Chapter 1454: Birds Returning (Part 15)
"Done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done, done!!"
Harley threw down the scalpel in a panic and screamed: "It's over!! I haven't even written the summary!! It's all your fault, if you two hadn't delayed things, I would have finished it long ago!!"
"Harley, are you there? Can I come in? I heard from someone on the first floor that you were in this room..."
"Oh, wait a moment, I'm changing clothes!"
Harley hurriedly put away the toolbox, waved her hands hard at the two people, lowered her voice and said: "Quick, quick, quick, you hide quickly, if he discovers you, you're done for!"
"Bruce Wei En isn't... I mean, isn't he that famous playboy in Cat Getan? Why are we afraid of him?"
Red Hood was pushed by Harley towards the cabinet, still arguing on his mouth. Harley pushed him into the cabinet, widened her eyes and looked at him: "Are you serious?! This psychiatric hospital was built by him single-handedly!"
Red Robin gasped, and with Harley's help, he also squeezed into the cabinet. The two saw Harley open the door through the crack of the cabinet door, and Bruce Wei En appeared outside the door.
Bruce said while closing the room door: "I should have come earlier, but I went to the office upstairs to pick up a letter. I'll come to see your progress and leave, someone is waiting for me in the office."
Harley breathed a sigh of relief immediately. Since Bruce was in a hurry, he definitely didn't have time to look at the written conclusion. Fortunately, she only hadn't written the summary, and the practical part had already been finished.
Bruce and Harley walked to the operating table. Bruce didn't change into surgical scrubs, but put on a pair of gloves.
He reached out steadily to push aside the skin of the abdominal cavity that had been cut open, pushed aside unnecessary organs, pinched blood vessels and nerves, and checked the cutting situation inside, his eyes calm and with a bit of academic focus.
Then, he reached out and pinched the muscles on the arm of the dissection object, looked up at Harley and said: "You didn't thaw him completely?"
"Uh, the thawing room downstairs is full, I can only move it up and let it thaw naturally. But I didn't expect it to thaw so slowly, I was in a hurry to do homework, so I cut it like this."
Bruce's expression clearly showed a trace of dissatisfaction. Even if this matter had nothing to do with them, the two Robins still felt their hearts in their throats, as if they were back to waiting for Batman's evaluation after every mission.
"Remember to thaw completely before cutting next time. But this is also my lack of consideration, the thawing room was built too small. What do you think about adding one on the first basement floor?"
"Will the first basement floor be a bit far?" Harley said while tidying up surgical tools: "Although it's closer to the cold storage, it's still very troublesome to move the thawed corpse up."
"What about installing a direct elevator?"
"Then there's no problem, it's good to be rich."
"How is your limb slicing going?"
"It's here, I'll bring it for you to see."
Harley ran to the warehouse "deng deng deng", and then walked back with a tray. Bruce checked the limb slices on it, and then began to explain to Harley how to separate nerves with one of the elbow structure slices.
And Red Hood, who was hiding in the cabinet, made a gesture to Red Robin, "Didn't I say he was crazy?"
"Couldn't agree more." Red Robin nodded vigorously and responded with gestures.
But suddenly, Bruce's voice came from outside the cabinet: "I see blood stains on the wall over there, what's going on?"
Red Robin's heart was immediately gripped. In the dim light outside the crack of the cabinet, he saw Bruce turn his head to look at the place where he sat before. It should be the blood stain left when Harley took out the bullet that she didn't have time to wipe clean.
"Oh, that was when I was holding a scalpel to check the warehouse inventory and accidentally dripped it on the ground." Harley explained.
Red Robin's hanging heart was let go.
"Why did you take the first-aid kit over there?" Bruce asked again.
Red Hood's heart was raised again.
"I thought I left my gloves inside, so I went to rummage through it, but didn't expect it wasn't there. I didn't have time to put it back yet."
Red Hood's hanging heart was let go.
Bruce's tone had always been very calm, as if just asking casually. But combined with the situation of corpses and blood in the room, this normal tone seemed more and more abnormal, even creepy.
More than ten minutes later, Bruce finally finished the lecture and checked the homework. After he turned and left, the two who came out of the cabinet were almost two piles of limp noodles.
Red Hood sat on the ground, panting heavily and said: "Scared me to death, he was just a little bit away from discovering us!"
And Red Robin was a bit more sober than him, so he reflected: "Why are we afraid of him? We haven't even been this afraid of Batman!"
"How would I know? When you were in the cabinet just now, you were shaking even more violently than me!"
"I just think the way he reached his hand directly into the abdominal cavity to check the incision was too evil!" Red Robin said somewhat self-abandoned: "I can't describe it, but the way he dissected the corpse just now made me feel that if we were discovered by him, the one lying on the dissection table would be us!"
Red Hood nodded vigorously, expressing agreement with his idea.
Bruce's posture just now, they had never seen on Batman. Batman doesn't kill, wouldn't let them see corpses, and even more wouldn't let them see him dissect corpses.
Although they knew that all of Bruce's actions were actually for medical academic purposes, and definitely not evil like some serial killers who play with corpses, they still couldn't help but associate the two, and then generate a completely different fear from the contradictory feelings.
Human beings will be panicked or erupt with other emotions in an environment beyond common sense cognition. And if they are very calm in the face of a certain environment, it proves that this environment is one they can accept and are familiar with—Bruce was too calm just now.
This made the two imaginative Robins have some terrible thoughts. Reason told them it was impossible, but they didn't have much reason left now.
Red Robin looked at Harley and asked tentatively: "You just said, this psychiatric hospital was funded and built by Bruce Wei En?"
"More than that, this psychiatric hospital was designed by him personally. From the architectural structure to the materials, everything was decided by him. Of course, the operating mode was also established by him."
"So, getting corpses from gangs is also..."
Harley nodded and said: "Besides Wei En, who else could have such connections?"
After speaking, she led the two to the window. Harley pulled the curtains open, and what came into Red Robin and Red Hood's eyes was a continuous building on the whole island.
Except for the one they were in, there were at least a dozen different buildings scattered all over the island. From the appearance of the buildings, it could be seen that their functions were different. This place was like an independent world with complete facilities.
Before the two could ask, Harley introduced them.
"The building we are in is the regular inpatient department of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, with a total of seven floors above and below ground, containing more than 600 regular wards and more than 100 special care wards, as well as two floors of patient activity centers. The underground is the cold storage for corpses."
"As you can see, all the people living here are terrible serial killers, but actually they aren't terrible. Look over there, that building with a semi-circular roof and a helipad is a sanatorium."
"The sanatorium is full of social celebrities, including scholars, tycoons, and even nobles."
"They don't live here all the time, only coming here to attend academic conferences when invited by the professor, or vacationing here for one to two weeks at the end of autumn every year."
"Of course, they also have small hobbies similar to patients in regular wards. The higher the floor, the higher the class, whether it is social status or professional level. I heard that a cannibal gentleman living on the top floor is even a count."
Harley also introduced some living facilities of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital in a scattered way, including canteen activity areas, conference centers, etc.
And Red Robin looked into the distance. He saw that the whole island wasn't just surrounded by buildings around this building. There were three or four other building complexes in the distance.
"There." Harley pointed to a whole square building complex in the distance and said: "See? There is a separate bridge leading to that building complex in the north district, which is where Cat Getan gang leaders are active."
Red Hood and Red Robin stood by the window and looked, finding that Harley was referring to a brightly lit building area. There were high-rise buildings and neon lights shining. Even in the middle of the night, there were searchlights lighting up the dark night sky.
"There are mansions, dance halls, casinos, bars, etc. needed for gang leaders to socialize. People from the Twelve Families and gang leaders will exchange information and intelligence there. Since the beginning of this year, all their cooperation and business have been negotiated there."
"And over there." Harley changed a direction, and Red Hood and Red Robin looked in the direction she pointed.
That was a slightly quiet low-rise circular building area, located in the densest forest on the whole island, covered by lush plants, making it a bit unclear, but it could still be seen that there was a not-so-small airport in the very center.
"That is the largest and most luxurious mercenary distribution park in the world so far. You can find any mercenary in the world who publicly accepts employment there. Even if they themselves aren't there, there must be someone there who can contact them."
"And the method I want to tell you to get out of here is to just make a phone call and find a mercenary to come and escort you out, simple, convenient and fast. Seeing that you helped me finish my homework in time, I'll treat you this time."
Red Hood and Red Robin looked at each other. Red Hood smacked his lips and said: "We will repay you."
"Thank you for bandaging us, Miss. Helping you finish your homework is what we should do. It would be better if the process wasn't so creepy." Red Robin smiled at Harley and said: "And this time we owe you. Before we leave, we are at your disposal at any time."
Harley waved her hand and said quite loyally: "Alright, didn't expect you to be so sensible. Looks like I really have to bleed a bit this time."
"Wait for it, I'll definitely call you a professional!"
Three minutes later, a figure appeared on the roof of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital. Five minutes later, two neat screams came from the building.
"Deathstroke??!" ===== CHAPTER 1455 =====
"Just wait, I'll definitely call a professional for you!"
Three minutes later, a figure appeared on the roof of Arkham Psychiatric Hospital. Five minutes later, two neat, synchronized screams came from the building.
"Deathstroke??!
