Looking at the female guest on the show, Luke asked Ah Fu, "Which hospital is her daughter at?"
Ah Fu said, "Queens Medical Center."
Luke hummed a response and turned the steering wheel to head for Empress Borough Medical Center.
His identity as a detective allowed him to go around New York without attracting attention. With a flash of his badge, it was normal for him to question anyone.
If it was any other superhero, they might be asked about the reason and find clues about the actions of those other superheroes if they did it too often.
Now, Luke was mixed in with his daily work. As a New York detective, it was very common for him to understand and collect intelligence at the grassroots level.
Thousands of detectives in New York were doing the same. Luke was like a drop of … salt water hidden in the sea.
That was also why he couldn't bear to give up his job as a detective.
He could openly investigate New York, the center of Marvel's world, without attracting anyone's attention. He could also obtain a lot of internal information through NYPD. What better identity could there be?
Looking at the hosts on TV and online comments, NYPD had almost been forgotten.
Using a movie line from his previous life, most people's impression of the police in supernatural incidents was "Police, come out to clean up the mess."
As long as the incident was over and the police started to clean up the mess, not many people actually cared about how they cleaned up the mess.
NYPD was still occasionally mentioned, not because they had contributed greatly to the attack on the Experimentals, but because the more than a hundred officers who had died in the line of duty were included among the thousands of victims.
For example, there was a show that said, "NYPD has sacrificed more than a hundred officers. We can see their sacrifice, but what about the superheroes? They just left after fighting the monsters and didn't even stay for a few more minutes to help the people in trouble? NYPD sacrificed so many officers, and the others are still maintaining order and protecting the people. "
Similar comments could be seen on news programs and the Internet.
To put it simply, they didn't talk about how many people the superheroes had protected by killing the Experimentals. Instead, they only talked about what they hadn't done well in the process of protecting the people.
Selina looked unhappy as she flipped through the programs and online comments. "It sounds like they can't wait for the superheroes to not appear and let thousands more people die in New York, right?"
Luke nodded as he drove. "That's right. Who do you think wrote these comments? Of course it's the kind of villain in the movies. "
Selina was stunned. "Are you kidding? They can control the media? "
Luke chuckled. "Most of the time, the villains in the movies are rich and powerful bigwigs. Is it hard for them to use some media resources?"
Selena was speechless.
Politicians and capitalists had always been the main victims of villains, especially in movies.
They were either major villains themselves, or they had forced or created villains themselves. They were the backbone of the villains' faction.
"Don't have any opinions about the people who jumped out. Whether they're the hosts, the victims, or the commenters, they're just tools under someone else's control. Now that you see them flashing their blades at us, you might think it's very hurtful, but in fact, as long as we can control the hilt, the blades can also become our weapons. "
Selina frowned. "But aren't they human?"
Luke sighed. "Most people don't even know that they're tools. Can you expect them to face the world calmly and rationally?"
In fact, there was something deeper that he didn't want to say to Selina, because it was useless.
Humans were social creatures.
To live in this world as a human, most people could only be useful to society, or in other words, tools.
Being in this system, it was too difficult not to be used by others.
Even for some rich second-generation heirs, it was because the rich first generation had earned enough capital for them that they could continue living as useless people.
As for the majority of the general public who did not have a rich father, they were like fish in the river. They were in the river and did not know how to swim.
Only a small number of fish who had the ability to think independently would jump out of the water and observe their living environment from another angle, instead of turning a blind eye to it.
It was unrealistic to expect most people to be so smart, and there was no need to look down on them.
Looking at Selina, who was a little bored, Luke didn't say anything else to comfort her.
It was better not to have high expectations for the general public than to have high expectations and be disappointed.
In some sense, superheroes were like celebrities.
When fans loved you, they would defend you no matter what you did.
When fans hated you, everything you did was wrong.
The difference was that superheroes didn't rely on fans to make a living. Thus, Batman had been cold and aloof from the very beginning, and didn't have fans.
It was commonly known as — lick if you like, scram if you don't.
However, Selina was so easy to comfort because she had been with him for a long time, and her view of things had naturally been affected.
The other "teammates" still had to go their separate ways.
They didn't have any experience as superheroes, and it would be terrible if they really treated those so-called fans as treasures.
As Luke pondered, the car arrived at the hospital.
Luke and Selina went in and questioned a few injured patients in the name of investigating cases.
These cases were all real, and Luke would indeed investigate them.
As he walked, Luke passed the ward where the female guest's daughter was.
Pretending to sort out her statement with Selina, Luke and Selina sat outside the room with their phones for a moment before they got up and left.
After they came out, Luke smiled. There were actually three surveillance cameras in one ward. Apart from the one on the surface, the other two were hidden.
Did the hospital have multiple surveillance cameras? Obviously not.
Secondly, there was a nurse and a male nurse outside the ward, who had clearly changed professions at the last minute.
Luke could clearly smell the gun oil and gunpowder on them from ten meters away.
I'm not afraid of you doing too much, but of you doing nothing! Luke chuckled inwardly.
The next day, everything was calm and peaceful.
A temporary female nurse at Queens Medical Center didn't know that she had told Batman everything after she returned home, including the department she belonged to.
There was also a small splash that nobody mentioned.
The female guest's daughter had woken up, and her head injury had completely disappeared. After the examination, even the attending doctor called it a miracle.
But this incident didn't appear on the news.
The next day, the female guest still appeared on TV and thanked the doctors at Queens Hospital for saving her daughter's life.
She was still as disgusted with Batman and superheroes as ever.
But compared with her previous tears, her performance this time was a little dry, as if she didn't care.
"After all, she's not a professional actress, hehe!" Luke chuckled as he watched the show.
