The lush sycamore trees began to lose their leaves, but the moment outside the hotel window was a bit strange. The new buds turned green overnight, causing people to stop one after another.
Looking through the window, I saw an arm hanging on the edge of the bed, and a small vine wrapped around the wrist.
Pamela yawned, looked up, and saw that it was already 9:00. She sat up from the bed in the bedroom, closed her eyes for a while, then stretched out her hand to straighten her messy hair, and stretched out her feet.
A lazy person.
Another thin hand stretched out from the quilt, and a small piece of black nail polish fell off. Thalia's head came out of the quilt, turned to the side, and sucked in a sharp breath.
She sat up suddenly and touched her back. After feeling the sharp pain, she threw a pillow at Pamela and yelled: "You lunatic! I haven't had any pain in ten years."
Such a serious injury!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Pamela yawned and said coldly: "I told you, I was very harsh, you said it was okay."
Thalia fell back on the bed, yawned slightly and said, "I'm very curious about how your former bedmate survived. You tried to strangle me five times last night, at least."
"Is this beyond your expectation?" Pamela picked up the pillow on the floor and said, "You invited me. Who is the little girl now?"
"You're crazy!" Thalia muttered: "I am a female killer. Do you know what a killer is? I just do things for money. I usually do things for my father. I have a clear purpose and start quickly."
"Profit-seeking?"
"You can definitely say that."
The female killer took a deep breath.
"But you're a fucking pervert!" she yelled. "You fucking sadist!"
"I said you invited me first." Pamela rolled her eyes, turned and walked to the dressing table to sit down and said: "I admit that I attacked you with vines. I had such a motive, but this is completely true.
For legitimate reasons."
"Look, we can't dance on the hotel bed, especially at 3:00 in the morning. It's completely unethical. I want you to be quiet. I warned you but you didn't listen. This is just some
Reasonable restrictions.”
"Then I told you that plants have their own will. Most plant vines are soft and tough, but there are a few that will grow sharp thorns on a whim, which is obviously beyond my control."
"The vines around his neck are a little tight. Yes, I said you can call me. And it's because your hair is too long. Maybe you made him itchy."
"I have to stop your voice in the second half, because as I said, the Green of All Things asked me to stop my behavior immediately. He said that his power was not used for me to do this."
"But fuck it, who cares? I feel so good."
Thalia was completely discouraged. She buried her face in the pillow and said: "Fuck Gotham, it's full of lunatics and mental patients! His plan is completely wrong. Batman's genes can't be used at all. I
Can't have a crazy kid! Not anyone here."
"You haven't given up yet?" Pamela said while patting her face with lotion: "Is a child so important to you?"
"This is just a plan, and it usually has its own meaning." Thalia turned over and stared at the ceiling and said: "If it is important to the League of Assassins, then it is also important to me."
"No relation," Pamela commented, "You could work for the League of Assassins, or you could have a child."
"Why can't we have both?"
"If you want it, then no matter who the child's father is, you will get another madman in 20 years. You know that the healthy environment for a child to grow up cannot be in a killer organization, right?"
"I don't care, as long as he is useful."
"It seems you don't plan on becoming a mother."
"Yes, childbirth is just a process. If it were not to ensure accuracy and safety, I would not do it myself."
"Then hopefully you can resist the effects of hormones." Pamela picked up the foundation and said, "Would you sleep with your son?"
Thalia showed a disgusted expression and said, "Of course not."
"Then I'm afraid you will also be trapped by morality."
"Do you know?"
"I don't care, as long as he is useful."
Pamela's attitude made Thalia fall into deep thought. After seeing the true face of these crazy people, she discovered that she was actually a normal person.
Everyone here, at least everyone Thalia encountered, looked completely inhuman. The feeling of inhumanity was so strong that Thalia felt like she was surrounded by monsters.
Thalia was once told that her father only used her as a tool. She had always scorned such words, but last night, she deeply felt that she was just a tool.
It was not a kind of humiliation or contempt, but a monster who simply pursued desires and ignored everything, playing with a toy that he didn't fully understand, but found it very interesting.
"You enjoy all this too, don't you?" Pamela drew her eyebrows and said: "I didn't feel you were resisting, but I knew you hid a knife. If you didn't use it, I'll treat it as your acquiescence.
Already."
Thalia did not admit that she did not move because she was completely overwhelmed by fear. She was not afraid of pain or injury, but this damn little girl who had just graduated from college was so evil that she felt that if she did not cooperate,
The opponent will use vines to explore deeper organs and never put them back into place.
"Have you ever thought about killing me?" Thalia asked.
"I usually don't want to kill anyone, I don't have that interest, but I can't control myself when I get excited. If I die, I can only say that I am very sorry."
"You're not sorry at all."
"Then I sincerely thank him for being my fertilizer."
Thalia supported half of her body on her elbows, lowered her head and her black hair fell beside her ears. She exhaled a long breath. Everywhere in her body hurt, but she still managed to sit up.
A vine groped over to help her, and Thalia cursed and said, "Take it away, stay away from me."
"I guess you will smash all the flower pots when you go back, but I want to tell you that it is useless. Plants need soil to grow, but they also need some strong desire."
Thalia cursed more, but to no avail, the vines straightened her shoulders and made her sit up on the bed.
"Do you think I should have a baby?" she asked.
"Again, be a mother, or be a womb, otherwise you will be unable to be both."
"Do you think I'm suitable to be a mother?"
"At least you have the ability to keep your child safe, and from what I experienced last night, you may also be able to keep him wealthy."
These words really touched Thalia, especially the first sentence. She knew that her biggest bargaining chip was this ability. If she had a child, she could give all of this to him.
And no matter what tragedy happened to him, at least he could save his life, which was given to him by his mother. Thinking about this, it still feels like a sense of accomplishment.
Thalia lit a cigarette and said: "To be honest, I don't like Bruce Wayne very much anymore. He is indeed quite rich, but I don't see any very special abilities in him."
"Wisdom, yes, sounds very good, but it may not be inherited. You can also find better ones with skeletal and muscle advantages. As for other things, maybe experience is more important."
"You met him too early." Pamela said sharply: "If you meet him 20 years later, you will desperately want his genes."
"Why are you so sure?"
"I have seen him 20 years later. To be honest, he will be the perfect target for you and your father, especially your father."
"How to say?"
"Your father is said to be very smart, but he is too normal."
Thalia was speechless. It was the first time she heard someone say that the leader of the League of Assassins was a normal person, but she couldn't refute it, because compared to these crazy people in Gotham, Lei Xiaogu couldn't be more normal.
"He will see all the advantages of Batman and be amazed by him, but he will not see the dark tide surging under the calm water. That is the easiest thing to inherit. You will not know what will happen when you break out of the shell.
What came out was a bat or a dark dragon."
Thalia pursed her lips and said: "Genetic uncertainty is like a bomb. I opposed this plan, but he insisted."
"Then give him an egg." Pamela said lightly: "No one knows whose seed you have accepted. The child cannot be stuffed back after it is born. Maybe it can give you some extra surprises?"
"Who do you think is more suitable?"
"I can't give you advice on this, because I don't know what you want, but I think for a mother, the child's character may be more important than ability."
"Then Bruce Wayne is completely ruled out." Thalia changed her position and lay on the bed, letting her long hair hang down from the side of the bed. She held a cigarette in her mouth and lowered her hands and said, "He is as bad as hell and despicable.
"
"Then it doesn't work for all Gothamites. Excluding the influence of some mysterious dark factors, everyone here has the possibility of hidden mental illness. If it is inherited, it will be bad."
Thalia thought seriously and watched Pamela put on all her makeup. She watched Pamela go to the bathroom to change clothes with some curiosity, and asked: "Where are you going?"
"I have a banquet tonight, a celebration banquet for the graduation of one of my classmates and experimental partners. He is not the focus. The focus is that the host of the banquet is his teacher and godfather."
"Who is that?"
"Schiller Rodriguez."
"Another madman."
Pamela stepped into the skirt and said, "Yes, but I have to pay attention. I have to go to graduate school."
"Going to his graduate school?"
"Don't tell ghost stories, it's just that it's hard to avoid dealing with him."
Thalia supported her face with one hand, squinted her eyes and smiled and said: "Get dressed up, I don't think you really want to avoid it."
Pamela's movements paused. She actually thought about it carefully and then said: "If I had to choose, I would choose my physics professor Victor Fries."
"Is he handsome?" Thalia recalled it, feeling like she had seen this person before, but she recalled more of Schiller's appearance. She said: "I and many scholars like your psychology professor
I have interacted with him before, but his temperament is the most special, especially when he looks at me."
"Like looking at a plate of meat?"
"Like I didn't see a fucking thing, do you think that's common for me?"
"Of course it will be like this." Pamela curled her lips and said: "When you think, 'Wow, there must be a lot of people who want him, and I can't be ranked among them,' it proves that you are safe."
"So I deny his attraction to me, because if such an idea pops into my mind one day, even if it is just by chance, it cannot completely avoid the possibility of me being fired."
"Is it so scary?"
"When he decides to attract you, you will feel that he was born just for you, matching you in every possible way. If you feel this way, it means that the venom he injected into your body has taken effect."
