Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Thirty-five. Intensified [34/100]

"boom"

A mass of newspapers mixed with rotten vegetable leaves was smashed on the glamorous glass door on the side of the street. There was a violent vibration, and even a shout of applause, so more things hit the shop.

The shop staff cowered and hid behind the door, watching the noisy demonstrators in front of them, and even the stains on the door were not dared to wash them immediately.

Everyone knows why today’s parade is even crazier, because someone died last night. The Joker will do what he says. If Batman doesn’t take off his mask for a day, someone in this city will die for him. Anyone like this will appear next to him. Crazy people will make people scared to crazy.

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

The whole Gotham Central District was full of people, and the parade was always full of passion. They waved their arms, held up shoddy slogans, and made roars that they could not hear. Those voices did not get together to form more On the contrary, the powerful sound is mixed and turned into worse noise.

Annoying.

"Let Batman get out!"

"Why should we die for him!"

"Let him take off the damn mask!"

"We want to live!"

They crossed the prosperous First Avenue, and the final destination was downstairs in the mayor’s office, as if they were about to completely enclose the poor building. They yelled. After more people, they began to take what they had Things hit the policemen guarding the door.

The heavy-duty policemen wore hoods, and they couldn't see their expressions, but under their indifferent appearance, they could 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 prompt the City Hall to come up with a solution, but the reality is that Mayor Nestor is not in the office at all.

They are just venting their anger and fear into the air, disguising themselves as pioneers dedicated to a certain just cause...Under the appearance of Guangwei, they are cowardly souls standing together. , Cowardly enough to be unwilling to bear even a little risk.

The reporters stood outside the thrilled parade crowd, happily reporting the intensified parade in Gotham City. They wished things would be messy, and Batman would stand up and beat these guys into meat sauce.

But not for justice, but for more breaking news.

Politicians used the march to criticize the policies of the Mayor of Nestor. Businessmen took the opportunity to raise prices. Even the gangsters who were frightened by the red devil were mixed in the crowd to swagger through the market.

Everyone here got what they wanted from this trip, only the citizens who were marching, they didn't even know what they were doing.

This is the group, they are not good at reasoning, but they are eager to move; they are impulsive, impatient, easy to be suggested and credulous; their wisdom is lower than the wisdom of individuals; they are full of primitive violence and bloodthirsty, even they His moral standards are also very low.

As Saibo said, "Once you are in the crowd, you will be infected with their actions, habits, and ways of thinking, and do some ridiculous but unknowing things."

It's like a drama.

"I know there is a driving force behind this incident, but I can't imagine why the situation is so bad in just three days?"

The Mayor of Nestor stood in the office of the police department. In front of him were the sub-chiefs of various districts of Gotham, as well as the seven sheriffs of the headquarters. Robin was absent, and the police's eyes passed the two empty positions from time to time, Gordon And Lauber, Nayong was their leader, but they were dead 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 monitoring, we found a large number of gangsters. They even appeared as the backbone of the demonstration... We have reason to doubt.

This reason is very reasonable. The mayor nodded. He is not a foolish person. However, even the selfless person will feel anxious when it comes to matters related to his position and power. He sits on a chair and plays with his hands. Cigar cutter,

"Why not catch them?"

Smith's expression dimmed.

"Our police force is not enough. In Gordon..., the security situation in the entire city has deteriorated again. Police officers have been assigned to patrol in various areas, and we are worried that once they act, they will be used by clowns in case of large-scale injuries. The incident brought the credibility of the entire Gotham City government to the lowest point in history. As you can guess, it would be a catastrophic disaster."

Nestor stopped speaking, his face changed rapidly, and finally, he sighed.

"Look at our people. They are now fragile like sheep sent to the abattoir without a leader. Didn't Batman say anything?"

Sheriff Smith shook,

"No, and I don’t think he has to stand up, Mr. Mayor. Although his behavior is illegal, we cannot ignore it. In the past year, it is precisely because of his presence that our city is in order. I tend to be more stable. I never believe that if we hand over Batman, the Joker will give up. I have come into contact with too many such villains. They will only gain an inch. When they see our weakness, they will treat us as felt. Meat on the plate."

The sheriff’s sonorous tone, he looked at the mayor,

"I request that all TV broadcasts in Gotham be banned from playing the clown's threatening video. This will cause these people who are worried about their safety to fall into more crazier uneasiness. He is using our fearful psychology, Mr. Mayor, he is destroying our will. !"

Faced with this request, Mayor Nestor hesitated. After ten seconds, he raised his head and looked at Smith and the others.

"Do you know what this means?"

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

Sheriff Smith said, "In the past three days, we have lost 3 brave policemen and 7 innocent citizens. We have reason to believe that the madness of the clown will continue, but if we really give in, we Handed over Batman... we handed over the last sword that could protect us to our opponents. Although we are reluctant to admit it, the fact is that we can’t handle the clowns only by relying on the police, but we really can’t do it anymore. It is up to him to destroy the will of this city."

"Or you can give the National Guard into the city to maintain order. This is the best way I can think of."

"National Guard?"

Mayor Nestor’s eyes lit up and he cut the cigar in his hand on the table. A few minutes later, he said,

"Yes, I authorize you to block any news about clowns... In addition, I will let the National Guard enter the city, but you have to cooperate well and not cause the people to panic again. I believe that the soldiers with live ammunition will be frantic. The people of China bring confidence, and I don’t think that clowns can deal with those soldiers... By the way, let the TV broadcast live footage of the National Guard entering the city. I think this will stabilize the people’s hearts."

At the same time, on the 25th floor of the Wayne Building, Bruce, Rachel, Alfred, and Lucius were also sitting in the living room, watching the parade live on Gotham TV, and seeing those slogans, Bruce's eyes changed. Sadly, Rachel held his hand, trying to give him some confidence.

"Now there is a piece of news that the Mayor of Sturth signed an order 15 minutes ago. 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 the others, "Nestor finally did something he should do."

"But I doubt that the soldiers can deal with the clowns."

Lucius frowned and said, "From the current form, this guy's manipulation of the human heart is simply top-notch. Looking at the disturbances he caused, the public sees that someone is killed every day because of Batman. Feeling fear, but they are completely unaware that the number of people who die in Gotham every day due to conflict is less than one-fifth of what they were a year ago. They feel that things are getting worse, but in fact, it has been changing. it is good."

"We can't ask the people to calm down, especially this kind of thing that concerns everyone. No one knows who will die next. The clown just captures the weakness in human nature and magnifies it, just like a devil. same."

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 Bruce's inner struggle. Faced with this problem, Bruce let out a sigh of relief. He looked at the restless crowd on the screen, he said ,

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

He lowered his head tiredly, and he covered his face, "I messed up, and I even released him with my own hands. Sometimes I really envy Cyber. If I can be as unprincipled as him, all this will not happen at all. occur."

No one spoke. They knew that Bruce had made a decision. For a stubborn person, he would not easily change his mind because of other people's language.

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

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

There was a touch of determination on Bruce's face. "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 what I can't do for me."

"This will be Batman's last battle. Ducard once taught me that there is a saying in the East, let it die and live, I know what I should do, and I also know what I really want."

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

"who are you?"

These three days of intensified riots put the prosecutor’s office under great pressure. Harvey Dent was on the side of Batman. As a man who believed in law and justice, he exceeded his own guidelines for the first time. In the city of Robin Hood.

But his mood is still very irritable, not only because of pressure, but also because Rachel has made it very clear that she will marry Bruce in the near future. Poor Harvey is broken in love. People in broken love are always violent. He Asked loudly,

"How do you know my phone number?"

But there was a hoarse and low voice from that one. Harvey heard that voice himself 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 the criminal group. You are the first legal light of hope for Gotham in decades. You don't need to wear a mask to protect this city. You are more qualified than me to be the city. hero."

"The clown wants me... I take off my mask and stand up and fight him, Harvey, arrange a Chen Wen press conference tomorrow morning."

"what!"

Harvey Dent’s voice immediately rang, so excited, so angry,

"You can't do this, you can't concede to him, you can't concede to a scumbag, and you can do the right thing. You can't just bow your head like this. From the first day in the city, I have heard how the people in this city praise you, but look. Look at you now, you actually want to surrender!"

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

Bruce whispered, "This will be Batman's final battle. You will be my best assistant, Harvey, don't be arrogant. If anyone sees you like this, sees you sympathize with a city ranger who violates the law, everything It’s all gone, and all the criminals caught by you will be released...everything is meaningless."

"My friend, don't forget Gordon's sacrifice, take my banner, and use your way to help me protect it, let the wicked fall into law and let the good survive."

Harvey's expression freezes. He doesn't know what to say. The dream of a superhero developed from the shape of Buddha is disillusioned at this moment, but at the same time, another kind of belief breeds.

He put down the phone and leaned on the chair. He tremblingly took out the cigar from the drawer, who never smoked. In that mellow taste, he felt a will called inheritance.

Batman ulcerated him, and wanted him to truly become a hero in Gotham, without a mask. He would stand under the light and use his own power to maintain the city... He felt the pressure on his shoulders, but Is this what he wants to do?

Prosecutors need to submit to politics. Harvey understands this truth better than anyone, and what about the next clown?The bright hero that Gotham needs can't deal with people like the clown, it needs a dark legend.

No... Batman shouldn't surrender like this {can't do this, this world shouldn't be like this!

Harvey Dent smashed the cigar in his hand in the ashtray, he wouldn't allow him to surrender so easily!No...Allow!
