Chapter 550: The Dark Knight's First Mission
It's a very hypocritical dinner, and Earl tries hard to play a mature, steady, wise, and emotional old man, who cares for and admonishes Bruce Wayne in all aspects. Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, strives to play a gentleman who has suffered a severe blow in his childhood and grows up to give up on himself.
Therefore, the two can be regarded as a tacit understanding to a certain extent, so both of them got what they wanted, and this was a banquet for the guests and hosts.
Rorschach has been quietly enjoying this performance, and I have to say that Bruce Wayne's acting skills are much better than Earl's. At the very least, many people can see that Earl is pretending to care about Bruce Wayne, but no one can see that Bruce Wayne is a fake fool.
Rorschach and Wanda leave the hotel and walk through Gotham City late at night.
The night breeze was a bit chilly and had an unpleasantly fishy smell. It smelled like blood, and it smelled like rust.
"Would you be interested in seeing what happened tonight?" Rorschach said to Wanda.
"No, I'm going to have a court session tomorrow. You know, one of Fecony's boss thugs retracted his confession on the spot, and that was almost the equivalent of having to do the whole case all over again. Wanda refused.
"Okay, then I'll go see this show myself, I'll shoot it." Rorschach said jokingly.
The two were talking and laughing when suddenly a figure in a hoodie appeared in the dimly lit street.
"Don't move, hand over your wallet ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Rorschach's fist had already punched the man out.
"Gotham City is a great place." Rorschach said with emotion.
Evil is playing out in all corners of the city, Gotham City is gradually corrupting, and the city needs a hero to delay the end of its collapse.
And this hero, at this time, was wearing a suit of armor and wearing a mask to the outside of the detention center of the police station.
This is the first time Bruce Wayne has appeared as the Dark Knight, and the original plan was to go to Jim Gordon, the last good cop in Gotham City, and plan with him how to take down Boss Ficony.
It's just that the plan can't catch up with the change, and one of Ficoni's subordinates doesn't know why he suddenly defected, and he actually planned to confess all of Fecconi's crimes. And tomorrow is the time for the second court appearance, and if Ficony wants to solve this problem, he can only do it tonight.
Therefore, Bruce Wayne must ensure that Saz lives to the second trial.
But there was no point in staying outside, because Fecony's men never had to break down doors to get inside the police station. Instead, Bruce Wayne wants to save people, but instead wants to break through the guards.
The Wayne Group's applied science division used to manufacture individual weapons and armor for the U.S. military, and the lightweight armor they produced was almost invulnerable, but the cost of a single piece was $300,000, so it was impossible to mass-produce it.
Only Bruce Wayne, a billionaire, can use this armor as an interchangeable regular piece of equipment.
The windows on the second floor were shattered, and several police officers on night duty were easily knocked unconscious by Bruce Wayne, and then the billionaire managed to infiltrate the police station.
The cell was at the end of the second floor, and it was supposed to be used for ordinary criminals such as thieves, and it stands to reason that felons like Saz should be sent to a more heavily guarded area.
But today's Gotham laws and rules are so fragile that they have almost lost most of their effectiveness.
When Bruce Wayne arrived at Satz's detention cell, the tainted witness was being strangled by two big men with ropes. Apparently, Fecony's men intended to disguise suicide, which was just the right time to give Bruce Wayne a chance to save lives.
If they had planned to use a gun in the first place, I'm afraid he would have been too late.
"You're going to mind Boss Ficony's business? Aren't you afraid of the death of your family? The big man who strangled Saz by the neck said to Bruce Wayne.
"I'm not just going to take care of that, I'm going to take care of Ficoni." Bruce Wayne spoke.
"Oh, let's see what you're up to." One of the two big men pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Bruce Wayne.
In the face of this heavily armed man in black, these gangsters did not hesitate at all, and directly pulled the trigger. It's just that the bullet that landed on Bruce Wayne's body only made his body pause slightly, but it couldn't stop him from rushing forward.
The fist landed on the big man's face, knocking half of his teeth away.
But before Bruce Wayne could finish the other one, the gunshot rang out, and the man gave up the inefficient strangulation and shot directly at Satz.
"No!"
Bruce Wayne shouted, but even though he quickly knocked out the other big man, he couldn't recover the bullets from before.
Looking at Saz who fell to the ground, the expression under Bruce Wayne's mask was full of self-blame, this was his first time on a dark mission, but nothing was a complete failure.
Regardless of how Saz died, as long as he could not go to court, Ficoni once again escaped the law.
But just when Bruce Wayne was deeply blaming himself for his failure, Saz, who was already certain to die, suddenly coughed and got up from the ground.
"I ...... I'm not dead? ”
Saz himself was amazed, he was strangled by the rope just now, and then he was shot three times, and he lost consciousness at that time.
But now, apart from the pain in his neck, there are no other scars on his body.
Bruce Wayne was surprised to flip over his body and find three bullet holes in his clothes. But the metal bullet seemed to have struck something harder than a bullet armor, and turned into three flat metal rounds that remained on Satz's skin.
It looked like Saz had suddenly become invulnerable and had gained superpowers.
"No, how could this happen?" Bruce Wayne looked around in amazement, but didn't see anyone.
But for some reason, Bruce Wayne's mind suddenly appeared with the "old man" he had seen today.
Tying up the two unconscious Feconi men, Bruce Wayne quickly left the police station. But when he was about to retreat into the darkness again, he found someone waiting for him in that dark alley.
"Rorschach, it's really you, you did it just now?"
Bruce Wayne did not hide his identity, and in the face of this mysterious "old man", he knew that his secret had already been seen through by him.
"I just don't want Wanda to work overtime tonight in vain, Saz is dead, and she won't be able to hold court tomorrow, then she will be very disappointed."
"She's a prosecutor?" Bruce Wayne said with a little surprise.
In this situation, prosecutors who dare to accept cases related to Boss Ficony can be said to be rare.
"Assistant to the prosecutor, assistant to Rachel Dawes." Rorschach emphasized the name.
Hearing the name, Bruce Wayne suddenly didn't know what to say.
Instead of continuing the awkward conversation, Rorschach reminded, "Bruce, while you're very skilled, you seem to be inexperienced in chivalry. If you continue to be so careless, there is a good chance that you will lose the people you cherish. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Bruce Wayne asked.
"Just a word of advice, by the way, tonight's help is charged. When Wayne Group goes public, I want you to give me 10 percent of the shares. Rorschach said.
