Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Chapter 142: 42. Cruel [41/100]

"No! No!!!"

Gordon rushed to the burning ruins of Orchard Street like a mad beast. A sad face of Robin and the mayor of Nestor Nestor tried to hold him, but he couldn't.

The power erupted in the body of this always polite middle-aged person was shocking. Finally, Saber in a black trench coat stepped forward to suppress Gordon in place.

Sheriff Smith's rescue operation failed... he himself was buried in the flames, and even worse, the hostage died in it. The loyal wife was Gordon's wife.

The police chief knelt down on the ground, and the roaring sound rang in the darkness like a night owl. Anyone who listened to it would feel an indescribable, painful pain.

Cyber ​​gritted his teeth, his left hand was ruthlessly on Gordon's neck, the grief-stricken gentleman fainted, he looked at Robin,

"Bring him back, he needs rest now, yes, and take his son and daughter with him, lest Gordon do anything irrational."

He looked at Robin, his younger brother successfully rescued Gordon’s son from the dock warehouse, Robin Superman’s first-class absolute observation was most vividly reflected in this action, he was the only one who discovered the clown in advance The man of the despicable institution, he opened a door on the side of the warehouse, then picked up the child and rushed into the sea outside the warehouse within 5 seconds. This held the lives of two people in the explosion.

Coupled with Barbara Gordon rescued by Cyber, Gordon’s children were safe and sound, but for the death of his wife, Cyber ​​could not do anything. He regretted it at this time, why didn’t he stop them? Kill the clown completely, which caused these troubles now.

"From now on, you are responsible for protecting them, and I have to focus my energy on the business."

Cyber's voice was so cruel to the extreme, but Robin didn't refute this time, and there was a light of hatred in his eyes. He nodded, looked at the burning ruins, then leaned over his head and wiped his eyes with his fingers. Tears, carrying Gordon into the car.

The mayor of Nestor was not in his clothes and completely lacked the previous style, but at this time he had been drawing a cross on his chest. God was on it. He was tied into the Grand Theater by a group of guys with clown masks. When the pile of pungent oil barrels were around, Nestor really thought he was going to die.

Gordon rescued him, presumably because the time was tight, and the despicable institution was not placed in the place where Nestor was held, which allowed the mayor to escape.

"Mr. Nestor..."

Cyber ​​looked away from the burning ruins. He looked at the mayor with a ghost face and whispered,

"You know what you should do now, right?"

Mayor Nestor was not stupid, he immediately understood the meaning of Cyber, he nodded fiercely, gritted his teeth and said,

"Tomorrow morning, the National Guard will enter the city...too lawless! By the way, Harvey, how about Harvey?"

Facing Nestor's problems, Cyber ​​shook his head sadly, he had got the news that Batman's rescue operation was half successful.

Harvey saved his life, but... anyway, according to Cyber's understanding, if he became like that, it would be better to die directly.

At this time, at dawn, in the residence on the 25th floor of the Wayne Building, Alfred walked in here with breakfast and saw the scattered bat armor on the ground, each piece was thrown on the ground, lined up. Scattered like **** thrown away at random, his brows were wrinkled, he saw that his young master did not take off the remaining armor, but sat slackly by the window, looking at the awakening city outside.

His expression was embarrassed, there was no trace of focus in his eyes.

After 7 years of travel and training, it is not easy to see such an expression on Bruce's face, but when his parents were shot and when he grew up, Afu often saw his young master Thinking this way, he didn't pay much attention, but chose to leave both time and space to himself.

But when Afu laid down breakfast and was about to turn and leave, Bruce stopped him,

"Afu, I am useless, right?"

"Uh…"

As an experienced housekeeper, Afu knew what to say at this time. He thought about it and whispered, "This depends on what it is. You are really useless in cleaning up housework, but I think, you This should not be the case."

Bruce’s eyes were still out of focus, he muttered to himself,

"I originally wanted to encourage the right things and encourage positive things, not crazy, not death! I thought I could subdue the clown, I thought I could suppress him in my way, I stopped Cyber ​​from killing him, God, look at what I have done, this city should not have suffered this, Gordon, Harvey... they should not have suffered this."

Afu sighed. He sat on the sofa beside Bruce. He said softly,

"But haven't you already done this? You spit on the faces of the criminals in Gotham. Have you ever thought that there will be a victim? A man like a clown will appear sooner or later, he's just the worst than I expected The situation came a little earlier."

Alfred has always disagreed with Bruce Wayne’s going out for chivalry. This is the last descendant of the Wayne family. In case something goes wrong, the family is over, but he sees the sad expression on Bruce’s face. Still comforted,

"But before things get better, they always get worse. As Harvey said, the darkness before dawn is always the most difficult, you feel uncomfortable, you feel pain, this is because you are solving problems, The process of solving problems is always uncomfortable."

Bruce closed his eyes, and there was a hidden grief on his face.

"But Gotham only needs a real hero, like Harvey, not a man who killed his friend and blew up the city. I just don't know how to face Gordon, it's all my fault , Cyber ​​is right, I am arrogant and arrogant, I thought I could handle all the troubles, but I can’t... I’m just a mortal."

Afu stood up, he walked over and patted Bruce's shoulder, the white-haired old man said softly,

"Yes, we need real heroes...but we don't have them now, so we can only make up for you. You never want to give this mess to Cyber, think about his style, he It is possible to kill half of the people in the city to find the clown and strangle him."

"The men of the Wayne family will never give up halfway, and I believe you will not."

After talking, Afu picked up the cold breakfast and was about to leave. Bruce covered his face with his hands, as if thinking about himself. When Afu walked to the door, Bruce looked up, he asked,

"Afu, how did you catch the jewel stealer hiding in the forest?"

Alfred's body stagnate for a while. The problem seemed to cause him some bad memories, but in the end, he said,

"We burned the entire forest."

Bruce froze, he nodded and stopped talking.

The calm and quiet three days were fleeting. In the process, Cyber ​​received a call, and then on the night of the same day, he left his villa alone.

At Wayne Hospital, the intensive care unit, Harvey Dent opened his eyes violently. This was not the first time he woke up, but the unimaginable severe pain still passed from the left side of his body. A feeling mixed with pain and itching was almost unbearable, but his arms were fixed on the bed and could not move, and he could barely bear the pain.

"what"

He groaned, and half of his face was covered with gauze. As his head moved, blood poured out of the wound, and the gauze was all dyed red in an instant.

Then he saw the figure sitting by his bed, his back turned to him, as if reading a newspaper, and after hearing the voice, he turned around, a face that Harvey remembered a long time ago. He was humiliated by this guy in the dock area.

"Siber Hawke...you...why are you here?"

His voice was dry and completely devoid of the previous magnetism. If he didn't consider his complete right half of the face, this could almost be called the Devil's Voice, as if the steel was rubbing, and it hurt the ears.

"Hush"

Cyber ​​smiled a mysterious smile at him, then pointed out the door. In the dim light, he felt something from the side and looked at Harvey,

"No, I don't call that name."

He spoke, clasping the things in his face. When he raised his head again, the twisted ghost face appeared in front of Harvey's eyes, and there was the voice twisted by the voice changer.

"This is me... you generally call me the Red Devil, or the Red Devil."

"You... it's you."

Harvey's tone was a little shocked at first, but then he became calm. He had felt everything that happened to him. He looked at Cyber's mask and struggled, saying,

"What's wrong with me? They didn't tell me something, what happened to me?"

"You were kidnapped by the clown, not just you, but Gordon's wife, son, daughter, and our wise mayor of Nestor..."

Cyber ​​didn't hide anything, he said everything he knew, "Batman came to save you, but there were some accidents, but you at least saved your life, Gordon's wife... Unfortunately, we failed to rescue her. ."

At this moment, Harvey's breathing suddenly stopped for a few seconds, and then became more and more rapid. His left arm moved a little, but he was unable to move when he was tortured by the bed. He could only say in that horrible voice ,

"Can you give me a mirror?"

This request made Cyberber a little hesitant. He looked at Harvey, "Are you sure? You may not be able to accept what you are now... If it were me, I might as well die directly."

"give it to me!"

Harvey's voice grew louder in vain, from quiet to irritable, and it took almost a second. Cyber ​​took a deep breath and drew a mirror from the table next to it and placed it in front of Harvey.

The prosecutor looked at himself in the mirror. Under the dim light, he only saw his right half of his face. The left half was covered with gauze. The blood stained the gauze red.

"Help me take it down, the nurses are not willing to help me, thank you."

Harvey whispered that Cyber ​​held out his hand and gently tore it, with flesh and blood, removed the gauze and revealed Harvey's half face.

Horror... Even a well-informed person like Cyber, when he saw the intact right face and the left face almost completely scorched, leaving only the left face of the flesh and blood combined, I felt a little shocked. The most terrifying thing is that the eyes seem to fall off at any time without the protection of the skin.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Harvey's current attitude, as long as he dares to walk out of the hospital, many people will be scared to death in minutes.

Ironically, when Batman held Harvey out of the explosion, the burning oil and flame seemed to be almost perfectly scorching Harvey's half body under the control of some kind of power. Just the face, chest, arms, and skin.

It's like going down the midline of the forehead and dividing the complete body into two halves.

"Ha ha…"

But after suffering such a terrible injury, Harvey did not anger or go mad. On the contrary, he accepted this fact calmly. He said with a horrible voice, laughing,

"Double-faced people...the nickname they gave me is now complete."

"I don't think you need to worry so much about this matter..."

Cyber ​​said to Harvey, "Although your situation is terrible, it is actually not impossible..."

"Ok?"

Harvey turned his head to Cyber, and the horrible right face appeared in front of Cyber. He said awkwardly, "What do you mean?"

Saber didn't answer, but stretched out his arm. In Harvey's puzzled gaze, he took out his dagger and cut his arm away. After 5 seconds, the wound healed automatically without even leaving a little blood. .

"Are you... a mutant?"

Harvey started from awakening, until now, until the cruel tone finally appeared a little fluctuating, he said with surprise, "Is Gotham not a restricted area for mutants? I remember... coughing... This city's legislation expelled mutants ...You won’t be here, will you?"

"I'm more special."

Cyber ​​was reluctant to say too much on this issue, he took off his mask and looked at Harvey seriously,

"I think that with the strange ability of the mutants, there may be a possibility to help you treat the injury..."

Harvey's horrified eyes rolled, staring at Cyber,

"What's the price?"

"Uh, you seem to have changed a lot..."

Cyber ​​looked at Harvey weirdly. "You didn't talk like that before."

"I walked between life and death. If there was no gain, I would lose money. Cyber... In these three days, I finally figured out one thing."

Harvey closed his eyes. Of course, the right eye without eyelids could not be closed. He said, "I finally understood how ridiculous the beliefs I once insisted on. The law and justice are for ordinary people to sustain life. Guidelines, but there are always some people, the law does not work, I understand too late, it made me become like this, but this is very good, after peeling off the false coat, I can understand more clearly See this world."

"Oh, I said long ago, under your appearance, there is another you hidden."

Cyber ​​said with a chuckle, he looked around. "Well, there is no price. I just think the clown will continue to use you. This is to protect..."

"To tell the truth, I can feel you lying."

Harvey said blandly, "I want to hear the truth...I've heard enough disgusting lies."

"Okay, the price is, I hope you can help me, to be precise, the people of the Devil Gang have suffered some troubles recently, and Gotham's things are not resolved, I can't get over, so I hope to find one that has enough Capable people help me solve it."

"Look, you help me, I help you, it's fair, isn't it?"

Harvey opened his eyes and looked at Cyber,

"Why me? Why did you choose me?"

Cyber ​​lit a cigarette, he spit out a smoke ring, he looked at Harvey and said softly,

"Because I know the clown..."
