Chapter 50 Chapter 50 This is fate
"My name is Red Hood, but I have nothing to do with Little Red Riding Hood. Look, boy, I don't have a riding cape."
The man in the red motorcycle hood leaned over and showed Bob his shoulders, without the red cape. After the little boy was carried away by his parents, he turned to the magic boy and the man who wasn't called Poison Ivy and said, "Let's go. The police and the medical staff with the antidote will handle it."
The young magician nodded, and everyone only saw from afar that a dark, palm-sized long card suddenly appeared in his hand, and he gently tapped it with his unique bird-beaked wand.
The next moment, white wings spread out from the top of the staff, and the three strange people rode on the staff and galloped towards the horizon.
After they turned into white dots on the horizon, the long-silent crowd that had moved to a safe area finally erupted and began to discuss:
"What the hell, a card magic boy?"
"What the hell, Kinomoto Takashi?"
"The wizarding boy can ride a wand and a broom, so Hogwarts is real!"
"Didn't any of you pay attention to that Poison Ivy guy?"
"His name isn't Poison Ivy! His name is... what was it? I forgot because I was taking in so much incomprehensible images and information in such a short period of time."
"Isn't he calling Scarecrow? Look, Little Red Riding Hood and the Magic Boy are both here. Maybe he came from the set of The Wizard of Oz?"
"That's such an unlucky name! I think his name should be the Whomping Willow!"
"...That's exactly what you want to call it! You Hogwarts fanatic!"
"No matter what, it's better than your unlucky second-hand title of Scarecrow!"
"Will the Whomping Willow be enough?"
"You two stupid idiots, stop arguing. My name is Swampfire!"
........
By this time, the three teenagers who were at the center of the debate had returned to the sky and were heading to Bludhaven to continue their nighttime activities, completely unaware of the discussion being held by others.
.......Or maybe they don’t want to know.
Considering that Batman and Robin will be very busy because of the situation in Gotham, Alfred's workload will also increase when taking care of these two people.
Under such circumstances, Benjamin and Li Hua naturally couldn't continue to bother them. Jason, also out of concern for Alfred and the intention to continue to cause trouble with his friends, sent a text message to his family to explain the reason and report that he was safe. Then he and his friends returned to their rented house in Blüdhaven.
Once inside, Li Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief. He collapsed onto the second-hand sofa in the living room, into a peaceful, ready-to-be-buried position. "I'm alive again."
The Wayne family was very attentive in entertaining guests, but it was still better to relax and get comfortable in one's familiar nest.
One has to be more considerate of his image when visiting others, but in Bludhaven, the secret base built with his friends, Li Hua would not feel any psychological burden even if he was seen crawling on the ground. He could even talk nonsense and say that he was exploring the best meditation posture for the operation of magic power.
At most, Jason would say after seeing it: "If I had known you were going to crawl around, I wouldn't have mopped the floor."
Benjamin?
Just kidding, Benjamin has crawled on all fours the most times among the three. The most recent one was the spider monkey that appeared briefly at the Bludhaven Wharf, and the most distant one was the super-skilled man he turned into when he was ten years old. He didn't think there was anything wrong with crawling up and down in public, so what opinion could he have about Li Hua who was just stretching his limbs at home?
Benjamin pushed Li Hua's shoulder and said, "Excuse me, I want to sit on the sofa too."
Li Hua bent his legs and moved back one sofa space while facing the sky.
"You two are exhausted already? That's lame." Jason laughed loudly at the two people who were lying on the sofa in two places. He walked towards the wooden storage cabinet to get some snacks and drinks for himself as a midnight snack, but when he saw the empty cabinet.
Only then did Jason remember.
The day they went to find Nightwing was because they had lost all the money they had earned from "starting a business" in Bludhaven, and the three of them had eaten the last three cups of instant noodles here in the morning.
Money is no longer a problem now. Although Jason's social status has not been restored and he can't use his previous cards, Bruce directly stuffed a bank card into Jason's hand after he returned to Wayne Manor, and said in a generous manner that he could use it as he pleased.
But Jason just wanted a midnight snack. "Do you think the delivery guy can handle POS when ordering takeout at night in Blüdhaven?"
Benjamin: "Then you have to solve two other problems first - the safety of Bludhaven, is it safe for deliverymen to deliver food at night? And whether they are willing to deliver food."
So there were more people on the sofa.
In fact, they were not hungry. The dinner provided by Alfred was not only healthy and delicious but also filling. The three of them were obsessed with midnight snacks just like most humans, as a spiritual sustenance for the emptiness of the long dark night.
Commonly known as greedy.
Jason tried to make another effort: "Ben, aren't you going to pick up the kids from the Sun later? After you pick them up, why don't you buy some midnight snacks?"
"I plan to pick them up tomorrow morning and stagger our sleep schedules. Otherwise, they'll spend most of their time watching their parents and godfather sleeping, which is so pitiful. That's why I spent most of the morning playing with them."
Benjamin closed his eyes, as if that would bring him one step closer to the wonderful flavor of the slush in his mind, and he asked sadly.
"Jason, why did you go to the locker where we keep our snacks? If you hadn't gone there, I wouldn't have thought of the existence of something as sinful as midnight snacks."
Jason was regretting it now, but since things had come to this, he still decided to give it a try: "So, are you willing to transform for a midnight snack?"
Benjamin: "The slush shop is closed. I've lost my faith and don't want to move anymore..."
"Don't be discouraged, everyone. I have a plan to alleviate your cravings." Li Hua said, "Since we can't defeat the powerful demon of late-night cravings, let's release an even bigger demon."
Benjamin: "Raging sumo game?"
Jason: "Gossip about Dick and Bruce's past relationships?"
"Benjamin's is out of the question. We don't have a game console or game cartridges. Jason's is even more out of the question. We don't have any sunflower seeds or peanuts right now. You're poisoning us late at night, adding fuel to the fire of our already shaky defenses."
Li Hua sat up, his eyes flashing with desire and eagerness for the next activity.
"Let's draw a card!"
No. 666 had been saving experience for him to exchange for magic cards. Now the experience he had was enough for Li Hua to choose his own cards or draw cards randomly.
However, Jason and Benjamin were not very interested.
Benjamin advised earnestly, "If you have points, it would be better to choose an offensive card first to make up for your offensive shortcomings."
"It's okay. Number 666 said I have enough points to draw a card of my choice. I chose the [Dispelling] card, which can kill with one blow, as my last resort for a life-saving attack spell. I still have one chance to draw a card."
Li Hua rubbed his hands excitedly.
"I remember there's a card that turns into a dessert. If I could pull it out, that would be my midnight snack!"
"Genius!" Jason leaped up and rubbed his hands excitedly. "What are you waiting for? Let's draw!"
Benjamin also sat up straight. "How do you draw? Will No. 666 produce a deck of cards for you to draw from?"
No. 666: "No, I'll just start a random draw. Li Hua doesn't have to do anything."
Li Hua: "But that way there's no sense of ritual at all, and it feels like you're the one smoking, not me."
No. 666: "...Tsk."
He is young, but has many achievements.
A slowly rotating magic circle with complex patterns and brilliant colors suddenly appeared in front of Li Hua's eyes. In the center of the circle was a glowing rectangle with the same length and width ratio as the magic card in Li Hua's hand.
"I'll start a random rotation in the backend, just like a card drawing system. You reach into the magic circle and take out the cards. Does that feel ceremonial enough?"
Li Hua was overjoyed: "Wow! You can open a magic circle?! This is so cool!"
Jason squinted his eyes and leaned towards Li Hua, tilted his head, opened his eyes again, and said frankly: "I didn't see anything, Benjamin, how about you?"
Benjamin: “I didn’t see it this time either.”
No. 666: "Of course I can't see it. This virtual display capability is equivalent to each employee's personal account page, just like you can't log in and see other people's personal pages. I just projected the screen on the page to satisfy this kid's insistence on a sense of ritual."
Li Hua: "No wonder you call it an artificial intelligence assistant system. I was wondering why you called it a system but didn't even have a system interface!"
No. 666: "Before, you didn't have enough permissions to open the entire system store. You also didn't have enough permissions to unlock other features. More importantly, you're a violent mage who kills everyone you meet, so you never needed to use this feature. And after coming to this world, my internet connection was cut off, making this feature even more useless, or even unusable. You don't have to worry too much about it. This feature is not important to begin with, and it blocks your view, so it's disabled by default."
Li Hua: "Then what else can I do with this function?"
No. 666 thought for a moment and said, "I can use this to play movies, PDF files, and other things for you. If you unlock the permissions, you can also use this function to browse online stores and forums."
"Wow... so how is this different from scrolling through your phone?"
"There's no difference. Because of issues like reduced transparency and 3D motion sickness, my colleagues often use external devices to watch the video."
“…It feels no different from looking at a tablet or computer.”
"So I told you that this isn't an important feature, otherwise I wouldn't have just brought it out now to add a special effect visible only to you to create a sense of ritual. If it was something useful that you could use, I would have brought it out to you a long time ago." So, are we going to draw cards now?
Benjamin asked curiously, "By the way, did No. 666 just say 'tsk'? How does the artificial voice produce that tone of voice?"
Li Hua: "Oh, that's right! Just now, No. 666, you made an interjection sound!"
"...Do you think there's a possibility that there's something called recording playback in this world?"
666 felt his core spinning meaninglessly again—he was truly baffled by the curious teenagers. Didn't he say he wanted to draw a card? Why were they asking so many questions now? But out of professionalism, he had to explain.
"I'm an artificial intelligence system trained to have emotional fluctuations. I'd call you three idiots, so what's so strange about using an emotional particle? I won't talk about other universes. Let's just look at your home universe, Benjamin. The technological creatures created by Azmis, the Gavin Star Transformers, built a civilization just days after their birth. The Gavin Star Transformers have even become a popular race in the universe. There are also a large number of self-aware mechanical life forms on certain planets and in certain civilizations. Compared to these, my ability to use an emotional particle is nothing."
Li Hua pondered: "The Gavin shapeshifter... that black and green shapeshifter that can control machines? Were they actually created by Azmis?"
That little old frog is awesome! He can create races with his bare hands! He's like a gender-reversed alien version of Nuwa!!!
And from the fact that he placed this race into the Omnitrix, it can be seen that Azmis recognized the independence of this race.
"Wow—" Jason was deeply shocked by this amazing alien ecosystem. "Strictly speaking, does Azmis have a race of children? As expected of Benjamin's guide, the creator of the Omnitrix that turned the boy into a heroic mother, he himself is a male mother with thousands of children! By the way, what happened to that new race?"
No. 666: "The Biological Atlas says that the Gavin people left the entire planet of Gavin B, the satellite of Gavin, where Azmis conducted his experiments, to the Gavin Transformers, and helped them create a new civilization of their own within a few days."
Jason: "Doesn't that mean Azmis is the Adam and Eve of this species, producing and selling a planet full of alien offspring all by himself? Doesn't that count as a heroic mother reaching old age? Also, it seems Benjamin's trait of being both a father and a mother started with the guide! Anyone associated with this watch is doomed to be both a father and a mother!"
Benjamin suddenly realized, "Case solved! I was wondering how the galaxy's smartest minds could forget to add a feature to the Omnitrix to prevent alien lifeforms from self-producing. Turns out Azmis himself has done this very thing, so he subconsciously overlooked the problem!"
Seeing that Li Hua was still applauding Jason and Benjamin's cleverness, No. 666 couldn't stand it any longer: "Are we going to draw the card or not?"
I opened it and it worked well in drawing cards, but now I haven't drawn any cards in such a long time. Are you trying to make fun of it?
"Squeeze, squeeze, squeeze! Of course!" Li Hua was startled by No. 666's urging, and stretched out his hand to grab the glowing thing in his sight.
Although he originally wanted to draw the [Gan] card to solve the problem of midnight snack, but after chatting with Jason Benjamin for so long, his craving for gossip had long gone. Now that he had the [Xiao] card as a foundation, Li Hua did not have any strong expectations for this newly drawn card.
So, when Li Hua felt something in his hand and saw the gorgeous special effects disappear as the new card was drawn, he flipped the card over without hesitation. The Chinese character "闘" on the top of the card and the English word "THE FIGHT" on the bottom were exposed to everyone's sight.
"...What the hell? This is..."
Li Hua blinked hard, and after confirming again and again that he was not mistaken, the hand holding the card began to tremble slightly.
"[Dou] cards?"
-----------------------
The author has something to say: I drew four times, two times for the Doupai, and finally drew three times for the Doupai, Li Hua, you...
I can only say, No. 666, I tried my best, this is the will of the universe (close eyes).
PS: The Chinese character on the top of the original Clow Cards [斗] card is not [闘]. The difference between that character and 闘 is that the "寸" part is replaced by "斗". I have searched for a long time and couldn't find that character no matter in Japanese or here in simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese or ancient Chinese characters. The other form of the character 斗 in Japan is [闘], and it is also [斗] in normal times.
Considering that the character "斗" has variant forms such as 闘閗斗鬭?, I reasonably suspect that the non-existent character was created by combining "?", "閗" and "闘" into a similar form, or it was copied incorrectly! Because I can't find it! I searched for a long time in the middle of the night and really couldn't find that character!
Currently, the Chinese characters at the top of other Clow Cards do not appear in this issue... As for the [Fighting] card... Li Hua's card is not an original Clow Card anyway, so it makes sense that it is different from the original, right? (Manual patch)
