A long, long time ago, an old man once made such an analogy...... He said that Gotham was like a kite swaying in a storm, and the string that pulled the kite was already unbearable, and sooner or later it would break, and the whole city would eventually fly into chaos.

Just a breeze.

The gust of wind may come later or earlier, but it doesn't matter.

Because this is the inevitable end.

......

And when I woke up the next morning.

This breeze has crept in.

......

At half-past eight, there was traffic jams on 79th Street in Gotham City, a major thoroughfare in Gotham City, which is directly opposite Wayne Tower, where most of the businesses in the city are located.

Therefore, almost every morning, the dense roar of cars and the invective of angry landers will be the inevitable show here.

And on today's program list, another item has been added.

A huge tanker truck drove up the main road from a bypass road and then suddenly lost control at the third traffic light and crossed the middle of the intersection.

Forthwith...... The traffic on 79th Street was so easily thrown into chaos.

Of course, Gotham is a metropolis after all, and the traffic department quickly mobilized the police to divert vehicles that had not yet been involved in the congestion to other sections.

Therefore, some of the surrounding streets are suddenly overcrowded.

Among them, there is the street where the Gotham City Police Station is located.

...... However, no one can do anything about traffic, so the people in the police station didn't notice that the entire neighborhood where they were was had gradually been surrounded by some vehicles of unknown origin.

......

10:15 a.m. The traffic has eased slightly, but inside the Gotham Police Station, there is still chaos.

About a dozen pairs of citizens were beaten from the street to the police station, and a few of them were bleeding from the heads, even when the confessions were recorded, which made the policemen feel the urge to handcuff them.

That's not all, just when this group of people was in a hurry, two groups of street gang members clashed and even used firearms.

This level of conflict is no longer manageable by a small sub-bureau nearby, so in desperation, the police station can only drive a small passage in the congested traffic with difficulty, dispatch a few cars, and most of the police motorcycles to deal with it.

However, it was also at this time, in the other direction of the gang fight, that three calls were suddenly received in a row. One was the looting of a large supermarket, the other was the sound of gunfire and screams from the rooftops, and finally, several floating corpses were found on the shore of a lake on the outskirts of the city.

Well, it's this kind of case that doesn't make much noise, but it has to be taken seriously as soon as it appears, in fact, every month in the past, the Gotham Police Station has always received a lot of such reports, but I don't know if it's bad luck or what's going on, these things are all gathered together today.

But there's no way, police, you can't say that you can't be busy here for the time being, let people wait for a while, fortunately, the police station still has a few helicopters to deploy. So, three police helicopters were sent to those crime scenes.

It's good that in such a chaotic morning, the Gotham police station has managed to clean up a piece of.

But just when everyone thought that they had finally survived, no one noticed that there were a few more inconspicuous garbage bags in the trash cans of the police station and a few imperceptible corners.

......

After about 40 minutes...... A sudden phone call kicked off today's carnival.

"Hey, Gotham ......" operator is named Mike...... Today, the entire wiring area has been flooded with phones. So he didn't even look at the caller ID and connected the line.

On the phone, a voice came from a somewhat painful tone: "Hey...... I am the head of Field Unit 2 of the Police Directorate, Police Officer No. 55480. ”

The operator froze for a moment, he looked at the caller ID, and found that it was not the internal line of the police station, so he subconsciously felt that this should be a prank call.

"This isn't a prank call, so please don't hang up." As if knowing what he was thinking, the man on the phone said in a panic: "Me and the 4 members of the 2nd squad have been hijacked now, a gun is in the back of my head, if you hang up, then we will die, now, what is your personal phone number?" ”

The operator frowned, looked angry, and hung up with a bang.

"Another harassing call?" An operator next to him asked, twisting his stiff neck.

"yes...... He said he was a police officer and was hijacked. Mike shook his head helplessly, and waited for the next call to come in.

Then...... The line of the man next to him was the first to be connected.

"Hey, hello, Gotham Police ......," the man said.

Then, I don't know what he heard, anyway, he turned his head in shock and looked this way.

Immediately afterward, the man seemed to hesitate again...... A list of phone numbers was reported......

At this moment, Mike seemed to sense that something was wrong.

Soon, a video file was received on his colleague's phone.

He subconsciously turned it on.

In the video, inside a house, four people in police uniforms are kneeling on the ground, their hands tied behind their backs, and at the edge of the frame, holding a phone in one hand and sticking it to a policeman's ear.

"Hey...... I am the head of Field Unit 2 of the Police Directorate, Police Officer No. 55480. ”

"This is not a prank call, so please don't hang up. Me and 4 members of the 2nd squad have now been hijacked, a gun is in the back of my head, if you hang up then we will die, now, what is your personal phone number? ”

In the video, the policeman said in a trembling voice.

But suddenly, the man was obviously stunned: "No, no, no————"

He began to roar wildly.

But...... The hand at the edge of the frame took the phone back carelessly, and then a gun entered the video.

"Bang!" One shot.

The man lay in a pool of blood.

......

Then the phone was dialed again, and then it was posted to the ear of another police officer......

This is where the video comes to an abrupt end.

Mike looked up in disbelief...... He looked at his colleague with the same horror in his eyes.

During this period, his colleague never hung up the incoming call, so the person on the phone should have asked for his number. For he said in a trembling voice, "My number is 17." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the wiring area was pushed open, and a cleaner rushed in with a pale face, still carrying a plastic bag in his hand.

"Who's operator number 17?"

The man asked......
