Win Wayne

Chapter 63 - Captain Gentle

Wen started to pack things into the bag again. He must bring close-fitting clothes and special supplies in case of emergencies. He also has weapons, and there seems to be nothing else that is needed.

After she packed it up, she realized that Wendy had been silent all this time, and gave her a strange look: "What's wrong with you?"

"Why do you suddenly want to see the aurora?"

"I haven't seen it." Wen was even more surprised, "Don't you want to see something you haven't seen?"

"There are so many things you haven't seen, but you say you want to see the aurora."

"Dreams also have certain factors." Wen said honestly, "But it's not a decisive factor. If I don't want to watch it, I still won't watch it."

Wendy didn't go any further, probably because she didn't want to know what Wendy saw in the dream.

She said, "Where do you want to go to see the aurora?"

"I didn't think too much about it." Wen said, she reached for her phone, "I'll check the information..."

"...You really left me speechless." Wendy said unbearably, "This is no longer ignorance, it's a lack of common sense. You don't know where to go to see the aurora?"

"Why are you talking like that! My world doesn't have super-premium anti-reverse, and there are no messy mutants and aliens. I didn't pay attention to the difference between this world and my world before. How could I know Aurora? Is the place where it appears the same?"

"..."

"The aurora is a flow of high-energy charged particles from the earth's magnetosphere or the sun, that is, the solar wind, which excites molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere." Wen said, "or it is not excited, but ionized. I also know this kind of scientific and technological knowledge. The best place to observe the aurora on the ground is Iceland, and I know it too. I have to check the information to see if what I know is the same as the reality.”

"...You're not quite right." Wendy turned her head away, "There's no need to look it up, this world just doesn't have the surreal part compared to your world. Everything else is exactly the same."

Wen held the phone and was shocked: "This is unscientific! You are lying to me! The surreal part of this world is completely challenging the basic laws of physics! How can it be exactly the same!"

"It's exactly the same." Wendy said, she seemed to dislike this topic very much, "Existence is the most reasonable science, you—don't worry about it, do you want to be a scientist to study this unreasonable reason?"

Wen looked at Wendy suspiciously: "I feel like you are hiding something from me."

"I hate being told about my past—you just found out today?"

Wendy pinched her fingers nervously, trying her best not to tense her facial expression.

She didn't know if these words could fool Wen. According to experience, it was possible. Wen always hated troublesome things, but this time... this time, after all, it involved the perfect "My World" in Wen's heart. She didn't know that Wen Will it get to the bottom of it?

probably not.

Certainly not.

Wen has a very strong sense of self-consciousness and security.She will not easily doubt whether "My World" really exists, nor will she easily doubt her surroundings and herself.

While she waited with bated breath, Wen thought for a moment, then shrugged:

"Forget it, I don't bother to worry about it. You're right. It doesn't matter whether it conforms to the laws of science. Existence is the most scientific law. If the laws of physics can't explain reality, then there must be something wrong with the laws of physics."

But your "reality" doesn't exist, Wendy thought.

She let go of her hand slowly, not knowing whether she should breathe a sigh of relief or regret—why didn't she refute Wen's self-knowledge?She couldn't tell herself.

That shouldn't be a big deal for Wen.

She should be the kind of person who can enjoy herself knowing that her past is completely false. Her happiness is based entirely on a false personality, and her personality is indestructible.

Wendy thought it was a bad thing in the past, but now, she began to think it was a good thing.

Just as she was thinking, she heard Wen announce, "Then let's go to Iceland."

"Fairbanks, Alaska has more than 200 days of aurora phenomena in a year, and is called the 'Northern Lights Capital'." Wendy said, "Fairbanks is the best place to observe the aurora. "

Wen said: "But I would rather go to Iceland. If you go to Iceland, you can also see the polar snow-capped mountains by the way, and there are very few people."

"...This is your trip, you can go wherever you like." Wendy replied, "And Iceland is a snowy field, not a snowy mountain—you should supplement your common sense."

"No, what's so good about reading cold materials? Even if you want to know the world, it's fun to slowly piece together the whole puzzle from many details." Wen said, "I don't take exams, so there's no need to be so urgent."

She picked up her backpack and said excitedly, "Let's go—go to Iceland!"

"Second brother will be scared to death when he comes back and sees that you are not here."

"Yeah, then I'll leave a note for him." Wen rummaged through the boxes and chests to find a pen and note, "What should I say, just say 'I'm going to Iceland to see the aurora, don't worry about me'? It sounds a bit like What code, I was kidnapped and left him a code to ask for help during the crisis..."

"You're in the state of Gotham." Wendy said coolly, "Leave a number, he can call and scold you."

Wen ignored Wendy's cynicism towards her in a good mood, left a string of numbers at the end of the note, and added a smiley face in a good mood.

She still took the matter of hiding her whereabouts to heart, and carefully put on the mask and windbreaker before going out. In fact, she thought that wearing such strange clothes would have a higher rate of turning heads, but people in this world seem to accept it very well. She Walking on the road did not receive attention ceremony.

And she also saw people who were dressed more weirdly and exaggeratedly than her.

Under Wendy's guidance, she avoided most of the cameras, and a few cameras didn't have to dodge. Wendy said that Tony would handle it well--in this way, Tony is also a control freak, and Wen found that she was not surprised at all.

Chaoying's temperament is really full of details that make ordinary people feel uncomfortable and disgusted.

Wendy seems to understand why these heroes have countless voices of disgust and rejection in addition to the mainstream praise from the outside world.

The reason is easy to explain. If you are monitored by the state, many people can accept it psychologically. If you don’t accept it, you just think it’s unreasonable. After all, the state also needs to ensure national security.

However, the feeling of being under private surveillance is... very bad, and I wish those people would die.

She soon arrived at Gotham Airport and began to struggle with the flight schedule.

There is only one direct flight from Gotham to Iceland in half a month, and the last one was last week.

Do you want to go by sea?Cruise travel is also very interesting, and it is also a way of travel that Wen did not have the opportunity to try in the past. Gotham is a typical port city, and there are so many cruise ships.

Wen searched around and found that there are a lot of options, from expensive luxury cruises to cheap and simple cruises, everything that one expects to find can be enjoyed by any family.

"How about a luxury cruise ship?" she asked Gotham locals for advice. "Will there be some 'villains come in and kill'?"

"Look at the odds," Wendy said faintly, "The cruise ship is halfway through, surrounded by the sea, and it's called an isolated island predicament that's not functioning every day, and the earth is not responding. It's very suitable for some inhumane villains to joke about."

"Are you talking about clowns?" Of course Wen could not know about clowns, don't be funny, clowns are the most famous criminal geniuses in Gotham city, how could she not know him, "Do you think we will meet clowns? ?”

"It depends on luck." Wendy said coldly.

"Have you ever met a clown before?"

"..."

"That's why we met." Wen shook his head, without asking what happened specifically, "It's not easy for you to live in Gotham so big."

If she remembered correctly, Bruce Wayne, the richest man in the city, had been kidnapped by villains like the Joker more than a dozen times, and this was the number of kidnappings that had been clearly recorded.

The villains in Gotham all have a personality that fears the world will not be chaotic. They stare at anyone who is famous and rich. The TV tower in Gotham is even worse. It has become a special broadcast tool for villains. Wen suspects that these people don’t feel that in their concept. How serious it is to be threatened by villains, they are very happy to be such tool people.

Every time he is threatened, it means a sharp increase in the ratings, and the villains are basically killed because the villain is unhappy. No matter what tragedy happens to the people under him, the big boss will never lose money.

Wendy's life was too difficult, and it couldn't be said that her family didn't protect her properly.

There are only those who are thieves for a thousand days, and there are no ones who can guard against thieves for a thousand days... It was the right choice to send her out of Gotham. Although it was too cruel for a little girl, it was better than death.

The problem is that Wendy really can't figure it out.

I don't know who to blame, so I have to blame the city.

"Then let's not take a luxury cruise, let's charter a cruise." Wen said, "I think the money should be enough, but I'm not very good at negotiating, please ask someone to help me negotiate."

Now it's time for Wendy to show her talents. She really knows who Wen should find. Everything is well arranged.

It even seemed a bit boring because it was too smooth.

But Wen thinks about what happens in Gotham when it's not boring, and honestly thinks it's okay to be that boring.

"This is the cruise ship I chartered?" She walked up and down the deck curiously, "It's a beautiful big ship, is the price so low?"

"The reward you gave is enough to buy it." Wendy held her head helplessly, "Why don't you understand the purchasing power of money better than me?"

"I don't care," Wen said. "How long before we get to Iceland?"

"A few days, it depends on the weather." Wendy said, "You'd better get used to the life on the boat, it's not easy to get used to... Be careful not to vomit casually, you can rush when you feel like vomiting to the sea."

Wen quickly realized Wendy's foresight, the ship was already stable, but the feeling of the slow rocking soon made her uncomfortable - not to the point where she had to vomit, but so dizzy, Might as well vomit with pleasure.

After arriving in Iceland, Wen couldn't stand up straight, and her face was as pale as a white paper because of the long-term unsuitable environment.

The Icelandic sun was dazzlingly bright, and she didn't find it comforting.

"My head hurts, and my stomach is acid reflux." She complained weakly, "Your physical fitness has always been good, why do you have such a big reaction after sitting on a boat for a few days?"

Wendy looked out of the way: "This is normal."

"Where can I observe the aurora completely?" Wen turned his head and asked the crew, "I really hope to find a place to have a good rest now... God, why is the ground shaking after getting off the boat!"

The crew had already become familiar with Wen's character in the short few days of contact, and he broke out into a burst of hearty laughter: "Hahaha, little girl, your performance is already very good! God knows how uncomfortable it was when I first got on the ship, They were almost driven insane!"

This is true.

The sea is very beautiful. The sun rises, sets, and the moon rises and sets. It looks completely different from watching these scenery on land, not to mention meeting dolphins and giant whales on the road. Watching these flexible creatures pass by slowly, It is also very romantic.

... If she hadn't been suppressing the desire to vomit all the way, the degree of romance would have been stronger.

"Don't make fun of me." Wen waved his hand weakly, "The feeling of wanting to vomit and not being able to vomit is the worst."

The crew smiled and said: "If you are really uncomfortable now, you can go to the place where you live to rest first. Don't worry about the aurora. This is Iceland. You didn't say how long you will go back. You can always meet if you stay a few more days." of."

This small cruise ship was booked by her for two months at a stretch, during these two months, she could do whatever she wanted.

Even if he wanted to travel around the world by boat, the captain could at most tell her that because of the weather and terrain, he could not guarantee a complete circumnavigation, and then nodded in agreement with her idea.

"We'll be waiting for you at the port, Wen." The captain came over. He was a sturdy middle-aged man, whose bronzed skin was tanned by the ultraviolet rays on the sea and would drive countless women crazy. The itinerary is entirely up to you, so if you want to see the aurora, you can definitely see it in two months."

"It's not easy to find the next person who is as stupid and rich as me, isn't it?" Wen said weakly.

The captain took a sip of his cigar leisurely: "Well—you look like the kind of rich girl who is prone to whimsy, so I won't tell you what tasks we usually receive."

"...As expected of Gotham." Wen said speechlessly.

The captain laughed too. These people seemed to have a bad sense of humor, and they laughed no matter what she said.

There aren't many places to stay in Iceland, but the contact Wendy helped her find gave her an address and said she could stay in the family's room for as long as she wanted.

"Icelanders seldom leave their city, but this family is more independent. They immigrated to other countries." The other party said, "I will have someone clean the room before you arrive, and then you can do whatever you want Do whatever you want, as long as you don’t damage their furniture—in fact, it’s okay if it’s damaged, you can afford it, just buy one as it is, this family is not picky.”

"Can I take a sled?" Wen felt himself recovering a lot after he slowed down on the side of the road.

"Of course." The captain gestured, "The voyage is effortless at all, and the sled is an additional service for us to thank you."

Wen smiled politely: "Thank you very much."

She ate some hot curry rice at the port - let's talk about diarrhea or something, she brought enough medicine, now Wen just wants to eat something exciting, although the food on board is plentiful, but the chef's methods are very rubbish.

Sorry for using the word rubbish, but she really regrets not taking the luxury cruise.

Unexpectedly, the captain could see Wen's mood completely. He smiled and said, "Don't let Dave know that you don't like his food. He likes you very much."

"Ok?"

"He has a daughter who is about your age, but she is much more difficult than you." The captain breathed out a smoke ring comfortably, and pointed to Wen's backpack with his chin, "You only brought a pistol, right? I don't know what it is but it's definitely not Poison P's medicine - you don't look well, and it's a hassle to see a doctor in Iceland, it's normal to bring extra medicine - Dave's daughter, ha, she But it's a big problem."

Wen thought with a dry smile, isn't it difficult enough to carry a pistol when going out?

This group of people's definition of difficult is also too extreme.

"Speaking of which, we still don't know why you appear in this kind of place alone." The captain said again, "Miss Rich ran away from home for a trip?"

"...Is it so obvious that I look?" Wen said a little uneasy.

"It's too obvious, like a storm on the sea." The captain said, "My boys are so restrained when you are on board, they only dare to masturbate in the room, and I am embarrassed to make a little dirty joke Tell me, I'm afraid it will make you feel uncomfortable."

"Actually, I can accept nasty jokes... as long as they are not anti-human."

"You don't look like that," said the captain. "My lad was quite frightened when you said 'thank you' to a crewman who handed you a hash brown."

"..." What the hell have I spent so many days with a group of people?

Wen was speechless and could only laugh awkwardly.

"Speaking of which," the captain coughed, "may I ask how you got in touch with us?"

Wen finally knew how to answer, she smiled and said: "This is Gotham, right? Money is enough."

Unexpectedly, the captain bit his cigar and laughed even louder: "No! My dear Wen, this is Gotham - money is not enough! You don't know how nervous that old dog was when he told us about this mission Is it? He simply threatened and said that you must not be hurt in the slightest, and if something happens, he can only use our wife and children to explain to your father!"

...Damn it, I don't even know who my father is!

But Wen finally understood why the middleman was so cautious and respectful when he saw her. She thought it was professionalism, but it was not at all.

It's a stone hammer, Wendy's father must be a ruthless character who eats both black and white.

In other cities, relying on the amount of information, Wen can roughly guess who Wendy's father is, but at this time, I have to say that sentence again, this is Gotham—there are no rich people in Gotham, right? Black and white take all.

Wendy, come out!You tell me how to answer now, what kind of ruthless role is your father in Gotham?

"My father is not cruel or vicious. He has always been a gentle and considerate sweetheart in front of me. I completely understand why he is so popular." Wendy said quietly, "But when you see him, you know that you must not offend him easily — that's how many Gotham people say about him."

Wen had no choice but to give the captain a social smile.

"But it's true." Unexpectedly, the captain didn't mean to ask anything from Wen's mouth. He smoked his cigar, "I understood why that old dog was so scared when I saw you. I'm also afraid of the messy things in the rich family—Wen, I just want to say, if you encounter any difficulties, don't avoid us."

"Of course, I won't." Wen said immediately, "I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth. But this is Iceland. There are no villains or superheroes. It's so cold that even bad guys don't want to go out to commit crimes. Iceland is safe, isn't it?" ?”

The captain said: "If you didn't just want to come to Iceland to see the aurora, I wouldn't dare to let you on board. I'm serious, Wen. You can see that it's a honey pot. If something happens, we will take care of it." Sorry."

Wen was nervous and tentatively said, "So my identity..."

do you know who my father isSay more dammit, don't stir up my fears and then just babble!I'm panicking now!

"Your identity is very safe." The captain made a movement of pulling the zipper around his mouth, "None of my crew members will disembark to have fun, they will not drink, they will not find women, and they will not go around bragging. Two months It's just the time, no one will know what happened."

temperature:"……"

OK, that's acceptable too.

"As for what's going to happen after two months—you've paid enough, they'll keep the secret in their stomachs." The captain said, "I can only say that this is Gotham after all, and nothing is an absolute secret. "

temperature:"……"

Understood, the absolute validity period of this secret is two months, right?You can't guarantee it after two months.

But two months is enough time for her to watch the aurora, and I will talk about the rest later.

"Thank you very much for your professionalism." Wen said, "I only need two months."

As for how Wendy's father in this world would react, there was still such a long time anyway, why should he care?

Two months later, even if the other party finds out, it is impossible for Wendy's father to react in a murderous way to his own daughter... right?

Wen is not optimistic about this.

But the sled had already arrived, and the big fluffy dogs surrounded her, whining and whining, they came up to rub and hug her. Wen excitedly changed into a heavy coat, and rushed out to hug the dogs for fun.

The captain shook off the ashes after he had smoked the cigar.He silently looked at Wen's happy smiling face, and suddenly smiled.

"Little girl," he muttered, "if I were that Wayne boy . . . I wouldn't like my daughter living in Gotham."

"We can see the aurora today!" Wen said to Wendy while stroking the dog happily, "We can go directly to the best observation point! And because there are not many tourists during this period, most of them come in groups, We have to go back to rest at night, we can wait for the least crowded time to see the aurora!"

Wendy looked at the dogs that stood taller than herself.

"Aren't you happy watching the aurora?" Wen asked strangely.

"Happy." Wendy said, she pursed her lips, not knowing what to do to express that she was really happy, "Let's go to see the aurora."
