[Zhongyingmei] If you don't dig a hole, you will die

Poison Ivy doesn't want to meddle too much in Arkham Knight's affairs, especially this kind of personal matter.

Although Pamela was still a good person under normal conditions.However, after going through the plant experiment that was destructive to her, the word "normal" has been insulated from her since then;

In addition, after Harley Quinn refused her helping hand, saying that she would stay with the clown forever, her whole spirit was completely destroyed from then on.

She will no longer have any extra kindness, she will only regard plants as her children, everything she is closest, most trustworthy and most worthy of relying on. their misfit little girl;

And the guy who can appear at the bottom of Arkham.Apart from the criminals, there were only ordinary people who might have been brought back as gifts from outside, and even if they disappeared, they would not attract too much attention.

That being the case, why should she care about the life and death of an ordinary person?

But Poison Ivy always felt that something was wrong.She frowned two eyebrows that were as bright and intense as her red hair, thinking carefully in her chaotic brain, what was wrong?

Is Arkham Knight not going to like this kind of little girl?not sure.Although he has always shown that he has no extra interest in anyone.

But this girl looks innocent and well-behaved, and she is also very soft. While she is out of tune with them, this kind of overly clear and clear temperament, which is very different from them, may also be attractive?Nothing can be said with absolute certainty.

Is it why she didn't show much fear and panic when she saw them?

Not too possible.When the little girl was still blocked by the Arkham Knight in the room behind her, her vines had already seen her expression in advance. There was no fear on her face, but it was not the kind of expression that she had seen before The calmness shown by people with strong winds and waves is more like being frightened, unable to move or speak.

This explanation makes perfect sense, because "no look" is the normal look that these frightened people have.

Poison Ivy is not a scheming person, and her only criminal motive is that "plant life is more precious than human life".

That's why she was removed from the ranks of normal people and came here to join the madmen of Arkham.

However, even so, she failed to learn any scheming from these lunatics, at least she hadn't learned to hide her expression perfectly. The Arkham Knight saw through her full of doubts at a glance: "What do you think?" wrong?"

Poison Ivy shook her head: "I haven't figured it out yet."

"Then stop thinking about it." Arkham Knight passed her and strode forward: "I have a sense of proportion."

Poison Ivy: ...Come on, if you knew how to write the word "property", you wouldn't switch to our camp!

But right now, it is still more important to annex the assets under the name of the black mask.If their business is finally successful, then all the assets originally under the name of Black Mask will be theirs.

Everything costs money these days, the latest protective equipment, the most advanced technological products and instruments, and munitions with huge lethality...

It's a lot of money to pick out any one, and no one thinks that they have too much money.

So Poison Ivy put this little problem to the back of her mind very simply:

Anyway, the Joker and Harley Quinn have been away from Arkham for a long time.No matter where the super-criminal duo are now playing tricks, at least they won't be returning to Arkham anytime soon;

In this way, the little girl can't escape anywhere in the bottom of Arkham alone, even because she is in the knight's room.

And it is safer than any place in Gotham now.No matter what happened, it would be too late to solve it after they all returned to Arkham.

As a result, what Poison Ivy never expected was that her question was answered so quickly.

Before they even had time to go back to Arkham Asylum, she saw the little girl she had seen not so long ago again.

It's just that what I saw was not a real person, but a photo, still in black and white, which was published on the missing person and obituary page of the newspaper along with basic information such as her age, name, and nationality.

It's a coincidence that the two sides fought fiercely, each of them suffered injuries, and the battle situation was extremely stalemate for a while.

Although Black Mask has been operating in Gotham for many years and has a solid foundation, if we really want to talk about the strength of the fight, the combat effectiveness of his side can't be put on the table;

Not to mention that the people who are fighting with him are the Scarecrow, Arkham Knight, Poison Ivy and others who have joined forces. No matter how superb the combat experience and combat ability of ordinary people are, how can they be compared with these desperate lunatics?

So at the beginning of the fire/fight, Black Mask could still compete against the Arkham Knights with the wealth he had accumulated over the years;

But as time went on, no matter how rich the family was, it couldn't stand such a trial and expense, and the balance of victory gradually shifted to the Arkham Knight's side.

Seeing that his situation was over, the black mask knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly fled the battlefield when no one noticed him, and came to a bookstore under his name.

Although in the industry under the name of Black Mask, the most commendable is the cosmetics company named Janus.

But this does not mean that he has no other industries and businesses, nor does it mean that he wants to put all his eggs in the same basket, and even the secret passages for emergency escape must be put in the place where he thinks most. ho place.

It’s like this unremarkable second-hand bookstore full of all kinds of yellowed old books and old newspapers

In fact, there is a secret passage hidden inside that allows him to leave here smoothly.

Right now, the battle situation is becoming more and more tense, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the Black Mask side will definitely not win.

So he planned to change his face and escape from this second-hand bookstore, and then stay anonymous for a while:

If it goes well, contact the old department while recuperating, recharge your energy, and wait for a comeback in the future, if it doesn't go well...

He couldn't even finish thinking about his future plans in his mind.Because just when he hurriedly changed his clothes and wanted to pretend to be an innocent passerby, a gun that was still hot from firing too many bullets came to his chest. lower back.

Under the black mask's pupils constricted, he knew that if he still just wanted to run for his life today, he might not be able to escape no matter what——

Arkham Knight is a lunatic, a complete lunatic—in that case, why not try harder, what if he can take the time to kill Arkham Knight one step ahead of time?

So the two started fighting in this bookstore. At the beginning, they were evenly matched and looked good. However, after Poison Ivy manipulated her plants to quietly join the battlefield, it was still a little The stalemate was immediately broken, and the Arkham Knight gained the upper hand after a few back and forth.

The black mask fought and retreated angrily. When he passed a wooden bookcase suspended in the air by chains, he had an idea and quickly shot, "bang bang" two shots in the air, precisely shooting the only one who could All the chains that fixed the bookcase in the sky were broken:

Fortunately, when renovating this bookstore, the designer gave a question about whether it seemed useless.But a good thing that can be so useful in a pinch!

Poison Ivy and Arkham Knight didn't expect him to have this trick either.To be honest, this designer is also quite abnormal. What kind of person would design this kind of bookcase in the air that hangs in mid-air and is completely fixed only by the chains on the ceiling. It is not afraid that the chains will break after a long period of disrepair. Can't fix the cabinet anymore, let the cabinet fall down and hurt people?What an interior design genius!

No, the cabinet, which was not very stable in the first place, and was bathed in bullets flying all over the sky even when the two of them were fighting, finally fell from mid-air. There are countless newspapers and books in this cabinet, and the yellowed paper is flying all over the sky, completely blocking the sight of both Arkham Knight and Poison Ivy, and it is impossible to see where the black mask is now.

Although Poison Ivy made a decisive decision and let her plants quickly get all these pages away from the two of them.But in just a few seconds, the black mask immediately escaped without a trace.

Just when Poison Ivy was about to catch up, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, her eyes fixed on a photo that she would never notice normally.

She didn't know why she was attracted to a photo that had nothing weird about it at first.

However, her subconscious mind was one step ahead of her and found something wrong with this photo, so it shouted loudly to her in her chaotic and messy brain:

Look here, look here!Here is what you want!

After Poison Ivy finally realized what she saw, she froze:

It was an obituary, and it was many years ago.

This is not a local newspaper in Gotham, because every day in Gotham, people die or disappear for one reason or another.

If there is really a special section like this, then "Gotham Daily" can directly change its name to "Guess How Many People We Died Today" on the spot.

This is the New York Daily, and the obituary page is reserved for foreigners without U.S. citizenship.

But having said that, the death of ordinary people with ordinary identities cannot be boarded in this module—they just don’t need the "obituary" thing——

And the name of the mother in the girl's basic information explains why she can appear here:

Her mother was a well-known geologist, so famous that even the Department of Plants and Department of Geology that Poison Ivy studied had a wall as thick as [-] miles.

Even though she has been away from school for a long time and has become like this now, she still vaguely remembers that she is a very remarkable person.

That being the case, no one can stop a geologist who lost her beloved daughter from publishing an obituary for her daughter.

It's just that the photo on this obituary is the girl she just saw in Arkham Knight's room a few hours ago!

Poison Ivy walked over quickly, grabbed the obituary in her hand, and read it carefully, but the more she read it, the more frightened she became:

Because judging from the publication date in the upper left corner of the newspaper that published this obituary, when this obituary was issued, she was still Pamela Eisley, and she was still studying at Gotham University, and she was Harley Quay. Because the Harley Quinn is an alumnus with her, and the second-generation Robin who is not an Arkham Knight should still be struggling to survive in some corner of Gotham.

A small black-and-white photo that does not even have half a palm, neither can it show her soft black hair, nor can it reproduce those clear and beautiful green eyes, and the name, age, nationality, parents and death Time and other information are squeezed together, and within a few numbers, her whole life is summarized, and her whole life is condensed in this half of an old newspaper that still emits a faint musty smell.

Hetty Brown, this beautiful girl with black hair and green eyes, was...so young when she died.
