Chapter 8

The night in Gotham seems to be the same forever. The high-end restaurants and nightclubs in the center of the city will never be short of guests. They will squander a lot of money in exchange for physical or spiritual happiness. For example, eat a dinner that will cost the poor half of their life savings, or play with a young man of dust.

In the alleys not far from these buildings, people's screams and gunshots will be heard from time to time. In the dark, evil always dominates.

Any criminal act can be seen in Gotham. No matter how bizarre the crime itself or the perpetrator is, you can see it in Gotham. This is the living museum of modern criminal history.

Chaos and order are intertwined, and the black and white world is fading away, surrounded by gray areas.

Gotham's night will never change, at least not better.

Having worked here for 30 years, James Gordon understood this profoundly.

He started as a small homicide detective and became a sheriff until today's director. As a man, he was struggling.

It's not only because there is some discrimination against men in the world's workplace, but also because everyone knows that he is a man of integrity. However, there are very few really innocent people in the city. Everyone is more or less involved in things in the dark.

The mayor is a regular customer of penguin iceberg restaurant. Senators are selling Arkham's drugs to scarecrows. The chief justice is an old boss of two-sided women. The black mask is attached to Gotham Institute and blatantly uses chemical plants in the city to cover drug production.

In such a city, he can become a police chief, and he has not been killed. Sometimes he thinks it is a miracle.

But reason always reminds him that it is not like this, it is not a miracle, but because there is always a shadow in the dark behind him.

The shadow came and went in the dark, jealous of evil.

She'll take over what the law can't do, or what the police can't do. Gordon's attempt to kill a woman in a uniform is not without the idea of killing them.

Fear.

Yes, anyone who has a dark heart will be afraid of the bat in the dark. She is thoughtful, vigorous, and everywhere, and never soft.

When Gordon was the captain, the bat girl appeared for the first time. At first, Gordon refused the masked police.

Because you say you are a good man, I can't let you shake your face in the city and hit people at will. I always want to see if your actions really have an effect on public security, rather than making the city more chaotic.

Gotham at that time was far from what it is now. The Mafia family dominated by the underworld boss Falcone spread throughout the city, and even half of the police stations were underworld policemen.

Drugs, smuggling, arms, slaves, they do whatever they make money, and officials weave them into umbrellas.

Gordon tried to capture these gangsters, but there was always a lot of resistance. At this time, the bat girl helped him. She used violence to obtain evidence, knocked down the officials who colluded with the gangs, so that Gordon could use the law to punish them.

And in the end, when Gordon and Falcone finally fight each other, bats destroy Falcone's self-confidence, completely destroy the underworld giant, and let the sun come to Gotham.

Since then, Gordon's attitude towards bat girls has turned a blind eye.

Her behavior is really good for Gotham, is good for the people, as for dressing like a bat... Maybe it's a personal hobby?

When I think of that time, Gordon will inevitably show a smile...

"Captain Gordon, I heard that the criminal who robbed the bank last night was knocked down by a strange woman in bat costume. What's the police opinion on this Reporters frantically surrounded the police station gate, where Gordon, the captain, was escorting prisoners from the police car.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Gotham has never had a weirdo in bat tights Gordon is right.

"But we have videos, we have evidence." Reporters did not give up and said that they all had real hammers.

"All the forgeries are forgeries. On behalf of Gotham City Police Department, I would like to express my serious concern and strongly condemn it!" Gordon said seriously at once.

But after all the prisoners are locked up, he will run to the utility room on the roof and secretly call the bat girl to complain. What's wrong with you this time? Can you avoid the monitoring and do it again next time.

bat girls in those days were quite good at speaking, and their behaviors were quite restrained.

But with the passage of time, Gotham had a bat woman, or spread out, which attracted her friends. Unfortunately, these masked people are all villains and neurotics, which also makes Gotham's security situation rapidly worsen.

After that, in Gotham, if someone called the police again, it would not be the bank being robbed or the family being robbed. Instead, it would be a big event that would bring the whole city to hell.For example, there are madmen who hide nuclear warheads in the city center and want to practice with bat girls on their own, or some people have kidnapped hundreds of hostages in buildings to play guessing games with bat girls.

Fortunately, the bat girl finally solved these problems, but inevitably, her opponents also appeared in the city. They felt that it was the bat who attracted the villains from all over the world to Gotham.

And bats don't intend to explain anything about it. They still go their own way, and their methods are more cruel.

Gordon also became director at that time, and he immediately ordered bat lights to be set up on the top of the police station building, no longer covered up. When the bat light is on, it means that he has something to discuss with the bat girl. There is a new madman in the city, and the bat girl needs to solve it.

Yes, since then, the police will no longer be able to deal with the criminals who appear again. They have to rely on Batwoman. The role of the police is to wait for Gordon's order to clean up the criminals left by Batwoman after the event. At that time, the criminals were often comatose or disabled.

Fortunately, Gotham was dangerous at that time, but at least people were not what they are today. At least at that time, people still had good expectations.

Until bat girl's biggest rival comes.

No one knows where she came from. She has long green hair and a pale face. Her face is always an exaggerated smile. She also likes to carve this smile on other people's faces with a knife.

She did a couple of big things, telling people how crazy she was, and that being crazy was a good thing.

Don't worry about death, hunger and poverty any more. Just laugh happily every day!

She planted the seeds of madness deeply in Gotham's heart, and waited patiently and secretly for them to germinate. From time to time, she would also do something to promote her growth, just for the sake of more fun.

She was entangled with the bat girl, caught countless times, and escaped from prison countless times, as if the city had become their stage, and she only wanted all the attention of the bat to her.

Until half a year ago, the jester thought of a new game and planned to invite Gordon to act as a prop. As a result, something went wrong in the kidnapping process. Gordon's daughter Barbara was hit by a bullet on her lumbar spine and became paraplegia. She spent the rest of her life in a wheelchair.

At the end of the matter, the jester was caught by the Bat again. Gordon wanted to kill her to avenge his daughter, but the bat woman blocked the muzzle of the gun and told him not to be fooled by the jester, not to be dominated by madness, and not to lose principle.

In the end, Gordon put down his gun and chose to act according to the law. The law has no judgment on mental illness and will only be sent to Arkam for treatment...

but who can cure the jester? The doctor who once treated her was influenced by her and became today's ugly little Harley Quinn. She not only helped the jester escape from prison, but also created the monster double faced woman.

Since then, Arkham has stopped arranging doctors for the jester.

This time, the jester seemed to be tired of playing. She stayed in Arkham honestly, and there was no movement for a long time.

But according to the past experience, if the Jester is caught, the ugly girl will completely calm down as if she lost her soul. So for the last time did not catch Hally, bat woman and Gordon are not too concerned, this is better, if two people are locked in Arkham at the same time, on the contrary, there will be an accident.

About half a month before Su Ming's arrival...

Gordon, as usual, woke up from the nightmare, shook his head, groped for his glasses to put on. He found that he was not tied to the roller coaster of the amusement park by the jester. He did not have to face the crazy scene, but was in his own bed at home.

The sheets were soaked with cold sweat, and the sound of the unclosed windows was heard, and the curtains were lifted high by the wind.

The electronic alarm clock at the head of his bed told him that it was only four o'clock in the middle of the night. He had just been lying down for two hours. As a result, Barbara fell into a pool of blood and the Joker kept laughing wildly.

Gordon's first wife divorced him, saying goodbye to Gotham and her daughter, and there was no news. The second wife, a police officer, was killed by a jester while on duty to save the babies.

In addition to jesters, they often appear in Gordon's nightmares. Now only their daughter, who is dependent on each other, is also made disabled by the jester.

Gordon has a reason for anyone to be crazy, but he doesn't. He still sticks to justice and law.

He took the gun from under his pillow, first closed the windows that had not been closed, and then carefully checked every room to prevent bad people from sneaking in. Finally, he came to Barbara's door.

He opened the door gently. By moonlight, he saw his daughter sleeping in bed. He put the pistol in his waist and went to the kitchen to find some water to drink.

There was not much in the fridge. When Barbara was still healthy, her daughter did housework at home. Gordon was too busy to go shopping in the supermarket.

Looking for a long time, only found half a box of milk, should not be expired, can slightly moisten throat.

Just as he was drinking milk and closing the door of the refrigerator, a man appeared behind the door of the refrigerator, which scared him to throw the bottle out."The next time you go to bed, you'd better close the window first."

"Poof... Damn it! Bat girl, can't you make a little noise? It's always such a sudden appearance that it scares me to death! " Gordon squirts milk out of her mouth, and the bat girl dodges quickly. There is not a drop on her cloak.

"Because... I'm a bat girl!" The visitor answered without expression, and the voice was obviously changed by the muter.

"I know who you are and who you really are. I just won't say it!" Gordon went to the rag and tried to clean the floor: "it's four o'clock in the middle of the night, and all the crazy people are locked up. Can't you let me have a good sleep? You have nothing else to do at night? "

The bat girl completely ignored these words. Everyone knew that Bryce Wayne was a rich and worthless girl. People in the city thought that she was living a life of drunkenness and singing every night, but in fact, it was all the actors she hired to disguise her performance.

"I have to leave Gotham for a few days, and if I stay, it will be a threat to everyone," she said

"Oh? What kind of madman is this time? I'll call the Bureau. " Gordon breathed a breath, dropped his rag and went for his cell phone.

"I don't know. I'm still looking for clues."

The bat girl shakes her head and hides in the dark. The bat cloak completely blends her into the shadow, but Gordon, who is familiar with her, can guess what she is like now.

"How do you know the danger?" Gordon is strange.

"I've been told that, in some ways, he's very credible." The bat girl seemed to be feeling something in her pocket, but she didn't show it to Gordon: "you and Barbara will go with me at once, or those crazy people will use you to force me out."

Gordon was silent. After a moment, he shook his head. "No, I'm Gotham's police chief. I'll never leave. Whoever wants to make trouble in Gotham, unless I'm dead. "

"Are you sure? Although I don't know the specific situation, as far as I know, it is definitely far more dangerous than before. " "Maybe you can take a month off and we'll take Barbara around the world to see a doctor," Brix dissuaded

"No, I'm not going. You take Barbara. I'll stay here." Gordon insisted that once Batwoman left, if he left again, Gotham would be finished. Maybe in one night, his 30 years of hard work would be in vain: "even if they kill me, you must not come back."

"I won't go either. My father can stay, and I don't have to run away as a woman."

It turned out to be Barbara. After being disabled by the jester, although she had no worries about her life, the pain in her waist often made it difficult for her to fall asleep. In addition, she was always nervous and would wake up when there was wind and grass. This time, she heard the conversation between two people in the kitchen, so she came out of the room in a wheelchair.

"Barbara, you can think about it, maybe..." brisse said to her.

"No, even the jester didn't kill me, and others were even worse. I'll stay here with my father. I think the communication room of the police station is more secure and can play my computer skills."

Barbara refused her offer and said she wanted to live with Gotham.

Bris hesitated for a moment, and even she wanted to stay when they were so determined. But the mysterious man told her that if she continued to stay in Gotham, not only the city, but also the whole earth, would be in danger, and she would have to leave.

With a cloak, she left Gordon's house and went to meet where Alfred was waiting for her.

Gordon held Barbara and cried for a while, firming his confidence, he solemnly said to the darkness:

"we will not leave, Batwoman, go do what you should do, i.. Wait, she left again? Why can't you listen to me every time? "

Gordon was helpless. This time, like hundreds of times in the past, the bat girl suddenly appeared and disappeared. He never heard a farewell.

"Because that's what bat girl is like. Can you take me back to my room, dad?" Barbara covered her mouth and yawned.
