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

For the world, this is the third day of Lania's disappearance.

Raniya was lying on the statue in the cemetery, playing with the black mist boredly.

As an evil creature whose main body is a mass of black mist surging with tentacles, Raniya has nothing else but a lot of hands, so many that she can now play with herself, if she doesn't feel that she doesn't need to be more careful After going down, she actually wanted to play cards with herself to pass the time.

The reason why she appeared here is simple-as a human, Rania disappeared in front of the cemetery on Halloween three days ago.

Rania was huddled in Red Hood's safehouse reading a book when the human shell disappeared.Because the adaptation period is coming to an end, Black Mist does not need to follow the host at any time, so when Red Hood goes out, Rania huddles in his safe room to read a book, so as to save this manual laborer who is engaged in a high-risk occupation from being hurt by bullets. If he was injured, he would be overwhelmed by the inexplicable hunger, and he would rush to fight with his prey and vicious dogs.

In fact, Raniya can just find a place to stay, after all, she is not addicted to taking care of others... But this thought disappeared when she saw the Kindle with the red hood.

Yes, in addition to the paper books on the bookshelf, Red Hood also has several Kindles, which are filled with all kinds of e-books. If you can't spend all day in the library of Wayne Manor, Raniya I was fascinated by this mobile library, staring at the kindle all day long, completely unaware of how terrifying the scene of my kindle being shrouded in black mist...

But reading is still reading. When the other half of her consciousness suddenly disconnected from her soul, Rania immediately realized that something was wrong.

But compared to the clueless Damian and Joe, Rania's advantage is that she clearly remembers pushing open the door of the cemetery, followed the petals into the night, and then disappeared into the air.

After realizing this, Raniya left a note for Red Hood, floated to the cemetery and stepped on it, and confirmed that her disappearance was not because of being snatched away by gangsters, but was related to some unknown force, so she floated back to the cemetery. She left the safe house and waited for news of her own death, or her return.

As long as the black mist still exists, the death of flesh and blood is irrelevant, and it would be more convenient to say that.If the human body dies, the black mist can directly generate a new body, and then just find a place to bury the body, and Rania can go home as if nothing happened, without causing any disturbance.

Instead, it was the most annoying situation of being stuck like this, where she could do nothing but wait, wait for the other boot to drop.

However, not long after, Rania got the news from the mouth of the red hood instead.

"Your girlfriend is missing," he said when he came back.

Raniya paused when she poked the Kindle: "..."

It's okay that he doesn't know, now that he knows, thinking about his current identity or his girlfriend, Raniya can only choose to continue to maintain her affectionate girlfriend persona in silence.

She floated up holding the Kindle in the black mist, and said coldly, "I'll go find her."

Red Hood: "...wait a minute."

Rania floated halfway: "?"

Red Hood said in a flat tone: "Put down the kindle."

"..."

Under the supervision of the red hood, Rania had to reluctantly put down her Kindle and came to the cemetery to watch her whereabouts.

For some reason, she felt that the Red Hood was more serious than she was about this matter. Whenever Rania felt bored waiting and wanted to find something to pass the time, he would immediately notice her small movements, causing Rania to I can only quickly pretend that I am concentrating on squatting, and also act as if I am in a state of anxiety...

In just two days, she fully experienced the feeling of deserting class in front of the principal, and she felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Why does he care so much about whether he is a perfect girlfriend with deep love and lifelessness?Rania was puzzled.

In short, under the strict requirements of the red hood, Raniya waited in the cemetery for two days, and the longer she waited, the more she felt a headache.

The perception ability of the black mist is limited, and Rania doesn't know who has visited the cemetery in the past two days, but there are more visitors than she imagined, and they are also more unusual than she imagined.

Damian and Joe have been here, Dick has been here, Bruce has been here, but other than that, there have been a lot of strange people, such as the day when he mistakenly thought that the red hood was a scumbag who beat him up with deep V and big breasts...Brother , such as a few people in red suits and red capes, such as a young lady who can speak sentences backwards, such as Superman in red underwear-what is he doing here?

Rania asked herself, and felt that Superman should not have come to thank her for the cat meal.

But that was enough to give Rania a headache.

She had never felt that disappearance was something that would cause a lot of trouble before. Her former guardian used disappearance as a habit, and the time became longer and longer each time. The shortest time was three days, and the longest time...hasn't come back yet.

As for his disappearance, he gave various explanations, each one more nonsense, from "exercise your ability to survive in the wild" to "exercise your ability to adapt to society", and in the end, he simply didn't even bother to find a reason, often just pulling Nia opened the door yawning in the morning, and saw a red figure on the sofa eating the cereal she had hoarded. When she came out, she waved to her and said "Hi" cheerfully.

So for her disappearance this time, Raniya didn't think it was a big deal at all, and she didn't even think about telling others that she knew that she disappeared in the cemetery... until she saw people coming and going in the cemetery, and remembered her own. What kind of impact will the disappearance bring, and for the first time I have a real sense of "disappearance".

When the sun rose on November 11, Rania had no expectations for her return.

"Why are you waiting with me?" she asked Red Hood, trying to kill boredom.

The red hood wasn't there all the time, but generally speaking, he spent his free time in the cemetery these two days, and he didn't speak when squatting, but occasionally looked in a certain direction, as if there was something worth noting there .

"You also heard Zatanna say that if the little girl has any chance of coming back, she will appear in the cemetery." Red Hood said.

Zatanna is that young lady who speaks sentences backwards, and here it is that the Red Hood has a wide circle of friends, and mentioning these magical people is almost a rare thing.

Rania felt that this was not a reason: "But..."

Before she finished speaking, her expression changed suddenly, and she looked towards the gate of the cemetery.

The girl in the red cloak suddenly appeared in the air, unable to catch up, and threw herself on the ground, about to fall.

Seeing herself appearing, Raniya didn't even think about it, and was about to jump out to catch herself, when the red hood suddenly grabbed her, and she fell from an unknown space over there, but did not fall, but fell on a certain place. on an invisible support.

The invisible support moved and hugged the unconscious girl, and Raniya also saw what the support was from the movement—it was a person's arms.

In addition to them, there was another person who had been waiting outside the cemetery, silently waiting for her to appear, and finally rushed up when she appeared, and caught her immediately.

"Is there someone there?" Raniya was shocked for a moment, "Who is he—no, what is he going to do to me...my girlfriend?!"

The red hood still stopped her: "He's been there for the past two days, didn't you notice?"

That person is not red and can't see anything, how did she find out?Rania was speechless.

She couldn't answer, so she could only sullenly face, and stood up murderously, intending to put on the sack of the bastard who coveted her, and snatch her human shell back.

But the Red Hood stopped her again.

"He's not a villain," he said. "Believe me, it's better for him to come out than you to come out, and he'll give your little girl back to ... her father."

"Why is it better than me?" Raniya was puzzled.

She lowered her voice: "Who is he?"

"..." Red Hood was silent for a few seconds, "Batman."

Rania had heard the tales of Gotham's Dark Knight, but that only confused her a little more—she remembered that saving people was Superman's business, and Batman wasn't in the business of sending girls home. For ordinary people in Tan, he is only responsible for spreading horror legends.

Most importantly - why would Batman guard her in the cemetery?

"Is he related to Bruce Wayne?" she asked.

The red hood avoided answering: "Maybe, there are many rumors on the Internet, but no one knows the truth."

He looked at the back of Batman going away, and looked away after a while: "Okay, let's go, you should be able to see her today."

……

After searching all night and still not finding any trace of Rania, before Damian decided to tell his father the news, Alfred, who stayed in the Batcave, discovered Rania's signal from the screen. disappearing fact.

Gotham isn't kind to the weak, and the disappearance of a person doesn't even make a splash in the city.In order to ensure Rania's safety, it is very necessary to know her real-time location, so without Rania's knowledge, the gadgets on her body have long been replaced with various locators to ensure her whereabouts It's all in Batman's grasp.

However, these positioning signals went off from the screen at the same time, and the little Shrike disappeared into the night of the city, like a drop of ink dripping into the lake, without a trace.

After hearing the news, Batman quickly launched a search for Rania, and Superman, who had heard what had happened from his son, also joined in, looking for the missing girl with the guilt-ridden Superboy. With the help of Tanna, the place where Rania disappeared was determined.

"Your daughter is weird," said one of the founders of the Justice League Dark.

Zatanna and Constantine have an intricate relationship, and she has also heard about Rania from him, but this time, she heard more details about Rania from Bruce, and she saw more details from it. many things.

"I know," Batman said, "tell me where she is."

"You can't go there," Zatanna said frankly, "I know where she is, but we can't go there. The living cannot reach the world of the dead, only the dead can reach it, but they will forget where they are after the resurrection. memory."

"Is she still alive?" Batman whispered.

Zatanna nodded, then shook her head again: "That's why I said she was weird, she was different."

She slowly said: "The living belong to the positive world, the human world is on the positive half axis of the coordinate axis, and the range that living people can see is also on the positive half axis, but she is different, her visual range covers the entire negative half axis, But only part of the life on the positive half axis can be seen..."

Speaking of this, Zatana considered for a moment, and said frankly: "She does not belong to the world."

Before leaving, Zatanna said that if Rania could return to the world from the land of the dead, she would appear in front of the cemetery. After getting the news, Bruce waited outside the cemetery.

During the two days of waiting, Batman thought a lot, and Bruce Wayne thought a lot.

What is he waiting for?What will he wait for?How many times has he waited, and what will happen this time?

When the morning sun leaped over the horizon on November 11nd, in the twilight of dawn, he looked at the gate of the cemetery again, and saw the girl who appeared out of thin air.

He caught her.Bruce thought.

The little girl fell asleep in his arms, her pockets were full of candies, and the sweet fragrance of flowers and fruits lingered, as if she had just gone to a neighbor's house to beg for candies on Halloween, and was so tired that she fell asleep in her father's arms.

Every candy was lying in the pocket obediently, and none of them leaked out. Bruce vaguely saw many names written on the candy, but he didn't look carefully.

He noticed that Raniya's right hand was clenched tightly, as if she was holding something, so he stretched out his hand and gently pulled her fingers away.

A beautifully wrapped candy rolled from her palm and fell into Bruce's palm.

Batman's footsteps suddenly stopped.

This candy was wrapped in a simple white sugar wrapper, which was extra firm to hold, and his name was scrawled in thin handwriting on the sugar wrapper.

—To my dear Bruce.

Bruce has seen this handwriting in many places, on the Gotham revitalization plan, on the Kane family documents, on the birthday card, and on the title page of every book he receives.

Wait for her to wake up.Bruce thought.

He had a lot of questions to ask Rania, about where she went, about why she ended up in the land of the dead... but suddenly, these questions became irrelevant, the prepared words scabbed off the tip of his tongue, Painful memories melted, condensed, and solidified over the years, and finally turned into this candy in his palm, which came to him from the far shore.

For the first time, Batman suddenly didn't want to control a thing.

He watched for a long time, then slowly put the candy back into Rania's pocket and closed the zipper.

The little girl quietly closed her eyes, ignorant of the mighty vibrations in the chest she was clinging to tightly.

"Sleep well," her father said.
