[Zhongyingmei] The Spirit Master is backstabbing again

This one, Ms. Eileen from Metropolis, is going on vacation somewhere else after a few days in Gotham.

This one is Mr. Harry, a taxi driver who seems to be in poor health. He drives and works normally.

The two had a simple quarrel over friction with a car.

——It seems like a common coincidence, just like countless small events that happen every day in the city.

However, Selina raised her head, looked at the lady to the left, and the gentleman to the right, and still couldn't ignore the too obvious name marks on the heads of the two: "..."

The little magical creature who has just started to contact humans, nodded thoughtfully:

Ah, it turns out that you modern humans are all masters of performing arts, and at the same time, you have pseudonyms per capita.

That's it, #I learned new cold knowledge today! #

The system that is covering the whole world to search for relevant information about [Robot Baby]: "...?"

ah?Is it because he is too incompetent as an intelligent AI... Why hasn't he calculated that humans have such a hobby so far?

With a strong sense of belief in [respecting personal preferences and racial traditions], Selinya tried her best to ignore the clear signs above their heads, and continued to listen to their conversation.

——Actually, they looked like they were [fighting for the sake of fighting], not really angry.

Not long after Selinya appeared, Mary waved her hand impatiently, "Forget it, that's it, I'm going to the Diamond District."

Following Mary's movements, the diamond ring on her hand glistened under the sun, revealing very deliberately that it had an extremely noble price.

——Looks like a template for an unruly rich wife.

"I wish you got more entertainment in Gotham," Mary complained with a natural and fluent American accent, "and more fun."

Seeing that Mary was about to get into the car, Selina immediately said, "Excuse me, can you give me a ride? I just happen to be going to the Diamond District."

She touched her pocket and added seriously: "I will pay the full fare."

"It's not a good habit to hitch a ride with a stranger, my dear," Mary said, looking at Selina, "but since you are so cute, you can make an exception this time."

After all, the more people who have witnessed [her], the easier it is for her to escape later.

The driver, who looked a little lame and injured, didn't have any objections.

So Selinya nodded obediently, "Thank you."

Mary put her hands on the top edge of the door frame to keep Selina from bumping her head when she got into the car.

She couldn't help thinking that Rosie, her daughter, her treasure, would probably be as lovely as this girl when she grew up.

God, I wish Watson and Sherlock could still remember their previous agreement about 'don't bring Rosie to the scene of the case'.Otherwise, her little girl will have to go through the childhood of listening to case reports and doing bedtime stories.

Mary fiddled with her dyed black hair casually, looked at Selina and said, "You are so sweet, my dear. I hope my children can be as well-behaved and sensible as you."

- It must be added that the 'children' here do not refer to Rosie.It's Sherlock and Watson.

Selinya tilted her head to look at Mary, carefully considered how to reply, and finally replied solemnly: "Thank you——? They will definitely."

"Oh." Mary's expression softened, feeling that she had been completely poked by the little girl.

Mary Watson, wife of John Watson, former CIA agent.Due to an accident during the execution of the mission, her team fell into the enemy's trap, and only Mary herself survived by chance.Mary couldn't bear the sacrifices of her teammates, and soon chose to leave the secret service industry.

After retiring, Mary met and married her husband, John Watson.And because they have a famous detective friend named Sherlock Holmes, Mary's life is still "colorful" and "ups and downs" even after the secret service life is over... In short, very exciting.

She had just given birth to her darling daughter a few months ago, and gave her a (albeit Sherlock was texting the whole time and working remotely, but overall still) very sweet baptism.Jasmine is the godmother and Sherlock is the child's godfather.

…However, Mary learned from Sherlock some time ago that after the mission failed that year, her former spy teammate Ajie was also lucky to survive.But although he survived, he was caught and tortured by the enemy, and even mistakenly believed that Mary was the traitor who betrayed the whole team.

This false hatred made Ajie frantically hunt down Mary for revenge after escaping from the torture of the enemy.Don't even bother with other people's explanations.

In order not to hurt her family and friends, Mary embarked on a journey of escape.In order to avoid being deduced by Holmes and Ajie about the itinerary, she randomly decides the destination by dice and other methods, and keeps changing her identity.She has been disguised as: a sensitive and over-enthusiastic old lady, a dedicated flight attendant, a literary woman who travels around chasing dreams...

And the overbearing rich lady who is playing now.

In addition to her identity, Mary's stay at each foothold is also very short.If it wasn't for getting rid of the tail behind her as soon as possible, as a former CIA agent, she would not choose the flight to New York.After all, the more developed the area, the more difficult it is to disguise one's identity.

...and also easy to meet acquaintances.For example, she ran into a former CIA agent colleague, John Reaser, around a warehouse yesterday.

The opponent was aggressively harvesting the knees of the enemies.So Mary tried her best to leave the scene without alarming the other party.

And immediately came to Gotham City.

After all, Gotham is a particularly 'rich' city in every way.Mary thinks she can divert from here by Gotham Bay.

When the taxi stopped, Mary lazily handed the driver a stack of banknotes, and said to Selina, "Okay, sweetheart, we should go."

"Where are you going," she continued, "maybe we'll drop by."

This method of concealment is a bit like a magician's technique: use large movements to attract the attention of the audience, so that people don't notice the small movements that really make a difference.

Exaggerating actions and character traits, downplaying other traits, greatly reduces the likelihood of others noticing who [she] is.

Selinya: "..." The place she is most familiar with in the Diamond District is the Bingshan Restaurant.

But at this time, Jason is busy, so it may not be convenient for her to take Ms. Mary to the restaurant to play with penguins.

Mary raised her eyebrows and was about to speak—

But suddenly someone patted Celinya on the shoulder lightly, "Hey, hello!"

Selinya turned her head and saw an oriental woman looking at her in surprise, "It really is you! Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, it's just that your hair is so beautiful. I remember it deeply."

Celinya has a slight face blindness.After all, she spends far more time in contact with words than with people.After my mind got used to memorizing the arrangement and combination of those fonts, the appearance of facial features became a feature that was not very clear in memory.

But the moment she saw the woman, Selinya's eyes lit up immediately, and she recognized her, "I remember you, you worked in that Chinese restaurant in Gotham. And the small cakes presented by that Chinese restaurant are very delicious!"

Those two small cakes were given to her and Jason by Mr. Dick.

It was the first gift she received and the first dessert she ate after she came to this world.

...It was also the first kindness she had received in this world.

While speaking, Selinya glanced around, and saw a hundred meters behind the woman - a man in a black suit with slightly gray sideburns.

He is also the relevant target of the side quest [Robot Baby], with a clear name sign above his head: John Reaser.

"Small cake?" Hearing what Selinya said, the woman with the 'Sheryl' nameplate on her clothes was stunned, and asked blankly, "Excuse me, may I ask—what little cake?"

"A cake with 'gifts will be given when you purchase a certain amount of food'," Selinya, who was very impressed by this incident, reminded, "The slogan was written directly on the advertising stand at the door."

Selinya remembers everything that happened that day very clearly.Mr. Dick bought too many dishes and no one in the family likes sweets, so he gave her all the small cakes as a gift.He even looked very serious and troubled, and kept asking Selina to help him solve the two troubles.

But Shirley suddenly laughed, "...My dear, you must have misunderstood."

"The gifts we give are coupons and coupons for the next available dish," she explained, "and if we give dessert, it's probably 'orange chicken' or fortune cookies."

They are Chinese restaurants!

As the conversation between the two progressed, Shirley gradually remembered the scene of that day, and she added with a smile: "If you want to ask, the origin of those two small cakes... I probably remember it. It was the one with The young man you ordered with stuffed it into the bag himself, and I happened to recognize the brand from a very expensive dessert shop nearby."

Xue Lier couldn't help her rising smile, and emphasized: "He bought it specially for you. If you think about it carefully, he seems to have entered the store much later than you? He was probably buying cakes. "

Celinya: "... Ah."

This is an answer that Selina didn't expect.The little girl was dazed for a long time before she slowly squeezed out a nonsense tone.

so?Mr. Dick bought a cake specially for her, but it was inconvenient to give it to her personally, so he used the gift from the Chinese restaurant as an excuse?

God——

system:"……"

Grass, is this Dick Grayson?So good, so strong.

Mary blinked and smiled, "What a wonderful story."

It would be nice to have the opportunity to tell this story to Rosie.After all, the three people who appeared in this incident sound really cute. — this would definitely be a better bedtime story for kids than Anatomy.

"Thank you for telling me this—" Selinya replied dazedly, struggling to deal with the amount of information that was too complicated for her, "Thank you very much."

God, Mr. Dick, what a nice guy!He is too kind!

Sure enough, she was right about Mr. Dick!

Facing such a good human being, of course she should give "respect" and "understanding"!

This made Selina couldn't help but wonder how Jason and Mr. Dick met before.

Ummm, anyway, as long as Jason doesn't fall in love with Mr. Dick in women's clothing at first sight.Otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Shirley quickly waved her hand, "It's nothing! I just happen to remember that day."

Saying that, Shirley pointed to a western restaurant nearby, "I'm working part-time here, and I'm working on a second job. If you're interested, you can come to me anytime!"

It was about to be Shirley's working time, and after she greeted Selinya, she hurried into the western restaurant.

Selinya also took the opportunity to pay attention, and sure enough, after Shirley walked into the restaurant, Mr. [John Reaser] also sat down in the restaurant and took an order a moment later.

"A very wonderful morning, sweetheart," Mary patted Selina on the back. "Your life is just like yourself, full of cuteness."

She raised her wrist to look at her watch, "I also have a manicure appointment, so I have to see you next time, honey."

——Although in fact Mary is going to get some identification and get a ticket for a black ship sailing tonight at the latest.

Celinya also replied immediately: "See you next time."—and it shouldn't be too long.

Through the target positioning page provided by the system, Selinya can confirm the location of these target people in time.

...Frankly speaking, Selinya didn't find anything unusual in it.

Ms. Mary has stayed near the black market and Gotham Port for a long time, and she is also the one with the longest distance of movement.

After staying in the western restaurant for a while, Mr. Reese went to the coffee shop next door.Through the two huge glass windows, he watched the movement in the western restaurant.

After a huge and astonishing surge of data, the system finally answered Serinya's question: "I found it."

About——What is [Robot Baby].

It was a piece of code covering a very wide area, and it was also an artificial intelligence with its own thinking ability.

She is monitoring the country, screening the unsafe factors that appear in the country, and predicting the dangers that will occur with a large amount of information.And the social security number of the person involved—perhaps the perpetrator who created the danger, or the victim trapped by the danger—is notified to the user.

The system can only investigate here, so it doesn't know what the user notified by the 'machine' will do based on it.

"This is the first time you have explained to me the relevant information of side missions in detail." Celinya was even a little surprised.

After all, for all the side missions before, the system just threw out a statement that 'sounds full of tragedy' without any explanation, and then let Celinya play on her own.

System: "..." hello?Hello?Can't you recall more of my good points?

This is actually a system setup issue.

He can only be responsible for [publishing] the task to Selina.If the data flow does not carry mission-related information, it will be difficult for him to grasp the information related to the mission. He can't even cross the authority to forcibly investigate, or give relevant reminders to the host himself.

But this time it is the professional field of the system.The system is an intelligent AI from a high-dimensional field. Maybe he cannot touch higher-level affairs at present...but he can communicate with data.

The system tried to explain this to Selinya, but it was obvious... her attention was not on this issue right now.

[Relationship, relationship, person, member] Serinya thought about this definition carefully.

There are two targets related to this mission: Mr. Finch, who is disguised as a driver, and Mr. Reese, who is spying on Shirley.

——It is too obvious who the relevant personnel are.Shirley who is still under surveillance.

"But I don't understand." Selinya frowned, "Shiryl herself is not within the judgment range of the target person. She doesn't even have anything to do with the system illustrated book. She should just be an ordinary person?"

It's something Reese and Finch are discussing, too.

Finch: "Shirley's life experience is normal. The only dangerous bad experience recently was being pursued and entangled by a young man from a gangster."

He is the creator of the 'machine' and the recipient of criminal information obtained through the 'machine'.He uses those social security numbers to prevent dangerous incidents.Subdue the perpetrator and rescue the victim.

Oh of course, he's also... rich.

After all, every team should have a rich man.For example, Zhenglian, such as Fulian.

Reese, a former CIA agent, Mary's former colleague, the task performer hired by Finch, "is she a victim?"

This time, it should be a conclusion without reversal.

Selinya and the icons on the map stayed peacefully until the afternoon.

Winter nights are long and sunsets are early.The western restaurant also closed its business before the dark night. ——After all, this is Gotham, even in the Diamond District, not all the shops dare to open until late at night.

Looking at the signs that started to move on the map, Selinya wrapped her coat and followed.

Mary is on her way to Gotham Bay.Reise, who followed Shirley to protect her, also had the same direction.

"Xiryl!" Serenya trotted to catch up with her, "Good evening."

"Oh!" Shirley looked at the girl running towards her in surprise, "Good evening, I didn't expect our 'next time' to meet so soon."

She thoughtfully tidied up the hood that almost flew away for Selinya, and warned: "It is not a good habit to stay outside too late."

Serenya, who often didn’t go home until late at night, happily ‘sold’ money until 12:30 last night: “…Well, you’re right.”

"But you too?"

"I've been used to it for a long time!" Shirley replied nonchalantly, "It will be fine. Where are you going? It will be safer if the two of you go together."

Selinya nodded immediately: "Okay."

Reese & Finch whose plans were disrupted: "..."

It's really cold at night in Gotham City.It seemed that even the wind was howling and roaring fiercely at the world.

Maybe it was the experience of working in a restaurant. Shirley talked a lot, and she talked about today's daily life to Selinya.

"..." Her footsteps paused, she didn't dare to look back, she grabbed Selinya's sleeve and lowered her voice, "Did you hear the footsteps behind?"

"Ah." With the blessing of the cat demon card, Selinya can locate the enemy within one kilometer, and she has already noticed the group of people behind, "Yes."

Just as Xue Lier was about to grab Selinya and speed up her pace together, she heard a knocking sound coming from the front.

"Good evening," the little gangster standing under the streetlight ahead said to Shirley with a smile, "Long time no see."

"Oh—this time," he looked up and down at Selinya, who was blocked by Shirley, "and brought a companion?"

"Don't hide it, let's see, is she as cute as you?"

Xue Lier secretly regretted that she took the little girl along with her just now.

Not long ago, she rejected this guy's 'pursuit' many times... Bah, what kind of pursuit is obviously harassment!

This guy brought so many people to surround him, what purpose would he have, he didn't even need to guess!

"you--"

Before she could speak, she felt that she was holding the girl's hand empty.

The little girl was already standing in front of her, and she pressed the hood down, "What did you say?"

The little bastard bent down to see Selina's face, "I said, let me see—"

Two extremely fast metal cracks interrupted his voice.

A crowbar that came from Riise slammed through it - using local materials to break off the weapons in other people's hands.

Another sound came from Mary who was preparing to go to Gotham Port.

"..." The two CIA agents looked at each other. The two, who had received the same training and had done many tasks together, recognized each other with a little embarrassment.

But of course it was impossible to say hello.

Who knows which name the other party is using now.

But Celinya's speed did not lose to them.

Under the effect of the card's 'acceleration' skill, Selinya's speed was as fast as a cat falling to the ground, and she reached in front of the man in an instant.

[Concealment of whereabouts] [Night vision ability] - Even without the addition of attack cards, these are enough to deal with this group of guys.

The piercing sound of broken bones resounded in the darkness.But there is no unnecessary screaming from beginning to end.

"Is this your job?" The moment they passed by, Selinya looked up at Riise, "Protect ordinary people?"

During the relationship just now, she has confirmed once again: Shirley is really just an ordinary person.

Riise: "..."

When he first took this job, Riise also felt very uncomfortable.

After all—when he was a CIA agent, he would handle too many lives in every mission, and even go to save the world.

And there are also superheroes who are constantly saving and guarding the world.The responsibility to defend the whole world rests with them.

So compared with such a heavy and heavy responsibility, what they are doing now: saving one life at a time through social security numbers seems like a very meaningless thing.

But Riise soon discovered that saving even one life, the life of an ordinary person, was enough.

The rescued person may be the child of a police officer, or an ordinary teacher...

Just like the story about picking up small fish.

After low tide, children throw small fish trapped on the beach back into the sea to prevent them from drying out and dying of thirst.

Passers-by wanted to stop him, "What's the use of this? Who would care about the life of a small fish?"

But the child still insisted on throwing fish into the sea, and said: "Look, this one cares, this one also cares..."

"Just one correct life is enough."

Selinya twisted the weapon in the enemy's hand and easily snatched it away. Suddenly she couldn't help laughing, and whispered, "I really like his style."

The red hood who just arrived: "...?"
