SIN CITY
He was standing on the rooftop of a skyscraper, and the sleepless city under his feet was brightly lit, and you could see the neon blossoms in the night, dyed red by the dense heat from the manhole cover beside the road.
It was a night in the early spring. The bustling city was full of smog, and the wind was slightly cold, and the smell of industrial waste gas and wastewater could be smelled.
What sees in his eyes is the feasting and feasting, which is made up of wealth, prestige, and power.
But in that more distant dark place, in places that are hard to see-maybe in the dim alleys with trash cans, maybe the sewers hiding homeless people, maybe under the overpass where gangs gather.
The guns and corpses that were thrown away indiscriminately, the weird smiles and screams in the dark, the black dry blood...all the time, telling people who came here, under the glamorous exterior of this city, there is boundless hidden Sin and madness, anyone who despises it will be ruthlessly swallowed.
This is where? Maybe you only need to listen to the description of the citizens quietly, and someone can guess it.
The residents of this city like to use the names of villains they are familiar with to describe this city.
Some people say that it is like a killer crocodile, because it is always in the dark, swallowing people abruptly, there is not even a bit of bones left, maybe only a splash of water or bubbles, but no one cares.
Some people say it is like a double-faced person, because of its ruthless choice, whether it is justice or evil, or order and chaos, it rotates crazily all the time. Destiny is like a coin, constantly being thrown up and down, making people involuntary..
Some people say that it is like a scarecrow, because no matter what kind of dreams it has had before, it will suddenly turn into a nightmare, and it will unearth people's deepest fears, until people go crazy, drive people crazy, and finally leave saliva, wandering in the streets.
Some people say it looks like a clown, because this city is simply crazy! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Of course, there is a high possibility that the citizen will violently in the next moment, put a pencil or fork into the eyes of the outsider, then open his big ignorant eyes, crane his neck and ask the twitching corpse curiously.
"Why are you so serious?"
As a visitor from another world, he didn't need to ask any resident. He just raised his head and looked at the bright beam of light in the night and left a bat-like spot on the clouds, and he knew where he was.
"Gotham..."
he murmured.
At the next moment, a sudden heavy rain flooded his figure.
The gray rainwater with a faintly sour taste concealed everything that I had seen and heard before, and concealed all the sins. I could only hear the buzzing sound and feel the cold from my heart.
But the cold did not come from rain. He was fully armed, no matter his head or body, he was covered by sophisticated metal armor.
The full-covered mask and helmet, the whole body below the neck is wrapped in fine lock armor, and the chest, shoulders, and limbs are covered with another layer of armor-like shoulder pads. All this tells him that at this moment, He is no longer an ordinary person.
He is an ordinary person, living a simple life that is not worth mentioning. On another earth, he is just one of hundreds of millions of people in a huge country. He is single, has a smoker, stays up all night, and his eyes are swollen.
His work and rest time is completely opposite to that of ordinary people. During the day when everyone is working, he is sleeping, and at night when everyone is sleeping with his wife or girlfriend in his arms, he patrols the unit with a flashlight. The monotonous life of black and white reverses his age. It's extremely numb to be light, but the salary is quite meagre.
As an orphan, he has not received a complete education. After the compulsory education is over, he has no money to go to school.
Thirteen or four years old, he doesn't want to wander in society, but he has no choice.
After graduating from junior high school for a year, I found that Young and Dangerous was not like in the movie. People nowadays have no loyalty to say that he wants a legitimate job.
But what does he have? Nothing, no education, no family, no work experience, thin body, and can no longer live in an orphanage when he is old.
He has very few things, but he still has hands and feet.
Since the age of fifteen, he has washed dishes, sold insurance, and delivered express delivery. However, they are all temporary workers and lose their jobs in the off-season.
Fortunately, after being introduced by the kind neighbor aunt next to the rented house, I showed people the warehouse at a certain iron and steel company at night. Although the salary is not high, it is said that after a few more years, I can mix in the establishment and become a full-time employee.
Although he can't figure out what the weaving is really good for, it should be a good thing to see that the aunt talks with him so much.
said it was the night treasury, but in fact it was the night shift warehouse security. He was not the kind of tall and strong person who had deterrent power at first sight, but he was better than young, and he was still a bit courageous.
In fact, he is not worried about encountering a thief. The aunt said that as long as one can be caught, she will find someone to talk about it. This is a performance of meritorious service, and the establishment is stable.
He knew that his aunt's daughter liked him, and the aunt used him as a son-in-law. She usually asked him to join him for dinner, and helped him clean the rental house when he had time. It was all living as a family.
But the little sister is only thirteen years old, even if he is uneducated, he still knows the law!
There are still no people stealing steel plants in these days. It is not the age of stealing manhole covers. Steel is worthless.
In recent years, the domestic steel market has become saturated, and there are calls for overcapacity reduction. Every steel company's products are sold at a big deal. Only when they sell to African countries can they make money. This is what the master in the unit told him of.
"What about the process? Why did I come here, I don't remember."
He stretched out his hand, trying to hold his forehead, but the thick tactical gloves completely isolated the touch and temperature of the helmet.
Indeed, as a young man, he has seen things like crossing over in various literary works.
In the novel, he has seen computers exploded and crossed, choked to death while eating, crossed the road to save people and was hit and crossed, fell into the toilet and crossed through the toilet, but why?
He looked into the distance through the rain curtain, trying his best to take his attention away from the bat sign, but staring at the dark clouds in the sky, trying to remember, the neon lights on countless tall buildings became hazy in the rain and fog, everything is so Untrue.
He only remembered that he went home from get off work, and he had to deal with the phone call from his junior high school classmates to invite to the wedding. He ate instant noodles and couldn't bear to add ham. Then... Have you played with the computer? The dilapidated notebook is just a second- hand product bought for a few hundred dollars. It will make a tractor-like sound when you press the power button. The screen is also a little scratched. But watching anime and movies after dinner is a habit he has developed over the years. Being the cheapest pastime for the poor.
