71. Batman: You see, it turns out that my distrust is the means to protect you

"These creatures are called Skrulls, alien beings, good at disguise and lurking, a natural spy race, and extremely good at infiltrating sabotage and gathering intelligence.

It's almost their talent.

If there really was a god who created life in the universe, then he would have been absolutely immersed in spies during the days he had spent pinching the Skuru race.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain the fact that these guys' racial talents are all in the realm of espionage. ”

In Mason's office, he uses a hologram to explain the current state of affairs to the Master, including the data and characteristics gathered from Osborna's first round of testing of the two Skrull spies.

In Mason's complaint, he published the results of further research and the characteristics of his life, pointed to a simple and easy-to-understand hexagonal diagram, and said to the "listening" lord and Wick:

"There are currently no samples of the high-level lifeforms of the Skrulls, and from the vanguard level only, the vitality of these guys is close to that of weak transhumans.

Their strength and agility are times higher than normal, and their long-lasting endurance allows them to maintain their sharp thoughts even after twenty-four hours of intense torture.

Born with a certain amount of psychic enhancement, it is very resistant to charm and seduction, and has a fairly high technology water level, and can manipulate almost all electronic devices at the current level of the earth.

But all of these perks work in conjunction with their camouflage abilities.

They can transform into all the targets they have seen without contact, and after contact, they will simulate all the abilities of the target at the same time, although it is weakened so far, but this simulation has almost no limitations. ”

Mason emphasizes:

"In other words, if they come into contact with the super, they can turn themselves into a weakened version of the Kryptonians.

It is also important to note that when the Skrulls come into contact with the target, they will read a portion of the target's memory, and this range depends on willpower, so the Lord does not need to worry about this.

But it's easy for others in the couplet to leak important information because of this.

The Skrulls also have the technology to create deep memory mining devices, so if someone is judged missing, then they need to be prepared for secret leaks in advance. ”

"Hmm."

The brow furrowed under the old man's mask.

Just from what Mason explained, it can be judged that the enemy this time is really difficult, and John Wick next to him is still expressionless, revealing the style of a cold assassin.

"There's so much information collected so far, I've put it all together."

Mason took off the separation chip and handed it to Batman, then pointed to the computer on his desk, and said:

"This machine is connected to Osborne's database, and the newly discovered information is passed on, and if you make any discoveries, you can communicate with the researchers through it.

What I'm going to say next is the point.

I've made a device that can identify the Skrulls, and I've sent someone here to assist two in their search for spies who have infiltrated this world."

"Not necessarily."

The old man waved his hand and walked over to the computer at his desk to type in a line of code.

Immediately, the Bat Network's detection program was activated, and while connecting it to the watchtower's global monitoring system, he said to Mason and Wick:

"The prep plans I've made in the past have tactics specific to situations like this, and that's one of the many things I've done after the first time Amojo got out of control.

If only the Skrulls who are currently infiltrated into the Justice League are found, then this tactic should work. ”

"They've infiltrated, and there's more than one!"

John Wick, who had not spoken, took out a few photos from his arms and put them on the table, and the old man looked down and found that they were two second-tier superheroes active in the Met.

He looked at Wick in confusion, who pointed to the photo and explained:

"On the day I joined the Justice League, I noticed that the breath of these two people was not right, so I focused on observing them, and the conclusion I came to was very consistent with the news that Mason brought back today.

I'm sure these two are definitely Skrull. ”

"Oh? How did you find out? ”

Mason was intrigued, and he picked up the picture and looked at Wick, who hesitated for a moment and said:

"Assassin's intuition!

Of course, it's not just intuition, I don't have any evidence to debunk their disguise, but I can tell you that their disguise is so 'perfect' that it seems fake.

All of their actions begin to play around a special 'persona', and every move they make in front of outsiders reinforces this impression.

It's like the best actors are participating in a live movie. ”

John Wick paused and said:

"However, no matter how good an actor is, he is still an actor, and in my eyes, they are still incompatible with the temperament of ordinary people. I feel awkward every time I come into contact with them, and that's what I want to report to Mason.

I think they have a problem. ”

"Let's see."

The old man nodded, and after the connection process was complete, he took out the bat-shaped key from his multi-purpose combat belt and inserted it into the computer, and a hidden plug-in was activated.

In addition to the watchtower's real-time monitoring of all members of the Justice League, a special data signal is activated by the watchtower and sprinkled around the world, and after a few seconds, the red, green, and green punctuation marks on the world map on the screen are revealed.

"Each red dot represents the communication location of a member of the Justice League, and there will be a location signal even if the communicator is not turned on."

The old man pointed to the screen and briefly explained:

"The corresponding green dot indicates that the identifier on their body is working, and the number of red dots currently matches the number of people in the positive union, but the green dot is seven less.

We were infiltrated.

The enemy has quietly infiltrated us.

Your instincts, Wick, are accurate, the two members of the Mets are indeed pretenders, and I have reason to suspect that they lurked in that city to get close to Superman or Lois Lynn. ”

"Very sharp intuition, the Isu saints are terrifying."

Mason shook his head with some regret and said:

"It's a pity that this strategy can't be scaled up."

"I'm curious, when did you implant the locator for me?"

Wick looked at the point of light on the screen that represented him, and he couldn't help but ask:

"With my perception, it's impossible not to notice this process, and every time I come into contact with you, I deliberately distance myself from you, and I know that you have a habit of putting bugs on other people."

The old man did not answer the question.

This "bat secret technique" that belongs to him naturally can't be easily revealed, just a fleeting mysterious smile under the mask.

But Mason is not so particular.

He reached out and made a gesture of pressing his handprint, and whispered to Wick:

"You need to enter your fingerprint to join Justice Unicom, do you guess that the fingerprint device specially set up at the metropolitan headquarters has been tampered with by him?

But don't be offended.

He placed an isotope tag on me the first time I met him, and I was just a weak 17-year-old dropout of high school.

This is how Batman makes friends with other people.

How can you make him feel comfortable talking to you further without a locator? ”

The old man who had been demolished frowned, and he glanced back at Mason.

The latter made a covert "3" gesture to him, indicating that Wick had three additional devices on his body that could be activated in addition to the locator placed by Batman.

This response finally satisfied the master.

At the same time, he sighed in his heart that he was terrible, and decided that he must do two full body examinations for himself after going back to the Bat Cave today, and he suspected that he might have Mason left on him. No, no doubt!

Absolutely!

"In addition to the two pretenders in the Metropolis, two of the remaining five are in London, one in Atlantis and one in Kandaq.

The last one is in Star City!

This is the most dangerous, she has disguised herself as a black sparrow, and the target should be Green Arrow Oliver, and I don't know if he has found any clues. ”

The old man retrieved the information of the seven discovered pretenders, he stood in front of the computer with his head bowed, and said in a dumb voice:

"The main members of the Justice League are all targeted. The good news is that I don't have it around me yet, maybe they feel that an ordinary person doesn't deserve to be taken seriously? ”

"I'd rather than have Selena by your side all the time, and the symbiote will be able to see through the Skrulls' disguise once it's done parasitizing.

They may have sensed a threat. ”

Mason looked at the black canary on the screen and said to Wick beside him:

"We should have beaten this lady harder last time, if we had been more ruthless at that time, maybe these guys' disguises would have been discovered a long time ago."

"But this is only a pretender inside the Justice League, it does not represent the external situation."

Wick reminded:

"Even if you don't count the ordinary people in this world, there are many small groups outside of the Zhenglian, such as supervillains and spellcasters, and I have enough reason to suspect that the infiltration of those groups is even more serious."

"So, that's the next step."

Mason patted the arms box next to him, took out a biodecoy bomb from it, and said to the two men:

"Each can be used three times, and I brought a hundred and an additional two hundred energy modules, which should be enough for you to consume for the next period of time."

"But I think we might be able to go 'stalking' tactics."

The old man did not go to get the biodecoy bomb, he narrowed his eyes and said:

"The current situation is that these seven people don't know that we've identified them, and I suspect that there must be a network of contacts within such a spy vanguard, and they will aggregate information and exchange progress every once in a while.

Instead of relying on us to passively search, it is better to wait for them to be actively exposed.

Seven points can be tracked at the same time to map out a spy network, and by constantly observing this network, we can grasp their movements without irritating them, and then catch them all at the right time.

But to carry out this plan, I need an all-weather stealthy reconnaissance drone that can conceal over-acute perception."

"Smack"

Mason snapped his fingers, and three small drones that had been suspended in the room from the beginning of the conversation lifted their optical camouflage, exposing them to Lord and Wick.

He said:

"The prototype is a Pterodactyl spy assassination drone from a military technology company, upgraded with Isu technology and added a little Inhuman technology from Attilan City.

Intelligent AI manipulation, multiple tracking encryption recording modes, all-weather optical camouflage, solar power, swarm module, and three anesthetic needles can be fired when necessary.

I made it myself, and the effect was to take down a Tyrannosaurus rex in five seconds.

I'm guessing you'll choose to go long and short to catch big fish, so in a few days there's going to be a special isotope marker that firestorm made and only the instrument I designed can detect its unique spectrum.

Lo and behold, Mason the Craftsman has all the support for the two of you, and now it's time for you to bring back the good news. ”

"I need to talk to Superman and The Flash."

The lord didn't stay too long.

He took a small box of biodecoy bombs and five tracking drones from Mason, as well as the Justice League's gear upgrade blueprint and Wonder Woman's second mantra lasso, and left.

After seeing him leave, Mason looked at Wick beside him, who was clearly still here with something else to say.

The Master Assassin pointed to his cloak and said to Mason:

"This Johnny Silver Hand. It's noisy, it will affect my latent rhythm, can you get rid of him? ”

"I guess he's just chattering around you right now, still saying bad things about me?"

Mason smiled, waved his hand at the air beside Wick, and said:

"Hey, Silverhand, why don't you bother me, you idiot? Am I not important enough to have the guys behind you send special emissaries? ”

"He said he'd have to make a hole in your head sooner or later and do something disgusting in it, and besides, he said the gun in your waist was his."

Wick grimaced Johnny Silverhand's words.

Indeed, as Mason claimed, the data consciousness that was transferred to a replica version of the Isu Shroud cape would give Mason a frenzied middle finger and try to prevent Wick from revealing a secret conversation between him and the Master Assassin.

Sadly, John Wick apparently believed Mason more than he was an outdated rock singer and sociopath, so he told Mason exactly what Silver had told him during this time.

He said:

"He has been persuading me to join a strange organization, and has declared to me that they have the power to preserve my world from the malice of the Stellar Society.

He and the people behind him know about Team K's existence, and they know you all about it.

This makes me a little uneasy, Mason. ”

"I guess their leader is called Bartmoss?"

Mason popped out a cigarette and played with it in his hand, glancing at Wick, who nodded, visibly relieved to realize that Mason knew something about the force as well.

For the Master Assassin, an enemy with knowledge was not terrible, but he was truly afraid of ignorance.

"Go ahead and talk to him."

Mason said to Wick:

"I don't have to care about what they say about me, I can even introduce them to Sister Ka according to Silverhand's idea, but this will only have to wait until Flash successfully opens the connection between the two worlds.

I trust that these data lives will send messengers to interview me when necessary.

Finally, the silver hand"

Mason squeezed his eyes and said to his invisible data life:

"Your guns and your girlfriend are great, thanks to her last time for helping me out and thanking Ott for me, I'm looking forward to meeting her. Also, if you want to use Barbara, give it up now.

Since you know me, know my way of doing things and my attitude.

If Barbara suffers any harm, even if you didn't do it, I'll blame you!

So be it. ”

He nodded to Wick.

The Master Assassin was no longer concerned about his interaction with Johnny Silverhand, and as he left Mason's office and walked into the elevator that left the elevator, a projection very similar to Mason's and Consus's posture hit Wick, and Johnny Silverhand, wearing a tank top and jeans, and a toad glass, appeared in the elevator.

He leaned over and sneered at Wick:

"Do you have shit in your head? I said don't expose my existence! You actually chose to believe Mason Cooper? No! That guy and those company dogs are all the way.

He treats you as expendable tools.

You, and that gloomy Batman, and the world."

"That's better than you guys."

Wikra put on his hood and said with a blank face:

"I already know what is going on in your world from Judy, and I know exactly what you 'data ghosts' want to do, but the Isu world already has a group of ancient ghosts from 70,000 years ago haunting our veins

We don't need to bring in more troublesome guys. ”

"Whatever you idiot say, you know I'm here to help you."

Johnny Silverhand sarcastically said:

"If I hadn't reminded you early yesterday, your dog would have been shot to death by that madman."

When Silverhand mentioned the dog, Wick's coldness was noticeably higher, and he walked out of the bustling afterlife bar with a hint of oozing.

On a rainy day with neon lights shining outside the door, he tightened his hood and said:

"He can try, you can all try! But at your own risk. ”
