After buying the earth [Comprehensive British and American]

A burgeoning league of superheroes is in the works.

Bruce already had a preliminary idea of ​​this alliance, and now, driven by the common crisis, the implementation of the idea is particularly rapid.In particular, not long after Superman and Wonder Woman visit Wayne Manor, Batman encounters so-called demons on the night watch.

Bruce quickly noticed a fact from this "unexpected encounter": the mother box is in Gotham, and it is the mother box that attracted those demons.

—Very well, he thought, this is not surprising at all.

There is a high probability that this mother box is the one kept by humans, but the forces in Gotham are chaotic, and no one knows who owns the mother box.

So in order to find clues, Batman found Penguin, the most well-informed guy in Gotham City.

"I don't know!!!" Penguin screamed, he was hung upside down in the air, he could only hold the umbrella in his hand tightly, "I have never seen such a monster, I swear it has nothing to do with me I've been honest and responsible recently, and I haven't done anything bad!"

Batman stared at him. "You better tell the truth, Penguin."

"Honestly! I'm a person with good taste. This monster is not the one I would recruit, but the black mask is ruthless. Why don't you ask him?!" Penguin defended himself while trying to make trouble out of him. , "And those laboratories, you should pay attention to those damn laboratories, they are much crazier than me!"

--laboratory?This is indeed a good idea.

Batman's black mask glowed coldly under the moonlight, and nothing could be seen.

He pulled Penguin up, and the chubby crime boss immediately fell to one side, hugging the railing like he wanted to throw up.When he finally regained his composure and raised his head, the always elusive Batman had long since disappeared.

"...Yeah, that's right, it's always like this." He looked around, made sure Batman had left, and then complained loudly, "Always turn around and disappear, come and go when you want, damn it Yes - damn Batman! My men are a bunch of scum, not even a Batman can stop. Now there are some monsters... If Hilda is still here... Hilda, my dear friend -"

He took out his mobile phone, hesitated for a while in the night, and finally made the call.

The phone rang three times and was picked up.

"Hey?"

For the first time, Coppert felt that Hilda's voice was so beautiful, perhaps because he had just been threatened by Batman, his tone of voice became particularly sincere and moving: "Dear Hilda, my friend, I am very Miss you so much—”

There was a second of silence over there: "...you are?"

Coppert choked: "...Ha, haha, are you kidding me? Hilda, or are you angry with me? I am your most loyal friend—Oswald!"

"..." Hilda paused for a moment, and she glanced at the note on the phone—[Philanthropist Cobblepot] with a strange expression, and then said nonchalantly, "Oh, it's you, dear Oswald, What, is there anything you can do with me at night?"

"Look at you, don't I only think of you when something happens? No! This is definitely a slander to our sincere friendship!" Penguin said emotionally, "My friend, I swear I just want to care You—wait, Hilda, did I hear you wrong? Why are there waves on your side? Aren't you in New York?"

"..." After a while, Hilda's slightly dull voice came from the phone: "...Maybe it's because I'm on vacation by the sea."

——Why do you say "maybe"?Penguin was puzzled for a while, but it didn't seem to be important. He simply ignored it, cleared his throat, and followed his original train of thought: "I watched the show you participated in, and it's really you! My friend, that's very Excellent performance, I am sure, as long as you take time, you will definitely be able to make a huge name in that circle and become a future star in the entertainment circle."

"..." Hilda yawned.

"—But when you shine in New York, please don't forget your hometown, Gotham. This is where you belong, don't you miss it, dear Hilda?" , "No matter how good New York is, how can it compare to our Gotham's simple folk customs and talents? Hilda, no matter what, how can a hometown be better in a foreign land?"

Hilda: "Say it straight."

"When are you willing to come back to Gotham?" He immediately asked, "Believe me, as long as you are willing to come back, this city is willing to open everything to you and welcome your return."

"You want me to go back to Gotham?" Hilda asked back, "But I remember... you wanted to fire me?"

"What? No, no, dear Hilda, have you misunderstood me?" Coppert's tone was full of surprise, as if he had never thought of it before, "I never intended to fire you, You are one of my best employees. You know, it was just a small business trip, or even a vacation. Our company has always been people-oriented. I just let you go to New York for a business trip because I was worried that you were too tired from work. … …you can go back to Gotham right away, and come back to work with me, if you want."

"And help you deal with Batman?"

"If you will, my friend."

"It seems that Batman is looking for you, Oswald." Hilda said with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, "Why don't you share with me why he came to you first? Make me happy."

The Penguin paused, with an angry look flashing across his face, he ground his teeth secretly, and finally replied calmly: "—it's nothing, it's just another madness of Batman, he seems to think I did something , causing some monsters to appear in Gotham City."

"monster?"

"He called those things 'demonoids'." Oswald turned around, recalling the photo he saw from Batman's hand just now, "That thing is really disgusting, with wings and a face It looks like a bug...Speaking of which, my subordinates seem to have encountered similar things....There is no way, after all, this is Gotham City, and anything can appear here."

"..." Hilda paused, "Demon-like appeared in Gotham? Did Batman ask you anything else?"

"what?"

"For example, the mother box."

"Mother box? What is that?" Penguin asked back. He quickly realized that the mother box might be the real reason why Batman came to him today, that is to say, the mother box was what caused him to be hanged by Batman The reason—but Batman went around the corner and asked him if he had seen a fiend...

"A box," Hilda briefly explained, not minding leaking this information to a supervillain, "a product of alien technology, with mysterious powers, the ability to travel over distance, and control life... The demons should have come to snatch the mother box."

Penguin gasped, attracted by the ability of this so-called "mother box", his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help insulting Batman first: "fuckbatman!" Damn Batman!Is it necessary to be so guarded against him? !Why didn't you tell me about such an important treasure earlier? !

If he knew that the mother box was so powerful, he could... No, wait, it's not too late now!Since the mother box is still in Gotham...as long as he can find the mother box before Batman...

Penguin's eyes burst into light: "What aliens are not aliens? Since this thing has arrived in our Gotham, it belongs to our Gotham people.... In my opinion, it's better for you to go back to Gotham and let's join forces , get this treasure."

"First of all, you have to find the mother box first." She said carelessly.

"Are you kidding, Hilda," he retorted, "I'm the uncrowned king of the city, I control the birds of the city, I'm everywhere—even Batman depends on my sources, you Think I won't be able to find a mother box? Come back, Hilda, take the fastest plane back to our city, your force value plus my wisdom, we will be invincible! Wait until we get the mother box... Ultra-distance movement can not only help us avoid Batman's search, but also allow my trading empire to expand infinitely!"

"By then—" his eyes were full of ambition, "we will control the world!"

Hilda hung up the phone.

"Idiot." She sneered, "I already own the earth, why should I give it to that self-righteous fool for no reason?"

"But you agreed to him." Xiaolan said.

"I coaxed him," replied Hilda, "if I don't say that, why did he try so hard to find the mother box for me?"

"..." The artificial intelligence was a little surprised, "Compared to before, you seem to have changed a lot."

"Really?" Hilda asked back, "I didn't realize it myself."

"If the mother box of Atlantis was indeed taken by Advia..."

"Including the one in the hands of humans, we have two mother boxes," she said without hesitation, "and I want to have three, I should have three, since the mother boxes have all fallen on the earth, They should belong to the Lord of the Earth."

"Sounds very reasonable."

"Of course." She replied, watching the black and turbulent waves in her vision, "...but before that, I have to find a way to get back to Gotham."

"..."

It was a problem, and it was only after Crowley and Aziraphale left that Hilda realized the damned, fatal problem—not only could she not find her way back, but she couldn't find the tools to get back.The place where they went ashore was too remote. After walking for so long, they only saw a small village. The place with the best signal network was actually the seaside... Damn it.

"...If I call Superman for help now, can Superman fly to this remote mountain village and take me back to Gotham?"

"It's not realistic, Master." Xiao Lan replied, "If we summon the Gale..."

"That's going to make a lot of noise," Hilda said. "I think we'd better stay here for the night and ask tomorrow if anyone in the village is driving out—"

"Perhaps you can call for help."

"No, that's too embarrassing," she firmly refused, "As you all know, I was on vacation by the sea, not trapped by the sea." A seagull happened to circle the sky, and its cry was like a mockery, which set off her incomparable miserable.

Hilda paused, and walked resolutely to the lit place, and entered a dilapidated bar at the entrance of the village.

The bar was full of strong sailors, chatting loudly and drinking, when they saw Hilda, a strange woman, walking in, they fell into silence for a moment.

"Hey, girl, you're not from us, are you?"

Hilda glanced at the tattoo on the opponent's body: "No, I'm a foreigner."

"Outsider," the other party made an expression of sudden realization, with a bit of drunkenness on his face, and handed the huge wine glass in his hand to Hilda, "Drinking, chick."

"Don't drink."

As soon as the other party's expression changed, he immediately became obsessive and obsessed: "Why don't you drink?! Are you looking down on me?!" The liquid in the glass splashed out with his movements, and almost splashed on Hilda's body. She took a step back and stared at the desperate man with a bad expression: "You..."

"She said," she put a hand on the man's shoulder, and a big man with shaggy hair and a particularly strong body stood behind him, "She doesn't drink, so give me the wine."

"Ah, Arthur?" Seeing his face, the man immediately sobered up for three minutes. He handed the wine glass to the other party, turned around and left.

The man named Arthur drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, then hiccupped in front of Hilda, turned around and prepared to leave.

Hilda observed him and said, "My name is Hilda, your name is Arthur?"

"Arthur Curry," he replied casually, glancing at Hilda, "if you don't drink, this isn't the place for you."

"I don't think so." Hilda followed him and sat beside him with great interest, watching him order a lot of wine and start to drink one by one. While completely ignoring her existence, he suddenly asked, "Are you from Atlantis?"
