The "attack" on the narrow island was in an uproar, and the Gotham local TV station broadcast the news about the usually forgotten slum for 3 days in a row, and many locals frowned and thought for a long time, only then did they realize that there was such a place in the bustling Gotham City.

More than 30 people died, including Gotham's most famous doctor and the dean of Arkham's ghost place, as well as the former king of Gotham's dark world, Falconi, who ruled half of Gotham for more than 20 years, it is said that a bullet pierced his heart, and when people found him, the blood in his body was almost gone, and he died a miserable death.

It is said that the entire city's sewers were poisoned by a gang of gangsters with ulterior motives, but the Gotham city government immediately stood up to refute the rumors that the city's drinking water had not been damaged in any way, and the old mayor even drank a sip of water fished from the reservoir during the live broadcast to prove the safety of the city.

Of course, there are some folk legends, what Batman, what red ** ghosts and other villains, but no one stood up to wash it all for them, Rachel, who knew everything, returned to her work unit in a low-key manner, but unexpectedly found that her boss, the man who almost became her boyfriend, had been missing for almost 4 days.

Explosions, shootouts, large death tolls, fires, etc., these words are like touching the G-spot of those high-class people who usually pretend to be high-class, all kinds of comments, all kinds of people who have not heard of it before, jumping out and pointing fingers in front of the TV screen, one blaming the other and the other blaming the others.

Gotham, a pool of stagnant water, just because of this regrettable incident, made the city full of storms, and even the Gotham police station, which is almost a representative of "incompetence" in this matter, also stood up to symbolically strengthen the security of the entire city, and for a while it seemed that the city had restored a trace of order.

But where the sun doesn't shine, it's still gray, and even worse things are happening than ever.

"Bang"

In his mansion in the deepest part of the docks, two guards with broken hands and feet were lying on the luxurious carpet, and there were traces of heavy blows on the back of their heads, and the blood seeped into the hand-woven wool blanket, and the fluff seemed to be obscured even its own color after fully absorbing blood.

A blood-red spree.

Cyber looked indifferently at the gang leader in front of him who had been beaten and was about to lose consciousness, he pursed his lips disdainfully, all along, it was such a guy who forced Dad to almost lose everything, and it was he who found someone to ambush him, and almost let Cyber die in the dark alley of the dock area.

But Cyber didn't hate him, there was nothing to resent, he killed his subordinates, he looked for revenge, this is the normal rule of the dark world, the only thing he hated was that Jamie had involved him in all this terrible thing.

2 days ago, Cyber had a conversation with Kevin, and he learned from him that it was Jamie who revealed Cyber's address to Klein in order to borrow a knife to kill people, but the knife he borrowed was broken by Cyber, and even he himself was already standing on the edge of the cliff because of this stupid act.

"You... Finally... Who the hell is it?"

Jamie was choked by the collar by Cyber's hands, his left arm hung low in an unnatural way, the result of being hit by a wine bottle, his face was covered with fist marks, his eyes were full of blue, it was the result of being punched in the eye socket, and the pain was not only physical, but also psychological.

Jamie couldn't bear to be breached so easily by a guy with a knife on his face that still had a hemostatic bandage on his face, even though it was at night, and even though he had recently been a little lax due to the fall of Falconi and the solidity of the entire docklands, this shouldn't have happened!

In his "private kingdom", this should not have happened!

Cyber looked at the gangster in front of him, he suddenly felt a dull feeling, as if he was used to eating meat, and suddenly came back to eat a bite of greens, this feeling was terrible, he looked at the miserable Jamie, he looked at him like an old dog with a broken spine slumped on the carpet, he lost all interest.

He let go of his hands and let Jamie lie on the ground panting, he turned back to sit on the luxurious couch, reached out and opened an unopened bottle of vodka from the table, sniffed it gently, and then poured himself a sip.

The familiar smell hit his throat like a stream of cold water before turning into a raging flame, and he let out a breath and set the knife aside.

He didn't wear that sleek dark red armor, just a black casual suit, he looked like a somewhat thin yellow man, his arms were leaning on the sofa, he looked at Jamie,

"You may not believe it... I'm just a bar guy. ”

Jamie jerked his head up, his eyes fixed on him, Cyber narrowed his eyes and snapped his fingers,

"That's right, it's the bar you want, I killed the people you sent, I killed your brother Boshkin, I also know that you shot four gunmen to get rid of me, you know, you have no problem doing this, I understand your thinking, this is your territory, you don't allow a force that doesn't belong to you to appear here, I know... But you shouldn't, you shouldn't get involved with Klein's gang. ”

Cyber placed the bottle in his hand on the table, and he bent down and looked at Jamie,

"You've reached out, so I'm going to cut off your hand!"

He took a deep breath, leaned back on the couch, and shrugged,

"Oh, by the way, Klein is dead, you know... That's what I did!"

"I pushed him off the fifth floor, and Falcone died in that mess, so look at me, Jamie, tell me, what are you going to do with me?"

"How are you going to deal with someone who is more ruthless, fiercer, stronger than you?"

The anger in Jamie's eyes was almost boiling, but he and Boshkin could go from a poor boy smuggled all the way to a famous gangster in Gotham, he was naturally not a brave and reckless man, he breathed rapidly, and his flexible and vicious head was full of thoughts that did not match his sturdy body at all.

Eventually, he bowed his head and confessed.

"The fact that you're willing to talk to me so much means you don't want to kill me... I admit it, I can't deal with you, I admit defeat! I'm going to leave Gotham tomorrow with Boshkin, what do you want to let me and my brother go?"

"Oh, look, a smart man! There are very few people like you in Gotham these days. ”

Cyber didn't care to lift the bottle and pour it into his mouth, he shook his head, "You should be glad that there is someone in this city that I can't afford to mess with for the time being, okay, let's go, I'll let you go, but I'm going to be fired soon, an unemployed vagrant can't survive in this city, I'm short of money... Jamie, you know what I mean, right?"

A hint of struggle flashed across Jamie's embarrassed face, but looking at Cyber's narrowed eyes, it reminded him of the snowwolves outside the most remote mountain village of the vast Siberian plain where he and Boshkin were born, and the two brothers had confronted the dangerous beasts more than once when they went out hunting with the old hunters of the village.

The best way to confront a hungry snowwolf is to throw your hard-earned prey to it, lest you become the guss of these crazy beasts tormented by hunger.

He and his brother did the same, 3-4 times, and now it's just another time.

Jamie breathed a sigh of relief, and in the face of Cyber's eyes, he finally nodded, so the pressure disappeared in an instant, and the Russian felt the change in momentum, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally... Survived!

Isn't it the best outcome for people like them who walk in the dark? Life is like this, you always have to trade something for something, it's just a question of whether it's worth it.

Five minutes later, Cyber had two more cards in his hand, which were Jamie and Boshkin's life money, and he looked back at the top of the mansion, where a figure in black armor and a black cloak was standing, facing him.

Cyber gestured rudely to the shadow, then strode over to Daddy's old pickup, and a moment later, the blood-smelling mansion regained its composure, and the shadow quickly vanished in place.

Cyber kept his promise, he didn't kill anyone, of course, the guards who broke their hands and feet might have to live the rest of their lives on crutches, and Jamie might find a way to get revenge, but it didn't matter.

He doesn't care about an opponent who is easily destroyed by him once, or rather, if he can retaliate, he must allow others to retaliate too, he is a very open-minded person, and he will not arbitrarily ask his opponent to tie his hands and let him beat him.

No kidding, he's not a god!

Driving all the way to the Old Gun Bar, Cyber opened the car window, one hand was comfortably placed there, he casually twisted Daddy's car stereo, the kind of music from the last century seemed softer and softer in this lonely darkness, a unique sense of satisfaction rose from Cyber's heart, he even had the illusion that this quiet atmosphere would never be broken, he liked this feeling.

He loved the solitude of being alone.

It was his former shell, his former face, his former armor, which would protect him, and now, he no longer needed this armor, he had the first, second and third friends, and an opponent who had to be surpassed, and a group of mortal enemies who didn't know when they would fall from the sky, and a lot of money, enough for him to live the rest of his life happily alone.

With his life so full, what else could he hope for?

From the first day he entered this world to this night, under the calm street lamps of the docklands, Cyber felt that he had this emotion for the first time.

He felt like he was living as a real person, and no longer a weapon that would come out of the sheath and see blood.

It's a dangerous sense of satisfaction, and when the beasts are full, it's always when their attack power is at their lowest, and Cyber knows that, but he thinks that people sometimes need to be willful.

As he opened the door to the Old Gun Bar, he was thinking about whether to take a trip from Gotham to Star City, where Daddy, Catherine, and Robin were all there, and he felt he should go and see them.

Of course, he will not let them come back until the crisis is resolved, and before the fighters go to war, they have to abandon all feelings and expose their weaknesses to a terrible opponent, which is something that only a fool would do.

Cyber is not an idiot.

But the moment he stepped into the dark hall, he quickly pulled out the Colt on his waist and pointed at the man in black sitting at the bar with his back to him, and at the same time, two pistols stretched out from the darkness, one left and one right, against his head.

The atmosphere froze to the extreme for a while.

The man in black, who was sitting in the dark, pouring himself a drink, and sucking it through a straw, stood up, and he looked at Cyber as if he were looking at a very interesting being, and Cyber really saw a hint of curiosity in his soft gaze.

"Don't doubt it, Cyber Hawke, we're here for you. ”
