, that new guy.
He didn't seem to have a name, and he didn't seem to be sick. To be honest, Black Bolt felt that everyone here, including the guards and doctors, including himself, was sick.
Except for that guy.
He is always full of energy, always cheerful, always enthusiastic, as if...
It's as if he's not in the terrifying Arkham, but actually in an ordinary sanatorium.
On his body, Black Bat Ben could not see any signs of being oppressed or forced.
He is the only one who is interested in the TV remote control. At any time, including the guards, only he will use the remote control to change channels and purposefully choose a program he likes to watch.
He is the only one who has requirements for the taste of food. Every time he eats, he will feel like he is enjoying a real meal, just like in a restaurant. He will comment on the food and explain his opinions to the guards. Views.
He's the only one who swears at Batman on TV. Every time other people gritted their teeth at Batman on the TV, but kept their faces expressionless, for fear that their emotions would be seen, he was the only one who would jump on his feet and say that the old bat shouldn't have captured these people into Arkham. and prison, saying that old bat is the number one idiot in Gotham.
He is the only one...
He has many uniques.
He is the most special person here.
Just like now, no patient has the right to walk out of that door at non-stipulated times and go outside to relax, let alone play or play ball.
But he can.
Black Bat Ben didn't even see him make any report or anything like that. He simply ran somewhere and got some equipment, and then... Black Bat Ben swore that he saw it right. That person, holding the ball, He walked straight to the door, bypassed the guard at the door, and reached out to open the door.
He still stood at the door and asked: I am missing a few people, who will come over?
Oh my god... In the end, when no one dared to stand up and disobey the rules, it was the guard captain who asked his superiors for instructions and personally assigned some people to him! !
What is this privilege? ! !
Black Bat Ben didn't know, he only knew that as long as he could get involved with that guy, he would be able to escape!
must!
…………
"Ah hahahaha! It's so good, so good, I have juice to drink again ~ good juice ~ hahahaha!"
Lin En took a shower, happily walked to the hall again, and turned on the TV.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been home, and it feels so great!
In terms of being relaxed and at ease, it was here in Arkham that Linn felt the long-lost care the most.
You don’t spend a dime, your food is taken care of, your sanitation is cleaned, your water and electricity bills are paid, you always have a lot of friends with amazing brains around you to chat with, and you can take sedatives if you can’t sleep. This kind of life is comfortable. !
Turn on the TV, and sure enough, the old bat outside has been very active in scoring recently, and is crazy about sending a lot of unlucky people to prison or Arkham.
Linn looked very angry.
If all the damn people were caught, one of them was even hit by the Batmobile and hung on a street lamp, so let that person hang himself!
Why do we have to expend such effort to save the person, apply emergency bandages and stop the bleeding, and then lock the person up again?
Are you afraid that he will not be able to continue committing crimes after he is released from prison?
Even if you break both of his arms or poke his eyes out.
"Idiot! This old bat is so stupid! He doesn't look angry. The more he looks at it, the angrier he becomes!
There are idiots like this in Gotham, no good! I am so angry! ! "
Lin En was yelling again, but everyone pretended not to see it and had no reaction at all.
Nonsense, how dare you react like this.
This is not the way to seek death...
Ever since Lin Enshang escaped through a big hole here, all normal "patients", that is, criminals with the name of mental illness, know that this is a guy who is not easy to mess with.
During the time when Deadshot Lawton was still living here, although he was very strict and did not reveal any information about Lynn, Lawton relied on his network of connections and force to become the least likely person in Arkham. He is one of those people who is easy to mess with. His respectful and fearful attitude towards Linn already speaks volumes.
Later, as new prisoners continued to join this harmonious family, the news from the outside and the intelligence about Batman and Linn gradually came in bit by bit.
They were surprised to find that almost no one was sent in here by Linn.
After figuring out the cause of this problem, everyone had an unclear and obviously exaggerated understanding of Linn's existence.
Here, the name Lynn has almost become a word that cannot be said at all.
Why would no one touch the remote control? Even if they endure to watch advertisements, news, and snowflakes, they still sit here and watch it?
Because I'm afraid of Lynn.
Lynn likes to watch TV, like to read the news, and like to hold the remote control in her hand. Why, does anyone dare to grab the right to change channels and express their displeasure?
Why doesn't anyone dare to join him in scolding Batman?
The legend that Lynn and Batman are enemies of each other has been circulating in Gotham for a long time, and many people have witnessed the two men fighting each other on the streets.
but……
Batman never mentions Linn's name on any occasion. Linn...Lynn is very mysterious. No one has seen him in person, and those who may have seen him have died, so no relevant news has been circulated.
Therefore, it is almost certain that two people are enemies. However, everyone thinks that Batman will not have an enemy that cannot be defeated, and Lynn will not have an enemy that cannot be killed. Half of the people hold these two views.
Then why are they still alive and well?
There is actually only one answer.
Both of them are cultivating Gu, both are sizing up each other, and both regard the other as the kind of person who must be killed by themselves.
This is the only reasonable explanation.
Some people have experimented with their own lives. That was a few years ago. Linn was also in Arkham. He was sitting here watching TV and cursed Batman after seeing him.
That time, a man caught by Batman also stood up and cursed.
later……
Later, Lynn looked back at him, and the man responded with a simple provocation: What!
Later he died.
This matter has been eliminated, but many people here have to live here for a lifetime, so there are still many people involved who still live here, so naturally they cannot hide it from these old residents.
However, of course they did not dare to discuss Linn’s affairs, let alone spread these things.
Lin En was a patient with them and killed someone in front of the guards. What was the result?
There is no result! Nothing at all!
Why didn't they dare to stand up when Linn said he wanted to go out to play, because they were afraid of the guards? Is it because of obeying Arkham's rules?
fart.
Lynn is the rule in Arkham.
What they were afraid of was simply Lin En.
This is an obvious question.
If you go out with your life, you may not come back with your life...
Fortunately, fortunately. Lin En seems to be living very happily these days. He hasn't had sex with anyone for more than five days. It's great...
"Hey, my friend."
While he was wandering in a daze, thinking about the news about Lynn, an old resident who had lived in Arkham for more than ten years because he set fire to his own brother when he was young was suddenly startled by a voice from behind. arrive.
Frowning and turning his head slightly, he saw who was calling him.
The new guy with no bracelet identification, just a number.
The old resident frowned even deeper.
No bracelet but only a number means only two situations. The first is that this guy was only transferred to Arkham briefly and was transferred soon, so there was no profile for him. But since he already lives here in Area H, this is of course impossible.
The second type is that this guy was transferred by the police station, but he committed a crime outside Gotham and fled to Gotham. He has no identity information outside, so he can only handle it this way.
There is absolutely no need to pay attention to such a guy.
Can any criminal deal with Gotham criminals? Do you understand the rules?
"Friend, haha, I just want to make a simple friend, and by the way, I can get some knowledge."
The man smiled and said: "After all, I am a newcomer. There are many things I don't understand. I need the guidance of an expert like you."
The newcomers are quite polite in their speech. They are not as deviant as most of the people in this place. They are also talking about boss Lin En and others, which is very annoying.
His brows relaxed a little, and he was sitting farthest away from the TV, which already speaks volumes about the issues of [courage] and [status]. This old resident has not felt respected and asked for advice for a long time.
The smile on his face bloomed even brighter. Black Bat Ben came closer and lowered his voice slightly: "Has anyone been out here..."
After hearing this, the old residents also smiled. This was no surprise. No one wanted to live here, except for Lynn, of course. After almost everyone was imprisoned in Arkham, they thought about escaping from here.
But so far, few have succeeded.
But right now, there is one person in this room who has succeeded... The old resident stopped his divergent thinking and controlled himself not to look at Lin En.
"I think I have. But I advise you not to..."
"Is it...that person?"
After cutting off the conversation, Black Bat Ben pointed a finger at the person sitting in the first row who was changing channels with the remote control.
"Don't talk nonsense!"
The old resident spoke quickly and replied in a stern tone.
After saying that, he turned his head and decided to ignore this new guy.
"Ah. He succeeded. Then why did he come back again? Do you think he will run away from here again..."
Black Bat Ben seemed to be talking to himself, but the old residents in front of him ignored him.
Frowning his brows, Black Bat Ben felt as if he had hit a wall.
After thinking for a while, he did not choose to use his best force, but endured this time and turned around to approach other old residents to obtain information.
What surprised him was that everyone here seemed to be keeping secrets about that guy, as if they knew something but didn't say anything.
On the one hand, this made Black Manta completely sure that his guess was correct. That guy is indeed special, and he has indeed successfully left here before, and he will definitely leave here again!
On the other hand... Black Bat Ben tried almost everyone he could get close to, but he got nothing. No matter who it was, no matter how long he laid the groundwork, no matter what kind of benefits he promised, in the end, as long as he started to test Bring the topic to that person, and those people's expressions will change, then they will look at him with defensive eyes, and finally leave without saying a word.
Black Bat Ben lay on the hospital bed and thought about it all night, and got two results.
First of all, that guy, he must be a doctor from Arkham, or a member of the management! That's why this happened.
Secondly, it will definitely not work to inquire about information and plan things slowly. He must move forward dangerously, putting aside all worries, temptations, threats, and all approaches that have a performance element.
He decided to go directly to that guy, tell him his true thoughts, and let him help him escape from prison!
Black Bat Ben had a feeling, a strange intuition. He felt that his "plan" might have a higher success rate than the plans he had thought of before. He felt that that guy would definitely not report him to the higher authorities. ,he thinks……
"He will definitely help me!"
