Chapter 30: The Compass's Instructions
The sun must have risen, but the damn city was still cold.
There is sin in the air, and you have to breathe it to understand it, it tugs at the corners of your clothes with its chapped fingers, it hides its sharp fangs when you look at it, the homeless man slumps drunk on the side of the road, and behind the palatial hotel, there are alleys full of garbage cans...... But then again, compared to Gotham a few years ago, that's pretty good.
A taxi pulled up on the corner, and a gangster-looking young man got out of the car, pulled open the door of the back seat, and pulled a big-bellied man out.
"Whew...... I hate riding in a car! Joey said, rubbing his head.
Parker smiled awkwardly...... Although he couldn't believe it, but during this time, he found that this person named Joey seemed to be quite good, very bold, and very talkative, along the way, he popularized a lot of pig breeding knowledge to himself, of course, Parker basically couldn't understand, but this did not prevent him from changing his opinion of Joey a little...... It would be better if he didn't always mention the word "feed".
"Where are we going next?" Joey asked.
"To meet Mr. Falconi"
"Mr. Falcony?" Joey put on a puzzled look again.
"Uh...... It's the 'Romans'. Parker said.
"Romans?"
"Okay, you just come with me."
"Oh." Old Joy said, and followed Parker into the luxury hotel in front of him.
......
Maybe it's because Parker has a bit of a reputation in the "Roman Empire" (the name of the gang), or maybe the tattoo on his neck indicates that he is from the gang, but old Joey follows him anyway, and the two of them soon come to a restaurant.
Mr. Falconi had just finished breakfast and was holding a cup of tea and flipping through today's newspaper.
"Good morning, Mr. Falconi." Parker greeted respectfully, then turned sideways and let Joey out behind him: "This is ...... Joey. ”
As soon as the voice fell......
"Haha—long time no see!" He said with a grin, and then took a few steps forward and sat down on the chair across from the table.
Mr. Falconi was stunned: "We ...... Have you ever seen it? ”
"Uh...... Didn't you? Oh...... Hello, I'm Joey. ”
Parker's heart was dead on the side, and he hurried over: "Mr. Falcony, do you remember a doctor named Ziliang?" This is the man's friend. ”
Mr. Falconi understood at once, and he nodded, looking at Joey again...... seems to think that this kind of person with a weird image and a little problem in his brain makes sense if he is a friend of Ziliang.
"It turned out to be Ziliang's friend." He smiled and said, "Then I don't know, did you come to me for something?" ”
"Huh? What's ......? Joey seemed to be in a state of confusion again.
......
It's an awkward scene because both sides of the conversation look at each other with a "Don't you know?" I don't know! Expression.
Parker was caught in the middle, cold sweat coming down, and after a few seconds, he finally seemed to remember something.
"Oh, yes, Compass."
"Compass?" Mr. Falconi frowned: "What is a compass?" ”
"Uh...... Compass, I don't know. Parker's face was aggrieved, he really didn't know what the "compass" was, anyway, Ziliang told him that when he met Joey, he didn't know what to do, so he said the word.
"Oh-yes, there's a 'compass'!" Joey seemed to have a goal all of a sudden, and he put his big hand in the pocket of his apron, almost reaching his elbow, and flipped around.
Parker was okay, after all, he was also a person who came out of Ziliang's hospital alive, and he could be regarded as having seen the world, while Mr. Falconi was immediately stunned, and the teacup in his hand fell directly to the ground and shattered.
Joey flipped through it for a while, and Parker could hear the sound of an unknown "clanging" coming from his pocket, and finally, he pulled it out of his pocket...... A folded piece of paper.
"Haha! Got it! Joey said with a smile, then carefully opened the paper with his large hands.
Both Parker and Mr. Falconi tilted their heads to see what the "compass" was in the paper.
And then...... And they found out.
There was nothing in the paper.
...... Mr. Falconi was shocked, and for a moment he even thought that the pig killer was playing a trick on himself, so that he couldn't pull out his gun and crash the bastard.
It's a good thing he didn't, otherwise this plane would have to face the most terrible disaster.
"Okay, let's see what the 'compass' indicates?" Old Joey didn't bother to look at him, and he smoothed out the paper that he had torn out of nowhere.
I saw a few lines written crookedly on this piece of paper.
【Arkham Asylum】
【Confinement Room】
【Ziliang】
......
......
Mr. Falconi looked at the so-called 'compass' suspiciously: "Uh...... What does this mean? ”
Old Joy smiled: "Haha, Ziliang is locked up, which means let us go to Arkham Asylum to rescue him." ”
Listening to this heartless laughter, Parker's heart was crying, not to mention what this "compass" was all about...... He wondered how this guy, who couldn't even remember a person's face, could understand the meaning from those words.
And, did he really know what Arkham Asylum was? Could it be that he is going to carry a knife like this and go up and chop open the prison door?
However, in the midst of this embarrassment, Mr. Falconi suddenly calmed down.
Of course, he understood how ridiculous the other party's words were, but both Ziliang and this Joey gave him a very strange feeling.
When Ziliang appeared in front of him for the first time, he sent someone to check on this strange doctor, but to his surprise, he didn't find anything, as if there had never been such a person in Gotham City, and when Joey rummaged through something just now, he also saw that it was definitely not an ordinary trick, but a power that he couldn't understand yet.
So, Mr. Falconi pondered for a moment.
He needs to rob the prison...... The urgent need is not just to rescue a few people in the gang, but he needs to do something in Arkham Asylum as soon as possible.
The next Gotham City mayoral election is about to begin. The performance of the general prison director is extremely brilliant, and everyone knows that he and Director Gordon are grasshoppers on a rope. Sharp is successfully elected, then the entire Gotham's gangster power will definitely usher in a devastating blow, and his "Roman Empire" is definitely the worst suppressed.
So, he had to make a mess, and he had to give Quincy Sharp a stain on his performance before the election.
And the Arkham Asylum was invaded and a large number of prisoners were released, which was definitely an excellent choice.
Mr. Falconi was silent, he looked faintly at the fat strange man in front of him, and suddenly smiled......
"Oh, well, Mr. Joy, I'll tell you the truth, I really want to make some trouble in Arkham Asylum, and I'm sure you can help me...... But what do you use to help. ”
"Haha-" Joey smiled stupidly, pulled the pig-killing knife out of the waistband of his pants, and weighed it: "Use it ......"
