Chapter 5 The Confession Game (new book for collection)

The appearance of Captain America was like a fuse, igniting the beginning of the superhero era.

Spider-Woman and the Fantastic Four are just the more well-known ones.

Other superheroes such as Daredevil, Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, Blade and so on also appeared one after another.

Now that there are superheroes, there will naturally be super villains.

Compared with the explosion of superheroes, the number of super villains is currently relatively small.

The reason is simple, because these super villains not only need to deal with the blows of superheroes, but also need to deal with the blows of official forces and the frame-up of their peers.

All colleagues are enemies!

This is especially true in the supervillain industry.

To give a simple example, there is only one Earth, but there is more than one super villain who wants to conquer and destroy the Earth.

Then, who will conquer and destroy the earth becomes an internal problem that the super villains need to solve.

"I will ask someone to investigate the anonymous call and see if I can find any useful information."

"But do you need to explain your performance yesterday?"

Although he already knew Diana's origins, Russell never revealed this.

Now he just had the opportunity to ask Diana how she came into this world openly. Of course, he would not let this opportunity go easily.

After hearing Russell's inquiry, Diana put down the knife and fork in her hand, a complicated look appeared on her pretty face.

After a few seconds of silence, she slowly said, "I... am not from this world."

In the following time, Diana did not hide anything and told her origins in detail.

When Diana confessed her origins, Russell was also comparing some of the information he knew in his mind.

Although he knew that Diana came from the DC world next door, he didn't know which universe in the DC world next door Diana came from.

In terms of the number of parallel universes, there are many more comics with infinite parallel universes than DC with only 52 parallel universes.

But even so, it didn't mean that the Diana in front of him was the Wonder Woman he knew.

Diana spoke quickly.

In less than ten minutes, Russell roughly figured out Diana's past life experience.

To put it simply, Diana's past life experience was not much different from what he remembered.

Growing up on Paradise Island, he was taken out of Paradise Island by Steve Trevor during the First World War, and finally defeated Ares, the god of war, who was the culprit of the First World War.

In 1984, she defeated Leopard Girl and solved the "Wishing Stone" crisis.

Later, she met Superman and Batman, and the three teamed up to defeat Doomsday.

Once here, Diana's life experience is different from what Russell remembered.

After Superman died, Diana left human society and returned to Paradise Island.

A few years later, after dealing with a demon trying to invade the human world, she was struck by a red lightning bolt.

When she woke up, she had already traveled to this world.

In terms of time, she traveled a year earlier than Russell.

After Diana finished speaking, Russell frowned slightly.

Her way of time travel is a bit old-fashioned!

Seeing Russell frown, a trace of worry appeared on Diana's face.

Although Russell is a person with super powers, in her opinion, the fact that she comes from another world is still a bit too bizarre for Russell.

She didn't know how Russell would view this matter, and was even a little worried that Russell would choose to alienate herself because of this matter.

Although Diana looks calm and acts like a heroine, in the final analysis, she is still a woman and has some fragile psychology that women share.

Just when she looked at Russell with a worried expression, Russell's frown relaxed and he said slowly: "Well...actually, I am just like you, I am not from this world."

Diana did not hide the fact that she came from the DC world, and Russell simply revealed the fact that he was a time traveler.

Trust is all mutual!

Since Diana chose to trust him, of course he had to reciprocate the favor.

More than two years of living together were enough for him to know what kind of person Diana was.

"Are you from another world too?" Diana asked in disbelief.

"Yes! But the way I came to this world is so different from you. I wasn't struck by lightning. I took a nap and woke up here."

Russell said quickly.

This time, it was Diana's turn to frown.

"We have to talk about everything we talked about before, everything!"

This morning, neither Russell nor Diana went to work, and started the confession game in the apartment.

Russell confessed most everything.

In addition to the existence of the system and comics and DC, on his earth, there are only two things: animation and movies.

Compared with him, Diana is much more honest.

Diana came clean about everything, including her ex-boyfriend Steve Trevor.

It's a strange feeling to listen to your live-in girlfriend talk about her dead ex-boyfriend.

After the confession game ended, Russell and Diana, who were both human beings at the end of the world, had an in-depth exchange of views on the origin of life and the meaning of life.

noon.

After having lunch in the apartment, they left the apartment and drove to work.

The place where Diana was going was, of course, the American Museum of Natural History located on Central Park West in New York.

The place Russell is going to is the Octopus Detective Agency in Hell's Kitchen.

The American Museum of Natural History and Hell's Kitchen are both in Manhattan, and they are not far apart, less than 3 kilometers away.

Russell opened his office in Hell's Kitchen because it was close to the museum where Diana worked, making it easier for him to go there and meet Diana for lunch at noon.

On the other hand, it's because Hell's Kitchen is a famous novice village for time-travelers in the comic world.

Although later time-travelers increasingly disliked the novice village of Hell's Kitchen, Russell still chose it as the starting point of his career.

Of course, he would choose this place as the starting point of his career, which is inseparable from the good public security environment of Hell's Kitchen.

As a detective on the surface, but secretly a member of the underground world with several different identities, the mixed-race Hell's Kitchen is more suitable for him to use his professional expertise.

Octopus Private Detective Agency.

After arriving at the office, which had not been open for several days, Russell first opened the window to ventilate the office, then picked up the various commission letters stuffed at the door and read them one by one.

Although he has not been a private detective as long as he has been a killer, he has still made a good reputation in the detective industry.

Speaking of this, I have to thank the Japanese primary school student who carries the aura of death and murders occur wherever he goes.

Before time travel, the knowledge I learned from this Japanese primary school student was all useless knowledge that I didn't use at ordinary times.

But after traveling to this world, this useless knowledge became one of his skills in eating.

Because he had established a fairly good reputation in the detective profession, he also established a good cooperative relationship with the New York Police Department and became a consultant to the New York Police Department.
