"Bang"

A group of newspapers mixed with rotten leaves was smashed on the brightly painted glass door of the street, violently shaken, and even brought up a cry, so more things were smashed there On the shop.

The staff of the shop hides behind the door in awe, looking at the demonstrators passing by, and even the stains smashed on the door dare not wash them immediately.

Everyone knows why today ’s parade is crazier, because someone died last night, Joker said it was necessary, Batman did n’t take off his mask one day, someone in this city would die for him, anyone appeared Such a madman will make people scared and crazy.

But they ignored, Batman saved 2 people from Joker last night.

The whole Gotham central district is full of people. The parade is always full of passion. They waved their arms, holding up crude slogans and making roars that they could not hear. Those voices did not get together. A more powerful sound is formed, but it is mixed with it, and it becomes a worse noise.

Boring.

"Let Batman get out!"

"Why should we die for him!"

"Let him take off the **** mask!"

"We want to live!"

They crossed the prosperous first avenue, and the final destination was downstairs in the mayor ’s office, as if to completely surround this poor building, they roared, and after more people, they began to Something in his hand hit the police guarding the door.

The heavy police wear a hood and ca n’t see their expressions, but from their indifferent appearance, they can feel their thoughts ... these stupid guys.

However, the demonstrators thought that this was to let Mayor Nestor see their power and tried to use voice and action to urge the City Hall to come up with a solution, but the reality is that Mayor Nestor was not in the office at all. .

They are just venting their anger and fear towards the air, disguising themselves as a pioneer of a fair cause and devoting themselves ... under the glorious appearance, they stand together one by one The cowardly soul is so cowardly that he is not willing to bear even a little risk.

The reporters were standing outside the excited parade crowd, and they even more excitedly reported the intensified parade action in Gotham city. They wanted things to be more confusing and Batman stood up to beat these guys into meat sauce.

But not for justice, but for more powerful news.

Politicians used the march to attack Mayor Nestor ’s policies. Merchants took the opportunity to raise prices, and even gangsters who were scared by the red devil stunned the crowd.

Everyone here gets what they want from this parade. Only the citizens of the parade, they do n’t even know what they are doing.

This is the group, they are not good at reasoning, but eager to take action; they are impulsive, irritable, susceptible to suggestion and credulity; their wisdom is lower than individual wisdom; they are full of primitive violence and bloodthirsty desires, Even their moral level is very poor.

As Cyber said, "Once you are integrated into the crowd, you will infect their movements, habits, and ways of thinking, and do something ridiculous but unknowing."

It's like a farce.

"I know there is a pusher behind this incident, but I ca n’t imagine why the situation has deteriorated to such an extent for 3 days?"

Mayor Nestor stood in the office of the police station. In front of him was the branch chiefs of the Gotham districts, as well as the 7 sergeants of the head office, and Robin was absent. The police ’s gaze crossed the two empty positions from time to time. Deng and Lauber, that should be their leaders, but they have died in their duties.

In the face of the angry and anxious mayor, Gordon ’s most trusted Sheriff Smith pondered for a moment and said,

"Mr. Mayor, this matter is actually more complicated than you think. During these two days of surveillance, we found a large number of gangsters, they even appeared as the backbone of the parade ... we have reasons Suspicion, this is a wave against Batman's that Joker rejected, the purpose is to force him to stand up and show his identity. "

The reason is very reasonable. The mayor nodded. He is not a stupid person, but when it comes to his position and power, even selfless people will feel anxious. He sits in a chair, Cut the cigar in hand,

"Why not catch them?"

Smith's expression dimmed,

"Our police force is not enough. In Gordon ..., the security situation in the whole city has deteriorated again, and the police officers have been assigned to patrol in various regions, and we are worried that once the operation is carried out, it will be used by Joker in case it happens. Large-scale injury incidents have reduced the credibility of the entire Gotham municipal government to the lowest point in history. You should be able to guess that it will be a real disaster. "

Neste stopped talking, his face changed quickly, and finally, he sighed,

"Look at our people, they are now fragile as if they were sent to the slaughterhouse, and there is no leader sheep, Batman did not say anything?"

Sheriff Smith shook his head,

"No, and I do n’t think he should stand up, Mr. Mayor, although his behavior is illegal, we ca n’t ignore it. In the past year, it was because he was there, our The order in the city is biased towards stability. I never believe that we handed over Batman, Joker will be willing to take it easy. I have been in contact with too many villains like this, they will only get in the way, and they will see us when they are weak. Treat it as meat on a felt board. "

The sheriff's tone is clanging, he looks at the mayor,

“I request that all TV broadcasts of Gotham be immediately banned from playing threatening videos of Joker, which will cause these people who worry about their safety to fall into even crazier anxiety. He is using our fears, Mr. Mayor, he is destroying us Will! "

In response to this request, Mayor Nestor hesitated. After ten seconds, he raised his head and looked at Smith and others,

"Do you know what this means?"

"Mr. Mayor, we are not cheating the citizens!"

Sheriff Smith said, "In these three days, we have lost 3 brave policemen and 7 innocent citizens. We have reason to believe that the madness of Joker will continue, but if we really give in Well, we handed over Batman ... we gave the last sword that could protect us to our opponents. Although we are very reluctant to admit it, the fact is that we ca n’t get Joker by relying solely on the police He can no longer be allowed to destroy the will of this city. "

"Or you can order the National Guard to enter the city to maintain order, which is the best way I can think of."

"National Guard?"

Mayor Nestor brightened his eyes. He cut the cigar in his hand on the table. After a few minutes, he said,

"Yes, I authorize you to block any news about Joker ... In addition, I will let the National Guard enter the city, but you have to cooperate well, and can not cause the people to panic again. I believe that soldiers with live ammunition will Bringing confidence to the restless people, I do n’t think that Joker can deal with those soldiers ... Yes, let the TV station broadcast the picture of the National Guard entering the city. I think this can stabilize the people ’s heart. "

At the same time, on the 25th floor of the Wayne building, Bruce, Rachel, Alfred, and Lucius also sat in the living room, watching the parade action broadcast by the Gotham TV station, and seeing the slogans, Bruce ’s eyes became bleak, Rachel held his hand and wanted to give him some confidence.

"Now broadcast a news! Mayor Nestor signed an order 15 minutes ago that the National Guard will send 500 soldiers into Gotham to maintain the current worsening urban order ..."

"Call"

Alfred breathed a sigh of relief. He said to others, "Nestor finally did something he should do."

"But I doubt the soldiers can deal with Joker."

Lucius frowned and said, "From the current form, this guy's manipulation of people's hearts is simply top-notch. Looking at the storms he caused, people see that every day someone is killed because of Batman. Naturally they feel fear, but they are completely unaware that the number of people who die every day due to conflict in Gotham is not even one fifth of a year ago. They feel that things are getting worse, but in fact, it has been Get better. "

"We ca n’t ask the people to calm down, especially this kind of thing for everyone. No one knows who will die next. Joker just grasps the weakness in human nature and magnifies it. Like a devil. "

Rachel said bitterly, "He is transferring this pressure to Bruce, this bastard!"

"Bruce, what do you think?"

Alfred looked at his young master, as one of the closest people, he faintly felt the inner struggle of Bruce, and faced with this problem, Bruce relieved, he looked at the restless crowd on the screen, he said ,

"I originally wanted to encourage the right things and encourage positive things, not crazy, not death!"

He bowed his head a little tiredly, he covered his face, "I messed up, I even released him personally, sometimes I really envy Cyber, if I can have no principle like him, all this is simply It will not happen. "

No one speaks. They know that Bruce has made a decision. For a stubborn person, he will not easily change his mind because of the language of others.

"Rachel, remember what I said to you before?"

"This city already has its own hero, it is time to make Batman history ... I know what Joker will do, I will wait for him, this time ..."

Bruce's face showed a certain firmness, "I won't let him run away again."

He looked at Rachel, stroked her hair, and said softly, "Then we can continue to live as Bruce Wayne, and Harvey will do the things that I can't do for me."

"This will be the last battle of Batman's. Ducard has taught me. There is a sentence in the East. I will die and be born. I know what I should do, and I know what I really want."

Later, the busy Harvey Dent in the prosecutor ’s office received a strange call,

"Who are you?"

The intensified riots in the past three days have put great pressure on the prosecutor ’s office. Harvey Dent is a friendly Batman party. As a person who believes in law and justice, he exceeded his own rules for the first time and chose to stand. The city Robin Han this side.

But his emotions are still very irritable, not only because of stress, but also because Rachel has made it clear that she will get married with Bruce in the near future, poor Harvey is falling out of love, and people in love are always grumpy, He asked aloud,

"How do you know my phone number?"

But a hoarse voice came from that one. Harvey heard the voice more than once, and his spirit immediately tightened. He knew that it was Batman.

"You are a symbol of hope, I can never do it!"

"Harvey, you stand up against criminal syndicates. You are the first legal light of hope for Gotham in decades. You do n’t need to wear a mask to protect this city. You are more qualified than me Hero. "

"Joker wants me ... I take off my mask, stand up and fight him, Harvey, and schedule a press conference tomorrow morning."

"What!"

The voice of Harvey Dent immediately rang, so excited, so angry,

"You ca n’t do this! You ca n’t confess to him! You ca n’t confess to a miscellaneous person! You ’re doing the right thing, you ca n’t just bow your head like this, I heard this city from the first day I entered the city How people praise you, but look at you now, you actually surrender! "

"This is not surrender, Harvey ... I just want to end this dangerous game with human life as a bet, I will catch him, I swear!"

Bruce whispered, "This will be the last battle of Batman's, you will be my best assistant, Harvey, do n’t take it easy, if someone sees you like this, see you sympathize with a city ranger who violates the law All my efforts have been abandoned, and all the criminals caught by you will be released ... everything is meaningless. "

"My friend, do n’t forget Gordon ’s sacrifice, take my banner, and help me protect it in your way, let the wicked conquer the law, and let the good survive."

The expression of Harvey has solidified. He does n’t know what to say. The dream of superhero as if, which has been raised since childhood, is disillusioned at this moment, but at the same time, another kind of faith breeds.

He put down the phone and leaned on the chair. He never shook his hands and took out his cigar from the drawer with shaking hands. In that mellow smell, he felt a will called inheritance.

Batman chose him and wanted him to truly become a hero in Gotham, without the need to wear a mask, he will stand under the light and use his own strength to maintain the city ... he felt the pressure on his shoulders, But is this what he wants to do?

The prosecutor needs to obey politics. Harvey understands this truth better than anyone, and what about the next Joker? The bright heroes needed by Gotham can't deal with people like Joker, it needs a dark legend.

No ... Batman should not surrender like this! He can't do this! This should not be the case in this world!

Harvey Dent pressed the cigar in his ashtray hard, he would not allow him to surrender so easily! No ... allow!
