I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Without thinking, he ran in the opposite direction.

Seeing this, the electrician was displeased and said, "Jonathan, what are you doing, you piece of trash? Get back to Depp and deal with him!"

He was unaware that the Scarecrow's extreme fear from facing Depp had broken him from the electric shock brainwashing, and he continued to boss the Scarecrow around.

Therefore, the scarecrow, no longer under its control, completely ignored the electrician's orders.

He fled the scene as fast as he could, and as he passed by the electrocutors and the others, he spat out a large amount of terrifying poison gas at them.

The Electrocutioner, Hugo Strange, and Victor Zaszczuk were all caught off guard and inhaled the Fear Gas.

The man being electrocuted yelled, "Jonathan, you idiot, do you even know what you're doing... Mom! No!!"

The three experienced completely different hallucinations, but without exception, they were all things that terrified them the most deep in their hearts.

The scarecrow, which had been scared away by Depp, suddenly killed all three of the electrocuted men.

This is simply the difference between top-tier and second- or third-tier villains in DC Comics.

Depp first had Grandy tie up the Electrocution Man, Hugo Strange, and Victor Zasquez, while he himself flew away on the wind to chase after the fleeing Scarecrow.

Depp flew to the Scarecrow's side and expressed his appreciation for the Scarecrow's act of sacrificing his own family for the greater good.

"Listen to me, thank you. Because of you, Gotham is warmed."

After performing the song of repaying kindness with enmity, Depp grabbed the emotionally distraught scarecrow and flew back to the antique shop entrance.

By this time, Grandi had already tied up all of the Electrocutors, but beside them was a guy with slicked-back blond hair, wearing a neat suit, and his team behind him.

"This is?"

Depp put on the Introductory Mirror and looked at the group.

Jason Köhler, Gotham City Mayoral Candidate

Key abilities: Economic and political acumen.

Intimacy level: Strangers.

[Wenger Hill] Jason's Secretary

Main abilities: beauty and sex appeal.

Intimacy level: Strangers.

As for the group of guys with cameras behind them, they were reporters from several Gotham newspapers.

It turned out to be Jason, one of Oswald's rivals and a candidate for mayor of Gotham City.

Depp narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that all of this seemed too coincidental.

Jason's involvement in the election, the escape of patients from Arkham Asylum, and... now, Jason and his entourage, accompanied by reporters, have arrived at his doorstep on time.

This is just too much of a coincidence!

To be honest, if it weren't for the information shown by the Mirror of Trust, Depp would have thought that Jason and Wenger were actually the Joker and Harley Quinn in disguise.

But the information revealed by the Mirror of Introduction dispelled Depp's idea.

the other side,

Jason grabbed the man being electrocuted by the collar and roared, "You damn scum, why did you destroy my city!"

He pointed to an antique shop not far away and said, "Look at what you've done to these innocent residents!"

As he spoke, Jason maintained his gesture of pointing at the antique shop, turning his angry face toward the reporters beside him.

The group immediately understood and started snapping photos with their cameras.

After filming was finished, Jason punched the electrocuted man in the face a few times, then wiped the blood off his hands, smiled and nodded at Depp not far away, and left.

Seeing Jason's dramatic change in expression, Depp secretly gave him a thumbs up.

"Damn it, when it comes to acting skills and putting on a show, these professionals are the real experts."

"It has to be said that Oswald still needs to work on this aspect."

Jason made a deep impression on Depp; Oswald's strongest competitor was indeed a tough opponent.

How to ensure Oswald's victory in the election seems to be more complicated than initially thought, leaving Depp somewhat bewildered.

At the Iceberg Club, Oswald stomped on the ventriloquist doll and then used a laser fired from his umbrella to turn the damned possessed doll into a pile of ashes.

After Jason left, Selena dragged Gordon and Harvey back to the antique shop.

With a thud, Selena threw the two tin men to the ground and then jumped into Depp's arms.

“Honey, these two guys have been poisoned by fear gas and need an antidote.”

Upon hearing this, Depp pried open their metal helmets to examine them, then immediately went back inside and quickly took out the prepared Fear Venom neutralizer, dripping it into Harvey and Gordon's mouths with a dropper.

Gordon and Harvey slowly regained consciousness, still shaken by the hallucinations created by the toxic gas.

That was a fear from the deepest part of your heart, one that you yourself didn't even remember.

But the fear of the poison gas would rouse them from the deepest recesses of their consciousness, a feeling no one wants to recall.

They exchanged a glance, and Gordon gave a wry smile: "I thought I was going to save the city, but I ended up being the one who needs to be saved. I really am a drag on the team."

Harvey also said, "I'm not even as good as you. In close combat, I was beaten so badly by those monsters that I could barely fight back. If it weren't for this armor, I would have been turned into mincemeat long ago."

Depp comforted him, saying, "Don't say that. Your main responsibilities are different from Batman's. Your battlefield is not here, but in the police station and the courthouse."

The two nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this; Depp's words seemed to have awakened something within them.

Harvey was the first to stand up. He took off his armor and said, "Depp, you're right. My battlefield is in the courtroom. I'll send all these guys to where they belong!"

Seeing Gordon still deep in thought, Depp said, "Without you, the Gotham Police Department would still be colluding with the mob, but since you came along, the Gotham Police Department has gradually changed and become a place that upholds justice for the people of Gotham."

"If Batman is Gotham's Dark Knight, then you, Gordon, are undoubtedly the Light Knight who gives hope to the people of Gotham!"

"The Knight of Light?" Gordon said with a sudden realization. "Depp, thank you for giving me confidence and direction."

Afterwards, Gordon and Selena accompanied Gordon as he escorted Electrocutor and the others to the Gotham City Police Department.

Inside the police station, several officers were having a major headache dealing with a homeless man who had some intellectual disabilities.

Depp turned his head and was startled by the information above the man's head.

Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the First French Empire

Main abilities: Great military and political leader.

Intimacy level: Strangers.

This guy... is he Napoleon reincarnated?!

Depp stared blankly at the ragged homeless man, who then said:

"Sir, I have said it many times, I am Napoleon Bonaparte, the first Emperor of France!"

"If each of you is willing to give me one hundred dollars, when I have raised ten thousand dollars, you can cross the sea to find the treasure I once buried. When I conquer the world, I will definitely promote you to higher ranks and titles!"

Detective Brock, standing nearby, sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "Damn it, why is Hu En causing trouble again!"

Upon hearing this, Depp asked, "Huhn? Isn't this guy called Napoleon Panama?"

"To hell with that damn Napoleon Panama!" Block said angrily. "That guy is a complete delusional patient. At first we thought he was joking, but then we realized that he had completely fooled himself. He now really believes that he is that damn first emperor of France, Napoleon!"

Gordon agreed, “That’s right. Our investigation revealed that this guy’s real name is Huenkos, a homeless man with mental health issues.”

"In other words, this guy's long-term delusions have successfully brainwashed him. Does this guy named Hu En really believe he is Napoleon?"

“That’s right,” Gordon said.

Upon hearing this answer, Depp fell silent.

If this is true, then it means that while the Mirror of Introduction can see the disguised information of these people, it cannot see through what even the people involved believe?

If someone is brainwashed or hypnotized, making them believe from the bottom of their heart that they are another person.

Therefore, the Mirror of Introduction couldn't see through his disguise, because he truly believed he was someone else...

So that makes sense... damn it!

Jason Keller and Wengerhill could very well be the Joker and Harley Quinn!

They can fool everyone by thoroughly hypnotizing themselves before each trip out of the asylum.

Furthermore, when hypnotized, one will not make any mistakes in behavior.

If the person being hypnotized receives a specific suggestion to dispel the hypnosis, then the original Joker and Harley personalities can be restored.

I almost got tricked!

Depp sighed inwardly.

However, new problems have arisen. Now we know that Jason might be the Joker, and the escape from Arkham Asylum and Jason's mayoral campaign are basically consistent.

But Depp has no solid evidence to prove all of this, and the Joker's goal in becoming the mayor of Gotham must be to pull off something big.

If the Joker were to become the mayor of Gotham, then Gotham would undergo a terrifying transformation.

If he wanted to stop all of this... Depp already had the answer in his heart: it was Janicole, the woman who was still unconscious in the bathtub.

Back at the antique shop, Wellen happened to be returning with the Mad Hatter and Poison Ivy.

Depp had Wellen carry them upstairs first, then quickly went to check on Jenny, whose muscles and nerves had mostly recovered, in the bathtub.

He felt that Jenny's recovery was still too slow. Even if it took another fifty days, let alone five days until the election, Jenny might not be fully recovered.

With that in mind, Depp felt he had to speed things up for Jenny's resurrection!

Looking at the pale green water in the bathtub and Jenny lying in it without skin, Depp already had an idea.

That is to mix his blood, which contains extremely high purity Dionysus factor, into the bathtub to accelerate Jenny's resurrection.

Without hesitation, Depp took out a dagger and slashed his wrist.

Well, it wasn't cut at all, but that's to be expected, considering I have Hulk-level stamina and defense.
