I, V, Gotham Legend

Harvey didn't buy it. "I haven't seen your membership package. I won't shortchange you, but how could you possibly start a business of protecting people? You don't seem like an idle person. If everyone buys your business, will you still protect everyone?"

Valerie was a little overwhelmed. She couldn't understand why Harvey was so serious after waking up. She reasonably suspected that he was affected by his second personality.

Valerie couldn't think of any other reason, so she just threw in the towel and said, "I'm a superhero. Is there anything wrong with me wanting to help prosecutors who serve the country and the people?"

However, Prosecutor Harvey, who had been arguing, fell silent.

NO72. Come on, come on

It was the first time that Valerie called herself a superhero, and as soon as she blurted it out, she felt as if a fire had ignited in her heart and she was filled with shame.

It's as shameful as recalling how I called myself a prince when I was a kid playing house with my friends.

But Harvey fell silent. He carefully recalled Valerie's personality and her interactions with the heroes of Gotham, and couldn't help but agree with what she said.

But Harvey is not a fool. Although he is willing to believe in the good side of people from the bottom of his heart, it does not mean that he is a big victim.

After thinking for a long time, Harvey patted his pocket as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Where's my coin?"

Valerie understood. She walked to the bedside table of Harvey's bed, opened the drawer, and took out a bunch of personal belongings, including a wallet and the coin with human portraits on both sides.

"You were holding this thing tightly when you were sent here. It was not convenient for the operation, so I took it off."

Harvey took the coin and turned it over to take a look, only to find that the portrait, which should have been the same as the front, had turned black.

"..." Harvey remembered that he had been holding the coin in the court to relieve his tension.

It was the hand holding the coin that he used to shield his face when Maroni threw sulfuric acid at him.

As a result, not only was his face splashed with sulfuric acid, but his arms and fists that were blocking his eyes were also burned by sulfuric acid.

It seems that the coin in my hand has also been damaged, but fortunately, only one side is damaged.

Seeing Harvey staring at the coin in a trance, Valerie couldn't help but ask, "Do you want me to fix it for you?"

"No need." Harvey shook his head, "Let it make the decision."

As he spoke, Harvey flipped the coin with his thumb and watched it tumble in the air.

……

The hovercraft, which was made invisible by optical camouflage, slowly rose into the air until it was swallowed by another invisible object like phagocytosis.

The hovercraft stopped on the platform of the Kryptonian spaceship, and its white shell was revealed in an instant. Valerie opened the door and let the two people in the back get out.

"During this period... until Mr. Dent's schizophrenia is cured, you can stay here temporarily. Don't worry, it's very safe."

Valerie said to the two guests.

Since Jenny was still pregnant, Valerie had not tested whether a pregnant woman could pass through the teleporter normally, so she took the safe route to drive them up.

"And Harvey Dent, for the sake of your wife, I suggest that you sleep separately. I reasonably suspect that your second personality has... violent tendencies." Valerie tried to use some professional terms.

"...I respect the coin's choice. It makes me trust you." Harvey pondered.

Valerie nodded in satisfaction and took the two of them to the lobby.

Barbara, who was dressed like a witch with a big pointed hat and a veil covering her face, sat up straight when she saw Valerie and her friends come in, but her hands were still on the keyboard.

"This is my hacker, Prophet," Valerie introduced them.

She specifically reminded Barbara to change her clothes before coming. The Dents were only staying temporarily, so there was no need for them to reveal their identities in front of them.

Barbara nodded to the two of them. Although she was wearing a voice changer, she still spoke in a deliberately rough voice: "Hello, don't worry, I will be off work in two hours, so I won't delay your time."

"...Thank you." Harvey thought about the courtesy. He always felt that this prophet was familiar.

Barbara deliberately looked away, pretending not to care about them and hoping they would leave quickly.

As Gordon's partner, Harvey had been to Commissioner Gordon's house and met Barbara in person, so Barbara was a little nervous about disguising herself in front of acquaintances.

Fortunately, Harvey and the others were more nervous. In their opinion, V's companions must be extraordinary.

"I never thought there would be such a spaceship over Gotham." Harvey looked up at the ceiling and exclaimed.

"This is just temporary, there will be bigger ones in the future." Valerie said proudly.

Her space station is already under construction. The foundation and frame have been built. It is expected that if everything goes well, it will be officially completed in two months - this is two months according to Valerie's standards.

"Let me show you around first...that's the dormitory area." Valerie said as she walked towards a door first.

The Harveys followed along, initially following Valerie, but soon became fascinated by the interior that was so different from the style on Earth.

Harvey was so shocked that he was walking and visiting the spaceship, and he didn't notice that there was suddenly a person in front of him. He bumped into him head-on, but he didn't feel like he was hit.

It was not until he passed the man that Harvey turned around in surprise. He saw Joe in a white robe looking at him curiously.

"This is the artificial intelligence built into this spaceship. I call him Old Joe." Valerie explained in words they could understand. "Just think of him as the butler here. You can ask him any questions you have."

Harvey kept looking at Joe and nodding blankly until his wife patted his shoulder and he came back to his senses.

"That's about it. Joe will arrange a room for you." Valerie gave the last instructions to the Harveys, then waved goodbye. "Then I'll leave you first. Remember to take your medicine on time, Harvey Dent."

With that, Valerie waved and returned to the hall.

"Come with me. As V instructed, I have prepared two rooms for you. They won't be far away, though." Joe said to the two.

After Valerie returned to the hall, she did not leave immediately. She walked to the operating table in two or three steps and called up the built-in surveillance of the spacecraft.

With Krypton technology, even surveillance is three-dimensional.

"V?" Barbara walked over to Valerie and looked at the surveillance camera with her. "What is this? Do you still need to monitor them?"

Barbara only knew that the Dents were coming to live on the spaceship for a while, and she knew nothing else.

"Dent's medicine will wear off in the second half of the night, so I have to wait here." Valerie stared at the surveillance camera and took out a bag of energy drink from her pocket. "They probably won't leave after they return to their room tonight."

Barbara didn't know what the medicine was. She stared at Valerie, hoping Miss V could give her an answer.

“…” Valerie thought about it and briefly explained the whole story to Barbara.

"...You mean, Harvey can now connect to the Internet with his brain?" However, after listening to everything, Barbara's first focus was on this.

"You want one too?" Valerie raised an eyebrow. "It's not impossible."

"Let's talk about it later, at least until I figure out how to explain it to my dad." Barbara skipped the topic. "I mean, can we use the hacking stuff we made that day to deal with Harvey now?"

NO73. Split scene

After taking immunosuppressants as prescribed by the doctor, Harvey fell on the bed and tried to force himself to fall asleep.

His future life was full of confusion and he didn't know what to do.

What about the Dent Act? There are still a lot of criminals at large in Gotham.

Because of the trauma of his childhood, Harvey would leave a night light on when he went to bed. He would lie on the bed with his forearms covering his eyes.

But perhaps because he had slept too many times today, he couldn't fall asleep.

It felt like it was getting later and later, maybe even the early morning, but he still didn't feel tired. He put down his hands and looked at the ceiling.

"The first time we met was also in a small room like this, right?" Harvey recalled the movie he had seen and said to his other personality as if jokingly.

However, he did not answer himself. It seemed that his personality was still asleep. Harvey put his forearm in front of his eyes again and tried to continue hypnotizing himself.

"No..." But at this moment, he felt his mouth opening uncontrollably, "We first met much earlier, but you didn't know it."

Harvey was stunned. He felt as if his blood pressure was suddenly pumped through his blood vessels, and his heart beat faster and faster.

The feeling was very obvious as he couldn't see anything because of the obstruction.

"I know you're scared. We are the same person." Harvey's mouth moved uncontrollably as he was talking to himself.

He couldn't help but lower his arms and stare at the ceiling to distract himself from the nausea: "Are you angry? I'm even angrier. I always thought I was a healthy person."

But as if to comfort or to establish his authority, Harvey's forearm uncontrollably covered his eyes.

His mouth opened uncontrollably again: "Of course you are healthy, because I have taken on all those dark and depraved things."

Harvey's eyes hurt from the pressure of his forearm. He gritted his teeth and forcibly pried his arm off: "That's a really cliché setting. So you want to take revenge on society? Two-faced man."

"Two-faced man?" The forearm forced back, "We only have one face. You should let me out. Then we can talk about revenge."

"Dream on." Harvey used his other hand. He had to make sure his eyes could see something. "Since you said you represent incompleteness and negativity, you should be hidden."

"Don't be ridiculous. Look at what you've become." His forearm struggled, always shielding one of his eyes. "How long has it been since you last had a drink? I've heard your body roar countless times for some fun."

"I have given up all these for my dream, and I can bear it." Harvey said righteously.

"Come on, enjoyment and dreams don't conflict." Two-Face sneered, "You've paid so much for Gotham, a city that has nothing to do with you, but what have you gained? Being splashed with sulfuric acid in the face, and then being scared by those gangsters so much that you don't even want to go home?"

"These are the birth pains before rebirth. These are acceptable sacrifices before Gotham regains its life." Harvey sat up abruptly and said with a grin. "I will continue until... justice is achieved."

"Haha, fuck justice! These criminals don't care about these boring things at all!" Vulgar words came out of Harvey's mouth, "Fear! They only remember fear! Only fear can bring order!"

"Fear? Of course, justice and law can make the criminals in Gotham afraid." Harvey said firmly.

"Yeah, they throw sulfuric acid on your face out of fear." Two-Face said sarcastically.

Harvey suddenly felt the struggle on his arm disappear. He put down his hand and looked around in confusion.

Then, his legs stood up uncontrollably and he forced his way towards the door.

Harvey thought Two-Face was going to open the door. He was about to stop him, but he saw his hands directly on the door and a mirror hanging in front of him.

"Look! What you look like now!" said the two-faced man coldly.

Harvey stared at the mirror in a daze. He looked like a horrifying half-human, half-ghost. The eyeballs on that half of his burnt face looked like they would pop out at any moment.

"No... this is an illusion..."

"Of course this is an illusion, but you will soon return to this, because I have always been here." The two-faced man roared in a low voice, "That woman gave you drugs, right? As time goes by, the effect of the drug will only get worse. At least last time, I couldn't move these two arms.

Sooner or later, I will become the dominant personality and you will become the drugged-out accessory.

And now, I want to turn the illusion into reality, and turn this face in the mirror into our real face!"

As Two-Face said this, he was about to open the door. Harvey struggled hard, his body twisting in place as if dancing.

They were unable to gain control of their bodies and for a moment they froze at the door, even banging it several times.

Knowing that neither of them could do anything to the other, the two-faced man compromised: "Since we can't reach a consensus, let's use your method."

Harvey froze, his hand already reaching into his pocket and pulling out a coin.

"Just toss this side and you'll do what I tell you to do." The Two-Faced Man held the coin in front of his eyes, allowing Harvey to see the black burn marks on it.

"No..." Harvey's vocal cords trembled, but Two-Face had already flipped the coin.

Maybe Two-Face wanted to catch it, or maybe the coin had been thrown for so long that it had become an instinct for Harvey to raise his hand, wanting to catch it.

But his hand froze when it was halfway extended, and the coin brushed against his palm and fell to the ground as expected, bouncing a few times like a ping-pong ball before finally landing on the ground.

Harvey wanted to lower his head, and he felt that Two-Face did the same, they wanted to see the outcome of the coin.

But his neck seemed to be frozen and he couldn't move it. He felt like he couldn't even blink.

My whole body suddenly became unable to move, as if I was petrified!

"squeak……"

With the sound of pneumatic movement, the door in front of Harvey opened automatically, and the blue-haired beauty slowly appeared behind the door with her hands in her pockets.

"..." Harvey and Two-Face wanted to open their mouths at the same time, but he couldn't move at all.

Valerie bent down, picked up the coin from the floor, and then stuffed it back into Harvey's shirt pocket.

"It's not the side you mentioned. You don't have to disfigure yourself." Valerie said softly.

She had no idea which side the two-faced man was betting on, but she had the final say.

Seeing that Harvey still didn't move, Valerie pulled out a remote from her pocket as if she had just remembered and pressed a button at Harvey.

As if he was finally liberated, Harvey fell to the ground helplessly.

"Now, I need to have a serious talk with you." Valerie put the remote back into her pocket. "This is serious business, about how we will treat you from now on."
