Chapter 1499: Twilight Event (21)

~11 min read 2,115 words

Bruce came to find Pamela, really not because of Pamela's topic, mainly because he knew Pamela was a contractor of the Green, and could communicate directly with the Green. Bruce wanted to talk to the Green through Pamela and get information about the upcoming enemies from him.

But Pamela's botany attainments really shocked him. Bruce really couldn't help it, he asked with some disbelief: "I haven't left Cat Getan for a few weeks, how did you make so many, uh, hitting plants?"

"Amazing, right?" Pamela said unpleasantly. She hugged her arms and began to pace between these flower pots and said: "Thanks to the love of this damn city of sin, I have decided to give up the cultivation of agricultural plant development and turn to the new field of security plant development. I will invite you on the day I go to receive the Nobel Prize, Mr. Wayne."

Bruce didn't hear anger and helplessness in Pamela's tone, only a kind of cold humor condensed to the extreme. He looked down at these lively plants all over the floor and walls, and couldn't help but sigh.

"How many of these plants do you have?"

"As many as you want." Pamela shrugged and said: "The cultivation of a batch of crops requires a lot of seeds. I kept all the seeds. Borrowing the power of the Green, I can make them grow up instantly."

"Then... how is the combat effectiveness?"

"Do you want to try?"

Bruce hesitated slightly. The fact that plants hit people was a bit absurd. He hadn't encountered it before, and Bruce really couldn't imagine how much attack power these green plants in the small flower pot could have.

"Why don't you find a weaker one and let it out to see?" Bruce asked tentatively.

Pamela sighed, moved a pot of hitting ball lettuce from her feet. As soon as she took off the cover on the flower pot, the ball lettuce jumped out.

"Wait a minute, didn't this one get anesthesia? Damn, this is the batch without anesthesia!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Clatter! Clatter!"

"Oh!"

A few dozen seconds later, Bruce covered one side of his cheek, pulled Pamela and made an emergency brake at the corner of the teaching building corridor, running in the other direction. He ran and shouted: "Don't you have the power of the Green? Why can't you control them?"

"I also asked the Green this, but he read it and didn't reply!"

"Does this thing not distinguish between friend and foe?"

"Don't have too high requirements for a plant."

"I have high requirements for you!"

More than ten minutes later, Victor and Nora carried freeze guns, looked at the plants frozen all over the floor and Bruce and Pamela sitting on the ground panting, he sighed deeply and said: "Bruce, you should really build a separate laboratory for Miss Pamela on that island. This kind of experiment can be called extremely dangerous even in Cat Getan."

"I'm just a botanist!" Pamela said in a breakdown: "Why would I need a laboratory with security level?!"

"Thank this damn city of sin." Bruce turned his head to look at her and said.

Afterwards, Bruce visited the Falcone Manor again. Coincidentally, Gordon, Luo Yin, and Yin Wensi were discussing the concert. After listening to Bruce's account of the incident, Luo Yin was the first to worry and said: "This shouldn't affect the concert a month later, right?"

"Still early." Yin Wensi shook his head and said: "It will come within a week, and it will definitely be solved within three weeks. Let's think about how to deal with this wave of magician invasion first."

And Bruce was concerned about another thing. He looked at Gordon and said: "Have you and your subordinates heard of anyone causing trouble because they were controlled by black diamonds recently?"

"Don't mention it, I was just about to find you." Gordon sighed and said: "Didn't we eat barbecue in the East District together before? Jack told me that he watched the variety show you hosted, and heard that a truck driver seemed to have picked up a black diamond in the process of running a long distance."

Bruce frowned slightly and said: "Is anyone injured?"

"This is the strange thing, I haven't heard of anyone going crazy, nor did any manic injury events appear."

"Then where is this diamond now?"

Gordon shook his head and said: "I don't know, the truck driver seemed to have sold it. This kind of gem that hasn't been seen in the market should also have some value. It's normal for drivers to be short of money and sell it."

Hearing this, Bruce felt something was wrong. He stretched out a hand to the three of them to say sorry, and then came to the telephone next to the hall downstairs of Falcone Manor and dialed a familiar number.

"Hey, honey, where are you now?"

"My God, so boring, Bruce!" Selina's energetic tone came from the other end of the phone, with a little complaint and coquettishness: "Even if you have discovered that I returned to Cat Getan, can't you pretend not to know and give me a surprise?"

"Where are you? I'll find you now!"

"I'm at home, you come quickly, I'll give you a surprise!"

Bruce rushed to Selina's new home at the fastest speed. It was a house he bought with his own money during the fifth phase of Cat Getan's renovation project. It was a full eighty square meters. Looking at Cat Getan's population density, it could be called a mansion.

As soon as Bruce rushed into the door, Selina jumped down from the top of the door frame, turned over and threw herself into his arms. The two kissed for a while. Bruce just wanted to talk about business, but Selina smiled and said to him.

"You absolutely can't imagine what good things I found—ta-da!"

Selina imitated the sound effect in her mouth, stretched out a hand into a fist in front of Bruce's eyes, and suddenly opened her palm. Lying in her palm was a black diamond.

"Haven't been back to Cat Getan for a long time, didn't expect there to be such good goods here, I received it from a truck driver, giving it to you."

Bruce snatched the diamond and rushed into the house. Selina stood behind him and said: "Hey, even if you feel very surprised, you don't have to be so excited."

Bruce stood in front of the sofa, while Selina was still standing at the door. Selina was about to walk over, Bruce stretched out a hand and said: "You stand there and don't move, have you heard any strange voices recently?"

"Uh, is the decoration drill downstairs too loud?"

"I mean, have you heard anyone talking in your mind... Forget it, Eclipso, are you there? Spirit of Wrath, get out quickly, tell me what you did to Selina."

As a result, what Bruce heard was not the clear and clear dialogue he heard in London before, but a series of vague shouts. Bruce listened carefully, and he found that the familiar voice was shouting.

"No! No! Don't come over, you group of damn... My God, who can save me? This is really too crazy... I am darkness, I am madness! I am madness!"

Eclipso kept repeating this sentence, and no other useful information came. Bruce stared at the diamond in his hand and said uncertainly: "Is he... crazy?"

Selina also noticed something wrong at this moment. She walked to Bruce's side and stared at the black diamond with some curiosity and said: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this thing?"

"Didn't you watch the recent variety show?"

"Don't you know? I'm filming in a movie crew recently, playing a thief villain in the latest '007', the female lead's scenes are quite a lot, I don't have much time to watch TV."

"Okay, the thing is like this..."

Bruce began to tell Selina about what happened during this period of time, but he didn't expect that Selina's first reaction after listening was not to worry about him, but to raise her two eyebrows, stare at Bruce and say.

"You told the whole world that you would propose to me after collecting the diamonds, then if you didn't propose, wouldn't I have no face?!"

But soon Selina reacted again. Her toes turned on the ground, and she muttered: "I don't mean that I must let you propose..."

Bruce put his arms around her waist and took her to sit on the sofa, kissed her cheek and said: "Proposing with a cursed black diamond is not very romantic, you naturally deserve better."

Selina wasn't really angry, so she hummed and curled her lips. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she jumped up from the sofa, stood in front of Bruce, shook her head and said: "I have another surprise for you, you are not allowed to be angry after watching it."

"What is it?" Bruce asked.

Selina bent down and dragged a box from under the coffee table, opening the lid.

It was a whole box of black diamonds.

With a "clatter," a box full of black diamonds was poured onto the coffee table. A conservative estimate was forty or fifty. Bruce was dumbfounded again. He looked at Selina and asked: "Where did you get them?"

"I said you are not allowed to be angry, I stole them."

Selina blinked and said: "Ever since I saw the second identical diamond at the stall, I knew this thing definitely wasn't just one or two."

"I didn't know you made a variety show, but I wanted to give you a surprise, so I almost touched the whole city in the few days I returned to Cat Getan. I dare to be sure that this is all the black diamonds in Cat Getan."

Selina seemed to be a bit uneasy. She knew Bruce didn't like her stealing things, but Bruce stood up and hugged her tightly, and the two kissed again.

"You really surprise me, honey." Bruce whispered in Selina's ear: "I don't know whether I should be shocked that you love me so much, or shocked by your exquisite stealing skills."

Selina's focus was obviously on the second half of the sentence. She hummed proudly, put her chin on Bruce's shoulder and said: "You don't know how powerful I am, Cat Getan's God Thief is not a false name!"

Bruce gave her a thumbs up in admiration. Being able to get all the black diamonds in Cat Getan in just a few days was not ordinary powerful. Then he asked with some curiosity: "I heard that Cat Getan has four great thieves, is every one of them as efficient as you?"

"It's not that Cat Getan has four great thieves, but that every district has four great thieves. There are sixteen people in total... Don't look at me like that, you don't know how fierce the competition in Cat Getan's thief industry is. Filming '007' is considered relaxation for me!"

Selina sighed, counted with her fingers and said: "Thieves are a sub-category in the thief industry, usually referring to those thieves who use hooks and climbing skills to sneak into the homes of the rich or museums at night to steal treasures."

"In addition, there are 'three hands' who steal money and bags in bustling commercial streets with heavy traffic; 'house thieves' who pick locks and enter residential houses; 'little thieves' who often appear in train stations and hotels with many outsiders, mixing in newsboys or flower boys and cigarette boys, using outsiders' sympathy for children to steal property; 'female thieves' who specialize in honey traps or pretending to be prostitutes to steal from johns; 'gang thieves' where several people cause trouble to attract attention and one person goes to steal; and many 'accountant thieves', 'hacker thieves', 'sailor thieves', etc., who use professional skills to steal money."

"Because there are too many thieves, the competition is very fierce, and Cat Getan people have irritable tempers. Once caught, they will definitely be beaten to death. Now those who can survive are at least veterans who have been through hundreds of battles."

"Great thief, God thief, Ghost hand, Magician, Old K, Black 8, etc., are all code names for the most powerful thieves in each district. I am just the head of the four great thieves in the East District, just one of the four representatives of a branch in the industry."

Looking at Selina's serious eyes, and then looking at the pile of black diamonds on the table, a light bulb suddenly lit up on Bruce's head.

"Wait, I have a bold idea..." ***
