Chapter 149 Chapter 149 [VIP]

Megan crawled into the hole in the wall and then climbed out of the fireplace. It was obvious that no one came here often, and there was still a lot of dust. She patted herself, but it left streaks of dust. She stared at the dirt for a while, then looked away.

The room was cluttered with some things, and there was nothing surprising in it. Megan imitated the Mad Hatter's previous actions and searched everywhere. She didn't get any clues from the walls, and kicked the covering on the ground out of boredom, and found some marks on the floor.

She stretched out her hand, squatted on the ground and rubbed around, and soon pressed down a floor tile. A dark hole leading down appeared next to it, and there was a ladder. She was not afraid at all and climbed down directly along the ladder.

The cave was not very deep. There was ventilation underground and a light above the head, but the brightness of the bulb was not bright enough. It was obvious that the Mad Hatter had worked hard to gather the materials. In order to steal electricity without being discovered, he could only reduce the power consumption. There was only one tunnel at the bottom, extending in one direction.

Megan remembered what her father and the Mad Hatter had said. This place most likely led to the outside of Arkham Asylum. She smelled the earthy smell and walked in that direction. At the end was another ladder going up. After she climbed up, she found herself in an alley. When she looked up, she could see the top of the tallest building in Arkham.

She walked slowly along the way, and even if the Mad Hatter turned back to look for the clown, he came quickly.

He was fast enough and looked around the first thing he did after climbing out of the tunnel. He was sure that the place he chose was hidden and would not be discovered, but he was looking to see if Megan was still there. When he saw the child, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Megan," he lifted his hat to shake off the mud and dust on it, walked over and said, "Your Mr. Rabbit allowed you to escape from the rabbit hole, so what is your plan?"

The Mad Hatter brought this child out, so perhaps he should bear some responsibility. For example, where was Megan going to play, and who was she going to see? He still didn't know Megan had a good friend of about the same age—his name was Robin. He didn't know, so he thought that when he asked Megan to paint the house, Batman was already tracking him, and Robin happened to catch him.

But if he knew, he might just say that this is a characteristic of Arkham, all kinds of betrayal and rebellion, and it can't even be said that they learned bad things from the Joker. After all, they are just bad like that, not just one person.

Now Megan tilted her head and asked, "Where are you going?" She was very curious.

The Mad Hatter suddenly had a brilliant idea. A hint of enthusiasm flashed in his eyes, and he enthusiastically suggested, "How about you play my Alice? I've prepared the costume and props, and they can be used after some modifications. This time, I'm sure we can finish the tea party before Bat or Robin arrive..."

What if he finishes the tea party? He will find that 'Alice' is not the Alice in the fairy tale, and the world they are in is not the world of the rabbit hole. There are no tall plants and no weird characters here. Only he is crazy and immersed in the world of his own imagination, but imagination will never become reality.

If he thought about all this, he would go crazy, but he was already crazy and couldn't think so much.

The Mad Hatter ran passionately through the streets and alleys holding Alice's hand. He had a genius brain that could create a "mind controller", so it was easy for him to avoid the sight of pedestrians and the surveillance range. He took Megan to his safe house.

This safe house is a single-family villa with a large interior space. It is decorated with scenes from "Alice in Wonderland" everywhere, full of fairy tale style. Megan was not restrained when she entered the door. She saw a fairy tale book on the cabinet beside the door, picked it up and flipped through it, then asked the Mad Hatter who followed her in, "Are there any fairy tale movies to watch?"

Megan waved the picture book of "Alice in Wonderland" in her hand, indicating that she wanted to read it, and the Mad Hatter jumped up from the ground, which was enough to show that he was very excited.

"Oh, little Alice, if you want to see this, there must be one!"

The Mad Hatter ran to look for the disc, and when he found it he put it into the DVD player. Yes, there was a TV in the hall. He pushed away the fake tree that was blocking the TV. Although he was thin and short, he could exert great strength. He worked alone and didn't even call Megan to help. Megan was more like the owner of the place than he was, and she waited for the Mad Hatter to do everything.

After the cartoon started, Megan pulled a carpet with white flowers printed on it over and spread it directly on the ground, and then she sat on it. The Mad Hatter was originally going to change Megan's clothes, but he thought about it and sat down to watch the cartoon.

They were silent until the end.

The Mad Hatter was distraught: "Alice is gone, she returned to the ground, what about me? No! My tea party is not over yet -"

He wanted to go crazy, but Megan asked him, "What are we having for dinner?" It can't just be tea and snacks, right?

The two men looked at each other for a while, and the Mad Hatter was not so crazy anymore. "Okay, okay! You are the little actor I invited. I want to eat and I want to eat too. So the tea party can be held tomorrow, okay?" He stood up and complained, but still walked out of the villa. After all, he didn't hire a nanny or a servant, and who would dare to work for him?

He said that this was annoying, but in fact, he walked out of the villa gate and when he was outside a certain range, he took out the mind controller he had made before and hid it in the safe house from under his hat. This seemingly simple little gadget could achieve mind control, which sometimes required a medium and sometimes required ensuring a distance.

The Mad Hatter put the mind controller on his head and put his top hat back on. His ugly face under the brim of the hat was calm and indifferent. He would not use this thing on Megan because her mind was fragile enough. Even if it had a slight influence on her, it would definitely cause her nervous and mental disorders.

After all, in Arkham, even the Joker coaxed her. If her illness wasn't so serious, would the Joker be so tolerant of her?

He thought there was nothing wrong with his inference, and why the clown wanted to raise this child even though she was so troublesome was the clown's own business, and he was not curious at all.

He sensed some people in his mind controller, and they could all help him...

Megan also rested in the Mad Hatter's villa at night. Anyway, the place was big, so she went to look through the Mad Hatter's props and found quilts, pillows, and mattresses. She didn't know what his place looked like originally. Megan looked everywhere and found that there was no proper guest room or bedroom at all. It was just an "Alice in Wonderland" theme prop production site and studio.

She was woken up by the Mad Hatter early in the morning. She was a little sleepy, and while eating breakfast, she let the Mad Hatter apply disposable hair dye on her hair.

Because she wants to play Alice.

The Mad Hatter patiently and carefully dyed and combed her hair, striving to achieve the perfect image of Alice in his mind. After that, Megan finished her breakfast and drank a glass of milk. In order not to become a dwarf as her father called her, she also had a dream, which was to grow as tall as the clown!

Megan stood in front of the floor-length mirror and looked at her blonde hair. She said: "Wow, what a beautiful color."

But the Mad Hatter told her, "Don't touch it with your hands! It's powdered paint and it will come off easily."

So why not use a liquid dye, which has a more permanent effect, and fade it first before dyeing? Of course, the Joker's threat was still there. The Mad Hatter carefully considered whether the Joker would accept Megan dyeing her hair blonde, just like many teenagers in school who were dissatisfied with their brown hair and dyed it blonde... He didn't know what the Joker was thinking, but what if he didn't accept it?

In the end, the Mad Hatter chose to take the trouble and use powder dye, since he only wanted Megan to play Alice once.

Now he looked at the little girl in front of him with blonde hair and innocent clothes, his expression gradually relaxed, he was very satisfied, but Megan's clothes were not right, so he went to get the clothes for Alice that he had made at night, of course it was not a short-sleeved style, that would make Megan catch a cold in the winter.

The blue dress with a large hem was made of carefully chosen velvet and had an outstanding cut. It was paired with a layered base skirt and a small white apron with lace trim. The Mad Hatter was also thoughtful enough to buy some small leather shoes.

The Mad Hatter brought the costume and placed it in front of Megan, looking at the young actor again, "Oh! My God! And your eye color!"

Unlike Megan's green eyes, Alice in the fairy tale has a pair of blue eyes.

He paced back and forth anxiously and had to think of a way to deal with this. Megan tilted her head and asked in confusion: "It's just acting, can't green eyes be used?" Green eyes are the most beautiful because Megan and her father both have eyes of this color.

The Mad Hatter suddenly turned his head and looked at Megan. If someone else had told him to "act", he would have thought that person was not a good "actor", but Megan was still a child! Children can't wear cosmetic contact lenses because they may wear out their eyeballs and affect their vision development. However, the Mad Hatter had never had such a problem before.

He only wants actors who meet the requirements.

When he was still anxious, he saw Megan holding up the clothes, and suddenly he felt a little relieved and complained loudly: "Okay, okay! You are the first Alice who cooperates with me so well. I accept your imperfect Alice."

What else could he do? He could just not look Alice in the eye for a while, but he still didn't give up and asked Megan, "Look, your eyes have always been green. Don't you want to change the color? You know, it's so cool in middle school! And you only need to keep it on for a few minutes, and it can be removed quickly. I can even take a picture of you—"

Megan shook her head.

The Mad Hatter snorted, he was so angry that he jumped up and down, "You just don't understand the beauty of Alice!" But he was still happy when he saw the little blonde girl gesturing with the blue skirt in front of the mirror.

There is no need to describe how complicated and anxious he felt. Seeing Megan gesturing with her skirt, he just walked out the door. He left space for Megan and waited for her to change into Alice's clothes.

Waiting for Megan to open the door and for Alice to walk up to him.

Wait for young Alice to pass by like a hurried guest, wait for his tea party with the March Hare and the Dormouse to begin, and let him realize that cruel and unattainable dream in this crazy world.

Maybe it wasn't Alice chasing Mr. White Rabbit, but he was the one who fell into the rabbit hole.

The Mad Hatter gradually calmed down, and when he heard the door open behind him, his face was expressionless. However, when the 'Alice' in his dream appeared before him, he was still uncontrollably excited!

This Alice was innocent and young, with bright eyes and eyebrows. When she swung her skirt, she overlapped with the image in the Mad Hatter's imagination. He was about to speak when he saw Megan turned and looked at him. When he saw those green eyes, the excitement in his heart slowly cooled down, and a look of disgust appeared on his face. "No! Oh my God——"

"Why aren't you the perfect Alice!"

Megan tilted her head slightly. The Mad Hatter said something she didn't want to hear. Seeing that he was about to go crazy, his expression became more ferocious and terrifying. She lifted her skirt and kicked him, but the Mad Hatter dodged.

The Mad Hatter said nothing more and did nothing more, but his eyes grew even colder.

Megan didn't let him get away with it. She slammed the door shut, thought for a moment, and then went to climb out the window. The window on the first floor was not high, so she climbed out successfully. She looked back and saw that the Mad Hatter didn't notice her, so she walked straight to the street.

Sorry, I've been busy these past two days and haven't had time to write.
