The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 2510 The Battle for the Cloak (Forty)

Chapter 2484: The Battle for the Cape (Forty)

When Bruce left that day, he left Jason his phone number, but Jason didn't have time to contact him now, because he needed money to rent a house, and he was busy looking for a job.

This was a familiar job for Jason. After all, he grew up on the streets, and he knew where people like him could go to work. Not long after, he found two jobs for himself.

The first one was a worker in a moving company, but it was not a formal moving company, but a debt collection company. In simple terms, it was a moving company that would empty your house if you didn't pay back the money.

This kind of moving company requires employees to be strong and look scary. Although they can't really hit each other, they want to look like they are going to blow up your whole family just by standing at your door.

Jason is really suitable for this job. He perfectly meets all the requirements of this kind of moving worker. He is strong and looks fierce. Just a glance at that station makes people tremble.

This kind of work is usually done at night, because the police station is closed at night, and it is not easy for the other party to call the police, and it can also avoid being targeted by certain people.

Jason found himself a daytime job as a postman, not because he is really good at this job, but because there is a shortage of people for this job, the work is heavy, the money is low, and it is far from home. People without work cards are not allowed to do it, but local Americans can earn much more than this by delivering food for the same distance.

Jason mainly relies on the night job to make money. This job is purely for familiarizing with the terrain, and there is enough time and reason to wander around various communities. If he does a good job, he can be transferred to the jurisdiction where Bruce is in two days. He wants to see what this Batman is like.

The moving company needs people very urgently, and they have to start work that night, so even if Jason knows that Peter is still a little sad, he really has no time to comfort him. After all, this job makes a lot of money. After finishing this night, he can find a motel to stay in the next morning. His body is really not suitable for squeezing into Spider-Man’s small bedroom.

Jason had done this job before, but he was still very young at that time, and he was mainly used as a hostage.

Yes, this is actually a very mature industry. Those who can use this debt collection method, whether it is the creditor or the debtor, both parties have some status, that is, they still have to take into account the law and face, and they are not the kind of poor people who are barefoot and are not afraid of wearing shoes.

This leads to too many concerns between the two parties in the confrontation, and the other party can use this concern to gain an advantage.

Pregnant women, the elderly and children are very good props. If the other party asks you to move, you don’t want to move, and you get a row of pregnant women to block the door. If the other party dares to touch it, the bail will be so heavy that his heart will bleed.

On the one hand, Western law attaches great importance to the opinions of the jury, and the jury likes to be inclined to the disadvantaged. If the victim is a recognized disadvantaged group at the social level, it is easy to sentence him very heavily.

On the other hand, perhaps due to religious factors, they don't care much about petty thefts. Many thieves are not sentenced after being caught, and they are released after a few words of admonition. However, if you dare to hurt someone, you will be imprisoned for life, and sometimes even bail is not effective.

So Jason occasionally goes to the two parties to play the hostage. If someone doesn't want to move, he will play the role of someone else's son crying and holding someone else's thigh to prevent them from entering the door. If someone wants to collect debts, he will play the role of the creditor's child and cooperate with his "parents" at the door to perform a scene of the landlord's family having no surplus food, which often gets a lot of money.

He also saw clearly how those movers who used violent means did it, so as soon as he started his job, the boss patted him on the shoulder and asked him if he was very experienced and how many years he had been in this business.

Jason was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He leaned against the truck with a cold face and waited for departure, which made the boss more satisfied. He liked this kind of people who talked less but worked hard.

Taking advantage of the night, the convoy set off quickly. This time they went to the villa area on the edge of Queens. Although this place is not as good as Manhattan, it is also an old-fashioned wealthy area.

The car quickly drove to the door of the target villa. The lights in the other party's house were bright, and it was obvious that they had been prepared.

Jason and his companions did not speak. They got out of the car and walked into the yard. Two old men rushed out of the house and tried to stop them. Jason did not even look at them and continued to move forward, but he crossed his arms and did not touch anyone.

Most of the others also had this attitude, just walking in with their heads down, not touching the people who stopped them. The people behind carried the boxes of furniture in, letting those people hug their legs and cry without even looking at them.

The garage door was directly pried open, and the towing team had been waiting outside. Jason and his team were responsible for standing at the door to stop those who wanted to rush out.

After all, the car is a big item and is more valuable than many furniture. If they rush out to stop them, they will lose money, or if they hit someone when towing the car, then there will be a lawsuit.

Everything was peaceful at first. The people in the house did not dare to go out when they saw so many strong men outside. Although the male owner of the house hid behind the sofa with a gun, he had no intention of coming out at all.

This is also the main reason why this job pays so well. People who don't understand the job will shake their heads when they hear about breaking into someone else's house. After all, the homeowner may have a gun, and you'll be dead if you're hit by a bullet.

People who can understand all kinds of things understand that there is actually no need to shoot in this situation. People who can own a villa will not only have one villa. They are guarding here more to express the importance of this villa. It's very important to me. Since you have taken away the house, we have to discuss the amount of the debt.

But at this time, the hostess of the house seemed to feel that their resistance was not strong enough, and suddenly rushed out from behind the sofa and rushed to the door.

Even if she came alone, she was holding a baby in her arms, who was crying loudly.

Jason couldn't help but glance over there, and as soon as he looked at it, he found that the child must have a fever, his face was flushed, and his eyes could not be opened.

Obviously this child is not this woman's child, and this woman may not even be the hostess of this house. They are basically tools called to act.

But there is no way an infant in swaddling clothes would be paid to act in a show. He might just be a prop for this woman, and it seems likely that he won't survive the night.

Jason suddenly felt a surge of anger. What on earth was this woman doing? Didn't the owner of this house tell her that this was just a matter of procedure and no one would be hurt? Why did she have to risk the life of a child? Just to get more money? !

When this idea appeared, Jason was stunned again because he remembered a scene from his childhood.

He was not very lucky that day. When he was running errands on the street, he suddenly encountered a heavy rain. Although he immediately found an eaves to hide in, he was still covered with water. After the rain stopped, he felt that his throat was a little sore. It hurts, my nose is a little blocked, and my body feels a little warm.

But that night he happened to take on such a job, where he had to play the role of a man's son to plead with his creditor. When he appeared in front of the creditor, he was already suffering from a high fever, his face was pale, his legs were weak, and he could no longer stand. .

The creditor was probably afraid that he would die there, so he relented without saying a few words and hurriedly sent the two of them away. After the incident, the boss was very happy and praised Jason for being smart and gave him more on top of the negotiated price. 10 yuan.

In the era when Jason was a child, 10 yuan was a lot of money. For this reason, he was able to relax for several days. Even when he did this job again later, he would also think that it would make himself more embarrassed, and he might not be able to do it. You can get it done faster and make more money.

Compared with a sick half-year-old child, a dying child who is crying all the time can arouse people's sympathy more, and make people dare not to touch it.

After all, half-grown children have their own independent consciousness. If anything happens, they can be said to be their own fault. However, it is impossible for a jury to blame a baby who is still an infant. If something happens, someone must take the blame. Pot.

The boss who led the team today also thought so. He looked at the woman with an unlucky expression, and finally waved to the members of the moving company as if they had eaten flies, telling them not to go through the main door, but to move through the side door. .

After all, the size of the side door was limited, and many large pieces of furniture could not be moved out. In the end, we basically moved only some valuable electrical appliances and small sculptures and then gave up.

Jason stood at the door, and when he saw the triumphant expression on the woman's face, he knew that his guess was right. The woman was also an invited actress, and the baby was just a prop.

The anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable, and his disgust was getting stronger and stronger. He just wanted to rush up and punch this woman.

But his teammates got into the car as quickly as possible, and the car started immediately. Jason was pulled into the car by the people next to him. After he was pulled into the car, he heard his colleagues in the car lamenting that today’s life was really good. easy.

However, no matter how heavy those electrical appliances are, they cannot sink as much as the solid wood furniture made of precious wood, and they cannot be troublesome as those expensive and fragile large-scale sculptures. Just moving the electrical appliances is equivalent to getting money for nothing without doing any work.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, and they even had time to joke with the newcomer Jason, who was getting more and more bored and just kept a straight face and said nothing.

The car took Jason directly to his so-called residence. Jason got out of the car. He originally wanted to find a motel to stay in, but now he was upset. After thinking about it, he walked to the Hudson River to enjoy the breeze.

It was almost Christmas, and it had just snowed in New York. The biting cold wind at night made Jason sober.

He suddenly realized that he had changed too much over the years. If he were a child, he would probably be happy with his colleagues, doing easy work and receiving enough remuneration. What on earth would be worth his mood? What about the bad ones?

Jason lay on the railing by the river bank, sticking his head out to look at the shadows reflected in the river. Under the dim light of the street lights, the face gradually changed in front of his eyes, becoming greener, and then immature.

"Please." Jason heard little Jason say on the lake: "Do you sympathize with that baby? Why don't you sympathize with yourself? So what if his mother is not good to him? Do you have a mother?"

"What? You said his mother almost killed him? But what's the difference between your mother throwing you in an alley in Gotham and killing you? I think it's a little more dangerous!"

"Jason Todd, isn't our goal from the beginning just to survive? As long as we can stay alive, we will do anything. It's already very hard for us to survive. When did you have the free time to sympathize with others?"

Yes, Jason thought, since when did he have the spare time to sympathize with others?
