Chapter 173 Bruce
When Shi Ning woke up, she felt much more refreshed. There were many things to do today, so she couldn't oversleep.
Holding Xia Youjie in his arms, Shi Ning whispered to Xia Youjie as he walked out of the hotel: "If you don't want to be sent to the research institute, you'd better not let others know that you can speak."
Xia Youjie lay obediently in Shi Ning's arms. After a night of "friendly" interaction with Laurie, he had basically no strength left.
After calling out weakly twice, Xia Yujie raised his head listlessly.
The dazzling sunlight penetrated the clouds, sprinkled on the ground, and reflected a dazzling light. Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced around, and found that they were all monkeys without cursed power. He turned his head coldly into Shi Ning's arms.
The sun came out, and the quiet city seemed to be injected with new vitality, and people began to take to the streets.
They turned a blind eye to the bullet holes on the road. Everyone's face was cold and numb. The malicious thugs hid deep in the alleys, staring at every passerby with malicious eyes.
Malice, xenophobia, coldness and dampness are the only feelings this city gives to foreign travelers.
Shi Ning bought a mobile phone, sat on a bench in the shade and started looking up information.
What she was looking at were superficial information that anyone could find. There was really no need to avoid the crowd. Xia Youjie was also grabbed by the back of the neck and turned his head to look with her.
After a while, Shi Ning quietly turned off his phone.
Her expression had gone blank.
See what she found.
Superheroes, supervillains, aliens, the Avengers and the Justice League...?
And the god on earth who has many super powers such as super hearing, Superman.
Is this really a normal world?
The city she is in now is called Gotham, which has the craziest Joker and a series of super villains. The superhero of this city is Batman and his assistant, Robin.
Xia Youjie and Shi Ning fell silent at the same time.
"So, the people who are most likely to be attached to the demon residue are these super villains and superheroes."
Xia Youjie raised an eyebrow: "How can you be so sure? It praises that 'superheroes are saviors without any flaws'."
Shi Ning put down his phone and shook his head: "The world will be balanced. Just like the birth of Gojo Sensei raised the upper limit of the cursed spirits, you and Gojo Sensei in the same camp also broke the balance. The strength of the two camps of superheroes and super villains determines their distribution."
"In other words, when superheroes lose their position of justice, they will only become crazier than the current super villains. And the demon remnants - what they like most is to destroy this balance."
Shi Ning's analysis was very logical. Xia Youjie narrowed his eyes and did not comment on it. He just asked, "What are you going to do?"
"My plan?" Shi Ning smiled. "Of course, I will make money first, and then wait for the rabbit to hit the tree."
"But why are the Batmans in these articles so strange?" Shi Ning flipped through a few more reports and muttered, "How can a masked vigilante like him have a relationship with Gotham's darling?"
Shi Ning's hand suddenly stopped. She stood up and walked towards the hotel carrying the fox. Halfway, she was stopped by a man.
"Hi, beautiful lady, could I buy you a drink? You are so beautiful."
He had beautiful and delicate facial features, a neatly-ironed suit, and eyes that were so affectionate that they could look at a dog. Not long ago, Shi Ning had seen his photo on the headlines.
——Gotham baby, Bruce Wayne.
In fact, the reason why Shi Ning suddenly walked back was very simple. She accidentally glanced at the adopted son of Gotham’s darling written in the news. Among them, Jason Todd’s name was particularly conspicuous, and Shi Ning locked onto him in an instant.
Jason Todd is definitely not a simple person to be designated as the mission target by the system. Shi Ning glanced at Bruce's life introduction. His parents died, and he adopted Jason Todd. He is also the richest man in Gotham. He has been traveling for many years, but he still looks like a fool after returning. He doesn't go to the company every day but can sit firmly in the position of President Wayne. If you say that he is really a fool like he seems, Shi Ning would never believe it, even though nine out of ten headlines are gossip about Bruce, and the remaining one is still in the entertainment section.
Shi Ning's brain was thinking quickly. Bruce Wayne must have a secret, and - maybe it was related to Batman? After all, Batman appeared not long after Wayne returned to Gotham. This coincidence made her think more.
And this is obviously very obvious, and it seems that you can find it if you think about it carefully. Why didn't the people of Gotham suspect it from beginning to end? So, how deeply is Bruce Wayne's image of a fool deeply rooted in people's hearts?
And now, she didn't know where she had revealed her flaw, causing this not-so-simple richest man to notice her and come over to chat with her.
Under the increasingly envious gazes of the people around him, Bruce Wayne gentlemanly extended a hand, took a half step back at the right time, with a distressed smile on his pretty face: "I'm sorry, I've heard that Oriental girls are very shy, is my invitation too bold?"
"Maybe we can go to the cafe over there and have a drink. It's my treat." Blinking, Bruce Wayne was like a peacock courting a mate, trying his best to send out signals of passion.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. When Shi Ning first came into this world, she had no foundation. Faced with Bruce's invitation, she had no right to refuse.
Not to mention what this man, whom she didn't know at all, would do after being rejected, the fiery gazes of the women around her had already exposed her.
She couldn't go around Gotham with the reputation of being the woman who rejected Bruce, which would make her feel particularly awkward.
So, she could only accept it.
"Of course, thank you for your invitation, Mr. Wayne." Shi Ning gave a fake smile, or was it more like a fake smile? She put her hand in Bruce's hand, and the man touched the calluses on her hand calmly, and then Bruce took her to the coffee shop next door.
After ordering coffee, Bruce sat opposite Shi Ning and said with a smile: "Your pet is also very cute, and it suits your temperament very well. But, ma'am, when did you enter Gotham? I think I should have known you earlier."
If you pay a little attention, you can find Bruce's temptation hidden under the sweetness and tenderness. If it were anyone who was bewitched by him, they would sell themselves out without leaving anything.
