Knights of DC

Chapter 104 St. John's Orphanage
Claire's words made Dick a little nervous. He didn't know whether Claire was cheating on him or if he really knew something. Sitting in the co-pilot, Dick, who originally wanted to take advantage of this gap to rest, couldn't sleep, his mind was full of What Claire said just now. "If you want to ask anything, just ask, I always feel like you won't be able to sleep like this," Claire said to Dick, who was tossing and turning, without looking back, looking at the vehicle in front of her, with a certain smug tone in her tone.

"Then you know everything?" Hearing his girlfriend's tone, Dick asked helplessly.

"That depends on what you mean."

"What do you mean?"

"If you're talking about a well-known detective dating Gotham Police Chief Jim Gordon's daughter, Barbara, or a well-known detective who's become the masked hero of Nasino, then I know. But As for his relationship with the other superheroes, I don't know."

Dick was so frightened by Claire's words that he didn't even think about going to sleep. Looking at his girlfriend with his panda eyes, he realized that he didn't really realize the ability of his police detective girlfriend. His background investigation is so clear.Claire enjoyed Dick's gaze, stopped in front of a red light, and then turned to look at Dick.

"How did you make these investigations so clear?"

"First, I am in the police system. If I want to know the past work experience of my partner and boyfriend, I think the Gotham Police Department will not refuse. Second, you don't know that girls usually have two Are there two kinds of performance? One is the decline of thinking ability, and the other is the double increase of thinking ability. Fortunately, I am the second kind, my dear bird~"

Touching Dick's cheek, Claire's pretty face became a little gloomy in Dick's eyes, and he suddenly felt that he would not be able to live a life of riding horses in the future.

"OK, all that needs to be said has been said. I think you should have a good night's sleep. Judging by the road conditions, there is still a 10-minute drive to St. John's Orphanage, which is enough for you to sleep for a while."

As he said that, he didn't allow Dick to resist, so he put a blindfold on him and lowered the seat so that Dick could sleep more comfortably.Dick didn't know what to say about his girlfriend's domineering operation, because he was so tired that he almost stopped thinking. Putting on the blindfold directly made him fall asleep quickly, and Claire also continued to drive in the direction of St. John's Orphanage.

St. John's Orphanage is located at the junction of the West District and the East District of Nasino City. It was funded and established by the mayor candidate of Nasino City ten years ago.Of course, because of his move, he was elected mayor at the time, and St. John's Orphanage had various financial support during the time he was elected mayor, allowing it to receive a large number of street children. There is no need to worry about not being able to operate because of insufficient capital turnover.

Even if there is a change of mayor, St. John's Orphanage still has not lost financial support. After all, as long as a mayoral candidate is not stupid, he will be willing to do things like spending money to buy prestige.Therefore, the St. John's Orphanage is also very nourishing in this delicate political environment, and no one will be bored to find trouble with an orphanage.

A Mercedes-Benz stopped at the entrance of the orphanage, and Dick and Claire finally arrived at the entrance of the orphanage after passing the rush hour. The windows of the car were rolled down, and Dick and Claire, who had taken a nap, were also looking at the house in front of them. The legendary orphanage.

"Well, it looks pretty good." Even though Dick was skeptical about this orphanage, he had to say that the previous mayors of Nasino City were really unambiguous in this regard.

Warm-toned walls, plenty of outdoor activities, three-story small western-style buildings, and looking at the air-conditioning radiators outside each room, I know that the children's rooms are not too bad.It can be said that even the orphanage funded by Wayne Enterprises in Gotham is not as comfortable as the orphanage in front of me in this respect. After all, the atmosphere in Gotham is too depressing.The only thing that surprised Dick was that the orphanage, which was full of sunny colors from the outside, was not alive at this moment, as if no one existed in the orphanage.

"It looks like we've come to the right place, let's go, Claire, and check the situation."

After confirming that his suspicions were correct, Dick greeted his girlfriend, unfastened his seat belt, and was about to get out of the car and go to the orphanage to find out what happened. At this moment, an invisible wave enveloped Dick and Claire, and the two only felt A heavy drowsiness enveloped his brain, and before he could open the car door, the two of them fell into a deep sleep in the car.

Just as Dick and Claire fell asleep uncontrollably, in the director's office on the third floor of the orphanage, two mysterious figures looked at Dick and Claire sleeping in the car through the window, slowly Slowly draw the curtains.

"Those guys are really useless. They can't do such a small thing well, and they even let the police come to the door." One of the figures said, he was wrapped in airtight, and he could only see the clothes under the hood through the sunlight shining in. That pale jaw.

"Dr. Jones, this is our mistake. We didn't expect that so many superheroes would come out to disrupt the transaction that would have been no problem. But, is it really okay for us to do this? Those two policemen at the police station The status is not low, so there won't be any accidents, right?" The other figure is a middle-aged man with a somewhat plump figure. With his raised mustache and those small eyes, it makes people feel that this guy is not a good guy.

At this time, he was bending over to the mysterious man called Dr. Jones in front of him and asked. After all, it was still a bit taboo to attack the police, especially when there were two superheroes in this city.

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness. I just arranged a dream for them, so that they thought that they had visited this orphanage and you, the dean, in their sleep. Okay, those guys who were caught in it, you Ask someone to help bring them out, make them into 'soldiers' and sell them, and I have to go to the police station to pick up our goods."

"Make it a 'soldier?' Dr. Jones, isn't it a bit too cruel?" The middle-aged man was startled by Dr. Jones' words. It seems that the word 'soldier' ​​is not as simple as it is literally understood.

"Laurie, remember, this is a rule. If you use money to do things, you will be punished if you mess up. Their mistakes may lead to the exposure of our plan. Don't forget, there are gods patrolling the sky now."

The mysterious man named Dr. Jones grabbed Laurie's greasy hair, pulled it in front of him, said these words slowly, looked at the face hidden under the hood, Laurie nodded Garlic, desperately said yes.Seeing Laurie's witty expression, Dr. Jones shook off him, got up and left the office, "By the way, the surrounding surveillance should be done more cleanly. Don't let these two policemen suspect that my dream is only for one hour. "After giving an order before leaving, Dr. Jones drove away from the orphanage, preparing to go to the police station to pick up the adopted children.

As for Dick and Claire, the two just fell asleep in the car. Even if Jones drove away and drove in again, he didn't notice it at all. As the clock on the car passed an hour, the two woke up like a dream They came over, looked at each other in a daze, and then looked at the children in the orphanage outside the car window who were doing outdoor activities, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I told you, this orphanage can't have anything to do with these things. Dean Laurie is also busy with the work of those school-age children, so he didn't send someone to pick up those children. You really think too much " Claire has no memory of falling asleep before, listening to the tone, as if she has entered the orphanage to understand the situation.

"It's because I was a little too suspicious. Well, let's go back first when the problem is solved. I really need to catch up on sleep."

Hearing his girlfriend's words, Dick didn't notice the abnormality before. Seeing the children who were active outside, he laughed, and then drove away, and returned to the police station. The two of them didn't seem to realize that they had been in a coma It's like an hour, even if it's Dick, Batman's master apprentice.
