Chapter 123

"You’re first!"

As the coin was tossed and fell.

Tails.

Without hesitation, Harvey raised his hand and shot Batman.

Bang!!

Right in the abdomen!

Accompanied by the massive impact, Batman fell to the ground.

In a flash!

All the viewers were stunned!

No one had expected.

Harvey would be so decisive and unhesitating in shooting!

And Batman didn't even dodge! He let the bullet hit him!

Although he was wearing the Bat-suit...

But who knew if it could block it??

And in this second.

Too many things happened inexplicably!

Harvey suddenly agreed to Batman’s proposal! He was no longer targeting Gordon’s family! Instead, he was resolving it among the three of them!

[Holy crap... what is going on?!]

[He didn't even dodge when he was shot?!]

[This... is too decisive, right??]

[If it’s the three who have to take responsibility... then he should count himself too, right??]

[How did Batman convince him???]

[Holy crap! That’s fierce! Taking a bullet head-on!]

[He has armor, how can he be the same as Harvey and Gordon??]

And while they were talking.

Harvey made everyone’s heart tighten again.

He raised the gun and pressed it directly against his own temple! He raised an eyebrow at Gordon, as if saying goodbye.

"My turn."

And this second shot at himself.

Was to show fairness while also giving himself a reason to let Gordon go!

Ding~

Accompanied by the light sound of the coin, it landed in his palm.

Heads.

Harvey sighed, his left hand touched the child’s head.

He slowly lowered the gun that had been pressed against his temple.

And Gordon was startled by the action of the other man touching the child’s head.

He said in a pleading voice.

"Harvey, you’re right!"

"Rachel’s death is my fault."

"But please don't punish my son!"

"Please punish me instead!"

Facing Gordon’s pleas.

Harvey was not moved at all, and replied coldly.

"I will."

"Tell your son he’ll be fine, Gordon!"

"Lie to him!"

"Just like the lie I told Rachel!"

And at this point!

Harvey revealed his true purpose once again!

Until now.

He still wanted to punish Gordon!

He wanted to punish Gordon in the same tragic way as Rachel!

To make Gordon comfort his son that he would be fine.

And then kill his son!

To let both of them taste the most desperate pain that Rachel and Harvey had felt that night!

This... was Harvey’s thought at the moment!

[Ah... is Harvey still going to punish Gordon?!]

[Is this method of punishment... too cruel?!]

[This is the only way to make the other person feel what he felt!]

[Why did he get agitated at the end?]

[Maybe it’s because of the coin he tossed... he already gave Gordon a chance; as long as Harvey himself died, it wouldn't affect Gordon.]

[Sigh... it’s a pity Harvey’s own coin was heads!]

[Even he sighed himself!]

[It shows that Harvey’s own will was actually not to hurt Gordon, but he couldn't help but think of Rachel!]

And under the tense gaze of the viewers.

Gordon also spoke tremblingly to his son.

"You’ll be fine, son!"

Tears slid down the corners of his eyes.

Clearly, in this emotional moment, Gordon couldn't control his expression.

He did owe Harvey a lot, both professionally and personally!

And following Gordon’s comfort.

Harvey tossed the coin in his hand.

Without the slightest hesitation.

And this coin!

Was the coin that represented the fate of Gordon and his son!

Life was tied only to luck!

This was also Harvey’s way of letting fate judge Gordon!

All the viewers were staring tightly at the screen!

Gordon even stopped breathing! Watching the coin trace a beautiful arc in mid-air! And then slowly fall!

I updated twelve chapters yesterday! Continuing to explode today! I’m not living anymore! Let’s all roll until we die!!

[So nervous...]

[This directly decides the fate of the Gordon family!!]

[Isn't this too unfair... just by tossing a coin?]

[Rachel was also blown up unfairly like this back then!]

[The culprit is still the Joker!]

[........................]

[But Harvey doesn't know that! He just simply thinks the Joker is a tool!]

[How desperate must Gordon be at this moment!! This is his first time crying!]

[Gordon’s heart skipped a beat~!]

[Enough with the memes!! You made me laugh again!!-]

Countless viewers were staring nervously at the screen!

As long as the result of this coin was tails.

Then no matter who Harvey shot.

The future life of the Gordon family would be ruined!

No matter who sacrificed.

It would become a pain that could never be erased from Gordon’s heart!

And on the judges' panel.

Zhang Laomou couldn't help but feel deeply moved by Harvey using a coin to decide the fate of the Gordon family.

"Actually, isn't Harvey himself a coin."

"He believes in the fairness of the law, and also believes that an ideal social model exists. He is both the hope of the people of Gotham City and the hope and successor of Batman. He and Batman have an interdependent relationship; otherwise, Batman, as the Dark Knight, could not have swept away half of the mobsters through the law in one day. At this time, Harvey is the heads side of the coin, a White Knight. But facing the death of his confidante Rachel, his faith collapsed completely, turning from a White Knight into 'Two-Face,' choosing to go in the opposite direction of Batman. At this time, he is the tails side of the coin. He uses the coin to decide the revenge on the accomplices who kidnapped him and Rachel, becoming a person who stops at nothing to achieve his goals, just like the Joker."

"Harvey’s character image, like ordinary people, has no firm belief; when shaken by external interference, he will head toward the abyss."

"But even so, until now! Harvey still worships Batman! He sees him as the hope of Gotham!"

"Just now, Harvey shot at Batman’s abdomen, and the other party was wearing armor."

"Almost anyone would know that Batman couldn't possibly die from this shot! This shot was purely Harvey’s insignificant venting!"

"But when it was his turn, the muzzle was pressed against his own head!"

"Perhaps at that moment, Harvey had already lost all desire to live! He chose to end his life in this way, and at the same time, let Gordon go!"

Under Zhang Laomou’s analysis.

More and more viewers felt Harvey’s tragedy....

His life, his faith.

All fell into the abyss!

The root cause of this was not entirely the Joker’s fault!

It was human nature that gave this final push!

And at this moment!

In the scene!

A black shadow suddenly appeared!

It instantly knocked the gun-wielding Harvey away!

It was none other than Batman, who had just been shot!

Thud!!

A muffled sound!

As Batman lunged at Harvey! Gordon’s son was also sent flying!

And behind the three of them!

Was the empty, unprotected edge of the platform!

"Ah!!"

Under the scream of Gordon’s wife!

Gordon rushed to the edge of the platform to look!

And at this moment!

The coin fell to the ground.

It was a perfectly intact head!

Heads!

It seemed to be the meaning symbolized by heads!

The camera cut!

Batman grabbed a protruding piece of rebar and used all his strength to lift Gordon’s son up!

But in the end!

He himself fell from the building due to exhaustion!

The direction of the fall!

On the ground where he fell!

Harvey’s body was already lying there!

At this moment, the two of them.

Like tacit partners.

Fell together, lay down together.

...Please give flowers...

"Dad, Dad, is he okay?!"

Following the anxious call of Gordon’s son.

Gordon also arrived downstairs.

Looking at the two who had no reaction.

He quickly took out his phone to call for reinforcements.

But a hand suddenly grabbed the phone.

It was Batman, who had fallen, as he slowly stood up.

He let out a painful sigh as he struggled.

Clearly, he had also fallen quite hard.

"Thank you."

Gordon said sincerely.

"You don't have to thank me."

"I have to."

Gordon panted, looking at Harvey’s corpse on the ground.

"The Joker won."

"Harvey’s lawsuits, everything he fought for."

"All for nothing."

"You gave us hope to rebuild the city, and it disappeared with Harvey’s disgrace."

"We placed all our hope in him."

"But the Joker twisted a good man into a bad one."

"People will lose hope."

Gordon said in a low voice.

Looking at Harvey’s corpse, he was somewhat hopeless.

And Batman’s face was also somewhat gray.

Just as he said.
