Chapter 119 The Cruel Aunt
The dagger is only the size of a palm, with double-sided blades, and the workmanship is by no means exquisite. There is no decoration on the handle, and it is just an ordinary weapon no matter how you look at it.
Thea played with the dagger in her hand, but didn't see any mystery, and didn't know if she could take it out, so she put it in her belt and continued to search around.
Time passed quickly, and when she repeatedly confirmed that the room was empty, more than an hour had passed, and there was no watch in the room, so she couldn't estimate the exact amount, so she could only make a rough estimate.
Putting his legs on the table in boredom, he closed his eyes and meditated.
Just as she became more impatient and was about to stand up and open the door, the answer sheet on the desktop disappeared as silently as before.
Immediately after she was unprepared, an invisible flame seemed to burn from within her. "Wow--"
This is...what...the ghost! For this invisible and intangible thing, she really didn't know what to do, she just felt that the blood in her whole body was rushing desperately towards the flame, a large amount of blood was transformed into an unknown substance, and every second was spent extremely long.
With the inexplicable loss of blood, she felt that her thinking ability was getting weaker and weaker, and her mind was blank, who was she and where was she now? The body is gradually taken over by instinct, and consciousness is slowly swallowed by endless nothingness.
When she re-aware of her own existence, Thea found that she had left the secret picture scroll and returned to the original starting point. The swamp monster was still staring at her with those big blood-red eyes in the distance.
Touching his body, he found that the Kevlar was still intact, and the dagger he found was hanging conspicuously on his waist.
But now she is not in the mood to care about the dagger, she just feels sore all over and has no strength at all.
"What happened to me? How long has it been?" Naturally, the target of the question was the swamp monster not far away, but the voice was a little low and I wondered if the other party could hear it.
The swamp monster looked at her carefully from head to toe. The penetrating gaze made Thea's skin crawl. He said slowly, "You do have extraordinary potential, and your bloodline has been successfully opened."
Thea doesn't know if she has the potential, but she just feels that she is about to die, her body strength is less than 30% of her usual strength, her breath is unsteady, her steps are weak, and she sweats after taking two steps. She checked her pulse and her heart rate is also slower than usual. Little, I touched the skin on my face, and it was no longer as elastic as it used to be.
How hurt I was! I want to feel the so-called blood of the swamp monster with my heart, but I feel dizzy and see double shadows. This is probably a symptom of ischemia.
The swamp monster also seemed to see that she was so weak that a gust of wind could blow her away, and explained slowly.
"Don't worry, this is a good thing. When you first awaken, there will be a process of refining pure blood. As for why you are so weak, I don't know. After all, I am not a magician..." The swamp monster said The movement of spreading hands, but the huge height of five meters does not look cute at all.
Thea is also powerless to complain now, what you said is the same as if you didn't say it.
My soul is light...Although I am so weak that I can't even beat Director Gordon (Director Gordon: Ah, who is scolding me!), but fortunately, I came out on a skateboard, and I was able to fly back to the camp at a leisurely pace.
He waved at the swamp monster and prepared to say goodbye. He was still friendly to him. This guy was not on the magic side in terms of size, so it was useless to ask. He should go back and rest early.
"This is for you." The swamp monster put away the cup, and took out a green fruit from the ground and handed it to Thea.
"This is?" Thea looked at this thing. It was as big as a coconut and glistened with oil. The emerald green color was reminiscent of some cyanide, and the surface was also covered with strange-shaped lines. Is this for food? Isn't this a devil fruit, or is it a natural one? But Thea thought it was impossible with her toes.
"I didn't know that what you awakened was the blood of that sage,
But the earth can carry everything, this fruit can further stimulate your blood, this is specially given to you by me, I can see every corner of the city, you make Gotham shine again, you are a good boy, justice needs you strength. "
Although being sent a good person card by a green creature more than five meters tall, Thea still felt very happy, and it seemed to be a bit beneficial for her to urge rain every day.
Smiling and accepting the fruit, this thing can stimulate blood again? It seems to be pretty good, but the previous experience makes Thea a little scared now, and she is extremely weak, so let's keep this fruit for now.
Seeing the swamp monster slowly sinking into the ground, Thea didn't care about counting the things, she found the direction of the camp, and flew back crookedly.
Fortunately, during the two recent Arkham sieges, several major crime families in the city were involved in the battle, and the villains in the urban area were all summoned away. The spectacular scene of being greeted by rocket launchers when they first arrived in Gotham did not appear. Only then did she fly back to the stronghold safely.
She was going to go back to the room quietly, but she still alarmed Felicity, who lives next door to her. This girl has been getting closer and closer to Catwoman recently, and the two of them are playing video games in the room. Both of them came out to inquire.
"Thea, what's wrong with you?" Catwoman has been walking around her for the past few days because she is her big boss, but now she can't pretend not to know her when she meets her head-on. Quickly asked.
How should I explain myself? It’s okay for these people to say that they have obtained bloodlines, but Batman’s attitude of hostility towards some unnatural things must be taken into account, so as not to lose some prestige after hard work.
Just as she was thinking hard about how to make up the lie, Felicity, who had always had a big brain, looked at her for a while before saying in a tone of sudden understanding, "Your one is here? You are so big this time!"
In a trance, It took a long time for Thea to understand what she was referring to. Your sister, you can bleed so much at one time! My blood loss was almost one-third, but after thinking about it, Thea realized that it was true that in the past few days, although the shipment volume at one time was a bit higher than the standard, it was at least a reason to explain it. Although it was a bit embarrassing, it was also This fact is tacitly acknowledged.
Catwoman understood the meaning of this in a second, and she was very enthusiastic. She helped her back to the room like an old lady, and volunteered to boil brown sugar water for her.
Barbara, who lived nearby, didn't know whether she was in the mood of watching a good show or really caring about her comrades. When she heard about her, she jumped out of Robin's room to help without saying a word.
Batman was doing recovery training, and hurried over when he heard that she was injured, but found that she was surrounded by women, using his rich knowledge, surpassed Lex Luthor's IQ to judge the specific situation, and fled in a hurry.
