Gotham Dark Godfather

Chapter 39 Street Gossip

Gotham is just as busy and lively at night, but the only difference is that most of the busy people during the day are workers and office white-collar workers, and when night falls, when those huge neon signs gradually light up, the corners of the streets and alleys There, countless women appeared like ghosts. .

They wear exaggerated and colorful makeup, wear clothes that can barely cover any part of their body, have empty eyes, hold cigarettes mechanically, and numbly look at every man passing by, trying to find their prey.

Zhou Hao was bored, holding a cigarette in his mouth and passing the time on the street.In order to avoid being thought that he was traveling with these women, he casually found a shoe stall and sat down, motioning to polish his shoes. In front of a child with nimble hands and feet, he skillfully waved the brush and got busy.

By the way, Gotham aims to regulate the urban environment and provide business channels for low-income people.So a unified shoe stall was specially placed in each block. It was actually a fixed plastic chair and a lockable locker to store shoe polishing tools.Then there are people who take care of it full-time and clean the shoes of passers-by.However, contrary to expectations, these street conveniences soon became a taboo for gangsters. They levied protection fees on shoe shiners. If they did not comply, they would directly destroy their livelihood. In the end, the number of mobile shoe shiners on the streets was not only reduced. Instead, these fixed shoe-shine spots are often vandalized, and if they are not dirty and messy, they have become a comfortable place for homeless people.

At this moment, the shoe stall that Zhou Haolai came to was quite clean. There was no garbage or sputum or other filth around, and he even thoughtfully prepared a pile of newspapers on the seat.Not only can people sit down without worrying about soiling their clothes, but at the same time, they can watch the news and relieve their boredom while shining shoes. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Hey! I used the machine designed by Riddler Nimag. The efficiency is so fast. As a result, the goods sent to the video store seem to be a little too much. As a result, the inspection has not been completed. I don't know how long it will take to complete. ?" Zhou Hao sighed and glanced at the newspaper casually. There were too many articles praising his virtues and filled with flattery. It almost described the current commander-in-chief Ao Guanhai as the best existence in the history.

Quickly turning to the gossip section and reading a few romantic anecdotes about Bruce Wayne, Zhou Hao was no longer interested in the newspaper. He threw it aside, lowered his head and asked the child who was shining his shoes:

“What’s the news on the streets lately?”

Ironically, if you want to know any really interesting news or intelligence when you live in Gotham, you will never rely on newspapers. Instead, you will habitually ask people living on the streets, such as bartenders and cynical nightclub cowboys. Even the most inconspicuous homeless man could tell a story about Chief Luo's whereabouts last night.

"There is a new Chinese detective in Arkham District. It is said that the things down there are extremely powerful and they are greedy for sex. Last night, he arrested a dozen girls who were standing on the street and detained them in the police station garage without paying any money. If you give him bail, you have to spend the whole night having fun with him before letting him out." This shoe shine kid looks like he is only six or seven years old, and his voice is babyish, but he is not shy at all when talking about these things. It can be said that It’s a eloquent conversation:

"What can these girls do? In the end, they had to agree to this guy's request. They were ravaged and miserable. The next day, their hair was disheveled. Some of them were already unconscious. It can be seen that this Chinese detective was really hungry. thirsty"

Hearing this, the customers sitting around who were polishing shoes couldn't help but stretched their heads, joined the chat team, and commented briefly:

"What a fucking beast!"

Zhou Hao's face turned blue when he heard that, and he was sweating heavily. Hey, I'm going to choke you. This rumor is so outrageous. After a long time of relationship, I'm afraid my image of being pure and pure will be ruined?Damn it, you uncle Nimag!

"Uh... kids... friends... um... is there any other news? Let's change the topic." Zhou Hao begged pitifully. This chat topic made his head hurt. .

Generally speaking, if a man's chat involves a woman, it will basically become very pornographic and violent, and the atmosphere will become more and more exciting.To put it simply, unless they are gay, there are probably very few men who are not interested in this topic.

Fortunately, the shoe shine kid was very smart. Seeing that Zhou Hao also had an Asian skin color, he realized that he didn’t like hearing about the scandals of his compatriots, and he didn’t think Zhou Hao was gay, so he naturally started talking about the news about Gotham’s underworld. .

"Similarly yesterday, a stock investor went bankrupt and was planning to pack up his things and run away to hide for two days," the child said mysteriously.

"Isn't it normal to go bankrupt by playing stocks? There are probably [-] such unlucky people in Gotham every day," the customer who was shining shoes said in confusion.

The child smiled slightly and replied in a sweet voice: "But the problem is that this guy owes Black Mask money. Although the amount is not big, only 7 to 8, but you also know that anyone who owes this boss money will not pay it back. The consequences are all to serve as a warning to others. It is said that Black Mask led someone to kill himself in the metropolis, captured the investor, stuffed him into a gasoline barrel, then poured cement into it, and threw him into the sea alive... Tsk, tsk, tsk, this way of death is simply too cruel..."

Zhou Hao was stunned when he heard this, why didn't he open the pot and lift it?It seems that I also owe Black Mask some money, and there are only 4 days left. Could it be that I have to stuff myself into a tin can and pour cement into the sea?Depend on!Did this kid do it on purpose?The most important thing is that Black Mask even dares to go to Superman's territory. I guess even if he ran to the heart of The Flash, the end would not be much better.
