Chapter 439： Talent comes out of Arkham

When Arthur found Thomas Wayne, some viewers actually expected this result, as Alfred, the housekeeper, said when Arthur went to Wayne Manor - 'Don't bring shame on yourself. '.

But Arthur still had expectations at that time, thinking that Thomas Wayne was indeed his father, but when this hope was completely shattered, his whole person collapsed a bit.

When I got home, I moved everything out of the refrigerator and shut myself in.

Seeing this, many people couldn't help but sympathize and sigh, Peter Parker sighed: "Sometimes the gap between people is really big, old Mr. Wayne should still be enjoying the opera in the theater right now. Well, he doesn't know how much damage he has done to other people..."

Sheriff Gordon raised his eyebrows and said, "He was worried that Arthur would hurt his son, but no matter what, he shouldn't hit people, and his attitude was too tough."

Having said this, he glanced at Bruce Wayne next to him, and added: "But the Thomas I know is not like this. He is polite and treats everyone politely."

Bruce Wayne was silent, and frankly, he also felt that the 'father' in the video was too impersonal, which was quite different from the father he knew and understood.

It can only be said that people in different parallel time and space are indeed very different.

Bruce Wayne mused, watching Arthur out of the corner of his eye, while Peter Parker and Sheriff Gordon quietly watched him.

They seemed so cautious, naturally they were afraid of irritating Arthur. After all, this was not a normal person, but a mental patient, and Arthur was in a very bad state at this time.

He stared straight at the video on the light screen, his hands clenched into fists involuntarily, his body seemed to be shaking uncontrollably, the expression on his face and eyes clearly revealed sadness and pain, but the corners of his mouth outlined If there is a faint smile, it looks like he may get sick at any time.

In the video, when the camera turned, dark clouds shrouded Gotham City, and Arthur found the Arkham Asylum, intending to investigate the old things that Thomas Wayne said.

This is a large hospital, and it is hard to imagine how many patients live in it.

Soon, Arthur also saw what kind of people the patients here were. He found the file manager of the hospital and asked him, "Are all the people who are detained here criminals?"

Although this is a mental hospital, when he came, Arthur was in the elevator with a patient. The patient was very irritable and had to be bound to the hospital bed, otherwise he looked like he was going to beat people at any time. There are also police guards.

Obviously, the Arkham Asylum is different from ordinary psychiatric hospitals. It is larger, accommodates more patients, and is more complex.

The file management brother didn't hide it from him: "Yes, some are like this, but some are just crazy and pose a threat to themselves or others, and some have nowhere to go and don't know what to do. "

Everyone in Gotham knows that the Arkham Asylum has a prestigious reputation. It is not only a hospital, but also a special prison. The 'talents' from the Arkham Asylum, or the 'academy', can be They're all big names...

Arthur in the video apparently didn't realize what was special about this mental hospital, he complained about his experience to the archivist, "I understand what you mean, man, I sometimes don't know what to do with myself. , the last time I spread my grievances on others... I thought it would bother me a lot, but it didn't at all!"

The little brother, the archivist, was stunned when he heard the words, and stopped his movements, "What did you say?"

Arthur looked at him half-smiling, "I screwed up, man, I did something bad! You know what I mean? It's so hard to be happy all the time."

The archivist looked a little helpless when he heard what he said: "Listen, man, I'm just an administrative assistant, you see, civilians, I'm only in charge of organizing documents and files, so I don't know how to comfort me. you.

But you should go to a psychologist to see, the government also has related welfare programs, public welfare and the like. "

Arthur squeezed his throat and sneered: "Yes, you are right, but they cut all these budgets!"

People at the bottom of society like Arthur definitely have no money to go to a regular hospital to see a doctor. Even for a psychological consultant, the fee is not cheap, so they can only hope for the basic welfare facilities provided by the government and the government.

This is also the reason why the administrator brother suggested that he go to these places to see psychological counseling, because he knew how Arthur was doing at a glance.

Obviously, with Arthur's abnormal state of mind, he must have asked for psychological counseling, but in the end, this socially based welfare facility was abolished.

Sheriff Gordon shook his head and said: "Our Gotham City has done this too. For some people, this basic welfare facility is an unnecessary burden."

Peter Parker also said after hearing the words, "New York is similar, some welfare facilities have been abolished almost, and even if there are still, the budget is cut every year."

Bruce Wayne said sharply: "Because these people's votes are not worthy of politicians' favor."

In the video, the administrator brother said after being silent for a while: "I found the file you want, Fleck, Penny Fleck Let me see - the diagnostician is Benjamin S. Doctor Toner."

Under Arthur's gaze, the administrator brother read to him the key information on the file through the wire mesh fence of the hospital: "The patient suffers from delusional mental illness and narcissistic personality disorder, and she is guilty of to hurt my own child..."

Having said this, the manager's brother suddenly fell silent, glanced at Arthur, and his expression was a little weird.

Arthur's expression at this time was even more weird. The corner of his mouth slowly drew an arc, as if he was smiling, and his eyes stared at him for a moment: "What's wrong?"

"You said she was your mother?" the administrator asked with a solemn expression.

Arthur did smile and nodded slowly, yes, he was the child of Penny Fleck in the file, and also the victim.

At this moment, the management brother suddenly closed the files, "I'm sorry, man, as I said, if you don't fill in the form and sign for approval, I can't give you these records, and I will be implicated.

It would be a lot easier if you brought your mother over to sign it, but I can't give you the document without signing it, get it? I'm very sorry. "
