[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

At 7 p.m., the birthday party officially begins.In the dark night, the inside of Wayne's old house finally became a brightly lit and majestic scene.Looking down from above, Wayne Manor, which was dark in the past, finally lit up with several light bands formed by the traffic.

Compared with the formal and grand dinner style that was popular a few years ago, the background of tonight's party is decorated with a lot of flowers, balloons and other decorations that young people like, which makes this old house look different vitality.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite lively. Of course, there were many knowledgeable guests among them, cooperating with the host to present such a lively scene.

Jason was just a 15-year-old boy, and of course he was extremely excited by the atmosphere.But he firmly remembered his responsibilities and the special secret identity he possessed, so he single-mindedly picked up his avatar, put on a shy smile, and greeted the guests together under the leadership of his father.

The birthday party was held in honor of Bruce Wayne's adopted son.Even for Bruce's own sake, Jason couldn't do without some back and forth entertainment.It's just that, now all these are handed over to Bruce himself to take over. Jason just needs to cooperate with the performance and obediently accept the praise from the so-called elders who are close to his family.

Holding the wine glass, Dick put on his usual pleasing posture, and against the backdrop of Jason, he had the mature temperament of an adult.He walked around the arena like a butterfly, but wherever he walked, there were always bursts of laughter.

He is indeed a popular golden boy.

Dick had a smile on his face that didn't seem to fade. During the conversation with them, he was keenly aware of the deliberate approach of some people, the ridicule of some people hiding their smiles and waiting for a good show, and some people's implicit Worried eyes, but his face remained unchanged, pretending not to know.

He knew what they were waiting for and was just secretly amused.Though he did leave Bruce and go solo at Bludhaven.But that's not the same thing as breaking away from the Wayne family, they're family anyway.

He is just old enough to be independent.Incidentally, there are still some differences of opinion between him and Bruce.He looked at Jason, who looked very well-behaved on the surface, and recalled how he looked like Robin.

Dick inexplicably remembered the scene when he first met Jason, and the two secretly used the topic of driving the Batmobile to compete behind their old father's back.

Tsk, I'm so upset that I actually lost.Although, he didn't know until later that the other party was also trying to be brave.

What Robin didn't think about the Batmobile?

Looking away, Dick turned his attention back to the party.After teasing each other with his acquaintances and exchanging some plausible recent developments, he held half a glass of wine, slipped his footsteps, and walked through a gap in the flow of people.

After brushing the sense of presence, Dick felt that the task of making a familiar face should come to an end, and quietly retreated from the crowd.I don't know how he escaped from the state that was still the focus of attention just now, but he restrained his sense of existence in a blink of an eye, and successfully avoided the sight of others.He went straight to another dim corridor, because with his eyesight, he was sure that he saw the figure he was looking for.

"Hey Grace, you're here! Looks like you can take it easy." Dick called her from behind. "Maybe we can enjoy the party together this time."

"Hey, Richard." Miss Grey turned around, and she, who was completely in the shadows, returned to the light again.She stepped out of the shadow that perfectly covered everything, and the sound of her footsteps pattered in the corridor, making Dick feel inexplicably tense.

Miss Grey changed into a dress today, and compared to the previous velvet dress, which was dark as night, this one looked extra light.Layers of yarn interweave the elegant lines of ancient Greek-style clothing, but in comparison, due to the material problem, it is much fluffier.The skirt gradually transitions from white to dark blue, which makes people easily think of the sea with turbulent waves, or the blue sky with white clouds.The pleats of the gauze skirt were gently stacked together, hanging down softly, winding around the slender waist, and swaying her figure as she walked.

The broken diamonds on the hair accessories are sprinkled on the long golden slightly curly hair, fixed by the pins buried in the bun, as if covering her with a layer of stardust at dawn. At this moment, Miss Grey, Like a goddess who just walked down from the clouds, she is more dignified and mysterious than in the daytime.

"You are so beautiful tonight." Dick praised, the usual compliments that came out of his mouth in the past, all melted into the self-evident scenery at this moment.

He suddenly stretched out a hand and handed it in front of her, "Excuse me, do I have the honor to invite you to dance together?"

Dick added, "It would be a pity not to be able to dance in such a beautiful dress."

Miss Grey thought for a while, she had just checked everywhere, and there was no trace of mistakes so far.Before that, both Mr. Wayne and Jason expressed their intention to invite her to participate in this birthday party as a guest after work came to an end.

Miss Grey blinked, and finally turned her head, the tail of golden hair slipped from her shoulders, swung twice and hung down on her chest.

"Ah, of course. Thank you for your invitation." Miss Grey put her hand up, and lightly tapped the other's palm with her fingertips.

So, half an hour after the party started, when the atmosphere was gradually rising and the melodious music sounded on the edge of the dance floor, among the young people dancing happily holding hands in the hall, suddenly there was a pair of limelight Outperformed all other partners.

The young man brushed his hair up and pinned it to one side, exposing his full forehead.His bright blue eyes watched his partner across the way with obvious joy.The Italian suit embellished his broad shoulders and slender waist. The soft curves gave him a sense of freedom, and the high lapel collar added a steady and mature temperament.A corner of the orange-and-white plaid square scarf exposed from the chest pocket collides with the army blue fabric to create a lively vigor unique to young people.

If he is the coast beside the evening glow, then the female companion he brought up on his arm is the breezy sea bordering the sky.

The soft gauze is woven into moving curves, floating casually, reminiscent of the goddess in the temple gracefully holding the hanging white cloth under the remaining stone pillars, holding up the fresh branches full of spring, and swaying blessings .She was wearing a gauze skirt with simple colors, embellished with waves on the skirt, and stood beside her male companion generously. There was no surprise on her face that she was suddenly invited to dance by the eldest son of the Wayne family, she just smiled faintly with.

From the point of view of dressing alone, during the whole banquet, the taste of the couple's clothing was firmly above the average level, and their own appearance advantages can make the most of this outstanding.At Jason's age, this was probably the most veritable prom king and prom queen he'd ever seen.

The men and women on the dance floor all slowed down tacitly, and their eyes were involuntarily attracted to that pair.None of them could see that this young man and woman who were twirling nimbly and briskly on the dance floor was only meeting for the second time so far, and they were only a little better than strangers.

But the dance steps of the two of them are well connected, the movement changes quickly and flexibly, the style is unified, the rhythm is in sync, and they slowly speed up the pace with the increasingly high-pitched music, showing their own unique style in a way that is almost virtuoso. The atmosphere on the field was pushed to another climax.

Blue and White twirled on the dance floor, Dick took Miss Grey's hand with one hand, and gently supported her waist with the other.Under the hem of the skirt, Miss Grey stepped on slender high-heeled shoes, but stabilized her body in the rapid dance steps.She still had the time to feel the contraction and relaxation of the muscles under her palms. The body hidden under the suit was stronger than it looked, and her response was also extraordinary.

But when the song was over, Dick let go and didn't stay any longer.He said that he had prepared a birthday surprise for his younger brother, and now he just went to confirm it, and then he said goodbye, and left for the time being.

Miss Grey danced very well this time.Although this body is somewhat lacking in force value, it still has many excellent places in other aspects.It's rare for someone to keep up with her rhythm and cooperate with her so tacitly.And it's further proof that Richard Grayson, the eldest son of the Wayne family from the circus, has apparently never slackened in his physical exercise.

Miss Grey looked around and found that many people's eyes were on her who was still standing on the edge of the dance floor, and many of them showed expressions of eagerness to try.After Dick withdrew from the stage with unknown skill, all the attention was on her.

Ms. Grey can even imagine that the Gotham tabloids will reveal some secrets about wealthy families tomorrow.

"It's a little troublesome." She saw people's eager eyes and undisguised whispers.

Just thinking about how to retreat from the focus of the crowd, Miss Grey raised her right foot and was about to turn away when she stopped.

The movement under the lively party was barely audible, and there was no sign at all. Suddenly, the lights in the hall went out, and it flickered twice before it went completely dark.The sound in the hall stopped for half a second of silence, and then, people couldn't help but screamed.

After a few ear-piercing screams erupted in the darkness, it seemed that nothing unexpected happened.The owners of those voices came to their senses afterward, and they all covered their mouths, lest they let others know of their gaffe.

After a short period of silence, the room became noisy again, "What's going on", "What happened", "Is the power outage", "How long will it take?" Along with these questions, there were also a few screams and collisions that suddenly sounded from time to time Come to think of it, they must have been stepped on or tripped by the people next to them while they were moving.

Ms. Grey was also surprised, wasn't she, she had just rested for a while, did such an accident happen?

At least, in the previous inspection, everything should be fine, even the backup power supply is safe and secure.

Is this a real accident, or is it actually a premeditated attack?

Many local citizens of Gotham at the party have recovered from the daze just now, and feel that they should rethink how to protect their own safety.

As an authentic Gotham native, petty theft on the streets, occasional robbery and explosions, and gangster shootouts are already common appetizers.Sometimes, those lunatics from Arkham ran out randomly, and whether they could get home safely that day would be the choice of fate.

In Gotham, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected.If you wholeheartedly pin your hopes on the weak Gotham Police Department and hired bodyguards, and lose the awareness of self-defense and the ability to save yourself, I am afraid that you will not be able to stay in Gotham for long.

Miss Grey frowned secretly. Taking advantage of the moonlight outside through the glass window, she could still see a few vague shadows, so she hurriedly moved towards the entrance of the hall so that she could react in time.

Immediately afterwards, the first attack occurred.People only heard the obvious sound of "Glagla", which spread rapidly like a crack on the ice. There was a dull, sparse sound on the ground that was still covered with carpets.

This is not over yet, in the subsequent screams, there was another burst of "cracking" sounds.

Both indoor and outdoor glass shattered in invisible shocks.

At this moment, no one cared about anyone else, screams and footsteps sounded one after another, and people stumbled towards the exit in their memory in the dark, pushing and congesting the previously loose space.

It seemed that she was really a little ignorant, and she insisted on getting involved in an attempt to ruin the birthday party she had planned.

As Miss Grey walked quickly, she felt that the anger in her heart was surging at the same time.

Not only the glass of the glass windows, but also the hard and fragile decorations such as the crystal lamps on the top, everything has been scattered, and some have become small attacks one after another.

She had to hurry up and stop this chaos before the final big move.

Out of instinct and a premonition, Miss Grey chose to retreat to the open exit in the dark.She is still very self-aware of her force value.

The current situation is unknown, the enemy is unknown, and anything can happen on such an occasion. If she wants to stop it all, the first thing she needs to do is to protect herself.

It's a pity that the people in the hall were really flustered. She felt the uncontrolled crowd swaying around, subtly delaying her pace.

In a panic, Miss Grey stretched her hand down and lifted the skirt at her feet.In the dark, this will only be a drag when attacked.

She cursed secretly in her heart, and then pulled up the hem of the skirt that was hanging down at her feet.It was difficult to find a breakthrough in the one-piece fabric, but her fingertips caught the disassembled headgear at some point, and scratched the sharp end towards her thigh.Pulling hard again, with a "stab", she simply and neatly tore off the long skirt that had become a burden.Layers of light gauze fell to the ground, and the sutures lost their fixation and spread out, which could be several meters long.

Miss Grey threw down the fabric of the skirt, felt her body obviously lightened, and immediately started running in the hall.It's really surprising that Miss Grey, who was wearing high heels at this time, can move through the chaotic dark hall flexibly at this moment, as if she can have night vision.

This is of course, because when she was making the layout before, she had memorized all the routes she passed, and about the hall where the party was held, she wished she could even feel a crack in the wall.

What Ms. Grey has to do now is to look for possible gaps in this incident and bring this accident to an end.

No one can just ruin her banquet like this, smash her signboard recklessly, and then get out of the way.
