Chapter 3282: Bloodshed in the New City (42)
Now this matter is no longer a matter in the perverted circle of the upper class.
No one has any opinion on how you play privately; anyway, no one treats people at the bottom as people, and no one cares how many die.
But you can't mess around and mess with us. Sitting at home, bad news comes from the sky. You haven't done anything, and you have to suddenly face the strong rise of competitors.
Those who didn't bet naturally complained, you said you were idle and had nothing to do, why did you do this kind of fundraising? Are you satisfied with raising a new giant?
But they complained, and naturally they also wanted this sum of money to fall into their own hands. Even if they didn't play those traps, more or less someone would choose to bet a sum to gamble on luck.
The group of people who bet later just wanted to pursue interests, not wanting to enjoy stimulation like the previous batch of people. They were much calmer than that batch. In order to win money, naturally, all kinds of professional means were used.
Of course, some people tried to invade Arkham Asylum. But although this child, Gray Mist, couldn't do physical labor, he was professional at scaring people. It belonged to the old profession of the Outer Gods. Just a slight move could scare the invaders away.
The bettors naturally also understood that this new warden had some stuff. It was not wise to fight head-on; on the one hand, they couldn't beat him, and on the other hand, if he moved his hands and feet, wouldn't they lose their pants?
But not being able to fight head-on, and not wanting to over-pay-to-win, doesn't mean you can't take some special means.
As everyone knows, gambling is actually a probability problem. In the case of the dealer not moving hands and feet, you can completely use mathematics to deduce the result. Someone has done this before, and the accuracy is quite high, and it is not considered cheating.
Even if it's not a mathematics major, when playing card games, knowing how to count cards also has a huge advantage. If you can understand the opponent's thinking, it is easier to win.
So, in order to get this money, this group of people started to think of some methods in this regard.
First, of course, is to get the most detailed information on each super-criminal, so that they can comprehensively analyze who is more likely to win.
Then the question comes, who has this information?
You say this isn't a coincidence? In Cat Getan City, there happens to be a super-hero who has had a long-term struggle with these super-criminals—Batman.
Batman's database has the most complete analysis of super-criminals. This is something the upper class knows.
But Batman was stunned when he received the call asking him to provide this information.
Batman naturally had to ask what they were buying this information for. But this group of people also had some understanding of Batman, knowing he was a stubborn person, so naturally, it was impossible to tell him directly: "We are planning to go gambling." That was too easy to be caught by the handle.
This group of people just insisted that we are going to fight crime. Although you have been fighting crime, you can't stop others from fighting crime.
Batman naturally didn't want to give it. He regarded information as more important than his life, and even if it was information about super-criminals, he certainly couldn't give it to others casually.
Finding that this didn't work, this group of people naturally started to play bad water. They sued Batman.
Batman almost laughed at himself when he received the court summons.
This group of people accused him of not publishing the detailed information of super-criminals, which is not willing to contribute to public safety, and demanded the immediate introduction of the Super-Criminal Registration Act—real-name crime, everyone is responsible.
But it was a coincidence again; this happened to poke Gordon's itch. Real-name system is good, isn't it easier to catch people after real-name system? Although only super-criminals are real-name, who is a super-criminal is still up to me to say.
Batman naturally didn't be polite, starting from the right to privacy, and debated with the Confucians in court. The jury was speechless by what he said.
But it was a coincidence again and again; the Pale Knight happened to be the type who didn't pay attention to the human rights of criminals. Otherwise, he wouldn't have smashed Clayface and fed it to others to drink.
Pale Knight vs. Batman 2.0 appeared on the stage. The two people who had just reconciled for a long time started to go to court again.
Batman's ability to persuade others is powerful, and the Pale Knight is not bad either. And the bottom-level people who support him actually support the real-name system.
If it were before, it might not be like this, but since the GTO was established, the efficiency of catching people has greatly increased. Basically, as long as you dare to destroy, I dare to catch. If the real-name system can be implemented to leave a criminal record, the efficiency will be higher, and the security will be better.
This time, Cat Getan's upper class actually rarely stood with the bottom-level people, together supporting the Pale Knight, forcing Batman to hand over the detailed information of super-criminals.
Batman had no supporters here, because the super-criminals who should have supported him were now locked in Arkham Asylum. Schiller repaired the emergency restriction measures, the game hadn't started, and they couldn't come out at all. Others couldn't get in either, so their support was invalid.
What made things worse was that Penguin, who had successfully become a councilor, exerted his strength. A big discussion about the human rights of super-criminals was launched in the state legislature.
Penguin was righteous and stern, claiming that this group of people greatly endangered the safety of the bottom-level people, and they should have been shot directly. It was precisely because of considering their human rights that the way to punish them was changed to publishing their information. This is to increase the cost of crime, and also to allow the public to be more vigilant.
Of course, he also proposed that for those who only committed one or two times, they could be let go, but for those super-criminals who had committed ten or eight times and were hopeless, they must strike hard, and when caught, take off their hoods and play their information on the prime-time news in turn.
At first, Superman didn't support the real-name system either, but after Penguin said so, he felt it made some sense.
After all, it is aimed at the kind of criminals who are caught every day and commit crimes every day. Superman also knows that this group of people is hopeless, and even if they are locked up, they have to run out. Even if he is Superman, he might not be able to manage everything. It is better to publish all kinds of information, let ordinary people improve their vigilance, and walk around when they see it.
Now Batman is isolated and helpless.
However, he also found out that the elite individuals changed their previous attitude and suddenly cared so much about super-criminals, which was for the gambling game, not that they really changed their nature.
This instead made Batman breathe a sigh of relief.
Taking advantage of this period of time, Schiller had already set up the traps invested and arranged in Arkham Asylum.
At this time, the prize pool had accumulated to an astonishing amount. Batman would be shaken for at least ten seconds after seeing it, and Gordon might be shocked on the spot.
Batman finally compromised, but his requirement was not to engage in any bullshit registration act; he could publish this information privately.
However, he still had reservations, just enough to be useful for the elite individuals to analyze the winning rate, but not enough to be completely exposed.
But after giving it, he started to feel heartache for that money. If he had known he had to give it, he might as well have sold it.
With information and research on the winning rate, the upper class was still not satisfied. Essentially, they didn't want to participate in the gambling game at all, but wanted to manipulate the gambling game.
So far, there are not many people who can directly contact the gambling game. Schiller is the closest one, but he is relatively difficult to deal with.
On the one hand, he stays in Arkham Asylum and doesn't come out, and that place is managed by him like an iron bucket, and others can't get in. On the other hand, he is likely a person of the Pale Knight. As long as the Pale Knight is still the mayor, the upper class cannot directly tear their faces with him.
Besides Schiller, there is another person, and that is Fiers, who is currently managing the casino.
Very unexpectedly, Fiers was invited to drink coffee. The content of the conversation was nothing more than letting him find a way to interfere with the gambling game, so that some people who bet could win.
Fiers actually hadn't had Schiller's news for a long time. He himself was not a very smart person and didn't know how to deal with others in this situation.
Plus, many people threw a lot of sugar-coated bullets at him, promised a lot of benefits, and praised him for being a genius, so he could think of such a powerful gambling game. Being praised, he floated.
He completely forgot whose idea this was, and only felt that he really had the ability to manipulate the gambling game, patted his chest loudly, and guaranteed to do it whoever asked.
People in the upper class were not as stupid as him; they knew at a glance that this person couldn't do things, but it was just a chance to enter the casino through him.
You know, the money for the bet is all entering the casino.
That's right, this group of people suddenly discovered that participating in the gambling game is not as good as robbing a house.
As long as the money bet disappears inexplicably, the one who takes the blame will only be Fiers and that Rodriguez. Anyway, this matter was created by the two of them, so it's not wronging them.
The wealthy people were not shooting without a target. From the beginning of the matter, they had people watching the casino. All gambling funds were in but not out. Even the sewers were watched, and no one was seen transporting the money away. Then the money must be in the casino.
They didn't know that Schiller had a Gray Mist that could swallow everything, only thinking that there was no transport trace, so the money should still be there. So they tried every means to find people to run into the casino.
Although the casino is not as difficult as Arkham Asylum, it is not something that anyone can enter. After looking for a long time, they found Catwoman.
Catwoman is not like Batman, who doesn't want money delivered to her door. She is the type who doesn't refuse anyone, eating a lot. The money earned this time is enough for her to be carefree in Hawaii for the rest of her life.
But entering is entering, and indeed she didn't find the money. The others sent by the wealthy people also reached this conclusion, speculating that it was highly likely that Schiller had some other way to transport the money away.
The wealthy people were not discouraged; there are many ways in the world, this one doesn't work, there are others.
Isn't Schiller a person of the Pale Knight? Then find the Pale Knight. As long as the hoe is danced well, there is no corner that cannot be dug.
You just say what you want, braised saber-toothed tiger or red-braised mammoth, as long as there is money, there is nothing we can't get.
However, where is the Pale Knight now? He is in Wei En Manor. Although he had a quarrel with Batman in court, he really had nowhere else to go, so the two of them just had to make do.
The wealthy people looked at this, and one stone in the pit was not enough, and a titanium alloy protective cover had to be added on top.
The corrupt thoughts we spread to the Pale Knight were all eaten by you, kid!
Perhaps it was Batman blowing pillow talk every day that blew the Pale Knight to be so righteous and kind. Otherwise, a small-town boy, a poor bottom-level person, where did he get such great willpower to withstand temptation?
Without Batman, maybe the mayor would be a little easier to talk to?
Then why would the Pale Knight be in Wei En Manor?
Of course, it's because the city government closed down.
Then why did the city government close down?
Of course, it's because there is no money.
Isn't it just money? Give it! Don't want it, it's not allowed. As long as the Pale Knight moves out of Wei En Manor immediately, municipal funds will arrive immediately.
And the municipal building, it's fine if it's moved out, aren't there plenty of buildings? Immediately vacate a river-view building in the golden CBD position, set the mayor's office on the top floor, overlook Cat Getan, and enjoy life.
The Pale Knight hadn't reacted yet, and was packed and thrown into a luxurious modern flat by people, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a height of 12 meters, full of question marks. ===== CHAPTER 3283 =====
Then why would City Hall go out of business?
Of course, because there's no money.
Isn't it just money? Take it! Even if you don't want it, you have to. As long as the Pale Knight moves out of Wei En Manor right now, immediately, municipal funds will be in place at once.
And the municipal building, it's fine if it's emptied out; aren't there plenty of other buildings? Immediately vacate a river-view building in the golden CBD location, set the Mayor's office on the top floor, overlook Cat Getan, and enjoy life to the fullest.
The Pale Knight hadn't even reacted yet before he was packed up, luggage and all, and thrown into a luxurious, modern, large flat. He stood in front of the twelve-meter-high floor-to-ceiling windows, his head full of question marks.
