After The Clown was arrested, Gotham City seemed to have regained its peace. However, the sensitive people could clearly sense that the city seemed to be different. The sense of security brought by the Joker was gone.
Now that everyone was in danger, they recalled the days before the existence of Batman, when Gotham City was dominated by gangs.
"This suffocating feeling is really unbearable!”Looking at the pedestrians outside the car window, Assellin said emotionally. The pedestrians seemed to hate themselves for not having two more legs, and they wanted to escape home as fast as they could. They thought that the city was not safe now, so they had to go home before dark.
Liu Adou also felt it, but he had the illusion that this was the real Gotham City. The people lived in fear. The gangs were the masters, the police were just the lackeys of the gangs, and the government was the representative of weakness.
"Why hasn't Harvey Dent come out for a press conference? If this continues, Gotham City will be finished.”Assellin frowned and complained.
Liu Adou knew that Harvey Dent must be taking care of Rachel now. Rachel's injury was fatal. Even if the medical level of this world was not low, there was no guarantee that she could be saved. Harvey Dent was so devoted to Rachel that he probably didn't have the mood to go back to work.
"Liu, look over there." Assellin pointed.
Their car was passing through an intersection. On their right, a masked man was holding money and pointing at the car waiting at the red light. The gun was stuck out of the front window and pressed against the driver's forehead. This was a robbery.
The sky was not dark yet, and the robbers had already come out. They were going crazy.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Liu Adou stopped the car by the roadside and shouted.
However, not only did this not have the effect of intimidation, but it also received a bullet in response. The robbers fired at Liu Adou, who had stopped the car. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit him and only flew past the window.
"Crazy." Liu Adou saw from the rearview mirror that the robber shot at him and then shot the car owner who was robbed.
"God." Assellin also saw it. The murder and robbery happened in front of her. If it was in the past, she would have been excited by the news. But now, she felt her back go numb. Within a day, the situation in Gotham City had turned upside down. It became terrifying.
Assellin was stunned. Seeing that the murderer had escaped, Liu Adou sighed and started the car to leave.
Gotham City was indeed a simple city.
The two of them stopped talking and did not even call the police. They had just come back from the police station and knew that there were not enough police forces at the moment. Even if they called the police, it would be useless. No one said what they were thinking, lest the other party worry.
Liu Adou was thinking that The Clown was indeed powerful. He had managed to bring Gotham City back to its original state. How much effort did Batman put in to restore some order to Gotham City, making the gangs so afraid that they only dared to go out during the day? The Clown had only killed a few people in a planned manner and filmed a few videos, completing a simple restart.
Assellin thought that only by letting Harvey Dent stand up could the situation be stabilized. The Knight of Light of Gotham City. Only he could repair the hearts of people who had been twisted by the clown.
Gotham Central Hospital.
"A vegetable?" Harvey felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart, causing him to stagger. If not for the doctor's support, Harvey would have fainted.
"The patient's spine was severely injured. We did our best to save him. With our current medical technology, we can only ensure that the patient doesn't die.”
"Is there no chance of recovery?”
The doctor was also in a difficult position. He hated to inform his family of bad news, especially when this person was the hero of Gotham City." It's not like there's no chance of him waking up…" The doctor's expression became even uglier." Because the patient's spine is severely dislocated and fractured, coupled with nerve damage, even if he wakes up, he'll be paralyzed.”
Another bolt of lightning struck, and his entire body was paralyzed, no better than a vegetable. Harvey absolutely could not accept such an outcome. Absolutely not.
Harvey Dent, who was filled with anger, rushed into the police station and locked him and The Clown in the interrogation room. This was an interrogation room without windows. Only the camera on the ceiling was recording the situation in the room.
But as soon as Harvey Dent came in, he used a chair to prop up the door so that no one outside could push the door open and enter. Then, he nimbly unplugged the cable port of the camera and crushed the microphone at the same time. This way, no one would know how he would beat up The Clown.
At a simple table, Xiao Chou was smiling across from him, as if he had no idea of the fate he was about to face.
Harvey Dent seemed to have transformed into a demon as he approached the clown. Finally, he slammed the table." Tell me, what is your purpose?"”
"Oh, Harvey Dent, the light and hope of Gotham City. Is there anything you don't know about Gotham City?”The Clown smiled and said," I'm scared when you're like this.”
Such a glib attitude would only make Harvey even angrier." Tell me everything you know, or you'll pay the consequences.”
The Clown was still smiling." I'm very sorry that I made you lose your girlfriend. You have to believe that this wasn't my intention.”
"Ahhhh!" Harvey finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He raised his right hand and waved it at The Clown's face.
The heavy punch knocked The Clown's chin askew, knocking him to the ground along with the chair.
" Hahahaha, hahaha…" This was the feeling. Rage was the beginning of depravity. From Clown's perspective, Harvey Dent was already standing at the edge of the cliff. If he retreated even a little, Harvey would fall into the abyss. By then, the Knights of Light of Gotham City would transform into demons, and the city would once again fall into the hands of evil forces.
"Tell me, why did you kidnap Rachel and me?？”Harvey pinned Clown to the ground and pulled out a revolver from his pocket. The gun was already pointed at The Clown's forehead. If The Clown continued to spout nonsense, Harvey would definitely shoot.
'This is it,' The Clown shouted in his heart.'This is it, abandoning all rules and acting according to his own anger.'
"Tell me quickly." The muzzle of the gun moved forward.
The Clown smiled again, but this time, he was sincere." Harvey Dent, you disappoint me. With your intelligence, don't you know that I'm just a mad dog driven by others? What can I do?？I was just using everyone's plan.”
"You all have plans. You have plans to send all the gangs to prison. The gangs also have plans to rule Gotham City. Even Gordon has plans to protect you. Plan, plan, plan. Look at me, look at what I've done. I only used some explosives and gasoline, as well as your plan, and I turned everything around. Lulu…"
"Shoot, stupid Harvey Dent.”The Clown continued to provoke him. He was betting his life on Harvey's downfall.
Sure enough, Harvey Dent didn't shoot after hearing The Clown's explanation. Harvey suddenly realized that The Clown was really just a nobody. The reason why he could do whatever he wanted in Gotham City was because he had someone to rely on. The gangs and the corrupt police force of Gotham City were all the support of The Clown.
The mafia planned to deal with Batman, so they provided all kinds of convenience for the clown to run amok in Gotham City. The police had protected the target threatened by the clown, but because the police were corrupt, they were used by the clown to kidnap the hostage. Just like what The Clown had said, he had only used the plan of both parties. Although The Clown was the executor, the real cause of all this and the one who hurt Rachel should be the person behind The Clown.
"Shoot and avenge your girlfriend. He wanted to tell those schemers who were trying to control everything through their plans that everything was still going according to plan. Tell yourself that your plan is fine.”Clown was still talking. He knew that Harvey did not have the ability to send all the gangs to prison, which meant that they would not be able to take revenge for Rachel according to the plan.
Rachel wasn't part of the plan." Harvey shouted hoarsely. But Harvey admitted that he had a plan, but it was not perfect, and he could not vent his anger.
"Harvey, where was I when you and little angel Rachel were kidnapped? I'm fighting with the police at the police station. So you and I don't have any resentment, because I'm just a person who broke the original rules and plans, bringing everything back to Chaos. I'm the representative of Chaos.”
Harvey Dent looked at Clown and knew that he was telling the truth." Chaos?”
"Yes, Chaos." The Clown knew that Harvey had taken the bait. He successfully directed Harvey's anger to the people who maintained order in Gotham City." Chaos is fairness.”
These words were like a pair of powerful hands that pushed Harvey back. Breaking all the rules and plans was chaos and fairness. That way, he could take revenge. Yes, revenge required chaos and fairness.
Harvey recalled his painful childhood, where his drunk father tossed a coin to decide whether to hit him or his mother. Harvey's father used the fairest method to maintain order in the house. A coin to decide the fate of him and his mother, this was fair.
Harvey took out the coin that belonged to his father from his pocket. It was time for him to become the executor of justice and order. If he didn't do something now, how could he face Rachel? His cold gaze pierced into Clown's eyes as he slowly said,""Heads live, tails die."
The Clown was very happy. As expected, even a hero who represented justice had a heart as ugly as dirty water." Ahaha, very fair!”
Harvey Dent tossed a coin.
The coin flipped in the air and was caught by Harvey. He then opened his palm.
Harvey Dent stood up from The Clown without another word.
The clown knew that the coin must be heads. As expected, bad people lived long lives." Harvey Dent, don't you want to know who's behind all this?”
"No need. I'll investigate it myself.”Harvey left.
The Clown's smile grew wider and wider. He couldn't wait to see what Harvey would do. Harvey must have killed a lot of people for revenge, but most importantly, there was no longer any hope for the rule of law in Gotham City. When the citizens of Gotham City found out that Harvey, the prosecutor they had placed their hopes on, was just a murderous underground judge, the rule of law would collapse. No one would believe that Gotham City's laws could help them anymore. By then, Gotham City would become a city of chaos.
"Ahahahahaha ~" The clown, who had achieved his goal, laughed crazily in the empty interrogation room. His laughter seemed to reach everyone's hearts.
