I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 39 The Cat's Nest

After leaving Robert's apartment, Selena took Harry to a semi-abandoned building thinking she had just had surgery and needed a break.

Located on the edge of the city, there is no running water, gas, heating, or even electricity. It is almost a dangerous building waiting to be demolished.

Uh, it's more like an unfinished building left behind by a bankruptcy of a real estate company in China and the boss running away with money. The owner has spent his life savings, and even if it is unfinished, they can only move in.

In addition to Selena, Harry also saw lights flickering in other slums.

Walking on the corridor, I also saw many traces of life.

Selena's nest is a 20-square-meter single room with an old wooden door, bare and exposed concrete floors, and walls with peeling lime powder.

The window lost its entire frame and was barely blocked by a floor-to-ceiling plank.

The interior decoration is also very simple, a Simmons mattress, a dry battery cassette recorder, a pile of dirty clothes.

The stains on the edge of the mattress were polished and reflective, and the original color and pattern were covered by the jet black.

The lighting relies on a small table lamp in Gantianchi, and the room is groggy.

"Well, it's not as good as my carton hut." Harry sighed.

"I'm here to shelter from the rain and cold, as well as a security door, so I don't have to worry about being attacked when I'm asleep." Selena said reluctantly.

Then, there was a bit of sarcasm on her face, and she said with some self-deprecation: "Of course, you are the little queen!

What is considered a good bedroom for a homeless child like me is the most humble home you will ever see in your life. "

"You don't know my current situation? Don't say these weird things."

Harry lay down on the mattress, a strange stench filling his nose immediately.

The smell of sweat and feet is fermented for a long time to produce a musty smell, and then more than one perfume smell is mixed.

She wanted to sit up immediately and escape this terrifying place far away.

But Selena just now called her "little queen" with a gun and a stick. She really did that, and both of them were embarrassed to death.

"Are you still hungry?" Selena took out a few bags of snacks and threw them on the bed.

Before at Robert's house, she saw Harry gobbling down and eating all the takeaways for five people in one go. At the end, she rubbed her slightly bloated belly and said with emotion: "The boss is not sincere, the taste is average, even the weight. There are also some shortcomings.”

Sleeping in the kennel is already hard enough to eat in the kennel
Harry shook his head and smiled, "I'm going to bed, save it for tomorrow."

Selena kicked off her short boots, threw herself on the mattress, and muttered with wide eyes, "I usually sleep in the morning, go out for activities in the afternoon, and come back after breakfast."

"You—" Harry asked hesitantly, "how old are you?"

"Sixteen, almost 17 years old."

"When did you start wandering? Where are your parents?" Harry asked again.

"I don't know who my father is, my mother" Selena Yinpan's face showed melancholy, "I was born on Naihe Island, the poorest and most chaotic slum in Gotham. When she was nine years old, she ran away with some wild man. , I started wandering the streets."

"Nine years old, too young for the people at the child care center to ignore you?" Harry asked in surprise.

"They sent me to the children's home in the north state, trust me, it's worse than the St. John's Abbey you're in."

"No, it's worse than that magic cave? How could it be worse?" Harry looked suspicious.

Selena sneered, "You should have good food and housing, right? Otherwise, you won't despise my little family.

Your living conditions are good, and you have the best families to adopt children.

In the North State Orphanage, the case of sexual assault is nothing at all, but they eat food that pigs are unwilling to eat. Dozens of people squeeze into a small bedroom. The family who adopted us is also trying to deceive the government and government subsidies. fierce"

"So exaggerated?" Harry was a little shocked.

"I don't know about other states, but we are Gotham! Look at the bottom residents of Gotham, what are they like?

Orphanages will only be worse than them, not better, otherwise everyone will go to be orphans. "Selena said flatly.

"Makes sense." Harry was silent.

After a while, she asked softly, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Future." Selena's expression became dazed. "I don't know. Maybe, I will be a top pickpocket. When my skills improve, I will try to join Sister Yu's family first."

"Who is Sister Yu?" Harry asked curiously.

"Fish Mooney (fish, fish), Gotham's most famous female black state boss, she is a member of the Falcone family."

"You are from Gotham, don't you know her?" Selena asked in disbelief.

"I seem to have heard of it, but I didn't remember it in my heart. There are more than ten generals under Falcone, such as 'Russian' Nikola." Harry said.

She only remembered that her father was a loan shark from Nikola.

"Nikola and Sister Yu are both under Falcone's command, but they have the worst relationship." Selena said immediately.

"Is it too unpromising to be a gang member?" Harry asked hesitantly.

Selena smiled bitterly, "Are you really from Gotham?"

"I just moved here two years ago."

Selena said: "There are only three types of people in Gotham, the powerful, the black state and the common people. The powerful rule Gotham under the sun, the black state is the king of the underworld, and the common people are their common slaves.

If you've been on the streets for a while, you'll understand that being a cop is no better than being a gang member.

If you want to get ahead, you must either be a powerful person, or be a tycoon.

But the rich and powerful come from inheritance, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to enter it. Instead, it is a black state, with the most opportunities to get ahead, but the lowest requirements for birth. "

Harry didn't know what to say.

She fell asleep, but Selena touched her shoulder, "What are your plans?"

"I originally planned to be an athlete, but now." Harley shook her head. "First save my life, and then work hard to improve myself. When I become stronger, the enemy who once seemed formidable is nothing."

At ten defense, she can take a single shot and not die. At level 20, at 20 defense, can she be immune to small-caliber pistols?

Level 30, what about level 40?

Since you are on the street, try your best to grow up on the street!

Be a street fighter, fight with others and box every day. Those punks may have low attack power, but their maliciousness must be very high. After all, this is Gotham with outstanding people!

But Selena didn't understand her trump card and thoughts, and asked curiously, "Improve yourself, what do you want to do?"

"Uh, I don't know exactly what to do. You are an old bird, take me with you?" Harry said.

"I think you should try to restore your innocence and return to the world under the sun and spring rain." Selena said sincerely.

"There is no hope in a short period of time, and in terms of mentality and values, I can't go back.

Even if the police drop the charges against me one day, I won't be an athlete again. ' Harry sighed.

"Don't be an athlete, you go to study?"

"I'm at a loss now." Harley knew that she should work hard to upgrade, but she was full of uncertainty about her future career and her position in the golden age of superheroes.

Selena noticed that she was in a low mood, so she changed the topic and said, "Why did you let me pretend to be Clark, is he someone you hate?"

"If you don't kill that doctor, you can't show your true colors, and you can't let the people of the Holy Land Crusade know that you are with me.

I don't want to put you in danger.

As for Clark, it's just a mask to cover up your identity, it doesn't matter if it's Tom and Jerry. "

Harry didn't tell her the truth.

She didn't want it to be true that Selena was implicated, but "Clark" was not mentioned casually.

Clark Kent, what a man of steel!
Clearly, the power of the Crusaders of the Holy Land completely overwhelmed her.

In a head-to-head confrontation, Halle is definitely not an opponent, but the other party refuses to let her go easily.

How to break the game?

Improving her own strength is one thing. On the other hand, she can muddy the water and find an unmatched enemy for the Crusaders of the Holy Land.

What will happen to those church warriors who can only hold guns "biubiubiu" in the face of Superman?
Even if Superman never kills people, how will these believers of God feel after knowing the "God on Earth"?
Of course, it was an accident to meet Selena, and it was also Selena's inspiration to find Robert, to let Selena disguise as Clark, and even Harley's wild ideas. do not know.

The cost of doing it was very low anyway - she only had Selena disguised as a strong man named Clark, and her conversation with Selena never involved Clark Kent of Smallwell.

If it does, she makes a lot of money, but if it doesn't work, she has nothing to lose.

Even if Superman or the FBI come to you
Selena could testify for her that she never knew what "Clark of Smallwell" was, let alone mentioned.

All these misunderstandings are due to Dr. Robert, who has hallucinations and betrays her as Judas.

Well, it was an idle move, and Halle wasn't even sure Robert had reported herself at the moment.
