In the "bright" Gotham City, there would always be night.
Whenever night fell, the hazy sky and the whistling north wind ... Would always make some people recall a period of time.
In the not-so-distant past, this place was still a City of Sin filled with corruption.
At that time, the officials and the gangs called each other brothers, and the police were the protective umbrella for the criminals ... The whole of Gotham was like a dark and cold concrete forest. At night, the streets would be filled with low or sad roars ... As if they would never stop.
However, all of that had become a thing of the past ... At least, that was what it looked like on the surface.
............
Evening, 7:30 am, east side of Gotham.
Three years ago, East Borough was a terrible place, or rather ... The worst place in all of Gotham.
If you thought the ruffians at Robinson Park were bad, it was because you had never seen the half-beggar, half-robber drug addicts in front of Fenger Memorial. If you thought these drug addicts were bad, it was because you had never seen the homeless people lying on the ground like stranded dead fish in front of the spolang Rescue Station.
However, compared to the situation in East Borough, these people were considered "passable."
Back then, East Borough was a red-light district that even the corrupt police were unwilling to step into. Prostitutes with bruised noses and swollen faces could be seen everywhere on the streets (for these women, it was common to be beaten by pimps), and even young prostitutes; The violent and crazy criminals dared to commit crimes in full view of the public, but the people around them would ignore them as if they didn't see them.
Even after three years, this district still had the highest crime rate in Gotham.
Cheap bars, cheap hotels, cheap apartments, cheap shops ... Everything here was cheap. It was this 'cheapness' that allowed the people at the bottom of the class to survive.
However,"survival" and "life" were different. Poverty was an easy trigger for crime. This was a principle that had never changed.
Therefore, this 'cheap' place naturally became the last gray area in the game.
Feng bujue was curious as to why Fiddlesticks did not turn dark. This was because this character had been bullied when he was a student ... And not because of a certain incident that happened after he grew up.
In the end, after talking to the psychology professor at the cafeteria for more than half an hour, brother Jue finally managed to get the answer. The boys who had bullied Jonathan and the girls who had rejected and teased him ... All of them had met with a mountain disaster during a school trip many years later. When the police found their bodies, many of them had already been eaten by the wild beasts in the mountains.
As for our Johnathan ... Or rather, this gentleman who was supposed to be a commoner, because his school days were like hell, and he didn't have any feelings for this group of classmates, he didn't go to that gathering at all ... And thus, he was lucky enough to escape.
After that incident, Johnathan's heart had changed a lot, as if some of the knots in his heart had been untied ... Of course, it could also be said that he had the mentality of "God is watching over me".
No matter what, that was the reason why Fiddlesticks did not go dark ... After hearing that, Feng bujue's quest progress was updated to 5/10.
............
When he left Gotham University, it was already dusk. Brother Jue felt that it was about time, so he ran to his third stop, the east side of Xuanji.
"Hey! Are you blind?" Just as Feng bujue was standing on the road and looking into the distance, suddenly, someone knocked him hard with his shoulder and said that first.
Brother Jue was very familiar with this kind of trick ... Anyway, it was either a scam or a provocation.
Feng bujue might not even be polite to a normal person, but to someone who was obviously up to no good ... One could easily imagine his attitude.
"Ha?" The next second, brother Jue's juvenile voice came online. He turned his head and glanced at the person who had just passed him."Are you talking to me?"
"Nonsense!" It was a bald man who was topless even in the cold weather. There were many tattoos on his body, and there was almost no intact skin below his neck."You're not only blind ... You're also F * cking deaf?"
The moment he said this, he was kicked in the lower half of his body.
Then, he instinctively covered his crotch and knelt down ...
"Ha? What did you say? I still can't hear you ..."Feng bujue's kick to the crotch was really sudden. After the kick, he acted as if nothing had happened, and his tone was like that of an old man with bad hearing." ...Can you say that again?"
"You ... You ..." Baldhead wanted to curse, but the intense pain in his balls made him squeeze out a few words. He also wanted to stand up and hit someone, but before the intense pain in his crotch eased ... He probably had to keep his legs together and kneel for a while.
"Come and find me when you can speak clearly." Feng bujue looked down at the man, shrugged, and left after that.
He knew that this hooligan would definitely catch up to him and take revenge, and it was very likely that he would call some of his accomplices ... And this was exactly what he was looking forward to.
