People are amazed when they count feral cats in big cities every year - they can even find tens of thousands of feral cats in a single city, which is what you see all the time if you're a night walker walking the streets of New York at midnight Mysterious shadows roam the streets in groups.

These free stray cats are completely different from those domestic cats. They also look down on the same kind who rely on being cute and willful in exchange for food, and they don't trust the declaration of bipeds to shovel shit. They are usually under the jurisdiction of the "Elvis" in the neighborhood. Check in at the restaurant in the hotel, waiting reservedly and proudly for human beings to offer offerings.

Raniya didn't know how many wild cats there were in Gotham, but she was already starting to feel the corners of her eyes twitching.

With her physical strength, not to mention catching cats, it was impossible to catch them, so she carried Alfred back to the manor alone, sitting in the garden alone with her eyes open, waiting for the further development of the situation...

On the other side, wearing a red hood, she began to painfully search for her father and brothers who had run away in Gotham.

Fortunately, the animals were within Lania's sight range, and it was easier to find cats than others. If it was replaced by humans, she would have to catch them blind.

She turned into a small cloud of liquid-like black mist, clinging to the shoulders of the red hood, looking around anxiously, churning like a ball of boiling water.

"Let's keep some secrets for each other," Red Hood's voice was distorted by the whirring wind, "I don't ask why you are looking for a cat, and correspondingly—"

Rania thought he was going to put forward some conditions, but who knew he just said: "I'm not used to things moving around on me, so either you be quiet, or you change your form and get off me, how about it?"

His request is basically no request, it is a favor for Rania, so that they can get along more happily in the next half month, but he made the little girl feel more guilty, and he also gave birth to the red hood who worked hard and rushed to the scene. I got a lot of goodwill.

However, it is impossible not to reveal anything. If she can find the cat next, she will have to see if she can get Red Hood to recommend a mage to her, and then contact her to find the cat. Basically, there is nothing to hide , and whether the identity of her family members will be exposed depends entirely on the professional ethics of the lawyer.

Thanks to her former guardian, Raniya has never been very trustworthy in the professional ethics of others.

She sorted out her thoughts one last time—Dick and Tim both had a good impression of the Red Hood, and judging from their scattered interactions, at least she felt that the Red Hood was a person with a limit.

Take a gamble?Rania thought.

The thought flashed away, and she stopped hesitating.

"...No, it's not impossible," she said, "my girlfriend is Wayne's daughter."

Although this was information that Jason had known for a long time, Mist said it easily at the moment, which still made him slightly startled.

Contrary to what he understood, Mister didn't seem to need a mask, and the previous concealment was only out of distrust. She, like himself, was not dedicated to maintaining her ordinary person identity, just like she was like him ...there is no ordinary life.

But it’s normal to think about it—with her identity as an evil creature, it is impossible for Mist to have a formal identity. She is different from Rania, she is a monster among the crowd, not to mention she is not morally perfect A superhero flawless enough to be tolerated.

But now everything has changed.

Knowing that he couldn't see those honey-golden eyes when he looked back now, Jason suddenly wanted to look back.

Before Rania got Wayne's surname, they could depend on each other and spend time together in the corner of the slums, but as the little Shrike returned to her lair, Mist was left in the shadows behind the sun. She can't get her own identity, she just stands there forever, and that's pretty much the foreseeable future.

In other words, she will never be able to appear by Lania's side in an open and aboveboard manner.

He quickly organized his thoughts: "Big man—so?"

Mister: "She told me that their whole family has somehow turned into cats, and that's what we're looking for."

Jason: "..."

silence.Silence swallowed the wind.

After a while, Red Hood asked in a strange tone: "Are you talking about Bruce Wayne?"

Rania: "...if she doesn't have a second father."

She hesitated for a while: "I hope there is no conflict between you. If that's the case, it's okay if you don't want to help. We can be separated by more than one kilometer now. Can I ask you not to leave this city... Are you kidding me?" ?”

"I don't have one." Red Hood denied it flatly, "Don't make a fuss, this kind of situation is usually a curse, and it's not like I haven't seen it before... Hahahahahahahahahahaha!"

He twitched his shoulders, his laughter shook his chest, touched the teeth marks before, and made him hiss slightly, but he still didn't stop laughing wildly. If it wasn't for the locomotive still speeding, Raniya doubted that he would help Laughing against the wall until he can't stand up.

Rania looked indifferent: "..."

If it was placed on someone else, Rania would definitely find it funny, seeing that the whole family, no matter how romantic or arrogant or indifferent they are usually, have all turned into orange cats rolling around... But if it is placed on her, think about it for a while The little girl was dumbfounded when the bag of cats disappeared, and the little girl really wanted to find a bar to drink away her worries.

My host could be a fool.

As Rania thought, she repeated helplessly: "If you don't want to..."

"No, I would," Red Hood restrained his laughter, and replied quickly, "Actually, I'd be happy to help, miss."

Just kidding, how could he let it go if he had the opportunity to see them turn into cats.Jason thought gloatingly.

He took Mist back to the urban area at lightning speed, and stopped in front of a building.

Raniya was in a hurry to go to the manor before, and the fact that the whole family turned into an orange cat hit her too hard. She was a little absent-minded along the way and didn't pay attention to the surrounding scenes, but this time she was a little distracted , raised his head inadvertently, and then his consciousness suddenly froze.

There are tens of thousands of colors in nature, but without contact, Rania can only see shades of red, and can't extend too much in other directions on the color spectrum, just like myopia can't be cured, glasses and the like The props are just an aid, just to make her life a little more convenient. After losing her glasses, she is just a disabled person.

Raniya doesn't resent her own incompleteness, but she can't help but hope that one day she can see this colorful world with her own eyes, but she hasn't found a solution for so many years, and she has learned not to use it anymore. To look forward to the impossible future.

but now……

Rania saw orange.

There is less than a week until Halloween, and most stores have already put on Halloween-style decorations. Bright orange and yellow pumpkins are piled up in front of the door, each of which is carved with funny faces, decorated with orange ribbons and colored lights. When I opened the window, it was as bright as the sun falling.

The candy store is full of orange candies, jars of candies are placed in front of the window, the color seems to have a fragrance, the shape seems to have a sweet taste, she tasted the sweetness of the candies with her eyes, and suddenly she was drawn into the In the brisk and joyful festival, tongue-tied and at a loss, he watched the festive atmosphere on the street awkwardly, not knowing where he was now.

All of a sudden, like a gust of golden wind swept past, the autumn leaves swirled in the cool wind, floating towards the high and wide sky, bringing a fairy tale about autumn to the world.

For the first time, Rania saw Halloween from a place other than a photograph.

She stared blankly at the ordinary street scene, and suddenly didn't know how to breathe. She wanted to pant, cheer, and tell everyone the world she saw, but she was afraid that her joy would be too much. Ridiculous, it will scare away the elves of the festival.

"...is it almost Halloween?" she asked.

The Red Hood naturally didn't know how she felt, so he replied casually: "Yeah, that's right—want candy? I agreed, don't make trouble if I give you candy, how about it?"

Raniya stared for a long time: "...um."

There must be a reason for suddenly seeing orange, and within a short time, Rania had already thought of this reason.

After devouring the black mist before, the information she perceived was that the prey she preyed on filled up some of her defects... Now it seems that it probably extended her visible spectrum.

It's just that a part is really a part. From this point of view, she doesn't know how much of that black mist she has to swallow to restore normal people's vision.

Raniya didn't want to think about this question for the time being.Just being able to see some more colors has already made her very satisfied, and now she even feels that her eyes are a bit hard to see.

An extra part of the color means that she can see a lot more things, and the empty field of vision is suddenly filled with many new scenery, and the gorgeous autumn gently embraces her in her arms, as if blinding her eyes A layer of colored paper was peeled off, revealing a corner of the real world.

After a while, she slowly came back to her senses and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Do you know how many wild cats there are in Gotham?" Red Hood rested his long legs on the ground easily, and glanced at the building in front of him, "Are you planning to catch wild cats with your bare hands?"

"This is the American Society for the Protection of Animals," he said.

As soon as he uttered these words, Rania instantly understood—not necessarily in other places, but there must be tools to trap wild cats here. In order to control the number of stray cats and dogs, the association captures a large number of cats and dogs every year for sterilization or euthanasia .

But then, she felt dizzy in her brain, and the heavy reality shattered the beautiful fantasy in her mind, pulling her back into the abyss of pain.

... There are at least a few thousand orange cats in Gotham, and catching all the wild cats with bare hands is almost a dream, not to mention that she can hardly re-establish contact with the nest during the adaptation period, and finding cats is a problem.

How to find her father and older brothers and younger brothers in the vast sea of ​​cats?

"Or you could try calling Superman," said Red Hood. "Shout 'Superman,' and maybe a few Kryptonians will fly in and catch the cat for you."

When he said this, he suddenly fell silent.

...And he is helping her find the cat now, what is the difference between him and those Kryptonian rescue dogs.

With this in mind, Jason walked into the association with a dark face, and after a while drove a van specially designed to catch wild cats, and drove to the streets of Gotham.

"All the cats caught are sent to Wayne Manor?" He asked Mister for advice, "You said your little girlfriend told you about this, how did you get in touch?"

"It's just a small trick, just to make it easier for her to contact me." Mister said absently.

"Okay - next question." Jason didn't bother.

He asked, "Are you sure Wayne Manor has room for tens of thousands of cats?"

This question did not bother Raniya, she explained: "Not all cats, they have all turned into orange cats, there are four in total, they should act together, but the possibility of dispersing cannot be ruled out..."

"Thousands, uh." Red Hood mused.

Rania was silent for a moment, then shook her head: "...No, the last thing we are looking for is probably only a few hundred."

The United States is a country infested with wild cats and dogs. Wild cats can kill billions of birds and tens of billions of small animals a year. The impact on the environment is severe. In order to control the number of wild cats, governments of various countries have issued corresponding measures. Measures, such as targeted killing, but this measure is not accepted by animal protectionists all over the world, so most of the current control methods are to implement the TNR strategy-Trap-Neuter-Return (Trap-Neuter-Return).

Rania took a deep breath, recalling the bulletin board she just saw in the association, swallowed the surging despair in her heart, and said awkwardly: "I just read it, Gotham's Animal Protection Association just organized an action this year , sterilized the captured [-] wild cats and released them..."

She looked at the sky faintly: "We just need to find male orange cats that have not been neutered."

Red Hood: "..."

It's easy to tell if a male cat has been neutered or not - just look behind each cat to see if the bell is still alive.

But it also means that she is destined to see her father and brother and brother's...

Thinking of the clothes still on the dining table, Rania closed her eyes in pain.

... They must not have the memory of becoming a cat! ! !

……

At this time, the Justice League base.

Superman who was on duty today suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction in doubt.

"What's the matter?" Diana came over with a cup of coffee, noticed his expression, and asked.

"Batman's heartbeat has changed." For the purpose of protecting his friends in time, Superman has been monitoring Batman's heartbeat. Although Bruce doesn't usually need his help, it's like he always remembers all his relatives and friends. It's just Clark's habit that it's the same as his friend's birthday.

He frowned: "138... No, it's 176, and it has been at this frequency for 7 minutes."

The heart rate of a normal adult is between 60 and 100, not exceeding 160. Usually, it is not surprising for Batman to have a heart rate change, but this situation is obviously not normal now.

He listened for a while, and finally stood up: "Let me go and have a look."

I just heard that Bruce has a daughter, so I wonder if he can play with Xiao Qiao.Clark thought.
