Chapter 143

"no! No!!!!"

Gordon rushed to the burning ruins of Orchard Street like a mad Beast, Robin with a grief and an undecided face Mayor Stewart tried to hold him, but couldn't.

The power that bursts out of the body of this always polite middle age person is shocking. In the end, Cyber ​​wearing a black trench coat stepped forward to suppress Gordon in place.

Sergeant Smith’s rescue operation failed... He himself was buried in the fire sea, and to make matters worse, the hostage died in it. The loyal wife was Gordon’s wife.

The chief of police knelt on the ground, and his roar sounded like a night owl in the darkness. Anyone who listened to it would feel an indescribable, heart-wrenching pain.

Cyber ​​gritted his teeth, his left hand was on Gordon’s neck fiercely everything, this grief-stricken gentleman fainted, he looked at Robin,

" Take him back. He needs to rest now. By the way, take his son and daughter with him too, lest Gordon do irrational things."

He looked at Robin, his brother succeeded. Rescued Gordon’s son from the dock warehouse, Robin Super-man’s first-class absolute observation ability, vividly and thoroughly reflected in the action at this time, he is the only one who discovered Joker’s despicable institution in advance. A door was opened on the side of the warehouse, and then he picked up the child and rushed into the sea outside the warehouse within 5 seconds. This took the lives of two people in the explosion.

In addition to the Barbara Gordon rescued by Cyber, Gordon’s sons and daughters are finally safe, but Cyber ​​is also helpless for his wife’s death. He regrets it even more at this time. Why didn’t he be there? With their obstruction, Joker was completely killed, which caused the current troubles.

"From now on, you are responsible for protecting them, and I will spend my energy on business."

Cyber's voice is extremely cold, but Robin did not refute this time. There were also rays of light in his eyes. He was nodded, looking at the burning ruins, then turned his head, wiped the tears from his eyes with his fingers, and carried Gordon into the car.

The mayor of Nestor’s clothes are disheveled and he loses his previous demeanor at all, but at this time he has been drawing a cross on his chest. God is on top, being tied by a group of guys wearing Joker masks. When he entered the Grand Theater and was tied up around the pile of oil drums that exuded the pungent smell, Nestor really thought he was going to die.

Gordon rescued him, probably because time was tight, and the place where Nestor was detained did not place the despicable institution, which allowed the mayor to escape.

"Mr. Nestor..."

Cyber ​​looked away from the burning ruins, looked at the mayor with a ghost face, and whispered,

"You know what you should do now, don't you?"

Mayor Nestor is not stupid. He immediately understood what Cyber's means. He was fiercely nodded and gnashing teeth said,

"Tomorrow morning, the National Guard will enter the city...too respectless of the law and of natural morality! By the way, Harvey, how about Harvey?"

For Nestor’s question, Cyber ​​shook the head sadly. He had received the news that Batman's rescue operation was half successful.

Harvey saved his life, but...anyway, as Cyber's understands, if he becomes like that, he might as well die directly.

At this time, it was dawn. Alfred walked in here with breakfast in his residence on the 25th floor of the Wayne Building. He saw the bat Battle Armor scattered on the ground, each piece thrown on the ground. The arrangement was like random thrown away garbage. His brows frowned. He saw that his Young Master didn't take off the remaining Battle Armor, but sat sluggishly by the window, looking at the waking city outside.

His expression is very embarrassed, there is no focus in his eyes.

After 7 years of travel and training, it’s not easy to see this look on Bruce’s face, but after his parents were shot and killed by the time he grew up, Alfred But he often sees his Young Master thinking like this, so he doesn't pay much attention to it, but chooses to leave time and space to himself.

But when Alfred put down his breakfast and was about to leave, Bruce stopped him,

"Alfred, I'm useless, right?"

"Uh..."

As an experienced housekeeper, Alfred knew what to say at this time. He thought about it and said in a low voice, "It depends on what it is. It depends on the housework. In terms of it, you are really useless, but I don’t think you’re talking about this."

Bruce’s eyes are still out of focus, he muttered to himself,

"I was originally I want to encourage the right things, encourage positive things, not madness, not death! I thought I could subdue Joker, I thought I could suppress him in my way, I stopped Cyber ​​from killing him, gosh, look Seeing what I did, this city shouldn’t have suffered this, Gordon, Harvey... they shouldn’t have suffered this."

Alfred sighed, he sat on the sofa next to Bruce , He said softly,

"But you’ve already done this, haven’t you? You spit on the faces of Gotham's criminals. Have you ever thought that there will be victims? Someone like Joker will appear sooner or later. , He just came a little earlier than the worst I expected."

Alfred has always disagreed with Bruce Wayne to go out and do justice. This is the last descendant of the Wayne family, in case something happens. , The family is over, but he can see the sad expression on Bruce’s face, he is still comforted,

"But things will get worse before they get better, just like Harvey said That way, the darkness before dawn is always the hardest. You feel uncomfortable, and you feel painful. This is because you are solving problems, and the process of solving problems is always uncomfortable."

Bruce closed his eyes. , He has an unconcealable sadness on his face,

"But Gotham only needs a real hero, like Harvey, not someone who killed his friend and blew up the city. I I don’t know how to face Gordon. It’s all my fault. Cyber’s is right. I’m arrogant and conceited. I think I can handle all the troubles, but I can’t... I’m just a mortal."

Alfred stood up and walked over to Patted Bruce’s shoulder. The white-haired old man said gently,

"Yes, we need real heroes...but we don’t have one now, so we just I can make do with you, you don’t want to give this mess to Cyber, think about his style, he will probably kill half of the city, find Joker, and then choke him."

"Wayne The men of the family never give up halfway, and I believe neither will you. "

After that, Alfred picked up the cold breakfast and prepared to leave. Bruce covered his face with his hands, as if thinking about himself. Just as Alfred walked to the door, Bruce lifts the head, he asked ,

"Alfred, how did you catch the gem stealer who was hiding in the forest back then? "

Alfred's body stagnated for a while. This problem seemed to have caused him some bad memories, but in the end, he still said,

"We burned the entire forest. "

Bruce was stunned, he was nodded and stopped talking.

The three days of calm and tranquil were fleeting, and in the process, Cyber ​​received a call and then On that night, he left his villa alone.

Wayne Hospital, Intensive Care Unit, Harvey Dent opened his eyes suddenly. This is not the first time he has regained consciousness, but the kind of unimaginable The severe pain still came from the left half of his body. It was a mixed sensation that was almost unbearable, but his arms were fixed on the hospital bed and could not move, and he could barely bear it forcibly. This kind of pain.

"Ah"

He groaned, half of his face was covered with gauze, and as his head moved, blood poured out from the wound. All the gauze was dyed red in an instant.

Then he saw the silhouette sitting next to his hospital bed, with his back facing him, as if reading the newspaper. After hearing the sound, he turned around Body, that is Harvey's memorable face. Not long ago, he was humiliated by this guy in the dock area.

"Cyber ​​Hawk...you...why are you here? "

His voice is dry, completely devoid of its previous magnetism. If you don't consider his complete right half of his face, it can almost be called the voice of the devil, just like steel rubbing. It hurts people’s ears.

"Shh"

Cyber ​​showed him a mysterious smile, and then pointed to the door. In the dim light, he walked from the side I figured out something and looked at Harvey,

"No, I don't call that name. "

He was talking and clasped the things in his hands on his face. When he lifted the head again, the twisted ghost face appeared in front of Harvey, and the voice changed. The distorted voice of the instrument.

"This is me...you usually call me the red devil, or the red devil. "

"You...you are. "

Harvey's tone was a little shocked at first, but then it became calm. He already felt what was happening to him. He looked at Cyber's mask and struggled and said,

p>

"What happened to me? They don't tell me things, what happened to me? "

"You were kidnapped by Joker, not just you, but also Gordon’s wife, son, daughter, and our wise Mayor of Nestor..."

Cyber ​​completely Without concealing, I told everything I knew, "Batman rushed to save you, but there were some accidents, but you at least saved your life, Gordon's wife...Unfortunately, we were not able to rescue her. ”

Harvey’s breathing in this brief moment suddenly stopped for a few seconds, and then became more and more hurried. His left arm moved a bit, but he couldn’t move when he was handcuffed by the bed. Can you say in that scary voice,

"Can you show me a mirror? "

This request made Cyber ​​stupefied. He hesitated. He looked at Harvey and said, "Are you sure?" You may not be able to accept the way you are now... If it were me, I might as well just die happily. "

"Give it to me! "

Harvey's voice became louder in vain. From quiet to violent, it took almost no one second. Cyber ​​took a deep breath and took out a mirror from the table next to it and placed it on In front of Harvey.

The prosecutor looked at himself in the mirror. In the dim light, he saw only the right half of his face, the left half was covered with gauze, and the blood dyed the gauze red.

"Take it off for me. Those nurses are not willing to help me, thank you. "

Harvey whispered, Cyber ​​extend the hand, gently tore it, with flesh and blood, and took off the gauze, revealing Harvey's complete half of his face.

Horror...Even an experienced and knowledgeable person like Cyber, seeing the image of the intact right face and the left face that is almost completely burnt, leaving only the flesh and blood, feels a little bit frightened. , The most terrifying thing is the eyes. Without the protection of the skin, they seem to fall off at any time.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Harvey’s current posture, as long as he dares to walk out of the hospital, it will take a few minutes. It will scare many people to death.

The irony is that when Batman held Harvey and rushed out of the explosion site, the burning oil and flame seemed to be under the control of some kind of power, which was almost perfect. The scorched half of Harvey's body, not only the face, but also the chest, arms and skin.

It's like going down the middle line of the forehead, dividing the complete body into two halves. .

“hehe …”

But after suffering such terrible injuries, Harvey was not angry or mad. On the contrary, he calmly accepted this fact and used terror. His voice laughed and said,

"Two-Face...the nickname they gave me is now complete. "

"I don't think you need to worry so much about this..."

Cyber ​​said to Harvey, "Although your situation is terrible, it's not impossible. …"

"en?"

Harvey turned his head to Cyber, the horrible right face appeared in front of Cyber, and he whispered, "What do you mean? "

Cyber ​​did not answer, but extended the hand arm. Under Harvey's incomprehensible gaze, he took out a dagger and slashed his arm apart. After 5 seconds, the wound healed automatically, even Not even a little blood is left.

"Are you... Mutant? "

Harvey started from waking up, until now it has been steady until the cruel tone finally showed a slight fluctuation, he said in surprise, "Isn't Gotham Mutant's restricted area?" I remember...cough cough...this city banned Mutant by legislation...you won't be here, will you? "

"I'm a little special. "

Cyber ​​is unwilling to talk too much about this issue. He took off his mask and looked at Harvey seriously.

"I think with Mutant’s weird abilities, maybe he can have The possibility of helping you heal your injury..."

Harvey's scary eyes rolled, staring at Cyber,

"What's the price? "

"Uh, you seem to have changed a lot..."

Cyber ​​looked at Harvey with a weird expression, "You didn't talk like this before." "

"I walked between life and death. If there is no gain, I will lose a lot. Cyber...In these three days, I finally figured out one thing. "

Harvey closes his eyes. Of course, he cannot close his right eye without the eyelids. He said, "I finally understand how ridiculous the beliefs I used to insist on, law and justice, for For ordinary people, it is the norm to maintain life, but there are always some people, the law does not work, I understand it too late, it made me become like this, but this is very good, peel off that layer of hypocrisy After that, I can see this world more clearly. "

"hehe, I said a long time ago, under your appearance, there is another you hidden. "

Cyber ​​hehe smiled, he looked around, "Well, there is no cost, I just think Joker will continue to use you, this is to protect..."

" said Truth, I can feel you lying. "

Harvey said flatly, "I want to hear the truth... I have heard enough disgusting lies. "

"Well, the price is, I hope you can help me. To be precise, the people in Devil Gang have recently encountered some troubles. If Gotham's matter is not resolved, I can't rush over, so I hope to find someone with sufficient ability to help me solve it. "

"Look, you help me, I help you, it's fair, isn't it? "

Harvey opened his eyes and looked at Cyber,

"Why me? Why did you choose me? "

Cyber ​​lit a cigarette, he spit out the smoke ring, he looked at Harvey, and said softly,

"Because I know Joker..."
