Chapter 160 Published



After Hardy left, the professor gave the tickets to the doctors and bodyguards and gave them a holiday.

She only left three tickets. This manager was very good at dealing with people. Most of the tickets were during the prime time period, but considering that there might be some special circumstances, three of them were at the inhumane time of 2 a.m.

With the help of the nurse, the professor walked slowly around the room. The nurse beside him smiled. This was a nurse who had been with Daisy Diamond for many years.

The brunette glanced at her.

"You're much better today than you were a few days ago," she said. "You're more active now, instead of just sitting in your room reading."

In the previous few days, the nurse felt that... the professor was like a cold corpse.

But the professor frowned and said, "Actually, I don't really like rehabilitation."

——Because it will cause blood loss.

The nurse smiled gently and asked, "Would you like to invite Ms. Nora and Ms. Weiwei to go to the movies together?"

Of course not, the professor said, "It's for Damian and the...nursing home volunteer."

As a claw who is still under observation, William will not leave South Hinckley. It is impossible for Nora to take care of those claws. As for Jason, he has no ill feelings towards Professor Diamond as an investor, but he may not go because he has to be responsible for the prison.

Anyway, just deliver the tickets.

Jason is still a volunteer at the nursing home and even has a staff room in the nursing home.

He saw the movie ticket in the room in the evening.

Then he looked toward the window.

【“Xiao Chou may run out at any time. I don’t have time to go.”】

The sunflower on the windowsill said so.

[“Shut up, Cecilia, and don’t read out what I’m thinking.”]

The sunflower shook, and the sound it made became half as loud.

Jason was speechless.

This was the pot of flowers he had acquired a few days ago, and he occasionally took it out to water it. In just two or three days, the flower had grown and bloomed. It grew so big that Jason had no place to put it, so he named it "Cecilia."

Of course he... well, it's not like he can't afford to keep a flower, but this feels like -

[“It’s like a homeless man encountering a stray cat that rubs against his ankles. How can you give it a home if you don’t have one?”]

Cecilia said in an evocative tone.

Jason: “…”

Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder if Cecilia actually had a soul - maybe she really did, after all, it was a magical flower.

In order to avoid the shame of having his thoughts read out again, he chose to empty his mind, as if he was doing torture training.

This kind of flower, including Gotham's glowing tree and gargoyles, could have been torture tools, lie detectors, and weapons of war, but now it has become a shame detector, a love wishing tree... and a Gotham idol?

He stroked the images of the gargoyles and Batman on the movie ticket and couldn't help but think -

[“It’s nice to go and see the old man’s jokes.”]

Cecilia said.

"Shut up!"

Tony looked up from his workbench and asked casually, "What time is it now, Steve?"

"21:49, sir," Friday said, "You have not eaten properly in over 18 hours."

Tony muttered, "Good girl, I just missed a meal... Old Jia, oh, by the way, it's his working time now."

Even AI has working hours, how weird.

Tony investigated the boss, Old Jia. You could say she was stingy, but she had never defaulted on employees' wages and bonuses. Even when Old Jia asked for the same working hours as other employees, she immediately approved it. She easily accepted that AI also needs human rights. You could say she was generous, but she had never paid a penny more. The mayor was not corrupt and did not accept bribes. She required her employees to work hard by having them live and eat in the city hall. To be honest, Tony admired her... She was a hard-working "idiot".

Iron Man knows that he is not liked, but he is a genius, and geniuses do not need to be liked, but he can also admit that there are always other people who are good at things that he is not good at. If he is asked to have a meeting with some annoying old guys, he will not be able to do as well as Pepper, who can make everyone angry and adjourn the meeting within ten minutes.

If Iron Man were to take charge of the city, the city would be the one that would suffer. Apart from anything else, if Alec had not cooperated with some mysterious party, his body might be cold by now.

——But even so, he couldn't understand the geographical restrictions on Lao Jia, the AI.

"Where is the mayor now, Friday?"

A picture was projected.

The blonde woman changed into casual clothes and went shopping arm in arm with a short-haired black woman, who was wearing her signature windproof goggles and had a helpless expression on her face.

"Bella Bettivan, Warden of Blackgate Prison." Friday noted thoughtfully on the side.

These images were taken by drones. Gotham did not ban drones from flying. If they did, the first thing they would ban would be Batman. Friday analyzed every part of the image and marked it out. The last part was shown as -

"Movie tickets for 2 a.m.?"

Watching a movie together late at night, Tony began to wonder if they really had a relationship. He thought it was just a rumor.

At ten o'clock sharp, Mr. Jia got off work.

His AI, which worked for someone else, greeted Tony on the screen, and then a 3D movie ticket floated on the screen.

[Rewards for outstanding employees.] Mr. Jia said.

Tony hesitated: Stark Industries has never issued such a stingy employee reward.

But he didn't seem to have given any rewards to Lao Jia, and he didn't treat Lao Jia as an employee - he was clearly a family member!

However, a faint sense of guilt lingered in Tony's heart. He said, "Haven't you seen that movie? Forget it, you can keep this ticket. Let's go to see the 2 a.m. show together. Please book the entire theater for me. No, please buy me ten tickets."

Tony looked at the items on the workbench, snorted, and decided to take Old Jia to see the mayor.

He didn't realize that his thoughts were just like those of an old father who takes his son, who has changed into new clothes, to his boss to ask for his salary.

While Stark was busy, the city's Robin squatted on the rooftop opposite his laboratory.

——Because this is also next door to GCPD.

Timothy works as Lieutenant Wayne in the morning and continues his night patrol at night. He is currently investigating a case in which someone disguised himself as a vampire and went to a cemetery to steal corpses. When the GCPD received the report, they thought it was really a vampire - in such a world, this possibility is not low. Later, they found out that it was just a crude imitation crime, and the police officers were really relieved.

Gargoyles can prevent theft and robbery, but most of their intelligence is limited to imitation and simple instructions. It is better to say that as long as humans exist, disputes will not disappear. When one form of crime is curbed, another type of crime will occur.

Because of this extra job, Tim had a legitimate reason to frequently visit Gotham Cemetery.

It was at this moment that he realized that Weiwei's death and resurrection was not a simple "resurrection".

Until the day before yesterday, they all thought that Weiwei had been resurrected directly in her original body after her death, but now that they thought about it, they had never directly seen the girl resurrect.

The first time, her body is taken away by the gargoyles, and the girl who reappears looks exactly like the corpse, but without the filth.

The second time, "Mr. C" possessed her corpse and used vines to transform the collapsed church, and then the girl appeared at the window alive and kicking.

Both times, the corpse disappeared from their sight for a while, and when it reappeared it was the living Vivi.

However, the girl's body was specially protected and could not be studied. When the girl was alive, her hair did not fall out and she did not bleed. Tim had long believed that she was not human. Perhaps for a living being like her, "death" is not "death".

Changing a body is as natural as changing clothes. Even Vivi herself doesn't care, and Tim doesn't understand what he cares about... He may be feeling sad.

He once thought: "You are deceived and think you are playing a game, ignoring all unreasonable things...but you have not done anything bad, you are qualified to know the truth and then choose your own path under your own will."

Whether she becomes a hero or a villain, or just an ordinary person enjoying every day, all her choices will be made by her own will, like a real human being.

"It seems like it," he thought, "so let me see what the truth is."

No matter whether Weiwei is a human, a non-human creature, or even just a piece of code, a manipulated puppet, no matter what the truth is, he will investigate everything.

Tim checked his phone and booked a ticket online. Vivi's location was becoming more and more elusive, but he could ask Millie White and know where to find her.

"Dick?"

Tim saw the message from Dick and blinked.

Just yesterday, the Owl Court had emerged from the dark side of the city, and Tim knew Bruce had been busy investigating the court, and if he hadn't found any more clues from those who had fallen into semi-madness, they had probably been dealt with.

On the bright side, it was the mayor who took action, but on the bad side, there are still court members hiding in this city.

The latter possibility is not low. Bruce's brows have been wrinkled since he heard Dick talk about what Vivi had done to the claws. He might go to South Hinckley to take a look in person.

Dick went to find Barbara. The bat's little birds all have their own secrets. Tim guessed that Dick had some personal problems that needed Barbara's help, and coincidentally, he discovered that the bat also had something to hide from Dick.

He shook his head and decided to be a good little brother in this family without trying to find out what went wrong between his adoptive father and his older brother.

At two o'clock in the morning, Tim showed up at the cinema on time waiting to enter.

He disguised himself and hid himself in a corner.

Soon, he saw several members of the Avengers. In order not to cause a commotion, they disguised themselves a little, but Captain America's muscular lines could not be hidden by a duck cap.

Not long after, he saw a guy wearing a red hood walk in arrogantly.

Then Dick came in, pushing Barbara's wheelchair.

Tim: “…”

He began to feel that something was wrong.

At the beginning of the movie, Sheila, the girl who can control mice, appears in the corridor first, followed by a boy dressed like an assassin with a stinky face, pulling a little black-haired girl.

The little girl's face was as pale as her claws, and she wore a monocle like a little adult.

Behind them, Bella, seven, Anna, nine, and Vivi, eight, filed in.
