Chapter 1367: What Do You See In Her?

But Luke wasn’t done yet.

He took out two business cards and gave them to her. “Your information is very useful, but you should have sensed that it isn’t safe in the sewers. Here’s my private number, and the contact information for a community foundation. It’s hiring office and community workers, and it provides accommodation.”

A little ashamed, Skye reached out to give everything back. “No, you’ve given me enough. I can’t take that. I’ll find a job and move out.”

Luke put his hands on her shoulders and said solemnly, “Skye, I’m a detective, and my partner is an awesome character who has worked for eight years.”

Skye: “Huh?”

A certain awesome character: (* ?? ?)

Luke said, “So, do you think we can’t tell that you’re not eighteen yet?”

Skye panicked, but Luke’s hands were on her shoulders.

Luke said, “Alright, we’re police officers. There’s no need to call the police; we can take you back to the police department ourselves.”

Skye lowered her head in embarrassment, but couldn’t help but slant a look at him.

Luke said, “My request is very simple: Move out, go to the community foundation and do as much as you’re able to; that will get you through this period of time at least.”

Skye couldn’t help but say in a low voice, “But… I ran away from a foster home.”

When she said that, she observed Luke and Selina, only to see that they were both calm.

What Skye didn’t know was that the moment she entered the diner, the sunglasses had scanned her and Little Snail had found her profile in less than two minutes.

Luke said, “I’ll solve that problem for you as soon as possible. What do you need to do now?”

Skye: “…Move out and find work with the community foundation.”

Satisfied, Luke let go and patted her head with a smile. “Good girl! Go. You have to move out before tonight.”

Skye nodded subconsciously and turned around to leave.

After taking two steps, she suddenly came back to herself and turned around. “Um, thanks, Luke.”

Luke waved at her to hurry up.

Watching the girl run off, Selina approached him and chuckled. “What do you see in her?”

As she spoke, she subconsciously looked at her chest.

Although the girl was a little thin, she was quite attractive.

Luke put his hand on her shoulder and said, “Let’s talk in the car.”

Selina was surprised.

Luke didn’t want to talk about it on the street. The Skye girl probably wasn’t that simple, but he really couldn’t tell what super abilities she had.

After they got into the car, Luke said, “Little Snail, show Selina the information that’s on Skye’s computer.”

There was a brief silence in the car, before Selina exclaimed, “What? A high school dropout who’s a hacker? Don’t tell me she’s that sort of kid genius who knows how to type as soon as they touch a computer?”

Luke rolled his eyes. “That’s even rarer than a toddler who knows how to type. She’s not very good at hacking, but it’s not hard for her to make some money from it.”

Selina was confused. “Then why is she in the sewers?”

As soon as she said that, she slapped her forehead. “I’m an idiot. She’s from a foster home and isn’t an adult yet; it would be hard for her to find a proper job. Hm, but it shouldn’t be a problem to make some money as a hacker, right?”

Luke said, “That’s not her intent. Also, look at the sort of information she’s collecting.”

Selina looked at it again and suddenly laughed. “So, she’s Batman’s little fan. No wonder you have such a good attitude toward her.”

Luke said, “What I’m interested in is her talent, okay?”

Selina turned an incredibly contemptuous look on him.

Luke chuckled. “Of course, her genes are a little interesting. I plan to study them.”

Selina asked, “Superpower?”

Luke said helplessly, “Can you not think it’s superpowers all the time? Can’t it be… Hm, let’s call it an immunity. Although it’s rare, it’s not very useful. As for the specifics, if you’re planning to study genetics, I can give you this research assignment.”

Selina decisively refused. “Go play by yourself. I don’t want to be a nerd.”

She knew what her hobbies and talents were, and they definitely didn’t include research, let alone studying genetics.

Even Luke himself admitted that genetics was a bit of a struggle for him. The only reason he pushed himself to study it was for their personal health checkups.

Selina was self-aware and wouldn’t waste her energy on such a thankless task.

Besides, she already had a lot of training and classes; she really didn’t have time to add gene research to that.

Changing the topic, she asked, “Then why aren’t you helping her move?”

Luke shook his head. “She’s too wary and proud. This is our first time meeting her. If we’re too enthusiastic, she might misunderstand.”

Selina snorted. “It’s fine. If you can handle a middle-aged waitress with a smile, a little girl is no problem.”

Luke chuckled. “Hehe.”

People were different.

A pretty girl who could resist Pheromone Control was definitely rarer than a middle-aged waitress.

He wasn’t a saint; naturally, he would pay more attention to Skye.

Besides, he had already met a really fierce waitress whom he had to give more attention to.

After a while, Selina got down to business. “What about that sewer? Are we coming back tonight?”

Luke hummed and said, “Safety first. Besides, I really don’t want to go in wearing this. It stinks.”

Selina nodded. “Same.”

The sewers were both smelly and dirty.

Luke had long taken this into account when designing their armor. After all, a man who didn’t crawl through the sewers wasn’t a good Batman.

The armor had an internal circulation system to provide oxygen and prevent them from breathing in any toxic gases.

Secondly, the armor itself didn’t stain easily, and could be cleaned up quickly.

This was for security reasons.

If Batman and Black Cat came out smelling bad, everybody would know that they had been in the sewers.

Someone might set up traps in the sewers to deal with them.

Also, it was easy to leave traces of the smell behind, thus exposing their movements.

Not only would wearing the armor make it easier to explore the sewer quickly, Luke could also continue to upgrade his schematic layout of New York’s sewers.

At eight in the evening, the sky finally turned dark. Luke, Selina and the dog put on their armor and set off.

On the way to Brooklyn, Selina couldn’t help but ask, “The girl hasn’t called yet?”

Luke frowned. “No. The community foundation hasn’t received any word from her either.”

Selina asked, “Did she forget the time when she was surfing the Internet in the sewer? Gold Nugget often does that.”

Gold Nugget whined.

Selina said, “I’m talking about going online and forgetting the time, not talking about you surfing the Internet in the sewers.”

Gold Nugget:?Oh.

Luke:?…Sure enough, the two of you are a match made in heaven.
