[Comprehensive British and American] I open a haunted house in the superhero world

Miss's birthday party is on the seventh day.

That night, West, Dick and Damian were invited to have a meal in the hall.

They still kept the attire they had when they came in, but the servants who came to invite them showed no surprise, as if they were wearing well-fitting clothes.

"The family's surname is Brown." Dick said to West while walking on the road. He didn't say how he knew this information, but West also knew that he had his own information channel.

He roughly talked about the situation of this family. The family structure is very simple, only a father and two daughters.

My father is a great artist who loves artworks, and all the weird objects in the castle are his father's collection.

The daughter, the lady Dick saw, was eighteen and unmarried.

And the other daughter is the dead child that the housekeeper said. She and the young lady are twins. She has always been weak and died of illness not long ago.

West was speechless. In a short period of time, Dick had already found out the situation of this house. This made West, who couldn't ask one, two, three, four, when talking to the housekeeper, couldn't help but feel that he was more angry than others.

However, Dick didn't get a lot of information. After all, it's pretty good to inquire about these in one afternoon.

After the servant led them to the hall, the three of West were stunned.

Because it's not just them on the table, there are also a few people they are familiar with, such as Riddler and Penguin.

"Hi, Oswald, hi, Edward." Dick only took one more look at the two of them, then dragged a chair and sat down very calmly, and then greeted them both calmly.

"Good evening, Nightwing." Riddler and Penguin also greeted Dick very calmly.

The three of them acted as if they were old friends they met in different places, and they couldn't see the usual fierce fighting posture at all.

This made Damian and West a little uncomfortable.

Wester opened the stool and sat down, sitting next to Dick with Damian on the left and right.

His position was right next to the Riddler, and Edward Nygma squinted at him, and suddenly said, "You must have set me up."

West was caught off guard, his heart skipped a beat, and then he smirked, "What?"

Of course he knew what the Riddler was talking about. Although he didn't know how Nygma guessed it, he knew that he was telling Hall to intimidate him!

At this time, of course it is negative, and it can only be negative.

The Riddler looked at him, but he didn't show any surprise because of his denial.

Dick leaned over and whispered to West, "The Riddler is very smart. Even bats have praised his IQ."

Although it was said to be a low voice, his voice was actually not that low, at least enough for the Riddler and Penguin to hear clearly.

"Thank you Bat for me." The Riddler snorted and said to Dick very arrogantly.

"I'll answer for him, you're welcome." Dick replied.

West was surprised to see Dick talking to Riddler and Penguin, and felt that this scene was really strange.

"Edward Nygma is one of the few villains in Gotham who is not so murderous. He likes riddles and is also keen to give Bruce difficult problems." Tony explained behind him, "So under normal circumstances, when it doesn't involve human life At that time, Bruce was more willing to play riddle games with Nygma than anyone else, as long as he was not so crazy. As for the Penguin... The Penguin knew Bruce's identity, and he helped him once. The Penguin can be regarded as Gotham A rare old-school villain who commits crimes for power and money, not Arkham's lunatic. In short, the relationship between Gotham's villains and Gotham's vigilantes is more complicated, and you don't need to be so surprised."

Even after entering the painting, the others still couldn't see Tony, which made him confidently and boldly follow behind West.

West nodded secretly.

At this time, the Riddler suddenly said to West: "Have you noticed?"

West was taken aback by his sudden question and didn't answer for a moment.

The Riddler looked at him with disdain, as if saying, "Didn't you notice this?", and then continued, "Look at the chairs at the scene."

Chair?

West glanced at it, and suddenly came back to his senses, knowing what he meant.

There are thirteen chairs in total.

West is not a believer and knows that thirteen is a big taboo in Christianity.

It is rumored that Jesus had dinner with his disciples. His disciple Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 silver coins, so that Jesus was crucified.

"Dinner for 13 people?" West said.

Dick nodded too, noticing that too, and more at the same time.

"There's a cross in the room," Dick added.

The Riddler immediately answered: "But they are not straightened, most of them are placed in remote places, and there are some strange things suppressing them on the left and right."

From the few words they said, West already understood that this family might be hypocrites.

"Do you see what the art that the owner puts up is?" Dick asked the Riddler.

The Riddler asked back, "You know him?"

Hearing this, Dick frowned. Riddlers like riddles, and they involve the most extensive knowledge, which Dick has to admit.

Therefore, when he said that he didn't know each other, it seemed that he really didn't know each other.

They then said a few more words, which were basically related to the furnishings of the house.

Many details that West did not notice were discovered by the two of them.

During this period, people were brought over continuously.

However, most of these people are just little people in the Iceberg Club or some villains who are not well-known in Gotham.

The circular table gradually filled up, and Dick and the Riddler stopped talking.

When there were only two seats left at the table, the butler walked in.

He looked around the table and frowned: "Aren't the two guests sitting down?"

Um?Everyone at the table was taken aback for a moment, then glanced at each other.

There are only eleven people at the scene, right?

Only West raised his heart all of a sudden, and he instantly understood what the butler was talking about.

The butler is pointing to Hall and Tony.

By the way, this man didn't just look at him when he talked a few times when he entered the door.

Can he see Tony?

At this time, the butler asked again, "Aren't the two guests sitting down?"

Tony patted him on the shoulder as half-relief, then walked to a random empty seat and sat down.

Hall in West's arms also jumped out, ran to an empty seat and sat down.

The butler is satisfied with this.

"Haha, I didn't expect cats to be counted as positions." Seeing that several people were looking at him, West said with a dry smile.

The housekeeper was satisfied, and began to divide the meals at this time.

Surrounded by thirteen servants, each of these servants is pushing a dining cart. The dining cart is covered by a white cloth, so it is not clear what is inside.

"First of all, on behalf of the master, I would like to thank everyone for coming to our lady's birthday party." The butler clapped his hands and said seriously, "Secondly, I want to ask if everyone really came to the birthday party?"

For a moment, the scene was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground.

No one answered this question. Everyone knew that in this weird place, anyone who made a wrong step would be a dead end, so they didn't dare to answer a word first.

After a long time, it was the smartest riddleman on the scene who raised his hand, as obediently as a primary school student answering a question: "Yes, I really mean it."

"Mr. Nigma really deserves to be my master's best guest. Mr. Nigma has the right to choose the food first." The butler said happily, "I will ask Mr. Nigma to choose a dining car later. After the selection is over, you Swap with the other party's dining car."

As soon as they saw that there was nothing wrong with the Riddler speaking, the others rushed to show their sincerity to the housekeeper.

The postures of these people are very ugly, but they are all for survival, and West is unable to give any comments.

He noticed that neither Dick, Damian, nor Penguin, who was apparently with the Riddler, said anything.

So he didn't speak either.

It is not completely useless for those people to express their attitude towards the steward. The steward is very happy that everyone has given them a chance to choose.

Arrange in the order of speaking, and the person behind the person selected in front cannot be changed.

Calculated in this way, the person who gets the higher serial number is better, which makes people who speak slowly regret it.

But West didn't understand what was the point of their arguing about this.

The dining table at the back is all covered with a white cloth, and it is impossible to see what it is, so what is the point of choosing?

"Heh." West heard the Riddler beside him sneer.

After the entire selection sequence is over, only West, Dick, Damian, Penguin, Tony and Hall are left.

Exactly six people.

Except for Judas the Betrayer, half of the remaining twelve.

The butler took a deep look at them, as if wondering why they didn't fight for the right to choose.

But he didn't say anything. As soon as he saw that the order of the people was determined, he immediately said: "In this case, please start choosing."

He looked at the Riddler as if waiting to see who he would trade with.

Who knew that Nygma suddenly stretched out his hand at this time and made a gesture of abstaining: "I've never been very lucky, so I choose to wait until the other six have finished their choices."

His words confused everyone, including West.

But then he thought, yes, the things in it are unknown, so the first choice and the second choice are not the same thing.

The butler looked at the Riddler in surprise: "Mr. Nigma is sure? Once someone else chooses yours, you can't change it back."

"I'm sure." Nygma replied calmly.

West heard someone say, is the Riddler fooled by the world?

These voices were neither loud nor small, enough to reach them.

But the whole time, Riddler kept a very calm smile.

"In that case, let the others choose first." The housekeeper said, ending everyone's discussion.

And at this time, the selection starts, and the people behind the riddler choose unceremoniously.

Unexpectedly, the first person to be picked away was actually the dining car behind Nigma.

The person who challenged his dining car smiled provocatively at the Riddler.

Next, West discovered that not only him, but also Penguin, Dick, Damian, and him, Tony and Hall, had changed the dining car behind them once.

This is……

West couldn't help looking at the Riddler, but found that he still had a calm face.

"Since everyone has changed, let's have dinner."
