Chapter 792: Deadly Joke (XIX)

Selina took two steps forward, held Bruce's face with both hands and said, "Sorry, honey, Maggie told me before that you had a mental problem, but I didn't quite believe it. Now I do."

"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 should at least be able to see that this boot is a fake, right? "

Selina shook Bruce's head away, pointed at his boots and said, "Even if you can't see the details, can't you see that its upper and sole are not the same color? Are you color blind?!

!"

At the end of the words, Selina started to yell, and Bruce was speechless to 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 the combat boots of the Batsuit. Except that they look like shoes, they have nothing to do with shoes. When he was Bruce, he usually only wore leather shoes.

What? You asked what to do on rainy days?

On rainy days, when Bruce was going somewhere, he would call and ask the other party to prepare blankets. When the car arrived at the door, before he stepped out, the waiter would take a thick pile of waterproof blankets and umbrellas and spread them from the door to the hall. If the shoes were stained with a drop of rain, the waiter would be scolded.

Now, the pair of rain boots Bruce was wearing had a slight color difference between the upper and the sole. The upper was ordinary green, while the sole was military green. Bruce recalled that the light was very bad at the place where he bought the shoes. After the boss handed them to him, he looked at them carefully, but didn't think there was anything wrong with the color.

Selina sighed and said, "My dear young master, these shoes are made of soles that others don't want, and then made of low-quality rubber uppers and spliced ​​together. They are fine when you first wear them, but once they are soaked in water for a long time, water will immediately seep in. Don't even mention buying them for five dollars, I won't wear them even if you give me five dollars!"

Selina put her arm around Bruce's neck and said, "It seems that you have done a lot of stupid things in the past month. Let's find a safe place, tell me the details, and we can go and get the money back..."

Bruce really wanted to say no, but looking at Selina's eyes, he still didn't say it.

Selena took him to a very dark alley, and 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 did you think of me?"

"Madam, we want to find 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 lived in before? Why don't you live there anymore?"

Selena rolled her eyes and said, "Don't mention it. I'm tired of Hef, that soft egg. I want to find a house in the living hell. It doesn't matter if the price is a little 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 carefully and said, "There are two vacant rooms in the northern part of the living hell. The conditions are good, but The rent is quite expensive, 8 dollars 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 in the South District. The newspapers and milk are already ordered. You can just move in. 6 dollars a week, no price increase, how about it?"

Selena nodded and said, "Please help me say hello to the gangs there. I will go out occasionally at night. Oh, by the way, I will occasionally bring men back. Tell them not to make a fuss..."

"The living hell area doesn't worry about this kind of thing now." The old lady flipped through the newspaper in her hand and said, "You get what you pay for. You will know when you live there."

Selena took out her wallet, took out 20 cents from it, handed it to the old lady, smiled and said goodbye, then waved and left.

On the way, Selina explained to Bruce: "There are many such old women in the East District. They are usually the socialites of the previous generation. Many of them are the lovers of gangsters." "When they get older, men no longer like them, but they are doing well. They are familiar with the gangsters and can easily enter the mansions. They know social etiquette and can meet those big shots. They are very influential in the East District. It is right to rent a house from them." Bruce nodded in confusion, but he was not upset about it, because he really didn't know about it, and anyone who just came here should not know it. Selina pulled him to the side of the road again and said, "Let's take a ride." "Hike? What ride?" Bruce asked. "It's a ride. This place is far away from the living hell. Don't tell me that you want to walk there. You will be exhausted... The car is coming!" Bruce turned his head and saw a big truck coming, the same truck he drove to work before.

Selina stretched out her hand to stop him, but after a glance, she took her hand back. The big truck sped past them, and Bruce turned to look at Selina.

"This truck won't work. He won't take us." Selina shrugged and said, "There's cargo on his truck. He should be a night driver. Such drivers are busy working and won't have time to deal with others."

Then, another truck drove by, but Selina still didn't wave. He continued to explain, "This one won't work either. This is a female driver who won't let male passengers get on the bus."

"Oh, this one... this one won't work either. This driver is too thin, not as strong as you. She will definitely be suspicious when she sees you."

"Oh! This one!" Selina finally stretched out her hand and waved hard. The truck stopped. Two strong men sat in the cab, with tattoos all over their bodies and hideous faces.

But Selena was not afraid at all. She approached, holding two bills in her hand and said, "Hey, man, I want to take a ride to the living hell. Are you free?"

One of the men smiled obscenely, but before he could speak, Selena said, "I have enough time tonight to accompany you, but..."

Selena smiled sweetly, and the other driver winked at his companion. The companion coughed and said, "You can only go to the car. Get off the car when you get to the place. Give me the money."...

Selena threw the money in her hand into the cab and walked into the car with Bruce. This car was transporting frozen beef. There was a strange smell in the car. Bruce and Selena found a box to sit down. After a bumpy ride, they finally arrived at the destination.

After getting off the car, Bruce asked Selina: "Did they just want to..."

Selina shook her head and said: "They just talked nonsense and didn't dare to let me into the cab."

"There are no women in the East District who are easy to mess with. They would rather spend money to go whoring than approach women who take taxis in the middle of the night, because being a prostitute only requires paying money. If I get in the car, I may lose my life."

When she arrived at the living hell, Selina didn't take anything and went straight to the room. After a while, there was a "bang bang bang" sound of knocking on the door. Selina didn't open the door, but just sent the rent out through the crack under the door. Sure enough, the other party stopped knocking.

Bruce looked at the room. This room is much better than the one he lived in before. Not only does it have one bedroom and one living room, but the balcony faces south, there is a toilet with a kitchen, and even a shower room. This is 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.

Selina pulled Bruce to sit on the sofa, she lit a cigarette and said to Bruce: "Now, you can finally tell me what happened in the past few days, right?"

And Bruce was finally willing to speak and tell about his experiences in the past few days.

In the process of narration, he emphasized the traps he might encounter, the experience of being deceived, and various experiences that made him fall into the trough again, but Selina did not show any surprise, she just listened quietly.

Bruce finally finished telling everything. He said, "This is why I feel ridiculous. People here have no tolerance for mistakes. If they take a wrong step, they may..."

"Who told you?" Selina squinted her eyes and said, "Bruce, why didn't I realize that you are such a stubborn person before?"

"Why didn't you think that you were not born here, so you have no relatives or friends. You didn't join a gang, so you have no brothers. Here, you are an orphan, so of course you will have a hard time."

Selina covered her forehead and sighed, saying, "I never thought you were a stupid person, but I must say today, why is your brain so hard to turn around???"

Looking at Bruce's slightly confused expression, Selina said, "Take me as an example. My father died a long time ago, and my mother didn't care about me. I joined the Thieves Gang early on. This doesn't sound like a good thing, right?"

"But, the sisters I knew when I was a child are still in touch. The house I rented before was introduced to me by one of my sisters, and there is a preferential price!"

"It's true that the thief mom who taught me the skills asked me to steal for her, but through her, I also met a lot of people who sell stolen goods. This group of people have connections with various gangs and can sell the things I stole. There is a market next to the place where I lived before. If I want to buy something, I go to them to buy it. They are all acquaintances and will not cheat me."

"Later, I started to be a thief. I am very familiar with the famous thieves in the East District. Occasionally, we will play together, exchange information and experience with each other."

"Also, don't I know gymnastics? I will take some little girls from the children's gang and teach them the skills of stealing. Their gangs will give me money and help me with things. I can subscribe to newspapers and milk at a discount."

"Also, buying vegetables and cooking. You had diarrhea when you ate at first, not because your intestines were not adapted, but because the place you went to was specifically for cheating 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, "Okay, 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 to a more prosperous place in the East District in the same way. There were many restaurants here, and truck drivers were queuing up everywhere.

But Selina did not queue up with them. Instead, she found a dark little shop at the end of the street. She pulled Bruce 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 hot rice was served in the pot. Bruce was surprised to find that in front of him was beef with marble patterns. Yes, it was the kind that cost hundreds of dollars a meal.
