I'm dying every day [Comprehensive British and American]

Bernice felt that she was far away from going home, so she could only temporarily live in Gotham.

She counted her belongings, six hundred dollars, a knife, and prison uniform had been thrown away, but she kept Harleen's white coat, that's all... huh?

Bernice felt a square object in the pocket of her white coat, and at first glance, it turned out to be a pack of cigarettes!It's not hard to guess that Harleen left it for her, she was so sweet.

But when she thought that such a beautiful Chinese cabbage would be roasted by the clown pig, Bernice couldn't help itching her teeth.

She opened the cigarette case, wanting to smoke one out of habit, but found that there seemed to be something else inside.

She poured out all the contents, and a silver key and a small note fell on the palm of her hand.

Bernice:

I hope you've escaped Arkham, this is my old address in Gotham, don't worry no one knows I ever lived there.

哈琳

Bernice felt so moved that she wanted to cry at this moment, Harleen was really her little angel!

After being happy, there was a moment of melancholy. It seemed that Harleen had long ago decided to give up her past identity before handing over the house to her.

She was still hesitating whether to settle in New York, where the rent is more expensive, or Buffalo, which is a little further away, so that she didn't even have to look for a hotel.

Gotham is so big and has such a large population, so we will never meet Batman again, right?

Bernice found that the address was not far from here, so she decided to walk there to save money.

……

It was a residential apartment in an apartment building. It was not that big, but it was almost twice the size of Bernice's own home. It was basically furnished. Judging by the dust accumulated on it, it hadn't been there for a while. people lived.

As long as you own a property, you have to pay the property tax. Otherwise, the government will confiscate and auction the property. Bernice doesn’t know if Harleen has paid it on time. If not, she will pay it on her behalf...if she has money.

After a whole night of tossing yesterday, Bernice was already hungry by now, and planned to go out and buy some ingredients to cook for herself.Because she lived alone before, her skills include cooking, but the taste is... don't expect too much.

There is a supermarket nearby. Bernice is not kidding. There are armed guards guarding the entrance of this supermarket, which shows how bad the law and order in Gotham is. I am afraid that robberies do not happen often in this supermarket.

"Lily!" She was grabbed by the arm by a woman who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the supermarket, and said excitedly, "So you are here, come home with me!"

Bernice frowned, trying to break free from her grasp but did not use too much force, "Who the hell is Lily? Get lost!"

The woman insisted: "How could I have mistaken my daughter? Lily, don't you recognize me?"

Bernice twitched the corners of her mouth, who knows her daughter on the street?

The quarrel between them began to attract the attention of passers-by. An old man who came out of the supermarket seemed to be accustomed to this, and said to Bernice: "Leave her alone. Her daughter died in a robbery and she was mentally ill. It’s too stable, and now everyone recognizes her daughter.”

When Bernice heard this, she was taken aback, but she didn't push the woman away.

The woman turned a deaf ear and continued to pull Bernice, pleading: "Come home with me, I made your favorite Hawaiian pizza!"

Bernice: "..."

……

Bernice is a star who would die if she didn't eat pizza.

Now she's sitting in a stranger's house, gobbling up a stranger's pizza.

"Eat slowly, there are still a lot." The woman looked at Bernice with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

Bernice licked the sauce on her lips, and praised without any effort: "Although you are a bit weird, this pizza is really good. It would be even better if it had cheese."

The woman smiled even more happily, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "I'll get you a can of Coke."

After the woman left, Bernice paid attention to the photos on the cabinet. She put down the food in her hand and took a closer look. It was a family photo, and the frame of the photo was polished brightly. Love it.

The woman on the left is the woman, and the man on the right seems to be her husband, so the one in the middle should be "Lily".

"Lily" is wearing a graduation gown, and the happy smiles of the family of three are forever frozen in the photo.

"She is Lily, she looks very similar to you, right?" The woman didn't know when she would come back, her eyes passed Bernice and landed on the picture, that happy self.

Bernice twitched her forehead, what was she like except that they both had light blond hair? !

"Wait a minute." She finally came to her senses and turned her head to stare at the woman. "You already knew that I'm not Lily."

"Hehe, who knows." The woman smirked.

Bernice: "..."

Don't eat for nothing, Bernice continued to clean up her pizza, but the woman kept talking to her.

The woman's name was Davy, and Mrs. Davy had a husband and daughter, Mr. Davy and Lily Davy.

Speaking of the robbery, Mrs. David, who had been laughing and joking, became emotional: "It's the clown, Lily is a bank clerk, she was on duty that day, the clown just brought people in to rob, they have machine/guns, see people Just shoot..."

Mrs. David's eyes were so red that she seemed to be bleeding, "Lily was only 23 years old when she died. She had just graduated from college. This was her first job..."

"Oh?" Bernice chewed the pizza disapprovingly, "What about Mr. David?"

"He..." Mrs. David clenched her fists and said in a distraught voice, "He has been very negative since Lily passed away. One day he drank a lot of alcohol, lost control and crashed into another car while driving, and he was seriously injured. But... the other car was a family, and all four of them died..." At the end, her voice trembled uncontrollably, "Later, he committed suicide by taking medicine because he blamed himself too much. "

The clown harmed one family, and the family harmed another family. The tragedy is like an endless chain of cause and effect, which will never end.

Is that Batman's fault?A clown is a clown because of him.But if you think about it again, why did Batman become Batman?Is it any wonder to blame the thief who killed his parents again?

So, why did the thief become a thief?

See it.

Bernice was silent for a moment. She reached out to pick up the can of Coke, opened it and took a sip. The cold feeling flowed from her throat to her body. After a while, she said, "Why didn't you follow him?"

"I..." The woman who lost everything could no longer hold back her tears, "I can't do it."

"Since you can't do it, then live on."

Mrs. David raised her head sharply. She didn't know if it was her illusion. She seemed to see a gloomy emotion in the eyes of the blonde girl in front of her, but she blinked and it disappeared again.

She suddenly felt that this girl was not as indifferent to everything as she had shown.

"The clown has escaped again," said Mrs. Davy, her voice unhinged. "He killed my family, and he got away with it."

"Then what do you want? There is no death penalty in Gotham."

"Since he can't be locked up, Batman should kill him!"

Bernice had already eaten the whole pizza, she would wipe her hands clean now, and said slowly, "You hate him so much, why don't you kill him yourself?"

"Me? Are you kidding me?"

"Then why did you ask Batman to do this?"

Mrs. Davy froze.

Bernice didn't want to say good things for Batman, it was purely her own subjective feeling.She never felt that she had any sense of justice. If she was to be a vigilante, she would be a clown. She breaks the law and people scold her;

Bernice drank the last sip of Coke and stood up, "I'm leaving."

It was only after leaving Mrs. David's house that Bernice remembered that she had come to the supermarket to buy ingredients, but she had a free lunch without buying ingredients.

In the next few days, every time Bernice went to the supermarket, she would stop by Mrs. David's house to have a look. After Si liked cheese, she actively researched different patterns of cheese pizza. This high-calorie food caused Bernice to gain three pounds in a week, but she just couldn't stop eating.

……

Today, Bruce Wayne took a rare stroll in the company. He has been hiding at home for too long, and the saying of "being injured playing extreme sports" is almost outdated, so he couldn't wait to show his face.

When driving back, he saw a woman on the side of the street with sharp eyes.

It was the woman who escaped from him.

He saw her say goodbye to a woman downstairs in an old apartment building.

The first thought that popped up in his mind was that the woman was her family. After she ran away that day, he went back and investigated her, but found nothing. At least he was sure that she was not from Gotham.

If the woman was really someone in her family or someone she knew, it would be much easier for him to catch someone as Batman.

Then he saw the blond woman walking into a supermarket.
