Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters deadly joke (nineteen)
Selina took two more steps forward, held Bruce's face with both hands and said: "Sorry, honey, Maggie told me before that there was something wrong with your mental state. I didn't quite believe it, but now I believe it."
Already."
"I know, I know..." Selina put her face close to Bruce and said, "You are a rich man, and a meal costs thousands of dollars. Even if you don't know how much five dollars means in the slums, you at least
You should also be able to tell that these boots are fake, right???"
Selina shook Bruce's head away, pointed to his boots and said, "Even if you can't see the details, can't you see that the upper and sole are not the same color? Are you color blind?!
!」
By the end of her words, Selina had already started to yell, and Bruce was speechless at her question, because he really didn't know what rain boots in the slums should look like.
Bruce doesn't usually wear rain boots. When he was Batman, he wore boots from the Batsuit. Apart from the fact that they looked like shoes, they had nothing to do with shoes. However, as Bruce's
Sometimes, I usually only wear leather shoes.
What? What to do on a rainy day, you ask?
On rainy days, whenever Bruce wanted to go, he would call directly and ask the other party to prepare the blanket. When the car drove to the door, before he even stepped out, the waiter would bring a thick pile of waterproof blankets and umbrellas.
The car door is spread out into the hall, and the waiter will be scolded if his shoes are stained by a drop of rainwater.
Now, the pair of rain boots that Bruce is wearing has a slight color difference between the upper and the sole. The upper is ordinary green, while the sole is military green. Bruce recalled that the lighting in the place where he bought this pair of shoes was very bad, and the boss
After handing it to him, he looked at it carefully, but didn't think there was anything wrong with the color.
Selena sighed and said: "My eldest young master, these shoes are made by picking up the soles that others don't want, and then using low-quality rubber to make the uppers and splicing them together. They are fine when you first wear them, but once they are soaked in water
If it lasts for a long time, it will get wet immediately. Don’t say buy it for five dollars. If you give me five dollars, I won’t even wear it.”
Selina put her arms around Bruce's neck and said: "It seems that you have done a lot of stupid things in the past month or so. Let's find a safe place. If you tell me in detail, we can go and get the money back..."
Bruce wanted to say no, but looking at Selina's eyes, he still didn't say anything.
Selena led him to a very dark alley, then knocked on the window on the first floor. An old lady with heavy makeup stuck her head out and said, "Hey, isn't this Selena?"
?Why do you remember me?"
"Madam, we are looking for a house." Facing this old lady, Selena was quite well-behaved. The old lady showed a puzzled expression and said, "What happened to the house you originally lived in? Why can't you live in it anymore?"
?」
Selena rolled her eyes and said, "Forget it, I'm fed up with Hef's coward. I want to find a house in living hell. It's fine if it's more expensive, but it must be safe."
The old lady put her head back, then took out a newspaper. In the blank space of the newspaper, she wrote a series of words and house numbers. She put on her glasses and looked at it carefully and said: "There are two vacant rooms in the North District of Living Hell.
The conditions are good, but the rent is relatively expensive, $8 a week..."….
"Can't it be cheaper?" Selena asked: "I will pay the protection fee on time, and I will also order newspapers and milk."
The old lady shook her finger and said: "Then I know where you should go. There is a new house vacated in the South District. The newspapers and milk have been ordered. You can just go and live there. It's $6 a week and there will be no price increase.
How about it?"
Selena nodded and said: "Please help me say hello to the gangsters there. I will go out occasionally at night. Oh, by the way, I will occasionally bring men back, so that they don't make a fuss..."
"We don't have to worry about this kind of thing now in the living hell." The old lady flipped through the newspaper in her hand and said, "You get what you pay for, you'll know when you go live here."
Selena took out her wallet, dug out 20 cents, handed it to the old lady, said goodbye with a smile, then waved her hand and left.
On the way, Selina explained to Bruce: "There are many such old women in the East End. They are usually from the previous generation.
Many of the courtesans are the lovers of gang bosses."
"As they get older, men no longer like them, but they do well in life. They are familiar with all the gang bosses. They can also easily enter major mansions. They know social etiquette and can meet those big shots. They are very popular in the East District.
If you can, it would be a good idea to rent a house from them."
Bruce nodded confusedly, but he was not upset about this because he really didn't know about it, and anyone who had just come here probably wouldn't know about it.
Selena pulled him to the side of the road again and said, "Let's take a ride there."
"A ride? What ride?" Bruce asked.
"It's just a ride. This place is far away from the Living Hell. Don't tell me that you want to walk there by foot. That will make you exhausted... The ride is here!"
Bruce turned his head and saw a large truck approaching, the same kind of truck he drove before.
Selina stretched out her hand to stop her, but after taking a look, she took her hand back. The truck sped past in front of them, and Bruce turned to look at Selina.
"If this car doesn't work, he won't give us a ride." Selina shrugged and said, "His car has goods. He should be an overnight driver. This kind of driver is busy working and will not be free.
Take care of others."
Then, another truck drove past, but Selina still didn't wave. He went on to explain: "This won't work either. This is a female driver and she won't let male passengers get on the truck."
"Oh, this... this one won't work either. This driver is too thin and not as strong as you. He will definitely become suspicious when he sees you."
"Oh! This one!" Selina finally stretched out her hand and waved vigorously. The truck stopped, and two strong men sat in the cab, covered in tattoos and with ferocious faces.
But Selena was not afraid at all. She leaned forward, holding two bills in her hand and said: "Hey, man, I want to take a ride to live in hell. Are you free?"
One of the men smiled obscenely, but before she could speak, Selena said: "I have enough time tonight to have fun with you, but..."
Selena smiled sweetly, and the other driver winked at his companion. The companion coughed and said, "You can only go to the carriage. Get off the car as soon as you get there, and give me the money."….
Selina threw the money in the cab and took Bruce into the carriage. This car was transporting frozen beef. There was a strange smell in the carriage. Bruce and Selina found a box to sit down.
, after a bumpy ride, we finally reached our destination.
After getting off the car, Bruce asked Selina: "Did they just want to..."
Selena shook her head and said, "They just talk nonsense and don't dare to let me enter the cab."
"There are no women to mess with in the East District. They would rather spend money to go whore than approach a woman who takes a taxi in the middle of the night, because as a prostitute, you only need to pay and let me get in the car, which may mean losing your life."
When they arrived at the living hell, Selena didn't take anything, so she went directly to the room. After a while, there was a banging sound on the door. Selena didn't open the door, but just slid the rent money under the door.
After sending it out, the other party stopped knocking.
Bruce looked at the room. This room was much better than the one he lived in before. It not only had one bedroom and one living room, but also had a balcony facing south, a toilet, a kitchen, and even a shower room. This room was almost out of the scope of the East District.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an apartment building between the South District and the North District.
Selena pulled Bruce to sit on the sofa. She lit a cigarette and said to Bruce, "Now, you can always tell me what happened these days, right?"
And Bruce was finally willing to speak and tell about his experiences these past few days.
In the process of narrating, he emphasized the traps he might encounter, the experience of being deceived, and the various encounters that would make him fall back into the trough. But Selena did not show any surprise at all. He just listened quietly.
With.
Bruce finally finished everything. He said: "This is why I feel ridiculous. People here have no room for error. As long as they make a wrong step, they may..."
"Who told you?" Sai
Lina squinted her eyes and said, "Bruce, why didn't I realize before that you are such a stubborn person??"
"Why haven't you thought about it? You weren't born here, so you don't have relatives or friends. You didn't join a gang, so you don't have brothers here. You are an orphan, so of course you will have a hard time."
Selena covered her forehead and sighed, "I never thought you were a stupid person, but I must say it today, why can't your mind turn around???"
Seeing Bruce's slightly confused look, Selina said, "Take me as an example. My dad died a long time ago, and my mom doesn't care about me. I joined the thieves gang a long time ago. This doesn't sound like a good thing.
Right?"
"However, I still keep in touch with the sisters I met when I was a child. The house I rented before was introduced to me by one of my sisters, and it was at a discounted price!"
"My mother, the thief who taught me my skills, was right to ask me to steal things for her, but through her, I also got to know a lot of people who sell stolen goods. These people have connections to various gangs and can steal the things I steal.
For selling, there is a market right next to the place where I lived before. If I want to buy something, I just go to them to buy it. They are all acquaintances and will not cheat me."
"Later, I started working as a snitch. I was very familiar with the famous snitches in the East District. We would occasionally play together and exchange information and experiences with each other."
"Also, don't I know how to do gymnastics? I will bring some little girls to help me and teach them stealing skills. Their gang will give me money and help me with errands. I can order newspapers and milk at discounted prices.
.”
"Also, when buying groceries and cooking, the first time you eat and have diarrhea, it's not because your intestines are not used to it, but because the place you go to is designed to deceive outsiders."
"Do you know what I usually eat?" Selina asked, looking into Bruce's eyes. Bruce shook his head. Selina glanced at her watch and said, "Well, it's not bad to have a midnight snack now. Come with me."
.”
Selina took Bruce out of the living hell again, and took a ride in the same way to a more prosperous place in the East End. There were many restaurants here and there were truck drivers lining up for dinner everywhere.
But Selina did not queue up with them. Instead, she found a darkened shop at the end of the street. She pulled Bruce and sat in. Bruce looked at the environment of the shop and said:
"You'd better make sure you can take me to a place to treat gastroenteritis, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll finish eating this time..."
The next second, the steaming rice was brought to the pot. Bruce was surprised to find that what was placed in front of him was beef with marble-like patterns. Yes, it was the kind that cost hundreds of dollars a meal.
