Chapter 15 Hospitals

"Almost.... The gutter capsized...."

Leon groaned and kicked Bucky's corpse aside, slamming his head against the solid stone wall and gasping for breath, as if he was going to take all the breaths of his life.

The vortex of the aura in the acupuncture points gradually slowed down, the tendons and veins dried up again, the fingertips trembled involuntarily, and the throat was as dry as fire.

Bakina's half-blasted head was still staring at Leon with the only one eye left, his bloodshot pupils cloudy, and only the fierce hatred remained.

The warm blood overflowed, and Li Ang moved his body slightly indifferently, tilted his head, looked directly at the girl and asked hoarsely, "Your name?" ”

“.... Jacqueline, Jacqueline Harris. ”

She said in a trembling voice, not letting go of the gun in her hand, and shaking it at Leon who was lying on the ground.

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, looking Jacqueline up and down, the high-end custom clothes worn by the girl and the particularly low-key old bracelet necklace, combined with her surname....

"Is that Harris from the Harris family?"

As we all know, Gotham is a particularly old city, home to countless families with a long history, such as Bruce Wayne's mother's Wayne family, his mother's Kane family, Penguin's Colbert family, and finally the Elliott family.

These four surnames are the most noble in the city, of course, in recent years, because of the scarcity of heirs, there have been a lot of declines, and only below these four are the Harris family, bankers, industrialists, and there have been several Gotham mayors and judges.

Jacqueline didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"That's going to be easy." Leon let out a breath, got up from the ground with his fingers clasped through the crack in the wall, and said to her, "I saved you once on the school bus, and you shot Bucky to save me once just now, which is equivalent to the two of us being evened, right?" ”

Jacqueline pursed her lips, her thighs missing a trouser leg glowing delicately in the dim light, as if she was silently condemning Leon.

"Put the gun down, I won't be able to break your neck in ten steps," he said, holding up the makeshift brace that wrapped around his left arm, without changing his face, "Now, give me a hand and clean up all these corpses." ”

Jacqueline hesitated and stuck the pistol in her jeans at her waist and said, "Shouldn't we call for help.....?"

"Ah, you can do this kind of thing at any time." Leon grabbed a clown by the collar and dragged him through the sewage ditch, "But I don't want to get into more trouble, you know?" One, I don't want Gotham to know that I killed them, and two, God knows if these clowns have any other accomplices. ”

He gasped for breath and worked with Jacqueline to push all the clowns' bodies to the mouth of the sea at the end of the sewer, and smashed the clowns' faces, palms, and soles of their feet with stones, stripping them of their clothes, so that even if someone found their bodies, it would take a lot of effort to identify them.

Leon then wrapped the stone in the cloth torn from the clowns' clothes and pushed it into the sea with the corpse, the weight of which caused the corpse to sink and the turbulent undercurrent to push it in an unknown direction.

As if that weren't enough, Leon and Jacqueline turned back to where they were, carefully wiping the blood from the steps, picking up bullets from the sewage, and roughly erasing all traces before climbing down the steep steps to the sea and back to the surface of Old Gotham.

Leon, who was covered in stains, leaned on Jacqueline's shoulder and commanded in a hoarse voice, "You'll know what to say when you see Tiaozi, right?" As soon as the stun bomb came in, you went unconscious, and woke up in the sewers to find me in the same coma, because I had been injected with muscle relaxants on the school bus, so you helped me all the way up the steps to the sea. You haven't seen any signs of the clown in the process, and if you ask any questions, you put on a painful look and say you can't remember, you know? ”

Jacqueline, who was also embarrassed, supported Li Ang, nodded when she heard this, looked at the police car not far away, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a voice like a mosquito and a fly: "What then.... Thank you. ”

Leon closed his eyes, listened to the sound of the police officers running over, and said, "No thanks." He completely shut down the aura vortex that was already at the end of the crossbow, and let the effects of the sleeping agent and muscle relaxant take over the body, and he fell into a coma.

————

When Leon opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a bed in a high-class ward, with a heavy plaster cast tied to his left arm that had been restored to its original position, and there was silence all around, except for the monitoring equipment that ticked beside the bed.

After a while, a sunny and handsome young doctor pushed open the door of the ward and walked to the bed in three or two steps, "How do you feel when you wake up, is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?" ”

Li Ang deliberately put on a blank appearance, glanced at his left arm, and asked in a daze, "Am I in the hospital?" How long have I been in a coma? ”

"Three days, seventy-four hours to be exact." The young doctor smiled and said, "To be honest, I was shocked when I detected the amount of barbiturates in your blood, but you don't have to think about it now, and the most important thing is to rest." ”

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and the young doctor wanted to push the door out and scold him with a straight face, but he was completely shrouded by the huge shadow that stepped into the door.

Domingo, Christina, Elizabeth and Isabella, and a family of Red Armadillo Mexican restaurants crammed into the hospital room, carrying fruit baskets and flowers in their hands.

The young doctor looked at Domingo's arms thicker than his thighs and the vicious and horrible tattoos, swallowed, but still plucked up the courage to say, "Please go out, the patient needs to rest now..."

"This kid is an employee of our restaurant, and he saved my daughter," Domingo said with his eyes glared and said in as gentle a tone as possible, "We'll only have two minutes, okay?" ”

With that, Domingo twisted his neck and made a crackling sound like popping beans, and the young doctor had to take two steps back and said helplessly, "Just two minutes." ”

"Thank you very much" Christina breathed a sigh of relief, and ran to Leon's bed with her twin sister, wanting to hug him but taking care of the miscellaneous medical equipment, she had to sit on the edge of the bed gently, helped him tuck the quilt, and said gratefully: "Thank you Leon, thank you very much." ”

Leon smiled and raised his left hand with a plaster cast, and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands." ”

Elizabeth threw her arms around Leon's unbroken right hand and whimpered and turned her head like a little beast begging to be appeased, who sighed helplessly and rubbed Elizabeth's soft hair.

He glanced at the gentle-eyed Christina and said softly, "Don't thank me, I just hope this sick leave won't cost me my job." ”

Domingo kept a straight face, clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Don't worry, boy, your salary will still be paid normally, but you will have to come back to work as soon as you get well." ”
