Chapter 20

When Mia got up another morning, she found that she had become a scientist, and she was also a scientist doing experiments in the cloakroom.

She stood at the door of the cloakroom in confusion, looking at the completely changed decoration inside. The chemical reagents that she could only see on TV were placed haphazardly on the table that suddenly appeared, where they should have been. The place where the mirror was placed has now become a huge computer screen.

It automatically turned on when she walked into the cloakroom, and welcomed her back with an electronic sound, telling her that what she had asked it to do before had been completed.

"What's the matter?" Mia asked subconsciously. She curiously observed the bubbling reagents and the gun next to it.

To be honest, she wasn't really sure whether it was really a gun. After all, it looked very different from what she remembered, and it was also much smaller. But given that it had a muzzle, a trigger, and a magazine, ——Even though it was just a glass bottle filled with unknown green liquid, she still temporarily called it a gun.

"It was you who asked me to find a way to cover up the news about you in Gotham some time ago." The computer replied. It listed what it had done one by one, and while describing it, it also thoughtfully explained it with various data and examples. Why does it do this.

Others would definitely shout "professional" at this time, but as Mia, who only had a primary school education, she didn't understand what it was saying at all, so she just interrupted it decisively and raised the Take the gun and ask it what it is for.

"That's a teleportation gun, which can be used to teleport to another place." The computer replied concisely.

"What about my clothes?" Mia asked again. She didn't see her clothes when she first came in. Instead, there was a box of Sichuan Xiangjiang that didn't know why it appeared here.

"They are in the closet and I can bring them out immediately if you need them," the computer said. After getting Mia's affirmative answer, it didn't know what it did. The reagent that was still bubbling suddenly disappeared, and the missing clothes appeared from behind the wall with a "swish" sound.

Everything returned to its original state in an instant. If she hadn't still held the teleportation gun in her hand, she would probably have thought that it was all a dream.

"Wow, cool, what have you done?!" Mia asked with wide eyes. She turned to look at where the computer screen was. It had turned back into a mirror, but the electronic sound was still ringing in the cloakroom. .

It explained to her in words she didn't understand because she had been in Wayne Manor for too short a time and had not had time to renovate the cloakroom, so she could only simply use virtual projection technology to cover the table and experimental supplies, and in order to avoid occupying the experiment She also opened a door in the closet that connected to another space (given that her technology was not yet mature, she could only connect to a small space), and put her clothes and other miscellaneous items Put things inside.

"Wait, you mean there is a four-dimensional space in my closet?" Mia asked in surprise. Everything that had happened so far seemed like a science fiction movie to her.

"No, that is not a four-dimensional space," the computer replied, "Also, according to the instructions you gave me some time ago, it is now time for you to have breakfast." "Ah, by the way,

I almost forgot about this. Thing, I'm here to get some clothes!" Mia shouted after hearing the computer's words. She urgently picked a set of clothes from the closet and put them on, then ran downstairs immediately after washing up and putting the teleporter gun in her pocket.

This morning there were still only her and Ah Fu in the restaurant. He placed her breakfast in front of her and asked her how she slept last night.

"Very good." Mia replied, slowly eating the beans and broccoli on her plate while thinking about what had just happened in the cloakroom.

"Oh?" Ah Fu raised his eyebrows when he saw her, "I thought you had insomnia last night? After all, you don't seem to be in good spirits today." "

No, I didn't." Mia heard him Shaking her head, she wanted to tell him that she had a good sleep last night and the bed in the manor was very comfortable, but in the middle of the sentence, she suddenly

realized really saying that she was mentally ill. He was just talking about what she had just been distracted by.

This made Mia feel a little guilty, but she had always felt guilty when facing him after being caught by Ah Fu last time, so she just tried hard to bring her thoughts back to this breakfast. But found that he couldn't do it.

After all, as a lover of science fiction, what happened this morning was so novel to her that she just wanted to go back to the laboratory, not to mention she didn't like eating broccoli and beans.

So when the doorbell rang, Mia almost immediately looked away from the plate in front of her. She jumped off the chair and ran to the door despite Alfred's disapproving look. She found that the person who rang the doorbell was a man wearing a yellow T-shirt. boy. He looked very nervous, and his eyes kept glancing to the side for no apparent reason.

"Hello, who are you looking for?" Mia asked pressing the button under the doorbell.

The boy on the screen was startled when he heard the sudden sound. He immediately looked away and looked at the intercom next to the door, "Um - you... hello, I'm here to see Mia, Mia Wei Yeah." He whispered.

"Why are you looking for her?" Mia asked again.

"We are friends." The boy said, and this time he seemed to be more relaxed. "We made an appointment to do homework together before."

"Friends?" Mia repeated the word in a puzzled tone. She didn't doubt this, sometimes she would always have some friends she didn't know, like Dora, and then the next day they would all disappear.

So she just opened the door without any suspicion, and then shouted to Ah Fu as if she was finally relieved that she had a friend coming, and she had to entertain her friends first, and skipped the rest of breakfast.

Alfred sighed after hearing her words. He did not stop Mia's behavior. After all, the Wayne family almost never had a complete meal in peace. They were always eating. Halfway through, he hurriedly put down the food and went to where they were needed, just like now, he watched her eagerly run outside.

At this time, the boy in yellow clothes was looking around in surprise, "Oh, God, are you sure she really won't recognize me, Rick?" he asked softly.

This morning when they were about to watch TV together, Rick suddenly went to the garage. Not long after, he ran out of it with a serious face and pulled him in, telling him that a thief had stolen his things and that he had to go now. Help him find it.

"What?" Morty asked, but before he could get the answer, Rick put on the communicator and pushed into the portal, appearing at the door of a manor.

It was a very gorgeous manor, with its large area and magnificent house showing the wealth of the owner of the house.

"There's no time, Morty, I need you to press the doorbell next to the door." Rick's voice came from the earphones, his tone was urgent. If he had asked him to explain what was going on then they would have missed the beginning of the show. That was the only reason why he didn't get himself drunk this morning and instead put up with the idiot sitting on the couch.

"But I don't know anyone in this house." Morty said hesitantly.

"Oh, come on, Morty, press down and tell them you need to find Mia, Mia Wayne," Rick said impatiently.

He recalled that he had just used his computer to analyze who broke into his garage and stole his things. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a human girl he met on another planet a few weeks ago.

Generally speaking, Rick has no discrimination against children, or rather he treats all creatures except him equally. After all, as an arrogant, self-centered and highly intelligent genius scientist, those people in his eyes Come as stupid as the ants on the roadside.

But since meeting a human girl sitting alone in a bar drinking milk on an alien planet is as rare as Morty passing his math test, he still looked at her a few times, then held his own empty The wine bottle was walking in front of the bar. The bartender skillfully took the wine bottle from him after seeing him and handed him a glass of his usual drink.

"Hey, hello, Rick.

" The human girl greeted him after seeing him coming.

"You know me?" Rick said. He sat on a chair and waited for his flagon to be filled.

"Of course, how could anyone in this world not recognize Rick Sanchez? You are the smartest person in the universe and my idol!" The girl continued, putting down the cup in her hand and looking at him His expression revealed admiration.

Normally, Rick would definitely ignore this child. There are too many people who admire him and hate him in the entire universe. He has no energy at all and is too lazy to deal with them.

It's just that today his grandson and partner, Morty, did not experience this adventure with him. He is now staying in that school full of idiots, studying unnecessary things for an exam, and now There was still some time before his bottle was filled. The bartender always liked to take advantage of this time to catch fish, so he didn't mind chatting with the kid.

From their conversation, he learned that the child's name was Mia. Recently, because she suddenly learned that her father was still alive, she felt very complicated and wanted to visit an alien planet, and her memory function There is still something wrong and I don't know how to confess it to her family.

"Hiccup--" Rick burped. He sat in the garage with a bottle of wine and watched the scene from Morty's side, shouting, "Believe me, Morty, Mia's brain is There is a problem. She has to rely on her crappy computer every morning to remember what happened. But when we were drinking together before, I made a bet with her and asked her to turn off that reminder. Also, don't keep doing it. Look at those fountains and act natural."

"But..." Morty opened his mouth when he heard Rick's words. He wanted to say something, but he closed his mouth again before he could speak. He saw Mia Already ran in front of him.

There was some doubt in her expression, but more of it was closeness and happiness. "I'm so glad you came to see me. I remember the last time we met was..." Mia said to him with a smile. Look like you are thinking when you say that sentence.

This is her usual move. After all, although most of the time she will have a diary or something to tell her the current situation, there will always be a few days when she has no clues, and if she appears again at this time, When it comes to making new friends, she can only carefully talk to them first.

"Yes...a few weeks ago," Morty replied. He looked at Mia guiltily, and was relieved after seeing that there was no doubt or vigilance in her expression. Just like Rick said, as long as he said he was her friend, then she would completely believe him.

"Ah, yes, it was just a few weeks ago. It was a really good day." Mia looked like she suddenly understood after hearing his answer. She leads him back to the house.

Morty followed her. He made up a story about their friendship to Mia according to what Rick told him, and he also made patches according to her questions. After all, Rick would not help him think of everything. He would just yell, "Morty, can't you use your head and think about your life in school?" "

Oh, I remember, that party was awesome!" Mia seemed to suddenly remember something. Shouting, they went to her room together.

Although Afu said that they could play in the reception room or living room, Mia's usual practice was to stay in her room with her friends, not to mention that Morty seemed a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, we drank orange juice together and watched Interstellar. You and Sangmei discussed the protagonist in it, named..." "

Cooper! To be honest, I like that movie." Mia said. She felt like she was starting to like Morty a little bit.

"Oh, stop talking, Morty, find a way to send Mia out quickly, don't forget our business!" Just when Morty and Mia were chatting happily, Rick's voice came from the earphones again. , his tone was serious.

"Hey, wait, I mean, can you get me a glass of water? I feel a little thirsty." Morty said suddenly, his tone still filled with guilt.

"Of course!" Mia nodded. She stopped taking her homework and left the room, leaving Morty alone, which made him sigh in relief.

He opened the cloakroom door as Rick said, and after finding the location of the computer, he plugged in what Rick had given him before, "I really don't think she would steal your stuff, she doesn't look like that. The guy, Rick." He said hesitantly. During the interaction just now, he never thought that Mia would be a thief.

What's more, according to Rick's character, if someone really steals his things, rather than asking him to find it, he would rather rush over with a weapon, then put the gun to the other person's head and let him do it. Regret what you have done.

In fact, Rick did plan to do this, but since he had asked her to turn off the computer's backup and check reminder before, he was not sure whether she still remembered him, and compared with this, it was obviously a mistake to find the location directly from her computer. More time-saving, he didn't have to break into Batman's manor (he knew Bruce Wayne was Batman) to face those troublesome weapons.

"Come on, Morty, you said that alien was a good person last time." Rick said. He urgently hacked into the computer to view the data on it. "Fuck, damn, she forgot to back up the location of that thing to the computer. It's in."

"That's just their tradition." Morty retorted in a low voice. Last time he was brought back home by a female alien after he was lost with Rick. She and her family prepared food and hot water for him, but it turned out that they just wanted to make him a holiday meal.

And Rick didn't care about this at all. He asked him to find a way to take Mia out. "I have to find a way to remind her of those things and tell me where she put my things!" he heard him say.

So when Mia came back with water, she saw Morty with a hesitant face. He said that he suddenly wanted to go for a walk in the garden. Of course, it didn't matter if she refused. "After all, you know our homework hasn't been done yet, right, haha." Morty said guiltily.

"No, I mean why not. Anyway, it's still a long time before the summer vacation ends." Mia shrugged after hearing his words. She handed the water glass to Morty and looked at him with worry in her eyes. and doubt.

After all, he looked exactly the same as when she faced her mother and Aunt Chloe before she was about to do something bad, but given that they got along very well just now, and he only invited her to go for a walk in the garden, she didn't feel that she They would encounter danger in the manor, so they went to the garden together.

It was no different from where she had been before. Beautiful flowers were blooming on the branches, birds were singing in the trees, and the man with blue hair in a white coat was standing drunkenly under the tree. When he saw them, or to be more precise, when he saw her, there was anger on his expression.

This moment made Mia alert. She didn't remember Ah Fu saying that someone would come to visit today.

She greeted him cautiously, pulling Morty slowly back. The atmosphere now permeating the air caused her "danger alarm" to go off wildly. It usually only went off when she did something wrong and her mother or Aunt Chloe happened to catch it.

Rick ignored her words. He asked Morty to stop her, and at the same time took out a gun of unknown purpose from his pocket.

Morty hesitated after hearing what he said. He wanted to say something. For example, he felt that Mia was not the kind of person he said. There might be some misunderstanding between them, but Mia didn't know this. She just used He looked at Morty with a look that felt betrayed, then let go of his hand and ran quickly into the house. When encountering danger, everyone's first reaction is to return to a place they think is safe.

But halfway through the run, she suddenly thought that she couldn't bring danger to Ah Fu and the others, so she took out the teleportation gun from her pocket - thankfully she thought it was interesting and the size was right, so she took it. Stuffed it into his pocket - casually fired a shot on the ground, and then quickly jumped into the green portal.

The surrounding scene changed in an instant, and the chirping of the birds disappeared from her ears, replaced by a mixture of various sounds. She was teleported to a street.

The surrounding pedestrians did not react when they saw the child who suddenly fell from the air. They walked past her as if they had not seen anything. Only a few people looked at her with fear in their eyes and looked at her. When he looks at her, he will immediately look away

.

This made Mia feel a little confused. She looked around confusedly. This place looked a bit like the square she had been to a few days ago, but it was slightly different from what she remembered.

The shops that used to be crowded with people now have no people at all, and the pop music playing in the shops has changed into unknown songs. There was a feeling of oppression and fear in the whole street.

What are they afraid of? Mia thought.

She wanted to go find someone to ask, but before she could get close, they hurried away as if they had seen a ghost.

This confused Mia even more. She looked around blankly, and suddenly Superman stopped in front of him. He was wearing a completely different uniform than usual. The expression he looked at her revealed vigilance, seriousness, and a trace of insolence. Perceived guilt.

He asked her who she was.

On the other side, when Rick saw Mia jump, he immediately took out the teleporter gun from his pocket and chased after her. At the same time, he shouted to Morty, "Fuck you, you saw it now, Morty." , that bitch also stole my teleporter gun!"

"No, Rick, I still don't think she is that kind of person." Morty followed, and they went to the world where Mia landed, "And I I still don't understand, what did she steal from you?" he asked.

"Kuanxiang-chan." Rick replied with a burp.

"What?! Sichuan Sauce, you dragged me here just for Sichuan Sauce!" Morty shouted.

"That's not an ordinary Sichuan sauce, Morty, that's a discontinued Sichuan sauce," Rick replied. He walked out of the alley, but stopped when he saw Superman parked in front of Mia. Stopping, "Damn, we're a step too late. Well, I have to think of other ways to catch her. Now you're satisfied, Morty!" "No

, I just want to know what happened, not You pulled me away from the TV without knowing anything to be friends with a girl I've never met, and no, my God, my homework is still in her room!" Morty continued.

But Rick didn't care about this. He walked into the alley unhappily, "Forget the homework, Morty, now we have to go find Batman."
