Chapter 2242: Late Autumn in Golden City (VI)

Chapter 2216: Late Autumn in Jincheng (VI)

Talia finally decided to attend the dinner, but she encountered a very realistic problem, that is, she had no clothes.

Pamela said: "I like the two long skirts you brought. They are very unique in your style, but they are not usually the kind that the upper class likes."

"And if I remember correctly, the organizer of the banquet, Professor Rodriguez, has seen these two skirts. Wearing old clothes may not be popular."

"That's just one of the strategies against Bruce Wayne." Talia stroked her hair and said: "It doesn't represent my personal style. In fact, it will be even less popular with the upper class."

"So are you going to buy a new dress?" Pamela sat on the corner of the bed and said: "It's still early now, maybe we can go shopping."

Talia confirmed the things she had to do, and then found that she really didn't have anything important to do. She really shouldn't use this time to get information, even if it's just to learn more about the terrain of Gotham.

But now is not a good time to wander around, because the roads are closed everywhere, the streets are full of gangs, and the whole city is preparing for the opening ceremony. Suspicious people like Talia will be listed as the first suspect. For a killer, it is not a good thing to attract attention.

So she would rather stay in the hotel and chat with Pamela than go out to do what she should do.

She walked to the hotel window and looked down, and found that there was a traffic jam below, so she said: "Are you sure we can get to the commercial street smoothly?"

"We won't go to the commercial street. The clothes sold there are not suitable for dinner parties. It is definitely too late to customize a dress, but we can go to Green Street. The ready-made clothes there are obviously much better than the shopping mall."

The two of them decided to set off. Pamela had changed into a dress-not a dinner style, but a beautiful champagne gold suspender collar dress, and her hair was casually tied up.

Talia didn't wear a skirt, but a short sports top with a pair of trousers, and her hair was draped.

Because the collared dress was made of silk, the wrinkles on the chest were very afraid of being pressed, so Pamela did not bring a bag, and Talia carried a small bag, which contained their mobile phones, wallets, sunscreen spray, umbrellas and other things.

After checking out of the hotel, the two of them walked to Green Street, which was about 600 meters away. The two walked along the parasols on the street.

In the past, Gotham was not a city very suitable for walking, but this does not mean that its streetscape is not beautiful, and it is not even entirely a public security problem. The main reason is that the level of community governance is too poor and the infrastructure is not up to standard.

When walking on the street, there is an overturned trash can every three steps, and a flower pot that falls down from the building every five steps. There is almost no landscape or shrubs. Because there is no sun, there is no need for awnings, resulting in no place to hide when it rains.

In order to prepare for the music festival, the city was cleaned up, mainly because the entire city reconstruction project has reached the point where the city appearance must be cleaned up. Most of the problems have been solved before, and later it is just to check for deficiencies and make up for them.

Green Street is an extremely important street in Gotham's history. It was once a glorious historical portrayal of the four major families in Gotham. During the most prosperous period, there were about twelve streets here, which were brightly lit every night. Gotham's celebrities were here all night long. Although the four major families are no longer the same as before, the buildings and atmosphere they left behind are still very unique. They are not completely luxurious retro, nor decadent and extravagant, but a kind of Gothic art with a unique dark style. When Talia first stepped into this street, even though it was no longer rainy, the dark and low sky still appeared in front of her, and the thick dark clouds that were about to fall at any time, and the black umbrellas that were denser than raindrops poured in. The leather shoes stepped on the puddles on the red carpet and walked into the door full of golden light. The sky in the distance was lead gray and cold blue, the statues on the black and gray building exterior walls, the Persian scimitars flashed cold light, and the facial expressions of the characters in the Catholic theme sculptures were particularly cold. When looking up at the sky, it seemed that she saw something darker and more terrifying. Figures flowed between the window screens with golden light. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Blood gradually flowed out of the back door of an inconspicuous dark street, and was washed into the sewer by the rain until it disappeared completely. No screams could be heard. It was exquisite, delicate, calm and panic.

Obviously, Talia was not the first person to be shocked by this atmosphere. It was not until tourists continued to pour into this street that the city government department realized that we had such a tourist attraction.

Then those mansions that were originally deserted were transformed into hotels to receive tourists. Soon, tourists from all over the world flocked to them. Talia asked the parking attendant in front of the door about the price of the hotel and got an answer that almost choked her to death.

"2,000 US dollars a night, why don't they rob it?!!" Talia strode through the front door of the hotel and turned back to Pamela and said, "Where did you find so many rich guys? Even this is full."

"There is a special reason for this." Pamela stopped Talia next to the hotel, then pointed to an alley and said, "See there? This alley is a famous attraction. People usually call it Crime Alley."

"17 years ago, a gunshot here led to the most famous murder case in 20 years - the Wayne couple, the actual controllers of the Wayne Group, were both shot and killed, and to date, this is still an unsolved case."

"But they are still alive."

"It's worth $1,800." Pamela spread her hands and said, "People want to know what the truth was back then. Some people say that this was directed and acted by the Wayne couple themselves, just for the power struggle within the Wayne Group. Some people say that it was done by Little Wayne, but his parents chose to forgive him."

"Of course, there are more outrageous versions, such as the Wayne couple went to heaven because of their good deeds, but found out that they still had unfinished tasks in the world, so they came back here, and the most popular version of their repair After performing black magic, death and rebirth are just a part of extending life. "

"So which one is true?"

"No one knows." Pamela shook her head and said, "That's why everyone hopes to find clues, or simply has a hypothesis and just wants to verify it."

Pamela pointed to the building next to the alley and said, "Now the rooms on these two sides of the hotel are the most popular. They have been booked for a long time. The prices of other rooms have also soared, second only to the Wayne Hotel luxury suite where you can see Batman."

"You make me feel that this world is a group of lunatics meeting." Talia bluntly expressed her true feelings and said, "The lunatic organization, the lunatic leader, the lunatic participation, and then the lunatics are very happy."

She spread her hands and said a little collapsed, "How can Bruce Wayne not mind others using the scene where the murderer shot his parents as a tourist attraction, and more importantly, how can the person involved not mind."

"They just don't mind." Pamela shrugged and said.

Along the way, we saw many crows landing on black street lights, followed by flocks of sparrows and some of them were a bit too big.

Talia saw a group of people putting a row of cameras on the roof. She didn't understand what they were doing. Pamela explained to her: "These are bird-watching enthusiasts."

"Bird watching is a very difficult thing. Except for some special species of water birds, most birds have a very magical characteristic, that is, when the camera is not aimed at them, they are as quiet as sculptures. As long as the camera passes by, Superman may not be able to catch up with them."

"But the root cause of this problem is that the birds are too small. The camera technology required to track the movement of such a small object is too high, but if it is magnified 20 times, it will be very simple."

"It just so happens that Gotham has giant individuals of various birds, sparrows, blackbirds, kestrels, and tits, sea eagles and orioles in the suburbs."

Talia could see a row of birds like water ducks flying past from a distance on the skyline, landing in the dense jungle and disappearing.

"In the past few months, the number of plants in Gotham has almost tripled. Do you have any opinion on this?" Talia looked at Pamela and asked knowingly.

"In fact, it is far more than three times. Those seedlings and mosses that you can't see are the main force. They will grow vigorously in the next few months and then become the raw materials for gardening."

"You saved the mayor a lot of money."

"So I have made some money. In fact, I have already looked at houses."

They continued to move forward and finally came across the first tailor shop. Unfortunately, it was selling men's clothing. Pamela held the wooden door and looked at the ties hanging on the door frame. The old man inside, whose glasses slipped to the tip of his nose, looked at them and said, "There must be a big man who is going to hold a banquet, right? This is great. Gotham hasn't had such a grand occasion for decades."

"How much did you sell this thing for?" Pamela was obviously more practical. She looked at the tie on the door frame and said, "You sell it to those tourists for $60, right?"

The old man laughed and said, "Silly girl, this is real silk. It won't be sold for less than $200."

Pamela sneered and pulled Talia away. Talia left. Leah turned to look at the tie and said, "The pattern is really special. It looks like a ball of dark clouds. I think my father might like it."

"Don't be a sucker. I think it's too expensive even if it's $5. There's a largest fabric market about 500 meters away. There are a lot of factory fabrics like this. There's nothing special except the pattern."

They continued to move forward until a scent came from the door. A neatly dressed black guy kept waving at them, "Madam, madam, two ladies, there are fruit plates, coffee, freshly baked bread, cold drinks, hot drinks, scarves, umbrellas, suitcases, and scooters behind the door. Come in and take a look."

Pamela came over with some curiosity. When she looked inside, she found that it was actually a large market with shops densely arranged together. She stepped back a few steps and looked up. She said with some confusion, "I remember this was a dance floor before? Why did it become a shopping mall?"

"I'm a little hungry, let's go in and eat something."

Pamela was still vigilant. She said, "Don't make any noise later. The foreign accent may make us spend twice as much money."

"Aren't you already looking at houses?"

"But they can't charge me a penny more."

They walked in and found that there were a lot of people inside. There was even a crowded road. Talia wanted to drink an iced coffee, so they stopped in front of a store.

Pamela walked up and bargained with the boss in an authentic local accent. Suddenly, a scream came from behind her. She turned around and found that it was Talia.

Talia touched her bag and said in shock: "Where is my wallet? I put it in my pocket. How could it be possible..."

Talia was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She was not a female college student who came to shop on weekends. She was a killer who had been professionally trained for at least 20 years. But in such a shopping mall full of tourists, someone touched her bag. How could it be possible?

But Pamela only thought for less than a second before she raised her eyebrows, looked around fiercely and shouted.

"Catwoman!! Get out here!!!!!!"

The structure of the bat suit is not something I made up, it is an official setting, I'll see if I can post a picture in the comment section, if not, I'll go to the group
