The Princess Diaries [Comprehensive British and American]
Chapter 42 The culprit
Under the watchful eyes of her old father and brothers, Adele took up the small hoe and shovel that Ah Fu used for tending flowers and plants, and went to the garden expressionlessly. She rolled up her sleeves and dug a huge one by herself. He buried the small pink card in the hole, and threw a mess of sealing spells up like a trash dump.
This is not over yet, and then Adele summoned a slightly grown-up three-headed hellhound, and told it to squat here obediently and guard it, and never let the card leave its grave.
"If it escapes from prison, I will trouble you." Adele was very unreasonable, and she threatened the little golden retriever super fiercely.
The little golden retriever was so frightened that its three heads nodded together, and two of them bumped into each other stupidly, only daring to hum softly, not daring to bark loudly.
Although adequate protective measures had been taken, Adele was still worried. She really didn't dare to have any expectations of her mother's integrity.
So Adele made a difficult decision. She announced that from now on, until the influence of the card faded, she would only walk in a straight line and never turn.
Everyone: "..."
"Isn't this realistic?" Tim's desire to complain was about to explode, he said dumbfoundedly, "Who walks only in a straight line?"
"It's actually not difficult," Adele said. "When I have to turn a corner, I just open the space door."
Xiao Qiao tried to persuade Adele to calm down, "I don't think this card is that bad..."
Before the words were finished, Bruce and Tim cast ghostly glances at Xiao Qiao at the same time.
"...At least it's better than gaining weight, right?" Xiao Qiao bit the bullet and finished expressing her point of view with difficulty.
If it was before Halloween, Adele would have no hesitation in agreeing with Little Joe, but after experiencing the adventures of Kane Manor, she has no confidence to say things like "my mother will not play tricks on me" up.
She can only sigh.
"Anyway, I won't turn a corner. From now on, the verb 'turn' doesn't exist in my dictionary. I will only go forward." Adele looked firmly.
Xiao Qiao: "...just as long as you are happy."
"I have another question," Adele blinked suspiciously, "Since my card is 'Corner Meets Love', it must have nothing to do with your gaining weight...favor. Who could it be?" ? Who else?"
"Is there really no one else?" Xiao Qiao scratched her head, "Anyway, I haven't seen anyone else."
Bruce asked in a low voice: "Is it possible that I didn't meet you?"
The entrance to the House of Mysteries will be opened in every corner of the world on Halloween. If you are lucky, you can go in and visit it. Besides, there is only an entrance in Kane Manor, and the exit is in the fireplace of Wayne’s house. Where are all the passages from? Come in and come out.What if someone else, like Magneto, accidentally opened a certain door that night, and then left in a daze, thinking it was just a dream the whole time...
"Probably." Clark agreed with Bruce, "but that would be too much scope. Where are we going to find the person who caused us to... um...?"
"Not necessarily," Tim narrowed his eyes, "First of all, we have to determine whether the fat gain is a random selection, or for people with certain characteristics."
If it's the former, it's probably impossible to find it, but if it's the latter, there are still traces to follow.
Living under the same roof, Bruce and Tim put on weight, Adele, Damian, and Alfred are fine; Clark puts on weight, while Joe and Louise are not affected at all.
"Who have the three of you been in contact with recently?" Adele asked, "If you have all met someone, then TA must be the most suspicious."
"Let's think about it..." Clark thought thoughtfully, "I've met a lot of people with Bruce, but plus Tim..."
"The regular meeting of the Justice League," Bruce responded very quickly, his eyes flickered slightly, "four days ago."
"The time can almost match," Adele shrugged, "it should be."
The scope has been narrowed down to a dozen people, and the next thing to do is to check one by one, and then... Supervise someone to eat less!
"Is it The Flash?" Damian asked. "He always likes to eat."
"I was on duty yesterday with Barry at the Watchtower, and he didn't put on weight," Clark said, "but I don't think so. Although he eats a lot, he burns it out very quickly."
"Green light...not." Tim denied himself. "He's not a binge eater."
"I don't think there is anyone in the Justice League who overeats." Xiao Qiao complained in a low voice, "Aside from Flash, who else usually eats a lot?"
Bruce, Tim and Damian all turned to Clark.
Clark: "...I'm a victim too!"
You can't draw conclusions if you stay at home and think about it. Only by actually visiting and investigating can you gain anything.
So Bruce and Clark went to find people one by one to understand the situation.
"Don't look at me, I'm not going." Adele sat on the sofa with a firm tone, "I don't think it's safe to walk in a straight line. It's safer to minimize exercise."
Damian mocked, "Why don't you turn into a turtle and lie in the water?"
"It makes sense!" Adele's eyes lit up, and she really thought that Damian's idea was great. Without saying anything, she snapped her fingers and turned herself into a little pink turtle.
Staring at the pink tortoise slowly crawling forward on the sofa, the expression on Damian's face was indescribable, as if he was choking on dry bread.
"How can there be such a person?" Damian said incredulously, "Is her mind filled with straw?"
Tim sighed, picked up the little turtle, and put her in his pocket, "You're thinking too much, maybe it's just a little water."
Pink Turtle: "..." Don't think I can't understand what you are saying now!
In the end, Bruce and Clark, the world's best partners, worked together to find out the "culprit".
Port Grace, Maine, cabins by the sea.
Neptune, with potato chips in his left hand and a burger in his right, was listlessly slumped on the sofa.His recent life is quite monotonous - going to the sea at a fixed time every day to rescue marine life and human beings in distress, and then going home to eat, watch TV and sleep.
His younger brother took care of the state affairs of Atlantis conscientiously, while Mera went back to her mother's house due to business, and Arthur was left alone on land, feeling extremely bored and unable to cheer up anything.Although the couple spend hours talking on the phone every night, and there are countless fish to help send messages, but separated by a long distance, it is always better to talk face-to-face to ease the lovesickness.
At this moment, Clark and Bruce came to the door.
Arthur: "...hahahahaha! It's only been a few days since we last met, how did you two become like this?!"
Aquaman laughed at Clark and Bruce unceremoniously, laughing until tears flowed.
Bruce's expression was indifferent, and the corners of Clark's mouth twitched.
"I want to ask you something." Bruce cut to the chase, "Have you been anywhere else on Halloween night?"
Arthur shook his head. He said he had spent the night with Mera, and the two of them had some indescribably hot, loving exchanges in the second half of the night.
What is Halloween?Is it important to spend time with your wife on Halloween?
"Is there anything strange?" Clark didn't give up, "For example, you had a very realistic dream..."
"It does exist, but how do you know?" Neptune was slightly taken aback, "I dreamed that I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and when I opened the door, I returned to Atlantis. I became a queen, and Mera became a king. The teacher hurried over and told me that my son Dick eloped with humans, but isn't Dick Bruce's son, hahahaha..."
Bruce and Clark: "..."
Haiwang laughed for a long time, and found that the faces of the two colleagues were terrible, so he stopped laughing embarrassingly, "What, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Clark's eyes scanned the cabin inch by inch like a radar. He looked at the snack bags all over the floor, looked at the remains of various foods, smiled slightly, and took out his mobile phone "click click" to take several photos.
"What are you going to do?" Haiwang became vigilant.
"Show Mera what good things you've done yourself at home." Clark smiled brightly.
As a rare winner among superheroes who has a wife and children, Clark knows a truth, that is, when great wives go out to work, struggle, and do errands, as a man, they must take the initiative to do the housework well, waiting for their wives. When you come back, you will have a good life.
Otherwise... huh.
Aquaman obviously understands this too, but Mera won't come back for a while, and he won't take the initiative to tell Mera that he messed up the house and just clean up before his wife comes back.
However, after all calculations, who knows that there will be a superman with bad and good deeds halfway.
"No!" Neptune showed a terrified look on his face, he jumped up like a fish, and rushed towards Clark, "What did I do wrong, you want to revenge me like this!"
Even if Clark is fat, he is still a flexible fat man with super speed. He purposely waited until Aquaman came to him and could read the words on the screen clearly before pressing the send button, trying to give him a heavier blow.
The message was sent successfully, Neptune stopped in place like a weathered statue, and his whole body began to lose color.
"Found it." Bruce took out an orange card from the pocket of Neptune's coat that hadn't been washed for several days and exuded a faint smell.
【Burn my calories! 】
I really want to eat, but I am afraid of gaining weight...
But now these are no longer a worry!
A real friend will share the meat with you, eat it to your heart's content!
"...We are no longer friends from now on." Clark pushed his glasses and said ruthlessly.
Bruce agrees, "Break it out."
Neptune was still in the fear of being discovered by his wife who was lying, so he didn't pay attention to the small card at all.
He stared tremblingly at the mobile phone lying in the corner of the coffee table. After a few seconds, the screen of the mobile phone lit up and the caller showed "Dear".
He usually listened to the affectionate ringtone, but at this moment it was laughing like death urging him to death, Haiwang shivered, and tremblingly pressed the answer button.
"Arthur Curry!" Meera's angry roar exploded in the cabin, "Deceive the superior and conceal the inferior! Obedience to the public! Do one thing to the face and the other to the back! You wait for me!!!"
Neptune: "...wife, I was wrong!"
The power of the small card lasted for more than half a month, and finally began to gradually fade away.
During this period, all the members of the Zhenglian that Neptune came into contact with have gained weight to varying degrees. In order to prevent the source of infection from traveling around and harming others, after obtaining the consent of Mera, the Justice League collectively voted to lock Aquaman in the watchtower. black house.
Neptune: I just don't do housework, why does the alliance control QAQ!
Others: Hehe.
When Neptune squatted in the small black room and counted the stars wrongedly, as one of the victims of Aphrodite's little card, Adele was also walking on thin ice.
If Tim hadn't forced Adele out for a walk every day (night watch), she would have been able to nest in Wayne Manor to take root, sprout and bloom.
"What are you afraid of," Tim said resignedly, "if it's true—beware of turning the corner."
Adele moved sideways like a crab around the corner.
"It won't be long," the little girl let out a sigh of relief, "I can feel the power of the spell is gradually fading, the troubles I encountered tonight are much less than last night, and you have returned to normal weight now La."
Tim took a deep breath, tucked his belt in, and said politely, "... I haven't gotten fat, thank you."
After going back and forth several times, he didn't even meet a robber. Tim was not used to such a peaceful night patrol.
The two decide to move on to their next location, Tim driving and Adele swaying slowly.
A text message was received on the mobile phone, Adele looked down at the message, and unknowingly walked to the corner——
With a muffled "bang", Adele collided with the running red hood, staggered back two steps, and fell to the ground.
Tim came over on a motorcycle: "..."
Adele with dull eyes: "..."
The innocent red hood who doesn't know anything: "Why are you staring at me, I really didn't mean it..."
Fuck, fuck, fuck!
Scream loudly!
- "Adele's Diary"
This is not over yet, and then Adele summoned a slightly grown-up three-headed hellhound, and told it to squat here obediently and guard it, and never let the card leave its grave.
