But college students are not like students of other age groups, the focus of life is only family and school.They need to engage with society in more ways.

For example, right now, when Yemengard was looking for the book he wanted to buy in a bookstore, suddenly, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, getting closer and closer.

Anyway, her current strength is not comparable to that of before (although I don’t remember), and she can’t use superpowers casually, and those who dare to run out to rob have two brushes in their hands...I mean hot weapons, hard weapons Fighting is definitely a bad idea.

Therefore, Ye Mengjia, who felt that something was wrong, quietly moved to the left rear - she had been here several times before, and knew that there was a... toilet not far from the door there.

...The above sentence seems to be a tasteful sentence, but...it must be admitted that urine escape is very useful in many cases.

More than 99% of these robbers are men, and most of them have no experience (...), that is to say... They don't know how to rob efficiently, and it is unlikely that they will rush into the women's bathroom with shame .

Jormungandr stood in an unobtrusive corner.Just as she guessed, it was someone who came to rob.

At first glance, he is an outsider.Yemengard made such an evaluation in his heart.

The equipment on his body is obviously a store product. Although it is not easy to find out the channel of purchase, the practicality (during the robbery) is not much higher.The action of holding the wooden gun in his hand is not very standard. Once he fires, let alone whether he can hit it (Yermengard highly doubts this), the recoil alone can give him a good look.

Besides, even a person with a little brain would not choose to rob a bookstore—although the number of customers in a bookstore is indeed smaller than that of a convenience store, the daily turnover is relatively much smaller. The cost of personal equipment cannot be recovered.

However, judging from the expression of the cashier lady, it seems that this kind of thing did not happen for the first time.

...Does that mean there are a lot of people in Gotham who are so poor that they lose their minds?Ye Mengjia couldn't help but start thinking about this question.

Regardless of the answer, it doesn't matter right now.

The cashier lady opened the cash register and took out all the cash inside and handed it over to the robber.Yemengarde stood far away, and he was sure of his previous thoughts - the young lady stopped after only digging once.

This amount obviously did not satisfy the robber. He waved the wooden bin in his hand at the cashier, cursing.

Ye Mengjiad suddenly felt something was wrong.And this feeling is not the same as before, not the feeling of "an accident will happen", but the feeling of "the next development will be completely beyond your expectations".

The robber was still "dirty" at the exit, waving around with the wooden warehouse.Yemengard couldn't see the cashier's expression, but she felt that a dramatic turn was about to happen.

After a while, I don't know what the robber said—it might be that the cashier girl got impatient, she jumped up, lifted the robber's collar suddenly, and pressed his head down hard. He slammed the ground on the counter, making a heavy "boom" sound, and then he slammed wildly like a whack-a-mole.

Ye Mengjia had to say, fortunately, the counter is made of wood, if there is a piece of glass on it...then the second injury will be serious.

This fledgling robber brother may be a little bit arrogant, thinking that with a wooden warehouse in his hand, he is invincible in the world. He never thought that the little poor (???) who was under his threat before would suddenly go crazy...

How did you say that sentence?Never underestimate anyone?

The robber brother may have been stunned at first, but he didn't resist at all.But later... I am afraid that there is no way to resist at all.

After a while—afterwards, Ye Mengjiad looked at the phone and found that it had only been a few minutes, but it felt like half an hour—the cashier girl stopped what she was doing and carried the robber The little brother's collar went to the door and threw him out like trash, clapped his hands with a refreshed face, and went back behind the counter.

...What, you said call the police?seriously?This is Gotham, and everyone knows how efficient GCPD is.Call the police for such a trivial (???) and who knows when they'll arrive.Besides, after receiving such a lesson, the robber would probably never want to rob this bookstore again.

Haha, but from the look of the cashier lady, I know that this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, and the robber brother has never even done the preliminary investigation ("On which shop to rob with the least risk and the greatest return"), there will be such a The result is also expected.

As for why the lady at the cashier was so obedient at the beginning... probably because she thought that if you want just that little money, you can take it if you want. Anyway, if you see that there is only a little cash in it, you won’t come here if you rob in the future. ……so.

Hmm... But speaking of it this way, regardless of whether the cashier girl is mad or not, the end result is the same...

This unexpected incident seemed to be resolved in a fairly satisfactory way, but Jormungandr felt a sense of anxiety that could not be described in words.

That's not how it should be.This idea has been hovering in her mind for some time.

Why do you feel this way?Ye Mengjiad didn't know, but she felt that it might have something to do with her past memories.

Obviously, she has made up her mind not to focus on the lost memories, but all the things she has experienced now make her have to think and care.

There's no need to be so... troublesome, these people are just... real little people.They may be able to make what they think is a great achievement, they can move mountains and seas, and change the era... But these are still nothing.

Jormungandr looks at other people from above.This perspective naturally has its advantages, such as being able to clearly understand all the characteristics of each person.

But this also eliminates the possibility of deepening connections with other people.

Maybe she didn't feel it herself, but she really didn't have awe of any existence.

However, in this world, there is nothing worthy of her awe, is there?

...even though she doesn't know it herself.But she also vaguely felt that it was impossible and unnecessary for her to maintain relatively close contact with other people.

why?

Let's put it this way: How can humans with completely different views fall in love with other creatures?Uh... I think, except for some people, there will be such a plot in the book. In real life, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.No, the otaku married to the pillow can't be counted, because they haven't even talked about love...

Of course, Yemengade would not be disappointed by this, but—why she would behave like this naturally, she still doesn't know.

It's okay if you don't care about this problem, but after you really notice it, you can't help but think why it is like this.

Yemengard's self-control ability is very strong, but this matter has something to do with her, so she can't let her think about it.

She tried to guess what kind of person she would be in the past.

Maybe a nasty rich kid who abandoned herself after finding out she was a mutant... But kids from that kind of family are usually not very self-care, but she's pretty good at everything herself (no, That's just a matter of IQ, her brain is big enough).

It is also possible that she used to have a second-class disease, and after discovering that she is a mutant, she directly swelled... No, even if a second-class patient suffers from amnesia, she must subconsciously think that she is the master of the world (...) or the devil (... …)Bar?

No matter how you think about it, there are loopholes, Ye Mengjia shook his head and diverted his attention.

This matter is important, but not urgent.

……

These days, Gotham has been undercurrents.

After the super criminals escaped from Arkham, they made waves and made Gotham smoky... no, more smoky than ever.

GCPD and Batman have successfully achieved the achievement of "all over night shift", and they did find opportunities to catch some criminals - such as killer crocodile.But many more are still at large.

Bruce Wayne also appeared on the headlines with dark circles under his eyes that even foundation couldn't hide.There are many speculations on the gossip tabloids. Although the details are different, the generalization is similar. Anyway, it can make everyone smile "I understand, and you understand"... that kind.

Ye Mengjiad had no interest in gossip, but he couldn't stand the fact that other people around him were talking about it, and he knew everything he needed to know.

This is a very strange phenomenon.

Regardless of safety or other considerations, Gotham citizens should focus on super villains, but they seem to feel no danger at all, preferring to talk about all kinds of groundless gossip.

I don't know whether to praise them for being fearless or scold them for being ignorant, but it's also possible... This is just a manifestation of their contempt for their own lives.

Because you may lose your life at any time, so... why don't you put your own safety first, and just live for instant enjoyment?

Who knows what they think?

Ye Mengjiad did not and would not think about these things, those emotions were just superfluous existences for her.

She doesn't have the emotions of ordinary people, but she doesn't feel confused, let alone the so-called walking dead.

……

"..."

My head hurts.This feeling came clearly when he was not fully awake.

Then there was a noise, she could hear crying one after another, the sound of all kinds of glass (there are a lot of glassware in the laboratory) being smashed, the muffled sound of running in the corridor and then falling...

what happened?Ye Mengjia had to try hard to recall the previous situation.

By the way, she came to the laboratory building of the school, ready to complete an experiment according to the professor's request, and then... yes, the alarm suddenly sounded, and everyone in the laboratory building ran out, wanting to leave through the door, but they didn't know What's going on, after a few muffled bangs, she smelled a chemical smell that she had never encountered before.She herself was fine. After inhaling the gas, other people began to cry and scream, with distorted expressions. Some waved their arms trying to push away the people around them, and some curled themselves up in a corner, constantly Make a sobbing sound.

And then Yemengard was pushed and shoved by several people and accidentally hit the fire hydrant with the back of her head... until she woke up a few minutes later.

Her head hurts, but her thinking ability has not been weakened by it.

Yemengard couldn't see what kind of suffering these people were going through, and she couldn't empathize with them, but what she saw was enough for her to understand what was going on.

--scarecrow.

His real name is Jonathan Crane (Jonathan Crane), who used to be a professor of psychology at Gotham University, but he was later discovered by the school and fired because of his unorthodox teaching and illegal human experiments in private.It is said that he later held a grudge against this and attempted to control those in power at the university so that his research could continue.And the scarecrow is most famous for his fear gas... Now everything can be matched.

Obviously, the Scarecrow has a lot to tell about Gotham University, and it is understandable that he came back to find fault with it now...

This time, he apparently sneaked into the laboratory building to install the equipment, and then planned to use the teachers and students in the building as hostages to negotiate terms with Gotham University—or GCPD, or Batman.

This can be regarded as a relatively common routine.
