Bruce and Selina stood facing each other, forming a seemingly intimate, but actually subtly opposed position.

Facing Bruce's superficial smile and calm eyes, Selina was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed: "How did you find out?"

She didn't try to hide anything, and in an instant, Bruce found that her temperament had changed dramatically.If what he saw just now was a gentle and soft girl, then now, she is a very charming and aggressive wild cat.

It didn't feel right for Selina's age, but Bruce just had a weird feeling that it was the real her.

"Your plan was too hasty." Bruce looked at her and said, "If the three men didn't make me suspicious at the beginning, then the drama between you and a few men would have to make me suspicious of the scene in front of me." Authenticity—they're such a coincidence."

"Just after I beat three men to the ground, I heard a girl calling for help soon? According to the thinking of a normal person, of course he would go and have a look, and I was no exception."

"Oh, but the fact is always full of coincidences, maybe you didn't realize it, but it happened just like that." Selina's narrowed eyes wandered for a while, as if she was ironic, and then she looked at Bruce again: "Gotham has always been like this, especially crimes have become fashionable recently, so it's not surprising that you happened to meet one of them, right?"

"So I didn't expose you in the first place." Bruce said: "After that, you took me to another place and told me that more people would come soon, which gave me a sense of urgency and no time to think about what was wrong. place."

"But unfortunately, I happen to be very calm. And you clearly said that you happened to pass by here, and they don't seem to know you. Why do you know the identities of those people?"

"...Maybe I just happened to meet them once."

"Such an explanation is too far-fetched, ma'am." Bruce raised his chin slightly: "And I, I don't believe there are so many coincidences in this world."

"You are such an unlikable guy." Selina shook her head and folded her hands on her chest: "Who would be friends with someone like you? He's probably going to die of exhaustion."

...I think I'm pretty considerate of my friends, Bruce thought.

Then he went on: "The only thing I wonder is why a woman like you would work with them."

on his

In terms of observation, Selina is the kind of woman who has a strong sense of self, is proud, and refuses to give in to others.But according to Bruce, she and several men are obviously in an equal cooperative relationship, and due to age and gender reasons, she may suffer a little disadvantage at certain times.

"Oh dear," Selina sighed, "sometimes you have to give something to survive in a place like this." Besides, she has a bunch of cats and a few little girls to take care of.

"Maybe you have other options. I know there are some places that require people like you to work. Although they are not formal, they are safe." Bruce couldn't help but say.He always had a good impression of this kind of self-reliant women, like the Wonder Woman he had seen in another world, like the Selina in front of him.

Selina raised her eyebrows and looked at him in surprise: "Are you trying to persuade me to leave here?" She shook her head helplessly as if she had heard some childish joke: "You are so funny, cutie .”

After finishing speaking, she kicked her legs and stepped over to the low roof beside her lightly. She looked down at Bruce and raised her red lips: "Goodbye, Mr. Malone. I look forward to seeing you next time."

Bruce watched her lightly go away, and had no intention of chasing her.Firstly, the purpose of his return to the East District is to collect information, and he must leave here before [-]:[-] p.m., chasing Selina is not worth the gain; secondly,...

Who is cutie!

Bruce thought about Selina's face, reconfirmed that he must be older than her, and couldn't help being a little speechless.

He shook his head a little funny, identified the direction, and walked to the side road where he just came.

After that, Bruce sneaked into the tavern and got a lot of news.

It's pretty easy to be honest.Due to the recent epidemic of crimes, people's conversations are several times more than before. Almost as long as he sits in a tavern, there will be a steady stream of information reaching his ears, not to mention that he intends to have sex with a few people. chat.

Filtering out the overblown and the unbelievable sounds, Bruce's trip has been very rewarding.

But for some reason, he always had a faint feeling that something was wrong.No, it didn't feel like it was coming to him, but what was it...?

Bruce starts thinking about the things he's heard today.

Bart Joyce, who used to be a drug/drug dealer, was pressured to switch to a bar as a bouncer. In the past few days, he has returned to his old job and left the bar to buy goods elsewhere.

Crane Gary, killed before reaching adulthood

Extraordinary, he was imprisoned for several years. After he was released recently, someone saw him in a dark alley in the Eastern District, and he didn't know where he went.

Jody Murphy, the second-in-command of a certain gang, has been doing badly since Erberist "appeared", kept clamoring for a big fight, and then completely disappeared.

and also……

If you have to say that there is something in common, it is that these people are all "disappeared".

But where will they go?

Bruce stared at the glass of beer in front of him, lost in thought.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, as if thinking of something, he immediately stood up.Bruce quickly glanced around at the staff in the tavern, then stopped staying any longer, left here resolutely after paying, and walked out.

He should have thought of it earlier.

Bruce hurried on the road with a slightly gloomy expression.

It has been more than half a month since the argument that Erberist is an urban legend has become popular on a large scale, and the criminals who have been suppressed should have been impatient to commit crimes, but in fact so far, Gotham City has also There's just been a few petty crimes that didn't scale. What about the real, large-scale incidents?

None.

They must be brewing something. Although there is too little information for Bruce to deduce specific events, it is completely conceivable that this must be a carnival of blood and flames.And just in these two days, they won't wait too long.

In order to avoid being followed, Bruce deliberately made several detours, walking between dark alleys and bustling streets, while keeping an eye on his back while thinking about how to solve this matter.

Of course, it is impossible to rely on him alone. Notifying the police is a way. Although most of the police are very corrupt, there are always some people, such as Jim Gordon, who are fighting for the light.And if the police chief wants to keep his seat and the mayor wants to be re-elected, it is impossible to let these villains make trouble at this juncture.

If it doesn't work, using the Wayne family to put pressure on the government is also a feasible method, but if it is not necessary, Bruce doesn't want to bring his family to this cusp.It's just that if the situation is too bad, he can only choose to do so. I believe Thomas can fully understand and support it.

Thinking about it again, it would be a good idea to inform Erberist, but unfortunately he didn't have a party to contact him——no, that's not right.

Bruce's footsteps suddenly stopped.

As one of the few people who have ever met Erberist, Bruce certainly knows that he exists and is hidden in Gotham

In the shadow of the world, the dark forces that rule Gotham subtly.

Would Erberist, then, have allowed all this, and the criminals' carnival, to do nothing?

Almost the moment Bruce thought of this, several cars roared past on the street, and several black objects that seemed harmless to humans and animals were thrown out of the car windows, rolling backwards along the inertia, still There were a few light bounces on the road.

That is……!

Bruce realized what it was right away, turned around and yelled at the people around him, "Run, it's a bomb!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of an explosion suddenly came from a distance, sweeping through everyone's eardrums like thunder.

"what--!!"

"Help!"

"Run, run!"

Apparently the few years of comfort did not make the people of Gotham, who have been in dire straits, forget their instinct to escape. Bruce pushed a lady in high heels into the store, closed the door behind him, and the bomb on the roadside exploded the next moment. Yes, the shock wave shattered the glass of the window, and the falling debris reflected Bruce's angry eyes.

When this wave of explosions came to an end, Bruce immediately opened the door and walked out.

The woman whose life he had just saved asked loudly, "Where are you going, kid? It's not safe outside!"

Bruce doesn't look back, or even slow down.He said in a deep voice, "Go and save those in need."

He walked on the road, and there were bloody people and dilapidated buildings everywhere that were affected by the explosion.Some of Thomas' teachings helped him, and Bruce stanched the bleeding of several people who were bleeding profusely, helping the rushing rescuers to free those who had been crushed under the rubble.

He helped as he walked along, looking quite unique among the uniformly dressed rescuers.

Some rescuers saw that he was not very old, so they couldn't help saying: "My child, this place is very dangerous. You should go home quickly."

"No," Bruce said, "I can."

These people have nothing to do with him at all, and his current identity is not Bruce Wayne, but an unknown gangster, and doing these things is not good for him at all.But for some reason, Bruce didn't have the idea of ​​"I can get out of here" at all.

It seems that just thinking about it for a while is not allowed, and it seems to defile something.

But Bruce does have other thoughts on his mind.

He thought, why didn't he realize what was going on sooner?If he notified the police in advance, then no

There will be so many injuries.Crying and groaning circling in his mind, the little girl was holding a broken doll, crying alone on the street looking for her mother, and her mother may be crushed by the ruins in some unknown corner, Dying, or dead.

Chaotic self-blame and guilt filled his chest, and Bruce realized very clearly that everything that happened, all the people who were injured because of this, they were all implicated by himself.

The author has something to say: Sometimes I feel that the master suffers from the syndrome of "no matter what happens, it must be my fault"

But it's not! ! (groundhog screams)
