Chapter 17 Looking for Harley Quinn
"Jason Wood, also known as Plant Master, is an out-and-out environmental terrorist. Compared to what he did, Ivy's (Poison Ivy) gardening hobby of turning living people into trees is just like Harley Quinn's diapers, deadly but harmless."
"..."
Chen Tao didn't notice Gordon's expression. As a super American comic fan, his instinct was activated, and he began to constantly reveal the background of the two plant villains.
"The basic power of the green of all things is mainly divided into the [Tree Council] representing trees and the [May Queen] representing vines."
"But the instinct of vines is to be attached and obedient, so the [May Queen] who listens to the [Tree Council] most of the time is often ignored by people. But this does not mean that they have no power."
"You must know that the spokesperson selected by the [Tree Council] is the swamp monster, and the scum like Plant Master is just a low-level agent to make up the number."
"But Poison Ivy is different. She is the representative of the [May Queen] Spokesperson, that is to say, in terms of the essence of power, she is on par with the swamp monster, and superior to low-level agents like the plant master--"
Gordon was stunned by the mess of settings that suddenly came out. He opened his mouth and said like an idiot, "Batman, your information is really... I almost didn't understand you--"
"What? You can't understand such a simple setting? I've explained it so clearly, only a fool can't understand it. "
Chen Tao complained, and then took the stack of information in his hand.
"Ha! I knew it!"
"In order to repay Mother Earth, Plant Master will never do useless work. If he can't do it himself, he will ask Poison Ivy to help. It just so happens that Bane blew up the asylum, so he didn't even have to rob the prison."
Gordon interrupted and said:
"Here I have another thing to tell you. I don't think this detailed dossier can be written by those idiots who gave it to me. But after I matched the above content with the situation we have, I found that it was all true. In fact, many places were investigated very carefully, and many blind spots that even professionals didn't find were found.
Talking about the field he is familiar with, Director Gordon pushed his glasses.
"But this intelligence came too coincidentally. Not only did it provide new evidence and clues, but the report used several methods to prove that only Batman could solve this serious problem. I was even forced to admit that many of the contents written on it were correct-"
"I have to question the motives. ”x2
Batman’s unanimous voice made Gordon feel like he was in sync with his heart, as if he had returned to the golden age when he and Batman Harvey Dent formed an iron triangle and vowed to change the entire Gotham.
Although all these achievements and beauty were shattered into dust as Harvey Dent fell into Two-Face... Damn, why did I think of these?
Gordon quickly put these middle-aged people’s feelings behind him, and then continued:
“And this information is too detailed, such as the character’s posture, attack sequence, and even the escape method, detailed like an accomplice.”
“Maybe it’s an accomplice.” Chen Tao replied: “This attack was carefully planned and well-planned. I don’t believe that these two wooden heads would suddenly become so professional. Excuse me, this is more like an attack plan than an investigation report.”
“And, Master Plant is such a big living tree, you didn’t even discover its existence before?”
“A scientist who has such a terrifying biological weapon, you actually figured out his details after he was tied up for a few days? "
"Is the intelligence network of the Gotham City Police Department really that bad?"
Chen Tao said: "Someone is deliberately deceiving you, just to expose the matter at the right time-"
Batman suddenly paused.
Then immediately-
"I understand." Gordon heard Batman say this.
Oh? Are you going to start reasoning? Gordon's eyes showed a gleam of light.
No matter how many times, reasoning cases with the world's greatest detective Batman is an extreme enjoyment.
Even though he is the chief of the Gotham City Police Department, he is still a humble apprentice in front of a great detective like Batman.
Come on! Batman! Although he is already middle-aged, Gordon still has a feeling of blood boiling, his reasoning soul is burning, longing for a collision of sparks of wisdom, a feast of reasoning!
He heard Batman lower his head and start "reasoning":
"I understand! Bane is not sure that he can defeat me, so they plan to launch other plans to defeat me, but they need time, so they have to find something for me to do so that I don't have time to keep biting their group.
"This report must have come from Bane's men [Cavemen]. Maybe he helped to plan this whole thing, and the purpose of Plant Master and Poison Ivy is also very obvious. Using biological weapons? Too low, they captured the botanist alive, and they must want to green the entire earth!"
"I understand! Plant Master must want to replicate the birth process of the swamp monster on everyone on the earth, and then turn all the people on the entire planet into walking trees, and his plan must have gone wrong, resulting in the temporary transformation of others, but it will soon turn into pus and blood-"
"So they need scientists!"
"It's obvious that they must be planning their evil mission in the Slaughter Swamp outside Gotham!"
"So that's it! I've gradually understood everything! No one knows villains better than me!"
"?"
Gordon was a little suspicious. He opened his mouth, then took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.
Are we reading the same information?
How did you come to this conclusion?
What is the basis? What is the reason?
"Obvious"?
The reason is of course because Chen Tao has read the original comics.
Looking at the decades of comic history of the character Plant Master, every time he appears, he says "My Mother Earth!" and then starts to get horny for the earth, and every time he does something similar, he is beaten by Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing...
Any story that has something to do with the green of all things always has to pull out Plant Master Jack Wood to whip his corpse. Anyway, he is a walking tree and it's hard for him to die.
As long as you see his behavior pattern more often, you can almost recite it by heart.
But Chen Tao soon realized that he couldn't explain why he knew so much.
So, he could only make up a nonsense: "Human intuition is a trait that cannot be mastered through learning, and it is also my most effective weapon."
Don't ask, just ask intuition.
Gordon couldn't help but stand in awe after hearing this. Finally stopped acting? I said that Batman's amazing reasoning in the past was not something that normal people could think of. I always thought it was magic, but you always lied to me that it was reasoning!
Chen Tao pondered for a while and found that this matter had a lot of potential.
In fact, even if Bane didn't try to delay him, he would never fight with Bane right now. From Bane's point of view, Batman seemed to be awesome and good at fighting, and now he had exposed his ability to transform that they had not discovered during their initial intelligence work. His face was full of invincibility.
But only Chen Tao knew that he was a weakling now. The big green dinosaur may have some fighting power, but Bane is a veritable martial arts master. After using Titan Venom, his maximum physical strength will exceed 90 tons. If he is willing to give up his brain and IQ, this number will become 120.
So Bane doesn't want to fight Batman now, and why would Chen Tao want to? Chen Tao didn't even think about fighting with Bane himself. If he can solve it with money, why must he do it himself?
Bane plans to use Plant Master and Poison Ivy to trip him up, which is exactly what he wants. Superpowers like Poison Ivy Ivy, who is rare among Gotham villains, are naturally on Chen Tao's list of allies.
As an avid fan of comics, Chen Tao dares to say that Ivy's stomach worms don't understand Poison Ivy as well as he does, and Bane's behavior is simply giving him help for free.
But now the problem is here.
The Massacre Swamp is so big, where are Poison Ivy and Plant Master?
This time Chen Tao was really at his wits' end. He was just a comic book reader, not Wei Banxian who set up a stall at the intersection of Gotham to tell fortunes.
He could guess the general behavior plan of the villain based on his huge comic book reading volume, and it was impossible to guess more detailed points.
But Chen Tao knew that there was someone who knew, and he murmured:
"I have a plan, I am sure, I have a damn good plan!"
"We need Harley Quinn, the former Harley Quinn, the humanoid guide of Gotham City villains, a special weapon that increases damage to the Joker, and Poison Ivy's best friend and super nemesis. Only she can find her!"
And he happened to know how to find Harley Quinn.
