What preparations do I need to make to sleep on the street?

First of all, you must have thick clothes or a thick quilt. No matter how hot the weather is, once it rains, it will be so cold that people can't sleep at night. There is a limit to the number of medicines in the relief supplies, and experienced people will be careful to keep themselves away from the risk of getting sick. Secondly, you have to find the right location, especially in a place like Gotham, where there are street gangs, big and small, and it's important to know if someone is going to shoot you right next to your ear at night.

And in front of people who are familiar with the routine, all problems are as simple as eating and drinking.

Hercule could recognize the signs that tramps had painted on various corners. 'Hands and triangles' represent that nearby residents have guns; fishnet-shaped signs mean that you are approaching danger; boards with crosses on them mean that you may encounter a believer; and circles that represent money to be taken represent nasty people Human arrow…

There are many unpopular marginalized people in this city, so they gradually formed their own special culture amidst the indifference of the upper class.

But today, things were a little strange. Hercule looked for several places where people should theoretically be, including parks, near trash cans, and subway stations, only to find them empty.

He found an open space next to the iron gate in the back alley of a certain shop. There were rectangular light patterns on it. That was because someone had piled quilts here for many years, so that the ground and other places under the quilts were stained. There is color difference. But now there is nothing even here, where have all the people gone?

"Don't look for spare biscuits there!" When Hercule tentatively stretched his head to look into the trash can, a young man wearing a dirty sweatshirt and jeans shouted to him not far away, "There's something wrong today. 'Soup bowl'!"

‘Spare biscuits’ means finding food in the trash can, and ‘soup bowl’ means having a free place to eat. Hercule's heart moved and he asked: "Where is it?"

"You are too ill-informed." The young man replied from a long distance, probably because he felt that Hercule was difficult to get along with. People like them are more sensitive to certain intuitive feelings, "Bruce Wayne established a A charity meeting that gives out free food every Thursday and occasionally provides job opportunities.”

He shrugged: "But the above is what I heard from others. Who can work for a serious homeless person?"

What kind of Gotham version of Thursday Madness is this?

Hercule, a part-time wanderer, took off his hat to the young man and said happily: "Thank you, I'll take a look right now."

There was no hint that this person had just left a high-end restaurant.

Even more excited than him was Hibida, who didn't have dinner and kept sniffing to show Hercule the way.

Ten minutes later, Hercule pushed open the glass door of a building in the old city. The aroma of food mixed with the heat in the room hit his face. Many homeless people who were wrapped in cotton-padded clothes and hats in early autumn stood in front of the counter of the cafeteria and queued up for meals. At first glance, it seemed that Hercule was wearing very little. .

Before officially entering the door, he had to go to the front desk to register. The name badge of the person in charge reads ‘Volunteer’ and has the Wayne Group’s ‘W’ logo on it.

"name?"

"Hugo."

"Where are you from?"

"Um... Gotham." Sorry, Novice Village.

The staff member looked up at Hercule and handed over a piece of paper: "These are dangerous goods that are not allowed to be brought into the charity association, as well as a guarantee letter. You need to

Hercule finished reading quickly. The dangerous goods were all in Xibida's belly, and he would not conflict with the homeless people who lived in the charity club, so he just signed his name in a flash.

The staff said: "Thursday is a special day every week. We allow any homeless person to enter the charity hall to rest. You can also receive a breakfast tomorrow morning, but if you want to live here for a short or long time, you need to go through more strict procedures. review.”

The various requirements and restrictions were almost explained, and Hercule was able to enter the hall. There are actually not too many people inside. After all, there are two types of homeless people: those who are forced and those who are active. The former are usually homeless due to sudden changes and need a place like the Charity Association to make the transition. The latter generally do not like restraint, and Mr. Wayne has too many rules.

Hercule noticed that some homeless people opened the door and left immediately after receiving their food, completely ignoring the many empty benches in the hall.

This is convenient for those who are not used to sleeping on the open air. They gathered together in twos and threes, huddled on chairs or squatting against the wall. Some looked numb, while others anxiously held cell phones and a stack of small notes, calling one by one to look for jobs.

Hercule liked this place where he could see all kinds of things in the world.

He didn't let Hibida compete for food with those who really needed help, so he just found an empty chair and sat down, seeming to be distracted, but in fact he was observing to see if he could meet any interesting people. A few minutes later, a man with reddish-brown hair and brown eyes stood next to him, pointed to the empty seat on the right and asked, "Is there anyone here?"

"No one," Hercule replied quickly, "Please have a seat."

"Thanks... I'm Charlie Brown." The man said, "What about you? What do you call me?"

"Hugo."

"Ah, Hugo, nice to meet you." Charlie Brown said a little perfunctorily, "The weather looks pretty good now, but I heard it's going to rain in the middle of the night, otherwise I'll go to the dock to see if I can Can't find work."

Hercule looked at this familiar man and asked, "What did you do before?"

"You may not believe it, but I studied mechanics in college and am an engineer. But it's hard to find any job these days. Now I'm unemployed and living on the street. I've done everything to make a living for my family." The man smiled mockingly, Then he asked, "I said it in vain. No one in this hall can find a job. Everyone's experience is similar, but I think you seem to be a rich man."

This was the first time in his life that someone said such a thing to Hercule. The remaining money in the two pockets together was not enough to buy a bag of cat food for Hibida. The detective was quite surprised: "You think so?"

"A poor family can't raise you with the temperament you have." Charlie Brown looked at him critically, "Has no one ever said that you look like a young man from a rich family?"

Hercule couldn't help but feel slightly moved. The players before the time travel were from ordinary families. They could be considered well-off at best, but they definitely did not meet the standards of being wealthy. As for the character Hercule Hugo in the game - although there is no side mission that explicitly mentions his background, players do think that he can be well received in a society with serious class contradictions and clear hierarchies. Education should have a not simple past.

Charlie Brown, on the other hand, doesn't look like a smart guy. He has thick forehead hair, obvious forehead wrinkles, an ordinary appearance, and a tired expression. He is not dressed neatly, and he accidentally makes one or two grammatical errors when he speaks. He has a nonchalant attitude and is not a meticulous person.

——The conversation just now was not his own idea. Someone must have asked him to say so.

Instead of debunking this, Hercule said, "Never. Interesting insight, Mr. Brown. How could you lose your job if you have such a brilliant mind?"

The man choked: "...I'm kidding, haha, actually I didn't see anything. It's just that I'm not the only unlucky guy in this world who originally had a good job but ended up living on the street. I tell everyone I see Everyone has asked similar questions, 'Didn't anyone say that you look like a rich man? 'Didn't anyone say that you were particularly smart and humorous? '... This way I won't feel like life is a joke. , shooting at everyone caught off guard."

"You must have been a capable man in the past."

"I don't know." Charlie Brown said, "I didn't think about this problem originally. At that time, I was very proud and thought that people have to accept the uncertainty of fate. Although the homeless people on the street are sad, they are better than living in a cemetery. But. One day, a man said to me, I can be a show-off. Ha! A show-off!"

"He suggested that I put on a straitjacket and build a silly kite to hang behind my back. I said no."

"He asked me to help him build a car again, and I refused."

"That day he yelled at me that I was hopeless, but I didn't understand it at all. I have a good job and a good family. Why should I become a lunatic and become a laughing matter in the eyes of others?"

"The next day, I lost my job."

"A week later, here I am. I'm afraid to go home and look into my family's disappointed eyes."

He buried his face in his hands and said painfully: "I am indeed a fool and a joke, right?"

Hercule listened quietly to the whole story.

He had a premonition that he had drawn the second clue card, and the man in front of him, who claimed to be Charlie Brown and had a wife and son, was already in the game.

Does ‘wearing tights’ represent a superhero or a villain? Who commissioned Charlie Brown to build the car, ‘The Joker’? Why did Charlie lose his job? Where has he been and what has he done this week?

The number of people in the charity meeting gradually increased. Volunteers worked hard and set up several hard single beds in the living room for the elderly and seriously ill people to lie on them and rest.

In order to make way for others, Hercule and Charlie Brown dragged their stools to the edge of the room. Hibida took the opportunity to jump out of his coat pocket and wander around eating and drinking. There were indeed a few homeless people who couldn't feed themselves and shared the only dried fruits they had after getting its legs rubbed.

Hercule believed that this was also relying on strength to solve the problem of food and clothing, so he did not intervene to stop it.

There were more people in the corner. A group of minors who either had no guardians or had run away from home were sitting on the ground playing cards around a bench - different from 'Crime Master VS Top Detective', they were playing a pirated version of the super human theme. The battle card game is similar to Legend of Furnace, except that the card has a superhuman shell on it.

It is said that because the new cards fabricated by the people do not pay attention to balance, pirated games can produce new characters faster than officially authorized ones.

One of them said: "I play the 'Hercule Hugo' card! Predict the buff changes on the field in the next round. Okay, it's your turn."

Hercule glanced at the small card with his name on it, and turned back to ask Charlie: "It's still early, why don't you introduce me."

Charlie Brown: "Huh?"

How could anyone talk like that?

Isn’t it always either me who introduces me, or you who introduce you?

Hercule cleared his throat innocently and said, "I told you that you have unique insights. In my eyes, I am really lackluster. What kind of person am I in your eyes?"

Charlie Brown looked hesitant.

But after hesitating for a moment, he really spoke: "You were born into a wealthy family of the upper class, your parents loved you, and your childhood was happy. When you were a teenager, you left your family and went out to study alone. You had a teacher who helped you a lot. You also adopted a pair of children, and you spent a relatively peaceful time together. You have many friends, you share the same ideals, and you are willing to fight for your goals all your life. Your life is full of light and hope.

... This is my opinion."

Very good. Hercule thought. Except that he himself had never heard of this, had living parents, which was very rare for a superhero, and became the father of two children at a young age, everything was normal.

If the person who wanted to pass on the message to him was the "clown" mentioned by the riddle, what was the point of making up these stories?
