Nobody can stop me from drawing cards in Gotham!

Chapter 94 Cat: Have some decency!

Unlike special event cards, fun event cards are like little Easter eggs in the game.

These cards don't necessarily have complex storylines like "The Bloodstained Bat" or "The Strange Drowning Youth".

However, there are usually unexpected and interesting developments during the process.

Most importantly, these Easter egg events usually reward pretty good items.

Since the decision has been made to complete this task and help the cat find its owner...

Jaeger then crouched down and tentatively reached out his hand to the cat.

Facing the unfamiliar young man before him, the black cat opened its emerald green eyes and looked at Yege warily.

Seemingly sensing no hostility, the black cat mustered its courage and cautiously approached, slowly drawing near to Jaeger's hand...

The result was the instant it was touched.

"Meow...!?"

The black cat seemed to have touched something terrible; its fur stood on end instantly, its tail stood up, and the whole cat jumped back in terror.

"Huh?" Jaeger was also taken aback and subconsciously looked at his hands.

There was nothing there.

That's strange. Why is the cat reacting so strongly all of a sudden?

And it doesn't seem to be a problem with Langdon's identity card.

Because Jaeger had heard that if a person is disliked by cats and dogs, it could be due to a clash of energies, besides being exposed to some scent that makes small animals uncomfortable...

But no matter which one it is, the cat will ignore you from the start.

So it's strange that someone who wanted to get close would be scared away the moment they touched the object.

As Jaeger was deep in thought, a voice echoed in his mind:

"...I want to pet a cat too..."

—That was a pitiful poisonous fog.

Jaeger: "..."

Wait, I forgot about that.

Surely the cat couldn't have run away because of the poisonous mist on its body?

Before Jaeger could even ask, Poison Mist confessed: "I'm sorry, Langdon. I just saw the cat coming over, and I couldn't help myself... I got a little emotional."

"So, probably, maybe—a little bit of fog leaked out."

Upon hearing the words of the poisonous fog, Jaeger fell silent.

He suddenly realized that, from the black cat's perspective, the situation just now might actually be like this—

An ordinary-looking two-legged creature appeared!

The two-legged creature crouched down!

He reached out his hand to himself!

The cat's curiosity was piqued, and it tentatively approached...

Meow! I've been tricked!

Why is there a strange thing, some kind of unknown creature, wrapped around this two-legged creature?

It was even making a move towards me, which was terrifying!

...After finishing his mental exercise, Jaeger sighed.

It seems unlikely that carrying the poisonous fog will allow them to successfully complete the mission of finding the cat's owner.

Otherwise, even if you forcibly take it away, the cat will probably howl pitifully all the way.

Then the scene changes to a group of people in the banquet hall watching Langdon walk by carrying a cat that's meowing pitifully...

More like a strange cat trafficker than a kind person returning a cat.

However, leaving the cat here and then switching identity tags to come back and retrieve it doesn't seem like a good idea.

After all, cats aren't inanimate objects that stay put. If Jaeger walks away for a moment, the cat might vanish into the backyard and never be found again—along with Jaeger's reward, gone with the wind...

No, this is the only one that's not allowed.

I need to think of a way... I've got it!

Jaeger's eyes lit up, and he frantically typed in his mind, "Right, poisonous fog, which is the tallest tree here?"

"Tree?"

The poisonous fog didn't know why Langdon suddenly brought this up, but it still obediently used its mist to quickly check: "It's the one at the far right, right at the very edge... Why are you asking about this?"

Jaeger didn't answer directly: "Is there anyone else around here?"

"No, they're mostly in the banquet hall area," Poison Mist said.

Upon hearing the mention of poisonous fog, Jaeger felt relieved.

The next second, amidst the terrified gaze of the black cat opposite him, he reached out his wicked hand—

……

One minute later.

"Meow……!!!"

The mournful meows of a cat echoed through the quiet hotel's back garden.

In the back garden, on the top of the tallest ornamental garden tree, a trembling black cat was huddled on one of its forked branches.

However, unlike the cats that Metropolis Superman rescued next door, which accidentally climbed up trees and couldn't get down.

This cat was deliberately placed on this branch by the culprit, Jaeger, who drove up in the poisonous fog.

Faced with the cat's eyes filled with accusation and fear, Jaeger was still trying to soothe the victim's emotions: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid you'll run away and get into danger, so please stay here for a while."

"I'll have someone come pick you up right away, really."

To this, the toxic fog, who had witnessed the entire incident and was even forced to become an accomplice, remained silent: "..."

No, so you asked me to put the cat in the tree to keep it from running around?

The biggest danger this cat faces is actually you, Langdon!!!

Of course, the poisonous fog was just a thought in his mind; he didn't actually complain about it.

It could only sincerely ask, "But if the goal is simply to keep the cat from running around, why not use building blocks to make a rope to tie the cat here, or build a cat cage to put the cat in?"

Jaeger, however, looked at the poisonous mist extending from his shoulder and meeting his gaze with a strange expression: "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be so cruel to a cat?"

Poisonous fog: ?

The poisonous mist glanced at the cat beside it, who had no chance to resist and could only sit blankly on the branch, and then looked at Yeager.

Are you serious?

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Regardless of what Poison Mist was thinking, Jaeger went to switch his identity card and then put on the [Jaeger Winchester] card, which would definitely allow him to successfully touch the cat this time, before rushing back to the back garden.

Using the teleportation of the [Gate], Jaeger easily picked up the black cat that was sitting in the tree, gazing at the bright moon and questioning its existence.

This time, the cat did not resist.

On the contrary, looking at Yege, who rescued it from the tree, I felt a sense of warmth and emotion, like seeing a family member.

Jaeger: ?

In any case, it was somehow a strange way that made the mission go more smoothly...

Holding the cat, Jaeger returned to the banquet hall.

Judging from the cat's luxurious collar, its owner must be quite wealthy and is most likely a guest at the dinner party.

What if you could just stroll around the banquet hall with your cat and find its owner, easily completing your mission?

So Jaeger brought the cat into the venue, while carefully observing the reactions of those around him, trying to see if anyone recognized the cat.

But the cat's owner hasn't been found yet; instead, other people have come looking for Jaeger.

"Detective?"

Jaeger turned around at the sound and saw Barbara Gordon waving at him with a look of surprise on her face.

To his surprise, there was a familiar face next to Barbara.

That was Jason Todd, his head tilted to the side, hands in his pockets, looking completely uncomfortable with his rather formal attire.
