Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]
Chapter 20 The Past
Artemis didn't ask anything, she took Lola directly back to her temporary residence, and then just watched Lola throw herself on the bed, holding her mobile phone, and started calling Bruce or Tim.
She spends more time chatting with Tim, and relatively less time chatting with Bruce—but Artemis said that both Bruce and Tim seem to be too patient and tolerant of Laura.
They must have some purpose, they must want to get something from Laura.
But she herself doesn't seem to have the right to blame them.
But that doesn't stop Artemis from hating Bruce and Tim.
She especially doesn't like Tim.
There was something nasty about that little boy—something about Bruce that was nasty, but he was a handsome man, and Artemis didn't like him, but a man's The slickness is actually not obvious on him.
And that kind of breath is especially obvious on the little boy, and it is not cute at all, it will only make people uncomfortable.
It's a pity that Laura won't listen to the advice, Artemis knows it without trying.
"...You said that Bruce has not allowed you to really participate in his work so far?" Laura lay on the bed with a bag of extra-sized potato chips in her hand, nodding frequently while eating, "Yeah. Hmm. I Listening. I know what's going on..."
"So," Tim said, still tapping his fingers on his laptop, trying to pinpoint Lola's location through her signal, "do you have any suggestions?"
"You can't handle your dad by yourself - don't tell me he is not your father in your heart - but come to ask me how to handle him?"
"Because you seem to be pretty good at him," Tim said.
"Oh, it's not that I'm good at dealing with him, it's that his attitude towards girls is much better than that of boys..." Laura laughed, "He has a very good temper, as long as he doesn't touch his bottom line, he can say a few nice words to coax him Just coax it."
There were faint traces of sweat on Tim's forehead, and he stared at the screen with a serious face, his eyes widened, which made him seem a little perfunctory when he replied to Laura: "You said it lightly."
"You're too close to him, Tim, so you can't see what he's really thinking." Laura turned over on the bed, and she was lying face up on the big bed, listening to the ringing from the phone. Hitting sound: This sound was extremely small and was hidden in the howling wind, but it still couldn't escape her ears.
Whether it's Bruce or Tim, or Artemis - they're all so bad at hiding their secrets.
Laura couldn't believe it. They put the truth in front of people, but no one found out.
Maybe the people who found out chose to keep silent?
But according to Laura's observations these days, Bruce's little secrets have really never been discovered. Tim may have been the one who discovered this secret on his own initiative, so he got the opportunity to join Bruce's family; In addition, even the Penguin has not discovered this secret.
It's a pity that he is also known as one of Batman's sworn enemies.
"The more I get to know you, the more interesting your family is," Laura said. "In this family, Bruce has the highest power just like the patriarch of the Middle Ages, and you are his loyal and ambitious sons." Juniors—this kind of family model is bound to go wrong, Tibbo."
"I'm willing to admit that Bruce has flaws in his character, but you're taking it too seriously." Tim responded with some concentration to Laura, "And you've only known Bruce and me so far. You don't know Dick yet. You know Dick, don't you?"
"Dick Grayson, the former aerialist, adopted by Bruce after witnessing the tragedy of his parents," Lola said, "Jason Todd, the gangster from Crime Alley, who was rumored to have stolen Bruce's wallet. And became Bruce's second adopted son. I know you three."
Tim didn't speak, but the movements of his hands slowed down.
On the one hand, he found it impossible to locate Laura's address based on her mobile phone signal; on the other hand, a premonition of danger enveloped him, making him tense up.
Did she find out?He thought, this can't be a coincidence, can it?
When we met last time, her words were very meaningful, but he didn't pay much attention to them. This time, she almost made it clear... But her tone was not very similar, as if she was simply being Bruce's behavior arouses interest.
"You know the three of us," Tim said slowly, "and then you come up with your assessment of Bruce's family?"
Lola on the other end of the phone can almost hear Tim's brain whizzing by.
Gee, he's so cute, Laura thought contentedly.
"I don't need to know the three of you to know the status quo of your family." Laura said, "Bruce's desire to control has spread to me, and I'm still just a friend he doesn't make very seriously. Your lives You can imagine what it's like."
Tim suddenly asked, "Is this your cell phone number?"
"For the time being," Laura replied. She took the phone up to her eyes, played with it in her hand, and then put it back to her ear. "It was given to me by another friend of mine. She Very interesting. Another day to introduce you to each other."
It was given to me by someone behind another friend, Lola added silently in her mind.
But there's no need to talk so much to Tim, is there?
His personality is really great, but his personality is so good that he always wants to control everything and arrange it properly like Bruce.
And that's actually quite annoying.
Tim called up Laura's file, and found Artemis's connection column in the sparse information without any difficulty.
He spent another minute quickly browsing through Artemis' long, long, and several-page task list and completion status, as well as the various honors and evaluations she had received.
This woman is not a good stubble.
His eyes stayed on the connection column of Artemis, and stayed on one of the names for a long time.
There is no definite evidence to prove the connection between Artemis and this person, but the appearance of his name here already shows that Artemis is very likely to work for him.
——This woman is not a good opponent, but the person who may be her behind-the-scenes supporter is the real formidable opponent.
"Her?" Tim asked pretending to be nonchalant. "Any other friends you made in Gotham?"
"Yes," Laura said, "her name is Artemis."
"Goddess of the Moon? Are you sure that's a real name?"
"I'm sure. But it doesn't matter if it's not her real name, as long as I know 'Artemis'." Laura said, "I'm not interested in the part other than 'Artemis'."
"That sounds a little grim."
"Really?" Lola was taken aback, and she asked again hastily, "Really?"
It felt really weird, and a little scary.
Being judged by a character in the game that the tone of speech is too cold or something.
Laura felt a little terrified: No way, is there any strange hidden setting in this game?Like "smart awakening" or something?
Now she remembered the game she had played in the past. It seemed to be a horror decryption game. After entering the game, the player would be confused for a long time and could not find any clues to the decryption.
The whole process of the game is that the player wanders alone in the weird and weird world, and every NPC he meets and talks to is evasive to him. After a long and clueless wandering, the player will be noticed Odd NPCs work together to kill.
This game and its selling point is "Intelligent Awakening".
That is to say, the characters in the game world will realize that they are living in a game world in the strange behavior of the protagonist, and finally kill the protagonist in anger and fear.
——Maybe one of the hidden lines of this game is "Intelligence Awakening", and the game characters who sense something wrong with her will work together to kill her someday in the future.
Oddly enough, the possibility of being killed didn't frighten Lola.
She was excited instead—as excited as she had been when Bruce had taken him to the opera the other day.
Laura could feel that the blood flow inside her body was speeding up, her skin was slightly hot, and intense emotions surged in her body, making her wish she could rush out of the room right now, and wipe away Al, who was wiping the giant sword next door. One more beating...
"Really." Tim on the other end of the phone didn't know what happened to Laura, and he continued to say, "Although Bruce has many opinions and practices that I disagree with, he thinks you should leave Gotham as soon as possible. The point is right—”
He considered it for a moment, then decided to tell the truth.
"Lola, Bruce and I all agree that you can't necessarily resist the atmosphere of Gotham. A peaceful and friendly city will do you good."
And Lola still covered her face and said nothing: she knew in her heart that Tim was right.
When she first entered the game, she didn't feel the abnormality of her body, but as time passed, she gradually realized the problem of this body.
First of all, her emotions become separated from herself.
It's not that her emotions have become thinner or dull, it's just that she can clearly feel her mood changes in many cases, but these changes will not affect her overall state and thinking performance at all, and will not affect her next steps. What is the impact of what is being done.
This trend was already evident when it was born in the basement of Gotham City.
The scene that was completely beyond the tolerance of normal people actually only made her uncomfortable for a while, but did not affect her mood at that time.
And when she just left the sewer, she killed those people—she thought that what she saw in the sewer raised her tolerance threshold, but she killed a few people very calmly, and she can still be happy after the incident Heartily carrying the money to go shopping for clothes... because she really didn't feel any discomfort.
No discomfort at all.
—— Was she like this in the past?Wasn't she like this in the past?
The author has something to say: Thank you Miaoxue Shock, Pingyi, Wuyue Yulang, and whoever accompanied me for throwing a landmine countdown!
Thanks Chocobo for throwing 1 grenade!
