Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

What is the price of this game, Laura has forgotten.

But she still remembers the feeling of lingering fear, so this subconscious game, which is said to use the most advanced technology and can replace sleep time, must have cost a lot of money and a lot of effort to buy.

As soon as she bought it, she couldn't help but started playing. Once she started playing, she forgot what happened in reality.

Laura opened the game panel to look at her game time, and it showed that only two hours had passed in the real world—and she had been in the game for at least two weeks.

This game is literally Second Life!

She quickly put her worries behind her.

It was almost dawn, and Batman was back in the Batmobile, and Lola watched it disappear into Gotham's sewer entrance.

The twisty underground labyrinth is so chaotic, and some sections seem to contain material that blocks perspective, that Lola loses Batman after staring at the Batmobile for a moment.

She wasn't in a hurry to meet Batman, anyway, she was in this city now, so she wasn't afraid of not meeting him.

But Batman's mentality is not as optimistic as Lola.

He was busy looking for clues to the laboratory that was placed under the hotel, and was overwhelmed by a large pile of evidence and various files that needed to be sorted out carefully. Therefore, he took the person he met in the hotel The mysterious girl who arrived gave Red Robin.

"I found someone according to the position you gave me, but the other party is not the 'red-haired, green-eyed, 14-year-old' little girl you described," Red Robin reported to him, "but a 23-year-old girl. The poisonous head, I found the three locators you dropped on him."

Batman said, "Describe the poison you saw."

"Medium build, medium height, medium looks, the kind of person you can't find on the street. But his hair is quite distinctive." Red Robin said, "I investigated him, but this little poisonous head , you know, their whereabouts are chaotic and they live in no fixed place, and it is time-consuming to investigate in detail."

Batman said, "I see. Did you get anything out of him?"

"He has indeed met the person you mentioned, but he doesn't know the little girl at all. According to him, he was wandering on the road one day, and after seeing her, he had a bad intention, and was caught as a driver of 'Lola' ;After sending her to the destination, she let him go and gave him a few bags of high-purity powder as a reward. He took the things and didn't dare to leave, so he wandered around there. Then it's what you told me .”

Batman nodded.

"Do you really think she's a suspect? She's the one who got you out of the hotel herself," said Red Robin. "I don't think it's necessary to suspect her. So far no one has announced the matter." Responsible, and no one benefits from this whole thing, except you."

The people invited to the party that day included a small half of the Upper East Side of Gotham City, but the other half combined couldn't compare to a Bruce Wayne.

Regardless of his identity on the surface or in the dark, Bruce Wayne is much more expensive than them.

"There is no evidence to clear her suspicion." Batman said in a low voice, "I will continue to follow up on this task, and you will be responsible for 'Lola'."

"Understood." Red Robin accepted the order.

He was new to the job and Batman remembers this little boy coming to his door and telling him, "I know you're Batman and I know you lost Robin and I want to be your new Robin" At that time, how shocked and resistant he felt in his heart.

But this little boy soon impressed Batman with his diligence, rationality, intelligence, and most importantly, his persistence and tenacity. He became Batman's new assistant and gained Batman's support during the mission. trust.

As for Red Robin's predecessor...

Batman closed his eyes wearily.

Maybe it's because I have stayed up late and worked for too long, and the bat cave is too humid.

He felt chills all over his body, and his bones felt cold.

But as always, the pain didn't stop him from working, it just made him more cautious and engaged.

When he was busy looking for the truth, he was not idle. He also took time to solve a riddle of the Riddler and quelled two riots in Arkham Mental Hospital.

But the truth hidden behind the underground laboratory of that hotel is still elusive. Many people are on Batman's suspicion list, but everyone is excluded by him for various reasons.

He sifted through all the gangsters in Gotham City, and he was absolutely sure that this laboratory could never be the work of those old opponents he was familiar with.

——The forces standing behind the laboratory are forces from outside Gotham.

Or worse.

The force behind the laboratory is the mysterious shadow behind Gotham City that has never left, and even Batman can only find clues.

Whatever it was, Batman was sure he'd find the answer.

On this day, he worked all night again.

When Alfred knocked on the door, Bruce realized that he was hungry and that it was already the second night.

Bruce Wayne has an opera tonight.

After such a tragedy happened, and luckily because of the reason of "drinking too much, I felt that the injury I suffered from the skydiving last time was split, so I left early", after brushing shoulders with death, there was no separation. Been socializing for the last few days - that sounds gross.

But there is no way, this is Bruce Wayne's style.

He hurriedly changed into the neatly pressed suit by Alfred, and drove to the Gotham City Coliseum.

When the car was halfway through, he called an emergency stop: "Stop, stop—stop beside that young lady."

Laura raised her head in response.

"Bruce?" She stopped and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I still want to ask you, Laura," Bruce smiled at Laura, "I've been looking for you."

"Why are you in such a hurry to find me? Life is very long, and it will be tiring to care so much for anyone who passes by casually."

"You're not just passing by," Bruce said tenderly, "You saved my life."

——and after calling and analyzing the surveillance video of the entire Gotham City, Red Robin has been unable to find her whereabouts.

Of course, this does not mean that she is the one who caused the tragedy, but it means that her suspicion is getting bigger and bigger.

Thinking of this, Bruce smiled more gently. This smile could be ranked first in the list of "The Most Criminal Smiles in the World", if there really was such a ranking.

Laura laughed too.

Her dress today is very simple, it is a peacock blue sleeveless satin one-piece dress, the side waist is tied up with a tea-colored chiffon belt, her feet are made of bright red, and pointed-toe high-heeled shoes decorated with pale gold.

The style is a little too pretty, so this dress is definitely not impossible to attend the funeral.

But it can be worn for any occasion other than a funeral, especially since Lola also has jewelry, a pair of round pearl ear clips.

Tucked between her lace-tipped hair, they're elegant and understated enough.

And pearls never go wrong.

"Your car and your people are too visible," Laura said, looking slightly sideways at Bruce. "May I get in the car?"

"Of course." Bruce walked down immediately, stood aside, and held the car door for Lola, "Please."

His eyes are in Laura's hair

Luo pulled up the hem of her skirt and got into the car.

"I hope I didn't disturb your elegant mood. I heard that disturbing a beautiful lady while she is shopping is one of the rudest and disrespectful behaviors a gentleman can do." The first thing Bruce did was to apologize, "If I mess up your plans for tonight—"

"I don't have a plan," Lola said, following his lead, "I'm just hanging out."

"What a coincidence. I was worried about going to the opera alone tonight. Are you interested in opera?"

"I haven't seen the opera. Is it fun?"

"There are quite a few people who can't appreciate the fun of it," Bruce replied, "but it's worth anyone trying."

"And orphans?" Lola asked. "And bums, whores, and drug addicts?"

"It's worth trying for anyone," Bruce said softly, "and of course 'anyone' includes orphans, bums, whores and crackheads."

Laura turned her head and looked at Bruce seriously.

"You are so much better than the rumors," she said. "Why do people ignore what you did to Gotham? You are the superhero of this city. Compared with you, Batman is at best a Clever fighter."

She paused for a moment, then suddenly said: "Even Batman can be regarded as a superhero... This city really sucks."

Even if Batman is unruly and brutal, he's doing good anyway.

——Only in a city where the order has fundamentally collapsed, people will have the idea of ​​​​breaking the pot.

This is the first time Bruce Wayne has received such an evaluation.

There was a look of surprise on his face, and even the driver in the front seat, who had always been deaf to what happened in the back seat, glanced at Laura's face through the rearview mirror.

"It's the first time I've heard anyone say that," Bruce said.

"It's okay, don't be discouraged, it's because most people are fools who follow what others say." Laura comforted, "They can't see through the truth behind your ignorant playboy. You are the hero of this city, absolutely. "

Bruce can't help but wonder if he's been identified, and Lola is implying that she already knows Bruce Wayne is Batman in an arguably blunt way.

But Lola's tone of voice and eyes are so sincere, and when they first met, Bruce could see that Lola was... naive at best, childish at worst.

She will appreciate Bruce Wayne's handsomeness, but her appreciation is still at a very young stage, a pure "appreciation" stage.

She has no rejection of physical contact with the opposite sex, not out of wantonness, but purely because her gender concept is still very vague, maybe it is about the same as a seven or eight-year-old girl, and she looks at least fourteen or five years old , at this age, with her appearance, it is not surprising that she has had two or three passionate relationships.

Bruce has a little suspicion that she once lived a very closed life, was trained as an assassin or something, otherwise it is difficult to explain her high interest in everything, her unusual attitude, and her confusing past .

Their ensuing conversation also bears this out.
