Soon, the circus show began, and the first few shows were animal taming shows, whether it was Bruce or Selena, they had no interest in this kind of show, they were performing on stage, and the two were chatting off the stage.

"You said you used to be a hawker, so why didn't you continue to steal?"

Selena rolled her eyes and said, "My eldest young master, don't you think it's better to be a vendor than stealing?" ”

Bruce turned his head to look at Selena, he originally wanted to say that at least being a hawker was not illegal, but after being in contact with Selena for so long, he also knew that the life at the bottom of Gotham might not be the same as he thought.

After spending so much time with Selena, he recognized the reality that in the dark city of Gotham, some people are already struggling to be alive, and it is tantamount to a joke to talk to them about what to abide by the law at this time.

"Actually, it's the hawkers, the tobacco boys and the flower girls who are the worst." Selena sighed, with a little sympathy in her tone, she said: "When I told you about my experience before, you might think that the lucky mother who taught me the art of stealing is a bad person, she taught me the skills, let me steal, and used to beat me, but in fact, I don't hate her, and I still talk to her on the phone......"

Bruce showed a puzzled expression, and he asked, "Are you still connected to that thief?" ”

"We don't talk about business, just ask her if she's in good health or something, it's just some polite words, although I was a little angry that she wanted to take away the diamond necklace I stole before, but later, after my anger subsided, I still called her......"

Seeing Bruce's slightly shocked expression, Selena suddenly laughed, and she said: "You are Master Wayne, there are people holding you wherever you go, in order to let you give money, everyone can whisper to please you, but I am different, the most praise I have received in my life is when I followed my lucky mother to learn art." ”

"She always said that I was the most talented kid she'd ever met, that she was a quick learner of everything, you know, she was a barmaid in the East End when she was younger, and she could boast to the sky with a mouth, and when she was in a good mood, she would even sing and let me dance in her young dress......"

Selena put her hands on her knees, took a deep breath, and said, "I know you think I'm useless, but she's really nice to me." ”

"You might think it's a great sin for her to find all kinds of kids to help her steal things, but in fact, Lucky Mom is good for these kids."

"Her eyes are very vicious, and the children she picks out are very talented and can make a lot of money for her, so her hands are relatively loose, and occasionally she will leak two pocket money for us ......"

"But the old scoundrel next door is different, he has some hawkers and tobacco boys under his hands, these children have to hand over all their daily income to him, and they have to search their bodies every day, and they are never allowed to hide a penny, and if they fail to achieve the goal he set, they will be beaten badly."

"He only gave the children leftovers, and when they were in a bad mood, he made them hungry, and I once saw a child who wanted to run, and he cut off his feet and bled to death."

Selena shrugged her shoulders and said to Bruce, "Actually, I'm not hungry at all, and I don't really like pancakes with cheese, but when I meet this kind of vendor, as long as I have a little money in my pocket, I'll buy something, so that maybe they can have a full meal tonight." ”

"You know what?" Bruce looked Selena in the eye and said, "Every time you tell me a story like this, it makes my heart weigh down instantly." ”

Selena smiled, she reached out and touched Bruce's cheek, and said, "That's exactly the problem, it's a sad story for you, but for us, it's a very ordinary day." ”

Selena took another deep breath and said, "Actually, you also taught me a lot of things, such as what context you talked about last time......

"I think about it for a while, I seem to have heard my lucky mother say that part of the money she gets will also be handed over, and the person she turns it in will also be handed over, anyway, they will be handed over layer by layer, and finally handed over to one person......

Bruce narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who's that?" ”

Selena shook her head and said, "I don't even know Lucky Mom's boss, how do I know who the final one is?" ”

"There's a guy controlling the kids in Gotham, right?"

Selena nodded and said, "Actually, the children of Gotham are very easy to control, most of these children are orphans, they are either dead or abandoned by their parents, as long as they give them a bite to eat, they can be driven at will." ”

"And ......," Bruce received, "there is hardly anyone going to embarrass this group of kids, even those fancy nightclubs, and let those tobacco kids go in and sell cigarettes......"

Obviously, he thought back to the occasions he had first entered, which he had not cared about in the past, because he had become accustomed to it, but now he remembered that at balls, dinners, and banquets, there were children waiting at the edge of the venue, waiting for some rich man to come to them to buy cigarettes.

"That's it, if these children mess up something, or make some mistakes, they just need to apologize with a pitiful look and beg for mercy a few more times, and no one who wants to save face will embarrass them."

Bruce didn't expect that chatting with Selena would give him a windfall, and there has always been a person in Gotham who uses the layers of downward networks to control these children everywhere.

"And that's not all." Selena continued, "These kids also form cliques with each other, and that's been the case since I was a kid, and it's especially competitive with each other. ”

"You know, some areas are doing very well, some areas are not, everyone wants to seize the area where the business is good, except for the adults above the head and grabbing the territory, the children below are also forming gangs, we all call these gangs 'youth gangs'."

"And what gang were you involved in at that time?"

Selena shook her head and said, "I'm not involved in any gang, it's all on the ground, and I'm a snitch." ”

"I don't need to occupy any territory to steal, or whose territory I want to go to, and I don't have to say hello to them, they won't be able to catch me anyway."

"Everyone in the East End has heard of my name, and they still know it, when the black cat on the eaves is infested, don't think about aiming with a gun, because you can't hit her at all, it's just a waste of bullets."

"Of the four Snitches in the East End, I am the only one who has the ability to travel to and from the whole of Gotham, and the others don't even dare to enter the shopping street, because once they are caught by the gang leaders with heads and faces, they are finished, but I am not afraid, because I know that they will not be able to catch me."

Whenever I hear Selena talk about her career, Bruce has a strange feeling, Selena can be said to be a typical example of being out of the circle with her strength, or that sentence, but as long as her business ability is a little worse, it is impossible to get to where she is today.

This kind of life experience of relying on her own efforts to turn over and live a good life should be very inspirational and honorable, but her profession is a thief, and the harder she works, the more judgmental her life is.

The two have been chatting about the children of Gotham, and Selena's low-level intelligence and Bruce's top-level intelligence are combined, and the two of them work together to deduce who the person who controls the network is.

During this time, Aisha's attention was constantly attracted by various performances on stage, and she was rarely quiet.

Suddenly, the lights on the stage brightened, and the host said in a high-pitched voice: "Ladies! Gentlemen! Next, we will give you the most exciting - trapeze performance!! ”

Two actors, a man and a woman, took the stage, and as they climbed up the ladder, the host was still working hard to introduce: "I think some people may have heard of the Grayson family, which was once known as the greatest trapeze show family in the United States......"

"Some people may have heard that the previous generation of members of the Grayson family fell from a high altitude and fell to pieces because of a trapeze performance error......"

The host whistled and said, "But let me say, that's the thrill of this kind of show, and who would want to see it if there was no danger of falling?" You're right? ”

The host's witty words were originally intended to heat up the atmosphere, but the tall man named Grayson, who had just stepped onto the high platform, clenched his fists.

Just as he was about to start performing, he shouted into the audience, "Grayson is the greatest trapeze show family, we ......"

At this time, he saw that the owner of the circus under the stage made a threatening gesture to him, he turned his head to look at his wife next to him, and finally closed his mouth.

The owner of the circus cursed loudly from below: "What is this idiot talking about?!" It's Wayne down there! I'll just say he's going to spoil my good deeds, this bitch raised it! ”

At this time, the Graysons had already started their show, the so-called trapeze, which was actually a parade stick swinging around in the air, making all kinds of turning and tumbling movements.

I have to say that the Graysons are indeed very level, and the husband and wife cooperate tacitly, whether it is the same or symmetrical movements, they are all pleasing to the eye, and the audience applauds.

Aisha was very happy to see it, after all, even if Selena was skilled, but the manor had limited conditions after all, Bruce would not agree to Selena swinging around at such a high place, but the current performance satisfied Aisha's hobby of watching people's activities.

She let out a shrill scream and kept waving her hand at the stage, Bruce hugged her, afraid that she would roll over to the seat in the front seat, Selena patted Bruce's arm and said, "Give her some water, I heard her voice cry hoarse." ”

Bruce took out the water bottle and was about to give Aisha a drink, when the two trapeze artists on the stage were in the middle of the performance, and the couple landed on the high stage, and Mrs. Grayson happened to see Aisha waving at him.

The lady looked a little haggard, but she smiled back and waved her hand at Aisha, who was evidently a little too excited to be liked by Mrs. Grayson.

Seeing that she had been noticed, Aisha became even more excited, and she lunged straight forward to escape from Bruce's arms.

But at this time, Bruce was unscrewing the water bottle, and Aisha's forward movement hit him right on the arm, causing the water in the water bottle to spill all over him.

With a helpless expression, Bruce handed Aisha to Selena and said, "I'll go to the bathroom and get my clothes tied." ”

Just as Bruce left his seat and walked to the bathroom, all this was watched by the circus owner.

That Grayson first confronted him, and even punched him, but before the performance, he said some crazy things, and that Grayson's wife deliberately tried to attract the attention of the little princess of the Wayne family, causing Wayne to spill water on his body, if he was dissatisfied with this, then his sponsorship would be all in vain......

The circus owner's face was growing gloomy, and it was clear that his anger had reached the extreme, and the Graysons had driven him mad with this behavior.
