Chapter Twenty-Four: Heating Up

What Red sensed was just a small case-

In an alley, a couple and their children are robbed at gunpoint, and the robbers are easily subdued by Red, who arrives in time, just as they are about to shoot.

Of course, the method is a little cruel, specifically being thrown into the trash can with broken hands and feet, and the cosplay axe gang is the second leader.

"Well, it wasn't Batman, no, I mean thank you....."

"Don't be like this, brother, thanks to this, this can man?"

Red looked at his brother and sister who looked at him with adoring eyes, and the parents who hugged their children tightly for the rest of their lives, and thought to himself that maybe it was time to take an official heroic code name.

"Uh...... You can call me Red-Eyed. ”

The father of the two children walked up to Red and gratefully shook Red's hand.

"Thank you so much, hero, for saving our Crawford family. Especially Hank and Claire..... The two children almost provoked the robbers on impulse. ”

So is the anger that attracts you from these two children?

And Hank and Claire...... and the surname Crawford...... Why is it so familiar.

"All in all, thank you, Brother Red-Eyed. Also, Happy New Year! ”

When the frightened family had already said goodbye to Red, Red finally remembered that the names of the two children were the future Gotham Heroes and Gotham Girls.

It seems that he has inadvertently made an impact on the events of the DC world again, and it is time to admit that he is bound to the world and cannot stay out of it forever.

He remembered the adoring gaze that the Crawford siblings had just looked at him.

It's honest...... It's not bad.

"It's the way to go, so let's decide!"

Red raised the Red 7 Promethium Katana in his hand, took a deep breath, and poured his energy into it.

I saw that under the moonlight, the blood on the katana continued to condense again, and then burst out an invisible energy wave.

At the same time, the blade seemed to be wrapped in a seemingly non-existent air mass, showing a completely different oppressive force than before.

It seems that this is my fate.

The success of the red 8 increase not only means that Red has further improved his strength, but more importantly, he no longer needs to continue to collect other people's anger every day.

After all, if Red Eight increases further, it needs 256% energy, and for Red, who currently has a 200% upper limit of rage, it is now the end of his strength increase.

Maybe you really shouldn't let the revenge that has ended continue to affect you, and it's time to look forward to a new life in the new year.

Red took a breath of the cold air of the end of December, and felt that the red light energy in his body had cooled a little.

But then there's another problem...... Psychic star.

From the beginning, Lingxing only existed as his own power bank, and later in the battle of Heimen Prison, Lingxing risked death to create a chance for himself to win..... To be honest, the cat who saved himself now has a certain weight in Red's heart.

Psyche is hell-bent on finding the missing Atohitas, and although Red has promised to help him, Red is honestly not hopeful. Atohitas is the leader of the red light, even he was defeated and arrested, why should he send his head?

Looks like we'll have to find a way to convince Spirit Star to give up this idea and stay on Earth with me......

Suddenly, at this moment, Red's face changed, and he suddenly jumped into the air, and looked solemnly in the direction of Gordon's house.

At any time, the spirit star, which is always full of angry energy, can be sensed by Red.

But now the breath of the Spirit Star ...... Gone?

Red's blood, which had just cooled a little, was now starting to heat up rapidly again.

β€”β€”

Washington, D.C., Hall of Justice.

β€œ...... To sum up, we have all faced many difficulties in the past year...... But we have all solved one difficult problem after another through solidarity and hard work, as always. Let's toast to the Justice League, to the peace of the world, and of course...... Happy New Year! ”

In the Hall of Justice, Superman ends the Justice League's annual summary meeting with an enthusiastic voice and announces the beginning of the feast.

As is customary tonight, members of the Justice League and many related superhero organizations gathered to reflect on the League's history of keeping the peace and fighting the wicked throughout the year.

The tall and burly Superman looked at the scene where many heroes gathered together, and a sunny smile appeared on his face.

"The spirit of the League is being inherited, and maybe more and more people will become heroes in the future, take over the banner we once carried to protect peace, the future of the Justice League is full of hope, right, Batman."

Superman turned around and looked at his best friend, who was also the best partner in the world. But Batman still maintained a cold expression and remained motionless at this time, as if he couldn't hear Superman greeting him, which was incompatible with the warm and festive atmosphere around him.

Superman didn't look impressed, though, and he shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"I know you don't like the excitement and haven't been to our party in previous years - but I'm glad you're here tonight, and it's been a long time since we've had a chance to get together, but unfortunately Diana and Green Lantern aren't there tonight......"

"I'm here, Superman. While I know you're referring to the Green Lantern as Hal Jordan β€” or Kyle Renner, I hope you'll remember that I'm also a Green Lantern. ”

I saw a black man wrapped in a green leotard standing behind Superman, and Superman immediately waved his hands a little cramped and guilty.

"I'm sorry, John, I definitely didn't mean to offend you, I just accidentally ......"

"Just kidding, Superman. Hal and I are also friends, but unfortunately they both happen to have a mission back to the Green Lantern Headquarters OA Star, and I would like to offer New Year's greetings to all of you on behalf of all the Green Lantern Men who are guarding this sector. ”

Green Lantern John Stewart smiled brightly, shook Superman's hand amicably, and then turned to look at Batman next to him.

"It's a pleasure to see you here, too, Batman. I happen to have something I want to talk to you about as well......"

However, John's gentle and friendly smile soon froze, as he noticed that Batman paid no attention to his outstretched handβ€”it was a small matter, and more importantly, the cold hostility that revealed from his eyes.

The air around him seemed to drop a few degrees, and Superman seemed to notice that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and said in a low voice close to Batman's ear.

"Bruce, what's wrong?"

However, Batman didn't pay attention to Superman, just stared coldly at the black Green Lantern in front of him, and just when Superman wanted to say something to play the round, someone trotted all the way over.

"Superman, the Titans want to take a picture with you, especially the Cyborg kid who has been making trouble there...... Please. ”

Hearing Nightwing's request, Superman glanced at Batman and Green Lantern with some concern, and finally walked with Nightwing to the Titan team in the corner.

And after Superman leaves, Batman finally speaks in a hoarse and deep voice.

"Green Lantern, John Stewart, follow me to the back to a quieter place, I have something to ask you."
