Lady's Melaleuca Vest [Comprehensive British and American]

In order to revive the market in North America, Luminas Jewelry rented an entire building in the commercial district of the metropolis where land is very expensive, and opened a new branch.

The 32nd floor of the building is the office of the CEO.

The sound insulation of the renovated room is very good, once the door is closed, you can't hear what's going on inside——

"The plan has failed." Lucia browsed through the hottest news on the various community forums at a glance, put away her phone, and cast an undisguised look of disdain at the man in the black cloak. She said eccentrically, " Ah, it can’t be said to be a complete failure, at least the netizens know that a monster has been released, and the purpose of spreading fear has been achieved.”

The man was surrounded by black mist, and he was obviously on the verge of rage, and his voice sounded extremely depressed: "Shut up."

In contrast, Lucia's mood is very beautiful, she is not afraid of men's low pressure at all, sitting comfortably on the sofa, resting her chin in one hand, shaking the goblet of red wine in the other hand, smiling happily, " But not enough people died—”

"I tell you to shut up!" The man suddenly turned his head and glared at Lucia, a horrifying light shone under the brim of the drooping cloak, and at the same time a sharp arrow flew past Lucia's side face, It slammed into the wall with a "Dang" sound, creating a spider web-like crack and dissipating into mist. "It's not your turn to mock me!"

Lucia slowly raised her hand, and gently wiped her cheek with her thumb, stroking away a line of fine blood that oozed out.She smiled and said, "If you have the energy to yell at me, why not think about how to explain to the high priest."

Hearing the title of "High Priest", the man trembled violently, his straight back bent a little.He whispered angrily: "How did I know she could come so fast..."

The living room was very quiet, Lucia keenly caught the key word, and asked just the right question: "Her?"

The man gritted his teeth hard, changed the topic, and warned secretly: "It's just a trivial matter, don't bother the high priest, I have a way to deal with it."

"Small things? I'd love to see you unlucky, but if this thing really messes up, I'll have to go around with you," Lucia raised her eyebrows, "So I have to remind you that the number of containers It is limited, and if one is discarded, one will be lost.”

"You don't need to talk too much," the man said irritably, "just make up for the missing lives later."

Lucia paused imperceptibly as she swung the wine glass.She asked casually: "What are you going to do? The detective said that Batman has noticed the movement of the black market. And the red hood, I don't know if this guy has a brain twitch, and he actually started drug prohibition and wanted to kill him There are more killers than cross-border locusts, and all the gangsters in Gotham are waiting for him to die, but in the end, the killers disappeared without a trace... Once the business of the drug lords stops, we can't do anything. With the help of drug dealers to cover up, exposure will happen sooner or later."

Although I never expected to hide it for too long, I didn't expect it to be exposed so quickly.

"How else can I mend it?" the man said grimly, "Of course it's murder."

A few fewer people died in the front, and a few more people were killed later. The number of low-level homeless people in Gotham is very large. There are so many transparent people who are struggling to make a living in Crime Alley. As long as they don’t disappear in large numbers at one time, it is difficult to be noticed.

Lucia's eyes closed and opened again, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, "Then I wish you success."

"Thank you," the man suddenly became polite, "as long as you can cooperate with me."

Lucia showed a lack of interest, "How to cooperate? Didn't the high priest not allow me to step into Gotham?"

"Extreme times, extraordinary means, just a few hours," the man hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind, "I will protect you in secret."

He gritted his teeth in the second half of the sentence, and there was a little bit of uneasiness that he didn't realize.

"Okay." Lucia's mouth curled into a faint smile, she raised her head and drank the wine, and said meaningfully, "Anyway, I don't care."

After heated discussions, the Chaoying team finally decided to take advantage of the opportunity of the re-opening of the Bingshan Club the day after tomorrow to formally visit Chaldea.

As for how to get the invitation letter for the banquet, it depends on the individual's ability.

"They didn't send me an invite!" Tony was furious. "Isn't 'Stark' worth a ticket?"

Doctor Strange teased the messenger bird with his fingers, "She just invited me."

Tony: "...Dr. Strange, I regret to inform you that you have been fired by the Avengers."

"What are you talking about?" Natasha covered Tony's mouth and said angrily, "This is the only one in our family who got a ticket."

Tony patted Black Widow's hand away and said angrily, "Bah, my face is the ticket!"

"I have an invitation letter from the investor," Wonder Woman thought of something, "I can bring a dance partner."

Relying on the advantage of super speed and strength, Flash quickly raised his hand, his eyes widened with anticipation, "Me! Look at me!"

Wonder Woman took a serious look at The Flash and said with a smile, "Okay, remember to dress up, boy."

"Yeah!" The Flash clenched his fists in excitement.

The others were half a beat too late, and all cast condemning looks at him: Chairman, someone is cheating here!

Superman, who is the only one who is qualified to compete with the Flash, laughed heartily: "Is the competition so fierce? Fortunately, I have other channels."

As a reporter for the "Daily Planet", Superman has already received the task of going to the Iceberg Club for interviews, and he can get in without an invitation.

Others: "..." What if the chairman cheated too?

There is no hope for the reunion visible to the naked eye, and now there is only one hope left for the Zhenglian, and that is the father of the alliance——

Batman, who was stared at by countless eyes, was expressionless, and coldly spit out the word "meeting adjourned", and then pressed the button to cut off the video conference.

Everyone groaned in unison.

After the meeting, the superheroes who had to leave left one after another, leaving only Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman in the watchtower.

"Ahem, Bruce," Superman waved his hand, and greeted him like an awkward beckoning cat. "During the meeting, you didn't say a word..."

Batman said calmly, "There is no room for me to speak."

Amanda is just a representative of a certain type of people, each of them is extremely stubborn, quarreling will not change anything, and only irreparable losses can make them reluctantly compromise.But their loss is often accompanied by the sacrifice of innocent people, which is exactly what people with a sense of justice don't want to see.

As for Chaldea... Batman let out a calm breath, feeling an overwhelming exhaustion.

His body is still very spiritual, and this exhaustion comes from deep inside.

Superman looked at Wonder Woman beggingly: Did I chat to death?

Wonder Woman: Well, it's not your fault, isn't he always like this?

"If you have anything to say, tell me," Wonder Woman put her hand on Batman's shoulder, and said softly, "Let's solve it together."

Batman's tone was cold with a hint of resistance: "This is my own responsibility."

It was his failure to protect Jason a long time ago that led to the current situation.

Wonder Woman frowned, "Bat—"

Superman quietly gestured to Wonder Woman, "Will you go to the dinner at the Iceberg Club?"

Batman replied succinctly, "Yes."

Since the Iceberg Club was occupied by Chaldea, he had tried many times to sneak in, but all of them ended in failure.An invisible barrier tightly surrounds the entire building, and unauthorized people cannot pass through anyway.If the Red Hood stays in the club, the opening ceremony is the only way to meet him.

"That's fine," Superman patted Batman on the shoulder, "I'll see you then."

Nightwing's hesitant attitude towards the Red Hood incident speaks volumes.Since there are really hidden secrets that are inconvenient to explain, as a companion, Superman can't ask too much. At most, he can quietly put an ear on Batman, pay attention to his movements at all times, and show up as soon as necessary.

A long time ago, the Gotham government tried to build a cross-sea tunnel to the next-door metropolis, but due to various problems, the plan was finally aborted, and the half-dug tunnel was abandoned. As time went by, it gradually became black｜color ｜A hidden market for power trading.

There are several sewer pipes leading to this market, one of which has an entrance in Crime Lane.

Dim light bulbs are embedded on the moss-covered walls, dirty water flows across the muddy ground, and huddled figures hide in hidden corners, watching every visitor vigilantly.

Jason didn't wear a red hood. Instead, he used his true colors. On top of that, he dressed up a bit and pretended to be an ordinary hooligan to avoid being recognized by acquaintances.

In fact, the chance of losing a horse is very low. Jason Todd is not a shining star, and he has been dead for more than three years. Throwing him into the permanent population of Gotham City with more than 700 million people is very light. Not even a sound could be heard.

But not afraid of [-], just in case, before a complete showdown with the old man, Jason didn't want to make troubles.

However, even with all the camouflage, Jason was still entangled by many people - especially the warblers with heavy makeup.After rejecting the number of ambiguous invitations of "Do you want to play together?" Jason asked helplessly, "Do any of you do business?"

"Of course not." Maybe she didn't expect to be talked to, the girl was taken aback for a moment, then covered her mouth with her hands, and giggled.She blinked, and looked over Jason's whole body from top to bottom, staying at a certain position presumptuously, "I'll still pick and choose according to my heart."

This look inexplicably reminded Jason of Genjun's amazing "You're too hot in a suit" once.

"...Thank you for the compliment." Jason twitched the corner of his mouth, resisting the urge to turn around and run away. It would make him look too innocent, and it's not a good thing to show timidity in such a place.

"Money and face must be the same." The girl spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, the thin metal shoulder straps slipped down her round shoulders, "It's a pity that people with good faces are rare... Are you really not coming? ?”

"No." Jason firmly refused.

The girl looked sad, "Is it because I'm not pretty enough?"

Jason: "I have a girlfriend."

girl:"……"

After a moment of silence, the girl waved her hand in distaste as a sign of repelling, "Go away, don't block me from doing business."

Jason rolled mellowly.Just two steps away, someone behind him called him: "Hey, wait!"

"What?" Jason turned around suspiciously.

"I see you've been wandering around for a long time," the girl approached slowly and asked in a low voice, "What exactly are you looking for?"

The strong smell of inferior perfume was engulfed in one brain, mixed with the vague moisture floating in the air, making people dizzy and unbearable.But Jason didn't seem to be affected at all. He blinked, looked around quietly, and confirmed that no one was paying attention, then lowered his voice and said, "Are there any white ones?"

As soon as the words came out, the girl's complexion visibly changed to the naked eye. She took a big step back as if she was hiding from the plague, and her original high spirits dropped instantly.

"Yes, do you want anything?" She folded her arms and leaned against the dirty wall, and said lazily, "Go inside, there are so many, pick slowly."

Jason raised his eyebrows, "Your attitude just now was not like this."

"I don't sell that damn thing, it's none of my business." The girl chuckled, rolling her eyes to the sky undisguisedly.

"Someone has gone crazy recently and cut off the supply. Can you still buy ordinary goods here?" Jason also leaned against the wall, took out a pack of squashed low-quality cigarettes from his jacket pocket, lowered his head and took one in his mouth. He took a lighter and lit it, and took a slow breath.

The girl stared suspiciously at Jason for a moment, snatched his cigarette, and lit one herself, but she didn't smoke, she just bit her mouth.

Dense smoke and acrid smell wafted around.

After a long period of silence, the girl suddenly said in a very soft voice: "Isn't it a good thing that I can't buy it?"

Jason's breathing stopped for a moment, and then he took out the cigarette, pressed his backhand against the wall, and crushed it vigorously.

"What I want is the one without side effects." He changed the subject nonchalantly, "Is there a channel? Tell me about it?"

The girl slowly leaned back, and put her head against the damp wall that was seeping with water vapor. She stared at the broken steel bars densely covered at the top of the ventilation duct for a while, then slowly turned her head to the side, and looked deeply at the wall through the dense smoke. Jason glanced.

"There is no medicine without side effects." She murmured with a hint of sadness, and gradually clenched the hand hanging by her side, crumpling the cheap short skirt covered with sequins, rustling, " If I could choose again..."

Jason heard some clues, and was about to ask, the light bulb embedded on the opposite wall suddenly flickered intermittently, and then went out completely with a soft "snap".

The girl was slightly taken aback, "Why—"

"Shh!" Jason covered her mouth and dragged her to hide behind a large tin box piled up at the bend of the pipeline, "Shut up!"

The lights on the wall went out one by one quickly, and the darkness engulfed everything.

"What's going on? Who turned off the electricity!"

"Fuck, who hit me! Was it you!"

"I'm sick, didn't you hit me?"

"Someone messed up! Copy guys!"

"what!"

"..."

The sound of running, screaming, things being knocked over, and panicked cries intertwined with each other. After losing the light, the entire black market suddenly fell into chaos.

"Da da da——" I don't know who pulled the trigger|trigger first, and the deafening gun|guns sounded one after another. The narrow and long pipe caused the gun|guns to bend back and forth, creating a hundred thousand guns|hands shooting at the same time| The loud momentum of the attack.

"What, what's going on?" The girl put her head in her hands, covered her ears tightly, curled up into a ball like a hedgehog and shivered, "Zuo, I just paid the protection fee yesterday!"

"What does this mean? It means that the black mask is really not good." Jason shook his head and mocked unceremoniously.

He put his hand into his pocket, tried to infuse a little magic power with the method taught by Yuanchun, successfully opened the space pocket, pulled out his beloved red hood, and buckled it on his head.

"Stay here and don't go out, look for a chance to run outside!" Jason warned, propped up on the box with one hand, and flipped out smartly.

The girl was so overwhelmed by the intense gunfire that she dared not stand up, and shouted, "What about you!"

Before she could answer, Jason had disappeared deep into the pipe without looking back.

# # #

"Let me see who is ahead of me to smash the field." Jason also took out the gun stored in the space grid in the same way, and at the same time, he felt in his heart that it was really cool to have Yuanchun behind him as support. .

He couldn't feel better in the next second, the sharp metal whizzed past the top of his head, if it wasn't for the quick flash, the damn thing would have pierced his forehead.

"What——fuck!" Jason couldn't help but cursed after seeing the hidden weapon that attacked him.

It is a bat dart with a sharp shape.

Jason turned and ran.

Seeing that Batman is about to get rid of this secret dealer｜drug｜den｜ point, he won’t be able to find any useful clues if he stays. Why don’t he go back and hug Yuanchun’s thighs, wait for the old man to sort out the information, and then send out Ms. BB directly takes off-the-shelf.

A shadow flashed over his head, and Batman descended from the sky with his cape unfolded, and accurately stopped Jason in front of him.

The flying bullets dragged their bright tails around, and the beam of flashlight shook violently, trying to catch the attacking target.In the flickering light and shadow, Jason and Batman looked at each other quietly for a moment, and shot at the same time.

Not toward each other, but behind each other.

Jason pulled the trigger continuously, and the bullets poured out, hitting the cloaked monster perfectly hidden in the darkness. The powerful impact hit the approaching monsters hard, and they collapsed into a thick fog.

In comparison, the strength of the bat dart was a little weaker. One monster was nailed to the wall, and the other one swam lightly around its companion and approached again.

"What are these?" Batman asked.

"...You ask me?" Jason couldn't believe it, "You came here without knowing anything?"

In fact, he didn't know very well. After checking the Sanwu products, he thought that there were the most gangs|gangs|arms|fights, but he didn't expect to lead out the puppet of the FOG organization.

Is Black Mask okay?The site has almost been infiltrated.

"Conventional weapons are useless," Jason said angrily. He took out a rune stone from his pocket and threw it at Batman. "Get out of the way!"

Batman dodged sideways, Jason threw the empty | bullet | gun, and drew | the blade of the Great Caste with his backhand.

Bright flames lit up on the blade, and the blade swept across, cutting through the thick darkness.The chopped cloaked monsters made a "sizzling" burning sound, which sounded like a piece of steak was grilled until it was smoking.

Afraid of the power of the blade of the great caste, the cloaked monsters retreated a short distance, but still did not leave, maintaining the state of surrounding Batman and Jason.

The sound of gunshots and shouts disappeared at some point, and the vendors who could run had completely disappeared. Those who ran slowly were unlucky. Affected by the mist scattered from the cloaked monsters, they lay staggered all over the ground. Life and death are uncertain.

Jason estimated the number of cloak monsters, and felt that the situation was not optimistic.

Batman threw out a charged bat dart, and the moment it touched the corner of the cloaked monster's clothes, the jumping lightning was swallowed by the surging fog.

"What a fun little toy." Jason mocked.

Unmoved, Batman tried throwing a flaming lighter.This had a slight effect, the cloaked monster shrank back suddenly, and the lighter fell to the edge of its cloak that was hanging on the ground, and it was quickly extinguished.

"It seems that this thing is afraid of fire." Jason raised his eyebrows.

There was a rustling sound, and the cloaked monsters overlapped and squeezed each other, getting closer and narrowing the encirclement.

"Look," Jason swung his wrist, crossed his knives across his chest, and put on a posture ready to attack. He sighed a long time, "You have to provoke them."

"These things won't take the initiative to attack." Batman's sharp eyes glanced around, calmly judging the situation, "We're trapped."

"So what if I'm trapped—" Jason's face changed slightly, he quickly opened the communication, and tried to contact the outside world, "Hello? Can you hear me?"

Only the current sound of "Zizi" can be heard in the earphones.

The communicator was specially modified by Leonardo Da Vinci. It has a built-in gemstone full of magic power as a battery, and the transmission signal relies on spiritual veins instead of satellites. In theory, as long as there are spiritual veins around, no matter how far away, the signal can arrival.

Gotham is indeed covered by the network of spiritual veins. Yuanchun personally stamped this point. She also told Jason that she must read the historical information recorded by the local spiritual veins carefully when she has time. Maybe she can find useful information. intelligence.

In this case, there is only one reason why the information cannot be sent out, and that is that it is blocked by the dense fog.

When Yuanchun and Jason fell into the pocket space before, they couldn't communicate with the outside world, and the pocket space was constructed by fog.

"Is this a trap?" Jason said in a low voice, "Where did you get the information? What are you doing here?"

The cloaked monsters couldn't communicate, didn't have basic sanity, and could only fight and kill like tools, so Jason's words were obviously meant for Batman.

"...After you cut off the supply chain of drugs, a new type of substitute began to be quietly sold on the black market. I finally found this place by tracing all the products in circulation on the market." There was silence for several seconds , Batman replied slowly.

His voice seemed a little lower than usual, as if suppressing some emotion.This change is very subtle, and people who are not particularly familiar with it will never be able to hear it.

Jason sensed it subtly, but he suspected that he was just thinking too much.

Expelling the messy thoughts from his mind, Jason quickly analyzed the current situation - he received the information in the morning and decided to come over in the afternoon, and it happened that Batman was there, and then the two of them were surrounded together...

The appearance of the caped monster proves that the enemy is FOG, whose goal is either to trap him or to trap Batman.The former means that FOG is going to attack Yuanchun, and the latter means that FOG is going to attack Gotham, no matter which point is very bad.

"We have to make a quick decision," Jason said coldly.

Batman's answer was to turn off the flashlight that was used to illuminate it.

The surroundings were once again plunged into lightless darkness.

The light golden transparent barrier is soft, and when you touch it with your hands, it feels like a jelly-like Q bomb, which is addictive if you touch it too much.Yuanchun poked and pressed enthusiastically, releasing magic power to smooth out many cracks, and gradually discovered a little pattern.

After some cracks were repaired, they healed completely, and the surface was restored to be smooth and flat, and there was no trace of previous injury at all.But some cracks will crack again after a while, and no matter how much mana is input, they can't be completely repaired.

"How could this be?" Yuanchun poked a gap that was opened three times with perseverance, and complained in a low voice, "You are too stubborn!"

A wisp of mist floated out of the gap and wrapped around Yuanchun's fingers. At first, it was only carefully tentatively rubbed, and it was a little itchy. Later, when she was not paying attention and relaxed her vigilance to look at the phone, the mist suddenly tightened.

Yuanchun took a deep breath and quickly released a lot of magic power.The impacted mist retracted into the crack like a snake, and the crack closed.

"...you can still suck blood?!" Yuan Chun flicked his throbbing fingers, and was shocked to find that not only deep bruises were left on the fingertips, but also a very small wound was punctured, and thin blood flowed out. blood beads.

Sucking off the blood beads, Yuanchun stacked five layers of defensive BUFF on himself, squatting in front of the closed crack as if facing a big enemy, observing it carefully.

This thing doesn't seem to be very lethal, but that's because it only emits a wisp of mist. What if it's a large area?People who strayed into it might not be sucked dry in an instant.

"Today I must treat you well!" Yuan Chun made up his mind, he must find a way to eradicate this evil.

According to Doctor Strange and Merlin's guess, the reason why the gaps in the barrier are always repaired and cracked everywhere is because someone persistently tried to call the fog down.

The closed gap quickly opened again, and the thin mist slowly came out, swaying from side to side, inexplicably giving people the feeling of a dog.

This time Yuanchun didn't rush to plug the seam, but retreated all the way to hide behind the sofa.To be on the safe side, she also covered her own breath, completely invisible in the room.

Without the interference of external forces, the fog drifted slowly in a certain direction.

Yuanchun picked up his backpack and quietly followed.
