Miao Mu lay on the hospital bed, and Ms. Tompkins used a crochet needle to sew up the wound on Miao Mu's back.

The sharp curved hook needle tip pierces the skin and pulls the black thread like sewing clothes, stitching the torn skin together.

The pain from the needles made Miaomu grab the bed sheet and grimace in unbearable pain. The wound was so big that it almost went through his entire back.

"Ma'am, can you give me an injection of anesthesia?" Miao Mu clutched the bed sheet and begged for mercy.

The respectful title for Leslie Tompkins is Madam, and even the homeless on the street know her.

But Naegi knew something else. Ms. Tompkins was a classmate of Thomas Wayne and the biological father of Batman Bruce Wayne.

Both of them were highly skilled doctors, but unfortunately Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha died in Crime Alley.

At that time, Bruce Wayne's psychological treatment was done by Ms. Tompkins, who was one of the few people who knew Batman's true identity.

This is also the place where Batman often visits for treatment. After all, there are some injuries that Alfred is helpless to treat, as his young master is really too troublesome.

"It's a waste of anesthetic for a thick-skinned little bastard like you. Just bear with it. There are still thirty injections. If it hurts, there's a magazine under the bed that can distract you."

Ms. Tompkins rejected Miao Mu's request, picked up the hemostatic forceps, clamped the damaged skin and pulled it a little to make the wound fit more perfectly before stitching it up.

The sour and painful feeling made Miaomu's anus tighten and his face twisted. Damn... so exciting!

Miaogi reached out from under the bed and took out the "Pain Relief" magazine, but when he took a look, he found out it was Playboy, the largest H-magazine in the United States. It was really... a diversion.

He reached out and flipped through two pages. He had no idea when this book was published. The color pictures had all been blurred into mosaics. Miaomu put the magazine back, not being able to appreciate it at all.

"Who sent me here?"

Naegi distracted himself and tried to change the subject. This place... couldn't be the police, otherwise he would be lying in Gotham Central Hospital now.

"It's the little guy Oswald, the one you play well with. Oh, and there's another little guy waiting at the door, and he's worried about you."

Ms. Tompkins continued sewing and said with a slight smile that given her age, it would be no problem for her to call Miaomu and the others "little guys."

When he heard it was Oswald, the Penguin, Miaomu understood. Indeed, that guy also lived in the Upper East Side and was a very prestigious little boss.

Hiss... Miaomu thought about it and felt that he still owed him 20,000 yuan. Now that he had some extra money, he could pay him back.

After raiding Maroni's two territories, they made at least over 200,000 yuan. It really felt like they were taking advantage of someone's misfortune and were very proud of it.

In other words, seedlings have their own bottom line. If they are placed with others, not only will they take the money, but they will also eat up the "goods".

As for the "goods" sent to the evidence department, they might also be stolen and sold. This kind of operation is already a common occurrence in Gotham.

The pain in his back made Miaomu frown. His thoughts became unstable, but he didn't dare to shout out loud. Jason was outside, and he couldn't let his majestic aura fall!

"Who is that little guy to you? He seems to be very close to you. He's still waiting outside. Don't you want to meet him?"

Ms. Tompkins said distractedly as she adjusted the hook needle, touching her skin with her fingertips, calculating the angle of the stitch.

"My adopted godson looks a lot like me."

Miao Mu smiled with a bitter smile, and Ms. Tompkins gave him the needle directly. Miao Mu gritted his teeth and inhaled with a hiss. It hurt!

"Indeed... quite similar." Ms. Tompkins smiled. She remembered what Naegi and the others looked like when they were children.

Jerry and Naegi had a fight outside and ran over here when they were injured. He was a gangster causing trouble everywhere at that time, but now he has become a policeman. Well... that's not bad.

"Are you going to be his godfather?" Ms. Tompkins asked.

"It's better than wandering the streets. Even though I can't teach him anything, at least... I'm responsible!"

Miao Mu frowned and smiled, he was not Batman, his bottom line was not that high, if Jason asked him to choose between him and the Joker.

Then...the clown's head could be crushed by Naegi.

"How about this, ma'am, you ask him to go out and have some food first. It's evening now, the child is hungry, you can stop for a while, I'm not in a hurry!"

Miao Mu couldn't help it anymore, so he found a topic and asked Tompkins to go find Jason so that he could also take some time off because the pain was unbearable.

"Really?" Ms. Tompkins asked, pausing.

Naegi nodded quickly.

Ms. Tompkins put down her crochet hook, turned around and walked out. Naegi also breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The frosted glass door of the operating room was pushed open, and Jason stood at the door somewhat awkwardly. To be honest, the sound insulation in this place was very poor.

"Okay, let's go eat first. This is what he gave me."

Ms. Tompkins took out two bills from her white coat, handed them to Jason, and asked him to go out for dinner.

As for the rest, they are medical expenses.

Jason took the money and walked out in a daze, not knowing what was going on in his mind...

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already lost.

It was pitch black all around, with only old houses of similar style, and not even a light could be seen.

"Where am I?"

Jason was a little panicked. He was thinking about other things and didn't pay attention to the situation around him, but he reacted quickly.

Return along the same route!

When he walked near a house, Jason heard crying. In such a dark place, surrounded by dilapidated old houses, it was still eerie, and now there was suddenly crying...

Even though Jason was brave, he was still frightened. He leaned against the wooden fence and looked towards the place where the crying came from.

Is it in the house?

Jason tilted his head to look over there, then looked left and right. Curiosity overwhelmed his fear of the unknown, and he walked over quietly.

Leaning on the window and looking inside, Jason grabbed a stone in disgust and picked up the cat feces on the windowsill.

"Jack...what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

There is someone talking in the room, a woman? Who is Jack?

Jason looked inside with a question mark in his head. A small candle was lit on the table inside.

A pregnant woman was sitting on a chair, her belly was big, her hair was blonde, but her face looked a little tired.

On her legs, there was a man crying with his head in his hands. His crying was very sad and unpleasant to hear, like a duck with its neck strangled.

No wonder Jason thought of ghosts when he heard the crying. Maybe there was a quarrel at home? Jason thought.

But I still looked at that woman, or more precisely, at the belly that was pregnant with the baby. They were a family...

Jason felt a little envious, and then he remembered what Miaomu said, and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Jenny, I failed. I messed up everything. My jokes didn't make those people laugh. I was fired from the theater. No theater wanted me..."

The man named Jack looked up sadly, tears streaming down his face with an ugly smile on his face.

This is a man who has just experienced failure.

"It's okay, baby. It's going to be fine." The woman named Jenny stroked his back and comforted him.

"No…Jenny, you married a loser."

"My dear, that's not..."

"This is the truth. I can't support you, Jenny. What should we do? What should our children do?"

"It's okay. The baby won't be born within three months. Mrs. Burgess will extend our lease. She sympathizes with me and it will pass."

"No, she hates me! Every time I come back, she comes out and glares at me. This house and the surroundings are polluted by cat feces and the stench of those old people. I must take you away before the baby is born!"

Jack sat on the ground, as if to solidify his thoughts.

"I just want enough money so we can move to a nicer neighborhood. Those women on the street make that much in a weekend and they don't have to tell jokes."

"Dear, don't worry, don't worry about anything, I still love you, you know? Whether you have a job or not, even if you are fired, it's great."

Jenny smiled and said, "Look, you at least know how to make me laugh. Don't be so serious, dear. Smile."

Jack tried hard to smile, but the bitterness of life prevented him from smiling. He propped his mouth with his fingers and pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides, revealing a smile.

Looking at the scene in the room, Jason left quietly, but he still didn't know how to get out.

Maybe I should ask someone...

But the surroundings are just like what the man said, except for wild cats and snoring elderly people, there is nothing to see...

"Meow~" A cat ran quickly past the wall.

After a while, another cat ran by, and they both went in the same direction, and another cat ran in that direction.

Jason thought about it and followed. The surrounding houses had changed and no longer had that eerie feeling.

There are more and more houses with lights on around, and there are more and more cats too. There must be hundreds of them, right?

To be honest, this was the first time Jason saw so many cats. They were lying on both sides of the road, as if they were waiting for something.

The door next to him was pushed open, and a girl carrying a large basin came out. She was chewing gum, put the basin casually on the ground, and blew a big bubble.

Poof, the bubble was blown, the girl chewed the gum back, looked at Jason who was surrounded by cats, and asked curiously.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

"I, I want to know where the hospital is? It's a very kind old lady's hospital."

Jason said awkwardly. He didn't know where that was. He didn't pay attention...

"Oh, you're talking about Ms. Tompkins. She's over there! Just keep walking." The girl casually stretched out her hand and pointed to the east.

"Thank you!"

Jason looked at the direction she pointed and ran over quickly. The cats around him and the girl holding the cat in her arms all watched him leave.

"Holly, who are you talking to?"

A gorgeous woman wearing a black tight leather jacket came out of the house carrying two bags of cat food.

"A stupid boy who took the wrong path got lost here."
