At the library door, Dean looked at the darkening sky, turned his head, and asked Kassandra while gesticulating.

"Gotham General Hospital is still quite far from here, and it must be late when you come back, are you okay?"

Kassandra shook her head slightly, making a few gestures in response.

"It doesn't matter, I've been wandering for many years, sometimes often going without sleep for days in a row, day and night are pretty much the same for me."

"Uh...... Sorry for the superfluous words. ”

Dean said with a blank expression.

"Also, you don't have to gestinate with me, Dean, I can read what you're trying to say."

Kassandra then made a series of gestures to Dean.

"I know that you are deliberately communicating with me in the same way, in order to make me not have negative emotions because I am different from ordinary people, and make our relationship more cordial, I appreciate your feelings of taking care of me like this, but it is not practical, I am used to the difference between me and others."

"Actually, Barbara used to communicate with me by gesturing like you did, but she doesn't do that anymore."

Dean nodded knowingly, he was talking and signing at the same time, in fact, he himself felt a little awkward to do so.

After all, Dean rarely uses sign language to communicate with others, and speaking has formed an instinct that cannot be changed temporarily, so it has evolved into a situation where he uses sign language and spoken language at the same time.

Since Kassandra said that it didn't matter, and brought out the living precedent of Barbra, Dean was naturally as good as he could, spoke directly and normally, and no longer continued to make gestures.

"Then again, Kassandra's gestures, if I'm not mistaken, mean 'I can read what you're saying'...... Why is it watching, shouldn't it be listening? ”

Dean thought strangely to himself, but he didn't dwell too much on the little episode.

It should be that the continuous gesturing is too fast and mistaken, just like a normal person will talk about a quick mouth.

Dean and Kassandra walked in the direction of Gotham General Hospital, trying to stop a taxi on the way.

Although in Gotham, it's best not to get into any car driven by a stranger, whether it's a bus or a taxi, especially at night.

But Dean just got his driver's license two months ago, and now he hasn't bought a car, and he lacks a means of transportation in his daily life.

The distance between Gotham General Hospital and Gotham Municipal Library is not small, and it takes at least more than an hour to walk to the avenue, and nearly three hours to make a round trip, in which case of course, you should give priority to taking a taxi.

In normal times, Dean would definitely not waste this money, just find a place where no one is around, change into his copycat version of the bat suit, and use the bat glider to fly around over Gotham, anyway, Batman is not at home, so he is not afraid at all.

Wearing this clothes, no one dares to approach in the alleys, those robbers and addicts who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, don't say it to block the road, there are not a few people who turn around and run away when they see Dean on the spot.

The Bat Suit is a must-have artifact for a late-night outing in Gotham.

But now that there is a dumb little sister by his side, Dean can no longer take those crooked ways, he has to take the avenue.

As a result, I don't know if today is a collective holiday for the Gotham rough car company, the two walked on the road for a while, and they didn't even see a taxi.

It's really impossible to go over like this, why don't you let Kassandra go back first?

On the side of the road, Dean thought with his chin in one hand.

"Kassandra, or you'll ...... today"

Before Dean could finish speaking, Kassandra suddenly ran into a nearby alley.

"Hey, hey! It's dangerous, not the place you little girl should be! ”

Seeing Kassandra's movements, Dean hurriedly stopped and hurriedly rushed over to drag Kassandra back.

"Hmm!"

However, when Dean grabbed Kassandra by the shoulder with his hand, he was shocked to find that he couldn't pull Kassandra!

Even, Dean's body was unconsciously carried forward by Kassandra!

Disbelief, he continued to pull Kassandra back, but the latter remained unmoved.

Not only that, but Kassandra was sprinting faster and faster, and Dean found herself almost unable to keep up!

"How can this little girl's strength be so great? Still running so fast? Professional sprinters are no more than that, right? ”

It was left to Dean in his heart to think unbelievably.

"Is she a superpower? Mutants? Or aliens? ”

After rushing into the alley, Kassandra's figure stopped instantly, and she looked into the alley with a blank expression.

Not far away, a thin boy wearing glasses was sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, and three sturdy boys of the same age surrounded him in the middle, with a mocking and contemptuous expression on his face.

These people are not very old, eighteen or nineteen years old, they should still be in college, and most of them are public universities in Gotham.

The largest boy in the lead stepped on the wall on the shoulder of the man with glasses, and said with a pompous expression

"Mackey, you made a big mistake today, and that was passing through this alley, you know? This is our place! ”

Immediately afterwards, the two younger brothers next to him immediately said in unison: "Our territory!" ”

"I'm telling you, we don't take garbage here, you're not welcome! Yes, that's right, you're that insignificant little trash! ”

The big boy continued to verbally insult the glasses man, Mackey.

"Trash! Litter! "The little brothers are cheering on the side.

The big man reached out and groped in the pockets of the man with glasses, and finally found twenty-one dollars.

"You just have a little money on you? Sure enough, garbage is garbage. ”

Looking at this scene in front of him, Dean's eyelids twitched wildly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

What the hell is this? Gotham still has this kind of talent?

A look of displeasure appeared on Kassandra's face next to her, as if she was very unaccustomed to this kind of bullying of the weak.

"Huh?"

At this time, the three bullies noticed the arrival of two uninvited guests.

The big boy first looked at Dean and Kassandra carefully, and then a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he said to the two of them arrogantly, "Two more little trash." ”

"Listen, you two little trash! This is our Mask Gang's territory, and anyone who wants to get over here will have to pay for it! ”

As he spoke, the three bullies all took out a pair of strange skull masks, yellow, green and red, which not only looked not scary, but had an inexplicable sense of comedy.

Anyway, their faces have been seen clearly, what is the point of wearing faces now?

Dean didn't understand, but he was blown away.

After a few seconds, Dean's eyes became a little more serious as the three Kamen Gang members pulled out their weapons.

Two baseball bats and a golf club.
