Chapter 11 - If you continue, you will be charged

On the left was bread, on the right was a steamed bun.

The bread was soft and large, the steamed bun was small but more elastic.

These two were both foods Connors liked to eat, and if he really had to choose one as the main dish, it would indeed be a difficult decision.

Cindy Moon looked determined to win, and after a brief struggle, she decisively extended her finger and shot out Silk, seemingly intending to tie up Harley Quinn.

Harley Quinn was no pushover either; she reached down her calf, pulled out a hacksaw blade:

"Hehe, sister, how about half for each of us?"

After speaking, Harley Quinn held the hacksaw blade and gestured towards Connors, but her eyes were fixed on Cindy Moon:

"Do you think I should saw vertically or horizontally? Oh, it's so hard to choose... Or maybe I'll take the insides, and you can have the shell?"

According to a normal person's thinking, upon hearing Harley Quinn's words, they should 'wave their hands repeatedly, panicking,' but Cindy Moon actually began to examine Connors from head to toe, appearing to be deep in thought.

No, sis, don't take a joke seriously, okay?

Connors was caught between the two, the dazzling stage lights above his head flashed wildly, and the celebrity singer in front was singing and dancing, finally making him regret why he had come to this concert venue.

Change the scene to a closed room, tie himself up, and then the new Saw movie could begin filming... Connors thought with a touch of dark humor.

His Spider-Sense clearly detected that neither Harley nor Cindy had ill intentions, so Connors let them be, but it would be even harder for him to get away now.

"No, I have a feeling I would be very sad if he died," Cindy Moon said to Harley Quinn with a serious expression after thinking for a long time.

This was the first sentence Connors had heard her speak since he met her.

Harley Quinn's voice was clear like spring water, while Cindy Moon's voice was like a warm spring breeze.

"Xiao Pa, can I kill her?" Harley Quinn said the terrifying words with the same harmless appearance.

"You can't kill me," Cindy Moon said confidently.

"I can do anything for Xiao Pa," Harley Quinn began to show her cards.

"Who is Xiao Pa?... Oh, it's Connors Patterson. I can too. We both have Spider-Sense. Genetically, I have an advantage over you," Cindy Moon wasn't to be outdone.

"I've used my mouth."

"I have too."

Connors hadn't told Cindy his name, but in the comics, she was a high-IQ genius, and living in the same Gotham City, he didn't think his name could be hidden from her.

Watching Harley Quinn and Cindy Moon go head-to-head, showing their cards.

According to the plot of some comics, the rest would basically require payment... Connors even felt a little anticipation for the two's development, but in his Spider-Sense, an unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped him.

Cindy Moon reacted even faster than him; almost at the same moment Connors sensed the danger, Cindy had already flown away.

—Not running away, but heading straight for the various ventilation outlets located in the enclosed concert venue.

One airtight web after another firmly sealed the ventilation outlets, but there were thousands of outlets, large and small, in the Stadium that could hold ten thousand people.

At Cindy Moon's speed, it would take her about half an hour to finish.

But his Spider-Sense had already detected danger, indicating that the crisis was imminent, and there was no time.

Cindy Moon also quickly realized that sealing the ventilation outlets was too slow, so she swung with Silk and jumped from the air to Connors' side:

"Connors, I can feel someone is planning to release toxic gas in here through the ventilation system. My Spider-Sense is warning me that this person is very dangerous!"

There were only a few people in Gotham City who liked to use toxic gas.

"Are there any characteristics? Your Spider-Sense should be able to perceive the person's appearance," Connors remembered Silk having shown this ability in the comics.

"Wearing an ugly mask, with longer limbs than a normal person, driving a tank truck..." Cindy Moon described.

"That's enough," Connors interrupted Cindy Moon's further description and exchanged a glance with Harley Quinn:

"Scarecrow!"

"Damn it, I knew I should have kept him locked up back then!" Harley Quinn said, slightly annoyed.

When she helped Joker escape from Arkham Asylum before, she had also released Scarecrow, Penguin, Bane, and other imprisoned criminals.

"Too bad I don't have Batman's contact information..." What Connors was thinking at the moment was different from Harley Quinn.

The event was about to happen right in front of him; Connors was definitely going to witness this spectacle, but he had no intention of personally dealing with Scarecrow.

Dealing with criminals was something best left to the Super Heroes, but before Batman successfully stopped Scarecrow, Connors didn't mind buying some time for him.

"The abilities I currently possess are Intermediate Mixed Martial Arts, Spider-Sense, 1% Green, Grandmaster of Unlocking."

"Among these abilities, theoretically, Spider-Sense can perfectly counter it, but I don't have 100% certainty."

"Scarecrow came in a tank truck? A whole truck full of Fear Toxin?"

The time for thought was very short. Connors pondered for a moment, then said to Cindy Moon:

"Cindy, I need you to do me a favor and take me to the path Scarecrow must take to get here."

Cindy Moon hummed in agreement, shot Silk from her fingertips, wrapped one arm around Connors, and prepared to soar away together.

Harley Quinn on the side became anxious:

"Wait, what about me?"

His plan did seem to require someone to attract Scarecrow's attention... Connors nodded to Cindy, and then the three were bound together by Silk, soaring over the audience.

If it were just Cindy Moon alone, she could arrive and leave without a trace, unnoticed by others.

But now there were three people hanging in the air, extremely conspicuous, and the concert lighting crew seemed to have gone crazy, aiming the spotlights at the three in the air.

So wherever Connors and the other two soared, the applause, whistles, and screams followed, leaving Xue Xi, the singer "Ice Moon Flower Snow" who had been singing perfectly on stage, completely bewildered.

Then, she quickly recognized Harley Quinn. Out of curiosity, a crystal-clear ice sculpture gradually transformed into her likeness, while Xue Xi herself quietly left the stage and followed behind the three.

One street away from the enclosed Stadium, Connors was lowered by Silk, with Harley Quinn accompanying him.

"Someone is following us..." Connors warned.

Cindy Moon nodded, then leaped away. She returned three minutes later, holding a woman tied up with Silk.

She had a beautiful face, a hot figure, half-black, half-white hair, and pupils of the same color. It was none other than the celebrity singer currently holding the concert—Xue Xi.

Connors was stunned: "Why did you tie her up and bring her here?"

Tying her up was one thing, but the key was the way she was tied up—why did it look a little familiar?
