The Princess Diaries [Comprehensive British and American]
Chapter 54 The Dark Alley
Bruce promised Adele that he would find a solution to the golden apple.
"I believe you," the little girl nodded solemnly, "but please don't put too much pressure on me, father, I really don't really care—"
"On the contrary, I should tell you this." Bruce covered the top of Adele's head with his warm palm, pressed down slightly, and patted gently, "I care."
Adele: "...huh?"
Bruce was a little dumbfounded.
He was very worried that Adele would be afraid of the approaching destruction. She was still young, and there was still a long way to go in life. It was a pity to stop here.
But the fact is that other people are worried and anxious, and the person concerned doesn't care at all...it's all absurd.
"Anyway..." Bruce sighed, "You have a good mentality."
Adele nodded ignorantly, "Okay?"
Thanks to Tommy's pride and wealth, the top housekeeping team rushed to Wayne Manor at a rocket-like speed. No one asked much about what happened, and no one showed horror at the mess. The waiters were like The programmed robot took out various tools, with a clear division of labor, and cleaned the living room neatly, and then lined up to bow and say goodbye afterwards.
By the time Bruce finishes his small meeting with Adele and rolls up his sleeves and goes downstairs to clean up his troubled sons, the living room that was once on the verge of destruction has been reborn.
Damian smugly sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, as if the Iron Throne under his butt was not an ordinary sofa.
Tim is more pessimistic. He is holding a notebook and typing codes as fast as possible, trying to compile a few more programs before the harsh old father's punishment measures come down.
Jason wanted to run away, but unfortunately he couldn't - no matter how madly Damian and Tim called Dick, they couldn't get a response from the other party. He was sandwiched between the left and the right, and he had to call him nervously to go to the toilet, but his diaphragm was broken.
Bruce stood on the stairs, looking down at the brand-new living room condescendingly, as if a big gloomy bat was carefully observing its nest.
Damian put his legs down silently, sat upright obediently, and puffed out his chest.
Jason was not afraid of the majesty of his old father, and let out a loud ridicule.
Tim shot Jason a disgusted look.
Bruce: "...go and tidy up the garden."
Letting you do it yourself is for training and sharpening, and at the same time, you can understand that you have to bear the responsibility for the disasters you make.
Damian lost his color in an instant, he let out a dumbfounded "Oh", and walked away with his hoe in frustration.
Tim put down the computer calmly, and followed with a bucket.As early as when Damian called the housekeeper, he already knew that this would end, so he was very indifferent.
The most excited person is Jason. The garden is cheerful and spacious, and it is not a matter of minutes to run.The other little birds listened to the big bat and cleaned up obediently. He, the rebellious big red bird, didn't bother to talk to him.
The birds were only digging the soil for 5 minutes in the garden and then there was no more work to do.
Because Adele summoned a group of small animals to help.
The small animals came to Wayne Manor in groups, twittering over mountains and ridges. Some of them loosened the soil, some weeded, some cleaned up debris, and some pruned branches... Led by the leading white swan , working in full swing.
Adele sat dangling her legs on the railing of the balcony of the bedroom. She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Look at how kind I am to you!"
But put it down, Damian almost rolled his eyes to the sky, thinking that I still remember the bad things you did before!
The white swan staggered past, patted Damian with its wings, stretched its neck and called, "Hi-uh!"
—Young man, don't stand in the way of our work, go play!
Damian couldn't hold back the itchiness in his hands. He quickly stroked the head of the goose, and said contentedly, "I know you like me, and I like you too."
White Swan: "..." Who likes you!Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand goose language!
Ever since she agreed to Bruce's request, Adele has honestly taken root in the manor, staying at home obediently every day, and hasn't gone out for a week.
"Are you really so obedient?" Tony expressed disbelief.
Adele rolled on the bed, and the earphones "clicked" out, she simply pulled off the earphones and played the public, "I'm not a rebellious girl, of course I will listen to what I have to listen to."
Tony was noncommittal, he changed the subject and talked about Ares, "So you were in a coma that day because of him?"
"No," Adele said slowly, "The dream should have something to do with my mother, but then Ares invaded the dream... What I wonder is how did he follow the dream to find me?"
Abilities related to dreams are very rare, and there are only a few gods who can control dreams. Aphrodite happens to be one of them. She can give humans nightmares or sweet dreams, send messages in dreams, and use dreams to create illusions that can be faked... …
Ares does not have this function. Dreams are an unknown territory for the God of Destruction, unless he kidnaps Oneiros, the God of Dreams, and Adele can't think of any other way.
Tony's understanding of the gods of Olympus is limited to myths and legends, and Adele can't understand them, let alone him.
But as a good listener and a wise elder, Tony still gave his own advice.
"Don't dig into the horns, the answers to many questions are obtained inadvertently." Tony said solemnly, "You need to relax properly. How can people stay in a small space all the time?"
"But I can't go out," Adele twisted the headphone cable around her fingers, forming a flower, "I just said, why are you so forgetful, did you stay up all night?"
Tony: "...you're forgetful! I mean you can play games!"
The holographic game Animi, once you wear the helmet, you can go wherever you want, and you can try it in outer space.
"I don't think this game is interesting, and I might have hired a sailor to read the comments," Adele frowned. "I read comments from players on the Internet saying that the dungeon is very difficult and it takes a long time to clear the level, but we caught the murderer very quickly that day. gone."
Tony let out a "puchi" laugh, "Do you still know about hiring sailors?"
Adele: "...Do you think I'm very stupid?"
"That's not true, you're the smartest little girl I've ever met," Tony stroked Adele (he didn't know a few little girls anyway), "plus your teammates Some of them have high IQs—especially me—that’s why you think the game is easy. If you don’t believe me, just try a random game yourself.”
"By the way, I'll send you a program, you can receive it in the game, and then install it," Tony patted his head, remembering something, "I don't worry about the company behind the game. After checking for a long time, there is no flaw, on the contrary, it is even more obvious. Suspicious... the left and right are just a precautionary interception program, and it doesn't prevent you from playing."
Adele nodded, "Okay."
Being idle at home is also idle, playing games is just a way to pass the time.
While thinking this way, Adele dug out the normal version of the game device that Dick had given her, put it on according to the instructions in the manual, and started the game.
The transportation hub where the character is after logging in is still as lively as last time, which shows that the popularity of the game has not decreased with the passage of time.
Adele found the applet sent by Tony in the mailbox and installed it, then called up the small map, selected the library as the destination, followed the guidance of the big arrow floating above her head, and left the train station with a flick of her tail. .
The library was buzzing with people, and Adele had been queuing for a long time, with the tip of her tail scribbling on the ground, almost bald, and it was her turn to pick up the books.
"There are so many scattered people." Adele muttered softly, she took the book and walked to the window, opened a page at random, and was sucked into the book that exuded the dazzling golden light.
Words slowly emerged on the blank pages.

The arc moon was shrouded in dark clouds, and the night was dark.
The bleak cold wind rolled up dead branches and fallen leaves, and slid across the empty road for a long distance, making an unpleasant friction sound.
Adele stood under a dilapidated street lamp with poor contact and intermittent light, with her hands hugging her shoulders, feeling surrounded by cold air, shivering uncontrollably.
The weather was at least early November, and she was still wearing a short skirt with suspenders. She didn't freeze to death because of her good health.
"What's going on?" Adele jumped up and down to keep warm, and she didn't dare to flick her tail, so she stuck it tightly to her thigh.
She looked around, "Didn't it mean that after entering the game copy, you will get the character and change into the corresponding clothes? Why do I still bring my own clothes..."
There was no clue to be found standing still, so Adele simply walked outside.
The empty avenue has a much wider view than the narrow dark alley. Adele looked up and saw Wayne Tower standing not far away under the night.
"...This is Gotham?" Adele raised her eyebrows, opened the mission scroll, and checked the brief introduction of the dungeon.

Adele: "...what are you doing?"
Even if Adele hadn't played games much, she could tell that something was wrong just by looking at the string of question marks.
"Tony is right, this game really has ghosts."
Adele tries to figure things out on her own.She first selected the team channel to refresh for a long time, but none of the teammate's speeches were refreshed; then she opened the friend list and sent a message to Tony. Failed" prompt.
Adele is out of luck, she is a half-god, and she really doesn't have any achievements in computers.
Just when he was at a loss, there was a faint sound of wind above his head.
Adele looked up and saw Robin wearing green shorts and a yellow cape falling from the sky and landing in front of her.
The corner of Robin's mouth curled up, and there was an obvious smile in his voice, "Aren't you cold?"
Adele blinked, "A little bit?"
"It's still cold." Robin shook his head helplessly. He took off his cloak and wrapped it around Adele.
Adele's tail seemed to have a mind of its own, it was very curious about Robin, and swung in front of Robin silently.
"Uh..." Robin noticed the tail, and he was slightly taken aback, "Aren't you human?"
Adele pressed her tail down expressionlessly, "Of course I'm human, this... well, this is a toy."
Robin's eyes instantly became strange.
"It's not important, let's talk about something else," Adele simply and rudely changed the subject, "Which Robin are you? First exclude Damian."
Damian wouldn't wrap a cape around me, and he's not that tall either.
Robin raised his eyebrows, "Who is Damian?"
Who do you say is short?I think you don't want your legs anymore.
——"Damian's Threat Letter"
"I believe you," the little girl nodded solemnly, "but please don't put too much pressure on me, father, I really don't really care—"
"On the contrary, I should tell you this." Bruce covered the top of Adele's head with his warm palm, pressed down slightly, and patted gently, "I care."
Adele: "...huh?"
Bruce was a little dumbfounded.
He was very worried that Adele would be afraid of the approaching destruction. She was still young, and there was still a long way to go in life. It was a pity to stop here.
