The area of Gotham Harbor is huge, but like the city, its decay is still emotional.

According to Daddy, Gotham used to prosper on this dock, but now, the city doesn't need it anymore, like a twilight old man, struggling with all the glory of not wanting to fall.

But frankly speaking, the port area is not the worst part of Gotham, in the middle of the city around Gotham City, there is an island in the city, only a bridge connects the city, there was once the lower part of Gotham, after the city was built, it was inhabited by the poorest people, and after entering the modern society, it was as if it had been forgotten by the whole city.

They call it the Narrow Island, but in fact the island in the city has another name, Ridnaraku Island or Nai Ho Island, but since it resembles a narrow island, the Narrow Island is obviously more appropriate.

It's a real ghetto in what is now Gotham, where only the poorest and craziest people live, and there are a lot of dangerous Gotham people hidden in it, and the Narrow Island has no light side, and its dark side is controlled by Falcony, and almost the entire Narrow Island works for him.

And no high-class person would turn his gaze to the narrow island, which is a living hell of poverty, and Catherine, from there.

Cyber didn't know this, he was only in the third day of the city, and his knowledge of Gotham was too shallow.

Now he is like a dead dog, lying in the depths of the dock area, in a remote alley, after killing 4 killers, he lost all strength to resist, fell to the ground, and let death slowly creep up his body, and the girl who stood in the middle of the corpse with M9 in both hands and panicked was his only hope.

"Go... Go to the Old Gun Bar... Looking for Christian... Let him come... Come and save me... Bring food... A large number of... Plenty of food!"

Seber said to Catherine with difficulty, when the hunger and pain in his body came quickly, he even became a luxury, Catherine didn't seem to understand what he said at all, this girl had lived at the bottom of Gotham for more than 1 year, and the corpse had long been unable to arouse her fear, but she still didn't want to stay here for too long.

And Cyber's request was too difficult for her, she may not know that the four dead guys were Jamie's gangsters, but Cyber was able to kill four adults with guns, and he was an absolute danger to the sensitive and precocious Catherine.

The experience on Narrow Island had taught Catherine that she had better stay away from these dangerous people.

Catherine looked at Cyber, and Cyber looked at her, and the young man saw a trace of hesitation flashing in the girl's eyes, and then a trace of indifference, his heart sank, Catherine thought for more than ten seconds, and shook her head at Cyber,

"I'm sorry... Sir..."

She turned and ran, but the next moment, the voice behind her became a little louder,

"He beats you a lot, doesn't he?"

With the last of his strength, Cyber shouted, "He forced you to steal, he won't give you food if you don't steal enough money, and he threatens to kill you if you dare to run... In the end, he will beat you for happy things, he will beat you for sad things, he will beat you out of anger, and he will abuse you for some other hellish reason... Right?"

Catherine's running stopped, and her scarred and smeared, scawed calves stopped, for what Cyber said was true.

This pause gave Cyber hope again, he stopped the speech, but he no longer had the strength to speak loudly, he gasped for breath twice,

"You want to kill him, but you're afraid, and you don't have the ability to kill him, you're afraid of revenge, right?"

Catherine was a little frightened at the sight of the word, at the sound of the naked voice, but when she turned her head to meet Cyber's bloodshot eyes, she saw a hint of sincerity in those eyes, and she nodded, and this action almost exhausted all the strength of the little girl.

The next moment, Cyber's hoarse voice sounded again, full of that special sense of power,

"You see... I killed them... I'm not afraid of them, you help me... I'll help you!"

Catherine didn't know how to answer, but after Cyber said what she wanted most in her heart, she instinctively wanted to verify it, she approached Cyber and watched the man's rapid breathing, she felt like this man was about to die, but... She finally decides to help him!

Even if it's just for an illusory promise, what can a 10-year-old girl who is still growing up do in the face of all this? She can only choose to believe him, because in the past 1 year of displacement, Cyber was the first person to give her a promise.

"I... How can I help you?"

The little girl looked back with difficulty, with a hint of fear, and saw Cyber's eyes, which were closed with exhaustion, and he whispered,

"them in their pockets... Find money, go buy food... Any food, buy it back, and don't forget to promise... I'll help you, as long as you help me... I'll kill anyone for you!"

Catherine took a step back, her emaciated face with her big eyes and the stains on her face that looked like a poor kitten, her eyes shining with a residual fear, not a disguise, for a man who could kill four killers with guns, a little girl like her was almost defenseless.

But after hesitating for 20 seconds, Catherine acted quickly, throwing M9 aside, and the hope she had never had in her dark life made her forget her original mission.

It wasn't until she walked out of the alley with more than $200 in her hand that an idea popped into her mind, she had money, enough money for her to pay the daily quota of Jamie's gang, enough for her to survive for 3 days, should she leave the dying man behind and go back to Narrow Island...

Catherine couldn't help but glance back, there was a crooked alley behind her, no one would know if she was walking now, no one would know about her agreement with Seber except for her and God, after Seber died, she wouldn't have to worry about being known about all this... But the promise, the promise of Cyber.

That man can kill four people, and he's sure he can kill the fat guy Jon who has been abusing her. As for what she would do after Jon died, Catherine didn't think about it, she habitually clasped her arms with both hands, touching her skin, which had all kinds of scars... There were bruises from beatings, and finally burns from cigarette butts, and it seemed that it had happened recently.

The burning pain came over Catherine, and she cried out and begged Jon to let her go, but he didn't! He even wanted to assault her, and if he hadn't been stopped by someone else at the end, I'm afraid he would...

Hatred... The light of hatred appeared in Catherine's eyes, the less likely the child who has experienced happiness is to accept the darkness, Jon brought her a darkness, and the darkness breeds hatred, the power of hatred is huge, it can change many things, so Catherine's direction towards the narrow island was slightly reversed, there, there was a hot dog stand.

After Catherine left, Cyber lay alone on the ground, feeling the pain and hunger coming from his bones, he didn't know if the girl would keep her promise, but he could only hope for Catherine now, he didn't even dare to let Catherine go looking for Daddy, that would probably attract Jamie's attention, in his current state, once discovered... It's dead.

And the little girl didn't necessarily know where the old gun bar was.

This feeling of waiting for death disgusted Cyber unusually, but he couldn't help it, he was very unwilling, but he couldn't help it! After arriving in the new world, he thought he could get rid of his past fate, but only three days later, he faced the same bad ending.

"If that power really exists..."

Cyber opened his eyes and looked at the sky above the narrow alley, it was a blue sky, "If it was you who brought me into this world... Then let me see your power again... You tell me how cruel the world is in this way... I don't know what you want me to do... But at least... At least let me survive first!"

After 10 minutes, Cyber felt like he had reached the limit, and it was at this moment that he heard footsteps, a little flustered, like running footsteps, and when he saw the figure of the girl with a big bag and most of the hot dog in her mouth, Cyber let out the deepest laugh, like a night owl in the dark.

"Hehe... Ha.. Hahaha... survived..."

Catherine put the 20 hot dogs in her hand next to Cyber, and while biting the hot dog in her hand, she took out one, tore open the package, and stuffed it into Cyber's mouth, which was very gentle, but Cyber thanked her from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, this little beggar girl in a dirty dress, thin and unseemly, with big eyes and messy hair, was like an angel with a warm light all over her body, and she brought him hope for life.

Biting, swallowing, in the blink of an eye, 5 large hot dogs were stuffed into Cyber's mouth, the feeling of which hot food fell into the stomach, so that the hot flow in his body was like a wolf dog smelling blood, quickly pounced again, burned, ignited, the food was quickly digested, and the energy began to flow in his body.

His arms regained some strength, and he smiled hard at Catherine, the blood-stained smile that made the little girl with the second hot dog and ready to enjoy lunch take a step back.

"Don't be afraid, child, I won't hurt you, from today onwards, you are mine... Well, my little angel. ”

Surrounded by four corpses, he and the silent Catherine ate the large bag of food, and the last bit of sausage fell into his mouth, he was still hungry, but he had regained his strength to move a little.

The wound in the abdomen is beginning to heal, while the wound on the thigh has begun to scab over.

He rubbed his empty stomach and tilted his head to look at Catherine, who also looked up at him, he reached out and touched the top of Catherine's head, he could feel the child's body trembling.

He could feel the emotion, like a scene in that chaotic memory, in a snowy weather, he was also squatting in the corner like this, and then fate took him into that place, into a life as a "weapon", he didn't really hate that life, if it weren't for the man who touched his head and asked him if he would like to go with him, maybe he would have starved to death after that snow.

This strong sense of déjà vu took control of Cyber, who looked at the little girl, who looked like a helpless kitten, and said in as gentle a voice as possible,

"Thank you... You saved me, wait for me to recover some, no... Wait for me to change my clothes, and... Then I'll take you to fulfill my promise!"

He stretched out his hand to her, and Catherine, who was full, looked at the hand that reached in front of her, slender and clean, and her nails were neatly built, it didn't look like a man's hand, but at this time, there was blood on that hand that was almost dry, Catherine was in a trance, how long had it been since no one had spoken to herself like this?

After her parents were separated, she wandered in Gotham, was sent to an orphanage, was abused, escaped on a rainy night, and was "adopted" by the fat Jon, until now, for 1 year, no one has treated her like this, not very warm, at least an equal and friendly attitude.

Catherine had a lot of vigilance against the strange man in front of her, and this vigilance was the greatest guarantee to ensure that she lived alone for 1 year, but at this moment, in the face of Cyber, who was not handsome and did not have much affinity, in this empty alley with only four corpses, Catherine wanted to hold that hand.

She stretched out her hand, and she saw her own hand, dirty, cracked, wounded, and the tears that had just been left behind, which made the palm look terrible, and she was a little ashamed and wanted to retract it, but Cyber's palm reached forward and held the small hand in the palm of her hand.

It's warm, that's Catherine's first feeling, and Cyber's eyes narrow, like an old cat with a smile on his face, he hates thieves, he hates robbers, he hates everything that makes him angry, he beats them, he scares them, he kills them.

But he was unusually tolerant of this kitten-like girl who had just saved him.

He pulled Catherine out of the alley, resisting a little at first, but soon she caught up with him, and Cyber looked down at her and whispered,

"My name is Cyber, Cyber Hawke, what about you?"

Cyber walked up to the black man who had been killed, reached out and skillfully removed the black trench coat, he was covered in blood, going out like this would definitely call the police, he had to go back to the bar first to change his clothes, he put the fairly clean trench coat over his body, and the little girl whispered in a dry and hoarse voice,

"Catherine... My name is Catherine. ”

The next moment, Cyber squatted in front of her, stretched out his hands and rubbed her face, she looked at Cyber who squinted his eyes and smiled in surprise, and the latter scratched her nose again, this sudden intimacy made Catherine take a step back, as if she was about to turn around and run away the next moment, but then, Cyber propped up her body with some dizziness and patted her head,

"Let's go, let's go home and change clothes first!"

Cyber took a deep breath, he took out the last crumpled cigarette from the cigarette case that had been crushed in the fierce battle, held it to his mouth, and in the smoke filled, he looked left and right, and then coughed hard,

"Do you know how to get to the Old Gun Bar?"

"It's... Is it the bar in the docklands? ”

"Alright, then take me away, Catherine, I... Well, I'm not very familiar with this place. ”

Cyber wiped the blood from his face, then grinned at her,

"We're going to get your revenge! But before we do, we'll have to go back and have a big meal!"
