When night comes, the sky is overcast and the north wind is howling It always reminds some people of a time.
It's not too far in the past. Here, it's a city full of corruption.
At that time, officials and gangs were brothers, while the police were the criminal's umbrella The whole Gotham is like a gloomy and cold concrete forest. At night, the streets will be full of low or sad roars As if it never stops.
But those have become the past At least on the surface.
…………
Late, 7:30, Gotham "east side.".
Three years ago, the east side was a terrible place, so to speak It's the worst part of Gotham.
If you think the ruffians at the gate of Robinson park are bad, it's because you haven't seen the half begging and half robbing addicts in front of the finger Memorial. If you think the addicts are bad, it's because you haven't seen the tramps lying on the ground like stranded dead fish at the gate of the sprang rescue station.
However, compared with the situation in the East, these people are already "passable".
The eastern district was a red light district that even corrupt police wouldn't easily step into. There are blue nosed and bruised Orioles everywhere in the street (for these women, it's a common thing to be beaten by pimps), and even young prostitutes; violent and crazy gangsters dare to commit crimes in front of the public, and people around them will ignore them as if they haven't seen them.
Even today, three years later, with the above-mentioned situation converging, it is still the district with the highest crime rate in Gotham.
Cheap bars, cheap hotels, cheap apartments, cheap shops Everything here is cheap; it's the "cheap" that keeps people at the bottom of Gotham alive.
But "existence" and "life" are different. Poverty is the inducement of crime, which is the eternal truth.
Therefore, this "cheap" place has naturally become the last gray area of Gotham.
…………
"Whoo This is the air in the slums... " When I stepped into this place, I consciously inhaled the turbid air into my lungs, looked up at the neon street, and said with some emotion, "although it doesn't smell good, it can make people feel stable from the heart..."
Of course, he knew that the east side would have to come to find the clues of the "super villains".
However, he didn't go straight to Gotham as soon as he stepped into the city Before coming to the east side, Feng didn't realize that he had gone to another two places.
The first is a Research Institute on the edge of the city under the name of a pharmaceutical company.
It's not far from the sewer exit that brother Jue passed when he entered the city. He basically went in by the way.
As a person who has a good understanding of various plots of DC Universe, of course, I know that "mister'u freeze" works in this company; such villains who once had serious work are easy to find
It's not too much trouble to sneak into the facilities of such a private enterprise. It seems to brother Jue that it's just like finding things In the tool room, he got a cleaner's one-piece coat and put it on himself. He sneaked into the office area. Soon, he found the person he was looking for in the lounge on the second floor, the cryologist Victor Frith.
After talking with himself and several colleagues, Feng could not feel that he soon got the following information - it is obvious that Frith of the universe 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 settings known to him, it happened that Soon after the disease was diagnosed, Wayne's R & D department developed a specific drug to cure the disease, so Frith's wife was saved, and his family and work are now stable.
After collecting these information, the hidden task progress is up to 3 / 10, indicating that the whereabouts of the frozen people have been found out.
Then he went to the second place Gotham University.
If sneaking into private enterprise facilities is to get things out of the bag, then sneaking into a place like college is the same as sniffing for shit for brother Jue. He spent 20 minutes to find one of his goals on campus Pamela Lilian Ashley, known as "poison'u Ivy".
Pamela of the universe was not chosen by the botanist Jason wood, who died in a fire several years ago, and whose research materials were burned with him.
That is to say, the man who should have used Pamela is dead, and the plant toxin that makes Pamela mutate has never been invented.
In the library, Feng pretended to be a student talking with Pamela for a while, and then he got the above information. Naturally, he was misunderstood as a non talkative and not very clever accost.
Chueh Ge ended the conversation before the other side's attitude became cold and the atmosphere became awkward. With his 4 / 10 task schedule, he went to find another goal at Gotham University - Jonathan Klein, aka Scarecrow.
I'm curious about the reason why the scarecrow didn't go black, because the role is basically due to the bullying of various kinds in the student's time, and it gradually goes to extremes It's not because of an emergency that I experienced as an adult.
As a result, after chatting with the psychology professor of Gotham University in the canteen for more than half an hour, Jue finally came up with the answers in a roundabout way - the boys who bullied Jonathan in those years, and the girls who refused and teased him All of them suffered a mountain disaster in a classmate's travel many years later. When police found their bodies, many people had been eaten by the wild animals in the mountain and left with clothes.
And our Jonathan In other words, this gentleman, who was supposed to be a scarecrow, didn't go to the party because his school days were like hell, he had no feelings with these students So I was lucky to escape.
After that incident, Jonathan's mind changed a lot, as if some of his heart knot had been untied Of course, it can also be said that it is a "big revenge, God has eyes" mentality.
In any case, the reason why the scarecrow didn't blacken is that After hearing this, the task schedule of Feng unconsciously was updated to 5 / 10.
…………
When he left Gotham University, it was already dusk and dusk. He felt that the time was almost over, so he rushed to his third stop, the east area.
"Hey! Are you blind? " When Feng unconsciously stood on the road and stopped for a long look, suddenly, someone hit him heavily with his shoulder and said such a sentence first.
Brother Jue is familiar with this routine Anyway, it's just a matter of bumping porcelain.
I don't realize that I'm not polite to ordinary people, but to people who obviously want to do something That attitude is conceivable.
"Ha?" The next second, Chueh GE's bad youth tune went online. He turned his head, squinted at the man who had just passed by, and said, "are you talking to me?"
"Nonsense!" That's a bald man. He was shirtless even in cold weather. There were many tattoos on his torso. Almost no good skin could be found under his neck. "You are not blind Are you fucking deaf? "
The moment he said that, he was kicked in the body.
Then, instinctively covering his crotch, he knelt down
"Ha? What do you say? I still can't hear... " Feng didn't realize that it was very sudden that the foot lifted the Yin leg. After the kick, he still looked as if nothing had happened. The tone of his voice seemed to be an old man with the back of his ear Speak up again. "
"You You... " The bald man wants to scold, but the sharp pain in the egg makes him only squeeze out a few words. He also wants to stand up and hit people, but before the sharp pain is relieved I'm afraid he'll have to keep his legs together for a while.
"Come back to me when you can speak quickly." Feng unconsciously looked at each other with his commanding eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and left such a sentence casually. Then he turned around and left.
He knows that this gangster will catch up with him and revenge himself later, and he will probably call some accomplices And that's exactly what he's looking forward to.
