…A week later.
A Shadow emerged from the Time Defense Agency.
This Shadow had messy hair, a scruffy beard, and wore ragged clothes, looking utterly disheveled.
"Phew…"
Lin Luo let out a deep breath.
After relentless work, he had finally finished upgrading all the Time Defense Agency's temporal machines.
From the limiters and traversers down to each member's weapon systems.
Only a week had passed in the real World, but for him, more than half a year had gone by!
Before, without brain domain restrictions, such work would have taken about a week. Alas… the inability to freely use his brain was truly a major issue.
He needed to find time to fix that aspect.
Natasha and Catwoman had received notification early and had parked the car in front of the door, leaning against it, waiting quietly.
The moment they saw Lin Luo, they couldn't believe this homeless-looking man was their Boss.
"Boss?" Catwoman asked timidly.
Lin Luo glanced at her, got straight into the car, "Too tired to talk. Take me to Gotham. I want to take a bath."
"Uh… Okay!"
Catwoman and Natasha quickly got into the car.
They didn't show any disdain for Lin Luo's disheveled state, still actively sitting on either side of him, one on each side.
Lin Luo closed his eyes, seemingly resting.
Originally, he had planned to look for Lorna, but that little girl was engrossed in her superhero career; a phone call ended after only a few words.
Hmph!
He was spoiling her too much!
He had initially felt a tiny bit guilty, thinking this wasn't fair to the two big ones in Gotham, but now he didn't need to feel guilty anymore.
"Did you find anything?" Natasha asked with some concern.
For the omnipotent Boss to be in such a state, it surely wasn't a simple problem.
"No definitive answer, but I have a little lead," Lin Luo replied with his eyes closed.
He said 'a little', but this 'little' was enough to be shocking.
If the other party had indeed gone to such great lengths to send someone over, even he would have to give a big thumbs up.
If this were true, the pain Cheng Xiaoyu was currently enduring was simply unimaginable.
Same old, just wait for Xiaoyu to expose herself.
Truly kind people, like Natasha, always retain a core of goodness no matter what happens.
Xiaoyu was exactly that kind of person.
In a flash, the car entered Gotham City and arrived in front of the dilapidated apartment.
Lin Luo got out of the car, weakly made his way to the door, and knocked.
A moment later, the door "clattered" open.
The adorable Harley Quinn, with her pigtails, asked playfully, "Who is it? Who is it?"
When she clearly saw it was Lin Luo, she froze.
"Uh…"
Harley Quinn quickly waved towards the living room, "Darling, come here quickly, there's a homeless man who looks like our husband trying to break in!"
"Where? Where?" Poison Ivy arrived at the sound, and after seeing Lin Luo, she screeched to a halt.
She looked him up and down and asked, "Did you perhaps come to the wrong room?"
"I'm not joking with you," Lin Luo walked in, heading straight for the bathroom, "I need someone to scrub my back and give me a massage. First come, first served."
!!!
Hearing this, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy jolted and exchanged glances.
Like martial arts masters in a duel, waiting for the other to reveal a flaw.
One second, two seconds, three seconds… Harley Quinn couldn't hold back any longer, turned around, and lunged to hang onto Lin Luo.
Poison Ivy threw out a vine, hooking Harley Quinn's leg. The poor Harley Quinn, mid-flight, fell directly to the ground.
"This is the advantage of having superpowers, you see," Poison Ivy stepped over Harley Quinn, following with a playful smile.
"F**k!"
Seeing Poison Ivy push Lin Luo into the bathroom, Harley Quinn pouted angrily, indignantly punching the ground.
Before Lin Luo arrived, it was all 'darling' and 'besties forever'!
And after he arrived?
Their true nature was exposed after just a few words!
No! She had to go mess things up, she couldn't let them have it so easy!
Harley Quinn used her teleportation skill, slipped to the bathroom door, and quietly opened a crack.
Inside the bathroom.
Poison Ivy acted like a gentle and virtuous wife, first filling the bathtub with Water, then helping Lin Luo use facial cleanser to wash away the accumulated grime.
Then gently scrubbing his back.
It had to be said, her technique was indeed first-rate. Lin Luo's nerves instantly relaxed, and his fatigue dissipated bit by bit.
Outside the door.
Harley Quinn gnashed her teeth.
She was even scrubbing his back like that, it was too much!
But judging by his appearance, Lin Luo was really tired. Had he really encountered some difficulty?
As a qualified lover, if not helping to share his burdens, she should at least offer a warm embrace.
Thinking this, Harley Quinn shed her extra clothes, opened the door, and pounced with lightning speed.
"…"
"…"
In the end, apart from an overly warm hug and a normal massage, nothing happened.
The three of them sat in the bathtub, soaking.
Lin Luo regained his usual vigor, looking at the two small heads leaning on either side.
He asked, "Do you have any specific plans for your future lives? What do you want to do, or… do you have any dreams you want to fulfill?"
"I once thought about going to that Planet you mentioned, the one entirely made of plants, but then I thought better of it…" Poison Ivy casually conjured a rose, saying contentedly:
"It's too far, and you wouldn't be able to be with me often. It's better to just find an island on Earth and plant some flowers and plants."
"Distance is not an issue for us," Lin Luo said, "I have a spatial teleportation device. No matter where you are in any corner of the Universe, you can instantly return to Earth."
"Is that so?" Poison Ivy rose in surprise, causing ripples across the calm Water.
"Then I'll still go to that Planet!"
"OK."
Lin Luo pulled her back, covering her with Water, otherwise, big problems could arise.
"Harley, what about you? Still like before, having children and living an ordinary life of a wife and mother?"
Harley Quinn shook her head, softly saying, "This World is too unsafe. Even if I had children, I don't know if I could protect them. Let's talk about it when there's peace."
"At this stage, I want to live a happy life with you guys like before. If I had to say I want to do something…"
Harley Quinn suddenly sat up straight. She also caused ripples, though not as large as Poison Ivy's.
"I want to teach those bastards a lesson! Let them know that I, Harley Quinn, am not to be trifled with!"
"Also, whether doing good deeds or bad, I want to go out and make a name for myself, to shed this 'Harley Quinn' title!"
"That's ambitious, I support you," Poison Ivy said.
"Shed the Harley Quinn title?" Lin Luo hugged Harley Quinn and took a sniff, "Baby, I'll personally assemble a team for you to fight aliens."
"Joker… Joker… the Joker in a deck of cards is the ace…"
"So, from now on, you are my ace."
Harley Quinn blinked her eyes, "Darling, to me, that's the most beautiful declaration of love in the World."
Saying this, she lifted her chin, her eyes hazy.
Lin Luo instantly understood the meaning, lowering his head to kiss her.
But the moment he was about to make contact, the Chip received a message from the Time Defense Agency.
After a slight pause, he continued passionately.
He hadn't expected it to come so quickly…
