Chapter 2523: Battle for the Cloak (Fifty-Three)

Chapter 2497: The Battle for the Cape (Fifty-three)

Bruce had a piece of fluff stuck to his finger.

It was light blue, very short, and very small. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all, but he knew where it came from. He was very familiar with it.

In order to protect the crime scene, the police would need to use shoe covers. The shoe covers of the police station were purchased and configured uniformly. The same material would leave the same traces.

The house Bruce rented was very small. There were only a few steps from the front door to the bedroom, and there must be a wall. He was squatting by this wall, staring at the fluff on his hand that was obviously left by the shoe covers of the police station.

He stood up and pushed open the bedroom door. Gordon turned his eyes to look at him, as if he knew what he was going to say.

"Who has been here?" Bruce asked.

"Ge Yin." Gordon said, "I'm too worried about the Claw Killer, but she obviously made too many mistakes in the investigation and arrest process. I have some suggestions for her."

"I don't want more children to be harmed by this." Gordon showed a painful expression, turned his head and said, "I know I promised you that I would not let more police appear in your life, but this is the only exception, Bruce, for the last time."

Bruce frowned slightly when mentioning the Claw Killer, but he still put down his arms and said, "Leave the police to the police, James, you are not the sheriff now."

"Of course." Gordon looked at the ceiling with his eyes blank and said, "I said, this is the last time."

Bruce's eyes stayed on the radio he was holding, but he quickly moved his eyes away and walked out of the bedroom. He saw that the news on TV was about the Claw Killer again.

However, the difference is that this time the news mentioned that Spider-Man, who has been active in the sky over New York recently, seems to have confronted this killer. The former is investigating and hunting the latter, and the police said that perhaps this kind of super criminal should be dealt with by superheroes.

Bruce showed a look of annoyance.

Spider-Man saw a familiar figure after school. It was Bruce, but he was being chased by several strong men.

Spider-Man didn't care about that. He rushed up immediately, knocked down the strong men with a few punches, and saved Bruce.

"What's wrong with you?" Spider-Man asked.

Bruce wiped the corner of his injured mouth, stood up and said, "I'm fine."

He was about to leave, Spider-Man quickly grabbed him, looked at the group of people and asked, "Who are they? Why are they chasing you? Aren't you going to call the police?"

Bruce was very secretive and didn't want to say more. He just waved his hand to Spider-Man and said, "Go home quickly, it has nothing to do with you."

"Why has it nothing to do with me? They dared to chase you here in broad daylight. Don't the police care?"

"They are the creditors' people." Bruce lowered his eyes and said, "Debts must be paid, it's natural How can the police handle it?"

"You owe them money?" Spider-Man immediately understood, he looked at Bruce and said: "You borrowed from loan sharks? Why did you do this?"

"Because I have no money."

"You...what do you want so much money for?"

"I broke a very expensive limited edition gift box, and my boss lost a big customer, I have to pay for it."

"What happened?" Spider-Man remembered that Jason said that the doll they bought was actually broken by Bruce before, which shows that he is really clumsy at work.

However, Spider-Man still decided to ask what happened, so he took Bruce to a hamburger restaurant he often went to at the school gate, decided to treat Bruce to dinner, and then asked what happened recently.

The two ordered two sets of meals and sat by the window of the hamburger shop. Bruce took a big bite of the hamburger and said, "Yesterday, my boss asked me to give a birthday present to one of his old customers for their child's 8th birthday. It was a limited edition toy set they ordered from Belgium. It was customized half a year in advance, and there was only one set. It was rare and expensive."

"My boss has always wanted to move the store to this customer's community. It is a wealthy area, and more people will be willing to buy gifts. If this matter is done well, the store can be moved there smoothly, and an opening party can be held to accumulate a lot of customers."

"Did you mess it up?"

Bruce sighed and said, "Originally No, I was driving my boss's car on the road, with the gift in the trunk. Who knew that the car in front of me lost control for some reason, not only overturned, but also turned sideways. I didn't have time to brake, and became a member of the chain car accident. "

"Fortunately, only the front of the car was hit. I took the gift out of the trunk and planned to bypass the accident scene first and then take a taxi. As a result, I don't know why, the people behind me all ran in a hurry and squeezed me to the side of the road. "

"A big guy was only concerned with running and didn't see me at all. He knocked me to the ground directly, and the gift box flew out of his hand. As a result, a truck that also failed to brake in time overturned on the side of the road and hit the box. "

"Of course the gifts are all broken." Bruce turned his head away and said, "I came to the client's house empty-handed, and then was kicked out. The boss's relocation plan fell through, and I was fired."

"But the gift set is very expensive, I must compensate, otherwise I will be sued and go to jail, and then Gordon will be completely unattended, but I don't have that much money."

"I didn't have any savings, and now I've lost one job. The remaining two jobs can't make so much money in a short period of time. I can only choose to borrow a loan."

"But my credit score is not enough, and I don't have any assets to pledge. Regular banks won't lend me money. When I was working before, I met a colleague who was a loaner, and he helped me contact the gang."

Spider-Man covered his forehead, but he suddenly reacted. He looked at Bruce and asked, "Which road did you take when you delivered the goods?"

"From Queens to Manhattan's Third Avenue, just go around Hall Street and drive a little further. There is a bridge in front of you."

Spider-Man was suddenly stunned, because he remembered that he caught the Claw Killer on that road yesterday.

Because the killer has been active recently, Spider-Man quickly caught up with him. When he tried to hide under the children's toy slide to ambush the children again, Spider-Man rushed up directly.

But this guy is really not human. Not only can he teleport, but his claws are elusive, and Spider-Man almost had his uniform cut.

But he would not let go of the killer who threatened so many families so easily, so he used his spider-sensing ability and greatly improved strength to deal with the claw killer several times.

During the battle, Spider-Man learned that this guy was called Freddy, from the Elm Street District. He seemed to have a special interest in children and was very cruel and perverted.

In this way, Spider-Man could not let him go. Although the little spider did not have much combat experience, the power of the spider mutation was indeed very strong. He caught Freddy and beat him up.

Freddy did not seem to want to entangle with him. After finding that he could not beat him, he turned around and ran away. Spider-Man chased him without thinking.

The chase that followed was a classic. Freddy appeared in one car after another, scaring the drivers to swerve, causing serious traffic accidents and traffic jams.

Spider-Man knew that he was playing this trick just to stop him, so he was not fooled at all. He swung over the car at the fastest speed, punched the car window, and pulled Freddy out. After he disappeared, he locked the target at the fastest speed and kicked him out of the billboard.

Spider-Man certainly saw the serious traffic accident and the people fleeing in panic, but at that time he only had eyes for this damn murderer, and he wanted to bring him to justice immediately, so he just chased him all the way and had no time to stop to mediate traffic.

What Spider-Man was most sure of was that the culprit of Bruce's current situation was the overturned truck he encountered. At that time, the truck was falling in front of him, and Freddy got out of the front of the truck and escaped like a loach.

He pulled the driver out of the cab to prevent him from being hurt again, but he didn't notice that there was a gift box on the ground where the truck overturned.

"Do you know what happened?" Spider-Man asked with a guilty look.

Bruce shook his head and said, "The police who arrived later said that a superhero named Spider-Man was chasing the killer."

"Superhero?" Bruce put down the paper of the hamburger and muttered to himself, "... not to me anyway."

Spider-Man returned home with a lot of thoughts in his mind. Jason's illness has improved a little. He is now cooking in the kitchen, and two dishes are already on the table.

Jason's street life has trained him to have good cooking skills, especially Gotham stew. In short, just throw some ingredients suitable for stew into the pot, and then add a lot of chili peppers, and the taste is pretty good.

Putting a large pot of stew on the table, Jason sat opposite Spider-Man, looked at his face and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so depressed?"

Spider-Man opened his mouth, fell silent, and said after a while, "I seem to be in trouble."

He put his hands on the table and briefly explained what happened. Jason also sighed and said nothing.

"I thought you would persuade me." Spider-Man said, "Say something like as long as you are worthy of yourself."

"We all know that's a lie." Jason said very bluntly, "If everyone only thinks about being worthy of themselves, then the world would have been over long ago."

"Do we have the power to be the judge?" Spider-Man asked, "What qualifications do we have to make such a decision to exchange one person's future for another person's life safety?"

Jason shook his head. He didn't want to think about these problems now. During the days of illness, he felt the warmth of home from Peter Parker's uncle and aunt for the first time in a long time.

The Batcave wasn't bad, but you couldn't expect a statue named Batman to provide you with anything other than the necessary survival conditions and combat instructions. Alfred was also very busy, and he was old, so Jason never felt comfortable giving him any extra trouble.

But the Parkers are not like this. They have a kind of enthusiasm from the inside out, as if if you don't bother them, you don't regard them as your own people. This is the most common kindness of the petty citizens.

Jason was taken very good care of here, a little too well. Aunt May made delicious food every day regardless of time and place. What she said "you can taste" actually meant that you should go to the sofa now to show off this plate of snacks, and then go back to the house and fall asleep until fat quietly multiplies in every part of your body, until your heart becomes comfortable and soft.

Is such a life really bad? Jason couldn't give a definite answer. He only knew that the members of the Parker family were very happy, at least much happier than himself and Batman.

Then maybe it's not bad to choose to live like this. Since you can't and don't want to, and you don't have a position, then just be an ordinary person among the masses, and spend your life in more subtle happiness and worries. What's wrong with that?
