Chapter 1515 C: Twilight Event (Twenty-One)
Chapter 1508 C Twilight Event (Twenty-one)
Bruce came to Pamela not because of Pamela's project, but mainly because he knew that Pamela was the contractor of Green of All Things and could communicate directly with Green of All Things. Bruce wanted to communicate with Green of All Things through Pamela and get information about the upcoming enemy from him.
But Pamela's knowledge of botany really shocked him. Bruce couldn't help but asked in disbelief: "I've only been away from Gotham for a few weeks. How did you get so many, uh, plants that can kill people?"
"Amazing, right?" Pamela said unhappily. She folded her arms and began to pace between the flower pots, saying: "Thank you for the love of this damn sin city. I have decided to give up the cultivation of agricultural plants and turn to the new field of security plants. I will invite you when I go to receive the Nobel Prize, Mr. Wayne."
Bruce did not hear anger and helplessness in Pamela's tone, only a kind of cold humor that has been condensed to the extreme. He looked down at the lively plants all over the ground and walls, and couldn't help but sigh.
"How many of these plants do you have?"
"As many as you want." Pamela shrugged and said, "It takes a lot of seeds to cultivate the first crop. I have kept all the seeds. With the power of the green of all things, I can make them grow up instantly."
"Then...how about the fighting power?"
"Do you want to try?"
Bruce hesitated for a moment. It was a bit absurd that plants would attack people. He had never encountered it before. Bruce really couldn't imagine how aggressive the green plants in this small flowerpot could be.
"How about you find a weaker one and let it go?" Bruce asked tentatively.
Pamela sighed and moved a pot of ball lettuce from her feet. As soon as she took off the cover on the flowerpot, the ball lettuce jumped out directly.
"Wait a minute, this one is not anesthetized? It's over, this is the batch without anesthesia!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Crash! Crash!"
"Oh!"
A few dozen seconds later, Bruce covered one of his cheeks and pulled Pamela to the corner of the corridor of the teaching building, braked suddenly and ran in the other direction. He shouted as he ran: "Don't you have the power of the Green of All Things? Why can't you control them?"
"I asked the Green of All Things this question, but he couldn't read it back!"
"Doesn't this thing distinguish between friend and foe?"
"Don't ask too much of a plant."
"I am I have high expectations for you!"
More than ten minutes later, Victor and Nora were holding freezing guns, looking at the frozen plants on the ground and Bruce and Pamela sitting on the ground gasping for breath. He sighed deeply and said, "Bruce, you really should build a separate laboratory for Miss Pamela on that island. This kind of experiment is extremely dangerous even in Gotham."
"I'm just a botanist!" Pamela said in a breakdown: "Why do I need a laboratory with a security level? !"
"Thank this damn sin city." Bruce tilted his head and looked at her and said.
Afterwards, Bruce visited the Falconet Manor again. Gordon, Roy and Evans happened to be discussing the concert. After listening to Bruce's story, Roy was the first to say with some concern: "This shouldn't affect the concert in a month, right?"
"It's still early." Evans shook his head and said, "Come within a week, and it will definitely be solved within three weeks. Let's think about how to deal with this wave of magician invasion first."
And Bruce was concerned about another thing. He looked at Gordon and said, "Have you and your subordinates heard about someone making trouble because of being controlled by black diamonds recently?"
"Don't mention it, I was just about to talk to you." Gordon sighed and said, "Didn't we have a barbecue together in the East District before? Jack told me that he saw you A variety show hosted by the police, and it is said that a truck driver picked up a black diamond while driving a long distance. "
Bruce frowned slightly and said, "Is anyone injured?"
"That's the strange thing. I haven't heard of anyone going crazy, nor have there been any manic injuries."
"Where is the diamond now?"
Gordon shook his head and said, "I don't know. The truck driver seems to have sold it. This kind of gem that is not usually seen on the market should have some value. The drivers are short of money, so it is normal to sell it."
Hearing this, Bruce felt something was wrong. He stretched out his hand and apologized to the three people, then came to the telephone in the lobby downstairs of the Falconet Manor and dialed a familiar number.
"Hello, honey, where are you now?"
"Oh my god, it's so boring, Bruce!" Selina's energetic tone came from the other end of the phone, with a little complaint and coquettishness: "Even if you have found out that I'm back in Gotham, can't you pretend not to know and let me give you a surprise?"
"Where are you? I'll find you now!"
"I'm at home, come quickly, I'll give you a surprise!"
Bruce rushed to Selina's new home as fast as he could. It was a house he bought during the fifth phase of Gotham's renovation project. It was more than 80 square meters. Considering the population density of Gotham, it could be called a luxury house.
As soon as Bruce rushed into the door, Selina jumped down from the top of the door frame and threw herself into his arms. The two kissed for a while. Just as Bruce was about to talk about business, Selina smiled and said to him.
"You will never guess what good things I found - clang clang!"
Selina imitated the sound effects in her mouth, clenched a fist and stretched it in front of Bruce's eyes, then suddenly opened her palm, and a black diamond lay in the palm of her hand.
"I haven't been back to Gotham for a long time. I didn't expect there are such good stuff here. I received it from a truck driver and gave it to you."
Bruce grabbed the diamond and rushed into the house. Selina stood behind him and said, "Hey, even if you feel very surprised, you don't have to be so excited."
Bruce stood in front of the sofa, and Selina was still standing at the door. Selina was about to walk over. Bruce stretched out a hand and said, "Stand there and don't move. Have you heard any strange noises recently?"
"Uh, does the drill bit downstairs being too loud count?"
"I mean, have you heard someone talking in your mind... Forget it, Eclipse, are you there? Angry Spirit, get out quickly and tell me what you did to Selina."
As a result, what Bruce heard was not the clear and distinct conversation he heard in London before, but a series of vague shouts. Bruce listened carefully and found that the familiar voice was shouting.
"No! No! Don't come over, you damned bunch... Oh my God, who will save me? This is too crazy... I am darkness, I am crazy! I am crazy!"
Eclipse kept repeating this sentence, and no more useful information came. Bruce stared at the diamond in his hand and said uncertainly: "Is he... crazy?"
Selena also noticed something was wrong at this moment. She walked to Bruce's side, stared at the black diamond with some curiosity and said: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this thing?"
"Didn't you watch the recent variety show?"
"Don't you know? I'm filming in a movie crew recently, playing a thief villain in the latest "007". The second female role has a lot of scenes, and I don't have much time to watch TV."
"Okay, this is what happened..."
Bruce began to tell Selena what had happened during this period of time, but he didn't expect that Selena's first reaction after listening was not to worry about him, but to raise two eyebrows and stare at Bruce.
"You told the world that you would propose to me after you collected all the diamonds. If you didn't propose, wouldn't I be embarrassed?!"
But Selina soon came to her senses. She turned on her toes and whispered, "I'm not saying that I have to ask you to propose..."
Bruce put his arm around her waist and took her to sit on the sofa. He kissed her cheek and said, "Proposing with a cursed black diamond is not very romantic. You certainly deserve better."
Selina was not really angry, so she snorted and pouted. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she jumped up from the sofa again, stood in front of Bruce, shook her head and said, "I have a surprise for you. Don't be angry when you see it."
"What is it?" Bruce asked.
Selina bent down and pulled out a box from under the coffee table and opened the lid.
It was a whole box of black diamonds.
With a "crash", a box full of black diamonds was dumped on the coffee table. It was conservatively estimated that there were forty or fifty of them. Bruce was stunned again. He looked at Selina and asked, "Where did you get it from?"
"Don't be angry, I stole it."
Selina blinked and said, "Ever since I saw the second identical diamond on the stall, I knew there must be more than one or two of them."
"I didn't know you had a variety show, but I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't do anything else in the past few days since I returned to Gotham. I almost touched the whole city. I'm sure these are all the black diamonds in Gotham."
Selina seemed a little nervous. She knew that Bruce didn't like her stealing things, but Bruce stood up and hugged her tightly, and the two kissed again.
"You really surprise me, dear." Bruce whispered in Selina's ear: "I don't know whether I should be shocked by how much you love me, or by your superb stealing skills."
Selina's emphasis was obviously on the second half of the sentence. She snorted twice with pride, put her chin on Bruce's shoulder and said: "You don't know how powerful I am. Gotham's thief is not in vain!"
Bruce gave her a thumbs up in admiration. It was not ordinary to be able to get all the black diamonds in Gotham in just a few days. Then he asked curiously: "I heard that there are four thieves in Gotham. Are they as efficient as you?"
"It's not that Gotham has four big thieves, but that each district has four big thieves, a total of sixteen people... Don't look at me like that, you don't know how fierce the competition is in Gotham's thief industry. Filming "007" is a relaxation for me!"
Selena sighed and counted on her fingers: "Thieves are a sub-group of the thief industry. They usually refer to the kind of thieves who use the skills of hooking locks and climbing up and down to sneak into the homes of the rich or museums at night to steal treasures."
"In addition, there are pickpockets "three hands" who steal money and bags in busy commercial streets with dense traffic; "house thieves" who sneak into houses by picking locks; "little thieves" who often appear in train stations and hotels with many foreigners among newspaper boys, flower girls and cigarette boys, and steal property by taking advantage of foreigners' sympathy for children; There are "female thieves" who set up traps or pretend to be prostitutes to steal from clients; there are "gang thieves" who stir up trouble to attract attention and then steal alone; there are also many "accounting thieves", "hacker thieves", "sailor thieves" and so on who use their professional skills to steal money. "
"Because there are so many thieves, the competition is very fierce. In addition, the people of Gotham have bad tempers. Once they are caught, they will definitely be beaten to death. Now the least who can survive is a veteran who has experienced many battles."
"Big Snitch, Thief, Ghost Hand, Magician, Old K, Black 8, etc. are the code names of the most powerful thieves in each district. I am only the leader of the four snitches in the East District, and I am only one of the four representatives of a district in a branch of the industry."
Looking at Selina's serious eyes and then at the pile of black diamonds on the table, a light bulb suddenly lit up above Bruce's head.
"Wait, I have a bold idea..."
