American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 81 One Month!

All the weapons were placed in the wooden crates that had been prepared beforehand.

call?

I looked out at the morning sun shining through the curtains.

"Time to go to work!"

Lin Jue quickly changed into his work clothes, then pushed open the door and went out. In the dimly lit second-floor corridor, Lin Jue looked at the silent next door.

"This girl is up so early? This is truly the first time!"

After thinking for a moment, Lin Jue quickly went downstairs.

With a clattering sound, Emily, looking somewhat haggard, struggled to drag the liquor case to the bar counter.

Hearing footsteps, she looked in surprise toward the top of the stairs on the second floor.

A familiar figure slowly walked down the stairs...

"Forest……"

Emily covered her mouth tightly, and glistening tears instantly slid down his cheeks.

Seeing her like this, Lin Jue felt a little flustered and quickly stepped forward.

"What are you doing...?"

boom!

Emily instantly dropped the wine crate and threw herself into Lin Jue's arms. Lin Jue stood frozen in place, his gaze somewhat blank and helpless. Feeling the trembling of the petite body in his arms, he couldn't help but reach out and gently pat Emily's somewhat frail body.

Lin Jue didn't know what to say. He was still confused about the situation. The two embraced each other in silence.

Ring ring.

As the bell at the door jingled, a chubby figure walked into the shop, the shopping bag he was carrying instantly slipping from his hand and falling to the ground.

Behind him were two young girls and a middle-aged woman, all wearing bar uniforms.

"Lin...you've finally shown up!"

Dam shouted, trembling.

……

"So, I disappeared for a month?"

Lin Jue's expression was extremely solemn. He was still holding Emily, who refused to let go, in his arms, and his gaze was fixed on Dam, who was excited and joyful.

"Did you know what? Gotham has gone completely mad this past month. Batman has gone to war with the Masked Society. They had a massive brawl at Bruce Wayne's manor. Poor Bruce, thankfully he wasn't seriously injured! But Batman captured Black Mask, the leader of the Masked Society!"

Dam spoke very quickly, his eyebrows dancing with excitement, as if this exciting news was the most significant event since Lin Jue's disappearance.

Black Mask was arrested?

Lin Jue frowned slightly. He knew more or less about this, but he didn't know the specifics.

Black Mask is actually Roman Theonis, a close friend of Bruce Wayne and the sole heir to the Theonis family.

"By the way! Ever since you disappeared, the crime rate in the East District has started to rise again."

Dam's gaze seemed to be subtly observing Emily, who was still holding Lin Jue.

"Oh? Didn't the Trial Council do anything about it?" Lin Jue asked, feigning confusion.

"Fortunately, a new superhero has emerged in our East District. Many people say she's from the Inquisition Council. As for the Speakers of the Inquisition Council, they must be busy confronting the evil forces lurking beneath Gotham!"

Dam said in a relaxed tone, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, clearly indicating that he had doubts about the authenticity of the news.

"A new superhero?"

"Catwoman! She claims to be an ordinary judge in the Trial Council, responsible for protecting the Eastern District. She's said to be a beautiful woman with a great figure!"

As Dam spoke, his words began to shift in a certain direction.

At this moment, Emily, who had her little head resting on Lin Jue's chest, suddenly turned her head and glared angrily at Dam, who seemed to be about to begin a detailed account of Catwoman.

"hey-hey!"

With a nonchalant wave of his hand, Dam looked at Emily somewhat embarrassed.

"Lin! Where have you been all this time? Why did you suddenly come down from the second floor?"

Emily turned her head to look at Lin Jue face to face, the distance between them only the size of a palm.

Looking into her bright, piercing eyes and delicate, fair face, Lin Jue gave a wry smile: "Sorry, Emily, I'm not really sure what happened either. I think I just took a nap!"

As an orphan with no relatives, Lin Jue couldn't think of a way to explain his disappearance in a short time, since he had already told Emily about his situation.

"How could you not know?"

Emily's face also showed a hint of doubt. She remembered that she had checked Lin Jue's room as usual in the early hours of this morning. For the past month, her greatest desire every day was to suddenly open the door and see that figure that had suddenly disappeared.

I hadn't seen Lin Jue this morning, but not long after, he came downstairs on his own, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

"I know! Lin Jue must have encountered a wormhole! You know, that theory about relativity? I saw a book that clearly described it. It said that a person might unknowingly touch a wormhole, but he wouldn't even realize it. His body would be stuck in another dimension, and after a brief stay, he would quickly return to his original world, but the time difference between the two would be completely different!"

After uttering this long string of words in one breath, Dam looked as if he had discovered the truth.

Wow! So you're the real boss all along!

Lin Jue looked at Danmu in shock, and couldn't help but admire him slightly. It seemed that there was really no good reason to explain why he had disappeared during this period.

And Dam's statement is close to the truth!

Lin Jue's mind raced. Of course, he hadn't forgotten that he had experienced more than a month in the Marvel Captain America universe, but only a month had passed in the DC universe. Clearly, the flow of time in the two worlds was different. Combined with the fact that time remained constant in the dimensional worlds he had traveled through before, even Lin Jue was now somewhat confused about the time factor in dimensional travel.

Completely baffled, he could only attribute it to the unique nature of the Marvel Cinematic Universe...

"Alright, it's good that Lin is back. Let's not talk about this anymore, Lin! You know what? You kept me up all night while you were gone!"

Noticing the tense atmosphere, Dam quickly changed the subject, shouting somewhat emotionally.

His words instantly brought Lin Heng, who was still pondering, back to his senses, and he looked at Danmu with some gratitude.

Running such a large bar was far too much for Emily to handle. Dam even skipped a month of school to help Emily manage the bar until new employees were recruited!

"Thanks!"

Lin Jue looked at Danmu solemnly.

"Maybe we should throw a party to celebrate Lin's safe return!"

"Dam said with some excitement. He didn't think Lin Jue had traveled to another world. Instead, he thought Lin Jue might have been trapped somewhere before and had finally escaped safely."

"Uh-huh!"

Emily nodded her little head quickly.
