[Comprehensive British and American] HE saves the world

The person concerned is very regretful now, very regretful.

Ada still maintains a gentle smile like Nunnally's on her face, but her heart is full of despair.I can't wait to go back half an hour ago and screw off the head of the one who nodded and agreed to let Oswald be the guide.

In fact, the reason why she hired Penguin as a guide in the first place was very simple.

Because in the information given to her by the AI, there is such an entry in the Penguin's information (criminal history) - an avid jewelry collector.

This reminded her of Gotham City's most famous jewel thief - Catwoman.

Catwoman's aesthetics is really good, she has never stolen unsightly jewelry, she has a lot of research on jewelry at first sight, she is a master of jewelry appreciation hidden among the people.

It was all the illusion given to her by Catwoman, which made Ada mistakenly believe in Penguin's aesthetics.

As it turns out, not every jewelry lover has a great aesthetic.

Penguin's aesthetics of jewelry can be summed up in four words - big is good.

She didn't feel the other design advantages of the jewelry recommended by Oswald to Ada along the way, but she clearly felt one thing.

That is, every gemstone is so big...

It’s not that pigeon eggs are not good, you can see the pigeon eggs in “Lust, Caution” are very beautiful—especially when they are worn on Tang Wei’s fingers.The 69.7-carat diamond ring that Burton gave to Elizabeth Taylor is also very beautiful, but it is so beautiful only when it is worn on Elizabeth Taylor's hand!

But the aesthetic of "big is beautiful" is not suitable for Nunnally!

It's not a question of affordability.A person like Schneizel who was willing to give the button of the nuclear bomb to his sister in the original work, of course he would not pay attention to gems worth a few million dollars.

This is the right question!

Gem of the penguin choice!All!It's too fucking big!

What is the beauty of a gem the size of a fist...

At this moment, Ada suddenly recalled such things as the colorful keyboard, the marquee case, and the dead Barbie pink lipstick that has occupied the TOP1 list of "Girlfriends least want to receive gifts but boyfriends insist on giving them" all the year round. .

Probably this is the aesthetic of macho.

She sighed deeply.

In the end, Ada chose a ruby ​​bracelet from the pile of jewels that Oswald picked for her. The ruby ​​was cut into a rectangular shape, surrounded by star-like diamonds and pure white pearls, and wrapped around her slender wrist. , her skin looks fairer and fairer—it is the only one in the pile of "big is better" that is not so exaggerated.

She took the bracelet and the amethyst iris brooch Sakiko had chosen for her to check out.But the sales lady told her with a smile that Mr. Copperpot had already paid for all her consumption here today.

"Fine……"

Ada didn't get too entangled in these things - entangled with such trivial matters with rich people would only make her feel particularly petty.She accepted the two jewels after thanking Penguin frankly.Then the two bid farewell politely and left the jewelry store one after another.

"Return the gift to Mr. Oswald, you can just figure it out." On the way back, Ada told AI.

Saki Shiko nodded in understanding, and asked her in an "I understand" tone: "Can I just give you gems?"

"Yes." Ada sighed deeply, "No matter what kind of gem, just buy the biggest one."

Big is better anyway, right?

……

……

……

Ada didn't expect that she and Penguin would meet again so soon.

On the fourth night of their farewell, she appeared in front of the Iceberg Club.

The reason she came here was a phone call she had received earlier from her previous patient, Annie.

Annie was the first patient she took after coming to Gotham, a little girl with very serious adolescent behavior problems.Almost all the behavior problems you can find in degenerate teenagers in America, you can find in this girl.Playing truant, making trouble for the teacher, drug abuse, alcoholism, extremely chaotic relationship between men and women... When her father cut off her financial supply because of her excessive behavior, the girl even ran away from home and lived in the home of a so-called male friend. own body to earn pocket money.

Her father was so troubled by the trouble she had caused that he brought her back and forced her to come to Nunnally Lampelucci's psychiatric clinic.

And this time, because her "new boyfriend" took her to the Iceberg Club, she accidentally ran into the Penguin, so she hid in the toilet crying and called her.

After all, Annie is still too young a girl, no matter how unscrupulous and unscrupulous she is in her usual behavior, when she really gets into trouble, she is like every little girl of her age, afraid to call her father, I had no choice but to call all the friends I could find one by one.

However, Ada is the only person who will come to the Iceberg Club because of Anne.

"I don't see why this kind of behavior is necessary." Standing behind her, Saki Shiko once again expressed her puzzlement, "Why do human beings always divide everything by interests, and at the same time like to do things that are not good for themselves? matter?"

"Because human beings are creatures with feelings." Ada sighed, "Help if you can, such a small girl... people can't bear to see it."

The emotionless AI tilted its head, noncommittal.

"If you must."

Saying this, Sakiko picked her up with one hand, and dragged the heavy wheelchair up the steps of the Iceberg Club with the other.It wasn't until they got to the platform that the wheelchair was put away, and she was helped to sit on the wheelchair, straightening Ada's long skirt and hair that had become messy due to the previous action.

"Follow your wishes, my lady."

……

……

……

That night, Bruce Wayne also sat drinking in the Iceberg Club as "Marlon Match".

Of course, when he wants to obtain information, he can come directly to beat the Penguin, but it is an emergency, and he has direct evidence to prove that the Penguin is related to the case at hand... If he has something to do, he can beat the Penguin first Is that still Batman?That's what a madman at Arkham Asylum would do.

Gotham has been quite calm lately, which makes Bruce Wayne feel that something is not right.So he disguised himself and lurked in the Iceberg Club, hoping to see some clues here.

Well, and by the way, gather some intelligence.Observe the recent movements of the Gotham gangsters.

But he never expected to hear that familiar female voice in such a place.

"I want to see Mr. Copperpot."

When hearing this sentence, Match Ma Long almost choked to death by himself.He turned his head in disbelief, and saw that extremely familiar figure.

Nunnally Lampelucci.

The girl in the wheelchair didn't fit in with the atmosphere of the entire Iceberg Club. She didn't look like someone who should appear in this kind of place. The soft and clean white skirt was decorated with peacock blue ribbons. A pair of snow-white slender hands protruded from the edge of the leaf, gracefully folded on the chest and abdomen.

What attracted the most attention was her face. The closed eyes did not damage her beauty. The small ivory face was like a delicate sculpture, exuding a soft tranquility that was incompatible with the atmosphere of the whole bar. temperament.It seemed that she should be sitting in the glass greenhouse drinking black tea, and she shouldn't be in this place where even the lights are a bit colder than other places.

Apparently he wasn't the only one who noticed this incongruity. Almost all the guests of the Iceberg Club were looking in this direction. He could even see a few black-clothed thugs standing above with tight faces looking this way, whispering to each other from time to time. Whispering something.

And the request she made surprised Bruce—Copperpot?She wants to meet Penguin?

This behavior of coming up to see your boss obviously also shocked the Copperpot family. The manager who was stopped by her blinked several times, as if this was the only way to confirm what he heard just now.

"Just tell Mr. Copperpot that it was Miss Lampeluki who came looking for him."

The Asian woman who had been standing behind the girl like an invisible person suddenly spoke.She looked at the manager blankly, and repeated what she had just said in a voice that did not fluctuate.

"Nunnaly Lampelucci. Just tell Mr. Copperpot that name."

Seeing the natural attitude of the two, the manager looked suspiciously back and forth between them, and nodded slowly.

"... I'll ask Mr. Copperpot," he said after all.

Bruce Wayne began to think that if Penguin was going to trouble the two of them for a while, it would take a few seconds for him to change clothes and save people.

...Based on Penguin's usual style, no matter what, he should be in time.

However, to Bruce's surprise, Penguin came very quickly, not only quickly, but also with a smile on his face.

Bruce Wayne couldn't help shivering.

The smiling Penguin, oh my goodness.

Bruce Wayne has seen the commercial smile that Oswald puts on in public, and Batman has seen everything but the Penguin smile, whether it's mocking, sneering, swearing, rage...but he really Never seen a penguin with a smile on his face.

Or this...gentle smile...

"Good evening, Nunnally, I really didn't expect you to come here." His voice was soft and unheard of, "I heard that you have something to ask for me, is there anything I can do for you?"

...Bruce Wayne took some effort to suppress some expressions that should not be on Matchmarlon's face.

But Nunnally Lampello didn't show any surprise on her face, as if the Penguin she knew was such a gentle and polite gentleman.She also made her request as a matter of course.

"A kid I know seems to come to play with you tonight." She said softly, "Her name is Anne, and her father is worried that she hasn't come home so late, so let me check the situation. She About fourteen or fifteen, a very pretty fair-haired girl with a tattoo here on her arm... Has anyone here seen her, Oswald?"

"Annie, Annie..." Penguin thought for a while, then turned to his subordinates, "Is there a girl like this who drank too much at our place before?"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Copperpot." His subordinate said very kindly, "Because she doesn't look very old, we were worried about her condition, so we invited her to rest at the back."

Bruce Wayne: "..."

This skillful inversion of black and white is worthy of you, Penguin.If he didn't know what kind of place the Iceberg Club was, he might believe his statement as if it was a well-run upper-class restaurant.

"Help her over here. That girl drank too much. It's best to let her take some sober medicine first, so as not to make the scene ugly after a while, understand?"

Penguin exhorted, then turned his head and smiled at Nunnally Lampelucci.

"Do you want me to arrange someone to take you back later? You also know that nights in Gotham are really not|safe."

Bruce Wayne: "………"

How dare Penguin say this.

Batman thought blankly.

The author has something to say:

This is the world with a favorability score of 99.

Annie is an original character, and the prototype is a real case I saw in a psychology book.

Sorry for being a little dizzy today, so the update is late.

Tomorrow is still five o'clock in the afternoon, dear.
