"Today, my share of the money is also included in the cost of buying a computer."

Albert took Freddy's new smartphone, put on his thick jacket and walked out of the back door of the ring.

It gets dark very quickly in Gotham in the autumn, and the clouds have already turned gray before five o'clock.

But it wasn't much clear during the day anyway.

The lights in theaters, bars, and shopping malls across the street also lit up, and the colorful neon lights exuded brilliant colors.

Men in suits and bejeweled women walk through the lights, looking magnificent.

"The police issued a notice this afternoon saying that last night's truck accident was a bad robbery. Gotham declared a state of martial law and is hunting for wanted criminals throughout the city. I would like to ask a scientist from the Criminal Investigation Department to explain to us the specific situation..."

As soon as Albert opened the browser, a video popped up. A young policeman was explaining into the microphone. The video was posted two hours ago.

After glancing at it without paying attention, he began to search for information about this world.

Slowly type "superman" on the screen and the browser starts loading.

...

...

...

First up was a video of a strongman lifting weights, "The Real Superman," followed closely by messages from various extreme athletes.

After flipping through a few pages, Albert never saw the Son of Krypton. He only saw someone claiming in an interview on the Metropolis News website that a man in a red cloak had rescued their pet.

It seems Kal-El's identity has not yet been revealed to the public, and Albert continues his search.

Green Lantern, Atlantis, Wonder Woman, Black Adam, The Flash...

There is no trace of any of the heroes, only a few clues.

The Justice Society, the earliest superhero group in human history, never appeared.

Bruce Wayne, Albert then searched

...

...

...

"The youngest family heir, tragedy..."

The first thing that popped up was a report from more than ten years ago.

“Thomas Wayne and his wife were shot dead in an alley!”

After checking all the information he knew, Albert finally determined that this was a world where heroes had not yet appeared.

Although some claimed to see green lights flying over the city at night and red capes tenderly rescuing small animals from trees, no superhero has officially appeared.

"Chi--"

Albert looked up, and saw several small black animals running past in fright, and the sewage splashed everywhere.

Unknowingly, he had walked through a block, which was the alley behind "White Night".

Taking a breath, Albert sniffed.

Sewage flowed across the alley, and the stench was overwhelming. Only the decorative lights outside the walls barely illuminated the dusty walls and moss at the base of the walls.

A wall separates two worlds.

"Ding Lingling, welcome!"

At the corner not far away, a tall man in black hood walked into a convenience store.

"Ding Lingling, welcome!"

Albert pushed open the convenience store door.

The small shops that dare to open after dark in Gotham are like the highest level of protected animals. Most of them are endangered or extinct.

After all, no one can stand frequent zero-dollar purchases.

Not to mention that this place is already in a remote location, with very few pedestrians, and the entire city is still under martial law.

"Hello, have you ever..."

Albert realized halfway through that there was no clerk at the counter, so he could only start looking along the shelves.

He wanted to see if there were any Chinese condiments and kitchen utensils.

He didn't know how long it had been in Morpheus' dream kingdom, and in addition to the past few days in Gotham, he felt that he hadn't tasted a familiar taste for a long time.

"Ding Lingling, welcome."

"Ta-ta, ta-ta."

It was the sound of high heels, which disappeared only after reaching the counter.

"Yesterday's money was given to the sisterhood. I don't know why those gangsters are so crazy these days. I heard it was just for a few birds!"

Albert was deeply impressed by this voice, after all, it cost three hundred dollars.

"Ma'am, I think you took something yesterday that didn't belong to you...oh sorry!"

The aisle was very narrow, and Albert accidentally bumped into the hooded man in front of the freezer.

The man just looked up expressionlessly.

The moment he passed by, Albert clearly saw something on the other person's face and his hair was gray.

"Ding Lingling, welcome light... Bang!"

Before Albert could step out from behind the shelves, a loud shotgun blast came from the door, accompanied by the sound of breaking glass.

Several unmasked gangsters crowded at the door. The leader was holding a shotgun, with a knife on his waist, and the remaining sticks and long knives.

Behind the counter, the girl who took his money yesterday was wearing work clothes and holding up her mobile phone, and the black cat was lying on the counter.

"Don't get excited, guys,"

The girl didn't look panicked, but slowly approached the smoking gun barrel.

"I'm just a clerk. The key to the counter is here."

The girl's entire upper body was pressed against her, trying to show off her voluptuous curves, and her fingers were hooked around the keys.

But Albert saw a bit of nervousness in her eyes.

Her mouth was attached to the gangster's ear. The gangster looked a little overwhelmed, and the barrel of the gun seemed to be drooping.

"But I hate you violent bastards the most!"

Before she finished speaking, she reached out with her left hand, grabbed the dagger from the gangster's waist, and stabbed it hard into the chest.

"boom!"

But before she could pull out the knife, the follower who noticed something was wrong stepped forward and hit the girl on the head with a long stick.

The girl's whole body fell towards the counter, the merchandise fell to the floor, and the tag on her chest also fell to the ground.

"Selina Kyle"

Albert could see the words on the badge clearly.

The gangster who had been stabbed finally reacted, but it seemed that he was not seriously injured. He turned the butt of his gun upside down and hit the girl's upper body. The remaining people began to rush into the store and smashed the shelves one by one.

The butt of the gun was about to fall on the girl. The gangster with a knife stuck in his chest suddenly felt a strong wind behind him.

All he saw was a blur in front of his eyes, as a foot wearing leather boots kept enlarging in his eyes, and finally landed on the half-inserted hilt of the knife.

He flew out completely and smashed the glass door into pieces.

Before the rest of the people could realize what was happening, Albert picked up the shotgun.

"boom!"

The gangster closest to him was thrown sideways and fell to the ground with blood pouring from his chest.

Seeing this, the remaining people crowded towards the door like crazy. One of the people inside was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, watching a stream of warm liquid flow out of his crotch.

Selina, who was lying on the counter with a visibly swollen face, didn't know what happened. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Albert blowing away the gangster on the right with a shotgun.

"Three hundred dollars."

Albert shook a large bag of things he picked towards Selina, walked around the body at the door and walked out.

"Ding Lingling, thank you for coming!"
