[Comprehensive British and American] Gotham Mayor Simulator

It's raining in Gotham, and the city is always wet.

In the absence of Lincoln March, Professor Daisy finally met Charon, the ruler of the underground, and he was able to rule here because the "first ruler" had the power to control fire, and he happened to Being able to control water, he provoked them to fight, defeated them, collected all the slaves, and...hired a group of reliable mercenaries, and in order for the mercenaries to help, he made an agreement with them to provide at least three years of financial support.

There are diamonds in the ground.

The slaves cultivated a steady stream of diamonds, and Charon sold them to other cities through mercenary channels. Although he had to live underground, he knew how rich he was-everyone underground was his property.

In Charon's story, there is no court of owls, perhaps he erased it on purpose.

"Is there really someone who can control the power of fire and water?" The professor smiled at him, but the floating picture in front of him was the mayor searching for information about the underground, although in the eyes of ordinary people, Bone Town is just a city. Legend has it that there are no secrets in the Owl Court, and now Winston has the right to look through all the documents hidden in the court.

While Daisy was stalling for time, Winster, a former member of the court and now the head of the SWAT special forces, managed to find the scattered records of the past. He even found out that the incident at that time was even done by himself.

【"That happened two years ago. I sent a person into Arkham as required by the court. His identity was forged. According to the records, his code name is 'Dr. Phosphorus', and he lives underground." 】

Through the earpiece, Winster's voice was slightly distorted, and there was also the sound of howling wind.

Dr. Phosphorus is the leader of a certain tribe in the dungeon, a scientist, and in another accident—just like the Freeze Man—he did not die, but his body was burning with an inextinguishable flame, and he fell to the ground. Because of his supernatural powers, the underground people recognized him as the leader, so he might have killed the previous leader, which is reasonable.

And the strangest thing is that Dr. Phosphorus is still alive.

He's just crazy.

Now the people in the court are also crazy. No one can explain why Dr. Phosphus was not killed. The mayor found the file of Dr. Phosphorus. He has been receiving treatment, but he mentioned during the treatment that " "Underground", "tribe", etc. are all classified as crazy talk, and obviously the attending doctor has a somewhat unclear relationship with the court.

Under the rain, the City Hall was as bright as day.

The ground vibrated slightly in the calm, and the tanks of the special forces drove into the city one after another. At the same time, the people in the entire East District were moving out. Garden Lake is located in the northwest of Boulevard, at the edge of the lush forest , not far from Crime Alley.

—but Charon knew nothing.

The only people he really trusts are those who help him sell diamonds and who know the truth about the underground world. Even if the slave rebels who were driven to the ground saw how prosperous Gotham City is, they only have grief and indignation in their hearts. Chance to think about what lies Charon has told.

Therefore, as long as he finds an opportunity to distract his few confidants, Charon is equivalent to a blind man who imagines that he can be a king.

He sits in the ruins and calls himself emperor.

Nearly ten hours have passed... The last time Charon received news was that the hospital was set as a blockade. Obviously, those people were sent to the hospital after they fell ill, and then, his people did not send any news back .

He was talking with Professor Daisy, but his heart became more and more anxious.

Lincoln March is missing, why?He didn't need Lincoln, but Lincoln found him and asked him to serve the Owl Court. Given the power of the courtroom, he had to work for Lincoln.

But Lincoln is missing, who is Dess Diamond?Is it from the court?He knew the surname, but he didn't understand why the youngest daughter of a wealthy family got involved in the affairs of Gotham City, why Lincoln brought her here, and what was her role?what does she want

Charon doesn't know anything, he is like a child holding a nuclear bomb in his hand but being held up by a gun——

He knew that he had a "nuclear bomb" and a virus, but this was his only reliance. Was he going to detonate the nuclear bomb just because he was pointed at by a gun?

...why not detonate it?

Charon raised his eyes and silently looked at Dess Diamond in front of him by the light of the fire. If he was not the king of the underground, if he had no virus, this "Miss Diamond" would condescend to come to the underground and sit down. Will you stay with him for so long by beating around the bush to inquire about his purpose in front of him?

That crazy idea had been buried in his heart long ago... and Lincoln March's order was the last straw, he didn't want to work for the Court of Owls.

He didn't want to work for anyone.

He has been the king of the underground for so long, and he has long wanted to be the king of the earth.

grateful……

"Thanks for the virus made by the war-crazy leader," the black-haired woman rested her chin on one hand and looked in the direction of the slave, "and he had no chance to use it, so you got it, didn't you?"

Charon froze for a moment.

Dess Diamond stood up: "Okay, my people have found the leader of the War Crazy Tribe, and there is no need for me to waste time with you."

"What... Impossible!" Charon's beard was dirty and long, and his eyes were dark green, as if burning with will-o'-the-wisps all the time, "He has long been..."

That guy was thrown into the magma pool long ago, he saw it with his own eyes!

But under Daisy's calm gaze, Charon was uncertain again, and he searched his memory in amazement: Is there really such a thing?Has it really entered the magma pool, and there are no bones left?Could it be suspended animation?Yes, I didn't see the body at all, how can I be sure that he is really dead?

In the end, all he could say was one sentence: "You are underground, and you want to leave?"

The dark-haired woman seemed to smile, and said, "Is your man back?"

"You want slaves to catch me? Then I don't mind killing them all."

Speaking of killing, her tone was light and light, easier than strangling a cat or dog. Charon pointed at her with the tip of the wooden stick, hesitated for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Are you lying to me?"

He desperately confirmed his thoughts repeatedly, recalling every moment he talked with Dess Diamond, and then said: "You appeared after the virus broke out, and Lincoln March disappeared... Lincoln March, yes, he He also got the virus, his identity is very important, right? The court can give up everyone, but can't just give up on him?"

And he probably got sick earlier than everyone else. Charon's slaves came to the ground, and Lincoln March would definitely check them, but he still thought of many unreasonable things in his mind. Although the woman in front of him could stand, But her complexion is pale, her body is obviously weak, she gets sick very easily, and she doesn't look like she can beat dozens of them by herself. What does she have to rely on to get out of her body?Isn't she afraid of death?

At this time, the woman saw him lost in thought, and didn't answer yes or no, but was curious about whether he dared to rush up to bite her or bluff, like seeing a puppy barking at her by the side of the road, regardless of whether the former or In the latter case, she did not treat him as someone who could be treated as an equal.

This made Charon's heart angrier, and then calmer. He had lived underground for too long, and at this moment he suddenly realized...he actually returned to Gotham City in fear and fear.

——Because Gotham City doesn't have a place for the King of Gotham City.

Did the court really catch the war idiot?Then they will be able to make an antidote soon, because this is indeed a "purification medicine" made by the leader of the war madman. The lunatic thinks that people on the ground need to be purified. It may take a while for the court to get him, but with Lincoln March The physique must be able to last for a long time.

By then, by then, Charon will be of little use.

"No, you don't understand," the brunette smiled, straightening her monocle, "Gotham City already has the Court of Owls, if there are other forces that want to reform the city, don't wait... oh, bat The court will settle it first, Lincoln March is not important, we can always put in a replacement, the city is what matters, she is Gotham only when she belongs to the owls."

And what Charon wants to do is not to occupy Gotham City, he wants to destroy Gotham City.

"I lied to you." The woman chuckled suddenly, and her movements were faster than her voice. She stepped forward, clamped Charon's neck with one hand, and pressed him to the ground. Trembling under his own strength, Charon was frightened and angry, but he didn't dare to resist, and he missed this opportunity in the next second.

The slaves were surprised and at a loss. They wanted to come over and separate the two, but they didn't know how to do it when Charon was in the hands of a woman.

The professor lowered his body and said to his subordinates: "There is nothing that cannot be traded, as long as you give enough benefits, the same is true for Gotham City, but you are not even qualified to be on the poker table, and you want to overthrow everyone!" Why can’t they be chased and beaten like wild dogs?”

Charon coughed twice.

He was surprised to find that the woman had no strength, and he could still talk, but he didn't know whether to resist—

Clearly there is only Daisy in front of him, but he suspects that there are claw assassins hiding in every place of the cave. As long as he makes a move, as long as others do, he will be torn in half by the assassin who fell from the sky—otherwise Daisy will be killed. Why is Diamond so arrogant?How could she have no support?How dare she have no support?

He was frightened and angry, but also docile like a dog.

The timid and proud man murmured: "You can't come up with an antidote."

No, they can, they have sick people on their hands.

However, Daisy kicked him lightly - this strength does not mean tenderness, but it seems that this young lady does not want to hurt her feet - she walked around as if she saw something dirty on the side of the road He looked at other people casually, and then she whispered: "The East District has been completely evacuated."

As if talking to himself.

Dess Diamond, just walked into the ground alone, and then walked out alone.

No one dared to stop her.

After Daisy walked away, Charon pondered her words over and over again, and stood up abruptly.

He didn't know about the magma pool, and he didn't know that the pillars in the magma pool were unstable, which could easily cause the fall of the island city of Gotham City-Lincoln March didn't think it was necessary to discuss this card with him.

"The East End is evacuated," he murmured, "and us underground rats..."

Just kill them all.

He was in doubt.

But there are 12 people underground!

12 people...

At this moment, his subordinates finally got in touch with him, and then Charon knew that the entire East District was blocked, and if he let the people from the underground go up to attack the blockade, the mayor ordered to immediately "arm the terrorists" Killing by identity - it would be impossible for the former mayor, or anyone else, to do this, but the current mayor's reputation in the East District is really too strong. Could it be that she has long been aware of the underground problems in the East District? ?Once Charon starts to doubt, he feels that everything around him is suspicious, and the court has been guarding against him?

No!

He needs to check out the lab!

The conversation of the brunette woman is not difficult to understand. If he handed over the antidote now, he still has the capital to negotiate conditions, but if the other party researches the antidote, all of them will have only one dead word. .

And Charon doesn't have 12 copies of the antidote in his hands!

He only prepared a few dozen, for himself and his subordinates... In his eyes, there are already invisible viruses floating on the ground, no matter what he decides, he has to bring the antidote and formula.

After Charon ended the communication, Jason pressed the voice changer, took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision, and said to the other side: "Penny One, locate Charon's position."

"Moving towards twelve o'clock, Master Jason," Alfred took a sip of tea, "Welcome back, I'm glad you can help."

Jason patted his forehead and said weakly, "...Call me Red Hood."

When a disaster strikes, no one can turn a blind eye to it. Although there is no such thing as a large-scale virus infection, the 12 people underground are still a ticking time bomb. The mayor of Gotham City summoned all the vigilantes who stayed in Gotham City, In other words, the disappearance of Batman brought them together on their own initiative.

Jason knew a little more about the truth than the others, and he especially wanted to find Batman right now, and... Vivi.

Did the old man start to be stupid when he got older?

The disappearance of the few of them together was obviously the result of a mysterious force, but what made Jason feel weird and angry was——

"What is Robin doing?" He murmured while driving, "This time difference...that girl doesn't trust Robin?"

No, or rather, that girl doesn't trust anyone, even if they fight side by side.

When she learned of an imminent danger from a certain source, her first choice was definitely not to discuss with the vigilantes, but to exchange information with her own people, such as the mayor of Gotham City who seemed completely unsurprised by the current situation.

She habitually treats everyone as a tool, no, not to that extent, Jason has never seen her practice before, so he can look at her from a more fair perspective: "...she is used to fair dealing? "

After each transaction, when she gets along with other people and asks them to do things, it is a new transaction. She feels that she cannot let others do things for her without relying on interests and tricks.

What is inexplicable?

Could it be that after their transaction is completed, Weiwei will clear the favorability again?Is she some kind of robot that can precisely adjust favorability?

"...No." There are still different people, such as Millie, the violin, the mayor... Weiwei's attitude towards them is different from the "usage method", because they are people who "belong" to Mr. C , is one of our own.

Jason saw Barbara fall on the roof, then quickly turned over and kicked a criminal who was trying to take advantage of the chaos to rob. The two looked at each other, and Barbara made a gesture.

--"down".

Jason nodded, the motorcycle turned in a different direction, he had to meet up with William.

However, as he drove by, the streets were full of people in a hurry. Although the martial law was imminent and no news of the epidemic was reported, in order to win the trust of Charon, the mayor ordered the blockade of the entire street and even the entire district, and even sent troops and The tanks are on the street, but people can't get any definite news. People in the blockade area are forbidden to communicate with others, and they go directly to the signal blocker (provided by the penguin), if it is not because the mayor has saved up for months. The streets of Gotham City will not be the "slightly" messy ones that can be maintained by vigilantes and GCPD. People have already killed people in the streets, or just ran away!

In any case, they have to get the antidote according to the plan... This is the only way to solve the predicament and let everyone trapped leave!

... These "everyone" naturally include Batman!

……

Holding the rose in her hands, Weiwei went underground and left.

But standing at the fork in the road, she hesitated.

"The copy won't trap me," she said to Rose.

But Rose ignored her, instead of Rose’s veto, Weiwei realized that the dungeon might not be able to trap the player, because if the player feels uncomfortable, they can directly exit the game, or else send an email to the GM to indicate that they are trapped in the dungeon It’s gone, let them revert, after all, this is a stand-alone game, it belongs to her world only, if it’s not possible, she still has a way, she can draw cards—there will always be useful props, you can contact the gold card doctor to directly return the time ——But this skill probably can't be used much, and the opportunities are limited. It seems that she can directly make a wish on the rose to create an antidote, and she can ask for the formula if the antidote cannot be taken out.

But she used Daisy's words to force Charon, and used Winster's troops to cover her actions, but she still felt uneasy.

The world is silent.

[Fantasy Township] is quiet.

It's not because there is no sound, there are all kinds of voices here, if it is not for the limited map and the facial profiling of characters, what is the difference between this copy and Gotham City?

"For me...whether it's in the movie or Gotham City, it's not the real world..."

It's just a game, and a game within a game.

The difference is that Vivi doesn't have a map here, and in this world, she can't directly contact Millie, Violin, Shelk...etc. The big crisis would go away in no time, as before, but she felt nothing but defeat.

The diamonds were used up, and the cards were drawn. After the event, Weiwei did not save diamonds, but the diamonds naturally increased. The cards drawn included silver and gray iron, but there was no card that Weiwei needed most. Bronze card.

- Bronze card that turns anything into a card.

If she had the card, she would be able to turn the rose into a card and duplicate it with the copying magweave, but it wasn't there when she needed it most.

The mayor, the warden, and the professor are all working to save Gotham City. All their forces are devoted to appease the people, maintain law and order, and prevent accidents. All available forces have been used, and all collaborators who can contact Now, Weiwei suddenly had a weird idea at this time, if the Gotham City outside is a movie, and she is actually stepping on the land of the real Gotham City, now the movie outside is going to a climax step by step. Ushering in the happy finale, maybe she leaves the sewer now and walks into any movie theater on the side of the road, and she will find that it is playing now...

This thought came suddenly, she threw the body, the body sank into the water, opened her eyes and looked at her, the robe and hair were scattered together, bobbing and sinking on the water surface, and soon drifted along the current to a place she couldn't see place to go.

That's right... Weiwei has always done this, as long as she can't see it, she can pretend that the corpse doesn't exist.

She opened the collar, inserted the rose between the buttons, only the buds were exposed, and then her steps became faster and faster, and finally she ran.

She can see normally in the dark, she is familiar with every road under her feet, and knows where it will fork, just like she is familiar with Gotham City, she knows which way is the fastest and the least effort, even if she doesn't Will be exhausted, she wants to go back to the beginning of everything——

She's going back to City Hall.

Vivi is here, Ana Elek is out of this world, and who is the mayor in the movie?

……

Lincoln knocks out one of Nightwing's teeth.

It seemed to be a sign that their fight had stopped, at least Lincoln had stopped, because he recognized the tooth.

When selecting Talons, the Owl Court gives priority to certain circuses with a history of more than a hundred years. They will pick out suitable members of the circus to become Talons, and take them away from childhood brainwashing and training, and they will give these circuses a long time ago. Reserves make a mark.

Often it's teeth, and not baby teeth that fall out naturally.

Because amber gold is needed to make sharp claws and revive them, this tooth will also carry a little amber gold, so as to adapt to the feeling of amber gold flowing in the body in advance.

Nightwing was obviously a great choice for Talon - and he didn't become Talon, he became Nightwing.

"Ha..." Lincoln's injuries were slowly recovering in the rain, but he wanted to laugh out loud at this moment, "This is really... this is really..."

So funny!

As a member of the Wayne family, he became the killer claw, and as the chosen claw, the man in front of him became a vigilante.

Lincoln didn't let go of any opportunity to laugh at Batman and the people around Batman. Rather, Nightwing's identity was a surprise, and he would definitely announce it to the people in front of him. During the battle, he didn't think so immediately. Kill him, but let him know the truth of it all—

"You are destined to come to my side, you are the claw," Lincoln showed Yeyi his teeth, he was able to handle this battle between the undead and ordinary people with ease, "you have been picked a long time ago, guess what , does Batman know this?"

"That has nothing to do with you—" Under the shattered domino mask, Dick angrily gave the opponent a stick

"Really?" Lincoln turned his head away. "Is he really not showing anything unusual? That's Batman, isn't it? Nothing can hide from him!"

Dick's movements faltered slightly, and he remembered, remembering Batman's unnatural behavior when he went to South Hinckley earlier, when Bruce studied the female claw, why did he send him out later?

He was in a trance for a moment, Lincoln punched him in the stomach, and then the two smashed the wall of the office, broke through the rain of bullets against the steel iron plate-their movement had been discovered by the guards-and jumped over the high wall to escape up.

Lincoln spared Nightwing.

He felt that Nightwing was more useful alive than dead.

Unable to stay here for the time being, he decided to leave first and wait for a new round of "time regression".

After they left, the guards went to chase the escaped two, Nightwing went into the sewer to hide, Lincoln snatched a car, hit the enemy directly, and actually let him escape.

—Probably because he thought that the time in this world is circular, he became unscrupulous.

Ye Yi hissed, frowned and said, "He's a sharp claw... can I find a freezing gun here?"

If you can't find the Freeze Gun, the Immortal Talon is almost invincible in this world.

During the battle, neither he nor Lincoln saw the mayor's lady, but judging from the performance of the guards, the mayor's lady was obviously not attacked, and everything was fine under her command.

The light in the sewer was cloudy and dim. He leaned on the wall, and after breathing a little, he stood up and walked slowly towards the hospital.

He came one step earlier than Lincoln and hid directly on the chandelier. It didn't take long for Lincoln to come. According to Batman, the mayor has been ordering the isolation and blockade of people in the hospital. She may just not be in the office.

...That's right, there's no mayor who will stay in a small office forever, and it's not Rapunzel locked in a tall building.

The wind and rain spilled into the room recklessly. Before Mayor Anna appeared, the mayor's office in the city hall had a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling glass. There is no natural light, and sometimes the employees of the city hall feel that the lady mayor is like a shadow.

A shadow hidden in the office, she may not need to appear at all, but the changes in the whole city are all her handwriting, they don't need to see her, but they believe in her existence and the power she possesses.

Later, there were rumors about the mayor and the warden, and the whereabouts of the mayor also became erratic in the rumors. The rumors like a witch at first naturally disappeared quickly, and the mayor just didn’t appear in the office very often. , In fact, he always meets with his lover and his subordinates at any place in the city.

The guard reported the mayor on the phone and called the secretary to take away the important items. Then, the office, which was missing a wall, was simply cleaned up. Others devoted themselves to their work again. They had to continue patrolling and chasing Infiltrators, and with the movement of Lincoln, more and more personnel were sent.

When Weiwei walked into the office, the woolen blanket in the office was almost wet by the rain.

The crystal chandelier was almost broken into pieces, and it couldn't be cleaned for a while, so it had to be left like this.

There is no surveillance in this office.

She jumped in lightly and opened the cabinet.

The cabinet is empty, and it has been "mopped up" here. Weiwei remembers that the cabinet in reality is not so empty. It's like going back to the very beginning. When she first entered the game, she often stayed here Put the novels I took out from the study and bedroom, some of which are only half read, and there are still creases.

The important documents are actually in the secretary's office. This is a detail that only those who are familiar with her know. Later, they are all in the AI's records. The code composed of 1 and 0 is half as unbreakable as the game itself.

The door of the lounge opened and closed under the wind and rain, Weiwei glanced at it, and pushed the door of the study.

The study is locked.

She froze for a moment.

Her study is never locked...but, but sometimes...

Because she could not open more accounts before, for a long time, she never let the sweepers enter the study, so sometimes she would learn from other people's conversations that they suspected that there were some secret documents hidden in the study, so it was locked. of.

It is not locked, but it is just to prevent people from entering, so there are such rumors.

However, under the influence of some unknown force, the study in front of him seemed to be really locked.

"This city..." She raised her head, "The painter's painting can complete part of it, but this world is complete as if it exists in reality. What complements the other details?"

[Silver Scene: Fantasy Township]

[Players can use this card to turn a "scene" that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people during the event into "Fantasy Township". This card can be superimposed on any prop]

It had to be a "scene" that was deeply rooted during the event, and she chose a movie that everyone had seen.

When watching this movie introducing Gotham City, are people looking at the image in the movie, even if it is only a glimpse of the image, looking for their own home in the image, even if it is only a chimney in the distance?

Movie viewers see the chimney, and they have already completed what is under the chimney in their minds, a house, how many people are in the house, their jobs, their personalities...then the neighbors, and the big dog raised at home, as long as If there are enough people who have seen the movie, they will complete enough pictures, and when the world becomes real, then apart from the characters designed in the movie, other characters will be more real than the designed characters... .

Because that is the reflection of reality.

Theoretically, the way this world is displayed is related to the "viewer", and the cognitive set of the viewer will become this world.

"But it's just a theory..." Weiwei touched the buds, the roses were still as bright as blood, and she thought, "Now I have a chance to test the theory."

No one knows what's in the mayor's study except the mayor himself.

And the "mayor" is a character that does not exist in the movie, it is just a background board that has not been mentioned at all, so there is no special design of the plot.

Weiwei took a deep breath and kicked towards the wooden door.

The heavy wooden door was slammed open——

A girl was lying on her back on the seat. She was wearing a white robe and her body was clean. From this angle, the back of her shriveled head could not be seen, but Weiwei walked over, stretched out her hand, and hugged the girl on her chest. Before, she touched the depression on the back of the opponent's head. It was a wound caused by a bullet, and it would kill him with one blow.

This is a corpse,

She closed the door and closed her eyes.

She might... get the best of both worlds without using roses.

"There is no underground city here because people who know about the dungeon didn't go to see that movie during the event..."

They didn't even have a chance to leave the dungeon, and of course Charon wouldn't go to see it, and neither would a few owls who knew the inside story, but they have missed it during the event, so in this world, there is no dungeon at all, Even if there are rumors, but the mayor's study is locked, at least some people have seen the door of the study. There is an underground Old Gotham City in the rumors. No one has been to that underground city, so how can they imagine it out of thin air?

"But here, in this infinitely looping city, it's not yet Children's Day."

Weiwei remembers the "setting" of the movie. In fact, the timeline in the movie is parallel to the timeline in reality. This day is June [-]rd in reality, because this is the movie made for Children's Day , So, in theory, as long as you watch that movie in this world, the details of Gensokyo will be supplemented with the cognition of the viewer.

"...Those rebels don't necessarily know what Charon's laboratory is like, because they are just people who were pushed out to die."

There was a copy of the archived video in her space package, but Weiwei didn't play it immediately, but took out the computer and put it aside, then lost her mind and contacted Jason and William.

At this time, William was in the magma pool, and Jason had already sneaked into the ground. Previously, Vivi only needed to confirm the location of Charon, but now it happened that she needed Jason's eyes.

In the very beginning, Weiwei was actually ready to kill 12 people underground to save 700 million people on the ground. Twelve to seven hundred, anyone can do this calculation problem, but no one can make a decision When it was time, it was her responsibility to kill them.

If Charon is allowed to control these 12 ignorant people to come to the ground of Gotham City, this is irresponsible to those Gotham citizens. 12 is not twelve, even if only 1 people are causing chaos in the city, she You can quit the game and restart!

Therefore, if you want to kill people, you must be fast, ruthless, and accurate, so that they have no time to act, so that they cannot react, and the number of infected people must be reduced to a minimum.

Even though most of them are innocent, just being lied to.

She needed the world that Jason could see with his eyes, so she contacted Jason with the Vest and asked him——

Would you like to...

Jason confirmed Charon's position, and only followed him from a distance. According to their plan, this guy's mind is not firm, so it's not difficult to deal with him.

At this moment, there was a "sizzling" sound from his earphones, and Jason's heart shuddered. He realized that someone had hacked into the line, and the other party seemed very familiar.

The mayor's AI greeted him, and then, it was Dess, that Dess Diamond, who whispered, "Just let me tell you, Jason Todd, you're willing to give your all. To Mr. C? Your everything, with all your heart."

Subconsciously, Jason wanted to take off his earphones, but he heard the second half of the sentence.

"...For Gotham City."

"The real crisis is far more than what you see."
