In a somewhat dark corridor, Maggie, carrying a half-used cloth bag, walked briskly to a room at the end of the corridor, she turned around, took a key from the pocket of her thick skirt, *** the keyhole, opened the door, entered the room, turned around and closed the door.

There is no hesitation in this series of movements, skillfully as if she is in her own home, but in fact, this is not her own apartment.

As soon as the door was closed, Maggie took a breath of relief, as if remembering something, and after a pause, regained her courage and walked back into the house.

She saw a picture on the coffee table in the living room, and Maggie stepped forward to pick up the frame, on which were her and Selena's smiles.

This is the only photo they have taken together, she came this time, just to get this photo back, Selena left too quickly, too rough to clean up, until she arrived on the West Coast, only to find that the photo was still in the original room, called Maggie, Maggie immediately rushed over.

Maggie cherished the photo and put it in her purse, and just as she was about to turn around and walk to the door, she suddenly heard movement in the bedroom.

Maggie was immediately alert, and suddenly, she heard a knock on the bedroom door and a figure walked out.

Bruce closed the bedroom door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a black hole pointed at him.

The woman opposite was wearing a half-new sweater and a strap skirt made of tweed, but it was not very well maintained, and it was already fluffy at this time, and the cloth bag she was carrying in her hand was even more washed and yellow.

Bruce immediately knew who was on the other side, and he said, "You're Selena's friend Maggie, right? I've heard her talk about you."

Maggie squinted her eyes and pointed her pistol at Bruce's head, and she asked, "Who are you?" How did you end up here?"

"I'm her boyfriend, Bruce Wayne." Bruce walked over to the couch, threw a lady's shirt on the back of the couch, and said, "I met Selena before she left, she doesn't look very good, you know what's going on?"

Maggie still hadn't put down her pistol, but he looked at the man across from him to make sure he was indeed from the rich area.

Men in the Gotham slums don't wear leather shoes, and the road conditions here are so bad that they wear shiny leather shoes when they go out, and when they come back, they have to turn matte, and most of them wear durable boots, and some simply weld rain boots to their feet.

Moreover, the men here generally don't take care of their beards, don't trim their sideburns so cleanly, and don't wear a watch on their wrists that although they don't know the brand, they know that there is only one watch in the world at a glance.

Maggie slowly lowered her gun and said, "You saw her before she left, so why didn't you stop her? Let her run that far alone?"

Bruce reached out and touched the scar on his face, and Maggie saw his movements and understood what was going on.

But she was angry in her heart, after all, before, when Selena felt vulnerable and helpless, Bruce Wayne probably didn't know where to wave, and now she remembered to find it, it was too late.

Maggie didn't want to talk to him at all and turned to leave, but Bruce quickly walked up to her and stopped her, saying, "Can you find the landlord of this house?" How many months has this house been rented?"

"What the hell do you want to do?" Maggie asked him, "If you really have nothing to do, go back to your rich area, and don't come here to make trouble!"

"I want to live here." Bruce replied, "If this house has a lease term, I should be able to live here, right?"

"I'm really looking for trouble!" Maggie walked straight out, Bruce called her from behind, Maggie sighed when she came to the door, turned to Bruce and said, "I don't care what crazy you're going to do, but this kind of place is not for you, if you don't want to leave your life here, you'd better go back quickly!"

"I'm serious." Bruce said, "I'm going to live in the slums for at least a month, from now on."

Maggie looked him in the eye and said, "I don't care if you risk your life, but as far as I know, Selena didn't come out that quickly, and she would only be more upset if she knew you were dead."

"She didn't tell you, me

......" Bruce stopped talking, he knew that Maggie and Selena had a very good relationship, almost to the point of talking about everything, so Maggie should know that he was Batman.

"I know, every night, you fly between the tall buildings in a tightsuit, but it doesn't work, you know? Broad?" Maggie sighed and said, "I'm not as strong as you, and I'm not even healthy enough, but I'm able to survive here because I grew up here."

"And you, you've been soaked in a honey jar since you were a child, and you're not the same as us, so no matter how strong you are, you can't survive here, get out of here quickly, I'll just say the last time."

With that, Maggie left, leaving only one last sentence before she went out: "The lease of the house is still two months, if you want to live, you'd better bring more bodyguards."

After Maggie leaves, Bruce starts to clean up the room, and as he says, he is serious, he has to know what the level is about before he knows how difficult it is to get through it, and how to get through it.

So, he plans to live in the slum for a month or two to see what the hell is going on here.

However, he didn't rent a house for himself, because he didn't know where to rent it, and if he rented a house in Bruce Wayne's name, he would definitely still rent a luxury apartment in the end, after all. No rental agent would dare to rent a house in a slum to Wayne.

At this time, Bruce thought that Selena was leaving temporarily, and the rent of her house should not be due, and she could borrow it to live for a while, and as he expected, the lease period was ample and sufficient.

And the only problem is that there are too many old things of Selena here, which makes Bruce feel very uncomfortable, and it is not only Selena who can't come out in a short time, but also Bruce.

He really loves Catwoman, she's so mysterious and passionate, a lot of times, Bruce thinks. What kind of environment did Selena grow up in to create such a mysterious, changeable and charming personality.

After sending Maggie away, Bruce began to clean up the room, in addition to making room for the rest of his life, he also wanted to see Selena's usual living environment.

The location of this apartment is good, it is the side of the east side that is closer to the city center, but the orientation of the house is not very good, the bedroom and living room windows are facing east, only a short period of time after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the lighting is better.

The structure of the one-bedroom house is very simple, the door is a small living room, the left hand side is the bedroom, and then there is a small bathroom, and the living room has a small balcony for drying clothes, although there is no kitchen, it is also a sparrow although small, all organs.

However, Bruce had never lived in such a small room in his life, and standing in the middle of this small living room, he felt that he could touch the wall as soon as he reached out, what difference was this from going to jail?

He thought, maybe Selena is relatively petite, so he specially rented such a house, and the height difference between him and Selena is almost 20 centimeters, and the body shape is also very different, so it is normal to live unaccustomedly.

Coming to the balcony, Bruce looked down and saw a row of low, low-rise houses underneath so dense that Bruce wondered if they could really see the sun, well, lighting was the least important living condition in Gotham, because there was no sun in the first place.

As Bruce was about to get back to the house, he heard a noise on the balcony upstairs, and he instinctively ducked to the side, then heard a "vomit", and a puddle of vomit fell on the railing of his balcony.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a drunken man lying on the balcony throwing down, holding a wine bottle in his hand, staggering and falling, slamming on the railing with a "pop", and the fragments were right at Bruce's feet.

Bruce was about to speak, but he heard the drunk start scolding, many of which Bruce had never heard before, but it didn't prevent him from hearing that the drunk seemed to be scolding him.

Bruce has been taught since he was a child that if a dog bites you, you can't bite the dog in reverse, you can go to the dog owner to negotiate compensation, you can call the shelter center to force them to be contained, and there is no need to worry about the dog.

So, cloth

Ruth just looked at the drunk for a moment, then turned and went back to the house.

But just as he was tidying up the living room, he heard a "bang" sound coming from the window, and when he walked out again with a broom, he found that a large bag of garbage had been thrown on his balcony, and because of the fall, all kinds of soup and crumbs in it were spilled out, exuding a bad smell.

When Bruce looked up again, the drunk looked at him and smiled, and made an insulting gesture in his hand, and Bruce reached for his waist, only to find that he was not carrying a gun.

He came here alone, without Batman's equipment, without any weapons, without even money, thinking of this, Bruce felt that he didn't have time to deal with this person now, and there were more important things to do.

Fortunately, the drunk seemed to be overdrunk and fell asleep on the balcony, and Bruce went back to the living room and began to clean up.

He found a little money under the cushions of the couch, about $20, the key to the door at the bottom of the closet, and another under the carpet.

What's more, he found a small lady's pistol in the hidden compartment of the TV cabinet, the kind that can be put in a very delicate handbag, of course, it is much weaker than the usual pistol, and must be attached very close, preferably on someone's head, in order to kill him.

Bruce fiddled with the small gun, he thought, he had a weapon now, and with his skills, basic safety was guaranteed.

Sitting on the couch, Bruce looked at what he had now, first of all, he had $20, a small pistol, two house keys, an inkwell, a few clothes that Selena would have to take with him, and nothing else.

Bruce looked at the $20 first, he had no idea about the price of things in the slums, he didn't know how much he could buy for $20, but he compared his consumption level, and then felt that if he didn't make money right away, he would be hungry today.

After all, the restaurant that Bruce Wayne usually goes to costs at least a thousand dollars, and the tip for the waiter alone is more than that, and Bruce is not even sure if the money can buy a handful of vegetables.

To spend a month or two here, it's not as simple as a day or two, he must maintain adequate nutrition, carbs, grease and vitamin C must meet the standards, otherwise, he can't be considered a normal survival, and Bruce's purpose is to see how difficult it is to survive in the slums.

After thinking about it for a while, Bruce felt that he still had to settle dinner first, he could cook, but there was no kitchen in this house at all, so what does Selena usually eat? You don't buy ready-made ones every day, do you?

Leaving the door with the only belongings on him, Bruce locked the door and turned to head downstairs.

But at this moment, he smelled a very fragrant fragrance, and following the source of the fragrance, Bruce looked towards the window at the end of the corridor, and then he found an open-air kitchen set up on the top of the terrace on the second floor.

At this time, a chubby Asian woman was stir-frying, and Bruce thought about it, but walked down the stairs to her side.

Seeing the stranger, the middle-aged woman raised her vigilance and touched into the cloth bag next to her, Bruce immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Don't pull out the gun, I have no ill intentions, I'm Selena's boyfriend, I just moved here, I want to ask, do you usually cook here?"

"Selena? The little girl who lives on the sixth floor?" The middle-aged woman looked at Bruce and said, "Why did you come to live here? You don't look like you're a resident here......

"Well, I've got a little bit of a problem, anyway......"

"Oh, I see, you must have offended your gangsters, right? There are quite a few people who are hiding debts here." The middle-aged woman put down the spatula and said to him, "Yes, this is the kitchen, you can cook here, but remember to brush the pot."

After saying that, she left with the freshly fried dish, and Bruce took a look and found that the stove and kitchen utensils here were covered with a thick layer of oil, and he had no appetite just by looking at it.
