Chapter 165 Published



What will it cost Jane?

She only needs to use this magical power——

“Stay afraid.”

This was not difficult for her, she was used to it, to be in fear, afraid of flying, afraid of other people's eyes, afraid of the harm that could come at any time, and the source of the harm was not her, she had done nothing wrong, she was hurt only because she was weak.

So she was afraid all the time. Even though they were rescued and the physical injuries disappeared, the injuries that had occurred still existed objectively. She was driven forward by fear, and now she is happy.

——Fear is much simpler than courage, and the power of fear can make her do something, which makes her feel that she is not so useless.

She landed among the gargoyles, silently gazing at the night view of the city, as if she had become a part of Gothic.

For the first time, her heart was completely at peace.

The activity time seemed to pass very quickly. In fact, Vivi did not do nothing during these days. She left the development of South Hinckley Town to Professor Daisy, and the main mission of Black Gate Island to Bella. She then asked the mayor to carry out normal social interactions and collect information about the infected people in the court. The main body, like other citizens, devoted itself to the game activities.

Although I am still working in essence, but of the four accounts, three are working and one is playing, which means at least 1/4 is playing!

Weiwei doesn't play games to become a social animal, she plays games because they are fun. At first, she just chased the Tin Soldier with the orphans in the church and raised her ranking in the Strange Circus, but later...

She became a troublemaker.

The props of the Tin Soldiers can be snatched away and used, but they will be besieged by other Tin Soldiers. In the activities of the past few days, most of these little people were eliminated and have already been lying in wait. However, this is not a problem for Weiwei, even if she doesn't cheat——

The skills Batman taught her also allow her to quickly find the traces of the Tin Soldiers.

Then, Weiwei took away the villain's weapons and started a group "parade" throughout Gotham City.

She parkoured on buildings, used all kinds of props to dodge attacks from all directions, and walked those little people from one end of the city to the other. Her parkour behavior was filmed countless times. Almost all the hidden little tin soldiers came out, and many were captured by other onlookers along the way, but Weiwei didn't care.

Finally stopping, she handed the gun back to the villain, and then an angry jelly hit her on the head. Vivi turned into jelly and fell on the lawn laughing.

——In the end, the Tin Soldiers event ended, and she did not release any of the little people into the sky.

Without fun, Vivi would occasionally run into Damian at the circus, and then she came up with an idea.

…She found a part-time job at a strange circus.

...Well, maybe she just can't spare the time.

The job was actually very simple. She just approached the goat leader and he agreed. Her job was to "deal with the criminals who intended to invade the circus", that is, to deal with those guys who sneaked in when the circus was closed.

Weiwei: “…” Well, she felt that this was implying her and Jason.

However, a magical thing happened after getting the job. Weiwei activated the side quest "Working in the Circus" and could choose to [Integrate] or [Stay as is]. [Integrate] meant that she obtained a temporary suit, limited to the circus.

She became a little brown bear wearing clothes, with a small black, white and gray vest in addition to her fur.

——The kind that walks upright.

Soon, homeless people living near the circus learned that a brown bear would guard the place at night and would throw out anyone who broke in to steal things.

However...even if this guy hadn't been guarding the circus, the other petty thieves didn't succeed in stealing anything. Not to mention that the games in the circus were free, the other guys who had sneaked in before all came out in a daze and in a strange state. They would talk nonsense for a while, and when they woke up, they would forget what happened.

But the appearance of this little bear also has its drawbacks, that is——

"Why do you steal things? You have hands and feet, you can earn money by helping in the queue, or by doing hard labor at the dock," Weiwei kicked a thief on the butt, "Why don't you do something for this city when you have time to steal things?"

It was the last day, and she had spent almost all of her diamonds for South Hinckley. Vivi looked at the last thousand or so diamonds and the few thousand worth of token firework sticks, and then looked at the "End of Event" notice on the official website.

There is still a quarter of an hour until 23:00 on June 7th.

At 23:00 sharp, the event officially ended, the limited card pool disappeared, and at the same time, her little brown bear skin would also be gone.

Weiwei squatted in the circus, sighed sadly, and then she raised her head——

On the last day of the circus, the competition for the points ranking was very fierce. Weiwei had fallen out of the top 10 when she was slacking off as an NPC, but she didn't care.

The bored little brown bear looked at the rankings that were jumping up and down all the time, and saw many familiar names. She went backstage and sat on a bench. From behind, she looked like a big toy.

In another quarter of an hour, the excitement will disappear, and everyone will be like having a lucid dream, celebrating the festival for older children. They will not notice anything unusual, and the city of Gotam will remain the same as before.

The cloth moved slightly, and at this moment a man flashed into the circus.

Weiwei: “?”

Then, another man walked in from another direction and pressed his short stick against the former's lower back.

Weiwei: “……?”

She maintained her original posture and silently opened the interface of the event card pool.

On the map, the points of these two people were clearly marked with their respective titles. However, the title of one of them was not the same as at the beginning. It changed from [Criminal] to [Red Hood], and the other one was [Robin], whom Vivi was very familiar with.

She pricked up her ears, ready to eavesdrop while drawing cards, since she was going to draw cards anyway.

——"Red Hood? Can I call you that... or something else, the identity behind the mask?"

—“She told you?”

Bronze Card, tsk, Weiwei curled her lips, she didn’t say anything.

——"No... I investigated you, just like you investigated me. Your investigation started a long time ago, and I happen to be a master in this area. I investigated Batman and became Robin - taking over your identity."

——"Are you trying to say that you inherited my identity simply because you are better than me, replacement?"

Gray card, Jason seems to be angry, but he is angry most of the time, he needs a switch to turn off his emotions.

——"I don't like the term substitute, Todd, I'm here to have a talk."

——"Very good, so you came alone?"

——"Yes (sound of limbs colliding), Todd! I know what you want to do, so we shouldn't...hiss, fight here!"

——"So you're trying to work with me? To earn my friendship by helping me? Ha, smart guy, so what do I want to do, little bird?"

——"(Takes a deep breath) Yes, I want to help you. I didn't tell any family members about you. If you really fell into a criminal, you wouldn't come to investigate this, the truth of the court, the underground entrance of the court. You came before it was completely over. I bet on it."

——"It seems that she didn't tell you everything. Does the old man want to train an enemy for himself?"

——"You said 'also', Todd. Batman will and we will all be watching her. She wants to save the city, so she is not an enemy."

Bronze card three in a row, is my luck a bit bad today? Weiwei smacked her lips, not many diamonds left.

——"So you chose to trust? Come on, the old guy doesn't trust anyone, he's just observing, just like he observed me at the beginning... After I died, he knew I was a failure... Yes, he replaced me, and you will be replaced soon, little bird."

——"Maybe, Todd, it seems that you know some information that I don't know yet, I will investigate. And... Weiwei...she has many secrets. She may not be human, or even the one I first knew, but she is now a hero. We don't have to trust her, we only have the responsibility to protect Gotan. The same goes for you, since you choose to return to Gotan (interrupted)——"

——"Come on, little birdie. I'm not back to play house. I'm tired of this game without death. You can't pull me back to my original world. Do you want to save everyone? You don't even know me. (Sneer) Because I was already dead when you showed up."

But the contract stipulates that you can't kill people in Gotan. Weiwei moved her ears, swiped across the interface, and continued listening openly.

——"But you are playing house now. You are willing to stay in South Hinckley and play house with her. She must have offered you a condition that you can't refuse."

--"……(silence)"

——"You know where Chou is, Todd. Will you take revenge? No, with the way she acts, you can't kill Chou in front of her."

Weiwei stared at the golden light in front of her in shock. In the previous moment, she drew a card casually, thinking about eavesdropping in her mind. She didn't think about what would be drawn, and was blinded by the golden light. What she drew was indeed the golden card with a higher probability during the event - [Thought Field].

...Is there some special metaphysics involved in drawing cards in this situation, so that you can definitely get what you want?

而身後,提姆說:“我猜你回到哥譚的目的絕不是讓小醜僅僅被關起來,但你現在改變了,這說明一切都是可以改變的……回家吧,他會很高興的。”

代幣還剩下一點,積木建築等等兌換出來後就是永久的,其他都是限時道具,薇薇用剩下的代幣兌換了系統出品的煙花,煙花瞬間出現在預設好的地點,立刻綻放在哥譚市的上空,就當是慶祝自己出金了,她想。

焰火的光芒穿透了帳篷的遮擋,将對峙中二人的臉照得明明滅滅,他們的表情也顯得模糊不清。

傑森冷聲道:“你不會理解的,至少現在不會,小鳥,因為你還沒被抛下過。我們穿着奇裝異服,出現在這個城市所有犯罪的角落,扮演拯救者的角色,而不是等待死亡到來的遇害人,所以你現在還無法理解。”

他頓了頓,然後說:“讓開!”

他沒有說出更惡毒的話,沒有必要。

傑森曾經以為,只要第三只鳥繼續當這個城市的英雄,那早晚會有那一天,被抛棄,被殺害的一天,可現在事情似乎有轉機——和他無關,他死得太早,他沒能等到這個轉機。

【當前時間為6月7日23:00:00】

【“哥譚市兒童慶典”已結束】

【當前未消耗鑽石糖1799枚,未消耗金幣糖191520枚,糖果消耗後,玩家會獲得鑽石、金幣返還】

【活動商店已關閉,活動卡池已關閉(概率調整時間段已結束)】

【恭喜玩家度過了快樂的兒童節。】

薇薇雙手交叉放在小腹處,依舊一動不動,但她的外表扭曲的一下,在皮膚的作用消失,變成原樣之前,她使用之前抽卡出來一張一次性幻術系青銅卡,暫時保留了原本小熊的模樣。

——哥譚旅游網站上顯示的活動時間是由薇薇提供給提姆的時間,她當然留了一手,結束時間為24:00,而不是真正的23:00,而薇薇記得,馬戲團是坐着一艘船來到哥譚市的,他們把船只拆卸後,重新組裝成了馬戲團。

現在活動結束,錫兵人消失不見,地圖上沒有了C先生投影的蹤影,迷宮入口消失,這些都是可以瞬間消失的東西,但馬戲團……不出意外,他們會把帳篷拆掉,組裝成一艘船。

這很不符合科學原理,但很符合游戲原理,甚至讓薇薇有一種既視感,因為南欣克利的小鎮建築也是可以組裝與拆卸的,而積木建築是這次活動商城換來的,按照薇薇對策劃的了解,活動內容與商城獎勵是會扯上一定聯系的,這聯系就在這處帳篷上!

在焰火光下,薇薇站起來,頂着她的小熊皮膚,對兩個闖入者露出标準的微笑:“兩位客人,馬戲團開放時間已結束,請不要擅自闖入後臺。”

她單手按住一旁支撐用的柱子,然後直接将柱子舉了起來,重複了一遍:“請不要擅自闖入後臺!”

伴随着她說完這句話,馬戲團內部的“裝飾物”閃動了一下,就像是燈光也随着她的話語一同熄滅了,活動結束,煙花也卡在最後一秒放完了,室內安靜而黑暗。

薇薇知道,羅賓和紅頭罩這兩個人……他們才不會遵守規則。

留下來攔住她的是——

是羅賓,他用了電擊飛镖。

薇薇用巨大的武器遮掩自己的戰鬥方式,她瞥了眼上方懸挂着的“燈”,那其實根本不是燈,那是史萊姆們,它們已經發出了幽幽的光,不過,薇薇的目的并不是“阻止他們”,打工支線在剛剛完成了,她的目的就是手裏的柱子和跑動中挂在身上的尼龍繩。

她知道,南欣克利的建築裏,牆壁與窗戶是沒法整個卸下來帶走的,但如果把窗戶拆下來,那建築會不會沒法恢複成原本的積木形态?她可以試一試。

靠着驅趕跑進來的兩個“身手矯健”的小賊,她合理地把作為建築一部分的大部件帶出了馬戲團範圍,且越帶越遠,傑森、她、提姆三人先後跑進了隔壁那棟大樓高處,而現在,已經是23:07了。

客人們散去地差不多,就在他們跑出來的功夫,傑森從窗戶處瞥了一眼,一愣——

整個馬戲團帳篷被拆掉了,然後組成了半艘船,但另外一半還放在地面上,能看出馬戲團的成分。

馬戲團的動物們一部分待在遠處,一部分則仰起頭,看向他們,然後,這些強壯高大、直立行走的動物往他們所在的方向沖了過來。

什麽鬼?

這是要搞群毆嗎?

提姆也是這樣想的,他與傑森被逼到了一個房間裏,不知道為什麽,那頭小棕熊似乎很了解他的戰鬥路數……巧合嗎?還是他已經被看穿了?

在他以為他要和傑森并肩作戰的時候,他沒能并肩作戰,而在他以為他們暫時沒法合作的時候,他們卻被一頭熊趕到了一間房間裏,被迫把背後交給對方了。

而現在不僅是熊,熊小姐沒法交流,只是重複道他們不應該入侵馬戲團,其他的動物趕過來,窗邊飛進了史萊姆,熊小姐把立柱丢過來,被傑森閃開,卡在了房間正中間,那些史萊姆就像是收到信號一樣,全沖着兩人過來了。

薇薇掃過此時系統刷出來的任務,随手點了确定。

【南欣克利-鑽石小鎮項目确認,新公司初組建完畢】

【你獲得主線任務:南欣克利發展期】

【城市由街道、區域與小鎮組成,南欣克利是哥譚市的一部分,南欣克利的發展也會影響到城市的綜合評定,好消息是——它似乎在變好】

【本主線任務每月結算一次】

【視南欣克利鎮的發展程度結算獲得金幣、鑽石等獎勵】

然後,一只手在此時按在她的肩膀上。

白羊站在她身後,語氣平靜:“我們要離開了。”

史萊姆們撞在傑森的頭罩和提姆的肩膀上,黏黏糊糊的,又蜂擁着将立柱擡了回來,其他動物與那頭白羊一樣,靠着矯健的彈跳力與可怕的潛伏能力出現在房間的其他地方,幾乎把二人包圍,這是2對多,他們顯然不占優勢。

——不過他們不知道有一個隊友正混在對面的陣營裏。

“我正在完成工作。”薇薇說。

白羊沒有揭穿她,他只是搖搖頭,他對着正前方說:“這是你們的城市了。”

提姆淡淡道:“這裏一直是哥譚人的城市。”

動物們依次退出去,薇薇也跟着跳了窗戶,反正沒人攔她,她幽幽地看着船只組建完畢,思考着自己是否要冒險——冒險把這些動物攔下來,亦或者跟着他們上船。

薇薇沒有離開過哥譚市,因為之前在哥譚市看其他城市只能看到遠處扁平的貼圖,按照經驗就算她跑到海上也會卡在空氣牆上,後來在南欣克利她嘗試了,發現只要離開海灘範圍就是空氣牆了——游戲真貼心,沒浪費她時間在海裏游上半小時再遇到空氣牆。

不過,更新之後貼圖都變得真實了,這讓她蠢蠢欲動,既然制作了其他城市那早晚會開放的吧?不可能浪費地圖,活動期間她接觸了各地的NPC,他們都能自由出入城市,她就想靠上船試一試。

船只組建完畢,薇薇混在中間跟到了碼頭,然後,山羊團長站在所有動物前面,說:“我們的船沒有目的地,沒有起始點,也沒有終止點,不接待人類,上交你心中最重要的東西,你就可以上船了。”

“你們是否确定自己的選擇?”

沒有動物回答,然後,所有動物依次上船,可輪到薇薇時,團長一只腳卡在了她前方,最後,只剩她一頭熊留在了碼頭。

薇薇暗暗嘆氣。

她看見船只前進了十幾米,然後,就像來時那樣,它突兀消失了。

不過,“沒有目的地”“沒有起始點”“沒有終止點”,他們究竟是在哪裏航行呢?

在其他人眼中,就像是小棕熊被抛下了,因為她沒有付上船的船資,在薇薇身上丢下了竊聽器的提姆和抱臂站在一旁的達米安都是這麽想的。

那前十獲得的友誼獎勵真的只是友誼而已,而對達米安來說,他獲得前十是因為後來那頭強大的、不知由誰操控的大白狗沒有來,這種由其他人放棄而獲得的勝利讓他很不爽,故而因為最強大的對手不在,後續的戰鬥他也興致缺缺,并沒有去争奪那個沒意義的第一。

但此時,看到一個(一頭?)熊待在碼頭,達米安從旁邊的倉庫頂部跳下來,走到她身邊問:“你也是友誼的獎勵嗎?”

薇薇幽幽看了他一眼。

她決定送他一個獎勵,她彎下腰,給了男孩一個擁抱。

The assassin kid was arrogant towards everyone else but very gentle towards animals, so even though the hug was sudden, he didn't break away. Then, with the help of the hug, Vivi attached the eavesdropping device that Tim had stuck on her "hair" to the back of the kid's collar.

——You three brothers go and have fun.

The next second, she leaned back, fell into the water, and chose to teleport away.

Weiwei didn't pay attention to the subsequent developments. She took off her disguise and appeared at Gotam Airport.

There is one disadvantage of being Professor Daisy, as she will not work at night. In other words, except for Vivi, other character cards now have fixed sleeping and eating times. Daisy is in poor health, and the doctor has expressly forbidden her from staying up late.

However, when the professor is not working, Weiwei is still very active.

She could just take over the professor's job and interview, or rather, greet the people sent by investor Luther, as well as the Blytheson alumni who were on the same flight with them.

On the surface, the former had nothing to do with Luther, but Luther also sent some literature that might be of interest to the University of Budejovice Student Association as a token of his sincerity in cooperation.
