Chapter 34 Randomly kills a lucky audience member
It was getting late, and Connors did not return to Xuexi's hotel.
Riding on "Catwoman" Selena's motorcycle, with the seat still seemingly warm from her touch, Connors floored the throttle all the way back to his nineteenth-floor apartment.
Although I accepted the invitation from actress Yuki to watch the magic show tomorrow, I still couldn't find out who it was from her room just now.
He needed to go back to the apartment and talk to Harley Quinn again to see if Harley's "magic show" and the "magic" that Sheryl used to make up for the audience were the same performance.
He had a feeling this was going to be a big surprise.
It started raining lightly again in Gotham, and he was soaked when he got back to his apartment.
Lying in the bathtub, letting the heat from the xenon box drive away the cold, Connors turned on the system.
I woke up in my cell at Arkham Asylum this morning, and since then, all sorts of gossip has been recorded in the system.
[Today's Gossip: An Ordinary Morning in Arkham]
This is the system notification as Connors casually walks past the clowns while brushing his teeth.
[Today's Gossip: The Man Who Laughs Man Incident (Ongoing) - A Crazy Plan]
This is a piece of gossip recorded by the system when the Joker tells Connors about his plan to put Batman in an asylum.
[Today's Gossip: Harley Quinn's Return]
Needless to say.
[Today's gossip: Deeply rooted]
This is a restricted-content story that happened after Harley and he returned to the apartment.
[Today's Gossip: A Novel Method of Theft]
[Today's Gossip: Batman and Robin]
These two are related to the operation that just ended tonight, while the supercar that was stolen again was not recorded by the gossip system.
"My car keeps getting stolen every day. I think the system should give me a separate 'Car Theft Melon' account," Connors thought to himself, amusing himself.
Following the rule that "the more superheroes and villains involved, the greater the influence and the greater the reward," which Connors himself had summarized, he quickly chose the "spectator" task that needed to be submitted.
[Today's Gossip: The Man Who Laughs Man Incident (Ongoing) - A Crazy Plan]
[Reward for watching the drama: Master Driver]
"—What is this thing?"
Connors looked completely bewildered.
Driving Master
[Extremely proficient in driving any type of vehicle in the world]
The system provides an explanation, but Connors felt it was somewhat redundant, since the content of the reward was self-explanatory.
But the question is, as someone who has never kept any vehicle in his possession for more than a day, is the "Master Driver's" ability a bit too useless?
Connors sighed. He knew that his future self would definitely unlock flight-related abilities through the gossip system, so there was really no need for the "Master Pilot" title to exist.
However, when he got out of the bathtub, dried himself off, and returned to the bedroom, he saw Harley Quinn sprawled out on the big bed.
"Who says driving skills have to be used on vehicles?"
Connors reached out his large hand, and a series of actions jolted Harley Quinn awake, leaving her utterly astonished:
"You went to Japan to work as a male escort and came back?"
"—?" Connors couldn't understand how his master-level driving skills had turned him into a gigolo.
"Your technique—." Harley Quinn couldn't finish her sentence; she was lost in the overwhelming, surging sensations.
"Dude, you haven't said a word the whole way. Are you playing dead?"
"Listen to me, Gotham Forest is very dangerous. You might need a weapon to defend yourself. This pistol will only cost you two hundred dollars."
The driver slowed down, skillfully gripped the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other, pulled a handgun from his pocket and pointed it at the passenger in the back seat.
"However, bullets cost 1,000 each, and are sold in sets of 10."
The passengers in the back seat remained silent the entire way, and even now they haven't uttered a single word.
The driver was a little puzzled. Was this guy drunk? But he hadn't smelled any alcohol on the way here.
He stopped the car and turned his body to the back, but thanks to Connors's little trick that had kept him upright all the way, his hooked nose finally went limp and collapsed.
"Ah~!"
On the edge of Gotham Forest at night, a terrifying howl startled countless birds into flapping their wings.
Poison Ivy was walking gracefully through Gotham Forest when she was startled by the sudden shout.
But the screams were not followed up, so Poison Ivy did not go to check.
Protected by the plants she "awakened" with the Green of the Myriad Things, Gotham Forest is safe even when she leaves the forest, so she doesn't need to worry about anyone running into her territory and causing a ruckus.
Harley Quinn left Gotham Forest last night and went to Arkham Asylum, which is not far from here.
Poison Ivy decided to go there as well, partly to find out if Harley Quinn's plan to thwart the Joker had succeeded, and partly to get a car.
Arkham Asylum is located deep in the suburbs of Gotham. After getting a vehicle, she no longer needed to walk all the way to Gotham, which made things much easier.
As for her purpose in going to Gotham, it had nothing to do with Harley Quinn; she was going to find the guy who had caused her strange sensations, namely Connors.
This guy, who causes strange reactions in her body whenever she gets close and uses his abilities, is someone she cannot tolerate continuing to be active in Gotham City, whether she kills him or turns him into a plant.
For their first concert, Scarecrow and Penguin took turns causing trouble.
The second invitation to the circus performance was sabotaged by the agent, directly leading to the deaths of the Graysons.
This is the third time, and Xuexi specially invited a renowned magician to perform to make up for the loss to the audience in the previous two performances.
Connors was very curious whether this time he would cause some trouble again.
To prevent accidents, all stage facilities were checked repeatedly by security personnel, and no unauthorized personnel were allowed to approach.
This time, Connors didn't continue scattering seeds around the stage. Instead, she used her connections to fill the area around the stage with large ornamental trees.
The last time Xuexi sat with Connors, she witnessed the large net of plants that suddenly appeared on stage, attempting to save the Graysons, so she did not refuse Connors' request.
"It was even executed quite well—"
Connors looked at a banyan tree in the corner of the stage, which was over ten meters tall, with intertwined roots and a shade area estimated to be twenty or thirty square meters, and muttered to himself.
Besides the area around the stage, the aisles, edges, and corners of the audience seating area —
Plants are placed everywhere, wherever there is an empty space.
With these plants present, Connors was confident that as long as there were no large-scale firearms, magic, or other interference, he could rescue people immediately even if an accident occurred on the stage.
"Does a magic show really need so many trees?" Harley Quinn asked, sitting in the audience, almost feeling like she was still in Gotham City.
"Yes," Connors nodded.
"Okay, whatever, I'm getting ready to perform. Remember to keep your eyes wide open—" Harley Quinn skipped away, her twin ponytails swaying in the air, leaving Connors completely bewildered.
Judging from Harley's relaxed and cheerful appearance, did Sheryl really invite Harley to perform magic?
What's the performance? Randomly killing a lucky audience member?
