At 8 o'clock in the morning, Bruce Wayne, dressed in a suit and dressed very formally, walked into the Batcave in the dockland area accompanied by Afu.

"To be honest, I hated this place at first. ”

Ah Gan chattered like an ordinary old man, he looked at the space that had been carried here, he laughed,

"It's a bit too damp for the elderly, and I even prefer the one below the manor, which at least has central air conditioning. ”

"From today onwards, we may not have to live like this anymore, we will all settle down. ”

Bruce reached out and stroked the dark grid with some nostalgia, he pressed it gently, and the ground cracked, and what popped out was an empty bracket where there were originally two bat suits, one was "borrowed" by Cyber, and the other was taken back to Wayne Tower.

"That's where we make the whole city better. ”

Ah Fu picked up the papers on the table, opened the specially made incinerator, threw everything into it, and turned it into a cloud of ashes that no one could see.

"Are these things going to be burned too?"

Alfred picked up some of the papers and said to Bruce, "Here's some information on the Batsuit's previous upgrades, and I think it's better for us to keep them." ”

"Burn it, Ah Fu. ”

Bruce muttered to himself, "Burn the past to live a better life." ”

Alfred shrugged, "Well, that's what you want, I said, they might catch me too, and say I'm your accomplice." ”

"No, no, no, Ah Fu. ”

Bruce chuckled, "I'll tell them that you orchestrated everything, and that I'm just an accomplice... Ah Fu?"

No one answered, and Bruce turned around and saw Ah Fu, and the young man standing beside him, wearing a black trench coat and carrying a sheathed straight-edged knife.

Cyber Hawke!

"Hey, you're really good enough, you can find out where I've been hiding for the past few days..."

Cyber helped Ah Fu pat the ashes on his body, he reached out and took the documents from Ah Fu's hand, he looked at it without raising his head and asked,

"Why, are you going to fight with me? I can let you go and change your clothes first, your suit looks quite expensive. ”

"You've been hiding here all these days?"

Bruce wasn't very angry, and Rachel told him everything Cyber had done, and he still believed that Cyber had good intentions toward them.

"yes, it's too difficult to find a place in Gotham where you can monitor the outside and not be discovered, so you haven't been here for a few days, so I'll sleep here, you won't mind, right?"

Cyber put the papers in his hand on the table, he looked up and looked at Bruce like an old friend, but the coldness in his eyes couldn't escape Bruce's eyes, and then he heard this guy say,

"I heard you're scared of the clown, you're going to surrender?"

Bruce pursed his lips and didn't speak, he knew how poisonous Cyber's mouth was, and Cyber continued to ask,

"Surrender can be exchanged for lives, right?"

"Hmm"

Bruce nodded, and a hint of mockery flashed in Cyber's eyes,

"Can it be exchanged for dignity?"

"Can it get that madman to his knees and let him hear the screams of the souls buried in the ground?"

Cyber walked over slowly, he looked into Bruce's eyes,

"There was a time when I thought that the city was going to change, and I thought that one day, it would be reborn in your hands, and I knew you had a plan, and I knew what you wanted to do. ”

"But that's not a reason for you to sacrifice the name Batman... Compared to Bruce Wayne, Batman is my friend, my opponent, not you. ”

"Do you know what I would do if I were faced with this situation?"

Cyber reached out and nodded at Bruce's heart, "You have to show that you don't want anything, you have to show that you don't care about anything... A person who doesn't care about anything has no weaknesses. ”

"The clown wants you to see that at a critical juncture, these self-proclaimed civilized people you protect will kill each other without any scruples, and he has succeeded in doing it, and the people you protect, the first target to raise a knife is you, they feel threatened, they will eat you... Drowning people who can't save themselves are not worth saving, and their madness will drag the rescuers into the water together. ”

"If it were me, I would let him kill, and if he didn't kill fast enough, if he wasn't ruthless enough, I would help him. ”

Cyber spread his hands, like a man who embraced the world, "The Joker can eat you because you're too kind, Bruce, you want to save everyone, but you can't put fangs on your kindness so that the people who abandon you know that they will bleed when they touch you!"

Bruce looked at Cyber and said calmly,

"I'm not you, and I'm not going to be you. ”

"That's why you take off your mask like a lost dog, you think you won, but you lose, Batman is dead, and the last pillar of Gotham is down. ”

The tone of the sparse Sai Bo turned around and hugged Ah Fu with a complicated face as a farewell, he picked up the file in his hand and shrugged his shoulders at Bruce,

"Everything about Gotham has taught me a truth: either die like a hero, or live to see yourself a villain, I'm not a hero, I'm not going to die... Good luck, Bruce. ”

At 9 o'clock in the morning, at the press conference of Gotham City Hall, the celebrities and representatives of the people throughout Gotham, as well as the media, were all crowded here, and only 400 people were evacuated to 600 people, and many more people were waiting at the door of the city hall.

An unspeakable emotion spread through the crowd, silent, restless, restless, and some were denouncing those around them, calling them cowards and traitors, but many more were silent.

Harvey Dent stood in the candy drop, his expression calm, Mayor Nestor and the others were late, they were in the first row, Bruce Wayne was in the second row, and there were many other businessmen, they greeted each other, and everyone was waiting.

Today, Batman will reveal his identity to deal with the Joker's increasingly unscrupulous challenge, and the sadness of a person with a bottom line is that they are often manipulated by people without a bottom line and forced to do a lot of things they can't do.

The wall clock on the wall pointed steadily to 9 o'clock, and Harvey took a deep breath as he strode to the front of the podium.

"Today, we are here to announce a sad news..."

As soon as Harvey's words fell, a man dressed as a reporter shouted,

"Enough people have died in Batman Stand Up in City B!"

His speech immediately resonated with many people, who raised their hands and shouted all sorts of slogans, and Harvey raised his voice,

"Yes, today, Batman will stand up and show his identity to the city, but as a member of this city, I don't see it as a salvation. ”

He looked at everyone in front of him, and the stern gaze quieted them, and Harvey suddenly felt that the people sitting here were so ridiculous, they really thought that if they handed over their protector, Batman, the Joker would let them go?

In the face of a mad dog, any weakness will make them even more unscrupulous.

He breathed a sigh of relief,

"From my point of view, Batman is breaking the law, and I really want him to turn himself in, but we're not doing it at this time... We're scared, we'd love to see Batman clean up the criminals for us..."

"But it's so much worse than it used to be, and he didn't do it!"

Another man in a suit stood up and shouted, "Every day people die, it's for an absurd reason, the city doesn't need a knight who is above the law!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice hidden in the crowd rang out,

"Yes, it's all because of Batman, the Joker has never done anything like this in the city before it appeared!"

Harvey didn't bother to argue with them anymore, there were high-sounding people everywhere, and once they were pressed to the neck with a knife, they showed their cowardly nature, and he propped his hands on the podium, he said,

"Yes... I don't deny it, it's a bad order right now, but I think anybody sitting here knows that the night before dawn is always the darkest, and I assure you that the dawn is coming... Someday, Batman will apologize to us for breaking the law, but that's for us, not for the madman!"

Harvey's roaring voice rang out in the hall of the press conference,

"I have always believed that this city will return to its rightful ways, rather than let darkness and evil reign over it, and I know that this city will not bow to evil, and our people will not hand over their heroes to that villain..."

"He's not a hero {just a masked paranoid who tries to be above everyone with his own view of good and evil, Gotham doesn't need such a hero, it needs an enforcer of law and justice, it's Harvey, it's you!

The voice made Harvey's last persuasion come to naught, and the mood of the crowd, which had just eased a little, was provoked again, and those who were frightened began to frantically support this statement, while others who supported Batman began to quarrel and fight with them, and the scene was chaotic to the extreme.

"Alright, alright#Come down!"

A mocking smile appeared on Harvey's face, he really saw the ugliness of human nature today, he raised his hand and shouted,

"Well, now, let's arrest Batman, he's sitting among us!"

These words made everyone stop what they were doing and began to look at anyone around them, and Bruce, who had a gloomy face, was ready to get up and greet all this, but the next moment, Harvey walked out of the podium, stood next to the two policemen, and stretched out his hands.

"I just... Batman. ”

Bruce was stunned, Mayor Nestor was stunned, Ah Fu was standing on the side, everyone else was stunned, and in fact, everyone in front of the entire Gotham TV was stunned.

Even Cyber, who was sitting in the Golden Arches restaurant eating at this time, was stunned.

"It's..."

Saiber put down the chicken leg in his hand, and with his sunglasses, he looked at the picture on the TV, and he tried to find an adjective to describe Harvey Dent's behavior, but he couldn't speak, and eventually, he swayed.

"This guy, what a mess!"

"What's going on! Harvey, why would he do that?"

Rachel, who was observing the live broadcast, got up from the sofa, she looked at Lucius beside her a little confused, who also took off her glasses, and only after more than ten seconds did Lucius speak,

"Harvey Dent must have sensed something from what Bruce said, he didn't want Batman to be exposed like that, he became that target so that Batman could move freely, he took the Joker with him, and now the Joker has to act, even if he feels wrong, he has to do it..."

"He used his own methods to drive that madman into a corner... This young man is really good!"

"But Harvey, he's going to be in absolute danger..."

Rachel rummaged through her bag with some anxiety, and finally flipped to her phone, and she pressed the dial button,

"Cyber, please protect Harvey, he shouldn't have done this. ”

"Hmm... It's an interesting guy who made a self-sacrifice, he's saving himself, okay, I agree. ”
