Chapter 435: A Strange Case in Prison
New York, Junior Titans Headquarters.
Among the members of the Titan Tower, Nightwing was studying in the room, Scarlet Witch was meditating in her room, and Spider-Woman and Blue Beetle were tinkering with something on the couch in the hall, giggling from time to time.
And the noisiest thing is the speeding duo.
Ever since Bart Allen – aka Kid Lightning – got a PS4 back, the hall hasn't seemed to be quiet. Since the formation of Titan, Quicksilver and him have been on the wrong track, not only because they are the only two speeders on the team, but also because they have not been very convinced in the two big battles in the NOHERE base, so that the two young speeders have to compete with each other in almost everything.
Of course, games are no exception.
The two spent a morning alone on a shooting game, and after getting headshot by Bart for the first few times, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "It's not fair!" Your split screen is the bottom half, which is more comfortable than my perspective! ”
Of course, the two of them sharing a screen game are going to split the screen, and he seems to think that is what caused him to lose.
"Ha, if you can't beat it, you can't beat it, and you still want to play tricks? Oh almost forgot, this is your specialty? At NOHERE......"
It's okay not to mention this, but when he mentioned Quicksilver, he was angry, and immediately threw down the handle and pounced on Bart. And I don't know if this scene usually happens too much, Bart was prepared, and his body shook backwards to avoid it.
"Just your speed? Please, the turtle can overtake your car! ”
"Wait until I catch you, see if your mouth is still so cheap!"
"Come on!"
The two of them didn't agree and moved again, and the hall was suddenly filled with gold and silver figures. Nightwing walked out of the room and scolded the two of them to stop.
But it doesn't seem to have a significant effect. I don't know if it's because the speed of these two boys is above the sound, and Nightwing's shouts can't catch up with them at all, anyway, they still have no intention of stopping.
Until another afterimage flashed in through the door. In an instant, the golden and silver whirlwind suddenly stopped, and the two of them were both shocked back, and one sat down on the ground, and Eric, wearing composite mode armor, appeared in the middle of the hall as if out of thin air, majestic.
Unarmoured, Eric smiled, "It's not good to fight, you have to learn to get along well." ”
Nightwing couldn't help but smile when he saw him, "Eric! ”
Moments later, Eric had followed Nightwing to the balcony outside.
"I heard Raven say you're back." Nightwing said, "But you haven't been here." ”
"Because there's always been something going on."
"Justice League?" Nightwing asked, "I heard you've officially joined them and moved up to the watchtower. New habits? ”
"It's okay." Eric said, turning to ask, "What about you?" What about Titans? ”
"It's good, like you see...... Except that the two of them are always fighting. ”
Nightwing said, paused for a moment, and said, "The other thing is...... Sometimes I really think that maybe I'm not the best guy for the captaincy. Just like today, I'm on the side and can't do anything about it every time they mess around, unlike you...... I've often wondered if you had taken over the team in the first place......"
Eric patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him, "But you're already the captain, and the best captain, understand?" No one can do it better than you. ”
Nightwing smiled, "Thank you." ”
Eric looked at the bustling city, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "You know, I went to another world during the four months I was away, right?" ”
"I've heard Raven say that."
"Before I came back, I was warned that my world was in great darkness."
"Darkness?" Nightwing frowned, "What darkness?" ”
"I don't know." Eric said as if to himself, "But based on something that's happened lately...... My gut tells me that whatever that is, it seems like it's coming soon. ”
On the other side of the city, a prison.
The sudden death of all prison officers, including convicts and prison guards, overnight will undoubtedly become a sensational big news. Rumors of mysterious creatures running rampant in the city spread throughout the city in just half a day. The rumors suddenly caused panic in the hearts of the people, and the citizens of New York City could not help but fear for their safety.
This matter has also attracted the attention of the Justice League. After breaking through some of the joints in the government department, the Justice League was allowed to cross the cordon and enter the prison to survey the scene. At this moment, Batman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Superman have all arrived in prison.
The scene of everyone lying on the ground as if they were asleep, and some of them in very strange positions, is hard not to be impressed. Even though these four people have already seen all kinds of scenes, the moment they step into it, they still feel a wind blowing in their hearts.
After squatting down to inspect the multiple corpses, Batman frowned and said, "No one here has obvious external injuries, and the cause of death is all heart-piercing." They have a very small radius wound in the ventricle area, and the break is very neat...... It's a little unnatural. ”
After scanning the circle with X's gaze, Superman retracted his gaze and said, "It's true that all of them are through the heart, and I can see the hole in their heart." They had no external injuries on their bodies, and the rest of their internal organs were intact, all of which were killed in one blow. ”
After a pause, he also frowned and added, "It's really weird." ”
The Flash flashed out of the aisle with a "whoosh" at this time, and appeared behind the two of them in an instant, saying: "All the surveillance videos have been deleted, and I can't view the surveillance of the day." But I just checked the list of the dead with the list of prison officers as fast as I could...... It was found that of all the prison guards and criminals that day, only one person was not here. ”
Realizing that this could be a crucial breakthrough, Batman hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" ”
"William Hand."
While The Flash was talking, Batman had already begun to call up the character's stats. His cloak was directly linked to the supercomputer in the Batcave, and the database contained almost all the records of the criminals on file in the state archives, and he soon found the criminal named "William Hand".
"Codenamed 'Black Hand', born in Seaside City, to a family in the funeral industry, he once picked up a magic wand that could absorb the energy of colored lights to use against Green Lantern, but was eventually defeated...... An insignificant little role. Batman said.
"So what's so special about this mission?" The Flash asked, "Hal, I heard you caught him in?" Any insights? ”
At this time, the Green Lantern, who was originally suspended above the prison to scan the remnants of the facility's energy, was stunned in mid-air, motionless as if he had lost his mind.
"Howl?"
Seeing that he didn't react at all in the communication channel, Superman simply flew out, stopped next to the green light, and asked, "What did you find?" ”
Green Lantern was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses: "What? No...... No, I mean a little bit of a discovery...... But I can't be sure. ”
Superman asks, "What the hell is going on, Hal?" ”
"I'm sorry, I just ...... Gotta confirm something. ”
After the Green Lantern finished speaking, his figure suddenly rose into the air, turning into a green light and rushing straight into the air.
"I'll let you know if there's a definite discovery!"
He left this sentence at the end.
Batman opened the location and glanced at it, and said lightly: "He has left Earth." ”
"Hal...... As always, he just likes to leave recklessly without saying a word. The Flash shrugged, "Ever since I knew him. Well, this aside, what do we do now? ”
"Now," Batman said, "we'll start with this 'black hand.'" ”
