Chapter 16 “Red Uprising” (Ch 827233169)

Gotham now seems to have returned to what it was many years ago.
There are no people with super powers, no mental illnesses or lunatics, and there are more gangsters in the whole Gotham.
But compared to the morality of the past, today’s gangs are more about being corrupt.
For example, after gang A takes over a certain area, it collects protection fees and maintains a certain order. Gang B sees this and sends people to disrupt A’s order. After A finds out, it no longer focuses on maintaining its own order, but uses the same behavior of B, which eventually leads to:
Chaos in Gotham.
In the process of evolution, the former Gotham gang gradually formed a circle with Super Counter as the center and the number of times the boss entered Arkham as the radius, drawing a circle of doing bad things.
After the Joker’s purge of the super-anti-gang, the gang itself showed a sense of decadence and morbidity.
In today’s chaotic Gotham, the Joker-killing Gang, a gang with clear goals, numerous supporters and suitable soil, is growing rapidly.
“For peace!”
“Stop oppression!”
“Kill the rich!”
What kind of people are rich people?
capitalist.
then.
“Kill the capitalists!”
So, as the surrounding cities were shocked, a red uprising broke out in Gotham.
“Although I won’t be too surprised by anything that happens here…but this…” Nightwing, who hurried over, looked incredulous:
“How could this happen?”
Red Robin felt a faint sense of death and said calmly, “Yeah, I wanted to ask that question, too.”
“Isn’t Luthor behind this force?” Nightwing turned to look at Superman who was also rushing over, and asked:
“How could this happen?”
Superman blinked his innocent, blue eyes: “Um…I’ve been messing with his lab lately.”
“Did it work?” Nightwing said with some anticipation: “I urgently need some bad news about Luther to comfort my young heart.”
“…I’m sorry, no.” But Superman quickly added: “But I have made a discovery.”
“What?”
“The Joker’s spine is in Luthor’s possession.” Superman’s expression was somewhat serious: “Luthor has started research on it.”
During the autopsy of the Joker, the Bat Family discovered that his spine had been missing during his lifetime, and was replaced by a crudely installed mechanical device.
It stands to reason that this kind of injury, regardless of the purpose, is enough to cause death due to the huge pain. After body/fluid analysis, it was found that the Joker relied on injecting large amounts of venom into his body to forcibly increase his ability to move and suppress pain.
But this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. There is even a possibility that even if the Joker is still alive, the withdrawal reaction from insufficient venom supply or the infection of the wound will lead to his death.
Unless he gets a gentler biological spine and soaks in electrum or the Lazarus Pool.
“The Joker’s spine contains the Dionysus factor. Although this factor will not be triggered before life is in danger, that element can give people super recovery ability and near immortality.”
When Superman’s external brain Batman was unable to function, he finally thought of his own super brain and showed an incredible logical ability and wisdom:
“That reminds me of Batman’s current healing abilities… maybe the thing he was infected with contained a small amount of Dionysus factor.”
“Little D told me that the Pool of Lazarus was stolen by the Joker and the source was blown up. That thing is a inferior version of the Dionysus factor.” Nightwing said.
That’s right.
After Luthor deprived the Joker of his spine, he had a premonition of his own death, so he kept a suicide note close to himself and used the Water of Lazarus mixed with laughing gas to create the Joker virus.
This is also good news. At least we won’t be like a headless fly and give random treatment without knowing Batman’s condition.
“The Dionysian factor itself does not have the property of causing madness.”
“But the Pool of Lazarus does.”
Lei Xiaogu, once a good man, became a bad man because of this thing.
So we need to conduct research on the Pool of Lazarus.
“Now we need the help of a child of destiny who can withstand the pollution of the Lazarus Pool.” Nightwing smiled and said to the Red Hood in the chat channel:
“How about it, Destiny’s Child?”
Red Hood also entered it, but was not contaminated.
“I don’t think something that can’t even contaminate me can affect the old man.” Red Hood laughed sarcastically:
“You should change direction: trigger the inner darkness, make them crazy, cruel, paranoid, and integrate them into a clown personality, with their skin turning white, lips turning red, hair and pupils turning green, losing their minds and self-control, and engaging in meaningless violence and destruction… These are things that the Lazarus Pool cannot do.”
“Anyway, just give it a try… maybe it will work?
Red Hood sneered and did not continue to refute.
“So what do you think about killing the Joker?” Nightwing changed the subject.
“It’s already very difficult for us to contain it, but the ‘capitalists’… the Red Uprising, there will always be someone more anxious than us.”
So who is the most anxious?
It is our beloved mayor.
“We need sanctions!” The mayor glanced at the people below with different expressions and said, “Before the governor gets the news…suppress it.”
He became the mayor with the support of the gangs. If he wants to serve until the end of his term as the gangs are on the decline, he needs to ensure that no major incidents occur in Gotham – the biggest incident being the color red.
“I agree.”
“I agree.”
“I agree.”
After the collapse of that behemoth, the oppressive feeling from it has not gone away. The red color of it makes everyone turn pale and have paranoid fears when talking about it.
…at least not on the surface.
————
But in fact, its development is far less drastic and less outrageous.
It is more of a massacre of the mentally ill and those who oppress them.
This is an obvious thing. How could the real reds expose themselves and shout slogans when they are outnumbered?
“Next, send a proposal to the governor to lock down Gotham.”
Luther stood in front of the French window, looking at the dark clouds over Gotham in the distance, and waved to his assistant.
“Yes, Senator.”
Batman has an emergency for a massive outbreak in Gotham – The Last Laugh.
When Gotham City faces a serious crisis, the system can be activated to turn Gotham City into a self-sufficient fortress, cutting off contact with the outside world and protecting the city from external disasters.
Having this system can also tolerate the outside world cutting off its connection with it, so that Gotham will not fall into an irreversible situation due to temporary sanctions.
Luther knew about this.
He narrowed his blue but not so penetrating eyes slightly, and slowly raised a leisurely and happy smile.
He is located above Metropolis, a bright place opposite to Gotham. The neon lights are shining warmly and brilliantly, emitting a completely different brilliance from Gotham.
