21 Chapter 21
Cobot was the first to notice the movement in his clothes, and no wind blew, but they seemed to be fluttering.
His eyes lit up with surprise.
"Shh Cobot winked at Nygma and motioned for him to take a closer look: "Look! ”
The Riddler gave up glaring at Hope and turned his head.
The clothes that had been flat on the wall suddenly bulged into a small bag, and the small bag looked like a sharp protrusion again, as if someone was picking up the clothes with an awl from behind.
Outside, in the hallway, the guards left behind by Theo Gellerven happened to patrol the neighborhood and noticed a few sneaky people gathered in the corner.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The patrolling guards looked at the men with suspicion, their eyes constantly wandering on the extremely obtrusive dress in the corner.
"Please, we're just making some games! After all, there are two little children here, and they will cry and make a fuss without games. Colbot looked at the guards, "What can we do?" Dig a tunnel to escape? Your dog master doesn't even dare to leave a spoon here, as if he were afraid that we would gouge out his eyeballs with a spoon. Seriously, it's incredible that he didn't die at night from the nightmares he had. ”
"Theoretically, it's possible for him to be scared to death by his dreams," the Riddler added, "after all, he has to worry about others discovering his true colors, and he has to use his own bold courage to harm others." Tsk, it's really pitiful when you think about it. Otherwise, you can follow Copter, he will at least give money generously and be bold. ”
Colbert smiled politely and modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, Edward. I'm so glad I have such a high opinion in your heart. ”
The Riddler rolled his eyes: "Although you are not very good, it is all up to your peers." ”
Copote: ......
"Shut your noisy mouths," the guard choked at the two of them singing and choking, "I'm going to go in and check." ”
After saying that, he motioned for the other guard behind him to watch outside the door to prevent any special circumstances from happening.
Copote's greedy eyes fell on the tinkling keys in the guard's hands.
It's a pity, if it weren't for the fact that there were still a large number of people outside, even if he snatched the key now, it would be useless, and this guard would probably fall to the ground and die in the next second.
The penguin man fumbled the knife in his pocket and licked his lips regretfully.
The prison was quite quiet, and the surrounding rooms were empty. Recently, it has been a critical period for Theo Gellervin's campaign, and he has not dared to make too many small moves.
The guard's suspicious eyes fell on the corner.
"What is that dress there for? Bring me the clothes. The guard kicked Copote.
The penguin man was silently kicked by this, and his heart lifted, and he didn't know what was behind it, in case Hope really made a big hole in another dimension.
The penguin man rubbed his own leg.
Seriously, beatings were a common occurrence for Copote, he had been beaten by Fish Mooney's men, by Falcone's men, and by Maroney's men. Even GCPD's Harvey Bullock and James Gordon beat him up for clues about a serial murder case.
Perhaps that's the weight of the King of Gotham, Copote thought, and his chest welled up with infinite courage. If this kick allowed him to escape, he was willing to do it a hundred more times, and he believed that Edward Nigma would do too.
Let's hope the Riddler will be the next to be beaten. Penguin people thought. After all, the Riddler's mouth is even less beaten.
"It's just a piece of clothing," Copote tried to distract the guards, "it's all Nygma, he's playing games with the cubs." What can I do? ”
The Riddler stomped on Copote's ability to cause trouble. But he has to cooperate, otherwise everyone will have to die here, and it doesn't matter if Hope is handed over to Theo Gellervin for study, it is okay that they may not be able to escape.
So after they left, it was the right choice to hand over the imp Hope to Theo Gellerven.
The poor guard swept over the people present with suspicious eyes, and various scenes of prison escape came to his mind. For example, "The Shawshank Redemption", and "The Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell". There's a huge hole behind the glamorous female celebrity poster, and behind this dirty dress may be Copote's dirty little secret.
These guys must have dug a hole in the back of their clothes, he thought.
"We're just making a game, without any malice, I swear by Copote's head." The Riddler said, "You see, we are already trapped in this prison through and through—praise to Mr. Gallervan's strong prison. How can we get out? There are two 5-year-olds here, and you won't even give us a sip of water. If you don't play games, the kids will get into trouble. You don't want to hear the high-pitched, annoying cries of children at work, do you? ”
"Shut your mouth."
The guard rudely pushed Kopote, who was in front of him, aside and pushed Nygma, who was in front of his clothes, out of the way.
The ordinary coat hung on the wall. After a day of scrambling, the coat was dirty, and there was a big hole in the elbow.
The guards outside the door kept a firm eye on the movement inside, and the guards inside clenched the guns with the safety in their hands.
He approached the corner and slowly picked at the garment.
Cobot quietly pulled out his dinner knife. Nigma was thinking about how to stop the guards outside from ventilating the news.
The two looked at each other and nodded knowingly.
As the clothes were slowly picked up, the hearts of several people were also picked. Even Peter was ready to rush out by force.
Behind the clothes, however, are the filthy walls of the prison.
The guards even saw familiar, uncleaned bloodstains from above—from the last unlucky man who was locked up here, dried blood solidifying on the walls, and a few cockroaches crawling past.
Nigma thought to herself that he would never touch this dress again.
"You see, I'll just say it's just a kid's game. We're already locked in, what else can we do? Cobot said with a smirk.
The guards continued to stare suspiciously at the few men in front of them.
The penguin reached out and tugged at Peter's clothes, motioning for the tomboy to cooperate, as Hope wasn't quite sure what was going on.
"This kid is the most noisy, he has been clamoring to get out since the beginning, and we can't help it. He was hungry and clamoring for juice. Cobot said, not forgetting to blow a rainbow fart on his hope of getting out of prison: "Of course, our Hope is still very well-behaved. Good children deserve to be rewarded. ”
Colbert looked at Hope 'gently', and the love in his eyes gave Nygma goosebumps.
The loving King of Gotham, Copote might as well change his name to Mother Penguin.
Hope looked up at the strange-looking adults.
"Can Hope drink juice then? Hope is good! ”
This stinky little devil who doesn't know the situation is still thinking about juice!
The Riddler, who was standing on the side, angrily pulled the child's face, but before he dared to exert himself, he felt a little itch in his neck.
He reached out and patted it, and then saw a dead prison native.
The 6-legged kind.
The hygienic Riddler looked at the blurred mosaic in his palm, and felt that his whole body began to itch, and a feeling of nausea also appeared in his throat.
His desperate eyes saw a disgusted Colbert on the side.
Nygma stiffly raised her hand, grabbed the penguin's clothes and began to wipe her hands frantically.
Cobot swears while struggling: sh*t!
However, he didn't have time to care about that much, and the guards continued to patrol the prison, as if they had to find their loopholes.
"I advise you to tell me how to get in as soon as possible." The guard said, "The boss is busy cleaning up the others, so he doesn't have time to take care of you for the time being. It is better to speak up sooner rather than to suffer. "Originally, Galevin had planned to torture these men, but he had more important things to do than a failed King of Gotham.
However, the desire for control was too strong for him to give up the idea of interrogating the penguins himself.
Copote also apparently knew that they were now in prison not because of Gellerwin's mercy. So he had to send the guards away so that Hope could take them away as soon as possible.
Cobot kicked Peter in the shin and motioned for him to cry out twice to match his performance.
Peter rolled his eyes helplessly.
How could he not understand what Copote meant. But he really couldn't refuse.
"Woo~ Peter wants to eat and drink! You scoundrels are going too far, why are you locking up Peter and Hope? We're just kids! Woooooooooooooooo Peter recalled Hope's childish self-pronounce and cute tone words, trying to imitate the essence with his old heart.
It's a pity that he failed to imitate it.
Peter was disgusted by his own pretending to be tender. Copote's eyes were similarly disgusted. Nygma was still bouncing wildly around the corner, shaking off imaginary cockroaches before trying to wipe his hands with everything he could find.
"Peter wants to eat and drink!"
Poor Spider-Man couldn't cry, he could only cover his face and pretend to howl.
But Hope believed.
The child looked at his new friend in amazement, he had never seen a human cub crying before!
Peter must have been injured to cry so sadly!
Hope didn't see the wound at all, though.
Hope cautiously approached the new friend and took Peter by the small limp hand in an attempt to comfort the new friend. But he had no experience and didn't know what to say.
Now he finally determined that human cubs were very fragile creatures, much more fragile than Hope.
Be sure to handle with care!
Little Hope had apparently forgotten the scene where he hid in Lucian's arms and choked sadly, and also forgot the scene where he howled and cried at GCPD.
Now he just feels like his new friend is scared because the guys out there are hurting him!
It's too much!
The child puffed out his face and stood in front of Peter, and his voice was milky: "You made Peter cry!" Hurry up and apologize! ”
He was clearly trying to make himself appear a little more fierce through tone and accent.
But more obviously, he failed.
But this is the first way a child can think of dealing with it, because Ah Fu said that if you do something wrong, you have to apologize.
If Lucien had been here, he would have been glad that the child had finally understood a human feeling.
The guard, who had already kicked the penguin several times, left the room and locked the door, was quiet.
Then he laughed with the other guards behind him.
"Oh, poor little darling, let's apologize! Hahaha! I'm so sorry, little darling, uncles just want you to know about the world of adults! ”
With that, he shot the penguin man in the shoulder without warning.
The hapless Copote hissed in pain.
Why is it always him who gets hurt? He didn't mess with Hope this time!
"You bastards, I must look good when I go out! I'm going to skin you and cut off the hand you shot and feed it to the dogs!" You wait! The penguin man clutched his wounds and became angry.
Peter hurriedly helped the penguin man to sit aside, and examined the penguin's wound by the way.
The guards were probably ordered by Theo Gellerven to spare the lives of a few people, so they didn't do anything ruthless.
Penguin people's wounds are not near the arteries and are not life-threatening. Just wait for them to get out and get the bullets out, but you can't just let Colbert bleed, and if they don't leave, this guy will die of blood loss.
Hope stood there with wide eyes as he saw the blood coming from Copote.
In fact, Oswald Copote is a person who has some special meaning to Hope. The penguin man was the first human Hope had ever met, and even Copote had just said he was his friend.
Although Hope thought it was a little strange, he decided to accept Copote as a friend.
And now, one of his friends is crying angrily by the villains outside the door, and another friend is hurt by their weapon.
Hope felt anger welling up in his heart.
It seemed like he had never experienced before.
Pap, Lucien, Gaga, and Lucifer were never hurt. What happened today gave Hope a sudden urge to protect his friend.
He needs to protect them with stronger means.
Both Lucien and Gaga have said that if they are hurt, they must find a way to retaliate back, and showing weakness will only be bullied more harshly.
Hope pulled out the sandbag he never left and pulled out a handful of golden sand from inside.
Soft and fine sand flows from your fingertips, this handful of sand that looks like it has been brought back from the Hawaiian beach and still smells of sunshine and coconut palms, looking harmless.
But abruptly.
Neither the people inside the prison nor outside the prison could understand what Hope was doing.
But they soon found out.
