Scarecrow is a thin and short man who always likes to wear his mask. He is obsessed with bringing fear to others. He rarely kills people with his own hands, but instead watches them fall into fear and devotes himself to psychologically torturing others to death.
Later, he hoped that others could understand him... Why did they think he was a lunatic? Everyone has fear, and he is just helping them overcome their fear, and he is also helping himself, so he causes more and more riots again and again, hoping to make people realize the reality. Gotham is a flower of evil growing in the dark, a hotbed for incubating fear, and only Batman wants to save her again and again, and still has illusions.
It's time for him to face reality and it's time to take off the false mask of Batman!
This is what he thought before he opened the door to the banquet hall on the second floor of the cathedral.
After opening it, his eyes were completely filled with yellow petals and red stamens, and he fainted.
After ten minutes, or half an hour, the Scarecrow thought he might be waking up, but at the moment he woke up, he found that he was falling.
He was falling rapidly in the darkness, he felt the wind blowing through him, his body was freezing cold, he had no protection, nothing, nothing, he saw the city of Gotham, saw the iconic Wayne Tower, saw the Skytrain, and saw that not a single light was on -
He was enveloped by the most primitive and instinctive fear of human beings, the fear of death.
He opened his mouth subconsciously and screamed.
“Ah ...—Ahhhhhhhh—”
The earth was getting closer, his speed was getting faster, his tears were streaming, and then, "pop", he lost consciousness.
He is dead.
The Scarecrow sat up suddenly.
He found himself lying in Crime Alley. It was still pitch black all around him, but somewhere in Crime Alley, something broke free from the darkness and lit up a light that represented hope.
Is it the lights?
The fall to death just now seemed like a dream. Although his clothes were torn and his body still had phantom pains, the Scarecrow confirmed that he was awake. With the help of the pale yellow light, he stumbled in that direction and finally discovered what was glowing in the dark city.
——That's a tree!
It was a tree emitting golden light. People gathered under the tree. The Scarecrow found his subordinates among them. To be precise, he found that his subordinates were about to be beaten to death!
The attackers were Two-Face's men. Scarecrow was not stupid. He subconsciously hid himself to observe what was going on. Did Two-Face break his promise? What was going on now? Why was he here? Was his death an illusion?
Even though he knew that they were his men, the Scarecrow didn't care about their life or death. If they died, he could use his poison gas to threaten another group of people to follow him. Even if he didn't use poison gas, there would still be people who admired him and would follow him!
Through observation, Scarecrow discovered that: "...Harvey's people are becoming more and more violent, just like their boss!"
Also, why didn't Batman come?
Scarecrow felt that something was wrong. Batman would not sit idly by and watch people in the city being killed, even scum like them. He always wanted to send scum to prison, as if prison could transform a scum into a sweet cookie - so, Scarecrow firmly believed that Batman would not sit idly by and watch, as well as Robin and the other vigilantes. Why was there no one, why... this city was empty, without... ordinary people?
The Scarecrow tried to contact other people, tried to make a phone call, or open the website to take a look at Captain America's silly smiling face that always appeared in public service advertisements, but the moment he lowered his head, he found that the light dimmed -
In the distance, those people abandoned the bodies and drove away into the darkness in panic.
then.
The scarecrow saw clearly what it looked like when the world was destroyed.
The city was collapsing and the shaking did not stop. The city of Gotan where he grew up was torn in half by a powerful and strange force. He hurriedly hid in a building, but the next second, the ceiling collapsed.
The Scarecrow realized that his entire body, along with the tall building, was being shattered into pieces by that force.
He died again.
The scarecrow woke up gasping for breath and subconsciously grabbed something to hide.
Then he heard that familiar and crazy laugh, Xiao Chou, damn it, it must be Xiao Chou——
The scarecrow hid in the darkness, trying hard to blend into it.
He realized that death was not a dream, he could still feel the pain. He died again and again, and then resurrected again and again. This torture could not be stopped.
What if he was afraid of the poison gas? His brain was not working at all at this moment. He could not find the non-existent powerful enemy. At this moment, the Scarecrow had only one thought in his mind: escape, escape, escape from Gotan City——
"Oh, let me see who this is?" Xiao Chou's voice came closer, and the madman said in a bored tone, "It seems that it is not my dear little bat, but you, the boring rotten crow...haha..."
The Scarecrow gritted his teeth, fearing that the poison gas had no effect on Xiao Chou. This guy was also a master at using poison gas.
"Wait, little clown," the Scarecrow shouted, "don't you want to leave here and find Batman? There is no Batman here, but we can work together."
In the darkness, he heard the madman's loud laughter, and then: "Yes, yes, you are right...but--"
"Bang", followed by a gunshot, the darkness briefly lit up for a moment, and then the light was instantly swallowed up. Before dying, the Scarecrow heard Xiao Chou say in a vague tone, "But Xiao Chou never carries coins with him."
After dying three times, the Scarecrow's body twitched and woke up again sadly.
But this time, he immediately went to find a car. He rushed forward in the dark and felt the ground collapsing behind him. The invisible enemy came again. It was like a baby with no rules and only wanted to destroy the city. At this moment, the Scarecrow hated this bastard who only wanted to destroy.
In the thrill and excitement, he avoided the danger in the rear, avoided the melee of others, and even avoided his own men. If everyone could come back to life, he couldn't imagine what chaos would happen here!
He saw people trying to withdraw money from empty banks, people smashing and looting things, occupying strongholds, and lunatics like Xiao Chou setting fire to the city. Xiao Chou's purpose was simple - he just wanted to see if this dark city could be lit up, and he wanted to see if he could lure out Batman. Wouldn't it be too boring if there was Xiao Chou but no Batman?
The scarecrow rushed to the edge of the city in a panic. Although he could not see the next-door metropolis from here, he was sure that the metropolis was at the end of the road. He stepped on the accelerator and rushed into the darkness. After an unknown amount of time, he saw the city in the darkness.
The scarecrow's car slowed down slowly, slowly, slowly, and he stopped the car in the middle of the road.
He drove back to the dark city of Gotham.
The strange force coming from behind instantly turned him into meat paste and flattened him to the ground.
But this time, it wasn't Weiwei who crushed the scarecrow.
A huge gargoyle was squatting in her living room, stepping carefully as if it were stepping on a cockroach, focusing on the places where human activities were the most frequent. Weiwei squinted her eyes and buried herself in the soft beige bed in the bedroom.
Including Batman, vigilantes and citizens are all fast asleep, and if anyone else enters Gotham, they will fall asleep on the road because of the props.
As everyone fell asleep, the gargoyles in the city began to move.
Weiwei got bored after playing the game for a while. She summoned gargoyles to work, but found that there were about 20,000 gargoyle statues throughout the city. However, just by summoning them, the light of the cards would immediately dim to almost nothing.
If this card was not driven by the emotional force of "fear", even if any other emotion was used, Vivi would not be able to make the scales shake at all.
She thought about it and only woke up a thousand of them.
Then, having one gargoyle take over her job, she has another gargoyle hold a "large bunch of balloons" and start distributing balloons to the other statues.
Each one takes three balloons at random. Because of the props, these balloons will never run out, and they are difficult to burst under high altitude pressure.
The statues with balloons tied to their claws and necks immediately changed from terrifying to strangely cute. If someone looked down from mid-air at this time, they would notice that the statues came to life, spread their wings, and flew from the city center to Bristol County on the outskirts of Gothenburg, disappearing into the mist of the jungle. When they flew out again, their claws were tied with colorful balloons.
Then, some of these statues hovered in the air, some flew towards Blackgate Prison, and some landed on the street, picking up some people lying on the street and placing them in front of the stores, and carrying Nightwing and Robin into the cathedral in a princess-like posture... Then, they stopped at the tops of various buildings in Gothic. If nothing unexpected happens, these gargoyles will replace the busy vigilantes to guard the city.
During this time, Weiwei opened the panel——
As long as she chooses to end this teaching, the contract with Nightwing will be completed, and she will have the ability to stop at any time.
Therefore, Vivi chose to end her contract with Nightwing, indicating that she had completed her studies, and at the same time, she kicked everyone off the Manor's friendly list.
Because Weiwei didn't want to explain the "coma" and the missing criminals to the vigilantes, she simply closed the manor and refused to allow anyone to visit.
Besides, now that there were gargoyles guarding the place, it was time to give the vigilantes a break, she thought righteously.
However, Weiwei took off the rose on her chest, opened the petals with tweezers, and carefully took off the small headphones worn by Batman. During this time - in order to prevent Batman from causing trouble, she held a little hostage in her hand.
Moreover, her contract with Batman has not ended yet. Nightwing has already been released. Vivi never suffers a loss, and Batman wants to return Nightwing's share as well!
Next is...
Weiwei closed her eyes.
Inside the cathedral, the mayor, who seemed to be in a drowsy state like everyone else, opened her eyes and looked at the screen in front of her.

How come there is an Owl Court mixed in and causing trouble? Weiwei, who is currently using her identity as mayor, thought so.
Is she going to call Mrs. Rothesay again? Weiwei looked at the time. It was 1 a.m., and there were still forty minutes before the "good kids" woke up.
In the following period of time, she will use her identity as the mayor and take advantage of the results of this mission to clean up Ge Tan. It is time to redivide the territory and let them know which powerful criminal should be responsible for digging river sand, which skillful thief should drive the excavator, and which mentally ill patient with professional knowledge should be responsible for forging steel!
