Chapter 1396: Say my name (9)

Translator: 549690339

In the “bright” Gotham City, there would always be night.
Whenever night fell, the hazy sky and the whistling north wind … Would always make some people recall a period of time.
In the not-so-distant past, this place was still a City of Sin filled with corruption.
At that time, the officials and the gangs called each other brothers, and the police were the protective umbrella for the criminals … The whole of Gotham was like a dark and cold concrete forest. At night, the streets would be filled with low or sad roars … As if they would never stop.
However, all of that had become a thing of the past … At least, that was what it looked like on the surface.!!
…………
Evening, 7:30 am, east side of Gotham.
Three years ago, East Borough was a terrible place, or rather … The worst place in all of Gotham.
If you thought the ruffians at Robinson Park were bad, it was because you had never seen the half-beggar, half-robber drug addicts in front of Fenger Memorial. If you thought these drug addicts were bad, it was because you had never seen the homeless people lying on the ground like stranded dead fish in front of the spolang Rescue Station.
However, compared to the situation in East Borough, these people were considered “passable.”
Back then, East Borough was a red-light district that even the corrupt police were unwilling to step into. Prostitutes with bruised noses and swollen faces could be seen everywhere on the streets (for these women, it was common to be beaten by pimps), and even young prostitutes; The violent and crazy criminals dared to commit crimes in full view of the public, but the people around them would ignore them as if they didn’t see them.
Even after three years, this district still had the highest crime rate in Gotham.
Cheap bars, cheap hotels, cheap apartments, cheap shops … Everything here was cheap. It was this ‘cheapness’ that allowed the people at the bottom of the class to survive.
However,”survival” and “life” were different. Poverty was an easy trigger for crime. This was a principle that had never changed.
Therefore, this ‘cheap’ place naturally became the last gray area in the game.
…………
“Phew … So this is the air of the slums …” Feng bujue, who stepped into the place, consciously took a deep breath of the turbid air. He raised his head to look at the neon-lit Street and mumbled with emotion,”even though it doesn’t smell good, it gives one a sense of security …”
Of course, he knew that he had to come to the East District to find clues about those supervillains.
However, he did not head straight to this place as soon as he stepped into downtown Gotham. Before coming to the east side, Feng bujue went to two other places.
The first place was a Research Institute under the name of a pharmaceutical company, located on the edge of the city.
That place was not far from the sewer exit that brother Jue had used to enter the city, so he had basically entered it on the way.
As a person who had a good understanding of the various storylines in DC Universe, Feng bujue naturally knew that this was the company where ‘master Freeze’ worked. It was actually very easy to find villains like him who had a serious job before …
Sneaking into the facility of a private enterprise was not a difficult task. To brother Jue, it was as easy as taking something out of his pocket … He found a cleaner’s one-piece jacket in the tool room and put it on. He sneaked into the office area, and not long after, he found the person he was looking for in the lounge on the second floor, the cryogenist ‘Victor Ferris.’
After conversing with the man and his few colleagues, Feng bujue quickly gathered the following information. Ferris did not turn into a cold-blooded person due to the accident, and his wife was not dead. Even though his wife had contracted a serious retrogressive disease as brother Jue had predicted, coincidentally … Not long after her illness was diagnosed, Wayne corporation’s research and development department had developed a medicine that could cure the disease. Therefore, Ferris ‘wife was saved, and his family and job were both stable.
After collecting that information, Feng bujue’s hidden mission progress reached three-tenth, which meant that Mr. Freeze’s whereabouts were finally confirmed.
Then, he went to the second place … Gotham University.
If sneaking into a private company was easy, then getting into a University was like searching for feces. It took him 20 minutes to find one of his targets, Pamela Lilian Ashley, who he knew as poisoner Ivy.
This universe’s Pamela had not been chosen as an experimental subject by the botanist, Jason Wood, because he had died in a fire a few years ago. His research materials had been burned along with him.
In other words, the person who was supposed to use Pamela was long dead, and the plant poison that caused Pamela’s mutation had never been invented.
In the library, Feng bujue pretended to be a student and conversed with Pamela for a while, and that was how he got the information. Naturally, he was mistaken as a not-so-smart person who tried to strike up a conversation.
Brother Jue ended the conversation before the other party’s attitude turned cold and the atmosphere became awkward. With his mission progress of 4/10, he went to find his other target, Jonathan Klein, AKA Scarecrow, who was also in Gotham University.
Feng bujue was curious as to why Fiddlesticks did not turn dark. This was because this character had been bullied when he was a student … And not because of a certain incident that happened after he grew up.
In the end, after talking to the psychology professor at the cafeteria for more than half an hour, brother Jue finally managed to get the answer. The boys who had bullied Jonathan and the girls who had rejected and teased him … All of them had met with a mountain disaster during a school trip many years later. When the police found their bodies, many of them had already been eaten by the wild beasts in the mountains.
As for our Johnathan … Or rather, this gentleman who was supposed to be a commoner, because his school days were like hell, and he didn’t have any feelings for this group of classmates, he didn’t go to that gathering at all … And thus, he was lucky enough to escape.
After that incident, Johnathan’s heart had changed a lot, as if some of the knots in his heart had been untied … Of course, it could also be said that he had the mentality of “God is watching over me”.
No matter what, that was the reason why Fiddlesticks did not go dark … After hearing that, Feng bujue’s quest progress was updated to 5/10.
…………
When he left Gotham University, it was already dusk. Brother Jue felt that it was about time, so he ran to his third stop, the east side of Xuanji.
“Hey! Are you blind?” Just as Feng bujue was standing on the road and looking into the distance, suddenly, someone knocked him hard with his shoulder and said that first.
Brother Jue was very familiar with this kind of trick … Anyway, it was either a scam or a provocation.
Feng bujue might not even be polite to a normal person, but to someone who was obviously up to no good … One could easily imagine his attitude.
“Ha?” The next second, brother Jue’s juvenile voice came online. He turned his head and glanced at the person who had just passed him.”Are you talking to me?”
“Nonsense!” It was a bald man who was topless even in the cold weather. There were many tattoos on his body, and there was almost no intact skin below his neck.”You’re not only blind … You’re also F * cking deaf?”
The moment he said this, he was kicked in the lower half of his body.
Then, he instinctively covered his crotch and knelt down …
“Ha? What did you say? I still can’t hear you …”Feng bujue’s kick to the crotch was really sudden. After the kick, he acted as if nothing had happened, and his tone was like that of an old man with bad hearing.” …Can you say that again?”
“You … You …” Baldhead wanted to curse, but the intense pain in his balls made him squeeze out a few words. He also wanted to stand up and hit someone, but before the intense pain in his crotch eased … He probably had to keep his legs together and kneel for a while.
“Come and find me when you can speak clearly.” Feng bujue looked down at the man, shrugged, and left after that.
He knew that this hooligan would definitely catch up to him and take revenge, and it was very likely that he would call some of his accomplices … And this was exactly what he was looking forward to.
