Chapter 33 (1/2)

Gordon's consciousness finally returned to his body. He could feel the light and the temperature of the fireplace.

But his heart was like a cold winter, everything was frozen, no sunshine, no hope.

Falcone gently patted him on the shoulder and comforted him like an elder: ”Gordon, my good Gordon, everything is over, everything will be ok... You lost two wives and your own children for this city, you are just a little tired.”

”Tired... Yes, I'm tired...” Gordon lowered his head and shivered slightly.

”No, Gordon, it's not time for you to rest. The new Gotham hasn't been built. You can't rest. Only you can save it. You promised me.”

Falcone hugged him hard, and the thin old man almost lifted him from the sofa.

Gordon looked at Falcone in a daze. He couldn't remember what he had promised him. His mind was like a pot boiling. His mind was full of thoughts. It was like thinking lost contact with each other.

”I, yes, I promised you...” he replied confused.

”Yes, you promised to have a better Gotham, a Gotham that makes everyone happy. This is our city, and we all hope it will be better.”

”Child... Child!” Gordon hugged his head in pain again.

Falcone reassured him again, patting him on the back: ”it's all over, it's over, you're going to have a new wife. When new Gotham is rebuilt, I will marry you and Sophia, and then hand over the falconey family to you, and I will leave in applause... You will have new children, new cities, and live happily. ”

With that, he looked expectantly at Sophia, as if asking for her advice.

”Yes, father, it's up to you.”

She still had that false smile, just like the polite expression of a medieval lady to deal with others, and answered him with the voice of her good girl, as if it had never changed.

”Come on, Gordon, kiss my ring, accept my promise, and we will be a family from now on, for a better Gotham!”

Falcone grinned and held out his right hand to Gordon. On his ring finger was a delicate gold ring engraved with the family emblem rose.

But Gordon, who was unconscious, still stopped looking at the ring, as it had been more than a decade ago.

on the outskirts of Indian mountain, Su Ming and his wife have been sitting in the TV station's car for an hour. The time has exceeded 4 o'clock, but there is only the sound of wind and rain around.

Endless rain falls from the sky and is twisted into a water dragon by the strong wind. It seems that they can always get into their cars from an incredible angle and take away the heat of their bodies from the small cracks.

It was dark in the car. He and Cindy were sitting in the dark cab, each holding a bottle of beer that had just arrived, monitoring the movement outside.

In the supermarket before, Su Ming told Cindy everything about the multiverse, also told her the plan of the main agent behind the scenes, and said some other conjectures.

The reason is that she is the only person Su Ming can trust. Before he left here, he felt that he should leave enough information so that Cindy could continue to live.

He didn't know whether his decision was right or not, and whether it would cause butterfly effect or more serious consequences, but he just did what a partner should do.

Although they only knew each other for six hours, it was only a temporary combination, but their similarity and tacit understanding made them seem to have known each other for a long time.

Indeed, for a long time, Su Ming only came to this world for six and a half hours. Six hours is almost all his new life.
