The trajectory of the world king in the United States

"no no!!!"

Gordon rushes towards the burning ruins of Orchard Street like a mad beast. Robin, who looks sad, and Mayor Nestor, who is in shock, try to hold him back, but they can't.

The power that erupted from the body of this always polite young man was shocking. In the end, Seb, wearing a black windbreaker, stepped forward and suppressed Gordon in place.

Sheriff Smith's rescue operation failed... He himself was buried in the sea of ​​​​fire. What's worse, the hostage also died with him, that loyal wife, Gordon's wife.

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

Seb gritted his teeth and punched Gordon's neck with his left hand. The man who was extremely grieved fainted. He looked at Robin,

"Take him back. He needs to rest now. By the way, take his son and daughter with him to prevent Gordon from doing something irrational."

He looked at Robin. His brother successfully rescued Gordon's son from the dock warehouse. Robin's superhuman observation ability was fully demonstrated in this action. He was the only one who discovered the clown in advance. A man from a despicable agency. He opened a door on the side of the warehouse, then picked up the child and rushed into the sea outside the warehouse within 5 seconds. Only then did he save the lives of two people in the explosion.

In addition to Barbara Gordon who was rescued by Seber, Gordon's two children were finally safe and sound. However, Seber could not do anything about the death of his wife. At this time, he regretted even more why he had not stopped them in the first place. The clown was completely killed, which caused all the trouble now.

"From now on, you are responsible for protecting them, and I want to use my energy on business."

Seb's voice was extremely cold, but Robin did not refute this time. There was hatred in his eyes. He nodded, looked at the burning ruins, then turned his head and wiped his eyes with his fingers. With tears in his eyes, he carried Gordon and got into the car.

Mayor Nestor was disheveled and had completely lost his previous grace, but he kept crossing himself on his chest at this time. The emperor was being tied into the Grand Theater by a group of guys wearing clown masks, and was tied there. Nestor really thought he was going to die when he was surrounded by the pungent smelling oil drums.

Gordon rescued him, probably because time was tight and the despicable mechanism was not placed where Nestor was being held, so the mayor escaped.

"Mr. Nestor..."

Seb looked away from the burning ruins, looked at the mayor with a ghostly expression, and whispered,

"You know what you have to do now, right?"

Mayor Nestor was not stupid. He immediately understood what Seb meant. He nodded fiercely and said through gritted teeth,

"Early tomorrow morning, the National Guard will enter the city... It's so lawless! By the way, Harvey, how is Harvey?"

Facing Nestor's question, Seb shook his head sadly. He had already received the news, and Batman's rescue operation was half successful.

Harvey saved his life, but... anyway, according to Seb's understanding, if he became like that, it would be better to die directly.

At this time, it was dawn, in his residence on the 25th floor of Wayne Tower, Alfred walked in with breakfast and saw bat armors scattered on the ground. Each piece was thrown on the ground, arranged as if they were thrown randomly. It was as scattered as the fallen garbage, and he frowned. He saw that his young master did not take off the remaining armor, but sat blankly by the window, looking at the awakening city outside the window.

His expression was very embarrassed, and his eyes were unfocused.

After seven years of travel and training, it was not easy to see such an expression on Bruce's face. However, during the period when his parents were shot dead and when he grew up, Afu often saw his young master like this. Thinking, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but chose to leave time and space to himself.

But when Ah Fu put down his breakfast and was about to turn around and leave, Bruce stopped him.

"Afu, I'm pretty useless, right?"

"Uh…"

As an experienced housekeeper, Ah Fu knew what to say at this time. He thought for a while and whispered, "It depends on the aspect. You are really useless when it comes to cleaning up housework, but I think you That shouldn’t be what you’re talking about.”

Bruce's eyes were still unfocused, and he muttered to himself,

"I originally wanted to encourage the right things, encourage positive things, not madness, not death! I thought I could subdue the Joker, I thought I could suppress him in my own way, I stopped Cyber ​​from killing him, God, look what I've done, this city didn't deserve this, Gordon, Harvey... they didn't deserve this."

Afu sighed, he sat on the sofa next to Bruce, and he said softly,

"But you've already done it, haven't you? The criminals in Gotham are frothing in the face. Did you ever think there would be victims? People like the Joker will appear sooner or later. He is just the worst case scenario I expected in advance. Some are coming.”

Alfred had always disagreed with Bruce Wayne going out to do chivalry. This was the last descendant of the Wayne family. If something happened, the family would be finished. However, when he saw the sad expression on Bruce's face, he still comforted him. arrive,

"But things always get worse before they get better. As Harvey said, the darkness before dawn is always the most difficult. You feel uncomfortable and you feel pain. This is because you are solving problems and solving them. The problem process is always uncomfortable.”

Bruce closed his eyes, and there was sadness on his face that could not be concealed.

"But Gotham only needs real heroes, like Harvey, not someone who killed his friends and blew the city to pieces. I just don't know how to face Gordon. It's all my fault." , Seb is right, I am arrogant, I thought I could handle all troubles, but I can't... I'm just a mortal."

Afu stood up, walked over and patted Bruce on the shoulder. The white-haired old man said gently,

"Yes, we need real heroes...but we don't have any now, so we can only make do with you. You don't want to leave this mess to Seb, think about his style, he Probably kill half the city to find the Joker and strangle him."

"The Wayne men never give up, and I'm sure you won't either."

After finishing speaking, Alfred picked up the cold breakfast and prepared to leave. Bruce covered his face with his hands, seeming to be thinking to himself. When Alfred walked to the door, Bruce raised his head and asked,

"Afu, how did you catch the gem thief hiding in the forest?"

Alfred's body stagnated for a moment. This question seemed to cause him some bad memories, but in the end, he still said,

"We burned down the entire forest."

Bruce was stunned, he nodded and said no more.

The three calm days flew by. During this process, Seb received a phone call, and then that night, he left his villa alone.

Wayne Hospital, Intensive Care Unit, Harvey Dent opened his eyes suddenly. This was not the first time he woke up, but the unimaginable severe pain still came from the left half of his body. A feeling mixed with pain and itching was almost unbearable, but his arms were fixed to the hospital bed and could not move, so he could almost only bear the pain forcefully.

"what"

He groaned, and half of his face was covered with gauze. As his head moved, blood poured out from the wound, instantly dyeing the gauze red.

Then he saw the figure sitting beside his hospital bed, with his back to him, seemingly reading a newspaper. After hearing the sound, he turned around. It was a face that Harvey remembered deeply. Not long ago, he I was humiliated by this guy in the dock area.

"Seb Hawk...you...why are you here?"

His voice was dry and had completely lost the magnetism it had before. If you didn't consider the right side of his face, it could almost be called the devil's voice. It was like steel rubbing against each other, hurting people's ears.

"shush"

Seb showed him a mysterious smile, and then pointed outside the door. In the dim light, he took out something from the side and looked at Harvey,

"No, I'm not called that."

As he spoke, he put the thing in his hand on his face. When he raised his head again, the twisted ghost face appeared in front of Harvey, as well as the voice distorted by the voice changer.

"This is me...you usually call me the Red Devil, or the Red Devil."

"You...it's you."

Harvey's tone was a little shocked at first, but then became calm. He had already felt everything that happened to him. He looked at Seb's mask and struggled hard to say,

"What's wrong with me? They don't tell me things. What happened to me?"

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

Seb didn't hide anything at all and told everything he knew, "Batman came to save you, but there were some accidents, but at least you saved your life. Gordon's wife...Unfortunately, we couldn't save her. .”

Harvey's breathing suddenly stopped for a few seconds at this moment, and then became more and more rapid. His left arm moved a little, but he was unable to move as he was handcuffed to the bedside. He could only say in that terrifying voice ,

"Can you give me a mirror?"

This request made Seber stunned for a moment. He hesitated. He looked at Harvey, "Are you sure? You probably can't accept your current situation... If it were me, I might as well just die."

"give it to me!"

Harvey's voice grew louder in vain, going from quiet to violent in almost no time. Seb took a deep breath, took out a mirror from the table next to him, and placed it in front of Harvey.

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

"Help me take it off, those nurses won't help me, thank you."

Harvey whispered, and Seb reached out and gently tore off the gauze along with the flesh and blood, revealing half of Harvey's complete face.

Horrible... Even a well-informed person like Seber felt a little bit frightened when he saw the image of the intact right face and the almost completely burned left face, leaving only flesh and blood tissue. The most terrifying thing is that the eyes, without the protection of the skin, seem to fall off at any time.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Harvey's current attitude, as long as he dares to walk out of the hospital, many people will be scared to death in minutes.

The irony is that when Batman carried Harvey out of the explosion site, the burning oil and flames seemed to be controlled by some mysterious power, almost perfectly scorching half of Harvey's body, not only Face, but also chest, arms and skin.

It's like a dividing line running down the forehead, dividing the complete body into two halves.

"Ha ha…"

But after suffering such a horrific injury, Harvey did not get angry or go crazy. On the contrary, he accepted the fact calmly. He smiled and said in a terrifying voice,

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

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

Seb said to Harvey, "Although your situation is terrible, it is not impossible..."

"Ok?"

Harvey turned his head to Seb, and the terrifying right face appeared in front of Seb. He said in a solemn voice, "What do you mean?"

Seb did not answer, but stretched out his arm. Under Harvey's puzzled gaze, he took out a dagger and cut his arm open. After 5 seconds, the wound healed automatically without leaving even a little blood.

"Are you... a mutant?"

Harvey's tone, which had been steady and cruel since he woke up, finally showed a slight fluctuation. He said in surprise, "Isn't Gotham a forbidden area for mutants? I remember... ahem... this city has legislated to expel mutants. …You’re not coming here, are you?”

"I'm a bit special."

Seb didn't want to say too much on this issue. He took off his mask and looked at Harvey seriously.

"I think with the weird abilities of mutants, it might be possible to help you treat your injuries..."

Harvey's terrifying eyes turned and stared at Seb,

"What about the price?"

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

Seb looked at Harvey with a strange expression, "That's not what you said before."

"I walked between life and death. If I don't gain anything, I will suffer a big loss, Seb... In these three days, I finally figured out one thing."

Harvey closed his eyes. Of course, the right eye without an eyelid could not be closed. He said, "I finally understand how ridiculous the beliefs I once insisted on are. Law and justice are the rules for maintaining life for ordinary people." , but there are always some people, the law does not work, I understand it too late, it makes me become like this, but this is good, after peeling off that layer of hypocrisy, I can see more clearly this world."

"Haha, I told you before that there is another you hidden under your appearance."

Seb chuckled and looked around, "Okay, there's no price. I just think the clown will continue to use you. This is to protect..."

"Tell the truth, I can feel you lying."

Harvey said calmly, "I want to hear the truth...I've heard enough of those disgusting lies."

"Well, the price is, I hope you can help me. To be precise, the people of the Devil's Gang have encountered some troubles recently. I can't rush there unless the things in Gotham are solved, so I hope to find someone with enough resources. Someone with the skills to help me fix it.”

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

Harvey opened his eyes and looked at Seb,

"Why me? Why did you choose me?"

Seb lit a cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, looked at Harvey, and said softly,

"Because I know the Joker..."
