I have two faces

It was damp and gloomy, the sewer smelled bad, the sky had just rained, and the sun was covered by mist, like an oil painting splashed with sewage, and the darkness hidden under the heavy ink was about to come out.

Gotham in winter is even more grim.

Andy, a teenager in a delivery boy uniform with greedy and snobbish eyes, knocks the real delivery boy unconscious and hides him in a trash can, taking his place up the stairs of the apartment.

Andy had seen her three days ago.

On the street, wearing furry home shoes, as if just woke up from the bed, wearing a wrinkled nightdress, wearing a coat, looking for my father with red eyes from crying.

She grabbed Andy's sleeve, her voice was slightly hoarse, the tip of her nose was reddish from the cold, she raised her head and asked anxiously: "Big brother, have you seen my father?"

Andy followed her hand and saw the photo she was holding. It was a family photo of father and daughter. A man who didn't know how to describe was holding a girl and smiling brightly at the camera.

"I do not know him."

In fact, Andy had seen her dad, one night, kill some gangsters quite easily.

Andy asked about her situation, and learned that she had lost her father and was alone at home. Andy was so excited that he almost set off fireworks.

For the little girl who lost her umbrella, in a place like Gotham, whether she can survive really depends on luck.

She's good looking so she won't die.

Because she can sell for a good price, Andy also came up with this idea, he was running out of money to drink, and he needed a sum of money to fill his stomach.

To whom?

Whoever bids the highest will sell it to whomever. As for what will happen to her, it has nothing to do with Andy.

He tugged on his uniform cap, lowered his greedy eyes, and rang the doorbell.

This apartment is very expensive. Andy once heard his hostess mother quarrel with her father that she wanted to live in this place all her life. Unfortunately, the gambling father lost all the money in the family. Nest in the basement.

Andy was bad, but he was dutiful, and maybe after selling the little girl he could take the house and take the mother into this new home.

Thinking of this, Andy seemed to hear the sound of slippers in the door, getting closer and closer.

"Guess if this is the Queen of Hearts or the Ten of Diamonds?"

Andy turned around, a magician who seemed to be a performer, with two cards between his fingers, his smile was bright, but there was no reason to make people feel cold.

Andy took a sip in disgust, "Go somewhere else!"

"You chose 10 of diamonds, unfortunately, I don't like 10 of diamonds."

The door opened.

Enid opened the door, resting her head on the door frame, looking at the man at the door, who seemed to be a magician for show, holding the takeaway she just ordered in his hand.

"Do all the delivery staff now have such a beautiful new uniform?"

Then, Enid saw the dead body lying at the magician's feet, with a playing card stuck in the neck, maybe it was not an ordinary playing card, it was deeply embedded, and the blood flowed all over the place.

A magician may not be a showman, he is an evil clown.

Enid, who is like a canary protected by her father, has never seen the darkness of this world. The scariest thing she encountered in this life was that her father disappeared. She was robbed on the street, but it was the first time she saw a dead person , She was terrified, and closed the door with a scream. A mobile phone was stuck in the crack of the door at the right time, and she slowly but could not refuse to push it open.

Enid's strength was no match for him, and she wanted to escape in fear, but there was nowhere to escape in this room, and finally got into her closet like a childish child's hide-and-seek game.

A closet full of little dresses.

Enid covered her mouth, trembling uncontrollably, whispering silently to the person she relied on the most.

However, the person she relied on the most has left without saying goodbye, and she is now an orphan, an abandoned child.

The cabinet door was opened a crack, and bright light sneaked into the dark cabinet.

A candy appeared in the crack of the door, it was wrapped in shiny red wrapping paper, the fingers holding it were pale and clean, and its owner wiped the blood from his hands, so in Enid's eyes, the candy was also special. Clean and inviting.

Enid stared blankly at Candy.

"trick or treat."

It's almost Halloween.

The man who spoke had a low voice with a seductive tone, like a demon who is good at seducing fairies in fairy tales.

A hand that was more delicate than the clown's hand took the candy from him, and her cold fingertips brushed against the clown's fingertips. The clown smiled, then grabbed her wrist with his backhand, and pulled her out of the closet.

"It turns out that Sweetheart was so easily kidnapped when she was a child."

The clown licked his lips, and hugged the little girl who was struggling and crying tightly without letting go.

Crime is committed every day in Gotham, and innocent and not-innocent people die every day.

Andy's death made no waves, and no one knew anything about what happened in the apartment.

The news that Enid's protective umbrella left without saying goodbye spread quickly, leaving a beautiful daughter alone, and how many people were scrambling in the dark. Andy was the first, and soon the second and third.

But they all ended up the same way as Andy.

"That girl is protected."

As soon as this conclusion comes out, those who are about to make a move are unwilling to be reconciled, but the lessons learned from the past are daunting.

Halloween is very lively every year, and even this perennially dark Gotham is not exempt.

There is even less crime this day.

Enid bought little Halloween decorations and a box of cupcakes on the street, wrapped up and wearing pink gloves.

The shopkeeper soft-heartedly asks her if she wants to stay in his house for the holidays, but Enid refuses.

Enid pulled her hat and went back to the apartment smoothly. She looked behind her, and the annoying little bastard who had been following her had disappeared at some point.

She thought of the man who frightened her by showing up at her house the other day.

Enid knew that it was thanks to him that she was not harassed, but she was obviously a good person, so why did she have to appear in such a terrible way?

Can't we just sit down and talk about it?

Enid's world is still very pale, and her cognition of good people is even paler.

A good person is a good person to her.

Enid was still terrified of him though.

This is directly manifested in the fact that when Enid found the clown waiting for her at the door with a bunch of things, she ran away. Of course, it was expected that she would be caught.

"Why are you so afraid of me, sweetheart?"

"Ugh..."

"I won't kill you, if you're good."

"QAQ"

"If you are not good, I will not kill you."

Enid blinked her wet eyes: "Why?"

The clown picked up the little girl who was clinging tightly to the pole with one hand, her miserable green hair shook slightly, and the tail of her hair brushed against Enid's eyes, and she blinked subconsciously.

"Because I've tried this boring game."

Enid: "?"

She couldn't understand what the clown said, but she knew that her life was still safe for the time being.

only……

Can you let me down and walk well...
