[Comprehensive English and American] This is not a serious day-to-day

"...where did you find this?"

"Pick it up."

I am afraid that this conversation is familiar to many people-it is often seen in the mouths of children who have spent money on useless gadgets and are found to lie to their parents. Usually, at this time, adults will immediately come to the conclusion: lying.

… Dick is now conflicted, he is not sure whether to believe Raniya's words.

If you believe it, this statement is too unreliable-yes, Batman will not recycle the bat darts, first Batman needs to leave a little sign to prove that he has been there, second most of the bat darts will be recovered after the battle Destruction, third... after the battle, you have to squat on the ground to pick up bat darts, no matter how it sounds, it's a bit miserable.

So Batman's dispatch is basically equivalent to throwing money... If he wasn't Bruce Wayne, Batman would never have existed in Gotham for so long.

But this does not mean that anyone can pick up bat darts on the ground casually.Even if the damage is serious, these weapons from Batman can still be sold for a good price in the black market. I don’t know how many people expect to find clues about Batman’s identity from these small things, let alone some for collection purposes. collector.

——Although Batman is a horror legend in Gotham City, if you can pick up a bat dart, it will make a child proud of his peers for a long time.

In this case, it is almost impossible to pick up bat darts casually in the alley, not to mention that Lania can't see it at all—bat darts are not red.

But if you don't believe me...

Dick and Jason looked at each other, feeling even more headache.

They had just talked about Rania before she came in.As expected, without Dick's telling, Jason has already figured out the origin of this little shrike, his experience in New York, what he did after he came to Gotham...and also learned that she has a girlfriend.

But from a daughter's point of view, Raniya did it flawlessly.Regardless of whether this is her disguise or not, at least she behaves like a well-educated lady, sweet, soft and well-behaved, gentle and quiet, neither alienated nor frivolous, even if it is just a vase, she is only beautiful enough to make many people want to A vase to admire at home.

Not believing means that they have to consider the possibility that this is a temptation—maybe Rania has discovered their secret identities, and now she is just putting the right of choice on the table, letting them choose whether to admit it, and then Choose whether to open up this family secret to her.

If Dick had the choice, he didn't want Rania to see their hidden truth now.

Every secret is a rose with thorns. If you don't wear iron gloves, you will only be hurt by the sharp thorns. For the weak, ignorance is the premise of safety.

The three of them stared at the bat darts on the table in silence. Except for Rania, the remaining two had enough thoughts in their minds to write a short story, and the scene was once very awkward.

Fortunately, a phone call resolved their situation.

Dick and Jason both breathed a sigh of relief when the cell phone rang in Dick's pocket—any more silence and they'd be picking someone for a bad joke, and as far as Dick was concerned, he'd always felt that Jason's Bad jokes are not funny...

After hanging up the phone, Dick regretfully told his younger brothers and sisters: "Sorry, I have something to ask for, I have to rush now, uh, look, Jason, I still have a mountain of work on my hands..."

As he spoke, he winked at Jason vigorously, and pouted at Rania who was sitting quietly.

Jason: "...I see."

No matter what they thought, now that they saw it, they couldn't leave Lania alone.Dick had to leave in advance, and the responsibility of staying with him fell on him. At least he had to wait until the Mist that Raniya said came to her.

"Then I'll go first," said Dick. "See you tonight, Rania."

"Be careful." The little girl said sincerely.

In her opinion, this is the most important thing.

Dick winked at them and left the fast food restaurant.

After his figure disappeared, Jason turned his gaze to Rania who was opposite.

"I'm afraid you won't like Gotham. After all, this is not a city where everyone can care for a brother they have never met after a few days of getting along." He said abruptly, holding his face sideways with one hand.

Rania: "?"

She retracted her gaze, focused a little, and looked at the young man opposite.

His tone was light, and he couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or anything else. Raniya didn't hear the hostility, thought for a while, and replied: "Worrying and caring don't conflict with not having deep feelings. If you just show it, it's not difficult at all." .”

Raniya didn't think there was anything particularly strange about this, she thought she could see it at a glance, it was impossible to cultivate a deep relationship in a few days, her attention and concern were not because of how much she liked it Her father or Dick them, the two are not in conflict.

Jason was silent for a while.

"I thought you'd find a sweeter excuse," he said.

Rania wondered: "Why do you need an excuse? I didn't lie."

...you act like you're innocent enough to give trust and love to anyone who shows you kindness.Jason thought.

Jason Todd doesn't believe that there are 15-year-old innocent girls in this world. Before meeting Rania, he had always had some doubts about this girl, but the fact is that Rania is really not counted...but On the contrary, it is more difficult.For them, an honest person is actually more difficult to deal with than a smooth-talking liar, because the latter only needs to be beaten, while the former requires them to exchange what little truth they have left.

He was a little speechless by Rania's straightforwardness, so he simply shut up, stopped talking about the topic just now, rubbed the bat dart in his hand, turned it around and squeezed it: "Anyway, thank you .”

"When is your friend coming to pick you up?" he said. "Shall I take you home?"

Dick has something to do, and Jason has something to do too—the family of the drug dealers at the port hasn’t been caught yet. He originally planned to follow the clues tonight, but now he’s tripped over by this little girl. It’s impossible not to be upset .But Gotham is indeed not a safe place for single girls, so Jason can only wait patiently with Rania.

Rania felt the progress of Mist, and shook her head: "No, thank you."

The embarrassment in the air was about to turn into reality, Raniya felt it with her heart, and decided to lower her head and drink Coke obediently, while starting to plan tonight's itinerary.

The perception of the black mist is actually not clear, at least it cannot completely replace the eyes of normal people. It can perceive what happens within the coverage area, but it cannot mark a person for a long time, nor can it remember everyone's breath, which is equivalent to a single mark in the game , must be personally marked to take effect, and it will become invalid immediately after going offline.

If she hadn't watched Dick go out, even if she met him on the road, Rania wouldn't have recognized him—after all, Dick was invisible to her eyes.But now, at least tonight, the black mist can sense his whereabouts and protect his safety, Raniya is very relieved.

Once she's back at the manor, it's time to search the city for the Red Hood.

Tonight she's going to beat the Red Hood to the ground.The little girl sneered.

...Jason, who was sitting across from her, shivered inexplicably, feeling a little cold.

Dick bought Rania a Coke before he left, but didn't buy her a hamburger or snacks—"I guess Alfred has meat pies waiting for you when you go back"—Rania held the Coke cup slowly After taking a slow breath for a long time, he finally got to Mister, and Jason finally managed to retire, and handed Rania to Mister to bid farewell to them.

Before leaving, Rania let Black Mist perceive Jason's whereabouts by the way. After all, if he missed this time, it would be impossible for Black Mist to recognize him until the next meeting. However, after leaving, Jason quickly turned into a place The place that Raniya couldn't erode for the time being, just disappeared from the perception of the black mist, leaving Rania helpless.

But soon another piece of good news dilutes this helplessness—the red hood appeared within the perception range of the black mist.

Rania:!

Time to punch someone!

She immediately cheered up, half of her mind was on her homework, and the other half of her mind crossed a distance of tens of kilometers. After a black mist surged, she appeared outside an abandoned factory in Gotham East.

Although she is still in the weak stage after nesting, with Mister's strength and experience, it is no problem to beat someone up. Raniya is very confident in herself.

She sneaked into the factory quietly. There seemed to be a group of people in a meeting in the factory. A factory building was lit, and the black mist swam in silently. She listened to the conversations of the men below from above, while looking for traces of the red hood.

After listening for a while, Rania gradually understood that the group of drug dealers below were discussing how to get rid of the red hood. The impression of him is even worse.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

The white-haired girl hiding in the shadows suddenly shuddered, staggered and fell down, almost unable to maintain her human form.

Almost at the same time, Rania, who was far away in the manor, was startled and raised her head suddenly.

At this moment, the black mist lurking in Gotham surged up wildly, and then suddenly shrank from its expanding posture, and slumped into the corner of the city.

As a parasite, the black mist needs to be combined with the host to survive, but unlike ordinary parasites, after the adaptation period, the black mist does not need to be close to the host, and once the host dies, Raniya will fall into extreme weakness , until the next host is found.

Feeling the weakness of the black mist, Rania pursed her lips, anxiously threw away the pen in her hand, and looked at the night outside the window.

There is only one reason for the current situation——

—her host is dead.

The author has something to say:

Little Shrike: ...Now I'm going to catch a hapless guy to be my host, let's see who is so lucky.

·

Black mist is a parasitic life that needs a host to survive - but Mist is alive and well, so she must have a host!

Then when did we say that the little Shrike is the host of the black mist? 233

It is implied in the previous article that it is not that the host cannot contain the black mist for a long time, but the little Shrike cannot ah www·
