Chapter 3736

Schiller found more information about this experiment in the archive, and then he learned: 15 years ago, around the time Batman was defeated by Azrael, a riot occurred at Arkham Asylum, and countless madmen and criminals escaped, the most famous of which was of course Batman's nemesis—Joker.

Although the experimental data didn't record in detail how Joker was captured, it is known that it didn't take Azrael much time to capture this group of criminals. Almost all super criminals were extracted genes 15 years ago, and Joker was one of the first few.

According to the "Batman-Joker Law," if Batman can't beat Azrael, then his Joker is destined not to be too strong, and it is understandable that he was captured by Azrael. After Azrael captured them, he didn't lock them up with Batman, but remodeled the original Arkham Asylum and placed this group of super criminal experimental subjects in the laboratory under Arkham Asylum.

To find Joker, Schiller must go to the original Arkham Asylum. Although the bosses of the two forces in the city are dead, their minions are still patrolling diligently, and it is not easy to cross half the city.

The first thing he has to solve is the field of view problem, which is also the reason he brought Arrogance and Greed up. The previous state of severe injury did allow him to discover Lady Shiva immediately, which proved that this move was effective. But because the pain was too intense in the state of severe injury, it was not suitable for daily activities, so he had to find a compromise state that could move freely and have field of view assistance.

Schiller found an introduction to the solution in the jar in the room where Lady Shiva was before in many materials. It is better to say that the solution in the jar is not a gene culture dish, but a kind of artificial blood, used for blood transfusion for Batman.

Different blood has different effects, which can allow Batman to possess different abilities. But judging from the experimental log, Batman is not adapted to this kind of blood transfusion, and most of the solutions injected into his body make him feel pain, so that he cannot use his abilities well, so the experiment has not been successful so far.

But Schiller didn't want any special abilities anyway, he needed stable and controllable pain that wouldn't affect daily activities, and injecting solution was his best choice.

But there is also a lecture on which solution to inject, and it would be bad if he really caused any mutations, and Joker's kind that affects the mind should stay away. Finally, Schiller set his sights on Bane's solution.

Bane's special ability actually comes from a steroid drug called "GL11," and his blood should also contain this component, which makes him abnormally strong and powerful. However, the disadvantage is that it must be injected once every 12 hours, otherwise, not only will he lose this strength, but he will also become very weak.

Judging from the experimental records, Batman showed obvious pain after injecting this drug, but didn't have the very strong figure like Bane, only a slight increase in strength, and also needed to inject the drug once every 12 hours. The nerve pain he felt during the drug's action was of little help to Batman, and the side effects were very large, so the experiment was naturally counted as a failure.

But this is quite good for Schiller. Further improvement in strength is just icing on the cake, and the nerve pain that can be stably maintained for 12 hours is the real enhancement for him. As for hitting a shot every 12 hours, it's not a problem, one injection is less than 10 milliliters, and the medicine in that jar is enough for him to hit until the end of time.

Schiller bypassed the patrol team and returned to the room, and found quite a few syringes on the experimental table that Lady Shiva was facing. He first took some liquid from the solution jar representing Bane with a beaker, and then filled 10 syringes.

There is no doubt that this has a certain danger, because he is not Batman after all, and his physique is different from Batman's, and the reaction to the injection may not be the same. But the danger of walking in the dark city is obviously greater, so Schiller almost didn't hesitate and pushed the solution in the first syringe into his vein.

About three seconds later, the solution began to take effect. The first thing he felt was a kind of inexplicable pain. Schiller could clearly feel the pain brought by the friction of his joints, the collision of his internal organs, and the movement of his muscles. It was not very intense, but because the range of pain was too wide, it made people feel unbearable.

Schiller realized that this solution should be inhibiting the brain from secreting certain dopamine that immunizes pain, a bit like the pain felt by addicts when they undergo drug withdrawal. It sounds like some kind of hallucination to escape reality, but it is actually real pain.

The human body itself produces pain when moving, but a certain substance secreted by the brain immunizes this pain. And drugs will destroy this secretion mechanism, reduce this secretion, so people who withdraw from drug addiction will feel the pain from the movement of their own organs every second. This kind of pain makes life worse than death, which is why drug addiction is difficult to quit.

But this kind of pain is just right for Schiller, not the kind of sharp and intense pain that makes people faint after one hit, but a long-lasting, continuous, moderate pain, just enough for him to open hallucination vision without affecting normal activities.

As for the increase in strength, Schiller didn't feel much. In this state, his strength was already very large, and it didn't need to be increased. Schiller felt that there might be an improvement in endurance, but it couldn't be verified for the time being.

Putting the medicine in the inner pocket of his coat, with the hallucination vision, Schiller very smoothly bypassed all patrol personnel and returned to the ground.

But the ground had completely changed now.

As soon as Schiller came out, he heard an explosion. He was very familiar with the explosion sound of modern thermal weapons. He looked in the direction of the explosion and sure enough saw fire and thick smoke, as well as many charred corpses of cult members.

This was clearly not done by the League of Assassins. Schiller suspected it might be the resistance led by Tone before. They had quite a few people and had been lurking in the shadows. Then what made them suddenly show up and use thermal weapons that hadn't appeared at all before?

Just thinking of this, Schiller heard a sharp whistling sound overhead. He instinctively hid in the cathedral building, and then saw a fighter jet of unknown model roar past, dropping several packages into the city.

"There's even an airdrop?" Schiller thought of what Arrogance said before, the mastermind pursues a kind of hypocritical fairness. The previous Batman and Robin didn't use thermal weapons, so the enemies in the city didn't use them either. And now that Schiller had a gun, the enemies could naturally use thermal weapons.

But the weapon they used was not any small pistol. Judging from the explosion sound just now, there should be military bombs in these airdrop supplies, so it is very likely that there are other standard military weapons, and there might even be automatic weapons.

The nearest airdrop was about 800 meters away from Schiller in a straight line, but the route in the city was complicated. If he wanted to go around, it would probably take about 1.5 kilometers. Compared to the military bombs and automatic weapons that might exist, this distance was not far, but Schiller had no intention of going at all.

This was clearly also a means for the mastermind to consume him. If there were no accidents, there would be at least a dozen side missions on the short 1.5-kilometer road to find the airdrop, the kind where you couldn't get mission rewards if you didn't finish them, so he wouldn't waste time.

The power of bombs and automatic weapons was indeed great, but it actually had no effect on his mission goal, because he didn't intend to kill his way through at all. Opening hallucination vision was just to avoid patrols. If he was going to fight head-on, wouldn't it be the same whether he could see or not?

Schiller still miscalculated the weather in this city. It was not that there was no day and night change. The previous dark and foggy light state was even daytime, and now, Cat Getan had entered the night.

"Rare good news," Schiller thought. In the short hundred meters he just walked out, he brushed past two patrol squads. He could rely on hallucination vision to avoid them, but the other party was blind in this extremely bad field of view condition, simply becoming wide-eyed blind. Unless another guy with nano-equipment came, it was not worth worrying about at all.

Schiller first climbed onto a building to identify the direction. The materials in the archive didn't point out the specific address of Arkham Asylum. Even if there were, after 15 years of turmoil, various place names and road signs were long gone, and finding the asylum still had to rely on himself.

Before this, Schiller first went to the nearby municipal building, which was where he killed Azrael, Batman, and Tone. Returning to that balcony again, he looked inside: Azrael's body was still lying there properly, but Batman's head and Tone's body were gone.

Just taking a look, Schiller didn't do much investigation. He searched in the municipal building and finally found a map of Cat Getan in a place like an archive. Although it was 15 years ago, he could roughly distinguish that Arkham Asylum was north of the cathedral, relatively far away, and it would take about three hours to walk, and if he had to avoid patrol personnel, it might take longer.

Schiller didn't stay and set off in this direction as quickly as possible, because he had a premonition: if Broken Bat really didn't die, he might also go to find Joker.

After entering the night, Cat Getan was as dark as a lump of thick ink, without any moonlight or lights, whether indoors or outdoors, it was purely pitch black. Standing in the city, people were simply like being blind. And because of the existence of fog, the light range of the torches in the hands of the cult members was also very small, at most only illuminating a small piece of ground in front of them.

People without night vision goggles were like wide-eyed blind here, but Schiller seemed to have opened the full map perspective. He could see others, but others couldn't see him, so when he arrived at the predetermined location, it was an hour faster than expected.

This very ancient building of Arkham Asylum, after years of no maintenance, became even more dilapidated, and it seemed to be only one step away from collapse. In the dark night, the windows were like the openings of some unspeakable things peeking into the real world.

Schiller stood in front of the gate of Arkham Asylum and heard rustling sounds coming from inside. He turned his head to look at the traces on the stone bricks at the door, understanding that he was one step late.
