Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Chapter 136 36. The Great Choice【35/100】

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Bruce Wayne, who was wearing a suit and dressed very formally, walked into the Bat Cave in the dock area accompanied by Afu.

"To be honest, I hated this place at first."

Ah Fu babbled like an ordinary old man, he looked at the almost moved space here, he laughed,

"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 anymore, we will all settle down."

Bruce reached out to caress the hidden compartment with some nostalgia. He pressed it lightly, and the ground cracked, and an empty bracket popped up. There were originally two sets of bat suits there, and one was "borrowed" by Seber. The other set was taken back to Wayne Building by him.

"We're here to make the city better and better."

Ah Fu picked up the documents on the table, opened the specially made incinerator, threw everything into it, and turned it into a piece of ashes that no one could see.

"Are these things to be burned too?"

Alfred picked up some documents and said to Bruce, "This is some information about the previous upgrades of the bat suit. I think it's better for us to keep it."

"Burn it, Ah Fu."

Bruce murmured, "Burn the past, and live a better life."

Alfred shrugged, "Okay, then as you wish, I said, they may also arrest me and say that I am your accomplice."

"No no no, Ah Fu."

Bruce chuckled, "I'll tell them you planned everything and I'm just an accomplice... Ah Fu?"

No one answered, Bruce turned around and saw Alfred, and the young man standing beside him, wearing a black windbreaker and holding a sheathed straight blade knife.

Cyber ​​Hawk!

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

Saibo helped Ah Fu pat the ashes on his body, he reached out and took the documents from Ah Fu, he looked at them and asked without raising his head,

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

"Have you been hiding here these days?"

Bruce was not very angry. Rachel told him what Sable had done, and he still believed that Sable had good intentions for them.

"Yeah, it's too difficult to find a place in Gotham where you can monitor the outside without being discovered. You haven't been here for a few days, so I'll just sleep here. You don't mind, do you?"

Saber put the document in his hand on the table, he raised his head and looked at Bruce, like an old friend meeting, but the coldness in his eyes couldn't escape Bruce's eyes, and then he heard this guy explain,

"I heard that you were scared by the clown, you want to surrender?"

Bruce curled his lips and said nothing, he knew how poisonous Sable's mouth was, and Sable continued to ask,

"Surrender can be exchanged for life, right?"

"Um"

Bruce nodded, a sarcasm flashed in Seber's eyes,

"Then can it be exchanged for dignity?"

"Can it make that lunatic kneel on the ground and let him listen to the screams of those dead souls buried in the ground?"

Saber walked over slowly, he looked into Bruce's eyes,

"I thought for a while that this city would change. I thought that one day, it would rise from the ashes in your hands. I know you have a plan, and I know what you want to do."

"But that's not why you sacrifice the name Batman...Compared to Bruce Wayne, Batman is my friend and my opponent, not you."

"You know what I would do if I were in this situation?"

Seber put his hand on Bruce's heart and nodded, "You have to show that you don't want anything, you have to show that you don't care about anything... A person who doesn't care about anything has no weakness."

"The clown wants you to see that in a critical moment, these self-proclaimed civilized people you protect will kill each other without any scruples. He has successfully done it. Those people you protect are the first targets to raise their knives It's you, they feel threatened, they'll eat you... Drowning people who can't save themselves are not worth saving, their madness will drag the rescuer into the water with them."

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

Sable spread 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 your fangs on your kindness, so that Those who abandon you know that they will bleed if they touch you!"

Bruce looked at Seber and said calmly,

"I'm not you, and I won't be you."

"That's why you take off your mask like a bereaved dog. You think you've won, but you lose. Batman is dead. The last pillar of Gotham has collapsed."

Saibo, with a dull tone, turned around, and hugged Ah Fu with a complex expression as farewell. He picked up the document in his hand, shrugged at Bruce,

"Everything in Gotham has taught me one thing: either die a hero or live to see yourself become a villain, I'm not a hero, I'm not going to die... Good luck, Bruce."

At 9 o'clock in the morning, at the press conference site of Gotham City Hall, celebrities, public representatives, and media from all over Gotham crowded here. The scene that can only accommodate 400 people squeezed in 600 people, and there were more people Waiting in front of the city hall.

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

Harvey Dent stood in the corner of the podium, his expression was calm, Mayor Nestor and others arrived late, they sat in the first row, Bruce Wayne sat in the second row, and many others Other businessmen, they greet each other, all waiting.

Today, Batman will reveal his identity to meet the increasingly unscrupulous challenges of the clown. The tragedy of a person with a bottom line is that they are often manipulated by people without a bottom line and forced to do many things they cannot do.

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

"Today, we are here to announce a sad news..."

As soon as Harvey finished speaking, a man dressed as a reporter shouted,

"Let Batman stand up! Enough dead people 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 is going to step up and show the city who he is, but as a member of the city, I don't think that's a redemption."

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

In the face of a mad dog, any weakness will make them more unscrupulous.

He breathed a sigh of relief,

"From my standpoint, Batman is breaking the law and I would very much like him to turn himself in, but we're not doing it at this moment for that reason... we're scared, we'd love to see Batman before Clean up the criminals for us..."

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

Another man in a suit stood up and said loudly, "People die every day for absurd reasons. This city doesn't need a knight who is above the law!"

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

"Yes, it's all because of Batman and people like the Joker! There has never been such a crime in this city before!"

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

"Yeah...I don't deny it, it's bad order right now, but I want anyone sitting here to know that the night is always darkest before the dawn, and I assure you, the dawn is coming ...One day, Batman will apologize to us for breaking the law, but to us, not to that madman!"

Harvey's roar sounded in the hall of the press conference,

"I always believe that this city will return to its proper track instead of letting darkness and evil rule it. I know that this city will not bow to evil, and our people will not hand over their heroes to that douchebag..."

"He's not a hero! He's just a paranoid wearing a mask and trying to override everyone with his own view of good and evil. Gotham doesn't need such a hero, what it needs is the enforcer of law and justice, yes Ha Vi, it's you! Not Batman!"

This voice made Harvey's last persuasion come to naught, and the mood of the crowd that had just eased was provoked again. Those who were terrified began to frantically support this statement, while others who supported Batman began to quarrel with them, Fighting, the scene became extremely chaotic for a while.

"Okay, okay! Stop!"

There was a mocking smile on Harvey's face. He really saw the ugliness of human nature today. He raised his hand and shouted loudly,

"Okay, now, let's arrest Batman, he's sitting among us!"

These words made everyone stop what they were doing, and began to look at anyone around them. Bruce, with a gloomy face, was about to stand up and welcome all this, but the next moment, Harvey walked out of the podium and stood beside two police officers. Beside, stretch out your hands.

"I am... Batman."

Bruce was stunned, Mayor Nestor was stunned, Alfred who was standing aside was stunned, and everyone else was stunned. In fact, all the people watching a live broadcast in front of the TVs in Gotham They were all stunned.

Even Siber, who was eating in the Golden Arch restaurant at this time, was stunned.

"This is really..."

Saibo put down the chicken leg in his hand, and he looked at the picture on the TV with sunglasses on. He tried to find an adjective to describe Harvey Dent's behavior, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he shook Shake your head.

"This guy is really messing around!"

"What's going on! Harvey why would he do this?"

Rachel, who was watching the live broadcast, stood up from the sofa. She looked at Lucius next to her in a daze, and the latter also took off her glasses. After more than ten seconds, Lucius said,

"Harvey Dent must have noticed something from what Bruce said. He didn't want Batman to be exposed like this. He chose to be that target so that Batman could move freely. He recruited the Joker, and now The clown has to act, even if he feels something is wrong, he has to do it..."

"He cornered that maniac in his own way... This young man, what a job!"

"But Harvey is in absolute danger..."

Rachel rummaged through her bag anxiously, and finally found her cell phone. She pressed the dial button,

"Serber, please protect Harvey, he shouldn't have done this."

"Hmm...he's an interesting guy, made a self-sacrifice, he's saving himself, well, I agree."
