- In DC-Gotham-
It was evening and the setting sun was shining.
The upper half of the city was dyed golden by the setting sun, while the lower half of the city sank into the shadows.
Chen Tian walked on the streets of the city. There were many passersby around him, and most of them looked tired from working together.
The breeze blew the corner of the newspaper in his hand, and every line of words on it emitted the smell of fresh ink. This was the city evening newspaper that had just come out of the oven.
" Penguin was killed."
Chen Tian looked at the headline of Gotham Market's Corpote being shot dead. He narrowed his eyes and muttered.
Flipping through the newspaper, one could see the headline on the other side: " The new mayor has won the support of the majority of the citizens and is about to take office.”
The man in the white suit on the newspaper page had a square and angular face that exuded a sense of righteousness. His figure was tall and straight, as if he was a righteous partner.
"Now, this fellow can be said to be a completely good person. Unfortunately,"
Chen Tian recognized the other party. He was the future Two-faced Harvey. Dante was a man who regarded the city as his home.
He sighed softly and continued to read the other contents of the newspaper.
Chen Tian shook his head when he saw that most of the reports were about the assassination of the former mayor.
He knew that although Batman was hiding in the dark, he had always adhered to his principle of not killing.
Someone else had shot and killed him.
Bruce Wayne's butler, Alfred.
Of course, he was not interested in clearing up the truth. After all, there were enough negative speculations about Batman. Bruce probably did not care.
After reading all the reports, Chen Tian put down the newspaper with a waning interest and cast his gaze on the surrounding streets.
At this moment, he had already walked to an old neighborhood where most of the buildings emitted an old aura. The number of pedestrians gradually decreased.
Now that winter was about to arrive, the weather was getting colder. Thick smoke could be seen rolling around the trash cans. Many homeless people were squatting in front of the makeshift shacks, burning garbage to keep warm.
The walls were covered in messy, colorful scribbles.
On the street, there were young people with pale skin and thin limbs squatting on the ground in twos and threes, picking and choosing the cigarette butts that had been thrown by others.
Looking at the strange scene of Gotham City's culture.
Chen Tian could feel the dirty and messy atmosphere. He thought to himself that he had arrived in the slums.
Dada Dada--
A series of crisp and swift footsteps suddenly approached from behind.
Before Chen Tian could turn around, he smelled a faint fragrance. The tip of his nose twitched, and he felt that the smell was very pleasant.
"I'm being followed. Can I temporarily pretend to be my boyfriend?”
At this moment, he saw a woman following beside him. The other party lowered her voice and said in a slightly flustered tone," Don't turn around. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if you are exposed.”
However, Chen Tian, who possessed psychic powers, knew that the woman was lying. However, he did not expose her immediately. Instead, he sized her up.
The other party was only half a head shorter than him.
She had long brown hair that reached her shoulders, and her skin was smooth and fair like jade. Her facial features were exquisite and she looked charming.
It was a pity that the autumn clothes on her body were thick and heavy, wrapping her entire body tightly.
Chen Tian raised an eyebrow. She looked familiar, but he could not immediately confirm her identity.
At this moment, a cold voice sounded in his mind.
"Battle detected. Advanced Thief (Cat Woman)!"
Hearing this voice, Chen Tian finally realized that the other party was the cat girl, Selena. Kyle?
It seemed that the so-called being followed by this habitual thief was probably just to steal his wallet.
It was not an estimate.
Chen Tian, who had obtained all of the other party's stealing abilities, realized that his wallet had fallen into the other party's hands in the past few seconds.
At the same time, he instinctively judged all the details of the cat girl's theft.
"Those people have left. Thank you."
At this moment, the feline girl thanked him in a low voice and prepared to run away.
Pa!
She had only taken half a step when her hand holding her wallet was grabbed by Chen Tian.
At the same time, the latter's slightly teasing voice sounded in the cat girl's ears."Since you want to thank me, you can't be so hasty.”
"What are you doing?"
The cat girl was stunned. She frowned and wanted to resist, but she realized that the young man in front of her, who looked not much stronger than her, had a shocking strength in his hands.
He dragged her to a coffee shop not far away without being able to resist.
"No one is following you outside, right?”
Chen Tian brought the cat girl to the bar counter and looked at her with a faint smile.
"I didn't expect to meet an expert. I admit my mistake.”
Seeing this, the cat girl knew that she had been exposed. She was a little discouraged and directly handed over her wallet. Her eyes were lowered and she looked pitiful.
"You can't just admit your mistake like this. The wallet is mine to begin with. You don't have to pay any price for returning it to me.”
Chen Tian put away his wallet and smiled playfully." Maybe you should treat me to a cup of coffee. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to apologize to the police, would you?"”
"But…"
The cat girl widened her eyes and glanced at the price on the menu. No matter what kind of coffee it was, it was so expensive that it made her heart ache.
She turned around and saw that Chen Tian was still smiling at her, as if he was telling her to call the police if she did not treat him to coffee.
The cat girl immediately softened and ordered the cheapest cup of coffee.
"Drink! I want to see you drink it all, not a single drop is wasted!”
When the coffee was ready.
She angrily brought it to Chen Tian, her big black eyes full of resentment.
Because of a cup of coffee, the already difficult economic situation became even worse.
Chen Tian took a sip of the coffee. He found it funny when he saw the cat girl's gloomy face.
The feline girls of this period had not grown up yet, so he was only a few years old.
There were still many childish aspects in his behavior and mentality, but there was still a lot of room for development in the situation where he could contradict him.
At this moment.
The news on the television in the shop attracted Chen Tian's attention.
" Last night, six government officials were killed in Gotham City. At the same time, riddles were left at the crime scene."
" Gotham police have identified the suspect, codenamed 'The Riddler,' and are doing their best to arrest him."
Chen Tian turned his head and narrowed his eyes.
"The Riddler is starting to show up in Gotham. I can meet this guy before I go to Metropolis.”
His interest was piqued.
At this moment, the cat girl beside him saw that Chen Tian's attention was focused on the television and quickly took the opportunity to slip away quietly.
She did not know that after she left, Chen Tian chuckled and took a sip of his coffee.
If Chen Tian wanted to, even a hundred feline girls would not be able to escape his control.
However, he still had a lot of things to do. There was no need to bring a woman with him.
He would play with her when he had time in the future.
..........
On the other side.
The feline girl, who had already run into the alley outside, was full of regret.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
She clenched her fists and tried her best to vent her anger." It's fine if you didn't steal the wallet, but you even paid for a cup of coffee!"”
"Why is coffee so expensive?!”
The cat girl frowned. Thinking of the price of that cup of coffee, her heart ached even more." That shop is really something. They could have just robbed it, but they still gave the customer a cup of coffee!”
Walking through the streets, she sighed for a while before calming down a little.
"Someone in the Riddler is in big trouble!”
She thought of the news she had just seen in the coffee shop and frowned angrily as she muttered to herself.
