When I have Spider-Sense at the level of 'Silk' Cindy, I can find anyone I want. Connors saw the news about Catwoman and temporarily had no other options. He wanted to get gossip about her, but it was hard to come by.
This kind of gossip that has passed through who knows how many hands on TV and in the news is now beneath him. To get gossip, it has to be fresh, only then will the rewards be substantial.
The taxi continued forward. The driver tried several times to strike up a conversation with Connors, especially after the vehicle gradually drove out of the Gotham City area. He finally couldn't help but speak:
"Hey, brother, are you going to Gotham Forest?"
Connors asked doubtfully:
"No, buddy, don't tell me you're adding extra fees now, right?"
.
His destination was Gotham Forest, which he had already told the driver upon getting in. The fare was calculated by the taxi meter. Saying this now, he wouldn't encounter a black car, right?
"Uh-" The driver smiled somewhat awkwardly, "You might not know, there's a man-eating monster in Gotham Forest. Going empty-handed like this might not be very safe."
"Oh." Connors nodded indifferently. Carrying the Green of All Things, he wasn't afraid of Poison Ivy, whom others feared.
"...It's like this, I have a shotgun in my car. If you don't mind, I can sell it to you,
That way, you'll have a handy tool when you enter the forest." The driver finally stated his purpose.
"How much?"
Connors said, taking out his wallet.
Taxi drivers are always working hard, especially in a place like Gotham City. Who knows, one day they might be driving along normally and be taken away by some villain, car and all.
He didn't mind helping the driver with this act of reselling firearms by taking advantage of being away from the city.
"Only five hundred dollars."
The price sounded reasonable, and Connors prepared to pay.
"However, buddy, bullets are three thousand per shot."
The driver revealed his true intentions and pointed a pistol at Connors in the back seat.
From the look of it, either he honestly paid up and accepted the loss, or he would receive a free bullet.
Connors stopped reaching for his money, leaned forward from the back seat to look in the car's rearview mirror, and after confirming his appearance repeatedly, he asked:
"Do I look like a pushover to you?"
The driver raised the pistol in his hand, his other hand managing both the steering wheel and gear shifting, looking like he had done this many times before.
The next second, the driver was thrown out of the window of the moving car.
"Shit!"
He cursed instinctively, then scrambled to his feet, quickly raising his gun to aim at the gradually departing taxi, only to find that the pistol's safety had been turned off at some point.
He hurriedly turned the safety on, and his pants fell down again. Looking down, he saw that his belt had been pulled off.
By the time he looked up to aim again, the taxi was already out of range.
Connors stood on the edge of Gotham Forest. With just one more step forward, he would have completely entered the forest's boundary.
However, he didn't rush in. There were no paths inside, and entering might lead to getting lost and unable to get out.
The Green moved as he willed, plants grew wildly, forming a soft and comfortable lounge chair, and Connors sat down on it.
He sat there for a whole day.
During this time, Connors tried standing on the treetops, but still couldn't see any trace of Poison Ivy's possible presence, and besides small animals, no other creatures came to find him.
This made Connors couldn't help but start to wonder if he had misunderstood. Was Poison Ivy in this World not in Gotham Forest?
If he waited any longer, it would be dark. Connors dusted himself off and drove away in the taxi.
Today's daytime was wasted, with no gains. Tonight, he would walk around Gotham,
To see if he might encounter Catwoman, otherwise, he wouldn't even get any gossip rewards today.
After parking the car in the middle of the river outside Gotham City, Connors inquired about the location of the Joseph Jewelry Store and walked there unhurriedly.
To be stolen from by Catwoman five times in a row, this store was truly unlucky, and there might even be a sixth time. He prepared to try his luck.
And when he stopped another taxi and got in, Poison Ivy in Gotham Forest finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ugh, Ivy, what is this stuff? It's so disgusting." Harley Quinn stood up naked from a bathtub.
The bathtub was filled with a light purple liquid, sticky and gooey, emitting a nauseating smell.
"Poison Ivy" Ivy also stood up naked from the other end of the bathtub:
"These are some necessary measures for you to stay here with me -- my title of Poison Ivy isn't just for show. Anyone who spends a long time with me without taking precautions will get poisoned."
"Moreover, Harley, as my only close friend, these formulas I've specially prepared for you can change your immune system, increasing your tolerance to toxins. Your natural agility and strength will also be enhanced."
"Yuck-" Harley reached out and wiped off some of the purple goo clinging to her body, brought it to her nose to smell, and couldn't help but want to throw up again.
But soon, she found that compared to her own sensory disgust and discomfort, Ivy, standing at the other end of the same bathtub, was in more pain at this moment.
"Poison Ivy" Ivy's legs were tightly closed, her skin was pink, and her body trembled uncontrollably,
This was a look she had never seen before.
"Ivy, what's wrong?" Harley jumped out of the bathtub, not caring about her increased agility compared to before, and asked in a panic.
""...." Poison Ivy didn't speak.
She had already discovered when Connors appeared outside Gotham Forest, but at that time, she was soaking in a bathtub with Harley to enhance Harley's physical condition.
This process could not be interrupted.
But Connors sat outside for a day, and "Poison Ivy" Ivy was also uncomfortable for a day, her body's hormones seemed to be in disarray.
Fortunately, the formula prepared for Harley didn't smell very good, successfully masking the scent she was emitting, otherwise Ivy would have had a hard time explaining.
Although her body was very uncomfortable, Ivy finally knew the source of her discomfort; it was clearly Connors himself.
She made up her mind that after Harley Quinn left, she would go find Connors to see what was going on.
"Ivy, I'm going to find Xiao Pa-- No, I'm going to cause some trouble in Gotham!"
Harley Quinn stood beside the bathtub, rinsing off the remaining formula goo on her body with cold water, revealing the skin underneath which was whiter, more tender, but also tougher, and said to Ivy.
Joseph Jewelry Store.
Catwoman Selina Kyle scanned around in disappointment. After being stolen from five times in a row, the jewelry store finally stopped putting any new items on display. Currently, the jewelry in the store was all ordinary stuff.
She skillfully leaped, using the ventilation duct to leave, planning to come back after some time.
However, instead of landing safely on the rooftop after jumping out of the ventilation duct, she landed in a warm embrace.
Connors looked at the curvaceous beauty in his arms, stunned. He had just poked his head into the ventilation duct for a look, so how did she jump directly into his arms?
The angle of the jump wasn't quite right, was it?
Just as he expected, the thief who frequently stole from the jewelry store was indeed Catwoman, with a waist that could be spanned by a hand,
The softness wrapped in the black bodysuit surpassed Xue Xi and Cindy.
Catwoman Selina Kyle was also startled and subconsciously used her martial arts to try and take down Connors.
He saw her arch her waist, and a pair of thighs clamped around Connors' head. Her movements were incredibly agile. Next, by using the strength of her whole body, she could make Connors lose his balance and fall to the ground.
However, his Human Limit physique kept Connors' center of gravity completely still. He stood firmly in place, stunned once again.
What did this mean?
