In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 280: Gotham play house (middle)

"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Soon, the circus performance began. The first few programs were animal taming programs. Neither Bruce nor Selena had any interest in this kind of program. Offstage chat.

"You said you were a hawker before, so why didn't you continue to do it, but steal things instead?"

Selena rolled her eyes and said, "My young master, don't you think being a peddler is better than stealing?"

Bruce turned his head to look at Selena. He originally wanted to say that at least being a peddler is not illegal, but after being in contact with Selena for so long, he also knows that the life at the bottom of Gotham may not be what he thought. .

Having been with Selena for so long, he has come to realize the reality. In the dark city of Gotham, some people have already exhausted their energy just to survive. What kind of discipline should I talk to them about at this time? Law-abiding is tantamount to a joke.

"Actually, those peddlers, cigarette boys and flower girls are the worst." Selena sighed, with a little sympathy in her tone, she said: "When I told you about my experience before, You might think that the lucky mom who taught me how to steal is a bad person. She taught me how to steal and beat me up, but in fact, I don't hate her, and I still talk to her on the phone... "

Bruce showed a puzzled expression, and he asked, "Do you still have contact with that thief?"

"We don't talk about any business matters. We just ask her if she is well. It's just some polite words. Although I was a little angry that she wanted to take away the diamond necklace I stole, but later , after my anger subsided, I still called her..."

Seeing Bruce's slightly shocked expression, Selena suddenly smiled, and she said, "You are Master Wayne, you are always supported by people everywhere you go, and everyone can humble you in order to get you to give me money." I came to please you, but I am different, the most praise I have received in my life is when I followed my lucky mother to learn art."

"She always said that I was the most gifted kid she had ever seen, and I learned everything very quickly. You know, when she was young, she worked as a hostess in a bar in the East Side, and she could praise people to the sky with one mouth Go, when she is in a good mood, she even sings and asks me to dance in the dress she wore when she was young..."

Selena put her hands on her knees, took a deep breath, and said, "I know you think I'm worthless, but she's really good to me."

"You may think that it is a heinous crime for her to find all kinds of children to help her steal things, but in fact, Lucky Mom has already counted on these children."

"Her vision is very vicious, and the children she picks out are very talented and can make a lot of money for her. Therefore, her hands are relatively loose, and occasionally she will give us two pocket money..."

"But the old villain next door is different. He has some peddlers and tobacco boys under his command. These children have to hand over all their daily income to him, and they have to be searched every day. It is absolutely not allowed to hide a piece of paper. Divide the money, and if he fails to achieve the goals he set, he will be severely beaten."

"He only gave those children leftovers, and told them to starve when they were in a bad mood. I once saw a child who wanted to run, but he cut off his feet and bled to death. Already."

Selena shrugged and said to Bruce: "Actually, I'm not hungry at all, and I don't really like pancakes and cheese, but when I meet this kind of vendor, as long as I have some money in my pocket, I will buy something. This may allow them to have a full meal tonight."

"You know what?" Bruce looked into Selena's eyes and said, "Every time you tell me a story like this, it makes my heart feel heavy."

Selena showed a smile, she reached out and touched Bruce's cheek, and said, "That's the problem, it's a sad story for you, but it's nothing ordinary for us." daily life."

Selena took another deep breath and said, "Actually, you have taught me a lot, such as the context you talked about last time..."

"I think about it, I seem to have heard that Lucky Mom said that part of the money she got must be handed over, and the person she handed in must also be handed in. Anyway, they handed in layer by layer, and finally handed in one In the hands of..."

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is that?"

Selena shook her head and said, "I don't even know Lucky Mom's boss, so how do I know who the final one is?"

"There's someone running Gotham's kids, right?"

Selena nodded and said: "In fact, the children in Gotham are very easy to control. Most of these children are orphans. Their parents either died or were abandoned by their parents. Just give them a bite to eat." , you can drive them at will.”

"And..." Bruce received: "It's almost impossible for anyone to embarrass these children, even those high-end nightclubs will let those smokers go in to sell cigarettes..."

Obviously, he recalled the occasions he had entered for the first time. In the past, he didn't care about it because he was used to it, but now in retrospect, whether it was a dance, a dinner or a banquet, there were some children waiting at the edge of the venue , Waiting for some rich people to buy cigarettes from them.

"That's it, if these kids mess something up, or make some mistakes, they just need to put on a pitiful look and apologize, and beg for mercy a few times, and no one who cares about face will embarrass them .”

Bruce didn't expect that chatting with Selena would give him an unexpected harvest. There has always been a person in Gotham who uses layers of networks to control these children everywhere.

"It's more than that." Selena continued: "These children will also form gangs, which has been the case since my time, and the competition among peers is especially fierce."

"You also know that some areas are doing very well, while others are not. There are gangs, we call these gangs the 'Youth Gang'."

"Then what gang did you join at that time?"

Selena shook her head and said, "I don't participate in any gang, it's all on the ground, and I'm a snitch."

"I don't need to occupy any territory to steal things. In other words, if I want to go to someone's territory, I don't need to say hello to them. They can't catch me anyway."

"Everyone in the East District has heard of my name, until now, and they all know that when the black cat on the eaves is haunting, don't even think about aiming with a gun, because you can't hit her at all, it's just a waste Bullet."

"Among the four major snitches in the East District, only I have the ability to travel to and from the entire Gotham, while the others dare not even enter the commercial street, because once they are caught by those prominent gang leaders, they will be finished, and But I'm not afraid, because I know that they can't catch me."

Whenever he heard Selena talking about his career, Bruce felt a little strange. It is impossible to get to where it is today.

This kind of life experience of turning over and living a good life by relying on her own efforts should be very inspirational and honorable, but she is a thief by profession.

The two have been chatting about the children in Gotham. Selena's low-level intelligence and Bruce's top-level intelligence are combined, and the two deduce who is the person who controls the network.

During the period, Aisha's attention was always attracted by the various performances on the stage, and she calmed down rarely.

Suddenly, the lights on the stage brightened, and the host said in a high-pitched voice: "Ladies! Gentlemen! Next, we will present the most exciting show for you—the trapeze show!!!"

Two actors, a man and a woman, stepped onto the stage. As they climbed up the ladder, the host was still trying to introduce: "I think, some people may have heard of the Grayson family that was once famous on the east coast. They used to be known as the greatest family of trapeze performers in the United States..."

"Some people may have heard that members of the previous generation of the Grayson family fell from a high altitude because of a mistake in the trapeze performance, and fell to pieces..."

The host blew a whistle and said, "But let me tell you, that's the thrill of this kind of show, who would want to watch it if there's no danger of falling off? You're right?"

The host's witty remarks were intended to stir up the atmosphere, but the tall man named Grayson who had just stepped onto the stage clenched his fists.

Just as he was about to start performing, he shouted to the audience: "Grayson is the greatest family of trapeze performers, we..."

At this time, he saw that the owner of the circus under the stage made a threatening gesture to him. He turned his head and glanced at his wife next to him, and finally closed his mouth.

The owner of the circus cursed loudly: "What is this idiot talking about?! It's Wayne down there! I said he'd spoil my good work, son of a bitch!"

At this time, the Graysons had already started their performance. The so-called trapeze was actually swinging around in the air while holding a crossbar, making various twists and rolls.

I have to say that the Graysons are indeed very good. They cooperate with each other tacitly, whether it is the same or symmetrical movements, they are all pleasing to the eye, and the audience burst into applause.

Elsa was very happy watching. After all, even if Selena is highly skilled, the manor has limited conditions after all, and Bruce would not agree with Selena swinging around at such a high place~IndoMTL.com~But the current performance But it satisfies Aisha's hobby of watching people's activities.

She yelled sharply and kept waving her hands on the stage. Bruce hugged her to prevent her from falling into the front seat. Selena patted Bruce's arm and said, "Give her some water." Well, I heard her voice is hoarse."

Bruce took out the water bottle and was about to give Elsa a drink of water. The movements of the two trapeze people on the stage happened to be in the middle of the performance. Aisha.

The lady looked a bit haggard, but she still smiled back and waved to Aisha. Obviously, this little audience who was a little too excited was very popular with Mrs. Grayson.

Seeing that she was noticed, Aisha became even more excited, and she rushed forward, trying to get out of Bruce's arms.

But at this time, Bruce was unscrewing the water bottle, and Aisha's forward movement hit him on the arm, causing the water in the water bottle to spill all over him.

Bruce showed a helpless expression, handed Aisha to Selena and said, "I'll go to the bathroom to get rid of the clothes."

Just as Bruce left the seat and went to the bathroom, all this was seen by the owner of the circus.

That Grayson contradicted him first, and even punched him, but then said some crazy things before the performance, and that Grayson's wife deliberately tried to attract the attention of the little princess of the Wayne family, causing Wayne to take the water If he is dissatisfied with spilling it on his body, his sponsorship will be ruined...

The face of the circus owner became more and more gloomy, obviously his anger had reached its peak, and the performance of the Graysons made him almost mad.
