Gotham City;

Let’s not talk about what kind of research countries around the world are doing on the blood moon scene tonight.

At this time on Gotham’s Fifth Avenue.

In the small shop that appeared out of thin air, there was also a faint red light from the windows and the glass at the door.

And the people passing by turned a blind eye.

Bob is a drug addict;

Like thousands of people living in Gotham, he had a bad childhood and a pair of bad parents.

And he lived a tight life.

Born in a poor family, Bob dropped out of school early and came to society to find ways to make money.

But in the huge Gotham, there are not many jobs prepared for people like him.

So;

Like thousands of people in Gotham, Bob joined a gang and became a gang member.

This year, the gangster is 37 years old, and he has been in the gang for 21 years.

To be honest;

Bob always thinks that he is lucky.

At least he is still alive after being in the gang for 21 years!

Many people who joined the gang at the same time as him have already died in one fight after another in the past few years.

Those who come out to be gangsters have one foot in the coffin.

Bob has also anticipated his own end.

So he has indulged himself to his heart's content over the years, and he has played everything he should and shouldn't play!

After being in the gang for 21 years, Bob is at least a middle-level leader in this gang.

He has his own place and a group of younger brothers who obey his orders.

Originally, Bob should have lived a good life.

But!

Since half of the top leaders of their gang were assassinated by a rival gang half a month ago, the whole gang has been getting worse and worse.

Bob also realized that he might have to find a new employer.

Otherwise;

He will sooner or later make a contribution to the reclamation project of Gotham Harbor!

Even;

He might die in a dirty crime alley.

There won't even be anyone to collect his body!

Tonight;

Bob contacted another gang member.

But he didn't like the price offered by the other party.

He, Bob, has been in the Gotham gang for 21 years.

The other party actually asked him to bring his people and his place over there, and then start from the bottom?

How could Bob be willing to do that?

Good man, so he only contributed to your gang? He didn't get any benefits at all?

How can such a good thing happen!

So, Bob was a little upset tonight.

The gang was already on the decline and was about to fail.

But he hadn't found a new team yet.

If this continues, who knows what will happen next.When will it be his turn to be liquidated by the rival gang?

Driving aimlessly on the road, Bob was also thinking about these annoying things.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his life was really fucked up.

Just then;

Bob suddenly noticed that the moon in the sky turned blood red.

"Unlucky! Even the moon has become like this?"

Bob spit out of the car window without any manners, almost spitting on a passerby, causing the passerby to glare at him.

"What are you looking at?!"

Bob was upset, and he pulled out his gun and pointed it at him.

The passerby, who was a little angry just now, looked at it, and was so scared that his face turned pale and he ran away.

Bob also laughed when he saw it, and the gloomy mood in his heart was slightly relieved.

The car passed another intersection. Bob, who stopped the car and waited for the red light, suddenly saw a two-story shop sandwiched between the high-rise buildings on the roadside.

"Strange! When did such a shop appear here?"

Bob had passed Fifth Avenue countless times. He had lived in Gotham for 37 years, but he never remembered such a shop here.

Moreover;

Looking at the small shop with red light in the glass, Bob suddenly had the urge to go in and take a look.

And this urge became stronger and stronger.

So;

Bob ignored the red light in front of him, turned the steering wheel, turned a corner, ran through the red light, and heard the roadside of the next street.

He didn't care about the curses of the drivers passing by. After getting off the car, he walked towards the small shop with red light like a possessed person.

Dingling~!

The bell at the door of the store made a crisp sound.

Bob pushed the door open and found that this was a store like a grocery store.

The store was not big, with two rows of four shelves on both sides, and a glass cabinet in the middle of the store, which also contained some strange things.

In the depths of the store, there was a counter.

Above the counter was a red light, which was the only light on in the store.

Bob felt his mind cleared up a lot after entering the store. He was very curious about why he came in?

But... since I'm here, let's take a look.

Thinking in his heart, Bob browsed through the goods in the store one by one.

"What are these strange things?"

The more Bob looked, the more he felt that the owner of this store was a little crazy.

What troll brains, vampire teeth, werewolf hearts, are these things sure not to be taken out for fun?

If today was Halloween, Bob would think it would be fine.

But the problem is, today is not Halloween!

So, Bob walked directly to the counter deep in the store.He rang the bell on the cabinet.

Ding! Ding!

A crisp sound came from the bell.

Then, Bob saw a dark shadow in a room with a half-open door in front of him, which seemed to be slowly crawling and gradually growing taller.

Gulp~!

Bob felt an inexplicable fear spreading in his heart.

At this time;

The door creaked open.

A man wearing an exquisite three-piece suit and a pocket watch on his chest walked out from behind the door.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall.

His short silver hair was combed back, and each strand was clearly visible.

He looked to be in his thirties, about the same age as Bob himself.

He always had an uncomfortable smile on his face, and he wore a monocle in front of his left eye.

"Does this customer need anything?"

The shopkeeper asked.

That voice was obviously normal, but when Bob heard it, he always felt a tingling sensation.

Very uncomfortable!

"What are you selling here? Are they toys for pranks?"

Bob asked.

In fact, he wanted to leave now.

But for some reason, he seemed to have roots under his feet and couldn't take a step forward!

This weird feeling made Bob panic.

He couldn't help but think of some urban legends in Gotham.

Suddenly;

He panicked even more!

"No, our shop sells authentic products!"

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Gulp~!

Bob couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He thought he should leave.

But when the words came to his lips, they turned into...

"I want to buy a product in the store."

Wait!

Is this what I am saying?

But this is not what I want to say!

Bob's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He felt sweat on his back.

At this time, even if he was a fool, he should have realized that there was something wrong with this store.

But even so;

Bob could not control his body at all at this moment.

At this moment, only his thoughts still belonged to him!

"Is that so? Then why don't you let me recommend you a few products?"

The owner said.

"Okay."

Bob said.

But this is not what he wanted to say at all.

Okay?

What's good about it!

I don't want to buy anything in this store!

Don't buy it!!!

Bob shouted in his heart.

It's a pity that it's useless.

At this time;

The owner also bent down and took out three boxes from under the counter.

ThreeThe boxes were opened one by one.

The box on the far left contained a tooth.

A very long and sharp tooth!

The box in the middle contained a heart that looked like stone.

Why was Bob sure it was a heart?

Because it looked like a heart, but it looked like it was made of stone. (To read the most exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

And the box on the far right contained a blue crystal pendant.

"Choose one, customer."

The shopkeeper looked at Bob and smiled as he asked him to make a choice.

This time, Bob felt that he could finally speak, but he seemed to be restricted to only speaking about the choice.

If he wanted to say anything else, he would be unable to make any sound.

Bob knew that he could only choose one of the three items in front of him to buy.

So he looked down at them.

Originally, Bob wanted to buy the pendant on the far right.

Because it looks the most normal!

(cafb) But for some reason, Bob always felt that the stone heart in the middle box was particularly attractive to him.

So, somehow, he chose this stone heart!

"I want this."

Bob pointed to the middle box.

"Okay."

The shopkeeper smiled and said. []

Then he put away the other two boxes, leaving only the box with the stone heart on the counter.

"Affordable, $100."

The shopkeeper held out his hand.

Bob just wanted to leave this weird place as soon as possible, so he didn't bargain.

One hundred dollars is one hundred dollars.

He took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a few banknotes to make up a hundred dollars, and put it on the counter.

"Welcome to visit next time!"

The shopkeeper took the money and smiled at Bob.

Bob also found that he could finally move his body at this time.

So he grabbed the box in front of him, turned around and quickly left this weird little shop.

Wait until he opened the door and came out of the shop.

Bob was relieved!

"Huh~! I was scared to death!"

He looked back at the shop behind him and felt an inexplicable horror. He was so scared that he immediately quickened his pace and walked towards the direction where he parked his car.

On the road;

Bob drove the car on the road.

He glanced at the box he had thrown on the passenger seat.

That was what he bought for a hundred dollars.

The more he looked at it, the more unlucky Bob felt.

So when driving through an alley, Bob opened the car window and threw it out.

"Get lost!"

Bob cursed viciously.

The car drove away quickly.

The discarded box, after rolling a few times, also disappeared in the dark alley.

Half an hour later;

Bob drove back home.

He stopped the car on the side of the road, got out of the car, opened the door with the key and returned home.

He has always been single, so he is the only one at home.

The apartment where Bob lives has a total of 11 floors. The apartment building itself is very old, like a building from the last century.

There are 11 rooms on each floor.

Bob lives in room 0707.

He went home and threw the key on the table, then walked to the refrigerator and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator.

He gulped down half a bottle.

Bob felt like he was alive again.

"Shit! I wasted a hundred dollars!"

Bob couldn't help but get angry when he thought about how he was forced to spend a hundred dollars to buy such an unlucky thing, and the key point was that he threw it away.

But;

Even if he was angry, Bob didn't dare to go back to that store again.

Even;

He might not dare to pass by Fifth Avenue for a while in the future.

For fear of seeing that store again.

Walking to the sofa and sitting down, Bob put his feet on the coffee table. Just as he was about to take a few more sips of beer, the pupils in Bob's eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhole.

On the coffee table in front of him, the box that should have been thrown away by him was actually placed on the coffee table intact.

Bob could even hear his heartbeat at this moment.

Thump~! Thump~! Thump~! ......

The violent heartbeat also shows his current mood.

After a while.

Bob finally calmed down a little.

He put down the beer can in his hand, and then tremblingly reached out to open the box on the coffee table.

In the box;

The heart that looked like a stone was clearly visible!

"Fuck~!"

Bob was so angry that he cursed.

Then he grabbed the box and threw it out directly through the window.

"Don't come back again!"

Bob cursed viciously.

But the next second he turned around and saw that the box he had just thrown away appeared on the coffee table again.

Plop~!

Bob staggered and sat down on the ground.

I felt my legs were weak!

It...it...how did it come back again? !

Bob got up from the ground with a horrified look on his face.

He hurriedly tried to run to the door.

And at this moment;

The box on the coffee table suddenly opened automatically, and the heart in the box suddenly seemed to recover.It started beating like it was full of energy.

Plop~!

Bob, who had just crawled out for two steps, fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

He felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

That heartbeat frequency was definitely not a normal frequency.

"Am I... am I... going to die?"

Bob was very scared and even wanted to cry and call for his mother.

But before he could cry, his eyes went black and he lost consciousness in an instant!

At the same time;

The stone heart placed in the box also instantly turned into a beam of nothingness and sank into Bob's back.

Then it merged directly with his own heart!

After more than ten minutes;

Bob woke up faintly.

The first thing he did when he opened his eyes and regained consciousness was to get up from the ground and look at the coffee table behind him.

There;

There are no boxes, stone hearts or anything like that.

On top are a bunch of magazines he has read, beer cans and so on.

There is nothing else at all.

"Is it an illusion?"

Bob rubbed his head.

He thought to himself that he might have drunk too much.

Turning around, Bob looked at the window that was still open, so he walked over to close it.

When closing the window, Bob also subconsciously raised his head and looked at the sky.

"The moon is still like this!"

Bob complained.

But the next second——

Thump, thump...

The heart in his chest suddenly beat violently as if it was stimulated by something.

"No! Don't!"

Bob pressed his chest hard, feeling like he was going to die again.

Huh?

Why should I say again?

This thought suddenly occurred to Bob.

The intense heartbeat in the next second made him unable to think about these questions.

"Ah ...
