New Arkham Asylum.

Harvey Dent was huddled on the bed in the corner of his cell, the room was unlit, and the whole room was shrouded in darkness.

From the outside, there might be only one person in this room for most people, but not for Harvey. Harvey could see the presence of another person, the half of the personality that had once represented the disfigurement of his face, everywhere in the shadows, chattering at him.

Two days ago, news of Batman's death spread throughout Arkham. The madhouse was a rare sensation for a news piece that almost completely dominated the daily discussions of the inmates, for whom Batman's death was particularly unacceptable.

And this news has also triggered a negative effect on some patients, such as Harvey Dent. The latent personality in his heart was like a beast that had been awakened by an opportunity, bewitching his mind in every part of his life.

"You know, right?" The man in the shadows said to him, "This is fate, a predetermined fate, and there is no escaping it. ”

"Shut up." Harvey said.

"Don't try to resist, or run away." The man said, "You want to say it was just an accident at first, right?" I was created. But after that, you also have to accept the fact that I'm a part of who you are, and you have to accept yourself and become who you are. ”

"Shut up." Harvey added, "Let me think about it. ”

"Oh, time waits for no one, Harvey." The man said, "Now." It's the best time to do it. Think about what we have accomplished! Back then, we used to control the whole city with one hand, and the only one in front of us was Batman! Now, Batman is dead, but how are things going? Copote's ugly bird is in charge, and the whole Gotham is in chaos, and any of the thugs with a bit of power are trying to get a piece of the pie. It's a golden age, isn't it, Harvey? If you think about it, you can choose to rot in this broken cell while a bunch of beam-jumping clowns are out there claiming the throne, or you can choose to go out and we can do more together. Just like before. ”

Harvey closed his eyes slightly. After pondering for a moment, he pulled a coin out of the sole of his shoe and tossed it so that it landed on the back of his hand, covering it with one hand.

After glancing at it, he put away the coin and said lightly, "Okay then, we'll go out tonight." But before we can do that, we need to find a way to get into the chemistry room and we need a little bit of sulfuric acid. ”

Night.

Director Gordon's speech that day was inspiring, but unfortunately not always things are as rosy as speeches.

In any case, no one can deny that the loss of Batman was an unimaginably heavy blow to Gotham, leaving a huge hole. Admittedly, there are many other vigilantes in the city, but Batman has a special meaning unlike anyone else.

For the general public, his death symbolized a fall of hope; And for most criminals, this is almost the arrival of a "golden age" of crime.

In just one week, Gotham was in a mess. All the gangs, big and small, have risen up to make trouble, trying to take advantage of this great opportunity to expand their territory.

At first, there were some people who were optimistic that it was just a storm that would subside after a while. But things are getting worse by the day. Gotham is caught in a vicious circle, and when the gangsters learn of Batman's death, they realize that now is the perfect time for them to redraw Gotham, and everyone participates in this crime spree, with more and more young, ambitious gangs coming to the fore. The pressure on the Gotham police is increasing day by day, and the police are already on the verge of collapse. They have to endure long, dangerous and thankless patrols, while worrying about whether their families will be attacked. Many people find that they have no choice but to resign.

Unrest and looting are everywhere, and the acting mayor has declared a state of emergency in the city.

Maybe the city is just in transition, waiting, waiting for someone to show up who can restore the neighborhood to its original appearance.

Three hundred meters from the ground, in a certain motorboat.

A fierce and rapid gunfire rang out in the airship, and several gangsters who broke through the window could not help but say that it was a strafing shot, subduing everyone in a short moment before they could react.

"You two, guard the door over there. You guys, watch these pigs and tell them not to make small moves. The guy who looked like a squad leader at the head commanded.

Then, he walked straight to the back seat of the airship seat. The famous penguin man Oswald Cobott sat upright in this position, wearing a seatbelt.

"Fortunately, Mr. Copote." The little boss pointed a gun at Copote's pointed nose and said "politely," "My boss asked me to greet you." ”

Cobot raised an eyebrow: "Oh? I guess, your boss is the disgusting guy with two faces, right? ”

"If I were you, I'd have a little respect for Mr. Two-Face, Mr. Copote." "After all, you're the one with the gun pointed to the head." ”

"Interesting." Cobot snorted, "But I'm a little prepared. ”

A black batrang burst through the air and knocked the leader's gun to the ground.

"What!?"

One of Copote's bodyguards, dressed in black and sunglasses, stepped out of his seat and ripped off his digital mask, revealing a cross-sectional mask with short ears.

"Winged Knight?" The little boss was stunned, "Why did you take him!" ”

But someone was quicker than his men. The two middle-aged men with beer bellies who were staring at the seats jumped up with a dexterity that did not match their size at all, and subdued the group of miscellaneous soldiers before they even had time to react. During the whole process, no one even had time to fire a single shot.

Also tearing off the digital mask, these two are naturally Batgirl and Black Bat.

A few hours ago, the Two-Faced escaped from prison. It is said that he managed to get sulfuric acid, deliberately burned half of his face, and then escaped after killing a doctor and seriously injuring several nurses while on medical aid.

There is no doubt that it was Batman's death that spurred the complete awakening of the two-faced personality. He could have returned to Gotham for only one purpose - to re-establish his own empire. So his target is not the same as the petty gangs, he must be directly aiming for the biggest target, which is Colbert.

That's why Roy found Cobot ahead of time and convinced him to be the bait.

Unfortunately, the Two-Faced seemed to be a little more cautious and didn't come in person.

Roy grabbed the leader by the collar and pressed him against the edge of the broken window.

"Take it easy," he said in a low voice, "I just need you to bring a message to your chief......" (To be continued.) )
