[Comprehensive British and American] HE saves the world

"Hey, Derek..." The homeless black man huddled by the door, forced a smile and greeted the waiter brother, "Can you lend me ten dollars?"

Bruce looked at the man calmly, and his chewing movements gradually slowed down.

A dazed expression, twitching eyeballs, slanted limbs, a nervous twitch, a face covered with acne and scars, with deeply sunken eye sockets... It was a face he was used to seeing in Gotham.They huddled in every dark alley, hidden in the deep shadows of the city, deposited there like silt, and then rotted.

It was the face of a drug addict.

Derek took a deep breath, threw the towel on the bar, and walked towards the door.

"No, you can't do this, Cui, you can't always..." His eyes subconsciously paused in the room, and he pushed the man away, "There are other guests, let's go out and talk."

"Why can't I say it here!"

The man raised his voice suddenly, because the drugs had destroyed his vocal cords, and even if he raised his voice, his voice was hoarse and vague, like a suffocated sigh stuffed in his throat.His lips trembled nervously, and his eyes were fixed on Derek in front of him.

"I'm your brother! Derek! I'm your brother--I am! Is that why you don't want anyone to know... that's all you want to get rid of me?"

Derek took a step back subconsciously, then closed his eyes.He pursed his lips tightly and repeatedly breathed heavily, his voice was very low, it was the kind of voice that was dying and groaning because of life and dignity.

"You can't come to me every time you're on drugs and ask me for money. You heard what Della said, Choi. I can't... I won't give you money until you're off the drug .”

"I... I'm just going to buy food!" Cui squeezed his voice guiltily, as if to emphasize this point, he repeated, "Yes, I just went to buy food! I promise! I haven't eaten anything today, I'm hungry!"

Derek took a deep breath, and after a long time, he let it out slowly.

Then, he took a step back in submission.Get out of the way by the door.

"Stay here, don't let Della see." He wiped his face, pointed to the door, and drew a clear line for Cui, "I'll get you some fried chicken, you Right here, understand, Choi?"

He still relented.

Bruce thought.

the wrong decision making.

Drugs, alcohol, and other such things can turn people into demons.They destroy your brain, they destroy your body, they turn you into a tool that only knows how to crave these things.Those who were originally honest will become full of lies, those who were originally upright will have no sense of shame, those who were originally gentle will steal, snatch, murder, and set fire to them... and the family and friends who still love them will be dragged into hell by them .

He has seen too many such tragedies in Gotham, so many that he is too lazy to count.It happens every day, every night, every hour.

So Bruce was not surprised to see that when Derek had just gone to heat up the fried chicken, Cui rushed to the cash register, grabbed the banknotes one by one, and stuffed them into his arms.

And Derek turned around at this moment.

"Cui! What are you doing!"

He didn't know whether it was anger or embarrassment, his whole face was flushed red.

"It's okay, buddy, please, it's really okay, no problem!" The man had a hypocritical and flustered smile on his face, "I will pay you back tomorrow, I will pay you back!"

"Put it back." Derek's voice also raised his voice, "I asked you to put it back for me!"

"Derek! Don't you believe me? I'm—"

"I think you'd better put it back, buddy."

A hand clamped the man's hand holding the money from the side, interrupting their conversation.There was a little smile on Bruce's face, but not much in his voice.

"You will embarrass your brother like this. How about being a good brother?"

"You, who are you!" Cui's face twisted in pain, subconsciously trying to shake off Bruce's hand, "This, this matter has nothing to do with you, understand! White man!"

"Did something happen?"

Della rushed out of the back kitchen, and when she saw the bills that Choi was holding, Derek at the bar who was crying with embarrassment, and the empty money counter, she understood everything.The strong black woman suddenly raged like a lioness, and she rushed towards Choi like a cannonball.

"I told you! Choi! I told you! If you can't take good care of Derek it's up to me! How many times have I told you! Don't come to your brother on drugs! Get off the drug ! Look at what you have done?!"

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

The man who had already been restrained by Bruce suddenly struggled like crazy, his strength was so great that he couldn't suppress it for a while, the next second, the man named Cui suddenly pulled out a pistol, and slammed it at Della indiscriminately. Lower the trigger.

"I, I am Derek's brother! I am!"

Facing this sudden attack, two people reacted extremely quickly.

One is Bruce. He immediately grabbed Cui, grabbed his wrist, and forced him to aim his gun at the ceiling. His big hands like iron pincers grabbed his wrist bone tightly, causing the man to let go of the pistol with howling. , Then he kicked the pistol aside without hesitation, grabbed Cui's arms and kicked Cui's knee hard, the man who was almost crippled by drugs fell to the ground screaming , two dislocated arms hanging limply behind his back.

The other is the Asian woman who has been silently by Nunnally's side. She jumped to Della's side at an unimaginable speed, and rolled on the ground with two black women who weighed as much as hers. circle, dodging the first wave of bullets.This ensures that no one is injured.

And her movement was so familiar that Bruce couldn't help squinting his eyes.

- Ninja.

While judging in this way, he picked up the pistol from the ground and unloaded it nimbly and skillfully.A handful of yellow bullets fell from his palm, making a pattering sound on the ground.

"Since I know you are his elder brother..." He tightened his lips, threatening the man who was curled up on the ground sobbing in a low voice, "Don't do anything that will hurt him."

Hearing this sentence, the man's sobs turned into howling, while the black boy named Derek covered his face with tears filling his eyes.

"... Sakiko?"

The only girl present who couldn't see what happened here stretched out her hand, her slender and pale hands were groping blankly, wondering if she was frightened by the sound of the gun just now, her fingertips were still trembling slightly, just like her sound the same.

"Yes, miss." The Asian woman answered her, and for some reason, Bruce felt that her voice was a little mechanical.

"Is it all right?"

The girl seemed to be relieved by her voice, and the other hand that was gripping the armrest of the wheelchair also relaxed.

"Yes, it's all right." The Asian woman answered her.

"Very well, then, bring Della to me."

She also held out her other hand.And the other party acted according to her words almost at the same time.The black woman who had just brushed shoulders with death seemed to be still immersed in the lingering aftertaste of the shock just now, she subconsciously grabbed the girl's hand tightly and buried her face in it.

"It's okay Della, it's okay." The girl comforted her softly, "I'm fine, Derek is fine, everyone is fine... I just called the police, and the police will be here soon. It will be fine. Police Just come and trust me, okay?"

That gentle and stable voice possessed incredible power, and quickly calmed down the terrified woman.The strong heart trained in the rough land made Della quickly recover from the stress state. When she raised her head again, she had turned back to the usual old Della who dared to face the hooligans face to face. .

"I'm sorry that this happened to you in my shop, Nana." She called the girl by her nickname, and touched her face with her rough hands, "Are you okay, you weren't scared by that bastard Cui Bar?"

"I'm fine. Rather, I'm very glad that Sakiko and I are here today. It's great that Della and you are not in trouble." The girl smiled slightly, and then gently pushed Della, "But Derek, I It felt like he was terrified."

"Oh, poor little Derek...don't know how he can blame himself..."

Della jumped up quickly, ran to the counter, pulled up the boy who was about to curl up into a ball with his head in his arms, and gave him a caring hug forcefully, as well as many chattering comforting explanations.

However, Bruce noticed that after Della left, the girl named Nunnally took her trembling hands back calmly, gathered them in her sleeves, clasped them tightly, and locked them tightly.If it wasn't for her pale face, he probably really thought she was calm.

Even though I am still afraid, I still want to comfort others...

A helpless smile appeared on Bruce's lips, and then suddenly disappeared.

He finally remembered who this person sounded like.

— Yuffie.

Euphemia L. Brittany.

……

……

……

The Philadelphia Police Department (PPD) dispatched the police very quickly, and arrived at the crime scene in a short time, handcuffed Cui and took him away.Bruce and Nunnally were taken to the police station as related witnesses.

And the big black police detective who was in charge of dispatching the police seemed to be very familiar with Della and his wife.He came over and gave the couple a strong hug first, then gave Nunnally a hug that almost lifted her out of the wheelchair.Bruce heard him say... "Thank you for being here today, our little lucky star."

Also here?Little Lucky Star?

He silently pondered the meaning of this title.On the way to the police station, he pretended to be a young man who was very gossip, and asked the police officer about the news curiously.

"I just heard someone say that girl is 'Little Lucky Star'... May I know what's going on?"

"You mean Miss Lampelucci?" It seems that this policeman is also a bit of a gossip type. He continued with great interest, "You can't tell from the appearance? She has a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. It is said that she still dances." She has been doing volunteer work in the community, voluntarily providing psychological assistance to those who need psychological assistance but cannot pay for counseling. And how should I put it...she has a special talent."

Great, Bruce thought, not only did he have the girl's last name now, but her degree as well.How did this police officer's newcomer training pass?

"Special talent?"

However, the information that should be inquired still needs to be inquired about. He leaned over to the policeman and pretended to be listening attentively.The young police officer looked around, and lowered his voice as if making a fuss.

"She seems to have a premonition about crimes or unfortunate events... She has provided us with clues to crimes several times. Two years ago, she also helped the bureau catch a pedophile lurking in a community service agency, Hey, she did that very well! It is said that the pervert was planning to attack a little girl who was only four or five years old. The child was still in kindergarten and lived with her mother on social subsidies. If Miss Lampelucci hadn't discovered it in time, I don't know what would have happened."

There was a bit of admiration and kindness in the voice of the young policeman.

"Even the 'Deer Chaser' this time... ahem!"

He finally realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and quickly changed the subject.

"So we all call her our 'Little Lucky Star.'"

He said.

The author has something to say:

In the original, Della, Tom, and Derek were all killed that night.Derek also has a good buddy who ruined his life because of this thing and completely turned into a street thug.I still remember the black police officer (the one who hugs Della and the heroine in this chapter, he is a good friend of Della and his wife), said a line to the boy that made me feel very sad.

"You wake up one morning and everyone who gave you hope is gone."

Mrs. and Mrs. Della are really wonderful people, they are the lights of the community.She gave the community a chance to work properly for those who wanted to go the right way, whether they were fresh out of prison, mentally ill, or just a gangster.She gave them both equal opportunities.Really nice people, so I hope they survive.

And the last mentioned girl who was once harassed by pedophilia was Toya. Her mother Rosie was sexually assaulted and abused by her father since she was a child. She suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder. But don't know it.But she really loves her daughter very much, and she puts everything she has to love and protect her daughter.

There is a plot in the original novel that I am particularly impressed with, that is, the hut rented by the mother and daughter has only one bedroom and one living room. The police originally thought that the bedroom belonged to the mother, but later found out that the bedroom belonged to the daughter, and the mother has been sleeping on the sofa outside.

Rosie is a broken person and can't say she didn't make mistakes, but she really tried to give Toya everything she could.

So here I let their mother and daughter be introduced by the hostess to work in Della's restaurant. I want them to have a chance, a chance to survive.

The original work is too miserable, I want them to be more complete in the fan.
