Chapter 14 Arkham Asylum

　　In the outskirts of Gotham City, there is a huge manor filled with gothic style, although the scale and design are extremely gorgeous, but now as soon as it is mentioned, everyone associates it with the dark courtyard, deep corridors, dark nights with lightning and thunder, and those windows through the yellow light and the trick screams. 　　This ...... is "Arkham Asylum". 　　It's an unlucky place, and all of Gotham is convinced of that. 　　In fact, a long time ago, this place was built as a large general hospital, but before the completion of the construction, the chief architect inexplicably went crazy and committed suicide, and before he died, he also cut down all the workers here. 　　After a while, this place was bought by a psychiatrist and remodeled into a large psychiatric hospital, but soon after, a patient named Martin suddenly went crazy again and killed all the wives and children of this expert ...... 　　Six months later, Martin's body is found, having been electrocuted alive in his own hospital bed, and at the same time, it's revealed that the psychiatrist had in fact gone mad a long time ago as well. 　　Well, in fact, by this time, this psychiatric hospital had been converted by that specialist into a prison that smelled of gloom. 　　Not long after that, the expert died, and the government simply turned this place into an official facility, and named it "Arkham Asylum" after the psychiatrist, and its purpose was to hold those vicious criminals. 　　Yes, it's not a hospital, but a prison. 　　...... 　　...... 　　On this day, Arkham Asylum, welcomed a new patient of its own. 　　Outside the holding area, two uniformed guards pushed a rusty, flat bed forward down a black corridor. 　　On the bedpan lay a man with messy hair, under thirty years old, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, his arms and legs were all handcuffed to the bed with sturdy steel hoops, his body and even his head were tightly tied with restraint straps, and a special mask was fastened below his nose, jamming his chin, causing the man to be unable to even open his mouth right now. 　　In fact, for a newly admitted inmate, not even letting his mouth open was indeed a bit too much, because wouldn't it be impossible to even ask questions, but Arkham Asylum was really considered to be the most concentrated place of talent in Gotham, and it was rumored that some years ago, there was a newly admitted inmate, who had somehow managed to get his back teeth down, and then" The "poof" of the mouth is incredibly accurate spit to a guard's eyeballs, resulting in the guard directly retired pension, so since then, the mask has become the standard of Arkham prisoners bound outfit. 　　...... 　　At the end of the black corridor was a large door made of steel, covered with steel bars the thickness of a full thigh, giving the impression that you couldn't even try to get it open as easily as if you'd just find the wall next to it and get your hands on it. 　　But instead of heading straight for the door, the flatbed truck made a U-turn and pushed into a room that looked like an office. 　　The flatbed truck was then stood up, and Zi Liang saw that directly in front of him was an office desk with a middle-aged man sitting behind it. He was not wearing a prison guard's uniform, but a suit, with a smile that was somewhere between playfulness and cruelty at the corners of his mouth, and at the moment, he was holding a report and flipping through it carelessly. 　　Seeing this prisoner being pushed in, he casually threw the report onto the table and looked at the other party. 　　"Hello Zira, first time meeting, I'm the warden here, Quincy Sharp." He said with a smile, "I'm sorry that I didn't read the information about you carefully, but I can be sure that the fact that you can come here means that you are a vicious, violent and wanton fellow who doesn't deserve any sympathy, and who has problems with his brain, and I'm used to uniformly referring to you all as the ...... scum of the earth. " 　　He said, stood up and walked towards Zi Liang, one could tell that this Quincy Sharp was a very well mannered and even a little bit obsessive-compulsive guy, although his hair wasn't much, it was combed meticulously, and the edges of his clothes were tucked in very neatly. 　　"You should have already realized that the door in front of you is the last door to the prison area, and according to the usual practice, I need to meet with every new inmate, and by the way, I will popularize some trivia ...... or how to survive here with them." 　　His eyes swept over Zira's face, oozing obvious distaste at the sight of his cocktail-like hair. 　　"First things first, the first thing I'm going to tell you is that you're a lifer, as are most of the people who make it here ...... so as soon as you walk through that door you'll no longer be yourself, whatever you had will be far away from you, there's no right to parole, there will be no have notice of a court trial, there are only two ways to get out of that door, first, you die, second, you escape." 　　After Quincy Sharp said the word jailbreak, he suddenly stopped and stared straight at Zi Liang ...... for a while before continuing. 　　"Maybe you're excited after hearing about escaping from prison, or even you've already figured out how to escape from prison on the way to being sent here, but unfortunately, no matter how much of a 'come and go as you please' Arkham Asylum you once heard about, ever since I've taken over as warden. There hasn't been a single successful escape from this place." 　　"Secondly, upon entering that door, you will lose all the most basic powers of a citizen, freedom, human rights, all of them are taken away, and you must respect everyone who is not wearing a prison uniform, because they are all your masters, and if you don't follow the rules we'll punish you, and if you glare at one of the guards we'll punish you too... ...in fact we'll punish you for making strange noises after lights out, spitting, leftovers, peeing too much, or being too ugly to get anyone in a bad mood, the only thing you can do is try to be nice, and by the way, there's a famous prison doctor who's been doing a lot of research on 'electrotherapy'.... , but I guess you wouldn't want to know him." 　　"Thirdly, there is a tradition passed down in Arkham Asylum that every new arrival will go through a welcoming ceremony, of course, it's not a welcome that we've prepared for you, it's the inmates in there ...... As for how far they'll welcome you, I don't know, but the guards generally are not going to care, so I will give you one piece of advice, and that is, I hope that after supper you will spend more of your strength in crying ...... than in asking for help. That statement is the last thing I'll ever care for you." 　　Quincy Sharp chuckled. 　　"Finally then, welcome to Arkham Asylum."
