Chapter Seventy-Two: The Unexpected
In the night, Catwoman leaps and dances between buildings with her dexterity and speed. After a while, she had already made it through most of the Drake district, jumping through the window into her house.
Poking her head through the window and seeing her black cat crouching in the shadows looking at her, her eyes glowing green like glow-in-the-dark stones, she smiled, "Hello, I'm back." It's really an occupational disease, and I hardly walked through the main gate when I went home at night. ”
"Aim~"
The black cat barked softly, but not in her direction, but in the living room, and then it crawled towards the living room.
Catwoman felt a sense of foreboding. She followed the black cat out of the bedroom, and after scanning around, she was surprised to find that there was the outline of a bat standing in the darkness, which was particularly terrifying when it blended with the dark environment around her.
Catwoman's tone was a little stiff: "So, you found my house." May I guess you're following me here? I still have a bit of a knack for anti-tracking, and I couldn't have been more stealthy even if Batman was chasing me personally. ”
The figure in the dark, that is, Roy, said lightly: "Of course you can't find me, because I didn't track you at all." In fact, I'm Selena waiting for you before you get back here? Miss Kyle. ”
Catwoman's face suddenly turned to the side, and her eyes, which seemed to be constantly emitting, also converged at this moment, and the electric light turned into a sharp cold, and the air in the room seemed to drop suddenly.
But then, her expression returned to lightness: "Awesome, Mr. Detective." Aside from Batman, you're the first to find me. How did you find out? Oh, forget it, I don't want to know, you Mr. Detectives have your own means. So"
She deliberately dragged it out for a while, deliberately sticking in front of Roy in a seductive position, and asked, "I guess, you're here for the 'Eye of Hevestos', right?" Then I'm afraid I'll have to go home empty-handed, sorry. ”
"Nope." Roy replied in a hoarse voice, "I'll have that before you get back." I'm still here to wait for you. ”
He raised his right hand, and the beautiful jewel in his palm that shimmered like a flame in the darkness was not the famous "Eye of Hevistas".
Catwoman's head that was leaning in front of Roy stopped, and her face changed suddenly: "How are you?"
"It's really not a very wise choice to give a valuable gem to a litter of cats. Surprised, but can't fool smart people, although it has a 'Catwoman' style. Roy said calmly.
At this point, Catwoman has already made a move. Her quick, sharp claw was like lightning and pointed straight at the ruby in Roy's hand.
Roy's words were originally intended to provoke her to take the initiative, and he had already raised his guard. Roy showed the ruby as a decoy, luring the opponent to target this direction and use it to counterattack.
And Catwoman's offensive was indeed within his expectations. Roy's hand squeezing the gem sank down, and the two fingers of the food were pressed together towards Catwoman's wrist. Catwoman recognized at a glance that this was Batman's point ** method, once it was hit by the designated ** position on the wrist, it would cause a temporary paralyzing effect, which can be the difference between victory and defeat in hand-to-hand combat.
With a flick of her wrist, she took a half-step back to open up some space, and unleashed her leg skills, and flicked her leg with a whip.
Roy took a step back to avoid it, but the second roundhouse swept back after him. Roy crouched down to avoid it, and took the opportunity to step forward to attack, but the third leg bounced head-on. As a last resort, he had no choice but to retreat.
Catwoman's chain legs are so tightly unfolded that there is no gap to break into, forcing Roy to keep backing until there is no way back to stick to a wall behind him.
The sharp leg swept again. Roy reacted quickly, holding the blow with one hand, rolling on the ground in the direction of the opponent's force, and pressing a device that had been pulled out of his belt with the other hand.
Only a "boom" was heard, and the space suddenly fell into darkness.
It is a compact EMP (electromagnetic pulse) device. Roy borrowed the EMP to temporarily turn off all the lights in the house and the street lamps that were closer to the outside. This is one of the most common tricks used by the Bat family, and sneak attacks with the help of darkness are a must for everyone.
The moment Roy rolled to his feet, infrared imaging was activated. It takes time for the human eye to get used to the darkness, and the moment before the other party adapts is the best time to sneak attack.
But what he saw after activating the infrared imaging was beyond his expectations. Two orange images were speeding through the darkness and rushing in Roy's direction.
It was only when these two things threw Roy to the ground that he finally reacted.
It's a cat. People can't catch enough light in the dark to image on the retina, but cats can, and their pupils see much more clearly in the dark than humans.
Although she didn't spend much time entangling with the two cats in her armor, after a moment of getting rid of the two cats, Catwoman had adapted to the darkness, and the nimble soft whip wrapped around Roy's ankle and pulled him abruptly.
In the flash of lightning, Roy's mind flashed through several ways to get out of passivity after being pulled closer. As he was pressed to his chest on one knee by Catwoman, feeling her feathery weight weighing down on him, he had already pinched a concussive batrang in his hand.
However, it was beyond any of the possibilities he had calculated. He was greeted next not by any means of attack, but by a kiss.
That's right, it's just a kiss, a warm and fragrant kiss.
As Catwoman gets up with a smile on her face, Roy touches her lips in dismay, as if to confirm if it's a hallucination.
"What a mistake." Catwoman shook her right hand, clutching the fiery red gem in her hand.
Roy was startled, only to realize that she had taken advantage of Roy's surprise and distraction to regain the gem.
Adjusting to his mindset in an instant, Roy struggled to concentrate and prepare to regain the gem. But what happened next was again more than he had calculated.
Catwoman smiled charmingly, and with a wave of her hand, she threw back the priceless "Eye of Hevestos". Roy subconsciously reached out to catch it.
"It's just a gem, since I want it so much, I'll give it to you." She smiled and said, "This should be a gift for you." ”
As she spoke, she had already removed her hood and goggles and threw them on the table beside her, as if she had forgotten that the other person standing in the room had been fighting her to the death.
Roy stood up, looked at the gem in his hand, and asked in a low voice, "I know your identity, and there is enough evidence." ”
"Batman has it too." Catwoman, or Selena, laughed, "But you wouldn't threaten a poor girl with such a thing, would you?" But if you insist on doing so, there's nothing I can do to stop you. ”
"That's hard to say."
Selena laughed disapprerovingly and said, "Remember to help me light up the lights in the room when I go out, I can't live in such darkness all night." ”
