The Princess Diaries [Comprehensive British and American]

Adele and the little ghost boy looked at each other.

The little boy said seriously: "You have seen it all."

Adele nodded, "Yes."

"Then what should we do?" The little boy frowned, "Seeing that you are about the same age as me, and you are a girl—this is the key—I don't hit girls, so I can't silence you."

Adele: "..."

Darling, you really think too much, Adele couldn't laugh or cry, she thought to herself not to mention you are a ghost, even if you are a living person, look at this thin arms and legs, and a little bald head, you are absolutely no match for me.

The little boy leaned on a tire about the same height as him, held a crowbar in one hand, and bit his mouth with the other, racking his brains to think about the solution that was discovered.

If it had been a grown-up, or Batman himself, he would have run away with oil on his feet.But Adele looks like a little girl who looks not much older than him. She is soft and sweet, and has no lethality. It makes people let down their vigilance unconsciously.

Therefore, judging people by their appearance is not a good idea.

"Look at your outfit, you definitely don't hang out on the street, why are you here so late?" The little boy was puzzled, he tapped the crowbar lightly in his palm, and grinned, "Do you know A little girl like you, as long as you walk into this alley, it is absolutely impossible to leave here vertically."

At first glance, his words seem to be malicious, but if you chew carefully, you can find the embarrassing concern hidden in them.

What a kind ghost, Adele thought silently, she didn't speak, just smiled and pointed to the Batmobile next to her.

"Oh, I almost forgot," the little boy slapped his forehead. "Indeed, the presence of the Batmobile means that Batman is nearby. If something goes wrong, if you shout, he can always hear—"

The little boy's expression froze suddenly, and then a look of annoyance appeared on his face. He complained dissatisfiedly: "It's all you, who wasted my time. Batman must be back soon, and the tires cannot be stolen."

You can't steal, a ghost steals tires.Adele complained in her heart, but she didn't show any emotion on her face. She said, "Go ahead, he hasn't come back anyway."

"It makes sense." The little boy continued to unscrew the screw. He squatted down and twisted the screw cap once, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Wait, do you have any conspiracy?" The little boy raised his head abruptly, staring at Adele with suspicion and distrust in his eyes, "You and Batman are not on the same side, are you? "

"Of course not, how do you think I look like Robin?" Adele said sternly, "I just happened to pass by and found someone brave enough to steal the tires of the Batmobile, so I came to have a look out of curiosity. of."

The little boy was still very vigilant, "Then why didn't you call the police when you saw me stealing something?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Adele laughed, she shrugged her shoulders, "It's not mine that you stole."

Little boy: "...This is the first time I see a young lady like you."

The little boy worked hard to unload the tire, and Adele leaned on the side to observe with interest.

If it wasn't for worrying that taking pictures would disturb and scare the little boy away, she even wanted to take out her mobile phone to take a picture of this scene, show it to Bruce when she goes home, and then show it to her brothers and sisters.

Such a warrior must be watched by the whole family, even ghosts can be considered for adoption, such a promising one is rare, maybe he will be the next Robin.

When the hand in her pocket unconsciously pinched the phone, Adele suddenly thought of a question.

The little boy is obviously a ghost, how can the spirit body touch the real thing?

With doubts, Adele tentatively reached out and patted the little boy on the shoulder.

Rough cloth, and a soft and warm body under the cloth.

The fingertips actually touched the entity, not a mass of intangible air.

Adele was slightly taken aback, her arms stopped in mid-air stiffly.

"You called me?" The little boy looked back at Adele, "What's the matter?"

Adele came back to her senses, she lowered her eyes, her slender eyelashes concealed the shock in her eyes, "It's nothing...call whatever you want."

"Scared?" The little boy chuckled, "How did you get here? Tell me? You ran away from home?"

Adele hadn't thought about fooling people... the ghost said, when she heard a low "grunt" sound.

The little boy's cheeks flushed immediately, he stared at Adele with wide eyes, and said fiercely: "What are you looking at! I haven't eaten tonight, no way!"

...I didn't look at you!Adele sighed helplessly, she thought of something, raised her arm, and shook the plastic bag hooked on her fingertips, "I bought too much, and I plan to use it as a supper, but now it's almost time... we want to eat together ?"

The little boy swallowed, turned his eyes around the plastic bag with the Burger King logo printed on it, and replied confidently: "Eat!" It was delivered to your door, why don't you eat it.

Little boy would love to sit on the hood of the Batmobile and eat a burger - too much temptation for him!

The Batmobile is the dream of everyone in Gotham. People in Gotham are proud of their experiences such as taking photos with the Batmobile, touching the Batmobile, and driving the Batmobile (except for Robin). Batman beats up the villains before throwing them in the trunk.

But considering that Batman will come back at some point, the little boy reluctantly gave up his dream and planned to find a safer place.After all, there is Adele, she is like a delicious little cake that throws away the wrapping paper and walks on the street, and everyone who smells the aroma will want to take a bite.

"The roof, the roof is safe." The little boy looked up at the surrounding buildings, "Can you climb up?"

Adele smiled slightly, "Of course."

The little boy hooked his fingers, "Then come with me, do you dare?"

Adele didn't speak, but proved herself with actions, and she followed without hesitation.

When climbing up the wall ladder, Adele glanced back subconsciously, which made her froze for a moment, and her pupils shrank suddenly.

The Batmobile that was parked in place disappeared at some point, and the whole alley was terribly empty.

A cyan mist quietly permeates and rolls, like lightened watercolors, unknowingly painting layers of color on the drawing paper.

The poorly connected street lamps made a slight "zila" sound, and the light turned on and off for a while.

"Why don't you leave?" A boy's voice came from above, "Tired?"

Adele withdrew her gaze from a distance, looked up, and met the little boy who was looking down at her.From the other person's face, she could see the awkward concern and genuine doubts, and no other emotions.

"Well," Adele said softly, "it seems a little high..."

"Don't be afraid, just come up," the little boy comforted her, "I'll be waiting for you."

Adele continued to climb, thinking about what was going on while climbing.

Everything encountered after entering the alley was full of weirdness, but Adele didn't feel the breath of danger.

This experience was completely different from the last time she opened the door and encountered the maze. When she entered the maze, she could smell a strong smell of blood from the wind just by breathing; tonight in the alley, she was only full of curiosity.

Perhaps the ghost has some unfulfilled wish, Adele thought, it was fate that I ran into it, so let's see it first.

After making up her mind, Adele took out her mobile phone and wanted to send a text message to her father to inform her of the situation.Looking at the upper right corner of the screen, she saw a "No Signal" sign.

Um?how so?Adele raised her eyebrows, could it be...

"It's here!" The little boy's voice interrupted Adele's thoughts, "Come on!"

Staring at the translucent hand stretched out in front of her, Adele took a deep breath secretly, and then held it.

The feeling of skin contact is the same as usual, neither cold nor stiff, if Adele closes her eyes, she will not think that he is not alive at all.

The wind on the roof was a bit strong, Adele closed her open skirt, followed the little boy slowly, and walked towards the eaves.

The little boy sat down first. Like a primary school student listening in class, he put his hands on his knees obediently and looked up at Adele expectantly.

A little pity suddenly appeared in Adele's heart, no matter how good it was, even if it was an ordinary family, with enough food and clothing, the child would not be reduced to the point of going to the street hungry in the middle of the night to steal things.They are all human beings, some were born in Rome, and some never see Rome in their entire lives. The difference is really too great.

Adele didn't care how much dirt was on the roof, she sat down next to the little boy casually, took out a hamburger from the plastic bag and handed it to him.

The little boy stared at the hamburger devoutly. He took it carefully, unwrapped the plastic wrapping paper, opened his mouth and bit off a large piece, his cheeks bulging like blowing balloons.

Adele was afraid that he would choke, so she took a glass of Coke, took out the straw and inserted it.

"Thank you." The little boy said vaguely.

Adele smiled. She held the Coke glass and shook it gently, and heard the sound of ice cubes hitting the glass wall, "It's a little melted, maybe it's not as good as it was when I first picked it up."

The little boy said it was great.

Adele wasn't very hungry, she just smoked some french fries dipped in ketchup and ate slowly. She glanced at her phone and found that it still showed "no signal".

If there is only the ghost of the little boy, Adele will think that she has accidentally bumped into the ghost of the unfulfilled wish, but when the surrounding scene changes quietly at the same time, there is only one possibility.

When she stepped into the alley out of curiosity, Adele had already entered the alien space from the present world, and the creator of this space was far superior to her, which made her not aware of it in time.

Adele is only curious about one thing now, what is the other party's purpose?

Anyway, it wasn't for money or death, she was sure that this space was very peaceful, more harmless than the fairy tales in Kane Manor, like a dream with no beginning and no end, or a dusty old memory.

The little boy stuffed the hamburger into his mouth in two or three gulps, then he held the Coke and drank half of it, rubbed his slightly bulging stomach with his hands, and let out a sigh of relief.He turned his face slightly, stared at Adele with burning eyes, and announced loudly: "You give me the burger, and from now on, I will follow you."

Adele: "..." Wait a minute, what the hell?It's just a hamburger, not a mountain of gold and silver, so don't be so sincere!

"I don't think so," Adele rested her forehead with one hand, "Where is your logic?"

"I don't care," the little boy's eyes were full of cunning like a little fox, "I will follow whoever gives me food."

Adele moved away silently, "Are you a cat?"

"Cats don't just leave when they are given something to eat," the little boy hugged his arms and snorted softly. "I used to raise a cat and feed it every day. Then it ran away when there was nothing to feed it."

"I can't support you," Adele sighed. "The place I live now doesn't belong to me. I don't have the right to bring another person. I have to ask my father's permission first."

If Adele still lived in Olympus, it would be fine to have a little boy, the palace is so big, there is always a place for him.But she lives in Wayne Manor now, which is her father's property, not hers, and she can't take anyone home casually.

The little boy smiled mysteriously, and he whispered, "Don't worry, other people can't see me, only you..."

Adele froze for a moment, she shot quickly, and pressed the little boy's shoulder hard, "What do you mean?"

The little boy's gaze instantly changed from dazed to clear. He blinked and tilted his head innocently, "What do you mean?"

Does the kid even know he's dead?Adele looked at the little boy suspiciously for a long time, but she couldn't see whether he was pretending before, so she gave up temporarily.

"We haven't introduced each other yet." The little boy said again, "I'll come first, my name is Jason."

On the magic side, a person's name is very important. For many spells to be cast successfully, the name must be pronounced by the person himself, especially the various curses.Therefore, experienced magicians will not easily tell strangers their full names.

"Adele," Adele said softly, "my name is Adele."

"Then we know each other now." The corner of the little boy's mouth curled up, revealing a bright smile.When he laughed, he suddenly looked a lot better, especially those slightly squinted blue eyes, as if starlight had fallen into the deep sea, causing layers of ripples.

Adele subconsciously moved her gaze away. She looked at the brightly lit night scene of the downtown area in the distance, and slowly asked, "What can I do for you?"

No one answered her, the little boy faded into a shadow in an instant like an ink dot melting into the water, and disappeared into the dark night.

As the evening wind blew, the withered and yellow leaves rolled up and fell on Adele's clothes.

Adele picked up the leaves, her fingertips shimmered, and the leaves turned from yellow to green, reviving a brief life in the cold early winter.

The fog in the alley disappeared, and the poorly connected street lights returned to normal, casting a large warm yellow halo on the road.

Red Hood was riding a motorcycle and parked in the halo, as if he was playing with his mobile phone, he asked without raising his head, "Why don't you go home in the middle of the night, just sit there and enjoy the wind?"

Damn it today.

Gotham is such an amazing place.
