[Zhongyingmei] Vampires also want to fall in love

Gotham can be said to be the most special city in the United States. It is famous for its developed economy and heavy darkness. Even the White House has vaguely revealed the meaning of leaving Gotham to fend for itself.

People living in Gotham have long been used to Gotham being isolated and excluded. This situation has derived a very special social psychology-extreme xenophobia.

They will be very vigilant against people who come to Gotham from the outside world, until these "outsiders" acquire Gotham's characteristics and become a part of Gotham, or leave Gotham.

At the same time, they are not surprised by the strange people born in Gotham, such as the dark Batman who flies in Gotham at night and brings fear, the crazy clown who targets Batman, and the penguin who is rumored to live in the reservoir and eat raw fish. Humans, gray angels with only half wings newly appeared...

Only Gotham has these strange people and only Gotham has the soil to breed these freaks.

The opposite of darkness is light. People living in the abyss always yearn for light in their hearts. The only difference is whether the fire of hope is getting weaker and weaker and will soon be extinguished.

The desire for light and justice prompted Gotham to give birth to the police chief who hates evil, the upright and selfless Gotham fighting king James Gordon, and the "light knight" Harvey Dent, who was placed high hopes by the whole Gotham.

Recently, another person named "Knight" appeared in Gotham.This guy named "Pale Knight" delivered a lot of manuscripts to the newspaper in Gotham. From the perspective of ordinary people, the manuscripts questioned the government, the police, the rich and everyone who could doubt it. Questions buried in people's minds have been raised, asking the government to give an answer.

The Gotham City Government and the Gotham Police Department responded in an unimaginable speed. Although they did not respond to all the questions of the Pale Knight, and some answers were superficial, it was enough for the people of Gotham to get excited. This is Pale Knight's answer. Victory is a victory for the people of Gotham!

"Look, look, who would have imagined that this pale knight who fought for the truth for the people of Gotham turned out to be a clown who used to do all kinds of evil." Harvey sat opposite Warlock, shaking the newspaper in his hand, and all the magazines were stacked on the table. Newspaper of Pale Knight manuscripts.

"Isn't that how people are? Alone people will always think about this and that, and hesitate because of various concerns. Someone who takes the lead will instantly lose the ability to think, and rush forward recklessly and fearlessly. Their eyes can only see paleness. The knight seeks rights for them, accepts the benefits brought to them by the pale knight, and selectively ignores what is wrong with him. Maybe some people suspect, some people pursue it, and it will not be successful."

Warlock sat at his desk, spinning a pen, and responded casually: "I want to congratulate you, Harvey. Napier's intelligence has made your work progress very fast, and you will soon realize your ambition."

"The procuratorate has already started to collect evidence, and if there is no accident, a batch of moths will be arrested next month." Harvey rarely smiled, "However, you are too relieved of the clown, he can stir up people's enthusiasm. If the emotions are aimed at the unscrupulous businessmen, the city government, the procuratorate and the police station can be aimed at, and we are not able to solve these things so quickly every time."

Warlock raised his eyebrows slightly, and a chuckle escaped his nose, as if Harvey had told a joke.

"All the manuscripts of the clown are reviewed by me personally, and any problematic manuscripts will not be released. What's more, the current Napier is not the previous clown. He really wants to atone for the past, and he can only Spent the rest of my life in prison."

Warlock doesn't trust the Joker, but he trusts himself.There are no saints in this world, no matter how pure and innocent people are, they will occasionally be bewitched and have some evil thoughts, but they choose not to do so.

The clown, completely stripped of madness and evil, is now more upright and sane than anyone else, and he knows what is best for him.Whenever Napier dared to think a little bit carefully, Warlock could sense it.

Harvey didn't understand where Warlock's confidence came from. After observing Warlock carefully for a while, he realized that he felt different every time he saw Warlock.

Warlock just sat there, with a kind of naive cruelty in his whole body. When Napier was mentioned, it was like a child disposing of a toy casually, but his gray-blue eyes were full of determination and bottomless depth. mystery.

"You..." Harvey licked his dry lips, "People's hearts are very complicated, no one knows what they will think in the next moment."

"At least now what he is doing is beneficial to us. What's more, he is atoning for sins. No matter how many good things he does in the future, his past sins will not be erased, and those who died because of him will not be resurrected to say a word of forgiveness , subsequent beneficiaries are not qualified to forgive the perpetrator for the victim."

Warlock said lightly, obviously without emotion but it made people feel cold.

This is Warlock's way of thinking. Once a person commits a crime, there is no turning back. The crime will be engraved on the soul forever. No amount of compensation in the future will make it up. Bad things done in the past and good things in the future are two different things.

The so-called beneficiaries of Jack Napier's atonement are the people of Gotham, and those who are truly qualified to accept his atonement compensation and listen to his confession have long been sleeping in cold tombs, and they cannot open their mouths to reprimand Napier or forgive him.His atonement is to fill up the guilt, soothe the uneasiness of conscience, so that he doesn't have to suffer from pain and guilt every day.

In Warlock's eyes, he made a deal with Jack Napier. Napier traded intelligence and limited freedom for a chance to have peace of mind.

"No matter what you and Gordon think, the appearance of the Pale Knight poured out part of the repressed anger of the people of Gotham, and we have successfully restored some image."

Harvey's lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and his frown frowned to express his disapproval, "He is a time bomb, if it is revealed that we are working with a criminal one day, it will have a negative impact on the entire Gotham politics. The system is devastated."

"Cooperate with criminals?!" Warlock wondered, "We never cooperate with criminals. The clown will be sent to prison after the tainted witness protection period ends."

"As for the Pale Knight, anyone can be the Pale Knight, you can be, I can be, Gordon can be, even Bruce can be."

"However, as an aside, I think your title of Bright Knight sounds much better than Pale Knight."

Harvey understood what Warlock meant, and Warlock took this opportunity to create an invisible man that the whole of Gotham knew existed, just like the Dark Knight in Gotham, everyone knew his existence, but no one knew the truth behind the mask who is the person.

After sending Harvey away, Warlock began to wait for an invitation that had been intended for a long time but was always delayed.

"Hey Warlock, I hope you have time for an appointment today, I have a lot of things I want to talk to you about," Oswald said. "My father wants to see you very, very, very much. I can only receive you at Copperpot Manor."

"I'm sorry to hear the news, Oswald. I'm happy to accept your invitation and Mr. Copperpot's. I will arrive at Copperpot Manor on time this evening."

……

Among the families that participated in the creation of Gotham, there are four most famous ones, and these four families have continued smoothly to this day.Among these four families, the one that has obviously declined is undoubtedly the Copperpot family, the old rulers and the mediocre and simple-minded children. If the Penguin did not return to the Copperpot family, this family would inevitably die in more than ten years. Disappeared in the crowd in time.

The return of Oswald gave the Copperpot family a shot in the arm. Penguin, who worked hard from the bottom of Gotham and became the underground emperor of Gotham, will undoubtedly become an excellent heir and a patriarch that cannot be underestimated.

Warlock is very optimistic about Oswald, and has been deliberately training him to be his confidant. Their relationship is good enough, and they are short of the last fire.

Oswald waited at the door with an umbrella stick, which was the highest treatment he could give a friend, and there were many things he wanted to talk to Warlock before he took him to his father.

"I'm so excited, Warlock, I can't believe my best friend is actually coming when you step on the grounds of Copperpot Manor."

Oswald was not tall and had a limp, but he did his best to look chic.Every button of the straight suit is buttoned, the diamonds on the black bow tie are shining, some powder is put on the hooked nose to make the nose not look so obtrusive, and the black hair is attached to the scalp obediently.

Warlock smiled and hugged Oswald. He smelled disease and dying in Oswald.

This is not the smell of Oswald, he is still so healthy and energetic, and that smell can only come from his closest person, his father, Mr. Copperpot.

"Things in Gotham are far more complicated than I imagined. Without your help, I might really be trapped in the office 24 hours a day. Your invitation allows me to come out and let the air go, which makes me more or less relaxed." Tone."

Oswald led the way, explaining: "Neither you nor I were wrong, we were just stumbling over important things. Whether we talked on the phone or met in person, our friendship never faded. My father was getting sicker and sicker. Seriously, there is no way to visit in person, so I can only invite you to Copperpot Manor."

"He just took his meds an hour ago and he's still resting. He'll probably be there at dinner, and we'll have over an hour to talk about recent events. For example, I heard some tidbits about Mayor Dowling. , It is said that someone has fallen in love and cannot extricate himself?"

Oswald's tone changed from heavy to relaxed, teasing Warlock, "I remember someone said not long ago that love should go with the flow, but I didn't expect to fall in love in a blink of an eye. I am ashamed of the speed."

"Isn't this what you taught me, you should hold on to the right one when you meet it. On the contrary, you haven't confirmed the relationship with your 'Ed' now, do you have any concerns?"

Oswald's face turned red in an instant, and he hesitated and said: "I always feel that something is almost there, I'm not ready yet. Sometimes I can't figure out Ed's thoughts, and I haven't figured it out yet. How do you tell your father?"

"Then you have to hurry up." Warlock himself has no experience, so he couldn't give any constructive suggestions, so he could only pat Oswald on the shoulder encouragingly.

Copperpot Manor also has a strong Gotham style. The cloudy sky faces the sharp roof. The gray and black buildings make the whole manor look darker. features.

"I don't like this place. It's always cold here, and people don't feel any warmth. If my father didn't need my care, I would rather live in the Bingshan Restaurant."

Oswald sighed, "It's been a long time since the Copperpot family has had someone who can lead the revitalization of the family. No matter how profound the foundation is, there will be a day when the mountains are empty. My father can only be conservative and not aggressive. My stepmother and Her children can't see the family's downfall, and blindly pursue the top life."

"Sometimes lying in the dark and cold room, I can't help myself to think about how much my father loves, whether he really loves me or wants to find a qualified heir for the Copperpot family."

It is not surprising that Oswald would be so skeptical. The timing of Mr. Copperpot's appearance was too ingenious. He lost his mother and needed the comfort of his relatives the most. At that time, he had already shown his ability and had his own power and status.

"Don't go overboard, Oswald. Finding a loved one is a cause for celebration, and Mr. Cobblepot has worked hard to make it up to you, and we've all seen it. Humans are complicated, loving you and wanting to revive the family Not contradictory."

Oswald smiled far-fetchedly. As long as he wanted, he could thoroughly investigate the behavior and motives of old Copperpot. He didn't do this. He was afraid that he would lose his father again after losing his mother. Continue to lose.

"Let's not talk about that, a pale knight has caused you a lot of trouble recently, do you need me to help you find out the details of this person."

"No, no need, I know the identity of this person." Warlock sat on the sofa in the living room. The texture of the sofa was rather hard, and the decoration on it also looked old-fashioned, which showed the stagnant atmosphere of the entire Copperpot Manor.

"That's good, that guy showed up at a strange time and acted in a strange way. If you need it, anytime..."

Before Oswald finished speaking, he closed his mouth abruptly, staring sharply at the small door in the dark.It leads to the dining room, which is usually covered with a thick curtain, and someone hangs it up by someone, but a figure flashed past there just now.

Warlock concentrated for a moment, and heard movement at the door. The blood was flowing faster and faster, and the beating frequency of the heart also began to increase. Someone was hiding there to eavesdrop.

Oswald showed a sarcastic smile, "It's funny, some people always don't know their identity, and do some despicable things."

Warlock could hear the sharp inhalation and the relief of suppressing his anger, and he smiled with his lips curled up.There were not many people in Copperpot Manor. Old Copotter was too sick to get up. The doctor accompanied him 24 hours a day. Neither the housekeeper nor the servants would eavesdrop on the conversation between the master and the guests. The people outside could only be Austrians. Swald's stepmother or one of her two children.

Someone was ready to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two at any time, which made the two lose their interest in chatting and went directly to the restaurant.

Amazingly, old Cobbot was already at the head of the table, looking refreshed against the blazing fire in the fireplace.

"Welcome to Copperpot Manor, Your Excellency the Mayor."

The author says:

★Yesterday Zai Zai and the master were so close, you only pay attention to the clown QAQ

☆The clown is a kind of spirit. As long as Gotham does not reform successfully, the clown will not disappear for a day, but we can use the clown to defeat the clown and liberate the lord to do more meaningful things.
