The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 327
A good-looking housekeeper introduced the two into the interior of the small manor, which looked the same as the outside. For someone who can own such a fast place, the low-key here is indeed a bit too much.

Villa, second floor.
"Master is waiting for you inside." She bowed slightly and said.

Quinn shrugged his shoulders and walked inside.

Old Joey naturally followed, but the maid stretched out her hand to stop Old Joey.

"Sir, the master said that he saw Miss Quinn alone and the kitchen has prepared food for you, so please follow me."

Old Joey cast a questioning look at Quinn, and Quinn nodded, signaling Old Joey to leave him alone, then turned and pushed open the door in front of him.

The scene inside the door really surprised him.

Originally, she thought that this place would be a study room, or a reception room, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a dimly lit place similar to a ward, with a big bed in the middle, and some infusion bottles hanging on the head of the bed. The sound of breathing came from the bed.

There should be a person lying there, but the shadow covers it, making it hard to see clearly.

Quinn touched the wall subconsciously, trying to find the light in this room.
"It's been a long time. I haven't seen you." The voice suddenly rang out. Although it was very soft and slightly changed in tone, Quinn could tell that this person was the former owner of "Bingshan Restaurant", Oswald. · Chesterfield Copperpot, also known as "Penguin".

"Uh, yeah, long time no see, where is your light here?" Quinn asked casually.

"There are no lights here," replied the Penguin.

"Huh? Why?"

a short silence
"Puldelli Syndrome - congenital disease, you know, I was born a deformed child, this disease makes my body not develop normally, and after 45 years old, my organs began to decline, Gradually, I could only move around in a wheelchair. On my 60th birthday, I fell asleep in this bed. After that day, I couldn’t even get up and even see too much light, because my The retina can't take it."

He said it lightly, as if he was telling a story.

Quinn froze for a moment.

Indeed, she knew that Penguin was a congenital deformity, but in her impression, apart from his penguin-like appearance, this deformed guy seemed to be full of wisdom and forbearance, a strong business mind, and a strong business mind. Afraid of all ruthless and powerful people.

These attributes make people gradually forget that he is a vulnerable group with congenital diseases.

"Oh, that's unfortunate." Quinn said, "And, are you already 60 years old?"

In the shadows, there was a weak laugh: "Haha, you are 63 years old. You have been gone for 40 years. Actually, I never thought I would see you again."

"What?" Quinn was taken aback, and a thought rushed into her mind: "You said. What do you mean I'm leaving?"

"Just leave. Last time you left this world, you were the kind of person out of time, right? After all, so many years have passed, and you are still so young." The penguin said: "The last time you came At that time, I was just a small character who couldn't hold my head high in the family. You broke into my restaurant and helped me take everything from the Copperpot family. Without you, there would be no me at this moment."

Hearing these words, Quinn's mind buzzed, and a sense of absurdity burst out.

Could it be that this plane is the same as the Gotham that I came to last time?But, is it a different time point?

"You seem to be surprised." Penguin's voice came.

Quinn smiled helplessly: "Hehe, yes, I didn't expect that I would come back again, but... it's been so long, you know, in my consciousness, in fact, only a few months have passed. "

"Time does make people confused, but as you said, you have your consciousness, so we are just countless passers-by in your experience." Penguin said, compared with him before, now , he is indeed more like an old man in his dying years.

"But I know you'll always come back, so I've been waiting for you, and I want to say thank you for all these years."

Quinn exhaled and calmed down his thoughts: "You're welcome, everyone just got what they needed at the time."

"Of course. I don't like mixing emotions in transactions." The penguin said: "Then, why are you here this time?"

Quinn thought for a moment: "Same as last time, I want someone who can completely listen to me."

"Ha——" Penguin laughed: "It's not the same now as it was 40 years ago. Ever since Superman took control of the world, the power of gangsters has almost been wiped out. I'm just a businessman now."

Quinn nodded: "Okay."

"However, although I don't have gang-like subordinates, but... as a businessman, I still have countless employees, and these employees can do a lot of things for me."

Penguin suddenly said again.

"Hehe." Quinn smiled: "If I'm not wrong, you will definitely have to bargain again next, right?"

"Of course, even though my current property is all thanks to you, I have also said that I do business without any emotion."

"Yes." Quinn replied, "Then how many people can you give me?"

"How many people? Haha - I have a lot of 'employees', mainly. What do you have?"

Quinn was silent for a while, she has almost nothing now, although she also wanted to rob a bank before coming, but the risk is too great, making such a big commotion will definitely arouse the idea of ​​those [cosmic elements] .

"I know, you don't have anything." The Penguin laughed: "But... if you promise me two things, then maybe I will give you some people."

"What is it?" Quinn asked.

"First thing, you have to come over first," said the penguin.

After hearing this, Quinn walked to the head of the bed. In the dim shadows, she saw that Mr. Copperpot, who was once short in stature but whose name resounded throughout the underground world, was already aging and out of shape.

"Then, I want you to press this for me." The Penguin handed a remote control to Quinn with difficulty.

Quinn took the remote control in doubt, and there was only one button on it.

"What's this?" Quinn asked.

"This kind of question is meaningless. If you want someone, then press it. If you don't want him, just return him to me and walk out of that door." Cobblepot said, between the lines, it seems that he can still feel the That incomparable courage.

Quinn gave a shoulder: "Okay." She said, and then pressed the button.

next second.

"Life support shut down."

An electronic sound suddenly sounded, and the infusion set on Copperpot's bedside stopped slowly, and the oxygen pipeline seemed to be quiet all of a sudden.

This scene seemed a bit out of Quinn's expectation: "What...what's going on?"

Coppert smiled: "It's nothing, in fact, the moment I lay on the bed, I couldn't find the meaning of living anymore, but there was a little wish that hadn't been fulfilled, so I thought, wait a minute Now, my wish has come true, so I should go too."

"But."

"The second thing!" Cobbot interrupted Quinn: "I want you to go out, close the door, and leave me alone for a while."

Quinn stood by the bed silently, watching the old man slowly close his eyes. That gesture was very satisfying.

So, Quinn nodded and walked out of the room.

Outside the door, the beautiful maid was standing quietly, as if waiting for Quinn to leave the room.

"Excuse me, have you pressed that button?" She bowed politely and asked.

Quinn hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The maid was silent for a second, then bowed again: "Miss Quinn, from now on, the Copperpot family will be at your command."

she said.
The moment she raised her head, Quinn seemed to see some redness in the corners of her eyes.
