Chapter 248 True and false revelations (4K)

Coupled with the previous massacre, people gradually linked them together, and all kinds of rumors suddenly started flying: Why did Maroney want to unite the black and white forces in Gotham, so he planned a massacre against the candidates? , causing no one to compete with him.Even if no one else votes for him, his younger brothers will be able to gather the minimum number of votes to establish the campaign and become the mayor of Gotham.

As time went by, no one came forward to participate in the selection, and the spread of this voice became more and more intense.For a while, the people of Gotham were immersed in confusion about the future. Life is already like this. In the future, when a gang boss comes to power, where will the city go?
The most important thing is that for some reason, this incident that should be unique to Gotham has spread widely, not only attracting attention across the United States, but also attracting people from all over the world to watch.

Various comments on the Internet are even more direct, such as Gotham is finished and has been ruled by gangs, this is a paradise of crime and drugs, and evil forces from all over the world are sincerely invited to settle in. There are countless others.

As a result, the people of Gotham have become increasingly anxious, even showing extreme anxiety in their daily lives.

Seeing that there are only two months left until the start of voting.

Theo Galavan, who had been chatting with Bruce before, "happened" to "encounter" a news reporter at the door of the church.

Facing reporters' questions, Galavan passionately denounced the arrogance of the gangs and called on the people of Gotham to unite to defend law and democracy. Gotham's future must not be left to the gangs.

During this period, several reporters who came over seeing the news felt excited and shouted loudly: "Only a person like Galavan who cares about Gotham is worthy of becoming the mayor!"

Galavan on the screen was struggling, saying that he had to think carefully.

Since Galavan was interviewed in front of the church, this scene was clearly perceived by Cobot through the barrier, and he immediately knew that there was a fraud.

It is very possible that Galavan is the mastermind behind Maroney. Considering what happened with the Mad Men Gang before, the possibility has soared.

So Copot informed Bruce about this matter, and Bruce thought more and thought of some details. When the Madman Gang was in the Central Park Hotel, the first person to be shot was the deputy mayor of Gotham.

This was most likely Galavan's original script requirement. At this point, Bruce basically identified Galavan as the first suspect: "If he participates in the mayoral election next, then he must have single-handedly promoted it." The man behind all this!"

Cobot thought for a while: "Not necessarily. Do you remember when Maroni came to power? There were forces in that fight that were obviously not part of the Gotham gang. This shows that the people involved were no longer individuals but a force. It is very possible that Galavan is also a pawn they pushed behind the scenes, but he is definitely inseparable."

Sure enough, in the next three days, Theo Galavan never came to see Bruce again. Instead, he participated in interviews with reporters and showed his attitude on various occasions.

So after three resignations from those reporters, he officially announced his intention to run for mayor.

And just this morning, Galavan delivered a campaign speech on the steps in front of the Municipal Building.

While Galavan was speaking passionately and eloquently, Maroney led a group of gangsters and fired a round of fire at the speech site, killing more than a dozen reporters and onlookers on the spot. As for Galavan, Then only the arm was shot.

"The gangsters will not defeat me! The people of Gotham will never bow to the gangsters!"

This scene was broadcast on the Gotham News that night. In the shot, Galavan was covered in blood and his face was pale, but his eyes were full of fearlessness and perseverance.

Ever since, in just one night, titles such as "Hero of Democracy" and "Savior of Gotham" were overwhelmingly flooded in the news channels of Gotham people.

This scene really stirred the people's heartstrings. Even Bruce, who had already identified the murderer, had doubts about it, not to mention the Gotham people who didn't know the truth.

However, after Bruce replayed and analyzed the picture many times, he discovered something different.

After comparing the images many times, Bruce discovered that there was something wrong with the gangsters who attacked Galavan.

They can say that everyone is a sharpshooter. The reporters and people who died were all killed with one shot. No one was hit by a second bullet, and there was only one bullet fired at Galavan, and that was it. One that hit the arm.

The rest of the bullets poured into the municipal building behind Galavan!
Although this could not be conclusive evidence, it immediately brought Bruce's suspicion of Galavan to its peak.

It's even close to saying that Galavan is the murderer!
What was even more interesting next was that Bruce discovered that both the Republican and Democratic parties in the United States had given Galavan a lot of election funds at the same time.

After the Wayne Group used its external connections and power, it also understood the truth behind this.

It turns out that Maroni's incident was too big and caused the whole world to focus on Gotham.

The gangs use violent means to kill candidates indiscriminately, which is already shaking the foundation of the two parties' rule over the United States - the electoral system.

As a result, at that time, the Pentagon even wanted to send troops to forcefully suppress the situation. However, those high-level officials also knew that this method could only be a last resort.

Now that Galavan is standing in front of the stage, the two parties will naturally provide support. If the gangs are still suppressed through relatively formal election methods in the end, then the United States can use the public opinion tools it has at its disposal to suppress this matter. The impact is minimized.

As for whether to teach the ignorant gangster a lesson in the future, that is a matter behind closed doors.

After learning about the situation, Brees had to admire Galavan's good move.

The news in the next few days will almost all revolve around Galavan and Maroney.

Until Galavan was attacked again, this time he was seriously injured and was sent directly to the hospital.

Galavan, who was in the same hospital bed, was still unwilling to give up and challenged Maroney once again.After this, polls showed that more than 6% of people were willing to vote for Galavan, and another 3% said they would not participate.

Cobot and Bruce discussed again, "No, there is something wrong with this matter. It has reached this point. There is no need for him to seriously injure himself. After all, there is only more than a month before the vote. If he cannot recover by then, he may even be injured." It directly affects his campaign, after all, people will not elect a half-dead person to become mayor."

Bruce also agreed: "Yes, I see it that way too, so I think this is most likely the work of another group of people. This group of people may have discovered Galavan's involvement in it, so they don't want to Let him come to power, and then a real assassination was carried out, but unexpectedly it failed."

Cobot once again watched the moment when Galavan was injured: "Bruce, did you see that there was a faint fluorescence in his upper body the moment the bullet hit his chest?"

So Bruce quickly processed the video and revealed it by adjusting the hue, "It's really like this!"

Cobot sneered: "Haha, I know, he is the person who attacked the church that day! They all have the same light! Otherwise, there is no need for ordinary people to have trouble with the church, especially when the president has reached reconciliation with the Holy See. !
He must have his own goals, and the church happens to be blocking his way, so why does he come to Gotham? What purpose does he want to achieve!"

As he said that, Cobot looked at Bruce beside him: "During the previous period, Galavan has been looking for you. After my observation, he really wants to have a good relationship with you, otherwise there is no need to do that. To a certain extent, so I suspect that his target is you, how do you feel about it?" Cobot said bluntly.

Bruce nodded: "Since he approached me specifically, I have investigated him and discovered that the Galavan family actually has enmity with the Wayne family. If that is the case, it is really possible."

Bruce briefly told the grudges between the two families, and Cobot had nothing to say. After all, this was a matter of ancestors.

"Since you are already prepared, that's fine. You have to be more careful. I'm afraid that if he can't achieve his goal through overt means, he will resort to secret means. After all, if the sect that attacked that day is really his As a human being, you can't solve it now.

Especially when I find that you often go out at night, you have to be careful. "Cobot also pointed out this issue directly.

At first, he thought that his concealment was perfect, but it turned out that people had always known about it. Even though he had started to fight for justice in Gotham as Batman, Bruce felt a blush on his face.

Cobblet considered that the person in front of him was a major financial supporter of the cult, and he was also the only cultist who practiced venting his anger in Gotham, so he asked: "Bruce, let me ask you, in your opinion , is concealment more important, or speed? "

Bruce didn't expect Copot's thinking to jump so fast, but he still answered seriously: "I think hiding is more important. Only by hiding in the darkness can you have a chance to see everything exposed in the light."

Cobot nodded, stretched out his right hand from his sleeves, and spread it out. Inside was a badge: "The group of people who attacked the shrine before, do you remember the holy relics they used? In fact, our sect has similar ones. The holy relics, this is the holy relics that our sect can produce.

It is essentially about imprinting divine magic on things. This can only be made after reaching the level of priest and possessing the ability to carve divine patterns.

However, you should pay attention to one thing when using it. This badge needs to be inspired by the power of faith, and it has a time limit for use. Therefore, although it allows monks to use divine magic in advance, the consumption cannot be ignored.

So don't use this kind of badge as a reliance, and you should strengthen yourself more, so that you can step into the assistant priest as soon as possible, so that you can truly use divine magic by yourself.

The next day, another piece of news, like a bombshell, detonated in Gotham.

It turns out that after yesterday's poll results came out, a videotape was sent to Gotham TV.

So the next day's morning news released the video inside.

On the TV, Barbara, who had a short haircut, greeted everyone at the camera: "Hello everyone, I am Barbara, and I am also a member of the Lunatic Gang.

Now, on behalf of the lunatic gang, I want to reveal to you a crazy but true news, that is, Theo Galavan, who you are now the savior of Gotham, is an out-and-out hypocrite, murderer, and a murderer. The Madman Gang also has super madmen who are countless times crazier. The reason why I say this is because the main messenger behind our Madman Gang is him: Theo Galavan!"

Faced with such breaking news, not to mention the people of Gotham, even Bruce and Copper were shocked.

"Could it be that the lunatic gang is preparing to take revenge on Galavan who betrayed them?"

"You may be wondering, am I lying? If I am not lying, why would I tell such a thing?" Barbara showed a hideous expression, "Just because we don't want to die! We are crazy The members of the gang were originally imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum. I think everyone in Gotham understands the situation there. If we only rely on the six of us, it is impossible to escape from it. Someone must come from the outside. With help, we can escape.

And the man who kidnapped us from Arkham was Galavan. You should know from the news that among the people who escaped from Arkham at that time, there was also a millionaire: Richard Sionis.

But did you see him in our recent operations? Definitely not! Because he didn't agree to be Galavan's lackey and was unwilling to do things for him, he was beaten to death that day.

And the rest of us, seeing this situation, can only do things for him in order to survive.He wants us to create silence and kill the deputy mayor and the powerful people in Gotham. The reason why he wants us to do this is because he wants to be the mayor of Gotham and wants to control the entire Gotham!"

This video instantly stirred up a stir, putting Galavan once again at the forefront of public opinion.

Faced with such unfavorable factors, Galavan naturally had to explain in front of reporters, "This is a naked slander! I was also present at the bombing at the Central Park Hotel that day. This is something that everyone can see! Me and my My sister, Tabitha, almost died on the spot. Tabitha only left the ICU three days ago.

If I really planned it myself, why would I put myself in such danger? Think about it carefully. I am a billionaire. Is the mayor really important to me? It is worth using both myself and my sister. Are you risking your life?"

Seeing this, Bucus frowned: "No, there's something wrong with what he said! According to his script, there shouldn't be any danger. He should have killed Jerome on the spot and directly become Gotham in the venue. Hero! It was because of my interview on TV that Jerome betrayed him at the last moment and joined Galavan!"

Cobot nodded: "I found another reason why Galavan wants to kill you."
