For this, Bruce did not hide from Harvey.

For such a dangerous decision involving the safety of life, Bruce tries not to help others make judgments.

What's more, Harvey has not met with Batman, as early as when the Joker issued a murder announcement, Batman, Harvey, and Gordon talked on the rooftop of the police station.

"Rachel forget it, but I'm going to be the bait!"

After learning about this, Harvey did not show a half-frightened expression, and his expression was very determined.

"But if you don't get one right, you might die because of it!" Gordon said anxiously.

Harvey shook his head: "There is an old saying in the East, there is a good saying, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?" ”

"That crazy clown is now eyeing me and Rachel, he won't give up, so we might as well take the initiative!"

Bruce is currently disguised as Batman, and he said in a deep voice: "Harvey, you are a symbol of the light of Gotham City, you have to think about it carefully, Gotham City can't live without you!" ”

Harvey smiled casually: "That's why I can't back down in the face of evil. ”

Seeing that Gordon and Batman still wanted to dissuade him, Harvey took out a coin and said, "Whenever I have trouble making a decision, I use this lucky coin to make decisions." ”

"That's good, if the avatar is up, I'll continue to participate in the charity dinner as bait, otherwise I'll listen to you and hide."

With that, Harvey tossed a coin and caught it again.

"You see, it's the head facing up...... It seems that fate has decided, let me be the bait. ”

Bruce shook his head slightly, in fact, he had already seen through Harvey's trick.

Harvey's lucky coin does not have a front or back, both sides are avatars, so as Harvey often says: "I don't follow luck, I take the initiative to create luck." ”

Although Harvey may degenerate into a supervillain "two-faced" in the future, it has to be said that before Harvey's fall, he was really an upright and courageous person, and he had no other shortcomings except for being a little irritable.

Therefore, seeing that Harvey had made up his mind, Bruce no longer dissuaded and agreed.

"Then be careful, I will hide in the charity gala, and I will do my best to protect you."

Harvey laughed: "Then you better use more energy to capture the clown, that's the most important thing!" ”

……

The charity gala, led by Wayne Group, was held as scheduled.

In the luxurious hotel banquet hall, the magnately dressed dignitaries and dignitaries mingle with each other.

But the two most high-profile characters are undoubtedly the two absolute protagonists tonight - Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dante.

I saw Bruce wearing a custom-made black evening dress, he stood handsomely on the red carpet, raised his eyebrows slightly, and he exuded infinite charm under the light.

Everyone cast appreciative and envious glances at him, and applause and cheers came one after another.

He was followed by Harvey, who was tall and straight, wearing a dark blue suit with an elegant cut.

Harvey confidently walked the red carpet and exchanged greetings with a smile.

A thunderous round of applause fell, and many famous media outlets quickly boiled, and the camera kept turning to record this wonderful moment of prosperity.

"Long time no see, Harvey."

"Thank you for the gala for me, Bruce.

Bruce and Harvey looked at each other, smiled and paused, before staggering back and forth through the crowd.

They stopped at each table to talk to the guests, listen to them, and show grace and conversation.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out!

Terrorists in clown masks burst into the banquet hall from all directions, armed with spears and cannons, and let out crazy laughter that was terrifying!

"What's going on?!"

"What's going on!?"

"Help! Help me! ”

The people immediately fell into panic, and screams and exclamations of terror filled the entire banquet hall.

But then, the terrorists mercilessly pointed their guns at the participants of the party, forcing them to stand still.

The originally joyful atmosphere instantly became tense and depressing, and everyone looked at each other, helplessness and fear flashed in their panicked eyes.

Shrouded in their vicious gaze, the guests were all creepy, and a sense of fear filled the air!

Both Bruce and Harvey quickly regained their composure, and the development was not what they expected.

"Good night, ladies and gentlemen!"

With a burst of gunfire, a clown in a purple suit strode inside.

"We're entertainers tonight, and we have some business to attend to with Mr. Harvey and Miss Rachel."

Of course, Rachel is not here, and both Bruce and Harvey love Rachel and will certainly not allow their sweetheart to be in danger.

"Looks like it's time......"

Bruce narrowed his eyes, the situation couldn't continue to develop, otherwise there might be guests on the scene who would be injured.

He secretly reached for his cuff and quietly took out a small button hidden inside, and pressed it gently.

The pre-arranged installation in the banquet hall quickly unfolded, emitting a puff of smoke that quickly enveloped the audience!

In an instant, the entire banquet hall was covered in a thick fog, and the terrorists were blocked from the scene before them.

"Oh? Looks like there's still an aftershow? ”

The clown spread his hands indifferently, and he didn't panic at all.

At this time, Bruce had already taken advantage of the smoke and chaos, quietly ran to the dark grid on the wall, opened the fingerprint lock and got in.

In the back chamber, the BAT armor is ready to be assembled and quickly assembled on Bruce's body by an automaton arm.

Seconds later, Gotham's Dark Knight burst out and brutally cleaned up the Joker's men!

Trapped in the smoke, the terrorists are constantly trying to find Bruce's location, but Bruce's reaction speed is unbelievably fast.

Using his skillful fighting skills and agility, he weaves his way through the smoke and quickly destroys the terrorists.

One of the terrorists felt a tightness in his neck, his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.

Then, Bruce quickly burrowed into another corner of the smoke, and several more screams rang out!

The terrorists are terrified, their targets are elusive, and they can't hide from Batman's shadows.

And all their counterattacks are useless in front of BAT armor, and they can basically only be beaten and unable to fight back!

As a terrorist was retreating, he was knocked out from behind by Bruce when he inadvertently struck his feet into the air.

In one move, he could no longer stand up!

Powerful punches and kicks slashed through the air, and the terrorists felt only a sharp pain, and then they all lost consciousness!

In the smoke, Bruce quickly shuttled between different enemies, disrupting the terrorists with his masterful tactics and nimble movements.

With incredible speed and accurate strike points, he ruthlessly subdued the terrorists.

The terrorists felt that they had fallen prey to Bruce, and they dodged in vain.

Bruce's shot was swift and accurate, and he seemed to be able to perceive everything in the dark!

Seeing that the only remaining mastermind clown was still struggling, Bruce's eyes were resolute, and he stepped forward step by step to push the clown into a desperate situation!

"Oh oh, you've won, Batboy, I'll take it away."

The clown saw that he was invincible, and he threw his gun very barely, and raised his hands to signal surrender.

Soon after, the police quickly suppressed the crowd and took all the terrorists, including the clown, back.

"No identity, no name...... He's like a ghost that suddenly appears. ”

At the Gotham City Police Department, Gordon looked at the documents in front of him in distress.

"If you want to know this, you might as well ask him directly."

A deep voice sounded behind him, startling Gordon.

"Ahh You...... You're always so elusive, Batman. ”

Gordon jumped up from his chair suddenly, and looked back helplessly, and sure enough, it was Batman in pitch black.

"Why are you here?"

"I always felt a little wrong when I went back," Bruce mused, "I could have guessed that the Joker was going to do it at the charity dinner, and the Joker must have known that." ”

"But he's still here, and that's a little too easy...... So I just went to investigate, and Harvey Dent didn't come home. ”

"What did you say!?"

Gordon chuckled in his heart and immediately called his men to contact Harvey.

However...... Sure enough, there was no response.

Harvey seems to have completely evaporated from the world!

Gordon's face darkened, and he rushed to the interrogation room in a rage.

"Didn't he say anything useful?"

Seeing that his subordinates nodded, Gordon directly pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in.

"Good evening, Mr. Director." The clown appears polite.

Harvey ...... What did you do to Harvey!? ”

In the face of Gordon's opening, the Joker tilted his head.

"Me?"

"I've always been here."

As he spoke, the clown showed off the shackles on his hands.

"Why don't you ask yourself, who will you send him to?"

"Your men? Of course...... Let's say they're still your men. ”

"Do you feel frustrated? Mr. Director? It turns out that you've been fighting alone. ”

"Do you feel guilty about Harvey's current situation?"

Gordon didn't talk nonsense to him: "Where's Harvey?" ”

"What time is it?" The Joker asked.

"What does it have to do with where Harvey is now?"

"Know what time it is...... I can find out where he's being held now, or if he's everywhere. ”

When Gordon heard this, he chuckled again.

Obviously, Harvey is in a dangerous situation right now!

He took a deep breath and walked out of the interrogation room in silence.

But that doesn't mean Gordon gives up, Bruce emerges from the shadows behind the clown and slaps his head on the table!

With a "bang", the clown's forehead broke and blood flowed, but he didn't care.

"Oh, I know...... But don't start from the beginning, or the victim will faint and feel nothing. ”

Bruce didn't bother to pay attention to the Joker's live teaching, and gave him another hard punch, and the Joker shook it but laughed.

"You see, it's like me, right?"

"You're looking for me, so I'm here." Bruce cut him off directly.

"Ah, of course you're here, otherwise this show won't be in vain tonight?"

The clown licked his lips and held up a finger.

"Guess the riddle, Batboy...... Under what circumstances are people the most relaxed? ”

Bruce's heart flickered as he saw the Joker asking himself questions and answering himself in a wild laugh.

"That's right, just when you think you've solved your heart's problems! Just like tonight! Hahahahaha! ”

Bruce narrowed his eyes, he knew that the Joker couldn't control the rhythm of the conversation, so he didn't answer him.

"Why did you kill me?"

"Kill you?" The clown's eyes widened in surprise, "No, no, no...... How could I want to kill you? ”

"What am I going to do without you? To rob the gangsters of money? It doesn't seem like there are many gangsters in Gotham City now, right? ”

Bruce muttered, "But you've been targeting me, do you think your words are convincing?" ”

The Joker shook his body: "That's because you're Batman!" How special it is for a masked vigilante to act chivalrous in the dark......"

"That's not the reason!" Bruce interrupted, "Fangs are also masked vigilantes, why haven't you ever mentioned him?" ”

The clown shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fangs? Ah, I remember, isn't that just a boring dark hero, not interesting at all......"

"Only you are special, Batman! Your not-you-kill philosophy, your ridiculous insistence, everything that makes you so special! ”

"So only you can make me whole!" The clown said intoxicatedly, "You are a freak in everyone's eyes, a person like me!" ”

"When they don't need you, it's too late to hide from you - their morality, their principles, it's all a bad joke, and they don't care about anything when trouble comes."

"When the prosperous times are peaceful, they are naturally safe, and I will explain to you, once it is a critical moment, these civilized people ...... They will kill each other! ”

Bruce couldn't take it anymore and lifted the clown's collar.

"Where's Harvey Dante!"

The clown chuckled fearlessly, "Tonight, you're going to break your principles...... There's not much time left, and if you want to save one of them, you'll have to play this little game of mine. ”

"Them?"

Bruce only felt a chill in his back, and immediately heard the last words he wanted to hear from the clown.

"Tonight, Ms. Rachel, who was supposed to be there, didn't seem to be here...... So you, who thought she was safe, put too much thought on Mr. Harvey. ”

Hearing this, Bruce understood everything - Rachel was caught too!

Bruston became enraged, slammed the door to the interrogation room with a chair, and beat the clown incessantly.

"Where are they!?"

Seeing that Batman had become so out of shape, even though he was beaten and his face was swollen, the Joker still laughed happily and twistedly.

"Hahahaha...... Killing is a choice, and you can only choose to save one of your lives. ”

"There's no middle ground, if the on-site device detects that one person has been rescued, the other person will immediately - boom!"

Harvey is at 250 Fifty-second Street and Rachel is at Cicero X Street...... Now, take the choosing! ”

However, after Bruce listened, his expression suddenly became very calm, and he directly let go of the clown.

Subsequently, he dialed Gori's phone.
