Gotham Police Department, back door.
A black van slowly stopped at the police department entrance, its wheels grinding on the ground, emitting a dull sound.
The car door opened, and several burly men jumped out. Then, they unloaded a handcart from the car, with two body bags placed on it.
At the same time, Dwarf jumped out of the passenger seat and nodded as he looked at the two body bags pushed in front of him.
One of the burly men looked at Dwarf and said solicitously, "Mr. Leader... we've unloaded the items here for you."
Dwarf waved his hand, looking nonchalant, "Leave the rest to me."
Then, he pushed the cart by himself and walked towards the interior of the police department.
The wheels slowly rolled, producing a harsh creaking sound as they rubbed against the ground, echoing continuously in the empty and silent police department corridor.
As he walked, Dwarf heard a girl's indifferent voice in his ear: "Boss, Giovanni asked me to remind you that the paper is very expensive and disposable. Please use it sparingly."
Dwarf cautiously observed his surroundings while quietly speaking into the earpiece, which was hidden by magic, "I know. Remind me to buy a whole carload for Teacher later!"
"Received."
Arcana ended the call and looked up at what was in front of her.
What greeted her eyes was a huge screen wall, covered with screens of various sizes.
However, most of the screens were in a "no signal" state. On the dim screens, Arcana's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Brucey's, was faintly reflected.
The only screen currently in use was the largest one in the center, clearly displaying the interior of the police department.
Through the camera Gwen had attached to her body, the screen showed the clean floor of the police department corridor, the mottled walls, and the signs hanging nearby.
Meanwhile, Thomas, who was unconscious, slowly opened his eyes amidst a Vague sound.
His head was groggy, and his vision was blurry. It took a while for the surrounding scene to gradually become clear.
What came into view was a compactly arranged surveillance room.
And what truly caught his attention was the girl sitting sideways in the swivel chair.
The girl was quietly watching the surveillance footage, picking up a Water cup beside her and taking a sip.
When Thomas clearly saw the girl's face, he instantly sobered up, his heart pounding violently as if it would burst through his chest.
He stumbled forward, embracing the girl, his voice trembling, "Brucey!"
Arcana was startled by the sudden hug. Her body instantly stiffened, and all the hairs on her body stood on end.
After seeing that it was Thomas who was hugging her, she suppressed the panic in her heart, tried to calm herself down, and said in a serious tone, "Mr. Thomas, you have the wrong person. I am not your daughter."
To be honest, Arcana felt a mix of emotions from this hug.
As someone with no name and no past, from the very beginning, she was sent to impersonate Brucey and take over her life.
During the long preparation process, she became intimately familiar with the lives of Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne.
Whether it was in that training Base where the sun never shone, or in this underground safe house where Gwen constantly urged her to go out and get some sun, she couldn't help but fantasize from time to time: if she really became Brucey, would Thomas and Martha love her as much as they loved their own daughter?
She thought that if there was no Gwen, she could have her own parents.
But every time she had such a thought, she would fiercely scold herself in her heart for being shameless.
Of course, this was in the first few years.
As for what she would think after this hug now... from an angle Thomas couldn't see, Arcana's lips curved slightly upward, revealing a mischievous smile.
Then, she put on her very deceptive poker face and said earnestly, "I'm Fake Brucey Wayne, who was sent to impersonate your daughter when I was 4 years old. Have you forgotten?"
Thomas: ????
The entire surveillance room fell into a dead silence, with only the images on the screen silently flickering.
It should be known that Arcana grew up under the tutelage of Alfred and Gwen. It would be strange if she had a serious and rigid personality.
Don't let Gwen's usually gentle smile and warm demeanor fool you; despite her appearance as a refined young lady, she was still a silly group member before she transmigrated.
Alfred was not much different. Although he was indeed a proper and serious good butler, he was a British butler.
If Alfred's butler skills could score 95 points, his old London traditional sharp tongue would definitely score 100 points.
Gwen even suspected for a while whether MI6 had any crosstalk training courses, like a Deyun Society old London branch.
And Arcana surpassed them both.
Looking at Thomas's surprised expression, she was quite satisfied.
Just as Arcana and Thomas were speechless, a slight notification sound suddenly came from the communication device, followed by echoing footsteps in the room.
The communication between Gwen and Arcana was a two-way design; no matter which party initiated a call, the other party would automatically connect.
On the other end of the call, a slightly hoarse male voice came through: "Are my parents awake?"
Since Gwen was currently disguised as Dwarf, her originally clear voice naturally became deeper.
Upon hearing this voice, Thomas felt it sounded very familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had heard it before.
Arcana, after quickly glancing at Thomas, responded, "Mr. Thomas is awake."
"Good, take good care of him. Let me know when Mother wakes up," Gwen instructed from her end.
"Understood, Boss," Arcana replied.
After the call ended, Arcana turned to look at the bewildered Thomas, deliberately saying nothing more, and continued to watch the surveillance.
Thomas was stunned. Seeing Arcana completely ignore him, he still couldn't help but speak.
"You just now, were you talking to your Boss?" Thomas said seriously, "Your Boss captured me and my wife. What do you want? Money? Or the Wayne Group?"
Hearing Thomas's words, Arcana suppressed her laughter, turned her head, and said with a serious expression, "The one who just called was my Boss, Gwendolyn Wayne."
Thomas was instantly bewildered again.
He widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, his mouth slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but was momentarily speechless.
What? That was my daughter just now? No, why did her voice change like that?!
Arcana observed Thomas's confused expression, silently turned her head, and from an angle Thomas couldn't see, she showed a slight smile and nodded with interest.
Hmm, as expected, the Boss's family is all fun.
