Chapter 358: Birthday Present

Earth, Gotham City,

Located in the city's central district, a toy store with people walking through.

"Spring outing?!"

The excited shouts passed through the purported bulletproof and soundproof glass doors of the storefront and carried out into the street, causing passers-by to turn their heads strangely.

In the toy store, Li Zuzheng placed the demonic toys on the toy shelves.

The toy store, which is already gloomy and oppressive, is even more eerie at this time, with zombies, lickers, tyrants, and even demons on the shelves exuding a strange aura that makes the heart tremble.

But there is a small figure, but it is completely unaffected, holding a box of toys and helping Li Zu to load the goods for free.

The shout just now came from his mouth.

Li Zu looked at the excited lightning boy and said helplessly: "It's not a spring outing, a simple dinner, a family barbecue." ”

"That's a spring outing!" The Lightning Kid has a very confusing attachment to the word "stepping spring".

Shirley walked past Li Zu and said, "Do you want to call Youyou?" ”

She once lived with Harley Quinn for a while, one cold and one hot, but they also lived very well.

"Of course, you can invite anyone."

"Can I do that too, store manager?" The lightning boy looked at Li Zu expectantly.

Asking a little ghost to stare at himself "with affection", it really didn't feel good, Li Zu had to nod for the time being: "Yes, of course you can." ”

"Bang!"

The box full of toys suddenly fell to the ground, and the Lightning Boy had turned into a lightning bolt and disappeared in place.

Shirley also happened to look at Li Zu at this time.

Li Zu had to wave his hand and said, "You can go too~"

Li Zu was the only one left in the toy store.

He looked at the rather empty toy store shelves, and then at the boxes of toys ready to be put on the shelves, and stretched. He took two steps back, shoulder-to-shoulder with the Tyrant shelf, then reached out and gently pinched the head of a tyrant toy and flung it to the ground.

The toy drew an arc in the air, "boom", and smashed to the ground, having transformed into a strong and burly terrifying "soul chaser".

The fierce-looking, burly mass-produced tyrant walked with heavy steps to the box full of toys, slowly bent down, picked up a box, and looked very clever, picked up a toy and placed it on the shelf.

Li Zu nodded with great satisfaction, but looking at the remaining boxes on the ground, he reached out and picked up a toy on the shelf and threw it out.

The other tyrant fell to the ground and, like the one just now, obediently picked up a large box and began to load it.

Looking at the negligible consumption of energy stored in his body, Li Zu was very satisfied.

"Are you going to find a way to slaughter a planet in the future?" A terrible thought suddenly rose in his mind.

Jingle bell~

The glass door is pushed open, and the wind chimes hanging behind the door shake to make a crisp and pleasant sound.

The person who came was a woman, she first glanced at the two tyrants who were loading the goods in confusion, her face was a little pale with fright, even if the tyrant was wearing a windbreaker and completely hiding the terrible body parts under the windbreaker and gloves, but the oppressive force brought by his appearance was still something that ordinary people did not dare to look at directly.

"You, hello~"

After seeing Li Zu, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had a normal person.

"I heard that this toy store is very peculiar" The woman first cautiously glanced sideways at the tyrant, then quickly swept the shelves on the left and right, and finally looked at Li Zu: "I want to buy toys." ”

"The prices are all on the shelves, and there are no promotions in our store for the time being."

Li Zu didn't have the heart to entertain guests at all, he sat on the chair half-turned, squinting his eyes and preparing to rest.

With a tyrant here, it is impossible for an ordinary petty thief to rob this shop.

When a creature that can threaten the tyrant appears, Li Zu is just as useless.

The woman shook her head, as if she had plucked up her courage, and said, "I want to buy something special." ”

"Special ...... A little? ”

Li Zu opened his eyes, looked at the woman with a slightly twisted expression, suddenly realized, and stretched out his hand to the west: "The unmanned vending store is over there." ”

"It's not!" The woman's face turned a little red, she shook her head and said, "I want to give my good friend a birthday present." ”

She suddenly stared at Li Zu with her eyes and said, "I heard that your toy store can make toys have life, even exactly like real people, and can replace them...... Isn't that right, Mr. Toy Man? ”

"Interesting"

Li Zu has never concealed his identity, but after all, he is not as rampant as those Gotham weirdos before, so this also causes him to be quite mysterious in the circle of ordinary citizens.

At this time, someone came to the door by name, which was what Li Zu found interesting.

The second interesting point is that this woman's movements are not simple, she wants to replace someone with a toy.

However, Li Zu found that he had no reason to refuse at all, he just asked, "What toy do you want?" ”

The smile on the woman's face suddenly became weird: "I want to give her, a toy that is exactly the same as herself!" ”

"That's ......"

Li Zu completely ignored the terrifying aura emanating from the other party, but nodded suddenly and said, "Then bring her here." ”

He never refuses a business, let alone the person who takes the initiative to come to the door, and there is no reason to drive away.

The strange smile on the woman's face disappeared, and she hurriedly trotted out of the door, her back looked a little "after the catastrophe", a feeling of relief, a little anxious and happy, and a trace of undetectable killing intent.

The other party really didn't let Li Zu wait too long, just after four o'clock in the afternoon, in the evening when the sky was setting westward,

A woman's car pulled up in front of the toy store.

Two women got out of the car, they held hands affectionately, and the woman in front was the woman who had just arrived.

The woman next to him had curly hair that looked like she was of Latino descent, with black hair and a swan neck, which made her whole temperament much more high.

Although the woman next to him is also good-looking, she has lost a lot in temperament.

As the first person to enter such a magical toy store and see the strange appearance of a human being like a tyrant, the woman has been stunned for a long time.

She didn't wake up until her companion dragged her.

"Mr. Store Manager" The woman dragged her friend to Li Zu and said, "I want a perfect, identical toy for my dear Julia Shelley." ”

As she spoke, the woman turned to her friend Julia Shelley and said, "This shop is very magical, you will know it when the time comes." ”

"Custom-made toys?" Julia looked at Li Zu curiously, she didn't understand how amazing the strange Asian man in front of her was, but the toys in this store were indeed as her friend said, very magical, and every toy on the shelf seemed to be alive.

The toy named "Ghoul" still appears to have some kind of carrion that resembles a human residue between the teeth.

What surprised Julia even more was that the "tyrant" on the shelves and the employees in black leather clothes who were working with their heads were exactly the same.

"Yes, custom toys, just trust me" The woman didn't think to explain the various details to Julia, but just urged Li Zu to measure Julia's various data.

"Okay" Li Zu simply glanced at Julia twice, and said, "Come and get it before dark." ”

The woman was surprised: "That's good?" ”

In her opinion, there should be a lot more detailed steps, even if the man in front of her is a toy man in Gotham.

Li Zu didn't bother to roll his eyelids, and nodded: "Okay, let's go." ”

Even though it was not a few hours before it was dark, Li Zu still gave an eviction order, and this woman had a strange aura on her body, which made his not very sensitive nose twitch twice unconsciously.

The woman really didn't dare to continue to ask Li Zu, since she already knew Li Zu's identity, of course, she didn't have the courage to continue to ask, and there was a possibility of losing her life by making a deal with the underground crime king of Gotham.

When Julia Shelley was taken away by her friends, she was still confused.

……

In the evening, a flash of lightning struck.

In front of it, the black shadow swings the rope, and sometimes spreads its gliding wings, smoothly shuttling between the tall buildings, and successfully controlling the immature lightning behind it.

Until near the old city, the flash point behind him suddenly waved his hand: "Don't run, don't run!" ”

The black figure half-crouched next to the "gargoyle", a unique building in the old town, and looked at the small figure running on his knees below.

These two people are none other than the two superheroes of Gotham City, Batgirl and Lightning Kid.

The two of them have barely stopped chasing since that inexplicable chase began, but as time goes on, Kid Flash discovers that he will never be able to catch up with Batgirl.

The Bat Girl looked at the Lightning Boy, as if she wanted to see through his mask and see his hidden expression: "Why, give up so early today?" ”

"I have something to discuss with you"

The Lightning Kid rolled his eyes: "I have a good friend who goes on a spring outing on the weekend, and he welcomes anyone to join, so I want to ask you to join me." ”

The bat girl said, "Spring outing? I'm so busy juggling the inside and outside of Gotham City every day that I don't have time to hang out...... What's more, a date with a little ghost."

Her words instantly stimulated the nerves of the lightning boy: "What a date, I just want to find a few more people, I want to be lively!" ”

"Okay, I'll think about it." The bat girl said nonchalantly.

"Okay, we'll get back in touch then"

The figure of the Lightning Boy vanished, and only the Bat Girl was left in place.

Soon, the bat girl also received the news, and her figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.

……

……

Western restaurant, the ultimate environment with elegant music,

Bright silver knives and forks are placed on both sides of the plate, and the red wine is already brewing in the crystal clear glass.

The waiter came to the table with the cake that had already been prepared.

"Happy Birthday, Julia~"

Bang Bang Bang ~

The surrounding guests who were eating also applauded politely, and everyone looked at the beautiful woman with a swan neck, and today was the day she was born.

"Thank you, Dale" Julia crossed her fingers against her forehead, she didn't know what she was wishing, but her expression looked very sincere.

Two minutes later, with Dale smiling, Julia gently blew out the candle.

The cake is not big, and the two women who need to keep their figure are also quick to taste the creamy sweets, they raise the red wine glasses in their hands and touch them gently.

"By the way, Julia," Dale seemed to remember, and she took the toy out of her backpack, "This is a custom toy that we went together this afternoon to make as a gift, I hope you will like it." ”

The toy is housed in a clear glass box that looks like a crystal coffin.

But Julia, who is only the size of a palm, is vivid, not only her appearance, but also her sleeping posture is exactly the same, staring carefully, as if there is a slight rise and fall on the chest of this little toy, as if she is sleeping.

"Thank you, I love this gift" Julia solemnly put the gift away, and then Julia also took out a slightly smaller gift box from her small bag, the box was not transparent.

"Thank you for always being with me, Daer, this is my gift to you, I hope the two of us will always be good friends in the future~"

Julia's smile was sweet, and she winked playfully and gently, "Don't peek at the gifts!" ”

"Got it," Dale didn't take the gift too seriously.

The two continued to chat, eating, and did not settle the bill until it was slowly getting dark.

"See you tomorrow, dear~"

Dale waved goodbye to Julia at the door, watching Julia drive away, Dale's smile slowly became gloomy: "I hope that when I see you tomorrow, you will still be you." ”

Julia drove home and happily placed the toys that Dale had given her in the most prominent position in the living room, but she still felt uncomfortable looking at the glass coffin-like packaging and took her toys out of it.

A little man who looked exactly like himself, stared closely, and seemed to be able to see the eyelashes of the toy trembling slightly.

Alive?

But when Julia looked closer, she realized that the toy was just a toy, only that it was more elaborate than all the other toys she had ever seen before.

Julia pushed open the door and walked into the bathroom, where she was about to take a shower and get ready to rest.

But when she pushed open the bathroom door, the toys on the table sat up suddenly.

The head spun around a few times, jumped to the ground, and quickly turned into Julia.

It's a pity that no one noticed this scene.

On the other side, when Dale returned home, she sat heavily on the sofa and laughed: "From now on, there will be no Julia!" ”

She opened her bag and pulled out the gift from Julia.

Although she didn't care, Daile slowly opened the gift box, and what caught her eye was a miniature version of herself!

At that moment, Dale's back was wet with cold sweat,

Back more than an hour ago,

Julia made an excuse to leave, and returned to the toy store alone, looking at the store manager Li Zu who was lying there lazily, she said: "I want to give Daile a gift, just make it like herself, and she will be very happy when she sees it with her own eyes." ”

……

Dale stared at the toy in her hand,

The toy seemed to blink suddenly.

Then, Dale noticed that her hand was empty, but the toy had already pounced in front of her face, murderous!
