Chapter 572: Lex's Gotham Tour (middle)

Popular recommendation:

When Lex and Cobot met and looked at each other, they suddenly had a hunch that the other might be very similar to them.

This similarity does not refer to the background or resources under control, but to the similarity in spirit and personality, that is to say, they are all born perverts.

There are many similarities between sociopaths. The indifference, cruelty, and irritability cannot be concealed by any type of appearance. When two murderers meet, they will always be the first to meet. Find resonance in each other's souls.

To a certain extent, this kind of people can be said to be the opposite of goodness theory. Many of them did not become perverted because of childhood trauma or psychological shadows. They are born like this and cannot be saved.

Cobert has been doing pretty well recently. He has become Alberto's right-hand man, and his status has risen in the Twelve Family. It is foreseeable that when Alberto really becomes the next godfather, Cobot will His surname can be engraved in the Twelve Families.

In terms of emotions, he is very familiar with the gang at the vocational school, and he has included all the children in Gotham, satisfying his desire for power, and at the same time, he can learn from Victor, who is like his Like his father, he was constantly guiding and educating him.

But as I said before, Cobot has got a better life, has teachers and friends, and has a predictable and bright future. However, he did not become a sunny and lively person because of this. He is still gloomy. , apathy, lack of empathy for others, able to derive pleasure from violence and control over others.

This kind of personality is not changed by the change of the external environment. If it is in a place other than Gotham, his best home is a mental hospital, but in Gotham, this kind of disease cannot be treated and does not need to be treated, or Just a simple sociopath, already a model patient.

After the two were stunned for a while at the same time, they both looked away and did not continue to look at each other. At this time, Victor came out of the other room and saw the two of them froze there. He took the stack of documents in his hand and patted Lex on the shoulder again.

Lex followed him into the inner room, while Cobot continued to prepare experimental supplies outside. From time to time, he turned his head to look at the door. Through the frosted glass, he could see Victor and Leike. Sitting face to face, Victor seemed to be asking Lex some questions, and Lex answered very smoothly.

When the two came out, Victor seemed in a good mood, and he introduced to Cobot: "This is Lex Luthor, and he will also be an assistant in the laboratory in the future. After 5 o'clock in the evening, he needs to Borrow the lab for independent experiments, so you remember not to lock the door."

Cobot rarely turned his head to look at Victor, but nodded while busy with what he was doing.

He quickly sorted out the utensils, then turned around and walked out the door to leave. Victor followed, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Don't be sad, Cobot, I don't let you do independent experiments because you are now is too young, even younger than him."

"I don't know what's wrong with you guys. Teenagers are planning to conduct such dangerous experiments. When I was your age, I only knew how to read scientific magazines or burn my dad's tires with fire."

"Don't worry too much, child, you should study step by step, go to high school, and then go to college. When you go to college, you will have time to do experiments."

"It takes time for water to freeze into ice, and it takes time for people to grow."

Cobert pursed his lips and said, "No, I'm not jealous of him, just..."

Cobot shook his head. He didn't know how to explain his intuition to Victor. Facing Victor, he was always ashamed to open up about his past. For example, he used to be the killer of the godfather, for example, he killed a lot People, for example, are still killing people.

Whenever he entered a normal life, Cobot felt repulsed by his perverted desire to be outside the society, but whenever he started, he couldn't control himself, and he couldn't quit. The thrill of persecuting and controlling others.

He couldn't tell Victor, because he was this kind of person, so he could keenly feel that the opposite was also such a person, and he couldn't use his dark history as evidence to remind Victor.

He took a deep breath, finally shook his head, said nothing, and left slowly along the corridor.

The sky was getting dark, and after Victor was busy with his work, he said to Lex, who was standing in front of the experimental bench, sorting out the information: "Thank you for your help, now is your free time, and the things you want are also available. Everything is ready, you must remember to pay attention to safety, I will go first."

"Thank you." Lex smiled at Victor, who also shook his head slightly, turned and left.

After Victor left, as the sky was getting darker, Lex concentrated on his experiments. He was preparing a chemical preparation to be launched into the sky to disperse rain clouds.

He has to prepare the shell first, and then prepare the launcher, so now he is conducting chemical experiments first, and then the mechanical manufacturing will be carried out in another laboratory.

Mixing chemical preparations is a job that requires a lot of concentration. He must constantly observe the reaction, and he can't get distracted for a moment. Lex stares attentively at the reaction in the test tube. The cold light of the laboratory shines on his face through the glass of the test tube. Leaving a scar of light.

Suddenly, the shadow covered a part of the light, and Laikes flashed to the side, a sharp knife cut through the blood on his upper arm, and the liquid splattered out.

The test tube was thrown out, and the reagent inside was spilled on the ground. After it came into contact with the ground, it made a sizzling sound and a plume of smoke came out.

With a "click", the entire laboratory fell into darkness. Lex gritted his teeth and turned his head. An extremely gloomy face appeared in the darkness. That was Cobot.

When he appeared in the daytime, it only seemed a little gloomy, and when the night came, that gloomy and crazy temperament reached its peak, he was like a penguin jumping from the surface of the glacier into the water, from slow to fast, from the prey become a predator.

"Are you crazy?! Cooper!

! "Lex shouted: "We just met today, no grudges and no grudges!" "

"It seems that you don't have a correct understanding of your mental state." Cobot said in a hoarse voice: "But I went to a psychiatrist not long ago, and he told me that I was crazy."

Corbett approached Lex with the knife in hand. Lex stepped back, staring at his gloomy and twisted face. Corbot continued:

"More than that, he told me that if I meet someone who looks a lot like me one day, he must be crazy too."

"We are a kind of people, incurable natural killers, so I have to kill you."

Lex thought Cobot was unreasonable. He said, "Why do you call me a murderer? I didn't even kill anyone at all!"

"One day, you will." Although Cobot's figure is thin, the knife he is holding in his hand is flickering with cold light, and it can be seen from his posture that he is not the first time to do this kind of thing. , I know how to use posture to bring pressure to the other side.

Lex gritted his teeth and said, "Sure enough, Gotham people are all lunatics! Don't you need a reason to kill?!"

"I said, because we are the same people, so I have to kill you."

Lex doesn't know what to say anymore, maybe, this reflects the difference between Metropolis and Gotham.

All the villains in Metropolis have a reason to commit crimes. They are either for profit, hatred, or love and pursuit, but they are still committing crimes with ordinary people's logic.

But not Gotham, the madmen of Gotham might kill for having a steak they liked this morning, for some crazy hallucination and baseless intuition.

Many people may think that it is a crazy performance to break through the bottom line of law and morality because of love and hate, but in fact it is not the case. When his behavior can be perfectly connected into a line, it means that he is still logical and not crazy.

True lunatics, whose emotional drive and behavior are completely unrelated, are like the difference between Lex and Cobot.

Because he doesn't agree with Clark's point of view, Lex feels that he hates him so much that he will go to trouble with him, and maybe commit crimes against Clark in the future.

His hatred of Clark created the impetus, and the impetus led to his criminal behavior.

However, Cobot is different from Lex. He is completely unfamiliar with Lex, and he doesn't have any hatred for Lex. He doesn't even know him. To kill Lex, there is no emotion, no motivation, and no logic that can be connected, just a fleeting hallucination, which becomes the reason for him to kill.

All the madmen in Gotham are like this, their actions have no inner logic~www.readwn.com~ So there is no guarantee that no one will be their target, this is the real horror of Gotham, because, you You can't put your life on the line about whether a lunatic got his favorite steak this morning.

Just as Cobot raised the dagger, there was a "snap" sound, and the crisp sound of glass being shattered came from outside the window.

Cobert turned back, and in the moment he turned around, Lex grabbed the test tube rack on the experimental table that was leaning on his back, and threw it towards Cobert.

The test tube rack and the test tube smashed into Cobot's back. The test tube shattered and cut Cobot's skin, and blood flowed out. Cobot turned his head, and the gloom completely turned into ferocity and madness. When raising the dagger again, a low, angry voice came from outside the room:

"Thomas! Stop! Stop your evil deeds!

! "

There was a loud "bang", the sound of heavy objects falling, followed by a few heavy footsteps, "bang", the door of the room where Lex and Cobot were slammed open, a man rushed in.

He was stunned as soon as he came in. He didn't seem to expect that there were other people in the room, and he knew that the soldiers behind him would not give him much time to react, so he hesitated for less than a second in order to escape. , and then charged straight towards Lex.

Lex dodged to the side, but he couldn't dodge at all. The tall man grabbed his arm directly, then restrained him from behind, and he held Lex and turned around.

At this time, the light outside the door followed the open door and left a bright square on the ground inside the house, a black shadow with pointed ears, standing in the square, like a played card.
