Chapter 2174 Battle of Two Cities! (Forty-two)
Strange agreed, and no one would ask why.
The specific operation method is that Strange himself creates an illusion of Bruce Wayne, and then uses his extremely skilled surgical experience to operate on this illusion, and then operates the illusion to produce the desired effect.
For example, if there is a cut here, then let the illusion have a reasonable incision, remove the nerve on that side, and then let the illusion simulate a nerve.
This plan was actually proposed by Strange himself.
Bruce's original plan was that he would leave his body here for Strange to fiddle with, and his soul would go out to do something else. Anyway, he just needed an alibi.
It is easy for Bruce to create an alibi, but the difficulty is to deceive the Joker, so a doctor like Strange who has the final say in the professional field is needed. If someone says it can be cured, it can be cured. If someone says that this method can be used for surgery, no one dares to refute it. This is the power of the top boss in the industry.
But Strange said in a somewhat disgusted tone that the nerves that Bruce had transformed into his body were too ugly to look at, and they were almost inconsistent with the laws of biological evolution. It would be better for him to make up a lesion himself, so that the operation time could be accurately controlled within 20 hours.
But it was really hard for Bruce to imagine how to perform the most delicate surgical operation as in ordinary surgery, while operating the magic phantom to perform the corresponding changes.
This requires not only the ability to perform delicate operations, but also unparalleled rich experience, knowing the direction of every muscle and every nerve.
You must know that in addition to another surgeon Jonah, there are countless experienced nurses and head nurses present. It is not easy to hide from the eyes of this group of people. It is not easy to just make a bleeding animation effect.
And now there are two intern assistants in the operating room. Strange may need to explain while performing the operation. The difficulty of three-pronged approach is not addition, but exponential growth.
But since Strange asked so, Bruce signed the contract. Strange saw how careless the signing of contracts in this universe could be. There was no need to find a lawyer. Both parties just needed to read the contract and sign it.
The terms of the contract were not rigorous at all. To put it bluntly, it was just plain language. It stipulated who would do what, when to finish it, and what the consequences would be if it was not finished. It could not be said to have the prototype of modern law, but it could only be said to be quite Hammurabi's legacy.
Then Bruce also saw what the real hand of God was. Strange drove Jonah away, and a light flashed in his hand, and the phantom enveloped Bruce's original body.
He cast an invisibility spell on Bruce and winked at him, and Bruce sat up from the operating table, and the wound healed quickly.
Then he continued to perform extremely delicate operations near the incision made by Jonah before, with a technique that Bruce could not see any flaws at all.
This can be called incredible, because now he has not only concealed the room full of doctors and nurses, but also the world's best detective Batman.
No wonder Nick thought of looking for him first, Bruce thought with some sigh, he is a natural liar, and his skill will make Batman applaud.
Bruce was fascinated and almost forgot to leave. It was not until Strange coughed several times that he walked to the door reluctantly, thinking that he must add a clause to the contract with Strange next time to learn surgical techniques from him.
Wait, it seems that I don't have to learn from him.
After Bruce left, he went to find Peter Parker as soon as possible. At this time, Peter didn't know that his good partner Bruce had changed people. He walked up to him with some worry and gave him a hug and said.
"Don't be too depressed, man. Heroes are always misunderstood. It's not your fault. It's all because the criminals are too cruel."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Bruce walked into the room quickly. He looked around the equipment in Matt's small gathering place and said, "Do you have a remote hidden headset?"
"No, but what do you want the headset for?"
"I have a plan, but I need your cooperation. At first, you may have a lot of confusion, so I need to inform you through the headset."
Peter felt a little confused. He looked at Bruce and blinked and said, "You look a little different."
Bruce also turned and looked at him, lowered his eyes and said, "You're right, people are inevitably misunderstood, but this doesn't make me angry, but it makes my mind more active and my physical strength more abundant. I'm forcing myself to find a solution. I know I can find it, and you know it, don't you?"
Peter was slightly stunned, and then he thought that Bruce Wayne is Batman. Although he acted very bad before, who knows if Batman was also bad when he was young?
Everyone matures at different times. Peter deduced based on his own simple common sense that Bruce could not have been reading "The Iliad" and memorizing "The Major Cases" as soon as he was born.
He will always have a time when he is not good at it, so why can't he be in his 20s?
But everyone will mature, and Spider-Man himself is the same. When he was not mature yet, Spider-Man could not say that he did better than Bruce, so he was fully tolerant, and now he also believes that everyone should be viewed from a developmental perspective.
Perhaps just like himself, there was a certain node that contributed to Batman's transformation, making him become more and more powerful until he became the omnipotent Batman in Spider-Man's impression.
Peter immediately gained confidence. In fact, he had also had a headache before about how to reverse the situation of public opinion. Spider-Man had experienced this many times, but until now, he had not found any useful method. He could only Wait for the storm to pass.
However, Peter Parker is just an ordinary little person. After taking off his uniform, he goes to school and to work, and no one pays attention to him. But Batman is not like that. His identity after taking off his uniform is Bruce Wayne. There are so many things worth worrying about, and there is no way to throw everything away and avoid the limelight.
But if Batman is Batman, everything will be different. Spider-Man knows best how magical Batman's plan is, and if nothing happens, they will definitely be able to reverse the situation. But out of caution, Peter had to make sure this was not another stupid idea, so he tentatively asked: "What plan have you made? Can you tell me about it?"
"Of course, we are teammates." Bruce nodded, walked to the end of the single bed next to him, sat down, and patted the place next to him.
Peter immediately showed a bright smile and walked to sit next to Bruce. He felt that the feelings he had paid before were not in vain, and Batman was actually willing to tell him his plan.
You know, that's Batman, can other Spider-Man do it?
"Before I tell you my future action plan, I have to explain to you what I have done before."
Bruce said something surprising, "I went to see Mayor Penguin and played a game of Russian Spinner. It's the kind of game where you put a bullet in a six-shooter revolver and take turns shooting yourself in the head."
Only then did Peter remember. He turned to look at the small TV next to him and said, "I heard on the news that you were being rescued. I thought the media were exaggerating and reporting randomly. So you're okay?"
"This is part of my plan. I went on to say that for some reason, my luck is extremely bad. You can understand that a 10% chance of something bad happening is about 50% for me, and a 50% chance of something bad happening. For me it’s 100%.”
"The probability of 1/6 is neither too high nor too small. What is certain is that I will be hit within three shots. However, my luck was particularly bad this time. I was hit on the first shot."
Peter turned his head and looked at Bruce up and down. He didn't see any injuries on his body, but he wasn't surprised. On the one hand, if protected, the small revolver was not particularly lethal. On the other hand, Spider-Man was originally It has the ability to heal itself. As long as the bullet can be taken out after being shot, the wound will heal very quickly, and it will only hurt a little at most.
"Why does the mayor want to bet with you?" Peter asked his own question.
"Manipulation tendencies are one of the most striking characteristics of psychopaths." Bruce replied: "They can't resist manipulating others. Penguin is such a madman, so this is a big enough temptation for him."
"He thinks that I am not as determined as him, so he can use the threat of death to create pressure to make me collapse. In addition to being able to manipulate me to gain benefits, watching others collapse and suffer under his mental abuse is very difficult for these lunatics. They said it was sweet candy and they couldn’t refuse it.”
Peter shuddered, and then he heard Bruce continue: "But this is actually just sugar-coating on the cannonball. I didn't intend to win at all. I even planned to die in front of him before he put pressure on me."
Peter felt that Bruce in front of him had completely changed. Even though he no longer had the instinct of spider sense, he still moved his position further away from Bruce.
"The media is good at manipulating public opinion to slander others. They try every means to pile firewood high and make the flames burn hotter and brighter. So instead of looking for water everywhere to put out the fire, it is better to just build a rack to barbecue."
Peter was stunned as he listened to Bruce smoothly explain a series of plans.
"I fell in the mayor's office. The Penguin cannot be said to be innocent in any way. There is no room for beautification of this matter. The more details are obscured, the more people will only value the results."
"And the result is that Penguin defeated the infamous me and made me pay a heavy price, even about to die."
"The people who have been completely inflamed by these media don't care about the law. The essence of populism is lynching. The Penguin judged me on their behalf and naturally became their spiritual leader."
"They don't care about the Penguin's wishes, they just need a spiritual flag to vent their emotions and spread their extreme ideas. They will repeatedly emphasize that the Penguin stands with them."
"But those vested interests will not allow someone to lead so many people to arbitrarily judge their members. They will definitely make Penguin pay a price to scare the monkeys and warn the fanatical people to be honest."
"This will lead to Penguin not being able to stand on the side of the people even if he doesn't want to, because now only these people who support him want him to live, and the rest all want him to die."
Bruce raised his hands and said: "The upper class needs a gorgeous shell to package themselves to show their civilization and kindness. At least on the surface, they need to respect the wishes of the people."
"Then all the people who support Penguin will become his life-saving straw. He must hold on to them tightly to save his own life. And if he wants to hold on to them, he must join them, lead them, and protect them. "
Peter saw a dangerous vortex opening up on Bruce. The madness hidden behind the wisdom in his blue eyes was like a light spot in the deep sea that lures fish to the bait.
Peter was unconsciously attracted to him.
Bruce stood in front of him and said.
"Some people say that only by torturing super criminals can the hatred in their hearts be relieved; some people say that death is the end that super criminals deserve; some people say that ignoring and forgetting are the best punishments for super criminals - but I think none of them are right."
"... Then, what should it be?"
"The best way to punish super criminals is to let them become superheroes."
I'm secretly docking at the beach. Sorry for being late
