"Peter! Peter! Answer received! "
A familiar voice rang out from the communication device. Peter, who was sitting in a police car, was rushing toward the hotel where the terrorists were holding hostage. He picked up the communication device and said, "Gordon, where are you? The Mayor and the rest have been captured by a group of daring terrorists! I'm going to save them! "
"Don't go there! Peter! "
Gordon seemed to be in a very noisy place. He had to shout loudly so that Deputy Commissioner Peter of the Gotham Police Station could hear him. "That's not important! Take everyone you can find and go to Gotham's sewers! "
"You're crazy! Gordon! That's the Mayor! "
Peter was shocked when he received his superior's order. He subconsciously asked, "If something happens to them, we won't be able to escape responsibility …"
"But those terrorists have installed a bomb in the sewers. They want to destroy the whole of Gotham!"
Gordon's voice became hurried, as if he was roaring. "Even if you save the Mayor, it's useless. We'll all be buried with Gotham! Go to the sewers quickly. I've already called the other station chiefs. We have to capture those bastards before the explosion! "
"Beep beep beep"
Gordon hung up the phone. Peter's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked out the window at the rapidly receding night sky. In a daze, Peter felt that he had returned to the time when the Joker wreaked havoc in the city. At that time, they were also played like this. However, there was no time for him to think about the current situation.
"Turn around!"
Peter gritted his teeth. "Call all the brothers who are still on duty. We have a lot of work to do! Lock down all the entrances and exits of the sewers in Gotham. Keep these bastards inside! "
All the police in the city were mobilized within ten minutes. Under Commissioner Gordon's remote command and Deputy Commissioner Peter's on-site command, they split into batches and entered the sewers to capture the terrorists before the heavily-armed police cleared the way. However, this was not a small task. Gotham had eight million people. The city's sewers blueprints had been sorted out to more than 500 pages …
While the police were mobilized, Peter did not relax his efforts to rescue the Mayor. A team of the most elite police officers had surrounded the entire hotel. The person leading them … was Gordon.
"The people inside, listen up. No matter what you want, come out and tell us! Don't hurt the hostages! "
Gordon, who had rushed over, took the loudspeaker from the officer's hand and shouted, "We don't know who you are, and we don't know what you want, but don't fight in such an intense way. Tell me, what do you want?"
"Bang!"
A gunshot shattered the glass outside the hotel. All the police officers outside the hotel subconsciously put their fingers on the trigger. The reporters who were further away, who did not care about their lives, became alert. This was obviously a sign that something big was about to happen. The moment they picked up their cameras, Ben did not disappoint them. His figure appeared outside the hotel. He was holding a fat man with a big belly.
"What do I want? Hehe, it's very simple. "
Ben's low voice was transmitted to the entire scene. Through the television broadcast, it was transmitted to more people's televisions. "I'm not here to hurt you, people of Gotham. On the contrary, I'm here to hand over the management of this city to you … I'm here to truly hand over this city to you!"
The moment Ben stood up, Gordon's fingers tightened on the loudspeaker. He started to regret. He suddenly felt that he had made a foolish decision.
"The last time we came to Gotham, the city was filled with homeless people. There was a small group of people who took the wealth in their hands by suppressing others' right to live. They were stingy and unwilling to share it with anyone who needed it. We tried to change this unfairness, but we were stopped by your so-called 'superheroes'."
Ben's voice became louder and louder. He really sounded like a righteous liberator.
"But look around you. Five years have passed. Has your life really become better? They fooled you. They created a beautiful future for you. They made you give up the power to resist them. But did they do it? No! The city is still in chaos. You still haven't gotten what you want. It should have been yours. It was the wealth that you created with your own hands! "
"But today! Everything has changed! "
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz"
As Bain finished, three helicopters that were parked above the hotel switched on their searchlights. The searchlights pierced through the night sky. They rose into the air with three objects dangling in the air behind Bain. As the people in the helicopters pressed the switch, the next second, Bain's figure appeared on all the big screens on the streets of Gotham and on all the televisions in the homes of the city. Bain's voice was also accompanied by his inspiring voice.
The pedestrians who were walking on the streets of Gotham saw this scene. They couldn't help but stop and listen to the voice that suddenly appeared.
"Look, this is the person who owns the most property in the city. I will ask him now."
He turned his head to look at the fat man kneeling at his feet. He said softly, "Are you willing to share your wealth with those who need it?"
The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against the fat man's neck. He wanted to say no, but the threat of death forced him to nod his head. He said loudly,
"Yes! I am willing. Anyone who needs it can take it from me! "
"Very good!"
Ben nodded his head in satisfaction. His face appeared on the big screen again. His pair of fierce eyes looked at the camera, "Did you hear that? Go and take it. If you think that society owes you, then go and take it. Mr. Duke has already shared all his wealth with you! "
Of course, no one was going to take it. The people from Gotham were not idiots. Therefore, Bain shrugged. With a flick of his finger, the image on the big screen changed. It split into four parts, and it looked like a surveillance camera in the city. The people saw police officers lining up in a long line to enter the underground sewer. After the last person entered, the four images lit up at the same time.
The entire city seemed to shake at this moment. The sound of the explosion seemed to have come from somewhere not far from the crowd. Screams rang out in the city in the night. Ben's recognizable voice was also heard.
"I know what you are worried about. I know what you are afraid of. But do you see it? The minions of the City Hall were all locked up. They would pay for what they had done, and tonight they would pay for what they had done! No one can stop you from taking what belongs to you. Go and take the wealth that belongs to you. You don't have to worry about anyone coming after you! "
Ben spread his hands, as if he was not afraid that the police would shoot at him. He took out a picture from his pocket and placed it in front of him. In front of the camera, everyone could see the picture clearly. It was Harvey Dent, the Knight of Light who was praised by the city for a long time. He fought for the justice and justice of the city. In the end, he perished together with the evil Joker. After him, Gotham welcomed its own peace.
"Oh, maybe you are still hesitating. Maybe you still miss the 'order' of this city. Maybe you need more reasons to convince yourself?"
"Alright, I will give you this reason!"
Ben tore open the picture in his hand. The next moment, the image on the big screens in the city changed. A tall building made of marble appeared. This building was famous in Gotham. It was the symbol of the city's legal system, the Black Gate Prison. It held more than 1300 criminals who could not be paroled. Due to the existence of the Dent Act, these vicious criminals had to stay in the city for at least 10 years.
In a sense, this prison was also a symbol of peace in the city. It had truly achieved the result that Harvey Dent had wanted to achieve. All the crimes that had been proven would receive their due punishment.
Ben's voice-over sounded in the picture of the prison.
"The Black Gate Prison is a symbol of oppression that has never been seen before in human history. More than a thousand people lost their freedom because of one person. That person is … Harvey Dent, your Knight of Light, the hero who saved the city. In this city, you call him the embodiment of justice. If he really deserved this title, even a cruel person like me would admire him. However, is the situation really like this?"
"No!"
Ben's voice became angry. "He is not! He does not deserve the glory that you have given him. He is a fake hero created by the fallen officials! A fake existence that appeases you and makes you satisfied with the status quo! Evidence? Of course, I will give you evidence! "
"Swoosh."
The picture changed again. Harvey Dent, who had become a two-faced man, was standing on the balcony of his official residence in Mexico. He seemed to be enjoying the breeze. The camera was focused on him from below. In the picture, Harvey's finger was waving downwards. The next moment, the scene changed again. Below the official residence, rows of soldiers in American military uniforms were brutally shot.
Of course, this did not happen in reality. This was an ingenious editing. However, the problem was that sometimes, for the people, they did not care whether it was real or fake. They only cared about what they saw …
The picture was enlarged bit by bit under artificial manipulation. Although it was a little blurry, from the iconic half of the face, anyone could recognize that it was Harvey Dent, the Harvey who was advertised to be dead.
"Look, this is your Knight of Justice. He became a warlord in Mexico and slaughtered righteous soldiers. Oh, maybe you can doubt the authenticity of this video as much as you want. It doesn't matter. But for me, I can't stand this kind of deception, especially when more than a thousand people lost their freedom and everything because of this hypocrite!"
"Citizens of Gotham, do you still not understand? Your so-called order is built on a clumsy lie. Can this kind of order really protect the justice that you want? Do you really need the order that these liars told you? "
"If the police in Gotham are really protecting the freedom of the people, then why is The Devil Gang still standing strong?"
"If the order in Gotham is really serving you, then why are three quarters of the cities still in chaos?"
"If the order in Gotham has really improved in the past few years, then why do you still not dare to walk alone in the darkness?"
"Do you still want to continue being deceived by these liars, these shameless scum? Look at the pitiful people in this prison. They have been locked up for five years, and the 'Dante Act' that punishes them is just a lie! "
Ben's voice became louder and louder. Even the police standing in front of him could not help but put down the guns in their hands. It was not only because Ben seemed to be on the side of justice, but more importantly, a large number of armed thugs were swarming in from all directions. After losing most of the police, the city was no longer defended.
"We want to take over Gotham from the hands of those corrupt people! We want to take back our wealth from the hands of those heartless rich people! We want to take it back from those who have been using the rules that they set to restrain you. We want to take over the real Gotham City! We want to make it a real Gotham that truly belongs to the citizens of Gotham! "
"Boom!"
The moment Ben finished speaking, the door of Blackgate Prison on the screen was blasted open by a bomb. A group of people rushed in, and moments later, prisoners wearing orange mortal clothes walked out of the prison with their weapons raised high. Ben's voice also fell into the last few moments.
"We want to return Gotham to you … Now, it is yours. No one can interfere. You … are free!"
"Is there anyone who is willing to join us?"
Ben's gaze fell on Gordon in front of him. The latter was obviously struggling. He felt that his lips were dry, but the moment he touched the Spirit Stone in his pocket, Gordon took a deep breath and made a decision. He put down the loudspeaker in his hand. Under the gaze of the remaining police officers, he walked forward and finally stood beside Ben.
"I …"
Gordon looked at his colleagues who were looking at him in disbelief. He opened his mouth and said softly, "I once made a mistake … Now, I want to make up for it."
"Look! Finally, a hero has stood up! You are not alone! You … "
"Bang!"
Blood splattered behind Bain. He turned around in disbelief, only to see Gordon's resolute eyes once more.
"If I really do that, Barbara and Old Teach will despise me … Citizens of Gotham! Don't listen to his nonsense, this city … "
"Puff!"
Just as Commissioner Gordon's voice was raised, two long black swords pierced through his back. At that moment, all of his strength was sucked out of his body. He knelt on the ground weakly. He opened his hands and the black Spirit Stone stained with blood rolled out on the ground.
Ben moved his shoulders and the wound on his back quickly healed. He looked at Gordon with eyes full of anger.
"You … You have made a wrong decision! You have ruined this perfect debut! "
"No, I … I am only … only … atoning for my sins!"
