Chapter 34 The Past of Yinpan Face

"You guessed it right, I am the witch Harley. Do you want a prize?" Harley said calmly.

"Don't get excited, I don't mean any harm!" Selina raised her hands, a few drops of crystal sweat crawling on her nose.

Harley put the gun back and said, "I won't hurt you. If you don't agree, you can leave now."

"You really let me go? Aren't you afraid that I'll call the police? Or, when I turn around, you'll shoot me?" Selina asked suspiciously.

"I would have left here by the time you called the police." As if to increase her persuasion, Harley threw Colt into the box with a "clang" sound.

"Well, I have long suspected that there is something hidden behind the monastery case. The inhumane witch in the news is so different from you." Selina sat back again and sighed in a complicated tone.

Well, even though she is a veteran, she was still tricked by Harley.

To deal with a street gangster like her, Harley didn't even need a pistol.

Holding a pistol and throwing a pistol are all similar to Liu Bei throwing a Dou, a show!

If Selena really dares to slap her butt and walk away, Halle will pounce on her and convince her.

"Will you help me?" Harley asked.

"First, let's talk about what happened in the monastery." Selina said.

Harley hesitated for a moment and sighed: "You are a good person, I really don't know whether I should involve you in this."

"It's just the two of us here." Selina said.

"St. John's Abbey is a devil's nest..."

Hallie gave a general account of her experience in the monastery, but deliberately downplayed some information about the Cross and the Holy Advent Crusade.

"Were you shot after escaping into the woods?" Selina asked.

Harry shook his head, "The monastery is a comfortable place, and those guards have been comfortable for too long. When they entered the forest, I attacked and killed two of them."

"Well, you killed the guard with a dog and an automatic rifle with your bare hands?" Selina was very doubtful.

"Are you a thief?" Harley pointed to the vegetable carton outside the box, "No. 36, Seventh Avenue, Room 835, Mr. Tom, a piece of Mushu Pork... This is a takeout ordered by someone else."

Selena was a little embarrassed and a little ashamed, "I was obviously talking about you, why did it involve me again? Didn't you eat happily before?"

"I don't mean anything else," Harley shook her head, "You are a pickpocket and are not used to fighting head-on, so you don't understand the impact of terrain and environment on combat.

I only have a baseball bat, but I also have a body next to me."

"That old woman Theresa?" Selina frowned and said, "She is useless when she is alive, what can she do after she dies?"

Harley smiled proudly, but her tone was very calm: "The bloody corpse attracted the attention of the dogs, and both hounds rushed over to bite me, ignoring me who was hiding behind the tree trunk.

When the guard saw the hound parked there, he subconsciously thought that I had abandoned the body and ran away.

When they went to drive away the hounds, I suddenly jumped out and gave each of them a club.

The rest was easy, two hounds pounced on me and wanted to bite me, but I had already taken away the guard's automatic rifle."

Harley pointed to the pistol in the corner, "This Colt is also a trophy. Two guards died, and all the dogs were dead. Knowing that I took away the guards' firearms, those cowards no longer dare to pursue me."

"By the way, when I was a child, I often went hunting with my grandfather in the forest. We carried a sports bag half as tall as a man and stayed away from home for days and nights, the kind of long-distance hunting.

For me, entering the woods is like returning to my own home." Finally, she added.

"This is really..." Selena was stunned for a long time and sighed: "You are really a magical girl."

"It's just so so." Harley felt proud in her heart but didn't show it on her face.

After talking to Selena for a few words, her depressed mood improved a lot.

"Then how did you get injured?" Selena asked.

Harley's little face wrinkled up and she said distressedly: "I don't want to deceive you, but there are some things... forget it, there are only two of us here anyway."

"It's the Holy Advent Crusade! The monastery guards are not scary, but they are only the outermost members of the Holy Advent Crusade." She sighed.

"I have never heard the name Holy Advent Crusade before." Selina said.

"This is also my first contact with them. If you look at the news on TV and newspapers now, you should understand how powerful they are."

Speaking of this, Harley couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I escaped from the monastery in the middle of the night and returned to Gotham the next morning.

I thought I was invincible, after all, Detective Gordon and Attorney Harvey listened to the entire live broadcast, and Harvey Dent even recorded the entire process..."

"Detective Gordon must have shot you and betrayed you, right? Alas, you still don't understand Gotham very well. The GCPD is not as trustworthy as the Black Country." Selina was a little excited.

"No, he is a good man..." Harley shook her head, "After returning to Gotham, I called Gordon and Harvey to ask them about the monastery.

As soon as I got through Gordon's call, he shouted to me - the people on the cross are locating your position.

Then I heard the muffled sound of a fist hitting my head.

It was obvious that Gordon had been beaten very badly.

Thanks to Gordon's reminder, when I called Harvey for the second time, I went to Times Square, where there was a huge crowd of people, so I wasn't worried about their location.

Harvey's cell phone fell into the hands of a strange man, and he..."

He tells her to hand over the cross or kill Harvey Dent.

In order to prove his determination, he also let her hear Harvey's miserable howl...

——You idiot, he is just my personal lawyer! Let alone him, even if my mother and father fall into your hands, I will not compromise. I will never compromise!

That's what Harley said at the time.

At the same time, she was also very shocked. The fact that the Crusaders were able to find Harvey so quickly showed that their vigilance and mastery of high-tech technology were very strong.

She used to think that Holy Advent Crusaders "didn't have internet access at home"! (ps)

...

"...The evidence that Harvey collected fell into the hands of that man. Until now, Harvey has even lost contact."

Harley took some wooden boards from the old furniture nearby and relighted them outside the cardboard house. Then she took out a stack of "Gotham Gazette" and opened the fourth page of yesterday's newspaper.

She pointed to a small corner of the newspaper for Selena to read.

"Missing Person Notice": Harvey Dent, 26 years old, lives in the Hanhai Community on 18th Avenue in Queens...

There is also a three-inch black and white photo.

It looks a bit like an obituary...

"Oh, poor Harvey, I caused him trouble." Harley said with emotion.

"It seems that you caused quite a lot of trouble...how did you get shot later?" Selina asked.

"I got in touch with a middle school classmate and planned to go to her house to take shelter, but I didn't expect..."

Today's life living on the streets is certainly not what Harley wants.

She called Helen and prepared to take shelter at a property belonging to the Sertin family.

Helen personally answered the phone and selected the "safe house" for her. When Harley rushed there, she was ambushed.

She even saw Helen with those crusaders...

Whether it was due to coercion, profit, or the fact that the Sirtin family itself was related to the Holy Advent Crusade, Helen actually betrayed their relationship.

This was more uncomfortable for Harley than being shot in the back.

It's very possible that Helen has her own reasons.

But Harley knows that they can never go back to the past.

This is what makes her uncomfortable.

"You were able to escape from an ambush?" Selina asked in surprise.

"I'm not stupid. Before I approached the apartment building, I walked around a few times. They saw me first, but I didn't really step into the ambush."

"Now that you know about me, is it time to help me get the bullet?"

"I have never done such a thing..." Selena shook her head and said, "How about I take you to see Kemp?

‘Doctor’ Kemp has an underground medical clinic in Brooklyn, which specializes in helping people who are inconvenient to go to the hospital to solve their problems.”

"He is famous in the underground world?" Harley asked.

"That's why low-class criminals will go to him. Big families like Falcone and Romani will directly send patients with gunshot wounds to the hospital, and there will be no police to interfere with their business," Selina said.

Harley pondered: "What if he discovers my identity...do you think he is completely trustworthy?"

"Well, a new criminal has no deterrent effect. He only needs to pay two hundred dollars for him to betray you, not to mention that you have a high reward of two hundred thousand dollars." Selina said awkwardly.

Under the red light of the fire, Harley stared into her eyes and asked: "With two hundred thousand dollars, you can get rid of your current wandering life, live in a big house, and no longer have to worry about hunger. Are you tempted?"

Selena looked at her with no twinkle in her eyes, "First of all, I never take the initiative to betray anyone, even if he is a bastard.

This is my way of survival and the principle by which I conduct myself in the world.

Who among the people on the street has no criminal record?

If you betray him today, someone else will betray you tomorrow.

In fact, criminals who report criminals do not get any reward at all.

The police will immediately turn their backs on you and put you in jail after you tell them the information they need, and then the bounty will go to them."

Speaking of this, Selina paused and said in a complicated tone: "In addition, I owe you a great favor and will never betray you."

Harley asked strangely: "This is the first time I've met you. Where did the favor come from?"

"No, we have met more than ten times. Every day, you ride a second-hand Giant to school, right?"

"Are you a big fan of mine? Is it because of gymnastics, table tennis, or my other strengths?" Harley asked strangely.

Selena shook her head, "I used to be very jealous of you. They called you smile queen, but I wasn't convinced because my talent was much better than yours."

"Blow hard enough to blow the cowhide to the sky."

"If you don't believe it, let's find a chance to compete."

Harley saw the fighting spirit in Selena's eyes.

This silver basin face is serious, why?

She is very curious.

"Go on."

"You guessed it right, I am a pickpocket. But no one is born to steal. My talent may be good, but I sometimes make mistakes.

Last September, one evening on Thirty-fourth Street in Queens, I was caught red-handed by a man in a cloak while I was stealing from him. He slapped me several times and dragged me into an alley next to me with a vicious look.

As a veteran, I know how to deal with this situation, I shouted "indecent".

It's a pity that this is Gotham, and they all looked at it with cold eyes.

The man in the cloak became even more angry and punched and kicked me.

Just when I thought it was completely over, ‘Let that girl go,’ a girl wearing a little yellow hat stepped on the bicycle pedal and shouted.”

"That's you." Selena said.

Harry looked thoughtful, as if this was the case...

Don't blame her for her poor memory. In order to "get beaten up and level up" and to improve her actual combat ability, she often meddles in small matters - disputes without using firearms.

"The man in the cloak told you to get out, and he kept beating me with his hands. You got angry, like a little lion, and rushed up to fight with him.

You were punched several times, your bicycle helmet was knocked off, and your hair was a mess, but you smiled and comforted me, saying you were fine.

Looking at your smiling face, I was stunned.

No wonder they call you smile queen, you look so pretty when you smile - I thought stupidly at the time.

Of course, you didn't know that I knew you at that time, and you were jealous of you.

But after that day, I no longer envied you, and I even went to Gotham High School to peek at you a few times."

Selena was filled with emotions. There was a time when she really became her fan.
