Chapter 53: The Vanguard Yesterday's 1st Shift
Outer space, watchtowers. "Batman A02," Batman, who had been teleported to the watchtower through the blast channel, looked around, except for the steel bones who were still working there, the other members of the Justice League had not arrived at all, and he was the only one here.
"What about the others, Victor."
"I don't know, Hal left Earth, Diana went back to Paradise Island, and Superman can't come over because of something..."Victor said helplessly, everyone in the team seemed to be stumbling over some small personal matters, and Batman's brows under the mask furrowed. One or two can be said to be accidental, but each member was stumped by something, and it was obviously a bit too coincidental or bizarre.
It seems that his opponent has already made a move, and Victor is also a little stressed when he sees Batman's sudden silence, after all, the brain of the entire alliance is Batman, and if even the brain stops working, how bad will this be?
"What are you thinking, Batman, don't you think they're all being arranged by our opponents?" Victor asked, skeptically.
"It's hard to say, Victor, can you contact Arthur?"
"I'll try."
After a while of operation in front of the computer, Victor connected with Arthur, who was far away in Atlantis, and Arthur was wearing a battle armor at this time, and behind him were Kalm, Tula and the strategist Vico, who seemed to be preparing to go on the expedition. Arthur, who was connected, was also a little confused when he saw Victor and Batman in front of the screen.
"What's the matter, contact me at this time." Although he was a little confused, Arthur also knew that his team would not contact him for such no reason, so he hurriedly asked.
"Arthur, what's going on over there?" Batman was the first to speak.
"To be honest, I don't know very well, my subjects have told me that the Trench Clan in the Mariana Trench has been restless lately, and there have been more than a dozen cases of small groups being attacked, and I need to go over and take a look." Arthur said with a wry smile.
"A dozen attacks require you, the king, to take action personally?" Batman also raised his suspicions.
"It's different, the situation of the Trench Clan is very complicated, they were originally one of the Seven Seas Country, but they degenerated into beasts, and I am the only one who can communicate with the Trench Clan, and even order them, I can't go there, I can't find out why they are so irritable."
"Then I see."
The communication with Arthur is turned off, and Batman's mind is also in motion. There are good reasons for Arthur to get out, and Hal is also responsible for being a member of the Green Lantern Corps, and he must come forward if there is an interstellar problem. So what was the reason for Diana to go back to Paradise Island? God? Batman may not be the smartest man in the world, but he must be the greatest detective in the world.
Because he understands human nature well enough, and their opponent, who has not yet surfaced, also knows human nature well enough like him. For everyone in their positive alliance, the identity they represent does not need to be strong, it is enough to be able to contain them. Everyone in his team left the team because he had to leave for a while, so what about himself, what kind of reason would his opponent arrange for him? A reason why he had to pause his investigation for a while.
The brain is running at great speed, and Batman is doing reverse reasoning, which will allow him to stop the reason for the task at hand, and then use this to reverse which is the mastermind behind the scenes, step by step, to get his own answer. But when he had just restored the tip of the iceberg, the watchtower, which was the first line of defense of the earth, began to issue an early warning, and ten UFOs appeared in the Kuiper planetary belt of the solar system, looking at the trajectory of the budget, which was coming in the direction of the earth.
"UFOs? Need to activate the counter-attack device? Or inform Shazam, Superman them? Victor asked Batman as he looked at the ten unidentified objects that were constantly flying towards Earth using space jumps.
At this time, Batman looked at these ten unknown objects, but he had a not very mature idea in his mind, and asked directly: "Can you capture the image, Victor." ”
"It should be possible, Superman's probe placed between several planets is to prepare for this."
Replying to Batman, Victor quickly captured some of the images by connecting probes placed on several other planets. The target is not big, the ten flying machines that appear in the solar system are more like an escape pod, and the information of the Apocalypse Star Mother Box carried in the watchtower, Krypton Star Technology and the green light computer also found the civilization where the ten escape pods are located through the comparison of images.
"It's Krypton's prison escape pod for prisoners, and I think we're going to notify Superman." As soon as he saw the origin of this escape pod, Victor had a big head, and the thing from Krypton was not a good thing.
The simplest example is Superman, this guy is basically the ceiling of the Justice League, if Batman represents the ceiling of the IQ of the Justice League, then Superman represents the ceiling of the Justice League's fists, with these two combinations, it is the most powerful part of the Justice League. Now, there are ten more things in the same place as Superman, and he always feels like things are going to be big.
However, Batman saw a different idea on the ten escape pods, and Batman knew more about the inside story of the ten escape pods than Victor. The vanguard of Phantom Prison, yes, because of Kara's appearance, Superman consciously flew to Batman's home in Gotham after the first meeting, and 1510 explained to Batman the origin of Kara and the possible crises that may arise in the future.
Therefore, he knows better that these ten escape pods are not Kryptonians, but ten cosmic criminals who are estimated to be okay, and in these cosmic prisoners, Batman sees a turnaround, an opportunity to find out who is behind the scenes and strike at it.
"Victor, can you predict when they will reach Earth, and where they will land?"
"Judging by the frequency of their spatial jumps, it only takes a day, and if there are no accidents, then they will land in Naxino City, unless they have some purpose to disperse."
A day? Batman pondered for a moment, then stopped Victor from preparing to gather the members of the Zhenglian who were still on Earth and could be contacted. Turning his head, Victor was a little confused. "I don't need to inform anyone else for the time being, I'll go and say to Superman, all you have to do is hack into the space agency and don't let them see the information about these flying objects."
Ha? Victor was a little confused, wasn't Batman fiddling with his sense of humor? Although he didn't know if Batman, who had always been unsmiling, would have a sense of humor, he couldn't understand this operation.
"Believe me, they won't cause much damage, and I'll bear all the consequences."
"What are you going to do, I always feel like you're going to get out of it."
"No, because I am..."
"Because you're Batman, man, can you change your lines, for the past two years, you've basically said three sentences a day, and I've memorized the tone of your words on various occasions."
Victor complained a little helplessly, whenever everyone made a decision, Batman always ended with this sentence and made a decision. Although the matter was finally solved according to Batman's design, Victor always felt that it should be the credit of Batman's words, and every time he finished speaking, the ending of the matter was the same as Batman envisioned. Although he was a little upset about why Batman didn't tell him the reason, Victor still did as Batman instructed.
For the next day, the satellites that NASA has put into space will be blind, blind to the incoming extraterrestrial visitor. As soon as this side ended, Batman received Superman's communication, clicked on the microcomputer on his arm, and Superman's avatar popped up, looking at the ice wall behind him, he should be in his own fortress of loneliness at this time.
Superman, who has a fortress of solitude, can detect the appearance of unknown visitors to the solar system even without the need for a watchtower, but he does not appear in front of Batman in time, indicating that he is also entangled in some trivial matters.
"Why didn't you notify me."
"Before you could do it, you called."
"What do you want to do, you have to know that this is probably coming for Kara!"
"But it's also possible that it's coming at you."
"But I can protect myself."
"But can you protect her for the rest of your life? She's just like you, Clark, you're all a race favored by the universe, and there are very few people on Earth who can hurt her, and what she needs is not protection, it's tempering. ”
Superman was moved by Batman's words, and he understood what Batman was trying to say, for Kryptonians under the light of yellow stars, purely from a physical point of view, there were really few people who could deal with him, even those vicious cosmic fugitives. And Kara, as a superhero, has experienced too little, these ten cosmic fugitives are a whetstone for Kara, and besides, there is still a guy in Naxino City who is not weaker than him.
It's just that judging from the two years he has been with Batman day and night, things must not be so simple, even Kryptonite can prepare a warehouse of old yin goods for himself, and if he believes all his words, it will be over.
"What are you going to do, Bruce?"
"Didn't I tell you before that I had a not-so-mature idea?"
"yes, so what?"
"These ten are here to confirm my immature idea."
