Chapter 6: The Gap Between Ideal and Reality “What a shame, Dre…
"What a pity, Derek isn't here today." There was a hint of gloating in this sentence, and it was hard to imagine that this was something a teacher would say.
That’s right, the teacher is here too. Because Liu Shu really did a lot, she also gave some to the teacher of the last class at noon.
"If I make more next time, he'll eat it." Liu Shu looked at the snacks piled up like a pyramid on the table and placed the last cat cake on the top. These snacks were all given by classmates, and they were all a variety of small cookies and breads.
You know, Liu Shu's idea of cooking started because of these dry breads and biscuits. Is this what humans should eat at noon every day? Who would eat snacks at noon?
But she still accepted her classmates' kindness. After all, everyone thought she had specially made so many snacks and brought them to school to share with everyone. How was that possible? Was she that kind of person?
"It's delicious! If I can get the first place in the exam, I would be happy to eat this every day." This classmate was even more whimsical.
"Would you like to sit with me in the afternoon class?" Winnie invited Liu Shu. "The craft class is divided into groups. We can work together."
"Okay." Liu Shu nodded. She was actually very much looking forward to her class schedule because it was all things she had never seen before.
Magical science, divination, and vampire studies. The first two look like Hogwarts classes, a bit mysterious. The handicraft class seems a bit ordinary in front of them.
"What exactly is the course "Vampire Studies"? Do we really need to study them?" Liu Shu asked Winnie while drawing marks on the black cloth. She didn't know why the people in Gotham were able to catch vampires.
"Hahahahahaha...that, really." Winnie suddenly laughed, she covered her forehead, and after a long while, she hooked her finger at Liu Shu.
"?" Confused, Liu Shu put down the chalk in his hand.
"The course 'Vampire Studies' has another name," she leaned closer to Liu Shu and whispered to her, "'Film Appreciation'."
This is enough. Who chose this name? Is there no one to supervise the school?
"What about 'Magical Science' and 'Divination'?"
"It's the lab class and psychology."
“…”
"Don't make that expression, it's still very interesting." Winnie picked up the fabric and chalk on the table, drew the last line on it, and the next step was to cut it.
Liu Shu lowered her head and began to choose the color of the sutures. She couldn't help but say, "But compared to their names... they're far inferior. After all, vampire magic divination is more attractive."
"This is reality." Winnie shook her head and started to use scissors on the pile of cloth in front of her.
Since they were both very skillful, they quickly sewed it, stuffed it with wire, and filled it with cotton.
was born, it was the Batman rag doll.
"It's really good, the stitches are so fine, and there's even a skeleton inside? Looks like it deserves a high score." The handicraft teacher saw Liu Shu's set of finished puppets and shook hands with it.
"You can take it away. I've taken photos." The teacher said and walked to the next table.
"I'll give this to you. I made a lot of similar things in the past two years."
"Okay, thank you." She will put this little thing away. Liu Shu held it up. "I'll take it with me to buy groceries tomorrow. That way, no one will dare to rob me."
Winnie looked confused, "Can it be used this way?" Why didn't she remember using it this way?
Ryushu didn't know if the Batman doll could stop criminals, but she knew Batman could.
As night fell, gunfire began to blaze again at the edge of Red Hood's territory.
"Did you really carry that book with you?" Curly fired a shot at the rooftop in the distance, then quickly squatted down. He saw what the bearded man was holding.
"Don't you care?" He covered the book with his hand, hesitant.
Curly nodded vigorously. He was extremely curious. "Didn't you forbid us to see it? Open it quickly."
"So I open it?"
"Open it, open it."
The opened book did not have any magical light effects as imagined, it was just ordinary English.
"Weapon standard: 1: a gun, 0.7: a grenade..."
"What is this?" Curly could also read, but he didn't understand it at all.
"Calculate the number of weapons you possess. Add them up. For 1-10, go to page 8; for 11-20, go to page 19..."
The bearded man looked around at their weapons, then continued to turn the pages according to the contents of the book.
"The number of personnel on both sides..."
"For terrain, mountains, please go to page 34; for cities (high places), please go to page 38; for cities (low places), please go to..."
"The terrain on both sides is high on our side and low on the enemy side. Please go..."
This is a strategy book. If you follow it to the last page, you will find the text that teaches you how to win.
"Ofer, go to the place on the far right," the bearded man stopped the man who was about to rush to the open space and pointed him to the location. "Remember? It's the building where I bought cigarettes before. Go to the rooftop."
"Take these and go from the back."
Since the boss is very powerful, the Red Hood Gang has no shortage of weapons. Although the three of Bearded Man are marginal members of the gang, they are not short of much either. The reason they are not doing well is simply because they are not good enough.
Now that they can practice more.
"You did this???" A man wearing a black baseball cap looked at the bearded man in disbelief.
"..." The three people had different expressions after forcibly cutting off a small piece of the black mask's territory. Like this surprised man, they were shocked by their own strength.
"Beard... no," the tall, thin man in the black peaked cap quickly changed his words, "William, you have to take care of me from now on."
"And George, hey, I gave you half a box of bullets last time." He patted Curly's shoulder and began to get close to him.
"Didn't you lose the bet?" Ofer looked at the dust on his clothes, thinking only of what his mother would say to him when he got home, completely ignoring the social etiquette in front of him.
"You can't say that..."
It's so noisy.
She didn't know if those three had read the book. She hoped to quickly give Red Hood more territory so he could sleep well at night. She really didn't want to completely replace the walls of her bedroom. Liu Shu rubbed the face of the Batman doll. She was very confident in the guidebook.
After all, it is so detailed, and the battle plans contained therein are all the wisdom of the hometown and the fairy boat. Do you understand the value of the ceiling of human strategies?
Liu Shu drew aside the curtains of the living room and saw a group of children standing in the alley, seemingly talking.
With her excellent eyesight, she could see clearly that those children, who were only a few years old or in their teens, all looked malnourished, and some of them were squatting on the ground with their hands on their stomachs.
The man who stole her parts last time was also there. What a coincidence! Liu Shu put down her hands and looked back at her own refrigerator. There were still a lot of jam biscuits and cat cakes in it. If she left them any longer, they might go bad.
Liu Shu threw them into the group of children like throwing away garbage and left without looking back. She had to go out today.
The little boy who was hit in the face stared blankly at Liu Shu's back.
"This is chocolate mousse, please enjoy." The waiter bowed to Liu Shu and walked into the store.
It wasn't that there wasn't room inside; it was just that the outdoor view was better, so Liu Shu chose to sit outside. This was considered the heart of Gotham City, with wide streets, brightly dressed people, and colorful lights adorning the plants. It was completely different from Crime Alley.
On a tall building not far away, there is a large screen playing advertisements.
Liu Shu was quite mesmerized by the sight. She hadn't seen such a scene for a long time and couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.
"Ah, Liu Shu!" A familiar voice came from behind.
It was Winnie. She walked quickly to Liu Shu, holding the hand of a little girl who looked very similar to her.
"Winnie? Good afternoon." Liu Shu nodded to her.
"You actually brought it with you," Winnie said, somewhat surprised, pointing at the Batman doll sitting next to Liu Shu. Then, she smiled and patted the person next to her, "Let me introduce you. This is my sister, Tina. She's twelve years old."
"Hello." Liu Shu looked at the child who was inseparable from her sister. She was wearing a white dress and had short light blonde hair. She looked very cute.
“…” Tina didn’t say anything, but just looked at her with her eyes open.
Winnie looked at her sister with some worry, raised her hand to touch her hair, and explained to Liu Shu: "I'm sorry, she is sick. She could speak a little not long ago, but because of something, now..." She didn't say anything else, just sighed, "Alas——"
The mental state of the people in Gotham has actually always been worrying, but this is the first time Liu Shu has seen it. She wants to say something to comfort her, but she doesn't know what to say.
"Can we share a table with you?" Winnie quickly cheered up. She looked around and found the scenery here was very nice.
"Can."
"Please enjoy your meal." The waiter bowed to them again.
They were quite polite, but that was probably because they tipped generously, and the food in this shop was quite expensive. Liu Shu rested her chin on her hand, stirring the lemon in the cup of black tea Winnie had ordered for her. She tapped the ice cubes with a spoon, making a crisp sound.
She pulled a small, pale blue stone from her pocket and pushed it in front of Tina. "This is for you to play with. If you meet a gray guy, maybe you can do something with it."
But I probably won’t meet him in this lifetime.
Although she didn't understand what Liu Shu meant at all, Winnie still smiled and thanked her.
"Oh, I forgot to buy groceries..."
Liu Shu, who only remembered what he was going to do today after closing the door, slowly walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, looked at the bread inside, and his heart finally died.
I went to a lot of places today and looked at everything, but I didn't buy any groceries. I can't go out tonight, so I'll wait until tomorrow, which is also a holiday.
She sat back on the couch, wanting to check the Gotham news, but Winnie suddenly called her.
"Thank you, Tina is very happy today."
"You're welcome." Liu Shu leaned back on the soft pillow and changed the channel on the screen in front of him.
"Actually... her attending physician was murdered, which dealt a huge blow to her." The person on the other end of the phone spoke in an extremely unconfident voice, which was rare.
Liu Shu, who sat up straight, was a little confused. "Didn't you hide it from her?"
"In front of her..."
"Sorry." That was a big shadow.
"Don't say that. I should thank you for listening to me. Next month, I will take her to England for medical treatment. I hope everything goes well."
"come on."
"I'll do my best."
Liu Shu didn't ask where her parents were. With Winnie's looks and conversation, it undoubtedly took money to cultivate her. The fact that she took her sister abroad for medical treatment also showed that her parents were very busy.
