Chapter 28 The Beautiful Kiss in Gotham Botanical Garden

Gotham Botanical Garden, this building located at the junction of the central city and the old city, has always been inaccessible.After all, the botanical garden is not a popular scenic spot, especially since it was closed three years ago due to "closed business for renovation", it has been even less crowded all year round.

But in Gotham, this kind of place could easily become a hiding place for homeless people or some criminals.

However, this botanical garden does not even dare to approach these people, because there are urban legends that there is a terrible monster hidden in this botanical garden, and it will come out from time to time to pick people up and devour them. This is confirmed.

Jacques knew very well that most of the urban legends in Gotham City were true, and there was indeed a monster living in seclusion here—a dangerous and beautiful monster.

And he came here just to meet this "monster" lady.

"Hey!"

Dinah's training in the past few days has not been fruitless. Jacques easily climbed over the locked gate and entered the botanical garden.It didn't take long for him to see what he was looking for—after skirting the vine-grown main campus, he saw what appeared to be pink lights in a greenhouse from afar.

After taking a deep breath, Jacques walked cautiously towards the greenhouse, paying full attention to his feet.

When he was about to reach the door of the greenhouse, Jacques suddenly felt something wrong with the touch under his feet. After stopping immediately, he saw a small wild flower under his feet through his powerful night vision ability.

Jacques smiled slightly. Fortunately, he didn't step on it. He had already done his homework, and he must not destroy any plant here—whether it was intentional or unintentional.

So just avoid the flower and you won't be offended—huh?

Jacques moved his foot away, but just as he was about to land, he found that there seemed to be a small flower at the landing position after moving—to be precise, the little flower just now seemed to have changed its place.

Jacques narrowed his eyes slightly, and he tentatively moved his ankle, only to find that this little flower also began to move rapidly towards his expected landing point.

not good!

At the same time that this thought came into his mind, Jacques immediately jumped back, and at the next moment, with a whoosh, a thick vine broke through the ground from Xiaohua's position just now and rushed straight up.

"Too bad, if you stepped on it, it could snap your ankle in an instant—"

A magnetic and seductive voice sounded, and a few thick vines protruded from the greenhouse door like tentacles, and they supported a graceful figure, appearing in front of Jacques.

Through Jacques's extraordinary night vision ability and the pink light in the greenhouse, Jacques can clearly see the whole picture of the woman sitting on the vine.

She has long flame-like bright red hair hanging over her bare shoulders, with such a coquettish and beautiful appearance, even Jacques, who is used to beauties because of Harley Quinn and Dinah, can't help but lose his mind for a while.

But what is more eye-catching than her appearance is her dress, which can no longer be described as sexy.

All the "clothing" on her body seems to be made of plants, whether it is the leaves that only cover her proud double peaks and triangular secrets, or the young green vines that wrap around her protruding and devilish figure.

However, unlike her blood-pulsing appearance, the way she looked at Jacques was surprisingly cold—even with obvious hostility.

shhhhh!

Before Jacques could speak, the two thick vines beside her whipped towards Jacques in an instant.

"Wait! You're Ivy, right? I'm Harry's friend—I'm not hostile"

Jacques dodged the vines at a critical moment, but Poison Ivy seemed to have no intention of stopping. Instead, she summoned two new vines to block Jacques' escape route with a net.

"Your appearance is the greatest hostility. Although I don't know how you were resurrected, you scum who has hurt Harley countless times can be turned into fertilizer for flowers here!"

Bang!
Four vines smashed towards Jacques' position at the same time, and even the soil on the ground was lifted more than one meter high by the whipping of the vines.

But Poison Ivy's eyes widened in an instant, with an expression of disbelief, because she found that the vines that had been attacking from all sides and had nowhere to hide had hit nothing, and Jacques disappeared in front of her eyes in an instant like a magic trick.

"Enough, Ivy, I don't have time to play with you slowly. But I can tell you clearly that I am not a clown, and I am here for Harley-to get what she promised you."

Poison Ivy's expression immediately froze, because she felt her lower abdomen under her chest being embraced from behind by a strong arm, and at the same time, she could clearly feel the cold and sharp touch on her neck.

At the critical moment just now, Jacques used deception magic to flash behind Poison Ivy, hugged Poison Ivy with his arms, and put a sharp dagger at her throat.

"How the hell did you do it—wait, why couldn't Harley come over in person, what happened to her?!"

Seeing that Poison Ivy is obviously more concerned about Harley's situation than her own safety.Jacques's heart softened, and with a bang, he threw away the dagger and let go and jumped down.

"This way you should be able to see that I didn't mean to hurt you - as for Harry's matter"

Jacques hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Poison Ivy about the matter that was related to Harley Quinn's safety, so Poison Ivy would definitely stand by Harley's side.

After listening to Jacques' brief description of the ins and outs, Poison Ivy's face was full of worry and anxiety, and she murmured uneasily.

"Before twelve o'clock. No, I have to save Harley quickly, but I can't help it now. Tsk, why is this time?"

Seeing the troubled look on Poison Ivy's face, Jacques didn't plan to wait any longer considering the time constraints, so he tentatively and cautiously asked:
"If it's inconvenient for you to leave here, as long as you give me what Harry asked you for. I promise you that Harry will come back safely—"

"What does Harley want? You mean?"

Poison Ivy raised her head, squinted her eyes and looked at Jacques strangely.

"You're going to use those things to save Harry?"

"Yes, with that I'm sure I can-"

"no!"

Poison Ivy shouted resolutely, and at the same time approached Jacques with the help of the vines, her face was very ugly.

"It's a very high-concentration and deadly poison. If you use it as a weapon, it will definitely affect Harley."

Hearing this, Jacques was overjoyed, he finally confirmed that his guess was correct.Harley knew that after inhaling the poison, she could increase her physical strength for a short time, so she entrusted Poison Ivy to help make the poison and hand it to Jacques just in case.

But it was obvious that Poison Ivy had misunderstood the use of poison. Just as Jacques was about to explain to her further, he suddenly felt something cold wrap around his feet.

"By the way, I thought of a safer way. According to what you said, the other party intends to exchange you for Harley's safety, right?"

Jacques's heart sank, and he instantly had an ominous premonition.

"If that's the case—then, in order to keep Harry safe, you should obediently obey my order and throw yourself into the trap!"

Before Jacques could react, Poison Ivy suddenly approached him at an extremely close distance, her slender and soft arms wrapped around the back of his head.

In the next instant, Jacques's lips felt a cold, soft and slightly moist touch.
