Thriller Paradise Chapter 1284: Say my name (9)
There will be nights in the "bright" Gotham City.
Whenever night falls, the hazy sky and the whistling north wind... always remind some people of a time.
In the not-too-distant past, here is still a sinful city full of corruption.
At that time, officials and gangs called brothers and brothers, and the police were the umbrellas for criminals... The whole Gotham was like a grim and cold concrete forest. At night, the streets would be filled with low or sad roars... As if never ending.
But those are all in the past...at least, on the surface it looks like this.
…………
Late, 7:30, Gotham "East Side".
Three years ago, the East Side was a terrible place. It can also be said...the worst place in Gotham.
If you think the ruffians at the entrance of Robinson Park are terrible, it’s because you haven’t seen the half-begging and half-grabbing addicts in front of the Finger Memorial Hall. If you think these addicts are terrible, it’s because of you. I haven't seen the homeless people lying on the floor with stranded dead fish at the door of Splun's rescue station.
However, compared with the situation in the Eastern District, these people are already considered "passable."
The Eastern District back then was a red-light district that even corrupt policemen were reluctant to set foot in. On the street, there are swollen warblers (for these women, being beaten by pimps is common) and even young prostitutes; fierce and crazy gangsters dare to commit crimes in full view, while the people around will seem to have not seen it. The same is not indifferent to it.
Even today, three years later, under the premise that the above-mentioned situation has been reduced, this is still the jurisdiction with the highest crime rate in Gotham.
Cheap bars, cheap hotels, cheap apartments, cheap shops... everything here is cheap; it is this "cheap" that allows those who live at the bottom of Gotham to survive.
But "survival" and "life" are different. Poverty is a very easy incentive for crime. This is an eternal truth.
Therefore, this "cheap" place has naturally become the last gray area of Gotham.

"Huh...this is the air in the slum area..." Feng Bujue stepped into this place, consciously inhaling the muddy air into his lungs, and looking up at the neon flashing streets, feeling a little bit emotional Di Nian said, "Although it smells bad, it makes people feel at ease in the heart..."
Of course he knew that to find clues to those "super villains", this East Side must come.
However, he didn't go straight here as soon as he stepped into downtown Gotham... Before coming to the East Side, Feng Bujue went to two other places.
The first place is a research institute under the name of a pharmaceutical company on the edge of the city.
It was not far from the exit of the sewer that Brother Jue passed through when he entered the city. He basically went in along the way.
As a person who knows the various plots of the DC universe quite well, of course Feng Bujue knows that "Mister_Freeze" works in this company; like this kind of villain who has had a serious job, In fact, they are all easy to find...
Sneaking into the facilities of such a private enterprise is not too much trouble. From Jue Ge's point of view, it’s like trying to get something... He got a cleaner’s one-piece jacket in the tool room and put it on himself, mixed into the office area, not long. , I found the person he was looking for in the lounge on the second floor-cryologist "Victor Fries".
After talking with himself and several of his colleagues, Feng Bujue quickly grasped the following information-Fries in this universe obviously did not become cold-blooded due to the experimental accident, and his wife did not die; Although his wife still had a serious degenerative disease as well as the setting known to Brother Jue, it happened that... Soon after the disease was diagnosed, the R&D department of Wayne Group developed a cure for this kind of disease. The cure for the disease, Fries’s wife was saved, and his family and work are also very stable now.
After collecting this information, Feng Bujue's hidden task progress has reached 3/10, indicating that the whereabouts of Frozen Man has been found out.
Next, he went to the second place... Gotham University.
If sneaking into private enterprise facilities is to search for things, then for Jue brother, to sneak into a place like university is the same as to search for nose and excrement; it took him 20 minutes to find his goal on the campus One-Pamela Lillian Asley, known as "Poison_Ivy".
Pamela of this universe was not selected by botanist Jason Wood as the test subject, because that Jason Wood was killed in a fire a few years ago, and his research data is also related to him We were burned together.
In other words, the person who was supposed to use Pamela has already died, and the phytotoxin that caused Pamela to mutate has never been invented.
In the library, Feng Bujue pretended to be a student and talked with Pamela for a while, and then he got the above information, and he was naturally misunderstood as a speechless, not very clever accostor By.
Brother Jue ended this conversation before the other party's attitude gradually became colder and the atmosphere became awkward. With his 4/10 task progress, he went to find another target who was also in Gotham University— —Jonathan Klein, AKA...Scarecro.
Feng Bujue is also very curious about the reason why the Scarecrow is not blackened, because this character is basically due to all kinds of bullying in the school days and then slowly going to extremes...not because of something experienced in adulthood. Only after emergencies have been blackened.
As a result, after chatting with the psychology professor of Gotham University for more than half an hour in the cafeteria, Jue finally came up with the answer in a roundabout way—the boys who bullied Jonathan back then, and refused and teased His girls...all suffered a mountain disaster during a classmate trip many years later. When the police found their bodies, many people had been eaten by the beasts in the mountains and left only their clothes.
And our Jonathan...or this gentleman who was supposed to be a scarecrow, because he lived like a **** in his school days and had no affection with this group of classmates, he didn't go to that party at all... so he escaped fortunately. Robbery.
After that incident, Jonathan’s temperament has changed a lot, as if some of his knots have been untied...Of course, it can also be said to be a kind of "great revenge, God has eyes "The mentality.
In any case, the reason why the Scarecrow hasn't been blackened is roughly like this... After inquiring about this, Feng Bujue's task progress has also been updated to 5/10.
…………
When I left Gotham University, it was sun set, and Jue felt that the time was almost too~IndoMTL.com~ So he rushed to his third stop-the East Side.
"Hey! Are you blind?" Just as Feng Bujue stood on the road and stopped to look far away, suddenly, someone hit him hard with his shoulder and said such a sentence first.
This kind of routine, I feel that brother is very familiar...Anyway, it's not just touching porcelain or finding fault.
Feng Bujue is not necessarily polite to ordinary people, to such people who obviously want to make trouble...that attitude can be imagined.
"Huh?" In the next second, Brother Jue's bad juvenile accent went online. He turned his head, squinted at the person who had just passed by, and said, "Are you talking to me?"
"Nonsense!" That was a bald man, who was shirtless in a very cold day. His torso was tattooed a lot, and there was almost no good piece of skin under his neck. "You are not only blind..." Are you **** deaf?"
The moment he finished saying this, his lower body was kicked.
Then he instinctively covered his crotch and knelt down...
"Huh? What are you talking about? I still can't hear..." Feng Bujue's yin legs came out very suddenly. After kicking, he appeared as if nothing had happened, and the tone of his speech seemed to be hard of the ear. Old man, "...you say it louder again."
"You...you..." The bald guy wanted to swear, but the intense pain caused him to squeeze out a few words. He also wanted to stand up and beat people, but the pain in that moment eased Before... he might have to keep the kneeling position with his legs together for a while.
"Come to me when you can speak neatly." Feng Bujue looked at the opponent with condescending eyes, shrugged, and left these words casually, then turned and left.
He knew that this **** would catch up to retaliate against him after a while, and it was very likely that he would call some accomplices... and this was exactly what he was looking forward to.
