While Harvey was entangled, Rachel, who was in another room, slowly woke up.

When she found herself trapped in the hospital bed, she immediately struggled desperately, but she couldn't break free from the dozen or so restraint belts tied to her body.

After wasting a lot of effort, he lay helplessly on the bed, panting heavily.

At this moment, a voice rang in my ears.

"Rachel Gyllenhaal, a beautiful girl."

"With your beauty and talent, you wandered between the two Gotham knights and caused them a lot of trouble."

"Now, you finally have a chance to repay them."

"See how much you're willing to pay for these two men who love you."

"There's a controller on your left hand with a button on it, press it and Batman and Harvey Dent will survive, but you'll die."

"If you don't do anything, then the two of them will die."

"It's up to you to decide whether to live or die."

The sound died down, and the room returned to calm.

Rachel's eyes were full of horror, and sure enough, she touched a rectangular controller on her left-hand side.

Next to her carotid artery, there was a syringe held in mid-air, containing a lethal toxin.

At the push of a button on the controller, the robotic arm that holds the syringe in place automatically delivers the toxin into her.

So, when she touched the controller, Rachel immediately threw it aside in fear, as if she had touched a poisonous snake.

But soon, she picked up the controller again and held it tightly in her hand.

Then he looked at the pure white ceiling in front of him, motionless, as if paralyzed.

She usually has a decisive personality, but she can't help but fall into a tangle at this time, one is a man she loves deeply, and the other is a childhood sweetheart, who also has deep feelings.

It stands to reason that either of the two people is worth her saving, but if the price to pay is her own life......

Unless you are a saint who has no desires and no desires, you will inevitably think about whether it is worth it or not.

In the other room, Bruce, who couldn't hear the sound at all, couldn't help but be a little crazy, as if he was out of the way, desperate to know what was going on in the room where the two of them were.

"Damn, what the hell did you do to them!"

Like an ant on a hot pot, he kept circling the room, questioning loudly and checking the walls for secret doors or other places where he might be allowed to get out.

Time was ticking, and with 15 minutes left before time went to zero, the tangled Harvey Dent finally moved.

He first took off his shirt to reveal his muscular body, which he had exercised regularly, to prevent the strong acid from corroding and causing the clothes and skin to stick together.

Although Harvey is not a chemistry major, the basic common sense is to know a little.

Then, he kept standing in place and moving his body, and inhaled and exhaled heavily, and after a few minutes, he mustered up the courage to slowly lie on the ground.

But the cold floor gave him goosebumps in an instant, and he almost jumped up.

Fortunately, Harvey didn't in the end, and his body quickly adapted to the temperature.

But the closer he got to the pool, the stronger the unique smell of the strong acid became, passing through his mouth and nose and reaching the heavenly spirit cover, and he couldn't even open his eyes.

The pool of strong acid with Rachel's name written on it was within reach, and through the slightly thick liquid, the bottom of the pool could be vaguely seen, and there was something in the shape of a key.

It seemed that he could easily pick it up as long as he put his hand inside.

Maybe it won't hurt so much soon......

Harvey Dante, who was still holding on to his luck, suddenly stretched out his hand to the pool.

But at the moment when his fingers were about to touch the acid, he quickly withdrew his hand, protected it to his chest, and lay on the floor with his back facing the sky, his chest rising and falling violently.

Harvey, who has always shown himself with an iron face, is now about to cry: "I'm sorry, I can't do it, really, very sorry." ”

The floor beneath him was cold, but he was covered in sweat.

As a prosecutor, Harvey has been exposed to several cases of strong acid injuries, so whenever he makes up his mind and is ready to reach out.

The horrific appearance of those victims will hover in their minds.

At this point, another five minutes passed quietly.

As if to allow him to make a choice as soon as possible, a sharp phone rang in the room.

Frightened, Harvey slammed up from the ground and looked around vigilantly.

Eventually, a glued cell phone was found underneath the keyhole podium.

He forgot to check here just now, so he couldn't see it.

Harvey pulled the phone down hard, then pressed the connect button, and asked tentatively:

"Hello?"

"Harvey?"

On the other side of the phone, Rachel's voice trembled slightly because she was nervous.

As soon as he heard her voice, Harvey immediately switched his phone to the other ear, then walked to the corner of the room away from the strong acid pool, and asked with concern:

"Rachel, how are you, are you okay?"

"They didn't do anything to you, do you know where you are?"

Rachel, who was about to make a decision, burst into tears as soon as she heard his voice, as if she had found an outlet. Crying and saying:

"I'm fine, everything is fine, don't worry about me."

But no matter how Harvey asked, Rachel didn't say anything about her situation, just sobbed vigorously.

Looking at the digital clock on the wall that was about to reset to zero, the Knight of Light finally made up his mind, took a few steps to the edge of the strong acid pool, and lay down again.

After roaring angrily, he gritted his teeth and resolutely put his hand in.

The strong acid that came into contact with the foreign matter quickly began to react, and the foul-smelling green smoke rose, and the entire pool of water surged as if it were boiling.

Countless fine bubbles emerged from the surface of the water, accompanied by a popping sound.

But Harvey Dent couldn't hear anything at this point, and the heart-wrenching pain made him lose all perception of the outside world.

Now, he fully understands what it means to live rather than die.

The pain made Harvey's face bloodshot and red, his handsome features twisted into a ball, his whole body shaking uncontrollably, and his ears buzzing.

Even so, his hand tried to reach the bottom of the pool.

The strong acids in the pool are extremely corrosive, and also have strong dewatering and oxidizing properties.

In addition to hydrolysis reactions with proteins and fats in the flesh, it can cause severe chemical burns.

It also reacts with carbohydrates and carbonizes them with highly exothermic dehydration, causing second-degree flame burns.

If the exposure time is too long, or if the contact area is too large, it can be life-threatening.

In order to prevent being burned, what Harvey has to do now is to get the key to the bottom of the pool as soon as possible.

But when Lu Wu first arranged this scene, the most insidious design was that when Harvey put his entire arm into the pool of strong acid, his fingertips were just a little bit away from the key.

So what is the distance from this point?

All it takes is for our Knight of Light to poke half of his body in, so that the acid goes over his shoulders and touches the skin on his face.

Just in time, you can get the key that is located at the bottom of the pool.
