The Death Knell

"Kidnapping..." Barry had a troubled look on his face. This word didn't sound like a good word.

"Well, to put it another way, it is to impose restrictions on their personal freedom for the sake of the survival of the world." Su Ming thought for a while and reorganized the language, but the actual behavior did not intend to change.

Bliss nodded first, supervision, this is possible, this is what she did for Gotham City.

"Sounds better, thank you." Barry sighed helplessly.

Su Ming clapped his hands and asked Cindy to continue to rest here. It would take time for the injuries and toxins in her body to be overcome. Next, it was only him, Barry and Batgirl who acted together.

"Then Barry, when we're full, we'll hit the road and go to Gotham's flower market first."

"Okay, let's go."

Barry picked up Su Ming and Bliss and rushed out of the Batcave door. In the Speed ​​Force, Bliss guided the direction, and the three of them soon arrived at an area densely populated by flower shops.

It was now past six o'clock in the morning, but there was no sign of dawn at all. Dark clouds obscured everything, and a storm swept across the city.

It was still dark on the street. After the three of them escaped from the Speed ​​Force, they were all soaked in water above their knees. The heavy rain washed away every inch of their uniforms.

"This is the place with the highest concentration of flower shops in Gotham, and Poison Ivy often appears nearby." Bliss led a few people to a street, where they could see several huge greenhouses behind each shop. , it looks like a botanical garden inside, but wind and rain damaged some of the ceilings.

"Speaking of Poison Ivy, Cindy actually received one of the first missions. It was the Rigoletto who sent a message to you to play with. When she asks next time, can you prove that we brought the message? Cindy is still waiting for her. Where's the money?" Su Ming kicked open a store door, and there was a vast ocean inside. Everything was soaked in the water, and there were a lot of debris floating on the water.

"Rigoletto better behave now, I don't have time for her."

Bliss was noncommittal and followed into the store. She began to take money out of her belt and put it under the cash register as compensation.

"What do those flowers look like?" Barry asked Su Ming. Dazzling flowers and plants filled every corner of the room, and soft branches even hung from the ceiling.

"It has white flowers and black roots. I can't tell you exactly, but there is a brand in the flower shop. You can look at the name on the flower pot. Snowdrop is it. White flower and green onion are also another name. It may also be written directly as Molu."

Even if Su Ming had seen him before, it was only a two-dimensional image in the comics. Who knows what he looks like in reality?

He and Bliss both had night vision equipment. In the huge flower shop, the three of them waded through the water to find some, and finally found some in the greenhouse.

Barry looked at the flowerpot Su Ming was holding, touched the leaves, and even came over to smell it: "It's actually quite pretty, but it doesn't have much fragrance. Instead, it looks a bit like... green onions."

Su Ming shrugged: "We need to eat these plants before meeting Circe. I hope you like the taste of onions."

Bliss's attention was not on this. She asked Su Ming: "You said it can break witchcraft, do you mean it in general?"

"To be precise, it's the witchcraft in the myth of Olympus. I'm afraid it doesn't work on African voodoo." Su Ming picked up two pots of flowers. There were a few scattered flowers in them, which were enough.

"The Vayne Group will invest in cultivating this plant. If it is indeed useful, it may be used in the future."

Su Ming walked out, shrugged and said easily: "You'd better hope it works. If it doesn't work, we are really seeking death by going to see Circe."

Barry sighed. As a young man with technology in the new era, he didn't believe in magic, witches or anything like that before. Even if he becomes the Flash, his enemies are almost always physicists or engineers, and that all depends on science.

It wasn't until he joined the Justice League and met Diana's enemies several times that he discovered who her opponents were.

Mythical creatures are everywhere, there are countless types of magic and witchcraft, both in heaven and on earth, and there are all kinds of vicious curses.

He didn't like a hodgepodge of things he couldn't understand.

"Where are we going next?" He scratched the top of his head and asked Su Ming. After several collaborations, Barry had become accustomed to listening to Su Ming's instructions.

"Go to the territory of the Clown Gang. The Poison Ivy of this world is there. I still need some of her venom." Su Ming had a good habit of closing the door casually, so he pushed the flower shop door back together.

Barry didn't say much, the lightning wrapped the three of them and disappeared directly.

Returning to the circus site again, the corpses on the ground seemed to have been completely submerged in water. Su Ming handed the flowerpot to Bliss.

"You wait downstairs. They probably won't be too happy to see you."

Bliss took the flower pot expressionlessly and walked under the eaves on one side. She was not afraid of rain, but the flowers would be broken by heavy rain. Su Ming asked Barry to take him upstairs, but of course he inevitably saw the corpses strewn in the building.

"Did you do it?" Barry looked at him with disgust. Deathstroke actually took him back to the crime scene. This...

"What do you think?" Su Ming pushed open the door of the ballroom. Harley and Ivy's carnival seemed to be over. At least the music and dazzling lights had stopped.

Opening the door, I found that on a huge circus trampoline in the depths, Harley and Ivy were hugging each other, sleeping soundly.

Perhaps it was due to the heat after drinking, they didn't cover anything, and a large area of ​​white and tender skin was exposed, and their limbs were intertwined. Harley was still smiling, not knowing what she was dreaming about.

Maybe Harley will get drunk, but Poison Ivy will never get drunk. The only chlorophyll in her body is venom. She is a veritable 'vegetative'. Alcohol is like a nutrient solution for her.

"Ivy, I know you noticed me." Su Ming approached the bedside and said to Harley, who was holding her in her arms.

As expected, Ivy opened her eyes. For plants, it didn't make much difference whether she slept or not. She didn't shy away from showing her curves in front of the two of them. She turned over and struck a seductive pose. Barry subconsciously swallowed He was drooling and didn't know where to put his eyes, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Why are you back? Are you planning to join our carnival?" Poison Ivy smiled and winked.

Su Ming took off his helmet to show that he had no malice. He shook his head: "No, I need your help. Give me some of your charming venom."

"Oh? Why should I help you?" Poison Ivy moved her waist and sat up, with several vines arranging her hair.

"There are about 500,000 plant species on the earth. Even if the world is flooded, some plants will survive. However, marine plants only account for 2% of the total plant species. Now there is a chance to save the other 98%. All it takes is your venom."

Su Ming, who had recovered a large amount of Slade's memories, opened his mouth and spoke a long list of data. As a botanist, Poison Ivy should know that what he said was true.

Ivy tilted her head, looked at Su Ming, then at Barry, and finally nodded.

"Well, you can convince me, the more plants, the better."

She stuck out her pink tongue, licked her lips gently, and moved them in circles seductively. Her big eyes flickered at Su Ming, as if she was expecting something.

Su Ming was not affected at all. He took out his kettle from the bag on his leg and handed it over. Ivy rolled her eyes at him charmingly, as if she was complaining that he didn't understand the style, but she still stretched out a vine to take it.

"...Okay." She put the kettle under her lips, and a kind of pink saliva dripped into the kettle along her wriggling tongue, but she stared at Su Ming, as if to hint something, But Su Ming was unmoved, so she had no choice but to sigh and use the vine to return the kettle to Su Ming.

"How long does it last?" Su Ming screwed on the cap and fixed it on his lap again.

Poison Ivy moved a little, leaning back slightly to let the vines support her, intentionally or unintentionally assuming a sultry pose. At this time, Harley seemed to feel something, and fumbled around the bed with her little hands a few times, and finally hugged Ai Wei's waist and continued to sleep.

"My venom...hehe, if there is no antidote, it can last a lifetime. It will make people fall madly in love with the opposite sex in front of them. You are the first man to take the initiative to ask for such a thing." She touched Harley's hair and braided it into a braid with vines.

"Thank you for reminding me. I won't use this kettle anymore. We have business to do." Su Ming said it was time to leave, but Barry didn't respond. He turned around and patted him angrily: "Barry? Keep it closed." What are the eyes for?”

"Oh, haha, yes, it's time to go, let's go." Barry came to his senses, his face almost as red as his uniform, he laughed dryly, and a flash of lightning passed by.

Ivy watched the two disappear in an instant, but the vines felt the way they left, and the door continued to swing, as if being blown by the wind.

She sighed with some disappointment. She originally wanted to play...but soon, she lay down, looked at the smiling Harley, kissed her on the face, and closed her eyes. .
