[Comprehensive British and American] The villain is also looking for a job today

Jason was very fast, and after seeing Ide's figure, he followed quietly behind.

The dark alleys of Gotham have been so damp and dark all year round. The light from the street lamps on the avenue can't reach the alleys at all. The houses on both sides are of different heights, sometimes close together, sometimes sparsely.Often the only light source in this kind of laneway is the warm light from the glass of the houses on both sides.

There was no rain for the first time today, Jason looked up, the blue night sky was almost cloudless, and the moon could not be seen, but the night was sprinkled with diamond-like stars.

He has been following her for about 10 minutes, and the girl hasn't noticed anyone following her.Jason grew up in dark alleys. He knows that the alleys of Gotham are winding and deep like a maze. It is easy for outsiders to get lost in them, but the girl walked firmly without any hesitation, and seemed to know where her destination was.

Following Ide through a dark alley and down three stairs, the houses on both sides became darker and darker, until no house was still lit.It was already very far away here, and Jason suddenly felt that he had lost his sense of direction.

The girl stopped.

Arrived at the destination?Jason held his breath quietly. He wasn't on a mission today, so he didn't wear his uniform and night vision goggles.But Batman has been training him in a dark environment, so he can vaguely see that Edo is standing in front of a two-story building with a quaint spire.

Thinking of Batman made Jason a little distracted again, and he forced himself to focus on the White Witch.

The girl pushed the door open without hesitation for a long time, and the house seemed to be unlocked.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, Jason came out from behind the wall and walked towards the house.

This is a typical Georgian-style building. There are many places in the United States with this style of building, which was brought by the British colonists in the 17th century.

Although the United States officially declared independence in 1783, this architectural style, which was prosperous in Europe for a while, has both Baroque curves and Rococo decorative elements. It has been preserved and is deeply loved by the people of the United States.

There are some strange patterns carved on the gate, and the same patterns are also arranged vertically on the door beam, but the color has been slightly mottled, and the old color is condensed on the door beam.Jason walked around to observe the windows. Most of the windows in Georgian style buildings are in pairs up and down, divided into small grids.The window was pitch black, and Jason looked closer only to find that it was sealed from the inside.

It seems that the only entrance is the main entrance.Jason looked down at the time: it was one o'clock in the morning, and the surrounding area was extremely quiet.He put his head on the door and listened to the movement in the house, but there was no sound.

He turned the doorknob lightly, and sure enough the door was not locked. After opening a crack, he squeezed in sideways.

The room was very dark. Jason stood there quietly for a while before opening his eyes. The only source of light was a faint light leaking from the crack of the door behind. On the right is a restaurant-like layout, on the left there is a row of three-seat sofas facing away from him, which should be the living room, and not far from him is facing a staircase leading to the second floor.

He groped to the right against the wall, and he remembered that the window he had just checked outside was in this position.

Slowly groping around, I found the rough window frame.The owner of this household even sealed the glass windows firmly with a material similar to steel plates.

Jason quickly checked the first floor, but found no sign of Ed.This house has a long history, but there is nothing special, just like the old houses that can be seen everywhere in Gotham.

He decided to go to the second floor to have a look.

A long, narrow and deep corridor connected the two rooms at the top, and Jason chose to go to the right.

It was too dark. Since there was no light source on the second floor, and he couldn't see at night like Catwoman, Jason was a little hesitant to go further into the room. He hadn't seen Ed's body yet. Shadow, there's never been a more opportune moment than when the enemy wants to ambush.

Click.

A blaze of fire lit up in the darkness.

"Who are you?" Ide got out from under the table, holding a candlestick in his hand, and looked at the extra black-haired boy in surprise.

Under the candlelight, her fair face shimmered like jade, and the projection of her eyelashes hit her face, flickering.There is no trace of the murderous horror in the rumors.

Jason suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He had been wearing a Robin mask in the Creber's private museum, and now he was a suspicious-looking stranger to the girl.Also because he wasn't wearing Robin's uniform, he hesitated to grab her directly.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ede was not afraid, "It doesn't matter who you are and what your purpose is. You are too unlucky tonight."

Is she threatening me?Jason raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. His brow bones were well formed, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.The shape of his face is very similar to Bruce Wayne's, but the boyishness is too heavy, and the lines of his face are not so blunt, which immediately dissipated the hostility of the whole face.

Ed: "How long did you come in after me?"

Jason: "After you came in, I came in about 15 minutes later."

Ed was silent for a while, "I've been in this room for at least 2 hours."

Her tone of voice didn't sound like she was exaggerating because she was feeling too tormented and felt that every second was like a minute, but like——she really spent 2 hours here.

"How is it possible? Then why don't you leave..." Jason paused. If she could leave, she would have left long ago.

Ed approached Jason with a candlestick, and said in a complicated tone, "Come with me."

Jason followed her down the stairs, and when there were five steps left from the first floor, Ed and Jason stopped at the same time.

It was dark downstairs, not the kind of darkness that Jason had just entered the house—few people in modern society can feel complete darkness, just like when you turn off the lights in the middle of the night, your eyes suddenly plunged into darkness, but it never happened. After a while, you will find that the light of the router next to the bed is flickering slightly, and the faint light is reflected on the mirror, and the mirror will have a faint light.

This is why Jason was able to successfully complete the investigation on the first floor just now. Even though the light from the crack of the door was so weak, it was enough for him.

But now, it is truly dark.This made Jason think of a black hole, which would devour anything that came close to it, including light.He actually felt that they were standing on the edge of a black hole, and all time and matter were being swallowed by it.

"My intuition tells me that we can't get close to it." Ed's words were very soft, as if he was whispering in Jason's ear, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

Jason also replied very lightly: "It seems to be alive..."
