In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 790: Fatal Joke (17)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
Harvey Dent has been working in Gotham Court, mainly providing legal consulting services.
Before, his situation was not very good, because the gangsters often asked him for advice on serious issues. Most people asked him to get rid of crimes, but since the logistics industry developed, he has been much better.
It is really overthinking to expect gangsters to understand the law. However, to transport goods, it is inevitable to contact other cities, and to sign contracts, you must understand the legal provisions of various places. They are the two most popular professions, and Harvey is no exception.
He is now mainly providing legal consulting services to the Falcone family, and the godfather Falcone does not care that he is unwilling to acquit gang members, as long as he can provide legal services for the Falcone family's logistics industry. Provide the most professional legal assistance, Nafalcone is more than happy to spend money.
When he received Gordon's call, he was still working overtime. Hearing that Bruce had a problem, he hurriedly put down the work at hand, and even asked for tomorrow's leave, and came to Gordon's place.
Harvey and Bruce have always been in contact. The two of them actually have a lot in common, especially in terms of law. The principles of the Light Knight and the Dark Knight are actually similar, and the moral level is also on the same line. The two of them are often in Wayne. Chatting in the manor lasted the whole afternoon.
Harvey is very used to chatting with Bruce and answering various questions, so he didn't show any surprise when he saw the current situation, but sat down beside him familiarly, patted him on the shoulder and said :

"I know, you want to understand the people's sentiments and know how the people of Gotham live, so you came here and experienced it for more than a month, and then found that this matter is more difficult than you imagined Many."
"Everyone here is good in his own way, and everyone is bad in his own way. Poor people must be hateful, but hateful people are also pitiful. Those who condone criminals are not necessarily evil, and those who fight criminals are not necessarily evil. It must be justice, whether to judge the deeds first or the mind first... You can't figure out these questions."
"You find that this world is far more complicated than you imagined, and all the methods you have imagined before cannot solve these problems."
"So you feel that you were childish and ridiculous, wasted too much time, your incomprehension and resentment seemed meaningless, and then, you didn't know what to do...·
Harvey put his arms around Bruce and found that his body was very cold, as if there was no temperature at all. He said, "Tell me, do you think so, Bruce?"
"I just suddenly realized the truth of this world." Bruce replied, his tone was always very calm, and it could even be said to be a little dull, which is also a manifestation of a state of stupor.
"You know? In this month, I have experienced a lot of things. I am not depressed by these bad things, but I find that whenever I feel that my life is getting better, there will be something wrong So deadly, but bad things that still make me fall into the trough appear.
"These bad things are not my fault, but they are out of my control. I am always in a passive situation, and I can't control anything."
"I avoided a lot of traps. I thought I didn't make a wrong choice, but everything fell down unstoppably."
"But what is even more frightening is that I found that I have done well enough that I have not fallen into many traps, such as really treating those drugs as medicine, squandering after having a fixed income, and falling into the abyss of gambling. Gambling debts, borrowing usury but can't repay it, and being injured in direct conflicts with gangsters..."
"I didn't do any of these things. I perfectly avoided these phenomena, but that's only because I have received a good education and have more knowledge than ordinary people. People who live here can really escape Have you passed one trap after another?"
"I have the house that Selena left me, the dozens of dollars she didn't take away, a muscular body and a strong appearance, and the fat and calories accumulated in my previous life, but ordinary people have What?"
"Don't talk about money and houses and muscles, they may be born with drug addiction, born with gambling debts, born with money owed to gangsters."
"Just when I thought I had bottomed out, I imagined more dire possibilities, and then I realized..."
Bruce paused, gave a very stiff smile, and said, "It really only takes one bad day for the average person to completely lose everything."
"No, it doesn't even need a whole day, maybe it's bad weather and you can't go out to work, maybe it's road repairs during the commute, maybe it's bad food and diarrhea, it only takes a few minutes or a few hours , everything is irreparable.”
"Harvey...Harvey..." Bruce called his friend's name in a daze, and he said, "Don't you think this is very scary?"
"In just a few minutes, your life is sliding into the abyss irresistibly, and you can only watch helplessly, but you can't do anything. This is the daily life of everyone here..."
Harvey closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Are you afraid? Bruce, I feel you are afraid, but you're not from here, you don't belong here, you don't get scared because These little things..."
"That's why I feel fear." Bruce said a little stiffly: "How can I appear in everyone's few minutes, so that they don't slide down, but just miss one, There will be one more crazy criminal in this world.”
Harvey lowered his head, looked at the reflection on his leather shoes, and said, "I told you a long time ago that this road doesn't have to come to the end to be meaningful."
"How far and how fast you have walked will not change because of when you gave up." Harvey pursed his lips and said, "If you feel that you have done too little before, then Just do a little more, but don't feel afraid that you can't finish it, and don't feel pain because of it..."
Harvey patted Bruce's arm and said: "I have suffered as much as you, because at that time, I discovered that the law actually does not allow everyone to get a fair trial, it is not a panacea .”
"There is no one person, system, or social existence in this world that is perfect. If you can see the length of the road with your naked eyes, the decision you have to make is whether to go or give up. Rather than how far to go.”
Harvey looked at Bruce, but Bruce remained silent. At this moment, a car suddenly appeared at the end of the street. Harvey squinted his eyes. He found that he seemed to have seen this car in the garage of Wayne Manor car.
And when the high beams were turned off, Harvey saw Alfred's face in the driver's seat.
Gordon, who was standing aside, gave Harvey a wink, and he said, "We still have work to do, so we're leaving first. Your housekeeper is here to pick you up. Go back with him."
"Sleep well, everything will pass."
After Gordon's voice fell, Gotham started to rain again, and the patter of light rain drifted to the top of Bruce's head, and he began to shiver again, but it was not shivering from the cold, he could no longer feel the cold.
He felt himself very hot, very aroused, a joyful emotion that he had never felt surged in his chest.
When the shadow of the umbrella Alfred was holding covered his head, he calmed down a little. Alfred looked at his state and the wound on his face, and said nothing, he was silent After a while, he said, "Master, let's go back, Aisha and Dick are waiting for you."
At this moment, Bruce looked at Alfred as if he had grasped a life-saving straw and asked: "Is there really no perfect system in this world?"
Alfred stood where he was, and there was a stream of rainwater between him and Bruce. Haggard,
"Yes, sir, there is no perfect system in this world." Alfred replied, and Bruce didn't hear any hesitation in this answer. Common sense.
Alfred turned his head and looked towards the end of the alley, where the neon lights shone on the puddles, making the small puddles more colorful than the sea. He said:
"There is no perfect system in this world, because there are no perfect people in this world, and people are subject to change."
Alfred lowered his eyes, looked at Bruce and said: "But also, many imperfect people want to create a perfect system, and they think they have succeeded, while later people feel that they don't need it. Try harder, as long as you follow this rule, everything will be as they wish, so..."
Alfred shook his head and did not continue, but Bruce said, "Do you want me to go back, Alfred?"
Bruce thought he would get a positive answer right away, but unexpectedly, Alfred paused and said:
"Master, I hope to leave here with your soul instead of just a body. If you want to stay here to find answers, then take this umbrella and stop catching a cold .”
Alfred handed the umbrella to Bruce, and Bruce looked up at him, but didn't immediately reach out to take it, he looked at it for a while, and then said: "Don't you want to say something to me? "
"What do you want to hear?"
"Don't you have some solution for me?" Bruce asked, he didn't make it too straightforward, but Alfred still got it, he said: "Haven't you read Marxism before?" Are there any related books?"
"If you really believed in it and wanted to take this path, you wouldn't be looking for answers here now." Alfred shook his head and said, "Marxists are not missionaries, no one I will walk down the street and hand you a book to let you know what's in it."
Alfred's tone was very respectful, but his words were very straightforward. He said: "You are looking for a shortcut from me, but in fact this is not a shortcut. The answer to all questions, get rid of all pain, and move forward."
"This kind of behavior runs counter to Marxism and is more like theology. There are no shortcuts or unique answers here."
"On the contrary, in the process of understanding, learning, and deconstructing this doctrine, there will be more similar pains." Alfred added: "It's like writing a thesis."
In the end, Alfred left anyway, and Bruce sat on the side of the road with his umbrella, and after the excitement subsided a bit, he didn't want to laugh so much anymore.
However, that absurd and funny feeling still surrounded him, and he didn't know when he would laugh out loud.
After Alfred returned to Wayne Manor, he didn't rest immediately. He picked up the phone and called an unfamiliar number.
"Hello? Hello, is this Miss Maggie? I'm Alfred, the housekeeper of Wayne Manor~IndoMTL.com~Miss Selena left your phone number..."
"Yes, I hope you can help me contact Miss Selena, I don't have her contact information now..."
"Bruce's condition is very bad, he may suffer from some kind of traumatic stress disorder, we can't stop his hyperactive behavior now, but Miss Selina may be able to..."
"Yes, I know that they had some conflicts, but I think it is necessary to tell her, in case something happens, both of them feel regretful."
"Okay, I will wait for your message, thank you."
Maggie in the apartment hung up the phone and sighed.
She knew that Bruce's trip to the slums would not go well, but what she didn't expect was that the consequences would be so serious.
Bruce Wayne has a mental problem, and he is not the only one affected. Although Maggie has never read a book, she can still live in the slums in such a weak body. She is very good at life Wise.
She did fight for her good sister, and felt that Bruce had neglected Selena during this time, but she also knew that if she really didn't tell Selena about this, Selena might be hurt if something went wrong in the future. Resent her, after all, she can also see that the two of them have been on and off, and they still have feelings for each other.
In the end, Maggie still called Selena, and just as she expected, she had already sneaked into the crew. Selena, who got a role, rushed back to Gotham after hearing the news.
After Alfred and Hal drove the Bat Fighter and brought her back, Selena found Bruce immediately.
And gave him a slap in the face.
