256, the mastermind behind the scenes, the curious Diana
As the commander of the Eye of the Sky and the warden of the superhuman prison Bellev, Amanda Waller cares about her own safety.
As soon as Roy and Diana descended to the viewing balcony, the apartment's silent alarm system sounded the alarm.
Amanda Waller, who was in the bedroom, was the first to wake up.
Then, decisively opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a pistol from it.
After getting the pistol, she got up and went to her desk and opened the laptop on the table.
Looking at the real-time monitoring screen displayed on the computer screen, Amanda Waller suddenly frowned.
How could it be them?
After seeing that the people who broke into her apartment were Roy and Diana, Amanda immediately had a bad premonition.
Although Roy and Diana's purpose is not clearly understood, after discovering that the intruder is the two of them, she first turns off the alarm system.
Then, putting on his coat, he left the bedroom with a pistol.
Living room.
"If you're here for Barbara Minerva's escape, all I can say is no comment."
After seeing the report of Barbara's attack on the museum, Amanda guessed that Diana would definitely come looking for her.
However, she didn't expect that Diana would actually bring Roy with her.
Amanda guessed that Diana would come looking for her, and Diana guessed that Amanda would definitely answer like this.
"I want all the surveillance cameras from the days before Barbara leaves prison."
Diana said to Amanda.
"My people have already checked the surveillance and found nothing."
"Of course, I can give you a copy if you want."
Amanda said quickly.
"Send the surveillance camera to my private email."
Diana continued.
"Okay."
Amanda replied.
Roy wasn't going to get involved in Diana and Amanda's conversation, but he frowned slightly when he saw Amanda acting so cooperatively.
Something is wrong!
That's not Amanda's style!
Just as he was wondering if Amanda was deliberately hiding something, Diana turned to him and said:
"Let's go back."
That's it?
After hearing Diana's words, Roy felt more and more that something was wrong.
After thinking for a few seconds, he said to Diana:
"Good!"
With that, he followed Diana out of Amanda's apartment.
After watching Diana and Roy leave, Amanda's already dark face became even darker.
The apartment is located on the roof of a building near the building.
"Do you think it's a bit too casual for me to leave without asking anything?"
Diana asked Roy.
"It's a little."
"If you just want a CCTV camera of Barbara in prison, you just have to call Amanda and you don't have to come there in person."
"Especially at times like these."
"If I'm not mistaken, Amanda's answer and attitude should remind you of something."
Roy said slowly.
After hearing his words, Diana looked at him with some surprise.
"You guessed it right, Amanda's attitude and answer did give me some guesses."
"I can now be sure that Barbara's prison escape has nothing to do with Amanda, and it is even possible that Amanda arranged it single-handedly."
Diana said quickly.
"Do you suspect Amanda is the mastermind behind Barbara?"
Roy continued.
"Yes."
"But there is one thing I don't understand, and that is that if Amanda really wants to seal the clay figurines with the succubus, she has many legal ways to get her hands on them, and she doesn't need to send Barbara to the museum to grab them."
Although Amanda doesn't have any superpowers, as the official head of the beautiful country to deal with transhuman affairs, she can mobilize many superhumans to help her.
Take, for example, the Suicide Squad!
"Is there such a possibility, Amanda is indeed the instigator behind Barbara, but it is only her personal decision to snatch the terracotta figurines that sealed the succubus."
"If that's the case, then it would explain why she sent Barbara to the museum to snatch the figurines, rather than take them from the museum in a more legal way."
"Because it can bypass the authorities, leave no written records, and it won't be known to unrelated people."
Roy spoke his mind.
"There's some truth to what you're saying, but there's no evidence yet that this is Amanda's personal decision."
"Also, if it was really Amanda's personal decision to snatch the figurines, it means that she must have had other purposes."
"As one of the commanders of the Celestial Eye Society, she knows very well how dangerous a succubus is from other dimensions."
"If superhumans are just C4 bombs that don't know when they will explode, then the Succubus is the equivalent of a nuclear bomb that can explode at any time."
"It's true that she's prejudiced against transhumans, but she's also one of the few officials who really knows how dangerous transhumans really are."
Diana said with a frown.
After hearing Diana's words, Roy suddenly remembered something.
Damn it!
How did I forget this thing!
Under normal circumstances, Amanda did not limit the succubus's abilities, so even if the clay figurines that sealed the succubus fell into her hands, she would not be able to use the power of the succubus.
But if she had the heart of a succubus in her hands, it would be a different story.
As long as you control the heart of the succubus, you are not afraid that the succubus will not be obedient.
What's more, the succubus of this universe came by herself, and her brother "Nightmare" did not come to this universe with her.
This also means that as long as the succubus can't get her heart back, she can only obey the orders of others.
If the succubus's heart really has fallen into Amanda's hands, then it all makes sense.
There is a plausible answer to the question of how Barbara was able to escape from Bellieve Prison and why Barbara knew that the terracotta figurines that sealed the succubus had been donated to the museum.
Because the person who is hiding behind the scenes and directing Barbara is Amanda.
As for why Amanda asked Barbara to go to the museum to snatch the terracotta figurines, instead of using official means to get the terracotta figurines, it is not difficult to understand.
First of all, there are indeed many transhuman criminals in Belleaf Prison, but not many can fight Diana.
Although Barbara's strength is not as good as Diana's, compared to other criminals, Barbara is already the most suitable person.
The strength is not weak, and he can compete with Diana for a while, and he also has the experience of fighting Diana.
Unless Bellieve Prison is still holding superhuman criminals who can compete with Diana head-on.
Otherwise, Barbara is the perfect fit.
In the end, if Amanda uses official means to ask the museum for terracotta figurines, then the matter of the succubus will definitely be reported.
When the time comes, even if the Succubus has to obey her orders because of her heart, the Succubus will be an official pawn of the Pretty Country, not Amanda's own pawn.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Roy's sudden frown, Diana immediately asked.
"That...... One thing suddenly occurred to me. ”
"The heart of the succubus!"
"Although the terracotta figurines that sealed the succubus have been found, the heart of the succubus has been missing."
"I suspect that the heart of the succubus has now fallen into Amanda's hands."
At this point, Roy didn't go any further.
If Diana can't react to this level, then Diana is too dull.
As Roy expected, Diana immediately frowned.
Obviously, she also guessed why Amanda would send Barbara to the museum to snatch the terracotta figurines, instead of using official means to take the terracotta figurines.
"If the succubus's heart really falls into Amanda's hands, then ......"
Diana didn't go on either, but her meaning was already obvious.
"Are the terracotta figurines still in the museum's temporary storage?"
Roy asked.
"Well, it's still in the temporary warehouse."
Diana replied quickly.
"Let's go over and make sure."
With that, Roy activated the power of the stars in front of Diana and created a star portal to the museum's temporary warehouse.
The museum wasn't very far from where they were now, and was completely within the teleportation range of the flash.
But instead of flashing into the past, Roy created a relatively inconvenient star portal.
He did it for a simple reason.
If he flashed into the past, he would have to hold Diana or put his arm around her.
Although he wouldn't mind, Diana not.
After all, they just met last night, and the relationship is not good enough to hug each other.
After seeing the pale cyan portal that appeared out of thin air, Diana showed a surprised expression.
Although she had determined that Roy was a superhuman, she did not know what kind of superhuman abilities Roy possessed.
Or rather, she didn't know exactly how much supernatural power Roy had.
But one thing she knew for sure was that Roy wielded an extremely high-level energy.
I don't know if it's her own delusion, but when she stands near Roy, she always has a feeling that the divine power in her body is invisibly suppressed.
After thinking for a few seconds, she turned to Roy and asked:
"Is it convenient to ask what kind of energy you have in your hands?"
What?
Roy looked at Diana with a surprised expression, not expecting Diana to ask such a question at such a time.
"If it's inconvenient, forget it, it's me who is presumptuous."
After seeing Roy's surprised expression, Diana reacted and found herself asking an intimate question about Roy's privacy.
"There's nothing inconvenient, the energy I have in my hands now is an energy called the power of the stars."
"To put it simply, you can think of it as the power of the stars."
Roy said slowly.
Simply revealing some of the properties of the power of the stars to Diana would not be a problem.
On the one hand, Diana was not an enemy.
Even if Diana was an enemy, she couldn't use this information against Roy.
The power of the stars does have some of the properties of the power of the stars, but the power of the stars is not the whole of the power of the stars.
Compared to the power of ordinary stars, for example, compared to the power of planets and stars, the power level of the power of the stars is higher.
"I am now more and more curious about your origins by being able to control the power of the stars with a human body."
After meeting Roy and Serena last night, Diana used her intelligence channels to investigate the two of them.
Selina's experience was easily investigated.
Even the fact that Selina left Gotham to study with the Armless Master was easily investigated.
Compared with Selena, who was born "innocent", Roy's origin is a bit complicated.
To be precise, no matter how Diana investigated, she could only investigate Roy's information in Gotham.
Where he came from, what he had experienced before, blank, impossible to trace.
"Everybody goes through something special."
Roy doesn't intend to continue on this topic.
After speaking, he took the lead in entering the Star Portal and came to the temporary warehouse with a high security level.
After seeing him cross the portal into the temporary warehouse, Diana did not continue to ask questions, and followed him to the warehouse.
Soon, they found the chest where the succubus figurines were kept.
"It seems that Amanda really wants to seal the clamor of the succubus."
Looking at the box with only cushioning foam left, Roy shrugged his shoulders and said slowly.
"I was careless, knowing that Barbara's goal was to seal the succubus's figurines, so I should have taken them away instead of staying here."
Diana said with a frown.
"You can't be blamed for this, you didn't know that Barbara's mastermind behind the scenes was Amanda."
Roy continued.
"Even if I didn't know that Amanda was the mastermind behind Barbara at that time, I should have put the terracotta figurines in another warehouse for safekeeping."
"Keeping the figurines here is basically the same as giving them away."
Diana said quickly.
"Don't be too self-conscious, it's not your problem."
"Besides, even if the terracotta figurines do fall into the hands of Amanda, the worst outcome is nothing more than a fight with the succubus."
"As long as you win the succubus, there will be no problems."
Unlike Diana, Roy didn't think it would be much trouble for the figurines to fall into Amanda's hands.
Even if Amanda did release the succubus, it wouldn't be tricky.
Isn't it just a higher life from another dimension?
Just kill it!
No big deal.
In Roy's opinion, this is not a big deal at all.
But Diana didn't think so.
If the strength of the succubus is really as strong as recorded in the ancient books.
Then even if they can reseal the succubus, or kill the succubus directly, it will definitely cause a lot of collateral damage.
This is something that Diana doesn't want to see.
After a few seconds of silence, Diana didn't say anything, turned around and left, passed through the star portal, and returned to the top of the previous building.
After seeing that Diana was going to go directly to Amanda's apartment, Roy spoke:
"You're not going to just go over and confront Amanda, are you?"
"She's not the kind of person who would admit it."
Diana turned her head to look at Roy and said with a serious expression:
"In front of the Lasso of Truth, she can only tell the truth."
Forehead......
After hearing Diana's words, Roy reacted that Diana had the unscientific artifact of the Lasso of Truth.
