Chapter 16: I don’t want to enter this botanical garden in my next life. “I…
"I thought you were going to work for Stark." Tim held the Spider-Man signature in his hand, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it.
"Don't worry, you have higher priority."
Liu Shu just wanted to see the Supreme Mage. If she could make herself familiar with him, she might be able to ask this professional for help with any problems she encountered in the future. She was also very interested in his collection of books.
"Really?" Tim laughed at the satisfactory answer, as he should.
No, she hadn't thought about working for anyone, Liu Shu suddenly thought before opening the door, but Tim had already walked away.
"Let's not chat so late today." Winnie's voice was muffled, as if she had buried her head in the quilt.
"Well, go to sleep."
“…”
"Do you think it's possible that Spider-Man spits out his silk?"
"Don't say it so disgustingly." Liu Shu answered her with his eyes closed.
"How about another word, secretion?"
“…” It’s not getting any better at all.
Another day of sleeping late.
After getting in the car, Liu Shu didn't ask the people next to her if they wanted to sleep, but directly pulled the curtains by the window because she knew that they all had to sleep.
"Good night." Liu Shu patted the backpack on his knees, hugged it and began to catch up on his sleep.
“…”
"You fell asleep faster than me." Didn't you get a good night's rest last night? Tim reached out and adjusted the curtains, closing them tightly.
In that case, he also wants to start working.
Tim held the tablet and ordered for half an hour.
"Here, these are your tickets, don't lose them." Winnie handed Tim the admission ticket with the name and picture of the botanical garden printed on it.
"Aren't you sleepy?" Liu Shu rested his chin on the bag and asked her with his head tilted. She obviously went to bed so late, why was she so energetic?
"You've already rested, are you still sleepy?" She waved her hand and continued to distribute tickets to students in the back row.
After the classmates got off the bus, Liu Shu was stunned at the entrance of the botanical garden. The map was so large and complicated, with all kinds of forks and paths, like a maze.
"Don't worry, you can find a staff member if you get lost." Tim said, pointing to the exit.
"Where are the staff members?" There was no mark on the map, so Liu Shu picked up his phone and took a picture of the map.
"Want to come with me?"
Liu Shu nodded, "Winnie wants to explore the entire park, I can't do that."
A good child is one who knows when to retreat. Otherwise, if you run out of energy while following Winnie, you might have to ask others to wait, which might even disrupt her plans. It’s better to find someone to slack off with her.
Many of the students walked inside as if they hadn't seen the map. Liu Shu turned around and saw that besides her and Tim, only Winnie and the teacher were looking.
When arriving at a new place, looking at the floor plan first can help you escape faster when encountering danger. It seems that they have not developed this habit.
However, there are no maps for many dangerous places in Gotham, so people can only rely on their physical strength and the speed they develop through daily training, just like antelopes on the grassland, running faster than the old, weak and sick.
"What strange grass." Liu Shu supported himself on his knees and bent down to look at the plants on the ground.
Its leaves are round. Is it really grass? Or is it a seedling of some tree?
Tim looked at a rose in a pot without saying a word.
"Beautiful." Liu Shu, who was short of adjectives, felt that this was enough. She couldn't compose a poem on the spot.
But Tim's expression was strange, as if he had seen something dirty.
"Its petals are slightly poisonous." Poison Ivy had used it before, so it was considered a rare flower.
That's very bad, Liu Shu nodded. She seemed to know why Tim had that expression. It must be the psychological trauma left on him by the villains in Gotham.
Tim sighed. He found that everything around him was strangely familiar. Many plants had fought with him before.
"Are you tired? Let's find a place to rest." Liu Shu patted his shoulder.
"Not really," Tim rubbed his forehead. "Want to walk around a little longer?"
"Then let's go this way, through the greenhouse, where we can rest and have some snacks." Liu Shu looked down at the photo of the map he had taken and pointed to the road on the left.
"good."
Soon, Tim was not well.
The greenhouse is full of carnivorous plants, which the staff keep well.
"The colors of the plants here are so bright." Tropical plants are indeed very suitable for viewing. Liu Shu is looking at the insect trap next to a pitcher plant.
But someone here was eaten by an enlarged version of this plant once, and despite the protection of a uniform, the corrosive liquid still injured his arm.
"Is this a Venus flytrap? Why doesn't it have a brand name?" Liu Shu saw the familiar plant on the soil with some dead leaves.
The Venus flytrap cultivated by Poison Ivy is not only ferocious, but the bristles on its leaves also become hard, and it will chase and bite people.
Tim decided never to visit a botanical garden again.
"Why is everyone here?" Liu Shu was a little confused. Many classmates gathered in the rest area.
"I've seen Poison Ivy use this before."
"Yes, yes, that's it. It's so scary. I almost got tied up last time."
So is this a psychological shadow for everyone? Liu Shu sat on a bench eating cookies and secretly listening to the conversations of the students around him.
Even when they are away from home, they must always remember the symbol of Gotham villains. This is the bond between them, the people of Gotham.
"What is this?" Tim picked up a card from a pile of snacks.
"Oh, Tony gave it to me." Liu Shu actually refused, but his card had Captain America printed on it, which was very cool.
"Tony?" It's only been one day, and you can call me that?
"Yesterday we went to play at a very far place and saw a large group of ghosts." Liu Shu said seriously.
"I was here first."
"Don't say weird things." Liu Shu stuffed the candy in Tim's hand into his mouth.
The sweet apple-flavored lollipop made him squint his eyes. His classmates’ snacks were just delicious.
"Winnie isn't here." Was she really going to finish her tour here? Liu Shu didn't find her squad leader here.
"We'll be able to see her at the meeting point in another hour." Tim leaned on the wooden bench and looked up at the sky.
He knew the time without looking at his phone. Liu Shu also looked up. Did he judge it based on the position of the sun? So amazing.
A shadow came over, Tim didn't touch Liu Shu, but blocked the sunlight.
"?"
"Are you really a Kryptonian? It doesn't look like it." Superman has fainted and fallen over, but he has never been weak.
She looked a little too fragile, but Tim knew that no one should be underestimated, and the power of wisdom is not reflected in appearance.
"How do I tell the time with it?" Liu Shu felt that he should change the subject, otherwise he would definitely bring up the past again.
"Well, looking at the shadow or the position of the sun is mainly estimation. Combining the two will be more accurate, but not as good as a clock." Tim stood a stick-shaped biscuit upright and showed her how to read it.
"I understand." Liu Shu nodded. She felt that the person on the other side might have mastered a lot of these little tricks. The vigilantes of the Bat Family were all smart and had strong hands-on skills.
I don't know why they become strength-type humans when they grow up. The recovery ability of pure humans is actually not as good as their mutated enemies. Although head-on combat can suppress them the fastest, it is difficult to recover after being injured, and the body will get worse and worse under such circumstances.
"Is it not a good idea for a ranger to become a warrior?" Liu Shu asked while biting a candy cane.
"What game?"
"Earth Online."
"?" Tim was a little confused, but he saw the serious expression on Liu Shu's face.
"Humans are more compatible with rangers and mages."
"You're right. It would be much better to have aliens as warriors. The team needs someone who can take on injuries." Tim suddenly understood.
He understands the principle, but if a fight breaks out, he will probably try again. If he fails, he will try again.
Time waits for no one, they must defeat the villains as quickly as possible to reduce casualties among ordinary people.
"We're short of a priest." After saying that, Liu Shu broke the candy into pieces. The fragments were a bit prickly in his mouth, but they melted quickly.
"Well - but it has nothing to do with us." This was a lie. Tim lowered his head and unscrewed the mineral water.
It is a good thing that there is no abundance in this world, and it is also a good thing that there is no concept of star gods.
Because when it develops to a certain level, God will become an obstacle. If you want to cross it, you must abandon Him or become Him.
If one discards the foundations provided by all previous gods, is it truly possible to surpass their power? Becoming a god would only create a new obstacle, firmly locked in that position. This presents a dilemma.
"It's so nice here." Civilization only needs to rely on its vitality to move forward freely. Liu Shu took the snack bag in his hand and began to look for a trash can.
Why are you suddenly sighing about this? Tim, who often felt stupid for not being able to keep up with his classmates' train of thought, looked at the plastic products in his hands and stood up to throw away the trash with Liu Shu.
"Leaving now will probably make us arrive at the meeting point ten minutes early." Tim picked up his backpack. "Let me help you."
"Thank you." When going out, it is best to give yourself enough time to return. Liu Shu very much approves of his behavior.
After reaching the bus, she checked the time and saw that it was indeed ten minutes longer.
"If there is a newspaper spread on a chair, will you fold it?" Liu Shu asked the person standing on the steps.
"Yes."
"So if a puzzle piece is missing, do you take it apart or leave it there until you find the right piece?"
"It's painful no matter what I choose. I can't find the lost puzzle piece no matter how hard I look. I might as well take it apart and pretend I never put it together." Tim looked painful. He had actually experienced this.
"If you have a book with a spine that's half red and half yellow, and a book with a spine that's half red and half brown, would you put the same-colored halves next to each other?"
"Classification? I should put such a unique book in this way, but is there really such a book?" Tim has read many books, but he has never seen the one described by Liu Shu. Is it from her country? But he has read a lot of books from that country.
"It's okay." Liu Shu looked at the obsessive-compulsive disorder (cured version) in front of him and guessed that he was cured by various unexpected events in daily life. After all, villains can always disrupt everyone's plans.
As for the book she just mentioned, "It's just a bookshelf in a puzzle game. How could there be a place in real life where you can put things neatly and then unlock them? That's too childish."
The author has something to say:
