"Don't look at me, Mr. Crazy. If you say no, it means no. Even if Batman tests my blood now, he can't find any toxic components. Otherwise, I will still stand here and not take any measures to stop that
Crazy little bastard destroying this city?”
Schiller saw that Poison Ivy was not completely honest with him. The neurotoxin may indeed be gone, but it was not because it was used up. Poison Ivy was obviously hiding something.
"What did Batman come to see you for?"
"Whatever you come to me for is what he comes to me for." Poison Ivy said in a roundabout way: "The whole Gotham City knows that the vines represent my gaze, and I know everything that happened there.
, Batman came to me, obviously he also needs the information I have."
"And you gave it to him."
"Yes, because now I obviously can only hope for him."
"You are weaker than you show." Schiller raised his head and looked around and said: "These vines are just a bluff. You are very weak now. Maybe you think the situation is already critical. Whether it is Batman or the Bat Family, try your best
Resisting King Robin is the best help to you, you don't think they have the time and ability to help you."
Schiller paused briefly and continued to speculate: "But this is not actually the main reason. You think they don't want to help you."
"Yes." Poison Ivy followed his words and said, "In their eyes, I am a criminal, why should they help me solve my troubles."
"No, that's not it." Schiller looked Poison Ivy up and down and said, "When I just came over, I found that you were very nervous. You were looking out and tapping the ground with your toes. This is because you were eager to get away.
Performance."
"I didn't expect there was a great detective here." Poison Ivy said sarcastically.
"Don't worry." Schiller continued: "You feel trapped and very anxious. The source of this anxiety is not only the nervousness of trying to fool a detective of Batman's level.
, there should be deeper reasons.”
"You're afraid of Batman, but not as a criminal...at least not because of your previous crimes."
"I haven't committed any crimes before. Even if I had, after I took care of that little lunatic named Peter Parker for a night, Batman should give me a security guard award."
"Did you find out?" Schiller approached Poison Ivy, paced behind her and said: "You are constantly showing that you and Batman are on the same side, emphasizing the help you provided to him, emphasizing
What a contribution you made to this city."
"Because it's true."
"Yes, but you were not proud of this in the past. You were indifferent to these things, but now you are emphasizing it repeatedly. Who do you want to believe? Me? Or yourself?"
Schiller thought about it and said: "There is no significant benefit in emphasizing to me that you and Batman are on the same side, because even if you see that I am Batman's friend rather than his enemy, since you don't ask for anything from Batman, you also don't
What's the use of expressing the camp's position if you ask me for help?"
"Unless your position has changed and you think you are on the opposite side of Batman, but you are afraid that he might find out, so you subconsciously emphasize how much you have contributed to this city and to Batman.
, to put yourself in the camp of good guys and eliminate Batman’s hostility.”
Poison Ivy opened her mouth to say something, but quickly shut up again because she realized that she had exposed too much.
"You think I betrayed Batman?"
"When have you ever cared about Batman?"
"When committing a crime." Poison Ivy replied almost instinctively, but after hesitating for a moment, she still said: "Except for the lunatic Joker, no one is afraid of Batman."
Schiller clearly saw the flash of fear on Poison Ivy's face. At least in the Arkham Knight universe, Batman, as the Dark Knight, is quite conscientious and he has almost perfectly fulfilled his role as the Dark Knight.
Batman's original intention is that when every criminal commits a crime, that terrifying figure will flash through his mind.
Maybe it's because Arkham Batman itself is relatively violent. He doesn't kill people, but he does everything except killing people. For example, he directly breaks people's spines, breaks all limbs, and removes the Batmobile from other people's heads.
It's strange that criminals aren't scared when driving over them.
"What did you do?" Schiller asked.
Poison Ivy shook her head and didn't want to say anything, but Schiller wouldn't let her go just yet. Schiller continued: "After you do something, you know that Batman can't let you go.
You were ready to confess before, but fooling this Batman made you feel lucky again."
"Maybe you think he's gentler, but he just doesn't care." Schiller said: "Many times he will try his best to dig out all the secrets of others, but at the same time he can also prioritize. If you ask now, he will not get any benefits.
, this city may also go further and further on the road to destruction."
"He thinks you are someone he can win over. Even if you have secrets to hide from him, at least one thing remains unchanged. Neither of you wants Robin King to come. He wants to protect Gotham, and you want to protect the plants in Gotham.
On this point, your position is consistent."
"So even if you may have done something before, when faced with a life-or-death choice, you will definitely tend to him, so no matter what secrets you keep, you can talk about it later."
Schiller stared at Poison Ivy's face and said, "You're acting surprised because that's not who Batman is in your mind?"
"Of course not." Poison Ivy said: "In this city, he is a cruel tyrant, and no one can disobey him. We all know how much of the Joker's death was his own fault, and how much of it was Batman venting his anger."
"You're right about that," Schiller said. "Batman has a lot of anger to vent, but if I were to make a list, would you be at the top? Even now, you might have done something.
When betraying his behavior.”
"Of course not." Poison Ivy was very confident about this. She said: "I almost never commit crimes and am an excellent patient in Arkham. But last time I was drunk and vomited, and poisoned most of the people in his garden.
Plant, I guess that would move me up at least two spots on the list."
"I guess he doesn't like plants as much as you do, and he is very rich, so, one." Schiller paused briefly and said: "In this case, adding another chip to your crime will not make the balance immediately.
Tilt, no matter which Batman he is, he will not settle a score with you right away."
"You can take advantage of this time to make up for your mistakes, or use a more fundamental way to fool Batman, instead of just talking about it and deceiving yourself that Batman didn't notice."
"A more fundamental approach?"
"You have to tell me what you did first."
Poison Ivy took another deep breath and became hesitant again, which let Schiller know that she must have done something bad beyond imagination, otherwise she wouldn't have reached this point and still hesitated whether to say it or not.
Schiller did not persuade further, but waited for Poison Ivy to calm down. It was obvious that although Poison Ivy was guilty, her brain was still there, and she also knew that such passiveness and sabotage was not the answer.
"I opened that portal." Poison Ivy, who was sitting on the sofa, covered one eye and said, "I didn't expect there would be such serious consequences."
"What's going on? Tell me in detail."
"About two months ago, I noticed that the roots of underground plants began to wither, which seriously affected the growth of plants on the ground. They began to gradually shrink, no longer grow upward, and finally died in a strange posture."
"I started investigating this matter, and then I discovered that some dark energy began to gather in one direction. I found the source of the energy gathering. I thought it must be solved, but I didn't regard it as a big trouble at the time."
"I have gathered the power of plants and intend to absorb and decompose it. Maybe you don't know that plants have very powerful decomposition capabilities, and almost any energy will be decomposed into nutrients by them."
"It went smoothly at first. The large number of vines, trees and flowers I sent perfectly absorbed the energy and supported the power of the outer layer. But when the inner layer was exposed, I knew I had done something wrong."
"That is a bait and a time bomb. The energy surging in the inner layer is completely different from the outer layer. It is not pure, but more like a pollutant. The plants I sent there are all polluted. They spontaneously
They formed the shape of the portal, and the energy that they had decomposed and transformed into nutrients became the flame that ignited the portal."
"Then King Robin rushed out?"
"It's worse than that. What came out first was a powerful wave of pollution. Now the root systems of most of the plants in Gotham are contaminated and are no longer under my control, so I can only hide here because those crazy plants are looking for them."
I."
Poison Ivy showed a painful expression and said: "I am now using unpolluted energy to control the remaining plants to fight against them, but there are too many of them and I cannot completely eliminate them. I can only protect myself now."
.”
Poison Ivy also looked up at the plants in the room and said: "These things are not to threaten you, but are protective nets I have set up. Once those polluting plants rush in, they will be the last line of defense to protect me." .”
"But Batman can get in easily."
"Batman can easily enter anywhere." Poison Ivy sighed and said, "Okay, but this pollution seems to be directed at me. They don't pay attention to others, and the crazy plants will not attack others. Otherwise you would have seen it on the news."
"But if they were completely polluted and controlled, that wouldn't be the case for you, right?" Schiller raised a possibility.
"I don't know, they are too weird." Poison Ivy shook her head and said, "I even suspect that they are not targeting me, but the existence behind me. All I can do now is delay as much as possible. It’s time.”
"So far, I can still fight them, but if Batman comes back, I don't think he will listen to my explanation. After all, I was the one who opened the portal. In essence, I am the murderer who almost killed him. .”
"The murderer is King Robin and the person who released the polluted energy." Schiller made a judgment and said: "If someone carefully weaves a trap for you thousands of miles away, and you are completely unaware of it, then you fail to respond in time and fall into Trouble is excusable, and mistakes made when forced are no big deal.”
"But how am I going to explain all this to Batman?" Poison Ivy spread her hands and said.
"Of course you don't need to explain all this to Batman." Schiller also walked to the sofa and sat down, looked at Poison Ivy and said firmly: "But Batman wants to give you an explanation."
