American Comics: The Invincible Wheel of Fortune - Chapter 719 13. Gotham

“Where is the monster!”

South of New York is Gotham City, also located on the east coast of the United States.

The airship flew over in the sky, blocking the moonlight. Only the distant lights reflected a tall figure with two small horns on his head and a black cloak, stepping on a strong man with a big belly.

There were three thin children standing next to them, trembling with fear and wearing shabby clothes.

And this shout came from Miss Jasmine.

He took Diana to Gotham City and wandered around until night. When he heard something moving somewhere, he came over to join in the fun.

I was also very surprised. Come on, is there really a Batman?

The tall figure is wearing a “retro-style” Batman suit made of woolen material.

“ah!”

Suddenly there was a faint scream in the distance!

The tall figure who seemed to be Batman ignored what was happening in front of him and just took a deep look at the two women who were dressed in gorgeous clothes and covered their faces with scarves, and then said to the three children: “Go home quickly and don’t mess around in the streets. “

He took out a device that looked like a pistol from his waist, fired a rope with a bang, and flew his body to the roof, disappearing into the night.

“Abominable bat monster, it’s easy to say, where do we have a home?” The eldest of the three children complained loudly, full of helplessness.

This child looked to be in his early ten years, and the youngest one looked to be five or six years old.

But over the past two years, Jasmine and Diana have seen a lot of the sallow complexion, unhealthy skin and hair caused by malnutrition, and they know that the actual age of these three children should be two or three years older than they look. even more.

“Hey, those two…that chick, you are not locals, are you? Gotham at night is not a place for rich ladies like you to find excitement, especially recently, Jack…”

“Ah, Dixie, don’t mention that name, I’m afraid.” The youngest child grabbed the older child’s lapel.

“Timmy, don’t be afraid, I’m here with you. Hey, you’re lucky. From now on, we won’t follow that fat pig anymore. Let’s go. Jess, let’s go too. This damned place, bah. “

“Hey, you three, Dixie, Jess and Timmy, right?” Jasmine called out to the three waifs who were very loyal and united. They seemed to be sophisticated, but they knew all their names.

Jasmine was thinking about following Batman to see him causing trouble, but Diana’s heart softened again and she couldn’t resist Diana’s starry eyes. She thought to herself that this eldest lady had also been punished in the same way, so she had to let Dai Anna went over first and dealt with the three children by herself.

“what?”

“We need a guide. Are you familiar with Gotham?”

“Of course, Tim is the youngest, but he has been living here with me for more than a year.”

This caused Diana to look pitiful, but she also knew that it might stimulate the children’s sensitive self-esteem, so she hid it well.

“Then come and work for us, how about one dollar per person a week?”

“Really?” The three children looked at each other, and they all saw the surprise of a fat sheep falling from the sky.

In this world, the U.S. dollar at this time is still on the gold standard. One U.S. dollar is equal to about 1.6 grams of gold, and the purchasing power is not much different. An ordinary worker who works hard to eat only earns a salary of 2 or 3 U.S. dollars a week, and this is enough. The family of three was fed and clothed.

“Of course, it depends on your performance, but you can advance your salary by 1 yuan, and the rest will be paid once a week.”

In fact, how could Jasmine and Diana stay in Gotham for a week? It didn’t matter how long Jasmine stayed, but Diana was very enterprising and responsible.

So here is a condition, let the three children feel at ease and get to know each other. If their character is not bad, help them to go to school. If they don’t want to go to school, they can learn a trade. In short, they will not live on the streets anymore.

“Then let me introduce myself. I’m Jasmine. The one who left first is Diana. Since you work for us, you have to call us Miss, do you understand?”

“No problem, Miss.”

“Well, not bad, okay, I’m leaving. I’ll wait at the door of Wayne Hotel at 8:00 tomorrow morning to pick up the 1 yuan I agreed to.”

“Can you give it to us first?” Dixie stopped Jasmine, who waved her hand and was about to chase Diana, and asked with some hesitation: “We want to have a meal first. We haven’t eaten anything all day, and we still need it.” Find a place to live, we can’t follow Bill anymore.”

“Hmph, do you think this young lady is easy to talk to and easy to take advantage of?”

Jasmine’s demeanor suddenly changed, and she walked towards the three children slowly and calmly, but the three children were like mice being stared at by a cat, and they didn’t dare to breathe.

“Okay, I’m pretty easy to talk to, but you want to take advantage of me, hum…” Jasmine patted the heads of the three children, handed Dixie a one-dollar bill, and said with a half-smile: “So Be good and don’t let me down, young lady.”

“Yes, I promise not to.” The three children couldn’t help but stand at attention subconsciously.

“Very good, that’s it. Oh, by the way, tell me about that Jack that you don’t dare to mention?”

…

“How’s it going? Did you see anything?” After sending the three children away, Jasmine found Diana.

“Well, a woman was murdered, but the murderer was not found.” Diana looked very ugly. In this era, the harshness towards women, that is, there were black people who were slaves, and racial discrimination were even more serious. If the problem is worse, it won’t be ranked last.

But there were always things that made it difficult for Diana to breathe.

For example, Jack the Ripper targeted women who had sold their bodies. He had caused many tragedies and even arrogantly provoked the police in newspapers, but the police could do nothing.

Jasmine was surprised that Jack the Ripper actually appeared in Midea or Gotham, and was related to who knows which version of Batman. It was a bit messy.

“Molly, I want to catch this Jack without any more victims.”

Even after more than two years, the blessings of the Twelve Olympus Gods have been basically eliminated, and the strength has improved even more.

But this kind of incident is not about super villains waiting for people to kill them, but about serial killers hiding in dark corners. If the criminals are not caught first, no matter how powerful they are, they will be of no use.

“Well, let’s find someone who can help with this matter.”

“You mean the cloaked weirdo with the rat hood just now?”

Phew!

Isn’t a bat just a flying mouse…

“Haha, that’s right, it’s that weird rat… hahahahahaha…”

Hearing Diana’s upright description, Jasmine felt as if she had been poked in her laughter hole and couldn’t stop laughing.
