Mason returned to Gotham to deal with the Skuru spies lurking in this world.

It wasn't hard for him to do this, having already gotten the Psychic Signifier from Brainiac, but the really hard part was that the Skrulls were just one of the outposts of the massive invasion.

The "woken up" of this world are the real trouble!

Just like the relationship between the Evil Six and Brainiac, these guys who have chosen to betray their hometown for various reasons are rooted in their hometown, and they have many ways to hide themselves well, and it is really difficult to catch their tail unless they are actively exposed.

Batman, the Justice League and the Old Lady's League of Assassins have been secretly tracking these people, and they have made gains, but it is obviously not so easy to come up with a complete eradication.

Mason didn't ask too much about the master's progress in this regard, he was also a member of the bat family, and he knew the master's style of acting, and he would definitely say it when he felt he should say it.

It's also in vain to ask now.

Although already an honorary Robin, Mason is clearly not confident enough to make Batman fully trust himself.

Because this guy doesn't believe anyone!

He'd put a monitor on the woman he loved, hell, if someone else did this, Mason would have called the police on the spot.

"Whoosh"

The activated Speed Force Tail Ring was as powerful as ever, sending Mason and the Master to Kent Farm in the small town of Smaller, Kansas, in less than a few seconds.

This is the home of Dachao, and it belongs to the area that the Justice League must focus on protecting.

The farm was quiet at night, the harvested corn was still piled up in the open field, and the crops on Kent Farm were in excellent condition and could be sold for a good price.

Flash, who arrived early, was running around the area to gather clues, while the Assassin Saint Wick was looking around from the vantage point, and Nightwing was treating an unconscious Martha Kent.

"She fainted, and now it's hard to say if it's the enemy's hand."

Grayson looked up and said to Mason and the old man:

"But she wasn't hurt, and I was more inclined to think it might have been caused by fright, after all, it was impossible for Dachao to allow someone else to hurt his mother in a situation."

"What about trace search results?"

Mason squatted down and began to check on Martha's condition, and the old man asked, Dashao shook his head and said:

"There were no traces, no fights or even pulls, it was like it happened in an instant, but I can't imagine anyone who could subdue Superman in an instant.

Perhaps there is some secret power that we haven't found out. ”

"Hat, check."

Mason said to the Panama hat on his head.

Without saying a word, the hat threw out a large area of magic detection, a faint blue light covering the direction of Kent Farm, and after a few seconds, it said:

"There is magic residue, but the caster is highly skilled, I can't trace any traces of space, and in addition, there is a kryptonite breath left, but not much."

"It's really weird."

Mason pursed his lips, diluted a pair of palliatives, and gave them to Lady Martha, and said to the young man and the master:

"She's just frightened and too tired from a coma, and she'll be fine with a good night's sleep, but I suspect Martha probably doesn't know what's going on.

She's just an ordinary person, and it's hard for her to capture really valuable information.

Now Da Chao and Little Joe are missing, but what about Louise?

Wasn't she attacked? ”

"Louise is out for an interview tonight."

Flashing appeared beside Mason, holding a corn cob from Kent Farm in his hand and rubbing it back and forth twice to let it ripen on the heat, and while breaking off the popcorn and throwing it into his mouth, he said:

"I went to see it just now, and she was driving back and should have received the news."

"You go and protect her."

The old man instructed Xiao Shan:

"She could also be targeted, and if someone wants to coerce Clark, capturing Louise and threatening her is a very effective strategy."

"Hmm!"

Flash shoved the corn cob in his hand to Dashao, and disappeared in place with a whoosh, Grayson continued to look after Martha outside the door, and the old man and Mason walked into the room of the farm.

It's really shabby here.

It fully proves that Dachao is not a generous economic condition, but it is very warm and tidy, and it is maintained by an excellent hostess.

There was no trace of it, but Mason stepped forward and slapped it on the old television and said:

"Tell me, what just happened?"

"You should be polite to me! Mason Cooper! ”

A round face with data architecture suddenly popped up on the screen of the turned off TV, and Dr. Zola scolded him unhappily:

"I'm one of you now, hell, I've said everything I need to say and shouldn't say, and I've even been forced to act as a TV on this small farm to relieve the bear kid's boredom.

Isn't that enough for you to trust me? ”

"You know it's protection for you."

The old man said in a dumb voice:

"A lot of people are looking for you, they've even touched the Arctic Circle, and moving you here is the best decision right now."

"But you should untie my restrictions a little bit."

Dr. Zola, who was on the TV, complained:

"Even if I give me a free thread and a few more automated bots, I can protect myself... Okay, okay, I know what you guys want to ask.

But the truth is, I don't know what's going on. ”

Dr. Zora manipulated the television screen to show its previous monitoring of the entire room.

On the screen, Dachao can be seen helping his mother prepare dinner, looking happy, and then Xiao Qiao's scream sounded outside the door, and the picture ended after Dachao rushed out.

"In an instant!"

Dr. Zola replied firmly:

"Everything happened in an instant!

Whoever did it must have been premeditated, and if it weren't for the fact that you didn't allow me to install more cameras here, I might have been able to give you more useful information. ”

"Picture playback."

Mason pushed the frame and crouched in front of the TV, analyzing the picture almost frame by frame, and after a few moments, he pointed to an invisible light distortion outside the kitchen window and asked his hat:

"Does this look like the displacement of light caused by "shapeshifting"? ”

"Well, it's possible."

The hat could not give an affirmative answer either, it replied:

"If you want to take Superman away in a silent moment, then Shapeshifting is indeed an option, this magic is activated very quickly, and if you are prepared, it will indeed leave no more traces.

If the other party prepares kryptonite in advance or has some kind of means to target the Kryptonite, then even the great super will be hit in an instant.

Kryptonite's weak demon constitution is really a big problem.

What's more, those guys may have taken his children hostage first, and even the most powerful hero in the world was ambushed and knocked down under the care. ”

"Those wizards who have been on the run are under the scrutiny of Cyborg in this world, and the spellcasters under the command of Doctor Fate have not relaxed their efforts to capture them."

The old man said in a dumb voice:

"There's no reason for them to take a risk at this time, and it's strange to be targeting the most powerful of us.

I need to get in touch with Xiaozha.

She's been tracking down the cunning guys lately and is said to have locked down their hideouts. ”

"The most powerful spellcaster in the world has been in charge, but there has been no news for almost two months, which in itself represents some terrible speculation."

Mason got up and looked at his watch and said:

"But you'd better wait ten minutes before you call... Xiaozha may be a little "busy", and I'm coming back with Zakang this time. Although he didn't know how he was going to convince Xiaozha to change his mind, the guy was at least full of confidence. ”

"Whoosh"

Xiao Shan's figure appeared in the room in the next moment, holding the "reporter man" who rushed home from the interview scene in his arms.

Lady Louise Lane burst into tears when she saw the empty home in her trench coat.

As the wife of Dachao Ming Media, she should have been used to such a dangerous life, but now that even the child has been kidnapped, it is really difficult for the mother to accept.

The old man stepped forward and whispered to comfort her, but Mason raised an eyebrow.

Looking at the "Louise Lynn" in front of him in surprise, he first touched the bracelet on his right wrist, and then pulled out Johnny's gun at his waist and aimed it at her.

He said:

"You're not a Skrull, or you'd have knelt down in front of me, but I'm curious what a pretender is doing here at this sensitive moment?

Go ahead!

Do you have anything to do with Superman's disappearance? ”

"Huh"

The old man, who was comforting Louise, magically popped out a batrang and buckled it around her neck, and Nightwing at the door pulled out his armed stick, and the little flash flashed out without understanding what was happening.

But then, he saw the reporter hero who was brought back by his own hands melted like "soft mud" in front of everyone, and then reshaped into a very peculiar "green-skinned man" in the next moment.

He has a rather bizarre skull structure.

The back of the head is sharp and elongated, but it still has facial features, and it is tall, the skin of the whole body reveals a strange green, and there are cloaks and battle clothes on the body to cover the body.

A pair of eyes are as dark red as volcanic ash, and they don't look like good people.

In the face of Mason's pistol and the old man's weapon, he did not intend to show his courage and strength, but moved his mouth and replied in a neutral voice:

"Don't be nervous, guys, I have no ill intentions. Miss Louise was sent by me to a mysterious fortress in the North Pole, where she directed me to the money.

Because she had been attacked by mysterious people before, those who could flicker the space wanted to capture her, and she was interviewing at the police station where I worked, and I saved her.

She begged me to come and see her family, and she was sure it was an attack on her husband. ”

"Fortress of Solitude?"

The old man watched warily as the pretender took a step back, turning to contact the Lonely Fortress to confirm Louise's condition, while Mason looked curiously at the very kind guy in front of him.

He said:

"You're a Martian?"

"Huh?"

The guy looked at Mason in surprise and asked with a hint of eagerness:

"Have you seen someone like me anywhere else? Do you know the Martians, does that mean that there are still my compatriots who have escaped that terrible catastrophe? ”

"Well, I've only heard stories about you, you're the first Martian I've ever met."

Mason rubbed his forehead, and seeing the disappointed look on the Martian in front of him, he hesitated to tell him the truth.

In the miniature universe of Brainiac's Vault Dweller ship, an entire Mars is housed in it, and it's filled with a kingdom of Martians who are just as alive as the guy in front of them.

Mason's answer disappointed the Martian a little, but he seemed to be used to being disappointed, and asked Mason with great curiosity:

"How did you find out about my disguise? I've approached the world's superheroes several times out of curiosity, and I've rubbed shoulders with Wonder Woman in London, but they haven't been able to spot me. ”

"Your mental power."

Mason pointed to his head and said:

"I'll admit that your psychic perception is so clever that it's not even like Professor X's silent psychic listening, but unfortunately I insured my will a long time ago.

Your snooping triggered it.

Another reason is that, as I know of Ms. Louise Lynne, she will only actively try to save her husband and children in this situation, and will not be as helpless as you pretend.

You always have to believe in the courage and execution of the journalist, a delicate earth girl can't win the love of Dachao, and in a sense, Clark is also a very picky person. ”

"Indeed."

The Martian nodded approvingly and said:

"Miss Lynn has always been calm, even when she was attacked, she didn't panic, it's because my camouflage skills are too rough."

Louise was indeed at the Fortress of Solitude, and she verified the claims of this "Mr. Ron." ”

The old man returned to his room and said to Mason:

It was indeed the enthusiastic "Martian Manhunter" who helped her, and Louise gave valuable information, telling me that the person who attacked her was disguised as her cameraman and suddenly attacked.

It's the Skrulls!

The wizards and the Skrulls have merged. ”

"It seems that it was the sudden death of Brainiac that overwhelmed the Skrulls, and sensing the danger, they were tricked by some of the creatures of this world into launching an unprepared attack."

Mason shook his head and said:

"It was really an unplanned event, which is why it looked like there was no trace."

"I can help!"

Martian Manhunter Ryan Junz took the initiative to speak:

"Or the mutual attraction between the pretender and the pretender, in short, I've been secretly watching out for the strange aliens who can be disguised just like me.

I sensed that their activity on Earth could mean chaos to come, so I took care to gather their movements.

I know of several of their strongholds in North America. ”

"But why are you helping?"

The old man looked at the alien in front of him who had been hiding on the earth for several years with a tone of scrutiny, and he said in a hoarse tone:

"Your suspicion has not been ruled out."

"I'm a "hunter"! ”

The Martian didn't care about the old man's coldness and vigilance, he explained very seriously:

"In my lost homeland, this is the equivalent of your 'policeman' here, and I have sworn to defend my people and my family.

But I couldn't do it, I lost them.

If I have fallen into Earth by accident and been treated with kindness by new friends, if I consider this place my new home, then I should also contribute to its order. ”

"Hey man, that's a great thing to say!"

Little Flash whistled and patted Martian Manhunter on the shoulder, saying:

"You should join us, join the Justice League, in these stormy times, we need the power of all good people."

The simple Flash is still making friends, but the master and Mason have already begun to discuss the plan of action.

"You can't use the Justice League so as not to startle the snake, Team K can't be used if it's already registered in this world, Xiaozha has combat power over there but the number is not enough, my opinion is to use a special operations team."

Mason said to the master:

"A team that won't attract the attention of others, I'll dispatch it, and you're ready to close the net, so take this opportunity to wipe out all the Skrulls hiding here!"

"I suspect the Skrulls have a premonition of our movements."

The old man said seriously:

"Skrull's disguise mimics abilities, and it's likely that they took Superman in a last-ditch effort to replicate his abilities. They are not true Kryptonians, and Kryptonite has limited power to suppress them.

What a cunning tactic. ”

"I have energy rays that can disqualify the Skrulls as ineffective, developed by a smart man from another world, and neurotoxins that can make them weak.

Even the Super Skrull can't resist it. ”

Mason didn't care about this threat, he took out the bat hard drive containing the corresponding data and handed it to the master, and said in a firm tone:

"Beyond that, I have a last resort to counterbalance them, and the Skrrulls can be of our disposal, Batman, and they will be a nuisance to the enemy.

Just like the trouble they cause us. ”

The old man was persuaded after seeing with his own eyes the psychic sign that Mason showed him on his right wrist.

He contacted the Justice League's arrangements everywhere to prepare for the net, and Mason also left Kent Farm, found his flip phone, sent the old lady a message that "Operation Execution" had begun, and dialed a number.

"Damian, you've just returned to Osborna? Just so, bring your squad members to pick up your weapons at the Afterlife Bar, and Judy will arrange for someone to drop you off in the action area.

Haven't you always wanted to show your dad your progress and abilities?

Don't say I won't give you a chance in the future. ”
