[Zhongyingmei] Can drawing cards save the world?

Elaine didn't expect that Peter could still pick up Damian on the main road.

At least she didn't think she could just pick up a son from the richest family just by taking a walk.

And Damian's mood seemed to have calmed down, but one cheek was still hot.

Elaine got out of the taxi and asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Why are you here? I have to call Bruce—"

Damian crossed his chest and looked disdainful, "If you dare to call him, I swear I will kill you."

Elaine sighed and put down the phone.

She turned and thanked Peter, "Thank you for waiting here, he didn't hurt you, did he?"

Peter's eyebrows hidden under the mask raised, "Me? How could my imposing Spider-Man be hurt by him?"

"Oh?" Damian got excited, and he took out a dagger out of nowhere, and made a gesture of preparation, "Why don't you make gestures?"

"Don't—" Peter refused, "I don't fight with children."

"Hmph! You dare not!" Damian obviously forgot that his embarrassment just now was clearly seen by this person.

"Stop for a while." Elaine persuaded, "Let's talk when we go back? Don't you think the wind is too strong?"

Damian put away the dagger reluctantly.

Peter, on the other hand, said that he would go for a walk to see if anyone needed help.

Although Damian doesn't want Elaine to take her home, it doesn't mean Elaine can't send a message to Bruce to say he's safe.

[Elaine: Damian is here with me, everything is safe, he doesn't want to go home] Bruce looked at the message and passed it on to the anxious Ah Fu.

"Miss Hope is a lifesaver, sir," said Alfred.

[Bruce: Good. 】

Damian arrived at Elaine's apartment, just entered the door, looked around like an old man, pursed his mouth, "I thought you and I—" The word was a bit awkward, and he didn't want to say it.

"As rich as your father?" Elaine came out, "I'm just an ordinary person, your father is so rich that he won't be able to earn it in a few lifetimes."

She went to the kitchen to get a bottle of drink, opened the can and handed it to Damian, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Why should I tell you?" He took a sip of the iced soda and put it on his cheek.

"Did he hit you?" Elaine asked.

Damian acquiesced, only a little absentmindedly.

Elaine didn't know what it was that would make Bruce, who had always been restrained, hit someone, but it was probably a very serious matter.

"You can tell me, I won't tell your dad." Elaine went to the refrigerator to get a bag of iced mung beans and handed it to him.

Damian put down the warm soda can and wrapped it with mung beans.

No matter how mature he is, he is still a 7-year-old child.

"You really won't tell?" he asked.

Elaine promises: "No."

"I just don't understand one thing," he said hesitantly.

"You said, why didn't he kill those people?"

When Elaine heard this, she suddenly realized.

It's the bottom line.

This creed that belongs to Batman is different from what Damian has been exposed to since he was a child. The collision of values ​​makes Damian unable to understand.

"Maybe, I can't answer this question very well." Elaine said, "But I seem to be able to understand a little bit."

"But, I still think you have to ask Bruce specifically about this. Only when he tells you in person, maybe you can understand his approach."

"But having said that, I also want to ask you." Elaine said softly, "Who do you think can sentence someone to death?"

"I don't know—Judge?" Damian wondered.

"uh-huh."

"But Jason said Gotham doesn't have the death penalty."

"Maybe not now." Elaine shrugged, "But if a person kills if he wants to, what is this person?"

"My mother said we should fight back with fire. If that person is bad, why can't I kill him?" Damian still couldn't understand.

But he seemed to understand something, just not fully.

"I think no matter what, don't be too impulsive." Elaine comforted him, "I also believe that Bruce didn't do it on purpose, so think about it slowly and have a good talk with him."

Damian was silent.

The scorching heat on his cheeks was no longer felt, but the ice mung beans in his hand began to drip.

He gave it back to Elaine.

"Although you are a nice person, it doesn't mean you can be my stepmother." He suddenly thought of something and said.

Elaine laughed, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

She's just a visitor, that's all.

But Damian clearly doesn't believe her promise, and his eyes, exactly the same as Bruce's, fixate on Elaine as if to see right through her.

Elaine was not afraid of his eyes, but changed him a bag of mung beans.

"Are you hungry? I still have some meals from Ah Fu." She went to the refrigerator, took out the packing box, and prepared to heat it in the microwave.

Damian didn't speak, but looked at the packing box.

Elaine shrugged and put the food in the microwave on her own.

She felt that the feelings of the Bat family were really in the same strain.

But why not yourself?

Louis walked all the way from home to the Daily Planet. She held the newly issued newspaper, studied the headlines, and noticed the bad news for Gotham.

Arkham Asylum's defenses were broken again, and countless prisoners escaped and disappeared.

She decided to put it away and wait for Clark to see it.

The blue sky in the metropolis is always so beautiful, and the sun shines on people's bodies warmly, which makes people feel happy.Louis just took two steps and passed the trash can. She just felt that the smell of the trash can was really bad today, so she couldn't help covering her nose and walking away quickly.

Elaine, who sent Damian away, is still receiving Steve's training, and her muscles are no longer so sore, and she is gradually adapting to this intensity.

However, today, after such a long time in front of her, the system seemed to suddenly remember her, and issued a new task for her.

[New mission: Investigate the Roxy case]

[Reward: Draw 1 times]

【Auxiliary turntable is being turned on for you】

Elaine turned around casually.

【You have drawn: Auxiliary characters】

【Randomizing characters for you】

[What you drew is——]

【Louis Lane】

[System Message: Forever Reporter Man]

Always just right.

So weird.

The characters are always so reasonable, they don't seem to be random at all.

Elaine hurried to find out what the Roxie case was, and finally saw related cases on the recent news: Baltimore's Roxie Moore was missing for ten days and his body was found five kilometers away from his home.

The body was impaled by a tree branch and hung from a tree trunk, and the forensic examination found that the deceased was missing her heart.

Reporting Reporter: Louis Lane

Not random.

[Warning, do not question the system]

The warning that the system does not change is so terrifying to Elaine.

If not random, what about drawing cards?

Is the drawing of cards also counted?

Or, everything about her was designed?

She has to get rid of this domination.

She cannot investigate the case with Louise.

But, is the purpose of the system for her to investigate this case, or is it related to Louis?

Well, Louis is already involved, isn't he?Even if she doesn't investigate, Louis will delve into the case.

how to change?

How should it be changed?

Elaine paced around the house in a hurry, as if there was a clock in her heart reminding her that if she didn't hurry up, there would be great consequences.

Elaine decided to persuade Louis not to participate in this investigation, so that the risk may be avoided...

As she thought about it, she called Louis' private number.

"Elaine?" The other side hesitated.

"It's me." Elaine licked her dry lips, "Are you going to investigate the Roxie case recently?"

"Yes, how do you know, have you noticed my report?"

"Yes, but I'm calling this time to persuade you to drop this case first."

"What?! This is absolutely impossible!"

"I'm not saying not to investigate, but I will investigate." Elaine thought about the reason, "I feel that you may be in danger in this case investigation."

The other side was silent.

After a long while, the other side said: "Elaine, every case I investigate may be dangerous, but I can't give up because of this, can I?"

"I can go to Baltimore for you, but you have to stay in Central City." Elaine compromised, "It's just not a field trip, okay?"

"Do you have premonitions? Or are you a precognitive mutant?" Louis asked.

"I just, want you to be as safe as possible. The safest place right now is the metropolis, right?"

"Maybe." Louis glanced at the Gotham news again, "but—"

"I have to keep you safe." Elaine emphasized, "No one wants to see you in danger. And I promise, I will help you investigate this case, okay?"

"If you insist, but let's talk first, you have to tell me all the progress." Louis finally compromised, but his tone was still a little uncertain.

"I will." Elaine promised.

She exhaled, and the system warning didn't seem to appear again.

It's just that there is one less teammate, and I hope it's just that she thinks too much.

She slumped on the sofa, finally taking a breath.As time passed, she had to prepare to go to Baltimore based on the address and documents sent by Louis.

Baltimore, on the other hand, is an indescribable city.

The air here always smelled of mud, but the fresh air made her feel a fishy smell, maybe it was fish, or maybe it had rained recently.

Or, the unique smell of crime in Baltimore.

Before the investigation, Elaine reported to Steve. After learning that Elaine needed to investigate a murder case, Tony handed her a business card.

"There are things to find him, he is an FBI agent, but not like an FBI." These are Tony's exact words.

Elaine looked down at the lettering on the card, which read: Will Graham

The author has something to say:

The case is self-made.

Everyone should know who will appear later.
