Rashomon.

This is used to describe a situation in which the parties to the incident have different words, the truth is difficult to distinguish, and the facts are confusing.

And at present, the case of Red is also in this complicated state.

——

Three months ago, two blood-indebted, brutal cosmic wanted criminals, the Red Lantern Demons, arrived near Earth, and in order to stop them from doing evil, Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner confronted them.

As a result, one of the Red Lantern Demons was successfully arrested and brought back to O'Axing's high-tech prison for detention, but another Red Lantern Demon took the opportunity to escape to Earth.

Due to Green Lantern's rule that civilization cannot interfere too much, and considering the danger of the Red Lantern Demon, the wise and great guardians of the universe have decided to send the elite warrior of the Green Lantern, the Supreme Green Lantern Kraken, to carry out this hunt.

Under the authority of the Guardians of the Universe, the Supreme Green Lantern Kraken approached and offered to cooperate with the Federal Government, the most powerful indigenous power on Earth, with Amanda Waller, the Federation's representative for transhuman affairs, becoming the person in charge.

After a series of investigations, Waller has managed to uncover the traces of the Red Lantern Demon, a dangerous cosmic terrorist lurking in Gotham...... It's not a good idea to say that he is lurking, but he is sheltered by the Batman, a local crime fighter in Gotham.

Because Batman is a member of a crime fighting club called the "Justice League" on Earth, and has a bad track record and ambition to use the Brother's Eye Satellite to endanger world peace and security. After discussion, Waller and Kraken decided to keep a low profile in order to avoid conflict, and to capture the Red Lantern Demon as little as possible.

The agent sent by Waller is the superhero Earthgirl who faked her death many years ago, and she was once a member of the Teen Titans. It is believed that he died heroically in an operation, but in fact he had already been secretly rescued by Waller, and after healing his injuries, he secretly worked for the federal government.

Dirt and Stone contacted her brother, King Markov, for help, and after confirming that his sister was safe, he immediately summoned his former "outsiders" to organize his teammates, superheroes Black Thunderbolt and Halo, to assist in the operation.

At first, they didn't trust Waller's claims, until the Supreme Green Lantern Kraken appeared and showed them several videos...... About the cat-shaped Red Lantern Demon, who once slaughtered the army on aliens and was full of blood debts.

Realizing the danger of the cat-shaped red lantern demon and the possibility that he had blinded the mind of the batman, the "Outsider" team decided to infiltrate Gotham by the earth and stone girl on Chinese New Year's Eve, intending to contact someone she once knew to investigate the situation.

However, unexpectedly, the Red Lantern Demon and his newly developed accomplices suddenly showed their fierce faces and killed Barbara Gordon, and the Earth and Stone Girl had to lure the Red Lantern Demon out of Gotham in order to reduce the loss, and then it was a tragic and great battle......

This is the "truth" that Amanda Waller and the Supreme Green Light Kraken confessed.

——

"Hahaha, hahahahahaha...... Ahem, choked. Alas, Lingxing, I'm sorry to wake you up, but no, I can't help it, it's so funny. ”

Almost at the same time, in the underground cells of the Hall of Justice, Red leaned back in laughter as he listened to Superman's relays of the above situation. After being woken up, Lingxing, who had just fallen asleep, kicked Red's stomach with the meat ball of the cat's claws to show his dissatisfaction.

"Hahahaha...... Whew, wait a minute, let me slow down. This kind of show is much more interesting than the New Year's Eve party sketch, but it's a pity that I couldn't witness Batman's expression, which must be very exciting. ”

But in stark contrast, Superman's expression was solemn and his brows shrunk, and he looked at Red with a look of displeasure who almost burst into tears.

"It's not funny, Red. If Waller's claims are believed, you will be carried away by the Supreme Green Light as the worst criminal, and it is true that you took the lives of those heroes in the most egregious way anyway. ”

"First of all...... The so-called truth is not very meaningful, the problem is what these people above want to achieve - just like Amanda Waller, she also knows very well that you will not believe this kind of lie full of prejudice and distortion of the facts, but as long as it can expose the dark side of the Justice League and the Teen Titans, it is enough for her. ”

Red stretched and fell back, lying comfortably on the ground, seemingly unconcerned about what they were discussing.

"And if I'm not mistaken, I'm not the one who's been annoyed by Waller's words right now."

——

"As the commander-in-chief of the Celestial Eye Society, I'm sorry I didn't notify the Justice League immediately. But it turns out that Batman did shelter Red Douglas for unknown reasons, so we were forced to let Rock Girl—"

"Fart! Nonsense!! ”

As Red expected, the person who reacted the most to Waller's words was not Batman, but the Flash Wally West, who was originally watching the play.

He had a curious expression at first, but his expression froze from the time Waller mentioned the Rock Girl, and then his face gradually became more and more ugly, and finally he couldn't help but slam his fist on the table and stood up.

Nightwing...... Now I can tell the story. ”

Wally looked at Nightwing, who were just Lightning Kid and Robin at the time of the Judas Pact, and as members of the Young Titans, they knew the truth of the tragedy better than anyone else.

Seeing Nightwing nodding with a gloomy face, Wally took a deep breath and said slowly.

"First of all, Tara...... She must have died unmistakably that day, when Nightwing and I were on the scene, and her body had been identified. ”

"But you're not a doctor, and there may be exceptions—"

"Secondly!"

The Flash interrupted Waller again, and after some mental struggle, he continued wistfully.

"You say that Tara has always acted as a hero, but this is impossible...... Because before she died, we found out that she was a spy planted by Deathbell, but in order to maintain her reputation with the Teen Titan, we concealed this fact! ”

Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, and Green Lantern John Stewart all showed surprised expressions, after all, the fact that a villain was promoted to the world as a hero, and the fact that it had been covered up for so many years before it was revealed, was not a glorious thing for either the Titans or the Justice League.

However, Amanda Waller seems to have known this, and even has a smile on his face that he has succeeded in his plan.

"It's hard to believe that I'm just saying this now, Flash...... And it doesn't seem impossible that the Earth and Stone Girl will change her life after she comes back from the dead. ”

The Flash seems to want to continue arguing with Waller, but is stopped by Batman reaching out.

"Leave it to me, have you said what you should have said, Amanda Waller?"

Batman's disapproving gaze made the temperature of the entire conference room seem to drop by a few degrees, obviously just an ordinary person, but this man has a coercion over the other superhumans present.

"Then it's my turn, someone used the clone of the Earth and Stone Girl to set a trap and deliberately provoked several heroes to kill each other with Red, thus creating an ugly story of chaotic killing."

"So you're accusing me of lying, Batman?"

Waller still looked poised and unfazed.

"No, everyone knows that you will do whatever it takes...... I'm referring to the Supreme Green Light Kraken. ”

Batman raised his hand and pointed at the scarred Supreme Green Light.

"I suspect she has betrayed the Green Lantern Corps and deliberately created conflict at the behest or control of someone else!"
