A quarter past eleven in the morning, west of Gotham City, suburban village
[Dent] accompanied [Robin] to the landlord's warehouse to check the stored belongings; [Cercy] stayed in the car and contacted the manager of the East Asia region of the "Magic Eye Trading Platform" - [Tomi Anato]
Circe (mobile phone communication): "(Discussing the sale of "Magic Eye")Okay, that's it, say goodbye (¤µ¤è¤Ê¤é). "¡ª¡ªHang up the phone with a smile
Dent: "The sale of the "Magic Eye" went smoothly? "¡ª¡ªReturn
Circe: "Well, you guys came back so quickly ([Robin] is missing) Where is [Robin]?"
Dent: "He is still bargaining with the landlord over the storage fees for his belongings."
Circe: "Then why did you come back first?"
Dent: "The landlord is an experienced veteran. Not only did the lease contract be strict and precise, but when he was cleaning, moving, and storing [Robin]'s home, he videotaped the entire process to keep evidence. There was also a sticker on the only door of the warehouse. I can¡¯t find any flaws in the seal, and legally I can¡¯t help [Robin] in any way.¡±
Circe: "I can't help him legally, but you can help him negotiate the price."
Dent: "He is about to become a nouveau riche, why does he still care about that little money?"
Circe: "Nouveau riche?" - puzzled
Dent: "You too, as a middleman, you made a lot of money this time, right?" - point out
Circe: "What are you making money for? It's not even a thing yet."
Dent: "How can you be so active about missing a shadow? I think you already knew it, and you just pretended not to know."
Circe: "Look at what you said, why should I pretend?"
Dent: "Of course it's to make more money from [Robin]. If you tell [Robin] the true value of the "Magic Eye" he owns from the beginning, you won't be able to ask him for huge channel fees. . "
Circe: ¡°You call ¡®twenty percent¡¯ a huge amount! ? I usually charge "30%", which is already a friendly price! "¡ª¡ªprotest against an injustice
Dent: "As long as [Robin]'s "Magic Eye" is sold for a sky-high price, the "20%" channel fee will naturally rise with the tide and become a huge amount. "
Circe: "If [Robin]'s "Magic Eye" is really sold for a sky-high price, it is indeed what you said, but don't forget, whether [Robin]'s "Magic Eye" can be sold for a sky-high price is not mine. It's controllable. "¡ª¡ªrefute
Dent: "You can't control it? (sneer) There are not too many methods such as "accompanying the bid", "collaborating with the bid", and "rigging the bid". I can't point them out one by one. Moreover, the "buyers" who can go to the "Magic Eye Trading Platform" to buy "Magic Eyes" are just like you, they are all experts who truly know the goods, and good things will definitely be sold at good prices. "
Circe: "Although I am an expert in identifying goods, I do not have the ability to identify "Magic Eyes" and cannot determine whether [Robin]'s "Magic Eyes" are "high-end products." ¡±¡ª¡ªstill doesn¡¯t admit it
Dent: "You're lying. Even a layman like me, a witchcraft layman, can see that [Robin's] "Magic Eye" is extraordinary and cannot be compared to ordinary "Magic Eyes". "
Circe: "Oh? Can you tell me, [Robin]'s "Magic Eye" is so unusual? "
Dent: "You said before that the abilities covered by the "Magic Eye" include binding, coercion, contract, burning, hallucination, bad luck, charm, suggestion, etc. Some of them can even see the past or the future. "
Circe: "Yes, I said this."
Dent: "Magic eyes" such as "binding, coercion, contract, burning, hallucination, bad luck, charm, and suggestion" can be achieved by witchcraft or technology; "future vision" and "past vision" are the same. The powerful "Magic Eye" can only observe the "time dimension" in the "four-dimensional space-time". The "four-dimensional space-time" is only the lowest dimension that constitutes the real world (the theory of relativity); and [Robin]'s "Magic Eye" But he can observe the clone of [Hecate] - this "high-dimensional" existence, its potential value is unfathomable. ¡±¡ª¡ªUse known information to analyze and confirm
Circe: "Since you saw it, why didn't you tell me before, but now you tell me alone?"
Dent: "It's very simple, I want a share of the pie."
Circe: "(Accident)how much do you want to share?"
Dent: "(holds out five fingers)"
Circe: "(trembling)five points?"
Dent: "" - nodded
Circe: "Huh~ (relieved) I thought you wanted "fifty percent". "
Dent: "[Robin]'s "Magic Eye" is auctioned for "five percent" of the amount. "
Circe: "Huh? You want channels"Twenty-five percent" of the fee! ? ¡±¡ª¡ªmeatache
Dent: "This is already a friendship price."
Circe: "I can't tell that you are so greedy for money."
Dent: "Oh, this is all because I have no money. The house I live in is the dormitory of my work unit, and the car I drive is borrowed from you I really want to be like you, buying a car is like buying a piece of clothing. Whatever you want, buy it without blinking an eye." - Envy turns into lemon essence
Circe: "(observation, thinking) No, this is not your intention."
Dent: "This is my true intention, don't think of me so arrogantly."
Circe: "Who thinks you are noble? You are an ambitious guy. The word noble has nothing to do with you. I am referring to your purpose, and getting a piece of the pie is just a cover-up for you."
Dent: "Oh? What do you think my real purpose is?"
Circe: "(shakes head)I don't know, I can't see through you."
Dent: "Then I'll continue to remain mysterious."

At the same time, Arkham Asylum, emergency room
Emergency doctor: "Intern, please calm down (Check [Hailey]'s pupil reaction) Take a deep breath That's it." - Carry out rescue and determine whether to inject [Hailey] with a sedative
Hailey: "(tied to the hospital bed)Iwhat'swhat's wrong?" - Follow the doctor's instructions and adjust your breathing
Emergency doctor: "You just had a panic attack."
Hailey: "Panic attack" - Gradually calming down
Emergency doctor: "Yesif you calm down, we will let you gook?"
Hailey: "" - nodded
Emergency doctor: "(Seeing that [Hailey's] breathing has returned to normal) Please introduce yourself."
??Hailey: "My name is [Hailey], a native of Gotham. I have two brothers at home, and my parents are retired. I was a very naughty child in school" - Want to start the narrative from the beginning
Emergency doctor: "Wait a moment (interruption) Can you tell us something that we also know? We can't verify your family and personal matters in a short time."
Hailey: "Yes. During the college entrance examination, I was admitted to the criminal psychology major of Gotham D.C. College with the first score in the city, and then received a scholarship for four consecutive years."
Emergency doctor: "Your grades are so good, why do you want to intern at Arkham Psychiatric Hospital?"
Hailey: "The department head and teachers came to talk to me"
Emergency doctor: "No need to go into details (interrupts again) What made you give up your school life and come to Arkham Asylum to do research and classify a group of lunatics?"
Haley: "I think this work is important. We study psychopathic criminals, and their behavior and motivations have always been of intense interest. But my previous research subjects were white-collar, civil servant criminals, who were extremely monotonous and difficult to detect. , so it¡¯s a rare opportunity to study a group of incarcerated mentally ill offenders. And I think"
Emergency doctor: ¡°Do you think you might be able to make a difference?¡±
Hailey: "Yes."
Emergency doctor: "It's good to be ambitious and dare to take challenges, but you must also do your best" - Signaling the nurse to loosen [Hailey]'s restraints
Hailey: "Yeah."
Emergency doctor: "We have contacted [Professor Yu Guo] and he will come to take you home. You should have a good rest here first."
Hailey: "Thank you." - Lie down on your back, close your eyes and relax
