Anti-Hero Lola [Comprehensive Anglo-American]

"... This is Carmen, my temporary assistant," said the Penguin. "She is still very young and new to this line of work, but I think she is very talented."

Lola herself didn't know why Penguin admired her so much.

Could it be because a group of his minions were killed by her without any power to fight back?

Although this is actually very much in line with the values ​​​​of Gotham people... In their view, the killing of their subordinates can only show that this subordinate is useless. If the people who killed his subordinates are willing to work for them, then of course what happened in the past It is entirely possible to let bygones be bygones.

But Penguin isn't the totally chaotic type.

Although it is a shame to say that he is a decent businessman, and his "seriousness" is all set off by his peers, but in Gotham, Penguin is really a serious businessman.

This guy actually pays taxes!

Of course, what he pays taxes are all commercial activities that are on the surface, and the illegal transactions behind the scenes still don’t pay taxes... But another way of thinking, he used the money he earned to bribe Gotham up and down the money... It can be regarded as another level of taxation.

Sure enough, a thousand words can only be boiled down to one sentence.

Gotham is amazing!

"It's a pity to meet you here, Carmen," said the newcomer. "Does a little girl like you have such a dangerous job?"

Lola finally turned her attention from the overhead interrogation to the other party.

this person……

He looked a little -- dangerous.

Laura raised her head and stared at him: "Hello, Mr. Luther. Nice to meet you."

Lex Luthor returned a courteous smile, then turned his gaze back to Penguin.

"Let's talk alone, old friend." He raised his hand to shake Penguin kindly, and gave Moxi another wink.

Before the penguin opened his mouth to speak, Laura followed Moxi and left the room in a very sensible manner.

They wait outside the door.

Both of them seem to have nothing to do on the surface.

But Laura is not idle at all, she is still watching Batman's interrogation.

"Hello," Mercy offered, giving Lola a big-sister smile.

"Hello," Laura said.

"My name is Mercy, and I think I know it already," Mercy went on. "I know your name too, Carmen, don't I?"

"It's not my name, it's my code name," Lola replied, "like Batman is Batman's code name. It's just that my code name doesn't feel like a code name, it sounds more like a name."

"Sorry, I admitted my mistake." Mercy apologized.

"It's okay." Laura said, "Is Mercy your name? I've heard of you, on TV. I remember you were the secretary to the president of the Lex Group."

"It's my name." Mercy smiled kindly. "It's not quite a name, I know."

"That's not enough." Laura laughed.

When she smiles, she always has a sense of purity, which makes people have to sigh that there is no such thing as being born from the heart in this world. What a person looks like is born, and has nothing to do with her personality.

Even knowing how similar she was to the boss, Moxi couldn't help being stunned by the smile.

"Just as a name, it sounds so contrived. Did Mr. Luther give it to you?" Laura asked. The kind of boss who blocks guns?"

"Uh……"

"He named you Mercy, but I don't think he has such a thing as mercy."

"..."

Mercy didn't know what to say.

Laura raised her head and smiled at her: "Why don't you talk anymore?"

Penguin and Mr. Luthor didn't talk for long. After about 15 minutes, they came out of the room and shook hands to say goodbye.

Laura felt that they were each very happy with what they paid and what they got.

She stood idly on the side in a daze and kicked the wall, kicking once in a while, kicking again after a while - Lex seemed to smile a little for her childish behavior.

Laura noticed it sensitively, she immediately stopped her movements, raised her head, and stared at Lex vigilantly.

"You're a smart little girl, my dear, I've seen that since we first met." He looked at Laura with a calm tone, "But you shouldn't scare my secretary—she's a loyal follower." Your Majesty, she means a lot to me and to my business."

Believe it or not, Laura thought.

"I understand, Mr. Luther." Laura said obediently, "I won't do this in the future."

Luther's smile deepened a little.

"You are lovely," he said. "In that case, let me give you one more little hint, which you may also take as a piece of advice."

"What?" Laura asked.

"Don't take a position further to the left," Luther said softly, "and don't push too hard."

He smiled and nodded towards Laura, "The headgear suits you very well."

Laura blinked and looked at Luther's back.

Penguin was coming, and she quickly kicked the wall again—a little to the left, more strength—and trotted to keep up with Penguin who was awkwardly pushing through the gate.

"Mr. Luther admires you very much." Penguin said, "Actually, Luther is the one who discovered you—when I asked for cooperation, he laughed at me for not even knowing who killed my subordinates." I know, and then I hired Artemis to catch you."

"I understand, Mr. Penguin," Lola replied sweetly, "You don't have to explain this to me—I'm not a little girl anymore! I know I've broken your rules with a lot of things I've done since I came to Gotham, and you've already Takes it easy on me."

Penguin narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

"Now, go back, Carmen," he said. "I have something to say to my old rival."

"Okay, Mr. Penguin."

Laura turned and left without hesitation.

Penguin's two subordinates followed immediately, and they escorted them all the way to monitor Laura—Penguin didn't really trust Laura, so it's not so much that he brought Laura to this transaction site because of his trust in Laura. Said he was there to show off and demonstrate to Lex Luthor who just laughed at him.

And Laura?Of course she had absolutely, absolutely no idea what was going on, she just happily accepted the first job the Penguin gave her and happily finished it.

Now she will happily return to her temporary residence, and then go out for a big meal with Artemis.

——But before that, there is still a little thing to do.

Laura stopped suddenly.

The two people following her immediately tensed up.

"I feel something is wrong," Laura said seriously, "I feel the ground is shaking, and I also heard something that is not right. It seems to be..." She hesitated and said uncertainly, " ...It seems that the building behind is about to collapse!"

The two following her looked at each other, and Lola saw their strange expressions from behind their masks.

"You..." one of them said.

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang behind him.

That building didn't completely collapse.

It only collapsed a small side of the second floor, but the collapsed part has already caused the entire building to crumble.

The two people following Laura gasped and rushed into the building without looking back: the penguin is still in the basement!

At this critical juncture, who has time to care about how Laura will go back?

And Laura just stood there, tiptoeing, watching them rush into the building, shaking her head and lamenting that this group of people is quite loyal.

She turned around and ran quickly to the collapsed second floor.

——Presumably in various disaster drills and various popular science videos, everyone has heard how to deal with sudden and violent fires, earthquakes and various unexpected situations.

If you are facing a fire, you should cover your mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, bend down, and move against the wall. This is to prevent suffocation and poisoning caused by excessive smoke inhalation.

If you are facing an earthquake, you have to respond according to the situation: if the floor is low and the earthquake is not strong, you should give priority to leaving the building and go to an open place; if the floor is high, the first thing to do is to find a suitable shelter. In case of being injured by collapsing buildings.

What is a suitable cover?

Sturdy desks, chairs, bookshelves, and large furniture make suitable shelters, and everyone knows that.

But the corner of a small space is also a very good shelter - because even if the building collapses, as long as the luck is not too bad, the corner of the wall will collapse into a small triangular space. According to the principle of the most stable triangle, this small triangular space is likely to It will bring protection and vitality to the victims.

Lola hummed happily, and flew all the way to the collapsed position without touching her feet.

This is the corner of a small space.

Laura ignored the bloody and bloody traces under the stone slab not far away, and flew to the corner excitedly.

Then, gently and slowly, she lifted the fallen panel.

She met a pair of gray eyes.

No, it's an off-white eye patch.

Laura lifted the wallboard with one hand, stared at the gray blindfold for a while, and suddenly pursed her lips——

The other party moved slightly back to hide.

"Hey!" Laura was upset, "Why are you hiding? I don't want to kiss you!"

She glared at the person opposite, pursed her lips again, and blew lightly at him.

Dust fell from his mask and chin, making him a little embarrassed.

Finally, Laura couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

Batman watched her silently.
