That's ridiculous!
"Let me sort this out." hope Nian rubbed his temples and asked, "You want to follow me because you actually want to repay me, right?"
The raven nodded.
“Then you can use other methods,” hope Nian said sincerely.
The raven blinked.
Wouldn't repaying him with her body be the best way? She didn't quite understand.
"How about this, you'll be my bodyguard for a while, okay?" hope Nian said. He wasn't about to take advantage of the fact that she was a demon girl who was naive and inexperienced in the human world.
“Okay,” the raven agreed.
hope Nian couldn't help but remind him, "Also, you should change your body shape and appearance back to normal."
Raven glanced at him and then transformed her mature female body back into a petite loli figure.
hope Nian breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it was just too big; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself...
……
then.
When Xinian went out again, a black-clad hooded girl was following him. The girl's identity was an outer demon!
Alice shrank to the size of a thumb and, with her invisibility mode activated, became like a sprite that appeared and disappeared intermittently, following beside Xinian.
"Master, where are we going today?" Alice asked curiously.
hope Nian glanced at the gloomy sky and slowly uttered the name of a city:
"Gotham".
……
Gotham City, outlying urban area.
It was daytime, but the sky was so overcast that it looked as if night was about to fall.
Waaah!
Accompanied by a sharp and mournful siren, police cars and fire trucks arrived one after another in front of a house, but the fire had already completely engulfed the house.
A raging fire, billowing thick smoke.
Many Gotham residents stopped to watch.
jingle--
Just then.
Directly in front of the burning house, the coffee shop's door was gently pushed open.
A gothic woman with short black hair walked out of the coffee shop. Without even glancing at the fire, she elegantly opened her small black parasol and turned to leave down the street.
Chapter 465, About Gwen's Romance
Gotham.
Beneath the gloomy sky are modern streets with a touch of Gothic and church style, lacking the eye-catching colorful billboards and 3D projections of other cities.
A black-haired young man in a dark red trench coat, accompanied by a hooded girl, ventured deeper into the winding, narrow alleyways of the outskirts of the city. Abandoned garbage and trash cans were scattered throughout the streets and alleys, and the city seemed unchanged for years.
A tiny, invisible girl's shadow flashed through the air, like a point of light leading the way.
"Master." Alice suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"What, have we arrived?" hope Nian raised his eyes.
Alice said, "It's just ahead. But someone's watching you from behind."
"Yes, I've already noticed."
hope Nian nodded. His spider sense had detected someone following him, but since the spider sense didn't give much of a warning, he ignored it.
Alice quickly identified the other party and replied, "It's the local ditch gang. They probably saw you were from out of town and wanted to rip you off."
"Do gangs even exist these days?"
hope Nian shook his head and chuckled, thinking that Gotham was indeed a place known for its simple and honest people.
The hooded girl didn't turn around; a glint of dark light appeared in her eyes as she slowly raised her small hand.
hope Nian said, "We don't need to kill them, just make them stop moving for now."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Not far behind the street, around the corner, three burly gangsters who had been following them furtively suddenly collapsed to the ground.
"Let's go."
Ignoring the lackeys, Xinian, along with Raven and Guanluo, continued deeper into the territory under Alice's guidance.
Not long after they left.
Two young men in combat gear appeared at the street corner, looking in surprise at the gangster lying casually on the ground.
A teenager was dressed like a special forces soldier, wearing a bulletproof uniform and a rather bulky overall appearance, with a conspicuous red hood on his head.
The other boy was dressed casually in a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and was still bare-armed despite the winter weather. His shirt was also a bright red, and he wore green off-road gloves and boots.
They are the other two Robins from the Batman family who remain in Gotham—
The third Robin, Red Hood, Jason Todd, and the fourth Robin, Red Robin, Tim Drake!
"They're dead?"
Jason the Red Hood quickly looked around but didn't see anyone else.
"No."
Red Robin Tim bent down and quickly checked the breathing of the three people lying on the ground. After confirming their condition, he replied with a strange expression, "They... are asleep."
"Asleep, here?"
Red Hood found it unbelievable, but still suggested, "Let's contact Gordon first and bring them back."
Red Robin nodded, stretched out his hands and hoisted the two burly men onto his shoulders, then stood up and looked at a street corner where there was an old public security camera.
……
Guided by Alice.
Xinian finally stopped in front of a house. No one was inside, but the door lock was new, indicating that they had just moved out.
Without Alice needing to prompt him, Xinian already knew that this was the destination.
Alice recounted, "Two days ago, the lady of the house, Steele Hyman, claimed that her husband, who died in the Sherlock Holmes incident five years ago, was knocking on the door outside. The man's temperament and tone were very strange, but she could confirm that he was indeed her husband."
"Guanluo, what do you sense?"
hope Nian's gaze fell on the door of the house, where there were several light black indented handprints, as if someone had hit it hard.
Within the dark red trench coat's lining, a starfish inside a glass jar opened its single eye: "There's a chilling, ominous aura lingering here; a very strange being has been here."
“They’re dead,” the raven suddenly said. “No, they’re living people without souls.”
“Without a soul, can one still be considered alive? However, the dead cannot return to their own homes.” hope Nian shook his head. The soul and the body seem to be two different things, but in reality, they are an inseparable whole, and the absence of one makes the body incomplete.
He is the most qualified to speak on this matter, having died once before.
hope Nian's gaze fell on the portal, and with his fourth permanent ability, he saw wisps of black mist that others could not see.
That is the remnant of a rule called death.
Therefore, Xinian can confirm—
Just as my aunt said, there really were cases of the dead coming back to life.
However, this so-called resurrection is not a perfect resurrection, but is dominated and manipulated by an evil force related to the rules of death!
……
At this moment, in Sheriff George's home in Washington, D.C.
"I'm stuffed!"
The blonde woman with short hair, wearing pink bunny pajamas, put down her knife and fork, pouted her shiny lips, and muttered something.
She was about to go back to her bedroom to continue sleeping when she noticed her parents sitting at the opposite table staring at her intently.
What are you doing?
Gwen blinked, puzzled, as her rabbit ears and oversized pajamas swayed.
Sheriff George, whose temples were graying, exchanged a glance with his wife, Mary Jane.
Mrs. Mary coughed and asked:
"Gwen, don't you have to go to work today? There must be a lot of things going on at Future Chronicle Company, right?"
“Today is a day off,” Gwen said with a smile. “The company does have a lot of work every day, but it’s all done by different departments and teams. You can rest whenever you want, and there’s no need to work overtime or anything like that.”
"Oh, I see." Mrs. Mary advised, "As the headquarters manager, you must do a good job. Future Era is not an ordinary company; the competition for positions is extremely fierce now."
"Don't worry," Gwen smiled. Her parents didn't know who really owned Future Era Corporation.
Otherwise, they would be greatly surprised.
Even if she doesn't go to work for a month or a year, she will still be the company's manager.
At worst, we can just give the future chairman an injection...
Gwen blushed slightly at the thought; even after several years, she still felt easily ashamed in this regard.
Sheriff George and Mrs. Mary saw their daughter's expression and their faces became even more serious.
Seeing that his wife didn't bring it up, Sheriff George said in a deep voice, "Gwen, you're not young anymore, it's time to bring your boyfriend home to meet us."
"What?" Gwen was stunned.
Sheriff George said sternly, "We did promise you back then that we wouldn't interfere with your relationships, but now that several years have passed, it's time for you to bring him home."
