[Zhongyingmei] If you don't dig a hole, you will die

During these few months of living in Gotham, Hetty didn't learn anything else. Gotham people have learned a lot about the big heart and the spirit of "as long as the sky doesn't fall down, I can be optimistic to the end." few.But it also made her ability to observe the surrounding environment to a higher level.

The proof is that if Hetty had been in the past, he would have noticed Cecilia's complexion at best.

But now she could catch a glimpse of Cecilia's hands out of the corner of her eye.

The blond girl clenched her hands tightly into fists, her knuckles were clearly defined by clenching her fists too hard, and there were obviously blue-blue veins protruding from the pale skin. A comparison of the two colors Under the circumstances, this scene became even more frightening.

It is like the last depression and silence before the violent storm that is about to overthrow.

Hetty looked at her hands, and was really afraid that she would accidentally break herself into a broken bone, so she hurriedly asked, "Are you okay, Cecilia?"

——As soon as the name "Cecilia" came out, Cecilia, who was on the verge of losing her composure just now, miraculously calmed down.

It just so happened that the chattering girls finally ended their gossip at the door, and began to walk into the classroom to find a seat. It happened that Cecilia hadn't left the seat next to Hetty, and they watched her one is right.

The girls looked at each other in surprise, and smiled at Cecilia: "Are you going to be a good student in the front row with Brown?"

Only then did Cecilia let out a long breath, and explained to Heidi: "I was not with my boyfriend last night, so I came back to do an experiment. This is my experiment record report. What, is there a problem? "

Hetty shook her head: "No, I just asked casually..."

However, Cecilia didn't give Hetty a chance to finish speaking, and left straight away, walking to the back row of the classroom.

As soon as she took a seat in the back row, she threw the coat she carried on the table, then closed her eyes without saying a word, threw herself on the small pillow made of her clothes and began to catch up on sleep.

Seeing that the person who was supposed to be the center of this small group is not in good spirits today, and seems to have no intention of discussing gossip and fashion news with them, the group of girls who are still looking for seats glanced at each other , finally someone came back, sat next to Hetty, and smiled at her: "The weather is really nice today, isn't it, Brown?"

Hetty looked at the gloomy weather outside, which could almost drip water, and struggled a lot in her heart, and finally gave up with regret. this option.

After all, the system is screaming earth-shatteringly in her mind, and it comes with a set of emoticons "I advise you to be cautious in your words and deeds" mental pollution attack.

As a result, Hetty could only calm down and choose the most pertinent answer: "Well..."

Hetty thought that her answer had perfectly conveyed her meaning of "I'm actually very shy, please don't interact with me anymore", but it didn't, after all, there was her beauty bonus there.

The advantage of being born with such an innocent, gentle and sweet face is that it is so cool, as long as she doesn't do anything super embarrassing that destroys her image on purpose, then no matter what she says or does, it will be in the eyes of outsiders. They all come with some kind of softening and beautifying aura.

Just like right now, Hetty is like this in the eyes of the girl sitting next to her:

The little girl who obviously didn't fit in with the city of Gotham, and who had helped them before, sat obediently on the seat with her schoolbag in her arms, her clear blue-green eyes blinking, and her long eyelashes were slightly curled up. The radian of her eyes made her eyes more clear and charming, especially like that kind of expensive and delicate dolls.

And unlike most of the people in this class right now, this little girl from outside is obviously well-educated.Even if it's just in everyday conversations, look at each other seriously.

It's just that the only fly in the ointment is that there are few words.

However, this is not a problem at all.

After all, with such good looks and a serious and well-cultivated demeanor, no one would think that the problem of "less talking" comes from the girl in front of her rejecting outsiders, so she would subconsciously take the blame own body.

Just like this girl, while looking at her more and more, she feels that Hetty is very cute like that kind of domestic short-legged cat, and at the same time, she is also wondering why Hetty has so few words:

Was it because she was frightened by her sudden closeness?Or is it the first time that a little girl who has always gone to and from class alone, and who is studying in a different place feels the enthusiasm of her classmates here for the first time, and is completely stiff under the excessive surprise and tension?

This girl likes Heidi the more she looks at her, and she doesn't know how many layers of completely selfish filters have been added to Heidi in her heart, and she completely gives Heidi, who "there is no superfluous expression on the surface, but in fact, the vomit in her heart is already turbulent and magnificent". A "shy and introverted super cute" person was set up abruptly.

This is a typical example of people not just looking at the surface.

However, Hetty, who has been inexplicably given the image of a "shy little cutie", knows nothing about it.

He even frantically interacted with the system in his mind and asked for communication: "System, did you say that the tone of my words just now was too strong?"

The digging but not filling system is well aware of the lethality of Hetty's appearance, so he took out the most common attitude of straight men in science and engineering when facing inquiries from his girlfriend: "Well, maybe."

"That would be terrible." Hetty sighed worriedly in her mind and thought: "What if I scare her? This is a rare young lady in science and engineering! But I am also really nervous. You How about saying that I hurried to add a few words now, "I don't hate you for being so quiet, but I'm not used to it"? "

System: "Well, everything is fine."

Hetty: "I'm afraid that if something happens, it will be really difficult to make her think that I really hate her and make fun of her... System? I always feel that you installed some kind of automatic reply Use the voice pack to deal with me! Please, at least make a sound to prove that you are still listening to me!"

System: "Okay, no problem. Wang."

Hetty: ...This is really a scene where a large system and the host are cut off from each other!

But the day passed without incident.Even at the end of the last big class in the afternoon, every girl in the class—

Except for Cecilia, who is still sleeping in the back row, who has a faint posture of sleeping from the laboratory in the morning to the classroom in the afternoon, and then continuing to sleep until the evening self-study before leaving——all came here kindly He patted Hetty's head: "See you tomorrow, Brown."

Although Hetty didn't know why the attitudes of the female students suddenly became warmer.But they still greeted each of them seriously: "See you tomorrow."

Then on the way home, Hetty, who usually joked with the system, was unusually silent today. It was the system who finally broke the stiff atmosphere. It asked cautiously: "Little Hetty, what are you thinking? Feeling this You've been out of spirit all day."

After Hetty got off the subway, she walked home along the fixed daily route. She had walked this route countless times, and she could feel it back even with her eyes closed: "I was thinking..."

"If Pamela hadn't experienced these things, she should be a very good botanist by now?"

Although the system didn't quite understand why Hetty suddenly mentioned Poison Ivy, it still answered her question seriously: "Accordingly, yes."

"Judging from her grades in those years when she was still studying at Gotham University, if nothing else happened, she could have actually become the youngest female academician of botany in the history of the National Academy of Sciences.

Not to mention such an achievement in Gotham, a chaotic city full of crime and darkness.Even if it is placed in any place, it is a major event worth commemorating... But where are there so many "ifs" in the world? "

Hetty was already lost in thought, so naturally she didn't notice that at the end of the road she knew so well, there was a big black unknown object unexpectedly!

As we all know, Gotham is the city with the highest crime rate in the United States.And its urban infrastructure is indeed worthy of the title of "Crime Capital": Except for some buildings specially invested by major families, there are many buildings that have become more and more mottled after the baptism of wind and rain;

Except for some main roads, no matter whether you have a cement floor or an asphalt floor, there must be a few dilapidated holes;

The streetlights on the non-main roads will be broken every three to five times. What's more, the whole road is dark. It is not a bold guy or a lunatic from Yigao, no one dares to go there.

This is Gotham, after all, and God knows what's going to pop out of the shadows and send someone to God in a second.

To be on the safe side, it's better not to take the trail at random. This is common sense that every Gotham native knows.

The system of digging holes and not filling them noticed the abnormality at the end of the road.But its functions are really lacking. Apart from making Heidi invisible while writing, there is no other function;

Even if it wanted to remind, it could only scream in Hetty's mind at the highest decibel it could:

"Little Hetty! Look up the road!"

Who knows that at the moment when Arkham's criminals escape collectively again, every corner of Gotham is filled with darkness and chaos, what will there be in such a place where the lights can't shine;

To put it a little more terrifyingly, the ghost knows if this thing is human!

Fortunately, the system's cry was still very powerful. Hetty, who had been immersed in her own thoughts and didn't pay too much attention to the surrounding environment, raised her head in a hurry, but when she stopped, she was already with The distance of that group of unknown objects was quite close, to the point where it was even possible to see clearly what it was.

However, none of the messy things that the dig and don't fill system expected appeared.

Even when the true face of this thing was exposed in front of Hetty's eyes, even the digging and not filling system became a bit embarrassing:

This is a couple of young men and women kissing passionately.

Because the two hugged each other so tightly, it looked as if they were stuck together, and it was really hard to tell that they were two people just from the distant silhouette;

And the lighting environment here is relatively poor. A few days ago, because of the disturbance of the clown and Harley Quinn, the street lamps that were smashed were not fully repaired in time.

Especially since the end of the road has no light at all.Such misunderstandings are due to various chances and coincidences.

In other cities, this is actually not a problem at all.After all, men and women in love, which one has not had such a romantic idea of ​​"kissing goodbye with the one you love in the dim light"?

However, if this scene happened in Gotham.Both the atmosphere value and the degree of danger will undergo fundamental changes:

The first is the "dim lights". I'm sorry, the lights on most of Gotham's roads are dim, and there are still a considerable amount of completely dark streets in the remaining small parts. The atmosphere that can be called "romantic" is not romantic at all in Gotham, but it is a sign of danger;

Secondly, if the street lights are all on, it means that the night has arrived. If you are in Gotham at night, instead of going home and staying at home, you will stay outside for a long time. It's not worth the risk of losing your life;

Finally, there are still an unknown number of criminals in Arkham running around the city, which makes an already dangerous situation even more unpredictable.

But if there are really people who can do this, if there are really people who are willing to take such a big risk and embrace each other in this dark night, who can say that it is their fault?

The sweetest and bitterest people in the world are all lovers who are difficult to accompany day and night.

Hetty saw sharply that there was a bunch of flowers scattered under the couple's feet, probably a gift from one of them to the other.

However, when the atmosphere between the two became heated because of this overly long kiss, who can concentrate on the beautiful time with their lover, and take care of a bunch of flowers lying between them Woolen cloth?

It was a bouquet of red roses.Under the exquisite translucent cellophane packaging, the already warm and romantic roses are even more beautiful.Even if they are scattered on the ground like this, there is still a pretty and moving feeling.

Seeing that Hetty, who had talked very little today and didn't even want to complain with her, became more and more silent after seeing the couple kissing. Then he hurriedly comforted Hetty: "Little Hetty doesn't need to envy them, just be strong and maintain the dignity of being a single dog—"

Hetty: "I don't really care about that."

Digging holes and not filling the system: "Then why were you so stiff just now?"

After Hetty was silent for three seconds, she asked a certain question that had been lingering in her heart since she saw the red roses scattered on the ground:

"I was wondering why men and women in love must give each other plant reproductive organs to show their love."

Because her question has existed for a long time, and she has always been very puzzled.So this sentence is not communicated with the system in the mind, but unconsciously said from the mouth.

As a result, as soon as she finished speaking, the disturbed couple had not had time to separate when a young woman's laughter came from the roof by the side of the road.And it was obvious that he couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud: "Pfft..."

The author has something to say:

The second hypothesis: Poison Ivy is still insane and has no time to kill.
