All Worlds Madhouse

A long time ago, an old man once made such a metaphor. He said that Gotham is like a kite swaying in the storm. The string holding the kite has already been exhausted. Sooner or later, it will break, and the whole city will eventually fly to confusion.

Just a little breeze.

This gust of wind may come later or earlier, but it doesn't matter.

Because this is the inevitable outcome.

And when I woke up from the dream the next morning.

This breeze has arrived quietly.

At half past eight, there was traffic jam on 79th Street in Gotham City. This is a main road in Gotham City. It is opposite the Wayne Tower. Most of the businesses in the city are on the branches of this road.

Therefore, almost every morning, the intensive honking of cars and the curses of road ragers are inevitable events here.

And there is another item added to today's program list.

At some point, a huge oil tanker drove onto the main road from a side road, then suddenly lost control at the third traffic light and landed in the middle of the intersection.

Immediately, the traffic on 79th Street came to a standstill so easily.

Of course, Gotham is a metropolis after all, and the traffic department quickly mobilized police forces to divert vehicles that were not involved in the congestion to other road sections.

Therefore, the chaotic traffic spread like a virus.

This naturally includes the street where the [Gotham City Police Department] is located.

However, there is nothing anyone can do about traffic. As long as it is blocked, it will become more and more congested. Therefore, the people in the police station did not notice at all that the entire block where they were was gradually being surrounded by vehicles of unknown origin. Surrounded.

10:15. The traffic flow has not been relieved at all, and the Gotham Police Station is even more overcrowded.

Due to the traffic jam, some quarrels inevitably occurred. About a dozen pairs of citizens were beaten from the street to the police station. Some of them had their heads bruised and bleeding. They did not stop even when they were recording confessions, which made the police think. The urge to cuff them.

In addition, there are a bunch of gangsters who take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. They make the already chaotic police station look even more chaotic.

Not to mention, just when this group of people was in trouble, two groups of street gang members clashed and even used firearms.

This level of conflict was no longer something that the nearby small police station could handle. Therefore, in desperation, the police station had no choice but to open a small passage in the congested traffic and dispatch a few vehicles. Cars, and most police motorcycles went to deal with it.

However, at this time, in the other direction of the gang fight, three alarms were suddenly received in succession. In one case, a large supermarket was robbed, in another case, continuous gunshots and screams were heard on the roof of the building, and in the last case, several floating bodies were found on the lakeside on the outskirts of the city.

Okay, it’s another case that doesn’t make much noise, but has to be taken seriously as soon as it appears. In fact, every month in the past, the Gotham Police Department would always receive a lot of such reports, but I don’t know if it’s just bad luck. Anyway, these things all came together today.

But there is nothing you can do about it, police. When you encounter something like this, you can't just say that we are temporarily busy here and ask people to wait for a while. Fortunately, the police station still has a few helicopters at its disposal. Therefore, three police helicopters were dispatched to the crime scenes.

It's good that in such a chaotic morning, the Gotham Police Department finally handled a bunch of shitty cases.

But just when everyone thought that they had finally gotten over it, no one noticed that there were a few more inconspicuous garbage bags in the police station's trash cans and in a few corners that were not easily noticed.

About 40 minutes later, a sudden phone call kicked off today's carnival.

"Hello, Gotham General Administration" operator's name is Mike. The entire wiring area has been buzzing with calls today. So he connected the line without even looking at the caller ID.

On the phone, a voice with a somewhat painful tone came: "Hello, I am the leader of the 2nd field team of the police station, police number 55480."

The operator was stunned for a moment. He looked at the caller ID and found that it was not the internal line of the police station, so he subconsciously thought that this should be a prank call.

"This is not a prank call, so please don't hang up." As if he knew what he was thinking, the person on the phone said in a panic: "I and the four members of the second team have been hijacked now. Now, a gun is put to the back of my head. If you hang up the phone, then we will die. Now, what is your personal phone number?"

The operator frowned, looking very angry, and then cut off the line.

"Another harassing call?" an operator next to him asked, twisting his stiff neck.

"Yeah. He said he was a policeman and was kidnapped." Mike shook his head helplessly, and then waited for the next call to come in.

At this time, the line of the person next to him was connected first.

"Hello, Gotham Police Department," the man said.

Then, he didn't know what he heard. Anyway, he turned his head and looked here in shock.

Then the man seemed to hesitate again and gave a series of phone numbers.

At this moment, Mike suddenly felt something was wrong.

Soon, his colleague's personal phone rang.

He subconsciously opened it and found that he had received a video file.

In the video, four people in police uniforms were kneeling on the ground inside a house, with their hands tied behind their backs. At the edge of the screen, a phone was held in one hand and placed next to a police officer's ear.

"Hello, I am the leader of the 2nd field team of the police station, police number 55480."

"This is not a prank call, so please don't hang up. Me and four other members of Team 2 are being held hostage with a gun to the back of my head. If you hang up, we will Damn, now, what’s your personal phone number?”

In the video, the policeman suppressed his trembling voice and spoke.

But suddenly, the man was obviously taken aback: "No, no -"

He started roaring wildly.

But the hand on the edge of the screen took the phone back without any care, and then, a gun reached into the screen.

A shot of "Bang!"

The policeman fell in a pool of blood.

Later, the phone was dialed again, and then it was placed next to another policeman's ear.

The video ends abruptly.

Mike raised his head in disbelief and looked at his colleagues looking at him with the same horrified eyes.

During this period, his colleague never hung up the incoming call, so the person on the phone must have asked for his number. Because he said in a trembling voice: "My number is 17."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the wiring area was pushed open with a bang, and a cleaner rushed in with a pale face, carrying a plastic bag in his hand.

"Who is operator No. 17?"

the man asked
