In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 782: Fatal Joke (9)

"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

It was completely dark, and Bruce, who had been driving for a day, was a little distracted, and now he just wanted to go back to that rental house and have a good sleep, but it turns out that in Gotham, every day is not going to be good .

As soon as he got home and sat on the sofa, he heard a noise from outside the door, and someone knocked on the door "bang bang bang". Bruce came to the door vigilantly, listening to the movement outside.

After a while, a man's voice came: "Open the door! Open the door quickly! I am the landlord, open the door quickly!"

Bruce didn't intend to step forward to open the door at all, but soon, the door was opened from the outside, and it was not broken violently, but opened with a key.

A gloomy man stood outside. He looked at Bruce and said, "Who are you? Where is the original tenant?"

"I'm Selena's boyfriend..."

"I don't care what your relationship is. My house is only rented to trustworthy people. Strangers get out!" the landlord said loudly.

"But the rent is not due..."

"I don't care about the rent!" The landlord raised his voice and said, "Whoever I rent to, he can live in it. Anyone I don't rent, get out!"

Bruce can see that the landlord actually wants to take back the house and rent it out again, charging two rents. Facing such an arrogant and unreasonable person, he doesn't intend to reason. He directly raised the gun in his hand .

The landlord stared at him and said, "Don't think that you are the only one with a gun. No one can break the rules here. If you don't leave quickly, just wait for me."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, Bruce stood by the door and looked at him with a bad feeling.

Back to the room, Bruce, who was tired all day, was sleepy. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he heard a slight noise in the room.

He woke up in an instant, touched the gun beside him, took the gun and came to the living room, and found someone was opening the window, he looked intently, it was the drunk man he had seen before.

He tiptoed to rummage on the sofa, and when Bruce's gun barrel hit his head, he hurriedly dodged, muttering indistinctly, but because of the effect of alcohol, Couldn't say a complete sentence at all.

Bruce pointed the gun at him and made him run out the door **** on his ass, and then Bruce put the gun down, ready to go back and rest.

But after a while, there was another noise outside, and Bruce had to get up again, and then he found out that it was another thief.

Drive the thief away again, Bruce knows that he has been targeted, maybe the landlord spread the news, telling them that there is a rich stranger here, during this night, Bruce was caught by the thief Visited four times.

The balcony door has a lock, but it can't prevent these thieves at all. Here, after all, it's just a slum apartment, not a well-equipped bat cave. Without preparation in advance, Batman can only come and fight one by one. Good preventive measure.

Bruce had to sleep on the sofa in the living room all night. When he woke up in the morning, he found that his neck was twisted. What he held in his arms was not the soft quilt, but the gun, and he knew that yesterday He frightened off at least two more thieves that night.

After getting up, Bruce planned to go downstairs to buy a hot dog to make do with it, but in the stairwell downstairs, he met the Asian woman, and the fat lady said to him in a low voice: "You better go, Huh The husband has released the news that he will not stop the nearby thieves from entering your room..."

Under the explanation of the Asian lady, Bruce knew that this apartment was not owned by one person, but the middle-level members of a gang jointly bought the building, and then each divided into an area, which can decide Who are you going to rent the room here to?

At the same time, they will warn the thieves around them not to come here to patronize, otherwise they will be expelled by the gangsters, but if they encounter difficult tenants, they will also specifically ask the thieves to harass them until they let that person Can't stand moving so far.

Generally speaking, the landlord will not show up, drive the tenant out before the lease term expires, and collect the rent repeatedly, because in this case, the tenant's gang may be offended, and it may also hurt himself Reputation, so that others will no longer choose to rent in this area where they are.

However, before renting a house, they will also clarify that changing tenants is not allowed, and second renting is not allowed, because if it is allowed, it will be difficult to judge whether the people who come later are safe. Everyone in the building will be unlucky together.

The landlord does not know who Bruce is, nor does he know whether there is a dangerous soul hidden under his appearance. In order to prevent himself, his tenants and his building from being unlucky, he claims that he will no longer be responsible for this room. The tenant provided shelter, and specifically said that Bruce was a rich man.

As a result, in the next two days, countless thieves visited this room non-stop. Bruce worked all day during the day and guarded against thieves at night.

Besides, he is only one person, and there are countless thieves. Even if they don't come in, they just knock on the window outside, which is enough to keep Bruce awake all night.

Moreover, Bruce found that the landlord was gradually losing patience. The last few people who came, each carried a long gun. If Bruce hadn't reacted quickly and pointed the gun at them first, he might have suffered.

Bruce found that he couldn't stay here anymore, so he didn't intend to continue to entangle with the landlord.

This is the so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake. Even if he can defeat one landlord, he cannot defeat all the landlords here, let alone the gang that the landlord belongs to.

More importantly, even if he can defeat all these people, what about the tenants here? Without the protection of landlords and gangsters, these people will never be able to survive.

Bruce decided to leave, but he didn't know where to rent a house. Fortunately, he had spent so many days in the East District, and he had a little idea. He found the head waiter of the restaurant where he worked before, and asked him to help introduce him. .

The foreman is very optimistic about Bruce, but regarding this matter, he also shook his head, he said: "If you rent a house in the East District, you must be introduced by an acquaintance, otherwise no landlord will trust you to live in it."

"If you live in his house and kill people, make explosions, or do those illegal businesses, then he and the gangsters on his head may be unlucky. If no one introduces you, you may only go to the canned The area is fine."

"The canning section? Where's that?" Bruce asked.

The foreman pointed and said, "Follow this, and walk about 3 kilometers outside, you can see a garbage dump, on the south side of the garbage dump, which is the side near the sea, you can see a large garbage dump. A pile of houses built with tin sheets is the canning area.”

"The people there will pick up construction waste that is not needed in the city, such as bricks and iron sheets, and build houses for themselves. It looks like canned food from a distance, so it is called the canned food area."

The foreman sighed and said: "I advise you, don't go there. Many people get in and can't get out."

"Can't get out? Why?" Bruce asked.

The foreman shook his head and didn't speak any more, but Bruce decided to take a look at the canning area, because the foreman's description reminded him of the place where the little girl lived before.

At that time, the little girl lived in a dilapidated shed made of iron sheets at the end of an alley, which was already the bottom line of Bruce's imaginary construction.

But when he came to the canning area, he realized that what he thought was still too simple.

The place where the little girl lived had at least three walls, but the roof and door were made of sheet metal, but in the canning area, all the houses were made of sheet metal and construction waste.

This is located in the south of Gotham's East Side, where the garbage dump is located, and where most of the factory sewage pipes are located. In Gotham, where every inch of land is expensive, the reason why this place has not been used by developers is because here It's actually a shoal.

The soil quality here is not good. If you want to build a foundation, you have to reclaim the sea first. The cost is too high, so it was abandoned, but it became the home of another group of people.

When Bruce walked in, he found that most of the people hiding in these waste dumps were the elderly, the disabled and the seriously ill.

Of course there are some like him who come here temporarily to make do because they can't rent a house without an introduction from an acquaintance.

Bruce found a metal house, no one lived there, and the people in his house seemed to be floating population. Bruce didn't know where the owner of this house went, but he knew that there was a place to live tonight.

It is not very accurate to say that it is a house. One wall of this house is a broken wall panel with a right angle triangle, and there are steel bars inside. It looks like waste from the demolition of apartment buildings in the city. The other wall is a Metal balcony doors without glass, covered with plastic sheeting.

Two walls form a triangular space, and some wooden boards and glove boxes are stacked outside as doors. It is a bit too retro for a house, and a bit too avant-garde for a tent.

Standing on the beach, Bruce looked into the distance. He found that this is not a residential area, but a cemetery. As far as he could see~IndoMTL.com~, he saw three dead people lying in the iron house .

Walking on the beach with one deep foot and one shallow foot, Bruce realized that the rain boots he bought were cheated not only in price, but also in quality. When it was on, it always leaked water inside, and after a while, Bruce's feet were freezing cold.

The cold began to creep up from his feet, and Bruce knew that he had to warm up quickly, or he would die of hypothermia like the little girl.

There is a lot of wood here, but there is no way to make a fire. It has been thrown on the beach for too long, and the moisture has invaded the interior. Materials that are too wet cannot be ignited, but there is nothing dry here, including clothes. .

As the night fell and the temperature became lower and lower, Bruce felt more and more cold, squatting in the tin house, he felt like a piece of meat in a can, cold from head to toe.

Bruce originally thought this was the limit, until when he was moving the floor of the house, he saw a human skeleton in the gap.

Now, he knows where the owner of this house has gone.

If it was the previous Batman, he would have lifted the floor off and performed an on-the-spot analysis of the cause of death, but now, Bruce has silently covered the floor back, and even found a piece of fabric to cover the gaps. Plugged, not because of fear, but because of the cold.

After waking up the next day, Bruce found that he had a cold.

Headache, cough, weakness, Bruce feels bad, he just wants to lie down all day now.

This flying bat is not gentle at all, sometimes too stubborn, but what matches him is that Gotham has never had a good night, only a cold night.
