"By the way... is it too late to go now?"

"Of course it's too late, you have to leave later." Selena said behind Depp.

Today, she is wearing a black high-slit open-back low-cut evening dress, a quail egg-sized sapphire necklace around her neck, and black high heels make her even more sexy and tall.

After chatting with Bruce Wayne, she dragged Depp by the wrist and walked to the guests to introduce Depp and the others.

Depp covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "I don't think I'm interested in meeting these big men."

Selena glanced at it, she thought Depp was a little socially afraid, and said with a wicked smile: "This is learned from you, and I also hope that my friends can get to know each other."

Apparently in revenge for the night, Depp forced her feud with Natasha.

Bruce looked at Selena and Depp with a sour feeling in his heart for no reason, and then walked over to a sexy fishnet girl in the distance.

"This is Leonardo Depp, the owner of an antique shop, my friend." Selena introduced: "These two are Jonathan and Dr. Hugo, professors of psychology at Gotham University."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Several people exchanged simple greetings, Professor Hugo answered the phone halfway and left in a hurry.

Suddenly, a message from Quentin Baker made Depp hear a long-lost popular science tip.

"Mr. Depp, is it convenient to answer the phone? I think I need your help."

This guy has become Depp's licking dog for a while now in order to get Depp to help him have some nice things to say at Tony's.

"The elements are complete, and two-way science popularization can be carried out. Science popularization successfully randomly selected one special ability from each of the two parties, and introduced a piece of lens and a bottle of concentrated life essence."

Depp, who heard the prompt, directly invited Quentin Baker to video, and the video was connected, and the future supervillain "Mysterio" seemed very excited.

"I didn't expect you to send me a video directly, Mr. Depp... To be honest, I have encountered some bottlenecks in my recent research. I wonder if you can help me talk to my boss and increase some funds."

"I've already told Tony twice for you, Baker. But in terms of research funding, you still need Tony to approve your research." Depp said: "But as for your research, I think you can follow me Talk to Professor Jonathan."

Depp turned the light curtain to Jonathan and said, "This is Quentin Baker, a researcher at Stark Industries, who is good at creating illusions with virtual reality technology, as well as some chemical research."

"But he seems to have encountered some difficulties now and wants to talk to you to see if there will be any new inspiration."

Although he had never heard of Stark Industries, Jonathan took a sip of the champagne in his hand and nodded, "I am willing to serve."

Chapter 27 Number One Pony

Depp continued to introduce Jonathan, saying: "This is Professor Jonathan from Gotham University. He specializes in psychology and has deep attainments in chemistry. You can communicate on the phone."

"Hello Professor Jonathan, thank you for your willingness to help." Quentin said: "The main direction of my research is virtual reality technology. He can really make fakes look real, not the flat technology in the movie. Now its effect is very good. Great, but it doesn't really get people emotional...I don't know what it's missing."

Jonathan pinched his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I think you can start with people's most primitive emotions and try to mobilize people's single emotion perfectly first."

"The most primitive emotion of human beings?" Quentin was a little puzzled.

"Yes, there are four emotions, happiness, anger, sadness, and fear." Jonathan said: "I personally suggest that you start with fear and try to rely on your own fantasy to evoke people's deepest fears."

The more Depp listened, the more wrong it felt. Why did the two of them lead to a crooked path after chatting?

Depp immediately stopped: "My phone is about to run out of battery, let's talk another day, see you Quentin."

"Uh... well. Goodbye Mr. Depp, goodbye Professor Jonathan."

Quentin Baker, who closed the video, stood there and said softly, "Fear? Maybe it's an interesting research direction."

"Successful two-way science popularization, get a piece of the mirror of introduction, and randomly select two special abilities."

"Get Jonathan Klein's first version of how Dread Gas is made, and get Quentin Baker's knowledge of holographic systems."

"Get a bottle of Life Concentrate Essence."

With the reward pouring into the brain, Depp is refreshed, saying that knowledge is power!

As for the concentrated essence of life, it is a highly concentrated essence of life that can be used to quickly restore vitality and spiritual power.

But there is no way to recast severed limbs and bring the dead back to life.

After that, Selena took Depp to meet many guests, including those future super criminals, and many dignitaries who will bleed heavily today.

Depp is so handsome in his own right, and the single-frame profile mirror adds a bit of wisdom to him, plus the wit and humor he brought from his previous life, he left a good impression on these guys. .

Although he is reluctant to have too much friendship with these super criminals, Depp feels that a little connection is not a bad idea.

After all, you may also need the help of these tool people to activate the system and gain capabilities.

Selena's behavior also caused a lot of discussion among the people in the venue, who speculated that Depp might be Selena's lover.

After a while, Selena started hosting tonight's charity party in the center of the venue.

Between dance acrobatics and magic shows, precious collections were put up for auction, and all the auction proceeds were donated to Gotham Charity Federation and Gotham Small Animal Relief.

The most lavish among them was Bruce, who took almost half of the whole lot with his arms around a fishnet girl named Dana Lance.

Depp had little interest in performances and auctions. After sitting for a while, he got up and left, wandering around the villa.

The reason why he didn't leave was because Selena had just told him that there was something to say when the party was over.

Walking boredly, Depp heard a strange "rustle" sound coming from a room.

He put his ear to the door, and found that in addition to the rustling sound, there was a boy talking to himself.

"Damn, the scales grow faster and faster!"

"Have to scrape these scales off quickly, but it hurts so much..."

"But there's nothing I can do. I can't let people find out that I'm an outlier. I don't want to be played as a monkey in the circus."

Depp held the door handle and found that it could be turned easily. The little fool even forgot to close the door.

With the sound of the door opening, a boy in a waiter's clothes in the room looked back in horror.

Although the boy's appearance and voice are immature, his body is not weak. Depp visually estimates that the boy is at least 190 centimeters.

And on his neck and exposed wrists, covered with green scales. . .like a crocodile.

Look at the name on the boy's head. . . [Wayron Jones], Depp knew right away that this was the supervillain known as the Killer Crocodile in the future.

Waylon Jones suffered from an atavistic disease from a young age, in which scales kept growing on his body, and the condition became more severe as he got older.

Wei Lun eventually turned into a half-human, half-crocodile monster with a green body, sharp teeth, more than two meters tall and weighing more than [-] kilograms.

but. . .It's still a youth version.

Not surprisingly, in the future, he will give up shaving the scales on his body every day because it is too painful.

And he would bite off the arm of the circus owner who insulted him and underpaid his wages, thus truly embarking on a criminal path.

To be honest, Depp is a little bit broken right now.

Perhaps only Gotham can make a person meet eight or nine superheroes and supervillains sitting together in one night, chatting and laughing, and slipping through the water is a youth version.

Wei Lun said in horror at this time: "Sir, don't be afraid. I... I was just scratching the fish scales, and the fish scales rubbed against my hands."

Saying that, Wei Lun squeezed the scale on his arm and pulled it out with force.

"Look, sir... these are just fish scales, not from me..." With that, Waylon pulled out another scale, with even a trace of blood on the end.

Depp took a deep breath watching this scene, and the temperature in the room seemed to have risen a bit.

"Son, don't pull it out... I look at it and it hurts." Depp stopped.

As soon as Waylen heard this, he knew that Depp didn't believe his clumsy lies at all, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

He thought sadly that he had better leave secretly in a while to avoid being visited by people as monsters.

Looking at this poor guy, Depp said, "Since you are so afraid of being discovered that you are different, why don't you come and work in my shop?"

"In your shop?" Wei Lun said. "After knowing that I'm an alien, are you really willing to hire a guy like me?"

Depp nodded and closed the door with his hand: "Of course, as long as you work hard enough."

"I have been working very, very, very hard!" Wellen said three very hard to express his level of effort, and then asked, "Can I ask why you are willing to hire someone like me."

Depp opened his palms, and the dazzling thunder and lightning danced like a silver snake in his hands.

"Because...we are the same."

Watching Depp's hands crackling and surging thunder and lightning, Waylon was so surprised that his mouth opened into an O shape.

He said enviously: "This is too cool."

Chapter 28 Undercurrents

When the banquet was over, Selena's door was closed.

In the room, Selena sat on the bed with a lot of style, with dozens of cats squatting obediently beside the bed.

She took off her high heels and threw it at random, and said to Depp, who was sitting in the chair: "I think we are in trouble."

"Trouble?" Depp was a little puzzled.

Selena explained: "In recent months, there have been more and more perverted murderers in this city."

Depp took a piece of dessert from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, saying indifferently: "Although I don't want this to happen, isn't this city always like this, this is Gotham."

If it wasn't for the system, I would have left this hellish place long ago.

Selena shook her head, took off her evening gown without hesitation, got up and changed her clothes in front of Depp.

"This time is different. In the past, those guys were just ordinary criminals." Putting on a pair of cat slippers, Selena said with a worried look: "But since Bruce started to fight at night, the strange criminals in this city have become More and more."

She changed into a lace black suspender nightgown and sat down beside Depp.

Depp pushed the pastries at the table to Selena and said, "Like the guy who likes to leave riddles at crime scenes and freezers and electrocutters?"

Selena picked through the dessert plate, moved the strawberry-flavored one aside, and took a mango-flavored one and put it in her mouth.

While chewing, he said vaguely: "Yes, there is the guy who committed a crime only three months ago, but let dozens of people die with terrifying smiles, maybe he can also be nicknamed... .For example, the smirk or something."

Weird man. . .In a sense it is quite appropriate.

Depp thought maybe because Joseph didn't commit any more crimes after that night and was never arrested, so no one knew about his clown appearance but himself.

To be honest, he thought Joseph might have left the city, although he would come back eventually.

Depp said, "And the guy who can grow plants out of people, maybe call him Poison Ivy? But...what does this have to do with our troubles?"
