Is this what Silk is used for?
Watching Xue Xi, the celebrity singer, tied up in a fancy knot by Cindy using a special technique, Connors momentarily didn't know how to react.
Harley Quinn's eyes lit up as she looked at the tied-up Xue Xi, then turned to Cindy Moon:
"How did you tie her up? Teach me!"
As for Xue Xi, who was tied up and suspended in the air, neither Harley nor Cindy bothered to look a second time.
"You..." Connors looked at the celebrity singer, unsure how to handle the situation for a moment, and simply tore off a leaf.
The leaf quickly grew large in his hand, then was crumpled into a ball and stuffed tightly into the celebrity singer Xue Xi's mouth.
To ensure it was sealed tightly, Connors even deliberately left two strings on the ball and tied them behind Xue Xi's head.
The bitter sap from the leaf made Xue Xi's brows furrow, her mouth was stretched uncomfortably, and tears immediately fell.
At this moment, Connors no longer paid attention to her, but quickly leaped to a high position, waiting for Scarecrow's arrival.
Faster than him was Cindy Moon; this girl put on her red mask and rushed out with exceptional agility, leaving Connors no time to stop her.
Harley Quinn threw away the hacksaw blade she had been holding. Seeing that both Connors and Cindy had disappeared, she turned her head again, and the celebrity singer Xue Xi, who had been tied up in a fancy knot with Silk, was also gone, leaving only a patch of frost still emitting cold air.
In a daze, Harley Quinn seemed to see a group of Batman, "gone in a flash."
Soon, Harley Quinn adjusted her mood because she saw Scarecrow driving the tanker getting closer and closer, less than a hundred meters away from the Stadium.
During the brief time she, Connors, and Cindy were suspended in the air just now, Connors had already informed them of his plan.
Harley Quinn was responsible for attracting Scarecrow's attention, and Cindy Moon was responsible for dealing with any potential helpers.
What Connors had to do was relatively simple, just two words: Lock it.
Lock the tanker's tank interface, lock the car doors, lock everywhere that can be locked.
As the Grandmaster of Unlocking, Connors not only knew how to pick locks but could also use special methods to permanently lock certain special locks, and could even easily destroy any lock, making it impossible to open again.
He wanted to watch the drama between Batman and Scarecrow, and this matter might even be related to Joker. He also wanted to intervene but not appear as a hero.
Based on this, Connors did not plan to use his other abilities such as fighting or manipulating plants.
The plan was perfect; it just depended on how it was executed.
Just as Cindy predicted with her powerful Spider-Sense, Scarecrow drove the tanker into the alley next to the Stadium, and then a long hose was lowered from above, indicating someone was waiting up there.
"Hi~ Mr. Scarecrow." Harley Quinn also showed herself as planned to attract Scarecrow's attention.
Seeing him in person was much more intuitive than in comics or movies. Scarecrow was nearly two meters tall, with long arms and legs, wearing a burlap hood over his face. He was covered in vials, hoses, and braces, with some hoses connected to the tips of his fingers, each ending in a sharp needle.
"Harley~ Quinn?" Scarecrow mused, not using Harley Quinn's name as a psychological consultant at Arkham Asylum, but the new name she announced to all of Gotham in front of the camera at the reservoir that day.
"Wow, Mr. Scarecrow, I'm so grateful, besides Xiao Pa, you're the first person to call me that~"
Harley Quinn said with exaggerated gestures.
At this moment, Scarecrow had recovered from his thoughts and asked:
"How did you know I was here?"
Connors had only arranged for Harley to buy time, without giving specific instructions; everything depended on Harley's improvisation.
Hearing Scarecrow's question, she knew that if her answer was wrong, she would receive a dose of Fear Toxin.
"Pew~" Harley gestured with her hand, then pointed to the enclosed Stadium and said, "It's rare for so many people to gather in Gotham. If we don't make some big news, it wouldn't fit our status."
Hearing Harley's words, Scarecrow nodded in agreement:
"That's right, but ultimately, who succeeds depends on individual ability. Joker was eliminated early, so my only opponent is Batman. However, you're wrong about one thing, Harley, 'us people'? You're just a minion by Joker's side."
"So that's how it is~ Then, esteemed Lord Scarecrow, who else is participating in this operation?" Harley Quinn smiled exceptionally brightly.
"Bane is four blocks away, Penguin the dwarf only knows how to rely on his subordinates, I got ahead of all of them..."
Scarecrow said, reaching out to catch the hose lowered by his subordinate from the tall building, and walked to the back of the tanker to connect it.
When he found the tanker's interface locked, he remembered the key was inside the vehicle and had to return to the driver's seat.
Harley Quinn was nearby, and Scarecrow didn't dare turn his back to her. At this moment, he was sitting in the driver's seat, just about to get the key out, when the car door was kicked shut by Harley.
"Damn it!"
Scarecrow cursed and reached out to open the car door, but it didn't budge.
The door on the other side also couldn't be opened, and even the car windows seemed welded shut.
Realizing something was wrong, Scarecrow immediately stepped on the gas pedal, preparing to leave.
But the brake pedal was locked, and no matter how loud the engine roared, the car wouldn't move an inch.
He wanted to pull off the steering wheel to smash the car window, but the steering wheel was also locked.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He elbowed the window three times in a row, but not even a crack appeared in the glass. Scarecrow even saw his subordinates being hoisted into the air one by one, wailing like ghosts.
"Who is it?"
Scarecrow wasn't afraid of being caught; what he feared was that all his preparations were useless, that he was locked in the car by himself, and then captured by Batman. If that got out, he'd probably be laughed to death by others.
The thought that this information couldn't get out flashed through his mind, and Scarecrow immediately released his Fear Toxin in the driver's cabin, attempting to spread it outside through the car's air conditioning system.
However, the air conditioning was also locked.
Anything related to "lock" was fixed in place; there wasn't even a button that could be pressed in the car.
Just as he was at his wit's end, a handsome and imposing man appeared beside the tanker like an Angel. Scarecrow's lifeline had arrived:
"Need a lock picked?"
"Yes!" Scarecrow shouted urgently. Every second delayed increased the possibility of Batman appearing and the possibility of others succeeding. He couldn't delay any longer.
"Five million US dollars." The angelic man said.
"What?" Scarecrow didn't understand immediately.
Connors cleared his throat, ensuring his words were clear and distinct:
"Lockpicking Master, five million US dollars per time. Transfer the money first."
