Harvey Bullock opened his eyes in a daze.

The indescribable expression of his partner James Gordon appeared in front of his eyes.

"Are you alright, Harvey?" Out of humanitarianism, although Gordon had six points to say in his heart, he still cared for his partner according to the process.

"It's a pleasure to see you here, Jim." Harvey lay on the ground and turned his head, still not seeming to return to normal. His eyes were glazed, and his voice was flustered: "I'm relieved to see you, this is heaven, right?" I knew that I would see God if I followed you. I thought I could only go to hell. ”

“…… It's a shame that this is Gotham. Gordon stood up speechlessly and kicked Harvey: "Get up, you've been lying on the ground for ten minutes." ”

It's only been ten minutes.

Harvey stiffened his posture and sat up, finally relieved.

He's alive. This hell world.

Then Agent Bullock, who had just sobered up, discovered that his dear partner was not alone.

“…… So, who is this imp? Harvey tried to ignore the chill coming from his lower body, and his eyes fell on little Hope.

Little Hope obediently took Gordon's hand and showed a pair of cute dimples at Bullock.

Gordon held the child's hand and looked away, trying not to look at the puddle of water beneath his partner.

After all, it's an old friend, so I have to give some face.

"Where the hell did you come from?" Brock sat on the ground and rubbed the flesh off his face. He's kind of broken down right now.

Hearing Harvey's question, Gordon hesitated for five seconds between 'this kid is the culprit who caused you to pee your pants' and 'this kid is the one who called the police'.

In the end, he looked away and chose the latter.

"Hope is the kid who just called the police." "Cobot was upstairs unconscious, I checked and it wasn't life-threatening," Gordon said. An ambulance will arrive later. ”

During Harvey's coma, the highly efficient GCPD heads-up king has single-handedly done everything.

This includes, but is not limited to, 'talking to Hope, a young boy abandoned by his family', 'checking the penguin's poor ass', and other important things.

"So, what exactly just happened?" Harvey was still hesitant to tell his partner that he had the hell, but when he heard his partner's words, he realized that something wasn't quite right.

Didn't Gordon see everything he saw?

What he had just seen in the darkness was clearly not a hallucination.

Agent Bullock boldly looked up, his gaze falling on the skylight.

No, nothing!

Harvey Bullock gasped.

He had just seen a terrible scene!

Detective Bullock looked around vigilantly, the dilapidated villa was still in disarray, with dust and cobwebs everywhere. And Gordon stood in the middle of the room with a small child in a big grin, as if he had determined that there was no danger here.

Inspector Bullock touched his cold neck suspiciously.

"Nothing happened," said Gordon, "you were so cowardly that you just scared yourself out." ”

Although the kind-hearted Gotham heads-up king James Gordon tries to save face for his partner, he can't stand a cub here who doesn't know anything about the world.

"Mr. Policeman's pants are wet," Hope Jr. pointed to Inspector Bullock's pants, and continued, "and a strange smell, smellier than the uncle lying on it!" ”

Gordon thought to himself that the kid was right, after all, the penguins bleed, and Harvey bleed.

Harvey glared at the child, trying to maintain the demeanor of a veteran Gotham detective: "You know what, little ghost? Because the enemy I met was a hundred times more terrible than the stupid big man next to you! Believe it or not, if he had seen what had just happened, he would have been scared to death! ”

Inspector Bullock is adamant about not admitting that he is the most timid of all.

What he had just seen was enough to scare Gordon into taking the initiative to guard Arkham.

So this must be the place where Fish Mooney disposed of the corpse, and the resentful spirits of adulthood stayed here to see the hellish scene he had just seen.

"But there's no enemy here," Hope said as he looked around with wide eyes, "it's just us!" Did Mr. Policeman break his brain? ”

Hope sensed that the human brain was a little abnormal.

Childlike words.

Gordon rolled his eyes, blushing to pay attention to Harvey Bullock, who was blushing and arguing with a five-year-old.

Harvey told the child how dangerous his job was, as he stood up and tried to remember the scene.

Just now he felt something cold dripping down his neck, like ice cubes in the middle of winter, wet and sticky. As a result, he reached out and touched it, only to find that it was full of blood.

But this is indoors, where is the blood?

When he looked up, there was a bright flash of lightning streaking across the sky, illuminating everything in front of him.

There was a figure on the gray skylight of the villa, with his crooked fingers clinging to the glass, as if he was about to break through the window.

The bleeding features and twisted movements almost scared Brock to death.

Blood trickled down the cracks in the skylight, and Bullock seemed to see the figure with a terrible grin. Then all kinds of resentful spirits appeared behind him, some of them criminals who had been shot dead by him in the course of his duty, and some of which were citizens he had not been able to save. He even saw one of his men who had just died last week.

Without exception, they all had evil smiles on their faces.

And that wasn't all, as his gaze rested on the skylight, a cold finger pressed against his neck behind his back.

As soon as he turned around, a white and cold face appeared in front of him in the light.

Stiff features, messy bloodstains, and red eyes bring to mind the terrifying creatures of Harvey Bullock's memory, such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, and the Grim Reaper.

"Found you!" The disembodied head said this to him.

In the darkness, the doll with only one eye smiled miserably, just like the resentful spirits above.

Bullock rolled his eyes, and then he didn't know anything.

He also thought he would be in hell when he woke up.

Memories are over.

But Harvey, after all, is also a well-informed police officer in the GCPD, and he squints at the child in front of him.

“…… Kid, you're a little familiar," Harvey tugged at his pants, "who the hell are you?" ”

"I'm Hope!" The kid didn't quite understand why the humans here kept asking repetitive questions, and he didn't want to explain anymore: "You just had a lot of fun with Hope, why are you asking who Hope is now?" ”

Hope remembers his dad saying that when playing a game, the louder the scream, the more fun the other person is. So Hope screamed loudly every time he played a game with his dad, and the whole castle was filled with their laughter.

The chubby Mr. Officer is the loudest of them all, which shows that he is quite fond of Hope's games.

So as a sign of respect, Hope Jr. even grabbed a handful of sand from his father's sandbag and threw it at Agent Bullock. That way, Agent Bullock can see what he wants!

Hope Jr. wanted to continue playing with the other party, but unfortunately someone stopped him.

"When did I have fun with you?" Brock was puzzled that he didn't know the kid at all, let alone play any games.

Agent Gordon, who was witnessing everything, stopped talking.

However, before he could say anything to stop it, the child crackled like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"You just played hide and seek with Hope," Hope was even more confused than Harvey: "Hope caught you, you are so happy!" Quack and Lucien had never screamed so loudly, and neither had Daddy! ”

It's a pity that Bullock isn't a dad.

Hope was a little puzzled, and the two people in front of him clearly had the breath of a father.

Originally, when he was on the rooftop, he thought his father had found him. But it turned out that it wasn't.

Hope Jr. had some regrets, but renewed hope.

These two have definitely seen Dad, so as long as he follows these two, he may be able to find Dad!

Although his elaborate prank did not use his father, little Hope was still satisfied. He at least met new people with the welcome ritual his dad taught him.

The new friend was so happy, and little Hope happily and proudly watched the distorted GCPD death duo.

As the child described it, Brock's memories of shame faded back.

All he remembered was that he was scared out of half his life after seeing the zombies and resentful spirits on the skylight. Then when I turned around, I saw a face with a light on my chin, and there were blood stains on my face.

He knew that he was squatting, so it seemed that the only thing that could appear directly in front of him could be his head.

So he fainted.

There's nothing hard to understand, is it?

Now, Harvey feels like he's slowly coming back to his sanity. At the same time, anger exploded.

He suddenly remembered that the zombie on the rooftop seemed to have a twisted and familiar hooked nose, the same as that of the umbrella boy Copote. The kid in front of him still had a little blood on his face that hadn't been wiped clean, presumably borrowed from Colbert.

He, the top agent of the GCPD, a black-and-white cop who has been in Gotham for half his life, was actually frightened by a prank by a five-year-old child!

Although the ghost just now is too real, looking at Gordon's gloating eyes, it is definitely fake!

Annoyed, Agent Bullock pulled little Hope at the same time. He pressed the child to his lap, and his big palm was about to be greeted on the child's ass with lightning speed.

The action was so fast that Agent Gordon had no time to stop it.

But the slap didn't fall.

Because the angry agent Bullock was too emotional, he accidentally tripped his left foot and his right foot when he stood up, and the whole person pounced forward like a ball.

The child he was carrying in his hand came out.

To make matters worse, the messy steel bars in the corners were cocked, and somehow they hooked Agent Bullock's trouser legs.

The sound of the cloth tearing was a little noticeable in the dark night.

GCPD's uniforms are clearly not as sturdy as they thought they would be.

"Ahh

The child laughed excitedly: "Feifei! Hope wants to do it again! ”

Dad and Lucien often tossed him around like this. Hope Jr. thought the two were playing a game with him.

Gordon took Hope in his arms, then glanced down at Bullock, who was lying on the ground.

Young, unseen Agent Gordon thought to himself not to come again, he wasn't going to see Bullock's flower pants again.
