The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

During the conversation along the way, Penguin and Peter learned that this boy named Gonzalez often graffitied on the street where the Anderkin case occurred. Their group was a typical street boy.

Gonzalez drove the Penguins to their stronghold, Hell's Kitchen in Brooklyn.

Looking at this familiar architectural style, Penguin felt a little at ease. This was a very typical chaotic neighborhood where various gangs were entrenched.

This place is not considered a slum, because the vast majority of the black products of the intricate gangs make it not poor, but rather a prosperous scene, somewhat similar to the community where Penguin came from.

Aren't you going to do something? Peter asked. Just let them chase you like this. You know they won't stop.

Penguin's face darkened. He thought a lot during the bumps of the car, and in the end he only came up with one sentence, I will make them pay the price.

It doesn't sound easy. Peter turned his head and said, If you want to do something, do it as soon as possible. I can stay here for a while to protect your safety. As you serve the two cities of New York and Gotham, It saves me a lot of trouble and remuneration, but my time is limited and I still have to go back to work.”

Now it was Penguin's turn to turn to look at him. He kept looking at Peter's expression, as if he was weighing the value of the promise.

Even if Penguin thinks Spider-Man is a naive and reckless boy, he has to admit that Spider-Man is indeed very powerful, and according to his previous investigation, the spider mutation has given him a very keen sense of danger, which is innate Bodyguard skills.

In fact, what Penguin values ​​more than Spider-Man's strength is that this kid is a local gangster in New York. From the fact that he was able to find Penguin's location and walk all the way through the slums to get to him, it can be seen that he is in such an environment. Those who have grown up, even if they cannot be said to be at home like a fish in water, certainly understand this place better than he, an outsider.

Now that he wants to turn over, he can only take the gangster route again and start over. The local person who leads the way is very important. I have to admit that Spider-Man's character is very reassuring. As long as he promises, he will definitely do it. .

Penguin found that when he thought about this, he would have a subtle emotion. His heart no longer fell heavily, but as if he was sinking into some kind of liquid, being wrapped and soaked, then floating, and finally feeling Open the entire chest outward.

This emotion is very strange, because Penguin has never felt it before, so he can't tell what it feels like. If he had to analyze where it comes from, it is probably because Penguin has never encountered anything that reassures him before. teammate.

Especially when Penguin is climbing up the gangster step by step, even if he has a short-term interest partner, he will eventually turn against him, so he will never place his hope on anyone else.

Because I have never experienced the benefits of having someone to help me, I will not feel helpless. Over time, it has become normal to complete all the work deliberately.

But now whenever he thinks of Spider-Man by his side, Penguin has a very bad premonition in his mind, and his next thought is that at least he won't die.

What follows is a kind of excitement. The Penguin's style of doing things in his life is to be cautious and cautious. He never understands what it means to let go and act, because he is more afraid of death than failure. If someone can protect his life, He could finally experience the pleasure of giving it a try.

Penguin can't wait.

While following Gonzalez and the Penguin into the depths of Hell's Kitchen, Peter fell behind the team and asked Bruce in the headset: I still don't understand, why should we help the Penguin?

Peter has a balance in his heart. He knows that Penguin is not a good person. No matter how much childhood trauma he has, he should be judged for the evil deeds he committed.

Batman's trust made him accept this plan, but he still didn't know Bruce's purpose, but Bruce on the other end of the earphone just smiled and said in a low voice: I just want you to see how he is so unlucky. of.

Peter didn't know why, and Bruce stopped talking, and Peter kept following the Penguin.

On the first day he arrived here, he encountered a wave of attacks. Peter did not have a spider sense now, but Bruce inexplicably got the attacker's information. Peter pretended that the spider sense was going off, and notified the Penguin to avoid it and help him avoid it. Danger.

Discovering that with the help of Spider-Man, Penguin knew that his life would not be in danger. The Penguin knew that his chance to let go was here.

The Penguin who just arrived in Hell's Kitchen discovered that this is indeed a good place. No wonder Kingpin can make a fortune from here.

The most special thing is that this place is not entirely the territory of gangs. It can be said that there are three religions and nine streams, a mixture of good and bad, including gangs, civilians, police, traders, rich and poor, and people who live life and have fun.

Looking at the high-rise buildings in Manhattan, there are more opportunities for people at the bottom to get up. When life safety is not threatened, it is simply a paradise for speculators.

The Penguin was gearing up and planning to show off his talents here, but he didn't expect that a group of people would soon come to him.

Penguin saw several familiar faces among this group of people, the same people who welcomed him at the entrance of the hospital that day, and even a security guard escorting the car.

Penguin soon learned that these were mostly nearby residents. The street where Anderkin's accident occurred was not far from here, and many of them had witnessed the tragedy.

Penguin welcomed their arrival because he understood what the biggest dilemma he faced now was that he had no team.

The Penguin on Earth 1 no longer has gangs on his hands, otherwise he would not have only raised a killer named Birthday Boy to assassinate political opponents. Although the safe house left in the early years has not changed, the surrounding residents have changed. He was so different that no one recognized him at all.

The Penguins of the main universe replaced the Penguins of Earth 1, but he could not move his team from the empty island in the sky. Not to mention how troublesome it would be to move so many people, his gang of men reached this terrain completely. Different new fusion cities have the same dark eyes, so it is better to use these local snakes.

It is not easy to climb from the bottom of the gang, and Penguin's current situation does not allow him to do that. It is better to directly recruit these people to form a team. After establishing a solid base, he will continue to expand his momentum and influence. Months are enough time for him to return to politics and participate in the general election.

Penguin thinks there is nothing wrong with his plan, and Peter thinks so too. He really doesn't see where Penguin looks like he is going to be in serious trouble.

It went really well in the beginning. Everyone kept praising Penguin and saying that they were willing to provide him with the help they could. Many people stayed to help Penguin and Gonzalez transform their strongholds, and some used their positions to help him. He then patrolled the surrounding area to keep dangerous elements away.

There were about six or seven people staying in Gonzalez's cabin. Peter knew it was rude to give people nicknames, but before he knew their names, he could only call them the short-haired girl, the tattooed guy, and the big guy. Waves, black ladies, caps and game boys.

These people are all very unique. The short-haired girl is a vegetarian who advocates environmental protection and animal protection. The tattooed guy loves goth culture and has gothic tattoos all over his body. The big wave is a transgender. The black eldest sister weighs about 250 pounds. Cap does community service in a nearby neighborhood, and Gamer Boy is a big fan of gun-fighting games.

Peter always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After all, what kind of doctrine someone had or what hobbies they had had nothing to do with him.

He also knew similar people in school, whether they were animal conservationists who used Saturdays and Sundays to catch stray animals for sterilization or went with expedition groups into the mountains to protect wild animals, or people who didn't eat meat because of religion or other reasons. The vegetarians, Peter got along well with them all.

It’s okay to have tattoos or be transgender. After all, New Jersey is a blue state and relatively open. Peter has seen a lot of these people. It’s even worse to find fault with other people’s appearance and hobbies. He will not treat other people because of these attributes. What's the bias?

Penguin was eager to go out and start a big fight, and without saying anything, he immediately started arranging tasks. He said: This cabin is in a good location in Hell's Kitchen. It is close to the center and has convenient transportation, and it is far away from the big gangs. Territory.”

But considering my current situation, we still have to take some defensive measures. Gonzalez got us two scrapped cars. We can use the cars to block the back doors, and then get some simple ones made of cans The alarm is on the door.”

I hope that some people will come to work with me and the other will contact my supporters. We need more people to complete these things.

Wait a minute, I have a question. Big Wave stretched out his index finger and thumb, scratched in front of him and said, Mr. Mayor, are you planning to participate in your next election here?

Just as Penguin was about to speak, Peter heard Bruce's instructions in the earphones, so he stepped forward and said: Yes, our mayor has decided to stand with us, and he will not go to those hypocritical politicians. They are playing tricks and trying to show off their smiles, but they should come to us.

Wow! That's so cool!

That's what you should do! I just said I saw the right person!

Awesome, mayor! Oh hoo!

Several people cheered immediately. The short-haired girl shook her fist vigorously and said, Yes, that's how it should be. They should come and listen to us. We are the masters of this country, aren't we?

The tattooed man clasped his hands inward, kept pointing at his feet and rocking back and forth, making rap gestures, snapping his fingers at the short-haired girl, and then pointing at her, which meant you were right.

Well, I mean...

Penguin wanted to speak, but the other people ignored him at all. He thought, how could this be possible? The city government is not run by his family. All candidates must go to designated locations to wait for the voting results to be announced. How could he participate in the general election here?

We should shoot all those broken rules and blow up those people's skulls to show them how powerful we are. I've had enough. They stand on the stage like clowns, oh, oh...

The game boy pressed his earphones and rapped with unknown meaning in his mouth. He lowered the brim of his cap and folded his arms in front of his chest without saying a word.

Hey, that guy, why don't you say anything? Big Wave turned to look at the cap and said, I think you should agree with our mayor's great idea, don't you? I think what we said is very reasonable, why can't it be them? Listen to us?

The peaked hat raised his eyes and glanced at Da Lang sullenly. Da Lang was startled by his eyes, and then he seemed to be angry and his voice was so high that it even had a masculine accent.

I will sue you for sexual harassment! You damn bastard! Why do you look at me like that?! Are you looking at my breasts or my ass? You can't have that! You idiot!

Okay! Okay! Stop arguing!!

Penguin sighed and said: Stay on the left if you stay here to work, and stand on the right if you go out to contact others. You make your own choice.

A group of people were walking around scatteredly, almost half on each side. As soon as Penguin felt a little relieved, the leading short-haired girl standing on the left raised a finger and said.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not standing here to say that I want to stay and work. I just prefer the left side. I think people with stronger communication skills should go out to inform other partners of the good news, don't you?

After saying that, she kept glancing at the peaked cap with her eyes, and the big wave next to her nodded vigorously, took a step to the left and said: Yes, our team will go out, and the others will stay. That's the decision. ”
