Chapter 775: Deadly Joke (Part 2)

"Hollywood?" Bruce asked in a raised voice, "Why are you going to Hollywood?"

"Leave it to me." Selina turned around to pack her things. Bruce sighed, stepped over the mess in front of the door, walked in, and hugged Selina from behind.

In the past, at this time, Selina would turn her head and stare at him with big eyes, then turn around, hug his waist, and put her face against his chest.

But this time, Selina pulled his hand away, walked forward a few steps, and then turned around and said, "Bruce, let's break up."

Bruce's hand was not retracted yet, and he was stunned. He asked, "Why? What's wrong?"

Selina shook her hand and said, "No reason, I've had enough, I find you annoying now, you've been dumped, understand?!"

As she said that, she walked past Bruce and continued to pack his suitcase. Bruce turned around and said, "Selina, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly..."

He paused, then said, "Well, I've been a little busy recently, I haven't been with you, and I've ignored your feelings, But now, I have time again, I will come to see you as soon as possible..."

Bruce looked at his watch and said, "I have booked your favorite restaurant. If we go now, we can still watch the sunset. ·

Selena froze in place, and then he slowly squatted down and said, "My favorite restaurant... Yes, it is the French restaurant in the city center, in the most prosperous commercial street, with the best storefront, the most professional service provider, the most expensive ingredients, and the best chef..."

She stood up, touched her arm and said, "If it weren't for you, I would never be able to eat such food in my life. I should be grateful, right?"

"Selena, what's wrong with you?" Bruce walked forward and looked down at Selena's face. She was still very beautiful, but looked a little haggard.

Bruce felt something, and he said, "Did you encounter anything recently? Someone said something to you? Or did you encounter any danger?"

He took a deep breath and said, "You are angry, right? But I actually..."

"No, it has nothing to do with you. "Selina turned her head aside and said, "It's just that I've been thinking about a lot of things recently, so I plan to leave this city for a while."

"What happened?" Bruce asked again.

Selina took a deep breath and looked out the window. She recalled what happened in the police station.

At that time, Leon found her and explained his intention. In fact, he wanted Selina to be obedient and help them win over those celebrities on the West Coast to complete the cause of the great king.

Of course, the unruly Catwoman would not listen to him. Standing in the interrogation room, Catwoman attacked Leon with sharp dirty words, scolding him for daydreaming and asking him to get out immediately.

Leon was relentless and wanted to get close to Catwoman, so she scratched him directly.

The pain stimulated Leon and made him start to curse. At first, he only attacked Catwoman's appearance. But that was completely groundless slander. Catwoman's beauty was beyond doubt. No matter how picky you were, you couldn't find many flaws.

So Leon's curses became more and more dirty, and he began to make some groundless speculations. The topic began to involve Catwoman's parents and her origins.

If the unruly Catwoman had any weaknesses, it was her mother.

I don't know which words stimulated Catwoman and aroused the violent factor in her personality. She directly pried open the door of the interrogation room and almost stabbed a knife into Leon's chest.

Fortunately, Gordon arrived in time and stopped Catwoman, but his reaction further stimulated Selina. His first reaction was not to comfort her. , but sent someone to find Bruce.

Gordon's reaction was not wrong. After all, although Catwoman was a thief, she was also one of the most dangerous thieves in Gotham. She suddenly lost control. Once she ran out, ordinary police would definitely not be able to deal with her. They could only rely on Batman.

In addition, although it was unknown why Catwoman lost control of her emotions, Batman was her boyfriend after all. Letting him come over could also comfort her.

But this stimulated Catwoman even more. She broke free from the police's grip, ran out of the Gotham Police Department, and ran wildly in the high-rise buildings of Gotham.

That day, the storm in Gotham never stopped. Catwoman, who had exhausted all her strength and was extremely tired, was already on the verge of coma. , came to Maggie's new residence.

Maggie was shocked when she saw her. Catwoman's uniform was covered with mud, her mask had been torn, and her exposed hair was completely wet and stuck to her face.

Selina's face was pale, and her lips were almost bloodless. When Maggie pulled her hand, she found that her limbs were cold.

Maggie hurriedly pulled her into the house, poured her a cup of hot water, and let her drink it, then put it in the cup and let Selina hold it in her hand. She wiped the water off Selina's body and covered her with a dry and warm quilt.

Seeing Selina shivering, Maggie was almost heartbroken. She said, "What happened? Why did you run out in such a big typhoon?"

Selina remained silent, but Maggie knew her good friend very well. She said, "Are you out of control again? Who provoked you?"

Selina remained silent. Maggie sat next to her and said, "Even if no one wants to listen to you, I will definitely listen, just like when we first met..."

"She would rather talk to the cat..." Selina looked ahead with a dull look in her eyes and said, "I sat next to her and looked at her expectantly, but she just hugged the cat and said it was her baby..."

"The meaning of my existence is to go to work and buy food for her and the cat after I earn money." Selina's whole face was pale, but only her eyes were red. She looked like she was about to cry, but there were no tears.

Like every Gotham person, Selina sticks to the bottom line of not showing weakness, but she is actually more determined than others, because cats are always proud.

"Since I can remember, I have always been an accessory. No one's attention will be focused on me first. It will always be like this..." Selina kept muttering in a low voice. She said:

"When I was at home, my mother treated me as part of the cat. When I was a thief, my mother treated me as part of the jewelry necklace. Now, I have become a part of Bruce Wayne..."

Accompanied by the sound of rain outside the window, a line of rain fell from top to bottom in a dark alley. A little girl with black hair dragged a bag of cat food into the door with great effort.

A woman rushed out of the bedroom and screamed in surprise: "Oh, my little Selena! You brought food to my baby again! You are always my favorite child!"

Little Selena put down your cat food, she looked up, looked at her mother and said: "Really? Do you love me the most?"

"Of course! Without you, my little babies would starve to death!" The woman picked up the bag of cat food and walked into the bedroom without looking back. Standing in the dark living room, Selena only saw the pairs of cat eyes that lit up in the crack of the door.

She saw savagery, terrifying indifference, and unfounded pride in it.

Standing there, little Selena thought, why can cats take it for granted? Why do they firmly think that everyone likes them? Why can they do what they want without being affected by the will of others? Why can they attract people to love them?

If I become a cat, can I be put first?

Selena didn't know. She only knew that on that rainy night, she curled up in the corner of the living room and dreamed that she had turned into a carefree cat.

Her mother picked her up for the first time, kissed her forehead, and said to her: "You are my favorite baby, Selena."

Shuttled through the rain lines above Gotham, just like the wind passing through the dense woods, a small figure jumped between the steel jungle, flexibly flipped down from the roof, jumped into a balcony, opened the door, raised the gem necklace in her hand high, and said:

"Mom! Look! I just stole it!"

"Oh, my God!" A scream rang out, and a fat woman rushed in with a staggering step, snatched the pearl necklace from Selena's hand, and said: "My little Selena, Ah! You are simply the cutest child in the world, I love you so much! "

Standing in the rain on the balcony, the soaked little Selena stared at her and asked: "Really? Do you love me the most?"

The fat woman stared at the pearl necklace in her hand without blinking, put it to her mouth and kissed it, then turned around and moved her fat body, muttering as she walked: "I must put this little treasure in the deepest part of my safe, but I must not let others find it..."

Selena saw that in the crack of the slowly closing door, the luster of the gemstone was like a cat's eye, which could always be extinguished last in the darkness.

She thought that shiny things would always attract attention, and when put together with everything, they would definitely be seen first.

Back in the dark and narrow house, little Selena curled up her body. She thought that if she could become a jewel that everyone loves, she would definitely be cherished and put first.

In her dream, she saw again that countless jewels formed a big castle, which was the most eye-catching existence in the steel jungle.

"I don't want Bruce to love me, but I also want him to love me the most. If he doesn't love me the most, then stay away from me." Selina wiped the rain from her temples and said, "Maggie, I told you before that I yearn for freedom, but that's actually because I can't get anything except freedom..."

"No one will put me first. They never see me as a complete person. If they don't care about me, then I don't care about them. I will say that I yearn for freedom because I can't beg them..."

Selina frowned, but tears still didn't come out of her eyes. She whispered:

"Because I have tried before, no matter how I beg, I won't get more love."

"So, I said I don't need it, at least it's decent, and if someone makes me want to beg him, I will run away immediately..." Selina's lips moved and said, "... Am I like a psychopath?"

Maggie hugged her and said, "Don't say that, Selina, it's not your fault at all. Bruce may be too busy during this period. He doesn't care about you, but he may really not have time..."

Selina stopped talking, no matter how Maggie comforted her. Maggie knew that this was not the first time Selina lost control like this. During the time they knew each other, there were at least a dozen such situations.

Even if Maggie didn't know much about psychiatry and psychology, she knew that this situation was abnormal, but she didn't know how to solve it at all, so she could only accompany Selina for a night.

Until the wind stopped and the rain stopped, Selina suddenly returned to normal, and then left as usual.

And now, Bruce, standing in the room, found that he couldn't read Selina's emotions from her body language at all. He felt that she was as unpredictable and incomprehensible as a cat.

"Why did you choose Hollywood?" Bruce asked.

Selina paused for a moment, then raised the corners of her mouth, smiled, and said with her head down:

"Maybe I can play a leading role there?"
