Chapter 241: The Number of People I Trust Is ...... 0
Mecha Superman squatted at the top of the building, silently talking to the voices ringing in his ears.
"Your name is the Meditation Mites?"
His half-metal, half-organism face shone with an intriguing look.
"Of course, of course. Batman is our enemy, but that doesn't mean we're friends. ”
He said, "Don't think you can threaten me by revealing my identity to Batman, do you think he's a fool?" ”
But soon, he heard the words of the meditative mites, and his face finally changed.
"Wait......"
"Can you open the tunnel without going through the mother box?"
He hovered and flew.
"How do you prove it?"
……
……
……
"We ...... We'll talk about that when I get back, Alfred. ”
Chen Tao frowned.
He said something briefly, and immediately changed his itinerary from the direction to Lucius' lab to the Batcave.
He was keenly aware of Alfred's emotions, but such an emotional outburst did not look like something Alfred would do.
Hey, listen.
Maybe Chen Tao knew that his next thoughts had no basis, which would make people think that he was suffering from paranoia, or that he was suffering from a nervous breakdown oppressed by all kinds of pressure, and his brain was already a little abnormal.
But he still thinks so:
Someone is manipulating Alfred.
Maybe it's just a simple psychological cue, maybe it's just guiding the other person to see what they want to see, so as to use the other person's thoughts, guide the other person's behavior, and then use Alfred, the person closest to him, to try to influence him - Batman.
Chen Tao doesn't believe in coincidences, at the juncture of many things, Alfred abruptly and directly expressed his inner thoughts at this time, which is very suspicious in itself.
This must be something someone is deliberately doing, maybe it's just an action, a look.
This speculation is baseless, but it is an intuition, a sixth sense.
So...... Who would that person be?
As Chen Tao walked into the bat cave, he saw Alfred sitting alone in the chair in front of the bat computer, like a dying mountain entrenched in the position where it should have left.
Alfred browsing photos on the bat computer.
On the smooth lawn, young Bruce sat squatting, innocently grasping the green grass with his palms no bigger than walnuts.
"You're here, Lord Bruce."
The old man turned his head. He smiled reluctantly, then turned off the photo.
Chen Tao walked to his side in silence, carefully considering the words he wanted to speak to him.
"Alfred, I want to know why you're asking me that question you asked me in the newsletter."
He ended up with a slightly more neutral phrase. This sentence can be translated as, "Where do I behave like I don't look like I retired?" But it can also be interpreted as, "Who led you to this idea?" ”
Of course, Alfred automatically used the former explanation.
He talked about recent events.
"Master Dick and the Suicide Squad have been dealing with crime in Gotham lately. The Penguin Man said that he had changed his ways, and took the initiative to provide a lot of information, which greatly increased the success rate of Master Dick's operation. ”
"The Freeze and Lincoln March teamed up to discover the remnants of the Owl Court in Gotham, or 'backbone', and the two of them were professional counterparts in dealing with rats in the gutter like the Owl Court."
Chen Tao stood next to him, quietly listening to the old man's chatter.
"Mr. Barry Allen, the Flash, has had a very stable superhero career lately, and he has captured another villain called The Mist, all of which have been given to Iron Mountain Prison, and I just provided Iron Mountain Prison with our superpower suppression device for prisoners in the Bat Cave some time ago."
"Oh yes, and Billy, Billy Batson, who's now the most famous superhero in New York! It's young, but it's a great job, but sometimes it has low self-esteem. ”
"Wonder Woman is entangled with her arch-enemies, as always."
"And Supergirl. Some people also call her Superwoman, did you know that the last time Master Dick was a little confused, it was Miss Carla Kent who flew directly from the Met to Gotham to help him? ”
"They're young people with potential."
Alfred said.
"Master Bruce, I don't mean to say something stupid that you can entrust the affairs of the Justice League to them, and I still know very well that there are some matters that they simply cannot afford to replace your existence."
Alfred's voice was sincere, with some hesitation and negotiation.
"I just think sometimes, Master Bruce, why don't you try to teach them, take them with you, try to make them face the crises you should be facing, and then ......"
"Then gradually nurture them, and find an heir among them." Chen Tao said: "When the heir can be on his own, I can slowly retire and enjoy my retirement." ”
"Yes, Lord Bruce. But now you don't seem to have that idea at all. ”
Alfred says:
"You can summon Barry Allen the Flash or Carla Kent from thousands of miles away with a single phone call, and at their speeds, it won't take them more than five minutes to reach any corner of the planet. Or maybe you could bring Shazambilly Batson or Master Dick with you and get them involved in what you're doing, even Miss Diana! ”
The old man's words didn't show excitement or unwillingness, but Chen Tao knew that he was just deliberately using the skills he had learned in his previous years as an agent to carefully control his emotions.
He didn't want his Bruce to be sorry for his sadness or sorrow.
He's doing a great job.
"Okay, I'll do that, I just wasn't used to it." Chen Tao's face showed a look of shame, and then became a little serious:
"You're right, Alfred, you woke me up. I'm still referring to the ways I used to solve problems in the past, and I'm afraid that others won't do it well, but I ignore that I'm still doing everything by myself, which will only make my teammates useless and make them never be able to take my responsibility. ”
He said solemnly: "I will change my method of operation...... In fact, when I established the Justice League, I took the initiative to give the position of leader to Supergirl with a similar idea, but in the end, I still solved the problem by myself, which is equivalent to putting her in the air in a de facto sense, which is really wrong. ”
Chen Tao continued to talk to Alfred as usual, and then asked a little abruptly, "Eh, Alfred, how did you think of calling me to remind me of this?" ”
This is a question that looks good at first glance, but after a closer look, it is full of suspicion.
Chen Tao was already trying to lower Alfred's vigilance as much as possible, and the butler who had a career as an agent was extremely resistant to this kind of speech, once the other party sensed some distrust in his questioning......
That would break the old butler's heart.
Chen Tao pretended not to look at the old housekeeper, but his palms were almost sweating.
He was waiting for a reply.
"First Diana came to you, it was about the leopard girl, you weren't there, she said why are you so busy."
Alfred says:
Then Barry Allen, the Flash, came over and said that he felt that Reverse Lightning Swan had done something big, and he could feel it from afar through the speed of speed, but he didn't know what it was. When he heard that you were not there, he left. ”
And then there's Billy Batson...... Shazam told me that his father had come back to him after many years...... He said it was his happiest moment. ”
"And Master Dick...... He had come to sue the new scoundrels for being too gentle to deter the gangsters in Gotham, and he said, 'Can the scoundrels be called criminals?' Something like that. ”
"Oh, is that so?"
Chen Tao touched his chin.
"You told me that Shazam, Billy Batson's father, is back looking for his son?"
……
……
……
In the corner of a city, in a dark alley.
"He's the key to controlling Billy Batson, Black Adam."
The voices of the meditative mites rang out through the voice of Dr. Sivana, who stood on the corner of the street and watched a down-and-out middle-aged man walk by smoking a cigarette.
"Once we have Billy's dad, he'll be able to do it at our disposal, including handing over his power."
Dr. Sivana turned to look at Black Adam, "And we need your help, that's why we've gone to great lengths to help bring you back to life." ”
Standing beside them was Black Adam.
He should have been wiped out, disappeared in the endless wailing, smeared by the torrent of time, and turned into the dust of history, but he was standing here with a good face at this time, and his face was terrible.
"Don't think I'm going to be grateful to you, Meditation Mites. You've opened the connection between the seven magical continents, do you really know what the consequences of doing so will be? And you, Sivana, are aiding and abetting, which is a very dangerous act. I've endured you long enough, and I should have separated you a long time ago......"
"You told me you would keep our world safe, but I didn't see that at all," he said. ”
He held out his hand to Dr. Sivana:
"Do you think I'm an idiot who doesn't know magic?"
But then, a bolt of lightning pierced Black Adam's body, causing him to let out a low scream.
"Thanks to the Meditation Mites, my strength has increased incrediblely." Dr. Sivana turned around and looked at Black Adam, who had been his envy before, "I have read every book in the Eternal Library, and I have mastered every spell. ”
It's just a short separation, but the person kneeling down at this moment is Black Adam.
"You don't understand what the Meditation Mite will do to us once he is able to reach other magical continents."
Black Adam withdrew his hand, his face became more and more gloomy, in this short exchange, he had realized that the other party was not what he used to be, and he could not handle Dr. Sivana as easily as before.
"Oh, but he knows, my dear friend."
Wisps of colored smoke erupted from Dr. Sivana's seven orifices, then condensed in the air into the illusion of a meditative mite.
After realizing that Dr. Sivana would not be able to convince Black Adam, the Meditation Mite took matters into his own hands.
"I've told him my plan, I'm going to free my monster guild from their shackles and put the seven magical continents back under my control."
"Nope! So where will my continent go? Black Adam roared, "Your plan threatens the entire Kandak and his people!" ”
Black Adam lunged at Dr. Sivana again, but he was soon hit against the wall again by the rays that erupted from his eyes.
"If you refuse to join us." Dr. Sivana said, his voice resonating with the Meditation Mites, "We want your help, Black Adam, there is no more far-sighted military mind on this planet, we admit." ”
"Hey, what's going on out there?"
A black civilian opened the door, and he was shocked to see three superhumans appear at his door.
"No—" Before Black Adam could stop it, he saw the Meditation Mite wave his hand, or rather, its tentacles.
Immediately after, wisps of decay flooded the face of the commoner, his jet-black hair turned white, his face became wrinkled, and then the whole person turned into a skeleton.
With a bang, the civilian who had become Mr. Skeleton lay on the ground in collapse, quickly losing his life.
The voice of the meditative mite rang out:
"Indeed, in a war that runs through the Magic Continent, many people will die, and they will all be wiped out like this civilian, and they will be reduced to nothingness."
Black Adam's face was ugly, but he remained unmoved.
"But if you're on our side, not only will Kandak survive, but I, the Meditation Mites, will also unlock the true power of the Dark Lands."
"The kingdom of the undead liars?"
"The Land of the Dead. He will bring back your wife and children, or Elise and Osiris, if you prefer to call it that. We've got you all the things you wanted! ”
Black Adam was finally moved, but he didn't dare to fully believe it yet.
"I've tried many times myself, and no one can bring them back to life." "Raising the dead is something that is absolutely impossible," he said. ”
"I understand your distrust of me, great Black Adam, firstly, I must ask you for forgiveness for our last conversation, and secondly, show me my new abilities."
The voice of the meditative mite rang out: "I offer you the seven deadly sins. ”
"They will fulfill all wishes whenever and wherever they want."
Black Adam turned his head and saw seven wisps of colored smoke appear in front of him: "Indeed, they ...... These monsters were sealed by the Wizards' Council, by the hands of the wizard Shazam himself...... You summoned them, controlled them, how did you do that? ”
"My strength has become stronger, and so can yours." Meditation mite said.
"Did I tell you we have other allies?"
