"I'm sorry, I don't know."

However, things don't always go as planned, and seeing Barbara's slightly apologetic gaze, Red knows that she doesn't intend to deceive herself, and she doesn't hide anything.

Before the war with Darkseid began, Batman had completely sealed Diana, who was patient zero, and also protected Superman's wife Louise, who acted very quickly and decisively, the only problem was ......

Batman's secrecy is so good that only he knows where they are hiding.

"I've also noticed Queen Hippolyta's thoughts, but let's not talk about whether killing Diana will solve the problem...... First of all, I didn't even know where she was, the failure was so sudden that Batman didn't tell me everything. ”

While Barbara and Red were talking, they were also paying attention to the images on the computer screens around them, she was now coordinating the global combat operations as "Batman", and Red knew that she didn't have the time and energy to be distracted from the investigation, and this matter couldn't be left to anyone else - Wonder Woman Diana was the source of the release of the anti-life equation, which was the biggest secret hidden from the world.

"Louise's words, all I know is that Bruce found her in the Fortress of Solitude and protected her...... But then it is not known where it was transferred. ”

Although he was a little disappointed, Red could only accept this fact, but when he heard the next news, he soon found that there was another village.

"As for the one you said...... Special super girl, I did hear a little news. ”

According to Barbara, it was a few months ago when a blonde girl appeared on the streets of Brughhaven with bruises and near death, who looked a little similar to Supergirl, but was wearing a gray-black tights uniform and did not have an S-shaped symbol of hope on her chest.

Rather, it was two red bolts of lightning.

"At that time, the Shadow Bureau and Mr. Excellence protected her for treatment, but soon the decisive battle at Bloomhaven occurred, and when the survivors of the Shadow Bureau evacuated, they failed to take her away."

Red's heart sank, if that was the case, then his plan would be in vain......

"I heard that the assets of the Shadow Bureau were finally swallowed up and confiscated by Lex Luthor of the Super Villain Secret Society."

Luther?

Red's mind moved, and he focused on the Lantern Ring, contacting another member of the Red Lantern Legion thousands of miles away.

"Can you hear me, Ivan?"

——

"You want to infiltrate the Lex Enterprise? It's too dangerous! It's the stronghold of the Supervillain's secret society, and Luthor and the others are under the command of Libra, the self-proclaimed Darkseid Preacher, and you're going to die if you go alone! ”

It's not easy to get into the locked down metropolis without knowing it. Even if there is Ivan Li to cooperate with the outside, Red doesn't want to directly fight Darkseid in advance, so he wants to find a low-key way to invade.

"You don't have to worry about me, Barbara. You also know I'm in Washington—"

"Those are two different things! And I know that something must be wrong with your abilities, and the way you fight now is completely different from what you were then, so ...... In short, your combat power is very valuable to us, so stay here and listen to my arrangement. ”

Barbara was so strongly opposed to Red's plan that Eve, who was eavesdropping on the side, whispered to Red.

"This Miss Barbara, was she your lover before, I think she cares about you very much."

Of course, Red knew that this was not the case, but Barbara was indeed a little overly worried about him, and to be honest, Red knew that he had killed so many heroes, and even if he knew the reason, he could not be easily forgiven by others.

But after thinking about it carefully, Red still guessed the reason why Barbara was so nervous.

"Barbara, you're not blaming yourself for not being able to go on the superhero path today, are you?"

Barbara's voice stopped abruptly, and the wavering emotion in her eyes flashed over, and although it was quickly masked, it still did not escape Red's capture.

Sure enough, Red's rampage all started on that Chinese New Year's Eve, when Barbara and Lingxing were attacked by Earth and Stone Girl and Deathknell. At that time, Batman went to Washington to investigate intelligence, and Barbara took over the task of being optimistic about Red, but not only did not prevent the tragedy from happening, but became the fuse of everything.

Of course, Red doesn't feel like it's Barbara's responsibility – but what she thinks about it is another story.

"I ...... It's not ......"

"Listen, Barbara, nothing has changed in my mind, either then or now—I want to make myself and the people I care about...... Or the cat lives a stable and comfortable life, and I don't care if it's a hero or a villain, but if I can, of course I'm more inclined to be a hero. ”

Red scratched Lingxing's chin as he spoke, and the latter responded by licking the back of Red's hand with his small barbed tongue.

"Now I can tell you that rescuing that supergirl from the parallel world of the German Labor Party is an important part of saving this world. Believe it or not, I'm going to do it—but of course, I'd like to have your help. ”

Barbara hesitated for a long time, and it didn't seem that she had made up her mind so easily, and Red decided to add another fire.

"And you must be tired of the days of passive resistance, and the others are the same, and the fall of one city after another will continue to wear down their will. Especially now that Canterlot has just fallen, I think everyone is pessimistic about the future of this war—"

"It's time to bring them an inspiring victory."

——

Metropolis, headquarters of the Lex Group.

"How's the Kryptonian research going, Luther?"

A masked man in a yellow cloak and holding a pure gold balance said to the bald man in front of him in a condescending manner, and the latter's facial muscles twitched, but he quickly suppressed his displeasure.

"Research is ongoing...... That girl had been too weak to use too radical research methods—"

"Don't grind! I'm not asking you to engage in boring humanitarianism, we need to show Master Darkseid what we've done and build a powerful weapon against the Kryptonians! ”

The masked man pressed the Scepter of Scales against Luther's chest and scolded in a commanding tone.

"Granny Kindness has once again asked us to hand over that German supergirl and educate her to be the new Nemesis; Disard also wants to use her as a seedbed to breed new types of demons with Kryptonian bloodlines - if you don't show some results, I think you should know that Darkseid doesn't need waste, and your free consciousness will almost have to be replaced by the anti-life equation! ”

When the masked man flicked his cloak and left the office in dissatisfaction, Luthor sat down in his chair for a long time before pressing the communicator in his ear.

"Hey, is it Ivan Vanko?"

"If your friend wants to act, tell him it's time to speed up."
