"How could you allow the Bureau of Investigation to come into Gotham? You must know what the federation is planning, right?"
A slightly sarcastic voice sounded in the office on the top floor of the city government.
Edward Winston, the psychiatrist who was reluctantly let go by Gordon, was stroking the flower pots by the wall while speaking to Mayor Molly Weston, who was sitting in an office chair facing the bookcase.
After hearing his words, Mayor Molly frowned and turned to look at him unhappily.
"Edward, is this the tone you use when talking to your father?"
"Oh? Didn't you always deny that you are my father? Why are you acting like a father again now?"
Edward was not scared by Molly and still looked carefree.
"It's all because of what you did before. I've cleaned up so many messes for you, and now you can't even say a few words to you?"
"Okay, okay, haven't I changed my ways? Which of the things you asked me to do I haven't completed? If it weren't for my psychological counseling, those citizens would be so honest now? I have a lot of credit, right?"
Edward walked to Molly with a smile, holding the back of his chair and looking at him. A series of questions made Molly unable to refute.
"Since you have no objection, then you should answer my question, right? What is the purpose of those people from the Bureau of Investigation? Who contacted them?"
Molly took the opportunity to get off the hook and revealed the conversation just now.
"The Bureau of Investigation is an independent agency. Only a few people above know what's going on inside. I was also notified of this matter suddenly. The Federation has not taken any action before. I'm afraid that they are coming to Gotham for those unknown people."
Molly was also having a headache.
Gotham had been peaceful for several years under his governance. With this political capital, he could occupy a seat in the Federation and leave this remote place in a while.
But now one thing after another is happening, and his past governance achievements are almost gone.
"By the way, there is one more thing, about the patient you were in charge of before."
Edward's smiling face paused, and his tone was a little strange.
"Patient? Who do you mean?"
"Of course it's the one who went crazy these two days and escaped from Arkham. I remember the intelligent computer assigned him to you."
"Ah, of course I remember, what happened to him?"
Edward has of course been paying attention to the other party's actions. This is the first time he is so curious about a person.
As a psychologist, he has seen all kinds of people and thinks he has a deep understanding of human psychology, but whether it is a criminal or a civilian, he has never seen such a person who fascinates him.
Unable to spy, unable to understand, only freedom to do whatever you want without any rules.
To Edward, Xie Qi was like a mystery. The more he explored, the more he was infected by his reckless madness. He wanted to see what the world looked like to him.
He had kept the news report at home, especially the photo of him standing on the rooftop and throwing banknotes down.
When he first saw the photo, Edward was so fascinated that he didn't even hear the newsstand owner asking him to pay.
The citizens below were like believers following the messenger of God, with their eyes fanatically raised and their hands raised, offering their faith to the person who brought them wealth.
"This time, the group of people who came with the special agent of the Bureau of Investigation took him away under Gordon's nose. On the surface, they said they would accept the investigation of him, but judging from their attitude, it seems that it is not that simple."
Molly crossed his hands on his nose and looked directly at his son.
"According to the news from the intelligent computer, the other party has bought the Moore Building in the city center and has already moved in. I plan to let you contact them."
"Let me go? What reason? If I just go to their door, I'm afraid they won't even let me in, right?"
Edward asked curiously.
"I will ask the Ministry of External Affairs to issue you a pass and let you be responsible for communicating with them. I guess they are not from the Bureau of Investigation. Gotham is not a place where you can come and go at will. They must report the purpose of coming here and the time of leaving. You have the best eyesight, and you have had contact with that person. This matter must be you."
Hearing that his father had already made up his mind to let him go, Edward did not refuse.
This is a perfect opportunity for him to appear in front of Ivan naturally.
Molly did not notice Edward's little thoughts, thinking that his silence was resistance, so he continued to persuade him: "I know you don't like these things, but this is also for your own good. You have been working as a psychologist for a long time, although it is stable, but there is noUpward channel, gradually get in touch with some government affairs now, it will be good for you to move up in the future. "
Edward listened to his father talking about things that were good for him from his perspective, without refuting, just listening with a smile.
"By the way, I heard that those superpowers are out again. Are there criminals again?"
Molly, who was originally satisfied with Edward's obedience, suddenly felt depressed again.
"Gordon, this old guy, never takes my words to heart. He said not to let that group of people come out, but he turned his head and forgot it behind his head."
He didn't mention that because of the appearance of that group of criminals, the intelligent brain and the police officers could not control it, which led to the dispatch of super heroes. Molly just felt that his authority was challenged.
"That is a group of alternative criminals who ignored the law and the government and only cared about showing off their heroic complex. How much damage did they cause to Gotham? Gordon is also an old fool and still thinks that only they can save Gotham. At this point, it is still under the governance of me and the intelligent brain that Gotham can have such a peaceful life. "
Listening to his father's endless chatter, it was obvious that he had been holding it in for a long time.
Edward did not make any comments on this. Although he also disdained those superheroes in his heart, he did not think that the current situation where everything was controlled by the intelligent brain was more suitable for Gotham.
Everything now was like a mirror flower and a moon in the water. It looked bright and beautiful on the outside, but if you look deeper, you will only feel that the flowers were covered with bloody bones, and the numerous sins were covered underneath, forming a twisted and harmonious Gotham.
As a beneficiary of this system, Edward should have jumped into it and tried to maintain it all.
But his heart has been clamoring to break the shackles, destroy everything he saw, and rebuild a brand new world.
What this new world looks like, he has not thought about it yet, and this is also a subject that entangles his entire life.
It's different now, his heart tells him.
The answer may be found soon.
