20. The Opportunity I Finally Waited For [19/100]
The lower town, after the Red Devil's slaughter, has become much more depressed.
It's not that the people are afraid of the murderer, they want all the gangs in the city to die, to be honest, the civilians, especially the civilians in the docklands, have a very difficult sense of the red devil, on the one hand, they have an instinctive resistance to this kind of killing, but on the other hand, they know that the red devil only looks for trouble with the gangs.
And the gangsters will only find trouble for the civilians, from this point of view, Cyber can also be regarded as the savior of the city's citizens who have been oppressed by the gangs, of course, no one will be stupid enough to stand up for him directly, after all, killing people is a crime there, but in the heart, it is difficult to say what the people will think.
However, Cyber's killing was rough, he didn't be able to kill all the rats hiding in the lower city, and if he knew the truth, he might have complained about his carelessness, because the real murderer was here, and it was very, very close to the casino he blew up.
The dimly lit hut, the curtains, the faint light, the scattered arrangement, the slightly disgusting and strange smell, this is the quintessential room of the slums, and here, a conversation is going on.
"You're saying your poor boss has finally made up his mind to hire me?"
The guy who was touching up his makeup in the mirror didn't look back and said to the guy standing at the door, "The price was half of the price before, but now it's not that price, go back and ask your boss, I want two-thirds!"
This sentence made the face of the little brother standing at the door, who didn't want to come in at all, as if he was like a hell here, you can't expect the low-level members of the gang to be so gentle, most of the time, they are used to talking with fists and knives.
"You can't do this!"
This guy scolded angrily, "You bastard, half of what you said was good!"
"Hey, you just scolded me, didn't you?"
The clown who had finished his makeup looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, and the terrifying smile that had been stabbed and stitched up bloomed on his face, white paint, black eye circles, red lips, and messy hair, he didn't look like a normal person.
He squeezed his arms together as if playing a game, made an excited face, jumped up from his chair, already with a switchblade in his hand, and hummed a strange song as he shook his hand and walked towards the frightened guy at the door.
"What do you want to do! Don't come here {Hell!Don't come here!
No normal person would want to get close to the guy in front of him, but just as he was about to turn away, two men in clown masks stood behind him, imprisoning his body in place, and he could only watch as the madman with oil paint on his face got closer and closer to him.
"Hey"
The clown slapped him on the cheek with a cold knife, and a strange grin broke out on his contrasting face, and he whispered,
"Are you afraid that I will see it, are you afraid that I will hurt you, or are you afraid of the scar on my face?"
He slid his knife lightly across his face, his voice getting deeper and deeper,
"Do you know how it came about?"
It was as if he were telling a story, in the ear of a young man who had been utterly frightened,
"You know what, I have parents just like you, but they are very bad for my dad, that is a pathetic drunkard, he likes to say hello to me with his fists, and one day, he was particularly guilty of drinking, and he beat me up and tsk, it hurts so much, and that feeling, my mother tried to stop him, and then I saw them arguing, and I saw him pick up a knife and stab my mother in the chest."
The Joker turned behind the gangster Pony Boy and put his hands on his neck, "Want to know what happened?"
"That bastard, he saw me"
The clown's voice was like crying, "He came up to me, he shoved the knife into my mouth, he smiled and said to me"
"Ho so serious?" he said to me, why don't you smile?"
He walked forward, pinched the young man's mouth, and shoved a sharp knife into his mouth, there was a hint of weeping on his face, and his eyes shone with a touch of excitement and excitement, as if he was about to cut his mouth, and the young man's body shook like chaff.
But the next moment, the clown grinned, pulled out the knife, and slapped him in the face, his face was full of playful abuse,
“ho so serious?”
The clown gang members behind him let go of the young man, and as soon as his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, and the clown crouched down and patted him on the shoulder gently,
"Of course, I'm scaring you, go back and tell your boss, I'll take this job, half of the money, prepare it for me in addition, don't swear next time, understand?"
"Hahahaha"
The clown rubbed his hands excitedly and led his people out of the house, and his twisted voice could be heard in the dark, like a night owl in the dark.
"Aha, I can't wait, I really get goosebumps on my back with excitement!"
Only the young man with weak legs was left on his knees, his crotch wet yes, he was scared to pee.
On the other side, Harvey and Gordon, who finally caught the handle of the gang, commanded the police of the entire city to arrest people everywhere in Gotham, and in just one afternoon, they arrested nearly 400 people, in fact, if it weren't for Cyber's killing, the number of people they finally caught would definitely be far more than this number, which is simply a scene in Gotham.
Even the reporters of the New York Times heard the shocking news, and they waited all the way in helicopters outside the police station and the prosecutor's office, waiting to cover the operation on the spot, and by the end of the arrest, the whole of Gotham knew of Harvey Dent's reputation, and Harvey's behavior was more acceptable than the frightening madness of the Red Devil.
After all, the only thing that the people can rely on is the justice of the law, and in the past few decades, there has hardly been a strong enough and decent enough enforcer of the law to enforce the law that was originally used to protect them, and Harvey is the first!
However, at this time, the "knight who brings light", praised by the whole city, is sitting in the mayor's office, receiving inquiries from Mr. Mayor Nestor, and next to the mayor is the silent Chief Gordon, and the judge of the Gotham court.
"A staggering number of 413 people. ”
Nestor put down the report in his hand, he played with his cigar cutter, this quite accomplished, but also quite young mayor leaned back in his chair, he looked at Harvey, who was sitting opposite,
"I'm curious, Harvey, how did you convince Gordon to go crazy with you, and Judge Cerero is actually going to join this show, do you know, since the beginning of the afternoon, the three phones in my office have been blown up, and I don't even dare to open my own phone now"
It was evident that Mr. Mayor was annoyed, but Harvey only shrugged his shoulders, and he glanced at the silent Gordon, and then at the judge standing beside the mayor, who smiled kindly at him,
"It's probably because he shares my heart for justice, after all, Mr. Gordon is a police officer, and Ms. Serero is a judge. ”
"Well, I don't want to hear that!"
The mayor interrupted Harvey's remarks that the people who can sit in this position have long since lost the simple division between good and evil, and he is more concerned about the opinions of the voters who support him to sit on the mayor's throne, and the attitudes of the entrepreneurs who have contributed to his politics.
But Mr. Nestor alone knew this, and before he could speak, Harvey said bluntly,
"I know that the record of these more than 400 people will break the history of Gotham, and even the entire East Coast, but it doesn't matter that the bosses have money, but unfortunately the lower thugs and the guys who do things for them don't, they can't afford to wait for the waiting period for appeals and huge fines, they will bow to us, and come to an agreement, Mr. Mayor"
Harvey placed a hand on the table, his fingertips playing with his silver coin, and his voice became sensual,
"Without the bosses of his subordinates, there is no deterrent, they can't always sell drugs on their own, like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, and as long as those intermediaries reveal the slightest bit of useful stuff, we can catch them back at any time, Mr. Mayor, can you imagine Gotham that has not committed a crime for a whole year?"
What I said above was all nonsense, only this sentence made Mr. Nestor stop playing with the cigar cutter, he closed his eyes, thought slightly for a few seconds, and had to say that Harvey's eloquence was very good, and he successfully impressed the mayor.
Mr. Nestor leaned forward slightly in the posture of a superior person, he looked at Harvey, and his tone was cautious,
"Tell me, do you know what that means?"
Harvey spread his hands and made a helpless expression on his face,
"Assassinations, explosions, bullets, I know, but I'm not here for this?"
"From today onwards, it's not just gangsters, businessmen, officials, and even the police"
Nestor glanced at Gordon and continued, "Any guy with a no longer bulging wallet will follow you, are you sure you can?"
Harvey took a deep breath,
"I'm sure, I've seen the dawn of Gotham. ”
"Good. ”
Mr. Mayor leaned back in his chair again, his whole body relaxed, and he waved his hand, "I approve it, go do it, guys." ”
On the other side, in a dimly lit other house, a gloomy Selena took the most expensive pizza from the pizzeria, she was still wearing the most expensive dress she had ever bought, but the carefully packed suitcase was set aside, and yes, she didn't leave.
She sighed and looked left and right, this place where she had lived for 2 years, she suddenly felt that in fact, she also had a home, right here, this place was not luxurious, but it could make her feel warm, but at this time, there was another guy in this house where no man had ever been.
Selena held the fragrant pizza, she walked in the dark, her steps were stinking and agile, she pushed the door open, but the next moment, a pair of arms bounced out of her side, and fixed Selena's neck in a hurry, and the pizza in her hand flew into the sky, and the poor lady only had time to let out a scream, and everything in front of her was spinning.
Her back hit the wall, and in the darkness in front of her, a heavy-breathing guy pressed his steel-like arms against her neck, leaning his whole body up.
Don't get me wrong, this guy didn't mean to do anything bad, he just used a special hand sail Selena to fix it in place, and now the mechanical lady felt pain all over her body, and she couldn't even move a writing finger, she screamed in the dark,
"Enough E hands, let go of G Selena, I saved you, what the hell do you want to do?"
This hoarse cry brought the chaotic Cyber back to his senses, he subconsciously took a step back, like a retreating beast into the darkness, he was manipulated by the beast's perception to feel the whole body move, and when Selena turned on the light, he saw Cyber wrapping her sheet around his waist.
"Oh my"
Selena even forgot about her fright at this moment, because she saw Cyber's chest, not only the near-perfect muscles, but also the injury, the terrible, the wound that looked like it had been burned by being thrown into flames, the chest torn by metal fragments, and when Cyber turned around, she reached out and covered her mouth.
That kind of injury is very disgusting, and it also makes people wonder what kind of terrible disaster the man in front of him has experienced, and how he survived.
Selena ignored Selena's surprise, he reached out and picked up the pizza scattered everywhere on the ground, regardless of the dust, and stuffed it into his mouth, he was very hungry and hungry, and urgently needed to replenish energy, and in the process of eating like a beast, Selena was surprised to see that those terrible wounds were squirming at a speed visible to the naked eye, and when a whole pizza that could feed 3 strong men was eaten by Seber, the injuries on his back had recovered too much.
It's still scary, but at least it's gone.
"Whew"
Coming to his senses, he moved his shoulders, turned around, looked at Selena who was cowering in the corner, and said very seriously,
"Thank you, I owe you my life!"
Selena didn't know how to answer, but the next moment, Cyber's face became strange,
"By the way, do you have clothes here that men can wear?"
