Chapter 456 Praying Mantis Catching Cicadas
New York, this luxurious place has a lot of places to spend money and nightlife. Such as various bars and some indescribable places.
And one of the most important functions of these places is to provide people with various alcoholic beverages. Whether you simply want to drink, or plan to do something after drinking. Alcohol is always the prelude to the beginning of nightlife.
Whether you're in Manhattan, Queens, or Brooklyn, you'll find something similar.
Because you can never kill people's obsession with alcohol and pornography. This is one of the most primitive human impulses.
Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians discovered the method of fermenting wheat and made the first cup of wine in human history.
This intoxicating liquid is sought after and welcomed by humans. Alcohol has been strictly controlled by the government since ancient times.
In ancient times, it was because winemaking would consume a lot of grain, and grain is an important strategic resource of the country. Therefore, the state should control the brewing of wine.
In modern times, it is caused by various violent incidents and sudden diseases caused by drinking and drunkenness. Alcohol has always been regulated by the state.
The most severe of these is the alcohol prohibition enacted in the United States in the 1920s and 1930s. Any drink with an alcohol content higher than 2 percent is illegal in the United States.
This was fueled by the Puritans at the time, but it also showed the government's concern about the social problems caused by alcohol.
For example, various violent incidents caused by drunk people, even shooting cases and so on. In a way, people who get drunk are actually a lot like those addicts who take hallucinogens that cause their brains to twitch.
Because they can't control what they do. Just like Russia today.
Every winter in Russia, there are not a few people who are drunk and then freeze to death on the streets in winter. There are also incidents of domestic violence following drinking at home.
Some people say that Russia is a fighting nation, but trust me, you don't like living with a bunch of drunk fighting people.
The U.S. government promulgated the Prohibition Act out of similar considerations, but of course it failed in the end.
You can't control people's cravings for alcohol. Like what happened on a certain bar street in Queens today.
A beautiful girl is drinking with two male companions. It's hard to say what purpose these two boys came to invite the girl to drink.
They toasted the girls frequently: "Jane, today is my first day in your job. We need to celebrate."
The boy raised his glass to toast the girl again. The girl named Jane doesn't really want to drink anymore.
Because she is not a good drinker. The two people who invited her to drink today were the ones who introduced her to the current nursing work.
It's not a bad job to be a nurse in a private hospital, at least the salary is good. So it's not easy for Jane to refuse the invitation of these two men, just to drink two glasses of wine. Jane's idea is very simple.
But now she does feel that she drank a little too much: "This is the last drink, I need to go back. I drank a little too much today."
Jane felt dizzy, barely drank the last sip of beer in her hand, and she was about to leave here and go home.
Now she misses the big bed at home very much, and really wants to throw herself on the bed to sleep.
"Hey, Jane. It's still early, it's not even half past ten, so there's no need to rush back." One of the men held Jane's hand and said, looking like he still wanted to drink her.
"Let go, let go." Jane struggled hard twice, but didn't struggle to let go. She was a little fuzzy from drinking.
"It's okay, let's continue to drink. We can take you home later." The two men said that they were going to drag Jane to the bar.
How could Jane's strength be on par with the two men? She could only yell, "Let go!"
But at this time, there were no people on the street, no one would wander around the streets at this time, and naturally no one came to help Jane out.
Just when the two men were about to drag the room back to the bar, suddenly a hand stretched out and opened the hands of the two men holding Jane.
"Let go! Didn't hear that this lady doesn't want to drink with you, does she want to go home and rest!" The person who spoke was a woman wearing a white suit and the same white mask.
"If you are entangled, I will call the police now!" The woman who jumped out suddenly took out her phone and really started calling the police.
This made the two men let go. "Cut!" The two snorted disdainfully. Recently, there are more and more people like this masked lady.
This is the vigilante suddenly appearing on the streets of New York City.
Some of this group of people are people with superpowers, but more are just ordinary people. Because of the incentive of the Nightcrawler video. And the new law and order regulations introduced by the New York City Police Department have attracted more and more people to join the ranks of the street vigilantes.
"Don't be afraid, ma'am, I'm a street hero officially registered on the website of the Night Watch Alliance, named Moonbird." The lady in a white uniform and mask introduced herself briefly to Jane.
"When I have time, I will come to such a bar street and send those drunk ladies home safely."
Jane's mind was a little drowsy, but she still understood what Yueniao said: "Night watchman? So do you have superpowers?"
In fact, Jane is already talking very loudly, and she didn't feel it in the bar before. But after coming out and blowing the wind, she couldn't even stand firmly, and needed the support of Moon Bird to walk.
"Super power? I'm sorry, I don't have it." Moonbird smiled: "But I have a stun gun and pepper spray. Drunk girls in bars are very dangerous, and one-third of sexual assault cases in the United States are It happened in this way. And because of the drunk relationship, it is usually difficult for the court to determine whether it is sexual assault or voluntary."
Moon Bird said seriously: "So I don't think it's a good thing for a girl to come out and drink like this."
Jane smiled: "I don't usually drink alcohol. It's just that there is a special situation today. But I really appreciate you helping me today. I will go..."
Before Jane finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth and ran to the corner of the alley on the side and started vomiting. She really drank too much.
"Are you okay?" Yueniao also stepped into the alley and asked about Jane's situation with concern, and at the same time helped to pat Jane's back to make her vomit more comfortably.
And just as Yueniao walked into the alley, the two men who had been filling Jane with wine also appeared at the entrance of the alley. They're crazy. It's not without reason that I drink Jane.
It's very uncomfortable to be interrupted by this guy called Moon Bird now. However, this lady named Moon Bird looks tall and slender, and she also looks very good with a wheat-colored complexion. Maybe it was earned today?
Just when the two big men walked into the alley, they didn't know that there were two pairs of smart little eyes looking at them above them.
Mindy patted Laura on the shoulder: "Look, our prey is here! But it's a pity we can't kill them, otherwise Big Daddy and the others will definitely find out who did it."
Mindy's killing methods have become a habit, and the Night Watch team who knows her well can easily find her through her methods.
"Actually, it's not necessary to kill them. That would cause unnecessary trouble. Just teach them a lesson!" Laura doesn't like killing people if it's not necessary.
The two unlucky guys didn't know yet that they would be the first target of the New York Tongmeng Association's first flag sacrifice.
ps: Moon Bird comes from the cartoon Hai Bian Wang
