Since both her real self and her fake account had received the invitation, and thinking that she might be invited again in the future, Weiwei simply opened all her accounts to watch the movie together.

However, from the vigilante to the prison warden, they are all internet celebrities. The mayor himself often appears in public. In order to avoid being harassed, she ate prop cookies, and the four of them randomly shrank into the appearance of children.

This actually makes their team of six people stand out. The oldest is the 14-year-old mouser Sheila, who just happens to be at the age limit for eating cookies. The second is Damian, who looks like a brother.

There were actually quite a few people with special professions gathered at the cinema, such as vigilantes, who work at night. Weiwei and Sheila went to get popcorn together, and Bella took a Coke. Anyway, they were here to watch a movie today, so she decided that if no one came to talk to her, she would pretend that she knew nothing.

The six people were sitting in the third row, Damian was on the far left, to his right was the professor, next to the professor were the mayor and the warden, Vivi was sitting next to the warden, and on the far right was Sheila, who was not that familiar with the others.

They were there as if they were really there to watch a movie. The lights went out and others groped their way in. The theater began to play a promotional video produced by the Gotham City Tourism Bureau. The introduction of the film was roughly copied from the Bludhaven next door, introducing Gotham's Gothic architectural style (gloomy and dark, suitable for bats to live in), the comfortable and constant climate with the sea breeze (it rains eight months a year, and the remaining four months are either snowing or hail), and the famous attractions in the city (such as Wayne Tower, Knights Dome, and the ACE Chemical Plant that once bubbled up), as well as our Gotham's specialty, the urban legend Batman.

When the picture stopped at the batlight in the night sky and Batman (obviously played by someone else), although the scene was actually very cool, Weiwei still heard a sneer coming from behind her.

She knelt on the seat and looked back, meeting the other person's caramel eyes, and then the man with a mustache winked at Vivi.

[Iron Man]

Wow... another superhero.

Weiwei smiled at him, returned to her normal sitting position, and opened her mouth to take the fries that Bella from the next table stuffed into her mouth.

Is the concentration of superheroes in this theater... too high?

The second promotional video is playing on the screen. This one was just shot. After all, the old footage has been used for many years and has not been replaced.

The content of this promotion is much more interesting, at least more special than the previous version, and more special than other cities -

The picture is a bird's-eye view, swooping down from the air. First, I see the special church in the East District. It is obvious that the naturally grown trees are integrated with the buildings spliced ​​on it. There are even real people living in this building. The picture changes, not a real shot, but a "sketch" of all the vigilantes in Gotham appearing in this city, and each of them has a close-up. Against the backdrop of the rhythmic BGM, this section is cool enough. Then, the wind blew, blowing the picture away, and the dull gargoyle suddenly moved, glancing outside the screen, it flew high into the sky, the bright moonlight sprinkled on the stone sculpture, and in the blink of an eye, a person suddenly appeared on the back of the gargoyle. It was Batman - this scene is clearly a real shot.

"Pfft." Scattered laughter broke out in the theater. Not only Weiwei couldn't hold back, many other people were also amused by this scene.

Weiwei remembered it, it was the Batman stand tied to the back of the gargoyle.

This scene is actually very cool, with Batman's cape flying and the background music just right, but Vivi remembers how her gargoyles only dared to appear once or twice when being chased by the real Batman, otherwise the sign would have been almost snatched away. Later, Batman himself showed up on night patrol, which put an end to the rumor that "Batman patrols at night on gargoyles."

But for Weiwei, it is clearly not a rumor.

After this scene ends, the screen turns completely dark, and then the movie officially begins.

She held her popcorn, leaned back, and started watching the movie, swinging her feet.

To be frank...if it weren't for Weiwei's way of playing the game, this movie wouldn't have happened. The player's behavior during the game has an impact on the future development of the game, and this impact is buried in various details. Such a game is really interesting, like a surprise easter egg.

The darkness on the screen slowly disappeared, and the whole world lit up.

The movie begins.

——It’s raining heavily.

——The camera suddenly rotates from top to bottom, facing the sky covered with rain. Finally, during the rotation, all the raindrops in the sky fall into the black pupils of a red-haired girl.

The girl's name is "Irene". Her parents are divorced and she lives with her father. Her father is too busy at work and the way he takes care of his daughter is rough. Irene is ridiculed at school. After returning home, because Gotham is not safe enough, she can only stay in her room and stare at the rain outside the window.

Because she was too lonely, Irene began to imagine that the plants and dolls around her were her friends. She played games with the dolls and talked to herself in the mirror.

But she soon got tired of this kind of life. She didn't understand why her parents wanted to "divorce". Did divorce mean no longer living together? Then she went to live with her mother, tricked her father into coming to pick her up, and then threw away her father's umbrella, so that her parents had to stay together.

…and then we can get back together soon, right? she said to the gargoyle.

With a childlike style of painting, the movie tells the background story in less than ten minutes. In the switching pictures, they also see the city of Gotham through Irene's eyes. Children's perspective is different from that of adults, the height is different, and the focus is different. Irene has never felt how "dangerous" or "dark" this city is. It rains frequently here, and playing in the water is fun. The city's sewers have been renovated, and the frequency of street cleaning has been adjusted. These details are all easter eggs buried in the pictures, and will only appear on job advertisements posted on the wall or on promotional flyers thrown away at home. In the eyes of the girl, it is the fallen leaves following the water flow and making pleasant sounds under the beating of raindrops, the pedestrians' footsteps are hurried, and there are birds taking shelter from the rain at the windowsills at home.

Because her father was not at home, Irene could not go out. She sighed like a little adult and thought of the sheets hanging on the roof. She climbed onto the roof and found that the sheets were already soaked and needed to be washed again. The little girl simply put on the sheets, treating the patterned sheets as Superman's cape and happily turned around twice.

In the theater, moviegoers watched this scene with smiles.

Until now, although the main color of the picture is gray, it is dotted with different bright colors from time to time, so the picture of the movie is full of movement, and the plot does not seem depressing even though the little girl is the protagonist.

Then, Irene discovered the stone sculpture that was buried deep in the pile of debris.

At first, she just noticed something big down there. So she played the role of a superhero and started a one-person game, "rescuing the trapped," which was naturally the thing under the pile of junk.

Amidst a tense and exciting music, accompanied by increasingly heavy drum beats, Irene pushed open the wooden board, and a terrifying monster's head suddenly appeared!

——This scene is a little scary, and it was probably made with the intention of giving people a fright.

Because the next second, Irene breathed a sigh of relief: "What? It's a gargoyle."

The camera zoomed out, scanning the streets and alleys of the city where gargoyles were found. There were gargoyles at fountains, on walls, carved on trash cans, and on bricks. Gargoyles are a general term for a type of stone sculpture. Their open mouths are used to transport water from underground and spray it out of their mouths. In a rainy city like Gotham, these stone sculptures can be seen almost everywhere. Their terrifying appearance is due to rumors -

It is rumored that the gargoyles are guardian stone statues, monster-like creatures that are meant to drive away evil and protect humanity.

After all, this is an animated movie, and the gargoyles in the picture are not that scary, they even have a kind of silly and cute feeling. Irene jumped around the edge of the roof and found that the gargoyle statue was originally supposed to be installed on the rooftop of the apartment, but now it has been removed and thrown on the roof.

In reality, the gargoyles were only decorative and had no original function. Now there are better drainage pipes and the stonework is too heavy. The newly built apartment was intended to follow the old urban precedent, but developing cities always leave something behind.

Of course Irene wouldn't understand this part. The rain was getting heavier. She just opened the door to the rooftop, thought for a moment, ran back, and draped the bed sheet over the gargoyle's head.

But at this moment, thunder exploded, Irene jumped up in fright, and then she heard a "bang".

——The strong wind blew the rooftop door closed, and she left her key inside the door.

Obviously, Irene couldn't go home, and her only hope now was to wait for her father to come home and find her gone.

This scene is actually quite scary if you think about it carefully, but animated films are aimed at children after all, and the funny style of the film makes the following plot not so scary.

After realizing something was wrong, Irene began to actively look for a solution. She first tried to abandon the foam box and ask for help from others, but there were few pedestrians on the road due to the heavy rain. Then, she put on a red raincoat, tied a bamboo pole with a bed sheet, and went to poke the window opposite. She received a row of warm greetings. She also wanted to talk to the kitten who came to the rooftop to avoid the rain, and tied the school badge hanging on her chest around the cat's neck, but the cat ran much faster than she expected, and wild cats are not friendly at all.

Finally, with nothing left to do, Irene could only squat in the small space created by the miscellaneous items and wait for the rain to stop.

"Maybe I should call Super-Man--" she whispered to the gargoyle beside her, "but will Super-Man come in this case?"

"Superheroes are too busy," she sighed like a little adult, "I'll just wait here for Dad to come home."

The scene changes, and Irene's father is working overtime. He looks out the window at the heavy rain, and imagines his daughter staying home safely.

——"Wait, why is Irene's father an employee of the City Hall?" Anna asked in a low voice. She wondered what the people in the creative team meant.

——This picture is obviously taken from the City Hall. The City Hall no longer has an overtime system. As long as you finish the work at hand, you can leave because the mayor will not pay overtime.

In the picture, because of the dampness and coldness, Irene was leaning against the dried gargoyle, and suddenly she felt the stone sculpture beside her shaking.

The sheets above my head are about to fall off!

She grabbed the bed sheet suddenly, and the next second, she felt the pulling force coming from the bed sheet. She climbed onto the back of the gargoyle with one hand. The little girl Irene stared blankly, and the ground was thrown under her feet, getting farther and farther away from her.

—The gargoyle took flight
