Chapter 1515: C: The Twilight Incident (21)
Bruce came to Pamela, not because of Pamela's problem, but mainly because he knew that Pamela was the contractor of the Green of All Things, and could communicate directly with the Green of All Things, and Bruce wanted to talk to the Green of Everything through Pamela to get information about the upcoming enemy from him.
But Pamela's botanical prowess really shocked him, and Bruce couldn't help it, and he asked in disbelief, "I've only been away from Gotham for a few weeks, how did you get so many, uh, beating plants?" ”
"Amazing, right?" Pamela said angrily, holding her arms and pacing between the pots, and said, "Thanks to the love of this damn Sin City, I have decided to give up the cultivation of agricultural plants in favor of a new field of security plants, and I will invite you on the day I go to receive the Nobel Prize, Mr. Wayne." ”
Bruce didn't hear anger or helplessness in Pamela's tone, only a kind of cold humor that had been condensed to the extreme, and he couldn't help but sigh when he looked down at the plants that were all over the ground.
"How many of these plants do you have?"
"As much as you want." Pamela shrugged her shoulders and said, "The cultivation of the first crop requires a lot of seeds, I keep all the seeds, and with the power of the green of all things, I can make them grow in an instant." ”
"That'...... How is the combat effectiveness? ”
"Do you want to try?"
Bruce hesitated slightly, the fact that plants could hit people was a bit ridiculous, he hadn't encountered it before, and Bruce really couldn't imagine how aggressive the green plants in this little pot could be.
"Why don't you find a weaker one and release it?" Bruce asked tentatively.
Pamela sighed and brought a pot of ball lettuce from her feet, and as soon as she removed the cover from the pot, the ball lettuce jumped out directly.
"Wait a minute, isn't this one anesthetized? It's over, this is the batch that is not anesthetized! ”
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Crash! Crash! ”
"Oh!"
Dozens of seconds later, Bruce covered one cheek and pulled Pamela to run in the other direction with a sharp brake at the corner of the corridor of the school building, shouting as he ran: "Don't you have the power of the green of all things?" Why can't you control them? ”
"I've asked the Green of Everything too, but he can't read it back!"
"Isn't this thing against me?"
"Don't ask too much of a plant."
"I'm demanding of you!"
Ten minutes later, Victor and Nora carried the freezing guns, looked at the frozen plants all over the ground and Bruce and Pamela sitting on the ground panting, he sighed deeply and said, "Bruce, you should really build a separate laboratory for Miss Pamela on that island, this kind of experiment can be called extremely dangerous even in Gotham." ”
"I'm just a botanist!" Pamela broke down and said, "Why do I need a security-level lab?!" ”
"Thank you for this damn Sin City." Bruce tilted his head to look at her.
Later, Bruce visited Falcone Manor, and it happened that Gordon, Roy, and Evans were discussing the concert again, and after listening to Bruce tell what happened, Roy was the first to be a little worried: "This shouldn't affect the concert in a month, right?" ”
"It's still early." Evans shook his head and said, "It's going to be solved in a week, it's definitely going to be solved in three weeks, so let's think about how to deal with this wave of mages first." ”
Bruce was concerned about something else, he looked at Gordon and said, "Have you and your subordinates heard recently that someone was making trouble because they were being controlled by black diamonds?" ”
"Don't mention it, I was just trying to talk to you." Gordon sighed and said, "Didn't we eat barbecue together on the East End before?" Jack told me that he watched your variety show and heard that it looked like a truck driver had picked up a black diamond during a long run. ”
Bruce frowned slightly and said, "Is anyone hurt?" ”
"That's the weird thing, I haven't heard of anyone going crazy, and there's been no manic hurt."
"And where is this diamond now?"
Gordon shook his head and said, "I don't know, the truck driver seems to have sold it, this kind of gem that has not been seen on the market should be considered to have some value, the drivers are short of money, and it is normal to sell it." ”
Hearing this, Bruce felt that something was wrong, he stretched out a hand and said sorry to the three of them, and then went to the telephone in the hall downstairs of Falcone Manor and dialed a familiar number.
"Hey, honey, where are you now?"
"Oh my god, that's boring, Bruce!" Selena's still energetic tone came from the other end of the phone, with a little complaint and coquettishness: "Even if you find out that I'm back in Gotham, can't you pretend not to know and let me surprise you?" ”
"Where are you? I'm going to you now! ”
"I'm at home, come on, I'll surprise you!"
Bruce rushed to Selena's new home as quickly as possible, which was a house he bought with his own money during the fifth phase of Gotham's renovation project, which was more than eighty square meters, and in terms of Gotham's population density, it was already a mansion.
As soon as Bruce rushed into the door, Selena jumped directly from the top of the door frame, one rolled over and threw herself into his arms, the two kissed for a while, Bruce just wanted to get down to business, Selena smiled and said to him.
"You'd never think I'd found something good - Qiang!"
Selena mimicked the sound in her mouth, one hand clenched into a fist in front of Bruce's eyes, and then suddenly opened her palm, in which lay a black diamond.
"It's been a long time since I've been back to Gotham, I didn't expect there to be such good goods here, I received it from a truck driver, and I gave it to you."
Bruce snatched the diamond and rushed into the room, Selena stood behind him and said, "Hey, even if you feel pleasantly surprised, you shouldn't be so excited." ”
Bruce was standing in front of the couch, and Selena was still standing in the doorway, and Selena was about to walk over, Bruce stretched out a hand and said, "You stand there first, have you heard any strange noises lately?" ”
"Uh, is the downstairs decoration drill too loud?"
"I mean, do you hear anyone talking in your head...... Forget it, Eclipse, are you there? Angry Spirit, get out of here and tell me what you did to Selena. ”
As a result, instead of the clear and unambiguous conversation he had heard in London, Bruce heard a series of muffled shouts, and when Bruce listened closely, he found that the familiar voice was shouting.
"Nope! No! Don't come here, you damn bunch...... Oh my God, who's going to save me? It's crazy...... I'm darkness, I'm madness! I'm crazy! ”
Eclipse repeated the phrase again and again, and with no more useful news, Bruce stared at the diamond in his hand and said with some uncertainty, "Could he be ...... Crazy, right? ”
Selena also noticed that something was wrong at this moment, she walked to Bruce's side, stared at the black diamond with some curiosity and said, "What's wrong?" Is there anything wrong with this thing? ”
"Haven't you watched the latest variety show?"
"Don't you know? I recently filmed in a film crew, playing a thief villain in the latest "007", and the female number two still has a lot of scenes, and I don't have much time to watch TV. ”
"Well, here's the thing......"
Bruce began to tell Selena about what had happened during this time, but he didn't expect Selena's first reaction after listening to it was not to worry about him, but to raise two eyebrows and glare at Bruce and say.
"You told the world that you were going to propose to me when you collected all the diamonds, so if you didn't propose, wouldn't I be very shameless?!"
But Selena reacted again, her toes spun on the ground, and she muttered, "I didn't mean I had to ask you to propose......"
Bruce grabbed her by the waist and sat her down on the couch, kissed her on the cheek and said, "It's not very romantic to propose with a cursed black diamond, and you certainly deserve better." ”
Selena wasn't really angry, so she snorted and pursed her lips, and suddenly jumped up from the couch as if she remembered something, stood in front of Bruce, shook her head and said, "I have a surprise for you, don't be angry when you see it." ”
"What is it?" Bruce asked.
Selena bent down and dragged a box from under the coffee table and opened the lid.
It's a whole box of black diamonds.
With a "bang", a box full of black diamonds was dumped on the table of the coffee table, conservatively estimated at forty or fifty, Bruce was stunned again, he looked at Selena and asked, "Where did you get it?" ”
"Don't be angry, I stole it."
Selena blinked and said, "Ever since I saw a second identical diamond at the stall, I knew there was definitely more than one or two of them. ”
"I didn't know you had a variety show, but I wanted to surprise you, so I didn't do anything else in the past few days since I came back to Gotham, and I've pretty much touched the whole city, and I'm sure this is all the black diamonds in Gotham."
Selena seemed a little apprehensive, she knew that Bruce had always disliked her stealing, but Bruce stood up and hugged her hard, and the two kissed again.
"You've surprised me, dear." Bruce leaned into Selena's ear and said, "I don't know if I'm shocked that you love me so much, or if I'm shocked by your masterful stealing skills." ”
Selena's focus was obviously on the second half of the sentence, she snorted triumphantly, put her chin on Bruce's shoulder and said, "You don't even know how good I am, the Gotham thief is not in vain!" ”
Bruce gave her a thumbs up in admiration, and was able to touch all the black diamonds in Gotham in just a few days, which is not ordinary, and then he asked with some curiosity: "I heard that Gotham has four snitches, are they each as efficient as you?" ”
"It's not that Gotham has four Snitches, but that every district has four Snitches, and there are sixteen of them...... Don't look at me like that, you don't know how competitive the thief industry in Gotham is, filming "007" is relaxing for me! ”
Selena sighed and counted her fingers, "Snitch is a subgroup of thieves in the thief industry, usually the type of thief who uses hook locks and climbing up and down skills to sneak into the homes of rich people or museums at night to steal treasures. ”
"In addition, there are the 'three hands' of pickpockets who steal money and bags in the crowded commercial streets; the 'house thieves' who slip the door and pick the lock to enter the houses; the 'thieves' who mingle with the newsboys, flower boys, and tobacco boys and often haunt the train stations and hotels where there are many people from other places, and steal property with the sympathy of outsiders for their children; the 'female thieves' who specialize in jumping immortals or pretend to be prostitutes to steal customers; the 'gang thieves' who provoke a few people to attract attention and steal alone; and there are many 'accounting thieves' and 'hacker thieves' who use their professional skills to steal money. Sailor thief' and so on. ”
"Because there are too many thieves, the competition is very fierce, and the Gotham people are short-tempered, once they are caught, they will definitely be killed, and the lowest one who can survive now is a veteran of a hundred battles."
"The Big Snitch, the Thief, the Ghost Hand, the Magician, the Old K, the Black 8, etc. are the code names of the most powerful thieves in each district, and I am only the head of the four Snitch in the Eastern District, just one of the four representatives of a district in a branch of the industry."
Looking at Selena's serious eyes, and then at the pile of black diamonds on the table, a light bulb suddenly lit up above Bruce's head.
"Wait, I have a bold idea......"
