New York is a Shura field [Comprehensive British and American]

How do you answer this...

You don't even know what to say, you just stare at the other person's face quietly.Then, you see yourself in his eyes.

"Why do you think that?" you hear yourself say, but even though it seems like a question, you don't really have any hope that he will answer you.

You just said that symbolically.

Immediately, you answer him: "I don't hang out with you because you are Spider-Man. So actually, Peter Parker or Spider-Man doesn't make any difference to me."

By the time you say goodbye to Peter and leave the halloween venue, it will be almost dawn.

You put your phone on silent and never look at it again - you're afraid that man named Harry Osborn will call you again, and you can't just pretend not to see it every time.God knows, the string of numbers on the caller ID is obviously just the carrier of radio waves, but in your eyes, it is like an enemy, as if your fingertips are still a little away from the screen, and the call will be connected by itself.

From your point of view, it is also possible - if the system wants to.

So you really don't even look once, even very thoughtfully turning off the silent vibration mode as well.As a result, there will be no beeps for any new incoming calls—until you want to.

Then you're indiscriminately overturned.

It seems that the little green goblin just called you tentatively, perhaps simply wanting to know whether your number can be reached.Give up without delay after trying it once.

He only called you once.

And the rest...

After you bid farewell to the little spider, you sighed with relief, walked down the street and took out your phone.After discovering that apart from that first lonely call from Harry Osborn, all the rest were from Bruce.

What a thrill.

However, you did completely forget about him when you were out and about.

Ugh.

Half an hour ago, you stood on the side of the street and looked at the extremely long string of missed call IDs on the screen of your mobile phone, feeling a little dizzy.But it's too late to come back now, isn't it?

When you think about it this way, you give up the idea of ​​calling him back.

After all, he must be feeling tired now after a whole night of arresting operations, right?

"He definitely doesn't have time to talk to me now." You said this to yourself, insisting on "

Don't trouble him", walking alone on the streets of Gotham.

But you seem to have high expectations for the law and order of Gotham, just like this person walking alone on the streets of Gotham, completely ignoring the potential dangers that you may attract.

Because your classmates are all in New York, they have to go home too, and it's just... just you.

I have to admire the efficiency of the Gotham Bureau. Halloween has just ended, but the pumpkin lanterns are withdrawn faster than anything else.When you came here before, there were still pumpkin lanterns hanging on the street to enhance the atmosphere, but now there are not many of them dismantled.

The previous Halloween festival was nothing more than an illusory colorful psychedelic dream, and now Gotham has returned to the depressing atmosphere before.

You don't look around anymore, because no matter how you look at it, the tall buildings around you look the same.

Wait a minute... no?

You won't get lost, will you?

After walking the same street back and forth, you are deeply aware of the fact that you are currently facing.

You've once again brought out your road-crazy personality.

The geography of Gotham is actually similar to that of New York.Perhaps the only difference between the two cities is how familiar you are with each.You need to be a little familiar with New York, at least be able to recognize the roads and subway lines that you use to commute to and from school and do errands.You're pretty much a stranger to Gotham.

God knows why there are so many roads...

But luckily, you have your phone with you.

It doesn't matter if you don't know the way in contemporary society, as long as you have a smart phone.The above navigation can guide you to wherever you want to go.

In this season, the sky is generally brighter than late.Therefore, the twilight of morning light also lasted for quite a long time.

It's just Xi Wei - the figure of the criminals following you not far away is almost perfectly covered up.

Unlike the turbulent crowd when you came, after the last effect of this venue was exhausted, the crowd dispersed quietly and left.So you don't see anyone who can ask the way now.

You have already stopped, and you are looking at your phone intently, searching for the shortest route to Wayne Manor.You didn't notice the gangster who was getting closer and closer to you behind you.

Gotham is a city with the highest crime rate, and people with good eyesight would generally not choose to go out when there is no one around for a hundred meters.What's more, you are really a beautiful lady in their eyes.

Wouldn't it be beautiful to rob wealth and sex?

The location in the upper left corner of the phone screen where the signal should be displayed is now circling continuously, and the content you are searching for has not been displayed.You stared at the circle for a full minute before you finally felt impatient and pressed back to search again.

What you said to the little spider was that you came to Gotham for business, and you will go back after a while, and you are currently staying at a certain relative's house.

Although you tried your best to keep the same expression on your face when you said this to him, you still couldn't help complaining about yourself.

What kind of relative is Batman?

Sometimes the reality is like this, you don't want to lie but you still lie.Because sometimes, little lies make it all so easy that people stop asking about you.

You wish you could be a little more honest next year.If the timeline that has created chaos because of you can maintain its current stable appearance until next year.

Yes, the balance of your heart will occasionally tilt slightly, not to mention the current world composed of countless data?

It is shaky.Probably about the same level of instability as Gotham.

And its master is you.

But the phone signal doesn't seem to be getting any better at all - after repeated failed attempts to re-search, you have to throw in the towel.

Wait a while and see, maybe it will be better...

It was too late when you suddenly turned around and realized that there were two strange men wearing black hoods who couldn't see their faces behind you.

Even though the outfits they're both in are kind of funny, you still get scared—you're in this situation.

They originally wanted to grab your neck from behind and make you obediently pay and submit.But now you have obviously noticed that the two of them are approaching secretly and are about to run away, so they have no choice but to catch you at a faster speed, and at the same time take out the knife they carry to scare you.In short, I can't just let you run away for nothing.

However, they can't guarantee whether they will just let you die.

The moment you saw the two of them, you stood motionless at the same spot, thinking for a moment whether the two in front of you belonged to the group of people dressed up in funny costumes on Halloween.But you denied it almost immediately, and ran away without saying anything.

A good love game was completed by you city parkour.

What else can you do?In this case, you have nothing else to do but run, right?After all, you don't have any weapons on your body that can fight against it... Then it may be helpful to run fast at the beginning, but you know that now you don't even have time to make a phone call.

You are almost running as fast as you can.But you just rushed forward a few steps, and after avoiding one of the people's interception, you turned a corner and ran into the narrow and winding alleys of Gotham.

slums.

In this case, they will not be able to see you at all under the cover of these curtains hanging from the sides of the building.You are like a nimble little eel, you shuttle inside and disappear in a moment.

You almost turned several turns, and you didn't really slow down until there were no footsteps behind you.

But to be honest, I don't even know the way now...

The surrounding residential buildings are too close to each other. It feels like if you stand on the balcony, you can reach the railing of the opposite balcony with just one hand.

It makes you feel very depressed.

You turned around, thinking that you should run a little further.

With this attitude, you move forward again.Unexpectedly, this time, just after you lifted the cover, you met the stranger who was chasing you just now.

What a coincidence.

You stared blankly at him, but you obviously couldn't see his face.You can only see the evil light shining in those slightly cloudy eyes at this moment.

He is approaching step by step, and you have to step back step by step.Just as you were about to run in the opposite direction, another person, his accomplice, appeared.

Attacking you one after the other.

"What do you want?" You can't run this time, so you can only take a deep breath and ask.But soon you added: "As long as you let me go, I will definitely not call the police."

"Run? You keep running?" said the man standing in front of you.At the same time, he held a shining saber in his hand against your chin maliciously. The sharp and sharp blade was infinitely close to your delicate skin, and you were forced to And looked up at him.

He is forcing you to submit in such a way.

After a few moments, you see a little puzzlement in his eyes.Sure enough, he said, "I think——you seem familiar?"

"Dan, come and have a look!" He waved at another person, motioning him to come over.

"How is that possible? It's not my old love so there's nothing familiar." The man named "Dan" came over, but he only glanced at your face briefly and scratched his neck , seems very impatient.

You keenly notice that this man has a tattoo on his neck.

Even on his hand that was scratching his neck, there were three very obvious black spots on the tiger's mouth.But the light is too dim, and his hand is still moving, so you can't see it clearly—the other person's blade is still on your chin, so you dare not move it.

But in your field of vision, the black spot on Dan's tiger's mouth is triangular in shape.

Only people who have been in prison have this kind of thing.That's their imprint.Not obvious, but can play a warning role.

It seems that the two people standing in front of you at this moment are old fried dough sticks.

"Let's grab it quickly and leave, I just came out not long ago!"

"You fart! I saw her in the newspaper two days ago!"

At the moment when the other party said this sentence, you felt that the blade was getting closer and closer to your skin.

Hearing this, Dan really set his eyes on you and stared at you for a while.He muttered, "It seems... also? Is it some female star or something?"

"It's going to be full light in a while." You said, "Just let me go, you two, please? I want to go home. Do you want money? I'll go back and get it for you?"

"Shut up, or you'll cut your tongue." The man still didn't put down the knife in his hand, and he answered you in a vicious voice.

Then, his tone became subtle: "Oh—" he drew his tone, "I recognize you, you are the girl with Bruce Wayne!"

That bad premonition is getting stronger in your mind.

God knows why you're in the papers?

Aren't you a bitch in Gotham?Just dance with Bruce and get in the newspaper?

Don't you end up being killed by a blackened male god this time, or by a robber? ?

"Now you're going to kill me. ’ you said to the system in your head.

"You must be mistaken." You retorted.This time your tone is not as easy as it was at the beginning.

Your anxious reaction made the stranger in front of him more certain of his conclusion.

He smiled with satisfaction, but that laughter sounded like a crow's cry, which was very obvious in the dead silence.

He put the knife down suddenly, but before you could breathe a sigh of relief, he put the knife on your face again.You now have to use delicate skin to feel the coldness of the blade.

"I'm going to kill you." His smile disappeared, replaced by a more icy look.

"Listen, we can have a good chat—"

But your words were completely forgotten by him.He doesn't give a shit about the money you get to blackmail Bruce Wayne.Rather, he was born with a kind of hatred towards everyone around him. Simply put, he is a super-advanced version who can't see other people's goodness-he can't adapt to this society, can't adapt to this kind of life, so he decides to destroy others.

The best way to destroy someone's life is to destroy what they care most about.

Of course he knew that Bruce had no shortage of money, and this Gotham playboy had no shortage of women.However, the you in front of him must have a unique meaning to Bruce - although he has no proof, he just instinctively thinks so.

When you heard the death announcement, a more unreal feeling appeared beside you.

You have imagined your own ending many times, and you naturally expected this bloody situation.It's just that you really didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Obviously an hour ago you were still enjoying this carnival night.

But that's fine too.Then you don't have to be held back by these complicated feelings anymore.

You can truly be yourself.

...does such an ending really make sense?Is it freeing you, or is it really no different from the ordinary life you face here?

You don't have time to think about it.Because you feel that the sharp blade is about to cut your skin, just a little bit away.

It's only a matter of time.

You even close your eyes.You know you're going to be terrified to struggle in vain when you see the blade about to poke you in the face - that's only going to make things worse for you, a corpse with a badly mutilated face.

...In fact, there should be nothing worse than death.

The expected pain of the blade piercing the skin did not appear.

The knife in the man's hand was forced to change direction, and then fell heavily to the ground, making a clanging sound.

You stumbled back, and at this moment you saw Bruce Wayne, who had been living in the contemptuous language of the gangsters just now, appeared, but in another identity-Batman.

He swooped down from the air, locked the hooded man's throat with one hand, and grabbed the man's wrist with great force and force with the other hand, forcing him to adjust the position of the knife—Bruce didn't want your face to be scratched either. , he knows you will be sad.

In front of Batman's powerful strength, the heartbreaking pain of a broken wrist swept through the man's whole body, and the knife fell to the ground with a bang.

Then he punched him in the abdomen, and the man lost consciousness in pain.

As for the other person, he stood stunned by the side and completely acted as the audience of this good show.In just a few minutes, everything changed.His fate was similar to that of the previous one, he fell to the ground after being beaten up.

At this moment, Batman turned to look at you.

Originally, he usually went back to the manor to rest at this time.But because you haven't answered his calls, you inevitably have a bad feeling in your heart.

Gotham is a dangerous place, why would he let you out alone?Just because you're going to be petty to him?

He should obviously protect you, but he still let you go out alone without any protective measures.

He knows that you are not a child who is easy to get lost outside, you are also a person who can think independently and make your own choices, but...he just cares about you.

If you get hurt in any way because of him... no, if you get hurt in any way, then he's going to sink into a deep swamp called "guilt" and he'll think it's because he's disqualified from being a protector .

Fortunately, he still came out with uneasy thoughts and rescued you from the scythe of death.

He walked up to you slowly.And you dare not look into his eyes, you seem to be causing him trouble again.

After a while, when you were wondering how long this silence would last, he stretched out his hand and stroked your cheek.

It's just that the material of his gloves is attached to your face, adding a cold feeling.

He carefully examined your face to see if there were any wounds on your face. Naturally, you also had to raise your eyes in front of him and meet his eyes.

really weird.You can't see any anger or anything similar to anger in his eyes.

...he should be angry.

He is such a good-natured person in front of you.

When you think about it like this, you feel even more uncomfortable.

It is clear that you have not worried at all during this time.

"I'm sorry." You said, "I didn't answer your call. I turned on silent mode and didn't notice..."

You are not someone who can make up the reason, anyway, you just explained it dryly.

"...Don't go out alone next time." His eyes are full of seriousness, and there is also a kind of other emotion that you can't describe.

"When I can't see you," he lowered his voice and paused again, "I will also—" He temporarily changed what he was going to say, and said instead: "I will feel that you have left me again gone."
