[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

Inside Jason's apartment.

He looked at Ruby sitting on the sofa with a blank expression, holding a book of Borges' poems and reading with relish.

"Can't you use a more normal body?" He said impatiently.

Why do you have to use the body of a five or six-year-old girl when you can obviously become an adult?

Ruby raised her wet eyes and looked at him innocently: "Because...it will be very tiring to become so big."

Jason:  …

"Listen, brat." He said sternly, "I can't keep you for too long. Since you are not from Gotham, I suggest you leave early."

Ruby: "Oh..."

Holding a thick red-covered poetry book in her small palm, she stared at Jason with her big eyes.

Jason felt uncomfortable from being stared at, and always felt that he was bullying the child, so he had to take off the headgear in a self-defeating manner, threw it aside, and said, "Don't mess with the things here, I'm going to take a shower first!"

After taking off the hood, Ruby finally saw the face of her next host visually for the first time.

His facial contours were almost impeccable, and he was extremely handsome. A pair of blue eyes with a faint green luster stared at her intently. Their sharp blades gave him an extra layer of sharpness for no reason.

He looks really young, maybe less than 20 years old, with a youthful look that hasn't completely faded away, but his demeanor can't find the slightest childishness at all, which makes him a little bit more contradictory in temperament .

Ruby: ...beautiful!

System: Poor vocabulary is like this. If you don't study Chinese well, you can't say rainbow farts when you meet handsome guys.

Seeing Ruby just staring at him, Jason couldn't help frowning: "Did you hear that?"

Ruby chick nods pecking rice.

Jason was satisfied: at least the kid was well behaved.

... No, she is not a child at all!Jason, Jason, don't let your appearance fool you!

Jason, who was deceived, went to take a shower angrily.

Ruby looked at his back with "I'm very angry" written all over it, and wondered: "Why is he angry? Didn't I promise him?"

System: "...Maybe you are too ugly?"

Ruby: "..."

……

Jason stood under the shower head, frowning.

He suddenly began to feel a little strange.

...Why did he bring this child back so easily?Is it really just because I found some kind of subtle resonance in her?

Or is it just to confuse Bruce?

He closed his eyes irritably, letting the warm water wet his eyelashes.

No.

That kid can't stay here.

Bruce was right, she should have been properly guided.

Her eyes are pure and clean, and she must not be too old. Even if Bruce is not a good choice, she should go to a mutant school or something.

Instead of staying with someone like him.

……

Ten minutes later, he came out of the bathroom while wiping his wet hair, took a deep breath, and was about to announce his decision to Ruby who was curled up on the sofa.

Then he saw Ruby rubbing her stomach, and then said in a soft, cotton candy-like voice, "Jason...do you have something to eat?"

It's obviously a normal tone.

Jason felt like she was leaning on his shoulder, acting like a baby against his ear, which made people's hearts almost melt.

Jason: "..."

The phrase "You must go now" stuck in his mouth, and he swallowed it abruptly, almost choking himself.

He heard himself say: "...There is something to eat in the refrigerator, take it yourself."

Then he saw Ruby jumped off the sofa, ran to the kitchen with short legs that were not as high as his knees, and put on his slippers.

It may be because the slippers are too big, the legs are too short, and the running is too fast. When Ruby passed by Jason, she suddenly staggered and almost fell backwards.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Jason grabbed Ruby and lifted her into the air.

"Crack."

Ruby's off-shoes, which were bigger than her head, fell to the floor.

Immediately, the two stared wide-eyed, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

Jason was silent for a second, then lifted the little guy, who weighed less than his gun, to the sofa and put it away.

Then, ignoring Ruby's puzzled gaze, he walked into the kitchen resignedly, took a sandwich and threw it to Ruby.

Then he sat on the sofa and watched the little girl slurp and eat the sandwich like a little hamster, with a pair of bare feet dangling.

He wanted to put on a serious expression but couldn't.

After finally waiting for the little hamster to finish eating the sandwich, he cleared his throat and said seriously, "Hey, listen, you can't stay with me."

Ruby tilted her head: "Why?"

"Because I don't have time to support you!" Jason said with an impatient expression, "I still have a lot of things to do."

"I don't need you to support me," Ruby said, "I can live in your body."

Jason: "No!"

Ruby who was yelled at was a little aggrieved and shrank her neck.

The system can't stand it anymore: You might as well just possess the body directly, don't be reasonable, and leave when you have enough energy.

Ruby: But he's a nice guy.

System: ...Then you might as well be imprisoned in Arkham with the clown, where there are all bad guys.

Ruby: But he's an S rank...

system:…………

Jason began to feel that he was bullying the children again. He was a little annoyed, and he didn't know whether he was angry with himself or something else, but he explained patiently: "Listen, kid, it's very dangerous to follow me, I'm not Time to take care of you, and no time to protect you, so either I send you home now, or I send you to the police station."

Ruby said, "I don't need you to protect me, you can't beat me."

Jason: "..."

Wait a minute?

"What did you say?" he asked.

Ruby: "I said, I don't need you to protect me."

Jason: "No, the last sentence."

Ruby: "You can't beat me."

Jason:  …

This sentence is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Jason almost laughed angrily: "Are you sure?"

Ruby nodded.

She had just stayed in this handsome guy's body, and already had a general understanding of his physical condition.

The summary is:

Without any mutations, it is really a very, very powerful human body, and it is the purest human body with the best quality she has seen so far.

By the way, the objects of comparison are a certain high school student before the mutation, a certain lung cancer patient and the clown.

But—he is still a human after all, how could he beat Ruby who is invulnerable and has no weaknesses?

——At least Ruby herself thought so.

Ruby: Confidence.jpg

Jason was speechless for a moment, he moved his wrist joints and said, "Okay, let's make the negotiation easier. As long as you can block my three moves without getting knocked down, then you can stay."

Ruby thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay!"

……

3 minutes later, in the training room.

Jason changed into his training clothes casually, and looked at the little loli who was standing barefoot on the wooden floor opposite him.

The latter was looking curiously at the various weapons hanging on the weapon rack.

"Concentrate," he said.

Ruby then turned her head to look at him, then raised her head and said, "Come on."

Jason: "..."

He thought, if this was a real battle, the little girl who was full of flaws had already been beaten to the ground by him three or four times.

But he didn't have any idea of ​​underestimating the enemy, after all, he saw with his own eyes the appearance of the little girl when she beat the clown with one move.

So he concentrated and rushed up.

Ruby's whole body is full of flaws, what he needs to worry about is not how to defeat her, but how to control the damage to a minimum.

result--

As a result, he saw the little girl's hands turned into tentacles that looked elastic and sticky, sticking directly to the ceiling like chewing gum, and then flew up without saying a word, sticking to the ceiling and not coming down!

Jason who jumped at nothing: ...

Jason: "Come down."

Ruby: "No, you've already wasted one move."

Jason: "..."

He has seen all kinds of efficient evasion methods, but he has never seen one that can't get off the ceiling!

This is not about Wude at all!

But Jason won't be stumped by this little trick. He didn't stop sprinting, kicked his two slender legs directly on the wall, and ran up the vertical wall for two meters. Backflip, leaping directly into the air——

Ruby was shocked: My god!

Before she could react, Jason grabbed her white and slender arm and pulled her down from the ceiling!

"Oh!"

Ruby thought she was going to fall to the ground, but the pain she imagined did not come.

She opened her eyes and saw that Jason was hugging her and fell to the ground, helping her avoid the vertical fall.

The muffled sound just now was obviously caused by Jason's fall.

Jason grinned in pain: "Gah..."

He swore that he had acted out of no thought to protect the old, the weak, and the sick just in an emergency, even though the little girl wasn't actually the old, the sick, or the sick at all.

Ruby froze for a moment.

It suddenly occurred to her that when she was on the streets of Gotham, it seemed that Jason also hugged her when she fell from the street lamp.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little touched in her heart.

Before she could speak, Jason threw her to the ground with a snap, and sat up.

Ruby who was thrown on the wooden floor: ...

Okay, that little touch is gone!

"Two moves, you lose." Jason rubbed the back of his head and said expressionlessly.

"No, come again!" Ruby straightened up and sat up straight, took a stick from the weapon rack, and covered her face with a set of chaotic fake dog-beating sticks.

Jason easily dodged Ruby's stick like a stroll, and said while dodging: "Although I'm not that good at sticks, I'm happy to have fun with the person who wields sticks."

After he finished speaking, he dodged and grabbed Ruby's stick directly, wanting to disarm.

The result was not paid.

Jason: "...?"

The skills are not good, but the strength is quite strong?

Seeing that the stick was caught, Ruby simply gave up on the stick, put her toe on the stick, and kicked Jason with the other foot.

Jason: ...As long as someone teaches this child how to fight, she won't be able to fight so badly.

So he turned slightly to avoid the kick, and grabbed Ruby's exposed ankle by the way.

Originally, he wanted to grab Ruby who was stuck in the air and couldn't bear the force, and throw her out, but for some reason, the moment he touched the smooth, white and tender skin, his movements paused, and the fighting desire in his heart I was thoroughly poured by a pot of heart-cooling ice water.

So he stretched out his other hand and grabbed Ruby's shoulder, who was out of balance.

Then, he grabbed Ruby's ankle with one hand and her shoulder with the other, and put her on the ground like a doll.

Ruby: "...?"

Jason: "..."

Ruby: "Thank...thank you?"

Jason: "...You're welcome."
