Chapter 240: A Ghetto Tale
After throwing the self-proclaimed cyclone Chinese woman off the ship, the speed of the ship suddenly increased significantly, not that the woman was so heavy that it would slow down the ship, but when Yongdu found out that Dante had no ill will towards the woman, he had already guessed the current situation.
"Are there many people on your planet like her who can use special abilities at will?"
Yongdu asked, and while he spoke, he drank, and really admired that he could do it without delay.
Dante nodded, but suddenly shook his head.
"That woman is supposed to be a mutant, there are many on Earth, but I remember that most mutants don't show their abilities!"
"So we met an other?"
Yongdu laughed.
"Fortunately, this alternative strength is not strong, my baby spaceship has no, otherwise I would have dismantled her bones, even if you stop it!"
"If that's the case, who's going to stop you?"
Dante pouted, if that woman didn't have the big nerves and thick lines just now, Dante wouldn't let her go easily.
The journey from Asia to the United States was spent in a chat, and it didn't take long for Dante to park Yongdu's spaceship in the sea, which is the closest coastline to New York City, and when Dante carried Yongdu out of the water, Yongdu was a little excited and shivering.
"What?" Dante asked lightly, "It's not your first time on Earth, what are you excited about?"
"That's different, landing and leaving this time can solve my biggest heart problem, fuck, I'm afraid I'll be like this for the next few days!"
"I've promised you, so, don't rush it!"
Dante said, picking up Yongdu's collar, only to see him take a step, the whole person ran in the void, he had already turned into a red light, and even his speed was a little faster than Yongdu's spaceship, when Dante passed by the third group of fighters, he easily carried Yongdu and landed in front of a pizzeria.
It's not a busy city, it's a suburb of New York, with a few shops and a dilapidated residential building nearby, all showing us the depression behind the prosperity.
However, there are very few journalists in such a place, and most of the people who live here are addicts, who don't have any thoughts that they shouldn't have, and they don't make a fuss about Yongdu's blue skin, after all, there are even other people among them who have their skin tattooed all over their bodies black!
Dante stood at the corner of the street and patted Yongdu on the back, and he whispered a word of advice.
"Know you don't know English, so talk less!"
"No, Dante, I know English, Quill taught me!"
Yongdu said this sentence in English, although he said it with some difficulty, but the words were clear, which made Dante nod.
"That's good!"
Dante's voice fell, and the people also walked into the pizzeria, which did not only sell pizza, but after ordering dozens of pizzas and various fast foods, Dante invited Yongdu to sit down and taste them.
However, the first thing Dante did when he sat down was to call the saber-toothed tiger, because he didn't have a penny on him, let alone a credit card or anything like that, and as for the meal he had just ordered, heh, it was all the result of Dante's face.
Because the moment the boss saw Dante, he was already trembling and bowing to Dante, Dante didn't know this boss originally, but now he guessed that this boss must have done something bad, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!
Moreover, I am afraid that the boss is not the only one who has done something wrong, the few three or two customers in the restaurant are now looking at Dante in shock, and one of them, a sloppy man with black teeth and long hair like a ghost, couldn't help but stretch out his skull-like finger to Dante!
"Evil, evil!"
"Fuck it, Demon Hunter!"
Dante scolded, can't a bastard have a little bastard self-cultivation, you are so nervous, I really can't help but want to torture you, you know!
"Keep your mouth shut, I know that most people like you have some stealing and stealing things, but I don't care about that!"
"Really, oh my God, you're a good superhero!"
"Damn, it's awkward for me to hear you say that!"
Dante sticks out his little finger and plucks his ears, and it's funny to be praised by the bad guys as good guys, haha!
Hearing Dante's words, the mood of those people improved a lot, except for one person who shrank in the corner, the remaining two bastards simply took the food to Dante's adjacent table, when their nervous emotions relaxed, they inevitably saw the blue skin, the courage of the murder weapon on the face!
"Hey, brother, where did you pick up the paint for your face, it looks so natural!"
A man with messy blond hair asked Yongdu, and the blue on Yongdu's face instantly deepened, and he stared at the guy with wide blood-red eyes, only to see him slowly open his mouth.
"From your mother's **, raised by a bitch!"
"Fack!"
"Bang!"
When the guy heard Yongdu's words, he instinctively cursed, but Yongdu slapped the table in an instant, and hey, the table was easily smashed by Yongdu!
The weak blonde drug addict didn't dare to speak, and he honestly shrunk into his seat.
Yongdu looked at the shrunken guy with disdain, and turned to Dante in his own skillful language.
"I'm afraid these two bitches are going to beg like you, I used to be a slave and a wanderer, although the planet I am on is different from the earth, but the homeless people on there are almost the same!"
"Who knows?"
Dante muttered motionlessly, and he glanced at the blonde man, who was indeed a bony face, with filthy hair already greasy to reflect, and his ragged upper body was still exposed to his shoulders, and on that shoulder was tattooed a large cross.
Noticing that Dante was looking at him, he curled up even more, and he didn't even dare to put the french fries in his hand into his mouth, and the companion sitting across from him was no different from him, and the two approached Dante for some reason, but for some reason they were afraid.
It wasn't until the boss brought in a large pile of food that Dante figured out what had happened.
"Mr. Demon Hunter, do you mind drinking some wine, although I don't have much capital, the good wine I treasure here is thirty years ago!"
The boss placed the last pizza on the two tables to Dante's right, there were so many pizzas that almost all the tables around Dante were covered, and when Dante picked up a piece of pizza, the boss stood next to Dante and leaned down to ask.
Before Dante could answer, Yongdu immediately smiled and clapped his hands.
"Great idea!"
Yongdu spat out a sentence in English, which made the boss smile on his face, and he kept rubbing his palms on his chest, and he shivered with excitement.
"This, it's such an honor, it's really an honor, I actually had the opportunity to drink with superheroes, haha, waiting for me, waiting for me!"
The boss rushed into the basement, where there was a small wine cellar, and after a while he walked out with three bottles of old red wine, he gently removed the cork, and then skillfully handled the wine for Dante, and when the wine swirled gently in the glass in front of Dante, the fragrance almost filled Dante's nose.
"This is my father's own wine, damn it, he worked at the Porto winery, but unfortunately he later participated in the Korean War, otherwise I wouldn't have only three bottles of this treasure left!"
After the boss poured Yongdu wine, he couldn't wait to pick up his own wine glass and take a sip, ah, no matter how many times he drank it, the taste of this wine was as good as ever!
At this time, there was a clear 'coo' sound in the restaurant, and the three Dante looked at the source of the sound, ha, it was the two homeless men next to them swallowed their saliva in unison!
The boss frowned and glanced at the two homeless men, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything after all, but handed his cup to the two homeless men.
"You two guys have a drink, damn it, drink slowly, you won't have another chance like this in the future!"
The boss yelled at the two homeless men, and then he sighed, and when he heard the boss's words, the two homeless people, who were forty or fifty years old, actually shed tears in unison.
The blonde homeless man carefully took the glass from the boss's hand, and just as he wanted to taste a little, he was startled by the sudden speech of Yongdu.
"You don't deserve it!"
Yongdu let out a cold roar, he took his cup and slowly tasted the boss's good wine, he kind of liked the taste, so he was disgusted to share them with two bastards who were worse than dead!
Yongdu doesn't look down on their status as a homeless man, just like Yongdu himself said, he was also a slave, so what he really dislikes is the lifeless eyes of the homeless man, there is no hope, then damn it!
Dante didn't care about it, he just silently watched the homeless man holding the wine glass and didn't dare to taste it, the homeless man kept swallowing saliva, but his hand holding the glass was very steady.
The air fell silent instantly, and only the sound of the homeless man spitting could be heard in the restaurant, until the boss sighed deeply and he spoke a little nervously.
"They are rare serious people around here, but their lives are hard!"
"Woooooo
As soon as the boss finished speaking, the blonde homeless man instantly cried, which made Yongdu snort in even more disgust, and Yongdu simply lowered his head to deal with the pizza, not looking at the two guys.
Dante nodded.
"I can see that they are poor to death, and their lives are really not very good!"
"Ha, it's not like that, the two of them have lived here for seventeen years, and I met them on the first day they came to New York, and maybe you can tell that the two of them are lovers, gay!"
The boss said, his voice a little low, and Dante listened to him and looked at the two men deeply.
People like the boss who open a shop in the slums are mostly carrying some things on their backs, and the slums have never been less than murders, presumably the boss will not remember the ordinary little things clearly, but he remembers these two people, and he looks impressed.
"The two of them seem to be from Houston, and it is said that they provoked someone there, so they fled to New York to take refuge, but they also had some luck, and they joined Hell's Kitchen not long after they came here, haha, at that time, Kim and the big guy didn't dominate New York, they caught up with the good time, and bought a trolley after a few fights with the boss on the head, and adopted a child!"
"Adopt a child?"
"That's right, in the second year they adopted a four-year-old boy, and at that time they asked me to do the formalities for them, we have only a few dilapidated orphanages here, and the adoption procedures are not perfect, and they still have their own houses in this neighborhood, although they can't compare with those people in the city, but they are also people with heads and faces here!"
"Heh, and then they got addicted to drugs and just threw everything away?"
"Hey!"
Hearing Dante's words, the boss sighed, and he simply patted the blonde man on the shoulder and said to the two of them.
"Drink, old fellow, this wine is mine, and I say you are worthy of you!"
After the boss finished speaking, the blonde homeless man hurriedly took a sip, this one of course did not drink the whole cup, and the rest was handed to his lover by him.
"Later, they quit Kim and Boss's gang, of course, that's because the two of them are not very important, they can only say that they can fight a little bit, when they quit, it was already their fourth year in New York, and the child they adopted was also seven years old, quite a cute boy, not like other children who were full of dirty words, and even liked to wash their faces. ”
As he spoke, the boss noticed that the two homeless men had drunk all the wine he had given, so he reached out and took their glasses, which he had only taken three in total, so he had to continue pouring himself wine from this cup.
He refilled himself with a cup, not disgusted that the cup had been used by the two men, and when he had finished drinking, he continued.
"When the boy was nine years old, the two of them started to be unlucky, there were a lot of things going on in their house at that time, everything in the house was smashed to pieces, even the bed and the cabinet were smashed to pieces, this kind of thing happened before, after all, they were both gay, there were always a few drunken idiots who liked to smash the glass of their house, and I heard that there was an old gangster who once forced the two of them to lick each other's cocks in front of a bunch of people. ”
"So, those people smashed their house? Those people killed their adopted children?"
Dante asked, if yes, he didn't mind giving an order to the upcoming saber-toothed tigers, although they hadn't been trained in exorcism, it was more than enough for them to deal with a few mortals, even if it was a gang.
The boss shook his head with the two homeless men.
"Their house was smashed by that child, that child was possessed by the devil, Dante, the nine-year-old child tore seven or eight adults with his fingers, and the bodies of those adults were left in their house, and they were murdered like this, everyone said that they were corpse shredders, and no one ever suspected the child!"
"Demons?"
"It should be, I watched the two of them get caught, the child became an orphan again, he was sent to the car to the orphanage by a group of people, but as soon as the car started, the child inside went crazy, countless blood splashed all over the windows, and finally only the child covered in blood came out of the car, that incident was terrible, I will never forget!"
Dante was silent.
"Later, the two of them were released, because the truth was revealed, it was the children who did it, and those greedy policemen searched their house for more than 15,000 yuan, hell, no one knew that the two of them would save so much money, so the policeman ordered the two of them to hand over 800 yuan a month in the future, no matter what way. ”
"I don't want to know that, what about the kid?"
Dante interrupted the boss, who gave the two homeless men a heavy look.
"That kid is gone!"
The boss said.
"The two of them have been looking for the child, and I heard that the child was captured by the army, and I am afraid that it has become some test subject, and some people say that the child is not possessed by a demon, but a special mutant, and since then, the two of them have been in a slump, until now, eleven years. ”
"I know, eleven years, but I can find him, he is my son, our son!"
The blonde homeless man roared violently, which even made Yongdu raise his head with his mouth open, Yongdu looked at the homeless man, but the homeless man had already lost the courage to be a talent, he shrunk and trembled and held his lover's hand, and the two crying old men clasped their hands tightly.
Surprisingly, Dante didn't find it ugly.
