Chapter 29: The Crocodile and the Cat
In the morning, the Depp antique store opened on time for the first time in 10,000 years.
The hard-working Wellen opened the door early and waited for customers to come to the door.
As for Depp, he is now running in circles around Wayne Manor.
Because of his previous incident at Selena's Villa, he felt that the Gotham Police Department was not very safe, so he simply changed the running location to Wayne Manor, and reluctantly ordered a treadmill online.
Bruce was in his room eating breakfast while watching a video taken by a drone over the manor.
"How long do you think he'll run, Ah Fu." Bruce asked.
Alfred put the cut fruit on the table and said, "Ten kilometers, maybe twenty kilometers." One thing to say, his body is much stronger than when I first met him. ”
Bruce shoved a piece of apple into his mouth with a fork and said, "I guess he'll run at least thirty kilometers, and then he'll come here for a meal." ”
As soon as Bliss finished speaking, he saw Depp in the video turn towards the gate of the manor, and then called him on his mobile phone.
"Open the door, Bruce, let me have breakfast."
The gate of the manor slowly opened, and Depp trotted into the innermost Wayne family castle.
Led by Alfred, Depp came to the restaurant and met Bruce.
"What's breakfast today?" Depp said without seeing it.
After this period of contact and observation, Bruce has determined that Depp is just a profiteer with some special abilities and does not have any criminal tendencies.
Therefore, he felt guilty for his previous suspicion of Depp and his recklessness that night, and Depp naturally relied on this part of his guilt to have a good relationship with Bruce.
Hearing Depp's inquiry, Alfred replied for Bruce: "Today's breakfast is pan-fried cod, baked beans and soda bread, and dessert is black pudding." ”
"Two of each, thank you."
"......" Alfred was a little speechless, but he did it anyway, after all, the moment and process required to make one and make two are not too similar.
"You can really eat." Bruce quipped, "How many kilometers did you just run outside my house?" ”
Depp naturally inserted a banana segment into his mouth and said: "Twenty kilometers, but from tomorrow I plan to increase the size to fifty kilometers." ”
"I won, young master." Alfred, who was thawing the cod, said.
Bruce said, "You should start adding to your weight today." ”
Then he turned to Alfred and said, "I'll ask for another breakfast too." ”
Ah Fu looked at the pan that could only fit two pieces of cod, and said that this work is getting harder and harder!
After a while, two breakfasts were placed in front of Depp.
He took out his own special cutlery from his bosom... A pair of chopsticks.
I put a piece of cod fried until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat melts in the mouth, and the fragrance is overflowing.
Depp couldn't help but praise: "It's so delicious!" Ah Fu, you are definitely the best housekeeper in this world, there is no one. ”
Ah Fu straightened his tie and said, "So... Please don't mention any smart housekeepers in the future, okay? ”
However, I am only talking about "this world".
Depp nodded: "Then bring me another one." ”
Not to be outdone, Bruce said, "I'll want another one too!" ”
I don't know why, maybe Depp is too contagious, maybe it's because of comparison, Bruce also began to have a big appetite.
Only Alfred's injured world was born, and he started making the sixth breakfast, and he even thought that he should really hire a smart butler to help him take the pressure off.
After dipping the bread in the soup of the baked beans and taking a big bite, Depp happily asked, "Is your recent action going well?" ”
Bruce frowned slightly: "What do you mean?" ”
Depp smiled and said, "Of course, it refers to your actions when you are wearing tights at night, is it possible that you are exercising in bed with those young girls?" ”
"Watch your words!" "To be honest, the recent operation hasn't been going well," Bruce said. ”
"How?" Depp asked knowingly.
Bruce sighed lightly and said, "The people who have been dealt with recently are all ordinary criminals, and I have no clue about those strange psychopathic killers. ”
Depp guided: "Like the Riddler and the Electrocutor? ”
Bruce nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it's these guys, and what kind of poison ivy women, freeze people, and the guy who randomly arrested people two months ago." I can't understand why that guy caught the old man and the kids! ”
Depp thinks these guys are really trickier than the other, and as for the guy who has been randomly arresting people two months ago, it is probably Professor Jonathan Klein, whom he only met a few days ago.
That is, the scarecrow of the future.
Depp guessed that the purpose of the previous arrest of this thing should have been to find human test subjects for the fear gas he was studying.
The Gotham disappearance turmoil has stopped since two months ago, and it is estimated that his experiment has been completed, and the first version of the fear gas has been successfully experimented.
The information in Depp's mind is proof.
"Let's not talk about these clueless things." Depp said: "Don't you think there are some things on the surface that are more worth dealing with? ”
"Something on the surface?" Bruce was a little puzzled.
Depp continued: "Like the guys in the Gotham underworld, the gangster families who have plunged the city into darkness for years. ”
Bruce realized, "You mean... The Falcone family and the Maroni family? ”
Depp agreed: "That's right, I think you can start with these criminals on the surface, although it is not easy to find evidence of their crimes." ”
Depp's idea was simple, let Bruce increase his efforts to investigate the illegal evidence of the Falcone family, so that the latter would not have time to take care of them.
Anyway, in Gotham, no one is an opponent to Batman except for the Joker.
Bruce was a little helpless and said, "You think I haven't looked for it?" I've been there more than once, but I haven't found any evidence, and I think his ledger may not be in his own home. ”
"You're going to keep something so important out of your reach?" Depp asked rhetorically: "Maybe you should look more closely, such as the bedroom." Like what... Den. ”
Full of wine and food, everything that should be said has been said, and the rest depends on whether Bruce can give it or not.
When Depp returned to the antique shop, he saw the dog squatting on the ground and staring curiously at Wellen.
Wei Lun, on the other hand, leaned against the corner of the wall tremblingly.
"What are you doing, it's just a normal cat." Depp said as he picked up the dog.
Wei Lun looked at the cat that was coquettish in Depp's arms, and then stood up with palpitations.
"I don't know why, but when I saw it, I felt a visceral fear for the first time since I was born," Wellen said. ”
When Depp heard this, he thought of Selena's first day in the antique store and wanted to escape from the main entrance but was stopped by the dog, and suddenly muttered in his heart.
"This guy can't really be a fierce beast like a Primordial Eater, right? And, only a person with an animal-like wildness can perceive its danger. ”
Thinking of this, Depp immediately opened the dog's mouth, lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"There's no passage to connect to another dimension, and there's no tentacle with a suction cup, it's just an ordinary kitten!"
Depp breathed a sigh of relief, carried the dog into the bedroom, and began a meditation to enhance the mutant's abilities.
"Such a terrifying creature is so well-behaved and docile in the arms of the boss." Wei Lun recalled the figure of the dog just now, and couldn't help but shudder: "The boss is really not ordinary!" ”
