[Comprehensive Anglo-American] Vampire Love Story

Vanessa pretends to be ignorant of the Batman's identity.

At this time, I have to praise her superb acting skills, as well as the innocent and lovely look she pretended to deliberately control her facial expressions.

Who can not be moved by the smile of a young and beautiful girl?

It really does.

Like Bruce Wayne sitting on the couch.

Even if Vanessa's acting skills can fool Dick, Tim and the others, and even Tony because of her close relationship, she can't hide from Batman's eyes.

The moment Vanessa entered the door, Bruce was keenly aware of something wrong with her eyes.Although the little girl was well controlled, the flash of shock and even fright in her eyes was too obvious.

It's far from a "thrilled to see a Gotham dude in the paper" explanation.

Bruce put down the tea cup in his hand calmly, and nodded at Tony, still with an unruly smile on his face: "Some things are upstairs, if you don't mind, please come with me to the study to discuss in detail. "

Feeling Mr. Wayne's gaze resting on her body, Vanessa's neck chilled for no reason, and she always felt that she would be executed on the spot by this Gotham knight in a second.

Has Bruce Wayne discovered that I know his identity?But it shouldn't be possible... Vanessa was tangled in her heart, and for the first time she felt embarrassed and guilty about her abilities.

Thinking about it differently, if she was in Bruce Wayne's position, she would never want to be known about her true identity.After all, this is really too dangerous. If it is spread maliciously, not to mention your own safety, it may even cause large-scale riots in Gotham City.

If I were Bruce Wayne, I would definitely want to solve this...

Once this idea entered her mind, Vanessa couldn't help but secretly raised her vigilance.

So, as soon as Bruce turned his head, he saw the guarded look of the little girl brought by Tony, whose hair was about to explode. He was always nervous and rarely laughed in his heart.Even if Bruce wasn't sure Vanessa knew something at first, seeing her now would make it clear.

The little girl was still too young and innocent.

And such a girl is definitely not suitable to live in Gotham.

Bruce Wayne, who originally planned to test Vanessa's depth, changed his strategy. After arriving at the study, he pretended to be ignorant and started chatting with Tony.

Coincidentally, the circumstances of the two of them are so similar that when they really want to chat, they won't have nothing to say.

The indoor atmosphere is good, and Vanessa, who has nothing to do, feels that she almost falls asleep on the soft sofa in Wayne's house.At this moment, Bruce Wayne stood up suddenly: "After talking so much, I almost forgot the business." He walked around to the bookcase next to Vanessa, opened a small drawer in the middle, and took out a wooden box with carved patterns. Long box.

From the moment Bruce got up, Vanessa's eyes never moved away from him.Her heart was pounding. She hoped to see the items left behind by her mother, but also had a fear similar to that of being close to home.

Feeling the girl's gaze glued to him, Bruce sat down next to Vanessa in a casual manner.He placed the box on the table, and Vanessa's eyes moved accordingly.

At this moment, Bruce suddenly said coldly: "You know our identities."

"Well, I know—" Vanessa's words stopped abruptly.She was horrified to find that because of her distraction just now, she unconsciously revealed her true inner thoughts.

Vanessa almost jumped out of the seat behind Tony.She propped her hands tightly on the soft cushions of the sofa, feeling dizzy.

Damn it!Why did you suddenly admit it!Vanessa's hands trembled a little, and a hundred and eight ways for Batman to deal with her flashed through her mind——

In any case, she died a miserable death.

"Okay, Bruce, don't scare her." Tony, who felt Vanessa's fright, rolled his eyes fiercely, "I told you a long time ago that Vanessa is a mutant, and this is her ability."

Knowing Bruce's incomparable love for Gotham deeply, Tony told the other party at the beginning of the visit that the little girl Vanessa he brought was a mutant—as for her abilities, Tony decided to let Bruce guessed for himself.

"So, your ability is to see everyone's true identity?"

Bruce Wayne without a smile on his face is cold and serious to the point of horror, but now he is obviously more in line with Vanessa's imagination of "Batman".

Faced with such Bruce, Vanessa quickly calmed down.She nodded: "It can be said so. My ability is to see the soul fire above everyone's head."

Meeting Bruce's indifferent eyes, Vanessa immediately added: "The fire of the soul above everyone's head is red. There are some slight differences due to age, physical condition and other reasons. The flames of superheroes will be brighter. Some...well, sometimes, the shape is different."

Cautiously, she glanced up at Batman's expression.Although his face was still pale, at least Vanessa didn't feel murderous.

That's enough, and Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, it's mainly the night before, Nightwing—I mean Mr. Grayson saved my life, so I'm impressed by his soul fire."

Thinking of that night, she said with lingering fear: "Thanks to him, I can stand here intact now."

I see.Bruce raised his eyebrows: "This is his responsibility."

As he said this, he secretly made a note of Dick in his heart.

It was really negligent to not notice such important information and clues.

"Mutants? But even though the reasons you give now are reasonable and excusable, you still have our biggest secret, which is a huge threat to us."

It's rare for Bruce to talk so much, and he only explained it for Tony's sake.If it were an ordinary person, he would only yell out in a hoarse voice: "Get out of my Gotham!"

Too bad Tony didn't appreciate it at all.

"It's almost enough for Bruce." Tony said mercilessly, "We just want to see if there is anything we want here, and we will attend a charity dinner by the way."

"We are not interested in your Gotham, and we will leave when the time comes."

Tony raised his hand and assured: "I can be responsible for all the actions of Vanessa during Gotham."

Tony stood up and blocked Bruce's eyes from Vanessa.He and Bruce looked at each other for a moment, as if they had reached some kind of silent agreement.Bruce chuckled, and slumped down on the couch again.

He turned back into playboy Bruce Wayne.

"This box is what Ms. Xie Jia left behind at the hotel." Bruce pushed the long wooden box to Vanessa, "You can open it to make sure."

Vanessa pinched the soft flesh of her palm with her nails, and then opened the box with shaking hands——

A small bowknot pendant, and scattered crystal beads in a small box alone.

A familiar atmosphere lingered around her, and Vanessa could almost hear her mother calling to herself in her unique gentle tone, "My little Rose, come here quickly, come to Mommy."

Tony took a tissue for her and patted her shoulder silently.

Bruce was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Sorry."

"You don't have to feel sorry, I would like to thank you for your generosity this time." Vanessa smiled, "It is really a pleasure to meet my mother again."

Even though she said that, Vanessa's eyes were blurred the moment she spoke.

The turbulent emotions turned into tears in the eye sockets, and they would drip in the blink of an eye.

Knowing that it was impossible, she still couldn't help but start fantasizing, if her mother was still...if she was still...

And Vanessa's words also evoked some vague and vivid memories of Bruce - Vanessa was not the only one who experienced the physical and mental torture and pain brought about by the loss of a loved one.It's just that Bruce is different from Vanessa, he doesn't want to immerse himself in the past for even a second.

"It is said that it was found in the room where Ms. Xie Jia stayed at the Wanden Hotel." Bruce said again, out of his own requirements and control, his tone at the moment was particularly rigid and indifferent, "Because the jade pendant hung on it is opposite to each other." It is more valuable, so after the accident, this accessory was stolen and auctioned on the black market. When we found it, this was the only thing left."

Tony frowned: "So that jade is still missing?"

Bruce nodded silently: "It's so small—"

"That jade is not important." Vanessa carefully took out the rough bow, her eyes lingering on it, "The most 'valuable' part has come back."

Xie Jia spent an afternoon teaching Vanessa, who was ten years old, to complete this disliked crooked bow and the broken beads.

Gently stroking the yellowish fabric of the bow with her fingers, Vanessa suddenly said, "She wasn't in the hotel at the time."

Xie Jia jokingly referred to this thing as a "talisman"—she always carried it with her.

Bruce nodded: "The explosion that year actually did not cause much damage to the Wanden Hotel. If she stayed in the hotel, she would not have suffered such serious injuries."

Vanessa was silent for a moment, and she asked, "So she just left and went to the worst part of the blast zone?"

"I sent someone to check her housing records. It showed that she was supposed to check out on June 6, but she left the hotel on June 7 and disappeared."

This time even Tony realized something was wrong.He turned his phone: "And this explosion happened on the afternoon of June 6—so she didn't even come home as scheduled."

This is so abnormal.Tony vaguely remembered that Ms. Xie who had to rush home to accompany her daughter in the middle of the night.

"She must have left in a hurry, that's why she even forgot this thing in the Wan Deng Hotel."

Vanessa looked up into Bruce's eyes.After learning that her mother died of a strange cause, she burst out with 12 energy and courage: "Who is the source of that explosion?"

"...it's the clown." Bruce suddenly felt his throat dry again, and he was almost unwilling to answer this question.

The mother of the little girl in front of me died in the explosion caused by the Joker—she died in Gotham.

It was Gotham that made her understand loss and pain prematurely when she was still a teenager.

As if guessing what Vanessa wanted to ask, Bruce then said, "About your mother, I have some investigation results."

He looked at Tony, Tony nodded, and then Bruce said: "At that time, someone in the UK sent a private detective to investigate your mother-I didn't mean to offend, but she was indeed photographed with an extremely beautiful and innocent girl. The woman behaved intimately. The woman moved strangely, even extremely fast. She never seemed willing to appear in the dark. I tried to send someone to find her, but nothing was found."

Hearing this, Vanessa suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Bruce's blue eyes were like a night sky lit up by stars in the dark. The moment he blinked, it seemed as if a shooting star had passed by. "I suspect that he is not human at all. He is most likely to be a supernatural creature like a vampire."

This conclusion even feels ridiculous to Bruce himself, and he even feels like a sophistry coward trying to shirk responsibility, "I know you may not believe in the existence of this type of creature, or think that this is what we do to you. Perfunctory and deceitful—"

The existence of vampires is no secret to them.After all, on this earth where both aliens and gods appear, vampires are not really unacceptable.

But this is for him, for Batman.Bruce had no way of knowing what the girl in front of him who wasn't even full was thinking.

"On the contrary." Vanessa smiled indifferently, "If she is really a vampire, that would be great."

Wayne can almost be regarded as the conclusive findings of the investigation, and Rachel's specious words... All kinds of clues merged into a thread in Vanessa's mind.

Her mother, Xie Jia, is most likely also a vampire singer.

This is really bloody, and Vanessa doesn't know what expression she should make now.

What she had joked about with Sherlock had come true.

She remembered the assumption Sherlock had made when the two of them were talking—

"What if a vampire singer is a married human being, or if the human being is heterosexual but he happens to be the same sex as the vampire?"

Thinking of this, Vanessa took a deep breath: "Please tell me all the known information about her."

Vanessa probably didn't even realize that her cold eyes now seemed to be about to kill someone with a knife in the next second-the kind of body that would be broken into pieces, without hesitation and recklessness.

Thinking that her mother might have been implicated by her accident, the smile on Vanessa's face became even more distorted.

This made Bruce say coldly: "Miss Xie, this is Gotham."

Although he was also annoyed that such a strange species had been mixed into Gotham, he would never allow anyone to act recklessly here.

"I know." Vanessa met Bruce's eyes, and she refused to budge, "But this is a vampire's entanglement, Mr. Wayne, and of course the vampire has to deal with it."

The air is filled with the smell of sex.Tony laughed and watched the two confront each other, without any intention of trying to persuade them to fight.

The low-to-freezing atmosphere was broken by Bruce's chuckle. He looked at the girl in front of him and showed Brucey's signature smile: "You mean, you belong to a vampire?"

Vanessa also responded with a polite smirk: "Yes, Mr. Wayne."

She has never thanked herself for meeting Caius like this moment—because of Caius, now she has the courage and capital to pretend to be a tiger.

"Reserve vampire—Vanessa She Volturi, at your service."

The author has something to say: It's a pity Caius didn't hear 23333 this time
