I, V, Gotham Legend

The lights shone on the dark clouds, like a full moon. I believe that everyone in the entire new city area can see it at this time.

When arresting the Joker yesterday, Gordon got a batarang from Batman. After thinking about it for half a night, he remade a searchlight in the shape of the batarang.

He had intended to try the bat light for the first time after he had some free time tonight, but unexpectedly, Harvey Dent got there first.

"Seeing the look on your face just now, I thought you were going to arrest me." Harvey joked when he saw Gordon calm down and appreciate the night view.

"I've learned to compromise lately." Gordon lit a cigarette.

Harvey reached out and touched the side of the bat lantern. "Can this thing really be called an urban legend?"

"This is my first attempt. If there is no news within half an hour, I will turn it off."

Gotham is in chaos, and Gordon doesn't have time to stay here all night.

"Really?" Harvey suddenly laughed and picked up the coin in his hand. "Then let me ask fate first."

Gordon looked at Harvey with a puzzled look as he flicked the coin. With a crisp sound, the small copper object spun in the air.

The coin fell, but was not caught by Harvey. A black glove suddenly stretched out and grabbed it in mid-air.

Gordon and Harvey both looked in surprise at the owner of the glove who suddenly appeared, a humanoid bat wearing a pitch-black cloak.

"It looks like fate has already made the decision," Harvey responded.

"I'm more accustomed to making my own decisions." Batman put the coin back into Harvey's hand.

"Me too, actually." Harvey said nothing more and stuffed the coin back into his pocket.

"You came faster than I thought. My men reported your whereabouts to me in Poly District twenty minutes ago." Gordon nodded slightly to Batman as a greeting.

"Not far," Batman simply nodded in response.

Harvey noticed that Batman's clothes were covered with marks, even knife marks and bullet holes.

"You've been fighting?"

"I've done some front-line investigations. So far, at least sixteen gangs in Gotham have joined the war, and one of them is a remnant of foreign mercenaries." Batman went straight to the point.

"The gang war broke out without warning and caught us off guard. I applied to the government for garrison intervention this afternoon, but have not received a reply yet." Gordon also shared the information with the two.

"It will be fruitless. The garrison may never arrive." Batman said something that made everyone present worried.

"I understand what you mean." Harvey raised the corners of his mouth with difficulty.

The corrupt Gotham government has been under the control of the gangs, so much so that they are watching from the sidelines, waiting for the situation to become clear before intervening.

"I just hope the struggle will come to an end soon...it wasn't so bad before Cobblepot was arrested..." Gordon sighed.

"You don't want to care anymore?" Harvey suddenly asked sternly.

"Of course not, but no matter how bad the order is, it is better than no order. Until the assets of Penguin and Black Mask are divided up, Gotham will remain in a bloody struggle."

Gordon's words were filled with fatigue.

"My police force is understaffed, and a significant number of them are more interested in joining the fight and investing in the next [Penguin] than maintaining order. In this situation, it is obviously unrealistic to just expect us to solve the problem."

After becoming the director, what Gordon faced and thought about were far more complicated than before. He has deeply understood that many things cannot be solved by passion alone.

"All the police can do is to maintain order as much as possible. Other than that, I can only compromise."

"You're not compromising at all, you're being weak." Harvey sighed in disappointment, "This is clearly a good opportunity to wipe out all the gangs in one fell swoop."

Gordon looked up in surprise: "What do you think?"

It was Batman who spoke first: "Decapitation operation, capture all the leaders."

"This is unrealistic. Gang fights are not just a matter of a few bosses. New heads will soon grow up." Gordon shook his head in embarrassment.

"So you have to chop off the head and crush the body at the same time." Harvey said confidently. "The gangs are just a group of snakes that devour each other. They are not united. The police station is short-handed only because you are dealing with all the gangs at the same time."

Gordon probably understood what he meant.

As long as the leader is beheaded, the already unstable new gang will immediately fall into chaos and become vulnerable without a leader. At that time, the police will intervene and gradually defeat them.

But that's just saying it's easy.

"How are we going to decapitate them? The government won't allow us to arrest their possible future owners."

"I don't need those approvals." Batman suddenly said, "I will go and behead those leaders. If necessary, I can also collect evidence of their crimes."

"Then I will send them all to jail in court!" Harvey held his head high.

"Can you do it?" Gordon was surprised. This was the most difficult step.

How can we send gangsters to jail in a government that we ourselves expect to be sidelined by gangsters?

Harvey laughed. "How do you think I won the lawsuit against Penguin? The government is not made up of just one or two people. There are always people who are unwilling to be dogs forever."

"What you said makes sense, but those people are only a minority after all. How can they have the right to speak?" Gordon still frowned.

"Gordon." Batman looked into Gordon's eyes. "How did you become the director?"

Gordon was stunned by this sentence.

Gordon, who has always been upright, has been able to rise to this point today. In addition to his merits and qualifications, the biggest reason is that he is lucky and all his competitors are dead.

"Those who are willing to be dogs for the gangs are destined to be unclean, and they are the ones we want to chop off." Batman said something that could be considered crazy.

NO31. Something big happened

"You want to take action against the government?" Gordon asked in surprise.

"I will target those who are determined to be guilty of unforgivable crimes and package them together with the evidence to make room for the people you want to support."

Sadly, in Gotham, such targets are easy to find.

"And the law. The biggest problem in Gotham right now is the long-standing laws that can be exploited too many times." Harvey felt a sense of mission. "Gotham needs a more concise bill that goes straight to the throats of the villains. And I happen to be a professional in this field."

"..."

Gordon looked at Harvey and Batman. They stood under the Batlight, the cloth on their shoulders reflecting the light, as if they were carrying the future.

It was as if something in my heart was ignited.

"I understand. When the time comes, our police department will arrest these bastards."

Gordon put out the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs of and walked under the bat light. They stood opposite each other, like an equilateral triangle.

"Haha...hahaha." Harvey laughed happily, "Tonight will definitely be a night that will go down in history! We will change Gotham!"

"Don't be happy too soon. What we have to face are not a few small thugs or a single gangster." Gordon poured a bucket of cold water on them, but he couldn't hide his excitement in his heart.

This is equivalent to declaring war on the dark side of the entire city.

The edges that had been worn away during his long career were sharpened again, and Gordon felt like every pore in his body was breathing with excitement.

He seemed to have returned to twenty years ago, when he was still a passionate young man.

At this moment, a burst of electric sound suddenly came from the walkie-talkie on Gordon's chest.

"Chief Gordon, Cash is back. He's at the door of the police station."

"Kash? Did he find the children?" Gordon remembered the mission assigned to Cash not long ago.

"I don't think the size of the thing he brought back can be considered a child..." The voice on the communication seemed to be still confused.

Gordon understood something. He immediately turned around and ran to the edge of the rooftop wall, looking towards the entrance of the police station.

I saw a familiar black policeman holding an iron rod, standing at the door and looking around blankly.

A huge green monster tied up with chains fell beside him with blood in its mouth.

"That's Cash? He caught the Alligator Man?" Gordon was shocked.

He had always been worried that Cash would be killed by the crocodile man, but he didn't expect that the crocodile man would be killed by him?

"It looks like the police department is going to have a brand new hero." Harvey walked behind Gordon, his tone relieved.

"I'm more concerned about whether he's injured." Gordon couldn't see Cash's severed limbs because he was too far away, but he noticed that the police officer's clothes had changed.

Is there anyone helping him?

Gordon decided to ask him first.

"Sorry, I need to excuse myself for a moment." Gordon turned around and said goodbye to Harvey.

"Oh, that's not necessary. I can go with you." Harvey said enthusiastically. He turned around and invited Batman, "Let's go together..."

He stopped talking halfway because there was no one under the bat light behind him.

The cool wind blows, leaving only emptiness.

"You'll get used to it." Gordon patted Harvey on the shoulder as someone who had experienced this.

...

The black high-tech sedan sped along the streets of Gotham. Valerie sat in the driver's seat, patting the steering wheel nervously.

After walking out of the sewer and seeing the nostalgic bat lights, Valerie had no time to recall her past life before she suddenly received a message, which was a missed call from Malone.

She tried to call back, but no one answered.

It was not until then that she realized the seriousness of the situation. Malone called her at about the same time as she entered the sewer.

I was lured away from my place.

The vague feeling of uneasiness that had always been there was finally confirmed, but Valerie thought she would be the one being targeted.

She left a lot of weapons for Ma Long, and Ma Long himself had considerable power, so she thought she could rest easy there.

Valerie gritted her teeth and turned the steering wheel.

Another sharp turn, and although Valerie tried her best to control the direction, the Sword in the Stone still broke several telephone poles.

Fortunately, the engine of this thing made quite a noise, so the gangs that were still fighting on the street moved away from it from a distance.

"Buzz..." Just as Valerie was still driving wildly, a phone call suddenly came in.

It's Batman.

"What's the matter?" Valerie answered the call directly through her brain without changing her speed.

"V, are you in a hurry now?"

"Where are you spying on me again?" Valerie stepped on the accelerator.

"Your engine is making a lot of noise."

"Okay, I know you're a great detective... Is that why you called?"

"Nothing. Watch your speed." After just a few words, Batman hung up the phone.

After seeing the drugged-out Croc, Batman immediately knew that V was nearby.

Therefore, he wanted to recruit V to join the plan to eradicate the cancer, but when he found Valerie nearby, she had already driven away at high speed.

And in the phone call just now, V didn't brag to him about defeating the famous enemy. It seemed that she was really anxious.

Batman doesn't intend to take care of this matter. He wants to carry out his plan to behead the gangster first.

...

Cash was not invited into the police station because everyone was very busy and had no time to entertain the returning hero.

But Commissioner Gordon still came to him in person and sent someone to take the crocodile man away.

"Kash, are you okay... What am I saying, you look terrible." Gordon saw Cash's empty sleeves at a glance.

"It's not that bad, Commissioner Gordon." Cash was very frank. "Miss V saved me."

"V?" Harvey, who was following Gordon, looked confused, but Gordon suddenly realized.

"The police department will compensate you for your injuries... What about the kids? And... what about Mike?"

"It's a long story about the child, but don't worry... But, Mike? He hasn't come back yet?" Cash was surprised.

Mike was the partner who went into the sewer with him to rescue the children, and the one who kept screaming after Cash was thrown into the waterfall by the Alligator Man.

"He's not with you?" Gordon's expression became serious.

Things are getting more complicated.
