Chapter 531
Everyone has something they want in their hearts. This thing is generally called desire, and desire cannot be filled. In mythology, this kind of feeling is called human and The original sin of birth is not an unreasonable statement, because desire itself appears with the birth of life. It is our instinct and the animal nature that flows in the bones.
When you have 10 yuan, you will yearn for 100 yuan, then 1,000 yuan, and finally 1W yuan. This is just money. In human feelings and life, there are always many things. It is more important than money... and this desire for important items is even more dangerous.
There are also many things in life. It is difficult to find them if you lose them, and the longer they are lost, the more painful they are, such as treasures, such as love and affection, which are the most innocent of mankind. Flawless beautiful feelings, in many cases, can drive mankind to create miracles, but conversely, the darkness derived from these beautiful feelings will also terrifying to make people unimaginable.
"Hey, Chief, the underground casino in the Xiacheng District has been destroyed!"
Inspector Swan’s capable voice came from the intercom. Gordon will be distracted. Waking up, the latter grabbed the intercom and whispered: "Then take the team, Swan, pay attention to putting the main person involved in the police station."
"What about the rest? Chief, should I arrest them too?"
Inspector Swann’s voice sounded very energetic, but his request was rejected by Gordon:
" no! No, let them go."
"What?"
Inspector Swann’s voice suddenly increased several times, this youngster in a bit jealous and enmity. Regardless of the identities of the two, this brief moment yelled unhappily: "How can we do this! Chief, we can't let them..."
"Then what do you want to do? Swann, tell me !"
Gordon’s voice also became deep: "If we send every gambler we catch to prison, it won’t take 3 days for the entire Gotham's prison to be full! There’s just closed. The serious prisoners are already overwhelmed! Where do you tell me to find a trustworthy police officer who is willing to take the risk to interrogate them? You and your brothers will have to work a few more days to finish their interrogation? During your busy time for a group of meaningless gamblers, how many of them will be threatened more dangerously?"
This series of sharp rhetorical questions made Inspector Swann above the justice not know what to do What’s good to say, and Gordon probably realized that his tone was a bit too much, so he paused for a moment, and whispered:
"Swan, I know you did it at the Central City Police Station. Very good, I can also understand what you want to do when you transfer to Gotham with a heart to protect justice, but do you know the end of the last person who wanted to do this? I value you very much, really ...I don’t want you to be the second Harvey Dent! Everyone is praising his deeds, but so what? When people die, there is nothing!"
"Here is Gotham, Swann, here is your own set of rules and taboos, here is different from any city in other states! Here, if you want to be a hero, you must first throw away all your previous experience, listen to me, Send those bastards to the police station and go back to rest! This is an order, Inspector Swann."
There was silence for a moment on the other side, and Swann’s voice came:
"Yes Yes, Chief, but I am not reconciled!"
"I am not reconciled either! No one will be reconciled..."
Gordon walked to the office window and looked at Gotham's At night, he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "But this is Gotham, go, I have approved your 5-day vacation, I hope this will make you feel better."
A few minutes Later, Gordon put down the communicator in his hand, he leaned tiredly on his office chair, and leaned his white-haired head on the chair, thanks to the blessing of the missing Harvey Dent. The past two years have been increasing. The more young police officers who are called by justice will choose to come to Gotham to experience it. Most of them will be scared witless by Gotham's vicious criminals, although the current criminals and the super criminals of the year, even the Gotham gangsters of the year Compared with that, the weak one is simply not a little bit.
But Gordon doesn’t hate it. In fact, he can only determine who is truly worthy of training and who is unreliable only if he has been tested by danger. Gotham has always been very Poor law and order, he really needs capable and independent police officers and detectives.
"Eddie Swan..."
Gordon took off his glasses, rubbed his forehead, and muttered the name silently. Inspector Swann, who was only 24 years old, before It is the detective of Central City. This is a level transfer. It is a youngster with a sense of justice. His work ability is extremely good. Gordon wants to focus on training him, but every time he sees Swan, Gordon thinks of Harvey.. This made him dare not push Swan to a more important position.
He is afraid of repeating the same mistakes!
Although the dark forces of Gotham today are far less powerful than before, there is no Batman and Red Devil around Swan to help him... and even if Batman and Red Devil are on the road at the same time, Harvey still...
"Um...wait and see."
Gordon cheered up, put on his glasses again, and was about to start working late tonight, Gordon no longer knew It’s been a long time since I went home. In fact, after he sent his children abroad to school, he had been resisting going back to that empty home in his heart. In the last confrontation with the evil, he lost his ambition. His wife Barbara, he will never forget that night, that night, he lost a part of his life.
Every time he returns to his house, he will remember the time he once spent with Barbara. The collision of such sweet memories and cold reality will always make Gordon have a kind of painful wish The madness of suicide.
But he can't... After losing his beloved, Gotham is his last faith, except for his own children.
But no matter how Gordon’s concentration is tonight, his expressions all can’t stay on the file for too long, and there is another thing in his heart.
"peng"
Director Gordon irritably broke the pen in his hand, he was breathing heavily, as if he was making a difficult decision. In the end, he He closed his eyes, took off his glasses, reached out and opened the drawer beside him, and took out a folded dark letter from it. From the appearance, it shouldn't be short for the letter to fall into his hands.
He opened it, and there was a short paragraph on it:
"Dear Secretary Gordon: When you read this letter, you should have paid attention Gotham's status quo. For an excellent police officer like you, I never expected our activities to be hidden from your eyes. Yes, we are planning some things. I can perfectly clear and tell you that we want to take Gotham! But not to destroy... Actually, we just want revenge, and you, you must know whom we are going to revenge."
"When I see this, I think you I must be thinking about how to eradicate us, but believe me, you don’t have to do this! Because you have a better choice... Regarding your gentle and virtuous wife, Ms. Barbara Gordon, I know very well that I have lost the taste of love. That is the pain that is enough to crush any warrior. We have been paying attention to you. We also know what you need most now."
"Let me tell you, resurrecting the dead is not fantasy story, and I, we have enough ability to do this! I can’t let you prove it now, unless you believe me... Or, you can ask Devil Gang, but I can guarantee that they can’t do this !"
"Now, make a choice, Mr. Gordon, whether your city is more important, or your wife is more important. I regret to make you make this difficult decision again, but... .This is necessary!"
On top of the final signature of this letter, there is a clumsy smiley face, and a sentence that makes Gordon look angry and hate:
p>
"You don’t really think that Joker, the culprit of everything, is dead, do you? No, he didn’t! Under the protection of your good friend Cyber Hawk, he lives very well and is very nourishing. This world was originally It's so unfair. People like him should have died a long time ago, but you can't get revenge yourself...but don't worry, now, I also give you this opportunity..."
"After making a decision, come and contact us, Director Gordon...I believe that we will become real good friends."
"Fur...Cyber Hawk, you Really...really with Joker..."
Gordon, who has quit smoking for a long time, took out a cigar from the deepest part of the drawer, and leaned on the chair in an extremely relaxed posture. Lit, took a deep breath of smoke.
"cough cough"
A series of coughs broke the tranquility of the office, and Gordon, whose face was flushed flushed, placed the cigar in front of him, which is not bright in the office Under the light of the light, letting the mellow smoke scattered everywhere, his eyes became chaotic and blurred. He maintained this posture for a full 5 minutes, like a philosopher thinking about the future, and like a philosopher thinking about the future. Gu was pulled away from the body of the soul, leaving only an empty shell under the light.
This is the struggle. In the deepest part of my heart, two voices are screaming frantically, one makes him do everything to get revenge, and the other makes him maintain the status quo, as if nothing happened.
But the question is, can it really be regarded as nothing happened? Seeing the dearest person falling into the fire sea in front of him, but unable to do anything, and then betrayed by a friend who is believed to be trustworthy, all this, all the suffering and torture he suffered, all the betrayals and lies he endured, on him All the weakness and humiliation... can it really be regarded as nothing happened?
If it were you, would you choose to endure it?
"peng"
Gordon stood up, pushed aside the chair, picked up the pistol on the table, placed it in his hand and looked at it several times. The gun followed him It has been for many years, satiated with the blood of gangsters, but never really did anything for his master.
If you spend most of your life in the light, then you are destined to have a hard time resisting the temptation to fall into the dark. If this temptation is not enough, then add a trace of the most beautiful, the things you cherish the most. Bait... This is a just and honorable trap, but now, Gordon feels that he has nowhere to go, and there is no other way forward.
He took a deep breath, fiercely extinguished the cigar in the ashtray, then put the pistol in his pocket, took off his coat and put it on him, he glanced at his office, his eyes flashed After a slight shake, but next moment, he seemed to feel shame because of this shake, fiercely hit the wall with a fiercely fist, and blood flowed from between his fingers.
It hurts, the skin is scratched, the friction between the flesh and the wall is very painful, but that is not even as much as one-thousandth of what Gordon has to bear in his heart!
"Although it was difficult...but I made a decision after all."
"peng"
The lights in the office were completely off at this brief moment. On the outer corridor, a lonely and silent silhouette got farther and farther, until it disappeared completely at the corner, like step by step, without stopping.
It is never despair that drives people forward. Hope...this is the most vicious and effective strategy. Hope that bursts of power can drag a person out of hell, and it can also drag a person out of hell. One person pushes into it.
Director Gordon is a good person in all senses, a decent person, a decent person, he may be swinging around, but unfortunately, on this night, he has already embarked on another path.
There is no future direction, no light and darkness, no one knows the way to it.
