Postscript: Ding, Mr. Master, you have a new order. Chapter 4 asks, What walks into an alley with six legs and comes out with eight legs?
"Quinn! Don't sleep anymore. It's time to go out for a walk. If you sleep any longer, you'll turn into a pig."
Harley's screams echoed in the top-floor corridor of the Afterlife Bar. Along with a hurried figure, the door of the room specially converted into a pregnant woman's room was kicked open.
The little cutie dressed in the classic Harley Quinn costume ran over full of energy, followed by two colorfully dressed Amazon war hounds.
However, Luther and Luke's stomachs were a little bloated, and their movements were no longer as agile and fierce as before.
Needless to say, these two dogs must have babies.
They are hunting dogs from the Amazon tribe and Paradise Island is a famous women's island. There are no men on the island, so naturally even the dogs are female.
As for who made these two fierce hounds become mother dogs, there is no need to ask...
Ah, that damn golden retriever that Wick left behind was really resourceful and really deserved to die.
"Can't you just slow down?"
Quinn, who was lying on the bed picking out baby clothes, was startled. She glared at Harley, causing the latter to grin with an embarrassed smile. She then shamelessly moved closer to Quinn, put her ear to Quinn's slightly bulging belly and listened, then blinked and said to Quinn:
"She's calling me mommy!"
"Did you miss your medicine again?"
Quinn rolled her eyes and said:
"It's only been four months. What can you hear?"
"But I really heard it. Perhaps this is the call of my sweetheart's blood to my lovely mother. Well, she is so well behaved. She will definitely be a great little princess who inherits my beauty and my sweetheart's wisdom in the future!"
Harley put her hands on her hips and waved triumphantly, but the next second Quinn bent her finger and hit her on the forehead. She protected her stomach and said unhappily:
"This is my child. Why should he inherit your beauty?"
"But you are my dark side."
Harry opened his eyes wide and pretended to be pitiful and said:
"Aren't we one? So you don't want me anymore now that you have a baby, right? You and sweetheart are both bad guys. You said you would be back soon, but you left us here for more than four months without paying any attention to us.
Humph, I have made up my mind!
If he doesn't come back before I go to bed tomorrow, I'm going to divorce him! This is already a de facto separation."
"You said the same thing yesterday, and you said the same thing last week, and you said the same thing when you came back from a stroll half a month ago."
Quinn sighed helplessly, touched the black kawaii dog head ring on her finger, and said:
"Can't you be serious for once? Look, sweetheart and I already have a child, why are you still ahead of us, Harley, you are a girl with dignity..."
"Go away, stop thinking crooked ideas."
Harley snorted, pulled up Quinn, who was a little inconvenient to move, and quickly helped her change her clothes, saying:
"Barbara just sent a message saying that Selina is angry and the master can't appease her no matter what he does, so she asked us to go to Wayne Manor with her and stay for a few days. Maybe it will help Catwoman calm down.
That old wild cat has gone mad again, and now we have to take action. You and Selina are both pregnant, so perhaps you can understand where her anger comes from."
"Perhaps it's because I truly feel that I'm getting further and further away from my past life?"
Quinn sighed and let Harley help her change her clothes. She glanced at the two equally "round" hounds lying beside her, and she felt a little depressed.
Looking at the sunset outside the window in the evening, I said:
"I sometimes have some turbulent emotions, and feel sad and angry for no reason, but I still have you by my side, and Ciri will come over to accompany me occasionally."
"You missed him, didn't you?"
Harry pouted and said:
"I feel like my status at home has dropped again. In your heart, sweetheart is number one, I'm number two, and the dog is number three. Now I'm ranked behind your toaster, and my status is probably only slightly higher than the dining table.
Tsk, I will definitely teach you a lesson when I get pregnant!
You just wait."
"It's okay if you want to experience it."
Quinn snorted, grabbed the Yin Yang Tiger amulet around her neck, and said to Harley:
"Close it, and you'll feel...ah."
Before she could finish her words, her stomach ached and Quinn shrank back. This reaction scared Harley, and she immediately contacted the family number to send a therapist to protect the pregnancy.
But the situation was not actually serious, and Quinn recovered in the next second.
She touched her belly and whispered to Harley:
“Here we go again, I really feel that this baby is a little strange now, do you know what I mean?
Every time I do something that might hurt me she would remind me like this, for example, yesterday when I was out walking and saw someone stealing something I was planning to step forward to help, and this happened.
She seems to be able to sense danger and stop me from doing or even saying anything dangerous..."
"Hey, the more you talk, the weirder it gets. It's only been four months. How can this be possible?"
Harley was a little nervous. She looked around suspiciously, then helped Quinn out of the room and got into the special car parked at the door of the bar like the twin sisters.
The black sedan transformed from the Mobius chair did not look surprising in appearance, but the interior decoration and configuration were all first-class safety. After the two got in the car, the steering wheel automatically turned and took them to Wayne Manor.
The two little cuties were still talking about this topic along the way.
Quinn took out a small notebook and said to Harley:
"Look, this is the pregnancy date I calculated. The next page shows some things I collected that happened close to this date. I now feel that this child may not be conceived naturally as we thought.
Maybe there is something else we haven’t discovered or noticed.”
"let me see."
Harry took the book and flipped through a few pages. She read:
"So the specific time is between the end of the Fourth Impact and our arrival at Hope? Wow, you are such a lucky little cat. I had more times during that period... Eh? Why do you also record the deaths of the three mentors? Ciri has been resurrected, and old man Shazam has died. You don't suspect that your child is Liana, do you?
How is this possible?
Her resurrection is tied to the concept of hell. If she really wants to be resurrected, she should be resurrected in hell."
"That's what I said."
Quinn rubbed his brows and said:
“But you overlooked one thing.
Not long after her death, the hell plane controlled by Mephisto was destroyed by Galactus. Moreover, she and Sweetie came from the same world, and Mephisto's hell was also created based on the hell of that world.
She is the lord of the border of hell and it is difficult for her not to be affected by such things. I discussed this matter specifically with Zuckerberg a few days ago, and she told me that this is a low-probability event.
But a small probability does not mean zero probability.
The alchemist also said that if the binding of the resurrection potion suddenly disappeared, then it would take effect according to the original design, and the original design of the resurrection potion was to revive randomly.
Ciri was able to reappear as an 18-year-old because Sweetie made special adjustments. At that time, time was tight and there was no time to make adjustments for Liana, so..."
She rubbed her belly and whispered:
"Although there is no evidence, I am more inclined to believe that this child is really..."
"Wow! Don't overthink it!"
Seeing Quinn clearly depressed, Harley quickly threw away the small notebook in her hand, hugged her dark side and whispered to comfort her:
"Even if it's really her, she's the fruit of your love with my sweetheart. Think about it in a positive way. It's not a bad thing to have a little acquaintance. At least it won't be awkward when you meet for the first time."
"Hey, do you know how to comfort people? What you said makes me want to beat you up!"
Quinn pushed Harley away with disgust, then turned her head angrily to look at the street view outside the window. The sudden change of mood made Harley complain that pregnant women were really difficult to serve.
But while she was thinking hard about a joke that could make Quinn laugh, Quinn suddenly said:
"Mobius, please pull over."
"Um?"
Harley looked in Quinn's direction in surprise and found that the car had just driven to the edge of Crime Alley. The smart vehicle stopped quietly, the door opened, and two dogs jumped out first, followed by Quinn and Harley.
The two people and the two dogs looked at the dark alley in front of them, and Harley whispered:
"Do you want to go in and take a look? Sweetheart comes here occasionally to reminisce about the past. Maybe he will come back just when we go in."
"How can it be such a coincidence?"
Quinn snorted, but still walked into the dark alley with the two dogs under the support of Harley. She said:
"It is said that Bruce Wayne lost his parents here. Three people walked in and only one walked out..."
"Hey, hey, hey! It seems unlucky for a pregnant woman like you to say these things, right?"
Harley quickly covered Quinn's mouth and warned:
"You are planting a flag, do you know that? This kind of thing is very weird. What if, I mean, what if the tragedy of the Bat Family also happens to the Mason Family?
What if a robber jumps out, shoots us, and then takes your child away...hiss, it sounds so scary to think about it, let's go quickly.
I won’t come to this damn place again next time.”
"Well, it's a bit scary when you say that."
Quinn also shook her body. The two girls turned around and were about to leave. Then, under Harley's speechless gaze, a dark figure holding a pistol rushed out from the side road in panic, holding the bag he had just snatched in his hand.
When the three of them saw each other, they were stunned.
But Harley reacted very quickly, pulling out a baseball bat and standing in front of Quinn, and two chubby dogs also pounced on her with bared teeth.
The robber was obviously frightened and shot Quinn in panic.
But it's no use at all.
The symbiote in Quinn's body was already gathering, and the bullet was meaningless, but when the bullet approached Quinn, a ball of blazing fire suddenly appeared and flashed away.
Then with a ding, the melted bullet turned into twisted metal and hit the ground. At the same time, the unlucky robber was stabbed in the heart from behind by a sword that suddenly appeared just before Harry with red eyes chopped him off.
The flying silver hair reflected a crack, and Ciri, expressionless, drew out her sword and shook off the blood.
At her feet was a big golden retriever that looked kind and gentle. The next second, the bastard dog was knocked down and torn apart by two war hounds, with its hair flying everywhere and it howled loudly.
But it's what it deserves.
You bastard dog, just run away after you have fun, right?
"Why did you come to this damn place for no reason?"
Ciri scolded unhappily:
"I'm busy too, okay? I end up being your babysitter. It's hard to cross dimensions now, so take care of yourself, okay... hm?
What's that sulfur smell?
Someone summoned a demon here?"
"Hey, I almost beat him down without your help at all."
Harley roared in dissatisfaction, and the rivals were extremely jealous of each other when they met, but Quinn didn't say anything. She just squatted down with her eyes wide open and looked at the melting bullet on the ground.
Although the fire only appeared for less than a moment, she could confirm that the fire was protecting her, and its source... The expectant mother touched her belly, where there was an increasingly clear little life moving.
"No way?"
Quinn covered her eyes in despair.
She felt that her worst guess seemed to have come true. Was she really going to give birth to a lord of hell in the future?
If this happened to someone else, Quinn would definitely exclaim, "Wow! How cool!"
But it happened to her, and the next moment she was overwhelmed with grief , and couldn't stop the tears from falling. This scared Harry and Ciri who were arguing, and they hurried forward to comfort her.
"Hey, what are you doing? A family came to Crime Alley for team building , and they even deliberately imitated the tragedy of the Bat Family, right? It seems that you guys had a lot of fun while I was away?"
A familiar voice sounded from the shadows not far away. Harley, who was comforting Quinn, scolded unhappily:
"That's enough, sweetheart! Don't you see she's crying like this? And you're still making sarcastic remarks. I'm really going to... eh? eh eh eh?"
The crazy beauty who was slow to react was still making strange noises, but the expectant mother and the hunter who were quick to react had already rushed out. When the captain who had just returned from a long journey walked out of the shadows, they threw themselves into his arms, one on the left and one on the right.
"Wow, our child...is Liana! That stupid hell lord was reincarnated in my belly. I'm sure it's her."
Quinn told Mason about all the grievances she had suffered during this period, and Mason frowned as he listened.
How did this happen?
Liana is worthy of being a native of hell. She is really good at choosing the technical skills for reincarnation.
Ciri next to her sighed. In fact, when she smelled the faint but familiar smell of sulfur just now, she guessed the truth.
"Wow! Sweetie! You're finally back!"
Harley screamed and rushed over, but this time she didn't rush into Mason's arms like before, but skipped forward and gave him a passionate kiss.
They hugged each other, enjoying the beauty and tranquility of their reunion amid the screams and biting of three dogs and the constant honking of the horn of Mobius at the entrance of the alley.
"Why did you go for four months?"
After the kiss, Harley pushed Mason away, put her hands on her hips and yelled unhappily:
"You've left us here for four months, we've had enough! We want to divorce you! You bastard husband who doesn't take care of your wife!"
"Well, that's a shame, I even prepared gifts for my wives."
Mason sighed and said:
"Now that my wives have abandoned me, I have nowhere to give the gift. I might as well just throw it away in a trash can. Or maybe give it to Selina? She will definitely like it, right?"
"I'm asking you a question."
Ciri pinched Mason in displeasure.
Mason shrugged at his female superior's question. The captain helped his pregnant wife up and walked towards the alley with his lover on his left and right. He said softly:
" I've taken on a big job and have been busy with it recently. Plus, it will take time for the dimension of our new universe to stabilize. As soon as its main framework stabilized, I couldn't wait to run back. I'll tell you the details later...
Huh ?
Why are you here too? "
The captain unexpectedly saw the Mason family members standing in a neat row at the entrance of the alley. The Masons, who looked exactly like him but dressed differently, stared at him. The engineer shook the oil off his hands and said:
"Of course, we are here to welcome the return of His Excellency the Patriarch."
“You came just in time!”
Mason grinned and said:
"I just got a job and I'm in need of manpower. I'll rest here for a few days, then come with me on the family ship. The Mason Manufacturing Group is about to face new challenges, brothers.
I promise that this time all your skills and wisdom will be put to good use."
"That's fine. It's just work."
The alchemist took off his hat and asked in the light of the setting sun:
"But what about the price? You have to negotiate this before hiring someone to do the work, right?"
"ha?"
Mason's eyes widened as he said:
"I've given you a job, and you're asking me for money? You have no conscience!"
"So you want to take advantage of our labor force for free again?"
The forger asked in a bad tone, and then someone in the crowd shouted:
"Beat him! Damn capitalist Mason!"
"Hey! Listen to my explanation! Ah, be gentle, you bastards... How can you become a world builder if you are beaten black and blue?"
Mason, who was fighting with the other brothers, screamed:
"We are now the true 'God of Creation', can't we please behave ourselves? Those bastards are watching us, they will laugh at us, and you too, the jeweler!
You are smiling so happily, right?
I haven't settled the score with you yet! For the next hundred years, don't even think about getting paid."
Amid the screams, the sunset in Gotham City looked particularly beautiful. Under the blood-red glow, the whole city seemed ready to enter the night carnival, just like what Mason saw when he first opened his eyes in this city.
The chaotic sound of gunfire has already sounded, just like the stage is being set up and the curtain is drawn, waiting for the actors to take their positions and the show to begin.
Well, today is another energetic night for Gotham.
