American comic book police officer survival manual

"No, someone has been in the room."

Instead of letting go of the beauty in his arms, Lucius instinctively held her even tighter. He smelled the slightly unfamiliar scent in the air and immediately noticed the cat's eye ring left on the table.

"Is it her?"

"Who?"

Unexpectedly, Lucius noticed something was wrong so quickly. Overjoyed, Pamela no longer had to go to great lengths to remind her beloved, and her eyes lit up as she eagerly awaited Lucius's reply.

"It looks like Selena... the girl we saw at the hospital last time."

Lucius picked up the cat's-eye ring from the table, unsure of its significance, treating it as just another ordinary gift like any other piece of jewelry. He casually took a box from the drawer and put it back in.

"Selena?"

Knowing who was hiding in the room, Pamela's tense mood eased slightly with a sense of satisfaction.

"That's right, she should just be an ordinary petty thief. Last time she was brought here by those gangsters, it was probably because she made a mistake when she was attacking, which is why she was threatened."

The clumsy stealth and theft left traces that even he could spot, and Lucius had already completely ruled out the possibility that Selena was "Catwoman" in his mind.

How could the unruly catwoman possibly have done something like obediently returning the "stolen goods" after being threatened by herself?

Catwoman got angry and even scratched Lord Wayne, showing him no mercy whatsoever. For him to obediently return the ring just because of two sentences was completely unlike Catwoman's style.

Although the guy in the previous life was a bit of a womanizer and annoying, these ornaments were still quite valuable. They weren't a hot potato, so normally who would return them?

"How do you know someone has been here? Why Miss Selena?"

Pamela cautiously reminded Lucius to go further, while secretly glancing around the bedroom, but she couldn't find the man's figure.

"Because I smelled something different."

The stolen ring has been returned, and that guy should be gone by now...

With this conclusion in mind, Lucius, relieved, embraced Pamela again and explained softly.

In terms of memory alone, the human sense of smell is relatively the most acute.

If you remember someone, their face is probably the first thing to fade from your memory, followed by their voice, and lastly their scent...

When you reunite with an old friend, you may not remember what they look like, but their voice will often sound familiar.

Lucius was intimately familiar with the smells in the apartment, so he would naturally be keenly aware of anything unusual.

"But I didn't notice any of it..."

Indeed, there was nothing unusual about the smell. Pamela looked at Lucius in surprise, not quite understanding why her beloved was so sensitive.

The sudden shooting at the hospital last time was also completely unexpected by Pamela.

Although she had gradually mastered the power to control plants, and could even communicate with them to some extent and sense their emotions, she still lacked Lucius's keen perception...

"Haha...maybe my physical condition is a bit better than the average person's..."

Scratching his head, Lucius could only brush the matter off.

After all, you can't just go around spreading rumors about having Kryptonian constitutions...

Even with only one percent unlocked, Gotham may not have much sun, but radiation and light don't disappear just because it's cloudy.

The changes in Lucius's physique will not completely disappear due to these negative effects.

It's just that they grow a little slower.

As long as Lucius lives, his abilities will be continuously and subtly enhanced through various means.

While he might still be far from having thermal vision, his physical abilities were gradually improving, surpassing the level of ordinary people, something Lucius could vaguely sense.

Seeing the hesitation still on Pamela's face, Lucius raised his glass and offered it to the girl.

"It's alright, don't be so nervous. Selena probably doesn't mean any harm."

"No, actually..."

Pamela was forced to pick up the wine glass, and although she already knew that the person hiding in the room was Miss Selena, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Having someone watching you while you're with your partner feels incredibly strange...

But then I thought, why would Miss Selena come to Lucius's bedroom? If she returned the ring, why didn't she leave immediately instead of hiding in the room?

Could it be... that she, like Miss Harleen, also harbors considerable affection for Lucius?

An ominous thought arose in Pamela's mind, instantly causing the girl holding the wine glass to feel intensely uneasy.

"Uh...don't you like the environment here?"

Noticing that Pamela's mood was a bit off, Lucius released his hand and slightly increased the safe social distance.

"No...it's actually quite nice here..."

After taking a small sip of the red wine in her glass, Pamela mustered her courage and slowly approached Lucius.

She is no longer the weak, ordinary college student she once was.

Even if Miss Selena had ulterior motives, or some villain lurking in the shadows, nothing could change her determination to pursue happiness...

The gradually intensifying fragrance enveloped Lucius's body, and as he looked at the girl so close to him, his heart began to beat slightly faster.

Softness and warmth fell on their lips; under the moonlight, their figures were pressed tightly together...

Hiding in the crevice, Selena forced herself not to see or think about what was happening between the two...

But what he glimpsed out of the corner of his eye caused the poor thief to uncontrollably begin to be tormented by hallucinations...

Pamela's figure kept shifting and blurring, as if the person Lucius was kissing was himself, powerless against the poison gas...

"Do you mind if I take a shower first?"

Pamela parted her lips, her voice trembling slightly and alluring.

A slight blush, like the most beautiful spring color, adorned the girl's cheeks, making her as beautiful as a flower.

Moonlight filtered through her long dress, subtly revealing the alluring curves of the already charming woman's figure, causing Lucius to unconsciously respond in a daze:

"Ah...of course..."

Setting down her glass, the officer's awkward, unsure-to-define gaze brought a genuine smile to Pamela's face...

Before anything officially happens, she still needs to suppress the toxins in her body...

"I'll be right back..."

Pamela kissed Lucius on the cheek and hurried toward the bathroom, clutching a pre-prepared antidote in her hand.

Once she ingests this, the toxins in her body will spread wildly as if enraged...

But... after a brief outburst, the aimless toxins become incredibly docile, as if half-exhausted, and can be manipulated by Pamela at will.

Under such circumstances, if she wanted to... she wouldn't let the poison harm the person she deeply loved...

Any location...for any time...
