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

【Five years later】

If someone who is not familiar with Gotham is asked to look at the current Gotham, he will definitely say that it is still the same after all these years:

In a month, there are always so many cloudy skies for more than 2.5 years, which will always make people worry about whether Gotham will reproduce the "London tragedy" PM[-] index again, occupying the last place in the list of security conditions in the United States all the year round. Criminals emerge in endlessly and in various ways, and then they will be caught in Arkham by more vigilantes who spring up like mushrooms after rain.

But if you ask anyone who has lived in Gotham for many years, they will definitely give a very different answer:

Ever since Poison Ivy, no, to be honest, not many people remember this name anymore...

Since Pamela Eisley has made great progress in the scientific research topic of "seaweed decomposes oil", she has brought this result back to Gotham, so that this person who nurtured her, hurt her, and finally accommodated her The city has become the first beneficiary point.

The environment of Gotham is not very good, but over the years, both the green area and the pollution have greatly improved. Just last week, Gotham even had three consecutive days of sunny days!

The security situation in Arkham Asylum has also greatly improved.In the past, all the criminals that Batman stuffed into this place were imprisoned. In order to prevent them from escaping, they had to stuff all kinds of expenses into it every year like filling a bottomless pit.

But since a certain girl with the super power of "digging a hole and planting you in it, as long as she doesn't fill the hole, you will never come out" has strengthened the guards of Arkham with the acquiescence of the bats, " In the eyes of the citizens of Gotham, the matter of "entering Arkham" is no longer the same as "I will definitely escape one day."But "the scope of activities in this life is only as big as a pit, it can't be more pitiful."

Of course, the clown was the first to be stuffed into this pit.

In order to show respect for this girl who has made outstanding contributions, the citizens of Gotham, who no one has seen her in person, even after she has been disguised, have given full play to their imagination and creativity, Created a title for her;

Groundhog...

It's fine, there's nothing wrong with it.

The most obvious improvement is in law and order.In addition to the gang of lunatics in Arkham who have been locked up tightly, the underground world of Gotham, which was a mess before and where all kinds of messy businesses were done, was also cleaned up once.

Two-pronged approach, many improvements, after five full years of transformation, Gotham, where no one dared to walk outside at night, has slowly begun to have a bustling night world.

The previously smashed street lamps that could not be illuminated have been repaired, and the road conditions have improved. The scenes of vigilantes and villains flying around chasing and fighting have been greatly reduced.

Apart from the fact that there will be a very few people who don't know how to live or die to provoke, this place is completely different from Gotham five years ago.

The students of Gotham University have already finished their evening self-study, and many of them are going back together or alone, so there is no need to worry about personal safety issues like before.

The air in July is filled with the freshly cut green grass fragrance and slightly astringent breath. Young people talk in twos and threes in low voices. Under the bright street lights, long shadows are entangled together. This scene is at the same time as the night next door. NYU has been no different.

When two boys were pushing their bicycles to go out, a sharp-eyed boy suddenly turned his companion's waist as if he had discovered some new world, and then screamed on the spot: "Why are you stabbing my kidney?" Ah bro?"

However, the culprit himself was not conscious at all. He just desperately said to his companions: "Look, look! Hetty Brown from the Department of Natural Science next door!"

As soon as these words came out, the boy who had just been slammed by the elbow no longer cared about screaming for pain, and both of them turned their eyes to the poplar tree not far away, and there really was a black-haired girl standing there.

Although her figure is not as tall and slender as the models, she can still be described as well-proportioned and slim.

The slightly curly long black hair is tied into a simple high ponytail, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with no prescription are placed on the bridge of the nose, but they can't hide the excessively bright and moving light in the pair of blue-green eyes.

Perhaps it was because of waiting for too long, her rosy lips were slightly pursed...but it looked even more beautiful.

The light gray long skirt and white shirt on her body are neat and clean, and the pair of high-heeled shoes on her feet are at least eight centimeters in height, which makes her height to at least 1.7 meters five, which can be called a sentence from head to toe Impeccable.

After adding these factors together, Ben gave her a unique temperament of gentleness and alienation, not to mention her achievements in scientific research that people can only look up to:

She is just a master's student who has not yet graduated, and she has already published a thesis signed by herself.Moreover, the laboratory to which Pamela Eisley belonged also cast an olive branch on her!

As if noticing the gaze of the two, the young black-haired girl pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, turned her eyes over, smiled at them, and said hello.

Immediately, regardless of whether the two people returned the gift or not, they just looked away, and still stood there quietly, not knowing who they were waiting for.

The two looked at each other, and they also saw a lot of eagerness in each other's expressions, so they wanted to go up and talk to each other:

That's a man of the day in the Department of Natural Sciences!Even if you can say a word, it will be enough to show off to others another day!

As a result, before the two of them could take their steps, they heard a sharp sound of brakes coming from a distance behind——

A man on a motorcycle flew past them, almost knocking them down together.

However, the rider's skills were too high, and nothing happened in the end, but it also frightened the two people:

They swear that the sound of the friction between the tires and the concrete floor has never been so harsh that they have heard in their life, not to mention the deafening roar of the specially modified engine!

How could anyone be racing on such a road?What if you can't stop?

Then the two of them stared dumbfounded at this person flicking his tail, and stopped with incomparable precision about two meters in front of Heidi Brown.

Her long skirt and black hair were only slightly affected by the hot wind, and there was no change in her appearance.

However, that gentle and alienated temperament disappeared under her smiling face like spring snow: "Why did you come here?"

The motorcycle rider took off his helmet, and it turned out to be Jason Todd.He raised his eyebrows at Heidi, and said with a smile: "If I don't come later, you might be lazy."

In order to let Hetty, who stays at home writing manuscripts every day besides attending classes and doing experiments, have a healthier way of life, the two decided to win a game by playing poker, and whoever loses has to go out to buy drinks .

However, Hetty didn't have the habit of counting cards, and had never won once. Tonight, she came to the cafe on campus from the rented room only 10 minutes away from Gotham University.

However, Hetty, who has rich experience in dragging manuscripts but can always get stuck in handing in manuscripts, has a lot of experience in laziness. She used to take a taxi out and back again, which did not achieve the effect of exercise at all.

There was no way, Jason could only go out with her or come back with her, so that she would not be lazy by taking a taxi again.

After he parked the motorcycle in the designated area, Hetty handed Jason a glass full of freshly squeezed juice quite naturally: "I even asked the clerk to write your name on the glass, are you touched?"

Jason: ...very touched, so why did you ask the clerk to write the red bucket.

He had a premonition that since Hetty had seen his hood and mistook it for a motorcycle helmet, this nickname might have followed him until the moment he revealed his true identity in the future.

The two walked away from here while chatting, leaving the two boys stunned and staring at each other. After a long while, they realized: "Have you heard of Hetty? Brown has a boyfriend?"

"No, no. That person may also be her brother, right? Their hair and eye color are so similar!"

"maybe……"

"If I were you, I wouldn't think so." Pamela passed behind them with a slice of bread in her mouth, her voice was very weak because she had just finished a big experiment, and she was probably tired, but Such a ghostly voice made her words more scary and convincing:

"The little girl already has a master."

"If I were you, I wouldn't try to take food from the tiger's mouth."
