Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

"no no!!!"

Gordon rushed towards the burning ruins of Orchard Street like a mad beast. A mournful Robin and a terrified Mayor Nestor tried to hold him back, but couldn't.

The power emanating from this always polite middle-aged man was shocking. In the end, it was Seber who was wearing a black trench coat who stepped forward and held Gordon in place.

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

The chief of police knelt on the ground, and his roar sounded like a night owl in the darkness. Anyone who heard it would feel an indescribable, heart-wrenching pain.

Sable gritted his teeth, and with his left hand, he slammed everything on Gordon's neck. The grief-stricken gentleman fainted. He looked at Robin,

"Take him back, he needs to rest now, by the way, bring his son and daughter there too, lest Gordon do irrational things."

He looked at Robin. His younger brother successfully rescued Gordon's son from the dock warehouse. Robin's superhuman observation skills were fully demonstrated in this operation. He was the only one who spotted the clown in advance. A person from a despicable institution, he opened a door on the side of the warehouse, then picked up the child, rushed into the sea outside the warehouse within 5 seconds, and only then did he hug the lives of two people in the explosion.

Coupled with the fact that Barbara Gordon was rescued by Sable, Gordon's two children were finally safe and sound, but Sable could do nothing about the death of his wife, and he regretted even more at this time, why he didn't stop them when they stopped him. Killing the clown completely caused all these troubles now.

"From now on, you are responsible for protecting them, and I will use my energy on business."

Saibo's voice was extremely cold, but Robin didn't refute this time. There was also hatred in his eyes. He nodded, looked at the burning ruins, then turned his head and wiped the eyes with his fingers. With tears, he carried Gordon into the car.

Mayor Nestor's clothes are disheveled, and he has no previous demeanor at all, but he has been crossing his chest at this time. God, after being tied into the theater by a group of guys wearing clown masks, he was tied up Nestor really thought he was going to die when he was around the pile of pungent-smelling oil drums.

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

"Mr Nestor..."

Seb looked away from the burning ruins, looked at the mayor with a ghostly face, and whispered,

"You know what you're supposed to do now, don't you?"

Mayor Nestor is not stupid, he immediately understood what Seber meant, he nodded fiercely, and said through gritted teeth,

"Early tomorrow morning, the National Guard will enter the city... so lawless! By the way, Harvey, how is Harvey?"

Facing Nestor's question, Seber shook his head dejectedly. He had already received the news that Batman's rescue operation was half successful.

Harvey saved his life, but... anyway, according to Sable's understanding, if he became like that, he would be happier than dying directly.

At this time, it was dawn, and in his residence on the 25th floor of the Wayne Building, Alfred walked in with breakfast, and saw bat armor scattered on the ground, each piece was thrown on the ground, arranged like Scattered like garbage thrown away at will, his brows were wrinkled. He saw that his young master didn't take off the remaining armor, but was sitting by the window in a daze, looking at the waking city outside the window.

He looked very embarrassed, and there was no focus in his eyes.

After 7 years of traveling and training, it was not easy to see such an expression on Bruce's face, but when his parents were shot and he was growing up, Alfred often saw his young master Thinking like this, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but chose to leave time and space to himself.

But just when Ah Fu put down his breakfast and was about to turn around and leave, Bruce stopped him,

"Ah Fu, I'm pretty useless, right?"

"Well…"

As an experienced housekeeper, Ah Fu knew what to say at this time. He thought for a while and said in a low voice, "It depends on the aspect. You are really useless when it comes to housekeeping, but I think you That shouldn't be what it said."

Bruce's gaze was still out of focus, he muttered to himself,

"I originally wanted to encourage the right things, encourage the positive things, not madness, not death! I thought I could subdue the clown, I thought I could use my way to suppress him, I stopped Seb from killing him, God, look what I've done, this city didn't deserve this, Gordon, Harvey...they didn't deserve this."

Ah Fu sighed, he sat on the sofa next to Bruce, and he said softly,

"But you've already done that, haven't you? You spit in the faces of the criminals in Gotham, did you think there would be victims? Someone like the Joker will show up sooner or later, he's just worse than I expected The situation came a little earlier.”

Alfred has always disapproved of Bruce Wayne going out to fight for righteousness. This is the descendant of the Wayne family. If something happens, the family will be over. But seeing the sad expression on Bruce Wayne's face, he Still comforted,

"But things always get worse before they get better, like Harvey said, the darkest before the dawn is always the hardest, you feel uncomfortable, you feel pain, it's because you're solving problems, The process of solving problems is always uncomfortable."

Bruce closed his eyes, a look of unconcealable sadness on his face,

"But Gotham only needs real heroes like Harvey, not someone who killed his friend and blew up the city. I don't know how to deal with Gordon. It's all my fault. , Sable is right, I am arrogant, I think I can handle all troubles, but I can't... I'm just a mortal."

Ah Fu stood up, he walked over and patted Bruce on the shoulder, the white-haired old man said gently,

"Yes, we need real heroes... but we don't have any right now, so we'll have to make do with you, you don't want to hand over this mess to Cyber, think of his style, he Likely to kill half the city to find the Joker and strangle him."

"A man in the Wayne family never gives up halfway, and I'm sure you won't either."

After finishing speaking, Ah Fu picked up the cold breakfast and was about to leave. Bruce covered his face with his hands, as if he was thinking for himself. When Ah Fu walked to the door, Bruce raised his head and asked,

"Ah Fu, how did you catch that jewel thief hiding in the forest?"

Alfred's body froze for a moment, and this question seemed to have caused him some bad memories, but in the end, he still spoke,

"We burned the whole forest."

Bruce was startled, he nodded, and stopped talking.

Three calm days passed in a flash. During this process, Saber received a phone call, and then that night, he left his villa alone.

Wayne Hospital, intensive care unit, Harvey Dent suddenly opened his eyes, this is not the first time he has woken up, but the unimaginable pain still came from the left side of his body, that is A feeling mixed with pain and itching was almost unbearable, but his arms were fixed on the hospital bed and could not move, so he could almost bear the pain forcefully.

"ah"

He groaned, half of his face was covered with gauze, with the movement of his head, blood gushed out from the wound, instantly dyeing the gauze completely red.

Then he saw the figure sitting beside his hospital bed, with his back turned to him, as if he was reading a newspaper. After hearing the voice, he turned around. It was a face that Harvey remembered deeply. Not long ago, He's also been humiliated by this guy on the docks.

"Sab Hawk...you...why are you here?"

His voice was dry and completely lacking the magnetism it had before. If the complete right half of his face was not taken into consideration, it could almost be called the voice of a devil. It was like steel rubbing against each other, and it hurt people's ears.

"shh"

Saibo showed him a mysterious smile, then pointed out the door, in the dim light, he took out something from the side, looked at Harvey,

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

As he spoke, he put the things in his hands on his face, and when he raised his head again, the distorted ghost face appeared in front of Harvey's eyes, as well as the voice distorted by the voice changer.

"That's who I am...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 it became calm, he already felt everything that happened to him, he looked at Seber's mask, struggled and said,

"What's wrong with me? They don't tell me things, is something wrong with me?"

"You were kidnapped by the clown, not only you, but also Gordon's wife, son, daughter, and our wise Mayor Nestor..."

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

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

"Can I have a mirror?"

This request made Saber startled for a moment, he hesitated, he looked at Harvey, "Are you sure? You probably can't accept the way you are now... If it were me, I might as well just die."

"give it to me!"

Harvey's voice became louder in vain, and it didn't take even a second for it to go from quiet to irritable. Saibo took a deep breath, took out a mirror from the table next to him, and placed it in front of Harvey.

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

"Help me take it off, those nurses won't help me, thank you."

Harvey said in a low voice, Seb stretched out his hand, and gently tore it off, taking off the gauze with blood and flesh, revealing Harvey's complete half face.

Horror... Even a well-informed person like Saibo, seeing the image of the combination of the intact right face and the almost completely burnt left face, leaving only flesh and blood tissue, felt a little bit shocked , the scariest thing is the eyes, without the protection of the skin, it seems that they will fall off at any time.

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.

The irony is that when Batman carried Harvey out of the explosion scene, the burning oil and flames seemed to be under the control of some kind of hidden force, and almost perfectly scorched half of Harvey's body. Just the face, but also the chest, arms and skin.

It's like a line that goes down the middle of the forehead and divides the complete body into two halves.

"hehe…"

But after suffering such a horrible injury, Harvey didn't go into a rage or go crazy. On the contrary, he accepted the fact calmly. He laughed and said in a terrifying voice,

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

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

Saibo said to Harvey, "Although your situation is very bad, it is not impossible..."

"Um?"

Harvey turned his head to Sable, and the terrifying right face appeared in front of Sable's eyes. He said shyly, "What do you mean?"

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

"Are you...a mutant?"

Harvey started from waking up, and until now has been calm until now, and finally there is a slight fluctuation in his cruel tone. He said in surprise, "Isn't Gotham a restricted area for mutants? I remember...ahem...this city has legislated to expel mutants ...you're not coming here, are you?"

"I'm a bit special."

Seber didn't want to say too much on this issue, he took off his mask, looked at Harvey seriously,

"I think that with mutants' weird abilities, it might be possible to heal your injuries..."

Harvey's terrifying eyes turned and stared at Saber,

"What's the price?"

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

Seber looked at Harvey with a strange expression, "You didn't speak like that before."

"I have walked between life and death. If I don't gain anything, I will lose a lot, Seber... During these three days, I finally figured out one thing."

Harvey closed his eyes. Of course, the right eye without the eyelid cannot be closed. He said, "I finally understand how ridiculous the belief I once insisted on is that law and justice are the means of life for ordinary people. But there are always some people, the law does not work, I understand it too late, it made me become like this, but this is very good, after peeling off the layer of hypocrisy, I can understand more clearly See the world."

"Hehe, I have already said that there is another you hidden under your appearance."

Saibo chuckled, he looked around, "Well, there is no price, I just think the clown will continue to use you, it's for protection..."

"To be honest, I can feel you lying."

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

"Well, the price is, I hope you can help me. To be precise, those members of the Devil Gang have encountered some troubles recently. If the Gotham matter is not resolved, I can't rush there, so I hope to find someone with enough Competent people can help me solve it.”

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

Harvey opened his eyes and looked at Sable,

"Why me? Why did you choose me?"

Seb lit a cigarette, he exhaled the smoke ring, looked at Harvey, and said softly,

"Because I know clowns..."
