The big orange is the most important [comprehensive British and American]

New York is really a good place. There are outstanding people, every inch of land is precious, and you have to worry about whether you will go bankrupt when you drink saliva. The rich are like fish in water, while the poor are struggling.

——Feelings from Fiona, who has no income at the moment and can only work part-time in a takeaway shop.

In order to leave Gotham quickly, she really packed lightly. How light is her luggage?Except for the checked clothes, bulky items and the orange cat, she only brought a little change of clothes and the pair of white witchcraft tarot cards that had followed her for many years. As for the silver knife, crystal ball, double-headed points Things like candles and goat skulls were not treated so well. They were all packed and delivered together in clothes.

I didn't even dare to put anything else in my bag, because I was afraid of being detained as a cult member at the security check.

Although Batman didn't show up on the matter of moving, people from the Wayne Group suddenly came to the door and said, "Congratulations, you are the thousandth customer who passed by our door today, and we will provide you with a free to go." Airfare to New York and year-round hotel", the pie that fell from the sky directly made Fiona dizzy.

In the years since Batman debuted, there has been a lot of buzz about his relationship with the Wayne Corporation, to put it bluntly, gossip and specious news about the Dark Knight and Gotham Baby , can directly support an [-]-line tabloid.Fiona has seen Batman's high-tech equipment at close range, and the expensive battle armor with her toes. Naturally, she also has a certain understanding of the Wayne Group, but understanding is nothing but understanding. She accepts help from complete strangers, and she can't live with a good conscience anyway.

Don't look at her as sweet and gentle, but in fact she is very stubborn and very principled. She absolutely does not owe this kind of favor that cannot be repaid because it is not related to her, so this is why she is working in a New York takeaway shop now. s reason:

Fiona converted all expenses such as air tickets to New York, luggage check-in, year-round hotel, etc. into cash, and sent them to Bruce Wayne in cash.This amount of money is not a small amount. Although Fiona has a rich inheritance left to her by Fidelis, in order not to sit still and eat nothing, she has long made a list of spending plans for herself. It's time to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, such as now.

When the front desk was notified that "someone sent you a registered letter saying it was a check", Bruce and Tim were in the company together on a rare occasion. When they heard the news, they looked at each other and had thousands of thoughts in their hearts:

Is it a threatening letter or a bomb/bomb or a jailbreak warning or a crime warning letter?

As a result, when the check that was tightly sealed in the envelope was taken out and presented in front of them, the two of them were silent at the same time, never expecting that it was really an ordinary check.For the natives of Gotham, the perception of the Wayne Group is basically "since they are so rich, they will take advantage of it." They never expected that there are still people in this world who stick to principles and don't like to eat rice. people.After a while, Tim still spoke pointedly:

"Looks like she doesn't want to owe you a favor, Bruce."

Bruce stuffed the check into his book silently, and decided to drop by her when he went to New York another day.

When a person has become a habit of giving to the people around him based on his identity and status, whether it is sincere - for the Bat family, or false - for those female companions who play on the spot, suddenly seeing It was only natural to feel a little uneasy at someone who was so persistent in trying to get rid of him, and he was genuinely worried about whether Fiona would go bankrupt because of it.

At this time, Fiona doesn't know that her financial situation has been missed by Batman himself in Gotham.She is chatting with another part-time partner in the store. The girl who works with her is called Mary, who is a few years older than her. She just got the news that her idol has a girlfriend, and she is very depressed. , accidentally saw the white witchcraft Tarot that Fiona was carrying with her, and pestered her to ask her to help her set up a card array to calculate whether their true love can last forever:

"Please Fiona, just help me."

Fiona was so entangled, she asked, "Who is your idol?"

"What, don't you know about his?! He's super famous—" At this moment, Mary remembered that the Russian girl in front of her was not a native of New York, and quickly showed 12 points of enthusiasm to sell Amway:

"Oh yes, you are from Gotham. The locals in Gotham seem to like Batman a little bit more. After all, when he voted in the previous superhero forum, his ranking and my male god have been closely tied. But you It's never too late to get a fan of him, my idol is Iron Man! Tony Stark, the 'Da Vinci of today', is quite an inventive genius!"

It happened that there was not much business in the store right now, so the store manager asked them to touch fish for a while. Hearing that Mary was so famous as Iron Man, she couldn't help but also joined in: "Why don't you say that he is still a playboy? He really can Do you want to maintain this long-term relationship with Miss Pepper, if I ask you, I feel bad enough."

When Mary was asked by him, she suddenly fell silent. Fiona couldn't bear it, and quickly helped her out:

"A man's worth is reflected in his intelligence and contributions, not in his private life, is it Mary?"

Mary: "...No Fiona, you are too flattering me. My level of thinking is not that high. It's just that I ignored this because of my preference for male gods."

Fiona: ...Mistake, sorry, goodbye.

"Then can you divination?" Mary looked at her with bright eyes: "I like Miss Pepper very much. I have had close contact with her when I visited Stark Industries before. She is a very good-looking blonde beauty. If she really broke up with Iron Man, I don't know who I should feel sorry for...It's so troublesome, I really hope they can stay together forever."

"No." Fiona patted her on the shoulder dumbfounded: "What are you thinking, you are asking a personal relationship question for someone you don't know well, and you want to draw the correct conclusion under the double information blur It is even more difficult to say, a normal Tarot master cannot do this."

"Are you normal then?" Mary asked, "I know you're not."

Fiona: ...No, wait, please wait.Although I am indeed not a "normal" Tarot master in the traditional sense, but your way of asking makes me look like a pervert? !

Russia, St. Petersburg.

"How's it going?!" Martha didn't get enough sleep for twelve hours today, so she and Eugene went to meet Dahlia who had returned from a long journey. When she saw Dahlia wearing that suit, she almost became her When the black windbreaker and black long skirt specially designed for going out appeared at the door of Bantiwa, he jumped up and down the steps excitedly and rushed down to meet her:

"Have you gone to make up the knife, has the villain finally been punished? Good job Dahlia, I knew that if you use combat magic, you will be invincible, let alone a clown, curse the entire Aka Mudu easily and easily-"

Daria shook her head slightly, met the shocked and puzzled gazes of the two colleagues, and said in a low voice, "Let's go in and talk about it."

As soon as she entered, she saw Tatiana reading a book under a blanket on the sofa.She is still pregnant, and she is about to give birth, because the nature of black magic will not be weakened by different purposes, no matter whether the purpose of cursing is purely to curse people or to make people get evil. , and the curse will not only affect herself, but also affect the most vulnerable fetus. Therefore, out of consideration for her safety, although she is the head witch, she is the only one among the nine witches of St. Petersburg who did not participate. .

Tatyana closed the book, nodded to Daria and asked, "What's the matter? It doesn't look very smooth."

Dahlia stood the suitcase by the door, before she even had time to drink: "Our curse has been triggered in advance."

She looked at Tatyana, Eugene, and Martha: "If he dies now, then this life will be carried by nine people. Although I can make up for it regardless, but... I don't think I can do it .”

Martha suddenly remembered the premonitory dream she had a few days ago. Although the dream was based on boundless darkness and bloody red blood, filled with endless oppression and evil, there was a bright and gentle cloud in the middle. The white light always protected her in that nightmare.The Dream Witch, who has never been very good at other things, but is quite good at dreaming and dream interpretation, suddenly had a premonition: "Could it be..."

"Yes." Dahlia nodded, confirming her guess: "It's white witchcraft, which is very rare now."

She exchanged glances with the people around her and reached an agreement silently:

Regardless of whether the ninth person's push was intentional or unintentional, as witches who obeyed the rules, they could not rashly break her protection.This is not only a matter of rules, but also a matter of conscience. If she really succeeded in making up the knife and killed that villain, who knows what kind of harm this person who has always been protected by white witchcraft will suffer?At that time, I am afraid that the curse will be the least dangerous thing she has to face.

Facing the unknown danger that their unknown companions were about to face, the witches of St. Petersburg did not rush for success, but chose to retreat unanimously and cautiously.

"There are cubs protected by white witchcraft these days." Martha lost her focus in minutes:

"It's so strange, I want to post a commemorative tweet, ah no, it's easy to be decoded by others... Then I'll post it on the forum, after all, everyone on the forum is more professional, and they won't go to someone who is protected by white witchcraft. troublesome people."

"Martha." Dahlia was planning to go back to put her luggage, but accidentally caught a glimpse of Martha's login interface. The combination of "my colleague is as beautiful as a flower" and "in a dream" is quite a turning point. After being silent for three seconds, she kindly patted Martha on the shoulder, showing a friendly smile:

"Come on, take it easy, let me see your signature."

Martha, who got too skinny before and forgot to change her signature back: ... Oh shit.I'm afraid it's over.
