"What exactly do you want to do?"
Arkham Inside the lunatic asylum, Bruce Wayne's sullen and hoarse questioning voice sounded. There was a hint of hatred in the voice. "Do you think you are a superhero?"
"Isn't it? Many people call me that, Judgment Knight, which is a very good title."
Li Si shrugged, casually took a tablet handed over from outside the cage fence, and slid it absentmindedly.
It was Bumblebee's thick robotic arm that handed the tablet. The thick arm squeezed and twisted the cage steel bars as thick as a thumb.
In addition to Bumblebee, Joker, the prisoner opposite, was also watching the show with a strange smile. Many vicious gangsters also fell into mania because of the arrival of Bruce Wayne, provoking and roaring wantonly.
"When a person punishes thugs with violence, he can never be called a hero, just a thug who is more cruel than the thug."
Bruce Wayne's voice began to sound cold, "And now you are a madman and a thug."
His words aroused wanton laughter from many prisoners in Arkham, and many Jigsaw fans in Jigsaw Live Streaming Platform also exploded. They rebutted, swore, shouted... all kinds of barrages appeared in endless streams.
"I understand what you mean. It's nothing more than the idea that a dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon."
Li Si ignored the audience in the live broadcast room, just put down the tablet and asked calmly, "So, is this the reason why you don't dare to kill?"
After asking back, Li Si continued to explain calmly, "There is essentially no difference between you and Joker. You don't believe in the goodness of everyone, not even yourself. The difference is that Joker wants to tear apart the veil of human hypocrisy, while you want to use force and intimidation to prevent others from releasing their inner Beast."
"Human nature is inherently evil. Isn't this the philosophy of your hometown?"
Bruce Wayne paused and was silent for a moment.
Obviously, Li Si is right.
"But if you want to achieve all this, someone must be the executor, sink into the abyss, and look at the light in the distance from hell. The laws of the government exist for this purpose."
Li Si smiled noncommittally and said, "You have your own determination to go to hell, but you don't believe in your own determination. You break the law that is supposed to be a restraint and punish evil with violence, but you are not evil enough.
You are worried that you will become a thug, you dare not kill, and send all criminals to prison, but this makes no sense. The credibility of the Gotham City government is getting lower and lower because of you. Criminals can easily escape again and vent their dissatisfaction with more crazy destruction, causing more people to be harmed, forming a fatal cycle."
Li Si's calm explanations were like sharp knives hitting Bruce Wayne's Mind Stone.
He himself had actually already noticed the problem.
The original order of Gotham was very corrupt, so it was no problem for him to initially transform into Batman to fight against evil. On the contrary, this was the most direct and effective way.
But he is a person who is suspicious of everyone, including himself. He is worried that once he kills someone, he will become a thug no different from Joker and others.
This creates an infinite loop.
His existence further highlights the incompetence of the Gotham City government, and the existence of the law has become without any binding force. The only thing Gotham criminals fear most is Batman.
But this Batman... can't kill anyone.
All the criminals now understand that no matter how evil they do, they will never die. What is there to be afraid of?
For them, going to prison is as easy as eating and drinking. They can escape from prison, rob prisons, bribe officials, and come out to enjoy themselves when they are bored. By the way, they take pleasure in provoking Batman. Gotham becomes more and more chaotic, more and more people are harmed, and those who have lost their families become new desperadoes.
At this time, it is impossible for him to escape. Batman is the only fear of criminals and has become the only sustenance of many people. While he still exists, he may be able to barely maintain the peace of Gotham, but once he leaves, Gotham, without this only deterrent, will become a complete city of crime.
And even if he has been acting as Batman, he is just lingering to delay and continue to worsen this situation. As time goes by, or something unexpected happens to him, this day will come sooner or later.
"Okay, the reading of the preamble to the trial is over."
After the atmosphere was silent for a moment, Li Si suddenly showed a smile and broke the silence, "Let's talk about something lighter. I opened a poll before. I think you should also know. Are you willing to see the final result?"
"Let's see."
Bruce Wayne nodded silently. He also heard some clues from the words of "Jigsaw", and there was even a faint expectation in his heart.
Jigsaw Why did he specifically mention these? Maybe he has a better solution?
The thought arose made Bruce Wayne himself stunned for a moment - he suddenly understood why those who had been tortured by Jigsaw's trial were willing and even grateful.
"This result... I feel a little regretful."
Li Si opened the previously opened voting website on his tablet, and then handed it to Bruce Wayne with regret.
"This is..."
Seeing the voting results on the website, Bruce Wayne was startled again, and then a little bit of uncontrollable relief and joy emerged.
[Voting results: Jigsaw(5876)vs Batman(14680)]
After seeing the momentum of the previous protest teams, he originally had no hope, but he didn't expect that he still won, and the number of votes was far more than double that of Jigsaw.
This is the feeling of being recognized.
What makes him happy is not that he won Jigsaw, but that his efforts over the years have not been without results, and there are so many people silently supporting him.
When he saw the huge teams marching for Jigsaw before, although he couldn't say that he was shocked, it was impossible to say that he wasn't a little bit disappointed.
After all, he has guarded Gotham for many years, and Jigsaw has only appeared for a few months at most, but no one has ever stood up and shouted for him with such a big fanfare. He was the only one walking alone in the dark night.
Now this result at least proves that my efforts are seen and recognized by others.
"Are you happy?"
Li Si suddenly smiled sarcastically and said, "Yes, you successfully defeated me with your votes. You should be happy."
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Hearing this, Bruce Wayne regained his composure again, and while handing the tablet back, he frowned and asked.
Although I don't know much about Jigsaw, I can at least be sure that Jigsaw is obviously not someone who is angry because he lost this vote. Moreover, this vote was originally initiated by Jigsaw, so there should be some meaning in saying this.
