Ordinary occupations create plot bugs

In the bustling avenue, there are colorful neon lights, pop music is playing everywhere in the street, and the street is indeed empty.

Correspondingly, the places where the lights do not shine are the places with the most people.

In the dirty alleys, the small potholes on the ground were filled with rainwater mixed with some other liquids, muddy garbage was everywhere, and mice squatted arrogantly in the sun without any appearance of fear.

Women in scantily clad clothes leaned against the mottled wall, smoking a cigarette, looking at every passing man who might become a potential customer, and many men and women kissed and caressed in the shadows.

This is the chaotic slum of Gotham, where drug trafficking and street standing are the norm.It is also a place frequented by criminals.

In this way, they are no different from criminals. They have to come out to try their luck at night when the crime rate is extremely high for a few poor steel coins or hard black bread.

On a dangerous Gotham night, a teen is pushed out of the house.

"If you don't have the money to pay the rent, get out, idiot."

Accompanied by women's sharp insults, the young man in a white shirt was pushed out of the dilapidated door by an obese middle-aged woman.

The young man staggered and nearly fell down, but his lower body was unexpectedly stable, and after a little commotion, he still stabilized.

The young man rubbed his slender arms, and couldn't help but complain in his heart that the fat woman's hands were so strong.

Immediately afterwards, the black canvas bag was smashed out of the door and hit the young man. The young man opened the bag and saw that it was some of his clothes.

"Hey, my..." The water glass was still inside.

Before the young man finished speaking with a British accent, the door slammed shut in front of him, and the wind from the door closing belt gave the young man the illusion of hitting his nose.

He rubbed his nose, put his canvas bag on his back, and walked out of the place where he lived for two months with a normal expression, facing the curious eyes of the neighbors who were looking out, or watching the show.

Here, this kind of drama of being evicted by the landlord for not being able to pay the rent happens almost every week.

It's just that he was the one who was kicked out this time.

He straightened his back and walked past them without looking sideways, ignoring the middle fingers thrown at them, and mocking insulting words, these people would not feel bored watching the same drama every week.

People are like this, even if they live in the lowest class, they will subconsciously compare themselves, crowd out and laugh at those who have encountered unfortunate things around them, so as to comfort and satisfy their humble and pitiful heart.

At least let him show his backbone at this time, which makes those people feel uncomfortable.

What they want to watch is Reservoir Dogs, but they are not the kind of people who can show them the excitement.

After walking down the stairs, the originally cowardly expression of the young man changed instantly. His complexion became gloomy. Unlike most Americans with sea-colored eyes, the young man has a pair of amber eyes, which look more like warm golden under the sun. .

The facial features are also different from those of Americans. Youth have the facial features of Asians.Asians are easily discriminated against, even in the extremely modern 21st century America, where various superheroes emerge in endlessly, this phenomenon still exists.

Especially in Gotham, where the weak eat the strong.

When the young man walked past the distribution box, he stretched out an arm quickly, and a small white card shot out from his fingertips. No one knew where he hid the card.

The piece of paper cut off the wires inside through the gap of the rusty distribution box, and the sound of crackling electric current sounded, only then was the piece of paper burned to ashes like a normal soft piece of paper.

The moment the power was cut off, the voices of tenants scolding the landlord came from upstairs.

The young man showed a smile, shook his shoulders and left here.

The young man's name is Si Xing, which is his real name, but now he is called Asa Carter, which is the name on the false certificate issued when he first came here.

When he was very young, he was trafficked and sold as a handyman on a British international travel ship. He was often bullied but his life was decent.

Later, it was found in the United States that the ship had a record of transshipment of drug transactions with various countries.

After the ship was discontinued, there was no place for those who were not too young to go. Most of the children who were also sold on the ship were taken away by the nuns of the orphanage because they were still young, and a small number of children who were not too old or young were taken away by themselves. Find a way to survive in the United States.

They are too old to join the orphanage, the orphanage doesn't need to eat much and won't be adopted rice bugs who can't contribute anything to the orphanage and just add unnecessary burden.

For society, they are too young, no shop is willing to hire them, because it is against the law.

Employing child labor is illegal no matter which country you live in.

So this small part can only be obtained through some 'abnormal' channels to survive in this capitalist American society.

Unfortunately, Si Xing is one of the small number.

Si Xing was the youngest among the companions who got on and off the ship together. Originally, the nuns in an orphanage saw him as young and cute, and were willing to let him come to the orphanage.

But Si Xing refused, because a brother who took good care of him on the ship told him that he would live better with him, so Si Xing became that small group of people.

The place where they wandered at first was Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is a very crazy city, where evil breeds under the dazzling neon lights.

Under capitalism, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer.

They came to Los Angeles with their whims, and their original, small portion of stashed savings and the very small portion of supplies that the American police were willing to let them take off the ship.

And then they're stuck here, they have nowhere to go, and they don't even have enough money to rent a hotel for a day, so they can only go to Skid Row (the slums of Los Angeles).

The slums are usually distributed next to the bus station, which becomes especially dangerous at night.

At first they didn't know that the danger would come at night, and they didn't understand why the refugees who also lived in the slums were so vigilant at night.

Si Xing still remembers that on the first night, everyone was very excited. They took a deck of Texas Hold'em from the boat and played until very late until they couldn't keep their eyelids closed anymore.

The next morning.

Their belongings were looted, including money, tents, some daily necessities and shoes.

During the day, they can only step on glass shards and stones with bare feet against the indifferent and numb eyes of the people living in the surrounding tents.

Even a wound infection is helpless, the body will always get used to it.

The most important thing is the mental one, which makes you constantly worry about whether there is danger around you.

It is difficult for a person to maintain a good attitude when he is not full, has no quilt, and is tired. Once you have such thoughts, you will only become more and more depraved and difficult to turn over.

If there is a warm environment, who doesn't want to succeed through their own efforts?

They are eventually socialized to rob and steal.

In the slums, as long as it is a woman, or a man with a good-looking face, it is extremely easy to be violated. Of course, others can pay to turn rape into joint rape.

The most important thing is to get money that can buy bread to fill your stomach.

Si Xing grew his hair very long when he was homeless, and with that soft Asian face, he looked like a girl.

The partners who were on the ship and those who met in Los Angeles wanted to sell him, but the 'big brother' who took care of him since childhood naturally disagreed.

It was also at that time that Si Xing awakened his ability.

During the period when he first awakened, his ability was unstable, and many people had seen him use his ability. Coupled with the anti-mutant speech and tendency in society, he was basically on the run every day.

I hide in alleys during the day, and only come out at 3 or 4 in the middle of the night to find some food.Later, after learning to control, he began to use his ability to turn his body into pieces of paper to steal some small things.

During that period of time, it also caused panic in an area, because the guy who stole did not leave any evidence of his whereabouts, making everyone mistakenly think that it was some kind of spirit stealing or something.

Professor Charles, the principal of Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth, came to him, hoping that he could go to Xavier Academy for admission.

Si Xing refused without much hesitation.A person like him is used to danger, he won't get used to the carefree college life.

In addition, if he went to the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth, he would definitely be excluded as a criminal, so it would be better to live freely.

Later, Si Xing went to Gotham, and heard that it was the most suitable city for criminals to live in.

Sixing stole a lot of things through his ability and then resold them at low prices. First, it was cash and watches from ordinary people, and later it was jewelry and accessories from noble families in Gotham.

This is Gotham, and the last thing Gotham lacks is criminals.

And these high-class people who eat the most expensive bread and drink hand-made coffee don't care about the loss of a little jewelry at all, right?

Si Xing's stealing skills became more proficient and bolder.And with his special abilities, he will never be caught by the incompetent police of GCPD.

Why are these people so incompetent?

No matter who it is, it is impossible to catch him with such incompetence, which is why those notorious criminals can always escape from the Arkham Asylum.

Even if Batman catches them again and again, if the supervision is not strong enough, they can escape quickly.

At that time, Sixing earned his reputation as the origami thief. He transformed into a paper crane and easily took all kinds of precious gems from the security organs, and arrogantly left a small paper crane instead of the original one. gems.

At the same time, he also found a new business opportunity, which is to sell gems to collectors in the gray area of ​​Gotham.

They are willing to pay a large price for the acquisition, but Sixing has always been cautious in doing things. If there are hundreds of thousands more in his account, it will definitely attract Batman's attention, so he only charges a small amount of compensation.

And proudly euphemistically called: doing charity.

So almost everyone in the gray area of ​​Gotham automatically assumes that the origami thief is a very rich guy.

Like Oswald, he may belong to the four major families or something.

In fact, no one knew that Origami God was kicked out by the rent aunt because he was poor and couldn't pay the rent.

Si Xing has always stopped in moderation, money is desire, and only restraint can he go for a long time.This is also a warning to Si Xing from the death of 'Big Brother'.

Si Xing has always known that if Batman wants to clean up himself, there is no way for him to escape.

It wasn't that he couldn't pay the rent, but that the old landlady had been unhappy with him for a long time, probably because he had witnessed the old landlady dating other men behind her husband's back, so she tried to drive him away on purpose.

Even if you don't have any plans to meddle in other people's affairs and inform others, you must kill the grass and roots.Therefore, the landlord's old woman came to him two days in advance of the normal rent collection day this month to ask for the rent and increased the rent by 50.00%.

And Si Xing has always used as much as he has, and today he really can't come up with that money.

The gems obtained by Sihang were either sold to the black market or returned, as if mocking GCPD and the incompetence of the entire Gotham.

The origami thief doesn't care about money and is just playing with you, this is the impression GCPD has of him.

Si Xing gave his partner——

Catwoman, who was barely a partner, typed a text message to indicate that she might be staying at her house tonight.

Catwoman said that she is used to it and said as usual that it's okay if you sleep on the sofa.

Catwoman holds some of the gems for collection. Occasionally, Sixing’s customers are also Catwoman. They will act together to steal gems, and Catwoman will give him some rewards.

Catwoman is a very scheming woman, at least half of what she says cannot be believed, Si Xing can't see through her, and has always been wary of Catwoman.

But in all fairness, Catwoman is a very generous woman and often helps him out.

Walking through the dirty alleys with more than a dozen women standing on the street, they all knew that they were renters who had been evicted from upstairs and had no money or had dragged their faces for a few days, so no one asked if they needed special services.

Occasionally, two of them expressed their willingness to spend a night with him, probably because they fell in love with his pretty face.

Si Xing shook his head and walked quickly out of the alleyway. When he reached a place where he could no longer see any acquaintances, his originally straight waist immediately hunched down.

His indifferent expression instantly collapsed, the corners of his mouth curled up, and the hair on his forehead that fell along with his lowered head blocked part of his tired eyes.

Si was walking on the road, and in the silent night, there was nothing else to be heard except the sound of the wind and gunshots from far away.

Gotham's nights are very dangerous, and few idlers come out to hang out.

Because you don't know if you'll run into Gotham's criminal prince or the dark knight Batman as you walk along.

For example, if a girl is asked out by a boy to play at night, it is probably not far from breaking up. Does he want me to die by asking me out in the middle of the night?

So in a way like this, Gotham nights are safe.

After all, that kind of big man can't be seen at will.
