Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Chapter 136: 36. Great choice【35/100】

At 8 o'clock in the morning, wearing a suit and dressed in a very formal dress, Bruce Wayne walked into the bat cave in the dock area accompanied by Afu.

"To be honest, I hated this place at the beginning."

Afu is nagging like an ordinary old man, he looks at the almost empty space that has been moved here, he laughs,

"This place is a bit too humid for the elderly. I even prefer the place below the manor, at least with central air conditioning."

"Starting today, we may not have to live like this again, we will all settle down."

Bruce reached out and stroked the dark cell with some nostalgia. He pressed it lightly and the ground split open. What popped out was an empty stand. There were originally two sets of bat costumes and one set was "borrowed" by Cyber. The other set was taken back to the Wayne Building by him.

"We are here to make the whole city better and better."

Afu picked up the documents on the table, opened the purpose-built incinerator, and threw everything into a ash that no one could see.

"Do you want to burn these things too?"

Alfred picked up some documents and said to Bruce, "This is some information about the previous upgrades of the bat costume. I think it is better to keep them."

"Burn it out, Afu."

Bruce muttered to himself, "By burning the past, you can live a better life."

Alfred shrugged. "Well, then as you wish, I said, they might catch me too and say I am your accomplice."

"No, no, Afu."

Bruce smiled in a low voice, "I will tell them everything is planned by you, I'm just an accomplice...Afu?"

No one answered. Bruce turned around and saw Afu and the young man standing beside him, wearing a black trench coat and carrying a sheathed straight-edged knife.

Cyber ​​Hawk!

"Hi, you are really good enough, you can find my hiding place these days..."

Cyber ​​helped Afu pat the ashes on his body. He reached out and took the documents from Afu. He looked at it, and asked without raising his head.

"Why, do you want to fight me? I can ask you to change a suit first. Your suit looks quite expensive."

"Have you been hiding here these days?"

Bruce was not very angry. Rachel told him everything he had done. He still believed that Cyber ​​had goodwill towards them.

"Yeah, it's too difficult to find a place in Gotham that can be monitored outside, but it won't be discovered. Simply you haven't been here in the past few days. I'm sleeping here, don't you mind?

Cyber ​​put the file in his hand on the table, he raised his head and looked at Bruce as if it were an old friend meeting, but the ice in his eyes could not escape Bruce's eyes, and then he heard this guy Say,

"I heard that you are afraid of being beaten by a clown. Do you want to surrender?"

Bruce pouted and said nothing, he knew how poisonous the mouth was, and Cyber ​​continued to ask,

"Surrender can be exchanged for life, right?"

"Ok"

Bruce nodded, and a hint of taunt flashed in Cyber's eyes.

"Then can it earn dignity?"

"Can it let that lunatic kneel down on the ground and let him hear the mourning of the dead souls buried underground?"

Cyber ​​walked slowly, he looked at Bruce's eyes,

"I thought for a while that this city would change. I think it will one day be reborn in your hands. I know you have plans and I know what you want to do."

"But this is not your reason to sacrifice the name Batman... compared to Bruce Wayne, Batman is my friend, my opponent, not you."

"Do you know what would happen if I faced this situation?"

Cyber ​​reached out and nodded in Bruce's heart, "You have to show what you don't want, you have to show that you don't care... A person who doesn't care about anything has no weaknesses."

"The clown wants you to see that at a critical juncture, the self-proclaimed and civilized people you protect will kill each other without hesitation. He succeeded. The people you protect are the first targets to raise their swords. It’s you, they feel threatened, they will eat you... drowning people who don’t save themselves are not worth saving, their madness will drag the rescuers into the water together."

"If it were me, I would let him kill him. If he didn't kill fast enough or ruthlessly, I would help him."

Cyber ​​opened his hands like a person embracing the world, "The clown can eat you because you are too kind, Bruce, you want to save everyone, but you can't put fangs on your kindness, so that Those who abandoned you know that they will bleed when they touch you!"

Bruce looked at Cyber ​​and said calmly,

"I am not you, and I will not be you."

"So you will take off your mask like a family dog. You think you won, but you lose, Batman is dead, Gotham's last pillar collapsed."

The subdued Cyber ​​turned around and hugged Afu with a complex face as a farewell. He picked up the file in his hand and shrugged to Bruce.

"Everything in Gotham taught me the truth: either die like a hero, or live to see myself become a villain, I am not a hero, I will not die...good luck, Bruce."

At 9 o'clock in the morning, at the press conference of Gotham City Hall, the entire Gotham celebrities and public representatives, as well as the media are crowded here, the scene can only accommodate 400 people squeezed into 600 people, and more people Waiting in front of the city hall.

An unspeakable emotion spread among the crowd. They were silent, restless, uneasy, and others scolded the people around them, calling them cowards and traitors, but more people chose to be silent.

Harvey Dent stood in the corner of the podium, his look calm, Mayor Nestor and the others belatedly, they were sitting in the first row, Bruce Wayne was sitting in the second row, and many more Other businessmen, they greeted each other, everyone was waiting.

Today, Batman will reveal his identity to meet the increasingly unbridled challenge of clowns. The sadness of a person with a bottom line is that they are often manipulated by bottomless people and forced to do many things they cannot do.

The wall clock on the wall pointed steadily at 9 o'clock, Harvey took a deep breath, and he strode to the front of the podium.

"Today, we will announce a sad news here..."

As soon as Harvey's voice fell, a man dressed as a reporter shouted,

"Let Batman stand up! There are enough people dead in this city!"

His speech immediately resonated with many people. They raised their hands and shouted various slogans. Harvey increased his voice.

"Yes, today, Batman will stand up and show his identity to this city, but as a member of this city, I don't think it is a kind of salvation."

He looked at everyone in front of him, and the harsh eyes made them quiet, and Harvey suddenly felt that the people sitting here were so ridiculous, they really thought to hand over their protector, Batman. , The clown will let them go?

Facing a mad dog, any weakness will make them more unscrupulous.

He was relieved,

"From my standpoint, Batman is breaking the law, and I really want him to surrender, but we do this at this time, but not for this reason... We are afraid, we were happy to see Batman before Clean up criminals for us..."

"But the situation is much worse than before, he didn't do it!"

Another man in a suit and leather suit stood up and said aloud, "Every day, people die because of an absurd reason. The city does not need a knight who is above the law!"

As soon as his voice fell, another voice hidden in the crowd rang,

"Yes, it's all because of Batman, talents like clowns will appear! There has never been such an evil in this city before!"

Harvey is too lazy to argue with them. The sounding people are everywhere. Once they are pressed by the knife on their necks, they will reveal their cowardly nature. He put his hands on the podium, he said,

"Yes...I don't deny this, the order is bad now, but I think anyone sitting here knows that the night before dawn is always the darkest, and I assure you that dawn is coming ...One day, Batman will apologize to us for violating the law, but that is to us, not to the lunatic!"

Harvey's roaring voice sounded in the conference hall,

"I have always believed that this city will return to its trajectory instead of allowing darkness and evil to rule it. I know that this city will not bow to evil, and our people will not give their heroes to that. douchebag..."

"He is not a hero! He is just a paranoid man with a mask, trying to override all others with his own view of good and evil. Gotham does not need such a hero. It needs an executor of law and justice, ha Wei, it's you! Not Batman!"

This voice turned Harvey’s final persuasion into a bubble. The crowd’s justified emotions were picked up again. Those who were frightened began to madly support this statement, while others who supported Batman began to quarrel with them. Fighting, the scene was chaotic to the extreme.

"Okay, okay! Stop!"

A ridiculous smile appeared on Harvey's face. He really saw what humanity is ugly today. He raised his hand and shouted,

"Well, now, let us arrest Batman, he is sitting among us!"

The words made everyone stop what was in their hands, and began to look at anyone around them. Bruce-faced Bruce was ready to get up and greet all this, but the next moment, Harvey walked out of the podium and stood by two policemen Beside, stretch out your hands.

"I am...Batman."

Bruce froze, Mayor Nestor froze, Afu standing on the side froze, everyone else froze, in fact, everyone watching a live broadcast in front of the entire Gotham TV All froze.

Even Cyber, who was sitting in the Golden Arch dining room, was stunned.

"This is really..."

Saiber put down the chicken drumstick in his hand, and he looked at the picture on the TV with sunglasses. He tried to find an adjective to describe Harvey Dent's behavior, but he couldn't say anything. Eventually, he shook Shook his head.

"This guy is really chaotic!"

"What's going on! Why did he do this, Harvey?"

Rachel, who was watching the live broadcast, stood up from the sofa. She looked at Lucius around her, who took off her glasses. After ten seconds, Lucius said,

"Harvey Dent must have noticed something from Bruce’s words. He didn’t want Batman to be exposed like that. He chose to be that target so that Batman could move freely. He took the clown and now The clown must act, even if he feels wrong, he must do the same..."

"He used his own method to drive the madman into the corner... This young man is really good!"

"But Harvey will be in absolute danger..."

Rachel was anxiously rummaging around in her bag, and finally turned to her phone, she pressed the dial button,

"Saibo, please protect Harvey, he shouldn't do this."

"Well... this is an interesting person who made a sacrifice of himself, he is saving himself, well, I agree."
