Capítulo 12: Chapter 10
"That is to say, is there a possibility that the bridge is actually in front of us, Dora?" After hesitating for a while, Mia pointed to the bridge in front of them and said.
She looked at her carefully, although she didn't know what was wrong with her little friend's eyes. After all, she seemed to be fine. Before they reached the bridge, she had to sing a song with Boots except when getting the map. There's nothing weird about it except for "A Map Song" (which she named herself because the song's lyrics are all about maps).
But if you think about it carefully, there are so many strange things happening in this world, and she is one of them, so maybe Dora can't see the bridge for some reason.
"Yes, it's right there!" Boots pointed at the bridge and shouted happily after hearing Mia's words, or the transparent man's words. Don't ask why a monkey can talk, just ask it that way.
"Great!" Dora shouted equally happily, and they, to be precise, Dora and Boots sang the Bridge Song (this is also the name Mia gave it) and walked towards the bridge.
The birds sang along after hearing the song. They stopped on the wires on the roadside, and their clear and melodious singing sounded in Mia's ears, making her feel as if she had returned to yesterday. But yesterday she heard the lyrics, and today all she heard were the chirping birds.
And small animals such as snails, crickets, and frogs also joined in the chorus. They appeared out of nowhere and sang the bridge song happily, and after singing two lines, they returned to the grass where they didn't know when.
Mia: Huh? ? ?
She looked at everything around her in confusion. In her imagination, their adventures should be accompanied by all kinds of dangers, excitement, and heart-racing things. Just like in the movies.
Instead of... Mia wasn't sure if she should describe this adventure that way, but it looked just like her previous spring outings.
"Hey, won't you sing with us? Mia." Boots suddenly asked just as she was struggling with this. It flipped and landed in front of Mia, and its innocent and friendly eyes made her feel a little ashamed for some reason.
"I can't sing this song." Mia replied, shaking her head.
"Oh, that's such a shame!" cried Boots. It looked at her with a regretful expression. It originally wanted to continue saying something, but before it could think about it, something else attracted its attention.
It's that bridge. They have reached the front of the bridge.
A steady stream of vehicles whizzed past them. The birds stopped singing and landed on the bridge. They tilted their heads and looked at the traffic below. Dora also stopped and looked at the bridge. "Oh, no, this bridge is full of cars! What should we do?" How can I walk to the other side of the bridge?" she asked suddenly.
Boots asked as well. It returned to Dora, and the familiar question rang in Mia's ears again, "Can you tell us how we should cross this bridge?"
Mia: ...
she looked at them and opened her mouth, After hesitating for a while, he swallowed the sentence "We can walk over from the sidewalk next to it." After all, my mother said that everyone has their own habits, and she should not interrupt their behaviors, even if they are talking to transparent people.
Dora had no idea what Mia was thinking. She just raised her hands and cheered after getting the answer, and Boots also raised his hands.
This made Mia hesitate to do the same, but before she could think about it, Dora waved to her, "Let's go, Mia." "
Oh, okay!" Mia responded.
She grabbed her backpack and trotted all the way to Dora's side. At the same time, she told herself in her heart that there were so many strange things in the world, so it was not a big deal for Dora to have a transparent friend besides her eye problems. This was normal. Things... no, this isn't normal, at least not that normal. Mia thought. She couldn't go on like this, she had to know the truth. Her curiosity was so intense that she could no longer focus on this adventure.
So after organizing her words in her mind, Mia asked what was going on with Dora's transparent friend. There were also
those animals that appeared out of nowhere and she never saw them again just after that.
"Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you to you yet," Dora said after hearing Mia's words. She stopped and introduced her, "This is my friend. He was always there when Boots and I were adventuring. They are all with us. Every time we encounter a problem, he helps us solve it."
Mia looked at the air next to her and recalled what just happened: I can see it.
"This is Mia, my friend," Dora continued to introduce her transparent friend, and she briefly told him about their adventure in the rainforest a few years ago.
Mia had only seen those things in the diary. Although she changes into another profession every morning, it does not mean that she will remember to inherit those memories. In fact, most of the time she can only know what profession she is today from the diary that randomly appears in the morning. In the past What happened in those days.
"That was a really great adventure!" Boots concluded at the end.
Together they walk across the bridge and then to the second location on the map, the forest.
They stood in front of the entrance, and Mia looked at the forest with some surprise. It was completely different from what she thought.
She thought that in the city - although this was not a city, it was on the edge of the city, which was almost the same - there would not be such a "natural" forest.
Yes, naturally. It was not like the forest parks she had gone to in the past. Although people tried to make it appear more natural, the distance between the trees, the neat flowers and grass, and the ubiquitous trash cans, benches, signs and other buildings All show traces of human beings.
It looks more like a real forest that has slowly come back to life because no one has set foot in it for too long.
Vines hung from the branches, plant roots wrapped around the bench, and the chirping of birds and insects sounded in her ears, making everything look so bookish... Well, maybe this description is a bit strange, but Mia I really felt a kind of silence from it. After all, due to the rapid development of urbanization, she could only hear the chirping of insects in the dead of night.
"This is the mandilla," said Dora suddenly. She frowned and looked at the plant. As a plant expert, she certainly couldn't admit it, and it was precisely because of this that she felt confused.
Nail orchids are a branch of the genus Nail Orchid. Due to their growth methods, they have high requirements for air humidity and temperature, and Gotham's climate and temperature are obviously not suitable for their growth.
"What?" Mia asked. She didn't quite understand what Dora meant. In fact, she didn't even understand what about flowers and nails. How could a flower have nails?
"It's Nail Orchid." Dora repeated what she just said in a good-natured manner. She told Mia about the habits of this plant while looking at other plants around her. Most of those plants would not appear or even grow in Gotham.
"That means we are in trouble now?!" Mia asked excitedly. Although she knew that this was not good and that trouble meant danger, it still gave her an adventurous atmosphere.
"Yes." Dora nodded, and she began to ask her transparent friend what they should do.
"Are we going through this forest?" Dora asked, apparently her friend told her they were going to keep going.
"Oh, we have to keep moving forward!" Boots shouted happily. It jumped forward and climbed up the tree to pick a few bananas for them. But just when it was about to jump down, it was suddenly tied up by vines.
It hung it in the air, and Poison Ivy's voice sounded. She walked out of the forest and frowned when she saw just two children and a monkey.
"Poison Ivy!" Mia exclaimed. She looked at her with wide eyes, this was the first time she had seen a living villain.
She wanted to take Dora's hand and run away to find rescue. In any case, they were still just children, and it was impossible to rescue Boots from Poison Ivy. Even whether they could successfully escape was uncertain.
You must know that Poison Ivy is not a
good person who will let them go just because they are children, and respects the old and loves the young.
At the same time, she put her other hand into her pocket and frantically pressed the pager that Bruce had given her before going out. He told her to press it if she was in any danger and someone would come to save them immediately.
But she didn't expect that Dora not only didn't think about running away, but continued to stand there and asked her transparent friend, "Boots has been captured by Poison Ivy, can you tell us what to do?
" Ya:...
Poison Ivy:? ? ?
And Bruce said that the rescue would come so quickly. Almost a few minutes after she pressed the button, Batman appeared, standing in front of them in that cool uniform.
This made Mia's eyes light up. As a child who grew up listening to superhero stories, she had a natural admiration for those superheroes.
She stood behind and waved her hands to cheer Batman, and then she ran to Boots with Dora and took out a knife from her backpack - a necessary item for adventure - to cut the vines on his body.
Dora also took out a knife from her backpack to cut the vines on Boots' body, but she didn't know why the things that should have been cut easily could not be cut.
Over there, Batman was also caught by the vine. He was lifted up in the air by it, and the surrounding plants began to grow towards him.
"Batman!" Mia shouted anxiously. She looked around in panic, trying to see if there was anything that could help him, but there was nothing, nothing. There was nothing in her backpack except for essential adventure items like flash bombs.
If she had known earlier, she should have brought a powerful herbicide, Mia thought complainingly. Although she knew that Batman must have it in his belt, his hands were now completely bound by vines, and it was impossible for her to climb up the vines and get it in front of Poison Ivy.
No, wait, maybe! Mia suddenly had a flash of inspiration after hearing Boots shout "Troublemaker" (which she heard from the transparent man). She turned excitedly to look at Dora, and Dora looked at her. She understood that they wanted to go together.
So after confirming that Poison Ivy didn't care about them now, she first anxiously shouted to Dora, "Our most precious thing is still in Batman's belt, what should we do?!"
Dora heard her words She also nodded anxiously, and she replied equally loudly, "The troublemaker fox always likes to take our things, we can't let him know about it!" "
Yes, we have to keep it a secret!" Mia nodded, using her peripheral vision She looked at the Troublemaker's position, originally wanting to make sure it had heard what they said, but she didn't expect the Troublemaker to jump out and say triumphantly to them, "Ha, I already know!" "Oh, no
. , the troublemaker already knows about this!" Mia and Dora continued to shout pretending to be anxious. They watched as the Troublemaker began to move towards where Batman was, being a fox he was much more agile than they were.
And Poison Ivy didn't care about the children and monkeys who had been shouting from the beginning. In her opinion, Batman was much more important than them.
She ordered the vines to send Batman to her, but before she could take the next step, a light suddenly flashed across her eyes, followed by thick smoke.
That's the flash bomb Mia threw. She thought it would be a good way to distract Poison Ivy from the troublemaker who went to get herbicide.
And just as she thought, Poison Ivy was attracted by the flash//bomb. She frowned at them, letting the plants grab them.
Thick vines crawled towards them along the soil, but maybe it was because Batman was here that they didn't feel scared at all.
Dora also took out a flash//bomb and threw it in the direction of Poison Ivy. She evaded the pursuit of these plants. As a child who grew up in the rainforest, this was as easy for her as a fish returning to the water.
Compared to Dora, Mia looked much more embarrassed. She tried her best to run to those open areas as Dora told her, but she was soon caught and hung upside down in the air.
The adventure supplies fell from her backpack like rain, and Poison Ivy's face appeared before her eyes.
She
looked very angry. The actions of Mia and the others had just caused a lot of damage to her plants, but before she could say anything, Dora's voice sounded, and she shouted "Troublemaker, stop making trouble."
Poison Ivy:? ? ?
She moved away from Mia and turned her head to look at Dora. She was standing under Batman, "Troublemaker, don't make trouble!" Dora shouted again, but she still didn't drop the herbicide in her hand when she saw the troublemaker. Then she yelled at Batman, "My voice is too low, Mr. Batman, I need you to join us in shouting, Troublemaker, stop being Troublemaker!"
Batman:? ? ?
Although he didn't know what Dora meant, given the current situation, Batman followed her and shouted "Don't make trouble, troublemaker" three times.
Mia and Boots also shouted together, and their combined voices made the troublemaker curl his lips, "Oh, disgusting!" it said unhappily, and at the same time, he threw the herbicide in his hand down, and it just landed on it. Dora's hand.
She sprayed herbicide on the vines tied to Batman, and the vines immediately began to shrink and wither, and Batman broke free and jumped from mid-air.
He took out another can of herbicide from his belt to deal with Poison Ivy, while Dora went to rescue people. She first rescued Boots from the vines, and then let him go to save Mia with the herbicide. The distance between her and Poison Ivy was too close for her to get close.
Boots also completed this task brilliantly, successfully rescuing Mia and clearing her of other vines that wanted to get close to them.
The three of them, four to be precise, and Dora's transparent friend started raising their hands and waving to cheer Batman on once they ran to safety. The siren of the police car came from a distance, sounding like some kind of tranquilizer.
"The police are here!" Boots said happily. Together they watched Batman defeat Poison Ivy, watched her being handcuffed and put into a police car, and successfully arrived in Washington with the help of the police uncle.
They sang the treasure hunt song (this was still the name given by Mia, and she also sang along this time) and walked happily to the destination on the map.
They crossed the road, walked through alleys, held up maps and asked passers-by, and finally arrived at the place where the legendary delicious food appeared - an ice cream stand.
Mia/Dora: Wow!
They ran to the ice cream stand holding hands and asked the boss expectantly if the ice cream had been eaten by gods.
The ice cream owner was stunned after hearing what they said. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, Wonder Woman likes my ice cream." He looked at them with pride. That night, Wonder Woman The memory of Xia showing up at his stall with the girl named Hannah and asking him to give them both ice cream was still fresh in his memory.
Mia, Dora and Boots also cheered for Wonder Woman and took money out of their pockets to buy the ice cream.
The cold and sweet taste is just as described in the book, and there is no feeling of satiety except for the residue in the mouth.
While they were enjoying ice cream together, Dora and Boots suddenly looked somewhere and said, "Thank you for your help. Without you, we would definitely not be able to find the legendary food!"
Mia heard them After hesitating for a while, she followed the example of Dora and the others, facing the transparent person who, although she didn't know his name, had never met him, and didn't know if he existed, had indeed experienced this adventure with them. Say, "Thank you for helping us!"
