Chapter 25 Catwoman's Windows
🕑 Added 2025-10-12 14:11:56 +0000 UTCThe usual unbeatable moves lost their effectiveness on Connors. But "Catwoman" Selina Kyle strained, her claws aimed for the back of Connors's head. This time, she could have lifted his skull up, but she had no murderous intention in her heart, just thinking about knocking him unconscious with a temporary change of moves.
"Tsk, you're really like a kitten. You like to scratch people."
Selina's claws were firmly gripped by his hands on her wrists. Then, Connors exerted his arm and pulled her off himself, throwing her aside. He wanted to ask Catwoman to see if she'd met Poison Ivy or Killer Croc. Coming to Catwoman to "eat melons" was one thing, but on the other hand, they were the only two prisoners who had escaped from Arkham Asylum who hadn't caused trouble yet.
But after Catwoman was thrown out, her body twisted lightly in the air. After falling to the ground at the top of the building, she turned and wanted to run.
Connors, having prepared himself, hoisted a jewel he had touched from Catwoman high in the air, using a little trick.
"If you escape, you won't see this thing again."
"Catwoman" Selina's expression of pain flashed across her face, though she pretended to be fine. "It doesn't matter. There are so many jewelry stores in Gotham."
That's what she said, but Selina wiped one hand around her waist, and the thing she was hiding in her belt was pulled out and thrown towards Connors. A long whip! She didn't figure out why she, Gotham's brightest burglar, would be trying to steal the jewels back from this man in person. But it didn't matter. With the long whip in her hand, her combat power was doubled, believing that this man, no matter how powerful he was, could not handle her whip.
However, once again, what happened made Catwoman unthinkable.
It was clear that the purpose of the long whip was the hand holding the jewel, but no matter how hard she tried, the whip that she used to hit wherever she pointed seemed to be no longer obedient and kept pumping on the ground.
Papapapa—
Connors had nothing to do, and the ground next to him was being whipped.
"What did you do?" Selina's voice was soft and waxy, and completely out of tune with her fighting style and vigorous figure.
"Just a little bit of a blind eye," Connors laughed.
"…" Catwoman, anxious and furious, simply did not aim at Connors's hand, but rounded the whip and swept it sideways. Since it's a cover-up, I might as well not aim at it! Catwoman thought with some annoyance.
Faced with this long-whip sweep, Connors's blindfold trick was really powerless. He simply used his speed to close in on Selina in a big stride. By the time Catwoman realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, she couldn't. The long whip used for the fight became the bondage that tied her up at this point, with Connors firmly holding the other end in his hand.
Leather jackets, whips, blindfolds, outdoors. Looking at the scene in front of him, which felt extremely familiar, Connors put aside the unhealthy things in his head and said seriously to Selina, "You'll feel aggrieved first. I'm afraid you will run away again as soon as I relax… Ask you something. You seem to be always active at night. Have you ever seen Killer Croc and Poison Ivy?"
"It's a man who looks like a crocodile, and the other, um… a woman who should be particularly beautiful, probably wearing green clothes, and can control plants."
Seeing that Catwoman, who had her hands tied behind her back, would not speak, Connors shook the whip in his hand with great ease.
"Mmph—" Catwoman snorted.
"?" Connors felt something was wrong and shook his whip twice more.

In Catwoman's soft snort, the Melon-eating System provided Connors with the answer in due course. It turns out you're this version of the character… Connors suddenly realized.
Standing in front of a sewer manhole cover in the streets of Gotham, Connors made up his mind several times but couldn't accept drilling into such a place. Mainly, during the day, while sitting in his car on his way to the Gotham Forest, he had seen with his own eyes someone squatting on the drain on the side of the road and relieving themselves.
Catwoman was just a fledgling thief in this world; she didn't know anything about Killer Croc and Poison Ivy. Connors didn't ask why and simply let her go.
Standing in front of the manhole cover at this point, Connors cheered himself up one last time. He couldn't find Poison Ivy, so now he had to try his luck in the sewer. He lifted the sewer manhole cover.
"So stinky…" The refueling rush he had just built up immediately fell apart in the face of the smell of the sewer. Connors turned around and left.
The stench, however, provided him with inspiration. Since he wanted to promote the development of the "Laughing Man" incident, and in the current situation where neither Killer Croc nor Poison Ivy could be found, he still had a place to go: Arkham Asylum!
After the previous Arkham was escaped from by the prisoners, Batman had used the Wayne Group's industry to complete part of the prison in the name of the Gotham First Family, and the villains he had captured later were still sent inside. Instead of running around looking for Killer Croc and Poison Ivy, it was better to simply go inside Arkham and find the Joker to chat in person.
Then, the problem came back. Where's Arkham Asylum?
In theory, you could get the answer to this question by asking anyone on the streets of Gotham City. But it was midnight, and only occasional vehicles coming and going could be seen on the street; there were no pedestrians at all.
Between the "Ghostface Bar" and the "Andrew Hotel," Connors chose the latter without much hesitation. So, without a supercar, he got into a taxi again and came to the hotel where the big star Shayna was staying. Shayna was an out-of-towner and certainly didn't know where Gotham's Arkham Asylum was, but there were people here with cell phones and internet, and Connors could easily get the answer.
Shayna was naturally greeted by Connors's arrival. Half an hour later, calmly, he drove out of the underground parking lot in another muscle car sent by Shayna.
Arkham Asylum, as a place in Gotham City that was a prison, a hospital, and a sanatorium for the mentally ill, was naturally not located in the city, but in the outer suburbs. The Gothic bell tower could be seen from a distance, and the dark yellow light on the huge clock did not serve as illumination, but looked eerie. The wall had a searchlight every few meters, and in addition, a guard post every fifty meters, the searchlight above which shone into every dark corner at all times.
The moon in Gotham clearly looked bigger than elsewhere. Connors looked up at the huge moon in the sky and the lunatic asylum that looked like a haunted house under the moonlight. With a little trick, he passed through the many guards, came to the prison where the prisoners were being held, and found an empty cage.
Then, he shut himself in.
