Chapter 165: Unguarded Heroines
Red suddenly discovers that this is an unparalleled opportunity to gather intelligence.
Whether it's a human, a transhuman, or an alien, it's always the most relaxed time to take a bath, and talking to a comrade who has just fought side by side often reveals some hidden information without defense.
As for the scenery under water...... Ahem, of course, Red as a gentleman will not be attracted by this.
"What's the matter, raven, are you still thinking about Mary?"
"Yes, I could feel it just now, she is now controlled by dark magic...... Doing something completely contrary to her nature......"
"Don't worry, we'll find a way to remove the dark magic from her and bring her back to her senses-"
"No, I'm more worried about ...... Sister Zatanna, if I also lose myself like her, I hope you will be able to ...... me"
"Don't be cranky, raven, although I can't see the future for a while, I will never give up hope for the future."
"Madame Shangdu is right, now that we have lost too many partners, we are now united to protect all the remaining talents, and we will not easily leave anyone behind."
Judging from the dialogue and skin color and hair color, it can be judged that they are the three famous heroes on the magic side of the DC world, Zatana, Raven, and Lady Shangdu, and Raven's petite body and sickly white skin are particularly conspicuous compared to the two mature beauties next to him.
It seems that the magical Mary of the Overworld has been blackened by Darkseid's control, and has become the most dangerous enemy of all magical side heroes after being strengthened by Darkseid's power.
"Our operation was foreseen by the other party again, and we directly ran into Darkseid's minions, and sure enough, we had a ......"
"Shhhh
"But don't you think it's horrible, Kendra—to think that among us there are guys who hide their true colors and play for Darkseid, Kendra—"
"Calm down, suspicion is in the hands of the enemy, we just need to unite and act together, and don't give the inner ghost a chance to break through, now we don't have a lasso of mantra, and we don't have a Martian who can read minds, and we must trust our companions without evidence."
The blonde girl is supposed to be the current magical girl Cassie Shandmark, and the brown-haired woman she talks to is Kendra Sanders the Eagle Girl.
It sounds like among the current survivors, they suspect the existence of a Darkseid mole - no, not suspicion, already convinced.
Red sorted out the information he overheard, and gradually sorted out the current situation in this world through the different perspectives of everyone.
According to the information gathered so far, Batman actually listened to his warning before being teleported, and immediately began to prepare for the war with Darkseid after the Washington incident.
The destruction of Washington and the temporary failure of the government of the United States have become Batman's advantage, and he unites all the heroic organizations on the planet, and also enlists Green Lantern's help to curb the expansion of the anti-life equation by creating a green light grid barrier and cutting off global network communications.
This is also the reason why in the final crisis of the original work, humanity was wiped out by Darkseid 3 billion people in just a few days, but it can hold out for months in this world.
But in fact, it was not Batman's purpose to turn the war into a long-term tug-of-war, he originally developed a plan for thousands of Green Lantern and all the superheroes on Earth to work together to defeat Darkseid.
I heard that the Darkseid stronghold they found at that time was Brughhaven, which is the same as the setting in the original work......
However, this war was a one-sided rout at the beginning.
Darkseid seems to have foreseen their battle plan, as they were ambushed and attacked as soon as they arrived in Brudehaven, with most of the superheroes killed or captured.
Green Lantern heard that there were heavy casualties and was forcibly recalled by the little blue man to Ou Ah Xing as a defense, and the remaining superheroes could only switch from offense to defense under the leadership of Batman and take refuge in various secret strongholds.
Paradise Island is one of them.
After the Amazonian attack, the Amazons except Hippolyta were cursed and turned into ordinary people, lost their memories and fell into human society, and Hippolyta guarded the empty paradise island alone.
After the war with Darkseid began, Hippolyta offered Paradise Island to be used as a stronghold for the survivors' rebels, with the only condition that all people entering Paradise Island must be female heroes.
Hela also took this opportunity to enter Paradise Island, claiming to be a hidden superhuman and proving herself reliable with her strength.
In short, Paradise Island is a paradise blessed by the gods, with abundant food and powerful spell protection, but they soon find that Paradise Island has been attacked many times since the acceptance of the heroes, and their actions have been ambushed many times.
Later, Batman secretly commissioned the Martian girl to use her mind reading to probe the minds of people on Paradise Island, but as a result, she was immediately controlled by the anti-life equation as soon as she arrived on Paradise Island.
Although it was not possible to find out who the inner ghost was, it also became conclusive evidence.
Therefore, in order to prevent the inner ghosts from being broken, all the people on Paradise Island will be dispatched if they have a task, which is why Red couldn't find anyone else on Paradise Island before - instead of leaving a part of the defenders and being secretly corrupted and controlled, it is better to act as a whole, even if Paradise Island is occupied as an empty city, as long as they fight back together.
But even then, if they let themselves in.....
"No, no! Sword Soul, Mr. Sword Soul, he's gone! ”
Red could hear little Iris's nervous voice outside the water, and it seemed that this was a good opportunity to get out, so he immediately secretly explained a few words to Hela through the Lantern Ring.
"Then let's all go and help find it, maybe the man called Sword Soul is dazed and lost, maybe we can find the monster's lair this time, and he also has a share of the credit."
At Hela's instigation, the others left the bath one after another, accompanied by the sound of rushing water. Although the welfare time was over, Red was still relieved - many of those girls just now had extremely powerful abilities, and if they knew that they were eating tofu like this, they would definitely not be able to eat it and walk around.
When there was almost no movement outside, Red crept out of the bath, which had been soaked long enough, but it was rare for him to systematically gather a wave of intelligence.
After all, Linda and the others were trapped in Canterlot before, and a lot of in-depth secret information was not known.
Just as Red was thinking about how to pretend to be lost later, Red, who had just walked to the exit of the large bathhouse, suddenly had a bad instinct, and before he could react, someone grabbed his hand.
"Maybe you don't know, but as the queen of Paradise Island, I know everything you do—"
"So, can you talk to me, Red Douglas."
