As the saying goes, Gotham has three treasures, rainy days, Batman, and Arkham lunatics running around.

Maybe the universal theory that good people get rewarded has never worked well for Fiona.After she came out of Green's house, she always felt that someone was following her secretly.Although she has a lot of experience in being followed, she has been followed countless times by the orange cat from the kitchen to the storage room alone with cat food in her pocket, but this time the feeling is the same as before. completely different feeling -

There is more than one person following her, and they are definitely not good people who are easy to get along with.Just being followed so simply, she could feel a burst of chill rising up and penetrating into the cracks in her bones, which almost made her sway on the street on the spot.

Fiona felt that it was not an option to be followed like this all the time, and the presence of the eyes glued to her back all the time was quite obvious. If you want to use an analogy, it would be like a frozen knife in the cold winter months. The breezy weather in Gotham was working wonders right now, making her feel quite out of place.So when she was about to return to her flower shop, Fiona finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the seemingly empty street behind her without looking back:

"Excuse me, how long are you two going to stay with me? I'm going home soon, if I continue like this, I will come here uninvited. A lady would not do such an impolite thing."

Her voice echoed in the street behind her, and even stirred up a small echo in the light mist.And it was on this seemingly empty street that a sudden response came from the roofs of the buildings on both sides of the road.Although this voice belongs to a young woman in terms of timbre, the maturity beyond her age makes her charming and difficult to get close to:

"Good evening, little girl, how did you find me?"

Fiona raised her eyes in the direction where the voice came from, and she understood why she couldn't see her:

The figure of the man was hidden in a clump of unusually tall plants.Not only that, but in Fiona's perception, the breath of people and plants is completely different. Normally speaking, as long as she starts to follow Fiona, she can be located by Fiona's precise perception, but this person Not only covered his tracks with so many vines, but also...

Her breath, from the inside out, from bone to flesh and blood, has become the breath of plants.If you don't know in advance that this is a person, even if Fiona tries her best to perceive it, she can only vaguely feel "ah, this group of plants is active. It seems that the photosynthesis during the day and the respiration at night are going well. ".

However, when a group of overactive plants followed Fiona, no matter how firmly she believed her feelings would not be wrong, Fiona had to bow to science to some extent, suspecting that the group of plants might not be plants, It's a human being who has changed his breath in some way. After all, plants don't grow their own legs and run around.

— Let’s make another digression.While having such a large clump of vines on a roof is pretty unusual in itself, but this is Gotham!Not to mention that there is a large group of vines growing on the roof, one day you saw a clown sticking to your window with that pale painted face with a bloody mouth and saying hello to you passionately, you also want to Make full mental preparations, stay steady, keep calm, drill the bottom of the bed to call the police, and quickly turn out the prepared suicide note and put it in a conspicuous place in one go.

At this moment, the large group of vines slowly opened, and a person walked out from inside.

Sure enough, the words are true, this is a very attractive, quite beautiful woman, but with a sense of inexplicable horror.Her appearance is a typical European and American Caucasian appearance, with a high nose, deep eyes, and well-defined outlines. Against the backdrop of that long, flame-like hair, her skin is even more abnormally white, even faintly. It's kind of green.Her lips and eyelids are bright green, which echoes the same green dress, with a sense of fatal temptation and danger, and has the unique charm of an adult woman that Fiona can't have in a short time. It belongs to the demeanor of mature women.

This is the relatively mild "Poison Ivy" of Gotham's gang of lunatics, the world-renowned eco-terrorist, Pamela Eisley.

Fiona didn't answer Poison Ivy's question directly, and continued to ask:

"Obviously there are two people following me, but who is the other one?"

"What are you talking about?" Poison Ivy still wanted to tease Fiona. After all, she is an extreme naturalist protector. She will return a hundredfold to those who harm plants, but she will treat this flower shop well. The little girl who took care of the plants didn't feel bad, after all, not every flower shop owner has such a leisurely way of watering the shop's showers and telling jokes: "I'm the only one following you."

"No, it must be more than that." Fiona categorically refuted the statement of Poison Ivy: "I can feel the existence of another person, and she is also a woman just like you." In order to enhance the credibility, she Decided to say a little more about what I perceived:

"This is a blonde with some other color dyed on her hair. Is that red? She still had a good job, but she gave up for a man." She thought for a while, in order to strengthen her words He also casually drew a tarot from the black velvet bag hanging on his wrist, and it was the god of death who was right:

"The man himself is the embodiment of chaos and evil, and he has almost died once. It is this near-death experience that made him what he is now."

These few words of hers really hit the nail on the head.Others don't know, but Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn know exactly who she is talking about, and what she said is really accurate:

The clown was just an ordinary person when he first debuted as a criminal. After being forced into an abandoned chemical pool by Batman, he almost died. After going through the ghost gate, he became what he is today. He has no scruples and regards Batman as his lifelong enemy; and Harley Quinn did have a good job before becoming the Harley Quinn.As a psychiatrist in Arkham, she had a stable life and considerable income, and crime was so far away for her.But when she became the clown's psychotherapist and fell in love with the clown, her originally peaceful life was dragged all the way like a mad dog that had been let loose, and could never come back.

If Fiona was a native of Gotham, based on this information, she could have deduced who the two were, but unfortunately she was not.But even so, the vague information she uttered was very clear, and it was enough to shock people.

Harley Quinn, AKA Harley Quinn suddenly had a premonition that if she didn't show up again, the girl in front of her, holding a cat and dragging a box, looked quite harmless but made people feel like she didn't want to offend her would have blown her old shit out of her head, so she hastened to speak before Fiona could speak again:

"Then can you guess my name?"

Fiona lowered her eyes and sighed softly.

Her appearance clearly bears the characteristics of the Slavs. Her eye sockets are deep and her eyes are big. Even if she is bare-faced at the moment, there are faint traces of black color at the end of her eyes, which makes her feel more inexplicably mixed with melancholy and elegance. up.This kind of melancholy is not the melancholy that a girl in adolescence has to express her feelings forcibly when she has nothing to do, nor is it an emotional and petty melancholy of "why doesn't he like me when I love him so much"—this is This feeling is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.

If you put it a little more mysteriously, it means that you have clearly seen the fate, understood everything in the world, and predicted all the future trends, but you can never express it in your mouth. At most, others will only be half-believing and not being trusted or understood. Caused melancholy and sadness.

She put the tarot cards in her hand into the black flannel bag, looked up into Harry's eyes and asked:

"You don't love yourself, how can I know your name?"

The Harley Quinn was silent for a while, she didn't know whether she had been told something or was stabbed in the scar, and finally she also walked out from the shadow of the building.As Fiona perceived, she was indeed a blond girl, dyed a little turquoise and red at the ends, and messed up her otherwise pretty hair with a kind of wasteful feeling.

And at this moment, the orange cat that Fiona had been hugging finally got impatient, stretched her waist, jumped onto her box lightly and deftly, and bowed to the two notorious women in front of her. Back, a threatening grunting sound came out from the throat, and the fur all over the body exploded, making it more than double its already rather stocky size.

"Oh——" Poison Ivy looked at the orange cat with great interest, and dragged out her voice:

"I'm afraid this cat is heavier than any two cats in Serena's family. You feed it really well."

Fiona was a little confused, after all, she really didn't know who "Selina" was, so she could only follow what Poison Ivy said: "Uh, thank you?"

Before becoming Poison Ivy, Pamela was just an ordinary college student. After becoming like this, she didn't do anything too radical except protecting the environment and caring too much for plants, but Harley It's different, she doesn't have such a good temper as Pamela.Although it is said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black, it is obvious that she has more violent and capricious bad temper around the clown.Just like now, one second, Harley could patiently wait for Pamela and Fiona to exchange greetings, but the next second she would impatiently interrupt Fiona: "Who are you?"

Fiona said in a tactful way: "I'm just a small person who earns a living with a little skill."

"Don't play dumb, my little darlings can hear you!" Poison Ivy sent herself off the roof with vines, and the two blocked Fiona from left to right, tandem and back. On the spot, she raised her bright green lips and said with a smile:

"You are 'Themis'!"

Fiona calmed down instead, because when the distance between them got closer to a certain point, she could perceive more things. For example, now, she didn't feel any malice from the person in front of her. On the contrary, he was more curious, so he calmed down and admitted his name generously: "It's me."

Pamela narrowed her eyes and looked at her: "I just wanted to say 'we are villains with style, and we will never join forces with those politicians with perverted hobbies' to persuade you... But why are you not afraid ?”

The whole set of rhetoric she had prepared was useless, and she was inexplicably disappointed.

"If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it the moment I went out." Fiona shrugged:

"You're not going to follow me all the way and protect me, ma'am."

Needless to say, along the way, Pamela, who was really worrying about Fiona's safety and slandering "Why is she so unaware of self-protection", suddenly fell silent, feeling quite subtle about being poked at the heart of the matter.

At this moment, Harry spoke: "Since you are the most famous 'Themis' among psychics, then you must know divination?"

Fiona nodded: "I will."

Harry smiled at her, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Are tarot cards really that useful? Come on, Themis, let me try. If you count correctly, I promise today will be like It’s like I’ve never seen you before, how is it? Of course, if you’re not sure, nothing will happen, I’ll just invite you to Arkham for a while!”

Before Fiona could say anything, she heard Poison Ivy first retort in disapproval: "You are going too far, dear, do you need to make such a fuss?" She held back the rest of the sentence. into the stomach, did not say:

It's not a good thing that you are becoming more and more like that lunatic clown.

However, although she didn't say these words, at the moment when this thought flashed through Pamela's mind, Fiona suddenly raised her eyes to look at her——

Pamela shuddered.

Even though there was still a distance of more than ten meters between the two of them, Pamela suddenly had a feeling of being seen through, as if her whole body had been turned inside out, like an open book. The book was spread out in front of Fiona for her to read, and under the gaze of those gray eyes, all the secrets could not be hidden.

However, this feeling came and went quickly. After she realized it, Fiona had already responded, lowered her head and began to shuffle the cards. Pamela hesitated for a while before coming over to see the legend What makes the famous "Themis" different from others.

As a result, just looking at it like this, she found something was wrong.

When Pamela was a college student, she was very curious about divination for a while, and had spent a considerable amount of time and money in those divination houses and fortune rooms, so she at least had a certain understanding of the Tarot cards, but The tarot card in Fiona's hand was nothing like any she had ever seen.The tarot cards she sees most often have rich colors on the cards, and the pattern on the back of the cards is dark blue, with patterns of neatly arranged dots and golden stars on it, but the one in Fiona's hand is blue. The cool color of purple is the main one, and the pattern on the back is also different. It is a phase of the moon consisting of a new moon, a full moon and a waning moon:

"Your Tarot is different from what I know."

"There are also many schools of Tarot. This is Pan Werther's White Witchcraft Tarot." Fiona casually explained to the two while shuffling the cards:

"After all, Waite's is too easy to hit the cards."

As a result, the interlacing was like a mountain, and the atmosphere of "oh—" she expected to suddenly realize did not appear, and there was an awkward silence in the air.

This is a headache.Facing Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn who are ignorant and don't know how bad the "collision" is, Fiona patiently substituted the same amount and explained it in a way that most women can understand road:

"One day you were in a good mood and wanted to go shopping, and spent two hours on a full set of makeup, from hair to heels, CPB foundation all the way to the neck, and wearing the latest brand-name clothes, the result As soon as you go out, you find that 90.00% of the women on the street are dressed exactly like you. Think about it, ladies, would you be happy if you bumped into this level of shirts?"

Well, it's much easier to understand now.Pamela and Halle looked at each other and screamed in unison: "NOOOOO!!!!"

——Who the hell can be happy! ! !

"That's right." Fiona shrugged, "I don't want to play cards with others either."

Harley already had a crush on Fiona, after all, her age.When a young man who is still at an immature age shows a maturity that does not match his age, he will basically win a wave of favor, so when she walked over and sat down in front of Fiona, her tone was soft A little bit: "Then what can you measure?"

"I can measure everything, and I know everything." Fiona lowered her eyes and spread out the card array, and opened the first Tarot card——

Queen reversed.

Seeing that Fiona was silent, Harry and Pamela asked one after another:

"What does this card represent?"

"Is this a bad idea?"

This makes people feel very difficult to do.Basically, more than 90.00% of inversions are not good things, let alone this one.If Fiona doesn't tell the truth, it's sorry for her conscience, but if she tells the truth, not only will there be a feeling of meddling with a mouse, but it may also anger Harley Quinn, in short In short, my life is in danger.

"Girl." In the end, Fiona still sighed softly, and tapped the reversed "Queen" in the White Witchcraft Tarot lightly on Harry's chest, with inexplicable sadness in her gray eyes:

"What you entrust right now is not your lover."
