Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 116 The Playful Madman

Scarecrow, Jonathan Crane, has excellent talents in psychology and chemistry. Like most of Gotham's super villains, he suffered tremendous mental trauma due to his unfortunate childhood. As a psychiatrist and the creator of fear gas, he knows how to cause mental trauma to others.

So, who is the person opposite him?

The Mad Hatter, Jervis Tetch.

Jervis, who was born a dwarf, once took an experimental drug on the market in an attempt to restore his height to normal standards. However, the drug did not work. Instead, it pathologically turned him into a madman and made him bald. He fantasized all day long that he was in the fairy tale world of "Alice in Wonderland" and was convinced that he was the Mad Hatter in the fairy tale, using a tall hat to cover his bald head.

Of course, every villain who can make a name for himself in Gotham has his own unique skills. The Scarecrow has fear gas, the Joker has madness and chaos, Poison Ivy is the spokesperson for all things green, and the Mad Hatter is a brainwave controller - even if he becomes crazy, his own intelligence supports him, allowing him to create this evil instrument that can control the minds and behaviors of ordinary people.

Although the device must be worn on the head of the hypnotized subject to be effective, its control effect is indeed good. In addition to ordinary people, dozens of superheroes and super criminals have also been affected by it. It is worth mentioning that people with strong enough willpower can break free from control on their own.

The Scarecrow didn't have a brainwave controller in his hat, so he naturally had no fear of the Mad Hatter. The Mad Hatter interrupted his nursery rhyme, which made him very unhappy.

"Cake!" "Tea?"

"Cake!" "Tea?"

"Gentlemen." A voice came along with the sound of footsteps, stopping the childish quarrel between the two super criminals.

"I spent all this time and energy helping you leave Arkham early, not to argue about cake and tea."

The two turned their heads to look to the side, and a Roman slowly walked out from the shadows with sharp eyes.

"We have business. It concerns the vault of Gotham Bank."

【Ding】

[You have a new part-time job, please check it]

Ma Zhaodi was stunned when he saw the system prompt that suddenly popped up.

“Is it reasonable to trigger another gig during one gig?”

Having said that, monitoring is not a completely inseparable job. There is automatic recording anyway, so it’s no problem to listen to it in your free time.

So Ma Zhaodi opened the description of the odd job.

【Independence Day's crazy duo
Mission Introduction: For a madman, the joy of planning a robbery far outweighs the final gains from the robbery. The money he takes away is just a settlement item after completing the game - but then again, except for a madman, no one would dislike colorful banknotes.

Note: Although the enemy is a crazy duo, you don't need anyone else for this mission. You can handle it by yourself - it's time to show off your PVZ skills! (This mission is timed, please complete it before Batman arrives)

Status: Incomplete (0/1)

[Reward: Primary Mental Resistance] "Primary Mental Resistance?"

Ma Zhaodi opened the store and took a look. The reward was also worth 100,000 US dollars in asset points, which was the same level as the intermediate physical fitness enhancement.

"Increase resistance to mental attacks. Special attack on the old man in the wheelchair?"

After a brief thought, he roughly guessed who the mission was going to target. After all, the Gotham Police Department had already launched a bounty for the Scarecrow and a search for the Riddler. This large-scale search would cause a lot of noise.

"Independence Day, a bank vault—well, this is a Gotham staple. But why choose this moment to rob? Are they afraid Gordon won't be able to catch them?"

Ma Zhaodi's thoughts received no answers, while Straw, Mad Hatter and Falcone's plans were proceeding at full speed.

Independence Day is not far from Father's Day, and it comes very quickly.

Selina and Bruce were talking about life in Wayne Manor. After Harvey returned home, he continued to monitor Maroni and Vernon. Sheriff Gordon still couldn't find the Scarecrow and the Riddler, so he went home from get off work as usual on this day - after all, today is Independence Day.

This festival is quite grand for the United States. On this day, the atmosphere in Gotham City is very lively. Parades of various motorcades and grand fireworks shows will be staged in Gotham. Walking on the street, Ma Zhaodi can even see several generations of a family driving cars, floats, horse-drawn carriages, large toy cars, etc. to parade together on the streets.

All kinds of noisy sounds came into his ears, and Ma Zhaodi felt like the Nian monster on New Year's Eve, about to be driven out of the city by the citizens with firecrackers. Although he had trained himself to be able to maintain normal functions in such a situation, the noise was still noisy, and the sounds on the street still made people feel very uncomfortable.

Today he decided not to use his wheelchair on the street for the time being because it was too conspicuous. Even in a colorful parade, he was the only one using a wheelchair, and he would be easily recognized by the gangs.

He just strolled along the street, wearing an ordinary short-sleeved T-shirt and shorts - the summer heat had not yet passed, and Gotham was still sweltering.

He lowered his head slightly so that others would not notice his face. At this moment, Ma Zhaodi really looked like an ordinary passerby wandering around on the street, not attracting any attention at all - of course, it can also be said that he was acting in his true colors.

Chichi—bang! bang! bang!

The sound from the sky interrupted Ma Zhaodi's thoughts. Fireworks flew into the night sky of Gotham City, then exploded with a bang, turning into colorful sparks. The brilliant fireworks immediately attracted countless Gotham citizens to look up. The fireworks are as beautiful every year. People have watched them for so many years, but they still never get tired of it.

Even the somewhat irritated Ma Zhaodi couldn't help but look up. This was a scene he hadn't seen since he arrived in Gotham. Once upon a time, he could see fireworks exploding in front of his eyes every New Year. He also stood in the yard with relatives and friends, holding long firework tubes, adding several colors to the dazzling fireworks.

Sheriff Gordon, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the newspaper clipping in his hand and walked to the window. Barbara also came out with little Gordon and her daughter in her arms. They looked at the beautiful fireworks and their faces showed joy.

It was not until a while later that Gordon reacted first. He looked at his watch, then at the clock tower in the distance. A puzzled look appeared on his face, and he muttered a few words subconsciously.

"It's so strange. It's clearly not the time yet, but all the fireworks in the city are already being set off."

"Could it be that a few playful kids are causing trouble?"
