Chapter 13 is about temporary workers. Tonight, temporary workers...
"Druid online, Lyra is in position high in the air."
The black migratory birds were invisible to the naked eye in the pure darkness of Gotham's sky—well, Kryptonians aside. Lyra coldly surveyed the crowd below, including those leaping through the air.
Twenty-five minutes ago, a fire broke out in the underground laboratory in the east. The fire was quickly extinguished thanks to Wayne Technologies' comprehensive equipment, but it also created a gap of at least half a minute. An innocent fire formed the perfect opening act. The people in the theater were already preparing to perform; they were the only audience.
The camera watched relentlessly until breathing became heavy and all footsteps stopped. Lyra's gaze was transmitted to Enid's mind, and she quietly accepted the convergence of all eyes, but her brows began to furrow.
"Can you adapt?"
Barbara's voice came through the headset to her side, and her location was displayed in real time in a corner of Gotham. There were also some urgent cries of pain beside her as she spoke. Her thigh strangulation was successful, probably learned from Batman. She and the others did the same, stepping on the other person's head and getting the best answer amidst the screams.
"It looks pretty good. You taught perfectly. It's a pity I still can't directly pass it on to your film and television records, but I've already marked the anomalies in the blind spots of the surveillance."
“Well done, Druid. Red Hood is over there.”
After a while, Jason's voice came through the call channel, "Gotcha." He ended the call quickly after saying that. The others had probably rushed over by now. An hour later, everyone returned unharmed. She noticed Nightwing winking at her.
"It seems that Xiao Ba's teaching this afternoon went very well."
“After all, I’m not an idiot,” Enid shrugged. “Simple maneuvers are fine, and Tim was helping me out. But does it look like we’ve caught it yet?”
“Of course, Fia is a perfect student, everything went very smoothly.” Barbara smiled at Enid, who finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay back in her chair. She then turned to Tim and thanked him, as Tim had already expected.
"I don't think you need to thank me."
"So it seems this time it's aimed at Wayne, sir?"
"Yes."
Bruce had many speculations and analyses regarding the Penguins' actions, but it wasn't until Enid revealed the area of unusual activity that his analysis received crucial evidence—the location of the new energy project's base. Clearly, their kidnapping of the Wayne family's daughter was merely a smokescreen; their real purpose was to create a media frenzy using poison gas, thereby damaging Wayne's stock price.
Next, their real goal is to steal and delay the new energy project. Red Hood has already obtained some evidence from the Penguin about his cooperation with the Arkham family, and the key plan for their new energy project is also there. As for how he obtained it, Red Hood says it's none of your business.
But one thing is true: the mole within the project still exists.
"I might have a way to deal with this? Not mind reading or anything like that, but the ability to distinguish between good and evil. If someone tries to deceive me, I can detect it."
Enid raised her hand, looking very excited. It was clearly a completely different experience from night patrols in the forest, quite exciting. Even a high druid who had been well-behaved for a long time couldn't help but be interested in such an activity.
“No, Red Robin will handle that. Tonight is an exception. You should probably get some rest. After all, the reconstruction of Saint Forest isn’t finished yet,” Bruce didn’t quite approve of Enid’s involvement in finding the mole, so he quickly offered another arrangement. “The energy items are ready. Alfred will take you to see them tomorrow. You can choose whichever is best.”
"Won't the best ones be very expensive?"
"Don't worry, I have money."
Bruce was somewhat exasperated by Enid's obvious concern. "Regarding your ability to distinguish between good and evil, perhaps you could talk to... Dick later? Well, of course, you can talk to me if you want." Clearly, he had noticed Dick's concern for her, so he gave him a little push. However, it was obvious that... Damian spoke up first.
"TT, don't you know? Deception isn't always malicious."
Damian's words struck her heart like lightning, and Enid's hands even trembled slightly. Perhaps she didn't realize how badly she was at hiding her emotions. Stephanie and Barbara exchanged a glance and pulled Enid over. It was clear that when they were together, she looked almost the same age as Cassandra.
"I'm sorry... I... I was just thinking about my mother... I think I've realized that she might be lying to me."
"That's normal, isn't it? If you want, maybe I can teach you how to tell when someone is lying. Of course, in exchange, you have to call me 'sister,' since you called me 'Barbara' today."
Stephanie's long blonde hair shone brightly, just like her. Enid paused for a moment, then pursed her lips shyly, "Sister... then thank you, sister..." Stephanie had only been joking, but hearing her call her "sister" made her feel much better, and she nodded. "Hmm, actually, Barbara might be a bit better, but we can teach you together. Of course, there's someone else here who's even better." She then looked at Bruce, her expression suggestive.
Enid glanced at Bruce, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you two sisters. Um... by the way, Father, will you let me know the results later?"
Bruce met those aggressive green eyes and didn't directly refuse. "Of course, but if you want to participate, you'll need more professional training, including from them. They will be your examiners."
He appointed them all as examiners, and if they all agreed, he certainly wouldn't object. However, before that, he needed to confirm one more thing: "I need you to list all the magic you know, including its power, and I will arrange for someone to give you targeted training."
Enid tilted her head and suddenly remembered something. Then, a super loud "thump" was heard in the Batcave, followed by a chaotic scene (which Red Robin secretly recorded and can be found in the channel and encrypted computer files). A lot of books fell from the sky, making the scene look a bit messy.
"I'm so sorry... I didn't expect... These are all the magic books the teacher sent. But Father, all the content here cannot be recorded or distributed. Only one person can view them. I'm sorry, there seems to be a bit too many... I apologize."
She seemed to have caused trouble, but Bruce clearly didn't see it as trouble. He nodded. "It's nothing, you don't need to apologize. I'll message you after I'm done reading, and you can put the book back. Is the confidentiality principle inherent in books?" Enid nodded, agreeing with Bruce's words.
“I bet Bruce should be pleased, after all, your books look quite complete, don’t they? And I bet your books aren’t from this world, right?”
She heard Dick's words and nodded. "This is magic from another world. The school I attend is also from another world. If you'd like, you can listen to me talk about the school's history tomorrow. I need to prepare for questions about the start of university tomorrow."
However, Enid herself was unsure whether she would even have the opportunity to submit her application.
A note from the author:
----------------------
Uh-huh, I don't know anything about knives or anything like that, umm (feeling guilty)
Don't worry, there won't be a katana. And I can assure you that there won't be a plot where the Joker kills Enid. I won't let the Joker kill her.
(whispering) Enid's biological mother is dead, but her godmother is alive. The Goddess of Nature is a true goddess, a real deity certified by Diana.

The answer to the quiz in the previous chapter (without a prize) is yes, it's on my phone.
However, she knew that it would happen in the plot. She didn't care about being spied on because she knew they were worried. After all, it was her first time in the outside world, and she felt very safe.
(After all, Mei Bao is still a little scared [Let me see])
