"That potted plant is called Frank. He likes to watch talk shows on TV. This is because he has no feet and can only watch TV at home."

"Uh-huh!" The receptionist folded his hands on his chest. Listening to Li Lin's poor English, it was obvious that he was not very proficient.

Li Lin ignored her and continued his explanation, "But there was a power outage recently. I checked that the fuse was not broken. It should be because no one has paid the electricity bill for a long time. Now Frank is dying without a TV at home. He even said that if there is no TV You’re going to eat me!”

Li Lin sat on the chair and began to shiver and shiver. This was actually mainly because he deliberately wore less clothes. Gotham was originally a cloudy city near the sea, especially in the morning, he was shivering from the cold.

But the receptionist was obviously moved. She even lowered her hands folded on her chest. Looking at this poor child, she already thought that this was another child who had been trafficked to Gotham since he was a child. In order to survive, he had to Working for the terrifying Poison Girl, facing man-eating plants all day long.

"And I have no place to live. I used to live in the park, but now I live in Du Teng's house and help her take care of the man-eating plants!" Li Lin said while sobbing, "Now there is a power outage, and I have no identification. , I can't pay the electricity bill at all, so I...can only come to Arkham to find Poison Ivy and ask her to pay the electricity bill! And my salary."

Looking at the sobbing child in front of her, the receptionist's soft heart was severely touched. She reached out and squeezed his hands tightly, "It's okay, it's okay. Let me ask you!"

Then she picked up the phone next to her and started asking Li Lin about meeting Du Teng.

Li Lin also stopped pretending to cry and looked at her with big watery eyes full of expectation, as lovable as a pure and innocent deer.

oh!This damn Gotham rain, this damn Court of Owls, I used to be such a pure person...

Li Lin felt ashamed that he had deceived the enthusiastic front desk, and severely condemned himself in his heart.

Li Lin waited for almost two and ten minutes, and finally got a good result. He could see Du Tengnu.

Li Lin didn't find this situation strange. He knew that the person in charge of this matter was a coward. He also happened to be at work today. Li Lin used the Sophon system to check it. He found that he was worried all day long.

In order for Du Tengnu to escape from prison and see all the dead plants in her house, so that she would not go crazy and go around killing people, there was a high probability that she would agree to his request. In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, his young face was a bonus, and he had a miserable life as an extra bonus.

There is no threat at all in their eyes.

And this story of an orphan surviving Gotham is also a true portrayal of many Gotham children. This is the information he collected in the streets and alleys using the sophon system.

His situation can even be said to be bright and bright, and he can also be said to have survived and reached adulthood.

What he had always been puzzled about before was why Gotham was still so energetic and full of energy when gangs were fighting every day and countless people died. This was something his Eastern mind didn't understand.

It wasn't until he lived in Gotham for two months, hearing gunshots every night, and occasionally seeing people cleaning the ground in the morning, and children selling newspapers in rags, that he came to understand this city up close.

This is a developed country. Many people have been deceived by propaganda and smuggled to Gotham at their own expense, hoping to make a fortune here. Moreover, this is a coastal city, and it is easier for gangs to sneak into Gotham through containers. Moreover, the police department and the government are basically in ruins. I don’t care about the smuggling issue.

It was difficult for Li Lin, who had no identity, to adapt. He thought Gotham was full of police officers catching illegal immigrants, so he was cautious all day long at first.

As for the smugglers who want to make a fortune, because they have no identity and cannot do ordinary jobs, they can only join the gangs immediately to make money, and then pay the gangs to get them an American identity. It can be said to be a combination of transportation and job hunting.

Only the poor place like Gotham is better suited to join the United States. After all, the government here has probably been infiltrated by gangs for a long time. After all, the Penguin has the possibility of becoming the mayor.

As a result, there is an endless supply of gangsters, and Gotham people are not surprised by this.

"Come with me!"

Li Lin cut off his memories and followed a sturdy guard. He also waved and thanked the lady at the front desk.

They crossed layers of iron fences, turned left and right in the building, and were searched. After half an hour, they were placed waiting outside a wooden door.

He waited for almost another hour, watching the crowds of people coming in and out of the door. Most of them were women and children visiting the prison.

While waiting on the bench, he saw many children playing with trains on the ground.

This was the first time Li Lin knew that visiting prisoners could actually give gifts to prisoners, but they only needed to be checked by guards. If he had known that he would also bring something to Du Teng.

Finally arriving at Li Lin, he walked in empty-handed and passed by a mother and son.

Peng~

Loud door slam!There was a sound behind Li Lin. The interview room was relatively small, with only four windows, thick fully enclosed glass, and an old telephone fixed on the wall next to it.Guards with weapons stood at the four corners, including even flamethrowers.

Li Lin sat on the stool and waited for a while before he saw Poison Ivy opening the wooden door and walking in.

A red-haired woman in her 20s walked over with graceful and charming steps. Her skin was emerald green, and the orange prison uniform she wore covered her graceful curves. She pulled out a chair and sat down gracefully.

Those sweet eyes stared at Li Lin's face, as if she was recalling and looking for something.

These emerald green eyes reminded Li Lin of the green grass in spring.

She stretched out her slender jade hand, picked up the old phone hanging on the wall, and tapped the thick glass between them to remind the fascinated boy.

Li Lin swallowed and hurriedly took off the phone from the wall and put it to his ear.

A low, magnetic voice came from the phone, "Who are you and why did you come to see me?"

"Um, I'm... Li Lin," Li Lin told himself in his heart. Now is not the time to look at beautiful women. "I'm living in your house now."

"Live at my house?"

The voice on the phone became louder. Poison Ivy girl Ivy didn't expect that thieves would dare to live directly in her house. What did Frank do for food?

"It's a long story. Basically, I had no identity, no place to sleep, and then I moved into your house." Seeing Du Tengnu who was about to get angry in front of him, Li Lin quickly added, "But I didn't live in vain. , I water and fertilize the plants in your house every day, and listen to classical music to them. Even Frank said I did a good job and asked me to watch talk shows with him."

"Didn't I ask the young man from the neighbor's house to help me take care of the plants? I also gave him a good salary." Poison Ivy was surprised to think why Li Lin was taking care of the plants at home.

"Well... Frank told me that he didn't come after working for seven days, and there was a reason that is difficult to tell you here."

God, Du Tengnu knew better than to expect anything from Gotham people. The plants at home almost died of thirst. She had a lot of affection for Li Lin, who helped her take care of the plants.
