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

Hetty flipped through the chat history, and found that there was nothing serious, and was about to turn off the computer and start to catch up on sleep, when she saw her mobile phone push a message to her:

There's Comic Con next weekend at the Met next door.

Without even thinking about it, Hetty bounced and forwarded this message to her group chat——

It's not that she wants to pretend to be tender and cute on purpose, it's because if she doesn't jump up and down, she really can't press her laptop keyboard that is already dying and is about to fail:

"There will be a superhero-themed comic exhibition in Metropolis next Sunday, does anyone want to go? We can have a face-to-face meeting on the spot and exchange materials—"

I thought there would definitely be a lot of people coming. Even if no one came, they would express their expectations for this comic exhibition anyway. As a result, this message was just sent from Hetty's men, and the group chat that was originally lively It was quiet for 1 minute.

In this suffocating 1-minute silence, let alone no one spoke, no one even posted a punctuation mark or an emoji.

Hetty herself didn't say a word, because she had sent this message before she realized what she had become now, and she didn't know if she would be able to return to her original state next week.

But it's understandable that she didn't speak, why are all these guys starting to pretend to be deaf and dumb?

So curious, she decided to ask more questions in the group chat.

Ace pigeon with super backbone: "Is there really no one going? I was really looking forward to seeing you..."

Comes with red exhaust: "I have something."

Dancing with Bears: "Our bald boss made us work weekends."

Has now joined the luxury family bucket package: "I want to make up lessons."

TwinkleTwinkle: "Ditto."

Hetty glanced roughly, and found that almost everyone had something to deal with this weekend, and all of them had legitimate reasons. The only one who was free was ROJO, who seldom talked.

But she wasn't very familiar with this guy, at least not as familiar as the other girls in the group, so she didn't bother to ask, and once again expressed her regret that she couldn't meet them, she turned off her phone and went to sleep.

When she was offline, I don’t know how many places—including but not limited to Xavier Academy, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Building and the Outlaw Base—

Then everyone let out a sigh of relief at the same time, thinking, thank God, this girl didn't continue to ask.

Otherwise, they really don't know how to deal with this situation, it doesn't matter whether they go or not:

Don't go, that will disappoint the little girl, after all, we have been chatting for so long;

Go ahead, that scene will definitely be extremely embarrassing, no one would have imagined that these people who are happily posting on the forum to watch their fans are the superheroes.

For fan writers, what could be more embarrassing than being caught by the master himself?No more!

After Hetty turned off the phone, she found that Jason had been standing not far from her and looking at her, hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something to her.

Her heart immediately "thumped", and the feeling of guilt that fanciers felt when facing the deity reappeared, so frightened that she began to frantically beat the system in her mind: "System system, do you think he is What did you find again?"

The system was silent for a while, and then asked a question from the soul: "But the problem is, didn't he find out that you were writing about his colleagues?"

Hetty: "It's not because I'm afraid that he will discover something else. According to the frequency with which we can see each other every day, no matter what he discovers, I won't be surprised."

The system thought for a while, and said calmly and steadily: "Since this is the case, it doesn't hurt if he finds out something else. Anyway, it's just the difference between early death and late death. Little Heidi, calm down, and look away."

Hetty: "Shut up! Stop talking!"

Fortunately, at this critical juncture, Jason said: "Isn't it very convenient for you to be in this state now? There is still a vacant house behind my laundry shop. Do you want to move here for a while? I can still take care of you."

The system of digging holes and not filling them: the direction of a normal girl's love story is to confess at this time!If it’s really not possible, it’s fine to say something nice to make the atmosphere, why did you go astray on such a realistic moving issue without any violation?

It can be seen that one plus one is sometimes greater than two.When two steels are mixed together, the resulting straight aura will be harder than Wakanda's vibration gold.

Hetty thought about it seriously, and finally declined Jason's proposal: "No, thank you, I'll just stay at home."

After all, everyone in the Bat family is a genius, with excellent observation and speculation skills.

If she really moved to Jason's place and got along day and night, according to how often she complained to the system in her head every day, she might reveal her secrets at some point.

However, Jason and her thought of something completely different.He still didn't know that his secret identity was no longer a secret in the eyes of the little girl in front of him, and he even felt that Hetty's refusal was a perfectly normal thing:

After all, not everyone unconditionally trusts someone they are not particularly familiar with at such a critical moment.

No matter how familiar they are, no matter how much they gag and go in and out together, they probably won't be able to entrust all their wealth and life to a Gotham man at such a critical time, right?

"Then I'll go first." Jason nodded slightly to Hetty, then got up and left; and Hetty, who had always been so slow that the system once felt that even if the sky fell, this girl would not be enlightened in terms of feelings, Dian Guang Huo Shi suddenly thought of something, and stopped Jason who was about to walk out the door: "It's not that I don't trust you..."

She sighed, even though Hetty had become smaller, the sound was not much louder than the buzzing cicadas outside the window.

But when she listened intently, her voice was still gentle but firm enough to make it difficult to refute:

"I'm worried about you."

"I know you are a good person, but you don't have to fight against such vicious people for me."

This feeling, this scene, these words, these words are really amazing:

If you put it in someone else's words, it will either have the meaning of refusal or welcome, half-push and half-acceptance.

After all, this kind of weak words are the most likely to arouse men's desire to protect. If they are more pitiful and have ulterior motives, they are simply green tea;

Either rounding it up is equivalent to a confession, how is this different from the plots in TV dramas and novels like "I'm worried about you so you don't come to save me", there is nothing at all——

However, the girl Hetty Brown, relying on her strength of being single for many years, said this sentence with the spirit of protecting the weak and especially loyal brothers. There is no room for people to think wrong, but Feel her sincerity.

In fact, this is not a problem at all, but the key depends on who she is talking to.

Especially considering that the person standing in front of Hetty, although he looks like a laundromat owner, is actually the Red Hood, the catastrophe that frightens Gotham's underground world. This is even more subtle.

Even Jason, who thought he had seen the big scene, was stunned by Hetty's words for almost five seconds before he came back to his senses with a complicated heart——

He has no time to care about the laughter and sympathetic voices from the wireless built-in earphones from his brothers who are almost imagining images in front of him: it's over, he doesn't know what to say.

Hetty and Jason, one big and one small, looked at each other, and the silence in the air could almost drip water. After a long while, Hetty urged him: "Remember to close the door when you leave."

Only then did Jason leave in three steps at a time as if he had received an amnesty, thinking that maybe he shouldn't go out today, or else he wouldn't end up doing nothing well.

So the Red Hood decided to give himself a day off justifiably.

But then he still couldn't hold back, and after guessing that Hetty was fast asleep, he turned around again, wanting to take another look at his little girl.He really didn't think about anything else, he took a look at it when he was thinking about it, and left after reading it.

After all, Hetty has become so small now, and according to her overly gentle and trusting temperament, the danger of living in Gotham will be doubled immediately;

Although the clown himself failed to come out of Arkham, he installed a lot of security measures around Hetty's house.But in the end, there is still a little bit of worry.

Jason regretted like never before that he hadn't been able to find an identity that could successfully contact Hetty.

But if you want to think about it, if you regret it, you will regret it, his movements are not slow at all.Although Red Hood doesn't have the habit of being timid and hiding his whereabouts no matter what he does on weekdays, it doesn't mean he won't.

As long as he wants to do it, he can successfully avoid the eyes and ears of many people.What's more, what about a little girl who is just an ordinary person?

It had been such a joy when he left Hetty's house, and now he came back again with the same swiftness and conviction.It was as if the guy who fled just now had nothing to do with him.

Hetty had fallen asleep in a drawer she had packed out during the day, still wearing a nightgown from a closet kindly provided by Stephanie—

God knows why this nightgown also has an extremely appropriate pattern of fluttering doves——

There was a soft silk scarf covering her body, and after she fell asleep, she wished she could curl up and bury herself in her normal-sized clothes, which made her look particularly insecure.

He just looked at his little girl so silently and from a distance, and felt a long-lost 12-point peace in his heart. By the way, he silently put the plan of "quickly finding Heidi back to normal" on the agenda.

On the other hand, after receiving the report from Natasha, S.H.I.E.L.D. also began to work overtime to study how to make the little girl who signed an agreement with them return to her original state as soon as possible.

If she could return to normal as soon as possible, she might be able to take advantage of the trend to gain a wave of favorability.Then let the poaching operation planned by the Black Widows go smoothly.

However, whether it is the Bat family in Gotham or the S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau in New York, the conclusions drawn after a long period of hard research are surprisingly consistent:

It's not difficult to change Hetty back. Scarecrow's poisonous gas has never been something that can't be cured. There is only one problem that is more embarrassing——

In the process of "growing from small to large", she must maintain the appearance of a little girl for at least 24 hours.

Because if it changes back suddenly, it may have an uncontrollable and unknown impact on my health, and it is safer to grow back a little bit.

Who was to take care of her during the period when she had to be absent from all normal social activities because of her physical condition?
