Chapter 52: Gotham
"So you lied to me before?"
Diana circled around the door, a little incredulous.
"What I said is true, I just didn't mention the role of this door!" Duanmu Ruifeng Duanmu Ruifeng shrugged his shoulders and said in a flirtatious tone.
Diana looked at him deeply a few times, and did not continue to pursue his concealment, but asked again.
"Then why don't you let me in?"
"Because I'm not sure if it's going to be this world when we come out of this door again!"
"What do you mean?" Diana said a little dazed.
"Last time, I entered this door completely because of an accident, but when I came out, I didn't return to my original world, but appeared on Paradise Island!" Duanmu Ruifeng shrugged helplessly.
"The day we first met?"
Diana reached out and stroked the intricate lines on the door, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"That's right!" Duanmu Ruifeng nodded affirmatively.
"But what does that have to do with the magic you cast?"
Diana did not dwell on the truth of his words, but returned to the original topic.
"Because that magic is exactly what I learned on this door, and that day was the first and only time I used it!" Duanmu Ruifeng looked at the gate in front of him and said with a complicated look.
"From the door?" Diana looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, I spent a lot of time studying the door every day in order to learn how to use it correctly."
"Later, I found out that these complicated patterns on the door, which seemed to be one, were simply spliced together by individual rune arrays."
"Then I analyzed the runes, but because the runes on this door are so complicated, I can only follow the runes at the edge step by step."
"And then you learned that dark magic?" Diana said.
"Yes, but I didn't know what kind of magic it was until I cast it for the first time that day."
Duanmu Ruifeng nodded and said in a solemn tone.
Diana nodded, then sat back on the bed, without saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking.
Duanmu Ruifeng didn't bother, seeing that Diana didn't mean to continue asking, he directly closed the door, sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette, swallowing clouds and spitting smoke.
I don't know how long it took, but Diana finally came back to her senses and asked a question that caught Duanmu Ruifeng off guard.
"Can you take me inside?"
"You want to go in?" Duanmu Ruifeng's eyes widened, and he said incredulously.
"I'm fine, anyway, my only concern in this world is you, but what do you do? Maybe this time will be decades after I want to come back! ”
Hearing his words, Diana's face showed a rare touch of tenderness, and she got up directly into his arms.
"Don't worry, I can afford to wait!"
Duanmu Ruifeng was speechless, the Amazons generally have a long lifespan, and this longevity starts at least a few thousand years.
But...
"I'm not afraid that you can't afford to wait, what I'm afraid is that I can't afford to wait..."
Duanmu Ruifeng hugged Diana in his arms, stretched out his hand and stroked the long soft hair, a little helpless, and a little melancholy.
Hearing Duanmu Ruifeng's words, Diana was stunned, because she had always lived on a paradise island and was surrounded by Amazons, she didn't realize how short the life span of human beings was.
After this layer of window paper was pierced, she couldn't help but feel a faint sadness and a touch of sourness in her heart.
"Is there really no way?"
Diana hugged Duanmu Ruifeng with some trepidation, and said nervously.
"There's a way, but..."
After hesitating for a moment, he finally told her the truth about the Marvel world, including Erskine's experiments.
"In other words, as long as you can return to your world, you can solve the problem of longevity?" Diana's eyes lit up instantly.
"I can't say that, I can only say that it is possible, and there is some hope."
Duanmu Ruifeng buried his head in Diana's neck, sniffed the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, and said lazily.
"Besides, even if Erskine fails, I have other backup plans, but the risks are greater!"
"Then open that door!"
After a moment of silence, Diana said in a firm tone.
Although she is reluctant to give up Paradise Island, she doesn't want to watch her lover leave her decades later, and she can't do anything.
And even if she doesn't mention Duanmu Ruifeng's life, she is very interested in being able to go to other worlds to have a look.
"Are you sure?"
Duanmu Ruifeng stared at Diana's eyes seriously, and his tone was very serious.
"Sure!!"
Diana nodded heavily.
Why did she have such an idea, Duanmu Ruifeng probably guessed it, and because of this, his heart was even more excited at this moment.
What could be more exciting than your own woman caring about herself?
"Alright then, when I'm done with this journey, I'll take you inside the door."
"Why not now?" Diana said puzzled.
"I still have some things to be sure!"
"Something very important!"
……
"It's finally here!"
Duanmu Ruifeng looked at the dirty streets in the distance, and his eyes couldn't help but flicker.
If this is really the DC world, then he really hopes to meet Batman in the future.
Do you want to change his life?
Well!
This is a very serious question!
Before he could confirm his conjecture, Duanmu Ruifeng couldn't help but be in a good mood.
"Where are we going next?" Diana turned her head and asked Duanmu Ruifeng.
"Of course it's a local gangster!"
"When it comes to knowing the city, I'm afraid no one can surpass them!" Duanmu Ruifeng smiled faintly.
On the way back, he had already learned about the city.
As he remembers, Gotham is a very chaotic city, and the tentacles of the gangsters extend to almost every corner of the city.
Because of this, the gangsters know more about the city than the government in some ways.
"Gangster?" Diana frowned, obviously not having a good impression of the group.
After all this time, she is no longer as ignorant of human society as she was at the beginning.
Although he can't tolerate any evil when he is not on Paradise Island, he is still very disgusted.
"That's right!"
Duanmu Ruifeng didn't continue to say anything, but directly led her to push open the door of a nearby bar.
After the door opened, the eyes couldn't help but look like the two of them.
After seeing the elegant Diana, she couldn't take her eyes off it anymore, and her eyes gradually became ill-intentioned.
Duanmu Ruifeng ignored these people's gazes, and led Diana directly to the bar, like a bartender asking for two glasses of whiskey, but his eyes were looking around.
