Chapter 524: Utopia
In the end, Arthur won the battle with the Joker with his tenacious willpower and always calm and rational mind. When he witnessed the Laughing Bat disappearing into smoke and dissipating in the air with the wind, he felt like he was relieved of his weight.
The burden is heavy, and the whole body is relaxed.
He finally got rid of the clown as he wished. At this moment, his mind was as clear as ever. He sorted out all the details of the game in a short period of time. Although he won, it was still very thrilling. In fact, when the Laughing Bat told the truth,
Arthur was only a little bit away from the collapse of his sanity.
And once his sanity collapses, it will be completely over. His soul and self-consciousness will be swallowed up by the Laughing Bat, turned into nutrients, and become a part of the other party. At that time, it will not be him Arthur who comes out of this weird world.
, not a clown, but the even more terrifying Laughing Bat!
Thinking of this, Arthur found that he had invisibly accomplished a feat of saving the world. If the Laughing Bat were released, the outside world would probably suffer. Through the peculiar hub link, Arthur vaguely sensed the Laughing Bat.
It's scary and powerful, but there seems to be an even more powerful and unpredictable evil existence behind it.
"Batman... Bruce Wayne and I are on the same page, and the darkness deep in his heart also leads to the abyss of hell!"
After all this time, Arthur can be said to be one of the people who knows Batman best. After all, he has played Batman for so long, and he has a much stronger sense of immersion than when he watched the quiz game before.
After solving the clown's problem, Arthur was not in a hurry to leave this weird world. This world was created by Dream Star based on his consciousness and memory. It was like Schrödinger's cat, which was both illusory and non-existent.
It is true and correct.
Here, Arthur can choose another life path and use this world as a testing ground to try various methods of transforming Gotham. After leaving this world, he will also gain these rich experiences and various abilities!
One of Arthur's two obsessions has now been completed. What's left is how to save and change Gotham, the city of sin. The path of Batman and the Dark Knight seems to be unworkable. The Joker's so-called chaos is fair evil.
The road is also impassable.
Arthur tried to change Gotham from the top down, actively participated in politics, and was finally elected as the mayor of Gotham by relying on the money-making ability of Wayne Group and his eloquence.
At the beginning of taking office, he planned to vigorously rectify Gotham's security environment with severe means and reformed Gotham's police system. While ensuring logistics and funding, Gotham police officers were very motivated to crack down on criminals.
Gotham's public security environment did improve at first, but Arthur soon encountered difficulties. On the one hand, his drastic reforms encountered great resistance, from civil society groups to corresponding interest groups.
There were a lot of opinions, and even some discordant voices came out from within his Wayne Group.
The reason is also very simple. You, Mayor Arthur, are noble, fair and just, but do we all have to eat? You have knocked over the cake all at once. What else do you guys want to eat?
Gotham's corruption is from top to bottom, from the inside out. Arthur's reforms have offended these different interest groups in many ways, even the common people who benefited from the reforms.
, all dissatisfied with the turbulent environment.
Arthur found that even though he was in a high position in the political situation, he was always cheered by and supported wherever he went, but at the critical moment, there was no reliable manpower around him. No matter how good his plans and measures were, they would always have to be implemented by the people below him.
It doesn't matter if the people below are not cooperating or are submissive, but what is even more despicable are those bastards who fish in troubled waters and deliberately exaggerate the situation.
It's like Arthur proposed in the parliament that residents should stay at home and not go out after eight o'clock at night. This is safer. However, when word spread, it was regarded as a strict curfew and was enforced, causing trouble among residents.
They complained endlessly.
But Arthur only found out about this matter a week later. He asked the person in charge to question him, but the other person looked innocent and claimed that he had resolutely implemented your decree, Mr. Mayor, and that some other powerful people were wrangling in it.
Tiao and Xini tried their best to mess up Arthur's relevant decrees.
A few years later, Gotham City has indeed greatly improved its security compared to the past, but it still has the highest crime rate in the country, and it is no better than when the bat lights were on over the city.
Therefore, people miss the Batman who used to fly over the walls in the city even more.
In the new mayoral election, Arthur lost the election. He found that this road was not going to work. He could choose to join forces with those politicians and consortiums. He should have been with those powerful people, but what Arthur did
But he abandoned his own class and naturally lost the support of those powerful people.
'Perhaps the world needs a bottom-up, thorough reform, just like Paris and Moscow?'
Arthur began to learn some advanced theoretical knowledge that stood on the side of the broad masses of the people, especially workers, and analyzed the problems Gotham encountered from the perspective of social classes, economic development laws, productivity and production methods, and changes in wealth distribution rights.
Dilemma.
In the end, it was discovered that Gotham is not an isolated case, and the entire world actually has problems!
If the world is suffering from cancer, Gotham is just the most obvious and prominent tumor. Under the skin and flesh, a large number of cancer cells have already spread throughout the human body.
'But is this a viable path?'
Arthur thought of the red giant that had collapsed overnight. After experiencing all this, he knew that there was never any magic medicine to cure diseases in the world, let alone any perfect plan or policy.
Because no matter how perfect a plan or policy is, it must be implemented by people. Even if he can ensure that he is a firm idealist, he cannot require that the thousands of people working under him will not change their original intentions.
unless……
Arthur found a way, or in other words, Dream Star provided him with a plug-in. In the world created by Dream Star, Arthur's will is above all else. Although he cannot speak of the constitution and call for wind and rain like the Creator, he can
But it can make his willpower exert extraordinary power.
He can infect the people around him and let them clarify their thoughts, pursuits and ambitions. Just like the clown virus will spread, Arthur regards himself as a large signal tower. As long as he is firm in his ideals, he can influence the people around him all the time.
